Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

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.

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. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control.

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.

These problems carry extremely high social\,psychological\, and economic costs for individuals\, families\, communities andsociety at large. Although substance use is common among adolescents and youngadults\, there are substantial individual differences in susceptibility to substanceuse problems. Why do some adolescents show persistent substance use problemsacross the transition to early adulthood\, whereas others show decliningpatterns of use? Currently\, there are significant gaps in our understanding ofhow adverse experiences in early childhood may become translated into latersubstance use problems\, an issue that has strong relevance for prevention.Using new data from our 17-year prospectivelongitudinal study\, we tested the hypothesis that individual differences in theseverity of ATOD among emerging adults may reflect complex transactions betweenchildren’s adverse social experiences and regulatory vulnerabilities that beginin the early preschool years.

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.

According to Transparency International\, Armenian Corruption Perception Index has increased by 7 points and the rank has improved by 28 positions in 2019 compared to 2018. What were the social and economic factors keeping the high level of corruption in the country? Recent empirical studies have predominantly looked at antecedents of corruption from a macro level. Based on the analysis of three datasets comprising of individual-level surveys taken over a three-year period in Armenia\, the study argues that social norms\, personal wealth\, and the high reliability of corrupt transactions impact an individual’s decision to be involved in corruption. \n\nLunch will be served. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nAram Simonyan is Associate Professor of Economics at the International Scientific Educational Centre of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia\, where he has been working in the capacity of Associate Chair of Economics and Management Department. His main research focuses on anti-corruption strategies in European countries from a socio-economic perspective. Advanced in eight languages\, he held visiting positions at multiple European Universities. Now he is getting his second PhD in Sociology at the University of Kiel.\nDr. Simonyan was a Weiser Professional Fellow at the Gerald Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan in 2018\, and is a visiting Fulbright Scholar at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan in 2019-2020.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nInfants and toddlers learn language through dynamic\, reciprocal interactions with their caregivers. Often\, language development is studied using tasks that seem far from the engaging\, natural context of the child’s everyday world. This is typically even more true of studies that examine the brain\, because our brain imaging technologies like MRI and EEG typically require one person to engage in a repetitive task in front of a screen\, with restricted motion. In this talk\, I describe our work that aims assess language and brain measures in children with or at-risk for language disorders using innovative naturalistic\, dyadic behavior and brain measures. One line of research uses a multi-dimensional approach to assess risk for later language disorder in late-talking children\, including assessing irritability (a key indicator of later mental health risk)\, parent-child interaction\, and the child’s brain and parent-child brain synchrony in the lab. Our EEG measures of the brain are collected from both toddlers and their mothers while they interact naturally\, during activities such as watching a movie or completing a puzzle together. We use a micro-coding approach to identify different behavioral states and compare features of the child’s brain (such as EEG power in bands of interest) and similarity or synchrony between the child and parent’s brain (inter-brain power correlation and phase locking) across these states. We also assess children longitudinally via videochat\, recording the parent and child at home\, to enable additional timepoints of data while minimizing participant burden. A second project compares these brain measures in toddlers with autism and parents with the broader autism phenotype (sub-clinical autism-like symptoms). Together\, these studies highlight the challenges and promises of using dyadic methods to give a more complete picture of a child’s language development.\n\n\nBio: \nElizabeth Norton is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Northwestern University\, where she directs the Language\, Education and Reading Neuroscience (or “LEARN”) Lab. Her research combines behavioral and brain measures and seeks to understand typical development as well as reading\, language\, and neurodevelopmental disorders. She currently leads two NIH-funded research projects investigating early brain and behavior atypicalities and markers of prognosis in children with language delay or autism spectrum disorder. As a former high school teacher for students with dyslexia\, she is particularly interested in understanding individual differences and working toward early identification and intervention for language and reading disabilities. Norton obtained her B.A. in Language and Brain Development at Dartmouth College\, her Ph.D. at Tufts University in Child Study and Human Development\, and postdoctoral training in the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT.\n\nVisit sponsors: Department of Psychology Developmental Area\, Combined Program in Education & Psychology\, Language & Literacy Laboratory (Director: Ioulia Kovelman\, Psychology) UID:69690-17382658@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69690 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:brown bag LOCATION:East Hall - 4464 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200127T181713 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Diversity at Work: Google Shares Inclusive Practices DESCRIPTION:Diversity at Work is an ongoing series of workshops hosted by Rackham’s Professional Development DEI Certificate Program where participants can hear from real employees and employers about how they are incorporating diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and social justice efforts in their organizations.\nDiversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (DEI) aptitude continues to be a highly sought out asset among employers\, both within and outside of academe.

DESCRIPTION: \nAs a result of controls on NOx emissions from cars\, trucks\, and electricity production\, NOx levels (sum on NO and NO2) have decreased rapidly across North America over the past decades. The reductions in NO alter the photochemical pathways in the oxidation of numerous chemicals emitted from the biosphere and from anthropogenic activities. The gas phase chemistry in the low NO regime has received significantly less attention from atmospheric chemists. Here\, I describe new analytical methods to probe the low NOx chemistry in the field and in the laboratory. New chemical pathways are identified illustrating that great care must be taken in extrapolating of existing photochemical models to the low NOx atmosphere. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nPaul Wennberg (California Institute of Technology) UID:64491-16374909@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64491 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200318T092027 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:CANCELED - Pre-Law 101 Information Session DESCRIPTION:***CANCELED***\n\nStudents beginning to explore the possibility of attending law school and those committed to applying in the future are encouraged to attend.\n\nJanuary 29th\, 4PM - 5PM - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room)\n\nFebruary 17th\, 4PM - 5PM - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room) - Transfer Student session\, but all are welcome to attend\n\nMarch 20th\, 12PM - 1PM - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room) UID:71229-17791931@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71229 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Pre-Law LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200207T130421 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Framingham Heart Study: Fundamental Concepts of Cardiovascular Disease Risk DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary Speaker Series - Developmental Origins of Health & Disease: Evolutionary & Epidemiological Approaches - Presented by the Evolution and Human Adaptation Program & The Research Center for Group Dynamics UID:72466-18009371@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72466 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Talk LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200217T181652 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Better Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay through Biochemistry DESCRIPTION:The goal of future neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is to establish whether neutrino is its own antiparticle\, by searching for an ultra-rare decay process with a half life that may be more than 10^27 years. Such a discovery would have major implications for cosmology and particle physics\, but requires ton-scale detectors with backgrounds below 1 count per ton per year. This is a formidable technological challenge that has prompted consideration of unconventional solutions. I will discuss an approach being developed within the NEXT collaboration: high pressure xenon gas time projection chambers augmented with single molecule fluorescent imaging-based barium tagging. This combines techniques from the fields of biochemistry\, super-resolution microscopy\, organic synthesis and nuclear physics\, possibly enabling the first effectively background-free\, ton-scale neutrinoless double beta decay technology.\n\n UID:72039-17916368@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72039 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200123T165115 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Hub Studio: Internship Search DESCRIPTION:This studio is self-directed\, open work time to work towards launching or improving your internship search process.

ToxiCity: Practices of Living Anthropogenic Seas DESCRIPTION:How might we think about and address the kinds of life that emerge in the wastescapes of cities? In this talk I attend to the social and natural life of Mumbai’s anthropogenic sea. Today\, Mumbai’s sea is an uneasy gathering of urban\, climactic and agrarian processes. As sewage\, fish\, birds\, coral\, and algae interact in dynamic relations\, how are fishers\, amateur naturalists and scientists negotiating the ambivalent ecologies of the Anthroposea. By attending to their practices\, this talk explores emergent ways of thinking\, knowing and acting in muddy waters.\n\nBio: Nikhil Anand is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the political ecology of cities\, read through the different lives of water. His award winning book\, Hydraulic City\, focuses on the everyday ways in which cities and citizens are made through the everyday management of water infrastructure in Mumbai. With Hannah Appel and Akhil Gupta\, Dr. Anand is also co-editor of The Promise of Infrastructure\, which focuses on how infrastructure provides a generative ground to theorize time and politics. Dr. Anand's new research project\, The Urban Sea\, attends to the ways coastal cities are actively constituted through social and natural relationships with the sea.

Her 2016 book\, Bassoon Reed Making (Indiana University Press) details current and historic trends in this field. Schillinger’s groundbreaking research extends to guest lectures and residencies throughout the United States and Europe.\n\nSchillinger is an advocate for diversity in performance and programming. She is a founding member of Limitless Collective\, an all-female ensemble featuring works by women\, PoC\, and the LGBTQ community. She is also the creator and organizer of the fEmpower social media network for bassoonists identifying as female. \n\nSchillinger publishes numerous articles and appears regularly as a performer and lecturer. In addition\, Schillinger co-hosted the 2012 International Double Reed Society Annual Conference and inaugural IDRS Teen Camp. \n\nSchillinger is on faculty at Ithaca College in New York where she performs frequently with New Music and traditional orchestral ensembles. Previously\, she has held positions with Miami University\, the University of Nevada\, and various orchestras throughout the west. \n\nChristin Schillinger holds degrees from Northwestern University (BM)\, Michigan State University (MM)\, and Arizona State University (DMA).

It delves deep into the most contentious debates and uncovers the hidden intentions of the supporters and detractors of comfort women. Most importantly it finds answers to some of the biggest questions for Japanese and Koreans: Were comfort women prostitutes or sex slaves? Were they coercively recruited? And\, does Japan have a legal responsibility to apologize to the former comfort women?\n \n The “comfort women” issue is perhaps Japan’s most contentious present-day diplomatic quandary. Inside Japan\, the issue is dividing the country across clear ideological lines. Supporters and detractors of “comfort women” are caught in a relentless battle over empirical evidence\, the validity of oral testimony\, the number of victims\, the meaning of sexual slavery\, and the definition of coercive recruitment. Credibility\, legitimacy and influence serve as the rallying cry for all those involved in the battle. In addition\, this largely domestic battleground has been shifted to the international arena\, commanding the participation of various state and non-state actors and institutions from all over the world.\n\nAbout the Director: Miki Dezaki is a Japanese-American director and graduate of the Graduate Program in Global Studies at Sophia University in Tokyo. He worked for the Japan Exchange Teaching Program for five years in Yamanashi and Okinawa before becoming a Buddhist monk in Thailand for one year. He is also known as “Medamasensei” on Youtube\, where he has made comedy videos and videos on social issues in Japan. His most notable video is “Racism in Japan\,” which led to numerous online attacks by Japanese neo-nationalists who attempted to deny the existence of racism and discrimination against Zainichi Koreans (Koreans with permanent residency in Japan) and Burakumin (historical outcasts still discriminated today). Shusenjo is his directorial debut.\n\nPresented in Japanese\, Korean and English with English subtitles.\n\nJoin us for a post-film discussion with the film’s director\, Miki Dezaki.\n \n“A Filmmaker Explored Japan’s Wartime Enslavement of Women.

In this exhibition\, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement. \n\nSince June\, protests have been ongoing in Hong King\, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations\, over two million Hongkongers\, which is more than a quarter of the population\, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill\, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement. \n\nAfter 2/12\, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things.

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.

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.

This drive was established to help find a match for Natalia\, an 8-year-old girl who may need a bone marrow donor soon.\n\nNatalia was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in August 2019. She has been hospitalized for most of the last few months at University of Michigan’s Mott Children’s Hospital\, where she is undergoing chemotherapy. She has about 4 more months to go. Natalia has a very positive attitude. She loves to read (especially Percy Jackson and Warriors books) and do craft projects. Her nurses and doctors love her!\n\nHopefully chemo will be enough to cure Natalia’s condition. If it isn’t\, she will need a bone marrow transplant. As of now\, there are NO full matches in the bone marrow registries worldwide. Her 13-year-old brother and her twin sister are not matches.\n\nNatalia’s mixed-race background – Cantonese\, Latina (Salvadoran)\, and white (Dutch/German) – makes it especially hard to find a match. Her bone marrow HLA markers are predominantly Cantonese/white.

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:68063-16988499@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:20200218T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T170000 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.

It is of great interest to understand how that aggregate expenditure affects prices\, market efficiency\, and overall welfare.\n\nHere\, we present a mathematical model for the dynamics of competition through advertising and find a surprising prediction: when advertising is relatively cheap compared to the maximum benefit of advertising\, rational firms split into two groups\, one with significantly less advertising (a \"generic'' group) and one with significantly more advertising (a \"name-brand'' group).\n\nWe use consumer data to compare predictions from the model with real world pricing and advertising data and find qualitative agreement. We also show that having products be differentiated by advertising is not always best for total profit or total welfare in an industry.

At the Plasma Dynamics Computational Laboratory at Virginia Tech\, we study fundamental processes such as plasma sheath physics and plasma-material interactions to support and overcome some of the physics challenges of advanced space propulsion concepts. Furthermore\, nuclear fusion\, which remains one of the biggest unsolved problems of the previous and present centuries\, may hold the key to long-duration\, high-payload spaceflight in addition to potentially satisfying terrestrial energy demands. Research at the laboratory also supports a wide array of fusion concepts including magnetic confinement fusion\, magneto-inertial fusion\, and inertial confinement fusion. The high-energy-density hydrodynamics research being performed to study these concepts extends to astrophysics and national security applications. A common challenge across these varied applications is the necessity for high-fidelity computational models for kinetic and fluid plasmas. Recent advances in plasma modeling\, from magnetohydrodynamic to fully kinetic\, will be presented. This research seminar will describe novel kinetic and multi-fluid models and will discuss original research contributions in two representative applications: plasma-material interactions relevant to plasma thrusters and high-energy-density hydrodynamics.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Bhuvana Srinivasan is an Assistant Professor in the Kevin T. Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean engineering at Virginia Tech where she has been developing a computational plasma physics program.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nHierarchy is the most ubiquitous way in which human beings organize social interactions. However\, hierarchy comes with substantial downsides in terms of inequities and conflicts. As a result\, organizations have explored flatter modes of organizing\, such as holacracy\, which unfortunately have yet to yield much success. In this presentation\, Greer will explore the possibility that hierarchy may still be the most effective form of organization but needs to be used wisely. She will discuss data-driven strategies which can allow hierarchy to be a useful and positive organizational tool\, including helping leaders learn how to ‘flex’ the hierarchy for bursts of flatness\, to humanize the hierarchy through sharing emotions at work\, and to reduce competitions around hierarchy by creating areas of individual ownership and autonomy.\n\nAbout Greer:\nLindy Greer is an Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at Michigan Ross and the Faculty Director of the Sanger Leadership Center. Her research focuses on how to lead effective organizational teams with specific interests in leadership skills in conflict management\, diversity and inclusion\, vision crafting\, and the communication of emotions. \n\nLindy has published in top management and psychology research outlets such as Academy of Management Journal\, Organization Science\, Journal of Applied Psychology\, Science\, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\, among others. Her work has also been covered in well-known media outlets including The New York Times\, CNN\, Forbes\, and Fast Company. She has received awards for her research from the Academy of Management and American Psychological Association\, and she was recently named one of the Top 40 under 40 Business School Professors by Poets and Quants. \n\nLindy is currently an Associate Editor at the Academy of Management Journal\, on the boards of seven of the top management and psychology journals\, and has served on the boards of professional associations such as the International Association of Conflict Management and the Conflict Management Division of the Academy of Management. Lindy received her BS from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and her PhD in social and organizational psychology from Leiden University in the Netherlands. She joined the team at Ross in 2019.\n\nHost: \nJane Dutton\, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations\; Robert L.

Since the intensity and likelihood of these events are not well defined\, performance based design approaches include the management of inelastic response and local failure. Design techniques that were developed for the ‘cold war’ are now adapted for Government and commercial construction. Applying these techniques to ‘design excellence’ architecture is a major challenge and the least impactful protective measures that achieve the required performance contribute to a project’s success. In many projects\, the protective design engineer helps identify the risks associated with different design options and helps the owners to decide whether to mitigate or accept these risks.\n\nRobert Smilowitz is a Senior Principal at Thornton Tomasetti UID:72187-17955061@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72187 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:20200317T153234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T193000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:POSTPONED INDEFINITELY: Faculty Research for Impact: Addressing UN SDG #13 – Climate Action DESCRIPTION:How are Ross faculty members advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals through business research?

Two of these therapies based on chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) technology have received FDA approval and helped extremely ill patients where other therapies have failed - up to 90% of advanced relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients in clinical studies saw complete remission of their disease. But a truly novel modality like this - where a patient’s own immune cells are extracted\, engineered\, and reintroduced to attack their cancer - comes with unprecedented scientific\, technical\, and operational challenges. Here at BCG\, we have partnered with leading biopharmaceutical companies to explore novel strategies to discover\, develop\, and deliver cell therapies to patients with true unmet need. Garner Soltes\, Project Leader from our BCG NewJersey office\, will lead this virtual session and walk through his specific experience on a BCG client case\, where he\, alongside a team of BCG consultants\, developed a 10-year strategy and plan to help this client explore and succeed in the emerging cell therapy space.\n\nLearn more about BCG PhD/postdoc recruiting (aka ADC) on our website here: https://www.bcg.com/en-us/careers/students/advanced-degrees.aspx UID:72668-18037796@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72668 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200212T125355 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T203000 SUMMARY:Presentation:The Polar Vortex\, Climate Change and Weird Weather DESCRIPTION:A presentation by U-M emeritus professor Dr. Henry Pollack on what the polar vortex is\, how it affects us in the Midwest\, and how climate change plays into it. \n\nPresented by Sierra Club Huron Valley Group UID:72799-18079302@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72799 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:climate change,sierra club huron valley chapter LOCATION:Matthaei Botanical Gardens CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200214T103033 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Chamber Choir DESCRIPTION:Eugene Rogers\, conductor\nMatthew Ozawa\, director\nShohei Kobayashi\, graduate student conductor\n\nThe music of David Lang featuring his Pulitzer Prize-winning work The Little Match Girl Passion.

In this exhibition\, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement. \n\nSince June\, protests have been ongoing in Hong King\, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations\, over two million Hongkongers\, which is more than a quarter of the population\, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill\, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement. \n\nAfter 2/12\, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

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.

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.

The problem is formulated as a high-dimensional discrete simulation-based optimization (DSO) problem. We propose a method that combines disaggregate car-sharing reservation data\, analytical mathematical programming (MP) models\, and simulation-based optimization algorithms. We present various ways in which the MP formulations can be used to enhance both the computational efficiency of DSO algorithms\, as well as their ability to tackle high-dimensional problems. We present numerical results on a Boston case study.\n\nCarolina Osorio is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE)\, and in the Operations Research Center (ORC) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

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.

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.

The growing recognition of this connection has had a profound influence on the development of curriculum\, teacher training and research.  The integration of artistic practices into the research process is a key aspect of this development. This presentation looks at two approaches to the use of artistic contemporary research: arts-based and arts practice methods. \n \nArts-based research draws on a variety of practices including poetry\, drawing song-writing\, improvisation\, composition and performance across all phases of research including data collection\, analysis\, interpretation and representation (Leavy\, 2015). In Arts Practice research\, artistic practice is a key method of exploration and forms a substantial part of the submitted evidence around the research inquiry (Nelson\, 2013).\n \nThis presentation discusses strategies for the inclusion of arts-based or arts practice approaches in contemporary research\, looking at questions of expertise\, ethics\, representation\, dissemination and appropriateness to the research question. It concludes with a case study of arts-based research that uses singing as a tool of social and cultural integration in an Irish primary school.\n\n…….\n\nHelen Phelan is professor of arts practice at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance\, University of Limerick\, Ireland. She is an Irish Research Council recipient for her work on singing and new migrant communities in Ireland. Her most recent book\, Singing the Rite to Belong: Music\, Ritual and the New Irish\, was published by Oxford University Press in 2017. As a singer and ritual scholar\, she specializes in chant associated with religious rituals and is co-founder of the female vocal group Cantoral\, who released their much-acclaimed CD recording of Irish medieval chant in 2014. She serves on the editorial boards of a number of journals including Frontiers in Psychology\, The International Journal of Community Music and Experiments and Intensities: A Journal for Performance-as-Research. She is founder of the Singing and Social Inclusion research group and a member of the University of Limerick Sanctuary board. Her primary research interests are in singing\, ritual and migration as well as arts-based and arts practice research methods. Her most recent project\, funded by the Health Research Board\, explores the use of arts-based methods in migrant health research.

In the first part\, I will discuss a 2-dimensional SYK-like model whose moduli space consists of both a chaotic regime and corners with emergent higher-spin symmetry. This model provides a manifest realization of the widely believed connection between SYK-like models and higher-spin theories. In the second part\, I will discuss a general class of coupled quantum systems that share a somewhat surprising property: their ground states approximate the thermofield double state to very good accuracy. This provides a practical way to prepare the thermofield double state.

Men\, Whites\, and the right-handed were hypocognitive\, or less schematic\, of everyday burdens (e.g.\, safety precautions\, daily hassles) experienced by women\, non-Whites\, and the left-handed. This hypocognition\, in turn\, underlay disagreements about social privilege and perceived discrimination across social groups. \n\n\nIzzy Gainsburg\n\nTitle: Is Compassion Limited or Unlimited? Lay beliefs about compassion and their influence on emotional experience\, moral concern\, and helping behavior\n\nAbstract: When people witness tragedy or suffering\, they often feel compassion--feelings of concern for victims and a desire to help them. However\, research also shows that people often feel less compassion as the number of people suffering increases (i.e.\, compassion fade)\, and that people's compassion response weakens with repeated exposure to suffering (i.e.\, compassion fatigue). It is possible\, however\, that compassion fade and fatigue are influenced a belief that compassion is a limited resource. In other words\, it is possible that lay beliefs about compassion as limited and fatiguing result in a self-fulfilling prophecy that reinforces compassion fade and fatigue. If so\, then changing people's beliefs that compassion is unlimited and energizing may short-circuit this process and allow people to continue to feel compassion in response to large amounts of suffering. In today's presentation\, I review a new investigation into whether beliefs about compassion as limited (vs. unlimited) affect people's experience of compassion fatigue\, their moral concern for distant entities\, and their helping behavior.

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:71150-17783450@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.

DESCRIPTION:Join the Nineteenth Century Forum (NCF) for a paper workshop with Laura Korobkin\, Associate Professor of English at Boston University.\n\nThis essay argues that the relationship between Bartleby and the lawyer-narrator in “Bartleby\, the Scrivener” is Melville’s adaptive rewriting of the chiasmic trajectory of the Tom-Legree relationship in Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin. In both\, a new\, disempowered worker in a dehumanizing workplace quietly and respectfully refuses a series of commands\, stunning and enraging the master\, who interprets the refusals as a willful challenge to his personal mastery. In both texts\, though urging no cause and calling none to disobey\, the resistor becomes paradoxically empowered\, the master disempowered\; though the worker could end the conflict at any time by changing his behavior\, he chooses not to\, ultimately enabling his death in captivity. Challenging the established assumption that he responded to Stowe only with mocking disdain\, the essay argues that Melville creatively engaged the novel’s unsentimental Legree section\, giving his lawyer-narrator both Legree’s obsession with his own mastery and Shelby and St. Clare’s self-consoling view of their own benevolence. The essay questions Stowe’s absence from “Bartleby” criticism and argues that Melville extends Stowe’s suggestion of economic continuities between plantation and factory by triangulating the national system to include the white collar office. \n\nPlease email Sarah Van Cleve (srvc@umich.edu) to RSVP and receive a copy of the pre-circulated paper.

Reception to follow. \n\nThis event will be livestreamed. Check back here right before the event for viewing details.\n\nThis Harry A. and Margaret D. Towsley Foundation Lecture will examine the nexus between labor rights and trade—a crucial topic as U.S. and global trade arrangements are being renegotiated. It will feature a conversation between two experts who have long worked to advance worker’s rights in the context of global trade—Dr. Bama Athreya\, a visiting policy expert at the Weiser Diplomacy Center\, and Ford School Professor of Practice Sander Levin. They will discuss historical challenges to including labor clauses in trade agreements and enforcing them. They will also review the labor clauses in recent trade deals\, including the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement\, and analyze the keys to implementing them effectively.\n\nAbout the speakers: \n\nBama Athreya has more than twenty years’ experience on international labor issues\, gender and social inclusion\, and business and human rights. She is currently a Fellow at Open Society Foundations and an advisor to C&A Foundation. Most recently she worked for the US Agency for International Development as Senior Specialist for Labor\, Gender and Social Inclusion\, where she led the development of new guidance and internal training on gender and social inclusion\, and assisted field Missions around the world to develop new programming to address labor rights\, counter human trafficking and promote women’s economic empowerment. She was also one of USAID’s principal points of contact on Business and Human Rights. Previously she worked for the Solidarity Center\, International Labor Rights Forum and Fontheim International and has been a consultant for the International Labour Organization. She has developed and led multi-country projects in Latin America\, sub-Saharan Africa and Asia on the rights of working women\, on forced and child labor\, and on ethical business practices. She has developed and led multi-stakeholder initiatives with global corporations on labor compliance\, and has worked and written extensively on labor and gender in US trade policy. She served as one of the founding Board members of the Sweatfree Purchasing Consortium\, an entity serving state and city governments in the United States who have adopted legislative or executive commitments to ethical procurement. In 2009 she was appointed by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to a special Consultative Group on Forced and Child Labor. She speaks French\, Spanish\, Chinese and Indonesian. She holds a PhD in social anthropology from the University of Michigan. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.\n\nThe Honorable Sander \"Sandy\" Levin is a professor of practice at the Ford School\, with support from the Towsley Foundation Policymaker in Residence program. For over 35 years\, Levin represented residents of Southeast Michigan in Congress. In that time\, Levin was actively involved in the major debates confronting our nation including welfare reform\, the auto industry rescue\, China's entry into the World Trade Organization\, the Iran Nuclear Agreement\, and every critical economic policy issue. He chaired the House Ways and Means Committee including during passage of the Affordable Care Act\, drafted the language to add enforceable labor and environmental standards in trade agreements for the first time\, and successfully fought the privatization of Social Security. Born in Detroit\, Levin earned a BA from the University of Chicago\, an MA in international relations from Columbia University\, and a JD from Harvard University. He developed a private law practice\, served two terms in the Michigan State Senate\, ran for governor\, and served as an assistant administrator at the Agency for International Development before his election to Congress.
