Mellon Foundation-funded \"High Stakes Art\" initiative. The exhibition of new and collected fiber-based art incorporates salvaged and found bits of cultural and fiber art that\, as she explains\, \"forms a discourse that is physical rather than textual.\"\n\nThanks to the grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, we supported Sharp's work on Results and Roses during the summer of 2020\, but due to COVID-19 were forced to postpone the pop-up exhibition also scheduled for summer 2020. This fall we installed Results and Roses as a pop-up exhibition in the Osterman Common Room. Due to building security\, it's not open to the general public\, but we are thrilled to present the work online as a virtual exhibition. \n\nAbout the Artist\nSarah Rose Sharp is a Detroit-based writer\, activist\, photographer\, and multimedia artist.

For those who purchased before 12/15\, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.\n\nSynopsis:\nAn intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life\, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

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.

In the first part\, we will look at the opening page of selected students' novels (or of a short story) and consider how an acquisitions editor might read that page—what they might look for in an opening\, and how the story can present the best possible opening. In the second part\, we will discuss the acquisitions process (How are decisions made? What are editors looking for?) as well as publishing process\, answering practical questions (At what stage should you look for an agent? At what stage does the agent submit to editors? What kind of edits will an editor do with you? How can you be sure the integrity of your work is protected during the publication process?). Attendees will come away feeling that the acquisitions and publishing process has been demystified to some degree.\n\n\nMegha Majumdar’s debut novel\, *A Burning*\, follows three unforgettable characters whose lives are entangled in the wake of a catastrophe in contemporary India. Her work tackles class\, fate\, corruption\, justice\, and what it feels like to face profound obstacles and yet nurture big dreams in a country spinning toward extremism. \n\nMajumdar was born and raised in Kolkata\, India. She moved to the United States to attend college at Harvard University\, where she was a Traub Scholar\, followed by graduate school in social anthropology at Johns Hopkins University. She works as an associate editor at Catapult\, and lives in New York City.\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).

The first presentation serves as an introduction to an important theoretical idea or method in the field (the Foundations). The second presentation concerns the application of that idea or method to an innovative topic\, thus exploring the Frontiers of the field in a way that highlights the significance of the theoretical idea.\n\nFrederike Petzschner is a Carney Institute Fellow in the Center for Computational Brain Science and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University. Dr. Petzschner will give two presentations on October 30: \n\nA Brief History of Computation (Foundations presentation)\nOur notion of what the capabilities and function of the brain and mind are has evolved fundamentally in the past century. As a result\, we have moved from early Psychophysics to Behaviorism to the Cognitive Revolution\, when theories of computation entered the forefront of modern Cognitive Science. This history and the fundamental questions posed at different times provide a great deal of insight into our modern thinking and paves the way where the field might take us in the future. In this lecture\, I will try to provide a short guide through the history of computation and discuss what could be learned from it.\n\nComputational Approaches for Mental Health (Frontiers presentation)\nThe growing field of Computational Psychiatry provides a prime example of how theories of computation may provide not only insights into the function of healthy minds but also mental disorders. In this lecture\, I will discuss three examples of where we apply computational methods to understand learning\, perception or decision-making in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder\, Gambling Addiction and Disorders of Interoception.\n\nPresentation Schedule (EST):\n11:00 - 11:30 am. Foundations presentation\n11:30 - 11:45 am Q&A\n11:45 am - 12:35 pm Frontiers presentation\n12:35 - 1:00 pm. Q&A\n\nQ&A Protocol\nPlease save any questions for the Q&A periods.

When interpreted using a theoretical model for mRNA dynamics\, the single-cell data allowed us to obtain the probabilistic rates of promoter switching\, transcription initiation and elongation\, mRNA release and degradation. Unexpectedly\, we found that gene activity can be strongly coupled to the transcriptional state of another copy of the same gene present in the cell\, and to the event of gene replication during the bacterial cell cycle. These gene-copy and cell-cycle correlations demonstrate the limits of mapping whole-cell mRNA numbers to the underlying stochastic gene activity and highlight the contribution of previously hidden variables to the observed population heterogeneity.

What is at stake in the choice of a city\, a province\, a nation\, a region\, an empire\, or even the world? This panel explores what is gained or lost when grouping people into naturalized territorial categories\, as well as the agency of historical actors in rejecting or reconstituting these categories. Panelists will reflect on tensions between the boundedness of pre-given units of analysis and the freedom of historical actors to deploy\, contest\, or radically re-imagine the dominant ordering of their worlds from a diverse set of geographic and temporal perspectives: museums in late imperial Russia\, gender and power in the Yuan court\, interwar population exchanges in the Balkans\, and multiculturalism and policing in 1980s Los Angeles.\n\nFeaturing:\nAlbert Cavallaro\, Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan \nAndrea Valedón-Trapote\, Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan \nDavid Helps\, Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan \nLediona Shahollari\, Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan \nMichael Witgen (chair)\, Professor\, American Culture & History\, University of Michigan\n\nFree and open to the public.

The events of August 11th and 12th during Charlottesville’s “Summer of Hate” have also produced a group of iconic images that the mass media relies on to signify the violent and emboldened racist hatred of the “Unite the Right” rally and its aftermath. In analyzing and comparing the most frequently circulated photographs\, I want to suggest a similarity in the narrative that these frequently circulated photos tend to tell about the struggle for racial justice. A photo of the terrorist car attack that killed Heather Heyer won the Pulitzer Prize. Why? What is this horrifically chaotic\, violent\, almost visually incomprehensible photo communicating? Why is this image reproduced over and over again? How is it thematically and visually similar to iconic images from the civil rights era? How and why does it matter that our photographic record encourages us to remember key events around race and white supremacy in particular ways?\n\nAniko Bodroghkozy is a Professor of Media Studies at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville where she has been on faculty since 2001. She is a media historian with a particular focus on American television\, the social change movements of the 1960s\, media audiences and reception practices in historical context\, and the development of television journalism in the 1960s.

These reflected signals can be radar\, IR\, visual\, or acoustic. For military platforms stealth is one way to improve survivability. In the late 70s the first airplane designed with stealth as its main feature was the F-117A. It proved that major improvements in survivability were possible using entirely new design criteria. All modern military vehicles incorporate stealth to some degree in their design.\n\nHowever\, the challenge is that designing for stealth compromises vehicle performance and cost. In the real world this is a difficult tradeoff. Improved stealth characteristics are very costly and must be considered carefully compared to other characteristics such as speed and altitude.\n\nBefore the F-117A there was an earlier airplane that had some major stealth components. Do you know what airplane this is? Find out on Friday.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nMr. Carichner went to work for the Lockheed Skunk Works after earning his BS in Engineering and MS in Engineering degrees from UCLA. He retired in 2013 after 48 years at the Skunk Works where he worked on most of the company’s high-profile programs. During his career he started out as an aerodynamicist and eventually became Head of Aerodynamics for the Skunk Works. Future program assignments were either Chief Engineer or Program Manager positions. As Chief Engineer for the JASSM Program he was selected as Lockheed’s Inventor of the Year.\n\nThe last 15 years of his career were dedicated to lighter-than-air designs. He created the Aerocraft Program whose design resulted in a hybrid airship demonstrator that had many airplane flight characteristics that has changed the course of future airship design. \n\nCurrently\, Mr. Carichner teaches Airplane Design at Cal Poly Pomona\nMr. Carichner has written two textbooks. One on airplane design and another on airship design. Both books are published by the AIAA.\n\nFundamentals of Aircraft and Airship Design: Volume I - Aircraft Design\nFundamentals of Aircraft and Airship Design: Volume II - Airship Design and Case Studies UID:78969-20162610@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78969 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Aerospace,aerospace engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201027T181540 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201030T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201030T141500 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Rackham 101: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome DESCRIPTION:You’re awesome and so is this interactive workshop that will share research based strategies and practical tips for overcoming imposter syndrome.\nThis workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

These frequent lexical patterns -- which are dictated more by convention within the language than by grammatical or semantic restrictions -- are called collocations (Wolter & Yamashita\, 2013). During my talk\, I will present preliminary data from a dual lexical decision task (LDT) where we examine the processing advantage of collocations over unconnected word pairs in both native and nonnative speakers. I will discuss what we have\nlearned so far about the underlying factors\, such as word frequency\, collocation frequency\, and first language influence\, which collectively and interactively impact the processing of collocation in speakers varying in language proficiency and dominance.

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. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including shows at Art Science Museum Singapore\, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona\, Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona)\, and Museu da Imagem e do Som (São Paulo). She has received fellowships from the Creative Capital Foundation\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is a professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

In spite of being a ubiquitous volatile element in the Earth and abundantly present in the Earth’s mantle\, the behavior of nitrogen (N) in the mantle and exchange of N between the surficial and deeper terrestrial reservoirs have only gained attention recently. Previous studies have estimated the recycling efficiency of N (the percentage of incoming N in subduction zones surviving the arc filter and entering the deep mantle) by difference of incoming and volcanic outgassing fluxes\; these have obtained disparate estimates ranging between 0% to 80-92%. Also\, such an approach ignores the possibility that a fraction of the N released from the subducted slab may not be outgassed but rather sequestered in the overriding plate. Here I empirically constrain the recycling efficiency of N by focusing on the mechanism of N transfer from slabs by aqueous fluids and/or hydrous partial melts\, addressing a broad range of thermal regimes applicable in modern-day subduction zones. I find that globally 45-74% of incoming N in subduction zones survives past the arc magmatism filter and enters the deep mantle. I will briefly discuss the possible implications of such recycling efficiency on the evolution of the atmosphere and the mantle through time.

Hence the statistics of the neutron distribution become non-trivial (non-Poisson)\, and each statistical moment (mean\, variance etc) carries independent information. This wealth of information was originally used only to determine subcritical reactivity during start-up (Feynman-alpha method) from the first two moments of the detector counts. However\, the number of applications and corresponding new methods has exploded in the last two decades with new areas such as neutron fluctuations in accelerator driven systems (ADS) and multiplicity counting of neutrons and photons for nuclear safeguards\, including developments in the detection statistics. \nThe talk will give an overview of both the principles of the methods\, including an essay on the forward and adjoint forms of the master equations and their moments\, as well as of the latest developments and applications\, such as using fluctuations in the detector current to replace pulse counting techniques. This latter means that the statistical information of discrete underlying events can be unfolded from the continuous random processes which they induce. One advantage of such a method is that it is free from the dead time problem\, present in pulse counting techniques. Thus the application area can be extended to high count rate processes\, such as multiplicity measurements of high activity spent fuel or reactivity measurements by the Feynman- or Rossi-alpha methods in power reactors. \n\nBio\nImre Pázsit is full professor at the Department of Physics\, Division of Subatomic\, High Energy and Plasma Physics\, Nuclear Engineering Group\, at Chalmers University of Technology\, Göteborg\, Sweden. His research interests are transport theory of neutral and charged particles\; fluctuations in neutron transport and atomic collision cascades\; theory of multiplicity in nuclear safeguards\; reactor diagnostics based on noise analysis including diagnostics of two-phase flow\; elaboration of inverse methods in neutron noise diagnostics\; intelligent computing methods such as artificial neural networks and wavelet analysis\, and\, recently\, fractional kinetics and fractional diffusion processes. \nProf. Pázsit has published over 210 articles in international journals. Together with L. Pál\, he authored the book “Neutron Fluctuations – a Treatise on the Theory of Branching Processes”\, Elsevier (2008). He is a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society\, a Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences\, and the fourth recipient of the Leo Szilard Medal of the Hungarian Nuclear Society (2016).
