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.

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:63803-15884002@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.

Working at the turn of the twentieth century\, Schiele challenged the classical conventions of the day producing emotionally charged—often unsettling—drawings and watercolors depicting landscapes\, portraits\, and nudes. Two retired U-M professors recently gifted four works of art by Schiele to UMMA. Throughout their lifetimes\, Frances McSparran (English language and literature) and the late Ernst Pulgram (Romance and classical linguistics) collected over forty Austrian and German Expressionist works\, donating many of them to the Museum. The three watercolors and one drawing on view in this special installation complement the couple’s previous gifts of works by Schiele and his contemporaries Oskar Kokoschka\, George Grosz\, and Gustav Klimt\, reuniting these important works that together provide important insights into this tumultuous period in European history.        \n\n UID:63428-15694153@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63428 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Language,Literature,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Connector CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190523T121533 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190707T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190707T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Six Senses of Buddhism DESCRIPTION:Art museums generally give primacy to the sense of sight. 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.

More than thirty-five international artists\, including Sammy Baloji\, Liu Bolin\, Dana Levy\, Mary Mattingly\, Pedro Neves Marques\, Gabriel Orozco\, Trevor Paglen\, and Thomas Struth\, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness\, wonder\, and curiosity about the world to come.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \n  \n\nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith\, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art.

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.

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.

First\, this class gives an equal amount of attention to both probability and non-probability sampling methods as non-probability sampling cannot be discussed meaningfully without understanding probability sampling and these two methods offer distinctive advantages and disadvantages. Second\, this class will combine theoretical/conceptual parts of sampling through lectures and practical applications of different approaches through lab sessions.\n\nThe course will start with examining probability sampling techniques and their properties\, including simple random selection\, systematic selection\, cluster sampling\, stratified sampling\, and probability proportionate to size selection. Issues of weighting to compensate for unequal chances of selection and variance estimation for calculating confidence intervals are also examined. Then the wide variety of non-probability sampling methods are examined\, from panel-based convenience samples\, to river samples\, quota samples\, respondent-driven samples\, and other techniques. The properties of these samples are discussed\, and assumptions needed to obtain estimates are examined. We will also examine these two approaches from the total survey error perspectives.\n\nThe lab sessions to be held after each class will combine R programming and group discussions on the topics that need to be considered when implementing various sampling approaches. Hands-on examples of frame preparation\, sample draws\, post-survey adjustments and analysis specific to design will be provided and discussed.\n\nThe course is not designed to provide the mastery of survey sampling. Rather\, it provides materials that will accommodate participants to become familiar with advantages and disadvantages of the two methods and their implementation which will allow them to make informed design decisions.

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.

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:59301-15765622@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:20190219T123132 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190709T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190709T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introduction to Questionnaire Design DESCRIPTION:This course provides an overview of the art and science of questionnaire design.

First\, this class gives an equal amount of attention to both probability and non-probability sampling methods as non-probability sampling cannot be discussed meaningfully without understanding probability sampling and these two methods offer distinctive advantages and disadvantages. Second\, this class will combine theoretical/conceptual parts of sampling through lectures and practical applications of different approaches through lab sessions.\n\nThe course will start with examining probability sampling techniques and their properties\, including simple random selection\, systematic selection\, cluster sampling\, stratified sampling\, and probability proportionate to size selection. Issues of weighting to compensate for unequal chances of selection and variance estimation for calculating confidence intervals are also examined. Then the wide variety of non-probability sampling methods are examined\, from panel-based convenience samples\, to river samples\, quota samples\, respondent-driven samples\, and other techniques. The properties of these samples are discussed\, and assumptions needed to obtain estimates are examined. We will also examine these two approaches from the total survey error perspectives.\n\nThe lab sessions to be held after each class will combine R programming and group discussions on the topics that need to be considered when implementing various sampling approaches. Hands-on examples of frame preparation\, sample draws\, post-survey adjustments and analysis specific to design will be provided and discussed.\n\nThe course is not designed to provide the mastery of survey sampling. Rather\, it provides materials that will accommodate participants to become familiar with advantages and disadvantages of the two methods and their implementation which will allow them to make informed design decisions.

The course covers all aspects of instrument design for Web surveys\, including the appropriate use of various input tools (e.g.\, radio buttons\, check boxes) for Web surveys\, general formatting and layout issues\, movement through the instrument (action buttons\, navigation\, error messages)\, and so on. The course draws on empirical results from experiments on alternative design approaches as well as practical experience in the design and implementation of a wide variety of Web surveys. The course also covers the challenges of designing Web surveys for mobile devices (smartphones and tablets)\, and the collection and use of paradata to evaluate Web survey instruments. The course does not focus on the technical aspects of Web survey implementation\, such as hardware\, software or programming. It also does not focus on general survey design or questionnaire design – participants are expected to have some familiarity with surveys.

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:63803-15884003@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.

Working at the turn of the twentieth century\, Schiele challenged the classical conventions of the day producing emotionally charged—often unsettling—drawings and watercolors depicting landscapes\, portraits\, and nudes. Two retired U-M professors recently gifted four works of art by Schiele to UMMA. Throughout their lifetimes\, Frances McSparran (English language and literature) and the late Ernst Pulgram (Romance and classical linguistics) collected over forty Austrian and German Expressionist works\, donating many of them to the Museum. The three watercolors and one drawing on view in this special installation complement the couple’s previous gifts of works by Schiele and his contemporaries Oskar Kokoschka\, George Grosz\, and Gustav Klimt\, reuniting these important works that together provide important insights into this tumultuous period in European history.        \n\n UID:63428-15694154@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63428 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Language,Literature,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Connector CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190510T115621 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190709T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190709T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Summer Omics Learning Seminar Series - Co-Sponsored by the M-LEEaD Omics\, Bioinformatics Core\, and the Department of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics DESCRIPTION:Adductomics\n\n\"Strategies and approaches for human biomonitoring of environmental and dietary carcinogens\" UID:63537-15782025@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63537 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Free,Lecture,Medicine,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,Talk LOCATION:School of Public Health Bldg I and Crossroads and Tower - Room 1755 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190429T181530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190709T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190709T220000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS\, DISASTERS\, CONSUMPTION\, LOSS\, AND JUSTICE\n \nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene\, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity.

The lecture is open to students\, faculty\, researchers\, and the public.\n\nDr. Patricelli's research interests include behavioral ecology\, bioacoustics\, and conservation in birds\, with a focus on understanding the diversity and complexity in animals signals. Current projects address breeding behaviors\, sexual selection\, acoustic communication\, and the effects of noise pollution on sage-grouse and other wildlife.\n\nPer her UC Davis lab website:\n\n\"The signals used by animals to communicate are among the most beautiful features of the natural world\, including a dizzying array of sounds\, smells\, colors\, dances\, electrical fields and seismic vibrations. Research in the Patricelli Lab addresses the function of these signals and why they take on such diverse and complex forms. Our approach has been integrative\, examining functional\, environmental and mechanistic influences on signal content and design. One of the central goals of research in the lab is to understand how signals are influenced by the social and environmental contexts in which they are used. To accomplish this\, we have pioneered new techniques and technologies for the detailed observation and experimental manipulation of both visual and acoustic signals in the field\, including biomimetic robots and microphone arrays.\" UID:63534-15782022@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63534 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biological Station,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Ecology,Environment,Life Science,U-m Biological Station,Umbs LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Gates Lecture Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190531T154843 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190710T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190710T235900 SUMMARY:Other:Research Scholars Applications Open DESCRIPTION:Want to return to research for the Fall 2019-Winter 2020 Academic Year?

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.

First\, this class gives an equal amount of attention to both probability and non-probability sampling methods as non-probability sampling cannot be discussed meaningfully without understanding probability sampling and these two methods offer distinctive advantages and disadvantages. Second\, this class will combine theoretical/conceptual parts of sampling through lectures and practical applications of different approaches through lab sessions.\n\nThe course will start with examining probability sampling techniques and their properties\, including simple random selection\, systematic selection\, cluster sampling\, stratified sampling\, and probability proportionate to size selection. Issues of weighting to compensate for unequal chances of selection and variance estimation for calculating confidence intervals are also examined. Then the wide variety of non-probability sampling methods are examined\, from panel-based convenience samples\, to river samples\, quota samples\, respondent-driven samples\, and other techniques. The properties of these samples are discussed\, and assumptions needed to obtain estimates are examined. We will also examine these two approaches from the total survey error perspectives.\n\nThe lab sessions to be held after each class will combine R programming and group discussions on the topics that need to be considered when implementing various sampling approaches. Hands-on examples of frame preparation\, sample draws\, post-survey adjustments and analysis specific to design will be provided and discussed.\n\nThe course is not designed to provide the mastery of survey sampling. Rather\, it provides materials that will accommodate participants to become familiar with advantages and disadvantages of the two methods and their implementation which will allow them to make informed design decisions.

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:63803-15884004@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.

Working at the turn of the twentieth century\, Schiele challenged the classical conventions of the day producing emotionally charged—often unsettling—drawings and watercolors depicting landscapes\, portraits\, and nudes. Two retired U-M professors recently gifted four works of art by Schiele to UMMA. Throughout their lifetimes\, Frances McSparran (English language and literature) and the late Ernst Pulgram (Romance and classical linguistics) collected over forty Austrian and German Expressionist works\, donating many of them to the Museum. The three watercolors and one drawing on view in this special installation complement the couple’s previous gifts of works by Schiele and his contemporaries Oskar Kokoschka\, George Grosz\, and Gustav Klimt\, reuniting these important works that together provide important insights into this tumultuous period in European history.        \n\n UID:63428-15694155@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63428 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Language,Literature,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Connector CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190705T172153 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190710T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190710T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reimagining the future of high-throughput screening: How quantitative measurements of population heterogeneities are transforming cell biology DESCRIPTION:Special CDB Seminar\n\nHosted by:\nKristen Verhey\, Ph.D. UID:64233-16236336@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64233 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biosciences,Science LOCATION:Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building - BSRB Seminar Rooms ABC CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190429T181530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190710T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190710T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS\, DISASTERS\, CONSUMPTION\, LOSS\, AND JUSTICE\n \nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene\, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity.

Such data are often referred to as \"big data\"\, and can be used to create value in different areas such as health and crime prevention\, commerce and fraud detection. An emerging practice in many areas is to append or link big data sources with more specific and smaller scale sources that often contain much more limited information. This practice has been used for some time by survey researchers in constructing frames by appending auxiliary information that is often not directly available on the frame\, but can be obtained from an external source. Using Big Data has the potential to go beyond the sampling phase for survey researchers and in fact has the potential to influence the social sciences in general. Big Data is of interest for public opinion researchers and agencies that produce statistics to find alternative data sources either to reduce costs\, to improve estimates or to produce estimates in a more timely fashion. However\, Big Data pose several interesting and new challenges to survey researchers and social scientists among others who want to extract information from data. As Robert Groves (2012) pointedly commented\, the era is “appropriately called Big Data and not Big Information”\, because there is a lot of work for analysts before information can be gained from “auxiliary traces of some process that is going on in society.” \n\nThis course offers participants a broad overview of big data sources\, opportunities and examples motivated within the survey and social science contexts including the use of social media data\, para data and other such sources. This course also offers a detailed\, practical introduction to four common machine learning methods that can be applied to big and small data alike at various aspects of a study’s lifecycle from design to nonresponse adjustments to propensity score matching to weighting and evaluation and analysis. The machine learning methods will be demonstrated in R and we will provide several different examples of using these methods along with multiple packages in R that offer these methods. \n\nIf you wish to take this course for academic credit you must also enroll in A Virtually Syntax Free Practical Introduction to Web Scrapping for Survey and Social Science Researchers.\n\nPrerequisite: Basic proficiency in R (i.e. how to load a package\, launch it and basic R syntax knowledge) UID:61347-15090332@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61347 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate and Professional Students,Prospective Graduate Students,Research,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:Mason Hall - TBD CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190723T170136 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190710T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190710T141500 SUMMARY:Presentation:The Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:Star Talks in July will include a brief look at the Moon\, and how and where humans visited it for the first time\, 50 years ago.\n\nNew 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!

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.

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.

First\, this class gives an equal amount of attention to both probability and non-probability sampling methods as non-probability sampling cannot be discussed meaningfully without understanding probability sampling and these two methods offer distinctive advantages and disadvantages. Second\, this class will combine theoretical/conceptual parts of sampling through lectures and practical applications of different approaches through lab sessions.\n\nThe course will start with examining probability sampling techniques and their properties\, including simple random selection\, systematic selection\, cluster sampling\, stratified sampling\, and probability proportionate to size selection. Issues of weighting to compensate for unequal chances of selection and variance estimation for calculating confidence intervals are also examined. Then the wide variety of non-probability sampling methods are examined\, from panel-based convenience samples\, to river samples\, quota samples\, respondent-driven samples\, and other techniques. The properties of these samples are discussed\, and assumptions needed to obtain estimates are examined. We will also examine these two approaches from the total survey error perspectives.\n\nThe lab sessions to be held after each class will combine R programming and group discussions on the topics that need to be considered when implementing various sampling approaches. Hands-on examples of frame preparation\, sample draws\, post-survey adjustments and analysis specific to design will be provided and discussed.\n\nThe course is not designed to provide the mastery of survey sampling. Rather\, it provides materials that will accommodate participants to become familiar with advantages and disadvantages of the two methods and their implementation which will allow them to make informed design decisions.

The course covers all aspects of instrument design for Web surveys\, including the appropriate use of various input tools (e.g.\, radio buttons\, check boxes) for Web surveys\, general formatting and layout issues\, movement through the instrument (action buttons\, navigation\, error messages)\, and so on. The course draws on empirical results from experiments on alternative design approaches as well as practical experience in the design and implementation of a wide variety of Web surveys. The course also covers the challenges of designing Web surveys for mobile devices (smartphones and tablets)\, and the collection and use of paradata to evaluate Web survey instruments. The course does not focus on the technical aspects of Web survey implementation\, such as hardware\, software or programming. It also does not focus on general survey design or questionnaire design – participants are expected to have some familiarity with surveys.

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:58562-14511206@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:63803-15884005@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.

Working at the turn of the twentieth century\, Schiele challenged the classical conventions of the day producing emotionally charged—often unsettling—drawings and watercolors depicting landscapes\, portraits\, and nudes. Two retired U-M professors recently gifted four works of art by Schiele to UMMA. Throughout their lifetimes\, Frances McSparran (English language and literature) and the late Ernst Pulgram (Romance and classical linguistics) collected over forty Austrian and German Expressionist works\, donating many of them to the Museum. The three watercolors and one drawing on view in this special installation complement the couple’s previous gifts of works by Schiele and his contemporaries Oskar Kokoschka\, George Grosz\, and Gustav Klimt\, reuniting these important works that together provide important insights into this tumultuous period in European history.        \n\n UID:63428-15694156@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63428 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Language,Literature,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Connector CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190429T181530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190711T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190711T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS\, DISASTERS\, CONSUMPTION\, LOSS\, AND JUSTICE\n \nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene\, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity.

The knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of charge and energy transfer involved in this process can be used to develop artificial light-harvesting systems and biofuels\, helping us to meet our own energy needs. In this talk\, I will discuss how we use fluorescence-detection-based two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (F-2DES) to study the energy transfer in light-harvesting (LH2\, in particular) complexes present in photosynthetic purple bacteria. Due to long acquisition times\, photobleaching effects during the 2D measurements can distort the features of the acquired spectra. Motivated by the desire to reduce these effects without sacrificing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)\, we have adapted a rapid-scanning approach to record the linear spectra of the complexes in question. I will discuss the technique and results from the same. Extending this rapid-scanning technique to F-2DES promises reduced acquisition times and improved SNR for the 2D spectra.

Such data are often referred to as \"big data\"\, and can be used to create value in different areas such as health and crime prevention\, commerce and fraud detection. An emerging practice in many areas is to append or link big data sources with more specific and smaller scale sources that often contain much more limited information. This practice has been used for some time by survey researchers in constructing frames by appending auxiliary information that is often not directly available on the frame\, but can be obtained from an external source. Using Big Data has the potential to go beyond the sampling phase for survey researchers and in fact has the potential to influence the social sciences in general. Big Data is of interest for public opinion researchers and agencies that produce statistics to find alternative data sources either to reduce costs\, to improve estimates or to produce estimates in a more timely fashion. However\, Big Data pose several interesting and new challenges to survey researchers and social scientists among others who want to extract information from data. As Robert Groves (2012) pointedly commented\, the era is “appropriately called Big Data and not Big Information”\, because there is a lot of work for analysts before information can be gained from “auxiliary traces of some process that is going on in society.” \n\nThis course offers participants a broad overview of big data sources\, opportunities and examples motivated within the survey and social science contexts including the use of social media data\, para data and other such sources. This course also offers a detailed\, practical introduction to four common machine learning methods that can be applied to big and small data alike at various aspects of a study’s lifecycle from design to nonresponse adjustments to propensity score matching to weighting and evaluation and analysis. The machine learning methods will be demonstrated in R and we will provide several different examples of using these methods along with multiple packages in R that offer these methods. \n\nIf you wish to take this course for academic credit you must also enroll in A Virtually Syntax Free Practical Introduction to Web Scrapping for Survey and Social Science Researchers.\n\nPrerequisite: Basic proficiency in R (i.e. how to load a package\, launch it and basic R syntax knowledge) UID:61347-15090333@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61347 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate and Professional Students,Prospective Graduate Students,Research,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:Mason Hall - TBD CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190723T170136 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190711T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190711T141500 SUMMARY:Presentation:The Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:Star Talks in July will include a brief look at the Moon\, and how and where humans visited it for the first time\, 50 years ago.\n\nNew 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!

Maybe that last item explains some of his amazing charisma! Greg's first professional singing job came at age 18 in New York City\, running hootenannies at the legendary Gerdes Folk City. After a year\, Greg moved west to Los Angeles and Las Vegas\, where he was a ghostwriter for Buck Ram of the Platters. Over more than four decades on the road\, Greg has developed into the essential Midwestern songwriter\, with a deep feeling for what makes people and communities hang together. He's a compelling performer\, aware that in folk music less is usually more and that the intimate musical detail communicates as well as the grand gesture. It's not so often that we see Greg Brown in southeastern Michigan\, so this could be a very scarce ticket!

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.

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.

Surveys are the most common form of collecting primary data in many disciplines\, and this course will provide students with an overview of interview-administered (face-to-face and telephone) and self-administered (mail\, web\, mobile web\, and SMS) survey data collection as well as the combination of multiple modes (mixed mode surveys). The course will in particular discuss the implication of survey design decisions on data quality. In addition\, students will also receive an overview on alternative data sources (e.g.\, passive measurement\, social media and administrative data) and how they can be used in combination with traditional survey data.

First\, this class gives an equal amount of attention to both probability and non-probability sampling methods as non-probability sampling cannot be discussed meaningfully without understanding probability sampling and these two methods offer distinctive advantages and disadvantages. Second\, this class will combine theoretical/conceptual parts of sampling through lectures and practical applications of different approaches through lab sessions.\n\nThe course will start with examining probability sampling techniques and their properties\, including simple random selection\, systematic selection\, cluster sampling\, stratified sampling\, and probability proportionate to size selection. Issues of weighting to compensate for unequal chances of selection and variance estimation for calculating confidence intervals are also examined. Then the wide variety of non-probability sampling methods are examined\, from panel-based convenience samples\, to river samples\, quota samples\, respondent-driven samples\, and other techniques. The properties of these samples are discussed\, and assumptions needed to obtain estimates are examined. We will also examine these two approaches from the total survey error perspectives.\n\nThe lab sessions to be held after each class will combine R programming and group discussions on the topics that need to be considered when implementing various sampling approaches. Hands-on examples of frame preparation\, sample draws\, post-survey adjustments and analysis specific to design will be provided and discussed.\n\nThe course is not designed to provide the mastery of survey sampling. Rather\, it provides materials that will accommodate participants to become familiar with advantages and disadvantages of the two methods and their implementation which will allow them to make informed design decisions.

The course covers all aspects of instrument design for Web surveys\, including the appropriate use of various input tools (e.g.\, radio buttons\, check boxes) for Web surveys\, general formatting and layout issues\, movement through the instrument (action buttons\, navigation\, error messages)\, and so on. The course draws on empirical results from experiments on alternative design approaches as well as practical experience in the design and implementation of a wide variety of Web surveys. The course also covers the challenges of designing Web surveys for mobile devices (smartphones and tablets)\, and the collection and use of paradata to evaluate Web survey instruments. The course does not focus on the technical aspects of Web survey implementation\, such as hardware\, software or programming. It also does not focus on general survey design or questionnaire design – participants are expected to have some familiarity with surveys.
