Stable isotopes of common and trace elements have a wide range of applications in modern and ancient ecosystems. They offer important tools for investigating plant and animal physiology\, dietary ecology\, life history\, food-web analysis\, nutrient cycling\, migration\, and paleoecology\, with new isotope systems\, new approaches\, and new kinds of questions emerging in every decade. Our speakers in the 2019 symposium have expertise in terrestrial and marine systems\, modern and ancient ecosystems\, and animals\, plants\, and microbes. The symposium will feature topics for a broad range of interests in ecology\, evolution\, earth history\, and conservation.\n\nWe are pleased to announce our lineup of speakers\, including our keynote speakers: Jim Ehleringer (plant physiology and ecology)\, University of Utah\, and Tamsin O’Connell (diet and climate in humans and animals)\, Cambridge University. You can read more about all of the speakers under the speaker tab on the ECSS website.\n\nGraduate and undergraduate students and postdocs from all universities and disciplines are invited to present their work during a lunchtime poster session\, and can indicate so when they register.

To speak of silence means to speak of a multitude of paradoxes\, as well as to enter an exciting avenue for literature\, activism and interdisciplinary scholarship. Our conference interrogates what it means to plumb silences in the archive in search of unheard voices\, and invites scholars to investigate the meanings of silence as a critical category. In particular\, this conference is interested in mapping – across scholarly and creative disciplines – questions of translating silences in the archive\, in the text\, in the subject\, and in activism. What are the possible ways of translating silence when events and experiences resist such translation? What challenges and possibilities does silence offer translators and scholars\, who are tasked with making meaning of both the enunciated and the unsaid or untranslatable? How can we engage with knowledge that does not yield itself to current academic frameworks? In what ways can a focus on silence help to transform knowledge itself?\n\nProfessor Irena Klepfisz received her doctorate from the University of Chicago in Victorian literature\, and later did post-doctoral work in Yiddish at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. In addition to teaching in numerous universities around the country\, Klepfisz taught for ten years in the college program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility\, a women’s maximum security prison. Last year\, she retired after 22 years of teaching Jewish Women's Studies at Barnard College. Klepfisz immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised among Yiddish-speaking\, Jewish Labor Bundist (socialist) Holocaust survivors in the Bronx\, where she attended public schools\, a Yiddish shule\, and mitlshul. She was an activist during the Second Wave\, particularly in the lesbian/feminist movement\, and addressed issues of anti-Semitism\, Israeli/Palestinian peace\, Jewish identity\, and veltlekhe yidishkayt/secular Yiddish culture. \n\nKlepfisz’s extensive publishing and performance record includes founding and co-editing Conditions magazine\, serving as the Yiddish editor of the Jewish feminist Bridges\, contributing to Nice Jewish Girls: A Lesbian Anthology\, and co-editing The Tribe of Dina: A Jewish Women’s Anthology. She authored two performance pieces commissioned by the Jewish Museum (NY): Bread and Candy: Songs of the Holocaust and Zeyre eygene verter: In their own words (Yiddish women writers). She is the author of A Few Words in the Mother Tongue (poems) and Dreams of an Insomniac (essays)\, and most recently co-edited The Stars Bear Witness: The Jewish Labor Bund 1897-2017 and Koved zeyer ondenk: Honor to Their Memory (for the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising).\n\nSCHEDULE:\n15th March\, Friday \n10 am - 10.30 am Breakfast \n10.30 am -10.45 am Opening remarks \n10.45 am - 12.15 pm \nPanel 1: Justice and Activism\nRespondent: Antoine Traisnel\nPanel Papers:\nMina Khalil: “Presenting the Criminal Defendant in Nineteenth-Century Egypt: the Presumption of Innocence as Silence”\nElisa Corona Aguilar: “Fists up: Orchestrating Silence in Mexico City´s Post- Earthquake Rescuing Activities”\nSeon-Myung Yoo: “The Deafening Silence of Comfort Women Survivors”\n12.15 pm - 1.15 pm Lunch\n1.15 pm - 2.45 pm \nPanel 2: Untranslatability\nRespondent: Maya Barzilai\nPanel Papers:\nCorbin Allardice: “Di Rayze Aheym: Yiddish Heteroglossia as State Critique in Sutzkever’s Gaystike Erd”\nAaron Coleman: “The Role of Literary Translation in Witnessing the African Diaspora: Neglected Legacies of Black USAmerican Poets translating AfroCuban Poets”\nElias Pitegoff: “What Remains\; On the Memorial Addressed to Nothing in Particular”\n2.45 pm - 3 pm Coffee Break\n3 pm - 4.30 pm \nPanel 3: Violence and Witnessing\nRespondent: Tatjana Aleksić\nPanel Papers:\nMartha Henzy: “Real Violence” and Virtual Reality: Jordon Wolfson’s Theater of Cruelty\nNina Jackson Levin: The Worst Loss\, Silenced: Problematizing the Social and Archival Silencing of Grieving Mothers”\nKristina Krasny: “Vertretung and Darstellung in the Poetry of Hester Pulter”\n4.30 pm - 5.30 pm Reception\n5.30 pm - 7 pm\nKeynote- Irena Klepfisz “The 2087th question\, or when silence is the only answer”\n\n16th March\, Saturday:\n9 am - 9.30 am Breakfast \n9.30 am - 11 am \nPanel 4: Sounding Queer Desire\nRespondent: Shira Schwartz\nPanel Papers:\nBenjamin Hollenbach: “Silent Faith: Mainline Protestants\, LGBTQ Inclusion\, and Religious Devotion”\nLars Stoltzfus-Brown: “Why White People Love the Amish: Settler Colonialism\, Violence\, and White Heteronostalgia”\nAmanda Kubic: “‘Neither honey nor the bee for me:’ Silence and Desire in Fragment 113”\n11 am - 11.15 am Coffee Break\n11.15 am - 12.45 pm\nPanel 5: Poetics \nRespondent: Yopie Prins \nPanel Papers:\nLisa Levin: Notes on Notes on Speechlessness\nJasmine An: “‘the model minority disability disability creation’ – a mixed media experiment in digital storytelling”\nSara Deniz Akant: “One Sea Leads to Another: Approaching Memory and the Unsayable in Meena Alexander’s Atmospheric Embroidery”\n12.45 pm - 2 pm Lunch \n2 pm - 3 pm A Reading and Conversation with Irena Klepfisz \n3.15 pm - 4.45 pm \nPanel 6: Silence\, Address\, Redress\nRespondent: Liz Wingrove\nNathaniel Harrington: “Cànan a’ bhreithneachaidh (The language of criticism)”\nLuiza Caetano: Contradiction as strategy: Germaine de Staël’s “Three Novellas”\nGrace Zanotti: “Reading Through the Lacuna: Anne Carson’s Pinplay and Euripides’ Bacchae”\n4.45 pm - 5 pm Closing Remarks\n7.30 pm - 9 pm Student Creative Reading at Literati Bookstore\n\nGrace Zanotti\, Genta Nishku\, Shalmali Jadhav\, Shira Schwartz\, Duygu Ergun\nCLIFF 2019 Conference Organizers\nDepartment of Comparative Literature\nUniversity of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\ncliff.complit@umich.edu UID:58374-14491982@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58374 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Anthropology,Books,Classical Studies,Culture,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Food,Free,Graduate Students,History,Interdisciplinary,Jewish Studies,Lecture,LGBT,Multicultural,symposium LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908137@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190204T084236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190316T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190316T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Saturday Morning Physics | Rare Events in the Short Happy Lives of Muons and Kaons DESCRIPTION:As our understanding of the building blocks of matter and how they interact has increased\, particle physicists have turned their attention to finding processes not known in the Standard Model.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered 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 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.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Every day since the fall of 1982\, volunteers have gathered there to serve a free meal to anyone in need\, sometimes as many as 165 each day. Many guests are homeless. Others are working but struggling to make ends meet. Everyone is welcome. All concert profits will be used to purchase\, food supplies and offset expenses\, such as cleaning\, heating and maintenance.\n\nRolling Stone magazine calls Marty Stuart one of the top country music artists of all time: “A musician’s musician\, Stuart logged more than a decade as a sideman for the titans of twang – including Johnny Cash\, Doc Watson and Lester Flatt – before launching his solo career...building his fanbase not only on the strength of his voice\, but his hotshot guitar playing\, too.”\n\nNPR praised his latest album “Way Out West\,” calling it a “journey through the Joshua trees\, shadowy canyons and desert drams that tantalize travelers with the promise of a golden shore on the other side.”\n\nOpening for Marty Stuart is Bloodshot Records artist Luke Winslow-King. A Cadillac\, Mich.\, native steeped in the musical cauldron of New Orleans\, Winslow-King is adept at mixing country\, blues\, R&B\, rock ‘n’ roll and folk intuitively and masterfully. He shapes a mood from many sources and shepherds it to a unifying place of acceptance and hope. \n\nThe emcee for the evening is Lisa Tucker-Gray\, the rector of Toledo’s Trinity Episcopal Church\, an accomplished singer and the daughter of the Rev. Svea Gray\, who was director of the Breakfast Program for more than 30 years. She will also perform with multi-instrumentalist Curt Waugh\n\nAcoustic Routes Concerts has produced nine benefit concerts for the Breakfast Program at The Ark since 2010\, with cumulative profits closing in on $100\,000.\n\n“The Breakfast started as way to help people get through a deep recession more than 30 years ago\, but the need never went away\,” said Jim Cain of Saline\, founder of Acoustic Routes Concerts. “It’s staggering how many people don’t have enough to eat day in and day out.”\n\nAnn Arbor-based food rescue agency Food Gatherers said hunger is a pervasive problem in Washtenaw County. More than one in seven people lack access\, at times\, to enough food for an active\, healthy life.\n\n“Some of the Breakfast volunteers have been there since the program’s earliest days. For others\, it’s their first community service experience\,” Cain added. “Volunteering creates a unique bond and I can’t thank Marty\, Luke\, Lisa and our sponsors enough for supporting our work.” UID:55107-13687205@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55107 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190317T120010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Conference Series vs. Western Michigan DESCRIPTION:Conference series at Western Michigan University UID:61995-15328478@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61995 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Western Michigan University CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180228T170156 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T235900 SUMMARY:Other:Extended Application Deadline for Select IPE Summer Study Abroad Programs DESCRIPTION:Applications for the extended deadline of IPE Summer study abroad programs are due tonight at midnight! \n\nFor program information and to apply: https://ipe.engin.umich.edu/ipe-summer-programs-extended-deadline/ UID:50539-15215053@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50539 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Deadlines,Engineering,International,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:Chrysler Center - 245 Chrysler CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190317T120011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Louisville Bike Race DESCRIPTION:Louisville Bike Race UID:58728-15328480@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58728 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Louisville CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190317T180022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:NCWA national tournament DESCRIPTION:NCWA national tournament in Allen\, TX UID:57705-15330670@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57705 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Allen Event Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190317T120011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Oak Creek Invite DESCRIPTION:   UID:60380-15328483@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60380 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Smith River Sports Complex CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190317T180022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Southern New England Team Race DESCRIPTION:An interconference team race regatta at Connecticut College.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908138@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190221T121546 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:2019 MFA Thesis Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The MFA Thesis exhibition will bring together culminating projects by second-year graduate students: Masimba Hwati\, Laura Magnusson\, Bridget Quinn\, Rowan Renee\, and Mayela Rodriguez.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered 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 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.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

One traces the development of contemporary Inuit art in the Canadian Arctic from the 1950s to the present. The other relates the fascinating story of the Power family’s important role in supporting and promoting Inuit art from the outset\, bringing public attention to its artistic strength and cultural importance. The Power family’s collection is unusual in its strong representation of early contemporary carvings\, incised drawings on ivory and antler\, soapstone sculptures\, and prints that evolved as Inuit artists developed their own artistic voices and responded creatively to their changing world. \n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

However\, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has neuroprotective effects that may reduce the need for downregulation of the axis in response to stress. Furthermore\, high DHEA/cortisol ratios are often conceptualized as reflecting a protective profile due to high availability of DHEA. In this study we explored if DHEA and DHEA/cortisol ratios moderated the association between early trauma and the cortisol response.\n\nMETHODS: The sample consisted of 80 adolescents (aged 12-16) who completed the Child Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and the Trier Social Stress Test. Cortisol was modeled using saliva samples at seven timepoints after the start of the TSST. Cortisol and DHEA ratios were examined at baseline and 35 minutes post-stress initiation.\n\nRESULTS: Early trauma was associated with lower activation slope and peak levels but DHEA moderated this effect. Specifically\, at high levels of DHEA\, the impact of CTQ on cortisol peak levels was no longer significant. High DHEA/cortisol ratios were associated with an intensification of the impact of CTQ on peak levels. \n\nCONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that DHEA can limit blunting of the HPA axis in response to early trauma. However\, this protective effect was not reflected in high DHEA/cortisol ratios. Instead\, high ratios were associated with a greater effect of early trauma. Therefore\, high DHEA and high DHEA/cortisol ratios may reflect\ndifferent\, and often opposite\, processes. Our findings indicate that DHEA/cortisol ratios do not necessarily reflect a protective neuroendocrine profile.

His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908139@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190207T080405 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Center for Research on Learning (CRLT) DESCRIPTION:Whitney Peoples of the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching will be leading a faculty workshop on whiteness in the classroom.

A more novel perspective views adolescence as a stage optimized for exploration\, including of new motivations and emerging identities in ways that foster both autonomy and connectedness. While the dominant neurodevelopmental approaches have relied on dual-systems and imbalance models to explain adolescent behavior\, I will argue that motivated behavior during adolescence can be modeled by a general value-based decision-making process centered around value accumulation in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). Interestingly\, neuroimaging studies of self-related processes demonstrate enhanced engagement of the vmPFC in adolescence\, which may both facilitate and reflect the development of identity by integrating the value of potential actions and choices. This approach advances models of adolescent neurodevelopment that focus on reward sensitivity and cognitive control by considering more diverse value inputs\, including contributions of developing social processes related to self and identity. It also considers adolescent decision making and behavior from adolescents' point of view rather than adults' perspectives on what adolescents should value or how they should behave.

DESCRIPTION:According to the latest IPCC report\, the world must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions drastically if it is to keep global warming below 1.5 °C. Economists generally agree that the most efficient way to reduce such emissions is to put a price on the carbon content of fossil fuels\, either by taxing carbon or through cap and trade systems. In his book\, Can We Price Carbon?\, UM Public Policy Professor Barry Rabe analyses the history of successes and failures of previous carbon pricing schemes\, and shows that despite the political difficulties\, carbon pricing can be workable. We will discuss his book over three sessions and then meet with Prof. Rabe at a fourth for updates and further discussion. \n\nThese sessions for those 50 and above will be led by Instructor Craig Stephan\, a retired physicist who has led several OLLI study groups including two on the science of climate change. The Study Group will meet on Mondays from 1-3 p.m. and run from March 18 through April 8.

The inherent advantages of these devices\, including the electrodeless design and the potential to be propellant-agnostic\, coupled with the potential to efficiently accelerate the propellant makes low-power magnetic nozzles attractive propulsion options for small satellites. A theoretical model was developed to predict low-power magnetic nozzle performance and identify fundamental differences in operation between these devices and their higher power counterparts. \n\nAn experiment was designed to inform the theoretical model to provide insight into the fundamental plasma dynamics within a low-power magnetic nozzle. This test article consisted of a reconfigurable inductively-coupled plasma source and an electromagnet. Electrostatic probes and laser induced fluorescence are used to measure the plasma properties throughout the plume. By coupling the experimental results with the theoretical framework two novel effects that reduce device performance are identified: $1$) neutral-collisional effects impedes ion acceleration and $2$) non-uniform power deposition degrades source and divergence efficiency. These effects arise from the low input power and the thruster design parameters. Experimental characterization of a reconfigured test article demonstrates that performance can be recovered by accounting for these two effects when designing the thruster and selecting the operating parameters.

Different Pathways\, Common Destination? Public Policy and Institutional Changes in Greece\, Italy\, Portugal\, and Spain during and after the Economic Crisis DESCRIPTION:While Greece\, Italy\, Portugal and Spain slid into economic crisis in the 2010 for different reasons and at different time points and have already started overcoming the crises in a varied manner\, there was visible policy convergence among the four countries. There were similar policy responses regarding fiscal\, macroeconomic\, incomes\, welfare and labor relations’ issues. Moreover\, despite the fact that the four countries had followed different paths to government reform and administrative modernization before the crisis\, they eventually converged towards similar policy responses regarding government organization and public administration. The observed convergence may be interpreted through external constraints imposed by Europe and international organizations and creditors and through the adoption of public management ideas\, which prevailed in international and domestic policy networks. Policy shifts were not evenly implemented across the four countries for reasons related to historical legacies of state-society relations and variations in political party systems. Such legacies may also help explain why Greece remained a reform laggard compared to the rest of South European countries.\n\nDimitri A.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nAt some point in our careers\, each of us will struggle with balancing competing demands on our time. Work life can be hectic in any organization\, resulting in burnout\, errors\, stunted creativity\, and poor performance. Incorporating mindfulness into our work lives might be one way to help restore equilibrium.\n \nIn this lively and engaging talk\, Saint and Chopra will share research on how practices of mindfulness can be established within the oceans of chaos to fuel “heartfulness\,” restoring kindness and compassion. Mindfulness-based interventions engender attitudes of curiosity and connection that allow us to listen attentively\, recognize errors\, refine skills\, and focus on mission—ultimately leading to better performance. Saint and Chopra will offer various strategies and approaches—so-called “intersectional innovations” (or aha moments)—that can be used to improve personal and organizational performance. \n\nAbout Saint: \nSanjay Saint\, MD\, MPH\, is the Chief of Medicine at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System and the George Dock Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan. \n\nHis research focuses on patient safety\, implementation science\, and medical decision-making.

Or perhaps less because of an additional wedge that distorts labor effort? Do concerns about inequality have implications for antitrust\, regulation\, trade\, and other policies that influence market power\, which contributes to inequality? This article addresses such questions using a model with heterogeneous abilities\, markups\, multiple sectors\, ownership that is a function of income\, allowance for any share of profits to be recoveries of investments (including rent-seeking efforts)\, and a nonlinear income tax. In this model\, proportional markups with no profit dissipation have no effect on the economy\, and a policy that reduces a nonproportional markup raises (lowers) welfare when it is higher (lower) than a weighted average of other markups. With proportional (partial or full) profit dissipation\, proportional markups are equivalent to a downward shift of the distribution of abilities\, and the welfare effect of correcting nonproportional markups associated with nonproportional profit dissipation now depends also on the degree of dissipation and how that is affected by the policy. In all cases\, optimal policies maximize consumer plus producer surplus\, without regard to a policy’s distributive effects on consumers and profits or how markups and income taxation distort labor effort.

Just in Time: The Chronopolitics of the Queue DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the politics of time as they play out through various problems of the queue—the organizational science and logistics of waiting lines. Drawing on ethnographic analysis of civility campaigns and customs inspection reform in contemporary China\, I will show how the queue offers insight into shared concerns about “quality control” over the flows of both global supply chains and the movement of populations. These concerns link the market metrics of timeliness as configured by the dominant global production model of JIT or Just-in-Time with social questions of expedience and justice in the other sense of being \"just\" in time. These entangled issues converge in what I will explain as a politics of tempo--that is\, as a question of pace and rhythm--in contradistinction to the conventional emphasis on \"speed\" or \"space-time compression\" in the analysis of global temporalities.\n\nBiosketch: Julie Y. Chu is a sociocultural anthropologist with interests in mobility and migration\, economy and value\, ritual life\, material culture\, media and technology\, and state regulatory regimes. Her book\, Cosmologies of Credit: Transnational Mobility and the Politics of Destination in China (Duke University Press\, 2010)\, received the 2011 Sharon Stephens Prize from the American Ethnological Society and the 2012 Clifford Geertz Prize from the Society for the Anthropology of Religion. Her current writing project is entitled The Hinge of Time: Infrastructure and Chronopolitics at China's Global Edge. Based on three years of fieldwork largely among Chinese customs inspectors and transnational migrant couriers\, this work will analyze various infrastructures in place (legal-rational\, financial\, cosmic\, piratical) for managing the temporal intensities and rhythms of people and things on the move between Southern China and the United States. A graduate of NYU’s Program in Culture and Media\, she is also currently completing video projects related to her fieldwork as well as developing a new ethnographic focus on Chinese soundscapes\, especially in relation to the changing qualities and valuations of the Chinese concept of renao (热闹\, a bustling scene\, social liveliness or\, literally\, “heat and noise”).

We have discovered the first two RNA demethylases\, FTO and ALKBH5\, which catalyze oxidative demethylation of the most prevalent modifications of mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA) and other nuclear RNA\, N6-methyladenosine (m6A). These findings indicate that reversible RNA modification could impact biological regulation analogous to the well-known reversible DNA and histone chemical modifications. We have also characterized proteins that selectively recognize m6A-modified mRNA and affect the translation status and lifetime of the target mRNA\, as well as molecular machines that deposit the m6A methylation on mRNA. Functional studies reveal m6A methylation as a critical mechanism to synchronize groups of transcripts for coordinated metabolism\, translation\, and decay\, allowing timely and coordinated protein synthesis and transcriptome switching during cell differentiation and development. Misregulations of these processes lead to embryo lethality and human diseases such as cancer. I will also present recent studies on developing chemical platforms for proximity capture in probing DNA-DNA proximity. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nChuan He (University of Chicago) UID:53789-13461546@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53789 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chemistry 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190222T144723 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:UK Scholarships DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Henry Dyson and Engineering Honors on Monday\, March 18th from 4-5 pm in 133 Chrysler Building.For more information: https://lsa.umich.edu/onsf/scholarships/united-kingdom.html UID:61537-15126014@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61537 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Honors,International,Onsf,Scholarships LOCATION:Chrysler Center - 133 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190228T140831 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Beyond Salary: The Nuance of Negotiation DESCRIPTION:Join the Hub to learn how to approach negotiation with confidence!

The dumpster-folk\, thriftstore-Americana duo\, consisting of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler\, have been circulating around the country in their 16’ camper since 2015. They picked up a couple of actual strays along the way—two 100-lb. dogs\, Puddle & Magpie Mae—and have been making themselves at home in living rooms\, bars\, theaters\, and festivals across the country. The Rough & Tumble are collectors ... a new kind of collector: songwriting with illustration\, and arranging each song with a menagerie of instruments\, ranging from acoustic guitars to mailbox snares to a banjulele.\n\nThe Lucky Nows play dynamic\, high-energy Americana folk-rock with echoes of Isbell and Isakov and a bluesy center. Their music draws from every genre\, delivering a wide range of lyric-driven originals with intricate arrangements and gorgeous harmonies. If Steve Earle had a love-child with Lucinda Williams\, and that child was raised by Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault\, and frequently visited by Shovels & Rope and the ghost of Townes Van Zandt\, their debut CD would sound eerily similar to The Lucky Nows' \"Rise.\" The Lucky Nows feature Detroiter Jen Cass on vocals.

I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

The loss of these functions can have devastating implications on the quality of one’s life\, interfering with activities of daily living related to walking\, bladder and bowel control\, trunk stability\, and arm and hand function. Current approaches used to help improve and restore mobility require residual movement to control\, which can be unintuitive and inoperative by individuals with higher level cervical injuries. In order to develop technology used by individuals of all levels of injury\, it is necessary to generate control signals directly from the brain. This thesis is intended to address the clinical limitations of implantable neural recording systems\, and thus lay the foundation for the development of a design and safety profile for a fully implantable intracortical system for motor restoration.\n\nWe first present the design and testing of a 96-channel neural recording device used to mate with an existing functional electrical stimulation (FES) system in order to facilitate brain-controlled FES. By extracting signal power within a narrow frequency bandwidth and reducing overhead processer operations\, a 25% power reduction is achieved. This establishes the feasibility for an implantable system and enables the integration of the neural recording device with implantable FES system. The specifications of this platform can be used as a guide to develop further application specific modules and dramatically accelerate the overall process to a clinically viable system.\n\nWith a functional device\, the next step is to move towards a clinical trial. Here we investigate the potential safety risks of future modular\, implantable neuroprosthetic systems. A systematic review of 240 articles was used to identify and quantitatively summarize the hardware-related complications of the most established intracranial clinical system\, deep brain stimulation\, and the most widespread experimental human intracranial system\, the NeuroPort\, including the Utah microelectrode array. The safety and longevity data collected here will be used to better inform future device and clinical trial design and satisfy regulatory requirements.\n\nThe stability and longevity of the Utah array are critical factors for determining whether the clinical benefit outweighs the risk for potential users. We investigate the biological adverse response to the insertion of the Utah array in a rhesus macaque. We examined the health and density of neurons around the shanks of the array in comparison to control brain. Non-human primate animal models allow us to further examine the effects of the implantation of the Utah array on neural tissue\, which cannot be done with humans. Information gained through this will continue to increase the pool of safety data for the Utah array and emerging intracranial devices.\n\nOverall\, we developed a neural recording device to be used for brain-controlled FES and examined the potential safety concerns reported in the human literature and experimentally using non-human primates. These results represent significant progress towards a clinically-viable system for motor restoration in people suffering from spinal cord injury.\n\nChair: Cindy Chestek UID:62024-15276098@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62024 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 10 - G065 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190315T162002 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhD Defense: Crystal Green DESCRIPTION:Title: Automated Deformable Mapping Methods to Relate Corresponding Lesions in 3D X-ray and 3D Ultrasound Breast Images\n\nCo-Chair: Prof. Mitchell Goodsitt\nCo-Chair: Prof. Alex Bielajew UID:62197-15311072@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62197 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dissertation,Energy,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908140@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190214T094704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with CPS faculty Christopher Fariss DESCRIPTION:Dr. Fariss is excited to host a weekly Tuesday morning hackerspace from February 12 until April 23.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered 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 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.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Research takes too long and costs too much\, and opportunities to engage the participation and contribution by patients and families are not yet common. What if we could create a better care system by harnessing inherent motivation and collective intelligence of patients\, clinicians and researchers? In every part of our lives\, networks are having a profound effect. How could networked organizations accelerate progress towards Learning Health Systems? This talk will describe how several large-scale learning health system networks are eliminating the artificial barriers between clinical care\, improvement and research while engaging all stakeholders as part of a single health system. The result is faster learning and better outcomes for large populations of patients. \n\nThe LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences\, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.\n\nPlease register in advance. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/march-19-2019-lhs-collaboratory-peter-margolis-md-phd-healthier-together-collaborative-networks-of-registration-52022816645 UID:59181-14694667@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59181 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Education,Information and Technology,Integrative Systems,Interdisciplinary,Kinesiology,Learning Center,Lecture,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Nursing,Pharmacy,Pre Med,Pre-Health,Pre-Law,Public Health,Public Policy,Rackham,Research,Science,Social Sciences LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Great Lakes North Central CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190109T161438 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | China's Universities in Perspective DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Professor Qian will review the major initiatives for China's universities in the past two decades\, analyze the major global rankings of these universities\, and discuss the challenges of China's higher education. \n\nYingyi Qian is Distinguished Professor of Arts\, Humanities and Social Sciences at Tsinghua University and former Dean (2006-2018)\, of the School of Economics and Management\, Tsinghua University.
