Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat\, the clothes we wear\, our homes\, our cars\, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers\, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist\, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

This exhibition of photographic works from 12 U.S. National Parks captures both iconic and unique landscape scenes. Gaynor chooses subjects that have a sense of solace and rejuvenation. One of his goals is to give the viewer an opportunity to imagine what it would be like to be the one looking through the camera lens while composing and capturing an image. He hopes to evoke emotions\, memories\, and a desire to witness firsthand the beauty of the National Parks. Recently he has been invited to participate in numerous juried art exhibitions\, expanding his passion to pursue exhibiting throughout the Midwest. \nGifts of Art Gallery – Rogel Cancer Center\, Level 1. \n\n1500 E.

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

Her films are brilliant\, intimate portraits that explore the weight of social institutions and social injustice placed upon the shoulders of her characters. Her lead characters\, typically women\, must balance their needs with those of others in order to find their true voice. This U-M student-curated exhibit is the result of a semester-long course devoted to her films and career.\n\nSavoca contributed her papers — spanning her career as a director\, producer\, and screenwriter — to the Screens Arts Mavericks & Makers collection at the U-M Library. Her archive represents nearly three decades of indie filmmaking\, and includes notes\, notebooks\, photos\, and script drafts.\n\nSee the symposium schedule for Character Driven: Exploring the Career and Archives of Nancy Savoca: https://www.lib.umich.edu/announcements/symposium-celebrates-filmmaker-nancy-savoca UID:63404-15669596@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63404 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Film,Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery (Room 100) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181030T122003 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190619T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190619T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Undergrad Summer Institute- Transforming Analytical Learning in the Era of Big Data DESCRIPTION:This full-time 6-week summer institute will introduce undergraduate students to emerging challenges at the intersection of Big Data\, Statistics\, and Human Health.\n\nLectures will be led by a diverse group of stellar biostatistics\, statistics\, electrical engineering\, and computer science faculty at the University of Michigan.

Several alternatives have been proposed – the fraction of missing information (FMI)\, R-Indicators\, subgroup response rates\, etc. This course will explore the use of these indicators as guides for data collection when working within an RSD framework. We also explore optimization techniques that may be useful when designing a survey to maximize these alternative indicators. The consequences of optimizing a survey to other indicators will be explored. We will also consider how the response rate fits into this approach. We will end with a brief discussion of methods for post data collection evaluation of data quality.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-15765602@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190218T155943 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190619T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190619T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introduction to Applied Questionnaire Design DESCRIPTION:This course provides students with practice applying principles of question design. Students leave the course with tools to use in diagnosing problems in survey questions and writing their own survey questions. The lecture provides guidelines for writing and revising survey questions and using troubled questions from surveys as examples for revision. Each day's session combines lecture with group discussion and analysis. For some class activities\, students work in small groups to apply lecture material to identify problems in the survey questions and propose solutions. Assignments require that students write new questions or revise problematic questions and administer them to fellow students. Sessions consider both questions about events and behaviors and questions about subjective phenomena (such as attitudes\, evaluations\, and internal states).\n\n20 Ways to Test Your Survey Questions is a course that complements well with this class.

Application of the scientific principles underlying surveys depends on good understanding of theories and empirical research from disciplines such as psychology\, sociology\, statistics and computer science. A set of principles and empirical research will be introduced through the Total Surevy Error (TSE) framework. The principles include problem and hypothesis formulation\, study design\, sampling\, questionnaire design\, interviewing techniques\, pretesting\, modes of data collection and data cleaning\, management\, and analysis. Students will be trained to determine major steps in data collection design and implementation and to refer to literature to justify the steps. The course will also discuss team and project management in the content of survey research\, identifying skillsets and technical language required. The course will also provide training in an important subset of skills needed to conduct a survey form beginning to end.

This is especially true for designs that repeat measurement over several time periods. However\, these relatively low-cost data collections may result in reduced data quality if the problem of nonresponse is ignored. This course will examine methods for using RSD to effectively deploy scarce resources in order to minimize the risk of nonresponse bias. Recent experience with the University of Michigan Campus Climate Survey and the National Survey of College Graduates is used to illustrate this point. These surveys are defined by phased designs and multiple modes of contact. This approach produced relatively high response rates and used alternative contact methods in later phases to recruit sample members from subgroups that were less likely to respond in earlier phases. In the case of the UM-CCS all of this was accomplished on a very small budget and with a small management team. Lessons from these experiences can be directly applied in many similar settings.

Survey Methodology for Randomized Controlled Trails does not have the remote participation option.\n\n\nTopics covered: The effective treatment and management of a wide variety of health disorders often requires individualized\, sequential decision making whereby treatment is adapted over time based on the changing disease state or specific circumstances of the patient. Adaptive interventions (also known as dynamic treatment regimens) operationalize this type of individualized treatment decision making using a sequence of decision rules that specify whether\, how\, for whom\, or when to alter the intensity\, type\, or delivery of pharmacological\, behavioral\, and/or psychosocial treatments. There has been a huge surge of scientific interest in constructing adaptive interventions via the sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design. SMART is a type of multi-stage randomized trial design\, developed specifically for the purpose of collecting high-quality data for building optimal adaptive interventions. SMARTs are still new to the great majority of behavioral and social science investigators. In this course\, we will introduce adaptive interventions\, SMART (including simple design principle\, cutting-edge analytic methods (e.g.\, Q-Learning) for SMART data\, and discuss how these ideas can guide responsive and adaptive survey designs.

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

Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-14511188@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15883987@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper\, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds\, caterpillars\, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies\, which rain melted ice cream\, whipped topping\, candies\, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations\, the flowers and plants begin to decay\, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America\, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Yet\, his images decidedly foreground the complicated visual circumstances of our contemporary moment and provoke us to consider this imagined and oversaturated world as analogous to our own.\n\nSupport for Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit\, Amelia and Eliot Relles\, and the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

Religious and ritual objects\, on the other hand\, stimulate an array of multi-sensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism\, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition.\n \nSix senses are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight\, hearing\, smell\, touch\, taste\, and mind (or the activity of thinking\, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements\; the fragrance of incense\; the feel of bronze\, ceramic\, and silk\; and the creation of mental images. Our goal for visitors is to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek\, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history\, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence.

Her sculptural paper tapestries can be installed in a number of different ways\, reflecting the impermanence of this world. LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile\, yet it is also pliable\, absorbs color beautifully\, and is very strong. LeBreton particularly loves papermaking because of the calm that comes from the repeating forms in the process\, and she appreciates working with water for its beauty\, sensuality and healing qualities.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat\, the clothes we wear\, our homes\, our cars\, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers\, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist\, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

Students leave the course with tools to use in diagnosing problems in survey questions and writing their own survey questions. The lecture provides guidelines for writing and revising survey questions and using troubled questions from surveys as examples for revision. Each day's session combines lecture with group discussion and analysis. For some class activities\, students work in small groups to apply lecture material to identify problems in the survey questions and propose solutions. Assignments require that students write new questions or revise problematic questions and administer them to fellow students. Sessions consider both questions about events and behaviors and questions about subjective phenomena (such as attitudes\, evaluations\, and internal states).\n\n20 Ways to Test Your Survey Questions is a course that complements well with this class.

Application of the scientific principles underlying surveys depends on good understanding of theories and empirical research from disciplines such as psychology\, sociology\, statistics and computer science. A set of principles and empirical research will be introduced through the Total Surevy Error (TSE) framework. The principles include problem and hypothesis formulation\, study design\, sampling\, questionnaire design\, interviewing techniques\, pretesting\, modes of data collection and data cleaning\, management\, and analysis. Students will be trained to determine major steps in data collection design and implementation and to refer to literature to justify the steps. The course will also discuss team and project management in the content of survey research\, identifying skillsets and technical language required. The course will also provide training in an important subset of skills needed to conduct a survey form beginning to end.

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

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15883988@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper\, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds\, caterpillars\, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies\, which rain melted ice cream\, whipped topping\, candies\, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations\, the flowers and plants begin to decay\, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America\, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Yet\, his images decidedly foreground the complicated visual circumstances of our contemporary moment and provoke us to consider this imagined and oversaturated world as analogous to our own.\n\nSupport for Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit\, Amelia and Eliot Relles\, and the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

Religious and ritual objects\, on the other hand\, stimulate an array of multi-sensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism\, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition.\n \nSix senses are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight\, hearing\, smell\, touch\, taste\, and mind (or the activity of thinking\, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements\; the fragrance of incense\; the feel of bronze\, ceramic\, and silk\; and the creation of mental images. Our goal for visitors is to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

Started off as a theoretical tool to understand quantum information in a black hole its impact quickly expanded to a wide variety of subjects including quantum chaos\, many-body localization\, quantum integrability and recently symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions. After giving a short introduction to information scrambling and out-of-time-order correlators\, I will talk about the emergent relation between symmetry breaking quantum phase transitions and the information scrambling. I will introduce a new theoretical tool to study the physics encoded in an OTOC: dynamical decomposition method. I will show how this tool lets us analytically see the reasons and the mechanism of dynamical detection of symmetry-broken quantum phases via OTOCs. Based on the studies in literature and our numerical results in XXZ-model\, our method seems to be universal in explaining the reasoning behind the relation between scrambling and the quantum criticality. If time permits\, I will talk about an interesting numerical observation that led us to find a relation between the topological order (in 1D superconductor) at zero temperature and the OTOCs at infinite temperature.

The group has a strong stage presence and demonstrates a contagious pleasure in each and every performance\, drawing the audience to them. The group has already performed in major cities and small towns in Canada\, the US\, Europe\, the UK and Australia\, and Africa\, amassing a wealth of impressive experience in a short time. The group’s sound is a seamless blend of their strong folk upbringing and North American influences that range from old-time to jazz\, with some provocative and moody effects. Their adaptations of traditional songs from Quebec\, Brittany\, and Louisiana speak eloquently to their generation while retaining the beauty of timeless music. Fiddle\, guitar\, lap steel\, banjo\, mandolin\, piano\, bass and foot percussion form a rich and varied backdrop for their inventive arrangements. Les Poules à Colin reveal a unique and modern perspective on traditional Québec culture.

This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer.

Some works she created to reach out to a greater power\, while others honor a particular person or joyful time. Her sculptural paper tapestries can be installed in a number of different ways\, reflecting the impermanence of this world. LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile\, yet it is also pliable\, absorbs color beautifully\, and is very strong. LeBreton particularly loves papermaking because of the calm that comes from the repeating forms in the process\, and she appreciates working with water for its beauty\, sensuality and healing qualities.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat\, the clothes we wear\, our homes\, our cars\, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers\, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist\, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

RSD uses evidence from early phases of data collection to make design decisions for later phases. Beginning in the 2018 Summer Institute\, we will offer a series of eleven one-day short courses in RSD techniques.\n\n*Remote participation option: It is not necessary to be physically in Ann Arbor to participate in these workshops. Students who cannot be in Ann Arbor can enroll and join sessions via BlueJeans (https://www.bluejeans.com/). Once enrollment is confirmed via email\, indicate if course attendance will be in person\, in Ann Arbor or via BlueJeans. Survey Methodology for Randomized Controlled Trails does not have the remote participation option.\n\nTopics covered: This course will discuss a variety of potential RSD interventions. Many of these have been implemented experimentally\, and the course will include evaluations of those experiments. The importance of experimental evaluations in early phases of RSD will be discussed. Methods for implementing interventions will also be discussed\, including implementation of experiments aimed at evaluating new interventions. Strategies for implementing these interventions with both interviewer-mediated and self-administered (e.g.\, web and mail) surveys will be discussed. Methods for the evaluation of the results of the interventions (experimental and otherwise) will be considered. These evaluations will include measures of both costs and errors.

Students leave the course with tools to use in diagnosing problems in survey questions and writing their own survey questions. The lecture provides guidelines for writing and revising survey questions and using troubled questions from surveys as examples for revision. Each day's session combines lecture with group discussion and analysis. For some class activities\, students work in small groups to apply lecture material to identify problems in the survey questions and propose solutions. Assignments require that students write new questions or revise problematic questions and administer them to fellow students. Sessions consider both questions about events and behaviors and questions about subjective phenomena (such as attitudes\, evaluations\, and internal states).\n\n20 Ways to Test Your Survey Questions is a course that complements well with this class.

Application of the scientific principles underlying surveys depends on good understanding of theories and empirical research from disciplines such as psychology\, sociology\, statistics and computer science. A set of principles and empirical research will be introduced through the Total Surevy Error (TSE) framework. The principles include problem and hypothesis formulation\, study design\, sampling\, questionnaire design\, interviewing techniques\, pretesting\, modes of data collection and data cleaning\, management\, and analysis. Students will be trained to determine major steps in data collection design and implementation and to refer to literature to justify the steps. The course will also discuss team and project management in the content of survey research\, identifying skillsets and technical language required. The course will also provide training in an important subset of skills needed to conduct a survey form beginning to end.

During a 23-year career with the Clements\, Brian Dunnigan has served as curator of maps\, head of research and publications\, associate director\, and acting director.

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

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about.

In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper\, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds\, caterpillars\, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies\, which rain melted ice cream\, whipped topping\, candies\, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations\, the flowers and plants begin to decay\, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America\, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Yet\, his images decidedly foreground the complicated visual circumstances of our contemporary moment and provoke us to consider this imagined and oversaturated world as analogous to our own.\n\nSupport for Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit\, Amelia and Eliot Relles\, and the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

Religious and ritual objects\, on the other hand\, stimulate an array of multi-sensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism\, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition.\n \nSix senses are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight\, hearing\, smell\, touch\, taste\, and mind (or the activity of thinking\, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements\; the fragrance of incense\; the feel of bronze\, ceramic\, and silk\; and the creation of mental images. Our goal for visitors is to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek\, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history\, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence.

LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile\, yet it is also pliable\, absorbs color beautifully\, and is very strong.

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

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15883990@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper\, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds\, caterpillars\, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies\, which rain melted ice cream\, whipped topping\, candies\, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations\, the flowers and plants begin to decay\, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America\, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Yet\, his images decidedly foreground the complicated visual circumstances of our contemporary moment and provoke us to consider this imagined and oversaturated world as analogous to our own.\n\nSupport for Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit\, Amelia and Eliot Relles\, and the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

Religious and ritual objects\, on the other hand\, stimulate an array of multi-sensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism\, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition.\n \nSix senses are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight\, hearing\, smell\, touch\, taste\, and mind (or the activity of thinking\, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements\; the fragrance of incense\; the feel of bronze\, ceramic\, and silk\; and the creation of mental images. Our goal for visitors is to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek\, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history\, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence.

Her sculptural paper tapestries can be installed in a number of different ways\, reflecting the impermanence of this world. LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile\, yet it is also pliable\, absorbs color beautifully\, and is very strong. LeBreton particularly loves papermaking because of the calm that comes from the repeating forms in the process\, and she appreciates working with water for its beauty\, sensuality and healing qualities.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15883991@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

In this immersive installation of photographs and wallpaper\, Michigan-based photographer Jason DeMarte weaves together detailed images of fauna (birds\, caterpillars\, and moths) and flora (local plants and flowers). Each scene is set against ominous cloudy skies\, which rain melted ice cream\, whipped topping\, candies\, and glossy paint. Overburdened with decorations\, the flowers and plants begin to decay\, leaving the birds and insects unable to survive for long in this overly sweet environment. DeMarte’s illusionistic landscapes recall the long tradition of still life painting in Europe and America\, and a rich history of fantasy environments represented in literature and film—from Alice’s Wonderland to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Yet\, his images decidedly foreground the complicated visual circumstances of our contemporary moment and provoke us to consider this imagined and oversaturated world as analogous to our own.\n\nSupport for Jason DeMarte: Garden of Artificial Delights is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit\, Amelia and Eliot Relles\, and the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism\, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition.\n \nSix senses are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight\, hearing\, smell\, touch\, taste\, and mind (or the activity of thinking\, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements\; the fragrance of incense\; the feel of bronze\, ceramic\, and silk\; and the creation of mental images. Our goal for visitors is to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-15765606@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190430T125119 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190623T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190623T131500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Scientist in the Forum DESCRIPTION:Join a University of Michigan researcher in the Science Forum for a special peek into cutting-edge research.

Using both original material and standards from many genres they have arranged in a personal style\, the group finds new depth in the simplicity of the duo. Jacob Warren plays double bass\, while Grant Flick plays violin\, tenor guitar and mandolin. Currently based out of Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, the two met at the 2015 Acoustic Music Seminar (AMS)\, a program accepting only sixteen young string players from around the world to participate in a week of intense improvisation\, composition\, and performance training. A part of the Savannah Music Festival in Georgia\, AMS is led by multi-instrumentalist Mike Marshall with the help of guitarist Julian Lage.\n \nAfter discovering their shared musical interests\, Jacob and Grant began collaborating as a duo as well as in larger projects including The Leafless and Westbound Situation\, both comprised of former AMS participants. Jacob and Grant attend University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre\, & Dance\, where they spend much of their time arranging\, composing and performing together. With Jacob’s classical foundation and Grant’s experience in bluegrass and jazz\, their contrasting backgrounds give them a unique and compelling musical narrative. ​ Find them on Facebook.\n\n UID:63441-15696246@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63441 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Dance,Family,Festival,Museum,Music,seminar,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190507T091337 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190623T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190623T141500 SUMMARY:Presentation:The Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:New planetarium shows and live Star Talks will take visitors beyond space to explore the oceans' reefs\, Earth’s geology\, weather\, and more\, all with surround sound and in new\, comfortable seats!

Out of the heart of the Midwest\, two veteran Michigan duos join forces in a new quartet/quintet: Diamonds in the Rust. In what began simply as an idea to tour together\, Annie & Rod Capps and Jan Krist & Jim Bizer (along with percussionist/composer Alan Finkbeiner) have formed a new band. With each member already well known for performing prowess\, the new group promises to be that much more. Everyone sings\, everyone plays multiple instruments\, and the band boasts a trio of respected\, award-winning songwriters. The repertoire also includes a few choice selections from the rich musical history of the place where they grew and learned their craft. Perhaps best of all is the palpable joy and camaraderie that happens between good musicians who are also good friends. Says Rich Warren of WFMT Chicago's Folkstage: \"They obviously love performing together and their diverse and skilled writing styles come to life with their upbeat and convincing performance.\" UID:61738-15178982@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61738 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190708T120008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190624T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190624T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Henley Royal Regatta DESCRIPTION:Race UID:64086-16260500@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64086 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Henley, England CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190531T154843 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190624T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190624T235900 SUMMARY:Other:Research Scholars Applications Open DESCRIPTION:Want to return to research for the Fall 2019-Winter 2020 Academic Year?

It is home to the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse\, the oldest lighthouse in Michigan. Where the water was too deep to construct a physical lighthouse\, we find the Huron Lightship\, an anchored “floating lighthouse.” \n\nThe Carnegie Center\, also known as the Port Huron Museum\, is proud to display the largest ship model collection throughout Michigan. The Museum is home to objects and archival items relating to pre-history\, history\, and culture of the Blue Water area. \n\nThomas Edison spent much of his childhood in Port Huron. The Thomas Edison Depot Museum was established inside the very depot where Edison worked as a news reporter from 1860 to 1863. It stands directly behind the Blue Water Bridge and contains hands-on exhibits of his experiments and inventions. \n\nPlan to join us on this upcoming summer-day treat. Lunch will be at Freighters Restaurant. Box dinners\, prepared by Freighters\, will be available on the bus on the return trip to Ann Arbor. Closed toe shoes are required for the tour.\n\nRegistrants for this trip can attend the pre-trip event\, “The Michigan Lighthouse Landmark Legacy” on May 29 free\, but they must still register for the event.\n\nThe price of the trip includes bus transportation\, lunch\, snacks\, gratuities.\n\nThis trip for those 50 and over will take place on Tuesday\, August 6 from 7:30 a.m. to 6:45 p.m.\, however you must register for the trip early and there are no refunds without replacements inside 30 days of trip departure.\n\nPlease see the OLLI Web Site for additional information.

This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece\, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt\, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek\, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history\, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

Some works she created to reach out to a greater power\, while others honor a particular person or joyful time. Her sculptural paper tapestries can be installed in a number of different ways\, reflecting the impermanence of this world. LeBreton lives and works in Chicago and has been working with handmade paper for ten years. She enjoys its surprising properties: it is light and appears fragile\, yet it is also pliable\, absorbs color beautifully\, and is very strong. LeBreton particularly loves papermaking because of the calm that comes from the repeating forms in the process\, and she appreciates working with water for its beauty\, sensuality and healing qualities.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.
