SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 836 Seminar Series: Robert R. Fox\, PhD\, CPE
DESCRIPTION:Robert R. Fox\, PhD\, CPE\, General Motors\n\nTitle: International Ergonomics Standards\, Their Development and Challenges: A Perspective from a Corporate Ergonomist\n\nBio: Bob Fox has 30 years of experience in the field of ergonomics\, human  factors and physical anthropology.  He holds a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from Texas Tech University and has worked in General Motors North American and global ergonomics activities since late 1993. He has worked with divisions\, plants and the UAW-GM joint ergonomics program on addressing proactive ergonomics concerns and in developing and issuing ergonomics guidelines and evaluation tools and methods.  He is also involved with the development and presentation of advanced and specialized ergonomics training programs and special projects for GM.  He chairs the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to the International Standards Organization (ISO) for anthropometry and biomechanics and participates on various work groups for ANSI and ISO standards and technical reports on ergonomics.  He chairs the Technical Standards Division of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) which involves coordination and oversight of most human factors and ergonomics standards development in the USA.  He is currently an industry representative on a NIOSH developmental team for further MMH assessment tool development and participates in the NORA Musculoskeletal Cross-Sector Council.\n\nAbstract: The International Standards Organization (ISO) has technical committees devoted to the development and publication of voluntary standards in the ergonomics and human factors areas.  This presentation will discuss how the standards development process works and will focus on standards developments in the anthropometry and manual handling area.  The relevance of ergonomics standards to the industrial practitioner will be examined.   In particular\, the presentation will cover recent work on the revision of current lifting standards and efforts to involve industry and government in collaboration on standards work.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Life After Grad School Seminar | Atypical Adventures in Astrophysics:  Airplanes\, Airports\, and a School
DESCRIPTION:Deano Smith completed his Ph.D. in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Michigan in 2000\, studying dark matter distributions with Professor Gary Bernstein. His dissertation\, “Determining Field Galaxy Halo Masses Via the Weak Gravitational Lensing Effect\,” was based upon observations made using the BTC\, or “Big Throughput Camera\,” that he worked on developing\, testing\, and putting into service as part of his graduate program. The camera\, which was the largest high-throughput astronomical camera at the time\, was used on the 4-meter Victor Blanco Telescope at the Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile\, so he got some travel time and was able to enjoy the southern skies rather extensively. He was fortunate in the breadth of his astronomy experience\, having also worked with Joel Bregman and Mario Mateo on different research projects\, and having received advice\, tutelage\, and fun times at conferences with numerous faculty including Fred Adams\, Pat Seitzer\, and Gus Evrard. Since departing U of M with a two-body-academic problem\, he has taught high school science\, taught people to fly airplanes\, operated a small airport\, and held a tenure-track Research Scientist position in the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratories. He has now returned to teaching high school science at Greenhills School in Ann Arbor.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series- Hurricanes: What's Next?
DESCRIPTION:The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season has produced incredibly destructive storms\, and has raised many questions. What drives a hurricane? How accurate are hurricane models? How do authorities prepare for hurricanes and\, when destructive events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma happen\, how do we respond? Is this hurricane season a fluke\, or should we start planning for more/similar storms? In this Teach-Out\, we will explore the science of hurricanes\, hurricane forecasting and monitoring\, and with what confidence can we attribute these storms to a warming ocean.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding
DESCRIPTION:On view from September 8-October 14\, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Vital Signs for a New America
DESCRIPTION:On view from September 8-October 14\, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group: The influence of power priming on gender and sibilant perception
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nContemporary literature suggests that listeners use auditory and visual gender cues during /s/-/ʃ/ categorization. This study builds upon previous research on sibilant categorization by investigating whether self-perceived power\, “an individual’s relative capacity to modify others’ states by providing or withholding resources or administering punishments” (Keltner et al. 2003)\, can serve as a mediating factor in gender and linguistic perception. Social processing seems to show some sensitivity to one's degree of self-perceived power - high-power individuals tend to attend less to information in conflict with their expectation of another according to the other’s social category. (Goodwin et al. 2000). I report whether gender cue congruity and the participant's primed degree of self-perceived power shapes the outcome of /s/-/ʃ/ categorization.\n\nParticipants were primed for a high or low degree of self-perceived power and completed a forced-choice identification task. During each trial\, participants saw an image of a face and heard one of a continuum of words ranging from \"shy\" to \"sigh\"\; they indicated whether they heard \"shy\" or \"sigh\". A mixed logistic regression revealed that participants overall were significantly more likely to respond “sigh” for a male voice (p<0.001) and male face (p=0.01). Participants primed for low-power were also significantly more likely to respond “sigh” when a given voice was paired with a male face\, relative to when it was paired with a female face (p<0.001) . Participants primed for high-power\, however\, were not significantly more likely to respond “sigh” for a given voice according to what face was paired with it (p=0.4). As hypothesized\, the responses of high-power participants showed less sensitivity to gender cue congruity than did those of low-power participants.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE285 Undergraduate Seminar: Making Good Decisions with Real-World Data
DESCRIPTION:Making good decisions with experimental or operational data is easy when everything is working well.  This seminar will discuss the different types of anomalous data seen in the real world\, methods for cleaning and reducing the data\, and how to present the data so that decision-makers can respond appropriately in both real-time and post-processed environments.  We will also explore the different types of decision-maker and discuss how the same dataset should be handled differently for each type.  All of these will be supported with examples of data collected from operational systems.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nRichard Walker graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering in 2005\, and a M.Eng. in Space Systems Engineering in 2006.  At Google\, he worked on the first versions of the Street View cars and imaging aircraft.  He then moved to SpaceX where he designed and built the solar arrays for the Cargo Dragon spacecraft as a Power Systems Engineer\, and then flew those panels to the International Space Station as an Operations Engineer.  After SpaceX\, he was the Satellite Operations Lead for Planet\, where he was responsible for the health and production of a fleet of 60+ Earth imaging satellites.  Finally\, he became an Operations Engineer at Zipline International\, responsible for digesting hundreds of flights of data a week to find actionable trends and anomalies.
