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.

Representing concepts of time\, memory\, openness and constraint\, the pieces are created with traditional methods\, using scissors and simple die-cutting tools\; cross-disciplinary techniques\, such as weaving and tatting used in fiber arts\; and technologies like laser cutting machines. There are two series of paper nests: one created entirely without the use of adhesive\, and the other involves tatting with knots. Viewers are encouraged to contemplate\, find meaning and ultimately – hope.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

A proud Midwesterner\, she splits her time between studios in Chicago and Pentwater\, Michigan. She is recognized for her ethereal paintings and sculptural installations. Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

The landscape shrines in this exhibit combine her work as an environmental artist with the experience of that pristine\, remote\, beautiful\, and at risk environment. The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting\, monotype\, photography\, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change. Meant to bring complex ideas and big emotions into a size one can literally hold in one’s hands\, the works have charred exteriors and bright colors and metal leaf echoing traditional Tibetan iconography in depicting the beauty and spiritual power of high places. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

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

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207395@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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:68063-16988505@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:20200129T153237 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CRLT Workshop DESCRIPTION:Students interrupting instructor presentations\, challenging instructor expertise\, disrupting other students' learning during class: many instructors have experienced a rise in such behavior in recent years\, and research shows that the burdens of navigating such challenges fall disproportionately on instructors of color and white women instructors. \n\nWhat do you experience as disrespectful\, and how does this connect to your social positionalities? What practices could work best for you in preventing and responding to disrespect and disruption? In this interactive session\, participants will work in small groups to understand the range of experiences instructors have across settings and social identities at U-M. Further\, participants will engage with a range of research-based strategies for responding to student challenges to their expertise or authority\, as well as strategies for setting up a learning environment where disrespectful behavior is less likely to occur.

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.

Various properties of such solutions can be inferred by constructing auxiliary functions that satisfying suitable inequalities. The most familiar example is the construction of Lyapunov functions to infer stability of particular states\, but similar approaches can produce many other types of mathematical statements\, including for systems with chaotic or otherwise complicated behavior. Such statements include estimates of time-averaged quantities and extreme transient behavior\, approximation of nonlinear stability properties\, and design of controls. In many cases\, the search for the auxiliary function that implies the strongest mathematical statement can be posed as a convex optimization problem. Such problems can be studied analytically or computationally\, but in most cases computation is needed to find solutions that are close to optimal. Of particular use are computational methods of polynomial optimization\, where the optimization constraints include polynomial inequalities. This talk will provide an overview of different ways in which auxiliary functions can be used to study nonlinear ODEs and PDEs\, as well as how polynomial optimization can be used to implement these methods computationally. Methods will be illustrated using applications to various complex systems.

Often written using a technical vocabulary that was later largely abandoned (and is hence sometimes quite difficult to understand)\, these texts have rarely been studied systematically by modern scholars interested in Chinese religious or intellectual history. Professor Greene presents some preliminary findings from this corpus concerning the way that the earliest Chinese Buddhist translators tried to render the sophisticated Indian Buddhist vocabulary of sense perception and its relationship to desire. Both the ways that they succeeded and the ways they failed may allow us to see the presuppositions concerning these topics on both sides in this dialog in a new light.\n \nEric Greene is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Yale\, where he has taught since 2016. He received his BA (Mathematics)\, MA (Asian Studies)\, and PhD (in Buddhist Studies) from UC Berkeley\, and specializes in the history of medieval Chinese Buddhism. His research focuses on topics including Buddhist meditation in China\, Chinese Buddhist rituals of confession and atonement\, the history of Chan (Zen) Buddhism\, Buddhist image worship in China\, and the history of translation within Chinese Buddhism.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Thanks to the invisibility of carillonists and of their agency\, carillon concerts remain an uncontested musical practice on the social\, cultural\, architectural\, and sonic landscape\, while their power to construct exclusionary sonic communities functions in plain view and hearing. This work challenges the racialized and gendered boundaries that have constructed the carillon as a spatio-sonic tool for social harmony. Carillons served governments and corporations in Cold War-era technology development\, cultural diplomacy\, and corporate expansion\, and if we listen carefully\, we can hear their colonial entanglements.

In this talk\, I will show recent efforts to use light pulses at terahertz and x-ray frequencies to stimulate and track emergent dynamical properties of materials on ultrafast time scales. In the “scale-up” example\, we observed a new set of collective excitations in polar vortices\, named vortexons. A unique soft mode is identified as a pair of oscillating vortex cores that can be significantly tuned by thermal strain around room temperature. The discovery of tunable vortexons opens a new avenue for high-frequency dielectrics and optoelectronics applications. In the “scale-down” example\, I will show the distinct structural dynamics of monolayer crystals WSe2 from their bulk counterparts. We found the absorbed optical photon energy is preferably coupled to the in-plane lattice vibrations within one picosecond whereas the out-of-plane lattice vibration amplitude remains unchanged during the first ten picoseconds\, marking the distinct structural dynamics of monolayer crystals from their bulk counterparts. Looking into the future\, the recent progress of developing multimodal\, multiscale x-ray imaging platform will be discussed to go beyond the ensemble average for studying nanoscale ultrafast dynamics. \n UID:72099-17939962@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72099 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200219T145828 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop DESCRIPTION:Ethiopia in Theory\, Theory as Memoir\, Elleni Centime Zeleke\n\nIn the Invention of Africa\, Valentine Mudimbe argues that when the social scientist asks about the local in Africa she inevitably ends up situating Africa as a sign of something other than itself. For Mudimbe\, the social sciences are a paradigmatic cultural model that leaves the African social scientist with limited choices. Alternatively\, Mudimbe advises that if we document the invention of this cultural model we can demonstrate the limits of social studies in Africa as a mode of knowledge production. \nIn my talk\, I try to show how the commitment to science limited the capacity of the Ethiopian student movement of the 1960s and 1970s to describe what Mudimbe calls the ‘chose du texte’ of living and breathing Africans. By highlighting a link between the writings of the Ethiopian student movement and the social conditions of knowledge production I then try to connect the history of the west in Africa to the limitations in the writings of the student movement. This has provided me with a path towards a ‘recit pour soi’ – an account of myself as a path towards personal survival.\n Centime Zeleke received her Ph.D. from the Graduate Program in Social and Political Thought at York University (Toronto) in 2016. Her research interests include student movements in the Horn of Africa\, 20th-century state formation in Africa\, as well as comparative social and political theory.\n\nElleni’s forthcoming book is titled Ethiopia In Theory: Revolution and Knowledge Production\,1964-2016. The hardcover will be published by the Historical-Materialism Book Series at Brill in the fall of 2019. A paperback version will also be published by Haymarket Books in 2020. Ethiopia In Theory asks: what does it mean to write today about the appropriation and indigenisation of Marxist and mainstream social science ideas in an Ethiopian and African context\; and\, importantly\, what does the archive of revolutionary thought in Africa teach us about the practice of critical theory more generally?\n\nElleni’s work has also appeared in the Journal of NorthEast African Studies and Callaloo: A Journal of African Diaspora Arts and Letters.\n\nElleni teaches courses on the Horn of Africa\, African Political Thought\, Critical Theory\, and Histories of Capitalism.\n\nZeleke teaches courses on African Political Thought\, Critical Theory\, and Histories of Capitalism.

Adams\, the Ta-You Wu Collegiate Professorship in Physics\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:The fundamental constants of nature must fall within a \nrange of values in order for the universe to develop structure and\nultimately support life. This talk considers current constraints on\nthese quantities and assesses the degree of tuning required for the\nuniverse to be viable. In the realm of particle physics\, the relevant\nparameters are the strengths of the fundamental forces and the\nparticle masses. Additional astrophysical parameters include the\ncosmic energy density\, the cosmological constant\, the abundances of\nordinary matter and dark matter\, and the amplitude of primordial\ndensity fluctuations. These quantities are constrained by the\nnecessity that the universe lives for a long time\, emerges from its\nearly epochs with an acceptable chemical composition\, and successfully\nproduces galaxies. On smaller scales\, stars and planets must be able\nto form and function. The stars must have sufficiently long lifetimes\nand hot surface temperatures. We also consider potential fine-tuning\nrelated to the triple alpha reaction that produces carbon\, the case of\nunstable deuterium\, and the possibility of stable diprotons. For all\nof these issues\, the goal is to delineate the range of parameter space\nfor which universes can remain habitable. In spite of its biophilic\nproperties\, our universe is not optimized for the emergence of life\,\nin that the proper variations could result in more galaxies\, stars\,\nand potentially habitable planets.\n\nFurther Information: This collegiate professorship was named in honor\nof Ta-You Wu\, a graduate of the Michigan Physics Department and\nrecipient of an Honorary Doctor of Science from the University. He was\none of the central figures of the 20th century in both the Chinese and\nTaiwanese physics communities. Adams received his PhD at U. C.\nBerkeley\, where his advisor was Professor Frank H. Shu\, who in turn\nhas close ties to Ta-You Wu and his family. Naming this Collegiate \nProfessorship after Ta-You Wu honors Prof. Wu\, the Michigan Physics \nDepartment\, and Adams' PhD mentor (Shu).

To some extent\, the curricular content choices of the course may exacerbate this tendency by using a reductionist approach to presenting topics. While this manner of organizing content is likely important in helping emphasize foundational concepts of chemistry\, the extent to which students transfer their knowledge to new situations may be affected by this content presentation strategy. Bringing the idea of systems thinking to the general chemistry course represents a way to maintain the careful instructional tactics of foundational topics while at the same time putting them into larger\, societal contexts that assist students in using their chemistry knowledge in new situations. A key question that directs the implementation of the systems thinking pedagogical strategy for teaching is\, \"Are we considering the right boundary for this chemistry\, or do we need to connect it to larger contexts and systems?\" Examples of how planetary boundaries and systems thinking can be employed in general chemistry to expand how students view the applicability of their newly gained chemistry knowledge will be described and the results of these efforts over the past several years in chemistry classes at Iowa State will be evaluated in this presentation. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThomas Holme (Iowa State) UID:70975-17762324@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70975 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1706 chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200212T080330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Civil engineering Nth Nth-of -a-Kind advanced nuclear reactors DESCRIPTION:Nuclear energy provides approximately 20% of the nation’s electricity and is the only green heat source capable of delivering base load power at this time. Plants in the existing nuclear fleet are being retired because they cannot complete financially with natural gas and there is no carbon tax at present. The overnight capital cost for new build nuclear plants in the United States is about $12\,500 per kWe \, which has to be reduced by about a factor of five to be competitive with the price point of natural gas. Civil construction accounts for between 45% and 50% of the cost of a new build nuclear plant and so drastic reductions in these costs are needed for commercial customers to consider nuclear energy as a source of power generation. The presentation will explore the cost drivers for new build plants\, identify differences between building and nuclear construction\, describe how poor design decisions lead to dramatic increases in cost\, introduce civil civil-engineering strategies for mitigating the effects of external hazards.\n\nAndrew Wittaker is a SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Civil\, Structural and Environmental Engineering at the University of Buffalo.

At first blush\, South Korea illustrates the basic premise of modernization theory: economic development leads to democracy. However\, under Park Chung Hee (1961-1979) and Chun Doo Hwan (1980-1988)\, Korea’s political system became increasingly authoritarian alongside the growth of the national economy. These South Korean autocrats sought legitimacy of their coup-born regimes by holding legislative elections and investing in economic development. I argue and demonstrate that the structural foundations of modernization (industrial complexes and higher education in particular) had an initial stabilizing effect on authoritarian rule by increasing regime support\, but also contributed to the development of mobilizing structures for anti-regime protests in the 1970s and 1980s by various social movement groups\, most importantly workers and students. By highlighting the differential impacts of modernization structures over time\, my research shows how socioeconomic development acted as a “double-edged sword” by stabilizing the regimes at first\, but destabilizing the dictatorship over time.\n \n Dr. Joan Cho is an Assistant Professor of East Asian Studies and an Assistant Professor\, by courtesy\, of Government at Wesleyan University.
