Since the 1990s\, it’s been documented that a category of chemicals known as perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) are harmful to life\, yet the government continues to mandate its use at hundreds of sites across the country\, contaminating surface water and drinking water\, with no plan in place to clean it up. This film highlights the people who are suffering\, who are blowing the whistle\, and who are fighting the United States military’s war on water.\n\nThe film focuses on the PFAS contamination problem in Oscoda\, Michigan\, as a case study into how the U.S. military has failed to protect human health and the environment around the nation and the world. The PFAS contamination in Oscoda was discovered nearly 10 years ago\, making it the first PFAS site in Michigan and the first PFAS military site in the world. The film's director\, Sara Ganim\, is a former CNN correspondent who won the Pulitzer Prize for breaking the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal at Penn State\; she also has done extensive reporting on water issues in other communities in the U.S\, including Flint. \n\nDocumentary. 270 min.

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 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.

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.

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.

Zimmerman DESCRIPTION:Department of Biomedical Engineering Final Oral Examination\n \nLauren L. Zimmerman\n \nInvestigating Neuromodulation as a Treatment for Female Sexual Dysfunction\n \nFemale sexual dysfunction (FSD) affects millions of women worldwide. FSD has a significant impact on quality of life and interpersonal relationships. The prevalence of at least one form of sexual dysfunction is 40-45% of adult women with 12% of women experiencing sexually related personal distress\, yet there is no clear treatment option for a wide range of FSD deficits with high efficacy and low side effects.\n \nNeuromodulation techniques using electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves have the potential to treat some forms of FSD. In clinical trials of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) and percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for bladder dysfunction\, women have reported that their sexual dysfunction symptoms improved as well. Even though this effect has been observed clinically\, very little research has been done to examine the mechanisms or the optimal method of treatment specifically for women with FSD. This thesis aims to bridge that gap by investigating neuromodulation as a treatment for FSD through both preclinical and clinical studies.\n \nThe first aim of this thesis is to investigate a possible mechanism of the improvement to sexual functioning in response to tibial nerve stimulation by evaluating vaginal blood flow responses in rats. In 16 ketamine-anesthetized female rats\, the tibial nerve was stimulated for 30 minutes while vaginal blood perfusion was recorded with laser Doppler flowmetry. A novel signal analysis and quantification metric was developed for this analysis. I found that tibial nerve stimulation could drive prolonged increases in vaginal blood perfusion\, typically after 20-30 minutes of stimulation. This result suggests that clinical neuromodulation may be improving FSD symptoms by increasing genital blood flow.\n \nOne question yet to be investigated by neuromodulation studies is whether tibial nerve stimulation could be an on-demand treatment for FSD\, such as Viagra is for men\, or is more appropriate as a long-term treatment with improvements over time\, such as PTNS for bladder dysfunction. In this thesis I address this question by evaluating the sexual motivation and receptivity of female rats both immediately after a single stimulation session as well as after long-term\, repeated stimulation sessions. I found that tibial nerve stimulation led to modest increases in sexual motivation in the short term\, and larger increases in sexual receptivity in the long-term.\n \nLastly\, this thesis evaluates a pilot clinical study of transcutaneous stimulation of the dorsal genital and posterior tibial nerves in nine women with FSD. The women received stimulation once a week for 12 weeks and their sexual functioning was measured using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) at baseline\, after 6 weeks of stimulation\, after 12 weeks of stimulation\, and at 18 weeks (6 weeks after the last stimulation session). The average total FSFI score across all subjects significantly increased from baseline to each of the time points in the study. Significant FSFI increases were seen in the sub-domains of lubrication\, arousal\, and orgasm\, each of which is related to genital arousal.\n \nThis thesis provides evidence that peripheral neuromodulation can be an effective treatment for FSD. The stimulation is likely driving increases in genital blood flow\, with greater effects observed when stimulation is repeatedly applied over time. This treatment has the potential to help millions of women worldwide.

Six years ago\, he began to translate his body knowledge via the stroke of the paint brush: to experience how that stroke issues from the same impulses that guide his dancing body. For him\, there is no difference in their creative processes and in the essential act of making art.\n\nPeter Sparling is Rudolf Arnheim Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Dance at the University of Michigan. A graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy and the Juilliard School\, Sparling danced with the companies of Jose Limon and Martha Graham and directed Peter Sparling Dance Company.

Robotic vehicles are enabling scientific technology for directly sampling and analyzing surface and subsurface compositions. Present-day robotic algorithms and systems lack sufficient robustness to operate reliably in environments that are unknown a priori. In this talk\, I will describe new approaches to real-time robotic mapping and information gathering. My research explores novel mathematical algorithms for autonomy and their open-source implementation on real robots in challenging situations — my long-term vision is to obtain a human-level perception and autonomy for autonomous robots.\n\nBio: Maani Ghaffari received the Ph.D. degree from the Centre for Autonomous Systems (CAS)\, University of Technology Sydney\, NSW\, Australia\, in 2017. He is currently an Assistant Research Scientist at the Robotics Institute and Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, MI\, USA. His research interests include applied mathematics\, robotic perception\, machine learning\, and planning under uncertainty with applications in robotics and autonomous systems.

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.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms and morphogenetic events underlying human neurulation is important for the prevention and treatment of neural tube defects (NTDs) and neurodevelopmental disorders. However\, animal models are limited in revealing many fundamental aspects of neurulation that are unique to human CNS development. Furthermore\, the technical difficulty and ethical constraint in accessing neurulation-stage human embryos have significantly limited experimental investigations of early human CNS development.\n I leveraged the developmental potential and self-organizing property of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in conjunction with 2D and 3D bioengineering tools to achieve the development of spatially patterned multicellular tissues that mimic certain aspects of human neurulation\, including neuroectoderm patterning and dorsal-ventral (DV) patterning of NT. \n In the first section\, I report a micropatterned hPSC-based neuroectoderm model\, wherein pre-patterned geometrical confinement induces emergent patterning of neuroepithelial (NE) and neural plate border (NPB) cells\, mimicking neuroectoderm patterning during early neurulation. My data support the hypothesis that in this hPS cell-based neuroectoderm patterning model\, two tissue-scale morphogenetic signals\, cell shape and cytoskeletal contractile force\, instruct NE / NPB patterning via BMP-SMAD signaling. This work provides evidence of tissue mechanics-guided neuroectoderm patterning and establishes a tractable model to study signaling crosstalk involving both biophysical and biochemical determinants in neuroectoderm patterning.\n In the second section\, I report a human NT development model\, in which NT-like tissues\, termed NE cysts\, are generated in a bioengineered neurogenic environment through self-organization of hPSCs. DV patterning of NE cysts is achieved using retinoic acid and/or Sonic Hedgehog\, featuring sequential emergence of the ventral floor plate\, p3 and pMN domains in discrete\, adjacent regions and dorsal territory that is progressively restricted to the opposite dorsal pole.

In previous studies\, to evaluate maneuver challenge of a scenario\, surrogate models (SMs) are often used without explicit knowledge of the CAV under test. However\, performance dissimilarities between the SM and the CAV under test usually exist\, and it can lead to the generation of suboptimal library. In this work\, an adaptive testing scenario library generation method is proposed to solve this problem based on Bayesian optimization. A customized testing scenario library for a specific CAV model will be generated as the result of the adaptive process. Compared with a pre-determined library\, a CAV can be tested and evaluated in a more efficient manner with the customized library. To validate the proposed method\, a cut-in and a highway exit case are studied for safety and functionality evaluation respectively. For both two cases\, the proposed method can further accelerate the evaluation process by a few orders of magnitudes.\n\nShuo Feng is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Such investigation\, however\, requires a tool that can capture biological structures and their molecular constituents across multiple orders of magnitude—from nanometers to centimeters—in length. Electron microscopy offers nanoscopic resolution but lacks molecular information to differentiate endogenous biomolecules as well as imaging speed to cover millimeter-scale specimens. Light microscopy provides molecular contrast but is limited by optical diffraction and the tradeoff between imaging speed and photobleaching.\n \nIn this talk\, I will first introduce an optical imaging pipeline named expansion lattice light-sheet microscopy (ExLLSM) and its application to multiplexed\, volumetric imaging of molecular constituents in cells and intact tissues. Using ExLLSM\, our study has revealed molecular-specific structures of organelles\, synapses\, myelin sheaths\, and neurites in rodent and insect brains at ∼60 by 60 by 90 nm effective resolution across dimensions that span millimeters. Next\, I will present two recently developed methods that further extend the resolution and throughput of ExLLSM: (1) a non-radical hydrogel chemistry that forms a homogenous polymer network and physically separates biomolecules or fluorescent labels up to 40-fold linearly\, and (2) a multi-modal optical microscopy that enables rapid\, high-resolution imaging of both expanded and live tissues. Lastly\, I will discuss the significance of these imaging methods in the context of microanatomy and functional omics.

The strong shock wave\, generated ahead of the vehicle\, superheats the air to thousands of degrees and partially dissociates the air into atomic oxygen and nitrogen. Surrounded by this high-temperature shock layer\, the vehicle heat shield experiences large heating rates and must simultaneously withstand high temperatures and intense surface chemistry driven by reactive atomic species. Furthermore\, as the shock-heated gas flows around the vehicle\, the flow can transition from smooth laminar flow to chaotic turbulent flow and can form complex shock interactions near control surfaces. Predicting such effects requires understanding the interplay between fluid dynamics\, thermodynamics\, and chemical kinetics\; a research field referred to as aerothermodynamics.\n\nIn this talk\, I will focus mainly on our current understanding of the high-temperature shock layer. I will explain how we have reached the point where this thin shock layer (often on the order of one centimeter thick) can be studied at the scale of individual molecular collisions. In fact\, simulations can now be performed where the only model input consists of the forces between atoms as dictated entirely by quantum chemistry. I will present results from such first-principles simulations along with comparison to experimental shock-tube data\, and I will discuss some of the new physical insights gained. I will conclude the talk by highlighting the next big challenge of pursuing molecular understanding for gas-material interactions. This is an exciting field driven not only by NASA and the Department of Defense\, but also by commercial endeavors to field satellite mega-constellations in low Earth orbit.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nTom Schwartzentruber received his Bachelor’s degree in engineering science and his Master’s degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Toronto. He then received his doctorate degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan. For his doctorate work he received the AIAA Orville and Wilbur Wright graduate award. He joined the faculty in the Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics department at the University of Minnesota in 2008\, after which he received a Young Investigator Program Award from the AFOSR and the University of Minnesota Taylor Career Development Award for exceptional contributions by a candidate for tenure. He specializes in particle simulation methods such as direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and molecular dynamics (MD)\, including coupling such methods with each other and with continuum computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. Currently\, his research group is involved in a number of projects spanning hypersonic nonequilibrium reacting flows\, high-temperature gas-surface interactions\, hybrid particle-continuum methods\, and micro-scale flows.

How have societies accorded value to those who undertake this potentially lifesaving work? By situating breastfeeding within the historiography of carework\, this talk will address these questions\, examining efforts directed at breastfeeding\, wet nursing\, and human milk donation in Brazil in the first half of the twentieth century. If Brazilian health officials in this period agreed that human milk was critical for infant survival\, they did not see the efforts of all nursing women as equally valuable. Meanwhile many nursing women challenged these ideas\, demanding recognition of their contributions.\n\nVictoria Langland is Associate Professor in the Departments of History and Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan. She is the author of Speaking of Flowers: Student Movements and the Making and Remembering of 1968 in Military Brazil (Duke University Press\, 2013) and the co-editor of The Brazil Reader: History\, Culture\, Politics\, 2nd edition\, (Duke University Press\, 2019)\, and Monumentos\, Memoriales y Marcas Territoriales (Siglo XXI\, 2003). Langland's current book project is a history of breastfeeding\, wet-nursing and human milk banking in Brazil that looks at how public policies\, national and transnational breastfeeding advocacy\, and the actions of breastfeeding women have transformed understandings and practices about infant nutrition and women’s roles over time. \n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

I’m not trying to alienate a reader\, or make someone think they can’t read it because they like more commercial things. I hope that there’s room for any sort of mind to encounter the book.”\n\nHer work has been translated into French\, Italian\, Spanish\, Dutch and German.

While the chemical and physical aspects of depression and other mental health disorders are far more complex than just feeling down\, current research supports a cognitive approach as a way to change patterns of brain functioning and build resilience in people struggling with chronic depression.\nThe program uses a combination of cognitive therapy and mindfulness to help participants form new\, healthier modes of thought. MBCT initiates a cognitive change that helps clients move past events that have the potential to trigger relapse. Participants learn how to view their thoughts without judgment.\nMBCT is about equipping participants with the ability to regulate one’s own thoughts and moods and to put new skills into practice in the way they are most useful to each client. MBCT helps flip the script in a way\, empowering participants\, helping them step into a well-fortified position and giving them the tools and the knowledge to help themselves at any stage of life.\nThe next session is scheduled to begin January 23\, 2020 and runs for eight weeks. Participants will meet weekly\, on Thursdays from 5-7:30 p.m. \nIf you are interested in attending or referring a potential group participant\, please contact the Psychological Clinic to begin the process. Call (734) 764-3471 and leave a message with the best time to reach you and we will be in touch within one to two business days to schedule a screening.

By “colliding” the cornerstone of classic text with African-American musical genres\, McElroy (with collaboration from a group of incredibly diverse Musical Theatre students) creates a new musical work that delves into the heart of the human experience--how we’ve grown\, and spaces where we can still explore change.\n\n“We are in a space and a time right now where we are so fractured\,” says McElroy. “What theatre has to do right now more than ever is to fill that void. People can come together to grapple with what they believe without feeling judged or confronted. Theater and music help us to explore the ways in which we are different but more importantly how at our core very much the same. How is Shakespeare's investigation of humanity in the 1600’s the same as what we grapple with today?”\n\nTo answer that question\, McElroy commissioned musical responses to Shakespeare’s sonnets and soliloquies from peers including Daniel Watts (Ike Turner from Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner Musical)\, Julianne Wick Davis (Jonathan Larson Award Winner)\, Crystal Monee Hall (Rent)\, Celisse Henderson (Godspell) Marcus Paul James (Ain’t Too Proud) and Allen Louis. Some musical responses include lines directly from Shakespeare’s text\; some\, like a Blues piece that’s the antithesis of the sonnet to which it responds\, turn the traditional language on its head. Original text interweaves with Shakespearean sonnets\, soliloquies\, and new musical works\, creating a song-cycle that highlights the throughlines of love\, loss\, hate\, time\, age\, and jealousy that tie us together.\n\n*This show was originally announced with the working title Being Alive.

It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions.

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.

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.

The successive cycles of urban transformation have created uneven\, landscapes which consist of fissures\, empty gaps and vacated spaces interspersed amongst and between developed zones of concentrated and thriving activities. The resulting leftover spaces are latent sites of contestation and uncertainty where rival actors compete for a semblance of control with their own visions of re-use ranging from spontaneous and temporary to deliberate and semi-permanent. \n\nOrganized around four different thematic sessions\, symposium participants will challenge the notion that all sites of abandonment suffer an identical fate. Examining these four regions as grounds for speculation and a platform for broader reflection engaging other global geographies\, participants will engage in discussions regarding the intricate relationship between the simultaneous\, incremental erasure of the built environment vis-a-vis ongoing urban projects that instigate\, appropriate\, produce and reproduce these weak urbanities while projecting more sustainable futures. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Seminar Series program at the Urban Studies Foundation (USF) and the University of Michigan Taubman College\, and is part of an interinstitutional initiative between the University of Michigan\, the University of Virginia\, and RWTH Aachen University.

But Charles Eisendrath has done both in his rich life. This is the memoir of a foreign correspondent and journalism mentor and yet a man who is spiritually rooted at his beloved Overlook Farm. The essays he has written about this life are a joy!”\n\nCharles R. Eisendrath grew up in St. Louis\, Missouri\, in a family that had vacationed in Charlevoix County since the 1890’s. One of the loves of his life is Overlook Farm near East Jordan\, Michigan\, which produces timber\, maple syrup\, and tart cherries. He is a passionate sportsman and canoeist. Many of those subjects are the focus of “Downstream from Here: A Big Life in a Small Place”. It is a collection of essays originally intended as a personal history to be shared with friends and family. It is a meditation on a life well lived\, a deep love of family\, and the love of a very specific place in the world. \n\nEisendrath was the first Director of the Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellowships at the University of Michigan. He is a Yale graduate\, a former Time magazine correspondent\, and founder of the Livingston Awards\, known as the Pulitzer Prize for journalists under 35 and known for providing early recognition for major talents.

DESCRIPTION:Catherine Lacey’s short story collection\, Certain American States (FSG\, 2018)\, portrays Americans tortured by the mundanity of their lives. The Chicago Tribune calls it \"exactly what you would expect from Lacey: perfect sentences\, penetrating insights\, devastating epiphanies.” \n\nLacey is also the author of The Answers (FSG\, 2017)\, a New York Times Top 10 Book of 2017\, and Nobody is Ever Missing (FSG\, 2014)\, a New Yorker Best Book of 2014. She has won a Whiting Award\, was a finalist for the NYPL's Young Lions Fiction Award\, was named one of Granta Magazine's Best Young American Novelists\, and has been compared to both Don DeLillo and Margaret Atwood. \n\nWriting about The Answers\, The Los Angeles Times said\, \"Like the work of Clarice Lispector or Rachel Cusk\, Lacey’s novels seem to be on the verge of inventing a new genre somewhere between prose poem and fugue state.\" Discussing The Answers with Interview Magazine\, Lacey notes\, “I want things to be both beautiful and readable. I’m not trying to alienate a reader\, or make someone think they can’t read it because they like more commercial things. I hope that there’s room for any sort of mind to encounter the book.” \n\nHer work has been translated into French\, Italian\, Spanish\, Dutch and German. With Forsyth Harmon\, she co-authored a nonfiction book\, The Art of the Affair. Her work has appeared in McSweeney’s Quarterly\, The Believer\, The Paris Review Daily\, The Atlantic\, and others. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64\, LLDHon ’13).

These two problems have been extensively studied and several multivariate tests have been proposed over the last thirty years\, many of which are based on geometric graphs. These include\, among several others\, the celebrated Friedman-Rafsky two-sample test based on the minimal spanning tree and the K-nearest neighbor graphs\, and the Bickel-Breiman spacings tests for goodness-of-fit. These tests are asymptotically distribution-free\, universally consistent\, and computationally efficient (both in sample size and in dimension)\, making them particularly attractive for modern statistical applications. \n\nIn this talk\, we will derive the detection thresholds and limiting local power of these tests\, thus providing a way to compare and justify the performance of these tests in various applications. Several interesting properties emerge\, such as a curious phase transition in dimension 8\, and a remarkable blessing of dimensionality in detecting scale changes.

Integrating specific active learning strategies into class can challenge higher order thinking and create experiences in which students can apply what they have learned. The key is to find an activity that helps students achieve their learning outcomes. For example\, do you need an activity to activate prior knowledge\, apply a concept\, challenge critical thinking\, or simply delve into course content? This seminar will help instructors think more deliberately about when\, why\, and how to use active learning.\n\nThis seminar is part of the Student Engagement Series & Panel Discussion. The series includes evidence-based learning activities and strategies to prepare students for learning\, engage in meaningful discussions and group work\, and capture attention with complementary activities during lectures. Instructors and staff who are looking for specific and practical ways to increase engagement or simply freshen up a course are welcome to attend. Refreshments will be served.

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.

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.

Many policymakers are embracing the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Vigorous debates are occurring over questions including:\n• Can renewables supply 100% of US electricity? 100% of all energy?\n• What role should existing nuclear plants play in a clean energy economy? New nuclear plants?\n• What role should carbon capture and storage play?\n• How fast should the US aim to transition to 100% clean energy? What are the key policy levers that could achieve this?\n• What roles should states\, cities\, and companies play in the clean energy transition?\n\nAnalysis and modeling of clean energy pathways can throw light on these questions. Everyone in the climate/energy policy community should understand how assumptions regarding the availability\, performance\, and integration of various technologies drive the energy\, environmental and economic implications of pathways to deep reductions in emissions. Implications for energy policy and R&D portfolios are also critical.\n\n\nDr. Karl Hausker leads analysis and modeling of climate mitigation\, electricity market design\, and the social cost of carbon. He led the Risky Business study of clean energy scenarios for the U.S.\, and lectures widely on deep decarbonization. He has led climate policy analysis and modeling projects for USAID\, USEPA\, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative\, the Western Climate Initiative\, and the California Air Resources Board. Much of his work has focused on the energy and transportation sectors\, and on low carbon\, climate resilient development strategies. From 2007-2013\, Karl was a Vice President at ICF International. His experience also includes: serving President Clinton as Deputy Assistant Administrator in EPA’s Policy Office where he represented EPA in interagency climate policy development and at COP-1\; and serving as the Chief Economist for the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources\, where he worked on a diverse set of issues including electricity restructuring\, CAFE standards\, alternative fuels\, western water policy\, nuclear power\, and energy security. Karl holds an M.P.P and Ph.D. in Public Policy from University of California\, Berkeley\, and received his Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Cornell University.\n\nSponsored by: The University of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP) and Global CO2 Initiative \n\nCo-sponsors: University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS)\, Graham Sustainability Institute\, and Center for Sustainable Systems\n\nFor more information contact closup@umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

Becoming Brokers: Explaining Thailand’s Growing Brand in Global Health DESCRIPTION:In areas ranging from universal healthcare to HIV prevention and access to medicine to health technology assessment and tobacco control\, Thailand’s public health programs have come to be regarded as a model for the industrializing world. How is it that a resource-constrained nation on the global periphery has produced model policies that are critical to public health and human life so consistently amid such political turmoil? What has led these policies to travel abroad? And more generally\, how has a small nation in Southeast Asia exercised such outsized influence in international affairs? Drawing on Fulbright-funded research with policymakers in Thailand and Geneva\, this project examines the roots of Thailand’s surprising success.\n \n Dr. Joseph Harris is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Boston University and conducts comparative and historical research that lies at the intersection of sociology\, public policy\, and global health. He is the author of Achieving Access: Professional Movements and the Politics of Health Universalism (Cornell University Press\, 2017). Dr. Harris has served as a consultant to the United Nations Development Programme and the World Bank\, most recently as Specialist on the Political Economy of Healthcare Reform for the Japan-World Bank Project on Universal Coverage. He is a past recipient of a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Award and the Henry Luce Scholarship and holds a Master’s in Public Affairs from Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He received his doctorate in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and served as Lecturer at the University of Chicago’s School of Public Policy Studies before joining the faculty at BU. In 2017\, Dr. Harris received the Gitner Award for Distinguished Teaching and a Fulbright Scholarship for a project that explores the diffusion of Thailand’s model public health policies abroad. He serves as Associate Editor at Social Science and Medicine.\n\n---\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

However\, its importance as a key case study for understanding how contact shaped the ancient world is proportional to the degree of controversy surrounding its interpretation. This has pitted traditional views of Aegean settlers as hegemonic conquerors of passive indigenous populations against postcolonial views of more complex processes of contact and integration. The most recent results of my two fieldwork projects in southern Italy bring new important data to this debate: (1) the excavation of the site of Incoronata\, an indigenous center with strong evidence of co-existence between newcomers and the local community\, allows us to identify how space\, beliefs and know-how were shared at the site\; (2) bioarcheological analyses conducted in the region provide us with much needed demographic information\, upending many of the assumptions held so far and opening up new questions. Both lines of research identify local agency as the main driver for these interaction dynamics.

The social efforts often reflect strong corporate citizenship cultures at these companies. Many engineers are seeking to work for companies that are engaging in these types of projects. During this seminar the speaker will highlight such efforts within a heavy manufacturing entity\, in this case the automotive sector. Such efforts can be easily aligned with potential efforts within the aerospace industry.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nJohn Viera was most recently the former Global Director\, Sustainability & Vehicle Environmental Matters at Ford Motor Company\, a position he held since January\, 2007. Mr. Viera was responsible for developing global sustainable business plans and policies\, interfacing with global regulatory bodies\, reporting externally on the company’s environmental and social performance\, and leading the company’s engagement and partnerships with non-government organizations (NGOs) and other external stakeholders.\n\nViera has held several positions within Ford Motor Company during his 30 year tenure. For the first thirteen years of his career\, he worked in the company’s Truck Division with responsibilities that included leading the Company efforts in the development of its first natural gas-fueled pickup trucks and also leading the Company’s Global Truck Computer Aided Design organization.\n\nIn 1997\, Viera was appointed manager\, Plant Engineering Vehicle Team\, Explorer and Mountaineer programs. Located in Louisville\, Kentucky\, Viera was responsible for all on-site engineering personnel for Explorer plants in Louisville\, St. Louis\, Missouri\, and Valencia\, Venezuela. He returned to Michigan in 1999 to become the chief engineer for the Ranger Compact Pickup and Electric Ranger. In 2002\, Viera took on the company’s mid-term cost reduction initiative\, building a team which delivered $1.2 billion of savings in eighteen months\, beating his assigned target by over a year. In 2003\, Viera became chief engineer for the Expedition and Navigator Full Size SUVs\, with complete responsibility for current and future model programs.\n\nMr. Viera recently served on the advisory boards at Georgia Tech in Atlanta\, the Graham Institute of Environmental Sustainability at the University of Michigan\, the advisory board of Sustainable Brands\, and the Energy Advisory Committee at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago\, as well as the chair of the Department of Homeland Security’s Sustainability and Efficiency Task Force in Washington\, D.C.\n\nA native of Chicago\, Viera attended the University of Michigan\, receiving his Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1984 as well as a Masters in Business Administration in 1992.

I focus on six crises--economic irrationality\, workplace disempowerment\, government unresponsiveness\, environmental degradation\, social disintegration\, and international conflict--and argue that the root cause of each lies in the capitalist nature of our economic system. I show why\, so long as the core of the economy remains capitalist\, neither voluntary corporate efforts nor government regulation can overcome these crises\, even if sometimes they can be somewhat mitigated. To overcome them\, we need to reorient production and investment to the needs of people and planet\, rather than leaving such decisions in the hands of the top managers of enterprises driven by the need for profits. We must assert democratic control over the management of society’s productive resources\, both within individual enterprises and across the entire national economy\n\nNo country has successfully implemented such a system in a way that would meet our expectations of democracy\, innovativeness\, efficiency\, and motivation\, but I argue that we can find something close to a working model in a surprising place--in the strategic management process used by some of our largest corporations. Many of these corporations operate internally like planned economies--coordinating their subunits’ production and investment through strategic management rather than relying on market-like competition among subunits--and in doing so\, they face many of the same challenges as socialist planning would. This experience yields valuable lessons for socialism\, because in some of these corporations\, the strategic management process is remarkably participative\, as well as delivering impressive levels of innovation\, efficiency\, and motivation.\n\nTheir success in this remains limited: under capitalist conditions\, participation is restricted\, the scope of strategy is largely limited to the individual firm\, and the profit imperative constrains choices. But if we socialize the ownership of our economy’s productive resources\, democratic councils at the local and national levels could use that strategic management process to decide on our collective economic\, environmental\, social\, and international goals and on how to reach them.\n\nSocialism is not a leap into the entirely unknown. Capitalist industry is building some of its material and managerial foundations.

Additionally\, these acknowledgments have often come alongside announcements of plans for exponential increases to that workforce\, which now represents a global network of laborers – in distinct geographic\, cultural\, political\, economic\, labor and industrial circumstances – conservatively estimated in the several tens of thousands and likely many times that. Yet the phenomenon of content moderation in social media firms has been shrouded in mystery when acknowledged at all. In this talk\, Sarah T. Roberts will discuss the fruits of her decade-long study the commercial content moderation industry\, and its concomitant people\, practices and politics. Based on interviews with workers from Silicon Valley to the Philippines\, at boutique firms and at major social media companies\, she will offer context\, history and analysis of this hidden industry\, with particular attention to the emotional toll it takes on its workers. The talk will offer insights about potential futures for the commercial internet and a discussion of the future of globalized labor in the digital age.\n\n\nSarah T. Roberts is an assistant professor of Information Studies at the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies\, specializing in Internet culture\, social media\, and the intersection of media\, technology and society. She is founding co-director\, along with Dr. Safiya Noble\, of the forthcoming UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry. \n\nRoberts researches information work and workers\, and is a leading global authority on “commercial content moderation\,” the term she coined to describe the work of those responsible for making sure media content posted to commercial websites fit within legal\, ethical\, and the site’s own guidelines and standards. She is frequently consulted on matters of policy\, worker welfare\, and governance related to content moderation issues and the broader social media landscape. \n\nShe is a 2018 Carnegie Fellow and winner of the 2018 EFF Barlow Pioneer Award in recognition of her work on commercial content moderation.

In Queer Kinship and Family Change in Taiwan\, Brainer looks across generational cohorts for clues about how larger social\, cultural\, and political shifts have materialized in people’s everyday lives. Her findings bring light to new parenting and family discourses and enduring inequalities that shape the experiences of queer and heterosexual kin alike.\n \nBrainer’s research takes her from political marches and support group meetings to family dinner tables in cities and small towns across Taiwan. She speaks with parents and siblings who vary in whether and to what extent they have made peace with having a queer or transgender family member\, and queer and trans people who vary in what they hope for and expect from their families of origin. Across these diverse life stories\, Brainer uses a feminist materialist framework to illuminate struggles for personal and sexual autonomy in the intimate context of family and home.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.\n\nThere will be an instant-win raffle at the beginning of the event for 5 free copies of the book!

As a consequence\, we show that our system can capture commonality between Focus-agreement in CVC and Subj.-Verb agreement in Standard Arabic discussed in Kinjo (2015).

As an architect\, she had a special interest in the influence of the architectural design on sound\, and this was the driving force behind wanting to study architectural acoustics. Her previous work includes designing innovative sound diffusers inspired by the cymatics phenomenon in which she explored some of the physical aspects of room acoustics. However\, the physical measurements do not precisely reflect the human acoustical experience. Therefore\, her study extends to include the perceptual and cultural aspects of acoustics\, providing a more integrated approach to understanding the aural experience. The physical aspect concentrates on analyzing sound propagation in space whereas the perceptual aspect centered on the psychological and physiological effects of sound and its relation to human cognition. The cultural aspect focuses on studying the role of the cultural background in sound perception and the role of social activities in shaping the soundscape of specific places. Hence\, her research aims at providing a new comprehensive method of analyzing the aural architecture of buildings by linking qualitative and quantitative methods\, studying the ways in which they interact\, and how they relate to the architectural design.

G2 manifolds are important in physics because they admit parallel spinors. It is of interest to construct compact examples with singularities. I will then give a survey of some of my work that is related to conical singularities of G2 manifolds\, including: desingularization\, deformation theory\, and a possible strategy to construct such G2 conifolds. This will include some (separate) joint works with Dominic Joyce and Jason Lotay. No previous exposure to G2 geometry will be assumed\, but the focus will be more mathematical than physical. I am hoping that some of you can teach me more physics during the day.
