In this Teach-Out\, you will explore the origins of Earth Day 1970 with student activists from Environmental Action for Survival (ENACT)\, an environmental student group from the University of Michigan\, whose efforts led to a massive “Teach-In on the Environment” which drew tens of thousands of people. This was just one of many teach-in events that took place in 1970 and kicked-off Earth Day as we know it.\n\n50 years later\, you are invited to this “Teach-Out” to engage in an intergenerational and interdisciplinary conversion about what sustainability means across different sectors\, disciplines\, and lived experiences. You will explore themes including global sustainability efforts\, climate change\, environmental justice\, and more\, to inspire you to take action on Earth Day and beyond. Together\, we will collectively develop visions for a sustainable\, just\, and peaceful world.

Clements\, the Clements Library is a treasure house of American history. It collects\, preserves\, and makes available primary sources about the Americas\, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century Americana. Drawing upon all four divisions of materials – books\, manuscripts\, maps and graphics – this display presents a small sampling of reproductions of the internationally significant holdings at the Clements and illustrates some topical strengths of the collections.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

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.

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:68986-17207431@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.

The synthesis of certain chiral amines remains a synthetic challenge. Presented herein is an unusual approach to chiral amine synthesis that utilizes the spontaneous rearrangement of allylic azides (Winstein Rearrangement). One component of the equilibrating mixture can be selectively trapped\, establishing the amine bearing stereocenter. However\, accomplishing this in practice requires high levels of selectivity and the simultaneous application of numerous control elements. Approaches to enabling selectivity will be described along with synthetic applications of the reactions\, including in the synthesis of heterocyclic products. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoseph Topczewski (University of Minnesota) UID:67854-16960495@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67854 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T163026 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200407T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200407T133000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:[POSTPONED] Contemporary Issues Discussion: Death and Grief DESCRIPTION:* Update 3-12-20: This event has been postponed.

The medieval empires of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Tang\, a millennium and a half or so later\, were naturally utterly different in nature\, structure\, and complexity from the old Bronze-age kingdoms recorded and mythologized in the classics\, but they nonetheless operated under a sort of contractual obligation to represent their own functioning as a continuation or restoration of those mythic sagely kingdoms. This talk\, centering on medieval traditions of court speech and related aspects of examination and educational culture\, explores the processes of historical “translation” through which medieval rulers and their ministers strove to carry on this responsive and exaltative function as they understood it.\n \nRobert Ashmore is Associate Professor of Chinese in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of California\, Berkeley. His main research interests lie in the literary and scholarly traditions of early medieval to Tang and Song China\, with particular focus on questions of music and performance\, hermeneutical thought\, and commentarial practice.\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.

After leaving Ottoman Greater Syria\, Syrians sold goods across the U.S. while navigating systems of racism that intertwined with gender and sexual norms. Peddling enabled their survival and transformed their family structure. Syrian women participated robustly in the peddling economy and their diverse forms of labor attracted scrutiny\, particularly from social welfare reformers. I read the social welfare archive for the associations between transience\, transgressions of women’s roles\, sexual non-normativity\, and Orientalist tropes of difference in order to consider how Syrian women were racialized through their participation in peddling economies. This analysis shows how Syrian women’s peddling practices were directly at odds with notions of white\, middle class femininity and thus a threat to some Syrians’ claims of whiteness. This talk also illuminates internal Syrian dynamics of class and its intersections with gender\, examining Syrian women both as “clients” of social welfare and as social reformers themselves.

The language we learn to speak as children is entirely based on the speech we hear around us\, and as adults\, we even match our pronunciations to those of others in our social groups. What are the evolutionary origins of this vocal flexibility? Our closest living relatives\, the nonhuman primates\, are born with the ability to produce all of their vocalizations. However\, they may adjust their vocalizations in more subtle ways to match those of others in their social groups\, just as humans do. Using acoustic analysis methods\, I assessed whether the calls of gelada monkeys\, a highly vocal primate species\, differed across social groups. In this talk\, I will share my findings and discuss a possible spatial cohesion function for vocal matching in this species.

Additionally\, their axons innervate two main image-forming visual nuclei: the superior colliculus (SC) and the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Furthermore\, electrophysiology data discovered that ipRGCs signal to dopaminergic amacrine cells via AMPA/Kainate glutamate receptors and to displaced amacrine cells (ACs) located in the ganglion cell layer of the retina through gap junctions. Retinal ganglion cells had never been found to signal intraretinally prior to this finding. \n\nSeveral labs have been exploring how ipRGCs mediate or modulate image-forming vision through their central projections and signaling to dopaminergic ACs. However\, little is known about the functional roles of gap-junction signaling from ipRGCs to displaced ACs and how ipRGCs work in conjunction with rod and cone photoreceptors to mediate image-forming visual responses. Neurobiotin tracer injections\, immunostaining\, and optokinetic visual behavior techniques were used in this thesis to fill in this knowledge gap. Four specific aims were accomplished: 1) understand how ipRGC-coupled ACs are distributed across the retina and identify ipRGC-coupled ACs\, 2) test the hypothesis that connexin36 (Cx36) couples ipRGCs to displaced ACs\, 3) examine the effect of glutamatergic input on ipRGC-AC coupling\, and 4) assess the effect of rods\, cones and melanopsin on image-forming behavior.\n\nWe found that all six ipRGC types are electrically coupled to amacrine cells\, primarily via Cx36 and a few ipRGC-coupled amacrine cells are bNOS\, nNOS\, NPY or 5-HT immunopositive. ipRGC-AC coupling is enhanced in the presence of NMDA receptor expression in ipRGCs. We found the distribution of ipRGC-coupled amacrine cells is region specific\, and rods\, cones and melanopsin contribute to image-forming vision differently. Because ipRGCs remain light-sensitive in many blind patients suffering from rod and cone degeneration\, a better understanding of the signaling ipRGCs could lead to novel strategies to restore sight in such patients.

How food is procured and prepared impacts environments and our own cultural identities today\, and this is no difference in prehistoric times. This talk will engage the audience what Dr. Lee and her team have found on food culture of over 8\,000 years in Korea. One of the key questions is how prehistoric communities managed various food resources and constructed sustainable niches over the long term before\, during\, and after farming began. Examples come from diverse landscapes\, including hilly sand dunes on the east coast\, alluvial flats along the Nam River\, coastal inlets of Busan harbor\, and Jeju Island. Food culture flourished well before the recipe was written.\n \n Gyoung-Ah Lee is an archaeologist investigating ancient human-environment interactions and cultural niche construction in prehistoric Asia. Her work deals primarily with the long transition from hunting and gathering to dependence on farming for food\, and has been featured in media outlets ranging from scientific journals to NPR. She and her research team secured various funding from the Korean Studies Promotion Service\, the Henry Luce Foundation\, National Geographic\, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada\, and more. While focused in Asia\, her research spans the globe\, and she has led archaeological projects and participated in excavations in Australia\, Canada\, China\, Indonesia\, Korea\, and Vietnam. Since 2007 she has been based at the University of Oregon\, in Eugene\, as a member of the faculty of Anthropology.\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.
