SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME Ph.D. Defense: Thomas A. Davidson
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 90% of adults in the US will develop dental caries needing treatment with dental restorations within their lifetimes.  An increasing number of restorations are done using composite rather than amalgams.  Dental composites have some benefits\, but the longevity of these restorations is shorter (5 to 7 years) than amalgams (10+ years).  The leading cause of dental restoration failure is development of secondary caries.  Secondary caries is decay at or near the margins of dental restorations that occurs when bacteria or acid infiltrate the interface and cause demineralization.  A reduction in infiltration would prevent the development of secondary caries.  The focus of this dissertation is the development of a method for improving the integrity of the interface using peptide engineering.  It was hypothesized that a mineral binding peptide identified via phage display for affinity to apatite could be modified to A) chemically incorporate with dental composites during polymerization and increase bond strength and B) act as an anchor for a mineralization promoting peptide to increase remineralization at the interface. \n \n\nFirst\, this thesis describes the characterization of VTKHLNQISQSY (VTK) peptide and phosphorylated variants (pVTK) for their affinity to dentin and enamel and the increase in adhesion strength at the nano-scale.  pVTK showed strong affinity to dentin and enamel\, and both VTK and pVTK exhibited strong adhesion to dentin and enamel at the nanoscale under dry and wet conditions.  Binding at the nanomolecular level translated to modest shear bond strength (SBS) increases at the interface when pVTK (7.4%) was modified with a cysteine that incorporated with the methacrylate-based bonding agent and composite during polymerization.  Using a competitive risk model incorporating failure mode and SBS\, a small increase in bond strength (VTK: 3%\; pVTK: 10%) was observed. \n \n\nThe second modification to VTK was the addition of a remineralization domain using 8DSS\, a known remineralization peptide consisting of 8 repeats of Asp-Ser-Ser (DSS).  The dual-functioning peptide (VTK-8DSS) was applied to in vitro cross sections of dentin and enamel and an in situ model of class V dental restorations.  Mineral deposition and quality were assessed over 7 days in remineralization solution. VTK-8DSS increased the mineral quality (recovering 75% of young’s modulus and hardness compared to 50% of 8DSS control) determined using nanoindentation over the 7 day time course of the study. \n \n\nThese modifications were also analyzed under challenging conditions for their protective effect to the interface.  VTK and pVTK doped composites were exposed to thermal cycling and had a 43% and 49% reduction in microleakage as measured by silver nitrate penetration using micro CT.  Cross sections and dental restorations were used to assess the function of VTK-8DSS in artificial saliva containing proteins that competitively bind to dentin and enamel and an acidic cycling model where samples were exposed to acid every day in addition to remineralization solution.  VTK-8DSS in both artificial saliva and acidic cycling models showed a slight increase in mineral deposition  (95% and 95% recovery) compared to 8DSS (80% and 50% respectively) and a large increase mineral quality (70% vs 10% and 60% vs 30%).\n \n\nTaken together\, the data in this dissertation demonstrates the ability to engineer interfacial surfaces using peptides derived for their affinity to specific tissues.  This system could be applied more broadly to improve the interactions or integration of any number of biomaterials that directly interface with native tissue. \n \n\nDate: Friday\, December 10\, 2021\nTime: 8:00 AM EST\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97816028147 (Zoom link requires prior registration)\nChair: Dr. David Kohn

SUMMARY:Exhibition:When This is All Over / Cuando Esto Termine
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles-based artist Shizu Saldamando was born in 1978 to parents of Mexican-American and Japanese-American descent and raised in San Francisco’s Mission District. Saldamando merges painting and collage\, often using origami paper\, glitter\, or gold leaf in her compositions\, many of which are painted on wood or found surfaces. Her modern portraits and innovative methods challenge social constructs pertaining to individual and collective identity within the broader context of the “American Portrait.” Saldamando’s visual biographies\, which use her friends\, family\, and fellow members of the Chicanx creative community in Los Angeles\, create new ways of seeing and being seen.\n\nOn November 2\, 6:30-8pm\, Shizu Saldamando talks to curator Amanda Krugliak about Shizu's artistic practice and her exhibition *When This is All Over / Cuando Esto Termine*.\n\nAbout the artist: Shizu Saldamando is an LA based mixed media artist with an emphasis on portraiture. She received her B.A. from UCLA’s School of Arts and Architecture and her M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited both locally and internationally and experiments with a broad range of surfaces and materials. Saldamando’s practice employs tattooing\, video\, painting and drawing on canvas\, wood\, paper\, and cloth. The work functions as homage\, as well as documentation\, of friends and peers within artistic and musical subcultures around the Los Angeles metropolitan area. She is currently represented by Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles.\n\nShizu Saldamando is the 2021 Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibt runs through December 12\, 2021.\n\nMaking art can be a transformative experience. It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us\, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art\, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.\n\nCurrently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States\, and in Michigan\, there are roughly 33\,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments\, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons\; the impact of incarceration on women\; youth incarceration\; and the dangers of COVID-19.\n\nThe exhibition features artists\, poets\, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force\, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in\, together.\n\nFree Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges\, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs\, and Janie Paul\, Senior Curator and Cofounder\, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners\, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR-Zwerdling Seminar in Labor Economics: Increasing the Demand for Workers with a Criminal Record (joint with Zoe Cullen and Will Dobbie)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nState and local policies increasingly restrict employers' access to criminal records\, but without addressing the underlying reasons that employers may conduct criminal background checks. Employers may thus still want to ask about a job applicant's criminal record later in the hiring process or make inaccurate judgments based on an applicant's demographic characteristics. In this paper\, we use a field experiment conducted in partnership with a nationwide staffing platform to test policies that more directly address the reasons that employers may conduct criminal background checks. The experiment asked hiring managers at nearly a thousand U.S. businesses to make actual hiring decisions under different randomized conditions. We find that 39% of businesses in our sample are willing to work with individuals with a criminal record at baseline\, which rises to over 50% when businesses are offered crime and safety insurance\, a single performance review\, a background check covering just the past year\, or objective information on the productivity of these individuals. Wage subsidies can achieve similar increases but at a substantially higher cost. Based on our findings\, the staffing platform relaxed the criminal background check requirement and offered crime and safety insurance to interested businesses.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Connections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition
DESCRIPTION:Connections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition features the work of artists in the Linkage Project\, a program of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) that affirms the creativity of adults who have returned from incarceration. The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some\, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration\, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.\n\nMartín Vargas\, artist and curator of this exhibition\, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work\, but also during select Art Lab studio hours\, which will feature several of the artists working in person.\n\nConnections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas\, Vanessa Mayesky\, Scott Tompkins\, Nico Slowik\, Kimiko Uyeda\, and Jenna VanFleteren.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Epistemic Exclusion: Scholarly Devaluation that is a Barrier to Faculty Diversification
DESCRIPTION:Epistemic exclusion refers to the scholarly devaluation of faculty of color (and other faculty from marginalized groups)\, that deems their research as illegitimate\, lacking value and outside of disciplinary norms. \n\nIt occurs because of biases built into seemingly neutral evaluation standards that govern faculty hiring\, annual review and other evaluation processes. As such\, it operates as a barrier to the recruitment\, retention\, and advancement of faculty of color.\n\nU-M LSA professor Isis Settles will describe the nature of epistemic exclusion\, the disciplinary and identity-based (e.g.\, related to a person’s gender or race) biases that underlie it and suggest strategies for change.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME PH.D. Defense: Christopher D. Davidson
DESCRIPTION:The ability of cells to communicate and coordinate their activity is crucial to the development and homeostatic function of all tissues. In addition to the well-established means of biochemically mediated signaling\, a more recent body of evidence has indicated that cells can also communicate via cell-generated forces transmitted to neighboring cells through the extracellular matrix (ECM). One setting in which a deeper understanding of mechanical intercellular communication (MIC) would be extremely valuable is in vasculogenesis\, or the de novo formation of a microvascular network. This dynamic process involves the assembly and organization of individual endothelial progenitor cells into an interconnected network of capillaries\, thus requiring cellular communication and coordination over large spatial scales. If fully understood and harnessed\, vasculogenic assembly presents a promising approach to vascularizing engineered tissue constructs for regenerative medicine applications. We hypothesize physical properties of the ECM are critical to MIC as the matrix context defines not only the generation of cell forces but also force transmission through the matrix to nearby cells. Thus\, the focus of this dissertation is to study cell force propagation and MIC between endothelial cells (ECs) in controllable synthetic ECMs towards the informed design of biomaterials that drive rapid self-assembly of functional microvascular networks.\n\n \n\nFirst\, this thesis explores how physical attributes of the ECM regulate the assembly of ECs into interconnected multicellular networks. To mimic the fibrous microenvironments where neovascularization typically occurs in the body\, we developed a novel model of the EC network formation assay utilizing 2.5D matrices of electrospun synthetic dextran methacrylate (DexMA) polymeric fibers. Our results revealed that active cell-mediated matrix deformations and fiber recruitment through actomyosin force generation occurs concurrently with the formation and stabilization of multicellular EC networks.\n\n \n\nNext\, this thesis describes the development and characterization of a new material system composed of electrospun dextran vinyl sulfone (DexVS) polymeric fibers that possess longer-term mechanical stability in culture as compared to DexMA matrices. These matrices were utilized for two major objectives: 1) investigating the role of matrix mechanics on the activation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts\, a key component of wound healing and the fibrotic progression\, and 2) exploring the impact of nonlinear matrix mechanical properties on vasculogenic assembly by imbuing fibers with crimped microstructure.\n\n \n\nLastly\, this thesis describes the mechanism of MIC between individual ECs during vasculogenic assembly. By combining electrospun DexMA fiber matrices with a microfabrication-based cell-patterning method\, we investigated EC force-mediated matrix displacements and MIC as a function of matrix stiffness and identified the critical cellular machinery required for ECs to sense and respond to mechanical signals emanating from neighboring cells. We then sought to harness these observations in more translatable 3D hydrogel constructs by using a composite approach where fibrin hydrogels were reinforced with electrospun DexVS fiber segments. While traditional approaches to prevascularize 3D hydrogels require long-term co-cultures of ECs and support stromal cells\, our work demonstrated that mechanical cues from synthetic fibers enable ECs alone to rapidly self-assemble into networks of lumenized capillary-like structures.\n\n \n\nOverall\, the work presented in this dissertation integrates biomaterials\, tissue engineering\, and microfabrication approaches to investigate the mechanobiology of how cell forces regulate intercellular communication during vasculogenic assembly. The results presented here are critical to the design of biomaterials that promote robust capillary network assembly for applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.\n\n \n\nDate: Friday\, December 10\, 2021\n\nTime: 1:00 PM EST\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAoceuhqD0rHdwL8duV6QwOcYjLXl14kysD (Zoom link requires prior registration)\n\nChair: Dr. Brendon Baker

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Black Women in Sports Leadership:  Navigating Workplace Blackness
DESCRIPTION:Identity is a critical attribute of effective leadership. Moreover\, interactions in the workplace (be they formal or informal) shape employees’ identities\, as they reveal the extent to which identities are accepted or contested (Sanchez-Hucles & Davis\, 2010). Sport organizational cultures\, aptly characterized as inequality regimes (Acker\, 2006) established at the axes of race and gender (and other ascriptions)\, create habitus (Bourdieu\, 1984) of inclusion and exclusion that uniquely impact the identity and the leadership opportunities and experiences of Black women employed therein. The climate of many sport organizational cultures often discourages Black women from ‘bringing’ their authentic Blackness into the workplace\, requiring them to engage in a number social-psychological strategies to insulate and protect the essence of their ‘self’ at work. This presentation is an excerpt of a larger project on Black women in sport leadership (Simpkins & Armstrong\, In Progress). It will discuss race as aesthetic labor (Williams & Connell\, 2010)\, and it will illustrate the manner in which Black women sport leaders navigate their Blackness in the workplace as: (a) personal agency\, and (b) embodied racial identity. It will conclude by discussing the need for inclusive organizational cultures and workplaces free of anti-Black racism where Black women may thrive in the fullness of their Blackness as leaders.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Kerr Geodesics and Self-consistent match between Inspiral and Transition-to-merger
DESCRIPTION:The two-body motion in General Relativity can be solved perturbatively in the small mass ratio expansion. Kerr geodesics describe the leading order motion. \nAfter a short summary of the classification of polar and radial Kerr geodesic motion\, I will consider the inspiral motion of a point particle around the Kerr black hole \nsubjected to the self-force. I will describe its quasi-circular inspiral motion in the radiation timescale expansion. I will describe in parallel the transition-to-merger motion around the last stable \ncircular orbit and prove that it is controlled by the Painlevé transcendental equation of the first kind. I will then prove that one can consistently match the two motions using \nthe method of asymptotically matched expansions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Graduate Student Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Linguistics graduate students Justin Craft and Danielle Burgess will present their research. \n\nDanielle Burgess:\nInvestigating the NegFirst Bias in Learning and Communication\n\nABSTRACT\nIn response to the apparent tendency for standard negation markers to appear in preverbal position or to \"gravitate leftward\" across the world's languages\, Horn (1989: 452) postulated a \"NegFirst principle\". Tendencies for negation to appear early in the sentence have been observed by scholars working in typology\, language contact\, and language acquisition. However\, it remains uncertain if it is necessary to postulate and motivate an independent NegFirst preference\, or whether the observed tendencies can broadly be explained by other cognitive and linguistic biases which may play a role in basic constituent order patterns\, grammaticalization\, and language acquisition. In the current study\, I use an Artificial Language Learning paradigm to test the existence of a behavioral bias consistent with NegFirst in the behavior of English speakers\, and incorporate a dyadic director-matcher task in order to investigate a hypothesis that the NegFirst principle is driven by communicative factors. This study contributes to a growing body of research which aims to corroborate typological tendencies with behavioral evidence at the individual level. In this talk\, I will share preliminary results which suggest that English-speaking learners do show behavior consistent with a NegFirst bias\, and discuss plans to extend this research to Japanese speakers in the future.\n \nJustin Craft:\nThe Effect of Listener Experience and Social Expectation on Illusory Percepts\n\nABSTRACT\nPerceptual recalibration research has been central in demonstrating that listeners readily adapt to accented speech as listeners gain experience with accented speakers. Likewise\, the sociophonetic literature has demonstrated that listener expectations and experience established through visual or contextual means also appears to drive listener percepts and inferentially aid in efforts to resolve socially conditioned phonetic ambiguities. In this talk\, I'll present preliminary results from one of my dissertation experiments that utilizes McGurk stimuli to probe whether these expectational and recalibratory effects persist in illusory percepts. By breaking the audio-visual integration characteristic of typical speech processing\, the use of illusory stimuli targets whether the percepts listeners experience\, when stripped of socially meaningful acoustic cues\, still show evidence of sociophonetic knowledge that otherwise reflects the variation found in congruent veridical audio-visual signals in the world. \n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact lingadmin@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Performance:Changemakers | A Collectively Devised Play about the Early History of the University of Michigan School of Social Work
DESCRIPTION:As racial tensions rise on and off campus\, three School of Social Work students overcome their differences as the School rallies itself for change in the face of the Great Depression.\n\nThis play\, commissioned for the University of Michigan\, School of Social Work Centennial (1921-2021)\, in collaboration with the Residential College Drama Program\, focuses on the early history of the School and on the students and faculty who worked to create meaningful change in the world. This early period begins at the end of a global Spanish Flu pandemic and World War I and ends during the height of the Great Depression. This period saw the first undergraduate social work curriculum launched on the Ann Arbor campus and ends as the program moves to Detroit where the social work program remained until 1950.\n\nAmong the major themes is the struggle for racial justice\, including challenging segregation on the University of Michigan campus. Early social work students were involved in an inter-racial alliance group\, the Negro-Caucasian Club\, that started in 1925 and the efforts of those students are depicted in the play.\n\nThis production is Directed by Aria Davis. Produced by Rich Tolman (SSW) and Kate Mendeloff (RC Drama). The cast includes faculty and students from the School of Social Work community.

Since 2007\, it has become a yearly tradition for The Ragbirds to present this unique family-friendly holiday show called Ebird & Friends. The songs and artists change from year to year\, but the spirit of the event is community\, the soul is creativity and the show is unforgettable. \"Ebird\"is Erin Zindle\, lead singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of The Ragbirds. Erin’s budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together\, and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered\, and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including Ragbirds' original songs inspired by the holiday. This show has become a phenomenon and it shows no signs of slowing down.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Considering Matthew Shepard
DESCRIPTION:by Craig Hella Johnson\n\nConsidering Matthew Shepard was performed under the direc­tion of award win­ning con­duc­tor Eugene Rogers\, acclaimed stage direc­tor Matt Kunkel\, and Emmy-award win­ning film pro­ducer Bob Berg. The Stamps Event Series’ premiere of the video will be fol­lowed by a con­ver­sa­tion between Rogers and the piece’s composer\, Craig Hella John­son. \n\nJohnson wrote the piece as a tribute to Matthew Shepard\, a gay college student who in 1998 was beaten by strangers\, tied to a fence\, and left for dead. Shepard’s death\, along with the murder of James Byrd Jr. by white supermacists a few months earlier\, led to Congress passing the Matthew Shep­ard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Pre­ven­tion Act in 2009.\n\nwatch the live broadcast at https://myumi.ch/Nm1eM
