Rather than imagining it as a singular\, coherent object\, this exhibit seeks to introduce the diversity\, difference\, and complexity inherent in feminist activism in Japan. As in other cultural contexts\, “feminism” in Japan can invoke sharply different associations\, from office workers trying to reshape taken-for-granted structures of power and authority\, to mothers advocating for safer school lunches after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters\, and queer couples seeking legal recognition for the families they have created. Mainstream feminist activism in Japan has focused on advocating for change in families\, workplaces\, schools\, political institutions\, and laws\, among many other contexts. Many ­– but certainly not all – feminist activists in Japan are also responding to the lasting legacies of Japanese colonial projects\, working toward recognition\, repair\, and meaningful reparations for racial and gender-based violence that continue to impact communities disproportionately.\n\nThis exhibit features original portraits of feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. Created by nine contemporary artists in Japan and the United States\, the portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of \"feminism\" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences\, needs\, and activism within Japan. This exhibit also spotlights the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration. \n\n“Portraits of Feminism in Japan” is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.\n\nFeatured artists:\nElaine Cromie\, JenClare B.

COLLINS COLLEGIATE PROFESSORSHIP IN CHEMISTRY\, BIOPHYSICS AND BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY\, INAUGURAL LECTURE DESCRIPTION:Billions of safely given mRNA vaccine doses have saved millions of lives worldwide and proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that a transformative era of RNA Therapeutics is upon us\, with great promise for overcoming virtually all diseases within this century through personalized medicines. Yet RNA can do so much more! Since the human genome project was completed\, we know that at least 75% of our 3 billion DNA base pairs are transcribed into RNA\, with the vast majority not coding for proteins but rather for “non-coding” RNAs (ncRNAs). Many of these ncRNAs remain uncharacterized in terms of their structure and function\, spawning discussions of whether they are functional or not (and what “biological function” even is!). These applications and discoveries suggest that so far we have underestimated the far-reaching “RNA World” in our body\, which may well also have spawned life on earth. \nAfter an introduction to the power and benefits of these “new” and “old” RNA Worlds\, this seminar will highlight some of the foundational work by the Walter lab\, in which we use modern single molecule fluorescence microscopy to dissect and control the nanometer-sized RNA-protein assemblies that govern life\, and particularly gene expression. Specifically\, single molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) allows us to measure distances at the 2-8 nm scale\, whereas complementary super-resolution localization techniques measure distances in the 10 nm and longer range where biology occurs. Embracing the power of these technical advances\, we have combined single-molecule\, biochemical and computational simulation approaches to show that a bacterial riboswitch – controlled by a metabolite ligand – manipulates the speed of the much larger bacterial RNA polymerase. We posit that many more examples of such intimate coupling between RNA folding and gene expression remain to be discovered\, leading to opportunities to identify new Achilles’ heels of the many pathogens that threaten human health. In addition\, we are developing tools to observe single RNA nanomachines in action within their natural habitats inside living cells\, leading to discoveries that may guide the development of novel cancer-fighting approaches.\n\n\nIf you are unable to attend this lecture in person please see below.\n\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94011983924\nOr One tap mobile : \n US: +16468769923\,\,94011983924# or +16469313860\,\,94011983924# \nOr Telephone:\n Dial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\n US: +1 646 876 9923 or +1 646 931 3860 or +1 301 715 8592 or +1 305 224 1968 or +1 309 205 3325 or +1 312 626 6799 or +1 719 359 4580 or +1 253 205 0468 or +1 253 215 8782 or +1 346 248 7799 or +1 360 209 5623 or +1 386 347 5053 or +1 507 473 4847 or +1 564 217 2000 or +1 669 444 9171 or +1 669 900 6833 or +1 689 278 1000 \n Canada: +1 587 328 1099 or +1 647 374 4685 or +1 647 558 0588 or +1 778 907 2071 or +1 780 666 0144 or +1 204 272 7920 or +1 438 809 7799 \nWebinar ID: 940 1198 3924\n International numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/adhOU6qjZP\n\nOr an H.323/SIP room system:\n H.323: \n 162.255.37.11 (US West)\n 162.255.36.11 (US East)\n 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n 213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n 213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n 103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n 103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n 149.137.40.110 (Singapore)\n 64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n 149.137.68.253 (Mexico)\n 69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n 65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n 207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n 149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\n Meeting ID: 940 1198 3924\n SIP: 94011983924@zoomcrc.com UID:103679-21807635@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/103679 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,biological chemistry,Biophysics,Chemistry LOCATION:LSA Building - Multipurpose Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230302T130750 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230508T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Lone Bellow DESCRIPTION:New music!\n\nWhen songwriter Zach Williams met guitarist and fellow Southerner Brian Elmquist and vocalist Kanene Donehey Pipkin at Dizzy's Diner in Brooklyn for breakfast one morning in 2010\, the trio decided to jam. \"Three songs in\,\" Williams recalls\, \"I decided I should quit what I'm going and just make music with these people.\" The trio's music is exuberant in its playing\, welcoming in its attitude. Though the lyrics have a melancholic undercurrent\, the tracks are more often rave-ups than ruminations\, with swelling three-part harmonies and rousing group-sung choruses\;The name \"The Lone Bellow\" refers to a lonely bull Zach Williams heard on a childhood family trip. Indeed\, there is a strong familial feel to The Lone Bellow\, a recurring theme of inclusiveness. The Lone Bellow comes to The Ark with a new album\, “Love Songs for Losers.”\n\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/3961/3962 for more detail.

The core of the project has been to study Aratus’ \"Phaenomena\,\" the most important poem on stars and constellations of the Graeco-Roman ancient world\, and its exegetical tradition. Read an annotated edition and English translation of \"Phaenomena\" and its commentaries (https://aratus.classics.lsa.umich.edu/).
