Sheri Hagen, director. In German with English subtitles (92 min., 2012).

Through its engagement with blindness as both a trope and a physical reality, Sheri Hagen’s *At Second Glance (Auf den zweiten Blick)* raises provocative questions regarding color blindness, race and racism, and in/visibility in contemporary German society. By challenging the normative category of whiteness, as well as able-bodiedness and heterosexuality, the film also explores alternative modes of seeing through the visual medium of cinema.

Sheri Hagen is a Nigerian-German director, screenwriter, actress, and founder of the production company Equality Film GmbH. Born in Lagos, she grew up in Hamburg and has lived and worked in Berlin since the 1990s. After training as a stage actress, Hagen then appeared in numerous film productions and television series, before returning to theater in 2010. Across her career, Hagen has worked on film projects as author, director, and producer. *Auf den zweiten Blick (At Second Glance)* is her debut film as a director. It won awards at the Filmfest Emden-Norderney (2012) and the Kirchen Filmfestival Recklinghausen (2013).

Those who register for the Q&A with Sheri Hagen on 1/29/21 will receive a link and password to view the film *At Second Glance (Auf den zweiten Blick)* between January 18-29, 2021. Register for the discussion at https://myumi.ch/jxo3w.

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

UM Epidemiologist Emily Toth Martin and UM Infectious Disease Physician Lona Mody will explore the latest updates in Covid-19 on campus, in Ann Arbor and across the state; treatment successes and challenges; and vaccine outlook.

Dr. Emily Toth Martin, PhD, MPH, is on the faculty of Epidemiology at the UM School of Public Health. Her research focuses on building a greater understanding of the epidemiology of viral respiratory diseases (including RSV, bocavirus and influenza) through the use of molecular epidemiology. In particular, her work aims to identify strategies to reduce infections, particularly in individuals with chronic comorbidities and in hospital infectious environments (including MRSA/VRE coinfection).

Lona Mody, MD, is one of very few internists in this country with an expertise in aging populations, epidemiology, an active research laboratory in microbiology and a translational research agenda focused on vulnerable aging population. Her NIH and AHRQ funded work has created a thriving consortium of post-acute and long-term care facilities in SE Michigan interested in developing interventions to enhance infection prevention in a traditionally resource poor setting.

Biopsychology Colloquium: Investigating functions of human disease genes using C. elegans (January 19, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80332 80332-20705786@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 19, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Two major challenges facing the genetics of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are: 1) the large and growing number of candidate risk genes with poorly characterized biological functions and 2) determining whether phenotypic disruptions in these new risk genes are reversible after development. Here, we developed a pipeline to discover functions of ASD-associated genes by inactivating each gene in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and observing the phenotypic consequences using machine vision. We quantified 26 phenotypes spanning morphology, locomotion, tactile sensitivity, and learning in >27,000 animals representing 135 genotypes, allowing us to identify disruptions in habituation (a neural circuits plastic ability to decrease responding to repeated sensory stimuli) as a shared impairment. Next, we used CRISPR-Cas9 auxin inducible degradation to determine that habituation impairments caused by developmental loss of the sole C. elegans ortholog of vertebrate neuroligins can be reversed by adult-specific re-expression. We are now using this phenotypic database to rapidly test whether phenotypic disruptions in several other ASD-associated genes are reversible in adulthood. This work charts the phenotypic landscape of ASD-associated genes and will prioritize reversible candidates for further study and therapeutic development.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Maverick or Modern: Gong Zizhen (1792 -1841) and the Origins of Buddhist Studies (January 19, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80214 80214-20601990@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 19, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

While Gong Zizhen (1792-1841) has been acclaimed as a patriotic poet and a prophet of revolutions and modernity in China, his Buddhist thoughts and practices have often been either overlooked or misunderstood. Why did Gong profess his devotion to Tiantai Buddhism in particular, and yet why did he choose to criticize the Lotus Sutra, the most sacred scripture for Tiantai? This research investigates Gong's unique Buddhism in relation to modern religiosity and modern Buddhist Studies.

Dr. Lang Chen is a research fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. Before joining the University of Michigan, she was an assistant professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. She received her PhD in religious studies at Yale University and worked as a postdoctoral fellow for the Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore. She is working on her book project on Tiantai Buddhism in late imperial China.

Isabel Wilkerson, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, has written a well-researched, narrative history titled “Caste: The Origins of our Discontents”, that is asking us to look at our collective history from a new paradigm, that of caste vs. race and/class. We are offering this Discussion Series to allow participants to examine and reflect upon this reframing of our history, and its implications for our present and future as a nation. We want to offer participants a safe space forum to interpret, consider, and challenge the insights offered in Caste. Our hope is that through these thoughtful and difficult conversations about our nation’s past, we will gain a better understanding of how that history is operating today.

This Discussion Series will serve our collective benefit by beginning to think of ways that we as individuals and as a community can make changes, big or small, to improve the circumstances and experiences for our children, grandchildren, family, and friends in the near and far futures.


This discussion group, led by co-facilitators Faye Askew-King and Karen Bantel will meet on January 19; February 2 and 16; March 2, 16, 30 from 2:00-4:00.

While the event is free, preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the discussion group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

The gallery is currently open Tuesdays and Fridays from 2pm to 7pm to U-M faculty, staff, and students with valid MCards only. Learn more about COVID health and safety restrictions prior to your visit:  https://stamps.umich.edu/exhibitions/stamps_gallery
The work in the exhibition can also be viewed online: http://stamps.umich.edu/calendar/event-detail/story_word_sound_sway

Artists: Carisa Bledsoe (BFA Interarts ’14), Schroeder Cherry (BFA ’76), Elshafei Dafalla (MFA ’08), Masimba Hwati (MFA ’19), Caleb Moss (BFA ’13), Senghor Reid (BFA ’99), Valencia Robin (MFA ’08), Yvette Rock (MFA ’99), Wes Taylor (BFA ’04), Levester Williams (BFA ’13), and Elizabeth Youngblood (BFA ’73)

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is an exhibition of work by eleven Stamps School of Art & Design Alumni using performance, movement, text, sound, and design to interrogate systems of oppression and interrupt the status quo. It explores themes of alternative histories, archives, Black identity, collective memory, storytelling; meshing performance and performativity, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture, repetitive mark-making, performance with an audience or without, spoken word, ambient sound, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses, nationally and internationally, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication that will include interviews with each of the alumni artists conducted by current Stamps’ student and exhibition co-curator Moteniola Ogundipe.

Story, Word, Sound, Sway is co-curated by Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Moteniola Ogundipe.

Each meeting of Art History III will focus on 5 or 6 works of architecture and fine arts, so that we can explore each one in depth. Learners will bring their travel, curiosity, and questions to this study group, thereby enriching it.

History of Art III emphasizes syncretism between older and newer artistic traditions, for example, the transition from pagan worship to Christianity in the second through fourth centuries CE in Italy. If time permits, we will look at early Islamic art and the syncretism that occurred when Islam spread to the Christian territories in the West.

This study group led by Molly Lindner will meet Tuesdays for six weeks beginning on January 19.

A free screening (zoom webinar) of the critically acclaimed documentary film,
RIVER CITY DRUMBEAT, followed by Q&A with director Marlon Johnson.


Wednesday, January 19, 2021 via Zoom Webinar (EDT, US and Canada):
     7:00pm - Introduction with Stearns Collection director Joseph Gascho and Marlon Johnson
     7:10pm - Screening begins
     8:45pm - Live Q&A with film director Marlon Johnson

RIVER CITY DRUMBEAT is a powerful story of music, love, and legacies set in the American South. Edward "Nardie" White devoted his life to leading the African-American drum corps he co-founded with Zambia Nkrumah in Louisville, Kentucky three decades ago. Together they inspired youth from their West Louisville neighborhood to thrive by connecting them with the art and cultural traditions of their African ancestors. Now Albert Shumake, whose destiny was shaped by the drumline, must take up the mantle for the next generation. Meanwhile, student drummers Imani, Jailen, and Emily navigate adolescence and life changes. RIVER CITY DRUMBEAT follows this creative community of mentors, parents, and youth making their way in a world where systemic forces raise obstacles to fulfilling their dreams.
