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.

The link will be provided below.\n\nZoom: https://umich-health.zoom.us/j/94734899583?pwd=MDNEMjE3QU5xVGgwZzNQajE4UlJQUT09\n\nOveractive bladder (OAB) is a highly prevalent condition which negatively affects the physical and mental health of millions of people worldwide. Sacral neuromodulation (SNM)\, currently serving ~300\,000 patients worldwide\, is a promising third-line therapy that provides improved efficacy and minimum adherence issue compared to conventional treatments. While current SNM is delivered in an open-loop fashion\, the therapy could have improved clinical efficacy by adopting a closed-loop stimulation paradigm that uses objective physiological feedback. Therefore\, this dissertation work focuses on using sacral level dorsal root ganglia neural signals to provide sensory feedback for adaptive SNM a feline model.\n \nThis work began with exploring machine learning algorithms and feature selection methods for bladder pressure decoding. A Kalman filter delivered the highest performance based on correlation coefficient between the pressure measurements and algorithm estimation. Additionally\, firing rate normalization significantly contributed to lowering the normalized error\, and a correlation coefficient-based channel selection method provided the lowest error compared to other channel selection methods.\n \nFollowing algorithm optimization\, this work implemented the optimized algorithm and feature selection method in real-time in anesthetized healthy and simulated OAB feline models. A 0.88 ± 0.16 correlation coefficient fit was achieved by the decoding algorithm across 35 normal and simulated OAB bladder fills in five experiments. Closed-loop neuromodulation was demonstrated using the estimated pressure to trigger pudendal nerve stimulation\, which increased bladder capacity by 40% in two trials.\n \nFinally\, closed-loop SNM stimulation with DRG sensory feedback was performed in a series of anesthetized experiments. It increased bladder capacity by 13.8% over no stimulation (p < 0.001). While there was no statistical difference in bladder capacity between closed-loop and continuous stimulation (p = 0.80)\, closed-loop stimulation reduced stimulation time by 57.7%. Interestingly\, bladder single units had a reduced sensitivity during stimulation\, suggesting a potential mechanism of SNM.\n \nOverall\, this work demonstrated that sacral level DRG are a viable sensory feedback target for adaptive SNM. Validation in awake and chronic experiments is a crucial step prior to clinical translation of this method.

Macroscopic organisms typically navigate in odor plumes that provide a noisy and uncertain signal about the location of an odor source. Work in many species has suggested that animals accomplish this task by combining temporal processing of dynamic odor information with an estimate of wind direction.\n\nOur lab has been using adult walking Drosophila to understand both the computational algorithms and the neural circuits that support navigation in a plume of attractive food odor. We developed a high-throughput paradigm to study behavioral responses to temporally-controlled odor and wind stimuli. Using this paradigm we found that flies respond to a food odor (apple cider vinegar) with two behaviors: during the odor they run upwind\, while after odor loss they perform a local search. A simple computational model based one these two responses is sufficient to replicate many aspects of fly behavior in a natural turbulent plume. \n\nIn on-going work\, we are seeking to identify the neural circuits and biophysical mechanisms that perform the computations delineated by our model. Using electrophysiology\, we have identified mechanosensory neurons that compute wind direction from movements of the two antennae\, and central mechanosensory neurons that encode wind direction are involved in generating a stable downwind orientation. Using optogenetic activation\, we have traced olfactory circuits capable of evoking upwind orientation and offset search from the periphery\, through the mushroom body and lateral horn\, to the central complex. Most recently\, connectomic analysis has suggested a plausible model for how wind and odor information might be integrated in the central complex to allow flies to flexibly alter their orientation to wind. Our work illustrates how the tools available in fruit fly can be applied to dissect the mechanisms underlying a complex goal-directed behavior.

When interactions between electrons are important\, however\, the collective and correlated behavior of electrons can be beautiful\, complicated\, counter-intuitive\, and sometimes even useful. I will outline how we can engineer and search for new correlated electronic states starting from ‘Scotch tape exfoliation’ of atomically thin materials (such as graphene) as a basis for new types of devices. Then\, I will discuss how my research group plans to use low-temperature electronic transport and spatially-resolved magnetic measurements to uniquely demonstrate the behavior of correlated electrons in 2D materials\, highlighting some of my previous work on the fractional quantum Hall effect and superconductivity as concrete examples.\n UID:78773-20123133@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78773 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200929T113905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T140000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Phondi Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Phondi is a discussion and research group for students and faculty at U-M and nearby universities who have interests in phonetics and phonology.

This course will provide insight on how your personal expectations and perceptions can be different than others and different from the organization. We will explore how each person’s personal prejudices can add/or detract to an expectation or perception that is not anywhere near the reality of the situation. This class will be interactive and will include viewing a video prior to the class\, taking a survey a few minutes before the class and it will include polls during the class. There will be an opportunity to ask questions through the chat mode. Karen will use experiences from her nearly 40 year career as examples. As this course includes examples from a phenomenal career\, there can be no pictures or video taken except for the “official” UM Aero Video that will be used only for AE 285 students in this class. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nKaren’s illustrious career as an Aerospace Engineer began at NASA JSC where she developed analytic methods for composite primary structure under fatigue and fracture mechanics for Space Shuttle.

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.

The DM does not know the action's value and relies on data and unbiased statistical inference to estimate it. The data are Bernoulli experiments governed by the action's value. A designer\, who wishes the DM to take the action\, controls the size of the data\, i.e.\, the sample size\, available to the DM. We establish that in many environments the designer's optimal sample size is the largest one satisfying that either a single --- or a simple majority --- of favorable realizations would persuade the DM to take the action.

We study the possible signals from fermionic absorption by nuclear or electron targets\, which we divide into two classes of four Fermi operators: neutral and charged current. In the neutral current signal\, dark matter is absorbed by a target nucleus or electron and a neutrino is emitted. For nuclear targets\, this results in a characteristically different nuclear recoil energy spectrum from that of elastic scattering. For electron targets\, we calculate electron recoil spectra in xenon-based detectors for sub-MeV dark matter. The charged current channel is specific to nuclear targets and leads to induced beta decays in isotopes which are stable in vacuum as well as shifts of the kinematic endpoint of beta spectra in unstable isotopes. Last\, we present UV completions of the four Fermi operators which give rise to these signals and study the prospects of seeing an absorption signal in light of other constraints\, such as dark matter decays and mediator searches.

The social distancing conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic introduced a deep and long term disruption to typical face-to-face interaction for Michiganders\, which in turn enables researchers to test precisely how these widescale disruptions to face-to-face interactions impact sociolinguistic development for children and participation in lifespan change for adults. In this talk\, we introduce the MI-Diaries project\, which has been tracking audio diaries from participants since the beginning of the pandemic. We highlight some of the major theoretical goals of the project\, as well as discuss some of the methodological innovations necessary for conducting sociolinguistic fieldwork during a pandemic.

Key attributes of this reactor concept include: (i) high degree of passive safety\, (ii) atmospheric pressure operation\, (iii) high thermal efficiency due to high volumetric heat capacity and thermal conductivity of liquid salts\, (iv) lower spent fuel per unit of energy\, (v) high solubility of most fission products in liquid salts and (vi) absence of fuel assemblies. Materials selection for liquid fueled MSRs is based on ASME Sec III Div 5 and thus present unique challenges because of the high Cr content of current qualified alloys. Consequently\, and considering the short-term deployment of MSRs\, it is necessary to independently improve corrosion resistance of current code codified alloys by surface treatments. On the other hand\, if one considers long-term deployment of MSRs\, novel code certified alloys would need to be developed. Indeed\, although Hastelloy-N\, a low Cr\, high Mo alloy developed during the MSRE program\, has shown remarkable corrosion resistance in molten fluoride salts\, this alloy has limited creep-rupture strength\, irradiation damage resistance and has shown corrosion induced embrittlement. Consequently\, this study focuses on the down-selection of a series of cladded 316H stainless steels (SS) and novel alloys based on corrosion resistance in molten FLiNaK at 700°C for up to 1000 hours. Finally\, specific separate effects experiments are conducted to assess the influence of the experimental conditions on corrosion and mass transport.\n\nBio\nDr. Adrien Couet is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where he manages the MAterials Degradation under COrrosion and Radiation (MADCOR) laboratory. Previously\, he worked as a nuclear materials research engineer at EDF (Electricité de France) in France\, focusing on high-temperature aqueous corrosion and modeling corrosion of nuclear materials. He got hired at EDF after graduating in 2014 with a PhD in Nuclear and Mechnical Engineering from Penn State University. Over the last five years\, Dr. Couet has worked on developing his research group around fundamental understanding of materials degradation and alloy design for extreme environments. MADCOR research programs evolves around fuel cladding corrosion in LWRs\, developing structural materials and cladding for molten salt reactors and designing novel radiation resistant compositionally complex alloys. Dr. Couet also co-manages the UW Ion Beam Laboratory and is a co-organizer of the Nuclear Innovation Bootcamp\, which aims at training future entrepreneurs in the nuclear field.

An Interview with Agnieszka Holland DESCRIPTION:As part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival (AAPFF)\, acclaimed Polish film director Agnieszka Holland returns to the University of Michigan to deliver her second Annual Copernicus Lecture\, an interview with Johannes von Moltke\, professor of Germanic languages and literatures and of film\, television and media\, and acting director of the Weiser Center for Europe & Eurasia\, U-M\; and Benjamin Paloff\, associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures and of comparative literature\, and acting director of the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, U-M.\n\nAgnieszka Holland is justly famous for the way in which her films tackle “the perversely captivating 20th century\,” as she put it\, in all of its complexity. She has devoted her talents as a filmmaker to thoughtful explorations of fascism and communism\, their aftermaths\, and their lasting effects on those who were caught up in the political\, moral\, and ethical decisions that these regimes demanded of everyone in their orbit. In this hour-long interview\, Agnieszka Holland discusses the role of history and politics in her filmmaking\, her interest in characters who face difficult moral dilemmas\, her work in Europe and Hollywood\, her most recent film *Charlatan* (2019)\, and her desire to help shape a “cinema of the middle” by making thoughtful\, artistic films with broad popular appeal.\n\nAgnieszka Holland was born in Warsaw and graduated from FAMU\, the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Upon her return to Poland she joined the group of promising young Polish directors\, “the filmmakers of moral unrest\,” associated with Andrzej Wajda. Her early Polish films earned her a great deal of critical acclaim\, but Holland is best-known for her Academy Award-nominated films *Angry Harvest* (Best Foreign Language Film 1985)\, *Europa Europa* (Best Screenplay 1990)\, and *In Darkness* (Best Foreign Language Film 2011). Recent films include *Spoor (Pokot)*\, based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk\; *Mr. Jones*\; and *Charlatan*. As a screenwriter\, Holland collaborated with Krzysztof Kieślowski (*Three Colours*\, 1993)\, and wrote several scripts for her mentor\, Andrzej Wajda. She has worked extensively in television\, directing episodes of *The Wire* and *Treme*\, for which she received an Emmy nomination in 2009. Recently she directed and produced the pilots for *The First* (Hulu)\, and *1983* (Netflix).\n\nThe Annual Copernicus Lecture is presented as part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival. While the festival requires tickets\, the lecture will be broadcast at no charge. More information at https://www.annarborpolishfilmfestival.com/.

Berkhofer Jr. Lecture on Native American Studies: A Conversation with Tommy Orange DESCRIPTION:The Department of Native American Studies presents The 5th Annual Robert J. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: A Conversation with Tommy Orange\, award-winning\, New York Times Best-selling novelist. \n\nThe Berkhofer Lecture is scheduled for Friday\, November 6th\, 2020\, at 7:00 pm on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97486211859\n\nTommy Orange is the author of the bestselling New York Times novel There There\, a multigenerational\, relentlessly paced story about a side of America few of us have ever explored – the lives of urban Native Americans. There There was one of the New York Times’ 10 Best books of the year and won the Center for Fictions First Novel Prize and the Pen/Hemingway Award. There There was longlisted for the National Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Orange graduated from the MFA program at the Institute of American Indian Arts\, and was a 2014 MacDowell Fellow\, and a 2016 Writing by Writers Fellow. He is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. He was born and raised in Oakland California.\n\nThe Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle\, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners\, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent\, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students\, Ann Arbor and Detroit\, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off\, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally\, because of the statewide publicity it generates\, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.\n\nFor more information on this speaker please visit www.prhspeakers.com UID:72820-20058231@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72820 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,american culture,book discussion,book event,Books,booksigning,Department Of American Culture,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Free,History,Keynote,lecture,multicultural,native american,Native American Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201030T113201 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201106T203000 SUMMARY:Meeting:The Post-Election Chatroom DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this event is to offer the residents of Mosher-Jordan a space for thoughtful conversations amongst peers in relation to the 2020 election.

Curved chute and race systems she has designed for cattle are used worldwide and her writings on the flight zone and other principles of grazing animal behavior have helped many people to reduce stress on their animals during handling.\n\nAs a person with high-functioning autism\, Grandin is also widely noted for her work in autism advocacy and is the inventor of the hug machine designed to calm hypersensitive persons.\n\nPresented with support from the UM Autism & Communication Disorders Center.\n\nHow to Watch\n\nAll speaker series events will be webcast on Fridays at 8 pm EST at http://pennystampsevents.org and at https://www.dptv.org/programs/arts-culture/penny-stamps-series/ starting Friday\, September 18.
