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. \n\nMahama'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.\"\n\nEnveloping 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nOct. 1-23: Large-Scale Public Art Installation\, U-M Museum of Art\, 525 S.

For instructions\, please email cseas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘A Thousand Cuts’”\n\nAbout the movie:\nOn 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).\n\nCosponsored by the Michigan Theater.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama'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.\"\n\nEnveloping 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, Detroit. \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W.

Techniques of withholding and misdirection help us keep suspense alive in literary fiction.\n\n\nTea Obreht’s *New York Times* bestselling novel\, *Inland*\, is grounded in true but little-known history of the lawless\, drought-ridden lands of the Arizona Territory in 1893. Mythical\, lyrical\, and sweeping in scope\, the novel subverts and reimagines the myths of the American West.\n\nArriving onto the literary scene with her first bestselling novel\, *The Tiger’s Wife*\, Téa Obreht writes fiction that explores themes of narrative\, myth and memory. Weaving a brilliant latticework of family legend\, loss\, and love\, Obreht’s stunning debut novel links the past and present by stories and anecdotes in an unnamed Balkan country mending from war. Rapturously received\, *The Tiger’s Wife* won the 2011 Orange Prize for Fiction\, was a 2011 National Book Award finalist\, was an international bestseller\, and was named one of the best books of the year by numerous publications including *The New York Times Book Review*\, *Publisher's Weekly*\, *Vogue*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, and *O: The Oprah Magazine*. \n\nIn *Inland*\, Obreht's second novel\, Obreht takes on the sweeping mythology of the American West\, reimagining myths and forging new truths about the American West. An Editor's Choice\, T*he New York Times Book Review* praised *Inland*\, \"Obreht’s simple but rich prose captures and luxuriates in the West’s beauty and sudden menace. Remarkable in a novel with such a sprawling cast\, Obreht also has a poetic touch for writing intricate and precise character descriptions.” The book was named among President Obama’s summer reading list for 2019. \n\nObreht's work has been anthologized in *The Best American Short Stories* and *The Best American Non-Required Reading*\, and has appeared in *The New Yorker*\, *Harper's*\, *The Atlantic*\, *Vogue*\, *Esquire* and *Zoetrope: All-Story*\, among many others. A recipient of fellowships from the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library and the National Endowment for the Arts\, Obreht. was named by *The New Yorker* as one of the twenty best American fiction writers under forty. She lives in New York with her husband\, and teaches at Hunter College.\n\n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64\, LLDHon ’13).

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.

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.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more!

We recently identified a class of small molecules that bind the human ribosome and selectively stall the translation of a small subset of proteins. I will present biochemical and cell-based experiments\, along with structures of human ribosome nascent chain complexes (RNCs) stalled by these compounds\, determined by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). These small molecules bind in the ribosome exit tunnel in a eukaryotic-specific pocket formed by the 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and arrest the translating ribosome through their interactions with the growing polypeptide chain. Intriguingly\, a given compound can either inhibit or enhance translation\, depending on the sequence of the protein nascent chain. These results begin to reveal how small molecules can be made to control human translation and suggest a new strategy for developing small molecules that selectively inhibit or enhance the production of proteins previously considered “undruggable.” UID:77916-19941582@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/77916 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biophysics,Chemistry,seminar,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201031T063044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201016T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:CVS Health: General Management Corporate Internships and After-College Rotational Development Program Information Session (Northeast) DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about our Corporate General Management Internship and After-College Rotational Program.

A reality which complicates these claims and separation of powers research is that bureaucrats frequently play a role in creating the laws which ultimately govern their behavior. This project examines the extent to which bureaucrats attempt to and succeed in securing their preferred statutory language. I track bills introduced at bureaucrats’ request across 11 state legislatures. Legislatures extensively draw from agencies’ expertise in forming the agenda and crafting session law\, with 9% of introduced bills and 21% of law coming from bureaucrats. A difference-in-differences analysis shows that committee chairs and legislators in the majority introduce more administration-initiated bills. Bureaucrats’ extensive involvement in crafting statutory law and increased use in less professional legislatures imply that extant statutory control studies miss an important interaction.\n\nMary Kroeger is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill. Her research interests are in U.S. state politics\, American political institutions\, bureaucratic-legislative interactions\, policy diffusion\, and quantitative methods.\n--\nAIG is a group of graduate students and faculty who meet to discuss American institutions.

This series of workshops helps scholars avoid outdated projects\, unpreserved knowledge\, uncredited labor\, and privacy or consent issues by emphasizing process in the project life cycle. Workshop participants learn how to conceptualize the life cycle of a project using human-centered design and backwards modeling when planning their projects to better understand how to version\, archive\, and preserve their research projects. Throughout the series\, thematic questions around sustainability\, preservation\, accessibility\, privacy\, consent\, grant requirements\, and teaching with research will be examined. We encourage you to come with a project in mind and bring materials if available\, but is not required to attend.\n\nZoom link provided after registration: https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/sessions/digital-scholarship-101-planning-your-project-2/ UID:77969-19947523@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/77969 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Digital Humanities,Digital Projects,Digital Scholarship,Ds 101,Faculty,Graduate Students,Humanities,Library,Lsa,Qualitative Social Sciences,research LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210203T114618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201016T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201016T142000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: Selling two identical objects (Joint work with Sushil Bikhchandani) DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n It is well-known that optimal (i.e.\, revenue-maximizing) selling mechanisms in multidimensional type spaces may involve randomization. We study mechanisms for selling two identical\, indivisible objects to a single buyer. We analyze two settings: (i) decreasing marginal values (DMV) and (ii) increasing marginal values (IMV). Thus\, the two marginal values of the buyer are not independent. We obtain sufficient conditions on the distribution of buyer values for the existence of an optimal mechanism that is deterministic.\n In the DMV model\, we show that under a well-known condition\, it is optimal to sell the first unit deterministically. Under the same sufficient condition\, a bundling mechanism (which is deterministic) is optimal in the IMV model. Under a stronger sufficient condition\, a deterministic mechanism is optimal in the DMV model.\n Our results apply to heterogenous objects when there is a specified sequence in which the two objects must be sold.

To this day\, the absent presence of the tenth Panchen Lama looms large in those regions\, where Tibetans lament the loss of his advocacy and voice amidst intensifying state-led development pressures. She takes up Uradyn Bulag's critique to reject the positivist\, textualist\, and statist premises of \"oral history\" in favor of a linguistic anthropological approach to narrative as a multimodal and dialogic process of (dis)embodying selves and others in spaces and times. Professor Makley asks\, in the context of intensifying surveillance and central state-led censorship\, can our Tibetan interlocutors' awkward silences and earnest affirmations\, the un- or under-said of their stories about the tenth Panchen Lama\, be taken as a politics of refusal that\, in the telling\, itself works to re-constitute his fugitive presence\, and by proxy that of a Tibetan sociality and future currently being erased?\n \n Charlene Makley is Professor of Anthropology at Reed College in Portland\, Oregon. Her work has explored the history and cultural politics of state-building\, state-led development and Buddhist revival among Tibetans in China's restive frontier zone (SE Qinghai and SW Gansu provinces) since 1992. Her analyses draw especially on methodologies from linguistic and economic anthropology\, gender and media studies\, and studies of religion and ritual that unpack the semiotic and pragmatic specificities of intersubjective communication\, exchange\, personhood and value. Her first book\, \"The Violence of Liberation: Gender and Tibetan Buddhist Revival in Post-Mao China\,\" was published by University of Californian Press in 2007. Her second book\, \"The Battle for Fortune: State-Led Development\, Personhood and Power among Tibetans in China\,\" published in 2018 by Cornell University Press and the Weatherhead East Asia Institute at Columbia University\, is an ethnography of state-local relations in the historically Tibetan region of Rebgong (SE Qinghai province) in the wake of China's Great Open the West campaign and during the 2008 military crackdown on Tibetan unrest. The book brings anthropological theories of states\, development and personhood into dialogue with recent interdisciplinary debates about the very nature of human subjectivity\, agency\, and relations with nonhuman others (including deities).\n\nZoom webinar registration: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wxxn3CL2QUCltYYupoSFKw\n \nFor more information about her research projects\, publications\, courses\, and media archives\, visit her website: http://academic.reed.edu/anthro/makley/index.html or her Academia.edu page: https://reed.academia.edu/CharleneMakley.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

The social efforts often reflect strong corporate citizenship cultures at these companies. Many engineers are seeking to work for companies that are engaging in these types of projects. During this seminar the speaker will highlight such efforts within a heavy manufacturing entity\, in this case the automotive sector. Such efforts can be easily aligned with potential efforts within the aerospace industry.\n\nAbout the speaker…\n\nJohn Viera was most recently the former Global Director\, Sustainability & Vehicle Environmental Matters at Ford Motor Company\, a position he held since January\, 2007. Mr. Viera was responsible for developing global sustainable business plans and policies\, interfacing with global regulatory bodies\, reporting externally on the company’s environmental and social performance\, and leading the company’s engagement and partnerships with non-government organizations (NGOs) and other external stakeholders.\n \nViera has held several positions within Ford Motor Company during his 30 year tenure. For the first thirteen years of his career\, he worked in the company’s Truck Division with responsibilities that included leading the Company efforts in the development of its first natural gas-fueled pickup trucks and also leading the Company’s Global Truck Computer Aided Design organization.\n \nIn 1997\, Viera was appointed manager\, Plant Engineering Vehicle Team\, Explorer and Mountaineer programs. Located in Louisville\, Kentucky\, Viera was responsible for all on-site engineering personnel for Explorer plants in Louisville\, St. Louis\, Missouri\, and Valencia\, Venezuela. He returned to Michigan in 1999 to become the chief engineer for the Ranger Compact Pickup and Electric Ranger. In 2002\, Viera took on the company’s mid-term cost reduction initiative\, building a team which delivered $1.2 billion of savings in eighteen months\, beating his assigned target by over a year. In 2003\, Viera became chief engineer for the Expedition and Navigator Full Size SUVs\, with complete responsibility for current and future model programs.\n \nMr. Viera recently served on the advisory boards at Georgia Tech in Atlanta\, the Graham Institute of Environmental Sustainability at the University of Michigan\, the advisory board of Sustainable Brands\, and the Energy Advisory Committee at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago\, as well as the chair of the Department of Homeland Security’s Sustainability and Efficiency Task Force in Washington\, D.C.\n \nA native of Chicago\, Viera attended the University of Michigan\, receiving his Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1984 as well as a Masters in Business Administration in 1992.

We have previously argued that this Temporal Contiguity Effect arises from fundamental memory mechanisms that operate whenever episodic memories are encoded and retrieved. Consistent with this interpretation\, the Temporal Contiguity Effect is pervasive and robust: almost without exception\, studies that have looked for it\, have found it. But perhaps we have not looked hard enough. The vast majority of these studies use deliberate list learning tasks\, such tasks likely recruit many strategic control processes that would be unique to rote learning. Thus\, one can doubt whether the contiguity effect should be elevated to the status of a general principle of memory as suggested by some theories. To explore this concern\, I draw together data from recent work in my lab. This work shows that the Temporal Contiguity Effect is real—it is not a phenomenon of rote learning. However\, the work also shows that we are a long way from a full understanding of how temporal associations interact with the control processes that govern memory encoding and search.

It was the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of ALL women protected and enforced\, and intimidation tactics progressively eliminated.  The Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote poster campaign\, organized by AIGA in partnership with the League of Women Voters\, commemorates this milestone. A core group of invited women of design submitted the first 65 non-partisan posters\, to launch the initiative with their vision and voices. Through the posters\, these women joined forces to collectively contribute to dialogue in design and society. This moment in history is an incredible opportunity to catalyze women in design\, voting rights\, citizenship\, community\, and diversity. The collection aspires to not only support present day voter participation\, but to also serve as a backdrop for discourse and examination of the history of voting rights and women’s fight for equality.  The poster initiative continues at aiga.org/vote\, where AIGA members can contribute posters to motivate the American public to register and turn out to vote in the 2020 general election\, as well as local elections to come. Posters are available for free download online.\n\nThe Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote exhibition at Stamps Gallery includes a selection of the 65 posters chosen by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V. Johnson\, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo\, Endi Poskovic\, Destini Riley\, and Stamps Gallery.

Intentionally minimal\, each image distills an interaction\, traumatic incident\, or power imbalance into an accessible visual narrative. Recognizable objects such as chairs\, roots\, ladders\, or spotlights set the stage for the story to unfold. Events are captured midstream\, suspended in time like a felt film still.\n\nThe exhibition is inspired\, in part\, by the courage\, testimony\, and experiences of women (like Christine Blasey Ford) who publicly report assault\, harassment\, or misconduct. The #MeToo movement gave voice to thousands of women to tell their personal stories\, but also exposed a hostile backlash meant to silence them. The title\, “Real and Imagined\,” is a deliberate contradiction\; if one is true\, the other must not be. In practice\, however\, both terms are used to reference a woman’s testimony and determine how it is publicly interpreted. Her account is accepted as truthful by many and simultaneously dismissed as imaginary by the court of public opinion: “her memory is wrong\,” “she imagined it.”\n\nThe works in “Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations” make difficult conversations and relationships tangible by stripping them down to their essentials.\n\nWordless physical gestures highlight the psychological and emotional forces at play behind even the smallest of interactions.\n\nBiography\nHeidi Kumao has created award-winning experimental films\, video installations\, cinema machines\, electronic clothing\, and kinetic sculptures.

The history of the Caucasus in general\, and Armenia in particular\, is replete with examples of individuals and groups reworking – or resisting – artistic\, social\, and religious elements from their neighbors in a complex and ongoing process of cultural negotiation\, transcending any single language or territory.\n \n This workshop will examine the history of the Caucasus from a long-neglected site of encounter – the combination and recombination of multiple media and forms of cultural production. In what ways might\, for instance\, medieval Armenian ballads\, heterographic wonder tales\, or modern filmmaking mediate different histories of shared\, fraught space? How do the past and present meet and negotiate the meaning of the other in various forms of cultural labor? Or\, more simply: how might a history of this space and its shared regions morph and shift across different media?\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at armenianstudies@umich.edu.

The correspondence relies on the fact that many asymptotic neural networks are drawn from Gaussian processes\, the analog of non-interacting field theories. Moving away from the asymptotic limit yields a non-Gaussian process and corresponds to turning on particle interactions\, allowing for the computation of correlation functions of neural network outputs with Feynman diagrams. Minimal non-Gaussian process likelihoods are determined by the most relevant non-Gaussian terms\, according to the flow in their coefficients induced by the Wilsonian renormalization group. This yields a direct connection between overparameterization and simplicity of neural network likelihoods. Whether the coefficients are constants or functions may be understood in terms of GP limit symmetries\, as expected from 't Hooft's technical naturalness. General theoretical calculations are matched to neural network experiments in the simplest class of models allowing the correspondence. Our formalism is valid for any of the many architectures that becomes a GP in an asymptotic limit\, a property preserved under certain types of training.

Unlike current theorizations of primitive accumulation that prioritize explicit expropriation for capitalist production\, my account\ncenters on the role of temporality in the Maasai political struggle to illustrate how the material and symbolic dimensions of primitive accumulation interlock. I show how states and conservationist groups justify and naturalize colonial and capitalist organizations of space by\ndrawing temporal distinctions between nature and civilization and between non-capitalist and capitalist systems. This study locates temporality as a key dimension of analysis and political struggle. It analyzes how efforts to mitigate the harms of capitalism often reproduce its temporality to the detriment of colonized peoples\, and it provokes engagement with Indigenous conceptions of time that generate critical approaches to human and environmental relations.\n\n--\nThe Political Theory Workshop provides a venue for political theory-oriented scholarship broadly construed. Participants include theoretically-inclined members of social science and humanities departments across the University of Michigan\, as well as institutions throughout southwest Michigan.

Large impacts likely dominated the evolution of all ancient planetary crusts. Despite their important role\, the formation of multiring basins and their concentric topographic rings is poorly understood. In this talk I will present simulations of the formation of lunar multiring basins that directly resolve ring formation and reproduce basin gravity signatures. We find that the resultant basin structure is sensitive to impactor size and thermomechanical state of the target interior. Simulations of the formation of Venusian multiring basins imply relatively low lithospheric thermal gradients and imply Venus is not in a mobile lid convection regime. We also discuss how formation of Valhalla-class multiring basins on ocean worlds may provide insight into the thickness of the icy shells they form in.

Those of us who work in schools and departments of music often do many things and have multiple roles to play. As researchers\, we may teach about the world's musical traditions\, the musical traditions of the U.S. and the Americas\, and the particular cultures\, people\, and genres we have researched in depth. In our roles as citizens of the university or college where we teach\, we often take on other roles as performers\, composers\, music theorists\, music educators\, music historians\, and administrators. In my own career these last three roles have figured most prominently. To these roles I have brought the values inherent in the discipline of ethnomusicology: advocating for diversity\, equity\, and inclusion and opposing ethnocentrism and racism. This presentation examines my own life-long experiences in such institutions\, including course and curricular innovations that express these values. Among other things\, I discuss my recent attempt to move the curriculum of a school of music away from the eurocentrism at its core by becoming\, in effect\, a music historian. And I conclude with some reflections on why moving away from ethnocentrism to inclusion in schools of music has proven so difficult and one approach to doing so. \n
Timothy Rice\, Distinguished Professor\, Emeritus\, of ethnomusicology at the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, has written many books and articles about the traditional music of Bulgaria and Macedonia. He also writes about theory and method in ethnomusicology\, including Ethnomusicology: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press\, 2014) and Modeling Ethnomusicology (Oxford University Press\, 2017). He was the editor of the journal Ethnomusicology (1981-1984)\; the founding co-editor of the ten-volume Garland Encyclopedia of World Music (1992-2002)\; and the President of the Society for Ethnomusicology (SEM\, 2003-2005). As the founding director of the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music (2007-2013)\, he contributed to discussions of curricular reform at the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and the College Music Society (CMS). In 2019 he was named an honorary member of the Society for Ethnomusicology for his contributions to SEM and the field of ethnomusicology.\n\nPart of the Ethel V.

Most of the policies were aimed at assimilation. For many years Native Americans were forced to live by standards set by the United States. But with the formation of the American Indian Movement\, they started to fight back. Learn about the beginnings of the American Indian Movement and the organized protests that they led including the Occupation of Alcatraz and Wounded Knee. And also learn how the activism of the 1960's lives on today and how we are dealing with issues in the Native community today.\n\nHeather Bruegl\, a member of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin\, is a graduate of Madonna University in Michigan and holds a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in U.S. History.

Hughes has designed and produced hundreds of creative activations since 2007 for curious folks to engage with art and one another in unconventional and meaningful ways. She leads CuriosityConnects.us\, a partner in Looking For America\, a national series inviting politically diverse guests to break bread and talk to each other face-to-face using art as a starting point for relationship-building conversations. Hughes has engineered numerous public-private collaborations that have been funded by the Kresge Foundation\, New American Economy\, Center for Inclusion & Belonging\, and the DC Office of Planning.
