This series will explore the history of Black Islam and the experiences of Black Muslim communities in the Americas\, including North America\, Latin America\, and the Caribbean.\n \nFrom March 4th-18th\, you will have the opportunity to watch *Two Gods* (2020)\, a film by Zeshawn Ali and Aman Ali\, on demand and for free. Pre-order your free tickets now: http://watch.eventive.org/gisctwogods\n\n---\n*Two Gods* is the story of Hanif\, a Black Muslim casket maker and ritual body washer in Newark\, New Jersey\, who takes two young men under his wing to teach them how to live better lives\, illustrating the complexities of everyday Muslim community life.\n\n​​Year: 2020 | Run Time: 82 minutes​​ | Language: English | Director: Zeshawn Ali | Producer: Aman Ali\n \nAn intimate documentary about faith\, renewal\, and healing\, *TWO GODS* follows a Muslim casket maker and ritual body washer in New Jersey\, as he takes two young men under his wing to teach them how to live better lives. Inside a corner casket shop in East Orange\, laboring amid the sawdust and the long pine boxes\, casket makers work with mentors in the Islamic burial tradition. Hanif\, a Black Muslim casket maker who finds spiritual grounding in his work\, brings two boys from the local community under his tutelage\; 12-year-old Furquan and 17-year-old Naz\, neither of whom have fathers at home. Hanif teaches Furquan and Naz the practices of Islamic burial rituals as they assist him with his work. Having formerly served time in prison\, Hanif continues to grapple with past mistakes and new challenges\, while his faith and community helps him guide his young charges on their own paths toward healing and embracing life.\n \nShot in a striking black-and-white\, *TWO GODS* explores the juxtaposition of grief and the rituals of death with the vibrancy and potential of adolescence. The documentary turns an empathetic lens on Muslim American stories\, ultimately crafting a moving portrait of both the intimate moments and the complexities of the everyday Muslim American experience.\n---\n\nOn March 17th\, GISC will host *Two Gods* filmmakers Zeshawn Ali and Aman Ali for a filmmaker Q&A. This conversation will be moderated by local Detroit filmmaker and GISC Fellow Razi Jafri. RSVP: http://bit.ly/GISCTwoGods\n \nJoin us for the rest of the 'Black Islam in the Americas' series:\n \nOn March 29that 1:00 PM ET\, GISC will host Dr. Su'ad Abdul Khabeer and Dr. Rasul Miller for a lecture on Black Islam in the Americas\, with a focus on the United States. Dr. Su’ad Abdul Khabeer is a scholar\, artist\, activist\, and author of* Muslim Cool: Race\, Religion\, and Hip Hop in the United States* (2016). She is an associate professor of American Culture and Director of the Arab and Muslim American Studies program at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from Princeton University\, is a graduate of the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University\, and completed the Islamic Studies diploma program of the Institute at Abu Nour University (Damascus). In her most recent work\, Umi’s Archive\, Dr. Abdul Khabeer examines the intersections of official history and the untold stories of Black women and Black Muslims through the lens of her mother’s life. Umi means mother in Arabic\, and Dr. Abdul Khabeer examines her mother’s photographic and literary archives\, and so the digital exhibition series is Umi's Archive. The project sees everyday Black women as people who know things we all need to know. Dr. Rasul Miller's work looks into Black Muslim communities in the Atlantic world\, Black radicalism and its impact on social and cultural movements in the twentieth-century U.S.\, Black internationalism\, and West African intellectual history. Dr. Miller's current book project\, *Black Muslim Cosmopolitanism: The Global Character of New York City's Black Muslim Movements*\, examines the Black internationalist origins of early twentieth-century Black Sunni Muslim congregations in and around New York City\, and the cultural and political orientations that characterized subsequent communities of Black Muslims in the U.S. who built robust\, transnational networks as they actively engaged traditions and communities of Muslims on the African continent.

As we celebrate fifty years of Dutch at the University of Michigan with this exhibit\, we trace our paths toward a new frame for Dutch Studies — one that emphasizes colonial repair and rethinks which voices matter. View the exhibit in the north lobby of the Hatcher Library.\n\nAbout the exhibit:\n\nIn the section titled “A New Canon\,\" the exhibit includes an empty space where the novel Max Havelaar by Multatuli would be\, the “top 10” book touted to have “ended colonialism.\" With the empty space\, we acknowledge the book’s white saviorism that rang in the new era of colonial oppression and cultural genocide called the “(Dutch) Ethical Policy.\" The books in our new canon crowd out Multatuli’s empty space in the same way that the other materials on display\, such as the sound of the carillon score of Gold Coast composer\, Charles E. Graves\, or the voice of Indonesian forerunner of colonial reparations\, Jeffry Pondaag\, drowns out the spaces left blank by Willem Janszoon Blaeu’s maps\, which reside in our U-M Library collections but are purposely not displayed.\n\nThe exhibit continues with collections of materials that show the Dutch program’s comparative approach to Dutch Studies\, one that connects histories and cultures and creates understanding through familiar frames of reference. Our collection of Anne Frank materials is supplemented with U-M Professor of History Rudolf Mrázek’s comparative work on the “model camps” of Theresienstadt (Nazi) and Boven Digoel (Dutch). A translation of Leendert van der Valk’s article “1619” on the Dutch foundations of U.S. slavery lies next to Marjolein van Pagee’s Banda: De Genocide van Jan Pieterszoon Coen\, an analysis of the 1621 Dutch genocide and enslavement of the Bandanese people.\n\nThe last part of the exhibit highlights the speakers scheduled to deliver lectures at an end-of-semester anniversary symposium.

Map ≠ Territory deconstructs maps that have been used to subjugate\, appropriate\, and oppress\, as well as the maps that counter that power through emancipation and advocacy. The exhibit critically engages with materials that span from the colonial era to modern-day Detroit.\n\nThe exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours.

How do we find a safe place\, protected from bad weather and circumstance\, in an era of floods\, fires\,violence\, abuse and pandemics? \n\nSnelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds\, private and public. \n\nSnelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency\, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory\,” or open studio\, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves\, and the rooms change\, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence. \n\nSnelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects\, bright colors\, light\, video\, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance\, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed\, while at the same time\, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live. \n\nThrough workshops guided by Snelling\, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home\, safety\, and dreams. \n\nThe experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room\, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels\, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.\n\nThe mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging\, or where we come from\, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations. \n\nSnelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist\, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination. \n\nIn her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*\, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. \n\n “The ongoing lack of affordable health care\, systematic racism\, class division\, economic downturn\, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…\,\" states Snelling. \"By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally\, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”\n\n-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator\n\nThe overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak\, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton\, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.\n\nThe project has included workshops with groups across the U-M campus and further afield in the regional community at spaces including the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC)\, The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center and Freighthouse Day Shelter\, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti\; and shelter for New Americans in Hamtramck. Thanks to U-M student and Delonis caseworker Alexzandra McCrum\, A2AC Gallery Director Ashley Miller\, Stamps MDes students and Stamps professor Nick Tobier for all of your guidance and help facilitating these outreach engagements.\n\nThe Disaster Proof mobile unit will be exhibited at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival in the Michigan Theater\, Tuesday March 22 - Sunday March 27\, 2022. Snelling’s short film A Poem is a City\, created in collaboration with Arthur Debert\, will be in competition as part of this year’s AAFF programming. A *Disaster Proof* community installation will appear at the Ann Arbor Art Center beginning in mid-April in connection with the A2AC Gallery’s inaugural exhibition\, *Sharing Space* (May 20 - July 8\, 2022).

In the process\, many of them have been arrested\, brutalized\, censored\, deported\, imprisoned\, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.\n\nThe U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911\, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.

Though operatic in some ways—it prizes the beauty of the human voice—it deviates from convention by conveying its narrative through music and movement\, but not words. It was one of many that redefined the experience of opera in the 1980s and ‘90s. This presentation traces the development of Atlas\, using the story of its creation as a window into broader transformations in American opera at the end of the twentieth century.\n\nRyan Ebright is a musicologist at Bowling Green State University. His work on 20th-century and contemporary opera has appeared in the New York Times\, New Yorker\, Cambridge Opera Journal\, and American Music. His current book project\, Making American Opera after “Einstein\,” centers on the efforts of artists and institutions over the last forty years to redefine American opera. As a public scholar\, he has given talks for the Los Angeles Philharmonic\, Opera Philadelphia\, and Toledo Symphony.\n\nThis is the third lecture of a six-lecture series. The subject of the series is Music in Detroit and Michigan: The Legend Continues. The next lecture in the series will take place March 24\, 2022. The title is Music of Arab America. Learn from well-known experts about an array of interesting subjects\, with an interactive Q&A period following each lecture.\n\nPreregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone.

Mobley\, M.D.\, Ph.D.\, University of California\, San Diego DESCRIPTION:Synapse dysfunction and loss are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)\, responsible for its clinical manifestations. Defining the molecular basis for deficits in synapse structure and function are essential for elucidating AD pathogenesis and promise to enhance discovery of effective treatments. Elderly adults with Down syndrome (DS) demonstrate many of the clinical and pathological manifestations of AD\; the condition is referred to as AD-DS. While age is an important risk factor for both AD and AD-DS\, how age intersects with underlying changes in brain function are unclear. Studies in DS provide an opportunity to decipher the biology that underlies the impact of age on the genetic factor known to be necessary for AD-DS\, an increase in APP copy number. Studies of synapse dysfunction and loss are not well investigated in those with AD-DS. We will explore the age by gene interaction through cell biological and in vivo studies in a mouse model and in the AD-DS brain. \n\n\n**About the Speaker**\nWilliam Mobley is a Distinguished Professor of Neurosciences and Associate Dean for Neurosciences Initiatives at the University of California\, San Diego.

Although media philosophers have argued since the twentieth century that media are fundamental to being human\, this question has not been explicitly asked and answered in the field. Armond R. Towns demonstrates that humanity in media philosophy has implicitly referred to a social Darwinian understanding of the human as a Western\, white\, male\, capitalist figure. Building on concepts from Black studies and cultural studies\, Towns develops an insightful critique of this dominant conception of the human in media philosophy and introduces a foundation for Black media philosophy. On Black Media Philosophy deftly illustrates that media are not only important for Western Humanity but central to alternative Black epistemologies and other ways of being human.

The advent of electric propulsion technology resulting in multi-year\, low-thrust missions has inspired investigation into enhanced optimization techniques for designing the ensuing trajectories more efficiently. Moreover\, the complex sub-systems of these low thrust engines (like DAWN’s NSTAR\, NEXT\, Psyche’s SPT-140) provide unprecedented system-level challenges for co-optimization of trajectory and spacecraft for a holistic optimized mission. This work describes novel extensions of classical indirect methods to optimize such systems involving inequality constraints\, discontinuities in states and controls and abrupt time triggered events. Furthermore\, innovative methods will be introduced that enable multiple preliminary trade-off aspects like mission objectives\, propulsion constraints\, solar power sub-systems and parameters\, trajectory design and operational constraints. These challenges are addressed by an ingenious inclusion of spacecraft system level optimization in the preliminary mission design phase. The result is an indirect multi-disciplinary optimization (MDO) family of methods for missions. The approach is a fusion of invariant embedding\, and mixed integer nonlinear programming with calculus of variation that very significantly expands the current class of trajectory optimization problems solvable by classical methods. The work also introduces an original stochastic\, covariance constrained guidance approach for strategizing tracking\, re-planning and associated contingencies for space missions. This novel contribution to the literature is anticipated to be the initiating step towards an autonomous guidance approach that enables cooperative autonomy\, reliability and precision of future missions. The presented methods yield breakthrough recipes for system-level optimization involving realistic discrete operational constraints/events/multi-mode actuators with an attribute of real-time re-planning capability. The optimization approach while demonstrated on aerospace dynamical systems has a wide applicability.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nVishala Arya is a Ph.D. candidate at the aerospace department of Texas A & M University working under the supervision of Dr. John Junkins. Her research strengths are analytical dynamics\, orbital mechanics\, optimal control\, system optimization and computational methods. She is currently researching direct and indirect-based methods for mission design including co-optimization of spacecraft\, trajectory\, and propulsion parameters of multi-mode solar propulsion systems. Her research also includes autonomous and fault-tolerant guidance of spacecraft for low thrust interplanetary maneuvers\, and stochastic control principles for non-linear systems. She is a recipient of John V Breakwell award at AAS Space Flight Mechanics conference and a student paper award at the AAS Guidance\, Navigation and Control conference. She is currently a research fellow at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory working on the Grace Follow-On mission.

In this presentation\, Dr. Gurses will describe how human factors and systems engineering principles and approaches can be used (1) to systematically identify hazards to patient safety and health care worker safety given the complex\, adaptive\, nonlinear nature of health care work systems\; and (2) to develop effective interventions with the purpose of eliminating and/or mitigating these hazards and improving adaptive capacity and resilience of the frontline care work. Application examples will be from a variety of health care settings (i.e.\, emergency department\, operating rooms\, home care)\, and focus areas (e.g.\, safety of care transitions/ handoffs\, COVID-19 personal protective equipment use\, and the safety of air flow management in clinical settings).\n\nThe Departmental Seminar Series is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nPresenter Bio:\nAyse P. Gurses\, Ph.D.\, MS\, MPH\n\nDirector\, Center for Health Care Human Factors\, Armstrong Institute\, Johns Hopkins Medicine\n\nProfessor\, Schools of Medicine\, Bloomberg Public Health\, Whiting Engineering\, Johns Hopkins University\n\nDr. Gurses is a globally recognized researcher\, educator\, and thought leader in infusing human factors engineering principles and methods into health care with the goal to design better and safer work environments and systems for improving patient safety and health care worker safety. She is the Founding Director of the Center for Health Care Human Factors at the Johns Hopkins Armstrong Institute and Professor in the Johns Hopkins University Schools of Medicine\, Bloomberg Public Health and Whiting Engineering. She is the author of more than 100 peer-reviewed publications on human factors engineering\, patient safety and quality of care\, and health care worker safety. \nDr. Gurses has conducted research in a variety of care settings\, including hospitals\, ambulatory care\, long-term care\, and home care\, as well as transitions of care between these settings. Her current research efforts include\, but not limited to\, re-engineering complex work systems to reduce healthcare-associated infections\, improving safe management air flow and aerosol generating procedures in the operating rooms to reduce infection transmission\, modeling cognitive and team work to improve diagnostic safety in emergency departments\, improving safety care transitions/ handoffs\, and improving medication safety among older adults using human-centered design approaches. Her research program has been funded by the CDC\, AHRQ\, NIH\, NSF\, multiple foundations and private institutions. Dr. Gurses served as a member of an ad-hoc National Academies Committee on a 2-year effort that produced the 2022 report titled “Frameworks for Protecting Workers and the Public from Inhalation Hazards.” She also served as an Editor/ Scientific Editor for several journals in her field of expertise and currently is an Executive Committee Member of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. Dr. Gurses received multiple awards for her contributions to the science of safety\, including the Federation of Associations in Behavioral and Brain Sciences Foundation Award\, Liberty Mutual Award on Safety\, and the International Ergonomics Association Best Paper Award in Occupational Safety and Ergonomics.\nIn addition to advancing the science of safety\, Dr. Gurses’s health care human factors program has had a wide practical impact in the frontline clinical work. For example\, when the Ebola epidemic hit in 2014\, she led the Armstrong Institute’s efforts in partnering with the CDC to develop a web-based training to prepare health care professionals for potential Ebola cases by integrating human factors and industrial engineering\, implementation science\, and public health principles and methods with infection control and prevention and clinical expertise. Currently\, as part of the CDC’s Project Firstline Initiative\, and in collaboration with the JHU Applied Physics Laboratory\, Dr. Gurses is leading a large-scale\, multidisciplinary\, innovative project aimed at improving infection prevention and control in the operating rooms across the nation.

Stars form in heavily obscured molecular clouds\, and understanding the initial conditions of star formation persists as one of the leading problems of modern astrophysics. Beyond the Milky Way—especially in high-redshift galaxies—the physical processes driving star formation become even more challenging to decipher. In this talk\, I will show how we can advance the field by making vital connections between local\, extragalactic\, and early universe star formation. I will discuss theoretical models that explore the cosmological evolution of interstellar dust. I will then present state-of-the-art ALMA observations\, which are opening new windows onto star formation in a wide variety of environments beyond the Milky Way.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited form of heart disease\, and one of the most common sites of disease causing mutations is beta cardiac myosin\, the motor protein responsible for contraction. While HCM is characterized clinically by muscle cell (cardiomyocyte) growth and hypercontractility\, HCM mutations cause a diverse range of effects on the molecular function of myosin that has important implications for disease severity and treatment options. Using gene-edited human induced pluripotent stem cells in engineered environments\, I measured the effects of these mutations at the cellular scale\; namely: increased traction force generation\, increased cell size\, increased signaling of hypertrophic pathways\, and altered cytoskeletal and cell junction organization. I have used computational models to link measured changes in molecular and cellular biomechanics\, probed sources of cellular variability\, and identified mechanisms of hypercontractility. In addition to cardiomyocyte hypertrophy\, myofibroblast activation contributes to fibrotic tissue remodeling in many cardiac conditions and is affected by changes in tissue mechanics and interactions with other cardiac cells. In my doctoral research\, I found that therapeutic targeting of a cadherin expressed in myofibroblasts and inflammatory cells after MI can limit harmful remodeling. My research leverages engineering tools to clarify the mechanical and biological mechanisms of cardiac disease and can help inform the development and application of new therapies for HCM and other cardiac diseases. \n\nBio:\nAlison Schroer Vander Roest received her undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering at the University of Virginia. She then received a PhD in biomedical engineering at Vanderbilt University with Dr. Dave Merryman\, studying fibroblast mechanobiology and the role of cadherin-11 in fibrotic and inflammatory remodeling after myocardial infarction. After completing her doctoral work\, Dr. Vander Roest pursued postdoctoral training at Stanford University as part of a collaborative team between the mechanical and bioengineering\, biochemistry\, and pediatric cardiology departments. Her project at Stanford has been co-mentored by Dr. Beth Pruitt\, Dr. Jim Spudich\, and Dr. Dan Bernstein and aims to understand mechanisms linking mutations in beta-cardiac myosin to phenotypes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using stem cell models and engineered environments. Dr. Vander Roest has also developed collaborations to incorporate transcriptome analysis\, FRET tension sensors\, and computational modeling of myosin kinetics to better understand cardiomyocyte mechanobiology. This project has been awarded a K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award that will fund future research into multiscale mechanisms of cardiac disease.  \n\nZoom Link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96508834308\n\nOrganized by:\nDr. Brendon Baker\,\nAssistant Professor\, Biomedical Engineering\n\nDr. David Nordsletten\,\nAssociate Professor\, Department of Biomedical Engineering and Cardiac Surgery UID:93213-21701540@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/93213 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,bme,engineering,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 1130 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220303T164445 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20220317T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20220317T180000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:“What Does It Mean to Keep a Secret?” Film Series DESCRIPTION:Join the Jean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies for a hybrid film series on the topic of \"Secrets.\"\n\nDocumenting Secret Origins\nDr. Deborah Porter\, University of Washington\, Seattle\nMarch 10\, 4pm\nHybrid\nZoom Registration: https://myumi.ch/G11Qg\nNorth Quad Room 2435\n\nDrawing from her research on the impact of family secrets on psychological functioning and organization\, Dr. Porter approaches Michal Weits' Blue Box and Shir Newman's How to Say Silence as cultural objects that have much to offer researchers interested in human behavior and motivation.

In magnetic solids\, the chirality of spin textures is derived from the twisting habit of neighboring atomic spins. I will discuss dynamical processes\, specifically thermal fluctuation processes\, which are transient but generate a net chiral habit in a magnetic solid. Through their coupling to local magnetic moments\, conduction electrons feel this chiral habit\; hence\, (thermo-) electric transport coefficients\, which are time-averaged quantities\, allow us to distinguish two scenarios: (1) Short-range spin correlations\, where a small cluster of magnetic moments is sufficient to describe the physical properties of the thermally disordered solid and (2) Longer-range correlations\, such as dynamically nucleating and decaying skyrmions. I introduce toy model systems which realize Kagome and triangular lattices of magnetic moments\, and discuss the role of lattice geometry in promoting these fluctuation phenomena. Finally\, I will show that the thermal Hall effect of magnetic insulators can also have a contribution related to thermal fluctuations of spin-chiral nature.\n UID:92985-21698764@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/92985 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20220401T123107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20220317T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20220317T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Your pathway to a career of social impact with City Year!

David wrote about his family’s experiences in his book – many of which centered around U-M – in his book\, A Good American Family: The Red Scare and My Father\, and will discuss how this period of heightened ideological tension still reverberates today\, especially given our own era of increasing political engagement and polarization.\n\nHosted by Gary Krenz.

His most recent book\, A Good American Family: The Red Scare and My Father\, should be of particular interest to the University and to the Ann Arbor Community at large. Both Maraniss's parents\, Elliot and Mary\, were student activists at the University of Michigan in the late 1930s. His uncle\, Robert Cummins\, was one of three students who volunteered in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and fought in the Spanish Civil War in defense of the Republic. In his book Maraniss offers an account of his parents' anti-fascist activism at the University\, his father's work as a reporter and editor at the Michigan Daily (alongside Arthur Miller)\, and the persecution his parents suffered during the McCarthy era. In 1952 his father was called to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. After refusing to name names\, Elliot Maraniss was fired from his job at the Detroit Times and endured five years of being blacklisted from the newspaper business. Maraniss's presentation will bring to light a largely forgotten chapter in the history of the University and the Detroit area. His family's experiences in a period of heightened ideological tensions should resonate with a broad audience and prompt a serious discussion\, given our own era of increasing political polarization.

The duo began collaborating at University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre\, & Dance in 2019. They found common ground despite coming from different backgrounds with Hannah from Irish fiddling and Grant from American improvisational idioms.\n\nIn August 2021 they released their first duo record\, “Windward.” This album features a collection of their original tunes but also some of their takes on fiddling standards. Their arrangements have been worked up without notation and sometimes incorporate improvised sections. While the duo feels at home on double fiddle\, they also change instrumentation often incorporating tenor guitar and nyckelharpa. Their musical interests are broad and as a result their programs showcase an eclectic assemblage of repertoire.\n---\nProof of COVID vaccination required for entry.

After returning home to London\, Broadwood consulted with many of England's finest pianists to choose the best of his newest Broadwood pianos\, which he sent to Beethoven as a gift. Inscribed above the nameboard on the piano are the words: \"Hoc instrumentum est Thomas Broadwood londini donum propter ingenium illustrissimi Beethoven.\" [This instrument from Thomas Broadwood of London is a true gift to the illustrious Beethoven.]\n\nUpon hearing that the piano was being sent to him\, Beethoven wrote to Broadwood: \"My dearest friend Broadwood\, I have never felt a greater pleasure than that given me by the anticipation of the arrival of this piano\, with which you are honouring me as a present. I shall regard it as an altar on which I shall place my spirit’s most beautiful offerings to the divine Apollo. As soon as I receive your excellent instrument\, I shall send you the fruits of the first moments of inspiration I spend at it\, as a souvenir for you from me\, my very dear B.\, and I hope that they will be worthy of your instrument. My dear sir and friend\, accept my warmest consideration\, from your friend and most humble servant\, Louis Van Beethoven. Vienna\, 3rd February 1818.”\n\nThe piano featured in tonight's performance was built approximately ten years before Beethoven's Broadwood. It has a smaller compass of notes and less string tension\, but retains many acoustical similarities to the piano Beethoven received and played.\n\nattend in person or watch livestream at https://myui.ch/McIntoshTheatre UID:92571-21692638@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/92571 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Culture,Free,Music,North campus LOCATION:Earl V.
