SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Fundamental Composite Models at the TeV scale
DESCRIPTION:New confining gauge theories offer a rich and robust phenomenology\, mostly dictated by their accidental symmetries. For example\, they naturally contain accidentally stable ‘baryon’ and/or ‘pion’ Dark Matter candidates. Moreover\, if the strong sector enjoys chiral and custodial symmetries\, it can offer a framework for Composite Higgs models\, where the Higgs doublet is a partially-composite light ’pion’. I will discuss how this can be made consistent with the flavor sector of the SM and comment on the main LHC phenomenology both in direct and indirect searches.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mei Lanfang and Twentieth Century Peking Opera: Transcultural Exchanges
DESCRIPTION:Mei Lanfang’s visit and performances abroad brought him to Japan in 1919\, to the United States in 1930\, and to the Soviet Union in 1935. While these performances helped introduce Peking Opera abroad and earned Mei Lanfang universal praise and admiration\, they more importantly gave Peking opera an opportunity to highlight\, for international audiences\, its new cultural identity\, to present its art as a modern aesthetic system\, and to project its claim to historical authenticity. The Peking opera presented there was not a form preserved from time immemorial\, but the outcome of an intense ideological debate among the younger generation of the cultural elite within China as to the validity of traditional Chinese theater with the most radical opinion denouncing Peking opera as the dregs of traditional society\, bond up with everything dispicable of the old social order and values\, and their opponents boldly claiming the modern relevancy of the form by actively engaging with international performing arts as present in Europe\, the US and Japan. Mei Lanfang’s carefully prepared international tours with the radically reformed Peking opera were to decide this debate and the domestic fate of genre altogether through international recognition by audiences that included foreign cultural elite and much of the international avant-garde. In this sense\, these tours were the catalyst and the crowning glory of the modernization of the genre. The talk will explore these tours in the context of the shifting self- definition\, self-narration and self-historization of Peking opera in its struggle to become China’s “national opera.”\n\n*Image:“Mei Lan-fang\, China’s Greatest Actor Here for His American Premiere.” Drawing\, 1930.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:See No Color
DESCRIPTION:We will read and discuss the title book by Shannon Gibney\, who grew up in Ann Arbor. \"...Gibney explores the myth of colorblindness in the context of transracial adoption in a story about Alex(andra)\, a biracial teen who was adopted by white parents as a very young child\" (Reading While White). It \"is receiving an unusual amount of attention...proving to be instructive\" (Minnesota Book Awards). The study group leader has led book discussions and taught science courses. Please read through Chapter 8 (p. 34) for the first class. Instructor: Dick Chase. This class for adults over 50 meets Wednesdays through October 26th. No class on October 12. \nhttps://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/858

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Digital Destiny
DESCRIPTION:Digital Destiny presents 20 sculptures in metal and found materials created over the past five years by the Cameroonian artist Dieudonne Fokou. Fokou experiments continuously with new media\, as he explores different modes of creation in the plastic arts. His work is nourished by themes of justice and the search for peace and liberty\, as well as by his travels\, problems inherent to his society as well as his hopes and dreams for a better world.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special Cosmology Seminar | The Kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect as a Cosmology Probe?
DESCRIPTION:Future data from galaxy redshift surveys\, combined with high-resolutions maps of the cosmic microwave background\, will enable measurements of the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) signal with unprecedented statistical significance. This signal probes the matter-velocity correlation function\, scaled by the average optical depth (tau) of the galaxy groups and clusters in the sample\, and is thus of fundamental importance for cosmology. However\, in order to translate pairwise kSZ measurements into cosmological constraints\, external constraints on tau are necessary. In this talk I will present the current state of kSZ measurements\, including a recent measurement by SPT and DES\, insights from simulations\, as well as recent progress in modeling the tau profile of galaxy clusters.
