SUMMARY:Exhibition:Between Past and Future: Wang Qingsong 1999-2006
DESCRIPTION:Curated by ZHANG Fang\, this art exhibition will include six of WANG Qingsong’s representative photo works that depict the traumatic transformations that have taken place inside China. These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades.  \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge.  \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\,  and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a  pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Quantum Nano-Photonic Devices Based on Rare-Earth Ions
DESCRIPTION:Quantum light-matter interfaces that reversibly map photonic quantum states onto atomic states\, are essential components in the quantum engineering toolbox with applications in quantum communication\, computing\, and quantum-enabled sensing. I present a new platform for on-chip quantum light-matter interfaces based on nanophotonic resonators coupled to rare-earth-ions in crystals.  The rare-earth ions exhibit long coherence times on optical transitions\, which makes them suitable for optical quantum memories. We demonstrate a high-fidelity nanophotonic quantum memory based on a mesoscopic neodymium ensemble coupled to a photonic crystal cavity. The nanocavity enables >95% spin polarization for efficient initialization of the atomic frequency comb memory\, and time-bin-selective readout via enhanced optical Stark shift of the comb frequencies. Our current technology can be readily transferred to Erbium doped devices for telecom memories that can be integrated with silicon photonics. Besides ensemble memories\, single rare-earth-ions coupled to nano-resonators can be used as single optically addressable quantum bits where the quantum state is mapped on their Zeeman or hyperfine levels with long coherence time. Our solid-state nano-photonic quantum light-matter interfaces can be integrated with other chip-scale photon source and detector devices for multiplexed quantum and classical information processing at the nodes of quantum networks. I also discuss prospects for integration with superconducting resonators and qubits\, which can lead to devices for reversible quantum transduction of optical photons to microwave photons\, thus enabling optical interconnects between superconducting quantum computers.\n\nBiography: Dr. Andrei Faraon is an Assistant Professor of Applied Physics at California Institute of Technology. After earning a B.S. degree in physics with honors in 2004 at California Institute of Technology\, he received his M.S. in Electrical Engineering and PhD in Applied Physics both from Stanford University in 2009. At Stanford\, Dr. Faraon was involved with seminal experiments on quantum optics using single indium arsenide quantum dots strongly coupled to photonic crystal cavities in gallium arsenide. After earning his PhD\, Dr. Faraon spent three years as a postdoctoral fellow at Hewlett Packard Laboratories. At HP he was involved with pioneering experiments on diamond quantum photonic devices coupled to solid-state spins. He demonstrated the first nano-resonators coupled to single nitrogen vacancy centers in mono-crystalline diamond.\n\nFaraon left HP in 2012 to become an Assistant Professor at Caltech\, where he set up a laboratory specialized in developing nano-photonic technologies for devices that operate close to the fundamental limit of light-matter interaction. He is focused both on fundamental challenges on how to control the interaction between single atoms and single photons using nano-technologies\, and on using nano-photonics to build cutting edge devices for imaging and sensing. He is the recipient of the 2015 National Science Foundation CAREER award\, the 2015 Air Force Office of Scientific Research young investigator award and the 2016 Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | The Way She Saw It: Introducing Gauri Lankesh
DESCRIPTION:The talk introduces the life and work of Gauri Lankesh\, the courageous journalist and activist who was assassinated in Bangalore last year. After a fifteen year stint in mainstream English journalism\, Gauri became editor of Lankesh Patrike\, a major Kannada weekly\, in 2000. The subsequent years saw her emerge as an important social and political activist in Karnataka. What were her political concerns? What forms did her activism take? An engagement with these questions illustrates the challenges and dilemmas of being a secular activist in India. Examining the public responses to her death\, the talk also attempts to grasp the changing political culture in India.\n\nChandan Gowda's research interests include social theory\, Indian normative traditions\, caste\, and Kannada literature and cinema. In addition to his academic publications\, he has written for newspapers and published translations of Kannada fiction and non-fiction in English. Before moving to APU\, he was Associate Professor of Sociology at the Centre for the Study of Social Exclusion\, National Law School of India\, Bengaluru\, between 2008 and 2011. He is presently completing a book on the cultural politics of development in old Mysore state.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Super Powers in Turmoil: The Turn of the 7th Century and the Rebirth of Jewish Apocalyptic Literature
DESCRIPTION:Spanning the 4th and 7th century we find a revival of Jewish apocalyptic literature. This period of turmoil culminated at the turn of the 7th century in the Persian conquest\, Byzantine re-conquest\, and finally the Muslim conquest of Palestine. This talk will explore how these episodes reverberated in Jewish messianic and apocalyptic literature. While thus far\, the late antique Jewish messianic matrix has been treated within its own limited boundaries -- that is within Jewish sources and own apocalyptic world-view -- Professor Irshai will argue for the importance of existing links between Christian\, Jewish (and Moslem) redemptive aspirations. Professor Irshai will highlight how these traditions used similar time frames (e.g. from the Book of Daniel) and interpreted natural phenomena (such as earthquakes) as heralding the approaching “end of times.”\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Snigdha Panigrahi\, Department of Statistics\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:The goal of eQTLS (Expression quantitative trait loci studies) is to identify and quantify effects of how genetic variants regulate the expression of genes in different biological contexts. The outcome variables (typically on the order of 20\,000) are molecular measurements of gene expression and the predictors are genotypes (typically on the order of 1\,000\,000). The identification of regulatory variants in eQTLS (Consortium et al. (2015)\; Ongen et al. (2015)\; Consortium et al. (2017)) proceeds in a hierarchical fashion: the first stage of such a selection identifies promising genes\, followed by a search of potential functional variants in a neighborhood around these discovered genes. Once promising candidates for functional variants have been detected\, the logical next step is to attempt to estimate their effect sizes. However obtaining samples corresponding to a human tissue remains a costly endeavor. Thereby\, eQTLS continue to be based on relatively small sample sizes with this limitation particularly serious for tissues as brain\, liver\, etc.– the organs of most immediate medical relevance. Naive estimates that ignore the genome-wide selection preceding inference can lead to misleading conclusions about that the magnitudes of the true underlying associations. Due to scarcity of biological samples\, the problem of reliable effect size estimation is often deferred to future studies and therefore\, inadequately addressed in the eQTLS research community. \n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss a principled approach that allows the geneticist to use the available dataset both for discoveries and follow-up estimation of the associated effect sizes\, adjusted for the considerable amount of prior mining. Motivated to measure these effect sizes as consistent point estimates and intervals with target coverage\, my methods are modeled along the conditional approach to selective inference\, introduced in Lee et al. (2016). The proposed procedure is based on a randomized hierarchical strategy that reflects state of the art investigations and introduces the use of randomness instead of data splitting to optimize the use of available data. I will describe the computational bottleneck in performing randomized conditional inference. To overcome these hurdles\, I will describe a novel set of techniques that have higher inferential power than prior selective inference work in Lee et al. (2016).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:URBAN COOL\, ADDRESSING HEAT\, HEALTH AND HABITAT IN THE ANTHROPOCENE
DESCRIPTION:Doug Kelbaugh\, Taubman College Emil Lorch Collegiate Professor of Architecture and Urban Planning and  2016 Winner of the Topaz Medallion for Excellence in Architectural Education\, lectures on how cities combat climate change.\n\nThe illustrated talk will connect the dots on the role that the built environment plays in addressing the increasingly urgent problems of local and global warming. Urban Heat Islands and other forms of extreme heat such as heat waves kill more people than any type of natural disaster\, as well as threaten the sustained livability and health of many cities. Luckily\, the four design antidotes to heat islands simultaneously address climate change. And because heat islands are more immediately palpable than climate change\, they can motivate humans to act more quickly and decisively against the unfolding\, unprecedented and catastrophic climate challenge at both the local and global level.\n\nTaubman College Associate Professor of Urban and Regional Planning and Natural Resourcese Larissa Larsen and Urban Planning alumna Missy Stults (Ph.D. 2016) will respond to the lecture in a panel\, in this first ever collaboration between the Urban and Regional Planning Program and the Michigan Chapter of the Congress of the New Urbanism. Dr. Missy Stults is a climate adaptation expert who works with local\, regional\, and tribal communities to enhance resilience towards climate change and natural disasters\, and Larissa Larsen is certified environmental planner and landscape architect who conducts research quantifying environmental injustices related to urban heat islands and climate change.\n\nThis event is a collaboration between Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning's Urban and Regional Planning Department\, and the Michigan Chapter of the Congress for the New Urbanism

SUMMARY:Performance:Daimh
DESCRIPTION:Come hear the Scots band Irish Music Magazine calls \"one of the most exhilarating acoustic bands on the Celtic music map\"! Dàimh (the word means \"kinship\" in Scots Gaelic) is based in Lochaber in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland\; an area as much renowned for its scenic beauty as for its rich musical and cultural heritage. A long‐established favorite at folk festivals in Scotland and Ireland and across Europe\, Dàimh recently took home Scots Trad Band of the Year honors at the Scots Traditional Music Awards\, Dàimh are also regulars on BBC television. Recent lineup changes have seen the introduction of Gaelic champion Griogair Labhruidh\, on vocals and Uillean Pipes\, adding the depth and power of his commanding vocal performances to an already phenomenal instrumental arsenal of bagpipes\, fiddle\, mandolin and guitar. From pyrotechnic jigs and reels to achingly poignant ballads\, Dàimh runs the full expressive gamut of folk music at its best\, and is justly renowned for their thrilling live shows.

DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet
DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS): Guns and Pro-Social Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Evidence from psychology shows that perceptions of our environment are influenced by the actions we can take in that environment\, and handgun access has been shown to increase the likelihood of perceiving others as possessing a handgun. Prof. Wozniak will discuss in-progress work that combines lab experimental approaches from economics and psychology to determine whether handgun access also influences higher order decision-making. The goal of this in-progress research is to determine whether randomized access to a realistic handgun object affects choices when subjects face real (financial) consequences.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era showcases the works of Heidi Barlow\, Shaina Kasztelan\, and Bailey Scieszka\, three young women artists based in Detroit\, MI. Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry  and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The ‘CSI Effect’
DESCRIPTION:Prosecutors claim that jurors who watch shows like “CSI” on television are “wrongfully” acquitting guilty criminals when they don’t see the kind of forensic science evidence that they see on TV.  The media has labeled this the “CSI Effect”.  But is it true?  \n\nThis class for those 50 and over discusses empirical research into real juror expectations and demands for scientific evidence\, whether it might better be called the “tech effect”\, and how the criminal justice system needs to adjust to these modern jurors.\n\nThis study group will meet for 90 minutes and will be led by Donald Shelton\, who directs the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at UM-Dearborn.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n                                                                                                                                                                        \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

DESCRIPTION:Suzy Lake was born and raised in Detroit. Following the social and political unrest of the 1960’s Lake emigrated to Montreal in 1968\, where she was among the first female artists in the nation to adopt performance\, video\, and photography to explore the politics of gender\, the body\, and identity. In this exhibition\, Lake returns to her childhood neighborhood and various locations central to her family history to explore the cycles of urban development and decay in working class Detroit\, as well as her experience with ageism.\n\nExhibition Dates: January 19 - February 25\nHours: Open during exhibitions Tuesday through Sunday\, 11:00 am - 5:00 pm\; Thursday and Friday\, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Series | The Quest for New Physics: From Atomic Physics to the LHC
DESCRIPTION:The Standard Model of particle physics well describes a vast number of observables up to the TeV scale. However\, it cannot be a complete description of Nature as it cannot explain various experimental observations. For example\, it lacks a viable dark matter candidate and can neither explain the observed matter/antimatter asymmetry of our Universe nor neutrino oscillations. Thus\, physics beyond the Standard Model is well motivated. In this seminar\, we explore different methods to probe new physics at multiple energy scales\, from high energy colliders\, such as the LHC\, to precision low energy experiments. In particular\, we focus on searches for new force carriers at the LHCb experiment and in precision atomic spectroscopy. We show that the inclusive search for dark photons at the LHCb experiment already probes new parameter space and can be easily interpreted for a large variety of new physics models. On the precision frontier\, we explore the potential of isotope shift spectroscopy to probe new long range force carriers.

SUMMARY:Other:Live Robotic Border Crossers Performances
DESCRIPTION:Join us as students from the Border Crossers project launch the robotic border crossers--transported via a student-made autonomous vehicle--at three campus locations.\n\nDuring winter semester 2018\, students across campus—from LSA\, Engineering\, Art and Design\, and Information—will work with visiting artist Chico MacMurtrie planning\, building\, and launching a 40-foot robotic sculpture that poetically explores the notion of borders and boundary conditions.  \n\nMacMurtrie’s artist residency and interdisciplinary project\, \"Border Crossers\,\" led by the Institute for the Humanities\, encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nThe project symbolizes the humanities in action\, and the empowerment that can be achieved through working together\, overcoming obstacles and divides\, and discovering creative solutions.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is an award winning artist\, renowned internationally for his large-scale robotic sculpture\, whose work combines materiality and robotics\, the visceral and conceptual. MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. \n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project are sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.\n\n\nBorder Crossers Events\nBorder Crossers installation\nFeb 16-March 23 2018\nInstitute for the Humanities Gallery\, 202 S.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Between Past and Future: Wang Qingsong 1999-2006
DESCRIPTION:Curated by ZHANG Fang\, this art exhibition will include six of WANG Qingsong’s representative photo works that depict the traumatic transformations that have taken place inside China. These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades.  \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge.  \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\,  and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a  pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong

SUMMARY:Presentation:Lost and Found in the Digital
DESCRIPTION:As the number of digital humanities approaches continues to grow\, libraries and other institutions must increasingly grapple with how to catalog\, preserve\, and present digital work\, which means engaging big\, time-critical conversations about standards and possibilities in the face of constant technological emergence. In this presentation\, however\, I will be asking us to think about the smallness of individuals\, namely the interplay between the ephemeral and the institutional that has become increasingly recognizable as foundational to many scholars' intellectual growth. As the digital increasingly becomes part of the terrain\, what will count as a scholarly legacy? What have digital affordances fundamentally changed about our potential relationships to the scholarly industrial complex? What has been lost? Who has been found? And how do these considerations fit into a larger conversation about digital preservation?\n\nMarisa Parham is Professor of English at Amherst College\, and directs the Immersive Reality Lab for the Humanities\, which is a workgroup for digital and experimental humanities. She also serves as a faculty diversity and inclusion officer. Her current teaching and research projects focus on texts and technologies that problematize assumptions about time\, space\, and bodily materiality. She is particularly interested in how such terms share a history of increasing complexity in texts produced by African Americans\, and how they also offer ways of thinking about intersectional approaches to digital humanities and technology studies.\n\nMarisa Parham holds a PhD in English and Comparative Literature from Columbia University\, and is the author of Haunting and Displacement in African-American Literature and Culture\, The African-American Student’s Guide to College\, and is co-editor of Theorizing Glissant: Sites and Citations.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME 500 Seminar: Alex Cartagena-Rivera\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:This event is occurring at a different time and place than the other BME seminars in the series. Please note that Alex Cartagena-Rivera will be speaking on Wednesday\, February 14 at 3:30 pm in LBME 1123.\n\n \nAlexander X. Cartagena-Rivera\nBME Faculty Candidate and Guest Speaker\nNational Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders\nNational Institutes of Health\n                                             \n    “Cellular and Tissue Mechanical Regulation – Towards an Understanding of Self-Organization in Mechanobiology”\n \nAbstract:\nDetermination of critical physical parameters of complex biological systems is key for understanding the relationships between molecular structure\, biophysical properties\, and biological function of cells and tissues. Recently\, I developed novel minimally invasive atomic force microscopy (AFM) methods for the quantitative determination of relevant mechanical properties of the (i) actomyosin cortex of nonadherent cells\, (ii) apical surface and apico-lateral junctional complexes of polarized epithelia\, and (iii) sensory stereociliary bundles in the inner ear.\n \nThe cortical actin cytoskeleton lies just beneath the plasma membrane defining cell shape and mechanical properties\, and thus plays a key role in cellular processes such as migration and morphogenesis\, and contributes to the macroscale mechanics of tissues. I developed an AFM method for using an AFM with tipless cantilevers to determine actomyosin cortical tension\, elastic modulus\, and intracellular pressure of human fibroblast and melanoma nonadherent cells. I applied this new method to determine changes in cortical actin molecular dynamics after treatment with drugs and administration of siRNAs targeting the actomyosin cytoskeleton. The results suggested that myosin II activity\, actin polymerization\, and actin branching all contribute to cortex tension and intracellular pressure\, whereas the cortical elastic modulus is more dependent on myosin II activity. Subsequently\, I developed a novel noncontact AFM method to measure the apical surface tension\, fluidity\, and intercellular adhesive forces in polarized epithelia. This study demonstrated dramatic changes in epithelial mechanics of the adherent junctional complex after depletion of the tight junction proteins zonula occludens 1 and 2. Lastly\, I extended the noncontact AFM method to determine the elastic stiffness and viscous damping of stereocilia bundles in the inner ear sensory cells. The results suggested that deletion of the horizontal top connectors in the outer hair cells dramatically reduces the bundle mechanics\, which correlates with other studies showing that absence of top connectors eliminates bundle cohesion and the waveform distortion products.\nAltogether\, these novel noninvasive AFM methods\, designed to measure cell and monolayer mechanical properties are easily and generally applicable to a large variety of cell based experiments and should dramatically improve our understanding of how changes in mechanical properties are associated with critical cellular processes\, development\, and disease progression.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Active Space Experiments with Relativistic Electron Accelerators
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will discuss new space applications that are enabled by the recent development of compact\, relativistic electron accelerators. First\, I will describe a mission concept\, called CONNection EXplorer (CONNEX)\, to connect magnetospheric physical processes to auroral phenomena. CONNEX is based on an electron beam fired from a magnetospheric spacecraft along magnetic field lines and optically imaging the beam spot in the ionosphere. The mitigation steps undertaken for the successful development of CONNEX will be discussed\, with a particular focus on a scheme for mitigating critical issues of spacecraft charging induced by the electron beam. Second\, I will discuss application of relativistic electron beams for radiation belt remediation. In this context\, electron beams can excite plasma waves that can be exploited via wave-particle interaction to reduce hazardous fluxes of energetic particles to safer levels. I will also touch upon innovative numerical tools being used in support of these activities.\n\nGian Luca Delzanno obtained his MS in Nuclear Engr. (1999) and PhD in Plasma Physics (2003) from Politecnico di Torino (PT) in Italy. After a postdoctoral position with the Burning Plasma Research Group at PT\, in 2005 he moved to the T-5 Applied Mathematics and Plasma Physics Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory\, initially as a postdoctoral associate and later as a technical staff member. His research interests are in theoretical and computational plasma physics. His work addresses development of numerical methods for multi-scale plasma physics simulations with application to space-physics. The latter include the SHIELDS project to develop global space-weather models of the near-Earth environment including substorm physics\, the CONNEX project to study magnetosphere-ionosphere-coupling with relativistic electron beams\, and wave-particle-interaction physics.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture | Modern Armenian Historiography: Suggestions for Periodization
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sanjian will analyze the development of Armenian historiography\, i.e. the study of the methods of Armenian historians from the Middle Ages to the present\, together with the changing interpretations of key events in the Armenian past recorded in the works of their predecessors. He will suggest a tentative periodization\, emphasizing the medieval period (5th-18th cc. C.E.) and the successive periods of the influence of Father Mikayel Chamchian in the late early modern era (late 18th-mid-19th cc.)\, historism (late 19th c.-1920)\, and Soviet Marxism (1920-1991)\, culminating in the present era of post-Soviet independence (from 1991). \n    \nDr. Ara Sanjian is an Associate Professor of History and the Director of the Armenian Research Center at the University of Michigan\, Dearborn. He received his master’s degree in history from Yerevan State University (1991) and his PhD from the University of London (1996). From 1996 to 2005 he taught at Haigazian University in Beirut and was the Henry S. Khanzadian Kazan Visiting Professor in Armenian Studies at California State University\, Fresno in 2003. His research interests focus on the post-World War I history of Armenia\, Turkey and the Arab states of Western Asia.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Comb-based Multidimensional Coherent Spectroscopy
DESCRIPTION:Over the last 20 years\, there have been two seemingly disconnected developments in optical spectroscopy: frequency combs and multidimensional coherent spectroscopy. Frequency combs revolutionized optical frequency metrology and enabled optical atomic clocks while multidimensional coherent spectroscopy became a powerful tool for studying dynamics on ultrafast time scales in atomic\, molecular and solid-state systems. Inspired by a method known as \"dual comb spectroscopy\"\, we have recently combined these two developments by demonstrating comb-based multidimensional coherent spectroscopy\, which leverages the best aspects of both.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:II Round Table. The Future of International Justice: Lessons from the Yugoslav Tribunal
DESCRIPTION:II Round Tables promote informed discussion on current world events and issues. This round table will examine the legacy of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the future of international prosecution of severe human rights violations. Established in 1993 by the United Nations Security Council\, ICTY was the first international court to prosecute war crimes since the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials. With 161 indictments in 24 years\, including notable political and military leaders\, the ICTY boasts substantial accomplishments\, and its impact extends beyond legal and political domains to the realm of psychological and sexual violence. As its official activities draw to a close\, what are the lasting legacies of the ICTY\, and how have subsequent international justice efforts been influenced? \n\nThe panel of four experts have direct experience in the ICTY and/or other international justice approaches. They will discuss their own experiences at the international courts and the future of international justice.\n\nModerator:\nSusan Waltz\nGerald R.

SUMMARY:Other:Perovskite – a Wonder for Photovoltaic & Optoelectronic Applications
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                A new type of perovskite\, a hybrid material with both organic and inorganic components\, has appeared to be a wonder for its excellent optical absorption\, long range charge-carrier diffusion and apparent tolerance to defects. In the last few years\, it has been emerged as a primary candidate material for various photovoltaic\, optoelectronic and photoelectronic applications. In just a few years\, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite solar cells has been improved from 3.8% to >22%. Moreover\, the solar cell fabrication processes based on the planar architecture have been particularly enthusiastic thanks to their low temperature fabrication and compatibility with a range of substrates. Comparing solution deposition and vacuum deposition\, the vacuum processes for thermal co-deposition and sequential deposition of PbCl2 and CH3NH3I materials are recognized as efficient means to prepare perovskite film with good uniformity and high surface coverage. \nA vacuum deposition process has been developed to fabricate high efficiency perovskite solar cells with high stability using alternating layer-by-layer vacuum deposition. The new deposition process allows us to relax the strict deposition monitoring and control measures\, while realizing superior uniformity in film morphology\, surface coverage and smoothness\, together with crystalline phase purity. More importantly\, we have developed a superior low temperature TiO2 coating and transferred the cell fabrication process onto lightweight flexible polymeric substrate. Our current status for the rigid thin film cell efficiency is 22% and that for the flexible device over 18.3%\, both are the highest for their respective category. Meanwhile\, the devices show very good stability over long term exposure in ambient with very low degradation. After a representative cell was exposed in ambient lab condition for a year\, its final cell efficiency is as high as over 95% of its initial efficiency with its degradation accounts for only smaller than 5%. Further analysis on the stability of the perovskite solar cells will be discussed.\nWe have also developed a series of single-crystalline perovskites with superior stability and optoelectronic performance.\n\nReferences： \n[1]	D.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Magic or Miracle? How this Question Divided Ancient Jews and Christians
DESCRIPTION:West Bloomfield Lecture Series: Jews and Judaism in Antiquity\n\nResearch into the “parting of the ways” between ancient Jews and Christians typically focuses on the ideological borders constructed by ancient authors. However\, these writings obscure the experience of non-elites\, for whom the exigencies of daily life – such as the health of one’s family – may have overshadowed rhetorical concerns. Rabbinic and patristic authors used rituals intended to preserve or restore health as a means of distinguishing Jews and Christians\, reflecting a common belief that ritual cures were miracles if they took place within one’s own community and magic if they took place outside it. Nevertheless\, Roman and late antique evidence from Israel suggests that non-elites were undeterred by this rhetoric and were willing to experiment with seemingly beneficial rituals\, such as the use of amulets\, even if they were similar to ones popular among foreign religious or cultural groups.\n\nPhoto Credit: Walters Art Museum [Public domain\, CC BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0) or GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html)]\, via Wikimedia Commons

DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ink Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Based out of Chelsea\, Michigan\, John Pappas believes that if you can imagine a fun idea making sense\, you should make it. He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Prairie Mantras: Paint & Vinyl on Aluminum
DESCRIPTION:Desiree Warren’s current body of work is a journey using one shape (the orzo) to create a multitude of layers that evoke landscapes and organic assimilations. Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Desert Southwest: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Fab/Post-Fab: Art in a Readymade Era showcases the works of Heidi Barlow\, Shaina Kasztelan\, and Bailey Scieszka\, three young women artists based in Detroit\, MI. Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry  and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PLAUSIBLE FUTURES: APPROACHING ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN DESIGN FROM A COMPLEX SYSTEMS PERSPECTIVE
DESCRIPTION:Geoffrey Thün is Associate Professor of Architecture and Associate Dean for Research and Creative Practice at UM’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. He is a founding partner in the research-based practice RVTR. Thün holds an M.U.D. from the University of Toronto\, and a Professional B.Arch. and B.E.S. from the University of Waterloo. He uses a complex systems approach in his work\, which ranges in scale from high performance buildings\, to cities and regional territories. \n\nDrawing from examples of Thün’s work\, contemporary practice\, and what he perceives as the frontiers of research in architecture and urban design\, this talk will outline a manifesto for a future of design for the built environment based upon principles of ecological and complex systems. \n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us. The next lecture series will start March 8\, 2018. The title is Behavioral and Social Sciences: Real World Applications.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n                                                                                                                                                                        \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Imperial Japan and the Nature of Borders in Occupied Inner Mongolia
DESCRIPTION:The multiethnic landscape of Inner Mongolia posed fundamental problems around governance and legibility for Japanese authorities after they invaded Northeast China in 1931. This talk examines how Japanese occupiers separated out nomadic and sedentary livelihoods along a new internal border through population transfers and rural development. Here\, Japanese imperialism transformed an earlier policy of assimilation into a blueprint for establishing zones of ethnic autonomy. Inner Mongolia later became the first of these zones in 1947. Instead of only seeing the origins of Communist rule as forged in the fires of war against imperialism\, this talk points to the significance of the Japanese occupation in shaping the ethnic and ecological bounds of modern China. \n    \nSakura Christmas is an Assistant Professor of History and Asian Studies at Bowdoin College. A scholar of modern Japan\, she focuses on the history of imperialism\, the environment\, and the borderlands. She is currently revising her first book\, \"Nomadic Borderlands: Imperial Japan and the Origins of Ethnic Autonomy in China\".

SUMMARY:Meeting:U-M MLK Symposium Cross-Campus Planning Meeting
DESCRIPTION:YOU’RE INVITED!\n\nThe University of Michigan Martin Luther King\, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public\, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme\, the artwork for the event booklet\, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students\, faculty\, staff and administrators across campus. \n\nWe welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice\, civil and human rights\, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal\, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events\, sharing department or org events\, and always reflecting on current affairs\, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community. \n\nSTUDENTS! (undergrad\, grad\, professional\, etc) We need your voice at the table!\n\nMore information about putting your event in the booklet or online\, the history of speakers\, and other ways to get involved\, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).\n\nPlease email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting\, so that we may have an accurate food count.\n\nThe theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections\, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past\, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act\, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence\, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Between Past and Future: Wang Qingsong 1999-2006
DESCRIPTION:Curated by ZHANG Fang\, this art exhibition will include six of WANG Qingsong’s representative photo works that depict the traumatic transformations that have taken place inside China. These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades.  \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge.  \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\,  and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a  pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Why I Like Ethanol
DESCRIPTION:Margaret S. Wooldridge\nArthur F. Thurnau Professor \nDepartments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\nDirector\, Dow Sustainability Fellows Program\nUniversity of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\n\nFull seminar title - Successfully integrating sustainable fuels into the transportation sector – or why I like ethanol\n\nThe barriers to changing the fuels that currently power the transportation infrastructure are diverse and significant.  However\, transitioning to sustainable fuels offers many benefits if fuel properties are leveraged well.  In this presentation\, current fossil fuel use is briefly reviewed framing the challenges and motivation to move away from fossil fuels and towards low carbon renewable fuels.  Bridging the gap between fundamental studies of fuel properties and engineering applications is critical to maximizing the benefits and minimizing the unforeseen effects of changing fuels.  Experimental results spanning from the fundamental combustion chemistry of ethanol to the convolution of chemistry\, spray and mixing properties of ethanol\, and the impact of ethanol in engine studies are presented.  The key outcomes from each study are highlighted particularly in the context of how results are transferred to technology implementation.  \n\nBiographical Sketch\nProfessor Margaret Wooldridge is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering and the Director of the Dow Sustainability Fellow Program at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.  She received her Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Stanford University in 1995\; her M.S.M.E. in 1991 from S.U. and her B.S. M.E. degree from the University of Illinois at Champagne/Urbana in 1989.  Prof. Wooldridge’s research program spans diverse areas where high-temperature chemically reacting systems are critical\, including power and propulsion systems\, fuel chemistry\, and synthesis methods for advanced nanostructured materials.  She is a 2013 recipient of the Department of Energy Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award for exceptional contributions to the DOE mission to advance national\, economic\, and energy security of the U.S.  She is a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)\, and the recipient of numerous honors including the ASME George Westinghouse Silver Medal\, ASME Pi Tau Sigma Gold Medal\, an NSF Career Award\, and the SAE Ralph R.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Communication and Media Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores how assumptions about humans as evolved\, embodied and embedded biological nested systems can be used to approach communication as a an adaptation that evolved to increase short term survival. Studies are presented testing hypotheses derived from this approach which explore how pictures differ from words\, how persuasion can be conceptualized as the dynamic destabilization of behavioral states\, how action perception theories reshape our understanding of what we remember from media\, and how video games function to destabilize real world behavioral attractors and create game attractors through action in a virtual world.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Critical Conversations: Media Studies at the Intersection of Theory and Practice
DESCRIPTION:This new Screen Arts and Cultures speaker series creates a space for film and media scholars and artists/practitioners to engage in dialogues about past and contemporary topics that influence media industries\, audiences\, and society at large. Aymar Jean Christian\, Assistant Professor in the School of Communication Studies at Northwestern University\, and Hollywood screenwriter and television writer LaToya Morgan will inaugurate the “Critical Conversations” series. They will explore the ways in which race and gender might influence access to Hollywood and how new media platforms have formed new spaces for narrating/screening multiple stories\, people\, and experiences.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Plant variability and the ecology of plant-insect interactions
DESCRIPTION:Organism grow and reproduce best under a specific set of biotic and abiotic conditions\, yet a quick look outside reveals a world that is astoundingly variable. Organisms face massive biotic and abiotic variability and only rarely experience their optimal conditions. How all this variability influences population and community ecology is poorly understood. In this talk\, I explore how plant trait diversity affects the performance and population dynamics of insect herbivores. First\, I use a meta-analysis to show that variance in plant nutrient levels reduces insect herbivore performance\, suggesting that plant diversity suppresses insects\, while monocultures benefit insects. Second\, I use a natural plant-herbivore system to show that average plant quality can be less important than variance in plant quality for insect population dynamics. Finally\, I present preliminary results from a new experimental approach to studying the consequences of trait variability along specific trait axes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Combee\": Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and Transformation in Gullah Geechee Identity
DESCRIPTION:\"Combee\" interprets on a unique compilation of primary historical sources\, which show how localized groups who stole their freedom from Combahee rice plantations viewed themselves and viewed other groups from Sea Island cotton plantations and urban centers like Savannah and Beaufort when they were all resettled in Beaufort during the critical Civil War period. This talk chronicles this important microcosm of creolization using the experiences of Blacks enslaved on Combahee River rice plantations and freed in the 1863 raid to create a model of cultural change among New World African cultures and their complicated and nuanced relationships to pre-colonial Western Africa\, their environments\, and the plantation economies in which they were enslaved.  \n\nEdda L. Fields-Black is an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the Department of History). Fields-Black is the author of Deep Roots: Rice Farmers in West Africa and the African Diaspora (2008\, 2014). With Francesca Bray\, Peter Coclanis\, and Dagmar Schaeffer\, Fields-Black co-edited Rice: Global Networks and New Histories (2015\, 2017)\, which won Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2015. She is currently writing Combee: Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and the Construction of Gullah Geechee Identity\, which chronicles an important microcosm of creolization using the experiences of Blacks enslaved on Combahee River rice plantations and freed in the 1863 raid to create a model of cultural change among New World African cultures and their complicated and nuanced relationships to pre-colonial Western Africa\, their environments\, and the plantation economies in which they were enslaved. For her research on the Gullah Geechee\, Fields-Black was awarded a Smithsonian Senior Fellowship at the in the Spring semester of 2013\, an Andrew W. Mellon New Directions Fellowship for the 2013-2014 academic year\, and a Senior Ford Foundation Fellowship for the 2017-2018 academic year.  \n\nIn addition\, Fields-Black is currently collaborating with filmmaker Julie Dash and composer Dr. Trevor Weston to produce Casop: A Requiem for Rice\, a lamentation for the repose of the souls of the dead who were enslaved\, exploited\, and brutalized on Lowcountry South Carolina and Georgia’s rice plantations and who remain unburied\, unmourned\, and unmarked. Fields-Black is writing the libretto on which Casop is based. Opening in 2018\, this musical production for symphony orchestra\, choir\, and West African drummers and dancers will memorialize the sufferings and sacrifices of Africans enslaved on Lowcountry South Carolina and Georgia Rice plantations and celebrate the critical role their ingenuity\, technology\, and industry played in the economy of the US South.  \n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Exhibit Celebration for Mr. Vignaud's Maps: Unraveling a Cartographic Mystery from the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly Third Thursday in the Clark Library\, where we’ll celebrate the maps of Henry Vignaud and get a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam. \n\nThe University of Michigan acquired the extensive personal library of Vignaud\, an American diplomat living in Paris\, in 1922. It included thousands of books\, atlases\, maps\, and other publications\, with many of the maps extracted from broken atlases originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.

SUMMARY:Performance:Musicology Distinguished Lecture Series: Prof. Kyra Gaunt\, Uni. of Albany
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Kyra Gaunt will share her reflections from collaborative study and participant-observation of YouTube\, music\, and user-generated content. Since international Women’s Day in 2013\, she has been examining music discovery and marginalization in user-generated content through a case study of YouTube twerking. Dr. Gaunt offers her insights into the unintended consequences of race\, gender\, and technology for the field of ethnomusicology and music studies more broadly. Music is a pivotal driver in mobile technologies and the harmful consequences of YouTube content creation\, search algorithms\, and archiving for the most vulnerable and marginalized people online demand our critical\, creative\, and collaborative attention.\n\nProf. Gaunt's lecture launches a series of scholarly and musical events on campus that coincide with the first performance at Hill Auditorium of Porgy and Bess based on the U-M Gershwin Initiative’s scholarly performing edition.\n\nCo-sponsored by the U-M Gershwin Initiative
