It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988493@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T181705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200211T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200211T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cullen Washington\, Jr.: The Public Square DESCRIPTION:This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington\, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series\, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-16390966@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200109T093253 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200211T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200211T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium: The relationship between early life experiences\, health\, and reproductive outcomes in wild savannah baboons DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Many studies have found that experiencing early life adversity (social and environmental stressors such as low socioeconomic status\, inadequate nutrition\, abuse and neglect\, etc.) leads to poor health and/or impaired social function later in life. This is true in a remarkably wide variety of taxa\, which raises questions about how early experiences ‘embed’ themselves in the body\, as well as whether the adaptive tradeoffs organisms make when dealing with early adversity are primarily driven by short-term or long-term payoffs. Wild savannah baboons\, like humans\, can face a variety of social and ecological hardships when they are young. These experiences can lead to vastly shortened lifespans\, but we do not yet understand the mechanisms by which this occurs. In this talk\, I will present new data on the relationships among early adversity\, adult social bonds\, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function in a population of wild baboons in Amboseli\, Kenya\, which has been studied since the 1970s. I will also discuss ongoing research on competing hypotheses that seek to explain the relationship between early social environments and reproductive outcomes. Longitudinal data from this close human relative provide valuable insights into the biological bases of connections between early experience and adult outcomes in our own species.

This presentation will describe some of the research that has been conducted within the PHOEBE Laboratory\, including the BEAP (Built Environment and Active Play)\, PEAT (Physical Environment and Active Transportation)\, and PLIGHT (Purple Line Impact on Neighborhood\, Health and Transit) Studies. Highlights and findings from the BEAP and PEAT Studies on youth physical activity\, sedentary behavior\, and active transportation will be discussed. In addition\, an introductory overview of the PLIGHT Study\, a natural experiment examining the health impacts of the forthcoming Purple Line light rail line in the Washington\, DC\, metropolitan area\, will be presented.\n\nLunch will be provided for those who register by February 7.\n\nBio:\nJennifer D. Roberts is an Assistant Professor of Kinesiology at the University of Maryland School of Public Health. She is also the Director of the Public Health Outcomes and Effects of the Built Environment (PHOEBE) Laboratory. Her research interests focus on the relationship between the built environment and physical activity in addition to its impact on obesity and other public health outcomes. More specifically\, much of her research has explored the dynamic relationship between environmental\, social and cultural determinants of physical activity and using empirical evidence of this relationship to infer complex health outcome patterns and disparities among adults and children.\n\nPHOEBE Laboratory research\, such as the Built Environment and Active Play (BEAP) and Physical Environment and Active Transportation (PEAT) Studies\, have incorporated state of the art techniques including spatial analysis and geographic information system modeling in order to objectively capture the role and relationship of physical activity determinants. While relying heavily on mixed methodology\, crosscutting health issues\, along with exposure (e.g.\, transit deserts) and outcome (e.g.\, obesity) disparities\, have also been addressed in her physical activity and public health research program. Dr. Roberts currently leads the Purple Line Light Rail Impact on Neighborhood\, Health and Transit (PLIGHT) Study\, to investigate changes in light rail use\, active transportation\, overall physical activity\, obesity\, and obesity-related cardiovascular risks among Prince George’s County\, Maryland\, adults. The PLIGHT Study will also explore how contextual effects (e.g.\, built environment\; “sense of community”) moderate these health outcome changes with the intended 2022 introduction of this new 16.2-mile light rail line.\n\nDr. Roberts was awarded a JPB Environmental Health Fellowship by Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. This three-year fellowship will support her forthcoming research\, Gauging Effects of Neighborhood Trends and Sickness (GENTS) Study: Examining the Perception of Transit-Induced Gentrification in Prince George’s County. GENTS will examine the risk of transit-induced gentrification and the associated health effects (e.g.\, anxiety) as related to the aforementioned Purple Line light rail. While the introduction of light rail in communities often encourages physical activity by way of active transportation\, gentrification is often an unintended consequence and socioeconomic by-product of transit-oriented development.\n\nDr. Roberts received her Bachelor of Arts (AB) degree from Brown University. She holds a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree from Emory University Rollins School of Public Health and earned her Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) degree from Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health.\n\n\n\nThe U-M Precision Health Seminar Series invites expert speakers to share meaningful\, relevant\, and late-breaking research on varied aspects of precision health. The interdisciplinary educational series\, which takes place monthly during the academic year\, features topics ranging from genetics to big data to health implementation (and much more) and is open to students\, faculty\, practitioners\, staff\, trainees\, and the general public. Our goal is to increase understanding of precision health data\, tools\, and applications\, to engage the academic community to enhance precision health research\, and to support the implementation of precision health to health systems.

Beginning by articulating the concept of “signs of disability”—a means of making disability available for perception using a variety of embodied\, environmental\, and discursive practices—this talk moves through some of the experiences and encounters that disabled faculty have shared in research interviews\, published accounts\, and surveys. What such accounts reveal is that the emergence of disability and concomitant development of access and accommodation practices is part of a dynamic interrelationship between institutional cultures\, environments for disability\, and various ways that disability is available for noticing (or not-noticing) within faculty bodies and practices. The talk will conclude with some next-steps and questions for those interested and invested in creating more broadly inclusive academic environments for all members of the campus community\, including faculty.

Like the latter two oxygenases\, the transfer of two electrons from NADH to the RO metal centers is required for reaction. Oxygen activation and insertion into substrates occurs at the mononuclear Fe(II) center\, but one electron transfer from the reduced Rieske cluster is required at some point during the reaction cycle to observe product formation. The involvement of 2 electrons and oxygen at the mononuclear Fe suggests that at least three different types of reactive oxygen intermediates can be envisioned: (1) stepwise electron transfer with intermediate formation of a reactive Fe(III)-superoxo species\, (2) two electron transfer to oxygen to form an Fe(III)-peroxo species\, or (3) O-O bond cleavage of the peroxo-intermediate to form a high-valent reactive species. Ongoing biochemical and chemical biomimetic studies suggest that all three reactive oxygen species may be represented within the RO family despite nearly identical metal environments. Indeed\, when presented with different substrates\, a single RO enzyme may adopt two or more of these strategies depending on the relative ease of substrate oxidation versus the rate of electron transfer between metal centers \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJohn Lipscomb (University of Minnesota) UID:65210-16549472@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65210 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200121T092942 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200211T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200211T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cooking Around the Great Lakes DESCRIPTION:Strawberry shortcake\, Chili Mac\, and buttered parsnips: for these and many other delights from the Great Lakes region\, visit the Special Collections Research Center.

What if Adolf Hitler had been assassinated in 1939? What if a Jewish state had been established in Uganda instead of Palestine? In his talk\, Gavriel D. Rosenfeld discusses how these and other counterfactual questions would have affected the course of Jewish history. Drawing on his edited volume\, \"What Ifs of Jewish History\" (2016)\, he discusses why Jewish historians were historically slow to adopt the increasingly popular methodology of counterfactual reasoning in their work\, and how they have finally begun to do so in recent years. He concludes with some reflections on the merits of speculating about how the course of Jewish history might have been different.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

They lived in private houses in Trenton\, marched up Broadway in New York\, and came to blows with colonists in Boston. What was it like to live in this world?\n\nDrawing on his new book \"Quarters: The Accommodation of the British Army and the Coming of the American Revolution\" (which he largely researched at the Clements Library)\, John McCurdy explains how the colonists made room for redcoats by reimagining places like home\, city\, and empire. They insisted on a right to privacy in their houses and civilian control of troops stationed in their cities\, both of which they achieved through the Quartering Act. McCurdy also explores how protests by the Sons of Liberty and events like the Boston Massacre caused the civilian-martial comity to unravel such that Americans ultimately declared the “quartering of large bodies of armed troops among us” to be a reason for independence. \n\nThis lecture is presented in collaboration with the U-M Eisenberg Institute\, which supported McCurdy's work on this book through a Residency Research Grant. John G. McCurdy is Professor of History and Philosophy at Eastern Michigan University.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

The landscape shrines in this exhibit combine her work as an environmental artist with the experience of that pristine\, remote\, beautiful\, and at risk environment. The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting\, monotype\, photography\, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change. Meant to bring complex ideas and big emotions into a size one can literally hold in one’s hands\, the works have charred exteriors and bright colors and metal leaf echoing traditional Tibetan iconography in depicting the beauty and spiritual power of high places. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Yes\, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I\, unfortunately\, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”\n\nValery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation\, Florida\, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, Lagos\, Bilbao\, and Melbourne.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft.

She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts.

As one of the largest subsets of biosensors\, biomolecular sensors are specifically developed and programmed to detect\, quantify and analyze biomolecules in liquid samples.\n \nWide-ranging applications have made immunoassays increasingly popular for biomolecular detection and quantification. Among these\, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are of particular interest due to high specificity and reproducibility. To some extent\, ELISA has been regarded as a “gold standard” for quantifying analytes (especially protein analytes) in both clinical diagnostics and fundamental biological research. However\, traditional (96-well plate-based) ELISA still suffers from several notable drawbacks\, such as long assay time (4–6 hours)\, lengthy procedures\, and large sample/reagent consumption (∼100 μL). These inherent disadvantages still significantly limit traditional ELISA's applicability to areas such as rapid clinical diagnosis of acute diseases (e.g.\, viral pneumonia\, acute organ rejection)\, and biological research that requires accurate measurements with precious or low abundance samples (e.g.\, tail vein serum from a mouse). Thus\, a bimolecular sensing technology that has high sensitivity\, short assay time\, and small sample/reagent consumption is still strongly desired.\n \nIn this dissertation\, we introduce the development of a multifunctional and automated optofluidic biosensing platform that can resolve the aforementioned problems. In contrast to conventional plate-based ELISA\, our optofluidic ELISA platform utilizes mass-producible polystyrene microfluidic channels with a high surface-to-volume ratio as the immunoassay reactors\, which greatly shortens the total assay time. We also developed a low-noise signal amplification protocol and an optical signal quantification system that was optimized for the optofluidic ELISA platform.\n \nOur optofluidic ELISA platform provides several attractive features such as small sample/reagent consumption (<8 µL)\, short total assay time (30-45 min)\, high sensitivity (~1 pg/mL for most markers)\, and a broad dynamic range (3-4 orders of magnitude). Using these features\, we successfully quantified mouse FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) concentration with a single drop of tail vein serum. We also successfully monitored bladder cancer progression in orthotopic xenografted mice with only <50 µL of mouse urine. More excitingly\, we achieved highly-sensitive exosome quantification and multiplexed immuno-profiling with <40 ng/mL of total input protein (per assay). These remarkable milestones could not be achieved with conventional plate-based ELISA but were enabled by our unique optofluidic ELISA. \n \nAs an emerging member of the bimolecular sensor family\, our optofluidic ELISA platform provides a high-performance and cost-effective tool for a plethora of applications\, including endocrinal\, cancer animal model\, cellular biology\, and even forensic science research. In the future\, this technology platform can also be renovated for clinical applications such as personalized cancer diagnosis/prognosis and rapid point-of-care diagnostics for infectious diseases.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

Terroir\, Ecological Stewardship\, and Heritage Politics in the Bulgarian Wine Industry DESCRIPTION:Bulgaria is arguably one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world\, and built a large\, highly industrialized and export-oriented wine sector during state socialism as a wine-producing specialist of COMECON (the economic alliance of Soviet allies). When socialism collapsed in 1989\, the wine industry faced multiple challenges\, including the accepted international hierarchy of wine-producing countries through which Bulgarian wines then became understood and marketed. In this talk\, I examine the contestations over the idea of *terroir* (a taste of place) among Bulgarian wine professionals to understand how wine is involved in heritage projects. As new resources and opportunities became available through EU heritage politics in which wine traditions became a central piece of the heritage industry and of agricultural and rural development\, these debates highlight diverse meanings of ecological stewardship in light of heritage preservation. Understanding wine as a cultural heritage raises important questions of whose and which past is worthy of preservation\, and why. The tensions within the Bulgarian wine industry\, namely reconciling the cultural pride of winemaking heritage with a competitive hierarchical global wine market\, illustrate the multi-faceted aspects of culture\, ecology\, and politics in the era of post-Cold War globalization.\n \nYuson Jung is associate professor of anthropology at Wayne State University. Her research explores issues of consumption\, food politics\, globalization\, and postsocialism. She is the author of \"Balkan Blues: Consumer Politics after State Socialism\" (Indiana University Press\, 2019) which examines everyday consumer experience in postsocialist Bulgaria. She has also co-edited (with Jakob Klein and Melissa Caldwell) \"Ethical Eating in the Postsocialist and Socialist World\" (University of California Press\, 2014). Currently\, she is working on a book project entitled \"The Cultural Politics of Wine: Globalization\, Heritage\, and the Transformation of the Bulgarian Wine Industry\,\" as well as on a collaborative research project (with Andrew Newman) regarding food politics and urban governance in Detroit.\n\nThis lecture is part of the WCEE environment series.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

I will show how the attractive self-interactions of dark matter (DM) axions over a broad range of masses\, from 10^−22 eV to 10^7 GeV\, can lead to nongravitational growth of density fluctuations and the formation of bound objects. This structure formation enhancement is driven by parametric resonance when the initial field misalignment is large\, and it affects axion density perturbations on length scales of order the Hubble horizon when the axion field starts oscillating\, deep inside the radiation-dominated era. This effect can turn an otherwise nearly scale-invariant spectrum of adiabatic perturbations into one that has a spike at the aforementioned scales\, producing objects ranging from dense DM halos to scalar-field configurations such as solitons and oscillons. This \"large-misalignment mechanism\" leads to various observational consequences in gravitational lensing and interactions\, baryonic structures and star formation\, direct detection (including for the QCD axion)\, and stochastic gravitational waves.

To address the endogeneity between firms' lobbying expenditure and their size\, we propose a new instrument. Specifically\, we measure firms' political connections based on the geographic proximity between their headquarter locations and politicians' districts in the U.S.\, and trace the value of these networks over time by exploiting politicians' assignment to congressional committees. We find that a 10 percent increase in lobbying expenditure leads to a 3 percent gain in revenue. To investigate the macroeconomic consequences of these effects\, we develop a heterogeneous firm-level model with endogenous lobbying. Using a novel dataset that we construct\, we document new stylized facts about lobbying behavior and use them\, including the one from the instrument\, to estimate the model. Our counterfactual analysis shows that the return to firms' lobbying activities amounts to a 22 percent decrease in aggregate productivity in the U.S.\n\nIn Song Kim's research interests include International Political Economy\, Formal and Quantitative Methodology. \n\nThe goal of the Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Methods is to provide an interdisciplinary environment where researchers can present and discuss cutting-edge research in quantitative methodology.

Cities in countries with well developed economies like the U.S. enjoy economic prosperity in part due to the development of heavily centralized water systems that create high levels of water quality and public health\, on average. While centralized water infrastructure has served us well\, I argue that we should not be constrained to applying 20th century thinking as we plan for the future. The current revolution in information technologies (IT: software\, hardware and devices) has the potential to transform urban water infrastructure by creating more resilient and flexible hybrid systems comprised of an interacting collection of centralized and decentralized physical IT systems. I contend that the development of IT-enabled “smart” hybrid water system solutions has the potential to: improve the efficiency with which we use resources (e.g.\, water\, power\,\nnutrients)\; enhance equitable access to water services\; change consumer and provider behavior around water\; and ensure that we sustain a high level of public health\, even as more people live in close proximity to each other. In this talk and through the use of case studies from across different regions around the globe\, I will explore these scenarios and the changing ways in which people live. As an example\, one case study will include the development of “smart” distributed nutrient recovery systems that have been deployed and are being tested at the University of Michigan.\n\nNancy Love is the Borchardt and Glysson Collegiate Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan.

This demographic shift highlights the increasing importance of fully explaining the mechanisms that drive changes in outcomes relevant to older adults. Merging evolutionary perspectives on fundamental social motivations with current aging research\, we propose a framework for understanding cognitive and behavioral outcomes in older adults from an ultimate\, threat-based perspective. Using publically available secondary IAT data from Project Implicit (N = 552\,288)\, we present a disease-specific test case for our framework. Preliminary results reveal flexible\, specific responses to different disease-relevant targets across the lifespan that may be tied to age-dependent threats.\n\nNadia Vossoughi:\n\nTitle: Witnessing microaggressions in an engineering context harms learning and participation.\n\nAbstract: Experiencing microaggressions—defined as subtle verbal\, behavioral\, or environmental slights directed towards someone due to their social category (Sue\, 2010)—impedes academic success among marginalized students in science and engineering (e.g.\, Moss-Racusin et al.\, 2018\; Adams et al.\, 2006). Most research examining the consequences of microaggressions has focused on directly experiencing microaggressions\, but we propose that just witnessing microaggressions may create a negative environment that also impedes academic success. Using an experimental design\, we showed undergraduate science and engineering students (n=208) video footage of a mixed gender group working on a design project that participants believed they would later join. From the video footage participants either witnessed subtle bias directed at a woman by a man (microaggression condition) or subtle bias did not occur in the interactions (control condition). We find that just witnessing microaggressions leads to lower memory retention of engineering material\, and decreased desire to join their group (ps<.05). The negative effect of witnessing microaggressions was present for both men and women and remained significant after controlling for confidence in one’s engineering abilities and rejection sensitivity. Results indicate that the presence of microaggressions contributes to a negative environment that is detrimental to everyone’s academic learning and participation.

A SIG brings people together who have a common interest that they wish to pursue indefinitely within a structure of meetings and activities designed primarily by the members of the group. \n\nA SIG does not have a formal class syllabus. Members of a SIG determine the content and discussion of a SIG. A designated facilitator arranges meetings\, takes attendance\, and initiates the discussion among the SIG members on how the group will operate. \n\n\nThe Mystery Book Club is all about mysteries. Mysteries are the only genre of literature where an author offers readers a chance to figure out the story for themselves. We all love identifying the villain before he or she’s revealed. But some authors do this better than others. \n\nOur book club is unique in that we seek out authors who are not really in the public eye and then critique their ability to do just that\, i.e. spin a tale that keeps the reader engrossed right up to the last page. We do have a long list of authors that our members have expressed an interest in reading. Each month we pick a different author from that list. Everyone is then free to read any number of this author’s works that they choose and submit their evaluation to the group at our meeting. \n\nOpinions given are quite honest\, always enlightening\, and the resulting discussions are always lively. Each person’s review of the author ends by answering the question: “Would you recommend this author to a friend?” \n\nThis Shared Interest will be facilitated by Sydney Kaufman and will meet the second Wednesday of every month.

Dashboard displays are seen as powerful metacognitive tools\, and delivering them to learners is intended to support awareness and decision-making\, and trigger self-reflection. Despite their increasing availability\, recent meta-reviews of the existing research on LADs have revealed that there are few empirical studies on the impact of dashboards on student motivation\, behavior\, and skills. In this talk I will present the student dashboard we have designed and tested here at the University at Michigan\, called MyLA (My Learning Analytics). In a partnership between the School of Information\, School of Education\, and the Teaching and Learning group at ITS\, we have created a Canvas-integrated dashboard that uses design principles derived from Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) theory combined with a focus on accessible and actionable information. Based data from 10 Winter 2019 courses where MyLA was available\, I will describe our early findings about how UM students have used the dashboard\, and the relationships between dashboard use with performance and measures of self-regulation. \n\nBio: Dr. Teasley is a Research Professor in the School of Information\, the Director of the Learning Education & Design Lab (LED Lab)\, and Core Faculty member of the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) at the University of Michigan. Her recent work has focused on assembling and utilizing institutionally-held student data to design and evaluate new ways to support student success in Higher Education. From 2016-2018 she was the president of the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR)\, and she is currently the chair of the International Alliance for the Advancement of Learning in the Digital Era (IAALDE).

The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\nThe workshop will run from February 5 to April 15\, 2020. Participants meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. There will be no meeting on March 4. \nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll UID:71150-17783449@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71150 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English As A Second Language,Graduate,International,Language,Speech Language Pathology,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Workshop LOCATION:V.

Whereas Barack Obama self-consciously presented himself as a candidate who just happened to be black\, and generally ran away from the topic\, we are now witnessing the startling spectacle of mainstream Democratic candidates vying to be the most progressive on issues of race. Indeed\, large percentages of white liberals now endorse a structural analysis of racial domination. For those of us old enough to remember the evasions of past electoral campaigns\, and the hegemony in the Obama years of norms of “post-raciality” and “color-blindness\,” it is a welcome and remarkable change\, one doubtless attributable to multiple factors\, from the activism of “Black Lives Matter!” on the one hand to the ominous rise of white nationalism and the alt-right on the other.\n\nBut what does philosophy have to say on this issue? After all\, philosophers in the Western tradition like to think of themselves as the go-to guys on matters of justice\, in a history that (supposedly) stretches 2500 years all the way back to ancient Greece. And since its revival half a century ago by John Rawls’s 1971 A Theory of Justice\, mainstream Anglo-American liberal political philosophy has expressly taken social justice as its central theme. Where better to seek guidance on the subject of racial justice\, then\, than in the work of political philosophers\, especially American political philosophers\, citizens of what has historically been a white supremacist state? \n\nAlas\, any such expectations would be sadly disappointed. “White” political philosophy and “white” liberalism\, including Rawls and Rawlsianism\, have generally been part of the problem rather than part of the solution. In this lecture\, I will offer some thoughts and diagnoses on the causes of this troubling history\, and some suggestions for the development of a new liberalism\, one that recognizes its historic role in the creation and consolidation of white supremacy\, and is committed\, unlike currently hegemonic varieties of liberalism\, to ending it.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

During the second half of the twentieth century\, unfavorable portrayals of Jews appeared in a period of time marked by turmoil and conflict between Egypt and the nascent state of Israel. Representations of Jews in contemporary Egyptian literary works\, however\, mark a shift from portrayals influenced by the Arab-Israeli conflict which internalized negative Jewish stereotypes. Twenty-first century novelistic productions\, however\, invoked Jewish portrayals to shape Egypt as a multiethnic and multicultural society of which Jews were an integral part.

Yet in both the aging and diseased heart the relationships between cardiac work rate and concentrations of ATP\, ADP\, and inorganic phosphate are altered. Important outstanding questions are: To what extent do changes in metabolite concentrations that occur in aging and heart disease affect metabolic/molecular processes in the myocardium? How are systolic and diastolic functions affected by changes in metabolite concentrations? Does metabolic energy supply represent a limiting factor in determining physiological maximal cardiac power output and exercise capacity? Does the derangement of cardiac energetics that occurs with heart failure cause exercise intolerance?\n\nTo answer these questions\, we have developed a multi-physics multi-scale model of cardiac energy metabolism and cardiac mechanics that simulates the dependence of myocardial ATP demand on muscle dynamics and the dependence of muscle dynamics on cardiac energetics. Model simulations predict that the maximal rate at which ATP can be synthesized at free energies necessary to drive physiological mechanical function determine maximal heart rate\, cardiac output\, and cardiac power output in exercise. Furthermore\, we find that reductions in cytoplasmic adenine nucleotide\, creatine\, and phosphate pools that occur with aging impair the myocardial capacity to synthesize ATP at physiological free energy levels\, and that the resulting changes to myocardial energetic status play a causal role in contributing to reductions in maximal cardiac power output with aging. Finally\, model predictions reveal that reductions in cytoplasmic metabolite pools contribute to energetic dysfunction in heart failure\, which in turn contributes to causing systolic dysfunction in heart failure.\n\nBlueJeans Livestream Link: https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/live-event/rbuvycdc\n\n3:45 p.m. - Light Refreshments served in Forum Hall Atrium\n4:00 p.m. - Lecture in Forum Hall UID:72535-18015945@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72535 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Cardiovascular,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Human Genetics,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Mathematics,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200120T131823 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200212T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200212T180000 SUMMARY:Ceremony / Service:Sarah Goddard Power Award and Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Ceremony DESCRIPTION:February 12\, 2020 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm\nKoessler Room\, Michigan League\n\nPlease join us for the annual Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards Ceremony.\n\nThe Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards are presented by the Academic Women’s Caucus\, which was founded in its current form in 1975. Its initial charge was ” …to develop an inclusive organization of all women faculty members of the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, and Flint campuses of the University of Michigan which will serve as a forum for the exchange of information about the status of faculty women at the University and as a focus for action necessary to the investigation and resolution of their special concerns.” To this end\, the Caucus has met regularly during the academic year since 1976. It has responded to the concerns of its members by sponsoring informational and problem-solving sessions of various kinds and has provided support and a mechanism for exchange of ideas and action proposals.\n\n2020 SARAH GODDARD POWER AWARD\nSarah Goddard Power was widely acclaimed as a major contributor to the advancement of higher education\, an advocate for affirmative action and human rights\, and a champion of freedom for the international press. As a Regent of the University of Michigan for more than 12 years\, Sarah Goddard Power worked tirelessly to advance the position of women and minorities in faculty and administrative roles.\n\nRegent Sarah Goddard Power originally suggested that the Academic Women’s Caucus present awards to such individuals. In 1984\, an Awards Committee was established to select the first recipients of the Academic Women’s Caucus Awards. Thus\, it seemed appropriate that the Academic Women’s Caucus Award be renamed to honor Regent Power. In 1988\, Regent Philip H. Power graciously consented to allow the Caucus to rename its awards the Academic Women’s Caucus Sarah Goddard Power Award. In 1998\, President Lee Bollinger enabled the Award to be offered with an accompanying stipend. Each year\, nominations are selected for the Sarah Goddard Power Awards.\n\n2020 Sarah Goddard Power Award Recipients:\n\nCathleen Connell\, Professor\, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education\, is being honored for her significant achievement in addressing current challenges faced by women through distinguished leadership at the University of Michigan. Dr. Connell began her academic career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Behavior and Health Education in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan in 1989\, and rose through the ranks to become Professor in 2003. She has served in many leadership roles in her tenure at the University\, including associate and senior associate dean of academic affairs\, department and associate chair\, and directorships. “Cathleen brings true kindness\, empathy and graciousness to her leadership roles. With her attitudes and actions\, she has helped make the Department and School a place where female scholars feel comfortable and can thrive personally and professionally\,” said Mary Janevic\, Ph.D.\, MPH\, in a nominating letter. “Cathleen embodies the characteristics of an inspired leader. A patient listener\, she has an innate ability to motivate teams to institute changes\, meet goals\, and achieve success\,” Angela Beck\, Assistant Dean for Student Engagement and Practice\, School of Public Health\, wrote.\n\nAllison Steiner\, Professor\, Department of Climate and Space Science and Engineering\, has provided breakthrough contributions towards developing a diverse and inclusive workforce both at the University of Michigan and in her own scientific field at a national and international level. She receives the Sarah Goddard Power Award for her tireless advocacy towards the advancement of women in Earth Sciences worldwide\, and her leadership role in promoting equality for female faculty in the College of Engineering. Allison co-founded the Earth Science Women’s Network (ESWN)\, an international peer-mentoring network of women in the Earth Sciences\, whose mission is to promote career development\, build community\, provide opportunities for informal mentoring and support\, and facilitate professional collaborations. At the University and within the College of Engineering Steiner plays active leadership roles in a variety of programs and efforts to develop and implement strategies and plans to support diversity\, equity and inclusion. She chaired the Dean’s Advisory Committee on Female Faculty\, is a member of the CoE ADVANCE Advisory Committee and Co-Chaired last year’s NextProf Committee. “Looking through the list of the last few years Sarah Goddard Power Award winners is inspirational… Prof. Allison Steiner’s significant achievements in contributing to the betterment of current challenges faced by women through her leadership and community building roles clearly place her in the same company\,” wrote Mark Moldwin\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Professor of Space Sciences and Engineering\, in a nominating letter.\n\n2020 RHETAUGH G. DUMAS PROGRESS IN DIVERSIFYING AWARD\nThe Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award supports a long-standing vision of increasing the number of diverse women in the academy. Named after late Vice Provost Rhetaugh Dumas\, it recognizes outstanding institutional initiative in demonstrating notable progress by academic units in achieving ethnic\, racial and gender diversity among those pursuing and achieving tenure as professors\, clinical professors\, research professors\, and research scientists.\n\nRhetaugh Dumas was an esteemed leader with vision\, insight\, and wise counsel who had a major impact in the advancement of nursing\, healthcare\, and academic programs at U-M. Vice Provost Dumas was only the second African-American to hold the position of a Dean at the University of Michigan when she was appointed in 1981\, and the first African-American to be named a Dean. She was reappointed Dean of Nursing in 1986 and 1991 to second and third terms. Prior to that appointment\, she was the first woman and first nurse to serve as a deputy director of the National Institute of Mental Health. Dumas was Deputy Director\, Alcohol\, Drug Abuse\, and Mental Health Administration (1979-1981) and before that Chief\, Psychiatric Nursing Education Branch of the Division of Manpower and Training Programs (1972-1976). She was also a founding member\, a Charter Fellow\, and a former president of the American Academy of Nursing. Dumas served the University of Michigan for over 20 years with vision and a commitment to excellence.\n\n2020 Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Recipient:\nThe U-M Women’s Studies Department has been selected for the Rhetaugh Dumas Award for its continued commitment to hiring and promoting a diverse faculty. In the fall of 2019\, 50% of Women’s Studies faculty were black and/or people of color. Over the past five years\, leadership in Women’s Studies has embodied and practiced an “institutional commitment to change.” Two recent department chairs ­- Elizabeth Cole and Rosie Ceballo\, African American and Latinx\, respectively – during those five years have moved on to Assistant\, Associate\, and interim dean positions at the College of LSA. Beyond their own leadership positions\, they also made the effort to hire black women and/or women of color.

Audience Q & A follows the conversation\, as well as an opportunity to meet the artist and talk one-on-one.\n\nAbout the exhibition:\nHometown Hero (Chink): An American Interior\, by Valery Jung Estabrook\, re-creates a life-size living room sewn by hand\, suggestive of the artist’s history growing up in rural southwestern Virginia.The installation includes a custom upholstered recliner embellished with a Confederate Flag motif\, and a plush TV emanating country music karaoke sung by the artist.The exhibition challenges the notions of heritage\, Southern nationalism and “traditional” American culture\, providing a window into the tensions of being a perpetual foreigner in one’s own hometown.\n\nReflecting on her exhibition title\, Estabrook states\, “The second part of the title\, “Chink\,” is a word that is fundamentally linked to my lifelong experience as an Asian American. Yes\, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I\, unfortunately\, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”\n\nValery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation\, Florida\, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, Lagos\, Bilbao\, and Melbourne. In 2018 she received the Gold AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award\, an annual award recognizing artists of Korean heritage in the United States. She currently resides in Albuquerque and teaches experimental art at the University of New Mexico.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Yes\, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I\, unfortunately\, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”\n\nValery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation\, Florida\, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, Lagos\, Bilbao\, and Melbourne. In 2018 she received the Gold AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award\, an annual award recognizing artists of Korean heritage in the United States.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft.

She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts.

She was a recipient of a year long Stein Scholarship at the Center for Book Arts in New York City in 2013\, and her work is in Special Collections libraries throughout the U.S.\n\nEllen Rutt is a Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist and activist who has a BFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design. She makes bold mixed-media paintings\, murals\, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment\, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo\, Hawaii.\n\nAbout the Curator:\n\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist\, educator\, curator\, and musician based in Southwest Detroit.

DESCRIPTION:Privacy is dead! Or is it? This talk will explore the darker side of social media\, smartphones\, smart speakers. How and why do these technologies track your behavior online and in your homes? What can they know about you? Why do people struggle to protect their privacy? The talk further discusses research advances that can lead to better privacy protections and user controls\, and what you can do now to take back your privacy.\n\nFlorian Schaub is Assistant Professor in the University of Michigan School of Information. His research combines privacy\, human-computer interaction\, emerging technologies\, and public policy. He studies people’s privacy decision making and behavior\, investigates technology-related privacy implications\, and develops user-centric privacy solutions that help people better manage their privacy in technology contexts. Dr. Schaub holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Ulm\, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University.\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988495@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T181705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cullen Washington\, Jr.: The Public Square DESCRIPTION:This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington\, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series\, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

At this time there is no plan of rescheduling\, but please stay tuned to our website and social media pages for the latest updates. We thank you for your patience and understanding.\n\nThe silent film benshi has attracted attention for being a unique aspect of Japanese film culture. With the release of Suo Masayuki’s new feature film\, Katsuben!\, interest in the benshi will no doubt increase. This lecture will examine the history of the benshi. Special attention will be paid to its role in the immigrant communities of America\, as a point of cultural exchange in the Japan-America film relationship a century ago.\n\nIchiro Kataoka graduated from the Nihon University College of Art and began training under Midori Sawato\, in 2002. He is the most well-known benshi of his generation\, a rising star that is also the most internationally active benshi\, having given performances in countries such as Croatia\, Germany and Australia. Performing a broad repertoire of styles\, Mr. Kataoka is known for not only performing with the more “traditional” benshi accompaniment of a small ensemble or select Japanese instruments\, but also has been open to working with experimental or electronic music. He has appeared as a benshi in various films and also works as a voice actor for animation and video games.\n\nYou may also wish to attend the 7:30pm screening of \"The Downfall of Osen (Orizuru Osen).\" This silent film will be accompanied by a live benshi narration.

The T cells must integrate signals from their environment in deciding what cells to kill or to spare. This diversity can make determining exactly what is recognized during an immune response extremely challenging. My lab combines protein engineering\, combinatorial biology\, structural biology and immunology to better understand and then manipulate immune recognition. We aim to find what is recognized during the course of successful immune responses\, what antigens should be targeted in treatments and how to better design cell-based immunotherapies.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nMichael Birnbaum is an assistant professor of biological engineering at MIT. He received his bachelor's degree in chemical and physical biology from Harvard University and his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2014. There\, he worked under K. Christopher Garcia and studied the molecular mechanisms of T cell receptor recognition\, cross-reactivity and activation. After postdoctoral work in Carla Shatz’s group at Stanford\, supported by a Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral Fellowship\, Professor Birnbaum joined MIT and the Koch Institute in 2016. During his tenure at the Koch Institute\, Birnbaum has received the AACR-TESARO Career Development Award for Immuno-oncology Research\, a Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering\, and a V Scholar Grant from the Jimmy V Foundation.

It is estimated that AVs will be available on the market in the next decade. As car-parks are closed environments\, they are among the first locations to expect influenced by AVs. AVs can be stacked in multiple rows like valet parking due to their self-parking capability. To release blocked vehicles\, car-park operators relocate certain vehicles in driverless mode to create a clear pathway for cars that need to leave the facility. The problem of finding the optimal car-park layout design is investigated that minimizes relocations to fit a given number of vehicles. Results show that AV parking facilities can decrease the need for parking space by an average of 62%. The operation of AV parking facilities is also investigated\, and policies for choosing a parking spot for each vehicle are proposed based on the arrival and departure time information. AVs will not only change the car-park facilities\, but also where travelers park. AV users can exit from their vehicles and send their vehicles to park in a strategic location. AVs can park farther from destination in cheaper parking lots or cruise for the whole activity time. Results show that while the same parking price across all the locations would exacerbate the congestion by motivating more AVs to cruise\, a toll for zero- occupant AVs would decrease the congestion.\n\nSina Bahrami is a Postdoctoral fellow at University of Michigan. He received a B.S. and an M.S. in Civil Engineering from Sharif University of Technology\, and a Ph.D. from University of Toronto. Sina’s research is focused on the parking policy in the era of Avs. UID:70244-17556160@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70244 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Civil and Environmental Engineering,Energy,Engineering,Graduate and Professional Students,Graduate Students,Michigan Engineering,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:GG Brown Laboratory - 2029 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191004T131137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:ASC Event. 2019 UMAPS Colloquium Series DESCRIPTION:This series features the UMAPS fellows and their scholarly work.

Many control and computational problems of practical interest remain unsolved due to the issues of non-convexity and complexity. The first part of this talk focuses on how to recover convexity for distributed control problems. I will present a new distributed control framework centered on the notion of sparsity invariance\, which allows deriving convex approximation/reformulation of the largest known class of distributed control problems with sparsity constraints. I will show that the notion of sparsity invariance goes beyond the well-known notion of quadratic invariance. The second part of this talk focuses on the scalability of solving large-scale convex optimization problems. In particular\, I will consider the class of semidefinite optimization problems. By exploiting the properties of chordal graphs and sparse positive semidefinite matrices\, I will present a decomposition method that can scale sparse semidefinite optimization to large-scale instances\, achieving massive scalability. The resulting algorithms have been implemented in the open-source solver: CDCS (Cone Decomposition Conic Solver). Extensions to a class of polynomial optimization\, i.e.\, sparse sum-of-squares optimization\, will be briefly discussed.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nYang Zheng received the DPhil (Ph.D.) degree in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford\, UK\, in 2019. He received the B.E. and M.S. degrees from Tsinghua University\, China\, in 2013 and 2015\, respectively. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the SEAS and CGBC at Harvard University. His research interests lie in the interface of learning\, optimization\, and control of network systems\, and their applications to cyber-physical systems\, especially autonomous vehicles and traffic systems. His work was acknowledged by several awards\, including the Best Student Paper Award Finalist at the 2019 European Control Conference\, the Best Student Paper Award at the 17th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems\, and the Best Paper Award at the 14th Intelligent Transportation Systems Asia-Pacific Forum. He is the recipient of the National Scholarship\, Outstanding Graduate in Tsinghua University\, and the Clarendon Scholarship at the University of Oxford. In 2018\, he received the ABTA Doctoral Research Award in Engineering Science\, and in 2019\, he received the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad.

However\, achieving the full promise of CAR T-cell therapy\, especially in solid tumors\, will require further advances in this form of cellular therapy. A key challenge is maintaining a sufficient pool of functional CAR T cells in vivo. We recently developed a strategy to target vaccines to lymph nodes\, by linking peptide antigens to albumin-binding phospholipid-polymers. Constitutive trafficking of albumin from blood to lymph makes it ideal chaperone to concentrate these “amphiphile-vaccine” molecules in lymph nodes that would otherwise be rapidly dispersed in the bloodstream following parenteral injection. These lipid-polymer conjugates also exhibit the property that they insert in cell membranes on arrival in lymph nodes. Here\, we generated amphiphile CAR T ligand (amph-ligand) vaccine by exploiting these dual lymph node targeting and membrane-decorating properties to repeatedly expand and rejuvenate CAR T cells through the chimeric receptor in native lymph node microenvironment. We evaluated this approach in the presence of a complete host immune system. Amph-ligand vaccine boosting triggered massive CAR T expansion\, increased donor cell polyfunctionality\, and enhanced anti-tumor efficacy in multiple immunocompetent tumor models. We demonstrate two approaches to generalize this strategy to any CAR\, enabling this simple HLA-independent vaccination approach to enhance CAR T functionality to be applied to existing CAR T cell designs. Taken together\, our amph-ligand vaccine provides a simple engineering solution to augment CAR T-cell therapy.

It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.” (Interview\, New York Review of Books\, October 26\, 1978). Arendt’s well-known revisionist account of propaganda shifted the focus away from “indoctrination” and toward the role of cynicism and quiescence in sustaining authoritarianism. If uncertainty becomes a systemic feature of our media systems\, we are likely to lose trust—in each other\, in the institutions that inform and represent us\, and\, ultimately\, in the democratic process. In the long term\, the general expectation that little of what is available online can be trusted may contribute to an attitudinal spiral that “anything goes”—a new culture of indeterminacy that may further diminish individuals’ sense of accountability for the information they share. At the elite level\, such a culture may also enable deceitful politicians to claim that nothing can be proved in a public sphere characterized by chaos\, distrust\, and cynicism. New opportunities will emerge for politicians to campaign on promises to restore “order” and “certainty” through illiberal policies curtailing free speech and other civil rights. How should communication researchers respond to these challenges?\n\nAndrew Chadwick is Professor of Political Communication in the Department of Communication and Media at Loughborough University\, where he is also the founding Director of the Online Civic Culture Centre (O3C).

Written in a poetic-philosophical mode\, “Respite” brings together 12 fragments as autotheoretical forms—autocollage\, autothermograph\, nested equation\, and 9 others—for a self confronted with the unthinkable extinction of all life on earth. Grounded in human and natural archives\, “Respite” is framed by Sylvia Wynter’s and Michel Foucault’s theoretical critiques of anthropos (Man). In casting self-writing as an experiment\, “Respite” offers a new ethical model for being present to life in its ending.\n\n Lynne Huffer is Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Women's\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Emory University.

Clearly\, nutrient application produces a series of entangled and unintended consequences that suggests a fundamental imbalance in how we manage the planet. Interestingly\, awareness that things are not what they might seem with nutrients appeared 50 years ago in the pages of Science\, with Michael Rosenzweig’s seminal paper on the “Paradox of Enrichment “. Here\, pushed by recent empirical findings of ecosystem imbalance occurring on the landscape we revisit Rosenzweig’s paradox of enrichment results from a more wholistic food web perspective and a large spatial perspective (meta-ecosystems). While many have argued against any empirical evidence for Rosenzweig’s paradox of enrichment in nature\, when we broaden his work to include multiple types of instability in space we find that spatial food web theory suggests we expect to find ecosystem imbalances often at great distances from the local source of nutrient enrichment given natures vast transport systems (e.g.\, stream\, rivers\, oceanic currents\, wind\, mass migration events). The results also suggest an analog to network food web theory that stabilization of these large spatially distant ecosystem imbalances can occur by muting key spatial pathways of nutrient transport in meta-ecosystems.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/5JPKQndjmjY UID:69042-17220023@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69042 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200228T123033 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T173000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Global Health Strategies Information Session DESCRIPTION:Join the team at Global Health Strategies to learn more about the global health landscape and the impact that a career in communicationsand advocacy can have on health and well-being around the world.
