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.

She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity\, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic\, assertive and joyful\, discerning and full of possibility.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South 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.

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:68063-16988507@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T181705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cullen Washington\, Jr.: The Public Square DESCRIPTION:This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington\, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series\, Agoras.

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.

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Can such geometric incompatibilities be used for the rational design and control of wrinkle patterns at will? In this talk\, we discuss the possibility of designing wrinkle patterns \"in the large\" using a recently derived effective or coarse-grained model for wrinkles arising in the vanishing thickness limit. After explaining the basic mechanics involved\, we show how the model predicts the patterns in various experiments and simulations of thin and ultrathin confined elastic shells. More generally\, we derive a classification scheme for wrinkle patterns into three basic types\, as well as a Plateau-like principle predicting the arrangement of wrinkles in the negatively-curved (saddle-shaped) case. Such rules open the way towards the principled design of wrinkle patterns\, with potential applications ranging from flexible electronics to synthetic skins.\n\nThis is joint work with Yousra Timounay and Eleni Katifori (UPenn)\, and Desislava Todorova and Joseph D.

The text subverts the reliability of visual cues for identification\, dissociating the reincarnating being from its physical shell in a way that resembles the relationship between an actor and a role. Hamamatsu also de-emphasizes one’s agency in the karmic cycle\, instead portraying it as an inevitable unfolding of narrative along predetermined paths\, much like a script for a play. Through the presentation of reincarnation in these theatrical terms\, the text produces a dimensional\, layered subjecthood.\n \nTerry Kawashima is Professor of Asian Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston.

Respectful Listening – Meaningful Actions DESCRIPTION:The workshop is from 2-3:30\, followed by a networking reception until 4:00.\n\nThe concept of Rematriation as Reconciliation is simple. It is the return of living seeds to their Community of Origin. But issues of trust soon emerge. Who is involved in conceptually framing and prioritizing critical thought and action? Who/what Community Members have both standing and agency to be engaged—ethically\, spiritually\, and legally? Who speaks for Indigenous Nation’s seeds in museum diaspora? What is “listening” when contributing parties’ paradigms of reality are not fully congruent?\n\nThis workshop\, co-led by Tribal Partner Mede (Elder) Shannon Martin\, will address deep listening skills as a key to trust-building. Shannon is the Director of the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture & Lifeways in Mount Pleasant\, Michigan. The Heritage Seeds Project and how it grew into the Indigenous Collaborative Garden will be one trust-building example. The challenges of deep listening from an academic perspective are real. Participants should become aware that Reconciliation is about fundamental change – in one’s self.\n\nDr. David C. Michener is the curator at the U-M Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum. Best known to the public for his co-authored book Peony\, which made the New York Times 2018 Summer Reading List\, his research addresses understanding the complex cross-cultural heritages of ornamental peonies and conserving key living specimens. He has an active program in molecular-evidence of peony relationships with colleagues and students here at U-M and in Belarus. His work with Indigenous Seeds in museum collections is an unanticipated intersection of deep engagement with U-M’s Museum Studies Program (Rackham Graduate School) and an ethical concern with the ‘Voice’ of Indigenous Communities in interpreting native plant collections and landscapes stewarded by the Botanical Gardens & Arboretum. Before coming to Michigan\, David earned his BA in Botany (UNC-Chapel Hill)\, and his PhD (Claremont Graduate School) was followed by a NSF-funded postdoc at Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum.\n\n RSVP requested at: cew.umich.edu/events/cewinspire-workshop-who-speaks-for-seeds-respectful-listening-meaningful-actions/ UID:69928-17483065@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69928 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Biology,Community Service,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Diversity Strategic Plan,Ecology,Environment,Free,History,Humanities,Inclusion,Life Science,Mindfulness,Multicultural,Native American,Natural Sciences,nature,Outdoors,Sustainability,Well-being,Workshop LOCATION:Center for the Education of Women CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200226T073413 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:On the Empty Miles of Ride-Sourcing Services: Theory\, Observation\, and Countermeasures DESCRIPTION:The proliferation of smartphones in recent years has catalyzed rapid growth of app-based ride-sourcing services such as Uber\, Lyft and Didi Chuxing. A big issue that arises with service expansion is the empty miles produced by ride- sourcing vehicles. To overcome the physical and temporal frictions that separate drivers from customers and effectively reposition themselves towards desired destinations\, ride sourcing vehicles generate a significant amount of vacant trips. These empty miles traveled result in an inefficient use of the available fleet and increase traffic demand\, posing substantially impacts on system operations. This talk expounds the operational physics underlying the empty miles in ride-sourcing services\, and interprets the cause of two critical matching failures that can arise due to some common mechanisms practiced by ride-sourcing platforms. Given the prevalence of the failures in real-world operations\, we discuss countermeasures to avoid inefficiencies upon the empty miles\, and sustain the system performances. Massive empirical data are employed to evidence the presence of matters in reality as well as the effectiveness of control strategies discussed.\n\nZhengtian Xu is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan.

A key aspect of omni-channel fulfillment problems is the trade-off between cancellations of accepted online orders and profits\; a riskier fulfillment policy may result in more online sales but also more cancelled orders.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe a stochastic model of the process leading to order cancellations for a single item so that retailers may find fulfillment policies that effectively use this information along with shipping costs between various locations. We describe iterative algorithms based on Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis (IPA) that converge to optimal and locally optimal policies within certain flexible policy classes for the multiple-location version of this model\, and show their empirical performance on simulations based on real data from a high-end North American retailer.\n\nTime permitting\, I will describe a related problem of maximizing revenues subject to a constraint on cancellations across a large portfolio of items and an approach to solving it.

The most commonly-used generalized inverse is the well-known and celebrated Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse. But not all Moore-Penrose properties are needed to ensure that a generalized inverse solves key problems\, like least squares. So there is the opportunity to find sparser generalized inverses that do the jobs. The usual approach of exact 1-norm minimization to induce sparsity has flaws here\, so we will look at an alternative approach overcoming the flaws. I will present theoretical and computational results on this\, in particular approximation algorithms with nice properties. Based on joint works with: Marcia Fampa (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro)\, Luze Xu (UM)\, and Gabriel Ponte (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro).\n\nBio:\nJon’s research focus is on nonlinear discrete optimization (NDO). Many practical engineering problems have physical aspects which are naturally modeled through smooth nonlinear functions\, as well as design aspects which are often modeled with discrete variables. Research in NDO seeks to marry diverse techniques from classical areas of optimization\, for example methods for smooth nonlinear optimization and methods for integer linear programming\, with the idea of successfully attacking natural NDO models for practical engineering problems.

Many low-carbon electric generation technologies exist that we can use\, but the value of these technologies depends on economics\, policies\, local environments\, and the larger systems in which they are embedded. In this seminar\, I will explore how these factors can affect the value of three technologies: carbon capture and sequestration (CCS)\, run-of-river hydropower\, and grid-scale electricity storage. CCS includes three distinct processes - capturing\, transporting\, and sequestering CO2 - that are highly constrained by spatially-variable laws and regulations\, which I will discuss. I will then present work on optimizing the operations of a series of run-of-river hydropower facilities in California to maximize their revenues while limiting downstream flow impacts\, enabling profitable deployment while mitigating local environmental impacts. Finally\, while grid-scale electricity storage is seen as a key enabling technology for high-renewable futures\, studies indicate it can increase CO2 emissions in the near-term. To conclude the seminar\, I will quantify near- and long-term CO2 emission (dis)benefits of grid-scale storage under varying power system conditions.

APTs consist of multiple stages\, including initial system compromise\, privilege escalation\, and data exfiltration\, each of which involves strategic interaction between the APT and the targeted system. While this strategic interaction can be viewed as a game\, the stealthiness\, adaptiveness\, and unpredictability of APTs imply that the information structure of the game and the strategies of the APT are not readily available. In this talk\, we will present a game-theoretic approach to characterize the trade-off between effectiveness for detecting APTs and resource efficiency. Our approach to modeling APTs is based on the insight that the persistent nature of APTs introduces information flows in the system that can be monitored. One monitoring mechanism is Dynamic Information Flow Tracking (DIFT)\, which taints and tracks suspicious information flows through a system and performs security analysis on the tainted flows at designated locations. Since performing security analysis on all the flows will incur significant memory and performance overhead\, efficient defense policies are needed to maximize the probability of detecting the APT while minimizing resource costs. In this work\, we develop a multi-stage game framework for modeling the interaction between an APT and a DIFT\, as well as designing an efficient DIFT-based defense. Our model is grounded on APT data gathered using the Refinable Attack Investigation (RAIN) flow-tracking framework. We will present the current state of our formulation\, insights that it provides on designing effective defenses against APTs\, and directions for future work.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\nShana Moothedath is a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at the University of Washington\, Seattle\, USA.

While progress is being made\, most tissues created to date are simply not large enough to support clinically meaningful functions\, and their structural features remain an magnitude coarser in resolution than native tissues. Few organs better represent this challenge than the liver – the largest visceral organ in the human body\, in which hepatocytes are aligned in single cell-width structures entangled with vascular and biliary networks. To address this challenge\, we are working to develop a portfolio of tools that integrate 3D printing\, synthetic biology\, and the innate capacity of cells to self-assemble. We are applying these tools to decode the signals that drive tissue assembly during development\, and using this information to build scaled artificial tissues that replicate the features of native tissues.

Grassroots Perspectives on Business & Human Rights: Insights from \"Tethered Fates\" DESCRIPTION:Global supply chains link consumers\, brands\, manufacturers\, workers\, and local community members as “stakeholders” with significantly different levels of risk and benefit. When harm occurs in the course of business activity\, prevailing approaches to stakeholder consultation are typically driven by companies\, without significant input from people at the grassroots level. This talk reveals where stakeholder consultation is taking place globally\; how the process unfolds at the community level\; and what types of innovation might be possible but are currently missed by “top-down” approaches to consultation. Hertel’s talk features analysis of quantitative data from over 7\,000 companies worldwide\; she finds extractive companies across all regions tend to consult more heavily than light manufacturing companies\, and corporations determine the mode\, scope and content of the practice regardless of sector or region. The talk also features original interview data from paired case studies in two manufacturing towns in the Dominican Republic where collegiate apparel is produced. Hertel reveals local peoples’ insights on the limits of existing approaches to stakeholder dialogue along with their ideas for how better to diagnose problems\, predict future challenges\, and forge solutions to ongoing violations of economic rights.\n\nCo-sponsor: U-M President’s Advisory Committee on Labor Standards and Human Rights.\n\nShareen Hertel is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Connecticut\, jointly appointed with the university’s Human Rights Institute. Drawing on 20 years of policy work with United Nations agencies\, foundations\, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the United States\, Latin America and South Asia\, her scholarship focuses on economic rights\, social movements\, and global supply chains. Hertel is Editor of The Journal of Human Rights\; co-editor of the Routledge International Studies Intensives book series\; and serves on the editorial boards of Human Rights Review and Human Rights and Human Welfare. Her published work includes Tethered Fates: Companies\, Communities and Rights at Stake (Oxford University Press 2019)\; Activists Beyond Borders: Conflict & Change Among Transnational Activists (Cornell University Press\, 2006)\; Economic Rights: Conceptual\, Measurement & Policy Issues (Cambridge University Press 2007 with Lanse Minkler)\; Human Rights in the United States: Beyond Exceptionalism (Cambridge University Press\, 2011 with Kathryn Libal)\; along with multiple articles and book chapters.

In many populations\, the process of adaptive evolution can be thought of as an uphill walk of a population on a \"fitness landscape\" where mutations are steps and fitness is altitude. Understanding the structure of fitness landscapes is a fundamental open problem in evolutionary biology. I will discuss our efforts to probe the fitness landscapes and the adaptive walks on them using experimental microbial populations. I will show some interesting and perhaps somewhat counterintuitive patterns that we found. If time permits\, I will say a few words about our initial attempts to build a theory that might help us understand these patterns.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/BAMcA5yz8I8 UID:69044-17220025@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69044 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200313T123028 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:NSA Opportunities: Navigating the Application Process Webinar DESCRIPTION:If you’re thinking of applying at NSA\, this is a great primer on what we do\, our student and career opportunities and the steps in our application process.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: More than 30 years ago\, a debate that took place in the journal Archeologia Medievale marked a turning print in the study of post-Roman urbanism. The subject was: can we consider Europe's late antique and early medieval cities as \"proper\" cities? After some decades\, and many archaeological investigations\, our perception of this subject has become much different from that pioneering starting point. Are \"discontinuity\" or \"continuity\" (in respect to the past) still useful terms to label that segment of European urban history? The presentation will explore the most recent data and discuss new perspectives on urban landscapes during late antiquity and the early middle ages. \n\nAndrea Augenti has taught medieval archaeology at the University of Bologna since 2000. He has carried out investigations in many Italian sites and directed the excavation of the monastery of San Severo in Classe (Ravenna). Andrea Augenti is also editor of the journal Archeologia Medievale and member of the International Advisory Board of the journal Medieval Archaeology. He is a member of Scientific Committee of the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum (Rome) and of the RavennAntica Foundation.

In the Great Lakes system\, lake sturgeon are not only the largest indigenous freshwater fishes\, they are also important players in complex aquatic food webs. Their remarkable past has given way to a tenuous future as overfishing\, habitat loss\, and pollution threaten their survival. Today\, there is hope in efforts to restore lake sturgeon populations and spawning grounds\, as well as in public awareness initiatives that share the cultural and ecological significance of this species. Thanks to the leadership of Michigan Native American Tribes and other organizations\, lake sturgeon are beginning to make a comeback. Join a panel of experts as we explore the past\, present\, and future of this extraordinary endemic fish:\n\nMatt Friedman\, Director\, U-M Museum of Paleontology and Associate Professor\, Earth and Environmental Sciences\nKaren Alofs\, Assistant Professor\, U-M School for Environment and Sustainability \nDoug Craven\, Director\, Natural Resources Department\, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians\n\nThis program and the temporary exhibition\, Survivor: The long journey of lake sturgeon\, are offered as part of the LSA Great Lakes Theme Semester\, https://lsa.umich.edu/greatlakes.\n\nThis event honors the memory of Dr. William R.

Thai Movie Night: Censor Must Die DESCRIPTION:When Shakespeare Must Die\, a Thai film adaptation of Macbeth is banned by the Thai government as a threat to national security\, the film’s producer treks through the corridors of power to un-ban his Shakespearean horror movie–from the Cultural ministry to the Senate and the National Human Rights Commission\, all the way to the Administrative Court where he is suing the government for abuse of power. Wherever he went\, amidst political upheaval\, his director followed with a camera. The resulting reality cinema is the living story of a struggle for justice and human dignity\, for freedom of expression\, which Thai filmmakers do not have. A dark cinematic record of democracy in action\, in all its farcical\, obscene and heartbreaking details.\n\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.
