Her sculptural works are infused with symbolism and metaphors in the forms of cages\, nests and butterflies. All works are made entirely of varying weights and types of paper\, including hanji (Korean traditional) and common coffee filters. Representing concepts of time\, memory\, openness and constraint\, the pieces are created with traditional methods\, using scissors and simple die-cutting tools\; cross-disciplinary techniques\, such as weaving and tatting used in fiber arts\; and technologies like laser cutting machines. There are two series of paper nests: one created entirely without the use of adhesive\, and the other involves tatting with knots. Viewers are encouraged to contemplate\, find meaning and ultimately – hope.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

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 landscape shrines in this exhibit combine her work as an environmental artist with the experience of that pristine\, remote\, beautiful\, and at risk environment. The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting\, monotype\, photography\, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change. Meant to bring complex ideas and big emotions into a size one can literally hold in one’s hands\, the works have charred exteriors and bright colors and metal leaf echoing traditional Tibetan iconography in depicting the beauty and spiritual power of high places. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \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. 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.

Yes\, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I\, unfortunately\, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”\n\nValery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation\, Florida\, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, Lagos\, Bilbao\, and Melbourne. In 2018 she received the Gold AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award\, an annual award recognizing artists of Korean heritage in the United States.

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.

As one of the largest subsets of biosensors\, biomolecular sensors are specifically developed and programmed to detect\, quantify and analyze biomolecules in liquid samples.\n \nWide-ranging applications have made immunoassays increasingly popular for biomolecular detection and quantification. Among these\, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are of particular interest due to high specificity and reproducibility. To some extent\, ELISA has been regarded as a “gold standard” for quantifying analytes (especially protein analytes) in both clinical diagnostics and fundamental biological research. However\, traditional (96-well plate-based) ELISA still suffers from several notable drawbacks\, such as long assay time (4–6 hours)\, lengthy procedures\, and large sample/reagent consumption (∼100 μL). These inherent disadvantages still significantly limit traditional ELISA's applicability to areas such as rapid clinical diagnosis of acute diseases (e.g.\, viral pneumonia\, acute organ rejection)\, and biological research that requires accurate measurements with precious or low abundance samples (e.g.\, tail vein serum from a mouse). Thus\, a bimolecular sensing technology that has high sensitivity\, short assay time\, and small sample/reagent consumption is still strongly desired.\n \nIn this dissertation\, we introduce the development of a multifunctional and automated optofluidic biosensing platform that can resolve the aforementioned problems. In contrast to conventional plate-based ELISA\, our optofluidic ELISA platform utilizes mass-producible polystyrene microfluidic channels with a high surface-to-volume ratio as the immunoassay reactors\, which greatly shortens the total assay time. We also developed a low-noise signal amplification protocol and an optical signal quantification system that was optimized for the optofluidic ELISA platform.\n \nOur optofluidic ELISA platform provides several attractive features such as small sample/reagent consumption (<8 µL)\, short total assay time (30-45 min)\, high sensitivity (~1 pg/mL for most markers)\, and a broad dynamic range (3-4 orders of magnitude). Using these features\, we successfully quantified mouse FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) concentration with a single drop of tail vein serum. We also successfully monitored bladder cancer progression in orthotopic xenografted mice with only <50 µL of mouse urine. More excitingly\, we achieved highly-sensitive exosome quantification and multiplexed immuno-profiling with <40 ng/mL of total input protein (per assay). These remarkable milestones could not be achieved with conventional plate-based ELISA but were enabled by our unique optofluidic ELISA. \n \nAs an emerging member of the bimolecular sensor family\, our optofluidic ELISA platform provides a high-performance and cost-effective tool for a plethora of applications\, including endocrinal\, cancer animal model\, cellular biology\, and even forensic science research. In the future\, this technology platform can also be renovated for clinical applications such as personalized cancer diagnosis/prognosis and rapid point-of-care diagnostics for infectious diseases.

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.

Terroir\, Ecological Stewardship\, and Heritage Politics in the Bulgarian Wine Industry DESCRIPTION:Bulgaria is arguably one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world\, and built a large\, highly industrialized and export-oriented wine sector during state socialism as a wine-producing specialist of COMECON (the economic alliance of Soviet allies). When socialism collapsed in 1989\, the wine industry faced multiple challenges\, including the accepted international hierarchy of wine-producing countries through which Bulgarian wines then became understood and marketed. In this talk\, I examine the contestations over the idea of *terroir* (a taste of place) among Bulgarian wine professionals to understand how wine is involved in heritage projects. As new resources and opportunities became available through EU heritage politics in which wine traditions became a central piece of the heritage industry and of agricultural and rural development\, these debates highlight diverse meanings of ecological stewardship in light of heritage preservation. Understanding wine as a cultural heritage raises important questions of whose and which past is worthy of preservation\, and why. The tensions within the Bulgarian wine industry\, namely reconciling the cultural pride of winemaking heritage with a competitive hierarchical global wine market\, illustrate the multi-faceted aspects of culture\, ecology\, and politics in the era of post-Cold War globalization.\n \nYuson Jung is associate professor of anthropology at Wayne State University. Her research explores issues of consumption\, food politics\, globalization\, and postsocialism. She is the author of \"Balkan Blues: Consumer Politics after State Socialism\" (Indiana University Press\, 2019) which examines everyday consumer experience in postsocialist Bulgaria. She has also co-edited (with Jakob Klein and Melissa Caldwell) \"Ethical Eating in the Postsocialist and Socialist World\" (University of California Press\, 2014). Currently\, she is working on a book project entitled \"The Cultural Politics of Wine: Globalization\, Heritage\, and the Transformation of the Bulgarian Wine Industry\,\" as well as on a collaborative research project (with Andrew Newman) regarding food politics and urban governance in Detroit.\n\nThis lecture is part of the WCEE environment series.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

I will show how the attractive self-interactions of dark matter (DM) axions over a broad range of masses\, from 10^−22 eV to 10^7 GeV\, can lead to nongravitational growth of density fluctuations and the formation of bound objects. This structure formation enhancement is driven by parametric resonance when the initial field misalignment is large\, and it affects axion density perturbations on length scales of order the Hubble horizon when the axion field starts oscillating\, deep inside the radiation-dominated era. This effect can turn an otherwise nearly scale-invariant spectrum of adiabatic perturbations into one that has a spike at the aforementioned scales\, producing objects ranging from dense DM halos to scalar-field configurations such as solitons and oscillons. This \"large-misalignment mechanism\" leads to various observational consequences in gravitational lensing and interactions\, baryonic structures and star formation\, direct detection (including for the QCD axion)\, and stochastic gravitational waves.

To address the endogeneity between firms' lobbying expenditure and their size\, we propose a new instrument. Specifically\, we measure firms' political connections based on the geographic proximity between their headquarter locations and politicians' districts in the U.S.\, and trace the value of these networks over time by exploiting politicians' assignment to congressional committees. We find that a 10 percent increase in lobbying expenditure leads to a 3 percent gain in revenue. To investigate the macroeconomic consequences of these effects\, we develop a heterogeneous firm-level model with endogenous lobbying. Using a novel dataset that we construct\, we document new stylized facts about lobbying behavior and use them\, including the one from the instrument\, to estimate the model. Our counterfactual analysis shows that the return to firms' lobbying activities amounts to a 22 percent decrease in aggregate productivity in the U.S.\n\nIn Song Kim's research interests include International Political Economy\, Formal and Quantitative Methodology. \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.

Cities in countries with well developed economies like the U.S. enjoy economic prosperity in part due to the development of heavily centralized water systems that create high levels of water quality and public health\, on average. While centralized water infrastructure has served us well\, I argue that we should not be constrained to applying 20th century thinking as we plan for the future. The current revolution in information technologies (IT: software\, hardware and devices) has the potential to transform urban water infrastructure by creating more resilient and flexible hybrid systems comprised of an interacting collection of centralized and decentralized physical IT systems. I contend that the development of IT-enabled “smart” hybrid water system solutions has the potential to: improve the efficiency with which we use resources (e.g.\, water\, power\,\nnutrients)\; enhance equitable access to water services\; change consumer and provider behavior around water\; and ensure that we sustain a high level of public health\, even as more people live in close proximity to each other. In this talk and through the use of case studies from across different regions around the globe\, I will explore these scenarios and the changing ways in which people live. As an example\, one case study will include the development of “smart” distributed nutrient recovery systems that have been deployed and are being tested at the University of Michigan.\n\nNancy Love is the Borchardt and Glysson Collegiate Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan.

This demographic shift highlights the increasing importance of fully explaining the mechanisms that drive changes in outcomes relevant to older adults. Merging evolutionary perspectives on fundamental social motivations with current aging research\, we propose a framework for understanding cognitive and behavioral outcomes in older adults from an ultimate\, threat-based perspective. Using publically available secondary IAT data from Project Implicit (N = 552\,288)\, we present a disease-specific test case for our framework. Preliminary results reveal flexible\, specific responses to different disease-relevant targets across the lifespan that may be tied to age-dependent threats.\n\nNadia Vossoughi:\n\nTitle: Witnessing microaggressions in an engineering context harms learning and participation.\n\nAbstract: Experiencing microaggressions—defined as subtle verbal\, behavioral\, or environmental slights directed towards someone due to their social category (Sue\, 2010)—impedes academic success among marginalized students in science and engineering (e.g.\, Moss-Racusin et al.\, 2018\; Adams et al.\, 2006). Most research examining the consequences of microaggressions has focused on directly experiencing microaggressions\, but we propose that just witnessing microaggressions may create a negative environment that also impedes academic success. Using an experimental design\, we showed undergraduate science and engineering students (n=208) video footage of a mixed gender group working on a design project that participants believed they would later join. From the video footage participants either witnessed subtle bias directed at a woman by a man (microaggression condition) or subtle bias did not occur in the interactions (control condition). We find that just witnessing microaggressions leads to lower memory retention of engineering material\, and decreased desire to join their group (ps<.05). The negative effect of witnessing microaggressions was present for both men and women and remained significant after controlling for confidence in one’s engineering abilities and rejection sensitivity. Results indicate that the presence of microaggressions contributes to a negative environment that is detrimental to everyone’s academic learning and participation.

A SIG brings people together who have a common interest that they wish to pursue indefinitely within a structure of meetings and activities designed primarily by the members of the group. \n\nA SIG does not have a formal class syllabus. Members of a SIG determine the content and discussion of a SIG. A designated facilitator arranges meetings\, takes attendance\, and initiates the discussion among the SIG members on how the group will operate. \n\n\nThe Mystery Book Club is all about mysteries. Mysteries are the only genre of literature where an author offers readers a chance to figure out the story for themselves. We all love identifying the villain before he or she’s revealed. But some authors do this better than others. \n\nOur book club is unique in that we seek out authors who are not really in the public eye and then critique their ability to do just that\, i.e. spin a tale that keeps the reader engrossed right up to the last page. We do have a long list of authors that our members have expressed an interest in reading. Each month we pick a different author from that list. Everyone is then free to read any number of this author’s works that they choose and submit their evaluation to the group at our meeting. \n\nOpinions given are quite honest\, always enlightening\, and the resulting discussions are always lively. Each person’s review of the author ends by answering the question: “Would you recommend this author to a friend?” \n\nThis Shared Interest will be facilitated by Sydney Kaufman and will meet the second Wednesday of every month.

Dashboard displays are seen as powerful metacognitive tools\, and delivering them to learners is intended to support awareness and decision-making\, and trigger self-reflection. Despite their increasing availability\, recent meta-reviews of the existing research on LADs have revealed that there are few empirical studies on the impact of dashboards on student motivation\, behavior\, and skills. In this talk I will present the student dashboard we have designed and tested here at the University at Michigan\, called MyLA (My Learning Analytics). In a partnership between the School of Information\, School of Education\, and the Teaching and Learning group at ITS\, we have created a Canvas-integrated dashboard that uses design principles derived from Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) theory combined with a focus on accessible and actionable information. Based data from 10 Winter 2019 courses where MyLA was available\, I will describe our early findings about how UM students have used the dashboard\, and the relationships between dashboard use with performance and measures of self-regulation. \n\nBio: Dr. Teasley is a Research Professor in the School of Information\, the Director of the Learning Education & Design Lab (LED Lab)\, and Core Faculty member of the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) at the University of Michigan.

Whereas Barack Obama self-consciously presented himself as a candidate who just happened to be black\, and generally ran away from the topic\, we are now witnessing the startling spectacle of mainstream Democratic candidates vying to be the most progressive on issues of race. Indeed\, large percentages of white liberals now endorse a structural analysis of racial domination. For those of us old enough to remember the evasions of past electoral campaigns\, and the hegemony in the Obama years of norms of “post-raciality” and “color-blindness\,” it is a welcome and remarkable change\, one doubtless attributable to multiple factors\, from the activism of “Black Lives Matter!” on the one hand to the ominous rise of white nationalism and the alt-right on the other.\n\nBut what does philosophy have to say on this issue? After all\, philosophers in the Western tradition like to think of themselves as the go-to guys on matters of justice\, in a history that (supposedly) stretches 2500 years all the way back to ancient Greece. And since its revival half a century ago by John Rawls’s 1971 A Theory of Justice\, mainstream Anglo-American liberal political philosophy has expressly taken social justice as its central theme. Where better to seek guidance on the subject of racial justice\, then\, than in the work of political philosophers\, especially American political philosophers\, citizens of what has historically been a white supremacist state? \n\nAlas\, any such expectations would be sadly disappointed. “White” political philosophy and “white” liberalism\, including Rawls and Rawlsianism\, have generally been part of the problem rather than part of the solution. In this lecture\, I will offer some thoughts and diagnoses on the causes of this troubling history\, and some suggestions for the development of a new liberalism\, one that recognizes its historic role in the creation and consolidation of white supremacy\, and is committed\, unlike currently hegemonic varieties of liberalism\, to ending it.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

Yet in both the aging and diseased heart the relationships between cardiac work rate and concentrations of ATP\, ADP\, and inorganic phosphate are altered. Important outstanding questions are: To what extent do changes in metabolite concentrations that occur in aging and heart disease affect metabolic/molecular processes in the myocardium? How are systolic and diastolic functions affected by changes in metabolite concentrations? Does metabolic energy supply represent a limiting factor in determining physiological maximal cardiac power output and exercise capacity? Does the derangement of cardiac energetics that occurs with heart failure cause exercise intolerance?\n\nTo answer these questions\, we have developed a multi-physics multi-scale model of cardiac energy metabolism and cardiac mechanics that simulates the dependence of myocardial ATP demand on muscle dynamics and the dependence of muscle dynamics on cardiac energetics. Model simulations predict that the maximal rate at which ATP can be synthesized at free energies necessary to drive physiological mechanical function determine maximal heart rate\, cardiac output\, and cardiac power output in exercise. Furthermore\, we find that reductions in cytoplasmic adenine nucleotide\, creatine\, and phosphate pools that occur with aging impair the myocardial capacity to synthesize ATP at physiological free energy levels\, and that the resulting changes to myocardial energetic status play a causal role in contributing to reductions in maximal cardiac power output with aging. Finally\, model predictions reveal that reductions in cytoplasmic metabolite pools contribute to energetic dysfunction in heart failure\, which in turn contributes to causing systolic dysfunction in heart failure.\n\nBlueJeans Livestream Link: https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/live-event/rbuvycdc\n\n3:45 p.m. - Light Refreshments served in Forum Hall Atrium\n4:00 p.m. - Lecture in Forum Hall UID:72535-18015945@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72535 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Cardiovascular,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Human Genetics,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Mathematics,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200120T131823 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200212T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200212T180000 SUMMARY:Ceremony / Service:Sarah Goddard Power Award and Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Ceremony DESCRIPTION:February 12\, 2020 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm\nKoessler Room\, Michigan League\n\nPlease join us for the annual Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards Ceremony.\n\nThe Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards are presented by the Academic Women’s Caucus\, which was founded in its current form in 1975. Its initial charge was ” …to develop an inclusive organization of all women faculty members of the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, and Flint campuses of the University of Michigan which will serve as a forum for the exchange of information about the status of faculty women at the University and as a focus for action necessary to the investigation and resolution of their special concerns.” To this end\, the Caucus has met regularly during the academic year since 1976. It has responded to the concerns of its members by sponsoring informational and problem-solving sessions of various kinds and has provided support and a mechanism for exchange of ideas and action proposals.\n\n2020 SARAH GODDARD POWER AWARD\nSarah Goddard Power was widely acclaimed as a major contributor to the advancement of higher education\, an advocate for affirmative action and human rights\, and a champion of freedom for the international press. As a Regent of the University of Michigan for more than 12 years\, Sarah Goddard Power worked tirelessly to advance the position of women and minorities in faculty and administrative roles.\n\nRegent Sarah Goddard Power originally suggested that the Academic Women’s Caucus present awards to such individuals. In 1984\, an Awards Committee was established to select the first recipients of the Academic Women’s Caucus Awards. Thus\, it seemed appropriate that the Academic Women’s Caucus Award be renamed to honor Regent Power. In 1988\, Regent Philip H. Power graciously consented to allow the Caucus to rename its awards the Academic Women’s Caucus Sarah Goddard Power Award. In 1998\, President Lee Bollinger enabled the Award to be offered with an accompanying stipend. Each year\, nominations are selected for the Sarah Goddard Power Awards.\n\n2020 Sarah Goddard Power Award Recipients:\n\nCathleen Connell\, Professor\, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education\, is being honored for her significant achievement in addressing current challenges faced by women through distinguished leadership at the University of Michigan. Dr. Connell began her academic career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Behavior and Health Education in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan in 1989\, and rose through the ranks to become Professor in 2003. She has served in many leadership roles in her tenure at the University\, including associate and senior associate dean of academic affairs\, department and associate chair\, and directorships. “Cathleen brings true kindness\, empathy and graciousness to her leadership roles. With her attitudes and actions\, she has helped make the Department and School a place where female scholars feel comfortable and can thrive personally and professionally\,” said Mary Janevic\, Ph.D.\, MPH\, in a nominating letter. “Cathleen embodies the characteristics of an inspired leader. A patient listener\, she has an innate ability to motivate teams to institute changes\, meet goals\, and achieve success\,” Angela Beck\, Assistant Dean for Student Engagement and Practice\, School of Public Health\, wrote.\n\nAllison Steiner\, Professor\, Department of Climate and Space Science and Engineering\, has provided breakthrough contributions towards developing a diverse and inclusive workforce both at the University of Michigan and in her own scientific field at a national and international level. She receives the Sarah Goddard Power Award for her tireless advocacy towards the advancement of women in Earth Sciences worldwide\, and her leadership role in promoting equality for female faculty in the College of Engineering. Allison co-founded the Earth Science Women’s Network (ESWN)\, an international peer-mentoring network of women in the Earth Sciences\, whose mission is to promote career development\, build community\, provide opportunities for informal mentoring and support\, and facilitate professional collaborations. At the University and within the College of Engineering Steiner plays active leadership roles in a variety of programs and efforts to develop and implement strategies and plans to support diversity\, equity and inclusion. She chaired the Dean’s Advisory Committee on Female Faculty\, is a member of the CoE ADVANCE Advisory Committee and Co-Chaired last year’s NextProf Committee. “Looking through the list of the last few years Sarah Goddard Power Award winners is inspirational… Prof. Allison Steiner’s significant achievements in contributing to the betterment of current challenges faced by women through her leadership and community building roles clearly place her in the same company\,” wrote Mark Moldwin\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Professor of Space Sciences and Engineering\, in a nominating letter.\n\n2020 RHETAUGH G. DUMAS PROGRESS IN DIVERSIFYING AWARD\nThe Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award supports a long-standing vision of increasing the number of diverse women in the academy. Named after late Vice Provost Rhetaugh Dumas\, it recognizes outstanding institutional initiative in demonstrating notable progress by academic units in achieving ethnic\, racial and gender diversity among those pursuing and achieving tenure as professors\, clinical professors\, research professors\, and research scientists.\n\nRhetaugh Dumas was an esteemed leader with vision\, insight\, and wise counsel who had a major impact in the advancement of nursing\, healthcare\, and academic programs at U-M. Vice Provost Dumas was only the second African-American to hold the position of a Dean at the University of Michigan when she was appointed in 1981\, and the first African-American to be named a Dean. She was reappointed Dean of Nursing in 1986 and 1991 to second and third terms. Prior to that appointment\, she was the first woman and first nurse to serve as a deputy director of the National Institute of Mental Health. Dumas was Deputy Director\, Alcohol\, Drug Abuse\, and Mental Health Administration (1979-1981) and before that Chief\, Psychiatric Nursing Education Branch of the Division of Manpower and Training Programs (1972-1976). She was also a founding member\, a Charter Fellow\, and a former president of the American Academy of Nursing. Dumas served the University of Michigan for over 20 years with vision and a commitment to excellence.\n\n2020 Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Recipient:\nThe U-M Women’s Studies Department has been selected for the Rhetaugh Dumas Award for its continued commitment to hiring and promoting a diverse faculty. In the fall of 2019\, 50% of Women’s Studies faculty were black and/or people of color. Over the past five years\, leadership in Women’s Studies has embodied and practiced an “institutional commitment to change.” Two recent department chairs ­- Elizabeth Cole and Rosie Ceballo\, African American and Latinx\, respectively – during those five years have moved on to Assistant\, Associate\, and interim dean positions at the College of LSA. Beyond their own leadership positions\, they also made the effort to hire black women and/or women of color.

Audience Q & A follows the conversation\, as well as an opportunity to meet the artist and talk one-on-one.\n\nAbout the exhibition:\nHometown Hero (Chink): An American Interior\, by Valery Jung Estabrook\, re-creates a life-size living room sewn by hand\, suggestive of the artist’s history growing up in rural southwestern Virginia.The installation includes a custom upholstered recliner embellished with a Confederate Flag motif\, and a plush TV emanating country music karaoke sung by the artist.The exhibition challenges the notions of heritage\, Southern nationalism and “traditional” American culture\, providing a window into the tensions of being a perpetual foreigner in one’s own hometown.\n\nReflecting on her exhibition title\, Estabrook states\, “The second part of the title\, “Chink\,” is a word that is fundamentally linked to my lifelong experience as an Asian American. Yes\, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I\, unfortunately\, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”\n\nValery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation\, Florida\, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, Lagos\, Bilbao\, and Melbourne. In 2018 she received the Gold AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award\, an annual award recognizing artists of Korean heritage in the United States. She currently resides in Albuquerque and teaches experimental art at the University of New Mexico.
