SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Examining engineering concepts in practice:      Is conceptual understanding relevant to practice?
DESCRIPTION:Concepts are ubiquitous in engineering education in many forms. Engineering educators have developed multiple concept inventories that are widely used to assess student learning and frequently have discussions about the importance of knowing the concepts. Academic artifacts such as textbooks are normally organized around engineering concepts. Although there is comfort in utilizing concepts as the organizing framework for engineering education\, substantial evidence from multiple perspectives suggests that it may not be optimal for student learning or for preparation for engineering practice. Concepts at their core definition imply a sanitized transferable entity\, that transcends context. However\, theoretical perspectives of situated cognition suggest that concepts may not be the fundamental organizing schema for practitioners. Rather\, project constraints and contexts may be an alternative lens for how engineers organize their knowledge. This research implemented two methodologies to examine the role of concepts in engineering practice\, gathering concept inventory responses from practicing civil engineers\, and studying the use of concepts in the design of a roundabout. Students perform better than practicing engineers on statics\, fluid mechanics\, and mechanics of materials concept inventory questions. Concepts in engineering practice related to roundabout design do not have static abstracted representations\, but are continuously negotiated\, abstracted\, and represented in multiple forms. The explicit and implicit organization of concepts in engineering education may not be ideal for learning or preparation for the engineering workplace.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:22nd Annual U-M Department of Psychiatry Waggoner Lecture on Ethics & Values in Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Bridgette Ann Carr\, J.D.\, B.A. will give the U-M Department of Psychiatry’s 22nd Annual Raymond W. Waggoner Lecture on Ethics & Values in Medicine. Carr will give a talk focused on human trafficking victims and the advancement of comprehensive domestic and international anti-trafficking policies. This lecture will be held on Wednesday\, November 1 at 4:00 p.m. at Ford Auditorium in University Hospital.\n\nProfessor Carr’s work focuses on driving paradigm shifts in the way human trafficking victimization is perceived and addressed\, and helping reintegrate victims by developing legal solutions that address the complex issues of coercion and victimization around compelled service and its aftermath.\n\nAs the founding director of the U-M Law School’s Human Trafficking Clinic (the first clinical law program solely devoted to addressing this issue comprehensively)\, Professor Carr\, her colleagues\, and a new generation of trainees have provided free legal services to victims since 2009\, supporting the wide-ranging needs of men\, women\, and children\, both foreign nationals and U.S. citizens\, who have been victimized by a range of trafficking crimes.\n\nUsing the U-M clinic as a model\, Professor Carr is working with university partners around the world to develop similar programs to combat human trafficking and train law students\, and has helped establish university law clinics in Mexico\, Ethiopia\, and Brazil to broaden the network of legal experts who can address the issues of compelled service that transcend international borders. She is the lead author of the first casebook on human trafficking law and policy\, which examines the cross-section of criminal justice\, civil and human rights\, immigration\, and international law that frames these issues.\n\nThe University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry established the Raymond W. Waggoner Lectureship on Ethics and Values in Medicine in 1996. This lectureship was created in honor of the late Dr. Waggoner\, emeritus professor and past chairman of the department of psychiatry\, who throughout his career and to all who knew him\, has exemplified the highest standards of integrity and ethics.\n\nThe esteemed lectureship is an annual event to recognize Dr. Waggoner’s enormous contributions to the University of Michigan medical center and to the profession\, and to promulgate his interest in medical ethics.\n\n \n\nFor further information\, please contact:\n\nDebra Pinals\, M.D.\n734-232-0352\ndpinals@med.umich.edu\n\n            or\n\nSandra Glover\nAdministrative Assistant Senior\nUniversity of Michigan Department of Psychiatry\n734-232-0352\nsandig@med.umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Blazing a Trail: Towards Imaging Super-Earth from the Ground and Space
DESCRIPTION:The discovery and characterization of extrasolar planets has been data-driven: clearly there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophies.  As the demographics of the myriad diverse systems becomes known\, we begin to piece together the larger story of their formation and evolution. Ultimately\, we seek to understand the prospects for life elsewhere in the Universe. In addition to this scientific quest\, 'exploration' also plays a role. In particular\, the nearest star systems provide an opportunity to explore in detail strange new worlds. The recent announcement of a planet < 10 Mearth in the liquid-water zone of Proxima Centari sent shock waves through the community. What is the nature of this planetary system found in our own galactic backyard? Could it be habitable? How will we know and when?  Here we will review recent progress in imaging planets from the ground\,  contributions the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope will make in imaging sub-Saturns (perhaps with habitable moons) at larger orbital radii\, and complementary work to be done by next generation Extremely Large Telescopes in thermal emission as well as NASA's WFIRST-AFTA in reflected light\, which will enable us to image terrestrial planets around the nearest stars by the end of the next decade.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Threat of Falling High Status and Corporate Bribery: Evidence from the Revealed Accounting Records of Two South Korean Presidents
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Ross School of Business\n\nSocial status and its dynamics may be an important predictor of which firms will engage in large-scale bribery. Prior theory is incomplete\, however\, and prior empirical studies have lacked comprehensive and reliable data on firm-level bribery decisions. We offer a new theoretical prediction and a novel data set on high-level corruption in South Korea\, where the accounting records of two presidents in the 1987–1992 era were exposed to after-the-fact legal and public scrutiny. We find that\, controlling for a range of alternative explanations\, the threat of falling high status—that is\, the combination of longstanding high social status with current-period mediocre economic performance relative to that of industry peers—is a significant predictor of increases in the amount of large-scale corporate bribery.\n\nJordan Siegel is an Associate Professor of Strategy and Michael R. and Mary Kay Hallman Faculty Fellow at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Professor Siegel is also a Research Fellow at the William Davidson Institute and an Associate-in-Research at the Harvard Korea Institute of the Harvard Asia Center.\n\nProfessor Siegel specializes in the study of how companies gain competitive advantage through their global strategy. Professor Siegel finds that there are numerous opportunities for companies to attain superior sustainable corporate performance through creative strategies for corporate governance and human resource management.

SUMMARY:Other:RNA structure heterogeneity
DESCRIPTION:RNA is unique among all biomolecules as it can be both information-storing and enzymatic. These features are tightly linked to its structure\, in which base-pairing interactions give rise to a highly folded macromolecule. Indeed\, in addition to the genetic code\, which specifies the composition of proteins\, we now know there is a secondary layer of information encoded in every transcript in the form of RNA structure that can regulate processes as diverse as splicing\, localization\, and translation efficiency. Our lab has developed approaches to probe RNA structure at single molecule and single nucleotide level\, which are capable of detecting alternative RNA structures forming from the same underlying sequence. Application of these approaches to Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) reveals HIV-1 genomic RNA structure heterogeneity with novel functional implications. \n                        \nSilvia Rouskin (MIT Whitehead Institute)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 Seminar: William J. Cook\, University of Waterloo
DESCRIPTION:Title: The traveling salesman problem with road distances\n\nNOTE: This seminar will not be recorded by request of the speaker\n\nAbstract: Following Dantzig\, Fulkerson\, and Johnson\, we show that a certain tour of 49\,603 sites in the US is shortest possible\, measuring distance with point-to-point routes obtained from Google Maps. We highlight a cost-refinement technique that allows the cutting-plane method to generate lower bounds on the tour length without explicit knowledge of the full distance matrix. The talk is based on joint work with Daniel Espinoza\, Marcos Goycoolea\, and Keld Helsgaun.

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.

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: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:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:BME Seminar Series: Brenton Hoffman\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Cells exist in a complex mechanical environment that is a source of applied forces and a means of mechanical support. Cells respond to these mechanical signals through a poorly understood process called mechanotransduction. A clearer understanding of this process will lead to improved methods for manipulating cell behavior in engineered tissues and increased understanding of mechanosensitive disease states\, such as atherosclerosis and cancer. As mechanotransduction is likely due to force-induced conformation changes in load-bearing proteins\, we develop and use protein-based biosensors that exhibit force-dependent changes in the color of emitted light. This technology enables dynamic measurements of mechanical forces at the molecular level that are innately compatible with concepts and approaches common in molecular biology and biophysics\, uniquely enabling mechanistic studies of mechanotransduction. The current challenge is developing approaches that reveal the effects of mechanical loading on protein function in living cells. In this talk\, I will discuss our efforts to develop new assays for probing the relationship between protein load and the composition of key sub-cellular structures as well as the relationship between protein loading and protein dynamics. I will conclude with a discussion of how these techniques are changing our understanding of the mechanisms cells use to detect and respond to mechanical cues.\n\nDr. Brenton Hoffman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University where he is the principal investigator of the Cell and Molecular Mechanobiology Laboratory. He received a B.S. Degree in Chemical Engineering from Lehigh University\, a PhD in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania\, and completed Post-doctoral training in the Cardiovascular Research Center at the University of Virginia. Dr. Hoffman’s current research interests are in the areas of cell mechanics\, cell migration\, and mechanotransduction\, with a particular focus on the development of new tools and approaches for studying the effects of mechanical loading on protein function in living cells.  His lab has received funding from the National Science Foundation\, the National Institutes of Health\, and the American Heart Association. He has been awarded a Basil O’Connor Starter Scholar Award from the March of Dimes\, a Searle Scholar Award\, and NSF CAREER Award. He has also received the Klein Family Distinguished Teaching Award\, the highest award in Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering for teaching.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DEMOCRACY DISMANTLED: HOW POPULISM IS A PATHWAY TO AUTOCRACY
DESCRIPTION:Dr.  Frantz is an Assistant Professor in the Political Science Department at Michigan State University. She studies authoritarian politics\, with a focus on democratization\, \nconflict\, and development. She has written four books on dictatorships and development\, and her work has appeared in multiple academic and policy-oriented journals.\n\nPopulism is spreading across the globe. Various causes lie behind the populist upsurge\, ranging from increased economic hardship to frustrations with \nglobalization. The consequences are worrisome. Today’s populist wave is paving the way for competitively elected leaders to subtly dismantle their countries’ democratic institutions. This form of transition to dictatorship in which incumbents slowly chip away at constraints on their leadership is also associated with the initiation of personalist rule\, the most pernicious form of autocracy. \n\nThis is the first in a six-lecture series. The subject is Populism: The Common People in Modern Politics. The next lecture series will start January 11\, 2018. The title is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us.

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 | Celebration of Life
DESCRIPTION:Life has served as the center of leading Japanese ceramic artist Tomoko Konno's creative mind. She enjoys giving her ceramics new life by taking influence from all kinds of organisms from nature\, such as sea and botanical creatures that inspire her. Konno says she has no control over the birth of her artworks\, they \"just seem to materialize from nowhere.\" Each piece that she creates is an embodiment of her sense of excitement\, energy\, and anticipation for life as she introduces guests to her \"mysterious garden.\"\n\nTomoko Konno (b. 1967) lives in the ancient pottery town of Tokoname while maintaining a studio in Bali\, Indonesia. In her Bali workshop\, art forms resemble exotic plants or sea creatures made in colored porcelain that she exhibits in her installation shows. Konno says that she wishes to express the power of living things and that her ideas “just seem to materialize from nowhere.” Konno is one of a prominent new generation of female ceramicists working in Japan today. The distinct features in her work are the fresh colors\, meticulous detailing\, and the dynamic flow created with the nerikomi technique. Konno is partial to the nerikomi technique\, which she feels is akin to painting with clay in which the medium itself becomes an instrument for painting. She prefers this technique to using brushes for embellishing surfaces\, feeling that the lines created by nerikomi are more natural and allow Konno to express her energy and zest for life. Through use of this technique\, Konno realizes the flower looking creatures\, making them appear more realistic and imaginative and drawing viewers into her mysterious flower garden. While participating in a number of international residency programs\, Konno’s work has been housed at collectors’ homes internationally\, and a number of museum collections including the Detroit Institute of Arts and Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum\, Japan.\n\nThis event is cosponsored by the Detroit Institute of Art.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Physics in the 21st Century: Ruminations about Physics & Complexity
DESCRIPTION:The 20th Century saw physics and our corresponding understanding of the world around us virtually explode.  Relativity and quantum mechanics totally revolutionized the way we describe matter and energy and led to astonishing discoveries and technological advances.  In 1900\, the electron had just been discovered and the structure of the atom was just being probed.  By 2000\, we could “see” atoms\, use general relativity to correct atomic clocks for use in the GPS system\, produce Bose-Einstein condensates at nano-Kelvin\, detect signatures of the big bang\, and countless other scientific marvels without parallel in human history.  But are the paradigms of 20th century physics still robust and useful for the challenges of the 21st century?  As Neils Bohr famously said “Prediction is very difficult\, especially if it’s about the future.” (sometimes wrongly attributed to Yogi Bera) so I will avoid that trap to the degree possible.  Instead\, I will ruminate about the amazing progress in physics in the past and suggest some of the big challenges that lie ahead in which complexity may play an important role.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IISS Workshop. What is Your Evidence? A Salafi Therapy in Contemporary Egypt
DESCRIPTION:This article examines the notion of evidence (dalil) as it circulates in a revivalist religious therapy in contemporary Egypt to address current transformations of Islamic epistemologies\, especially in relation to modern science. It focuses on Qur’anic healing\, a Salafi-oriented therapy of spirit (jinn) exorcism that has become increasingly popular\, visible\, and debated in the public sphere beginning with the 1980s. By tracing the semantics and pragmatics of Qur’anic healing’s evidentiary regime\, I show that evidence is situated and crosses two domains of knowledge\, bringing together a Salafi episteme that foregrounds unmediated induction from the Qur’an and sunna and forms of reasoning and practice\, like empiricism and experimentation\, that pertain to modern science. In this manner\, evidence functions like a hinge notion that hierarchically links the religious and scientific domains\, giving precedence to the former over the latter. I argue that the centrality of evidence in this novel Salafi therapy is indicative of an epistemology that unites Islam and science under a wider theory of knowledge as transparent\, egalitarian\, and public. This discussion suggests new ways of understanding Salafism beyond common depictions as critical of nontextual sources and intolerant of modern formations.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Thomas Devereaux: Light controlled topological phase transitions in multi-orbital and frustrated magnetic systems
DESCRIPTION:Spurred by recent progress in melting\, enhancement and induction of electronic order out of equilibrium\, a tantalizing prospect concerns instead accessing transient Floquet steady states via broad pump pulses\, to affect electronic properties. Here\, we consider a two-pronged approach to manipulate the topology of a band insulator\, as well as topological order in a Mott insulator. We first consider monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) [1]\, and show that their low-energy description as massive 2D relativistic fermions fails to hold for optical pumping. Instead\, the added complexity of a realistic materials description leads to a novel mechanism to optically induce topologically-protected chiral edge modes\, facilitating optically-switchable conduction channels that are insensitive to disorder. We develop a strategy to understand non-equilibrium Floquet-Bloch bands and topological transitions directly from ab initio calculations\, and illustrate for the example of WS2 that control of chiral edge modes can be dictated solely from symmetry principles and is not qualitatively sensitive to microscopic materials details. Second\, we extend these ideas to strongly correlated systems and show that pumping frustrated Mott insulators with circularly-polarized light can drive the effective spin system across a phase transition to a chiral spin liquid (CSL) [2]. We show that the transient time evolution of a Kagome lattice Hubbard model is well captured by an effective spin description\, where circular polarization promotes a staggered scalar spin chirality Si . (Sj x Sk) directly to the Hamiltonian level. We fingerprint the ensuing phase diagram and find a stable photo-induced CSL in proximity to the equilibrium ground state. The results presented suggest new avenues to marry dynamical symmetry breaking\, strong interactions\, and ab initio materials modelling\, to access elusive phase transitions that are not readily accessible in equilibrium.\n\nBio: Professor Devereaux received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Oregon in 1991\, M.S. from University of Oregon in 1988\, and B.S from New York University in 1986.\nProfessor Devereaux is currently the Director of the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES)\, the Associate Lab Director (ALD) for Photon Science\, a professor in the Photon Science Faculty at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University and a Senior Fellow of the Precourt Institute for Energy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Fall Series - Additive Manufactured MicroChannels for Cooling Gas Turbine Airfoils
DESCRIPTION:Karen A. Thole\, Distinguished Professor and Department Head Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering Department\, Steady Thermal Aero Research Turbine (START) Lab\, Pennsylvania State University\n\nRecent technological advances in the field of additive manufacturing (AM)\, particularly with direct metal laser sintering (DMLS)\, have increased the potential for building gas turbine components with AM. Using DMLS for turbine components broadens the design space and allows for increasingly small and complex geometries to be fabricated with little increase in time or cost.  Challenges arise when attempting to evaluate the advantages of DMLS for specific applications\, particularly because of how little is known regarding the effects of surface roughness.  This presentation shows resulting pressure drop and heat transfer measurements of flow through as produced microchannels that have been manufactured using DMLS in an effort to better understand resulting roughness effects.  Results presented also show the effect of build direction and channel shape on the roughness as well as build tolerances.  Results showed significant augmentation of these parameters compared to smooth channels\, particularly with the friction factor for microchannels with small hydraulic diameters. However\, augmentation of Nusselt number did not increase proportionally.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nDr. Karen A. Thole is a Distinguished Professor and Head of the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University.  She is the founder of the Steady Thermal Aero Research Turbine Laboratory (START) lab\, which focuses on gas turbine heat transfer and is a center of excellence for a major turbine engine manufacturer.  She has published over 200 archival papers and advised 70 dissertations and theses. She is currently a nominee to the ASME Board of Governors.  Dr. Thole co-founded the Engineering Ambassadors\, which is a professional development program with an outreach mission.  She was recently recognized as SWE’s 2014 Distinguished Engineering Educator and in 2015 with ASME’s George Westinghouse Gold Medal and the Edwin F. Church Medal. She holds two degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois\, and a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASC Lecture.Trepidation\, Longing\, and Belonging: Liberating the curriculum at universities in South Africa
DESCRIPTION:The lecture will focus on the political and higher educational context that has led to the call for decolonization of the curriculum at universities in South Africa\, and the contested and varying ideas of curriculum decolonization. Dr. Badat will argue (i) that liberation of the curriculum and curricula is urgent and long overdue\, and that there is a historic opportunity for liberating the curriculum from old and pernicious orthodoxies that impede knowledge making\, arbitrarily value certain modes of knowledge making and certain knowledges\, and constrain the construction\, teaching\, and assessment of courses and syllabi\; (ii) that liberating the curriculum is inextricably connected to transforming institutional cultures\, and to clarifying the purposes\, goals\, and roles of universities in South Africa\, a society that must simultaneously ensure environmentally sustainable economic development\, advance social equity\, and consolidate and deepen democracy. \n\nDr. Saleem Badat is the program director of International Higher Education \nand Strategic Projects at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. His portfolio includes the South Africa program and international grantmaking in higher education. \n\nDr. Badat has served as the director of the Education Policy Unit at the University of the Western Cape\, as the first head of the Council on Higher Education\, which advises the South African Minister of Higher Education and Training\, and as vice-chancellor (the equivalent of the president in the US system) of Rhodes University in South Africa. He has been chairperson of Higher Education South Africa\, and of the Association of African Universities Scientific Committee on Higher Education.  He is a board member of the Centre for Higher Education Transformation\, a member of the Carnegie 3 Study on Poverty and Inequality in South Africa Think Tank\, and a trustee of the Harold Wolpe Memorial Trust.

SUMMARY:Other:Biomimetic nanotechnology for improved targeting and capturing of tumor cells
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                Despite the ongoing fight against cancer\, the debilitating disease remains the second most cause of death in the US. This presentation will highlight our current research in an effort to intervene cancer development through marriage of dendrimer chemistry\, nanotechnology and biomimicry\, focusing on 1) novel nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery and 2) biomimetic devices for effective detection and separation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs).  For targeted drug delivery\, we have developed a hybrid nanoparticle system integrating targeted poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers and poly(lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) nanoparticles. This unique design allowed us to combine the advantages of each nanocarrier\, i.e.\, effective tissue penetration of dendrimers and prolonged circulation of PLA-PEG nanoparticles\, in a controlled manner\, providing a novel delivery platform.  Additionally\, we have also found that the tumor penetration behaviors of nanoparticles are highly dependent upon the size\, surface charge\, and rigidity of the nanoparticles. For CTC capturing\, we have developed a novel separation method using a biomimetic approach combined with nanotechnology. The biomimetic combination of dynamic rolling and multivalent binding via dendrimers significantly enhances the surface capture efficiency of target tumor cells by up to ~150 fold\, compared to a surface with a single cancer cell marker such as aEpCAM. Recent clinical data obtained using our device will be also presented\, which has shown the strong correlation between kinetic CTC profiles and clinical outcomes.  These results indicate that our CTC device with high sensitivity and specificity has great potential to be translated.                         \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nSeungpyo Hong (University of Wisconsin)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Communication & Media Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Mobile communication technologies are often hailed in the popular press and public policy as a means of “giving voice to the voiceless.” Behind the praise are determinist beliefs about technology as a gateway to opportunity\, voice as a metaphor for agency and self-representation\, and voicelessness as a stable and natural category. In this talk\, based on her new book Giving Voice: Mobile Communication\, Disability\, and Inequality (MIT Press\, 2017)\, Dr. Meryl Alper offers a new angle on these established critiques through a qualitative study of individuals with significant communication disabilities who use mobile devices for synthetic speech output. Alper finds that despite widespread claims to empowerment\, these tools are still subject to disempowering structural inequalities. Culture\, laws\, institutions\, and even technology itself can reinforce disparities among those with disabilities across class\, race\, ethnicity\, and gender. Alper argues that voice is an overused and imprecise metaphor in media and communication studies\, one that abstracts\, obscures\, and oversimplifies the human experience of disability. She will discuss implications of her research for our rapidly changing media ecology and political environment\, where the question is not only which voices get to speak\, but also who is thought to have a voice to speak with in the first place.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CSAS Lecture Series | Film Screening and discussion of Khoon diy Baarav (Blood Leaves its Trail)
DESCRIPTION:The film Khoon Diy Baarav enters the vexed political scenario in Kashmir through the lives of families of the victims of enforced disappearances. In an enforced disappearance people literally disappear\, from their loved ones and their community\, when state officials (or someone acting with state consent) grab them from the street or from their homes and then deny it\, or refuse to say where they are.Today it is recognized as a crime under international law. The film is a non-sequential account of personal narratives and reminiscences ruptured by violence. Made over nine years it explores memory as a mode of resistance\, constantly confronting and morphing - from the personal to political\, individual to collective. The film looks at the ways in which those affected by violence have no choice but to remember. \n    \nThe screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker\, Iffat Fatima.\n\nIffat Fatima is an independent documentary filmmaker and researcher from Kashmir\, based in Delhi. Since 2006 she is working in Kashmir on the issue of enforced disappearances in collaboration with the Association Of Parents Of Disappeared Persons (APDP)\, a collective of the family members of the victims of enforced disappearances in Kashmir campaigning for information on the whereabouts of their disappeared kin. In 2011\, she made a short film Where Have You Hidden My New Crescent Moon on enforced disappearances. Her most recent film Khoon Diy Baarav (Blood Leaves its Trail) explores issues of violence and memory in Kashmir.\n\nShe very recently did the audio visual design for an exhibition Gold Dust Of Begum Sultans (19 April -10th May 2016) at The Indira Gandhi National Centre for The Arts \, New Delhi.  In 2015 she co-edited a compendium Bread Beauty Revolution\, Khwaja Ahmad Abbas (1914-1987). In 2004\, she completed a Fellowship\, Recasting Reconciliation through Culture and the Arts\, at the Brandeis University\, Boston\, USA. In 2001\, she was awarded the Asia Fellowship for her work in Sri Lanka\, Inter-communal Relations and Education: The Sri Lankan Experience. \n\nHer films include\, Lanka- the other side of war and peace\, on the history of overlapping conflicts in Sri Lanka\; The Kesar Saga\, on storytelling in Ladakh\; In the Realm of the Visual\, on one of India’s most prolific and versatile artist and designer\, Dashrath Patel\; Boojh Sakey to Boojh\, on the contemporary understanding of the thirteenth-century Sufi poet and scholar Amir Khusro.  Her video installation\, Ethnography of a European city: Conversations in Salzburg\, questions some of the assumptions in the east  vs. west polarity/ dichotomy /disparity.\n\nCosponsored by the Donia Human Rights Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Distinguished University Professorship Lecture | Networks of People\, Places\, and Information and What Physics Can Say About Them
DESCRIPTION:Many features of the world around us can be represented as networks. There are social networks of friendship or acquaintance\, infrastructure networks like the internet or the power grid\, transportation networks of roads\, railways or airline flights\, networks of information like the world wide web\, and many others. This lecture will introduce some of the rich history of the study of networks and discuss some of the remarkable advances of the last few years\, when a combination of insights from physics\, the social sciences\, biology\, mathematics\, and computer science have come together to shed light on issues as diverse as the spread of disease\, online dating\, scientific collaboration\, animal behavior\, web search\, and the very structure of human society.\n\nBIO\nMark Newman received a Ph.D. in physics from Oxford University in 1991 and conducted postdoctoral research at Cornell University before taking a position at the Santa Fe Institute\, a think-tank in New Mexico devoted to the study of complex systems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Host heterogeneities to infection shape the impact of climate change
DESCRIPTION:Predictive models and experimental manipulations on climate changes and infectious diseases have primarily focused on how climate change can affect host exposure\, such as the risk of infection and disease spread. However\, host immunity to infections is an important source of variation among individuals and we need to take into account how this alters the way climate affects host-parasite interactions. Using a combination of long-term field observations\, field and laboratory manipulations and mathematical modeling of a rabbit-helminth system\, I explore whether heterogeneities in the host immune response exacerbate or suppress the impact of climate warming on the dynamics and persistence of two gastrointestinal helminths. Experimental trials and modelling simulations suggest that non-linearities in the system create complex interactions where climate impacts more heavily some hosts than others and at a specific time of the year.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/RYkxibeXeuE

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: At the Gates of the Temple:  Tracing the Boundaries of Political Culture in Ptolemaic Egypt
DESCRIPTION:At the gates of ancient Egyptian temples are traces of public space and transcultural politics that have gone misrecognized and neglected in histories of the Hellenistic age (ca. 330-30 BCE). Over three centuries of Ptolemaic rule\, temple gates\, and forecourts emerged as sites of political\, judicial and religious practice that mediated relations between a Macedonian Greek king and a multi-ethnic population\, between the court at Alexandria and the Egyptian countryside. Some practices\, such as the decree on the Rosetta stone\, were glocalizations of widespread genres of discourse\, evidence that Egyptian temples were not worlds apart\, but at a nexus of Mediterranean relations.\n\nIan Moyer is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Michigan. He completed his PhD at the University of Chicago\, and before coming to Michigan\, he taught in the History and Classics departments at Pomona College. He has also been a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. His first book\, entitled Egypt and the Limits of Hellenism\, explores the ancient history and modern historiography of cultural and intellectual encounters between ancient Greeks and Egyptians. This work ranges across the fields of history\, classics\, Egyptology\, and the history of religions\, and addresses problems of culture\, identity and agency in cross-cultural interactions. In his current work\, under the working title \"At the Gates of the Temple\,\" he is examining the gates and forecourt areas of Egyptian temples in the Ptolemaic period as sites of cultural and political mediation and the construction of authority. Together with Adam Lecznar and Heidi Morse\, he is also editing a volume entitled Classicisms in the Black Atlantic\, a collection of essays on the reception and (re)construction of the \"classical\" in the Black Atlantic.\n\nThis lecture is free 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:Workshop / Seminar:Maternal Depression\, Parenting Behaviors and Child Development: Evidence from a Randomized Control Trial
DESCRIPTION:We evaluate the long-term impact of treating maternal depression on women's financial empowerment and parenting decisions by exploiting experimental variation induced by a cluster-randomized control trial which provided psychotherapy to perinatally depressed mothers in rural Pakistan. The trial\, the largest such in the world\, was highly successful at reducing depression. We relocated mothers six years after the end of the intervention to evaluate its long run effects. We find that the intervention increased women's financial empowerment\, increasing their  control over household spending\, and that it increased both time- and money-intensive parental investments\, with increases in investments tending to favor girls. We also detect improvements in parenting style among mothers of girls.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Road to Graduate Success
DESCRIPTION:Graduate school can be daunting. It’s often an extended exercise in not being told about the things you’d better know. The path to success is seldom smooth nor clear\, populated by busy people and opaque processes. Alas\, here is a forum for graduate students to hear from their senior colleagues about challenges in their academic journeys and how they overcame them. We asked an interdisciplinary group of these busy people to devote two hours of their time to answering your questions. Join us to gain insight from their hindsight!\n\nEdible fare and refreshments to be served!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Morehshin Allahyari: On Digital Colonialism\, Re-figuring\, and Monstrosity
DESCRIPTION:Morehshin Allahyari is an Iranian media artist\, activist\, educator\, and curator who uses computer modeling and digital fabrication techniques to explore the intersection of art and activism. “I want my work to respond\, resist\, and criticize the current political and cultural situation that we experience on a daily basis\,” she explains. Allahyari’s Material Speculation: ISIS\, a digital fabrication project that inspects petropolitical and poetic relationships between 3D printing\, oil\, techno-capitalism\, and jihadism\, has achieved wide acclaim for proposing 3D printing technology as a tool both for resistance and documentation. The many publications featuring the work include the New York Times\, Huffington Post\, Wired\, NPR\, Rhizome\, Hyperallergic\, Dazed Digital\, and VICE. She has exhibited at numerous institutions and festivals throughout the world\, including Centre Pompidou\, Paris\; Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences\, Australia\; Hartware MedienKunstVerein and Transmediale in Germany.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“American Berserk” artist talk and opening reception with Valerie Hegarty
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.  \n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

SUMMARY:Other:V. I. Lenin's 'The State and Revolution': A Review of an Important Marxist Theoretical Work
DESCRIPTION:In anticipation of the upcoming campus event to mark the centenary of the 1917 Russian Revolution (learn more about it here: Why Study the Russian Revolution?)\, the IYSSE will hold a discussion this week on VI Lenin’s political tract The State and Revolution. We will use the recent online lecture From the July Days to the Kornilov Coup: Lenin’s The State and Revolution hosted by the World Socialist Web Site for the discussion. We ask students and youth to listen to the lecture and attend our meeting this Thursday. At the meeting we will collectively try to answer the following questions: What are Marx and Engels’ main conceptions of the state\, and the tasks of the proletarian revolution in relation to the state?What are some of the ways in which the Marxist conceptions of the state have been distorted or rejected? For example by Bernstein\, by Kautsky\, by the Mensheviks?Why did Lenin return to the basics of Marxism on the question of the state after the July Days?How would you answer those who claim the state exists as a means for the reconciliation of the class struggle?Has the state always existed?In what ways does this tract relate to modern political and social developments? For instance in the ongoing events in Catalonia\, or with the increase in police violence in the United States? We will also discuss our plans to promote the November 8 lecture \"Why Study the Russian Revolution?  by WSWS International Editorial Board Chairman David North. This lecture will take place exactly 100 years and one day after the October insurrection\, led by the Bolshevik Party. We hope you will take part in these critical and timely meetings.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Classical Liberal\, Libertarian\, and Conservative Perspectives on Immigration
DESCRIPTION:Every country in the world imposes strong restrictions on immigration. Can those restrictions be justified? \n \nOn one hand\, immigration restrictions seem to impinge on individual liberty. Greater freedom of movement will also make potential immigrants better off. On the other hand\, open-border policies might strain civil society and harm the interests of certain groups of citizens (especially the poor). They are also politically unpopular in democratic countries. Modern political reality further raises the issue of partial border enforcement\, as is presently the case in the U.S. Regardless of whether current immigration restrictions are justified\, is there injustice in selectively enforcing immigration laws? \n \nThe panelists will defend very different answers to these questions. Reihan Salam argues from a conservative perspective that open-border policies will strain important social and political institutions\, in part by dramatically increasing inequality. Michael Huemer argues for the libertarian position against restrictions on immigration on grounds of justice and liberty. And Hrishikesh Joshi contends\, from classical liberal starting points\, that partial border enforcement is both unjust and bad public policy. \n \nThe panel will end with a Q&A session\, and refreshments will be served!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Curatorial Dilemmas: Representing Africa at UMMA with Pamela McClusky
DESCRIPTION:A series of talks by leading curators and thinkers in African art will launch a reimagining process for the forthcoming reinstallation of UMMA’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African Art. Pamela McClusky\, Curator of African and Oceanic Art\, Seattle Art Museum\, will be the second speaker in this series to contribute reflections on her own groundbreaking work in the display of African art.\n\nMcClusky established a department for the Art of Africa\, Oceania and the Americas at the Seattle Art Museum in the 1980s.  It became the museum’s fastest growing department\, receiving several significant collections\, and hosting a vast range of exhibitions.  Honoring the depth of the African holdings\, she led a collaborative process with African artists\, scholars\, and advisors to create a national tour\, publication and web resource entitled: Long Steps Never Broke a Back in 2002-2004. \n\nDuring the last decade\, she has collaborated on exhibitions such as Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth\, Gauguin and Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise\, and Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian Ikats. When the Seattle Art Museum expanded in 2007\, she curated multiple galleries of African art\, along with experimental installations that mixed cultural perspectives and cross continental boundaries. In 2012\, she led an effort to place Australian art in the permanent galleries and oversaw an exhibition\, publication and tour called Ancestral Modern: Australian Aboriginal Art.  Recently\, she was the lead curator for Disguise: Masks and Global African Art\, a national touring exhibition that combined masks of the past with masquerading of the present\, and Mood Indigo: Textiles from Around the World.  She is now working on a new design and interpretation of the African collection galleries which will focus on the distinctions between public and private art and the ways they are presented in museums.\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.\n\nThis lecture series is presented in partnership with the University of Michigan African Studies Center\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Museum Studies Program. \n\nThe series is presented in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa (on view from August 19-December 31\, 2017).

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 uses 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.

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.

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.

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: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:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

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:Teach Out Series: The Internet and You
DESCRIPTION:Can the Internet be controlled? Should it be? How does the history of the Internet help predict what we should expect for its future? Is net neutrality a lost cause or something worth fighting for? The Internet continues to surprise us as a force for change and disruption in our daily lives and society at large. While it seems as though these significant disruptions are a recent phenomena\, in reality we have seen these profound societal disruptions since the 1990s. In this Teach-Out\, participants will learn how the Internet has affected human communication\, the sharing and discovery of information\, and social interactions. Discussions on current trends and potential ways the Internet will continue to affect society will also be explored\, as well as how learners can empower their own productivity and impact in the ever-evolving landscape of the Internet.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!\n\nFind new opportunities at teach-out.org.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Sean Hoskins
DESCRIPTION:MFA alumnus and current Department of Dance staff and part-time faculty member Sean Hoskins guides people through the improvisational and compositional processes he uses to translate geography and landscapes into movement material. He will also teach phrase material from recent works\, including the group dance that he is choreographing at EMU this fall. Hoskins' teaching emphasizes choice-making and agency as a performer\, improviser\, dance maker\, etc.\n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.\n\nThis event supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 836 Seminar Series: Albert Fu
DESCRIPTION:Title: Behavior and Biomechanical Aspects of Ladder Climbing\n \nBio: Albert Fu is a pre-candidate at the University of Michigan Center for Ergonomics. He has been working on the NIOSH Ladder Study since the beginning of 2015. The study focuses on how different ladder configuration\, with different pitching\, rail height and rung spacing\, would affect the biomechanical loads and risk of falls. He is currently involved in an orthotic device design project\, doing biomechanical modeling and post clinic evaluation of patients’ gait using Inertia Measurement Units (IMUs). \n\nAbstract: Ladder climbing is common for painting\, construction\, roofing\, communication tower maintenance\, and firefighting jobs. Biomechanical loads for supporting\, raising and lowering the weight of the body during climbing can cause fatigue and contribute to musculoskeletal disorders.  This presentation will show an overview of the NOISH ladder study\, and two primal findings. First finding shows different hand hold style would affect climber’s behavior from both kinematic and biomechanical aspect. Second finding shows that stature could affect foot placement strategy under different pitch\, and a proposed kinematic model to explain it.  This finding was demonstrated in AHFE 2017 poster session.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:EIHS Symposium: Attica and Foucault: A Conversation on Heather Ann Thompson's \"Blood in the Water\"
DESCRIPTION:In 1972\, the French philosopher Michel Foucault visited Attica in upstate New York. Though he was engaged in prison politics in his native France\, this was probably the first penitentiary the author of Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (1977) was able to enter. In the United States\, Attica unfailingly conjures up memories ofone of the deadliest prison uprisings in American history—the subject of a penetrating and celebrated new study by Heather Ann Thompson. Our symposium aims at bringing these prison histories into dialogue.\n\nProfessor Thompson’s interlocutor\, Bernard Harcourt\, is a political theorist with a focus on penal practices. He edited Foucault’s works on punitive society and counts among the theorists of the carceral state.\n\nLink below to read the interview Foucault gave after his visit to Attica Prison. Hard copies available in the Eisenberg Institute (1521 Haven Hall).\n\nhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/29766617\n\nPresented with support from the Political Theory Workshop and the Department of Political Science.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. We regret that lunch will not be served at this event due to the 1-3 pm timing.\n\nThis event is part of the Friday 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:PhonDi Discussion Group: Production and perception of prosodic boundaries in American English
DESCRIPTION:The current study investigates how individual speakers employ these multiple cues to prosodic boundaries in speech production and perception. The study aims to examine (1) how speakers utilize various properties in conveying the prosodic aspects of speech\, (2) how listeners integrate these prosodic cues in speech perception\, and (3) whether there is a relation between (1) and (2) at the level of the individual language user: that is\, does a speaker’s production of prosodic patterns influence their perceptual use of those patterns? In this talk\, I will mainly discuss the motivations for and implications of my dissertation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminars | New Directions in the Search for Dark Matter
DESCRIPTION:The existence of dark matter has been well established with overwhelming evidence\, but its particle identity is still unknown. For more than three decades\, significant theoretical and experimental efforts have been directed towards the search for a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP)\, often overlooking other possibilities. The lack of an unambiguous positive WIMP signal\, at both indirect- and direct-detection experiments and at the LHC\, stresses the need to expand dark matter research into additional theoretical scenarios and\, more importantly\, to develop new experimental capabilities that go beyond the limitations of WIMP detection. In this talk I will shortly review the current status of the field and discuss new theoretical ideas and experimental avenues for searching for light dark matter in the MeV to GeV mass range\, focusing on direct detection experiments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: Media Competition and the Source of Disagreement
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nWe identify a novel channel through which competition among information providers decreases the efficiency of electoral outcomes. The critical insight we put forward is that the level of competition in the market determines the type of information that is provided in equilibrium. In our model\, voters can disagree on which issues are important to them and on how each issue in their agenda should be addressed. We show that the level of competition in the market determines how much firms differentiate in terms of the type of information they produce. Importantly\, differentiation leads to higher provision of information on issues where there is higher disagreement in the electorate. Although voters become individually better informed\, voting decisions shift from focusing on valence issues to ideological issues. On aggregate\, the share of votes going to the socially optimal candidate decreases. Our model also highlights how competition in the market for news can have negative welfare consequences even in the absence of behavioral agents or partisan media\, therefore offering a new\, and to some extent more distressing\, perspective on the problem.
