Schneider DESCRIPTION:Barbara J. Schneider’s studio is in the Starline Factory in Harvard\, Illinois. She has an extensive background in surface design\, and she works with cloth\, paint\, dye and thread. The Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi (aesthetic of transience and imperfection) is a strong influence in her work. This collection is a series of stitched textiles that are a reinterpretation of traditional still life paintings. These small\, intimate artworks use vintage Japanese boro fabrics as backgrounds for personal objects that contain a Wabi-Sabi spirit. Schneider teaches and exhibits her work nationally and internationally\, and her work is in both private and public collections.

She teaches drawing\, painting and art history at State University of New York and Southern New Hampshire University. This body of work fuses eastern and western art traditions and techniques\, reflecting her multicultural background. Each art piece has a leaf from the Bodhi Tree in Bodhgaya\, India\, where Buddha sat and achieved enlightenment. Houshmand began this series as an aid to her meditation practices after visiting India and studying traditional Buddhist thangka painting and drawing at a monastic art school in Nepal.

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

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

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728339@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190318T112648 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190409T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190409T114500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:THEMED DROP INS: No Plan\, No Problem DESCRIPTION:Still figuring out your plans for summer?

He is a specialist in comparative political economy and political development\, \n\nIn this lecture Dr. Hanson examines the ways in which\, and the channels through which\, political institutions affect economic performance and human development. In his recent projects\, he has explored whether democracy and state capacity complement or substitute for each other when it comes to improving human development\, why authoritarian regimes vary significantly in economic and social outcomes\, how the spatial distribution of ethnic group populations interacts with political institutions to affect the supply of public services\, and how to measure state capacity. \n\nThis is the eighth in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2018-19.

Dr. Fariss uses computational methods and the statistical program R to study why governments around the world torture\, maim\, and kill individuals within their jurisdiction\, and the processes monitors use to observe and document these abuses. Other research projects cover a broad array of themes but share a focus on computationally intensive methods\, research design\, and the analysis of data at a massive scale. \n\nThis weekly meeting with Dr. Fariss is for those with an interest in the R statistical programming language. Both beginners and experienced users are invited to attend. Dr. Fariss plans to introduce mostly introductory material during these sessions but will also cover Bayesian modeling in R and STAN.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

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.

Dominant males exhibit the brightest chest patches\, suggesting this signal may function as a sexually selected handicap signal to ward off potential male competitors. However\, little is known about the mechanism linking color intensity to male quality or the potential physiological costs to maintaining chest redness. In most systems\, testosterone links signal intensity and the quality of the signaler as testosterone is metabolically costly and prevents low quality males from falsely signaling high quality. Despite a large sample size of chest patch photos and hormone samples\, our research group has been unable to find a link between fecal testosterone levels and chest color in geladas. Here\, I investigate the potential driving mechanisms and associated costs of chest patch coloration in a group of habituated geladas living in the Simien Mountains National Park\, Ethiopia.

Although these efforts have been largely successfully with regard to the Han majority\, the talk argues that from the 1950s to the present day\, territorially concentrated minority groups like the Tibetans and the Uighurs have remained poorly penetrated and thus present a persistent powerful obstacle for the highly sophisticated Chinese surveillance apparatus.

A part of authentic leadership is committing to a purpose that helps us to deepen our impact. Your purpose springs from your identity and is the essence of who you are. To figure out who you are in such a world\, let alone “be nobody but yourself\,” is indeed hard work. This workshop will help you uncover what your ultimate purpose is and learn how to commit to it in times of uncertainty.

Brauer Faculty Fellow Ava Purkiss gives a 30-minute talk followed by Q & A.\n\n In 1959\, black fashion and marketing expert Elsie Archer published Let’s Face It: A Guide to Good Grooming for Negro Girls in which she offered health and beauty advice to young black women. Before suggesting diet plans and exercise programs\, she asked her readers: “How did you get fat anyway?” Archer added that avoiding fatness through diet and exercise would enable young black women to discover their feminine charms\, enhance their appearances\, and achieve a body that will “fit in.” My talk will examine how black women like Archer used nutrition advice\, diet and exercise promotion\, and fat shaming tactics to literally shape the fit black female body in the mid-twentieth century.

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.

For David Clement Scott\, the most visionary amongst them\, Rhodes epitomised the wrong turn that race relations would take when the territory was declared a Protectorate in 1891. Scott’s vision was of an Africa in which different races worked for the common good – “not side by side but as one”. From language learning to land tenure\, the approach he advocated was no idealism detached from practical initiatives. It involved as much status reversal between white and black as it did hierarchical forbearance. By attending to some of Scott’s short-lived innovations\, I ask whether the intervening century has made such decolonial thought all but impossible to comprehend in its own terms. What is the prospect of recovering de-racialized humanity\, even if in a Christian key\, as the critical concept in decolonial thought?

Dr. Barense has been trained in animal neuroscience\, human neuropsychology\, fMRI\, and cognitive psychology and enjoys bringing these approaches together to study the neural underpinnings of memory.\n\nPresentation Title: Understanding memory disorders: At the level of cognitive process representational content?\n\nAbstract: \n\nHow does perception of an object relate to subsequent memory for that object? A central assumption in most modern theories of memory is that memory and perception are functionally and anatomically segregated. For example\, amnesia resulting from medial temporal lobe (MTL) lesions is traditionally considered to be a selective deficit in long-term declarative memory with no effect on perceptual processes. This view is consistent with a popular paradigm in cognitive neuroscience\, in which the brain is understood in terms of a modular organization of function based on cognitive process. The work I will present offers a new perspective. Guided by computational modelling complemented with neuropsychology and neuroimaging\, I will provide support for the notion that memory and perception are inextricably intertwined throughout the MTL\, relying on shared neural representations and computational mechanisms. I will then describe how this new framework can improve basic understanding of cognitive impairments observed in Alzheimer’s disease\, as well as guide development of new diagnostic procedures for those at risk for dementia.

These factors present\nutilities with the urban water cycle trilemma: investing capital to maintain or expand infrastructure\, doing business as usual to maintain its level of service\, and doing all this affordably.\nThis talk will show how utilities are using machine learning and internet of things to solve the urban water cycle trilemma by disrupting the status quo. Data intensive solutions are being used to adapt water infrastructure in real time to provide citizens with higher levels of service while reducing energy and chemical consumption in treatment plants\, reducing storm related flooding and overflows\, and increasing drinking water quality.\n\nLuis is the CTO and President of EmNet. Luis founded EmNet to study and develop solutions to optimize the operation of complex wastewater collection systems. EmNet’s Real Time Decision Support System technology helps utilities maximize the use of existing and future infrastructure to reduce combined sewer overflows volumes and frequencies.

With immigrant agency at the center of its analysis\, this book asks why foreign residents make the political choices they do as they become permanent members of their receiving societies. Based on over 150 in-depth interviews with immigrants\, pro-immigrant activists\, and government officials and 28 focus groups with the major foreign resident groups in each country conducted in the greater Tokyo\, Seoul\, and Taipei metropolitan areas from 2009 to 2013\, this book prioritizes the role played by civil society actors—including migrants themselves—in giving voice to migrant interests\, mobilizing migrant actors\, and shaping public debate and policy on immigration. Departing from the dominant scholarship on immigrant incorporation that focuses on national cultures or traditions\, domestic political elites\, and international norms\, I argue that civil society actors drew on existing ideas\, networks\, and strategies previously applied to incorporate historically marginalized groups\, or what I call civic legacies\, to confront the challenges of immigrant incorporation. Rather than determining the paths available to later generations\, civic legacies form the opportunities and constraints that demarcate the rules of the game for migrant claims making\, thus framing the direction of immigrant incorporation\, the level of penetration in society\, and the potential for structural reform. As the first English-language book comparing three countries that represent a single model of immigrant incorporation in East Asia\, Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies proposes to shed insights into the gaps between policy intent\, interpretation\, and outcomes. \n \nErin Aeran Chung is the Charles D.

The interaction between humans and animals can affect the environment\, and vice versa. In the ancient Egyptian Nile Valley\, in addition to providing food\, transportation\, raw materials\, companionship and entertainment\, animals played a key role in religion. As such\, they inspired divine iconography and language\, and served both as manifestations as well as offerings to gods. Ultimately\, in the twilight of Egypt’s pharaonic history\, animals played a part in defining cultural identity and world-view. This talk will focus on a critical locus of this agency: animal mummies in ancient Egypt\, and what they tell us not only about Egyptian culture\, economy\, and human-animal relationships\, but also about Egypt’s changing environment.\n\nSalima Ikram is Distinguished University Professor of Egyptology at The American University in Cairo\, and has worked as an archaeologist in Turkey\, Sudan\, Greece and the United States.

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.

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

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

How the West Corrupts the East: Swedish Bribes and Uzbek Dictators DESCRIPTION:With a world record fine and the CEO now on trial in Sweden\, Europe’s fifth largest telecommunications provider\, Telia Company AB\, is slowly getting out from an expensive and morally corrupt endeavor in Uzbekistan. Award-winning Swedish journalist and 2019 Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan Fredrik Laurin presents Swedish Public Service TV’s exposure of international corruption. The lecture will address the effects of corruption in Central Asia and the role of U.S. legislation as the only working law against corruption.\n\nFredrik Laurin is editor of special projects for Swedish Television’s (SVT’s) Current Affairs program. Before this he was editor of the investigative department for Swedish Radio\, a reporter for SVT\, and investigative reporter for National TV 4. Laurin’s investigations exposed tax havens and tax evasion by the global corporate elite and corruption in the Swedish government and abroad. One such investigation exposed how purportedly alliance-free Sweden secretly cooperates with U.S. authorities in eavesdropping\, intelligence gathering\, extraordinary rendition\, and torture in the war on terror. He has received the Stora Journalistpriset\, the Swedish equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize\, and Guldspaden\, the Swedish Investigative Reporters and Editors award. He has received several other awards for his work\, including the Pulitzer Prize for his collaborative efforts on the Panama Papers with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Laurin graduated from the Gothenburg School of Journalism and studied political science at Gothenburg University. Currently he is a Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

However\, in many countries\, including the United States\, the civil infrastructure is no longer within desired levels of performance. Decisions resilence- and sustainability regarding infrastructure systems should be supported by an integrated risky-based life-cycle multi-objective optimization framework by considering\, among other factors\, the likelihood of successful performance and the total expected cost accrued over the entire life-cycle. The primary objective of this lecture is to present a framework for risk-\, resilience- and sustainability-informed decision making for structural systems and networks in a life-cycle multi-objective optimization context. Risk-based performance metrics allow engineers to combine the probability of structural failure with the consequences corresponding to this event. The sustainability performance metric is established considering the risks associated with economic\, social\, and environmental impacts\, utility theory\, and the decision maker’s risk attitude. Applications include time-variant reliability\, risk\, resilience\, and sustainability of bridges\, bridge transportation networks\, and interdependent infrastructure systems under multi-hazards.

While these courses make up a significant portion of students’ engineering education\, they have received less research focus than design courses. In this talk we will present the beginnings of a framework capturing two overarching research questions: What should students learn in engineering science courses? And How should students learn in engineering science courses? We will then present two current research studies that each address these two questions. In the first we will describe the development of a coding scheme to characterize the degree to which instructors facilitate student sense-making in class and demonstrate how it is applied to question-initiated dialogue in two courses. In the second we will examine how students in one engineering science course solved and evaluated their answers for open-ended mathematical modeling problems.

Baer Lecture | The Neutron Lifetime Puzzle DESCRIPTION:Neutrons make up half of all matter but become unstable when freed from the nucleus. The precise value of the neutron lifetime plays an important role in nuclear and particle physics and cosmology. Professor Liu will describe the latest measurement\, which traps neutrons by levitating neutrons with a large array of permanent magnets. The lifetime measured this way appears different than that measured with a beam of neutrons leading some to conjecture their disappearance into an undetectable state.

In this lecture\, he discusses shared use and communally owned resources known as the poromoboke and the blatant encroachment on the poromboke for building construction and garbage dumping. \n\nPoromboke is a Tamil word meaning shared-use and communally owned resources like bodies of water\, seashores and grazing lands. Today\, it has a negative connotation and is used to describe worthless people or places. This erosion in meaning is the result of a property-making agenda of the state that views open\, unbuilt and unbuildable spaces as wasteland. But poromboke commons are layered with multiple land uses\, cultures and economies. Far from being worthless\, poromboke spaces are the backbone of any economy\, and the basis for the planet's resilience. India is witnessing a wave of protests against land acquisition for infrastructure projects that prioritize built infrastructure over unbuilt and open spaces. Surviving climate change is a fight to prevent degrading land-use change\, and the re-orienting of values. The task then is a cultural one—of revalorizing the poromboke and changing our notions of value and worth with respect to places\, economies\, cultures and peoples.

This will take place in and around a 6.5 feet radius circle drawn on the floor of the library. Detroit Jit is an under-documented dance style invented in the 70’s in Detroit by the McGhee brothers. This dance form is one of the most unique aspects of cultural heritage to come from the Motor City. It is however little known outside Detroit and is not as elaborately documented and archived as other parts of the history that center on the negative. The living bodies of current Jit dancers are among the few archives we have of this dance form. The dance is a fast-paced lower body movement and is an original Detroit dance style developed around the same time with B-Boying and break dancing from New York and also the Chicago dance style. Detroit Jit however did not spread much outside the city of Detroit. Today it remains a unique aspect of Detroit resistance culture and its slowly growing in recognition. It is one of the many ways that reveal the human body(in this particular case the African American) as repository and a dynamic living archive of stories and histories that exist in less glorious ways in text-bound confines. Presenting Jit in real time is a specific way to interrogate the texto-centric complex on which most Western libraries construct a hierarchy of knowledge(s). Most current Institutions of knowledge still struggle with a colonial ethnographic\, script centered library model .This model is in danger of slowly fading into museum like insignificance. Using a particular type of a performing body to complement and challenge text is one way to ignite dialogue concerning the future of information presentation and the place of the somatic medium.”\n\nThis performance is presented as part of the exhibition Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library.

Professor Warneken concludes with some thoughts on how the study of psychological mechanism can explain similarities and differences in the cooperation of humans and other great apes.\n\nSpeaker bio: Professor Felix Warneken studies the origins of human social behavior\, with a focus on the development and evolution of cooperation and morality. He uses developmental and cross-cultural studies with children\, as well as comparative studies with nonhuman apes.

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.

Martin is a Professor and Chair of Sociology at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. She has published extensively on gender\, sexuality\, and childhood in everyday life. Her research has appeared in many outlets including American Sociological Review\, Gender & Society\, Child Abuse & Neglect\, and Journal of Family Issues. She is author of Puberty\, Sexuality\, and the Self: Girls and Boys at Adolescence (Routledge\, 1996).\n\nSince the feminist movements of the 1970s\, has childhood become more gender equal? We have seen enormous social changes with respect to gender in educational attainment\, in the work- place\, in politics\, and in some aspects of marriage over the last 50 years. But what about early childhood? Do boys and girls have the same experiences and opportunities in childhood? Research suggests somewhat of a mixed picture\, with some changes\, some stalls\, and some regression.\n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is Changing Gender Roles. The next lecture will be April 18\, 2019. The title is: Changing Gender Economic Roles.

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

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

All voices and views are welcome and lunch will be provided!\n\nRSVP here: http://myumi.ch/LzEYO\n\nThe #MeToo movement has highlighted issues of sexual misconduct across the globe since going viral in October 2017. Initially centered around sexual misconduct in the workplace\, the movement has since allowed survivors of sexual harassment and assault to speak about their experiences in broader contexts. The hashtag has reached the entertainment industry\, higher education\, politics\, and more as people like Aziz Ansari\, Matt Lauer\, Kevin Spacey\, Bill Cosby\, Larry Nassar\, and Brett Kavanaugh have their reputations called into question. Some remain unscathed after public scrutiny while others lose their jobs or are sentenced to prison time.\n\nHave we seen true change in sexual misconduct policy since the hashtag began? Does the #MeToo movement violate the American value of \"innocent until proven guilty?\" Can allegations of sexual misconduct be managed by the court of public opinion or should all consequences be withheld until a trial has taken place?\n\nJoin us at this WeListen Staff Discussion to learn about the #MeToo movement and to participate in small group discussions about this complex topic. Our aim is to bring liberals\, conservatives\, libertarians- everyone across the political spectrum- together for constructive conversation. The goal of WeListen discussions is not to debate or argue\, but to understand the views and values of others and to learn from their perspectives. The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions.\n\n\nBy participating in WeListen sessions\, staff members will:\n- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic\n- Practice discussing difficult topics with others\,\n- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives\,\n- Learn to productively challenge an idea\, and\n- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.\n\nQuestions? Email us at welistenstaff@umich.edu. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the UM Office of DEI and the LSA DEI Implementation Leads.

Deal for the Digital Age DESCRIPTION:American historians debate whether Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Depression-era legislation was\, in fact\, a New Deal\, or perhaps an “Old Deal” or a “Raw Deal.” Considering multiple perspectives and voices\, combined with the long sweep of history\, stokes this lively\, ongoing debate. In this CRITICAL x DESIGN talk\, Rankin turns her attention to American computing in the 1960s and 1970s to consider whether the academic networks of that era may be inspiration for a Digital New Deal. \n\nThe users of 1960s and 1970s academic computing networks built\, accessed\, and participated in cooperative digital commons\, developing now-quotidian practices of personal computing and social media. In the process\, they became what she calls “computing citizens.” She uses several case studies to illustrate the dynamic - and unexpected - relationships among gender\, community\, computing\, and citizenship\, including the Old Deals and the Raw Deals of computing citizenship. How might these computing citizens inform crucial contemporary debates about technology and justice?\n\nAbout the speaker\nDr. Joy Lisi Rankin is a feministi\, anti-racist historian\, and a Contributing Editor for Lady Science. She is also a consultant for the documentaries The Birth of BASIC and The Queen of Code and for the television show Girls Code. Rankin was an Exchange Scholar at MIT while earning her doctorate in History from Yale University\, as well as a Visiting Scholar at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Prior to entering the academy\, she had a successful career launching educational programs for students of all ages\, which took her around the country.

However\, a related phenomenon\, male-mediated prenatal loss\, has received considerably less attention. Male-mediated prenatal loss occurs when inseminated or pregnant females terminate reproductive effort following exposure to a non-sire male\, either through implantation failure or pregnancy termination. Male-mediated prenatal loss encompasses two sub-phenomena: sexually selected feticide and the Bruce effect. In this talk\, I will walk through three different evolutionary scenarios in three species of primate - the yellow baboon\, the gelada\, and the chacma baboon - to lay out a framework that explains the relationship between infanticide\, feticide\, and the Bruce effect and describes the proximate and ultimate mechanisms involved for each. I argue that male-mediated prenatal loss may have played a greater role in mammalian social evolution than has previously been documented.

Yet\, this type of severely maladaptive behavior are also well-known and studied in the field of human psychology\, clinical medicine and education. Sociologists\, too\, have demonstrated that group behaviors in the context of resource management can have major costs for individuals\, possibly at the level of entire societies and in ways that can lead to their collapse. I bring together concepts and case studies from these diverse topical areas under the conceptual framework of evolutionary traps to discuss its efficacy and utility in describing\, and addressing the causes of human maladaptive behavior.

The limited adoption of machine learning in healthcare to date points to the fact that there remain important challenges. In this talk\, I will highlight two key challenges related to applying machine learning in healthcare: i) interpretability and ii) small sample size. First\, machine learning has often been criticized for producing ‘black boxes.’ In this talk\, I will argue that interpretability is neither necessary nor sufficient\, demonstrating that even interpretable models can lack common sense. To address this issue\, we propose a novel regularization method that enables the incorporation of domain knowledge during model training\, leading to increased robustness. Second\, machine learning techniques benefit from large amounts of data. However\, oftentimes in healthcare we find ourselves in data poor settings (i.e.\, small sample sizes). I will show how domain knowledge can help guide architecture choices and efficiently make use of available data. In summary\, there’s a critical need for machine learning in healthcare\; however\, the safe and meaningful adoption of these techniques requires close collaboration in interdisciplinary teams.\n\nBio: \nJenna Wiens is a Morris Wellman Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
