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.

Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur\, author\, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin\, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household\; his adoptive family is Jewish\, his biological mother is Irish Catholic\, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness.

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.

These problems carry extremely high social\,psychological\, and economic costs for individuals\, families\, communities andsociety at large. Although substance use is common among adolescents and youngadults\, there are substantial individual differences in susceptibility to substanceuse problems. Why do some adolescents show persistent substance use problemsacross the transition to early adulthood\, whereas others show decliningpatterns of use? Currently\, there are significant gaps in our understanding ofhow adverse experiences in early childhood may become translated into latersubstance use problems\, an issue that has strong relevance for prevention.Using new data from our 17-year prospectivelongitudinal study\, we tested the hypothesis that individual differences in theseverity of ATOD among emerging adults may reflect complex transactions betweenchildren’s adverse social experiences and regulatory vulnerabilities that beginin the early preschool years.

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.

According to Transparency International\, Armenian Corruption Perception Index has increased by 7 points and the rank has improved by 28 positions in 2019 compared to 2018. What were the social and economic factors keeping the high level of corruption in the country? Recent empirical studies have predominantly looked at antecedents of corruption from a macro level. Based on the analysis of three datasets comprising of individual-level surveys taken over a three-year period in Armenia\, the study argues that social norms\, personal wealth\, and the high reliability of corrupt transactions impact an individual’s decision to be involved in corruption. \n\nLunch will be served. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nAram Simonyan is Associate Professor of Economics at the International Scientific Educational Centre of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia\, where he has been working in the capacity of Associate Chair of Economics and Management Department. His main research focuses on anti-corruption strategies in European countries from a socio-economic perspective. Advanced in eight languages\, he held visiting positions at multiple European Universities. Now he is getting his second PhD in Sociology at the University of Kiel.\nDr. Simonyan was a Weiser Professional Fellow at the Gerald Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan in 2018\, and is a visiting Fulbright Scholar at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan in 2019-2020.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nInfants and toddlers learn language through dynamic\, reciprocal interactions with their caregivers. Often\, language development is studied using tasks that seem far from the engaging\, natural context of the child’s everyday world. This is typically even more true of studies that examine the brain\, because our brain imaging technologies like MRI and EEG typically require one person to engage in a repetitive task in front of a screen\, with restricted motion. In this talk\, I describe our work that aims assess language and brain measures in children with or at-risk for language disorders using innovative naturalistic\, dyadic behavior and brain measures. One line of research uses a multi-dimensional approach to assess risk for later language disorder in late-talking children\, including assessing irritability (a key indicator of later mental health risk)\, parent-child interaction\, and the child’s brain and parent-child brain synchrony in the lab. Our EEG measures of the brain are collected from both toddlers and their mothers while they interact naturally\, during activities such as watching a movie or completing a puzzle together. We use a micro-coding approach to identify different behavioral states and compare features of the child’s brain (such as EEG power in bands of interest) and similarity or synchrony between the child and parent’s brain (inter-brain power correlation and phase locking) across these states. We also assess children longitudinally via videochat\, recording the parent and child at home\, to enable additional timepoints of data while minimizing participant burden. A second project compares these brain measures in toddlers with autism and parents with the broader autism phenotype (sub-clinical autism-like symptoms). Together\, these studies highlight the challenges and promises of using dyadic methods to give a more complete picture of a child’s language development.\n\n\nBio: \nElizabeth Norton is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Northwestern University\, where she directs the Language\, Education and Reading Neuroscience (or “LEARN”) Lab. Her research combines behavioral and brain measures and seeks to understand typical development as well as reading\, language\, and neurodevelopmental disorders. She currently leads two NIH-funded research projects investigating early brain and behavior atypicalities and markers of prognosis in children with language delay or autism spectrum disorder. As a former high school teacher for students with dyslexia\, she is particularly interested in understanding individual differences and working toward early identification and intervention for language and reading disabilities. Norton obtained her B.A. in Language and Brain Development at Dartmouth College\, her Ph.D. at Tufts University in Child Study and Human Development\, and postdoctoral training in the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT.\n\nVisit sponsors: Department of Psychology Developmental Area\, Combined Program in Education & Psychology\, Language & Literacy Laboratory (Director: Ioulia Kovelman\, Psychology) UID:69690-17382658@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69690 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:brown bag LOCATION:East Hall - 4464 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200127T181713 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Diversity at Work: Google Shares Inclusive Practices DESCRIPTION:Diversity at Work is an ongoing series of workshops hosted by Rackham’s Professional Development DEI Certificate Program where participants can hear from real employees and employers about how they are incorporating diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and social justice efforts in their organizations.\nDiversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (DEI) aptitude continues to be a highly sought out asset among employers\, both within and outside of academe.

DESCRIPTION: \nAs a result of controls on NOx emissions from cars\, trucks\, and electricity production\, NOx levels (sum on NO and NO2) have decreased rapidly across North America over the past decades. The reductions in NO alter the photochemical pathways in the oxidation of numerous chemicals emitted from the biosphere and from anthropogenic activities. The gas phase chemistry in the low NO regime has received significantly less attention from atmospheric chemists. Here\, I describe new analytical methods to probe the low NOx chemistry in the field and in the laboratory. New chemical pathways are identified illustrating that great care must be taken in extrapolating of existing photochemical models to the low NOx atmosphere. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nPaul Wennberg (California Institute of Technology) UID:64491-16374909@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64491 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200318T092027 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:CANCELED - Pre-Law 101 Information Session DESCRIPTION:***CANCELED***\n\nStudents beginning to explore the possibility of attending law school and those committed to applying in the future are encouraged to attend.\n\nJanuary 29th\, 4PM - 5PM - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room)\n\nFebruary 17th\, 4PM - 5PM - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room) - Transfer Student session\, but all are welcome to attend\n\nMarch 20th\, 12PM - 1PM - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room) UID:71229-17791931@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71229 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Pre-Law LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200207T130421 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Framingham Heart Study: Fundamental Concepts of Cardiovascular Disease Risk DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary Speaker Series - Developmental Origins of Health & Disease: Evolutionary & Epidemiological Approaches - Presented by the Evolution and Human Adaptation Program & The Research Center for Group Dynamics UID:72466-18009371@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72466 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Talk LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200217T181652 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Better Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay through Biochemistry DESCRIPTION:The goal of future neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is to establish whether neutrino is its own antiparticle\, by searching for an ultra-rare decay process with a half life that may be more than 10^27 years.

ToxiCity: Practices of Living Anthropogenic Seas DESCRIPTION:How might we think about and address the kinds of life that emerge in the wastescapes of cities? In this talk I attend to the social and natural life of Mumbai’s anthropogenic sea. Today\, Mumbai’s sea is an uneasy gathering of urban\, climactic and agrarian processes. As sewage\, fish\, birds\, coral\, and algae interact in dynamic relations\, how are fishers\, amateur naturalists and scientists negotiating the ambivalent ecologies of the Anthroposea. By attending to their practices\, this talk explores emergent ways of thinking\, knowing and acting in muddy waters.\n\nBio: Nikhil Anand is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the political ecology of cities\, read through the different lives of water. His award winning book\, Hydraulic City\, focuses on the everyday ways in which cities and citizens are made through the everyday management of water infrastructure in Mumbai. With Hannah Appel and Akhil Gupta\, Dr. Anand is also co-editor of The Promise of Infrastructure\, which focuses on how infrastructure provides a generative ground to theorize time and politics. Dr. Anand's new research project\, The Urban Sea\, attends to the ways coastal cities are actively constituted through social and natural relationships with the sea.

It delves deep into the most contentious debates and uncovers the hidden intentions of the supporters and detractors of comfort women. Most importantly it finds answers to some of the biggest questions for Japanese and Koreans: Were comfort women prostitutes or sex slaves? Were they coercively recruited? And\, does Japan have a legal responsibility to apologize to the former comfort women?\n \n The “comfort women” issue is perhaps Japan’s most contentious present-day diplomatic quandary. Inside Japan\, the issue is dividing the country across clear ideological lines. Supporters and detractors of “comfort women” are caught in a relentless battle over empirical evidence\, the validity of oral testimony\, the number of victims\, the meaning of sexual slavery\, and the definition of coercive recruitment. Credibility\, legitimacy and influence serve as the rallying cry for all those involved in the battle. In addition\, this largely domestic battleground has been shifted to the international arena\, commanding the participation of various state and non-state actors and institutions from all over the world.\n\nAbout the Director: Miki Dezaki is a Japanese-American director and graduate of the Graduate Program in Global Studies at Sophia University in Tokyo. He worked for the Japan Exchange Teaching Program for five years in Yamanashi and Okinawa before becoming a Buddhist monk in Thailand for one year. He is also known as “Medamasensei” on Youtube\, where he has made comedy videos and videos on social issues in Japan. His most notable video is “Racism in Japan\,” which led to numerous online attacks by Japanese neo-nationalists who attempted to deny the existence of racism and discrimination against Zainichi Koreans (Koreans with permanent residency in Japan) and Burakumin (historical outcasts still discriminated today). Shusenjo is his directorial debut.\n\nPresented in Japanese\, Korean and English with English subtitles.\n\nJoin us for a post-film discussion with the film’s director\, Miki Dezaki.\n \n“A Filmmaker Explored Japan’s Wartime Enslavement of Women.
