Payne Collegiate Professor of Education and Arthur F. Thurnau Professor at the University of Michigan. She is the director of TeachingWorks and a former elementary teacher. Ball’s research focuses on teaching mathematics in ways that disrupt the reproduction of inequity and make it possible for children to enjoy and engage in mathematics in and out of school. Dr. Ball is an expert on teacher education\, and her current work centers on how to improve the quality of beginning teaching.\n\nDespite powerful notions\, skillful teaching does not come naturally. Teaching depends on specialized knowledge of content and the ability to understand others. It requires good judgment and the capacity to build relationships with and among people\, create respectful learning environments\, and understand the role of cultures\, contexts and communities. The presentation will focus on what is required to prepare beginning teachers and why everyone needs to stand up for the power of skillful teaching.\n\nThis is the third in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2017-18. A variety of topics will be covered. There is one lecture each month\, for a total of ten. The next lecture will be on December 12\, 2017. The subject is An Update on Health Care Reform: Where Does it Stand?

These systems enable a wide variety of missions\, including crewed missions to near-Earth asteroids and Mars. Hall thrusters are a particularly attractive technology for these missions\, but development and demonstration of 100-kW class devices has been limited to date. Here\, a 100-kW class three-channel nested Hall thruster called the X3 was operated up to 102 kW total discharge power at NASA Glenn Research Center. The thruster demonstrated stable operation in all seven channel combinations at discharge voltages from 300 V to 500 V and three different current densities. All seven channel combinations demonstrated similar performance at a given discharge voltage and current density. The largest thrust recorded was 5.4 N\, and total efficiency and specific impulse ranged from 0.54 to 0.67 and 1800 seconds to 2650 seconds\, respectively. In addition to the performance measurements\, a suite of plasma diagnostics and a high-speed camera were used to study the operation of the thruster in greater detail. This work represents the highest total power (102 kW)\, thrust (5.4 N)\, and discharge current (247 A) demonstrated by a Hall thruster to date\, improvements of 6%\, 64%\, and 119% respectively over previous values. These results are discussed in the context of continued high-power Hall thruster development and future mission applications.\n\nDissertation Committee \nDean Alec D. Gallimore\, Co-Chair\nAsst.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

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.

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.

Part of a wider\, unprecedented “legislative turn” in imperial rule that quadrupled the number of substatutes in the Qing code\, successive emperors enacted a flood of new legislation that expanded the concept of criminal behavior and increased the number of death penalty offenses that were subject to annual review. The crackdown on crime swamped the judicial bureaucracy and created ideological\, political\, and institutional quandaries for the eighteenth-century criminal justice. \n \nTom Buoye is an Associate Professor\, Department of History\, University of Tulsa\, Research Associate\, Center for Chinese Studies\, University of Michigan\, and Team Member\, “Legalizing Space in China\,” Institut d’Asie Orientale\, ENS Lyon\, France\, an international collaborative project to translate the sub-statutes of the Qing dynasty law code. His research interests span social\, legal\, and economic history of late imperial China. His current research focuses on the crisis in eighteenth century criminal justice and the “legislative turn” in Qing rule.

Despite this staggering wealth of objects\, to date there have been few attempts to understand their place in the history of the University and its scientific and disciplinary culture. In this talk\, Kerstin Barndt shares new findings about the genesis of the collections in Michigan’s nineteenth century geological surveys and global collection expeditions\, and about the role of the U-M museums in Michigan’s state formation.\n\nDrawing comparisons with paradigmatic university museums in the US and in Europe\, she concentrates on the life cycle of particular collections and highlights their important role in the disciplinary and historical self-understanding of the university. With some of these collections having subsequently lost this function and now considered missing\, Barndt’s work performs a crucial work of historical recovery that shows how academic museums and their displays delineated and contested the distinctions between nature and culture\, science and religion. Illustrated with copious examples from the riches of U-M’s collections\, this talk outlines the many\, complex\, and hybrid dimensions of university museums as institutions of research\, teaching and public display.\n\nBarndt's research is currently featured in the exhibition \"Object Lessons:\nRecollecting Museum Histories at Michigan\" on view at the U-M Museum of Natural History through December 30\, as well as the book\, with Carla Sinopoli\, \"Object Lessons and the Formation of Knowledge: The University of Michigan Museums\, Libraries\, and Collections 1817–2017 .\"\n\nKerstin Barndt is associate professor of Germanic languages and literatures and a 2013-14 Helmut F. Stern fellow at the Institute for the humanities.

How do individuals affectively engage with moral stimuli\, and to what extent do they regulate emotion in moral contexts? To examine these questions\, I take a multilevel approach\, using both behavioral measures and functional neuroimaging across a wide developmental age range. In particular\, I focus on everyday moral decision-making\, as it is a context where individuals must balance their emotional responses with internalized moral norms. These factors make it an area where emotion regulation occurs both naturally and to varying degrees of success. In my talk\, I will discuss the metacognitive beliefs that people hold about emotion regulation in moral situations\, how (and if) individuals regulate emotion in social and moral contexts\, and how emotion regulation ability changes as a function of development.

Not if that bead is near a surface: rolling leads to translational motion\, as well as very strong flows around the bead\, even quite far away. These flows strongly couple the motion of nearby microrollers (rotating beads)\, which leads to a rich variety of collective effects. Using experiments in tandem with large-scale 3D simulations\, we have shown that driving a compact group of microrollers leads to a new kind of flow instability\, whose wavelength is controlled not by the driving torque or the fluid viscosity\, but a geometric parameter: the microroller's distance above the container floor. Furthermore\, under the right conditions\, stable\, compact clusters we term \"critters\" can emerge from the unstable interface. Our simulations and experiments suggest that these critters are a stable state of the system\, move much faster than individual rollers\, and quickly respond to a changing drive. We believe that critters are unique in that they are clusters which form only with hydrodynamic interactions\; no interparticle potentials are needed to create these structures. Furthermore\, as compact\, self-assembled structures which can easily be remotely guided\, critters may offer a promising tool for microscopic transport.\n UID:45392-10167095@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45392 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171114T181525 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Mechanisms regulating heme reduction and catalysis in NO synthase enzymes DESCRIPTION: \n \n \n \n \nDennis Stuehr (Cleveland Clinic) UID:41304-9097456@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/41304 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CHEM CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171009T150326 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Painting for Freedom and the Freedom to Paint: Ben Shahn’s Murals and the Jewish Refugee Crisis DESCRIPTION:This illustrated slide lecture considers two sets of completed murals and one proposed mural by Ben Shahn which all explore issues of freedom against the backdrop of the looming European-Jewish refugee crisis of the late 1930s.\n\nImage Copyright: Estate of Ben Shahn.

The Politics of Secrecy in the Age of Revolutions DESCRIPTION:Americans have recently been questioning the propriety of secrecy in government\, particularly in the legislative process. As partisan acrimony plumbs new depths\, public discussion has focused in no small part on the process by which laws are drafted\, debated\, and implemented. Though there are few formal rules on what work must be done in public view on Capitol Hill\, let alone in the White House\, there is a general expectation that a representative democracy requires a certain degree of publicity\, or transparency\, in its politics. This lecture will illuminate the origin of this belief\, rooting it in the late eighteenth century Age of Revolutions. As countries like the United States and France established representative republics\, the question of what should be done in public view\, versus what could legitimately be kept secret\, was central to shaping both understandings and implementations of representative democracy. Though still largely unresolved\, it is a question that remains at the heart of our conceptions of what a representative government is\, how it should work\, and what makes it legitimate. \n \nA growing concern with state secrecy permeated politics in the North Atlantic World during the latter half of the eighteenth century. Suspicion of government secrets became central to mounting critiques of monarchical and ministerial power in the French and British empires on the eve of the revolutions that would rock them. In the lecture\, the speaker will trace how the nascent republics in the United States and France contended with the mounting distrust of government secrecy as they set up new regimes that claimed to speak for the people. Debates over the proper place of secrecy in these new governments were immediately and intimately linked to evolving conceptions of what it meant for politics to be representative and\, especially\, what it meant for representative government to be democratic. More than simple procedural questions—over whether doors to legislative chambers would be open or closed\, for example—these debates about secrecy in politics were tantamount to contests over the meaning of representative government and how it would work during the American and French revolutionary periods. They laid the foundation for ongoing debates about how much transparency is required and tenable to sustain our representative democracy. \n \nKatlyn Carter is a Weiser Emerging Democracies Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2017-18 academic year. She completed her Ph.D. in history at Princeton University in 2017. Her current research is on state secrecy and representative politics in the eighteenth-century Atlantic World. As a postdoctoral fellow\, Katlyn will be working on a book manuscript about the relationship between state secrecy and the first representative democracies. She will also begin work on her next project\, which will examine the problem of truth and trust at the founding of the American and French republics. The project will aim to provide historical context to the challenge of dealing with fake news and determining fact from fiction in a political system governed by public opinion and with a free press. Prior to beginning her Ph.D. at Princeton\, Katlyn received a B.A. with high honors in history from the University of California\, Berkeley and worked as a media relations consultant in Washington\, DC.

This event will demonstrate how a person’s activism can change over time\, how advocacy is tied to a person’s context and situational power\, and how partnering with diverse perspectives can strengthen advocacy and activism efforts. Health outcomes has been selected as the theme for this year’s symposium because of increasing uncertainty surrounding health care in America\, including coverage for women’s health care (mental health\, mammograms\, birth control\, maternity care\, etc.).\n\nThe goals for this one-day symposium are:\n-to engage students\, practitioners\, and researchers who are interested in advocacy and activism\n-to equip symposium participants with advocacy training that can be applied to their area(s) of interest\n-to develop a network among attendees for potential partnerships beyond the symposium\n-to highlight the value of diverse perspectives in advocacy work.\n\nThe symposium includes presentations by local and national advocacy experts who have taken varied approaches to advocacy in ways that best leverage their current context (power\, privilege\, and identity). Training sessions will feature capacity-building workshops on a range of topics from community organizing to bystander intervention to running for political office. Afternoon panel discussions will offer practical strategies that attendees can apply to their own work as advocates and activists. At the end of the day\, participants will be presented with a common challenge that they will address in small groups comprised of individuals from campus and community.\n\nThe day will close out with a surprise special keynote speaker to be announced soon!\n\nThis free event will take place on Wednesday\, November 15\, 2017 at the Michigan League. Space for the symposium is limited to 350 people\, however\, the free keynote lecture will be open to the public.\n\nRegistration available on our website now!\nwww.cew.umich.edu/SpectrumofAdvocacyandActivism UID:42755-9653779@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42755 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Community Service,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Free,Graduate Students,Health & Wellness,Inclusion,Leadership,Multicultural,Networking,Social Impact,Social Justice,Training,Undergraduate Students,Workshop LOCATION:Michigan League CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171115T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171115T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Creating a Campus: A Cartographic Celebration of U-M's Bicentennial DESCRIPTION:Learn about the campus’ history and architecture and explore the campus that might have been.

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.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

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.” UID:43032-9696919@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171108T135108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171115T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171115T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:WORLD LEADERS pop-up exhibition by Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen DESCRIPTION:An installation of new work by U-M alumna Chanel Habsburg-Lothringen whose work addresses the American notion of aspiration\, mortality\, and persona.

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 UID:42280-9593384@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170908T145419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171115T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171115T170000 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.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.

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.

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.

However\, our understanding of their joint effect even in its simplest description\, i.e. compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence\, is still scarce. One step towards a more comprehensive picture is a better understanding of the governing energy dynamics – looking at the interplay between kinetic and magnetic energy via different mediators such as advection\, magnetic tension or magnetic pressure. In this talk\, we present an extension of established shell-to-shell energy transfer analysis methods to the compressible MHD regime. We apply this analysis to numerical simulations in the subsonic and supersonic regime. These methods allow us to illustrate how varying degrees of compressibility influence the energy dynamics within and between kinetic and magnetic energy reservoirs. For example\, we show that compression acts against a magnetic energy cascade (scale-local magnetic to magnetic energy transfer). Moreover\, we present how magnetic tension becomes overall less important with increasing sonic Mach number.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast: https://mipse.my.webex.com/mipse.my/j.php?MTID=m3fe0c9edfcfbce7830deba12dfbbecd6 (password: MIPSE).

This talk explores the (bio) political meaning of the dehumanization of Armenians with its focus on the personal experiences of the Ottoman Armenian writer and activist\, Zabel Yesayan. If biopolitics can be defined as the management of lives by new power mechanisms that deprive people of human agency\, then how are we to understand the category of the biopoliticized life? Can a ‘biopoliticized life’ speak for itself\, for its reduction to a state of bodily existence\, for its own death? \n\nIn relation to the loss of one’s political and everyday life\, this talk concentrates on the paradox of the making of the modern biopoliticized subject\, which materializes in an alternative and radical form of life-writing. Emphasizing the ways one engages with life-writing\, which Dr. Aktokmakyan calls ‘auto-bio-thanato-graphy\,’ the talk examines the ‘non-sovereign’ quality in Yesayan’s \"Among the Ruins\" to reframe a theory of agency and body politics\, as well as the notion of the political in the Western Armenian literature. \n\nMaral Aktokmakyan earned her PhD in Western Languages and Literature from Boğaziçi University in 2016. She specializes in modern Western Armenian literature with her Master’s Thesis on female literary styles and discourses in the works of Serpouhi Dussap and Charlotte Brontë. She is currently working on the literary representations of biopolitical reductions with a particular emphasis on the Ottoman Armenians before and after the Genocide. Her dissertation\, entitled \"If This is Life: Rethinking the Modern Subject through the Aporia of Biopolitics\,\" examines the ways in which biopoliticized lives in the works of Zabel Yesayan and Hagop Mntzuri\, William Faulkner and Joseph Conrad are represented and problematized. \n\nPhoto caption: Ottoman Armenians celebrate the restoration of constitution in 1908\, Merzifon- in Les Armeniens 1917-1939 La Quete d’un Refuge (The Armenians\, 1917-1939 In Search of Refuge).

By developing a quantum mechanical model of the hybrid charge transfer exciton (HCTE) that is the intermediate between exciton generation and charge collection\, we have been successful in understanding the behavior of several organic/III-V semiconductor OI-HJs.[2] More recently\, we have extended this analysis to quantify the behavior of a new class of OI-HJs: those comprising a very thin film organic layered on a 2D transition metal dichalcogenide monolayer. For this latter purpose\, we have fabricated an organic/WS2 OI-HJ photodetector used to elaborate the charge and energy transport across these limited dimensional systems.[3] In this talk\, we will discuss the theoretical framework of HCTE dynamics\, along with measurement of its properties and its application to photodetection and other optoelectronic systems consisting of combinations of excitonic and conventional semiconductors.\n\n[1] C.

The educational system\, from kindergarten to university\, still suffers from the Pol Pot regime. \n\nThe high cost affiliated with sending a child to school in Cambodia makes many poor families struggle to educate their children. The students who make it through high school and enroll at university also face a number of challenges. After spending years learning by memorizing they are suddenly expected to learn by exploring and independently searching for new knowledge. This leads to significant problems with plagiarism and poor performance as well as stress and lowered self-esteem amongst students. \n\nTo support learning and wellbeing\, from kindergarten to university\, we need resources as well as knowledge. Private donors\, companies\, researchers\, and educators worldwide have an important role to play in Cambodia’s development. The challenge is to embrace a holistic perspective. The current challenges are looming so large that no isolated intervention would be able to solve them. Instead we need mindful engagement where every stakeholder gets the best possible information to make a useful contribution.\n\nIn the talk\, Evelina will share her experience of creating a positive setting for learning and growth. She will talk about how the practice of mindful engagement and the strengths of gratitude\, teamwork and creativity pave the way forward\; regardless if the task at hand is making sure that a 7-year-old has enough nutrition to focus in class\, preventing a 15-year-old from dropping out of school to work in a factory\, or supporting a 21-year-old university student who didn’t sleep for days anxious about an approaching deadline.\n\nAbout Fredriksson:\nEvelina is an educator\, consultant\, journalist\, and author.

Experimental data are often collected to understand the relationship between process parameters and product properties in this field. A special consideration in analyzing this type of data is that expert knowledge needs to be accommodated to make results meaningful. This talk will discuss two studies on statistical modeling of experimental data in biofabrication applications\, where different types of expert knowledge are incorporated in the form of constraints. In one study\, a constrained Gaussian process model is developed for biodegradation prediction in tissue-engineered scaffold fabrication\, and in the other study we propose a constrained varying-coefficient model for hydrogel property modeling in 3D printing of soft tissues. \n\nBiography: Li Zeng is an Assistant Professor in the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department of Texas A&M University. She received her B.S. in Precision Instruments and M.S. in Optical Engineering from Tsinghua University\, China\, and M.S. in Statistics and Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before joining Texas A&M\, she was a faculty in the Industrial\, Manufacturing\, and Systems Engineering Department of the University of Texas at Arlington. Her research interests are systems informatics and quality control in complex manufacturing and healthcare delivery systems. Her research is supported by national agencies such as NSF and NIH. She is a recipient of the Best Application Paper Award and Best Paper Award of IISE Transactions. She is a member of INFORMS and IISE\, and serves as associate editor of IISE Transactions.

Reyner Banham reacquainted the scholarly world with German geographer Anton Wagner's 1935 book Los Angeles: The Development\, Life\, and Form of the City of Two Million in Southern California. Based on extraordinary archival research\, field work\, and walks across the cityscape\, Wagner's encyclopedic study seeks to explain how a small town in a desert region located far from major transport routes and markets become a major metropolis. No less fascinating than Wagner's geography of Los Angeles is his own biography\, a tale of travel and international scholarly collaborations set against the background of German-American relations in the twentieth century.\n\nEdward Dimendberg is Professor of Humanities and European Languages and Studies at the University of California\, Irvine. He is author of Film Noir and the Spaces of Modernity (Harvard University Press\, 2004) and Diller Scofidio + Renfro: Architecture after Images (University of Chicago Press\, 2013) and a co-editor(with Anton Kaes and Martin Jay) of The Weimar Republic Sourcebook (University of California Press\, 1994). He is currently completing a monograph entitled The Los Angeles Project: Architectural and Urban Theories of the City of Exception and editing critical edition of Los Angeles: The Development\, Life\, and Form of the City of Two Million in Southern California by Anton Wagner for publication by the Getty Research Institute. Dimendberg serves on the editorial boards of the Weimar and Now German Cultural Criticism and FlashPoints book series\, on the Faculty Editorial Committee of the University of California Press\, and on the Book Publication Committee of the Modern Language Association. He works with individual scholars and offers publishing workshops as the principal of Dimendberg Consulting LLC.

Please check the event page right before the event for viewing information.\n\nJoin the conversation: #policytalks\n\n About the book:\nThe idea that a Senator—Republican or Democrat—would put the greater good of the country ahead of party seems nearly impossible to imagine in our current climate of gridlock and divisiveness. But this hasn’t always been the case. Arthur H. Vandenberg (1884–1951)\, Republican from Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, was the model of a consensus builder\, and the coalitions he spearheaded continue to form the foundation of American foreign and domestic policy today. Edward R. Murrow called him “the central pivot of the entire era\,” yet\, despite his significance\, Vandenberg has never received the full public attention he is due—until now. With this authoritative biography\, Hendrik Meijer reveals how Vandenberg built and nurtured the bipartisan consensus that created the American Century.\n\nFor more information\, visit http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/A/bo25248451.html \n\n About the author:\nHendrik Meijer worked as a reporter and editor before joining Meijer\, Inc.\, where he is executive chairman. He is the author of a biography of his grandfather\, Thrifty Years: The Life of Hendrik Meijer\, and the executive producer of the documentary America’s Senator: The Unexpected Odyssey of Arthur Vandenberg.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library\, and the Bentley Historical Library.

Fifth Ave.\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48104)\n\nDuring this 4-session class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills\, including meditation\, for managing stress and enriching your life. Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life\, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental\, accepting\, even curious\, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude\, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.\n\nKoru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill\, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks\, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!\n\nRegister today before the seats are filled! \n\nFor any questions\, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.

Between then and the 1980s\, most FinTech advancements were record-keeping and data systems found in the back offices of financial institutions\, out of sight of the public. As internet technology became more available\, however\, FinTech evolved rapidly. Financial firms digitized their processes\, and companies began introducing consumer-facing products such as online banking and PayPal.\n\nToday\, FinTech continues to disrupt and to evolve\, not only in how financial products and services are delivered\, but who delivers them. Regulators and market participants face challenges in\nunderstanding and balancing the benefits of FinTech against potential risks. Innovation helps catalyze growth and new opportunities while generating new risks. Regulatory structures in place could fail to accommodate changes in the financial marketplace. Regulators may overreact to new technologies\, stifling innovation and locking in old forms of doing business. At the same time\, regulatory complacency can have disastrous results\, permitting the buildup of systemic risk or widespread consumer harms.\n\nThis conference will explore methodologies that the private sector\, researchers\, and policymakers\ncan use harness the upside potential of financial innovation while reducing the downside risks.

The nucleus and the nuclear envelope\, which separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm\, have traditionally been viewed primarily from a biochemical perspective in providing a distinct intracellular compartment for DNA transcription and replication. Only recently have the biophysical and biomechanical properties of the nucleus emerged as crucial regulators of cellular function. My laboratory is combining cell and molecular biology approaches with microfabricated devices that mimic physiological environments\, live-cell microscopy\, and in vivo models to investigate how physical forces acting on the nucleus\, for example\, in contracting muscle cells or during migration of cells through tight interstitial spaces\, can challenge the integrity of the nucleus\, alter its structure\, and cause genomic and transcriptional changes. These processes play important roles in cellular mechanotransduction\, i.e.\, the ability of cells to convert mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals\, but can also contribute to various diseases when the nuclear structure is perturbed by mutations or altered protein expression. In particular\, mutations in the nuclear envelope proteins lamin A/C are responsible for a broad spectrum of diseases (laminopathies)\, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) and dilated cardiomyopathy. Despite extensive research efforts over the past two decades\, the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases remain incompletely understood. The fact that most mutations result in highly tissue-specific disease phenotypes primarily affecting skeletal and cardiac muscles\, in spite of the near ubiquitous expression of lamins A/C\, suggest that lamin mutations may render cells more sensitive to mechanical stress\, which then causes progressive cell failure in mechanically stressed tissues. We have previously demonstrated that lamin A/C mutations that cause muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy often result in impaired nuclear stability\, disrupted nucleo-cytoskeletal coupling\, and impaired activation of mechanosensitive genes. I will discuss new findings in this research area that highlight the importance of lamins A/C in mediating nuclear stability and mechanotransduction in mechanically stressed cells and tissues. At the same time\, increased nuclear deformability\, caused for example by reduced levels of lamins A/C\, can promote cell migration through tight spaces with cross-sections smaller than the nuclear diameter\, where the large size and rigidity of the nucleus can constitute a rate-limiting factor. I will present recent findings that demonstrate the importance of nuclear mechanics during cell migration in confined environments in vitro and in vivo\, as well as the functional consequences of cells having to squeeze their large nuclei through tight interstitial spaces and small pores in the extracellular matrix network. Our studies indicate that the intracellular stresses acting on the cell nucleus during confined migration can result in transient nuclear envelope rupture and DNA damage\, which is highly relevant to cancer cell migration but could also impact the function of immune cells. Our recent findings reveal specific differences in nuclear deformability and nuclear envelope composition in particularly aggressive breast cancer cells\, as well as new insights governing the biophysical mechanisms by which cells are able to squeeze their large nucleus through tight spaces.

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.

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.

Instead of orchestrating this resistance in spectacular mass protest\, they invoke clothwork as a silent yet potent resistance to these erasures. This talk elucidates how cloth arts allow Ainu women to move between “being Ainu\,” a racist label assigned by Japanese society\, to actively “becoming Ainu.” I describe how Ainu women counteract both the logics of erasure and the state’s neoliberal multiculturalist attempts to manage Ainu by embracing indigenous modernity on their own terms. \n \nann-elise lewallen\, Associate Professor\, University of California\, Santa Barbara\, is a cultural anthropologist of Japan\, India\, and an engaged scholar.

Feminism\, psychology\, and the gendering of neoliberal subjectivity\n\nNumerous feminist scholars have argued that women\, especially young women\, have been constructed as “ideal neoliberal subjects.” Informed by Foucauldian approaches that extend neoliberalism beyond a set of free market principles to a dynamic that creates and shapes new forms of subjectivity\, these scholars have demonstrated how young women in a “post-feminist” age are positioned to be consumers\, self-helpers\, and “empowered” agents par excellence. In this talk\, I selectively review the feminist critique of the gendering of neoliberal subjectivity\, and ask what role can – and does - feminist psychology play in countering and unsettling this agenda? Drawing on insights from psychosocial studies\, intersectionality theory\, and critical history\, I brainstorm some of the radical possibilities that feminist psychologies can offer under contemporary conditions.
