She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

West of the University Of Michigan's Program in Survey Methodology\, as he conducts a half-day workshop titled \"Design-Based Analysis of Survey Data\". This workshop is designed for survey data analysts of all skill levels\, and will present theoretically appropriate methods of analyzing survey data collected from complex sample designs. Dr. West will also present the implications of incorrect analyses based on his research findings from a meta-analysis of analytic error\, while also providing examples of proper design-based data analysis techniques using SAS and Stata. As always\, this workshop is free and open to the public.\n\nTopics include:\n\n• Overview of theoretically appropriate design-based analysis of survey data collected from complex samples\n\n• Case studies in analytic error (including findings from a meta-analysis of recent scientific publications)\, and the implications of using incorrect analysis methods\n\n• Appropriate use of survey weights and design-based methods of variance estimation for population inference related to descriptive parameters and regression models\n\n• Examples of proper design-based data analysis techniques using SAS and Stata (attendees are also welcome to ask about similar methods in other software packages)\n\nBIO:\n\nDr. West's current research interests include the implications of measurement error in auxiliary variables and survey paradata for survey estimation\, survey nonresponse\, interviewer variance\, and multilevel regression models for clustered and longitudinal data. He is the lead author of the book Linear Mixed Models: A Practical Guide Using Statistical Software and co-author of the book Applied Survey Data Analysis.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059354@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190924T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190924T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

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

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884069@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820741@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190917T135906 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190924T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190924T150000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Chewy Career Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Career Day for Chewy on Tuesday\, September 24\, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.\n\nAbout Chewy:\nAs one of the fastest growing e-commerce retailers of all time\, Chewy is revolutionizing the pet industry.

But it remains unclear how to leverage this data for effective intervention in medical and agricultural applications. We do not know which quantities can be reliably predicted\, which are hopelessly contingent\, and what the predictors are for the former. In this talk\, I will draw on conceptual tools from Statistical Physics\, which were designed to answer precisely these sorts of questions. In particular\, I will argue that the key features of community structure are encoded in a susceptibility matrix\, which contain the response of species population sizes to small changes in growth rates. I will show how to estimate this matrix in different scenarios from existing data sets\, and then explain how it can be used to cluster species into functionally redundant groups for enhanced predictability of community composition.

Over the last decades\, research has heavily focused on the psychological underpinnings of human cooperation as well as their phylogenetic origins. One central approach in this regard has been to study chimpanzees\, one of our two closest evolutionary relatives. Numerous findings have led to the view that\, compared to humans\, chimpanzees are substantially less willing to provide material benefits to conspecifics (especially when this comes at a personal cost) and largely do not take others’ mental states into account for cooperative purposes. In my talk\, I will present a series of experimental studies that offer two amendments to this view. Unlike previously assumed\, chimpanzees do seem motivated to benefit others materially but only after receiving their assistance. Moreover\, chimpanzees do show the ability to adjust their actions in response to others’ mental states in the context of mutualistic cooperation. Together\, these findings provide a better understanding of the similarities and differences between the psychological mechanisms underlying chimpanzee and human cooperation.

However\, as our methods for exploring the deep ocean improve\, common assumptions about dispersal\, reproduction and behavior are constantly being challenged. With the immense amount of data collected and stored in natural history collections to highlight historical distributions of fishes we can now use these data in concert with modern sampling methods like remote operated vehicles (ROVs) and precision netting to learn more about one of the planets most extreme systems. Join Randy as he takes you on a journey from the highest shelves of museum collections to the extreme depths of the ocean in a quest to learn more about fishes\, and where to find them.

AVS is currently treated exclusively with valve replacement surgeries\, which may be avoided if effective small molecule therapeutics could be identified to slow or reverse AVS progression. During AVS progression\, a large fraction of valvular interstitial cells (VICs) differentiate into pathogenically activated myofibroblasts\, which contribute to excessive matrix deposition and eventual valve leaflet stiffening. Effective small molecule therapeutics intended to reverse myofibroblast activation remain elusive\, owing to the inherent heterogeneity of the cellular microenvironment from patient to patient. For example\, male patients show increased calcification and female patients show increased tissue fibrosis in the aortic valve microenvironment\, leading to differential drug responses. Considering these clinical observations\, we seek to engineer precision biomaterial microenvironments to recapitulate sex- and patient-specific AVS progression in vitro and identify molecular mechanisms that mediate reversal of myofibroblast activation. Precision biomaterials are defined here as engineered environments that enable the evaluation of how sex- and/or patient-specific variables may influence disease progression. As a strategy to evaluate molecular mechanisms guiding AVS progression\, we utilize poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels as precision in vitro platforms to probe various biochemical and mechanical cues that activate male and female VICs to a myofibroblast state\, as well as cues that reverse activation (Fig. 1A). My talk will focus on two vignettes where PEG hydrogels were used to evaluate how male and female VICs activate to and reverse from a myofibroblast state in response to different cues\, including (1) serum factors from AVS patients before and after a valve replacement procedure and (2) small molecule inhibitors of myofibroblast activation. Collectively\, our work demonstrates how engineered hydrogel matrices enable an increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms guiding myofibroblast activation and reversal\, which may provide a critical bridge toward sex- and patient-specific small molecule AVS therapies. \n\nSHORT BIO\n\nDr. Brian Aguado is currently an NIH K99 and Burroughs Wellcome Fund postdoctoral fellow at the University of Colorado.

High conductivity material s such as carbon nanotube forests are useful as thermal interface materials (TIMs) for dissipating power in electronic devices\, while low conductivity material s like nanoporous silicon for thermal barrier coatings and enhanced thermoelectric performance. Beyond thermal transport\, storage of thermal energy is critical for effective heat removal for applications involving\nhighly-transient heat fluxes\, and during material processing. Often to achieve the desired functionality\, multiples material s are combined together to form heterogeneous composites. For example\, in lithium-ion batteries\, the particulate active material s (with micro- and nano-scale features) are sandwiched between metal electrodes and polymer-based separators with microscale thicknesses to form macroscale battery cells. This seminar will discuss methods to understand and\ncontrol thermal transport and development of accurate and reliable experimental and analytical techniques for thermal characterization across multiple length scales. Further\, I will highlight the integration of material synthesis with thermal property measurements and physics-based analysis to provide new avenues for improved material s and device performance.\n\nBio\nAmy Marconnet i s an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. She received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wi Wisconsin – Madison in 2007\, and an M.S. and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University in 2009 and 2012\, respectively. She then worked briefly as a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining the faculty at Purdue University in 2013. Research in the Marconnet Thermal and\nEnergy Conversion (MTEC) Lab integrates metrology and analysis of underlying transport mechanisms with design and development of nanostructured material s for heat transfer and energy conversion applications.

Understood in this way\, such expressivities are key to building and nurturing fluid social relationships. This presentation focuses on the role of heungeulsori (murmuring sound)\, an individualistic and improvisatory expression of female desire and angst\, in both private and public realms. In Korea\, heungeulsori historically has served as an emotional outlet for women\, and these murmurs were often an indirect communication\, uttered on the periphery in either hopes the message could be received or\, at least\, released onto the air. Here\, I examine diverse contexts for the performance of heungeulsori and consider the ways by which performers evoke individual\, community and regional identities through pointed use of melodic and narrative tropes. By examining public presentations of a once-private form of female articulation\, the presentation touches on the ways by which concepts of genre and related expressivities transform in accordance with societal transformations and the human relationships therein. The solo voice does not act as an anomaly\, despite its power in redirecting narrative. Rather\, it engages with pre-existing social structures\, reinforcing values of social place and function alongside those of aesthetic expressions tied to women’s roles in Korean society.\n\nHilary Vanessa Finchum-Sung (Ph.D. Indiana University) is currently the Executive Director of the Association for Asian Studies. She formally served as Dean of Student Affairs at Seoul National University's College of Music and Associate Professor of Theory and Ethnomusicology in the Department of Korean Music at Seoul National University (2009-2019). In addition\, Finchum formerly taught in the MA in Asia Pacific Studies Program at University of San Francisco and served as an administrator and researcher at UC Berkeley's Institute of East Asian Studies.She is a Korean music specialist with research interests in sustainable practice in traditional Korean music performance\, musical genealogies\, gender roles and performance\, and emotion embodied through sound. Finchum has published in academic journals such as Ethnomusicology\, the world of music (new series)\, Acta Koreana and Seoul Journal of Korean Studies\, as well as contributed entries to publications such as The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Music and Culture (2019) and numerous edited volumes. She has presented papers at international conferences in the US\, Canada\, China\, Japan\, Egypt\, England and Korea as well as lectures and workshops on Korean music for organizations such as the National Gugak Center\, The National Theatre of Korea\, Korea Foundation\, UNESCO and the Asia Society of New York. In avid pursuit of musicianship\, she regularly practices and performs on the two-string spike fiddle\, haegeum.\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.

In bright voices and natural harmonies shaped by the unique environment of the area\, the Dong people of Guizhou\, China sing about nature\, romantic love\, history and moral values. For the Dong people\, Grand Song is an indispensable part of life\, just as their saying goes\, “rice feeds the body–but songs feed the soul”. The Dong people transmit much of their history\, culture and knowledge through songs that accompany them throughout their lives. Choirs of children\, young and senior people are formed in every village\, representing a crucial symbol of Dong ethnic identity and cultural heritage.\n\nThe Yandong Grand Singers is a choir formed by farmers from Yandong Village\, specializing in the “Grand Song” of the Dong people - polyphonic music known to the world only in recent decades. The repertoire includes a range of genres such as ballads\, children’s songs\, songs of greeting and imitative songs that test performers’ virtuosity at mimicking the sounds of animals. Taught by masters to choirs of disciples\, Grand Songs are performed formally in the drum-tower\, the landmark venue for rituals\, entertainment and meetings in a Dong village\, or more spontaneously in homes or public places. In 2009\, the Dong musical tradition was listed by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage in China. This will mark the group’s first full US tour\, having previously appeared at Carnegie Hall China Festival and the International International Festival for Vocal Music in Leipzig\, Germany.\n\nCWPS events are free and open to the public.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059355@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190731T110724 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T094500 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:IT4U Webinar: Sharing & Storing Data in U-M Google and Box DESCRIPTION:Madi Atkins (ITS) offers best practices for sharing and storing data in U-M Google and Box\, including U-M Google shared drives\, shared accounts with U-M Box\, and more.

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884070@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820742@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

The driving force behind these costs is the inefficiency of the Monte-Carlo phase space generators and the unweighting efficiencies.\nAfter a short review of traditional algorithms\, I will introduce a new Machine Learning algorithm that uses Normalizing Flows for efficient numerical integration and random sampling. This approach is especially efficient in high-dimensional integration spaces. I will show some preliminary results obtained with the matrix element generator of Sherpa and discuss different choices of hyperparameters and their influence on the result.

However\, paradata are often underutilized. This study suggests a novel approach to use paradata to alter the survey itself in real time in order to improve data quality.\n\nThrough a predictive model\, paradata about the responses will be utilized to alter the presentation of the survey questions themselves. First\, if respondents straight-line through a grid section of the survey\, following grids could be changed to single item questions in order to discourage straight-lining. Second\, if respondents display multiple indicators of poor data quality\, key questions could be moved forward in the survey to present earlier. This second option reduces survey length\, lowers cognitive burden for respondents that are taking short cuts\, and prevents drop-offs. Both of these techniques could help to improve data quality.\n\nThough programming a survey to adapt in real time may involve a large effort in the beginning\, once employed it could be used across projects for little additional cost. Improving data quality should be a goal of everyone in the survey research community. As web surveys continue to increase in frequency of implementation\, the focus on data quality of this mode should be a priority.

Across two experiments\, we investigated conditions under which signaling personal relevance\, via targeting information to audiences based on identities\, backfires. In particular\, we assessed how activation of personal characteristics (e.g.\, identities\, health goals\, and both identities and goals)\, as well as context cues (e.g.\, time of year)\, impact persuasion. Because people with higher body mass indexes (BMIs) are frequently targets of weight stigma\, particularly within health contexts\, we expected that perceiving relevance based on weight identities would elicit identity threat and subsequently inhibit persuasion for people with higher\, versus lower\, BMIs. Across studies\, participants were told they received information about obesity due to chance (control condition)\, or after providing their demographics (e.g.\, weight status\; Studies 1–2)\, health goals (Study 2)\, or demographics and goals (Study 2). Findings revealed that\, particularly for participants with higher BMIs\, being targeted to receive information about obesity and obesity-related illness increased perceived relevance among recipients\, which predicted increases in irritation and self-conscious emotions. Negative emotional responding produced heterogenous\, but primarily deleterious\, effects on self-efficacy and behavioral intentions to engage in healthy behavior because recipients felt unfairly judged (Study 2). Study 2 determined that targeting on goals and changes in context (e.g.\, stronger beliefs that change is possible at New Year's) decreased the link between perceived relevance and feeling judged.

Metin Aktulga: Towards Fast\, Scalable and High Fidelity Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Reactive molecular dynamics (RMD) models bridge quantum-scale and classical MD approaches by explicitly modeling bond activity and redistribution of charges. As such they enable the study of important phenomena which otherwise is impractical using classical or quantum techniques. However\, RMD models have a significantly complex formulation\, making fast\, scalable and high fidelity RMD simulations extremely challenging to achieve. In this talk\, I will present our work towards addressing both the scalability and fidelity challenges. I will start by describing the parallel algorithms and numerical techniques that we developed for a fast implementation of the Reax Force Field (ReaxFF)\, which is used by hundreds of researchers worldwide. Particular emphasis will be on novel solvers we recently developed for the dynamic charge distribution problem that constitutes the most important scalability bottleneck in large RMD simulations. I will conclude the talk by outlining our efforts towards addressing the fidelity challenge\, i) through an automated force field framework for RMD models\, ii) by developing a novel hybrid ReaxFF/AMBER simulation software in the spirit of QM/MM techniques.\n\nBio: H. Metin Aktulga received his B.S. degree from Bilkent University in 2004\, M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Purdue University in 2009 and 2010\, respectively\; all in Computer Science. Before joining the Michigan State University (MSU) in 2014\, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Computational Research Division at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab.

While some students embrace this diversity in courses and disciplinary perspectives\, many struggle with how to translate these experiences into career opportunities. BME students are often concerned that they are perceived as a “jack of all trades\, masters of none.” In 2016\, the BME Department sought to find new ways to integrate BME professional practice into the curriculum. \n\nInformed by organizational change theory\, we asked: 1) Is there potential for change\; 2) what strategies facilitate change\; and 3) how can these strategies be implemented? As a result\, we developed an Instructional Design Sequence\, a new approach to instruction in which students\, post docs\, and faculty create short modules that use evidence-based teaching practices to expose BME students to BME professional practice. \n\nThis presentation describes how the Instructional Design Sequence was conceived and demonstrates how theory can be used to inform practice. The resultant Sequence is a transferrable model for transforming engineering education\, offering a mechanism for integrating new career-relevant curriculum into undergraduate curriculum\, while training future educators in evidence-based instructional practices.

This memoir traces Power’s distinctly American journey\, from Irish immigrant to human rights activist to United States Ambassador to the United Nations. Power’s perspective on government is unique\, as she takes us from the streets of war-torn Bosnia to the Situation Room and out into the world of high-stakes diplomacy.\n\n\nAbout the Vandenberg Lecture Series:\nThe Meijer Family established the Vandenberg Fund to honor U.S. Senator Arthur Vandenberg\, who served the State of Michigan in the U.S. Senate from 1928-1951. Senator Vandenberg forged bipartisan support for our country's most significant and enduring foreign policies of the twentieth century\, including the Truman Doctrine\, the Marshall Plan\, NATO and the creation of the United Nations.\n\n \nAbout the WDC lecture series:\nThis event forms part of the series in celebration of the launch of the Weiser Diplomacy Center (WDC)\, housed in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. WDC is a hub for practical training and policy dialogue on diplomacy and foreign affairs. WDC trains students for careers in international service\, provides a meeting point for academics and practitioners\, and serves as a bridge between U-M and the foreign policy community. WDC engages Professors of Practice and regular visiting practitioners and aims to be one of the country’s leading loci for the study of foreign affairs.\n\nHosted as part of the Ford School's Conversations Across Difference Initiative.

Following the screening\, Medhin Paolos will join a Q&A with students and faculty members\, discuss her professional trajectories\, their motivation\, the filmmaking process\, its reception and other related issues.\n\nOf Eritrean origin\, Medhin Paolos is an Italian filmmaker\, photographer\, electronic musician and social justice activist. She is currently an Associate Fellow in Latino/a Studies at the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at Harvard University. Her first film Asmarina (2015)\, which she co-directed with Alan Maglio\, narrates the presence of the habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) community in the city of Milan through the collective memories of the community recorded in personal archives through photo documents\, music and stories\, exploring the different shades of identity\, migration and the aspirations of the African people. In contrast to media narratives that portray African immigration to Italy as a recent phenomenon\, Asmarina offers another vision of the African diaspora in Italy\, one that demonstrates the long-standing presence of Eritrean and Ethiopian communities\, as well as their contributions to the development of Italian postwar national identity. Asmarina is also study of contemporary Italy\, currently dealing with a rise in xenophobic attacks against African migrants\, ongoing migrant catastrophes in the Mediterranean\, and the struggle of second-generation Italians of African descent to gain full citizenship rights. \n\nMedhin Paolos holds a BFA from NABA-Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan. For ten years (1999-2009)\, she was part of the folk-electronic band Fiamma Fumana. Paolos is the co-founder of the Milano chapter of Rete G2 (Second Generation Network)\, a national organization that promotes the human and civic rights of children of immigrants in Italy. Currently\, she is conceptualizing an educational platform for bringing forth a plurality voices\, histories\, and cultures to the forefront through media artistic interventions.

As we develop means to control the properties of light\, matter and their interactions\, intriguing new phenomena emerge. Using a designer polariton platform we have developed\, we reveal a long sought after Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer like phase in a particle-hole-photon strongly-coupled system. Coupling two trapped polariton condensates through both coherent tunneling and incoherent dissipation\, we form a model system of rich nonlinear dynamics where new\, equidistant frequency lines emerge via the limit cycles at Hopft bifurcation. Using two-dimensional monolayer crystals with exceptionally strong light-matter interactions\, we control the exciton-photon interactions from the incoherent limit to the coherent limit with simple mirrors and laser pulses\, showing the promise of the system for photonic applications based on coherent light-matter interactions. Combining different monolayers to form atomically-thin heterostructures\, we obtain a platform that allows versatile control over both the photon modes and matter excitations\, where we create long-lived valley excitons\, ultra-thin lasers\, and moire-lattice induced hybrid dipolar excitons and polaritons. \n UID:65280-16565499@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191010T123041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T164500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Explore Apple Retail.

Assuming desired coordination of an unmanned aerial system (UAS) team is the solution of Laplace equation\, Lagrangian and Eulerian continuum mechanics will be applied to safely plan UAS coordination in a finite airspace. The Lagrangian continuum mechanics is used to manage large-scale coordination of a UAS team in a cluttered environment when the total number of agents is fixed. In this context\, we optimize a large-scale continuum deformation coordination\, and formally specify and verify collision-free collective motion with minimal communication and computation overhead\, enabling distance between individual UAVs to significantly change while assuring the vehicles do not collide. Furthermore\, the Eulerian continuum mechanics can be applied to achieve freely scalable coordination and manage traffic coordination in a finite airspace. Using the Eulerian description of continuum mechanics\, the space and time allocated to an individual UAS can be effectively managed and the airspace capacity can be maximized through controlling UAS inflow and outflow at the airspace boundaries with minimum computation overhead. In particular\, the airspace can be classified into planned and unplanned spaces by dynamically updating planned-unplanned airspace boundaries while nominal coordination is obtained as the solution of a governing PDE with spatiotemporal cyber-physical parameters. The unifying nature of Laplace equation and its application to Aerospace control problems will also be highlighted.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nDr. Hossein Rastgoftar is an Assistant Research Scientist in the Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. Prior to that he was a postdoctoral researcher with Professor Ella Atkins at the University of Michigan from 2015-2017. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University in 2015. Hossein has two MS degrees (one in Mechanical Systems and the other in Solid Mechanics) and a BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering-Thermo-Fluids. Dr. Rastgoftar has worked on decision-making\, optimization\, large-scale UAS coordination\, traffic control\, and autonomy over the past four years at the University of Michigan\, and has published several archival journal papers and peer-reviewed conference papers. He is the sole author of the book “Continuum Deformation of Multi-Agent System” published by Springer-Birkhauser (https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319415932).

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

However\, this strategy can succeed only if the synthetic chromosomes are faithfully transmitted to each daughter cell upon cell division. Eukaryotic cells use the kinetochore\, an immensely complex protein machine\, to segregate their native chromosome during cell division. We are initiating an effort to engineer a synthetic kinetochore to faithfully segregate synthetic chromosomes. This ambitious goal encompasses three aims. First\, we will use bottom-up reverse engineering to yield deep insight into function and regulation of the kinetochore\, potentially exposing unexpected gaps in our understanding. Second\, we will identify functionally necessary kinetochore components from those that are its ‘evolutionary legacy’. This is necessary to reveal strategies for simplifying the design of the synthetic kinetochore. Third\, we will establish the blueprint for designing a synthetic\, orthogonal segregation machine that specifically controls the inheritance of synthetic chromosomes.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059356@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Buentello took the photos in 2014 while working for an intake agency.\n\n\"Focusing on images from the US media sources that exposed the violence of migrants’ dehumanization\, vulnerability\, fear\, loss\, and criminalization\, the paintings document the embodiment of state-authorized brutality and erasures of personhood.\" -Ruth Leonela Buentello\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Refreshments will be served. \n\nCindy Sowers received her B.A. from Oakland University\, her M.A. from University of Michigan in Comparative Literature\, and her Ph.D. also from the University of Michigan in Comparative Literature. During her Masters program in 1973\, she started teaching at the Residential College in the First Year Seminar and French programs. Her dissertation\, The Shared Structure of Craft and Song: A Study of Homer’s Narrative Art\, revealed passions for narrative and visual analysis comparatively understood that would characterize her teaching thereafter. She participated in an interdisciplinary group composed of Residential College humanities and fine arts faculty who together constructed the Arts and Ideas in the Humanities concentration. Cindy's recent course offerings have included critical approaches to the literature and visual arts of classic modernism\, postmodernism\, Shakespeare and Rome\, the heritage of Greece\, the psychoanalytic interpretation of the arts\, and many others. She combines analyses of literary texts\, visual arts\, and philosophy to hone in on the animating spirit of a cultural moment and space. She has presented at the Royal Shakespeare Company's 2006 U-M residency\, as part of the RC Faculty Colloquium\, for the LSA Comparative Literature and the Colloquium on Critical Theory sponsored by the LSA Department of English Language and Literature\, and at the Residential College's 50th Anniversary celebration.

South Africa’s first racially inclusive election on April 26\, 1994 literally and symbolically marked this legal ending\, after four years of tense and at times violent negotiations between the leaders of Apartheid South Africa and those of the antiapartheid movements. \n\nHowever\, 25 years after this hopeful and euphoric historical moment the dead are still being counted\, the transmutation of formal apartheid into social and economic apartheid is all but complete and the legacy of Apartheid’s crimes endure – threatening the very dream of Nelson Mandela’s vision for a nonracial\, nonsexist\, equal and just political system in South Africa. This lecture will critically engage the political\, legal and moral failures of state responsibilities to international humanitarian and human rights law and the state’s political\, legal and moral management of the freedom moment.\n\nYazier Henry teaches at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. He is a public intellectual\, strategist\, conflict management expert\, teacher\, facilitator\, scholar\, professional human rights advocate\, and poet. His research and writing priorities focus on the interrelationship and intersections of structural\, systemic\, institutional\, and administrative violence. He is particularly interested in the politics and economics of human rights and the social violence of the law. His current work is on how state violence becomes systemically structured and institutionalized during political transitions in the global south.\n\nThis is the third in a six-lecture series. The subject is South Africa: Past\, Present\, and a Look Forward. The next lecture will be October 3\, 2019. The title is: Education Inequality and Income Inequality in South Africa since the End of Apartheid.
