The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W.

Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

On this shore\, we've learned most of what we know. Recently\, we've waded a little way out\, maybe ankle-deep\, and the water seems inviting.” Carl Sagan visualized our perspective on Earth as looking out to a vast ocean\, and with an international fleet of space-based and ground observatories now and soon to come\, we are poised more than ever to jump into the larger universe. The upcoming Solar Orbiter mission gives us a perfect example of how far we can go when we work together across traditional boundaries and realize that nothing in science is done in isolation. Understanding our own star leads to an increased awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s place in our solar system\, as well as the Sun’s influence on planets near and far\, all the way out to the boundary of our solar system. And our vision doesn’t stop there\; using our star as a template informs our view of other star systems and their worlds. What we learn now\, sitting on that shore\, will enrich our journey out into the endless cosmic sea.

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

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

Like the original Blue Beard\, Heinrich Blaubart brings death to women he meets. Unlike the original Blue Beard\, though\, he doesn’t seek to do so\; in fact\, his fear of relationships makes him try to avoid women. This\, of course\, makes him all the more attractive to the women he encounters. On a deeper level\, the play suggests that everyone is searching for something different and for some acceptance. Perhaps one should take heed\, though\, of Maeterlinck’s warning that: “There is a Blue Beard room in everyone’s soul that should never be opened.” \n\nPresented in German by students enrolled in RCHums334: From the Page to the Stage.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library.

Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world.

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

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

Casas’s new drama creates a mosaic of a city struggling to survive and present itself to the world by exploring its hidden stories and history. Guest stage director Dexter Singleton\, now based on the East Coast\, grew up in Detroit and has relatives in Flint\, bringing a local touch to the production. With many of the issues remaining unresolved four years out\, Flint serves as a platform for dialogue regarding the future of the city and its resilient residents\, as well as for other communities facing similar problems.

Like the original Blue Beard\, Heinrich Blaubart brings death to women he meets. Unlike the original Blue Beard\, though\, he doesn’t seek to do so\; in fact\, his fear of relationships makes him try to avoid women. This\, of course\, makes him all the more attractive to the women he encounters. On a deeper level\, the play suggests that everyone is searching for something different and for some acceptance. Perhaps one should take heed\, though\, of Maeterlinck’s warning that: “There is a Blue Beard room in everyone’s soul that should never be opened.” \n\nPresented in German by students enrolled in RCHums334: From the Page to the Stage. Surtitles will make it possible for even non-German speakers to follow the action on stage. Directed by Janet Hegman Shier. \n\nSaturday\, April 6 at 8 PM and Sunday matinée\, April 7 at 2 PM in the Keene Theater (lower level of East Quad). \n\nWe recommend a donation of $5 or non-perishable food items though no one will be turned away at the door. Proceeds go to SAFE HOUSE and Food Gatherers.\n\nAbout RC Deutsches Theater: Since 1985\, the focus of this RC course offering is on acting and on reading plays by contemporary German-speaking authors. We supertitle our plays. Audiences will note the resemblance to the way theater is performed in much of Europe with minimal (or sometimes no) set.

In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, the University of Michigan Library\, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR)\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\n  UID:60521-14903613@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Library LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190407T120008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T150000 SUMMARY:Other:2019 USAT Collegiate Club National Championships DESCRIPTION:Nationals in Tempe\, AZ.https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Triathlon/Events/National-Championships/2019/2019-Collegiate-Club-National-Championships UID:60624-15511453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60624 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Tempe Beach Park, Tempe, Arizona CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190407T120009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T130000 SUMMARY:Other:A team Tournament DESCRIPTION:The A team has a tournament at Northern Illinois University  UID:62654-15511474@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62654 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Northern Illinois University CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190407T060012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T100000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:American Nuclear Society Student Conference DESCRIPTION:NUCLEAR IS ___________________________.#nuclearisThe word “nuclear” likely invokes a few specific mental images to the general public. Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

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

This study presents the first experimental test of coin flipping as a nudge to help resolve choice difficulty in the setting of charity giving. We conduct a field experiment in which potential donors were given the option of coin flipping to determine which of two similarly favourable charities to donate to. We find that the inclusion of the coin flipping option increases the donation rate by 20 percent. Laboratory experiments replicate the observed patterns and shed further light on the underlying psychological mechanism. More generally\, our results point to the power of coin flipping as a nudge when people must make difficult choices.

Empirical evidence has consistently revealed positive associations between having a clearer and more positive ERI and academic\, psychosocial\, and health outcomes (Rivas-Drake et al.\, 2014). Although relations between ERI and these outcomes have been investigated\, little is known about the mechanisms that can explain them.\n\nIn alignment with ecological development frameworks (e.g.\, Bronfenbrenner\, 1989)\, scholars have indicated that friends and school are important to the relation between ERI and adolescent outcomes (Rivas-Drake & Umaña-Taylor\, 2019). It is possible that youth with greater ERI resolution (i.e.\, the sense of clarity about the meaning of one’s ethnic-racial group membership) are likely to have greater social competencies and be friends with greater social competencies\, subsequently youth with greater social competencies and who are in networks of friends with greater social competences are more likely to feel that they belong in their school. The study that will be presented advances new knowledge regarding the role of social competencies as a mediating mechanism in the link between ERI resolution and students' school belonging.\n\nMichael Medina\n\nTitle: What’s in a friend? The role of friend group characteristics on the link \nbetween ethnic-racial identity and academic adjustment.\n\nAbstract:\nAdolescence is a time of significant ethnic-racial identity (ERI) development—the meaning ascribed to one’s ethnic-racial groups and how it is maintained over time. For youth of color\, this process has been found to be developmentally normative and linked to academic outcomes\, such as school belonging. Little is known\, however\, of the extent to which social contexts shape this relationship over time. This presentation examines the role of one such highly salient context\, school friend groups\, which serve as significant sources of socioemotional and academic support throughout adolescence. Projects drawing from two longitudinal school-based studies will be presented that consider the potential role of three distinct friend group characteristics: aggregate ERI beliefs\, ethnic-racial diversity\, and relationship quality. Results indicate a promotive role of particular friend group characteristics\, encouraging the consideration of youth’s developmental contexts in future research on positive ERI development and academic adjustment.

Excessively strong\, weak\, or otherwise improperly organized patterns of synchronous oscillatory activity may contribute to the generation of symptoms of different neurological and psychiatric diseases. However\, neuronal synchrony is frequently not perfect\, but rather exhibits intermittent dynamics. The same synchrony strength may be achieved with markedly different temporal patterns of activity. I will discuss methods to describe these phenomena and will present the application of this analysis to the neurophysiological data in healthy brain\, Parkinson’s disease\, and drug addiction disorders. I will finally discuss potential cellular mechanisms and functional advantages of some of the observed temporal patterning of neural synchrony.\n UID:59064-14677939@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59064 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T141325 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Flint Art Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The Flint Art Exhibition complements the Department of Theatre & Drama's production of Flint. \n\nThe exhibit will contain works from award-winning professional artists as well as art created by Flint youth and community members.

Jets form when a quark or gluon is produced in a scattering process\, and because of confinement\, these quarks and gluons nonperturbatively form a collimated spray of hadrons. While jets are one of the most frequently used objects in physics analyses at RHIC and the LHC\, it was only recently realized that the structure of jets can probe a wide variety of physics at collider facilities. In this talk I will discuss the breadth of physics that can be probed by studying the constituents of jets\, with a focus on recent results from the LHCb experiment. \n UID:62608-15410179@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62608 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with CPS faculty Yuki Shiraito DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shiraito is excited to host a weekly Monday evening hackerspace from January 21 until April 22.

Race and Erasure: A People's History of the \"Normal\" Body DESCRIPTION:This talk explains how in the years after World War II\, science leaders at the US National Institutes of Health set and expanded a second system to supply healthy people for human experiment\, in addition to government-based arrangements to access people with restricted civil liberties. During the early 1950s\, NIH aligned with private organizations from the major institutions of postwar America—religious groups\, labor unions\, universities\, and civic organizations—to sign “procurement contracts” that allowed the organizations to send their healthy members to the NIH to live as “normal control” subjects of science experiments. In the process the US produced the legal possibility—and the living reality—of an enduring\, large-scale civilian market for healthy human subjects. Yet this market for healthy humans had a distinctive feature. Because of the conventions of NIH research space and the demographics of the organizations with which the US government signed contracts\, the Normals had one common trait: they all were White. As a result\, the medical construct of “normalcy\,” though officially race blind\, was organized around White lives\, a legacy that continues to inflect medicine with race-based discrimination and disparities.\n\nBiosketch: Laura Stark is the author of Behind Closed Doors: IRBs and the Making of Ethical Research (Chicago\, 2012)\, and is completing a book project on the lives of “normal control” research subjects at the US National Institutes of Health.

On Marketing and Militarism: Demobilizing Guerrillas and Mobilizing Affect\, Colombia and Propaganda in the Early Twenty-First Century DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the principle arguments in Alexander Fattal’s new book “Guerrilla Marketing: Counterinsurgency and Capitalism in Colombia” (University of Chicago Press\, 2018) about the convergence of marketing and militarism in twenty-first century propaganda. The talk considers the Colombian government’s efforts to engage in a form of ‘brand warfare’ against members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the smaller guerrilla group\, the National Liberation Army (ELN). Since 2007\, the government has been working with the same advertising firm that stewards brands such as Mazda and RedBull in Colombia\, to lure guerrillas out of the insurgency and transform them into consumer citizens. The ethnography critiques those efforts\, pointing to problems that emerge when branding captures critical state functions\, like waging a war. \n \nDr. Alexander L. Fattal is Assistant Professor in the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies at Pennsylvania State University. He is also a documentary artist whose creative and scholarly work focuses on the mediation of the Colombian armed conflict. \n@FattAlx | www.alexfattal.net UID:62831-15477383@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62831 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Latin America,Lecture,Social Sciences LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190315T185932 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T210000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:No COP-Out: The Path HoMe from the U.N.

His formal studies in ceramic art technique were in Turkey. Now Mamandi creates Manna Pottery\, decorative and functional ceramics reproduced from 7th century Mannea Art originals. With hand-painted figures\, patterns\, shapes and colors\, each piece is one-of-a-kind with an ancient\, yet contemporary look achieved by using lead-free\, high-fire oxidation glazes. To describe his relationship to art\, Mamandi quotes Thomas Merton: “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” UID:61746-15179093@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61746 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,Culture,Exhibition,Free,Health & Wellness,visual arts,Well-being LOCATION:Taubman Center - Gifts of Art Gallery - Floor 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190314T132405 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190409T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190409T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Shape-Shifting: Surface & Form in Clay by Darcy R.
