Such action is needed to prevent potentially catastrophic shifts in regional temperatures\, precipitation patterns\, and sea level rise. This teach-in will introduce several emerging opportunities to (1) sequester human-derived CO2 emissions and (2) directly utilize CO2 to create value-added products. Topics will include geologic sequestration of CO2\, use of CO2 to produce geothermal energy and store surplus renewable energy in subsurface reservoirs\, and direct utilization of CO2 in durable concrete infrastructure products. The presentation will include several hands-on activities to explore these processes and discuss how we can leverage such engineering solutions to slow climate change.

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.

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.

Landscapes and Logging in the Russian Far East DESCRIPTION:Faculty of the School of Environment and Sustainability Kathleen Bergen and Joshua Newell will provide insight into how logging\, fire\, and land use has impacted the globally-important forests and landscapes of Russia’s vast Far East. Despite the region’s importance\, research to date has not tried to unravel the respective roles of human and natural in these magnificent landscapes. They will also discuss the growing influence of China\, largely through trade in resources\, on ecosystems in this region.\n \n Associate Research Scientist Kathleen Bergen\, PhD\, works in the areas of land-cover/land-use change and human dimensions of environmental change. She uses remote sensing\, geographic information systems (GIS)\, and geospatial methods to study the drivers and consequences of forest and other land changes. She has worked since 2000 on NASA-supported projects using remote sensing to quantify forest and land change in Siberia and the Russian Far East in the context of changing socio-economic eras. She is lead author of the chapter “Human Dimensions of Environmental Change in Siberia” in Regional Environmental Changes in Siberia and Their Global Consequences\, published by Springer\, as well as contributor to the international NASA Northern Eurasia Partnership Initiatives (NEESPI and NEFI) science plans.\n \nJoshua Newell is an associate professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan. He is a broadly trained human-environment geographer\, whose research focuses on questions related to sustainability\, resource consumption\, and environmental and social justice. He is recognized authority on environmental and resource use issues in the Russian Federation\, especially the Russian Far East. Published work in this area has appeared in Eurasian Geography and Economics\, Geoforum\, and the International Forestry Review\, among others\, and he has published two reference texts on environment and development in Russia’s Far East. His work is supported by the National Science Foundation\, NASA\, and private foundations\, and he has received a Fulbright Award to study Russian-Chinese-U.S. flows of wood and the environmental sustainability challenges they pose.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

When they do notice the blessings\, however\, they disproportionately notice other people who have helped them reach their goals rather than positive personal characteristics or structural benefits. The opposite pattern emerges for barriers: people report structural barriers but rarely mention harmful interpersonal relationships. In this talk\, I will outline this phenomenon and discuss the possibility that it is due to a social norm that obliges people to pay close attention to the help they receive from others\, but not the advantages they receive from non-interpersonal life circumstances.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaura Soter:\n\nAbstract:\nNormative moral judgments - judgments about what's right and wrong\, or judgments about what we should or shouldn't do - are meant to be action-guiding. Yet\, recent work has found that people's normative judgments about what they should do don't always align with what they actually do. There are a number of possible explanations for why people might fail in the moment to act as they think they should\, including failures of affective forecasting or weakness of will. Across four studies\, we test an alternative hypothesis: that people may be reflectively aware that they won't always act in accordance with their moral judgments. Our findings show that in relational \"loyalty dilemmas\,\" there are consistent patterns of differences when people are asked what they would do\, as opposed to what they should do.

Washington. \n\nWashington will join us via livestream to discuss her book \"A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and Its Assault on the American Mind.\"\n\nMs. Washington adds her incisive analysis to the environmental discussion presenting an argument that IQ is a biased and flawed metric\, one that it is useful for tracking cognitive damage. She takes apart the spurious notion of intelligence as an inherited trait\, using copious data that instead point to a different cause of the reported African American-white IQ achievement gap.\n\nThe book explains that environmental racism - a confluence of racism and other institutional factors that relegate marginalized communities to living and working near sites of toxic waste\, pollution\, and insufficient sanitation services is terrible for the brain. Ms. Washington investigates heavy metals\, neurotoxins\, deficient prenatal care\, bad nutrition\, and even pathogens as chief agents influencing intelligence to explain why communities of color are disproportionately affected -- and what can be done to remedy this devastating problem.\n\nHarriet A. Washington has been the Shearing Fellow at the University of Nevada's Black Mountain Institute\, a Research Fellow in Medical Ethics at Harvard Medical School\, and a senior research scholar at the National Center for Bioethics at\nTuskegee University.

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.

Yasmine Diaz: One Way or Another DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Los Angeles based artist Yasmine Diaz will speak about her experiences making work as an agnostic feminist of Muslim heritage in a post 9/11 era of xenophobia and anti-Muslim rhetoric. Her talk will center on a her 2017 piece\, One Way or Another (college and hand-cut watercolor paper\, 18 x 24)\n \n Yasmine navigates overlapping tensions around religion\, gender\, and third-culture identity using personal archives\, found imagery and various media on paper as well as installation. Born and raised in Chicago to parents who immigrated from the highlands of southern Yemen\, her mixed media work often reflects personal histories of the opposing cultures she was raised within. She has exhibited and performed at spaces including the Brava Theater in San Francisco\, the Torrance Art Museum\, Charlie James Gallery\, and Station Beirut. Diaz is a 2019 California Community Foundation Visual Artist Fellow with works included in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, The University of California Los Angeles\, and The Poetry Project Space in Berlin.

Only now\, the patterns are a million times smaller and driven by the wafer fab equipment industry. The most advanced plasma etching technique in production today is called atomic layer etching (ALE) in which a single layer is removed in a cyclic manner. This talk will review the ALE ap-proach in comparison to conventional plasma etching tech-niques\, such as Reactive Ion Etching (RIE). As RIE reaches its fifth decade\, its drawbacks have become apparent. ALE offers better control by isolating steps in time and switching between the steps in a repeatable cycle. To the extent that an ALE pro-cess behaves ideally – with high ALE synergy and self-limiting behavior – the primary benefit is improved uniformity across all length scales: at the surface\, between different aspect rati-os\, and across the full wafer. Another benefit that will be high-lighted is the atomic-scale smoothness in topography of the surface left behind after etching. The underlying mechanism and benefits of plasma ALE will be described\, providing insight into the plasma science behind the ancient art of etching. Overall\, ALE is simpler to understand than conventional plasma etch processing\, and is proving to be important as we apply the art of etch at the atomic scale.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nRichard A.

Please join us! \n\nTitle: “Plasma Transport in Saturn’s Magnetosphere”\n\nAbstract: Saturn’s magnetosphere is often termed “internally driven” because the structure and dynamics are largely determined by a dominant plasma source that lies deep inside the magnetosphere (the water plumes of the moon Enceladus) and by processes driven by the planet’s rapid rotation: 1) centrifugally-driven flux-\ntube interchange that delivers inner magnetospheric plasma to the middle magnetosphere\; and 2) magnetic reconnection of stretched\, plasma-laden flux tubes\, with ultimate down-tail loss of plasmoids containing Enceladus-sourced material. There are numerous pieces of evidence supporting this paradigm but also numerous outstanding questions. In this talk we summarize recent efforts to address several aspects of global transport\, primarily relating to the interchange process: How and where is it initiated? How deeply into the inner magnetosphere can interchange penetrate? What can we learn about the evolution of interchange injections?

Further\, a successful design outcome hinges on foundational work done during the \"front-end” of design processes\, which includes problem definition\, deep needs and stakeholder assessments using design ethnography\, requirements development\, and idea generation. Research has shown that experts develop both conscious and subconscious design strategies that impact success\, and that novices often lack strategies and the ability to successfully implement them. This seminar will discuss investigations of strategies in front-end design\, ways these strategies can be translated to design and education tools\, and the role of front-end design in broadening recognition of skills that engineering includes.\n\nBIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Dr. Shanna Daly is an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering. She has a B.E. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Dayton and a Ph.D. degree in Engineering Education from Purdue University. Her research characterizes front-end design practices across the student to practitioner continuum\, uses these findings to develop tools to support design best practices\, and studies the impact of front-end design tools on design success. She focuses on divergent and convergent thinking processes\, including concept generation and development and problem space exploration\, how to foster creativity in engineering work\, and processes to understand social and cultural elements of the contexts in which engineering work occurs and integrate them into decision making. Her studies often involve both professional and educational contexts and collaborations across disciplines with scholars in engineering\, education\, industrial design\, and psychology.

The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\nThe workshop will run from February 5 to April 15\, 2020. Participants meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. There will be no meeting on March 4. \nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll UID:71150-17783453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71150 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English As A Second Language,Graduate,International,Language,Speech Language Pathology,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Workshop LOCATION:V.

That’s the question that researchers have spent the past two years investigating as part of an effort to reduce the phosphorus loading that is fueling algal blooms in Lake Erie. A research team from Old Woman Creek Reserve and the University of Toledo developed a Bayesian hierarchical modeling approach to calculate the phosphorus retention capacity of wetlands with limited datasets. \n\nIn this webinar\, the team will share some of their key findings\, management implications\, and potential for other practitioners to use their monitoring guide and statistical codes to calculate the nutrient retention capacity of their wetlands. In addition to taking audience questions\, the team will offer some ideas about how their work informs an ambitious new water quality initiative in Ohio.

It quickly became the centerpiece of an enthusiastic community-led restoration and educational project in the neighboring city of Hamtramck before it met an untimely and sudden demolition at the hands of the City of Detroit in February of 2019. This presentation recounts the archaeological investigations of the late 19th-century log cabin in the context of the city's blight removal efforts. It also uses the controversy surrounding the cabin's demolition to discuss how federal policies towards blight removal are adversely affecting the identification and preservation of poor\, working-class historic resources in post-industrial cities.

Quantum networks are also a model for distributed quantum computing. Quantum emitters featuring spin-photon interfaces and quantum memories are crucial elements in the nodes of such networks. Non-classical states of light\, such as single and entangled photons\, are also critical for novel quantum technologies. Key questions are therefore how to control the nodes of these networks and how to produce the desired photonic states. I will give and overview of the field and present our work focusing on the control of spins and the deterministic generation of highly entangled photonic states from spinful quantum emitters such as color centers and semiconductor quantum dots. \n UID:72134-17942180@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72134 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200309T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200311T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200311T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Designing Functional Sites in Porous Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion DESCRIPTION: Despite their high theoretical specific energy of 2\,600 Wh kg-1\, the commercialization of Li-S devices is hindered by irreversible capacity loss from the dissolution of polysulfide intermediates in the electrolyte solution. We report novel strategies to design reactive sites for polysulfide adsorption in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve capacity retention and ionic conductivity. Incorporation of redox-active moieties in the framework further enable fast charge and discharge capabilities. Identifying structure-property-function relationships in tunable molecular platforms offer new methods to advance electrochemical storage technologies. In addition\, we will present new strategies to probe the electrode-electrolyte interfaces in electrocatalysis using advanced electrochemical techniques such as in-situ vibrational spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The ubiquity of surfactants and carbon supports in catalysis warrants a closer examination on their influence on the electrode-electrolyte interface during carbon dioxide reduction. New insights on the impact of molecular additives and carbonaceous materials on product formation and Faradaic efficiency in electrocatalytic carbon conversion will be discussed. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSara Thoi (Johns Hopkins University) UID:72004-17914112@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72004 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200305T104045 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200311T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200311T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Order and the Underground: Governing the Goldfields of Madagascar DESCRIPTION:Brian Ikaika Klein is a doctoral candidate in environmental science\, policy\, and management at the University of California\, Berkeley. His research integrates the study of social and ecological conditions and processes to understand resource access and governance in extractive frontier settings across the Global South. Prevailing narratives among policymakers and in popular media consistently portray these spaces as unregulated and chaotic. \nKlein challenges these representations by documenting and analyzing the complex governance arrangements that order activities\, manage conflict\, and determine livelihoods on the extractive frontier. He presents ethnographic and historical evidence from Madagascar to elucidate the emergence\, evolution\, and endurance of governance institutions in gold mining communities on the island\, as well as to interrogate the global\, national\, and local dynamics by which these institutions are shaped. \nAt the center of his work is a commitment to producing policy-relevant research informed by interdisciplinary political-ecological analysis interested in achieving more equitable and sustainable development outcomes for smallholder resource extractors and rural communities–in Madagascar\, and across sub-Saharan Africa.\nKlein’s research has won support from the National Science Foundation\, UC Berkeley’s Center for African Studies\, and UC Berkeley’s Center for the Study of Law and Society (among other divisions on campus). His agenda for future research comprises extending this analysis to build a broader comparative project on frontier governance\; examining the consequences of Chinese state-corporate investments and interventions in Africa’s extractive resource sectors for local institutions and livelihoods\; and investigating the ways in which the growth of industries related to climate change mitigation is generating new globally-networked and locally-embedded mineral economies. He is also collaborating with U4/USAID/WWF as an expert consultant on natural resource governance and corruption in Madagascar.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nThe greatest barrier to generosity isn't that people are unwilling or unable to help\, but that people don't ask for what they need. Requests drive the giving-receiving cycle. Drawing on his new book\, All You Have To Do Is Ask\, Baker describes the four asking-giving styles\, how to assess your style\, how to overcome the obstacles to asking\, how to make effective requests\, and how to figure out who to ask. He will present several tools that individuals\, teams\, and organizations use to create a robust culture of workplace generosity. In-person attendees will have the opportunity to use the tools in real time.\n\nAbout Baker:\nWayne Baker is Robert P. Thome Professor of Business Administration and Professor of Management & Organizations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. He is also Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan and Faculty Associate at the Institute for Social Research. He currently serves as Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations.\n\nHis teaching and research focus on social capital\, social networks\, generosity\, positive organizational scholarship\, and values. His management and leadership articles appear in venues such as Harvard Business Review\, Chief Executive Magazine\, and Sloan Management Review. His latest book\, All You Have To Do Is Ask\, will be published in January 2020.\n\nHe puts his knowledge into practice as a frequent guest speaker\, management consultant\, and as an advisor and board member of Give and Take Inc.\, developers of the Givitas collaborative technology platform.\n\nPrior to joining the Michigan faculty\, he was on the faculty at the University of Chicago business school.

Please stay tuned for details.\n\n\nWilliam Lopez\, Emily Fredericks\, and Matthew Lassiter discuss Lopez's recent book\, Separated: Family and Community in the Aftermath of an Immigration Raid published by John Hopkins University Press in September 2019. This event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.\n\nThere will be an instant-win raffle at the beginning of the event for 5 free copies of the book! Must be present to win!\n\nAbout the book:\n\nOn a Thursday in November of 2013\, Guadalupe Morales waited anxiously with her sister-in-law and their four small children. Every Latino man who drove away from their shared apartment above a small auto repair shop that day had failed to return—arrested\, one by one\, by ICE agents and local police. As the two women discussed what to do next\, a SWAT team clad in body armor and carrying assault rifles stormed the room. As Guadalupe remembers it\, \"The soldiers came in the house. They knocked down doors. They threw gas. They had guns. We were two women with small children... The kids terrified\, the kids screaming.\"\n\nIn Separated\, William D. Lopez examines the lasting damage done by this daylong act of collaborative immigration enforcement in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Exploring the chaos of enforcement through the lens of community health\, Lopez discusses deportation's rippling negative effects on families\, communities\, and individuals. Focusing on those left behind\, Lopez reveals their efforts to cope with trauma\, avoid homelessness\, handle worsening health\, and keep their families together as they attempt to deal with a deportation machine that is militarized\, traumatic\, implicitly racist\, and profoundly violent.\n\nLopez uses this single home raid to show what immigration law enforcement looks like from the perspective of the people who actually experience it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with twenty-four individuals whose lives were changed that day in 2013\, as well as field notes\, records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act\, and his own experience as an activist\, Lopez combines rigorous research with narrative storytelling. Putting faces and names to the numbers behind deportation statistics\, Separated urges readers to move beyond sound bites and consider the human experience of mixed-status communities in the small everyday towns that dot the interior of the United States.

Since embarking on her solo career after a stint as lead vocalist of the legendary band Solas\, she has released six solo albums\, a duo album\, and a children's album and has appeared on more than 50 albums in total. She has toured constantly throughout North America\, Europe and Japan\, performing solo\, with her own band and with many other artists\, often from outside the realm of Irish music. Her adventurous spirit results from the varied influences--classical music\, jazz\, and American pop--that Casey has made her own since growing up amid Irish traditional music in Ballyduff Lower\, County Waterford. Karan Casey\, says the Associated Press\, has \"a voice so beautiful\, it's almost impossible to avoid falling under her spell.\" She comes to Michigan with a recent album\, \"Hieroglyphs That Tell the Tale.\" UID:69652-17376505@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69652 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Findyour Folk LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
