In this talk\, I will highlight our group’s work on accurately capturing the fluid dynamics that takes place in the vicinity of finite-time singularities. The free surface flow algorithms and solvers that we develop and use rely on a sharp interface representation of phase boundaries. In the simulations\, we are able to analyze situations that involve disparate length scales that differ by up to seven orders of magnitude (commercial codes can handle about 2-3 orders and custom codes can capture at most 3-4 orders of magnitude disparity in length scales). The primary focus of the talk will be on simulations of the breakup of surfactant-covered filaments where I will pay special attention to the pinch-off singularity. I will also summarize some of our recent work on the pre- and post-coalescence singularities that arise when two drops or bubbles are driven together and made to merge into one. \n\nBio: Motivated by applications in ink jet printing\, separations\, production of emulsions\, dispersions\, and double-emulsions\, and drop-wise manufacturing\, Prof. Basaran’s research involves the use of a balanced approach based on computation\, theory\, and experiment to attack a number of fundamental issues that lie at the heart of such practical problems. Currently\, the research is organized along the following key themes.

At the atomic scale\, hydration modifies the structure and physical properties of minerals through associated defects. At mesoscopic scales water influences diffusion\, rheology and lattice preferred orientation. At geophysical scales\, water cycling through the solid mantle plays a critical role in melt generation\, plate tectonics\, and may have acted to buffer the volume of Earth’s oceans over geologic time. I will focus on recent laboratory experiments\, inclusions in diamond\, and seismological observations that reveal clues about the distribution and origin of water in our habitable planet.

Dating to the sixteenth century\, the stories—pir katha—are still widely read and performed today. The events that play out rival the fabulations of the Arabian Nights\, which has led them to be dismissed as simplistic folktales\, yet the work of these stories is profound: they provide fascinating insight into how Islam habituated itself into the cultural life of the Bangla-speaking world.\n\nTony K. Stewart is Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Chair in Humanities at Vanderbilt University and a specialist in the religions and literatures of early modern Bengal. His works include \"The Final Word: The Caitanya Caritāmṛta and the Grammar of Religious Tradition\,\" \"Fabulous Females and Peerless Pirs: Tales of Mad Adventure in Old Bengal\,\" and \"Witness to Marvels: Sufism and Literary Imagination.\"\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.

DESCRIPTION:RSVP Here!What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Esports”? A billion-dollar empire being built? Causes of addiction and violence? Having come a long way from video gaming\, Esports has evolved into a global phenomenon even though controversies persist.   Research shows that 65% of 8-12 years old teenagers play video games for more than 2 hours per day. About 41% of boys think they have spent too much time on video games. Being addicted to video games is only one of many reasons that people are against Esports. From many adults’ perspective\, violent\, bloody elements in video games are likely to negatively affect teenagers. Hence\, Esports is an industry bearing prejudice and stereotypes.However\, as a burgeoning industry\, Esports is gaining massive popularity across the globe in recent years. According to Newzoo\, revenues of the global Esports industry exceeded $1.1 billion in 2019\, which is an increase of 26.7% over the previous year. Asia-Pacific sees the highest proportion of Esports viewership (57%) and the major growth is being witnessed in China. North America is once again the largest Esports market where the major share is contributed by the United States. With more investors\, favorable policies\, and the potential access to the Olympics\, Esports\, a new era “gold rush” is redefining the world of games.   From game development\, to corporate social responsibility\, to higher education\, how should Esports navigate the controversies? What factors have contributed to the rise of Esports?

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.

Her husband of two years\, Juan\, whom she married to please her father and not for love\, has been unable to give her the child she desires.

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.

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.

Beyond Nature: Animism and Scale DESCRIPTION:Keynote Lecture by Catherine J. Allen\, The George Washington University: “Stones Who Love Me: miniaturization and animation in the Andes”\n \nIn an instruction manual for rural priests\, published in 1620\, the extirpator Pablo de Arriaga warned that\, among Andean “idolatries\,” the most difficult to destroy were those carried on privately within individual households. These practices concentrated on miniatures -- small stones in the shapes of\, llamas\, alpacas maize or potatoes. Far from being rooted out\, they continue in many Andean communities\, where certain small stone objects are thought to be intrinsically connected to powerful Places that control the vitality and reproduction of herd animals and crops. This illustrated lecture explores the animacy of these stones and compares them with other living stones in the Andean landscape that are said to have experienced a change in dimension at the moment of petrification. The analysis focuses on these shifts of dimensionality and enclosure in relation to the animacy of the Andean cosmos.\n \nDr. Allen is a sociocultural anthropologist interested in expressive culture and performance. She specializes in ethnography and ethnohistory and also experiments with modes of ethnographic writing and other modes of ethnographic representation.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207393@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It is a communal editing event that focuses on recognizing the accomplishments of women and non-binary people and collectives in arts and activism. There will be a talk and live DJ set by Detroit-based artist\, educator and community organizer\, Mother Cyborg. It is presented in partnership with the U-M Libraries.\n\nAbout Mother Cyborg\n\nBorn in Chicago\, raised in the small town of Frankfort\, Indiana\, transplanted to Detroit in 2008 38-year-old Diana Nucera is Mother Cyborg. Nucera’s day job involves working in accessible technology education\, and she has a background in teaching high school students in media and audio production and is the director of the Community Technology Project. Her stage name is Mother Cyborg. She DJs under the same name at her monthly gig at Temple Bar\, appropriately named Temple of Cyborg.\n\nDetroit has influenced the way in which she sees and think about the future\, mainly because people are working with what they have\, envisioning a future that they literally have to make themselves. Maybe it’s because she came out of the DIY punk movement\, but that feels good to her. She says\, “Let’s make our own future and not have Apple make it for us.”\n\nAbout the Feminist Futures: Art\, Design & Activism Event Series\n\nFeminist Futures: Art\, Design and Activism is an ongoing event series exploring the role of feminism in art\, design\, scholarship\, and politics. The series brings together multigenerational artists and thinkers in contemporary art\, design\, art history\, and related fields who have shaped\, and are shaping\, current discourses on gender and the fight for equality.\n\nFeminist Futures: Art\, Design & Activism Series is organized by Stamps Gallery and co-sponsored by the Center for the Education of Women+ (CEW+) Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund with support from the Institute for Research on Women & Gender (IRWG) and U-M Libraries.\n\nDesign by Ouliana Ermolova. \n\nPlease RSVP to reserve your place for this free event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ann-arbor-art-feminism-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-tickets-86153035047 UID:71058-17770761@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71058 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Workshop LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191004T181807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200222T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200222T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. 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:68063-16988503@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:20200222T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200222T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cullen Washington\, Jr.: The Public Square DESCRIPTION:This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington\, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series\, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

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

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-16390976@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191223T181639 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200222T111500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200222T120000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Storytime at the Museum DESCRIPTION:Storytime at the Museum promotes art enjoyment for our youngest patrons.

Most of you were probably studying\, playing video games\, or working up the courage to talk to your crush. In 1950\, South Korean students were either volunteering or being drafted into the Korean War\, to fight against a North Korean invasion. “Battle of Jangsari” highlights the role that a company of student soldiers played in enabling the Incheon beach landings\, by diverting North Korean military attention to Jangsari beach. Jangsari isn’t the first Korean movie to feature student soldiers (2010 hit 71: Into the Fire owns that honor) but it does tell a story of a battle that was previously hidden under the covers of national security.” –RICHARD YU\, Cinema Escapist\n\nCheck out Cinema Escapist’s full review here: https://www.cinemaescapist.com/2019/10/review-battle-of-jangsari/\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.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. On this tour\, explore the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan. \n\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors.

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.

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.

Representing concepts of time\, memory\, openness and constraint\, the pieces are created with traditional methods\, using scissors and simple die-cutting tools\; cross-disciplinary techniques\, such as weaving and tatting used in fiber arts\; and technologies like laser cutting machines. There are two series of paper nests: one created entirely without the use of adhesive\, and the other involves tatting with knots. Viewers are encouraged to contemplate\, find meaning and ultimately – hope.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

A proud Midwesterner\, she splits her time between studios in Chicago and Pentwater\, Michigan. She is recognized for her ethereal paintings and sculptural installations. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Parekh\, MD\, MPH\, argues that disease prevention must be our nation's top health policy priority. Building a personal culture of prevention\, he writes\, is not enough\; elected officials and policymakers must play a greater role in reducing preventable deaths. Drawing on his experiences as a clinician\, public servant\, and policy advisor\, Dr. Parekh provides examples of prevention in action from across the country\, giving readers a view into why prevention-first policies are important and how they can be accomplished. Throughout the book\, he demonstrates that\, in order to optimize health in America\, we must leverage health insurance programs to promote disease prevention\, expand primary care\, attend to the social determinants of health\, support making the healthier choice the easy choice for individuals\, and increase public health investments. Prevention First not only sounds the alarm about the terrible consequences of preventable disease but serves as a rallying cry that we can and must do better in this country to reduce preventable deaths.\n\nAnand Parekh is the Bipartisan Policy Center’s (BPC) chief medical advisor providing clinical and public health expertise across the organization\, particularly in the areas of aging\, prevention\, and global health. Prior to joining BPC\, he completed a decade of service at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. As deputy assistant secretary for health from 2008 to 2015\, he developed and implemented national initiatives focused on prevention\, wellness\, and care management. Parekh is a board-certified internal medicine physician\, a fellow of the American College of Physicians\, an adjunct assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University\, and an adjunct professor of health management and policy at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. He has spoken widely and written extensively on a variety of health topics such as chronic care management\, population health\, value in health care\, and the need for health and human services integration. A native of Michigan\, Parekh received a B.A. in political science\, an M.D.\, and an M.P.H. in health management and policy from the University of Michigan.

Despite some inconsistencies across studies\, few studies have explored the convergent\, discriminant\, and predictive validity of self-report and cognitive measures of these psychological characteristics in adolescence. The present study evaluated the convergent and discriminant validity of self-report and cognitive measures of reward sensitivity and self-regulation among 2017 adolescents (age M = 16.8\, SD = 1.1\; 56% female\; 55% White\, 22% Black\, 8% Hispanic\, 15% other race/ethnic\; 49% 10th grade and 51% 12th grade). This study compared the predictive validity of an omnibus measure and specific measures of risk engagement. Convergent and discriminant validity from self-report to cognitive tasks were as predicted\, although with weak convergent relationships. As hypothesized\, compared to cognitive tasks\, self-report measures consistently predicted risky behaviors and explained more variance in the models. These results demonstrate that while cognitive tasks can significantly predict certain risk behaviors\, they require increased power to find the very small effects\, raising questions about their use as implicit proxies for real world risk behavior.\n\nLolita Moss\n\nTitle: \nConnecting Media Use and Acceptance of Intimate Partner Violence Among Black Young Adults\n\nAbstract:\nAlthough scholars have found connections between mainstream media consumption and acceptance of intimate partner violence (IPV)\, little is known about the specific mechanisms that connect media use to endorsement of such violence. Understanding this connection is particularly relevant for Black Americans because Black women report higher rates of intimate partner violence than do White women (Al’Uqdah\, Maxwell\, & Hill\, 2016)\, and Black Americans consume more media than the general population (Rideout\, Lauricella\, & Wartella\, 2011). Accordingly\, this study tested these connections among Black adults\, investigating contributions of their consumption of movies\, music videos\, and 52 popular television programs to their acceptance of dating violence. Our survey of 369 Black young adults also tested three potential mediators using SEM: sexual objectification\, heterosexual script\, and two stereotypes about Black women\, the Sapphire and the Jezebel. Results from parallel mediation analyses indicated that heavier exposure to all three media predicted higher levels of the three mediators\, which in turn predicted greater acceptance of IPV.

Black-White Differences in Pregnancy Desire and Pregnancy DESCRIPTION:PSC Brown Bag Series presents Jennifer Barber:\n\nThis talk draws from two papers\, one that investigates whether Black and white women's desires for pregnancy are different during the transition to adulthood\, and another that investigates whether Black women who have a strong desire to postpone pregnancy are less likely to see those desires fulfilled than their white peers. The papers draw from Arline Geronimus' weathering framework and Linda Burton's ideas about uncertainty and instability in the Black community to understand Black-white differences in desires for young pregnancy\, alongside Warren Miller's Traits-Desires-Intentions-Behavior framework to understand why some women are more likely than others to get what they want in terms of childbearing. Both papers use the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life dataset\, which followed a sample of 914 young women ages 18 and 19 with weekly survey interviews for 2.5 years. The analyses also draw from 60 semi-structured interviews with a sub-sample of these women\, in which interviewers discussed the women's desires and plans for their future\, including childbearing.\n\nWe demonstrate that (1) Although young Black women are significantly more likely than young White women to express ambivalence or indifference toward a pregnancy in the near future\, those feelings are very rarely expressed by women in either group\; (2) Black women experience a smaller reduction in the risk of pregnancy when they do not desire to become pregnant compared to White women\; and (3) This Black-White disparity is in part because Black women are more likely than White women to think their intimate partner wants them to get pregnant\, which is in turn associated with less contraceptive use.\n\nOther researchers' interpretations of higher rates of undesired pregnancy among Black women as evidence that they do not want to plan their pregnancies may exacerbate racial disparities in undesired pregnancy by facilitating White women's childbearing desires more than Black women's childbearing desires. In contrast\, we conclude that it is likely that many Black women who say they want to delay pregnancy really do want to delay pregnancy\, but are unable to do so.\nBIO:\n\nJennifer Barber is Professor of Sociology and Research Professor in the Population Studies Center at University of Michigan. In Fall 2020\, she will be Professor of Sociology and Senior Scientist at the Kinsey Institute\, Indiana University. Barber's research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of family sociology\, demography\, and social psychology\, with a focus on young/teen pregnancy\, intimate relationships\, reproductive control\, and intimate partner violence. Her program of research has been continuously funded by NICHD for twenty years. She recently completed an intensive longitudinal data collection project\, the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life (RDSL) study\, which collected weekly surveys from 1\,000 18- and 19-year-old women for 2.5 years\, along with 75+ semi-structured interviews and administrative data. The RDSL focuses on the types of attitudes\, intimate relationships\, and contraceptive practices that lead to young pregnancy. Barber's work using these data integrates statistical and qualitative analyses. Her current projects focus on (1) how violent and/or demanding intimate partners derail young women's post-secondary education plans\, (2) how the dissolution of violent and non-violent intimate relationships during the transition to adulthood varies across demographic groups\, and (3) how intimate relationships shape young women's expectations and ability to control heterosexual intercourse and contraceptive use\n\nPSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

With an increase in postcolonial migrations – whether forced\, voluntary\, or in between – of individuals and communities from the Global South to the Global North\, has colonialism’s unidirectional plunder under the guise of a “civilizing mission” now given way to immigrants of color being framed as invaders\, pollutants\, and burdens on the state in order to maintain discursive hierarchies of race\, social class\, and nation? In this post/colonial era\, what\, then\, is the relationship between immigrant vulnerability and gender violence?\n\nIn the United States\, a plethora of individuals and institutions have advocated for the rights of vulnerable immigrants\, resulting in Acts such as VAWA and related remedial measures for low income victims of gender-based violence (including domestic violence and sexual assault.) What are some of the strengths and challenges of these legal mechanisms? With many citizen female victims of violence already ending up as defendants in the criminal justice system\, where does it leave vulnerable immigrant women\, especially in cases where the perpetrators are not “their” men but members of an elite white citizenry? What about the immigrant men of color\, who are already framed as violent in the nation’s political imagination? And transgender and queer immigrants - even more marginalized\, seldom talked about? In other words\, can the gender\, race\, social class\, and immigration status of victims and perpetrators of gender-based violence have an impact on legal outcomes? As the nation debates its immigration policies\, what services can local and national organizations for survivors of gender violence offer\, in more practical terms\, to immigrants and vulnerable others?\n\nThe 3 panelists of this small 2-hour symposium will address the above interdisciplinary themes in their presentations. The discussion will be followed by audience Q+&A and an Indian dinner. The event will be free and open to the public.

Since the galactic cosmic rays do not point back to their sources we must search for other clues of their origins\, and some handles on this are their energy spectra and their detailed elemental and isotopic compositions. The predecessor TIGER instrument made preliminary measurements of UHCR abundances resolving individual elements from 30Zn to 40Zr with two Antarctic flights (2001-2002\, 2003-2004) totaling ~50 days. These data support a model of galactic cosmic-ray origins with a dominant contribution from OB association massive star clusters where the source material is enhanced by the outflow and super nova ejecta of these stars (~20%)\, and in which the more refractory elements that condense into dust grains are preferentially accelerated (~4x) over the volatile ones found as gas. SuperTIGER is over four times the size of TIGER\, and with its first 55 day Antarctic flight (2012-2013) confirmed the TIGER findings through 40Zr with good statistics\, and with the inclusion of data from a second flight (2019-2020) will extend preliminary UHCR abundance measurements through around 56Ba. Our UHCR observations to date show the galactic cosmic-ray source is enhanced by massive star products over solar system (~5 billion year old ISM)\, which means this comparatively fresh sample of galactic material can shed light on which heavier elements are significant products of massive stars and their associated supernova (SN) nucleosynthesis. This could help provide constraints on models for the synthesis of heavy elements in binary neutron star mergers (BNSM)\, for which evidence has been observed in ejected material seen in optical observations following LIGO event GW170817. BNSM are rarer than SN by several orders of magnitude or more\, and are unlikely to have contributed to the observed fluxes of the UHCR. I will present on the SuperTIGER science\, and the unique challenges and charms of scientific ballooning in Antarctica.\n UID:71016-17768617@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71016 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191218T151250 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200224T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200224T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Honors Stowe Lectures DESCRIPTION:Derek Thompson is a staff writer at The Atlantic\, where he covers economics and culture.

Catastrophic Thinking in Science and Culture: Geo-Eschatology and the Anthropocene DESCRIPTION:The specter of extinction looms large in the late-modern Western psyche. As a cultural \"imaginary\,\" extinction is perhaps the distinctive post-WWII anxiety. Since the 1950s\, visions of nuclear annihilation\, mass famine\, environmental collapse\, biodiversity loss\, and other self-inflicted catastrophes have haunted literature\, art\, film\, popular media\, and political discourse as central preoccupations. Indeed\, one of the main imagined consequences of the ongoing climate crisis is the production of a \"Sixth Extinction\"--a collapse of biological diversity that may rival the great mass extinctions of the geological past and threaten the future of human civilization. \n\nNot coincidentally\, the second half of the 20th century also saw a dramatic revival among geologists and paleontologists of theories involving catastrophic mass extinctions as central agents in the history of life. This talk will explore the interpenetration of these scientific and cultural discourses during the 20th century. In particular\, I will argue that our current cultural fascination with the so-called Anthropocene is a direct consequence of the fusion of the geological and the eschatological meanings of extinction: extinction thinking may in fact be the bridge between the deep past and imagined future of our species and our planet. \n \nDavid Sepkoski is the Thomas M. Siebel Chair in History of Science and Professor in the Department of History at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign. He has published widely on histories of biology\, the earth and environmental sciences\, and data. His most recent book is Catastrophic Thinking: Extinction and the Value of Diversity from Darwin to the Anthropocene.
