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

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

In this Open Lab\, we’ll delve into questions of how to make art when the future seems bleak\, how to make that art meaningful\, and how to take care of yourself while doing this. Whether this art deals with personal grief\, pain\, or discrimination\; or ventures into the larger scope of oppression\, climate change\, and the political world\; engaging with these sorts of topics in-depth and in an artistic way requires some distance or reprieve. A faculty panel will share their experiences\, offer counsel\, and answer questions! Featuring SMTD Faculty Jose Casas\, Kristin Kuster and Ashley Lucas.

We hope to reschedule this event for the 2020-21 academic year. \n\nThis paper examines how political\, social\, and economic regime changes affect the lifecycles of manufacturing plants exploiting Japan’s transition from a feudal regime to a modern regime in the late nineteenth century as a natural experiment. Using plant-level data for 1902\, including the foundation year of each plant\, we explored how the experience-size profiles of plants differ before and after the regime change. Plants were found to grow much faster after the regime change and the acceleration of growth after the regime change was much greater for the plants in exporting industries\, industries intensively using steam power\, and plants adopting a corporate form. These findings suggest that access to export markets\, access to modern technologies\, and availability of the modern corporate form were the channels through which the regime change affected the experience-size profile of plants.\n\nTetsuji Okazaki is Professor of Economics at the University of Tokyo.

Organic semiconductors\, such as small molecules and polymers\, are well-suited to these future requirements\; however\, their electrical properties and environmental stability are inherently worse. Hybrid materials\, such as inorganic nanoparticles embedded within a polymer film\, can mitigate the trade-offs that exist for any single material type by combining organic and inorganic semiconductors. For example\, hybrid materials can impart multi-functionality\, flexibility\, transparency\, and sustainability to devices based on the interaction of light and matter (i.e.\, optoelectronic devices) or energy-related devices (e.g.\, solar cells\, supercapacitors\, or photo-electrochemical cells). A critically important requirement to realize the promise of hybrid materials for devices is to understand and control thin film deposition. Because hybrid materials are heterogeneous systems containing more than one component\, thin-film deposition can be complicated compared to single component films. As a result\, the co-deposition of two or more materials with different properties to synthesize a hybrid film with pre-determined functionality is a technological challenge within thin-film engineering. I will describe my research program that investigates hybrid thin film deposition using resonant infrared\, matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (RIR-MAPLE) to control structure and properties and to improve the performance of optoelectronic and energy-related devices. I will also reflect on my path to a career in academia and the lessons I have learned along the way.\n\nBio\n\nAdrienne D. Stiff-Roberts is Jeffrey N. Vinik Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University\, where she is also the Director of Graduate Studies for the University Program in Materials Science and Engineering. Her current research interests include organic and hybrid thin-film deposition by resonant-infrared matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (RIR-MAPLE)\; materials characterization of organic and hybrid thin films\; and the design\, fabrication\, and characterization of organic and hybrid optoelectronic devices\, especially infrared photodetectors\, photovoltaic solar cells\, and multi-functional sensors. Dr. Stiff-Roberts received both the B.S. degree in physics from Spelman College and the B.E.E. degree in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1999. She received an M.S.E. in electrical engineering and a Ph.D. in applied physics in 2001 and 2004\, respectively\, from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.

This event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.\n\nThere will be an instant-win raffle at the beginning of the event for 5 free copies of the book! Must be present to win!\n\nAbout the book:\n\nOn a Thursday in November of 2013\, Guadalupe Morales waited anxiously with her sister-in-law and their four small children. Every Latino man who drove away from their shared apartment above a small auto repair shop that day had failed to return—arrested\, one by one\, by ICE agents and local police. As the two women discussed what to do next\, a SWAT team clad in body armor and carrying assault rifles stormed the room. As Guadalupe remembers it\, \"The soldiers came in the house. They knocked down doors. They threw gas. They had guns. We were two women with small children... The kids terrified\, the kids screaming.\"\n\nIn Separated\, William D. Lopez examines the lasting damage done by this daylong act of collaborative immigration enforcement in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Exploring the chaos of enforcement through the lens of community health\, Lopez discusses deportation's rippling negative effects on families\, communities\, and individuals. Focusing on those left behind\, Lopez reveals their efforts to cope with trauma\, avoid homelessness\, handle worsening health\, and keep their families together as they attempt to deal with a deportation machine that is militarized\, traumatic\, implicitly racist\, and profoundly violent.\n\nLopez uses this single home raid to show what immigration law enforcement looks like from the perspective of the people who actually experience it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with twenty-four individuals whose lives were changed that day in 2013\, as well as field notes\, records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act\, and his own experience as an activist\, Lopez combines rigorous research with narrative storytelling. Putting faces and names to the numbers behind deportation statistics\, Separated urges readers to move beyond sound bites and consider the human experience of mixed-status communities in the small everyday towns that dot the interior of the United States.

Lyons\, United States Air Force Academy DESCRIPTION:The Departmental Seminar Series is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nThe seminar will be followed by a reception in the IOE Commons (Room 1709) from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.\n\nTitle: \nTrust Considerations of Advanced Technology \n\nAbstract: \nThis talk will dig into issues of trust and transparency as they relate to intelligent machines. The construct of trust will be defined\, and prior research involving trust and transparency will be explored. As machines gain capabilities and authorization to act on behalf of humans\, humans will begin to attribute greater intentionality to their actions - but what impact does this have on human attitudes toward intelligent machines? This talk will explore the dimensions of human-autonomy teaming and will discuss the need for transparency of intent. \n\nBio:\nJoseph B.

A huge amount of problem-solving and reasoning in organic chemistry requires drawing and/or interpreting structural representations of chemical substances. The ability to interpret a given representation and go beyond the explicit image is thus one of the major skills to successfully perform in chemistry. However less is known about what information students are actually processing when they need to draw connections between a chemical representation and the chemical meaning that it is meant to convey. How do they connect perceptional “surface-level” attributes of a representation with “deep-level” implicit attributes\, what are productive resources in students reasoning? To fill this gap\, we performed several qualitative studies with undergraduate organic chemistry students to characterize students’ mechanistic reasoning and to derive instructional support. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nNicole Graulich (The Institute of Chemistry Education Justus-Liebig-Universitat Gieben) UID:72453-18009346@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72453 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T132510 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:<> CLASP Seminar Series: Dr. Lee Murray\, University of Rochester DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: we regret that this week's seminar with Dr. Murray has been canceled.

In turn\, climate change has influenced atmospheric composition through perturbations of natural processes\, leading to complex feedbacks across a range of spatial and temporal scales. Here\, I present some ongoing projects aimed at characterizing the interface between atmospheric chemistry and Earth’s climate system in the past\, present and future. First\, I explore the coupling between the primary atmospheric oxidants OH and ozone with the production of reactive nitrogen oxides (NOx) from lightning\, and the subsequent impacts on surface air quality and long-term climate. Second\, I explore how uncertainty in reactive nitrogen chemistry and hydrocarbon oxidation mechanisms in the atmosphere contribute to uncertainties in chemistry-climate feedbacks\, and ongoing efforts to evaluate these processes in global models through the ongoing NASA Atmospheric Tomography airborne mission. Lastly\, I introduce a pilot monitoring network and inverse modeling framework for methane\, the most abundant atmospheric hydrocarbon and potent greenhouse gas\, that is presently being installed to aid New York State in assessing and meeting its greenhouse-gas reduction goals.\n\nPlease join us!

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc is highly correlated with low back pain\, however\, not all disc degeneration is painful. One of the most common forms of low back pain is disc-associated low back pain in which pain originates from intervertebral disc. In disc-associated low back pain\, nerve fibers penetrate the previously aneural disc\, where they are then thought to be stimulated by the harsh catabolic environment. Repetitive stimulation of these nerve fibers can cause sensitization and chronic pain. The overarching goal of our work is to engineer biomaterials that target these two key areas of disc-associated low back pain: nerve growth and stimulation. Current clinical treatments for chronic low back pain have limited efficacy or are highly invasive. The majority of research to date focuses on regenerating a young healthy disc. We believe our approach to target nerve growth and stimulation independent of disc regeneration has the potential shift the paradigm in the treatment of low back pain.

While the practices of artists who emerged in that moment\, such as Sam Gilliam and Howardena Pindell\, have garnered increasing attention in recent years\, critical discourse has tended to either emplot them within formalist narratives that elide considerations of race and gender or to frame them in identarian frameworks that leave aside the material complexity of the artworks themselves. Copeland moves beyond this dichotomy in articulating a black feminist approach to the construction of the modern material world that considers how African American women’s vernacular strategies of making-do variously inform modernist painters’ attempts to critique both the supposed autonomy of abstraction as well as the racialized and gendered construction of the gaze in Western cultures.\n\nHuey Copeland is Interim Director of the Black Arts Initiative\, Arthur Andersen Teaching and Research Professor\, and Associate Professor of Art History at Northwestern University\, where he also enjoys affiliations with African American Studies\, Art Theory & Practice\, Critical Theory\, Gender and Sexuality Studies\, and Performance Studies. His research focuses on modern and contemporary art with an emphasis on articulations of blackness in the Western visual field. An editor of OCTOBER and a contributing editor of Artforum\, Copeland has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals as well as in numerous international exhibition catalogues and essay collections. At present\, he is at work on two complementary volumes: “In the Shadow of the Negress: Modern Art in the Transatlantic World\,” which explores the constitutive role played by fictions of black womanhood in Western art from the late 18th century to the present\, and “Touched by the Mother: On Black Men\, Artistic Practice\, and Other Feminist Horizons\, 1966–2016\,” which brings together a selection of his critical essays.

Jane Bae\nThe currently available computational power limits the utilization of direct numerical simulation (DNS) in practical engineering flow applications. In recent years\, large-eddy simulation (LES) has emerged as a viable high-fidelity tool for such flow problems\; however\, it suffers from the same computational limitations in the near-wall region. In this talk\, I will introduce a new way of modeling the wall in LES to overcome the limitation of the near-wall region. First\, the use of the slip boundary condition with transpiration for wall-modeled LES is motivated by theoretic assessment and a priori testing using DNS data. Secondly\, a dynamic slip wall model consistent with the constant stress layer in the near-wall region is presented. The dynamic slip wall model is free of any a priori specified coefficients\, unlike traditional wall models which are based on RANS models. The results show that the predictions of the mean velocity profile and turbulence intensities from the dynamic slip wall model are in good agreement with DNS and experimental data for a wide range of Reynolds numbers and grid resolutions for canonical turbulent boundary layers.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\nH. Jane Bae is a postdoctoral scholar at the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories at Caltech. She received her Ph.D. in Computational and Mathematical Engineering from Stanford University in 2018. Her main research focuses on computational fluid mechanics\, in particular on modeling and control of wall-bounded turbulence using reduced-order modeling and design and implementation of efficient solution methods.

In biochemistry\, the electrostatic potential is a dominant factor determining the preference for functional states in biomolecules such as ligand-binding or protein-protein interactions. In material science\, the function of nanoporous crystals such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks for gas storage and separation applications rely on their ability to absorb polar molecules. In electrochemistry\, the function of electrochemical cells relies on the diffusion of ions and the double-layer formation at the electrode surface. Computational modeling of these systems thereby requires an accurate description of the electrostatic interaction between the different components of these complex system. Although the ubiquitous role that long-ranged electric fields play in catalysis has been recognized\, it is seldom used as a primary design parameter in the discovery of new catalytic materials. I will present results on how electric fields have been used to computationally optimize biocatalytic performance of a synthetic enzyme\, and how they could be used as a unifying descriptor for catalytic design across a range of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. While focusing on electrostatic environmental effects may open new routes toward the rational optimization of efficient catalysts\, much more predictive capacity is required of theoretical methods to have a transformative impact in their computational design – and thus experimental relevance – when using electric field alignments in the reactive centres of complex catalytic systems. I will discuss some of these methodological advances from accurate many-body force fields under non-reactive approximations in classical molecular dynamics\, to reactive force fields to describe chemical reactions where charge flow is an essential process. \n \nTeresa Head-Gordon (University of California\, Berkeley) UID:64042-16101236@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64042 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200327T123023 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Debunking the NSA Security Clearance Process Webinar DESCRIPTION:Find out about each step of the security clearance process\, including the polygraph.

In this talk\, Purnaprajna shows how modern algebraic geometry inspired by ideas and methods of Alexander Grothendieck sheds light on the connection between different genres of music. He develops a meta geometric framework which gives raise to the so called “Metaraga system”\; a system with its own grammar and syntax. This integrates elements of Indian and Western classical music\, jazz and the blues. Moreover it gives rise to a music with no vantage point of east or west. Metaraga system’s mathematical under pinning lies in category theoretic algebraic geometry\, and Grothendieck like topologies. The dictionary that is set up is both ways\; music from math and math from music. This power point presentation will contain both audio and visual elements to illustrate some of the thoughts mentioned above UID:73390-18214931@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73390 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics,Music LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200214T113559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Local Businesses\, Global Entrepreneurship: A Journey to Build Impact DESCRIPTION:Juan Carlos Thomas\, Director of Entrepreneurship at TechnoServe\, a nonprofit organization focused on harnessing the power of the private sector to help people lift themselves out of poverty\, will be the next WDI Global Impact Speaker.\n\n\nThomas’s talk\, “Local Businesses\, Global Entrepreneurship: A Journey to Build Impact\,” will explore effective ways to support entrepreneurs and small and growing businesses around the world.

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

Visit our Witness Lab page for an ever-evolving list of opportunities to see the Witness Lab project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Plans to postpone are TBD.\n\n\nCLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media. \n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film \"Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder\" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer\, Great Lakes South. \n\nAs part of the conference\, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday\, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

Yet\, these conflated boundaries have received little attention from those developing genetic-based species delimitation methods\, potentially leading to mass over-splitting as genomic data become more widely employed. These challenges have profound implications for not only understanding the generation and dynamics of biodiversity\, but also for conserving this diversity.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will cover the foundations upon which genetic-based inference of species boundaries are built. In particular\, we will review the history that lead to a reliance on the multispecies coalescent (MSC) as the primary model for species delimitation. Despite the appeal of genome-based species discovery\, we will explain how misidentification of population structure as putative species is an emerging key issue for applications of the MSC for species delimitation\, as well as the implications of divergence of gene flow for identifying species boundaries.\n\nRead more at the website linked on this page UID:73661-18278620@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73661 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Workshop LOCATION:East Hall - 1324 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200311T171804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cancelled: Fastest Path to Zero Carbon Emissions: Building an Exemplar for Deploying Clean Energy DESCRIPTION:Deploying clean energy is a complex multi-disciplinary task and\, to be most successful\, requires approaches that combine the best technology\, acceptable costs\, public policy approaches\, and social decisions. \n\nThe teach-in will:\n-Describe the current state of community acceptance of the deployment of renewable energy in Michigan\n-Describe the national state of the deployment of a new generation of advanced nuclear energy\n-Engage in facilitated conversations about the use of technology for the public good UID:73187-18155747@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73187 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Climate,Earth Day At 50,Energy,Engineering,Environment,Nuclear,Nuclear Engineering And Radiological Sciences,Sustainability LOCATION:Cooley Building - White Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200316T181530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T095100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T095100 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canceled - 2020 MFA Thesis Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Following guidance from University administrators and public health officials in response to COVID-19\, Stamps Gallery is closed until further notice\, and all scheduled in-person events and exhibitions have been canceled.\n__________\n\nsometimes something\, the 2020 MFA Thesis Exhibition\, will bring together culminating projects by second-year graduate students\, Sally Clegg\, Kim Karlsrud\, Erin McKenna\, and Abhishek Narula.

This includes the provision of therapeutic support in (near) real time\, as well as the provision of prompts that support the engagement of users in the mobile health application. A micro-randomized trial (MRT) is a new trial design that is useful for addressing scientific questions concerning the construction of mobile health applications of this type.  This talk describes the design and analysis of a micro-randomized trial conducted in collaboration with a local digital behavioral health company based in Ann Arbor. The purpose of the MRT was to (i) test the effectiveness of using a “push” prompt to engage users with a smartphone-based mobile health application\, and (ii) to estimate whether the effectiveness of the prompt depends on the time at which the prompt is sent\, as well as a prespecified set of user characteristics and other contextual factors. The trial’s primary outcome was binary\, namely\, whether or not the user engaged with the smartphone app over the next 24 hours. To analyze the data arising from this MRT\, we developed a new approach to estimating the proximal causal effects that could accommodate a binary outcome. We describe the design of the MRT\, the new data analysis method\, and the results.\nAn explicit goal of this talk is to provide a friendly introduction to some of the ideas underlying the design and analysis of MRTs\, as opposed to focusing on technical details of the method.\n\nThis is joint work with Susan A. Murphy\, Inbal Nahum-Shani and Niranjan Bidargarddi.

Seating is limited. Visit our project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. Public programs\, classes\, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society\, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.\n \nIn her investigation of America’s courts\, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law\, drama\, and anthropology\, among others. \n \nDue to the nature of the project\, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J.

The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

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

The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J.

CSEAS Lecture Series. Regime Change and Continuity in Malaysia DESCRIPTION:Lily Rahim\, Malaysia Chair of Islam in Southeast Asia and Associate Teaching Professor\, Georgetown University\n\nSince its historic May 2018 breakthrough election\, Malaysia's Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition government has experienced some erosion of public support. The presentation will analyse PH's weakening popularity within the context of its 'catch-22' policy and political conundrum. Simply put\, the promised implementation of substantive policy reform\, with respect to 'Malay rights'\, threaten to weaken PH's tenuous relations with the predominantly conservative majority Malay community - susceptible to the fear and racial displacement rhetoric of opposition politicians. At the same time\, PH's reluctance to implement substantive institutional and policy reforms have generated disillusionment within its urban\, cosmopolitan and middle-class electoral base - key to its electoral breakthrough in 2018 but increasingly wary of the governing coalition's leadership tensions.\n \n Lily Zubaidah Rahim is Associate Teaching Professor and Malaysia Chair of Islam in Southeast Asia at the Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University. She was previously a professor of government and international relations at the University of Sydney\, specializing in authoritarian governance\, democratization\, Southeast Asian Politics\, political Islam\, and ethic politics. Her books include The Singapore Dilemma: The Political and Educational Marginality of the Malay Community (Oxford University Press 1998/2001\; translated to Malay by the Malaysian National Institute for Translation)\, Singapore in the Malay World: Building and Breaching Regional Bridges (Routledge\, 2009)\, Muslim Secular Democracy (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2013)\, The Politics of Islamism: Diverging Visions and Trajectories (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2018) and The Limits of Authoritarian Governance in Singapore’s Developmental State (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2019). Her current comparative politics book project focuses on regime change and policy reform in Malaysia\, Indonesia and Tunisia.\n \n Lily has published in international journals such as Democratization\, Contemporary Politics\, Journal of Contemporary Asia\, Journal of Comparative and Comparative Politics\, Critical Asian Studies and the Australian Journal of International Affairs. Her sole-authored journal article ‘Governing Muslims in Singapore’s Secular Authoritarian State’ was short-listed for the Boyer Prize by the Australian Journal of International Affairs (AJIA). Lily is Vice-President of the Australian Association for Islamic and Muslim Studies (AAIMS) and Co-Convener of the Social Inclusion Network (SIN) at the University of Sydney. She was Convener of the multi-disciplinary ‘Religion\, State and Society’ (RSS) Network and President of the Malaysia and Singapore Society of Australia (MASSA).\n\n---\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

It quickly became the centerpiece of an enthusiastic community-led restoration and educational project in the neighboring city of Hamtramck before it met an untimely and sudden demolition at the hands of the City of Detroit in February of 2019. This presentation recounts the archaeological investigations of the late 19th-century log cabin in the context of the city's blight removal efforts. It also uses the controversy surrounding the cabin's demolition to discuss how federal policies towards blight removal are adversely affecting the identification and preservation of poor\, working-class historic resources in post-industrial cities.

CSR and effective Tax Rates DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The social responsibilities of for-profit corporations have gained importance recently\, and CSR has become both a goal and a set of guidelines for various corporate activities. CSR encompasses a number of dimension\, typically including environmental impacts\, treatment of employees\, and relations to local communities. Here we consider the relationship between CSR and corporate taxes: do firms that are “good citizens” also pay higher taxes? Is it the social responsibility of firms to help pay for public services? Focusing on the percentile rank of effective tax rates\, and using random effects panel regression of a data set of publicly-traded U.S. firms that includes measures of CSR and many financial variables\, we find that the relationship between CSR and taxation is a complicated one that warrants further investigation. However\, strong corporate governance\, a typical component of CSR\, is associated with lower tax rates\, suggesting that responsibility to shareholders conflicts with broader social responsibilities.

Visit our Witness Lab page for an ever-evolving list of opportunities to see the Witness Lab project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. Public programs\, classes\, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society\, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.\n \nIn her investigation of America’s courts\, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law\, drama\, and anthropology\, among others. \n \nDue to the nature of the project\, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Yet\, these conflated boundaries have received little attention from those developing genetic-based species delimitation methods\, potentially leading to mass over-splitting as genomic data become more widely employed. These challenges have profound implications for not only understanding the generation and dynamics of biodiversity\, but also for conserving this diversity.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will cover the foundations upon which genetic-based inference of species boundaries are built. In particular\, we will review the history that lead to a reliance on the multispecies coalescent (MSC) as the primary model for species delimitation. Despite the appeal of genome-based species discovery\, we will explain how misidentification of population structure as putative species is an emerging key issue for applications of the MSC for species delimitation\, as well as the implications of divergence of gene flow for identifying species boundaries.\n\nRead more at the website linked on this page UID:73661-18278622@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73661 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Workshop LOCATION:Undergraduate Science Building - 1230 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T175248 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:*CANCELLED* ConEco Seminar: Applications of the Landscape Approach for Conserving Stream Fishes from Current and Future Threats DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled.

We apologize for the inconvenience.\n\nCapitalism as we know it has gotten us this far\, but there are serious questions about how much farther it can take us. Inequality\, fractured social institutions\, and\, most importantly\, the climate crisis are all huge\, systemic challenges that are unlikely to be solved by more economic growth and preserving the status quo. To right the ship\, we need a new way to see. In this talk\, Yancey Strickler\, the cofounder and former CEO of Kickstarter\, presents a new vision for defining value and self-interest\, and a whole new frontier of work to be done defining and growing a wider spectrum of value. Building on research and ideas shared in his book “This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World\,” Strickler will make the case that the generation coming up will be the ones to lead us into the post-capitalist era where values pluralism\, rather than the monoculture of financial value\, will be the new norm for defining the health and success of organizations and society.\n\nYancey Strickler is the co-founder and former CEO of Kickstarter\, and the author of This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World (2019).

Reception and book signing to follow. \n\nThis event will be livestreamed. Check event website right before the event for viewing details.\n\nJoin us for an armchair conversation with Robin DiAngelo\, author and Affiliate Associate Professor at the University of Washington\, and Elizabeth Moje\, Dean of the University of Michigan School of Education. Dr. DiAngelo and Dean Moje will discuss themes and ideas stemming from Dr. DiAngelo's best-selling book\, \"White Fragility.\"\n\nWhite people in the U.S. live in a social environment that protects and insulates them from race-based stress. This insulated environment of racial protection builds white expectations for racial comfort while at the same time lowering the ability to tolerate racial stress. DiAngelo calls this lack of racial stamina \"white fragility.\" White fragility is a state in which even a minimal challenge to the white position becomes intolerable\, triggering a range of defensive responses. These responses function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and maintain white control. DiAngelo will provide an overview of the socialization that inculcates white fragility and provide the perspectives and skills needed to build racial stamina and develop more equitable racial practices. \n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\n\nDr. Robin DiAngelo is Affiliate Associate Professor of Education at the University of Washington. In addition\, she holds two Honorary Doctorates. She is a two-time winner of the Student’s Choice Award for Educator of the Year at the University of Washington’s School of Social Work. She has numerous publications and books. In 2011 she coined the term White Fragility in an academic article which has influenced the international dialogue on race. Her book\, White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism was released in June of 2018 and debuted on the New York Times Bestseller List. In addition to her academic work\, Dr. DiAngelo has been a consultant and trainer for over 20 years on issues of racial and social justice. \n\nFrom the moderator's bio: \n\nElizabeth Birr Moje is dean\, George Herbert Mead Collegiate Professor of Education\, and an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Literacy\, Language\, and Culture in the School of Education. Moje teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in secondary and adolescent literacy\, cultural theory\, and research methods and was awarded the Provost’s Teaching Innovation Prize with colleague\, Bob Bain\, in 2010. A former high school history and biology teacher\, Moje’s research examines young people’s navigations of culture\, identity\, and literacy learning in and out of school in Detroit\, Michigan. \n\nMoje has published 5 books and numerous articles in journals such as Science\, Harvard Educational Review\, Teachers College Record\, Reading Research Quarterly\, Journal of Literacy Research\, Review of Education Research\, Journal of Research in Science Teaching\, Science Education\, International Journal of Science Education\, Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy\, and the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education.

Until recently\,\nmost advances in materials design for nuclear energy have been incremental – slight changes of composition here or tweaks in microstructure there. This talk will focus on research directions established at the University of Michigan to enable breakthroughs in the development of advanced nuclear materials by applying innovations in other research fields such as use of machine learning techniques. Recent results\, including automated defect detection and analysis in electron micrographs\, will be presented. The presentation will conclude with how these emerging techniques can be applied to Prof. Field’s other research directions including advanced alloy development and radiation effects to establish a new nuclear materials development workflow that expediates the development\, testing\, and deployment of novel materials for nuclear energy. \n\nBiography: Dr. Kevin Field is an Associate Professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan where his research specializes in alloy development and radiation effects in ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. His active research interests include advanced electron microscopy and scattering-based characterization techniques\, additive/advanced manufacturing for nuclear materials\, and the application of machine/deep learning techniques for advanced innovation in characterization and development of materials systems. Prof. Field moved to University of Michigan in the Fall of 2019 after nearly seven years at Oak Ridge National Laboratory where he first started as an Alvin M. Weinberg Fellow and left at the level of Staff Scientist. Prof. Field has presented and published numerous manuscripts on radiation effects in various material systems relevant for nuclear power generation including irradiated concrete performance\, deformation mechanisms in irradiated steels\, and radiation tolerance of enhanced accident tolerant fuel forms. Dr. Field received his B.S. (2007) from Michigan Technological University in Materials Science & Engineering and his M.S. (2009) and Ph.D. (2012) from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in Materials Science with a focus on segregation phenomena in ion and neutron irradiated ferrous-based alloys. Dr. Field’s work has been recognized through several avenues including receiving the prestigious Alvin M. Weinberg Fellowship from ORNL in 2013 and being awarded the UT-Battelle Award for Early Career Researcher in Science and Technology in 2018.

However\, a unified model of intonation across SALs\, balancing typological similarities and differences\, has yet to be proposed. This talk explores the most current findings and models of a range of SALs\, from both my own work and that of several others in the field\, in order to identify the common ground underlying a sample of languages of the region. The shared properties at the base of this unified model of intonation proposed for this selection of SALs include: (i) a preference for non-contrastive word-initial stress marked by low tone\, (ii) a sequence of repeating rising contours each spanning a roughly word-sized unit\, and (iii) greater flexibility within the higher-level boundary tones than within the pitch accent inventory. I argue that this bundle of features characterizes SAL intonation\, setting it apart from the intonation of other well-documented language groups due to the general lack of contrastive tone and stress in the region.\n\nIn proposing this model\, tentatively named Intonational Transcription of South Asian Languages (InTraSAL)\, I take note of important areas of crosslinguistic variation\, including (i) the complex and variable role of syllable weight and (ii) the effects of voicing on pitch accent\, as well as (iii) the phonetic alignment of what can be argued to be the same basic phonological pattern. I take these findings as an initial exploration into producing a “prosodic map” of South Asia\, much like what has been done for Romance languages and varieties of Japanese. I also consider the applicability of the same model not only across languages\, but also across speaking styles\, and propose directions for further research to expand and test the model with more data.

Plans to postpone are TBD.\n\n\nCLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media. \n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film \"Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder\" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer\, Great Lakes South. \n\nAs part of the conference\, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday\, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

Cole\, D’Angelo\, and Beyoncé infuse empowering messages into their music\, which serve as the musical backdrop to this century’s Black Lives Matter movement. Every decade\, Black artists have served up insistent messages of empowerment confronting the oppressive effects of white supremacy. These anthems have often come from hip hop\, soul\, and R&B. Rarely has it come from jazz\, a musical genre that has arguably had a closer and more complicated relationship with white audiences and spaces. However\, in 1960\, jazz drummer Max Roach and vocalist Abby Lincoln collaborated on an album We Insist: Max Roach’s Freedom Suite Now that literally and symbolically confronted historical and global racism in an unprecedented way that adopted a Pan-African approach\, spanning slavery and civil rights in the U.S. to anti-apartheid movements in South Africa. This paper will argue that We Insist is a potent focal point of black musical activism by examining the making of the album\, its reception by critics and audiences\, and the significance of the fact that Roach and Lincoln were themselves embarking on a journey of love for their people and for each other. Ultimately this paper offers an analysis that places We Insist as a comprehensive musical precursor and a prophetic call to the twenty-first century that Black Lives must matter.

FSB agents tortured the arrestees into signing confessions. This became the \"Network Case.\" On the basis of these \"confessions\,\" the Russian courts drew up convictions of years--or decades--in prison. But they were not expecting widespread public outcry in Russia or unceasing international attention. By applying pressure from abroad\, online\, and in letters to prisoners\, we can do our part to keep these political prisoners in the spotlight\, and out of the shadows!\n\nThere will be a short informational slide-show.

The symposium events will take place from the 13-15 March 2020\, on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.\n\nWhen biologists think of natural history collections\, most tend to think of taxonomy and systematics\, yet many are unaware of the uses of biological collections beyond those traditional fields. These studies span the breadth of the tree of life and address broad subjects that span comparative genomics to bioengineering and climate change to historical pathogen dynamics\, among many\, many more. As stewards of one of the largest university-based biological collections in the world\, we are in an extraordinary position to leverage our holdings of biological material from the last century or more. We envision this symposium as a way to showcase the often-unrealized opportunities and non-traditional avenues of research that our collections make possible to the entire scientific community\, and emphasize some of the interdisciplinary ways in which our collections are being or could be used. We hope to foster a broader understanding and expanded use of an incomparable resource that the University of Michigan has cultivated for the past two hundred years.\n\nThe symposium will feature both established and novel uses of natural history collections across a wide range of taxonomic groups\, systems\, and time. Our goal is to create a program with contributions from all corners of ecology and evolutionary biology. The program will include two keynote talks by senior speakers and additional talks by early-career speakers.\n\nThank you!\n\nECSS 2020 Committee\nJenna Crowe-Riddell\nSonal Gupta\nHernán Lopez-Fernandez\, chair\nBenjamin Nicholas\nTeresa Pegan\nBrad Ruhfel\nCody Thompson\nTaylor West\n\nAdministrative Support\nEvent coordination: Linda Garcia & Molly Hunter\nEvent promotion: Gail Kuhnlein\nGraphic design/art: John Megahan\nPhotography: Dale Austin\n\nImage credits: \nPainted meadow grasshopper\, western rattlesnake\, burrowing owl: Eric LoPresti.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Plans to postpone are TBD.\n\nCLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\,civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film \"Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder\" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer\, Great Lakes South.\n\nAs part of the conference\, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday\, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

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

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Reserve your seat now using Ticket link!!\n\nSpeaker: Clark McCall\, Citizens' Climate Lobby\n\nPart 1- Understanding what we need to do to address the problem of climate change:\n\nWe know climate change is here. We can see serious effects throughout the world already. We know we have a narrow window of time to make changes to avoid the very worst results by limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5-2.0℃. But what exactly will it take to stay within this limit? What changes have the greatest impact? Electric vehicles? Eating a vegetarian diet? Subsidies for solar? A fee on carbon? With the help of a trained facilitator using a policy simulator tool\, session attendees will have a chance to discuss different options and explore what impact they will have. Come to this session with your ideas for making an impact and leave knowing what different changes have the most impact.\n\nPart 2- How does a fee on carbon and dividend support environmental justice?\n\nExperts agree that a fee on carbon and a dividend is one of the best policies for addressing climate change. But how does an added fee affect our budgets? How can people with low income manage a carbon fee? This session will examine the economic and personal impacts of a carbon fee and dividend on both the climate and on people.
