In this exhibition\, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement. \n\nSince June\, protests have been ongoing in Hong King\, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations\, over two million Hongkongers\, which is more than a quarter of the population\, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill\, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement. \n\nAfter 2/12\, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

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.

Zimmerman DESCRIPTION:Department of Biomedical Engineering Final Oral Examination\n \nLauren L. Zimmerman\n \nInvestigating Neuromodulation as a Treatment for Female Sexual Dysfunction\n \nFemale sexual dysfunction (FSD) affects millions of women worldwide. FSD has a significant impact on quality of life and interpersonal relationships. The prevalence of at least one form of sexual dysfunction is 40-45% of adult women with 12% of women experiencing sexually related personal distress\, yet there is no clear treatment option for a wide range of FSD deficits with high efficacy and low side effects.\n \nNeuromodulation techniques using electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves have the potential to treat some forms of FSD. In clinical trials of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) and percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for bladder dysfunction\, women have reported that their sexual dysfunction symptoms improved as well. Even though this effect has been observed clinically\, very little research has been done to examine the mechanisms or the optimal method of treatment specifically for women with FSD. This thesis aims to bridge that gap by investigating neuromodulation as a treatment for FSD through both preclinical and clinical studies.\n \nThe first aim of this thesis is to investigate a possible mechanism of the improvement to sexual functioning in response to tibial nerve stimulation by evaluating vaginal blood flow responses in rats. In 16 ketamine-anesthetized female rats\, the tibial nerve was stimulated for 30 minutes while vaginal blood perfusion was recorded with laser Doppler flowmetry. A novel signal analysis and quantification metric was developed for this analysis. I found that tibial nerve stimulation could drive prolonged increases in vaginal blood perfusion\, typically after 20-30 minutes of stimulation. This result suggests that clinical neuromodulation may be improving FSD symptoms by increasing genital blood flow.\n \nOne question yet to be investigated by neuromodulation studies is whether tibial nerve stimulation could be an on-demand treatment for FSD\, such as Viagra is for men\, or is more appropriate as a long-term treatment with improvements over time\, such as PTNS for bladder dysfunction. In this thesis I address this question by evaluating the sexual motivation and receptivity of female rats both immediately after a single stimulation session as well as after long-term\, repeated stimulation sessions. I found that tibial nerve stimulation led to modest increases in sexual motivation in the short term\, and larger increases in sexual receptivity in the long-term.\n \nLastly\, this thesis evaluates a pilot clinical study of transcutaneous stimulation of the dorsal genital and posterior tibial nerves in nine women with FSD. The women received stimulation once a week for 12 weeks and their sexual functioning was measured using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) at baseline\, after 6 weeks of stimulation\, after 12 weeks of stimulation\, and at 18 weeks (6 weeks after the last stimulation session). The average total FSFI score across all subjects significantly increased from baseline to each of the time points in the study. Significant FSFI increases were seen in the sub-domains of lubrication\, arousal\, and orgasm\, each of which is related to genital arousal.\n \nThis thesis provides evidence that peripheral neuromodulation can be an effective treatment for FSD. The stimulation is likely driving increases in genital blood flow\, with greater effects observed when stimulation is repeatedly applied over time. This treatment has the potential to help millions of women worldwide.

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.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms and morphogenetic events underlying human neurulation is important for the prevention and treatment of neural tube defects (NTDs) and neurodevelopmental disorders. However\, animal models are limited in revealing many fundamental aspects of neurulation that are unique to human CNS development. Furthermore\, the technical difficulty and ethical constraint in accessing neurulation-stage human embryos have significantly limited experimental investigations of early human CNS development.\n I leveraged the developmental potential and self-organizing property of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in conjunction with 2D and 3D bioengineering tools to achieve the development of spatially patterned multicellular tissues that mimic certain aspects of human neurulation\, including neuroectoderm patterning and dorsal-ventral (DV) patterning of NT. \n In the first section\, I report a micropatterned hPSC-based neuroectoderm model\, wherein pre-patterned geometrical confinement induces emergent patterning of neuroepithelial (NE) and neural plate border (NPB) cells\, mimicking neuroectoderm patterning during early neurulation. My data support the hypothesis that in this hPS cell-based neuroectoderm patterning model\, two tissue-scale morphogenetic signals\, cell shape and cytoskeletal contractile force\, instruct NE / NPB patterning via BMP-SMAD signaling. This work provides evidence of tissue mechanics-guided neuroectoderm patterning and establishes a tractable model to study signaling crosstalk involving both biophysical and biochemical determinants in neuroectoderm patterning.\n In the second section\, I report a human NT development model\, in which NT-like tissues\, termed NE cysts\, are generated in a bioengineered neurogenic environment through self-organization of hPSCs. DV patterning of NE cysts is achieved using retinoic acid and/or Sonic Hedgehog\, featuring sequential emergence of the ventral floor plate\, p3 and pMN domains in discrete\, adjacent regions and dorsal territory that is progressively restricted to the opposite dorsal pole.

In his talk\, Bachmann will be exploring some aspects of that history\, drawing from his current research on James Boggs and Charles Denby\, two black labor activists from Detroit. In the early 1960s\, Boggs and Denby published insightful articles about the impact of automation and cybernation on the workers in Detroit's automobile plants and beyond. By teasing out some of the main ideas of their works\, Richard will show that Boggs and Denby still have a lot to contribute to current discussions of the future of work. \n\nRichard Bachmann is a first-year graduate student in the Department of History at U-M and a fellow of the Science\, Technology\, and Society Graduate Certificate Program. His current research focuses on the 1950s/60s debates in the U.S. and Europe about the repercussions of automation and cybernation for the labor market and society. Richard received both his B.A. (2012) and M.A. (2016) in American Studies from Leipzig University\, Germany\, and spent two semesters at Ohio University's Global Leadership Center in 2011 as a B.A. Plus Fellow.

In previous studies\, to evaluate maneuver challenge of a scenario\, surrogate models (SMs) are often used without explicit knowledge of the CAV under test. However\, performance dissimilarities between the SM and the CAV under test usually exist\, and it can lead to the generation of suboptimal library. In this work\, an adaptive testing scenario library generation method is proposed to solve this problem based on Bayesian optimization. A customized testing scenario library for a specific CAV model will be generated as the result of the adaptive process. Compared with a pre-determined library\, a CAV can be tested and evaluated in a more efficient manner with the customized library. To validate the proposed method\, a cut-in and a highway exit case are studied for safety and functionality evaluation respectively. For both two cases\, the proposed method can further accelerate the evaluation process by a few orders of magnitudes.\n\nShuo Feng is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan.

The groundbreaking ethnographic study brings our attention to the full arc of these men’s migration experiences\, from their upbringing in Mexican cities and towns\, to their cross-border journeys\, to their incorporation into urban gay communities in American cities\, and their sexual and romantic relationships with American men. These men’s diverse and fascinating stories demonstrate the intertwining of sexual\, economic\, and familial motivations for migration.\n\nProfessor Carrillo is the author of two books: The Night Is Young: Sexuality in Mexico in the Time of AIDS (University of Chicago Press\, 2002)\, and Pathways of Desire: The Sexual Migration of Mexican Gay Men (University of Chicago Press\, 2017). His current research investigates the sexualities of straight-identified men who are sexually interested in both women and men\, as part of a larger project on the paradoxes of sexual identity as a social construction.\n\nCarrillo serves as a member of the editorial boards of Sexuality Research and Social Policy\, and Sexualidad\, Salud y Sociedad: Revista Latinoamericana. He is a past chair of the Sociology of Sexualities Section of the American Sociological Association\, and he served as co-chair of the Social\, Behavioral\, and Economic Science track of the XVII International AIDS Conference.

Such investigation\, however\, requires a tool that can capture biological structures and their molecular constituents across multiple orders of magnitude—from nanometers to centimeters—in length. Electron microscopy offers nanoscopic resolution but lacks molecular information to differentiate endogenous biomolecules as well as imaging speed to cover millimeter-scale specimens. Light microscopy provides molecular contrast but is limited by optical diffraction and the tradeoff between imaging speed and photobleaching.\n \nIn this talk\, I will first introduce an optical imaging pipeline named expansion lattice light-sheet microscopy (ExLLSM) and its application to multiplexed\, volumetric imaging of molecular constituents in cells and intact tissues. Using ExLLSM\, our study has revealed molecular-specific structures of organelles\, synapses\, myelin sheaths\, and neurites in rodent and insect brains at ∼60 by 60 by 90 nm effective resolution across dimensions that span millimeters. Next\, I will present two recently developed methods that further extend the resolution and throughput of ExLLSM: (1) a non-radical hydrogel chemistry that forms a homogenous polymer network and physically separates biomolecules or fluorescent labels up to 40-fold linearly\, and (2) a multi-modal optical microscopy that enables rapid\, high-resolution imaging of both expanded and live tissues. Lastly\, I will discuss the significance of these imaging methods in the context of microanatomy and functional omics.

The strong shock wave\, generated ahead of the vehicle\, superheats the air to thousands of degrees and partially dissociates the air into atomic oxygen and nitrogen. Surrounded by this high-temperature shock layer\, the vehicle heat shield experiences large heating rates and must simultaneously withstand high temperatures and intense surface chemistry driven by reactive atomic species. Furthermore\, as the shock-heated gas flows around the vehicle\, the flow can transition from smooth laminar flow to chaotic turbulent flow and can form complex shock interactions near control surfaces. Predicting such effects requires understanding the interplay between fluid dynamics\, thermodynamics\, and chemical kinetics\; a research field referred to as aerothermodynamics.\n\nIn this talk\, I will focus mainly on our current understanding of the high-temperature shock layer. I will explain how we have reached the point where this thin shock layer (often on the order of one centimeter thick) can be studied at the scale of individual molecular collisions. In fact\, simulations can now be performed where the only model input consists of the forces between atoms as dictated entirely by quantum chemistry. I will present results from such first-principles simulations along with comparison to experimental shock-tube data\, and I will discuss some of the new physical insights gained. I will conclude the talk by highlighting the next big challenge of pursuing molecular understanding for gas-material interactions. This is an exciting field driven not only by NASA and the Department of Defense\, but also by commercial endeavors to field satellite mega-constellations in low Earth orbit.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nTom Schwartzentruber received his Bachelor’s degree in engineering science and his Master’s degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Toronto. He then received his doctorate degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan. For his doctorate work he received the AIAA Orville and Wilbur Wright graduate award. He joined the faculty in the Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics department at the University of Minnesota in 2008\, after which he received a Young Investigator Program Award from the AFOSR and the University of Minnesota Taylor Career Development Award for exceptional contributions by a candidate for tenure. He specializes in particle simulation methods such as direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and molecular dynamics (MD)\, including coupling such methods with each other and with continuum computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. Currently\, his research group is involved in a number of projects spanning hypersonic nonequilibrium reacting flows\, high-temperature gas-surface interactions\, hybrid particle-continuum methods\, and micro-scale flows.

How have societies accorded value to those who undertake this potentially lifesaving work? By situating breastfeeding within the historiography of carework\, this talk will address these questions\, examining efforts directed at breastfeeding\, wet nursing\, and human milk donation in Brazil in the first half of the twentieth century. If Brazilian health officials in this period agreed that human milk was critical for infant survival\, they did not see the efforts of all nursing women as equally valuable. Meanwhile many nursing women challenged these ideas\, demanding recognition of their contributions.\n\nVictoria Langland is Associate Professor in the Departments of History and Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan. She is the author of Speaking of Flowers: Student Movements and the Making and Remembering of 1968 in Military Brazil (Duke University Press\, 2013) and the co-editor of The Brazil Reader: History\, Culture\, Politics\, 2nd edition\, (Duke University Press\, 2019)\, and Monumentos\, Memoriales y Marcas Territoriales (Siglo XXI\, 2003).

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.

Director Seijun Suzuki’s onslaught of stylized violence and trippy colors is equal parts Russ Meyer\, Samuel Fuller\, and Nagisa Oshima—an anything-goes\, in-your-face rampage. Tokyo Drifter is a delirious highlight of the brilliantly excessive Japanese cinema of the sixties.\n\nCinematographer: Shigeyoshi Mine\n\nRead more about the film\, including ratings\, at the IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061101/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\n\nFull series details and film trailers here: https://www.michtheater.org/cinematography/ UID:70767-17642239@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70767 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Film,Japanese Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200207T151656 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200220T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200220T210000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MAS Lecture | Bill Monaghan's Squash Seed DESCRIPTION:This talk focuses on a single domesticated squash seed recovered from a deep trench dug during work in Windmill Park\, south of Detroit.

He had worked closely with Dr. Lovis on a number of projects\, providing expertise in sediment formation processes. His knowledge contributed to an understanding of how the lifeways of prehistoric peoples changed the landscape as reflected in archaeological sites and surrounding remnants of their activities.\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society.\nTo learn more about the MAS\, please visit http://www.miarch.org/\n\nMAS lectures are free and open to the public.

By “colliding” the cornerstone of classic text with African-American musical genres\, McElroy (with collaboration from a group of incredibly diverse Musical Theatre students) creates a new musical work that delves into the heart of the human experience--how we’ve grown\, and spaces where we can still explore change.\n\n“We are in a space and a time right now where we are so fractured\,” says McElroy. “What theatre has to do right now more than ever is to fill that void. People can come together to grapple with what they believe without feeling judged or confronted. Theater and music help us to explore the ways in which we are different but more importantly how at our core very much the same. How is Shakespeare's investigation of humanity in the 1600’s the same as what we grapple with today?”\n\nTo answer that question\, McElroy commissioned musical responses to Shakespeare’s sonnets and soliloquies from peers including Daniel Watts (Ike Turner from Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner Musical)\, Julianne Wick Davis (Jonathan Larson Award Winner)\, Crystal Monee Hall (Rent)\, Celisse Henderson (Godspell) Marcus Paul James (Ain’t Too Proud) and Allen Louis. Some musical responses include lines directly from Shakespeare’s text\; some\, like a Blues piece that’s the antithesis of the sonnet to which it responds\, turn the traditional language on its head. Original text interweaves with Shakespearean sonnets\, soliloquies\, and new musical works\, creating a song-cycle that highlights the throughlines of love\, loss\, hate\, time\, age\, and jealousy that tie us together.\n\n*This show was originally announced with the working title Being Alive.

Her husband of two years\, Juan\, whom she married to please her father and not for love\, has been unable to give her the child she desires. Tormented\, Yerma seeks advice from an older woman in the town who tells her of a pilgrimage many barren young women take to help them get pregnant. A provoking and heart-rending story\, Yerma lays bare society’s expectations through one woman’s struggles between honor and conformity\, passion\, and duty.
