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.

Her sculptural works are infused with symbolism and metaphors in the forms of cages\, nests and butterflies.

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.

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.

Parekh\, MD\, MPH\, argues that disease prevention must be our nation's top health policy priority. Building a personal culture of prevention\, he writes\, is not enough\; elected officials and policymakers must play a greater role in reducing preventable deaths. Drawing on his experiences as a clinician\, public servant\, and policy advisor\, Dr. Parekh provides examples of prevention in action from across the country\, giving readers a view into why prevention-first policies are important and how they can be accomplished. Throughout the book\, he demonstrates that\, in order to optimize health in America\, we must leverage health insurance programs to promote disease prevention\, expand primary care\, attend to the social determinants of health\, support making the healthier choice the easy choice for individuals\, and increase public health investments. Prevention First not only sounds the alarm about the terrible consequences of preventable disease but serves as a rallying cry that we can and must do better in this country to reduce preventable deaths.\n\nAnand Parekh is the Bipartisan Policy Center’s (BPC) chief medical advisor providing clinical and public health expertise across the organization\, particularly in the areas of aging\, prevention\, and global health. Prior to joining BPC\, he completed a decade of service at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. As deputy assistant secretary for health from 2008 to 2015\, he developed and implemented national initiatives focused on prevention\, wellness\, and care management. Parekh is a board-certified internal medicine physician\, a fellow of the American College of Physicians\, an adjunct assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University\, and an adjunct professor of health management and policy at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. He has spoken widely and written extensively on a variety of health topics such as chronic care management\, population health\, value in health care\, and the need for health and human services integration. A native of Michigan\, Parekh received a B.A. in political science\, an M.D.\, and an M.P.H. in health management and policy from the University of Michigan.

Despite some inconsistencies across studies\, few studies have explored the convergent\, discriminant\, and predictive validity of self-report and cognitive measures of these psychological characteristics in adolescence. The present study evaluated the convergent and discriminant validity of self-report and cognitive measures of reward sensitivity and self-regulation among 2017 adolescents (age M = 16.8\, SD = 1.1\; 56% female\; 55% White\, 22% Black\, 8% Hispanic\, 15% other race/ethnic\; 49% 10th grade and 51% 12th grade). This study compared the predictive validity of an omnibus measure and specific measures of risk engagement. Convergent and discriminant validity from self-report to cognitive tasks were as predicted\, although with weak convergent relationships. As hypothesized\, compared to cognitive tasks\, self-report measures consistently predicted risky behaviors and explained more variance in the models. These results demonstrate that while cognitive tasks can significantly predict certain risk behaviors\, they require increased power to find the very small effects\, raising questions about their use as implicit proxies for real world risk behavior.\n\nLolita Moss\n\nTitle: \nConnecting Media Use and Acceptance of Intimate Partner Violence Among Black Young Adults\n\nAbstract:\nAlthough scholars have found connections between mainstream media consumption and acceptance of intimate partner violence (IPV)\, little is known about the specific mechanisms that connect media use to endorsement of such violence. Understanding this connection is particularly relevant for Black Americans because Black women report higher rates of intimate partner violence than do White women (Al’Uqdah\, Maxwell\, & Hill\, 2016)\, and Black Americans consume more media than the general population (Rideout\, Lauricella\, & Wartella\, 2011). Accordingly\, this study tested these connections among Black adults\, investigating contributions of their consumption of movies\, music videos\, and 52 popular television programs to their acceptance of dating violence. Our survey of 369 Black young adults also tested three potential mediators using SEM: sexual objectification\, heterosexual script\, and two stereotypes about Black women\, the Sapphire and the Jezebel. Results from parallel mediation analyses indicated that heavier exposure to all three media predicted higher levels of the three mediators\, which in turn predicted greater acceptance of IPV.

Black-White Differences in Pregnancy Desire and Pregnancy DESCRIPTION:PSC Brown Bag Series presents Jennifer Barber:\n\nThis talk draws from two papers\, one that investigates whether Black and white women's desires for pregnancy are different during the transition to adulthood\, and another that investigates whether Black women who have a strong desire to postpone pregnancy are less likely to see those desires fulfilled than their white peers. The papers draw from Arline Geronimus' weathering framework and Linda Burton's ideas about uncertainty and instability in the Black community to understand Black-white differences in desires for young pregnancy\, alongside Warren Miller's Traits-Desires-Intentions-Behavior framework to understand why some women are more likely than others to get what they want in terms of childbearing. Both papers use the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life dataset\, which followed a sample of 914 young women ages 18 and 19 with weekly survey interviews for 2.5 years. The analyses also draw from 60 semi-structured interviews with a sub-sample of these women\, in which interviewers discussed the women's desires and plans for their future\, including childbearing.\n\nWe demonstrate that (1) Although young Black women are significantly more likely than young White women to express ambivalence or indifference toward a pregnancy in the near future\, those feelings are very rarely expressed by women in either group\; (2) Black women experience a smaller reduction in the risk of pregnancy when they do not desire to become pregnant compared to White women\; and (3) This Black-White disparity is in part because Black women are more likely than White women to think their intimate partner wants them to get pregnant\, which is in turn associated with less contraceptive use.\n\nOther researchers' interpretations of higher rates of undesired pregnancy among Black women as evidence that they do not want to plan their pregnancies may exacerbate racial disparities in undesired pregnancy by facilitating White women's childbearing desires more than Black women's childbearing desires. In contrast\, we conclude that it is likely that many Black women who say they want to delay pregnancy really do want to delay pregnancy\, but are unable to do so.\nBIO:\n\nJennifer Barber is Professor of Sociology and Research Professor in the Population Studies Center at University of Michigan. In Fall 2020\, she will be Professor of Sociology and Senior Scientist at the Kinsey Institute\, Indiana University. Barber's research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of family sociology\, demography\, and social psychology\, with a focus on young/teen pregnancy\, intimate relationships\, reproductive control\, and intimate partner violence. Her program of research has been continuously funded by NICHD for twenty years. She recently completed an intensive longitudinal data collection project\, the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life (RDSL) study\, which collected weekly surveys from 1\,000 18- and 19-year-old women for 2.5 years\, along with 75+ semi-structured interviews and administrative data. The RDSL focuses on the types of attitudes\, intimate relationships\, and contraceptive practices that lead to young pregnancy. Barber's work using these data integrates statistical and qualitative analyses. Her current projects focus on (1) how violent and/or demanding intimate partners derail young women's post-secondary education plans\, (2) how the dissolution of violent and non-violent intimate relationships during the transition to adulthood varies across demographic groups\, and (3) how intimate relationships shape young women's expectations and ability to control heterosexual intercourse and contraceptive use\n\nPSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

With an increase in postcolonial migrations – whether forced\, voluntary\, or in between – of individuals and communities from the Global South to the Global North\, has colonialism’s unidirectional plunder under the guise of a “civilizing mission” now given way to immigrants of color being framed as invaders\, pollutants\, and burdens on the state in order to maintain discursive hierarchies of race\, social class\, and nation? In this post/colonial era\, what\, then\, is the relationship between immigrant vulnerability and gender violence?\n\nIn the United States\, a plethora of individuals and institutions have advocated for the rights of vulnerable immigrants\, resulting in Acts such as VAWA and related remedial measures for low income victims of gender-based violence (including domestic violence and sexual assault.) What are some of the strengths and challenges of these legal mechanisms? With many citizen female victims of violence already ending up as defendants in the criminal justice system\, where does it leave vulnerable immigrant women\, especially in cases where the perpetrators are not “their” men but members of an elite white citizenry? What about the immigrant men of color\, who are already framed as violent in the nation’s political imagination? And transgender and queer immigrants - even more marginalized\, seldom talked about? In other words\, can the gender\, race\, social class\, and immigration status of victims and perpetrators of gender-based violence have an impact on legal outcomes? As the nation debates its immigration policies\, what services can local and national organizations for survivors of gender violence offer\, in more practical terms\, to immigrants and vulnerable others?\n\nThe 3 panelists of this small 2-hour symposium will address the above interdisciplinary themes in their presentations. The discussion will be followed by audience Q+&A and an Indian dinner. The event will be free and open to the public.

Since the galactic cosmic rays do not point back to their sources we must search for other clues of their origins\, and some handles on this are their energy spectra and their detailed elemental and isotopic compositions. The predecessor TIGER instrument made preliminary measurements of UHCR abundances resolving individual elements from 30Zn to 40Zr with two Antarctic flights (2001-2002\, 2003-2004) totaling ~50 days. These data support a model of galactic cosmic-ray origins with a dominant contribution from OB association massive star clusters where the source material is enhanced by the outflow and super nova ejecta of these stars (~20%)\, and in which the more refractory elements that condense into dust grains are preferentially accelerated (~4x) over the volatile ones found as gas. SuperTIGER is over four times the size of TIGER\, and with its first 55 day Antarctic flight (2012-2013) confirmed the TIGER findings through 40Zr with good statistics\, and with the inclusion of data from a second flight (2019-2020) will extend preliminary UHCR abundance measurements through around 56Ba. Our UHCR observations to date show the galactic cosmic-ray source is enhanced by massive star products over solar system (~5 billion year old ISM)\, which means this comparatively fresh sample of galactic material can shed light on which heavier elements are significant products of massive stars and their associated supernova (SN) nucleosynthesis. This could help provide constraints on models for the synthesis of heavy elements in binary neutron star mergers (BNSM)\, for which evidence has been observed in ejected material seen in optical observations following LIGO event GW170817.

Catastrophic Thinking in Science and Culture: Geo-Eschatology and the Anthropocene DESCRIPTION:The specter of extinction looms large in the late-modern Western psyche. As a cultural \"imaginary\,\" extinction is perhaps the distinctive post-WWII anxiety. Since the 1950s\, visions of nuclear annihilation\, mass famine\, environmental collapse\, biodiversity loss\, and other self-inflicted catastrophes have haunted literature\, art\, film\, popular media\, and political discourse as central preoccupations. Indeed\, one of the main imagined consequences of the ongoing climate crisis is the production of a \"Sixth Extinction\"--a collapse of biological diversity that may rival the great mass extinctions of the geological past and threaten the future of human civilization. \n\nNot coincidentally\, the second half of the 20th century also saw a dramatic revival among geologists and paleontologists of theories involving catastrophic mass extinctions as central agents in the history of life. This talk will explore the interpenetration of these scientific and cultural discourses during the 20th century. In particular\, I will argue that our current cultural fascination with the so-called Anthropocene is a direct consequence of the fusion of the geological and the eschatological meanings of extinction: extinction thinking may in fact be the bridge between the deep past and imagined future of our species and our planet. \n \nDavid Sepkoski is the Thomas M. Siebel Chair in History of Science and Professor in the Department of History at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign. He has published widely on histories of biology\, the earth and environmental sciences\, and data. His most recent book is Catastrophic Thinking: Extinction and the Value of Diversity from Darwin to the Anthropocene.

Navigating the Transition to Adulthood in the 21st Century DESCRIPTION:Abstract: What is it about twentysomethings today? Popular media portray young adults as selfish slackers who never want to grow up. Although the concept of delayed adulthood has some basis in reality\, it can be argued that an extended period of exploration might be adaptive in the 21st century. In this talk\, we will explore the impact of this slower transition to adulthood on the health and well-being of youth today as well as the diversity of their experiences as they seek to define themselves. Dr. Jodl will also offer some practical advice to parents on how to best support their young adults as they navigate the transition to adulthood.\n\nBio: Kathleen M. Jodl is the Jacquelynne S. Eccles Collegiate Lecturer of Psychology at the University of Michigan. She joined the Michigan community in 1997 after earning her doctorate in developmental psychology from the University of Virginia. Her research interests focus on family influences on adolescent development and the transition to adulthood. Over the last 10+ years\, Dr. Jodl has taught thousands of undergraduates in a wide range of courses at UM including a gateway course in developmental psychology\, social development\, and a popular seminar on emerging adulthood. She brings a wealth of hands-on experience “living the dream” as the mother of four young adults ranging in age from 15 to 21 years.

Faure’s lyrical and ultimately tragic Pelleas and Melisande is followed by Ravel’s masterpiece Daphnis and Chloe\, Suite No. 2\, which evokes the ancient myth with opulent impressionist orchestral colors played by an expanded orchestra.\n\nPROGRAM:\nKristin Kuster- Rain on It\nTanner Porter- Propellers in the Sun\nKaralyn Schubring- Piano Concerto\nFauré- Pelléas et Mélisande\nRavel- Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2 UID:69948-17485124@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69948 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200310T183039 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200224T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200224T213000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:BCG Topic Spotlight: Health Care (PhD\, MD\, JD\, postdoc) DESCRIPTION:This live\, virtual case presentation is intended for AdvancedDegree Candidates (ADCs) - PhDs\, MDs\, JDs and postdocs.

A revolutionary new minimally invasive solution was developed by a US MedTech company\, enabling doctors to replace or repair these damaged valves via a transcathether approach rather than the existing standard of care which involved open heart surgery. While the treatment was revolutionary\, and sales grew strongly\, over half of the US population were still missing out on treatment\, representing lost lives and lost opportunity. Dieter Iveson\, Project Leader from our BCG Los Angeles office\, will lead this virtual session and walk through his specific experience on a BCG client case\, where he\, alongside a team of BCG consultants\, developed a strategy grounded in big data analyses to help this client address this unmet burden of disease.
