In-Between the World and Dreams (October 8, 2020 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/77738 77738-19909802@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 8, 2020 12:00am
Location:
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

In this 3-part installation, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world.

At the U-M Museum of Art, massive, quilt-like panels cover 4,452 square feet of the exterior of the building, creating one of the spectacular architectural interventions Mahama is known for. A related installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery can be viewed (and heard) from a sidewalk window. There will also be an installation inside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.

Mahama's artistic practice illustrates, as he explains, how art education, art and cultural opportunities "allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge, not only of themselves, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves."

Enveloping the contours of a museum building or wall, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.

The project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.

Oct. 1-23: Large-Scale Public Art Installation, U-M Museum of Art, 525 S. State St., Ann Arbor
Oct. 1-23: Sidewalk Gallery, Institute for the Humanities Gallery, 202 S. Thayer St., Ann Arbor (viewing from the gallery window only)
Oct. 12-Dec. 5: Community Gallery Installation, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, 315 E. Warren Ave., Detroit

CSEAS Virtual Viewing. *A Thousand Cuts* (October 8, 2020 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/76413 76413-19838079@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 8, 2020 8:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

For a limited time, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing. For instructions, please email cseas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘A Thousand Cuts’”

About the movie:
On June 15, 2020, journalist Maria Ressa was found guilty of cyber libel, setting a ticking clock on the limited time she has to get her story out to the world and keep the fight for democracy alive in this all too familiar tale of an autocratic leader drowning out “fake news.” Nowhere is the worldwide erosion of democracy, fueled by social media disinformation campaigns, more starkly evident than in the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Ressa places the tools of the free press—and her freedom—on the line in defense of truth and democracy. Ramona S. Diaz’s thrilling film follows key players from two sides of an increasingly dangerous war between press and government. As each side digs in, we become witness to an epic and ongoing fight for the integrity of human life and truth itself—a conflict that extends beyond the Philippines into our own divisive backyard. A Film by Ramona S. Diaz (IMELDA, MOTHERLAND).

Cosponsored by the Michigan Theater.

Building and Preserving Affordable Housing in the United States: Federal Resources and Local Efforts (October 8, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/75675 75675-19560797@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 8, 2020 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

In the United States only one out of every four eligible low-income households is able to live in a subsidized housing unit. This limited supply of affordable housing is also shrinking. This talk will first provide an overview of the major federal affordable housing programs. Using Detroit as an example, it will then examine the recent efforts of producing and preserving affordable housing under the country’s largest affordable housing production program, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.

Lan Deng is an Associate Professor of Urban & Regional Planning at the University of Michigan. She studies housing and real estate development in both the U.S. and China. In both countries she has conducted extensive research to examine the different types of interventions directed towards housing and real estate development. Her research seeks to examine the outcomes of these interventions and how they were shaped by both market forces as well as institutional choices.

This is the fIfth of a six-lecture series. The subject of the series is: Poverty, Inequity and Disparity. The next lecture will be October 15, 2020. The title is: From the Edge of the Ghetto: The Quest of Small City African-Americans to Survive Post-Industrialism.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the event.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (October 8, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207588@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 8, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. 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.

Support 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

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Study abroad is not just for juniors. It's not just for language and international studies majors. It's not just for students from certain communities or socioeconomic backgrounds. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you’re studying, a study abroad experience is available to you during your time at Michigan.

Whether you want to develop the skills you’ll need to compete in a global economy, cultivate your language competencies, or build meaningful connections with people from around the world, this is the best time in your life for a global experience.

Studying abroad often proves to be a pivotal experience, but deciding which program is the best fit can be daunting as you consider questions such as: How will this enhance my course of study? When should I go? For how long? Where? Can I afford it? How do I prepare? Will my credits transfer? The CGIS Study Abroad Virtual Fair is the best time to get all of your questions answered!

During the day of the virtual fair, you'll have instant access to academic advisors, education abroad advisors, Office of Financial Aid & LSA Scholarship Office representatives, and program representatives as well as scheduled events throughout the fair!

Looking at Naturalist Fiction and the I-Novel Transnationally (October 8, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75606 75606-19544898@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 8, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

After the naturalist approach to writing fiction crystallized in France in the 1860s, writers around the world embraced it. By the 1920s this kind of realistic fiction could be found from the Americas to East Asia, including the Japanese version known as the I-novel. Far from a story of influence, a close look at naturalist novels and stories written in different parts of the world shows writers departing from metropolitan models as they confronted new social conditions.

Christopher Hill is Associate Professor of Japanese Literature in the department of Asian Languages and Cultures. With a background in comparative literature, he writes frequently on literature and intellectual history from a transnational or global perspective. His first book, *National History and the World of Nations* (Duke University Press, 2009), was on the impact of nationalism on historical writing in late nineteenth-century Japan, France, and the United States. He has just published *Figures of the World: The Naturalist Novel and Transnational Form* (Northwestern University Press, 2020), on the global history of naturalist fiction. He is currently writing about postwar Japanese writers' responses to the decolonization of Africa and Asia.

Discussant: Christi Merrill, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature; Associate Professor of South Asian Literature and Postcolonial Theory.

The course will consist of 2 sessions that include discussions with two national experts:
• Session 1: The Surge in Populism and Implications for Democracy/Autocracy. Pauline Jones, Professor at UM & Director UM International Institute
• Session 2: Building & Re-Building Stable Democracies (or How to Survive Autocracy). Sheri Berman, Professor at Barnard College

SEMINAR: "Measuring and Mitigating Challenges for Future Human Spaceflight Missions" — Allison Anderson (October 8, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76873 76873-19772611@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 8, 2020 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering

The Departmental Seminar Series is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.

Title:
Measuring and Mitigating Challenges for Future Human Spaceflight Missions

Abstract:
The future of human spaceflight will send people away from the Earth for longer durations to explore the surface of the moon or Mars. The challenges associated with missions of this magnitude will require advances in technology to resolve these issues in early stages of design. Improved ways to evaluate habitat design, human factors, and perform ergonomics evaluation of spacecraft are needed. These missions will require increased crew autonomy and associated decision support. Additional countermeasures are needed to maintain human performance in operational, isolated, confined environments. These missions will also require novel spacesuits that minimized restricted mobility and injuries. This talk will discuss my research to measure and mitigate these issues. This research, while focused on individuals in extreme environments also has direct implications for patient populations here on Earth.

Bio:
Dr. Anderson graduated in 2007 with a B.S. in Astronautics Engineering from the University of Southern California with a minor in Astronomy. She received an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering and an M.S. in Technology Policy in 2011 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a Ph.D. in Aerospace Biomedical Engineering in 2014 from MIT. She received a postdoctoral fellowship from the National Space Biomedical Research Institute to work at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center studying human space physiology. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado – Boulder Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences and an Adjunct Professor in Integrative Physiology. Her work focuses on aerospace biomedical engineering, spacesuit design, wearable sensors, spacecraft habitat design, alternative reality technologies, and human physiology in extreme environments. Specifically, her work is directed toward enabling a human mission to Mars.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ginsberg Center

Campus Compact’s 2020-2021 national webinar series takes the great and varied work happening on the ground around the country and brings it straight to your desk.

Stanford University's Haas Center for Public Service has collaborated with 55 public, private, two- and four-year institutions since 2013 to develop an innovative holistic framework: "Pathways of Public Service and Civic Engagement." The pathways describe a range of possibilities by which students can contribute to the common good: community-engaged learning/research; community organizing/activism; direct service; philanthropy; policy/governance; and social entrepreneurship/corporate social responsibility. The framework guides students in exploring how the pathways differ from each other in language, practice, and impact, and how pathways might intersect to effect social change.

A free online survey surfaces student predispositions and interests toward the pathways; opens students' eyes to lifelong career, engagement, and leadership opportunities; and assists community engagement practitioners in developing relevant programming. Presenters will share multi-institution research resulting from the survey. Survey data informs practitioners, who can place students in community settings where they have strong pathway inclinations, encourage students to explore pathways they hadn't considered, or ensure they experience all six pathways in multiple placements during college. Each pathway provides students with experience they can use with high-impact practices in curricular and co-curricular settings, and in the workplace and civil society.

TITLE: Precipitation isotopes in the Andean Coastal Cordillera reflect the transition between Atlantic and Pacific moisture influence sub-seasonally

ABSTRACT: The western rain-shadow of the Andes mountains is an extremely arid region stretching from Peru through Chile, but is home to millions of people and associated infrastructure. While rainfall is important for water resources and supporting native vegetation, infrequent extreme rainfall events cause costly damage to human life and property. Just in the past several years, there have been extreme rain events in Northern Peru (2015 and 2017) and the Atacama Desert (2015, 2017, and 2019). This region is a transition zone between Atlantic and Pacific moisture influence driven by atmospheric circulation and coastal conditions. The conditions that produce rain in this region are still not fully understood, especially the role that Pacific sea surface temperatures play. Daily rainfall in Arequipa in southern Peru, near the arid Andean Coastal Cordillera, was analyzed for stable water isotope composition during the 2019 wet season to better understand rainfall processes. During anomalously warm coastal sea surface temperatures, Pacific influence was identified, and the isotopic values were more depleted at the 2,328 masl observation location. Improved understanding of regional moisture sources and rain events in this region can aid communities in managing critical water supplies and mitigating flood damage in the future, inform studies of coupled atmosphere-ocean-cloud feedbacks in the tropics, as well as provide insight into paleoclimate studies in this region. This presentation will also describe some of the unique natural ecological and agricultural systems in this arid region.

Prof. Nancy Leveson
Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Aerospace and other systems are becoming increasingly complex and software-intensive. At the same time, human roles are changing along with the types of errors that the operators of these systems are making. These changes in engineering are leading to new causes of accidents. But the traditional approaches to safety engineering, created 50 to 70 years ago, are based on assumptions about system design that are no longer true. In this presentation I’ll suggest what is needed to prevent unnecessary losses, including a paradigm change in how we think about and deal with safety, i.e., basing system engineering on system theory (which is where it started a long time ago).

System theory provides the ability to overcome the deficiencies of traditional analytic reduction and to create new, more powerful approaches to the safety and security of today’s and tomorrow’s systems. Our new systems-theoretic approach to safety is being used successfully in just about every industry around the world and on the most complex systems humans have tried to create. It has been shown through both scientific evaluation and empirical use to be both more powerful and less expensive than the traditional approaches.

About the speaker...

Nancy Leveson is Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT. Prof. Leveson conducts research on all aspects of system safety including modeling and analysis, design, operations, management, and and human factors and the larger arena of system engineering. Her techniques are used in a wide variety of safety-critical industries including aerospace, transportation, chemical plants, nuclear power, medical devices, and many others. One particular common element throughout all her work is an emphasis on applying systems theory to complex systems. She has received many honors, most recently the 2020 IEEE Medal for Environmental and Safety Technologies. She was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2000.

Dr. Leveson is author of two books: Safeware: System Safety and Computers (1995) published by Addison-Wesley and Engineering a Safer World (2012) published by MIT Press. She consults extensively in many industries on the ways to prevent accidents and has served on numerous national and international committees and accident investigations including being an expert consultant for the Columbia Accident Investigation Board, the Presidential Commission on Deepwater Horizon, the Baker Panel on the Texas City explosion, and a Navy committee investigating one of the V-22 Osprey accidents as well as lesser-known accidents.

Anti-Racism Peer-Led Teach-In

Racial justice begins with anti-racism. Anti-racism is the active process of identifying and eliminating racism by changing systems, organizational structures, policies, practices, and attitudes so that power is redistributed and shared equitably (University of Calgary). This peer-led teach-in will engage analytical frameworks for examining systemic cultural, social, economic, and political forces in the community along with individual reflection. Our hope is to raise critical consciousness, understand the opportunity for actions, and how our resources can be distributed.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

Define anti-racism
Identify 1-2 examples of how racism manifests in daily lives
Recognize their participation in a racist system
Identify structural racism, and
Develop 1-2 action steps

This teach-in is offered as part of the Latinx Heritage Month Program.

Organized By: Michigan Engineering

Michigan Engineering is working towards launching sustained, pervasive education around issues of race, ethnicity, unconscious bias and inclusion for everyone in Engineering – students, faculty and staff – within one year.

We have assembled a number of Community Teams to develop five proposals to bring DEI education and awareness, with an initial focus on race and ethnicity, to all persons in the Michigan Engineering community.

The proposals were developed to provide opportunities to expand our collective knowledge on matters related to diversity, equity and inclusion. 

EnginTalks is just one of many forums to come where our community can ask questions and most importantly, share ideas and recommendations regarding the proposals.

“Art and protest will forever be bound together. And the beautiful thing about art, like activism, is that it allows us space to be curious and learn. Sharing art has helped me learn how to make my voice heard and ask better questions. If being in the arts has taught me anything, it is that one of the wisest things anyone can say is “I don’t know.”

Join the Young Creatives Book Club follow-up discussion to This is What I Know About Art, featuring a Zoom Q+A with author Kimberly Drew,American art curator, writer, and former social media manager for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Get inspired to challenge the status quo and create change through your artmaking.

Organized By: Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Program

Thank you for your interest in joining WISE for a movie night!

WISE will stream the movie Okja on our Discord while you share your thoughts in the chat. We will meet at 7PM Thursday, October 8.

Okja is a Korean-American movie written and director by Bong Joon-Ho who made Parasite. Our theme for this semester has been the ways that STEM can be used to help people-- and the ways STEM can be used to do harm. Okja is partially about scary Tilda Swinton using STEM for greed and evil, and mostly about adorable animals, family, the meaning of happiness, and the power of organized activism and one passionate little girl to make a difference.

The movie is in a mix of English and Korean with English subtitles.

More information on the film below:
In 1997, Fox Rich and Rob G. Rich were newly married high school sweethearts trying to start a business in Shreveport, Louisiana, when a moment of desperation led to a botched bank robbery that landed them both in jail. Fox served three and a half years; Rob was sentenced to 60. When Fox emerged, she dedicated her life to getting her husband out of prison and raising their six boys. Time cross-cuts footage from the past and present, framing it with a lyrical voiceover from Fox and her sons to provide a uniquely intimate perspective into the long-term costs of incarceration: the children who grow up without fathers, and the mothers who are forced to become caregivers and legal experts all at once.
TIME is directed by Garrett Bradley (Alone, America) and produced by Lauren Domino (The Earth Is Humming, America), Kellen Quinn (Midnight Family, Brimstone & Glory) and Garrett Bradley. Executive producers are Laurene Powell Jobs (The Price of Free, A Thousand Cuts), Davis Guggenheim (Waiting for ‘Superman,’ An Inconvenient Truth – 2014 Academy Award® winner for Best Feature Documentary), Nicole Stott (Searching for Sugar Man, Restrepo), Rahdi Taylor (Minding the Gap, I Am Not Your Negro) and Kathleen Lingo (Walk Run Cha Cha, 4.1 Miles). Co-executive producers are Jonathan Silberberg (Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, “Iconoclasts”) and Shannon Dill (Inheritance, He Named Me Malala).
