SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Vestiges of Snake Cults: The Banana Python and His Sons
DESCRIPTION:Snake cults\, which were probably once prevalent among the indigenes of southern China\, have all but disappeared through the subjugation of snake deities (a.k.a. demons) by Buddhist monks\, Daoist priests and Shamanistic local deities. While most snake deities exist as defeated demons/demonesses in religious lore\, their power continues to be harnessed in some religious rituals and recognized in remote regions of Fujian. The Banana Python God and his three sons are a prominent example of their survival in transformed incarnations. In her presentation\, Dr. Fan Pen Chen of SUNY-Albany\, will share photos of temple murals as well as video recordings of string-puppet performances that depict the sacred tale of these snake gods.      \n\nDr. Fan Pen Chen is Associate Professor of East Asian Studies at SUNY-Albany. She is the author of Chinese Shadow Theater: History\, Popular Religion\, and Women Warriors\; Visions for the Masses: Chinese Shadow Plays from Shaanxi and Shanxi\; Marionette Plays from Northern China\; Journey of a Goddess: Chen Jinggu Subdues White Snake (forthcoming)\; and dozens of articles on Chinese drama\, fiction\, puppetry\, and folk religion.

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:Exhibition:Exhibition Presentation and Opening: The Future Needs..Something Blue
DESCRIPTION:Could anyone have foreseen the technical\, social\, and conceptual issues that have confronted the University of Michigan since its founding 200 years ago\, or the challenges it has faced in the last 100\, 50\, or even five years? In the marshaling of knowledge and expertise\, the greatest achievement of the University lies not in its continuity\, but in its ability to address the unforeseen. Drawing on the student work from the Taubman College Architecture Program\, “The Future Needs…Something Blue” addresses an idea of the future that lies not in the answers to questions we now know\, but in possibilities we are only now beginning to imagine. Sited at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning’s Liberty Research Annex\, the display is simultaneously shop window\, gallery\, and salon. Organized around a series of emergent themes it is an interactional space in which to view (in perspective\, parallax\, parallel\, and contrast) the multiple points of view that constitute the future.\n“The Future Needs…Something Blue” is curated by Associate Professor of Practice Julia McMorrough and Associate Professor John McMorrough of studioAPT (Architecture Practice Theory).\nOn Tuesday\, September 19 at 6:00pm there will be an opening reception at the Liberty Research Annex (305 W. Liberty St.\, Ann Arbor). Exhibition on view September 20 - October 29.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar: A Multi-Dimensional View of the U.S. Inertial Confinement Fusion Program
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) program is pursuing three major approaches with a goal of achieving multi-mega-Joule fusion yields in the laboratory: laser indirect drive\, laser direct drive\, and magnetic direct drive (MDD)\, each with unique physics and engineering challenges. There are\, however\, many commonalities in the plasma conditions and dynamics that occur near peak compression\, the need for new diagnostic capability\, and the need to control laser plasma instabilities (LPI). Greater cross-fertilization of expertise and ideas across the national program combined with advancements in experimental methods and new technologies is leading to new insights into the physical processes of each approach. Parallel efforts are underway to understand the length and temperature scaling of hydro-equivalent implosions and laser energy coupling from OMEGA to NIF\, while LPI mitigation and control experiments are being performed on NIF\, OMEGA\, and Nike\, all linked via a common LPI modeling platform. In MDD\, experiments at NIF\, OMEGA\, and Z have demonstrated effective gas heating for the laser preheating phase of the Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF). This talk re-views the status and future outlook of U.S. efforts in ICF through a comparison of the common challenges and key differences of the three major approaches and highlights of recent accomplishments and future plans.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Fast Radio Bursts - Nature's Latest Cosmic Mystery
DESCRIPTION:\nAbstract: Fast Radio Bursts are millisecond-duration pulses of unknown origin that were discovered by pulsar astronomers in 2007. A decade on from the discovery\, with only 20 further bursts currently known\, fast radio bursts remain enigmatic sources which parallel the early days of gamma-ray burst astronomy in the early 1970s. I will tell the story of their discovery\, summarize what we know about them so far\, describe the science opportunities these bursts present\, and make predictions for what we will learn in the next decade. \n\nBio sketch: Duncan Lorimer got his PhD in 1994 for his contributions to Pulsar Astronomy from the University of Manchester in the UK working under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Lyne\, Dick Manchester and Matthew Bailes. Since then he has held positions at the University of Manchester (Lecturer\; 1994-5)\; the Max-Planck-Institute for Radio Astronomy (Postdoctoral Fellow\; 1995-8)\; Cornell University (Postdoctoral Fellow\; 1998-2001)\; University of Manchester (Royal Society Research Fellow\; 2001-6) and West Virginia University (Faculty\; 2006-present). He is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society since 1994. While at West Virginia University\, he has received a Cottrell Scholar Award (2008-present) from the Research Corporation for Scientific Advancement and has received both his College and University’s recognition for excellence in teaching (2009\, 2010). He is currently Associate Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Among his notable research achievements are his contributions to our understanding of the population of pulsars and the discovery of Fast Radio Bursts which he will describe in this talk. \n
