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. 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. She currently resides in Albuquerque and teaches experimental art at the University of New Mexico.

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. He is co-founder and chief technology officer of Fondo\, a startup focused on helping young people visualize their paths into the future of work via structured serendipity and exploration. \n\nLee Marchalonis is a Lecturer in Stamps School of Art & Design and lead printer at Signal Return letterpress shop in Detroit’s Eastern Market.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Privacy is dead! Or is it? This talk will explore the darker side of social media\, smartphones\, smart speakers. How and why do these technologies track your behavior online and in your homes? What can they know about you? Why do people struggle to protect their privacy? The talk further discusses research advances that can lead to better privacy protections and user controls\, and what you can do now to take back your privacy.\n\nFlorian Schaub is Assistant Professor in the University of Michigan School of Information. His research combines privacy\, human-computer interaction\, emerging technologies\, and public policy. He studies people’s privacy decision making and behavior\, investigates technology-related privacy implications\, and develops user-centric privacy solutions that help people better manage their privacy in technology contexts. Dr. Schaub holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Ulm\, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University.\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series.

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:68063-16988495@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:20200213T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T170000 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.

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.

At this time there is no plan of rescheduling\, but please stay tuned to our website and social media pages for the latest updates. We thank you for your patience and understanding.\n\nThe silent film benshi has attracted attention for being a unique aspect of Japanese film culture. With the release of Suo Masayuki’s new feature film\, Katsuben!\, interest in the benshi will no doubt increase. This lecture will examine the history of the benshi. Special attention will be paid to its role in the immigrant communities of America\, as a point of cultural exchange in the Japan-America film relationship a century ago.\n\nIchiro Kataoka graduated from the Nihon University College of Art and began training under Midori Sawato\, in 2002. He is the most well-known benshi of his generation\, a rising star that is also the most internationally active benshi\, having given performances in countries such as Croatia\, Germany and Australia. Performing a broad repertoire of styles\, Mr. Kataoka is known for not only performing with the more “traditional” benshi accompaniment of a small ensemble or select Japanese instruments\, but also has been open to working with experimental or electronic music. He has appeared as a benshi in various films and also works as a voice actor for animation and video games.\n\nYou may also wish to attend the 7:30pm screening of \"The Downfall of Osen (Orizuru Osen).\" This silent film will be accompanied by a live benshi narration.

The T cells must integrate signals from their environment in deciding what cells to kill or to spare. This diversity can make determining exactly what is recognized during an immune response extremely challenging. My lab combines protein engineering\, combinatorial biology\, structural biology and immunology to better understand and then manipulate immune recognition. We aim to find what is recognized during the course of successful immune responses\, what antigens should be targeted in treatments and how to better design cell-based immunotherapies.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nMichael Birnbaum is an assistant professor of biological engineering at MIT. He received his bachelor's degree in chemical and physical biology from Harvard University and his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2014. There\, he worked under K. Christopher Garcia and studied the molecular mechanisms of T cell receptor recognition\, cross-reactivity and activation. After postdoctoral work in Carla Shatz’s group at Stanford\, supported by a Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral Fellowship\, Professor Birnbaum joined MIT and the Koch Institute in 2016. During his tenure at the Koch Institute\, Birnbaum has received the AACR-TESARO Career Development Award for Immuno-oncology Research\, a Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering\, and a V Scholar Grant from the Jimmy V Foundation.

It is estimated that AVs will be available on the market in the next decade. As car-parks are closed environments\, they are among the first locations to expect influenced by AVs. AVs can be stacked in multiple rows like valet parking due to their self-parking capability. To release blocked vehicles\, car-park operators relocate certain vehicles in driverless mode to create a clear pathway for cars that need to leave the facility. The problem of finding the optimal car-park layout design is investigated that minimizes relocations to fit a given number of vehicles. Results show that AV parking facilities can decrease the need for parking space by an average of 62%. The operation of AV parking facilities is also investigated\, and policies for choosing a parking spot for each vehicle are proposed based on the arrival and departure time information. AVs will not only change the car-park facilities\, but also where travelers park. AV users can exit from their vehicles and send their vehicles to park in a strategic location. AVs can park farther from destination in cheaper parking lots or cruise for the whole activity time. Results show that while the same parking price across all the locations would exacerbate the congestion by motivating more AVs to cruise\, a toll for zero- occupant AVs would decrease the congestion.\n\nSina Bahrami is a Postdoctoral fellow at University of Michigan. He received a B.S. and an M.S. in Civil Engineering from Sharif University of Technology\, and a Ph.D. from University of Toronto.

Many control and computational problems of practical interest remain unsolved due to the issues of non-convexity and complexity. The first part of this talk focuses on how to recover convexity for distributed control problems. I will present a new distributed control framework centered on the notion of sparsity invariance\, which allows deriving convex approximation/reformulation of the largest known class of distributed control problems with sparsity constraints. I will show that the notion of sparsity invariance goes beyond the well-known notion of quadratic invariance. The second part of this talk focuses on the scalability of solving large-scale convex optimization problems. In particular\, I will consider the class of semidefinite optimization problems. By exploiting the properties of chordal graphs and sparse positive semidefinite matrices\, I will present a decomposition method that can scale sparse semidefinite optimization to large-scale instances\, achieving massive scalability. The resulting algorithms have been implemented in the open-source solver: CDCS (Cone Decomposition Conic Solver). Extensions to a class of polynomial optimization\, i.e.\, sparse sum-of-squares optimization\, will be briefly discussed.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nYang Zheng received the DPhil (Ph.D.) degree in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford\, UK\, in 2019. He received the B.E. and M.S. degrees from Tsinghua University\, China\, in 2013 and 2015\, respectively. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the SEAS and CGBC at Harvard University. His research interests lie in the interface of learning\, optimization\, and control of network systems\, and their applications to cyber-physical systems\, especially autonomous vehicles and traffic systems. His work was acknowledged by several awards\, including the Best Student Paper Award Finalist at the 2019 European Control Conference\, the Best Student Paper Award at the 17th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems\, and the Best Paper Award at the 14th Intelligent Transportation Systems Asia-Pacific Forum. He is the recipient of the National Scholarship\, Outstanding Graduate in Tsinghua University\, and the Clarendon Scholarship at the University of Oxford. In 2018\, he received the ABTA Doctoral Research Award in Engineering Science\, and in 2019\, he received the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad.

However\, achieving the full promise of CAR T-cell therapy\, especially in solid tumors\, will require further advances in this form of cellular therapy. A key challenge is maintaining a sufficient pool of functional CAR T cells in vivo. We recently developed a strategy to target vaccines to lymph nodes\, by linking peptide antigens to albumin-binding phospholipid-polymers. Constitutive trafficking of albumin from blood to lymph makes it ideal chaperone to concentrate these “amphiphile-vaccine” molecules in lymph nodes that would otherwise be rapidly dispersed in the bloodstream following parenteral injection. These lipid-polymer conjugates also exhibit the property that they insert in cell membranes on arrival in lymph nodes. Here\, we generated amphiphile CAR T ligand (amph-ligand) vaccine by exploiting these dual lymph node targeting and membrane-decorating properties to repeatedly expand and rejuvenate CAR T cells through the chimeric receptor in native lymph node microenvironment. We evaluated this approach in the presence of a complete host immune system. Amph-ligand vaccine boosting triggered massive CAR T expansion\, increased donor cell polyfunctionality\, and enhanced anti-tumor efficacy in multiple immunocompetent tumor models. We demonstrate two approaches to generalize this strategy to any CAR\, enabling this simple HLA-independent vaccination approach to enhance CAR T functionality to be applied to existing CAR T cell designs. Taken together\, our amph-ligand vaccine provides a simple engineering solution to augment CAR T-cell therapy.

It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.” (Interview\, New York Review of Books\, October 26\, 1978). Arendt’s well-known revisionist account of propaganda shifted the focus away from “indoctrination” and toward the role of cynicism and quiescence in sustaining authoritarianism. If uncertainty becomes a systemic feature of our media systems\, we are likely to lose trust—in each other\, in the institutions that inform and represent us\, and\, ultimately\, in the democratic process. In the long term\, the general expectation that little of what is available online can be trusted may contribute to an attitudinal spiral that “anything goes”—a new culture of indeterminacy that may further diminish individuals’ sense of accountability for the information they share. At the elite level\, such a culture may also enable deceitful politicians to claim that nothing can be proved in a public sphere characterized by chaos\, distrust\, and cynicism. New opportunities will emerge for politicians to campaign on promises to restore “order” and “certainty” through illiberal policies curtailing free speech and other civil rights.

Clearly\, nutrient application produces a series of entangled and unintended consequences that suggests a fundamental imbalance in how we manage the planet. Interestingly\, awareness that things are not what they might seem with nutrients appeared 50 years ago in the pages of Science\, with Michael Rosenzweig’s seminal paper on the “Paradox of Enrichment “. Here\, pushed by recent empirical findings of ecosystem imbalance occurring on the landscape we revisit Rosenzweig’s paradox of enrichment results from a more wholistic food web perspective and a large spatial perspective (meta-ecosystems). While many have argued against any empirical evidence for Rosenzweig’s paradox of enrichment in nature\, when we broaden his work to include multiple types of instability in space we find that spatial food web theory suggests we expect to find ecosystem imbalances often at great distances from the local source of nutrient enrichment given natures vast transport systems (e.g.\, stream\, rivers\, oceanic currents\, wind\, mass migration events). The results also suggest an analog to network food web theory that stabilization of these large spatially distant ecosystem imbalances can occur by muting key spatial pathways of nutrient transport in meta-ecosystems.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/5JPKQndjmjY UID:69042-17220023@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69042 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200228T123033 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T173000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Global Health Strategies Information Session DESCRIPTION:Join the team at Global Health Strategies to learn more about the global health landscape and the impact that a career in communicationsand advocacy can have on health and well-being around the world.

In particular\, it draws from her in-progress book At the Sea’s Edge that considers the oceanic not only as an archive of coloniality\, and a receptacle and spectacle of planetary ruins\, but as a dynamic life force and historical shaper in relation to the forces of racial and extractive capitalism. Thinking with submerged perspectives primarily in the trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic\, Gómez-Barris expands upon Kamau Brathwaite’s concept of tidealectics as key to understanding how to move within and beyond the colonial anthropocene.

At molecular and cellular length scales\, our research focuses on understanding how Gram-negative bacterial pathogens inject effector proteins into the cytosol of eukaryotic host cells using the Type 3 Secretion System (T3SS) – a 7 MDa multi-protein complex that spans two\, and sometimes three cellular membranes. Type 3 secretion is a major virulence mechanism used by prominent bacterial pathogens that results in more than 1 million human deaths each year. At cellular and super-cellular length scales\, our research focuses on visualizing the behaviors of individual bacteria inside tissue-like microbial communities\, called biofilms. As a major component of bacterial biomass on earth\, biofilms have substantial impacts on the biogeochemistry of our planet and on the biochemistry of higher living organisms.\nIn the first part of my talk\, I will describe how single-molecule localization and tracking microscopy in different genetic backgrounds provides a path towards investigating the molecular mechanism(s) of type 3 secretion in living cells. Through computational aberration correction and numerical modeling\, we determine the 3D subcellular localization and diffusive states of individual\, fluorescently labeled T3SS proteins. Our results to date indicate that T3SS proteins pre-assemble into freely diffusing cytosolic complexes prior to binding to the membrane-spanning multi-protein complex. Determining to what extent cytosolic proteins assemble with each other in living cells provides key insights into the dynamic regulatory network that controls type 3 secretion. \nIn the second part of my talk\, I will describe how lattice light-sheet microscopy enables non-invasive 3D imaging of microbial biofilms at single-cell resolution. Analyzing the resulting 3D images using a combination of computer vision and machine learning approaches enables multi-cell tracking of cell motions\, cell morphologies\, and cellular gene expression over time. Our goal now is to apply these new imaging and image analysis approaches to understand the emerging functional capabilities of bacterial biofilms in terms of the behavioral phenotypes of individual cells. Such knowledge can help inform new strategies for controlling biofilm growth and harness the metabolic potential of the microbial world in biotechnological applications. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAndreas Gahlmann (University of Virginia) UID:65267-16559497@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65267 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200121T144344 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CoderSpace with Yuki Shiraito and Jule Krüger DESCRIPTION:Do you write code for research or class?

The same territory is at once imagined and claimed by disparate yet overlapping groups in often mutually exclusive ways as Western Armenia\, Eastern Turkey\, and Northern Kurdistan. This geography has been home to many peoples over centuries\, including Armenians until the 1915 Catastrophe decimated the Ottoman Armenian community and scattered its survivors across the world\, where they founded new homes in the diaspora.\n\n As a result of the rupture of 1915\, the Armenian Diaspora came into intimate contact with other communities across the globe. At the same time\, on the ancestral lands of the exiled Western Armenians\, the material and immaterial remnants of their community live on\, animated by the memories and narratives recounted by the muslim Kurds\, Turks\, and Arabs who continue to live there. Taken together\, these constitute two asymmetrically mirroring spaces in which afterlives of Western Armenia continue to develop in dynamic relationships with contemporary political and social processes. What are the afterlives of these histories\, communities\, and trajectories bound up in the notion of Western Armenia? What are the ongoing effects of the 1915 Genocide of Ottoman Armenians\, both in the geography where the mass killing and expropriation took place a century ago and in the diasporic communities where Armenians continue to live today? How are histories of violence and exile inscribed both on the landscape through ruins and in the memories of local communities? And how are they reinterpreted and expressed through literature\, art\, and language?\n\nCosponsors: College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; Departments of Anthropology\, Comparative Literature\, and History\; Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\; Global Islamic Studies Center\; Global Theories of Critique\; and Institute for the Humanities. \n\nImage: “Cooling Towers\,” 2006\, oil on canvas\, 6’x6’ by Hrayr Anmahouni Eulmessekian.

While the chemical and physical aspects of depression and other mental health disorders are far more complex than just feeling down\, current research supports a cognitive approach as a way to change patterns of brain functioning and build resilience in people struggling with chronic depression.\nThe program uses a combination of cognitive therapy and mindfulness to help participants form new\, healthier modes of thought. MBCT initiates a cognitive change that helps clients move past events that have the potential to trigger relapse. Participants learn how to view their thoughts without judgment.\nMBCT is about equipping participants with the ability to regulate one’s own thoughts and moods and to put new skills into practice in the way they are most useful to each client. MBCT helps flip the script in a way\, empowering participants\, helping them step into a well-fortified position and giving them the tools and the knowledge to help themselves at any stage of life.\nThe next session is scheduled to begin January 23\, 2020 and runs for eight weeks. Participants will meet weekly\, on Thursdays from 5-7:30 p.m. \nIf you are interested in attending or referring a potential group participant\, please contact the Psychological Clinic to begin the process. Call (734) 764-3471 and leave a message with the best time to reach you and we will be in touch within one to two business days to schedule a screening.

They live together in Meiji-era Tokyo\, and Osen’s love drives her to pay Sokichi’s way through medical school\, finally turning to secret streetwalking on his behalf. Told in an elaborate flashback structure\, The Downfall of Osen has been singled out as a transitional film that bridges director Kenji Mizoguchi’s early and middle periods\, as well as the silent and sound eras.\n\nCinematographer: Shigeto Miki. Miki was Mizoguchi’s cameraman for all of his 1930s films. Miki started his career in 1916\, when he shot his first film at the age of 14! After working for Mizoguchi for years\, he was Makino Masahiro’s cameraman for the 40s through 60s.\n\nThis silent movie will be accompanied by a live benshi. At the birth of cinema\, lecturers always accompanied silent films\, but as films became complex enough to tell stories the lecturers disappeared – except in Japan. Silent films in Japan (and its colonies) had both live music and a benshi\, who would stand to the left of the screen imitating voices and providing spectacular narration. The live benshi performer will be Kataoka Ichiro\, Japan’s premiere benshi. Ichiro was in Ann Arbor for a season of silent Ozu some years ago\, and tonight he will narrate Mizoguchi’s classic film.\n\nRead more about the film\, including ratings\, at the IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0026830/\n\nFull series details and film trailers here: https://www.michtheater.org/cinematography/ UID:71367-17819284@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71367 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Film,japaneses studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191220T105834 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T230000 SUMMARY:Performance:Brad Phillips & The Roots Music Strings DESCRIPTION:Brad Phillips is a multi-instrumentalist from southeast Michigan.
