SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.”

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
DESCRIPTION:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic\nJanuary 24\, 2019 – March 2\, 2019\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic\, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Measuring self-similarity: power-laws and discrete scaling in blood vessels\, earthquakes and fractals
DESCRIPTION:Wealth\, earthquakes\, blood vessels\, turbulence and many other phenomena follow power-law probabilities with \"black swan\" behavior: extreme values such as billionaires or the 1906 San Francisco earthquake occur far more often than we would expect from seeing typical cases. The exponent of the power law determines the frequency of rare events and its measurement has been a challenge across fields. Power-law distributions arise from a symmetry\, scale invariance\, which is related to self-similarity. I introduce a new kind of power-law probability distribution that only assumes invariance to discrete scale transformations and thereby describes a wider variety of self-similar objects. I show how accounting for discreteness can resolve some of the difficulty of measuring power law exponents: popular maximum-likelihood inference methods are unstable in common empirical contexts and a discrete estimator rescues the method. This results in a 10% correction to measurements of the Gutenberg-Richter earthquake scaling constant and a new method for measuring scaling relationships in fractal objects like circulatory systems and Romanesco broccoli.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Oral Contraceptives and Cognition: A Methodological Perspective on Heterogeneity\n\nEighty-five percent of women in the United States will use oral contraceptives (OCs) for at least 5 years of their life. Given its prevalence\, surprisingly little is known about the psychological and cognitive consequences of “the pill” – consequences that may influence women’s decisions to initiate\, continue\, or discontinue pill use. Relatively consistent findings are beginning to emerge with respect to memory and spatial abilities\, but research on the cognitive correlates of OC use is challenging and riddled with limitations. A primary challenge is heterogeneity: Women are biologically and socially unique\, and they use different types of OCs for different reasons. This suggests that the cognitive effects of OC use may also be unique – to subgroups of users or even to individual women! In this talk\, I will present methodological innovations that overcome past heterogeneity-related research limitations in order to capture the effects of OC use on cognition\, highlighting effects that are relatively uniform across users and those that are unique to individuals. I will accomplish this by: (1) discrediting the notion that differences in personal characteristics between OC users and naturally cycling women are responsible for differences in cognition\, (2) removing heterogeneity among OC users by placing them into homogeneous groups (based on the active ingredients in their pills) before examining effects on cognition\, and (3) capitalizing on heterogeneity by applying person-specific temporal network models to 75-day diary and cognitive testing data from naturally cycling women and women using different types of OCs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Whole Earth\, Fractured Planet: Geohistory\, Climate Justice\, and the Crisis of Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:“We have met the enemy\, and he is us.” Cartoonist Walt Kelly’s iconic poster for the first Earth Day (1970) captured the zeitgeist of a new political imaginary: modern environmentalism. Ever since\, its dominant metaphors – from Spaceship Earth to the Anthropocene – have stressed the fundamental unity of humans in facing\, and creating\, planetary crises. Rightly insisting that humans are part of the web of life\, post-1970 environmentalism rapidly slipped into a second\, more dubious\, worldview: “we” created the conditions and realities of planetary crisis.  The new global environmental imaginary had little sense of capitalism’s global fractures\, above all the ways in which planetary color\, gender\, and class lines have been drawn and violently policed since 1492. As today’s climate crises unfold\, so too has a resurgent Western universalism\, captured in the Anthropocene’s discourse of Man versus Nature. Looking at capitalism’s long history of power and re/production\, Moore shows how movements for planetary justice must directly challenge – and disrupt – the enduring legacies of racism\, sexism\, and colonialism as fundamental drivers of climate crisis and the enrichment of the globe’s One Percent.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Chair's Distinguished Lecture Series - Programmable metamaterials for redirecting stress waves on the fly
DESCRIPTION:Osama R. Bilal\, ETH Postdoctoral Fellow\, California Institute of Technology (Caltech)\n\nMechanical metamaterials are material systems with tailored\, architected geometry\, designed to retain static and dynamic properties that do not exist or rare in nature. This class of materials usually features a structural pattern that repeats spatially (i.e.\, unit cell). Most of the metamaterials properties are inscribed in the unit cell’s frequency dispersion spectrum\, ranging form its stiffness at zero frequency to its wave attenuation capacity at finite frequencies. These metamaterials are well suited to provide new materials-based advances (through geometry rather than chemical composition) to both structural and acoustical engineering of aerospace vehicles and structures. These advances\, for example\, can range from sound and vibration insulation to flow control. A major challenge in metamaterials design is to engineer unit cells that have the ability to change their mechanical properties in a predetermined manner\, within practical time frames. As a demonstration of principle\, we harness geometric and magnetic nonlinearities to tune the metamaterials’ dispersion characteristics. We program our nonlinear metamaterial to redirect stress waves\, on the fly\, in a reversible and element-wise fashion. \n \nAbout the speaker...\nOsama R. Bilal received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder. He is currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Before relocating to Caltech\, he was an ETH postdoctoral fellow in the department of mechanical engineering in ETH Zurich\, Switzerland. His research interest spans the realization of advanced material and structures by design\, autonomous deployment of material systems\, topology optimization\, flow control\, and multifunctional metamaterials. Osama is the recipient of several awards\, including the ARL postdoctoral fellowship (Army)\, ETH postdoctoral fellowship (ETH)\, the Graduate Student Service Award (CU-Boulder)\, the International Student Award (CU-Boulder)\, the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award (CU-Boulder) and the Phononics 2011 Fellowship (National Science Foundation)\, among others.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM/AMO Seminar | Visualizing a relativistic quantum Hall liquid in a graphene quantum dot
DESCRIPTION:Creating and probing the spatial and/or magnetic confinement of particles is ubiquitous in physics\, from thermonuclear fusion to ultracold atoms. Spatial confinement leads to the well known \"particle-in-a-box\"-like states that describe electron behavior in quantum corrals and semiconductor quantum dots (QD). Magnetic confinement leads to charged particles performing tight cyclotron motion and is responsible for the integer quantum Hall effect\, a striking example of a macroscopic topological quantum state of matter. But what happens when we finely tune from spatial to magnetic confinement\, and what role do electron interactions play?\n\nIn this talk I will present scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S) measurements that explore the interplay between the spatial and magnetic confinement of massless Dirac fermions in a custom 'rewritable' graphene quantum dot. I will first describe how graphene electrons can form quasi-bound QD states due to relativistic Klein scattering. As a magnetic field is applied\, I will show measurements that directly visualize the intricate evolution of the atomic shell-like QD states into highly degenerate Landau levels. Here\, increased electron interactions lead to the subsequent formation of a 'wedding cake' structure of compressible-incompressible electron strips\, showing that custom-made QDs are a new platform for corralling quantum Hall liquids.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"Over There\" With the American Expeditionary Forces in France During the Great War
DESCRIPTION:A current exhibit at the William L. Clements Library aims to present the experiences of ordinary Americans who served in France as part of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) during the First World War. Studying hundreds of letters written by soldiers\, postcards\, photographs\, and other diverse materials\, curator Louis Miller discovered some shared themes from these firsthand accounts to explore in the exhibition. Miller’s lecture will discuss some of the exceptional and heartbreaking stories found in the Clements’ archives and present an overview of the exhibit.\n\nJoin us for the lecture at the Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery\; an after-hours viewing of the exhibit at the Clements Library will follow the lecture. Visitors have the opportunity to view both paper and three-dimensional objects relating to the First World War\, including a doughboy helmet\, censored letters\, photographs\, and souvenirs. A pamphlet of excerpts from the writings of Americans who served complements the exhibit.\n\nLouie Miller is an archivist at the University of Michigan’s William L. Clements Library. He has a Masters of Science in Information from the U-M School of Information with a specialization in archives and records management and a Bachelors in History from Kalamazoo College. It was while working on his undergraduate thesis at Kalamazoo that he was first drawn to the topic of American involvement in the First World War.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. Impunity as State Formation: Dictatorship and the Future of Justice in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:The regime of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO)\, which took power in Thailand in the 22 May 2014 coup\, is a dictatorship that has been marked by series of human rights violations including curtailment of freedom of expression\, torture\, arbitrary detention and unjust prosecutions which depart from the letter and spirit of the law. Four years after the coup\, General Prayuth Chan-ocha and the NCPO have gestured towards a willingness to hold elections\, albeit under circumstances highly-constrained by the 2017 Constitution. Taking an assumption that part of the NCPO’s reluctance to exit power is their realization of their many violations of the very law they claim to enforce\, this lecture outlines how and on what charges General Prayuth Chan-ocha and other members of the NCPO could be indicted and prosecuted under domestic criminal law and with respect to Thailand’s international human rights violations. Reflecting on such a possible prosecution within the context of Thai and global histories of human rights and impunity\, Haberkorn also explicates both the urgency of justice and potential obstacles to it. \n    \nTyrell Haberkorn is an associate professor of Southeast Asian studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her work is primarily focused on state violence and dissident cultural politics in Thailand. She is the author of \"Revolution Interrupted: Farmers\, Students\, Law and Violence in Northern Thailand\" (University of Wisconsin Press\, 2011)\, which rethinks the meaning of revolution in terms of legal rather than armed struggle\, and \"In Plain Sight: Impunity and Human Rights in Thailand\" (University of Wisconsin Press\, 2018)\, a new history of post-absolutist Thailand written through the lens of impunity. Tyrell also writes and translates frequently about Southeast Asia for a broad\, public audience\, including \"Dissent\,\" \"Foreign Affairs\,\" \"Los Angeles Review of Books\,\" \"openDemocracy\,\" and \"Prachatai.\" Her work has been funded by fellowships from Fulbright\, the Australian Research Council\, the Association for Asian Studies\, the Radcliffe Institute\, and the Einstein Forum. She can be reached via email at tyrell.haberkorn@wisc.edu. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gut microbiota and Host: The Fight for Iron
DESCRIPTION:Dietary acquisition and intestinal absorption in the mammals is the only way by which its systemic iron requirement is fulfilled. We harbor a diverse group of microbial population in our intestines that also rely on host diet for their iron. It is unclear if and how the gut microbiota compete with the host iron absorption pathways. Germ free (GF) and control mice fed with iron-sufficient (350 ppm)\, moderately iron-containing (35 ppm) and iron-deficient (<5ppm) diets for 2 weeks demonstrated a significant resistance to iron deficiency anemia in the GF compared to the controls. This provides the first evidence of a reciprocal competition between host and commensals for limiting dietary iron. Interestingly\, commensals possess an active mechanism that is inhibitory to the host iron transport system. Using a high throughput microbial screen\, we demonstrate that gut microbiota produce metabolites that suppresses iron absorptive mechanisms. Specifically\, we identified 1\,3-diaminopropane (DAP) and reuterin as inhibitors of the master transcription factor for intestinal iron absorption\, HIF-2a. This suggested that probiotic based therapies could be utilized in iron overload disorders. Both DAP and reuterin effectively ameliorated systemic iron overload in a mouse model\, suggesting these microbiota derived novel HIF-2a inhibitors could be strong candidates for the treatment of various forms of iron overload disorders in human.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions
DESCRIPTION:In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work\, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.”

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
DESCRIPTION:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic\nJanuary 24\, 2019 – March 2\, 2019\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic\, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paul Rand: The Designer's Task
DESCRIPTION:Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity \nPaul Rand was a giant of American design\, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. The Polish Athens: Zakopane as a Center of Polish Culture
DESCRIPTION:The Zakopane of the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, a period referred to as “The Young Poland\,” is of particular importance in Polish culture. It was the freest place in Poland at the time\, partitioned by three neighboring empires – a place where artists\, scientists\, social\, and political activists met. They went there to rest and rejuvenate\; they roamed the Tatra Mountains\, discussed\, created\, and conspired. Visitors at this time included the statesmen Józef Piłsudski and Roman Dmowski\; writers Henryk Sienkiewicz and Stefan Żeromski\; doctor Kazimierz Dłuski\; and aristocrat Władysław Zamoyski. Anyone who meant anything in the spiritual life of the Poles frequented Zakopane\, adding to the aura of this extraordinary place. Among the visitors were also people who became well-known in America: Helena Modjeska\, Ignacy Jan Paderewski\, Artur Rubinstein\, Bronisław Malinowski\, and Joseph Conrad. Thanks to all of them\, this small highlander village became known as the \"Polish Athens” at a time when Zakopane achieved its spiritual peak.\n\nMaciej Krupa\, a journalist and mountain guide who lives and works in Zakopane\, will discuss the importance of this time and place in Polish culture and history. Krupa has authored numerous publications related to Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains and is the co-founder of the local weekly newspaper \"Tygodnik Podhalanski.\"\n\nThis lecture is related to “100 Years of Polish Independence: Zakopane 1918\,” an exhibition of photographs from the archives of the Tatra Museum in Zakopane\, Poland. The Copernicus Program in Polish Studies has curated the exhibit and organized public lectures in collaboration with the Tatra Museum\, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute in Warsaw\, and Culture.pl as part of POLSKA 100\, an international cultural program commemorating the centenary of Poland regaining Independence. It is financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland as part of the multi-year program NIEPODLEGŁA 2017-22. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag | Hamiltonian Truncation and the S^3 Partition Function
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I discuss Hamiltonian truncation\, a toolkit to construct quantum field theories. Hamiltonian truncation is in many ways orthogonal to the more familiar lattice regularization\, and it can be used to systematically compute QFT observables with little computational effort. In the first part of this talk I will review the basic ideas behind this method\, as well as some examples from the literature in d=2 and d>2 dimensions. In the second part I will discuss recent work involving strongly-coupled scalar theories on the three-dimensional sphere. Based on hep-th/1811.00528.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Restorative Justice: An Alternative
DESCRIPTION:This will be a short course for 3 weeks on the roots\, application\, and benefits of restorative justice as an alternative to punishment in our criminal justice system. The focus of restorative justice is on the harm done\, how the victim can be healed\, and how the offender can repair the harm to the victim and community. Carolyn Madden has an MA in Philosophy\, Graduate Center\, N.Y. and JD from Wayne State University. She was the Associate Director and lecturer for the English Language Institute and is a member of Friends of Restorative Justice of Washtenaw County.\nKathie Gourlay has an MBA from the University of Michigan\, currently teaches at Washtenaw Community College\, and is passionately interested in criminal justice reform. She finds restorative justice to be an improved way to respond to criminal acts\, as compared to the standard American retributive approach. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and will meet Wednesdays\, 1:00 -3:00 p.m.\, February 6th through February 20th.

CFTs have wide applicability across theoretical physics\, ranging from boiling water or magnets at criticality to the low-energy dynamics of extended objects in string theory.  In this talk\, I will begin by describing how CFTs can be used to understand critical phenomena\, and then I will discuss a couple of recent ideas that led to tremendous progress in obtaining a quantitative understanding of various corners in the space of all possible CFTs.\n

SUMMARY:Other:Staying one step ahead: fighting unfavorable kinetics in biomass conversion and catalysis
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                                                       After atmospheric CO2\, lignocellulosic biomass is the second-largest source of renewable carbon on our planet. This makes biomass a very attractive source of sustainable alternatives to fossil-derived chemicals. The production of various chemicals from biomass usually involves the depolymerization of biomass’s three constituent polymers: cellulose and hemicellulose\, which are both polysaccharides\; and lignin\, which is a polymer of phenyl propanoid sub-units. These three types of complex molecules are broken down into their constituent monomers\, which include sugars and phenyl propane derivatives. In turn\, these low-molecular weight monomers can be catalytically upgraded to either direct or indirect substitutes for petrochemicals. In both depolymerization and catalytic upgrading\, the biggest challenge is usually not achieving the desired reaction\, but rather avoiding being outcompeted by other\, detrimental reactions. Depolymerization reactions of the major biomass constituents – polysaccharides and lignin – are often outpaced by subsequent degradation reactions of sugars and lignin intermediates. In parallel\, coking reactions and catalyst deactivation processes plague the upgrading of highly oxygenated and water-miscible biomass derivatives.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present several solutions to these challenges that my laboratory has developed. I will show how we can use protection group chemistry\, both during lignin extraction and polysaccharide depolymerization\, to reversibly “trap” stabilized intermediate molecules\, and facilitate their high-yield upgrading1\,2. Notably\, we can show that\, under the right conditions\, extracted lignin can be catalytically upgraded at high yields to as few as 1-2 major products3. I will also discuss how targeted surface modifications on heterogeneous catalysts can lead to dramatic changes in activity\, stability and selectivity\, even in the presence of highly oxygenated renewable streams4–6.\n\nReferences:\n1	L.

SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:Council of Global Student Organizations Introductory Meeting!
DESCRIPTION:The Council of Global Student Organizations is a new international council at the University of Michigan which is focused on connecting all student organizations that travel internationally in order to network\, learn best practices\, and access resources.\n\nCGSO was created because we recognized that many SSO's lack formal training and support from the University of Michigan so we wanted to create a space where all participating organizations can learn the skills to ensure that their initiatives abroad are collaborative and as impactful as possible.\n\nOur first council meeting will be on Wednesday\, February 6th at 6pm in room B1580 in Blau Hall. Please register to attend using this link: tinyurl.com/joincgso.\n\nAt our first meeting you will learn how your org can be apart of a collaborative council on how to responsibly engage with international communities. Enhance your cultural humility and awareness so your project can have a positive impact. Network with others who share your passion for international community engagement and leadership\, and learn how these skills can directly translate to your career.\n\nFor more information please check out our website (tinyurl.com/cgsoumich)\, Facebook page (tinyurl.com/cgsoumichfb) or send us an email (contact-cgso@umich.com).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:He is Still Israel? Conversion and Jewish Identity in the Middle Ages
DESCRIPTION:In the Middle Ages\, Jews often faced pressure to convert to Christianity or Islam. While some did so out of conviction and others out of practical convenience\, many in the Christian world converted as a response to pressure or force. A small number also sought conversion to Judaism. How did fellow Jews view converts and apostates in their midst? Did they distinguish between Jews who chose to leave the fold and those who were anusim\, or \"forced ones”? A traditional rabbinical theme that “Even though he sinned\, he is still Israel” (BT Sanhedrin 44a) often guided discussion of how to deal with conversion\, and not all were in agreement about the rights of a Jew to return to the fold. By the same token\, not all could agree on the status of one who left his own religion to claim a Jewish faith and identity. This talk will present the stories of a variety of converts\, including one story of forced “conversion” from Karaism within the Jewish community itself—to explore how changing religion affected the understanding of Jewish identity in the Middle Ages.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires an accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstudies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Whine\, Werk\, & Roll: The Art of the Lapa
DESCRIPTION:The lap\, worn around the waist\, is the uniform of the African dancer. At its simplest it is a rectangular piece of cloth\, at its most elegant it is a beautiful skirt made of different colors\, textures\, and patterns. Whine\, Werk\, and Roll: the Art of the Lapa celebrates this utilitarian object of beauty and the craftsmanship of the men and women who sew their seams.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions
DESCRIPTION:In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work\, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BUILD A WORKPLACE PEOPLE LOVE - JUST ADD JOY
DESCRIPTION:Menlo Innovations CEO\, Rich Sheridan\, had one thought during a difficult mid-career in the technology industry: ...things can be better -- much better! Ultimately\, Rich and co-founder James Goebel invented Menlo Innovations in 2001 to “end human suffering in the world as it relates to technology.” Their unique company—which creates custom software--is so interesting that almost 4\,000 people a year travel from around the world to see it. Rich is author of Joy\, Inc. - How We Built a Workplace People Love. His second book\, Chief Joy Officer\, is due in December.\n\nRich will explore what an intentionally joyful work culture must choose as its focus. He will discuss what a joyful workplace looks and feels like\, and how it is organized.  You will see paradoxical approaches: How workplace noise increases productivity\, how two people at one computer outperform hero-based organizations\, how rigor and discipline emanate from a shared-belief system\, how transparency conquers fear\, and how quality can be a natural result of a team built on trust.\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Work. How Will Your Grandchildren Make a Living? The next lecture series will start February 14\, 2019. The subject is: History of Comedy.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.”

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
DESCRIPTION:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic\nJanuary 24\, 2019 – March 2\, 2019\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic\, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paul Rand: The Designer's Task
DESCRIPTION:Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity \nPaul Rand was a giant of American design\, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE Seminar Series: Suchol Savagatrup
DESCRIPTION:Massachusetts Institute of Technology\n“Imitating Nature’s Gentle Approach: Molecular Engineering of Soft Materials for Energy and Sensing”\n\nABSTRACT\n\nWhile conventional electronic devices are composed of hard materials\, the pliability and chemical reactivity of soft organic materials may afford new solutions to pressing scientific challenges for applications in energy and environmental monitoring. Here\, I will present two examples of molecular engineering of soft materials for (1) mechanically robust organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and (2) bioinspired chemical sensors. OPVs hold promises to produce devices with performance approaching that of silicon-based electronics\, but with the mechanical stability of conventional plastics. However\, obtaining both “plastic” deformability and high energy conversion efficiency has proven challenging. I will discuss the relationships between mechanical compliance and charge transport in polymeric systems\, and the rational design principles that lead to intrinsically stretchable OPVs\, allowing for the co-optimization toward the “best of both worlds.” In addition\, I will discuss the fabrications of chemical sensors based on complex liquid colloids. These dynamic\, multicomponent emulsions behave as a natural sensor with reconfigurable morphologies that are extremely sensitive to the chemical environment. Specifically\, their unique coupling between chemical\, morphological\, and optical properties can be leveraged to detect different classes of biomolecules. These nature-inspired examples serve as an important step in demonstrating the possibility of translating chemical principles to practical devices. \n\nBIO\n\nuchol Savagatrup obtained his Bachelor of Science from UC Berkeley in 2012 and his Ph.D. from UC San Diego in 2016\, both in Chemical Engineering. At UC San Diego\, Suchol worked in the laboratory of Prof. Darren Lipomi and was supported by several competitive fellowships including the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship\, the ARCS scholarship\, and the Kaplan Dissertation Year Fellowship. Suchol is currently a Ruth L. Kirschstein NIH NRSA postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Timothy Swager’s lab at MIT. His research interests sit at the interface of soft materials science and device fabrication for applications in energy\, human health\, and environmental sustainability.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Refuge Neighborhoods: Gentrification and Ontological Security in Japan’s Declining Yoseba
DESCRIPTION:Since the economic bubble’s collapse\, Japan’s former yoseba (day labor ghettos) have transformed into concentrations of homelessness\, welfare-subsidized housing\, and supportive social services. However\, many of the former pay-by-the-day hotels (doya) now cater to foreign and domestic budget travelers and the neighborhoods are seeing large scale redevelopment. How are residents\, especially the poor\, experiencing this advancing gentrification? Do these neighborhoods retain their function as neighborhoods of refuge (kakikomi chi’iki)\, buffering residents from the most extreme forms of urban marginality? I will explore these questions by drawing on ethnographic research in Tokyo’s San’ya and Osaka’s Kamagasaki conducted over a 25-year period.\n\nMatthew Marr is Associate Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociocultural Studies and Asian Studies at Florida International University. His research focuses on homelessness in the US and Japan\, showing how urban inequality is shaped by social conditions operating at multiple levels\, from the global to the individual.\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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI Seminar Series: Nika Danial\, Ph.D.\, Harvard Medical School and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nChronic inflammation is linked to diverse disease processes\, including impaired function and survival of insulin-producing beta-cells housed within pancreatic islets. While major efforts are focused on the immune cell component of islet inflammation and insulitis in diabetes\, the nature of beta-cell-intrinsic mechanisms that can modulate islet inflammation are incompletely understood. Among these mechanisms are the beta-cell’s unique metabolic features\, such as the low affinity glucose phosphorylating enzyme glucokinase (GK\, hexokinase IV) and close coupling of glycolysis to mitochondrial pyruvate handling. Glucose imparts protective or toxic effects on beta-cells depending on the extent and duration of the increase in glucose flux through GK\; however\, our mechanistic understanding of these effects and their influence on the beta-cell response to inflammation is limited.\n\nWe investigated the contribution of glucose metabolism to beta-cell survival during islet inflammation by performing detailed metabolomics\, biochemical and functional analyses comparing toxic versus protective GK activation in human donor islets. These integrative analyses uncovered a previously unappreciated link between mitochondrial pyruvate handling\, amino acid metabolism and the extent of oxidative stress through nitric oxide synthesis. The mechanistic underpinnings of protective versus toxic glucose signaling in beta-cells and their translational utility for enhancing functional beta-cell mass in diabetes will be discussed.\n\n\nSpeaker:\nNika Danial\, Ph.D.\, is an associate professor of cell biology at the Harvard Medical School and an associate professor of cancer biology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. She earned her Ph.D. from Columbia University before completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School. Her research focuses on deciphering the molecular determinants of cellular fuel choice and their functional consequences\, including metabolic adaptation and metabolic control of cellular stress responses. This research program has led to discoveries linking fuel metabolism to cellular fate and function that have relevant implications for diseases such as diabetes\, seizure disorders and cancer.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Astronomy Colloquium Series Presents
DESCRIPTION:“Mergers of compact objects in the Gravitational Wave Era” \n\nThe observation of gravitational waves has opened a new\, unexplored window onto the Universe. Among the sources of gravitational wave transients\, compact objects such as neutron stars (NSs) and black holes (BHs) play the most important role. In this talk\, I will focus on the expected gravitational wave signal when two compact objects (NS-NS and NS-BH) in a binary merge. These events are believed to be accompanied by a strong electromagnetic signature in gamma-rays\, followed by longer-wavelength radiation.  I will discuss what can be learned from the complementary observations of the electromagnetic and the gravitational wave signals during these events.\n\nShould you require any reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event\, please contact Stacy Tiburzi at 734-764-3440 or stibu@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CLaSP Seminar Series - Prof. Dustin Schroeder
DESCRIPTION:Our guest for this week's CLaSP Seminar Series will be Prof. Dustin Schroeder of Stanford University. \n\nTitle: \"Ice Penetrating Radar: A Window into the Physical Processes of Ice Sheets\"\n\nAbstract: Radio echo sounding is a uniquely powerful geophysical technique for studying the interior of ice sheets\, glaciers\, and icy planetary bodies. It can provide broad coverage and deep penetration as well as interpretable ice thickness\, basal topography\, and englacial radio stratigraphy. However\, despite the long tradition of glaciological interpretation of radar images\, quantitative analyses of radar sounding data are rare and face several technical challenges. These include attenuation uncertainty from unknown ice temperature and chemistry\, clutter and losses from surface and volume scattering\, and a lack of problem-specific radar theory. However\, there is rich\, often underexploited\, information in modern radar sounding data\, which is being collected over terrestrial and planetary ice at an unprecedented rate.  The development and application of hypothesis-driven analysis approaches for these data can place observational constraints on the morphologic\, hydrologic\, geologic\, mechanical\, thermal\, and oceanographic configurations of ice sheets and glaciers. These boundary conditions – and the physical processes which they express and control – are filling a fundamental gap our ability to understand the evolution of both marine ice sheets and icy moons. These include the subglacial hydrology of marine ice sheets and the thermophysical structure of planetary ice shells.\n\nPlease join us!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"The Rational Design of Affinity-Controlled Protein Delivery for Tissue Repair\"
DESCRIPTION:Tissue repair requires a carefully orchestrated series of events in which\nnumerous cell populations\, proteins\, and matrix molecules participate under precise spatiotemporal control. Disruptions in these signaling events can cause aberrant healing\, leading to impaired function. Biomaterials developed to deliver cells and proteins to tissue often fail to recapitulate the complex\, endogenous healing response to injury\, and lack the ability to control the bioactivity and local presentation of therapeutics in the injury site. I aim to engineer affinity interactions between therapeutic proteins and biomaterials to create delivery vehicles that can exert precise control over protein bioactivity and delivery. This seminar will demonstrate how novel approaches in protein engineering\, computational bio-transport modeling\, and directed evolution can be used to overcome the limitations of typical biomaterial delivery vehicles and advance clinically relevant treatment strategies for both musculoskeletal and central nervous system injuries.\n\nMarian Hettiaratchi\, Ph.D.\, is a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Shoichet Lab at the University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Chair's Distinguished Lecture Series - Harnessing Hypersonics: A Multi-Physics Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Jack J. McNamara\nProfessor\nDirector: Multi-Physics Interactions Research Group\nDirector: AFRL-University Collaborative Center in Structural Sciences\nMechanical & Aerospace Engineering\nThe Ohio State University\n\nRecent technological advancements and expanding investments worldwide place us on the cusp of a hypersonics revolution.  Yet the hypersonic environment remains largely untamed\, and routine operations within it\, elusive.  Prominent issues are difficulty in comprehensively replicating the environment during testing and a broad set of potential multi-discipline interactions that are not sufficiently understood.  These obfuscate nearly all aspects of hypersonic vehicle development\, and often lead to underachievement in performance objectives\, catastrophic failure\, or cancelled programs.  The structural system plays a key role in the future of hypersonics by impacting vehicle robustness\, survivability\, agility\, guidance/control\, and propulsion.  In this context\, established challenges on fluid-thermal-structural interactions are briefly reviewed.  A more focused discussion is then provided on a long-standing problem: namely deep understanding and modeling of loads transmitted from a turbulent boundary layer to a compliant structure.  Key points covered are characteristic parameters that dominate energy transfer\, the degree of coupling between turbulence and an aerothermoelastic structure\, and how to efficiently capture dominant interactions for relevant thermo-structural response scales. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nJack J. McNamara is a professor in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at the Ohio State University.  His research interests are broadly in the areas of computational fluid-structural interactions and model reduction of high-dimensional dynamical systems.  A core application target is air vehicle operation in high-speed flow regimes\, where there is a potential for complex interactions at both the component (fluid-thermal-structural-material) and vehicle (aero-servo-thermo-elastic-propulsive) levels.  Other application areas include fluid-structural centric problems associated with ship airwakes\, wind turbines\, flapping wing air vehicles\, automobiles\, and turbomachinery.  He is the director of the Multi-Physics Interactions Research Group at the Ohio State University and the seven-year AFRL-University Collaborative Center in Structural Sciences.  The latter represents a partnership between the Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate\, Ohio State University\, Johns Hopkins University\, Arizona State University\, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Special Lecture to Launch the Robert J. Donia Graduate Student Fellowship. Human Rights in the Neoliberal Maelstrom
DESCRIPTION:The age of human rights has been kindest to the rich. Even as state violations of political rights garnered unprecedented attention due to human rights campaigns\, a commitment to material equality disappeared. In its place\, market fundamentalism has emerged as the dominant force in national and global economies. In his provocative new book\, \"Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World\,\" Samuel Moyn analyzes how and why we chose to make human rights our highest ideals while simultaneously neglecting the demands of a broader social and economic justice. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan: Department of History\, Department of Sociology\, and Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.\n\nSamuel Moyn is Professor of Law and Professor of History at Yale University. His areas of interest in legal scholarship include international law\, human rights\, the law of war\, and legal thought\, in both historical and current perspective. In intellectual history\, he has worked on a diverse range of subjects\, especially twentieth-century European moral and political theory. \n    \nHe has written several books in his fields of European intellectual history and human rights history\, including \"The Last Utopia: Human Rights in History\" (2010)\, and edited or coedited a number of others. His most recent book\, based on Mellon Distinguished Lectures at the University of Pennsylvania in fall 2014\, is \"Christian Human Rights\" (2015). A final book of human rights history\, \"Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World\,\" appeared from Harvard University Press in April 2018. Over the years he has written in venues such as Boston Review\, the Chronicle of Higher Education\, Dissent\, The Nation\, The New Republic\, the New York Times\, and the Wall Street Journal. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to umichhumanrights@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar: Species\, speciation\, and the origins of biological diversity
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nSpeciation – the process by which new species originate – is a fundamental process in evolutionary biology. Under the biological species concept\, a species is a set of populations that are united by gene flow and which maintain independence from other such populations through the property of reproductive isolation. For this reason\, the study of speciation has largely been equated with the study of genetic barriers to gene exchange between populations. Here\, I describe an expanded framework for conceptualizing speciation that emphasizes key roles for processes other than reproductive isolation in the origins of biological diversity. These additional factors include those that affect the origin and persistence of demographically-isolated populations. I develop a general test for quantifying the contribution of these and other processes to the speciation\, and I apply the framework to several vertebrate clades. I describe limits to our understanding of evolution that follow from a near-exclusive focus on reproductive isolation in speciation biology.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/kD1qEyO9p5Q

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:New Perspectives on Classical Soil Mechanics
DESCRIPTION:The classical soil mechanics has been founded to support practice-driven geotechnical engineering solutions. In terms of fundamental soil properties\, classical soil mechanics uses the basic mechanics concepts and utilizes experimentally observed soil behavior to develop application-driven engineering parameters. The microscopic mechanisms of these parameters are typically overlooked. This presentation will describe a framework that integrates computational models with characterization of the fundamental properties of soils to understand the structural and interaction bases of soil engineering parameters. The framework allows predicting soil engineering behaviors from the most fundamental characterizations. It has the potential of transforming soil mechanism into a predictive mechanics and catalyze the introduction of new sets of experimental tools for soil mechanics research.\nDr. Xiong (Bill) Yu is a professor at the Department of Civil Engineering\, Case Western Reserve University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series: Juliana Huxtable: POST
DESCRIPTION:The iconic Juliana Huxtable is an American artist\, writer\, performer\, and musician. Exploring the intersections of race\, gender\, queerness\, technology and identity\, Huxtable uses a diverse set of means to engage these issues\, including self-portraiture\, text-based prints\, performance\, nightlife\, music\, writing\, and social media. Huxtable does not privilege any method over another\, and the lines between different forms of her work are often fluid. This approach aids Huxtable in her ongoing critiques of existing social norms and categorical distinctions while indicating alternate\, more hopeful possibilities. Huxtable references her own body and history as a transgender African American woman as she challenges the socio-political and cultural forces that inform normative conceptions of gender and sexuality. Huxtable’s Art and Performance work has been featured at Roskilde Festival\, Denmark (2018)\, ReWire Festival\, Netherlands (2018)\, Park Avenue Armory\, New York (2018)\, Reena Spauldings\, Solo show\, New York (2017)\, Project Native Informant\, London UK\, (2017) MoMA PS1\, New York (2014)\; “Take Ecstasy with Me\,” Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York (2014)\; Frieze Projects\, London (2014)\; and 2015 Triennial: Surround Audience\, New Museum of Contemporary Art\, New York (2015)\; among other venues. She lives and works in New York\, where she is the founder and DJ for Shock Value. And part of House of Ladosha a nightlife collective run by artists\, DJs\, writers\, and fashion icons.​\n \nHuxtable’s work is included in Art in the Age of the Internet\, 1989 to Today on view at the University of Michigan Museum of Art from December 15\, 2018 to April 7\, 2019.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Active Learning Practice
DESCRIPTION:This session offers an opportunity to practice active learning techniques by presenting a lesson to a small peer group. In advance\, participants review short online videos about active learning. Then\, participants plan and deliver a 10-minute lesson containing an active learning technique. Finally\, participants reflect on their experience and exchange supportive feedback.\n\n***NOTE: Participants who have attended Engineering IA or GSI Teaching Orientation will recognize the format of Active Learning Practice as similar to that of the practice teaching session held at the orientation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ELI Winter Workshop Series: EDITING YOUR OWN ACADEMIC WRITING
DESCRIPTION:When you’re trying to figure out just how you want to express a point in your writing\, what digital resources can you turn to\, in addition to your human collaborators? Sure\, dictionaries can be useful\, but what if you’re trying to avoid repeating the same word over and over\, or trying to see if two words sound right together? In this workshop\, we will look how to ask one’s questions about word choices in a range of free language “corpora\,” large databases of language as it is actually used. We will focus on corpora that include academic writing in English\, but if you also write in other languages\, you can apply these strategies to corpora featuring other languages too. If possible\, bring a laptop to try out resources on your own device during the workshop.
