SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution\, a concept for which there were few models. What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources\, and where should those resources come from?\n\nThis exhibit explores how students\, faculty\, staff\, politicians\, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Cut Ups: Paper Collage
DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Possession\, pop-up exhibition by Jaye Schlesinger
DESCRIPTION:Possession evolved in response to Ann Arbor artist Jaye Schlesinger’s interest in mindfulness and minimalism and the role they play in personal well being.  After disposing (selling\, recycling\, giving away) of everything that no longer served to enrich her life\, Schlesinger decided to merge this exercise with her art practice and depicted all of her remaining possessions in small oil paintings\, 380 in total. The paintings depict objects of functionality and ones of beauty\, eliciting contemplation and conversation about the ‘stuff’ we choose to live with.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Waiting for the Extraordinary installation by Mark Dion
DESCRIPTION:About the installation: As part of the Institute for the Humanities 2017-18  Year of Archives and Futures\, and in celebration of the U-M Bicentennial\, the Institute for the Humanities presents a new iteration of Mark Dion’s Waiting for the Extraordinary\, which was commissioned and first exhibited here in 2011. Inspired by the academic classifications invented by 19th-century Michigan Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward\, this new\, architecturally scaled installation serves as an archive of the original\, and presents a single room with thirteen plastic sculptures\, each representing one of Woodward’s professorships. As viewers peer into the space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge\, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it.\n\nAbout the artist: Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history\, knowledge\, and the natural world. “The job of the artist\,” he says\, “is to go against the grain of dominant culture\, to challenge perception and convention.” Appropriating archaeological\, field ecology\, and other scientific methods of collecting\, ordering\, and exhibiting objects\, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society\, tracking how pseudo-science\, social agendas\, and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections.  Titled Cosmogonic Tattoos\, his project will use adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity. \n\nLook for displays in the UMMA from April 22-Dec. 3\, the exterior of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Dec. 17\, and in the interior special exhibition space of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Sept. 10.\n\nFor information on-the-go about this event and all other Bicentennial happenings\, download our free mobile app: http://guidebook.com/g/umich200.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CUBA – PRIMARY CARE AND PUBLIC HEALTH – LESSONS LEARNED
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Cunningham is currently the Associate Dean of Global Health and Director of the \nInstitute for Global Health (IGH) at Michigan State University. He serves as a representative for the College of Osteopathic Medicine on the University Curriculum Committee. He is a graduate of the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine\, interned at Brentwood/Cleveland Clinic Hospital\, graduated from the Emergency Medicine residency program at Akron General Medical Center\, and has a Master’s degree in Health Administrations.\n\nSpeaker’s Synopsis: Ninety miles separate the U.S. from Cuba\, but since the Cuban \nrevolution\, the two countries have been worlds apart. The United States embargo\, the fall of the U.S.S.R.\, and the death of Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez have all had major economic impact on the Caribbean island and its ability to progress its standard of living. Although a low income country\, the socialist policies of Cuba have made great strides in the delivery of health care to their inhabitants\, as well as assisting other countries in need. How does a socialist country with a marginal economy provide the same longevity and infant mortality as the United States health system with all of its technology and resources?\n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Cuba: Our Neighbor in Transition. The next lecture in this series will be October 26\, 2017. The title is Religion in the Cuban Revolution.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U​–M art professor Jim Cogswell has been invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project\, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. The juxtaposed images will address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.\nCosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3\, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17\, 2017.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Brazil and 'Modern Japanese Literature'
DESCRIPTION:It is not well known that Brazil is home to the largest number of persons of Japanese descent outside of Japan itself\, with a population that likely exceeds that of the United States. Still less known is the fact that this population possesses a century-long history of not only consuming Japanese-language literature\, but also producing it. This talk will present a brief overview of this history\, with a focus on its early decades (1908-1941)\, and then consider ways that this history prompts us to reconsider many of the tacit and explicit presumptions that underlie the field of modern Japanese literature. \n    \nEdward Mack teaches modern Japanese literature and film at the University of Washington. His book\, _Manufacturing Modern Japanese Literature_\, examines the relationship between the concept of a national literature and the publishing industry. His current project is on the reading and writing of literature in the Japanese immigrant community in Brazil prior to the Second World War.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mark Owkes: Gas-Liquid Flows: Numerical Methods through Simulations on Supercomputers
DESCRIPTION:Gas-liquid flows exist within many engineering devices including fuel injectors\, wave energy extraction devices\, fire suppression systems\, and PEM fuel cells. Many of these flows are challenging to explore experimentally and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations o↵er an alternative and useful approach to advance our understanding. For example\, the breakup of liquid fuel into droplets via atomization has a direct effect on combustion efficiency and pollutant formation\, yet a fundamental understanding of the complex process is absent. Laboratory experiments are inherently difficult to conduct because atomizing jets produce a large number of opaque droplets that hinder optical access to the breakup dynamics. With increasing computational resources and advancements in numerical methods\, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a promising tool to investigate the fundamental nature of atomization. In this presentation\, I will present an overview of difficulties arising due to the discontinuities that exist at the gas-liquid interface and recent advances in numerical methods that overcome these challenges. Then I will discuss efforts to improve the the usefulness of the very large data-sets that result from CFD simulations. Details on computing the curvature of a gas-liquid interface\, implementing contact line dynamics\, performing physics extraction\, and coupling gas-liquid flow calculations with uncertainty quantification we be discussed.\n\nBio: Mark Owkes is an Assistant Professor in the department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Montana State University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Romance and Reality in the Mythical Mission Past:  How We Found the Long-lost Spanish Mission on St. Catherines Island
DESCRIPTION:Nostalgia and romance have long surrounded the Franciscan and Jesuit missions of America’s Spanish Borderlands\, in the process coloring how we all perceive the surviving archaeological record. From San Francisco (California)\, through the American Southwest to St. Augustine (Florida)\, a mainstream national narrative has constructed and perpetuated an idealized\, romanticized version of the Spanish mission in America – complete with Mission Revival architectural styles\, reconstructed archaeological sites that sometimes resemble Hollywood stage sets\, and last year’s controversial sainthood of Fr. Junipero Serra. This illustrated talk draws upon the speaker’s most recent archaeological evidence from across the Spanish Borderlands—including the four decades of (still on-going) excavations on St. Catherines Island (Georgia)—to suggest more historically-appropriate perspectives on America’s mission heritage.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Panos Papadopoulos: Multiscale Modeling in Continuum Mechanics: A connection to the Irving-Kirkwood procedure
DESCRIPTION:This talk describes a method for extending the classical Irving-Kirkwood procedure used in statistical mechanics for extracting local fluxes to the problem of continuum-on-continuum multiscale modeling. Expressions for stress and heat flux derived here are contrasted to those obtained using the standard Hill-Mandel approach. The polar nature of the macroscopic solid and the role of multiscale invariance are also addressed in the context of this method. Applications are explored within the finite element-based homogenization of solids.\n\nBio: Panos Papadopoulos is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and director of the Computational Solid Mechanics Laboratory. After obtaining his Diploma in Civil Engineering from the Aristotle University\, Greece\, he moved to California to pursue his graduate studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Cyberphysical Flight Planning for Nominal and Emergency Situations
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will describe fusion of traditional sensor data with new data from the Internet of Things (IoT) to provide better situational awareness to an autonomous flight planner.  IoT/sensor data fusion can substantially improve real-time contingency response including emergency flight planning\, and can enable a manned or unmanned aircraft to plan a route that minimizes risk based on entities on the ground as well as airborne objects and atmospheric conditions.  Of particular interest is modeling and consideration of power and thermal profiles for efficient fixed-wing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) that host high-performance processing and solar energy harvesting systems that generate comparable power and thermal loads to propulsion system components. Nominal flight plans accomplish mission goals and satisfy constraints\, e.g.\, energy balance\, turbulence. Emergency landing plans are computed in real-time as needed to minimize risk to people and property on the ground as well as risk to the UAS when possible. Data sources investigated in our previous work include building\, terrain\, and street maps along with cell phone data. IoT data metrics include applicability\, currency\, availability\, cost\, and security. Data with potentially high value must be processed and communicated in the most efficient manner to support decision-making. The flight planner in turn must account for new IoT information through novel cost and reward metrics\, performance and safety constraints\, and means to deal with uncertainty and gaps in real-time data feeds. A combination of discrete (e.g.\, limited-horizon search\, Markov Decision Process) and geometric (e.g.\, Dubins) methods support the spectrum of hard real-time emergency response to long-term mission optimization activities required.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nDr. Ella Atkins is a Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan\, where she is director of the Autonomous Aerospace Systems (A2SYS) Lab.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Back to the Future: What is new in Trump's \"New\" Cuba Policy?
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation Raul Rodríguez will discuss what is really new in President Trump’s approach to Cuba and its possible impact for the island’s economic and political evolution\, its relations with other international actors\, and Cubans in the United States.\n\nThe use of Cuba policy as an exchange coin to favor the Cuban American right-wing in South Florida is not new. It was President Obama who really introduced a new dynamic by not taking that community into account in his December 17\, 2014 re-establishment of relations with Cuba.\n\nWhile is it unlikely that bilateral relations will return to the past\, Presidents Trump’s regulatory  changes  do stall progress and introduce uncertainly to the business climate and tension to the previous political environment.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM Theory Seminar | Quantum Dynamics with Statistical Effects and Statistical Models of Quantum Effects
DESCRIPTION:The capability of electronic structure to calculate the wavefunctions\, and even dynamics of large systems has improved dramatically. This has put electronic structure into an uncomfortable regime where statistical effects become as important as the correlation problem. I will discuss our efforts to describe mixed-state electronic dynamics with density matrix equations of motion\, and the applications of those theories to ultrafast experiments. \n\nRealtime mean field theories such as RT-TDDFT and RT-TDHF dominate applications because of the speed required to access picosecond timescales. Yet TDHF and TDDFT are not accurate enough to properly model resonant driving\, which is only one ingredient in ultrafast spectroscopy. In this talk I discuss a simple density-matrix equation of motion implemented as an approximation to RT-TDDFT\, which excites properly on resonance. Based on this foundation I compare the non-equilibrium steady states of the correct DFT and a Markovian bath model\, with essentially exact results coming from HEOM showing that TDDFT can be used to study driven ultrafast dynamics. I then discuss self-consistency in correlated corrections to TDDFT which have low cost and can be applied to large systems.\n\nStatistical sampling of molecular geometries has become an equally important issue\, although empirical density functionals\, which are the most practical tools for exploring geometries\, make an ambiguous mixture of quantum physics and statistical modeling. I will demonstrate purely statistical models of molecular structure\, and show that in the near future it is likely that purely empirical models of the PES will have several appealing advantages over empirical hybrids. of quantum mechanical models with statistics.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: The influence of temperature\, productivity and food resources on biodiversity and range shifts
DESCRIPTION:Faunal and floral diversity are strongly correlated with climate. But whether the mechanistic climate-diversity link is direct through physiology\, clade-scale ecological or evolutionary climatic affinities\, or indirect through food resources and population sizes remains largely untested simultaneously. We assessed mammal diversity and population sizes\, arthropod biomass\, vegetation biomass\, climate (temperature\, precipitation) and productivity (NPP) across 32 sites spread among four elevational transects in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Structural equation modeling only detected support for a direct diversity-productivity relationship. In contrast\, the indirect “more individuals hypothesis” mediated through productivity’s influences on food resources was not supported. This suggests that high productivity areas represent an optimal environment whether that is due to contemporary climatic sorting or deeper-time\, evolutionary underpinnings of climate during diversification.\nDue to the strong climate associations of most clades\, the implications of climate change to fauna and flora on mountains are predicted to be dire. But the rush to assess species’ responses to anthropogenic climate change has underestimated the importance of interannual population variability. Using population simulations across a realistic\, empirically-based gradient in population variability\, the frequency and magnitude of population peaks and troughs greatly impact the accuracy of our climate change response measurements regardless of taxonomic group. Based on results for measurements of population decline\, local extirpation\, and range shifts\, several types of studies of climate change responses are not encouraged and additional sampling regimes are suggested to overcome biases associated with interannual population fluctuations.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: The Appropriation of Indigenous Knowledge from the \"Discovery\" of Rainbow Bridge to the Glen Canyon Dam Debates
DESCRIPTION:The stakes surrounding the construction of regional dams\, like Glen Canyon Dam\, were especially high for Native Americans. Such projects were built not only on Indigenous land\, but also depended on the appropriation of Indigenous knowledge. This talk traces how settlers\, scientists\, explorers\, and engineers sought to possess Indigenous knowledge and ended up creating an infrastructure of dispossession in the process. Indigenous people\, in turn\, engineered a variety of responses to retain possession of their land\, control religious activities\, foster greater cross-cultural understanding\, and manage their natural resources.\n\nProfessor Bsumek is currently associate professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin.  She earned a BA at the University of Utah and PhD from Rutgers University. She has written on Native American history\, environmental history\, the history of the built environment\, and the history of the US West. She is author of Indian-made: Navajo Culture in the Marketplace\, 1848-1860 (University Press of Kansas\, 2008) and the co-editor a collection of essays on global environmental history titled Nation States and the Global Environment: New Approaches to International Environmental History (Oxford University Press\, 2013). Her current research explores the social and environmental history of the area surrounding Glen Canyon Dam on the Utah-Arizona border from the 1840s to the present. The working title of the book\, currently under contract\, is \"Damming Zion: Mormons\, American Indians\, and the Fight for Resources on the Colorado Plateau\, 1800 to the Present.\" She is also working on a larger project that examines the impact that large construction projects (dams\, highways\, cities and suburbs) had on the American West which is tentatively titled \"The Concrete West: Engineering Society and Culture in the Arid West\, 1900-1970.\" She has written op-eds for publications such as Time\, Huffington Post\, Al Jazeera America\, and Pacific Standard and is currently a Provost's Teaching Fellow.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Modernism and the Little Glass Dress
DESCRIPTION:Preceding the Little Black Dress was another aesthetic\, less noticeable if only by virtue of its material properties: The Little Glass Dress. This aesthetic exploited the female body’s relation to its environment in terms that were literally transparent: beginning with aisthesis as an opportunity for architectural display\, but extending its relationship to encasement in multiple forms. This talk contends that the Little Glass Dress begins with the evolution of the department store\, glimpsed through Zola’s 1883 novel The Ladies’ Paradise\, and continues through to incarnations ranging from the late 19th century Manet painting A Bar at the Folies-Bergère. It then jumps into the 20th century through the looking glass of Coco Chanel’s mirrored atelier staircase\, and runs alongside the avant-garde Italian couturière Elsa Schiaparelli and some later 20th and 21st century contemporary artists and couturiers. In all\, we see what feminist scholars have tracked as “the opacity of femininity” take the shape of an increasingly less protean mode: one that cuts increasingly closer if not to the bone\, then to that scrim where world stops and skin begins.

DESCRIPTION:The Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering\nat Michigan Engineering invites you to attend\n\nTHE CAPTAIN RALPH R. AND FLORENCE PEACHMAN LECTURE\n\npresented by \n\nBas Buchner\nPresident\, MARIN\n\nFuture Ship\, Offshore and Nautical Research: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Operations\n\nDeveloping safe\, smart and clean ships\, offshore structures and ports is the challenge of the maritime industry. What sort of trends do we foresee in transport over sea\, naval ships\, offshore energy and nautical port design? Is it really possible to develop zero emission ships? Is offshore renewable energy going to be an alternative for offshore oil and gas? Do floating ports and cities help in times of sea level rise and overpopulation? Research should be focused on supporting this challenge.  What should be our focus in this research? What interesting physics need to be studied? What will be the tools of the future? What is the role of the human factor in this?\n\n\nThursday\, October 19\, 2017 at 4 pm\nGeneral Motors Room\, Lurie Engineering Center\n\n*Reception immediately following.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Annual Blue-Green Seminar: Brent H. Shanks
DESCRIPTION:Brent H. Shanks is the Mike and Jean Steffenson Chair and the \nAnson Marston Distinguished Professor in Engineering in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Iowa State University\n\n\nABSTRACT\n\nMuch of the effort in converting biomass to biobased chemicals has been driven by the retrosynthesis of target molecules. An alternative approach is the synthesis of “bioprivileged molecules” that are biology-derived chemical species that can be readily converted to a diversity of chemical products including drop-in replacements and novel species\, which can be used for next generation materials\, specialty chemicals\, nutraceuticals\, antimicrobials\, insecticides\, herbicides\, consumer goods\, etc. The dual potentiality of a bioprivileged molecule is vital in creating value from biomass since innovative bioproducts represents a powerful driver for the development of biobased chemicals beyond just replacing fossil carbon with renewable carbon. The important role of these molecules has been demonstrated as key intermediates in the integration of biology and chemistry by our NSF Engineering Research Center for Biorenewable Chemicals (CBiRC). Several examples of bioprivileged molecules being developed by CBiRC will be discussed.\n\nThis is the Annual Blue/Green Seminar\, a joint lecture series inaugurated in Winter 1982 between the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan and the Department of Chemical and Material Science Department at Michigan State University.

SUMMARY:Other:Trump\, North Korea\, and The Threat of World War 
DESCRIPTION:The unending series of inflammatory and reckless threats by Donald Trump and his top advisers against North Korea have provoked global fears that the world is being brought to the brink of a nuclear war and a catastrophic loss of human life.\nThe Trump administration’s relentless campaign of bellicose threats and military provocations makes clear that the danger of a catastrophic war\, which could drag in major powers such as China and Russia and escalate into a nuclear exchange\, is real and imminent. As he faces a mounting political crisis at home\, the US president may see a war with North Korea as a means of shoring up his administration and crushing domestic political opposition.\n\nBut the US drive to war is not simply the product of the fascistic President Trump. Rather\, he is the expression of the deepening political\, social and economic crisis of American imperialism\, which has sought to arrest its historic decline through its aggressive use of military might.\n\nThe IYSSE encourages you to attend our next public meeting about the danger of world war and our call to build a massive anti-war movement within the working class.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution\, a concept for which there were few models. What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources\, and where should those resources come from?\n\nThis exhibit explores how students\, faculty\, staff\, politicians\, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Cut Ups: Paper Collage
DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Under Covers: Encaustic & Mixed Media
DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Possession\, pop-up exhibition by Jaye Schlesinger
DESCRIPTION:Possession evolved in response to Ann Arbor artist Jaye Schlesinger’s interest in mindfulness and minimalism and the role they play in personal well being.  After disposing (selling\, recycling\, giving away) of everything that no longer served to enrich her life\, Schlesinger decided to merge this exercise with her art practice and depicted all of her remaining possessions in small oil paintings\, 380 in total. The paintings depict objects of functionality and ones of beauty\, eliciting contemplation and conversation about the ‘stuff’ we choose to live with.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Waiting for the Extraordinary installation by Mark Dion
DESCRIPTION:About the installation: As part of the Institute for the Humanities 2017-18  Year of Archives and Futures\, and in celebration of the U-M Bicentennial\, the Institute for the Humanities presents a new iteration of Mark Dion’s Waiting for the Extraordinary\, which was commissioned and first exhibited here in 2011. Inspired by the academic classifications invented by 19th-century Michigan Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward\, this new\, architecturally scaled installation serves as an archive of the original\, and presents a single room with thirteen plastic sculptures\, each representing one of Woodward’s professorships. As viewers peer into the space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge\, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it.\n\nAbout the artist: Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history\, knowledge\, and the natural world. “The job of the artist\,” he says\, “is to go against the grain of dominant culture\, to challenge perception and convention.” Appropriating archaeological\, field ecology\, and other scientific methods of collecting\, ordering\, and exhibiting objects\, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society\, tracking how pseudo-science\, social agendas\, and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Genomics & Antibiotic Resistance: a new paradigm
DESCRIPTION:Antibiotic resistant bacteria are a threat to modern medical practice. Antibiotics save us from life-threatening infections\, and are used extensively to prevent or heal infections stemming from medical interventions\, including surgery\, chemotherapy and organ transplantation. While it is fairly straightforward to identify bacteria resistant to therapy\, until the availability of genomics it was extremely difficult to trace the emergence and spread of specific mechanisms of resistance. At the October 20\, 2017 MAC-EPID symposium we will learn how genomics has transformed our understanding of the spread of antibiotic resistance and the spatial spread of pathogens.\n\nThis FREE partial-day symposium includes lunch so PLEASE REGISTER.

DESCRIPTION:During this (slide-less) edition of Conversations on Inclusion and Equity\, I will model TaMIA's version of these conversations and our approach for addressing issues in inclusion and equity.  TaMIA\, or Towards a More Inclusive Astronomy\, is a discussion group started by Mallory Molina at Penn State in 2016\, with current co-leaders Angie Wolfgang\, Caleb Cañas\, and Jonathan Jackson. We began as a grassroots effort to introduce intersectional discussions about equity and inclusion in our department\, highlighting the importance of the experiences of those with marginalized identities.  During this event\, I will take the participants through the typical structure of a meeting while talking about TaMIA's goals\, philosophy\, how and why we started\, as well as some lessons learned.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nAngie Wolfgang is a National Science Foundation Astronomy & Astrophysics Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Penn State doing research in exoplanet demographics and population-based astrostatistics\, and is co-leader for the Towards a More Inclusive Astronomy discussion group at Penn State.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Defense: Drift Counteraction Optimal Control
DESCRIPTION:Drift Counteraction Optimal Control: Theory and Applications to Autonomous Cars and Spacecraft\n\nIn many engineering systems there is an inherent tendency of process variables to drift. Such drift may be caused by large persistent disturbances (e.g.\, wind gusts) or when the control authority is limited (e.g.\, underactuated systems). In other systems\, similar drift is caused by finite resources (fuel\, energy\, component life\, etc.) being continuously depleted. This dissertation advances theory and methods for designing control algorithms that maximize the time or\, in general\, a yield function before a given system violates prescribed constraints. Such problems are referred to as drift counteraction optimal control (DCOC) problems since the controller may be viewed as counteracting drift in order to delay constraint violation. Both deterministic and stochastic settings of the DCOC problem are considered and new theoretical results are derived\, including properties of the objective function\, conditions under which a solution to the DCOC problem exists\, and characteristics of a solution. In addition\, new algorithms based on dynamic programming\, approximate dynamic programming\, and model predictive control are developed to solve the DCOC problem. Several engineering applications of DCOC are proposed with a focus on spacecraft control and driving policies for autonomous vehicles\, where the effectiveness of the developed approaches is demonstrated in numerical case studies.\n\nDissertation Committee:\nChair: Prof. Ilya V.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Interarts Modernism
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Burstein joins us for a conversation about visual culture and interdisciplinary methodologies with Xiaobing Tang (Asian Languages and Cultures)\, Andrea Zemgulys (English)\, Megan Berkobien (Comparative Literature)\, Grant Mandarino (Art History)\, and Amanda Greene (English)\n\n\nJessica Burstein is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Washington who works on modernism\, fashion\, the avant-garde\, and prosthetics. Her area of expertise is British literature from the late 19th century through the 1960s\, and its West European contexts. She has taught graduate courses on fashion and modernism\, the middlebrow\, and introductions to modernism. Undergraduate courses range from large lecture introductions to the English major\; to smaller seminars on boredom\, wandering women\, contemporary fiction\, blood\, privacy\, and \"Excellent Women\"--the latter part of an ongoing interest in domestic fictions and under-read female British writers of the 1910s-1960s. Professor Burstein also teaches modern novel courses\, some focusing on adultery\, some on embodiment\; and major texts courses based on Oscar Wilde and Virginia Woolf. She has published on Dorothy Parker\, Wyndham Lewis\, crowds\, and once in a while in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Her book Cold Modernism engages Wyndham Lewis\, Mina Loy\, Balthus\, Hans Bellmer\, Henry James\, and Coco Chanel\, and covers the period 1896-1948.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series. The Cost of Uplift: Filipino Labor and Exploitation in American Colonial Schools and Prisons
DESCRIPTION:By the 1910s\, the United States had firmly established state-run institutions to carryout its brand of colonialism in the Philippines\, “benevolent assimilation.” The new colonial state promised to uplift Filipinos and bring modernity\, industrialization\, and wealth. However\, an examination of labor in colonial state-run industrial schools and prisons and specifically in the sector of embroidery production\, one of the most profitable exports\, reveals a troubling story of racialized and gendered exploitation. These institutions appeared as exemplars of reform and the uplift\, granting Filipino women and girls the education and skills to participate in an advancing and industrializing society. In actuality\, prisons and schools provided a controlled environment where educating “pupil workers” and women prisoners became a way to create a vulnerable and exploitable workforce for the profit of the colonial state and American investors. By linking embroidery and labor to colonial education and prison systems\, this paper questions the “benefits” of American colonialism and explores the hidden cost of uplift.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 836 Seminar Series: Hudson Couto\, PhD and Dennis Couto
DESCRIPTION:Hudson Couto\, PhD and Dennis Couto\n\n\"The Relevance of Bad Ergonomic Conditions in the Origin of Work Accidents at Brazilian Companies\"\n\nAbstract: A deep revision of 983 work-related accidents at 14 companies in Brazil\, using a prepared flowchart to guide the conclusion about the factors involved in the human failure\, showed that bad ergonomic condition was considered important in the origin of 405 accidents (41%). The main factors detected were: lack of tool or unsuitable tool (in 21% of all events)\, improper (inadequate) layout (18%)\, operation standards did not fulfil ergonomics requirements (17%)\, awkward body position (16%)\, adverse floor (15%)\, overload linked to the task (10%)\, unsuitable procedure to move or convey material (10%)\, unsuitable access\, stairs\, ladders and ramps (9%) and high intensity efforts (8%). The identification of ergonomics-related causes in the origin of typical work-related accidents highlights the companies’ strong necessity to implement ergonomic actions in their safety programs. A significant improvement in accident indicators may be obtained when the investigation process not only detects human failures\, but also asks whether the worker’s condition to do the job could be different from that one existing when the accident occurred. The ergonomic factor showed in this research (41%) is highly significant and it can be stated that it should be a priority as important as the investments in the safety culture.\n\nBio: Hudson Couto – Occupational Physician\, PhD\, Professor of Physiology and Ergonomics at Medical School\, Consultancy in Ergonomics and Safety in Brazil\, author of 15 books.\nDennis Couto – Automation and Control Engineer\, Ergonomics Specialist\, co-author of the book  A New Vision on Work Accidents Prevention- The Ergonomic Factor (in Portuguese)

DESCRIPTION:Two experts from the University's Counseling and Psychological Services will join us to share information about imposter syndrome. Imposter Syndrome is the belief that\, despite outstanding academic and professional accomplishment\, we really are not bright and have fooled anyone who thinks otherwise. It can impact students and faculty members alike. The presentation will focus on describing common experiences and identifying imposter syndrome as well as on ways that we—as individuals and as a community—can support one another to overcome the effects. This is recommended for students\, faculty\, and staff\, particularly those who mentor. All are welcome.\n\n(Please contact Elise Bodei (eharper@umich.edu) for accommodation on the basis of disability.)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MEMS Lecture Series. Pisanello\, Adrian Stokes\, and the Image of the Threshold
DESCRIPTION:In his mind-bending early essay\, “Pisanello” (1930)\, Adrian Stokes laid the groundwork for the project that claimed the “Quattro Cento” as the period that contained the beating heart of humanist culture. Central to the essay is an elaborate ekphrasis loosely evoking the arch fresco that Pisanello painted circa 1438 in Church of Sant’Anastasia in Verona. In constructing his own image Stokes both stages a passage and holds it in suspension\, as a threshold. My paper explores the potential of Stokes’ threshold as a means of formulating a critical position capable of engaging the unruly\, sometimes disturbing aspects of Pisanello’s art\, those aspects that the central discourses of modernist art history found difficult to accommodate.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Moral Norms and the Aesthetic Appreciation of Nature
DESCRIPTION:The central issue in environmental aesthetics is whether there are norms that constrain aesthetic judgments about nature\, and if so\, what are they? This paper asks whether there are \"moral\" norms that act as such constraints. I will argue that the recent attempts to demonstrate that there are have been unsuccessful\, but I will also try to construct the best case I can for the existence of such a moral norm.\n\nThose who believe that morality has a bearing on aesthetic judgments about nature take one of two tacks. The first appeals to the idea that morally bad states of nature detract from their aesthetic value. Call this idea \"interaction.\" The other tack is that certain aesthetic judgments manifest disrespect for nature\, which makes them defective or inappropriate\, while others manifest respect making them more appropriate. Call this idea \"respect for nature.\"\n\nI will first explain why constraints on aesthetic judgment play such central role in environmental aesthetics. I will then consider each of the two approaches to justifying the claim that there are moral constraints on such judgments\, and in each case show that there has not been successful arguments for a moral norm that bears on aesthetic judgments. I will then use elements from each approach to make a case for the existence of such moral norms. I will argue that there are at least two reasonable competing moral norms that bear on our aesthetic judgments about nature\, and in general\, it is permissible to adopt either one in the face of degraded natural environments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: Reputation and Information Design
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nCan the legal commitment assumption on which much of the information design literature depends be replaced by reputational enforcement? A long run sender (a public health authority or central bank\, for example) periodically makes cheap talk announcements related to private information it obtains. Under ideal observational conditions\, implicit enforcement mechanisms can perform as well as legal enforcement. Under more realistic conditions the sender’s best equilibrium payoff may be highly inefficient relative to what he achieves with legal commitment. However\, an institution should be able to build a reputation for using information in particular ways. Modeling reputation explicitly\, in the tradition of Kreps\, Milgrom\, Roberts and Wilson (1982)\, restores efficiency if the institution is sufficiently patient. A dynamic version of the standard Bayesian persuasion example illustrates those effects: the nature of reputational dynamics in perfect Bayesian equilibrium is studied\, and the speed of convergence to maximal payoffs (as the sender’s impatience vanishes) is explored. A general existence theorem for PBE in the model with reputational types is established using a modification of the APS algorithm.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special Astronomy Talk | Light Pollution: Simple Solutions for a Serious Environmental Issue
DESCRIPTION:Light pollution is increasingly a major environmental threat. In addition to obscuring the night sky\, the destruction of the natural nocturnal environment disrupts the behavior of countless species\, triggering biological abnormalities and seriously impacting the health of many populations\, including our own. Light pollution is a waste of energy\, generated simply by human thoughtlessness and poor planning.  Although meant to improve public safety\, many lighting systems actually compromise safety. Light pollution is easy to address by good planning and public awareness\, and at low financial cost. There is already substantial awareness of light pollution in Michigan\, where dark skies are a recognized commodity. I will review the types of light pollution\, safety and environmental impacts\, and easy things everyone can do to help.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Assistant Professor Michael Cianfrocco - University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Cytoplasmic dynein is a minus-end-directed microtubule-based motor that couples ATP hydrolysis to force generation to move diverse cargos in cells. One of dynein’s conserved essential regulators is Lis1\, a gene that is mutated in the brain developmental disease lissencephaly. Previous studies have shown that Lis1 regulates dynein by anchoring it to microtubules. Here we made the unexpected discovery that Lis1 can also act in an opposing manner to stimulate dynein to release from microtubules. Our work describes the molecular basis for these two mechanisms of Lis1 regulation. Using a combination of cryo-electron microscopy structural analysis and in vitro single molecule-assays we show that dynein’s nucleotide state dictates which mode of regulation Lis1 uses. Based on these mechanistic insights we propose a new model for the cell biological regulation of dynein by Lis1.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Inordinate Knowledge: Intimacy and Publicity in a Slum in Delhi
DESCRIPTION:This paper starts with a local incident of the abduction of a young girl\, her bodily mutilation\, and her eventual return to her parents. I explore the movement of stories around this crime and ask what is it that her kin and the neighbors knew and the interplay between knowledge and ignorance. The paper goes on to other cases such as those of domestic violence and sexual abuse\, to ask a question that carries a compelling force for me –viz\,. when we are unable to see what is before our eyes\, is this a case of survival\, aspect blindness\, or soul blindness? Do these differences matter? \n    \nVeena Das is Krieger- Eisenhower Professor of Anthropology at the Johns Hopkins University.

SUMMARY:Performance:Musicology Distinguished Lecture Series: Prof. Keith Howard\, Uni. of London
DESCRIPTION:The martial processional\, Taech’wit’a\, is preserved in South Korea through the maintenance of a limited and formulaic repertoire as Intangible Cultural Property 46. The revival of recent decades masks a break in performance at the beginning of the 20th century and a troubled initial redevelopment under Japanese colonial control. To do so\, the identity enshrined in the Property designation\, and the musical soundworld\, has been reliant on iconography. But\, the earliest iconographic representation Koreans have identified is in a 1600-year-old tomb on territory then home to a Chinese commandery\, while some of the most elaborate depictions of martial music come down to us from Japanese sources. How are these sources interpreted to create something iconically Korean? This paper explores\, for the first time\, the procession of instruments in a previously unknown Japanese 12m-long hand scroll that has been attributed to Kanō Tōun Masunobu (1625-1694)\, the Chōsen shisetsu gyōretsu zukan\, and the disguised musical activity in one of Hokusai’s (1760-1849) ‘100 Views of Mount Fuji’ woodblock prints. Neither depiction has to date been referenced by Korean musicologists. Both celebrate the extraordinary rather than the everyday: they date from a period when Korea’s relations with Japan were tightly controlled—over a 200-year period\, Korea dispatched just 10 envoys to Japan\, each following a regular\, seasonal path. The hand scroll juxtaposes Japanese samurai and Korean musicians\, while the second\, where\, a decidedly secular party replaces any martial overtones\, dispenses with formality. To the Japanese artists\, difference was tempered by their knowledge of Japanese musical practice\, while Korean scholars examining the existing iconography (including tomb paintings)\, bring difference into alignment with a Korea-centered history. Using these significant new resources\, the author explores how a specific martial music has travelled and transmigrated\, and how it has been presented\, re-presented\, preserved and re-preserved.\n\nLecture co-sponsored by the Confucius Institute and the Nam Center for Korean Studies.
