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.

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:68986-17207409@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.

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.

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.

Whether this art deals with personal grief\, pain\, or discrimination\; or ventures into the larger scope of oppression\, climate change\, and the political world\; engaging with these sorts of topics in-depth and in an artistic way requires some distance or reprieve.

We hope to reschedule this event for the 2020-21 academic year. \n\nThis paper examines how political\, social\, and economic regime changes affect the lifecycles of manufacturing plants exploiting Japan’s transition from a feudal regime to a modern regime in the late nineteenth century as a natural experiment. Using plant-level data for 1902\, including the foundation year of each plant\, we explored how the experience-size profiles of plants differ before and after the regime change. Plants were found to grow much faster after the regime change and the acceleration of growth after the regime change was much greater for the plants in exporting industries\, industries intensively using steam power\, and plants adopting a corporate form. These findings suggest that access to export markets\, access to modern technologies\, and availability of the modern corporate form were the channels through which the regime change affected the experience-size profile of plants.\n\nTetsuji Okazaki is Professor of Economics at the University of Tokyo.

Organic semiconductors\, such as small molecules and polymers\, are well-suited to these future requirements\; however\, their electrical properties and environmental stability are inherently worse. Hybrid materials\, such as inorganic nanoparticles embedded within a polymer film\, can mitigate the trade-offs that exist for any single material type by combining organic and inorganic semiconductors. For example\, hybrid materials can impart multi-functionality\, flexibility\, transparency\, and sustainability to devices based on the interaction of light and matter (i.e.\, optoelectronic devices) or energy-related devices (e.g.\, solar cells\, supercapacitors\, or photo-electrochemical cells). A critically important requirement to realize the promise of hybrid materials for devices is to understand and control thin film deposition. Because hybrid materials are heterogeneous systems containing more than one component\, thin-film deposition can be complicated compared to single component films. As a result\, the co-deposition of two or more materials with different properties to synthesize a hybrid film with pre-determined functionality is a technological challenge within thin-film engineering. I will describe my research program that investigates hybrid thin film deposition using resonant infrared\, matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (RIR-MAPLE) to control structure and properties and to improve the performance of optoelectronic and energy-related devices. I will also reflect on my path to a career in academia and the lessons I have learned along the way.\n\nBio\n\nAdrienne D. Stiff-Roberts is Jeffrey N. Vinik Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University\, where she is also the Director of Graduate Studies for the University Program in Materials Science and Engineering. Her current research interests include organic and hybrid thin-film deposition by resonant-infrared matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (RIR-MAPLE)\; materials characterization of organic and hybrid thin films\; and the design\, fabrication\, and characterization of organic and hybrid optoelectronic devices\, especially infrared photodetectors\, photovoltaic solar cells\, and multi-functional sensors. Dr. Stiff-Roberts received both the B.S. degree in physics from Spelman College and the B.E.E. degree in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1999. She received an M.S.E. in electrical engineering and a Ph.D. in applied physics in 2001 and 2004\, respectively\, from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.

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.

Lyons\, United States Air Force Academy DESCRIPTION:The Departmental Seminar Series is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nThe seminar will be followed by a reception in the IOE Commons (Room 1709) from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.\n\nTitle: \nTrust Considerations of Advanced Technology \n\nAbstract: \nThis talk will dig into issues of trust and transparency as they relate to intelligent machines. The construct of trust will be defined\, and prior research involving trust and transparency will be explored. As machines gain capabilities and authorization to act on behalf of humans\, humans will begin to attribute greater intentionality to their actions - but what impact does this have on human attitudes toward intelligent machines? This talk will explore the dimensions of human-autonomy teaming and will discuss the need for transparency of intent. \n\nBio:\nJoseph B. Lyons is the Lead for the Collaborative Interfaces and Teaming Core Research Area within the 711 Human Performance Wing at Wright-Patterson AFB\, OH. Dr. Lyons received his PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Wright State University in Dayton\, OH\, in 2005.

A huge amount of problem-solving and reasoning in organic chemistry requires drawing and/or interpreting structural representations of chemical substances. The ability to interpret a given representation and go beyond the explicit image is thus one of the major skills to successfully perform in chemistry. However less is known about what information students are actually processing when they need to draw connections between a chemical representation and the chemical meaning that it is meant to convey. How do they connect perceptional “surface-level” attributes of a representation with “deep-level” implicit attributes\, what are productive resources in students reasoning? To fill this gap\, we performed several qualitative studies with undergraduate organic chemistry students to characterize students’ mechanistic reasoning and to derive instructional support. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nNicole Graulich (The Institute of Chemistry Education Justus-Liebig-Universitat Gieben) UID:72453-18009346@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72453 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T132510 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:<> CLASP Seminar Series: Dr. Lee Murray\, University of Rochester DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: we regret that this week's seminar with Dr. Murray has been canceled.

In turn\, climate change has influenced atmospheric composition through perturbations of natural processes\, leading to complex feedbacks across a range of spatial and temporal scales. Here\, I present some ongoing projects aimed at characterizing the interface between atmospheric chemistry and Earth’s climate system in the past\, present and future. First\, I explore the coupling between the primary atmospheric oxidants OH and ozone with the production of reactive nitrogen oxides (NOx) from lightning\, and the subsequent impacts on surface air quality and long-term climate. Second\, I explore how uncertainty in reactive nitrogen chemistry and hydrocarbon oxidation mechanisms in the atmosphere contribute to uncertainties in chemistry-climate feedbacks\, and ongoing efforts to evaluate these processes in global models through the ongoing NASA Atmospheric Tomography airborne mission. Lastly\, I introduce a pilot monitoring network and inverse modeling framework for methane\, the most abundant atmospheric hydrocarbon and potent greenhouse gas\, that is presently being installed to aid New York State in assessing and meeting its greenhouse-gas reduction goals.\n\nPlease join us!

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc is highly correlated with low back pain\, however\, not all disc degeneration is painful. One of the most common forms of low back pain is disc-associated low back pain in which pain originates from intervertebral disc. In disc-associated low back pain\, nerve fibers penetrate the previously aneural disc\, where they are then thought to be stimulated by the harsh catabolic environment. Repetitive stimulation of these nerve fibers can cause sensitization and chronic pain. The overarching goal of our work is to engineer biomaterials that target these two key areas of disc-associated low back pain: nerve growth and stimulation. Current clinical treatments for chronic low back pain have limited efficacy or are highly invasive. The majority of research to date focuses on regenerating a young healthy disc. We believe our approach to target nerve growth and stimulation independent of disc regeneration has the potential shift the paradigm in the treatment of low back pain.

While the practices of artists who emerged in that moment\, such as Sam Gilliam and Howardena Pindell\, have garnered increasing attention in recent years\, critical discourse has tended to either emplot them within formalist narratives that elide considerations of race and gender or to frame them in identarian frameworks that leave aside the material complexity of the artworks themselves. Copeland moves beyond this dichotomy in articulating a black feminist approach to the construction of the modern material world that considers how African American women’s vernacular strategies of making-do variously inform modernist painters’ attempts to critique both the supposed autonomy of abstraction as well as the racialized and gendered construction of the gaze in Western cultures.\n\nHuey Copeland is Interim Director of the Black Arts Initiative\, Arthur Andersen Teaching and Research Professor\, and Associate Professor of Art History at Northwestern University\, where he also enjoys affiliations with African American Studies\, Art Theory & Practice\, Critical Theory\, Gender and Sexuality Studies\, and Performance Studies. His research focuses on modern and contemporary art with an emphasis on articulations of blackness in the Western visual field. An editor of OCTOBER and a contributing editor of Artforum\, Copeland has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals as well as in numerous international exhibition catalogues and essay collections. At present\, he is at work on two complementary volumes: “In the Shadow of the Negress: Modern Art in the Transatlantic World\,” which explores the constitutive role played by fictions of black womanhood in Western art from the late 18th century to the present\, and “Touched by the Mother: On Black Men\, Artistic Practice\, and Other Feminist Horizons\, 1966–2016\,” which brings together a selection of his critical essays.

Jane Bae\nThe currently available computational power limits the utilization of direct numerical simulation (DNS) in practical engineering flow applications. In recent years\, large-eddy simulation (LES) has emerged as a viable high-fidelity tool for such flow problems\; however\, it suffers from the same computational limitations in the near-wall region. In this talk\, I will introduce a new way of modeling the wall in LES to overcome the limitation of the near-wall region. First\, the use of the slip boundary condition with transpiration for wall-modeled LES is motivated by theoretic assessment and a priori testing using DNS data. Secondly\, a dynamic slip wall model consistent with the constant stress layer in the near-wall region is presented. The dynamic slip wall model is free of any a priori specified coefficients\, unlike traditional wall models which are based on RANS models. The results show that the predictions of the mean velocity profile and turbulence intensities from the dynamic slip wall model are in good agreement with DNS and experimental data for a wide range of Reynolds numbers and grid resolutions for canonical turbulent boundary layers.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\nH. Jane Bae is a postdoctoral scholar at the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories at Caltech. She received her Ph.D. in Computational and Mathematical Engineering from Stanford University in 2018. Her main research focuses on computational fluid mechanics\, in particular on modeling and control of wall-bounded turbulence using reduced-order modeling and design and implementation of efficient solution methods.

In biochemistry\, the electrostatic potential is a dominant factor determining the preference for functional states in biomolecules such as ligand-binding or protein-protein interactions. In material science\, the function of nanoporous crystals such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks for gas storage and separation applications rely on their ability to absorb polar molecules. In electrochemistry\, the function of electrochemical cells relies on the diffusion of ions and the double-layer formation at the electrode surface. Computational modeling of these systems thereby requires an accurate description of the electrostatic interaction between the different components of these complex system. Although the ubiquitous role that long-ranged electric fields play in catalysis has been recognized\, it is seldom used as a primary design parameter in the discovery of new catalytic materials. I will present results on how electric fields have been used to computationally optimize biocatalytic performance of a synthetic enzyme\, and how they could be used as a unifying descriptor for catalytic design across a range of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. While focusing on electrostatic environmental effects may open new routes toward the rational optimization of efficient catalysts\, much more predictive capacity is required of theoretical methods to have a transformative impact in their computational design – and thus experimental relevance – when using electric field alignments in the reactive centres of complex catalytic systems. I will discuss some of these methodological advances from accurate many-body force fields under non-reactive approximations in classical molecular dynamics\, to reactive force fields to describe chemical reactions where charge flow is an essential process. \n \nTeresa Head-Gordon (University of California\, Berkeley) UID:64042-16101236@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64042 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200327T123023 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Debunking the NSA Security Clearance Process Webinar DESCRIPTION:Find out about each step of the security clearance process\, including the polygraph.

In this talk\, Purnaprajna shows how modern algebraic geometry inspired by ideas and methods of Alexander Grothendieck sheds light on the connection between different genres of music. He develops a meta geometric framework which gives raise to the so called “Metaraga system”\; a system with its own grammar and syntax. This integrates elements of Indian and Western classical music\, jazz and the blues. Moreover it gives rise to a music with no vantage point of east or west. Metaraga system’s mathematical under pinning lies in category theoretic algebraic geometry\, and Grothendieck like topologies.

Participants learn how to view their thoughts without judgment.\nMBCT is about equipping participants with the ability to regulate one’s own thoughts and moods and to put new skills into practice in the way they are most useful to each client. MBCT helps flip the script in a way\, empowering participants\, helping them step into a well-fortified position and giving them the tools and the knowledge to help themselves at any stage of life.\nThe next session is scheduled to begin January 23\, 2020 and runs for eight weeks. Participants will meet weekly\, on Thursdays from 5-7:30 p.m. \nIf you are interested in attending or referring a potential group participant\, please contact the Psychological Clinic to begin the process.

Visit our Witness Lab page for an ever-evolving list of opportunities to see the Witness Lab project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J.

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.
