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. She currently resides in Albuquerque and teaches experimental art at the University of New Mexico.

Seating is limited. Visit our project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. 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. Public programs\, classes\, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society\, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.\n \nIn her investigation of America’s courts\, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law\, drama\, and anthropology\, among others. \n \nDue to the nature of the project\, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.\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.

As a society we need to not only improve the management of our water resources\, we should also explore how valuable resources can be recovered from our water. This teach-in will explore the connections between our drinking water\, wastewater\, and natural water systems in order to better manage our water resources and recover valuable products. In recent years researchers have focused on recovering valuable products such as fertilizers from our waste streams in order to develop more sustainable products and conserve finite resources. We will explore this topic and many more in this teach-in. Specifically\, this program will dive in to interesting topics such as:\n--Current resource recovery opportunities such as nutrient recycling\n--New and emerging resource recovery and water reuse technologies\n--Tangible steps that you can take within your household to improve your impact on the water cycle\n\nYou can expect to learn about the engineered water cycle\, how you can reduce your food/water waste\, nutrient recycling\, and new technologies and approaches to recover valuable resources from our water and wastewater!

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.

Our ability to predict how communities of organisms will respond to such disturbances depends on being able to understand how biotic and abiotic interactions influence the survival of individual animals. This talk presents new tools and approaches to quantitatively characterize behavioral variation in biomechanical performance in the real world. This information informs the design of bio-inspired robotic models that emulate current\, extinct\, and theoretical forms and are used in robot-animal interaction experiments to probe the fundamental biomechanical principles shaping the evolution of animal movement over millions of years. By examining the biomechanics of motions in complex environments\, we are better able to predict animal response to ecosystem disturbance. In addition\, we are able to design robots capable of successful operation in real-world environments. \n\nTalia Y.

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.

Understanding and modeling this growth is obviously of high importance. We noticed that for several weeks\, the number of deaths in China could be fit by a power law with exponent of about 2.25\, suggesting a kind of fractal or small-world behavior going on. Traditional epidemiological models\, such as the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered models (SEIR) puts groups in compartments and use differential equations to predict the behavior\, but there is no spatial or network properties taken into account. At early times\, the growth is exponential depending upon the reproduction rate\, and for later times those models predict an s-shaped curve. The power-law result predicted a greater growth of the epidemic than many people were predicting. More recently\, the daily deaths in China have dropped off exponentially\, in fact following a model of A. Vazquez from 2006. At the same time\, the growth in the number of total deaths in other parts of the world is tracking the behavior in China\, delayed by one month. The small-world\, fractal idea suggested that this world-wide transmission was likely to take place\, and the belief that it could be contained in China was clearly short-sighted.\n\nReference: A. L.

While a great deal of insight has been gained regarding classical stoichiometric regimes\, more discoveries continue to be made about the complexities of these interactions between carbonyls and Lewis acids in catalytic systems. In particular\, the new reactivity observed in Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin metathesis demonstrates that a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between these classical Lewis pairs remains incomplete. It is our hypothesis that the application of in situ techniques will provide key insights into reactivity initiated by the interactions of Lewis pairs that are as yet unexplored. Synthetic\, spectroscopic\, kinetic\, and computational techniques will be presented which facilitate characterization of both the ground and transition state behavior of Lewis acids and carbonyl compounds. These data will be used to demonstrate the complex interplay of Lewis acid catalyst\, substrate\, and product under synthetically relevant conditions. Overall\, these rigorous mechanistic studies catalogue the factors critical to concise reaction design\, and more specifically\, detail the mechanistic features of carbonyl-olefin metathesis. \n \n \n \n \nJames Devery (Loyola University Chicago) UID:69375-17312377@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69375 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191111T123811 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200310T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200310T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium: Intranasal oxytocin effects on human brain activity during social interactions DESCRIPTION:Oxytocin (OT) is a naturally occurring endogenous neuropeptide that is known to modulate social behavior across a wide range of animal species. We conducted a double-blind\, placebo-controlled\, pharmaco-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study in which healthy normal subjects were randomized to treatment with either 24 IU intranasal OT (INOT\; n=100) or placebo (PBO\, n=104) and imaged with fMRI as they played an interactive social decision-making task known as the iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma (PD) game with same-sex partners. INOT altered the neural response to reciprocated cooperation (a positive social interaction) within areas involved in reward and salience such as the nucleus accumbens and dorsal ACC\, and also altered the response to unreciprocated cooperation (a negative social interaction) within areas involved in salience and threat detection\, like the anterior insula and the amygdala. Furthermore\, INOT altered functional connectivity within a social behavioral neural network in response to both reciprocated and unreciprocated cooperation. These findings support the potential utility of OT to treat stress and anxiety disorders as well as disorders involving deficits in social motivation. However\, INOT effects were highly heterogeneous\, depending on sex\, OXTR genotype\, and stimulus novelty vs. familiarity. Furthermore\, effects may also differ by dose\, patient status (healthy subjects vs. patients) and between endogenous and exogenously administered OT.

This talk will review these intriguing phenomena and highlight their deeper connections with current aspects of space sustainability\, space traffic management\, and space situational awareness. One particularly compelling ideology is based on the judicious use of the resulting instabilities to prescribe natural Earth re-entry itineraries to remedy the space debris problem or to navigate the phase space. In this seminar\, I will review recent theoretical and numerical investigations on the orbital dynamics of resident space objects\, and show how resonances can profoundly affect the behavior of these bodies\, in both dissipative and Hamiltonian settings.\nThis work ties together observation\, theory\, and simulation\, and fosters connections between fields apparently quite different in character and emphasis. I will specifically note its cross-cutting nature and relevance to planetary science\, applied dynamical systems theory\, planned and proposed spacecraft missions\, and satellite constellation design and control.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\nAaron J. Rosengren is an Assistant Professor in the College of Engineering at the University of Arizona and Affiliate Member of the Interdisciplinary Program in Applied Mathematics\, specializing in astrodynamics-based space situational awareness.

She offers images and tales of lighthouses and shipwrecks from the inland seas\, a biosphere with the power to influence artists forever. Stories of displaced children\, indigenous youth\, and runaways portray stormy passages. What geography constitutes “home” in picture books\, Y/A and graphic novels\, legends\, and film? How do we retain and preserve the settings we first encountered? Goodenough investigates how a sense of belonging and becoming abides within\, sustaining or haunting a lifetime. In this session we recall regional memories\, ideas about nature\, and narratives of outdoor exploration. Registration is encouraged but not required: https://forms.gle/74gbaZq4hdF1EBZR7\n\nGoodenough has taught literature at Harvard\, Claremont McKenna\, and Sarah Lawrence colleges\, and the University of Michigan. She has published several volumes in Childhood Studies\, and her award-winning PBS documentary\, Where Do the Children Play?\, helped initiate a national dialogue on outdoor play.\n\nImmediately following the presentation\, we invite you to this month's Special Collections After Hours Event\, The Great Lakes in Children's Literature.

For example\, a 3D second-order TI has gapless 1D hinge modes and gapped 2D surface and gapped 3D bulk\, whereas a 3D first-order TI has gapless 2D surface modes. In general\, n-th order TI in d-dimensional space has gapless modes at (d-n) dimensional boundary.\n\nIn this work\, we generalize the Pfaffian formalism\, which has been playing an important role in the study of time-reversal invariant first-order topological insulators\, to 3D chiral higher-order topological insulators protected by the product of four-fold rotational symmetry C_4 and the time-reversal symmetry T. This Pfaffian description reveals a deep and fundamental link between TIs and HOTIs\, and allows important conclusions about TIs to be generalized to HOTIs. In particular\, we can generalize Fu-Kane's parity criterion for TIs to HOTIs\, and also present a general method to efficiently compute the Z_2 index of 3D chiral HOTIs without a global gauge.\n\nSpatially Coherent Lasing in an Atomically-Thin Heterostructure\n\nAtomically thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are a promising gain media for the next generation of semiconductor lasers and nanophotonics. They have advantages over the traditional III-V semiconductors because they exhibit strong light-matter interaction\, are flexible and compact\, and allow easy integration with various substrates. Utilizing these advantages\, we engineer a lasing device with a rotationally aligned WSe2-MoSe2 van der Waals heterostructure integrated with a one-dimensional (1D) silicon nitride (SiN) grating resonator. Angle-resolved micro-photoluminescence and spatial coherence measurements show signatures of lasing\, which include bright emission intensity and formation of extended spatial coherence. This work establishes 2D semiconductor heterostructures as a new type of gain medium.

However\, it should be noted that assessment and learning can exist as two distinct components\, and require a framework that would allow their integration into a single coherent system. The efficiency of such a system will depend on the extent that each component can be implemented adaptively. In this presentation\, I will discuss using cognitive diagnosis modeling as a framework for developing a personalize assessment and learning system (PALS). I will discuss what cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) are\, what their unique features are\, how they differ from other psychometric models\, and how cognitive diagnosis computerized adaptive testing can further capitalize on the advantages of CDMs and make diagnostic testing more efficient. To build the complete PALS\, an explicit instructional component that can facilitate learning is needed. I will discuss a number of important issues that need to addressed before a coherent and effective PALS can be built. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of possible future directions\, and some of the challenges and recent developments in the area.

As a powerful yet often overlooked area in research about contemporary Korean studies\, public interactions with architectural design and spatial identity play important roles in reflecting sociocultural changes and the political climate in and around South Korea. This project traces the historical significance of the district of Dongdaemun as the leading site of Korean modernity and attempts to read the diasporic sensibility of Koreans and their sense of displacement and collective memory embedded in the process of developing the cityscape.\n \nMiseong Woo is a professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at Yonsei University in South Korea. Her research interests include race\, gender\, modernity in modern drama\, the literary and visual history of Asian diaspora\, and cultural encounters between the East and West in popular culture. She published Representation of Asian Women in the West (2014) with Sam & Parkers\, which won the 2014 Korea Research Foundation Achievement Award. She received a Fulbright Scholar Award for the 2011–2012 academic year\, taught at Cornell University as a distinguished visiting professor in Korean studies in 2016\, and is the first scholar selected as the Fulbright Korea Distinguished Chair at Emory University in 2020.

Yet\, discrimination and violence against African-American farmers has led to our decline from 14 percent of all growers in 1920 to less than 2 percent today\, with a corresponding loss of over 14 million acres of land. Further\, Black communities suffer disproportionately from illnesses related to lack of access to fresh food and healthy natural ecosystems. Soul Fire Farm\, cofounded by author\, activist\, and farmer Leah Penniman\, is committed to ending racism and injustice in our food system. Through programs such as the Black-Indigenous Farmers Immersion\, a sliding-scale farmshare CSA\, and Youth Food Justice leadership training\, Soul Fire Farm is part of a global network of farmers working to increase farmland stewardship by people of color\, restore Afro-indigenous farming practices\, and end food apartheid. Join us to learn how you too can be part of the movement for food sovereignty and help build a food system based on justice\, dignity\, and abundance for all members of our community. \n\n--\n\nFood Literacy for All is a community-academic partnership course started in 2017. Structured as an evening lecture series\, Food Literacy for All features different guest speakers each week to address challenges and opportunities of diverse food systems. The course is designed to prioritize engaged scholarship that connects theory and practice.

Bruchac is an Associate Professor of Anthropology\, Coordinator of Native American and Indigenous Studies\, and Associate Faculty in the Penn Cultural Heritage Center at the University of Pennsylvania.  Her new book\, \"Savage Kin: Indigenous Informants and American Anthropologists\,\" was the winner of the 2018 Council for Museum Anthropology Book Award.\n \nCo-sponsored by the Department of American Culture\; Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\; LSA/Great Lakes Theme Semester\; Native American and Indigenous Student Interest Group\; Native American Studies Program\; Office of Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion\; Program in Science\, Technology and Society (STS)\; U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\; U-M Office of Research\; and the U-M Museum of Art.\n\n UID:73581-18263272@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73581 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Art,Culture,Diversity,Faculty,Inclusion,Museum,Native American,Research,Science,Talk,Theme Semester,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200109T095757 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200310T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200310T203000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bioethics Discussion: Public Health DESCRIPTION:A discussion on the health of our society.\n\nReadings to consider:\n1.
