Named for Scottish poet Robert Tannahill\, the Tannahill Weavers create music that is steeped in history yet brings the Scottish musical tradition forward into the present day. With innovative arrangements blending the beauty of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms\, the group embraces the rollicking\, even brawling qualities of Lowland Anglo-Scots tunes but never loses sight of the almost mystical Highland Celtic core. \"The penetrating sound of the Highland bagpipes is a thread of ancient memory running through it all\,\" they say. The band's diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fiery instrumentals\, topical songs\, and original ballads. They're an Ark favorite\, but tonight you have the chance to see them with an act that's a good deal rarer stateside—The Old Blind Dogs. Since forming in Scotland in 1992\, The Dogs have stood on the cutting edge of the Scots roots revival. The band has developed its own trademark style with an energetic mix of songs and tunes. Dynamic percussion\, polished vocals\, soaring fiddle and stirring pipes fuel the delicately phrased melodies and traditional songs. \"The Old Blind Dogs play with a compelling energy and intoxicating rhythm\,\" says The Scotsman\, \"...as players and audience seem to share a wild ecstasy of emotion.\" Twenty-seven years is a long time in the life of any band and most who reach those milestones are content to rest on the tried and tested formulas that have worked in the past. Not so for The Old Blind Dogs\, whose newly released \"Room With A View\" takes them once again bravely in many new directions.

Halaloween: A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night DESCRIPTION:On October 1st\, 2019\, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night will be the first film to launch our Muslim Horror Film Festival: Halaloween. \n \nThis film festival aims to explore a couple of questions: What scares Muslim audiences? How do horror movies conceived for a Muslim public transform the familiar tropes that Hollywood and Hammer horror taught us? How do Muslim directors of horror movies use the genre to ask probing questions about gender and family tensions\, social injustice and political oppression\, demographic change and social unrest? Are horror movies halal (permissible in Islamic law)? Why so many jinn - and where are the Muslim zombies? \n \nJoin us at 9:00 PM at the Michigan Theater on October 1st\, and every Tuesday of October for a free screening of a Muslim horror film. All Screenings are free\, open to the public\, and will include English subtitles. Screenings are first come-first served. For more information on our festival\, why we're running it\, and the other films we are screening\, please visit: ii.umich.edu/islamicstudies/news-events/events/films.html \n\nFilm Description: \n \nOctober 1: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (dir. Ana Lily Amirpour\; USA\, 2015): This film festival favorite was shot in Persian in the San Joaquin Valley\, in brooding and beautiful black & white. It is often (accurately) described as a Western-vampire-noir. Gender revenge themes and mild violence. In Persian with English subtitles.

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.

The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

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:63992-16059362@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:20191002T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T180000 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.

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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-14511277@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884076@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:63627-15820748@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:20191002T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T170000 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.

Another approach would be to adopt a state-wide list system of proportional representation\, as described in Bob Davidow’s recent article in the Wayne Law Review. With a state-wide system\, there would be no district line to draw -- hence no gerrymandering. The proposed system would not only reduce the amount of money needed for election\, but also reduce the influence of the wealthy and well-connected. Demographic changes would not affect the operation of the system. An independent redistricting commission would do none of these things. \n\nThis course for those 50 and over will be led by Instructor Bob Davidow\, Professor of Law (retired) from George Mason University.

In de Sitter\, we examine what happens to massive gravity as its mass approaches the partially massless value. In this limit\, if the interactions are chosen to be precisely those of the 'candidate' non-linear partially massless theory\, the strong coupling scale is raised\, giving the theory a wider range of applicability. In anti-de Sitter and flat spacetime\, we show how shift symmetries acting on the vector modes emerge from massive spin-2 theories fixing the non-linear structure and discuss whether these theories have amplitudes that can be constructed via soft substracted recursion.

Some paradata\, such as response times\, enjoy a long tradition in survey research\, but others\, such as window/tab switching\, are only rarely used in survey research. In this talk\, I focus on the usefulness and usability of JavaScript \"OnBlur\" functions informing about how often and for how long respondents switch away from web surveys. For this purpose\, I present the results of two empirical studies: the first study explores the impact of on-device multitasking\, such as switching away to check social media notifications\, on response behavior. The second study\, in contrast\, focuses on the consequences of looking up answers online for measuring political knowledge. The talk ends with a discussion of further fields of application for JavaScript \"OnBlur\" functions in survey research.

How would you respond? Would you protect or condemn your friend? What makes dilemmas like these so vexing is that they pit two fundamental drives against one another: protecting those we love versus abiding by universal rules. Here we demonstrate that when people are presented with scenarios forcing them to decide whether to protect or condemn the perpetrators of crimes\, they demonstrate an extremely strong bias to protect close (vs. distant) others\, and the size the of this effect increases along with the severity of the crime they observe. Moreover\, using event-related potentials (ERPs) we show that the amplitude of the P300\, an early neural component occurring around 300ms that is sensitive to expectancy violations\, was greater when people thought about close (vs. distant) others committing crimes and predicted people’s decisions to protect versus condemn perpetrators’ behaviors. However\, we show that the behavioral bias toward close others is attenuated by a brief self-distancing manipulation. Preliminary cross-cultural work shows that the bias is also present but attenuated among a Japanese sample\, suggesting that cultural factors may modulate the balance between loyalty and justice. These findings underscore the importance of studying the role of close relationships in moral reasoning.

Although central nervous system (CNS) tissue has the innate capacity to repair the local environment that develops after SCI lacks sufficient factors that promote regeneration and has an abundance of factors that inhibit regeneration. Many strategies have been attempted to aid in the regeneration of CNS tissue\, yet re-entry into intact spared tissue remains inadequately low. This is due to the complexity of the spinal cord microenvironment post injury and the barriers that must be addressed to elicit adequate regeneration. The Shea lab has developed multi-channel poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) bridges to promote spinal cord regeneration and restore functional losses. These bridges are biodegradable and provide a temporary structure that promotes regeneration for between 2 and 6 months post-implantation. The bridges have an interconnected pore structure\, that allows infiltration of endogenous cell populations\, including macrophages\, Schwann cells\, oligodendrocytes. Additionally\, the bridge mechanically stabilizes the injury with tissue ingrowth and reduces secondary injury and axonal dieback. Longitudinal channels encourage axons to regenerate into the bridge with cells aligned along this major axis. Both motor and sensory axons have been identified in bridge channels. These bridges also serve as a platform for delivery of therapeutics including drugs\, cells\, and notably lentivirus.\n \nThis dissertation investigated the use of lentiviral gene therapy from multi-channel bridges to barriers to regeneration during acute and chronic phases of SCI. We investigated myelination of regenerating axons by over-expression of platelet-derived growth factor-AA (PDGF) and noggin either alone or in combination in an acute mouse SCI model. The combination of noggin + PDGF enhanced total myelination of regenerating axons relative to either factor alone and importantly\, enhanced functional recovery relative to the control condition. The increase in myelination was consistent with an increase in oligodendrocyte-derived myelin\, which was also associated with a greater density of cells of an oligodendroglial lineage relative to each factor individually and control conditions. We investigated synergistic effects of anti-inflammatory and regenerative factors by bi-cistronic delivery of NT-3 and IL-10 using PLG bridges after acute SCI. The combination of IL-10+NT-3 enhanced axonal growth and oligodendrocyte myelinated axon density significantly over control This resulted in increased locomotor functional recovery compared to IL-10 or NT-3 alone but increased hypersensitivity compared to IL-10 alone. Furthermore\, we observed a strong positive correlation between oligodendrocyte myelinated axon density and functional recovery. Lastly\, we investigated regeneration using the multi-channel bridge implanted into a chronic SCI following surgical resection of necrotic tissue. We characterized the dynamic injury response and noted that scar formation decreased at 4 and 8 weeks post injury (wpi)\, yet macrophage infiltration increased between 4 and 8 wpi. Subsequently\, scar tissue was resected and bridges were implanted at 4 and 8 wpi. We observed robust axon growth into the bridge and remyelination at 6 months post initial injury. Axon densities were increased for 8 week bridge implantation relative to 4 week bridge implantation\, whereas greater myelination\, particularly by Schwann cells\, was observed with 4 week bridge implantation. Taken together\, these results show the bridges as a great tool to manipulate and investigate the spinal cord microenvironment to improve functional outcomes.

The Hall thrusters (HTs) being flown on the PPE will operate at three times the power of current state-of-the-art HTs and utilize magnetic shielding\, which greatly increase the wear life of the thrusters. Associated with these advances in technical capability are uncertainties regarding the plasma properties of the exhaust plume\, particularly the low density plume exiting sideways from the thrusters. To better predict the erosive power of the plasma plume and how the plume might interact with the PPE and future spacecraft\, NASA is flying the Plasma Diagnostics Package (PDP). The PDP data will refine plasma models for predicting the behavior of high-power HT systems on future missions. This presentation will describe a brief history of the PDP project\, basic Hall thruster plume physics\, the plasma physics behind the PDP sensor design\, and current status of the PDP project.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nWensheng Huang received a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2011 and BS degrees in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2006. His dissertation was on the use of optical diagnostics to study Hall thruster erosion under the tutelage of Prof. Alec D. Gallimore. Wensheng is currently a researcher in the Electric Propulsion Systems branch at the NASA Glenn Research Center. He is the Principle Investigator for the Plasma Diagnostics Package (PDP) that will be flying on the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE)\, the first element of NASA's Moon-orbiting Gateway. He is also the diagnostics lead for the Solar Electric Propulsion Hall thruster project\, which will also be flying on the PPE.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

The Turkish language works of Yunus Emre\, Kaygusuz Abdal and the hagiography of Otman Baba allows us to situate saintly figures who functioned in the Turkish vernacular into the larger historical context of Islamic cultural history of Anatolia. In the process\, I identify and describe in broad strokes the fault lines that ran between saintly figures/Sufis who expressed themselves primarily\, even exclusively\, in the Turkish vernacular and other Sufi and non-Sufi Muslim learned elites who foregrounded their expertise in Arabic and Persian instead\, even when they composed their works in Turkish.\n\nAhmet T. Karamustafa is Professor of History at the University of Maryland\, College Park. His expertise is in the social and intellectual history of Sufism in particular and Islamic piety in general from the tenth through the fifteenth century. His publications include God’s Unruly Friends(University of Utah Press\, 1994) and Sufism: The Formative Period (Edinburgh University Press & University of California Press\, 2007). He is currently working on a book project titled Vernacular Islam: Everyday Muslim Religious Life in Medieval Anatolia (co-authored with Cemal Kafadar) as well as a monograph on the history of early medieval Sufism titled The Flowering of Sufism.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor of the building.

This conference will convene international experts and practitioners to examine how these core functions contribute to financial inclusion\, poverty allevation\, and a more inclusive economy – and what could be improved.\n\nThe conference contributes to a research initiative undertaken by the University of Michigan’s Center on Finance\, Law & Policy\, in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to consider how the role of a central bank could evolve in the future and enable central banks to make greater contributions toward financial inclusion. Ultimately\, the research intends to identify technologies\, processes\, or tools that could benefit a central bank in supporting public policy objectives related to inclusion\, and consider whether other sectors\, including philanthropy\, might have a role to play in supporting the development of those tools. \n\nRegistration to the event is free. Speakers and attendees will include individuals from standards-setting bodies\, central banks and other financial regulators\, and policymakers\, as well as futurists and technologists\, and other financial ecosystem stakeholders.\n\nFor more information visit http://financelawpolicy.umich.edu/central-bank-of-the-future-conference UID:63527-15782016@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63527 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Central Bank Of The Future,Finance,Financial Inclusion,Free,Information and Technology,International,Poverty,Public Policy LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Auditorium and Great Lakes Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190916T152925 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Diasporic Dialogues with Angel David Nieves (San Diego State University) DESCRIPTION:Digital and interactive forms of scholarship challenge established practices in the Arts & Humanities. Audiovisual content\, graphic interfaces\, and different types of visualizations employed in new forms of presentation and publication (e.g. websites\, blogs\, online databases\, 3D worlds) do not conform with existing concepts of scholarship\, and established practices of evaluation. Bringing together 3D model making (scholarship more generally) and the work of digital scholarly editions (DSE) is in fact new\, and not a series of scholarly theories and practices that have been previously deployed in the digital humanities. Although these digital vehicles powerfully disseminate and engage with scholarship\, scholars who implement these ‘new’ modalities are confronted by “the same old\,” established mechanisms with which to gauge ‘impact’ among one’s scholarly peers\, i.e. within traditional and long-established publications. Interactive 3D visualization\, despite its long tradition in humanities research\, is still faced with skepticism and hesitation\, not only because of the constant technological shifts and exigencies and the fragile ecosystem within which projects are being developed\, but also due to their non-conventional nature that does not adhere to established “norms” and metrics. Nieves will discuss the challenges of doing social justice based work\, in digital humanities\, while also providing new methods and platforms for dissemination in the Global South. He is currently working on a digital book project entitled\, Apartheid Heritages: A Spatial History of South Africa’s Township’s (www.apartheidheritages.org)\, now under consideration at Stanford University Press as part of their Mellon Foundation-funded digital publishing initiatives. \n\n\nBio\n\nAngel David Nieves\, Ph.D. is Professor of History & Digital Humanities (in the Area of Excellence in Digital Humanities and Global Diversity) at San Diego State University (SDSU) and Co-Director of their Digital Humanities Initiative (DHI). He was\, most recently\, (2017-2018) Presidential Visiting Associate Professor at Yale University in the Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies Program and an affiliate in the Yale Digital Humanities Laboratory (DHLab). He is Research Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of the Witwatersrand\, Johannesburg\, South Africa.

Amabile\n\nWednesday\, October 2\, 2019\n4:00-5:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nRegister here: http://myumi.ch/Boomq\n\nMichigan Ross Campus\nRoss Building\n701 Tappan \nRobertson Auditorium\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-1234\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nCreativity is responsible for all human progress. Unfortunately\, powerful forces in most classroom\, workplace\, and home environments can kill the motivation for creativity. In this interactive session\, Harvard Professor Teresa Amabile will describe the science underlying these discoveries\, as well as the science behind keeping creativity alive. The audience will leave with tips and tools for nurturing their own creativity and facilitating creative growth in their children\, students\, and work colleagues.\n\nAbout Amabile:\nTeresa Amabile has researched and written about creativity for over 40 years. Beginning with a series of papers in the 1970s and 1980s\, she was instrumental in establishing the social psychology of creativity – the study of how the social environment can influence creative behavior\, primarily by influencing motivational state. \n\nAmabile’s research has examined individual creativity and productivity\, team creativity\, and organizational innovation. This program of research has yielded a comprehensive theory of creativity and innovation\; methods for assessing creativity\, motivation\, and the work environment\; and a set of prescriptions for maintaining and stimulating both individual creativity and organizational innovation. \n\nHer more recent research investigated how everyday life inside organizations can influence people and their performance by affecting inner work life\, the confluence of motivation\, emotion\, and perceptions. She is currently studying retirement and post-employment life\, including the impact of creative activities on attitudes toward aging and experiences in later life.\n\nAmabile’s scholarly work has appeared in a variety of psychology and organizational behavior journals\, as well as her 2011 book (with Steven Kramer)\, The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy\, Engagement\, and Creativity at Work. She has presented her work to audiences in a variety of settings\, including Pixar\, Genentech\, TEDx Atlanta\, Apple\, and The World Economic Forum in Davos. \n\nIn 2018\, Amabile received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Organizational Behavior Division of the Academy of Management\, the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Israel Organizational Behavior Conference\, and the Distinguished Scholar Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. In 2011 and 2013\, she was named to the global Thinkers50 list. \n\nAmabile holds a BS in Chemistry from Canisius College and a PhD in psychology from Stanford University.\n\nHost: \nJulia Lee\, Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations\n\nSponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks University of Michigan Organizational Learning\, Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, Samuel Zell & Robert H.

Brazil under Bolsonaro: What Is Emerging? What Is Submerging? DESCRIPTION:Moderator: Robert Jansen\, associate professor of sociology\, U-M. Presenters: Guilherme Casarões\, lecturer in international relations\, Fundação Getúlio Vargas São Paulo Business School (FGV EAESP)\; Marília Corrêa\, WCED Postdoctoral Fellow\, U-M\; Benjamin Lessing\, assistant professor of political science\, University of Chicago.\n\nBrazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro became notable to the public as a controversial right-wing congressman. His brash criticism of left-wing politicians\, praise of military dictatorship\, support of pension reform and privatizations\, defense of the “traditional Brazilian family\,” and the promise to address Brazil’s rampant crime rates through violent policing helped him gain the support of many conservative segments. Meanwhile\, during his first nine months in office\, his government is already facing criticism for his divisive rhetoric\, attacks on the press\, laxing of environmental regulations\, and cuts to education\, leading many public figures to denounce him as an authoritarian figure. In this panel\, Benjamin Lessing\, Guilherme Casarões\, and Marilia Corrêa will discuss different aspects of Bolsonaro’s government and Brazil’s current political landscape. \n\nRobert Jansen is a comparative-historical sociologist with substantive interests in politics\, culture\, and memory. He has recently completed a book on the historical emergence of populist mobilization in early twentieth century Peru. He is currently working on a project on the history of historic preservationism in the United States.\n\nGuilherme Casarões is a lecturer at the Fundação Getúlio Vargas São Paulo Business School (FGV EAESP). He holds a Ph.D. and an M.A. in political science from the University of São Paulo and an M.A. in international relations from the State University of Campinas. He has authored many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on Brazilian foreign policy and Latin American politics. Among his publications are “Brazil First\, Climate Last: Bolsonaro’s Foreign Policy” (GIGA Latin America Focus\, 2019)\; “The Evolution of Brazilian Foreign Policy Studies: Four Perspectives” (Routledge Handbook of Brazilian Politics\, 2018)\; “Itamaraty’s Mission” (Cairo Review of Global Affairs\, 2014)\; and “Itamaraty on the Move” (Bulletin of Latin American Research\, 2013). He has been a visiting fellow at Tel Aviv University and Brandeis University.\n\nMarília Corrêa is a WCED Postdoctoral Fellow for 2019-21. She received her Ph.D. in history at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign in 2019. Her dissertation\, titled “Unusual Suspects: Persecuted Officers and Soldiers Under Military Rule in Brazil\, 1964–1985\,” studies the military dictatorship in Brazil\, examining the life trajectories of armed forces officers and soldiers who did not support the 1964 coup. Focusing on the perspectives of these expelled soldiers\, she examines how they remember their expulsions from the military\, life during the dictatorship\, and the ways in which their experiences and the memory they created affected these men socially and culturally. Her dissertation is situated at the intersection of political\, social\, and gender history\, as well as at the history of memory\, law\, and human rights of Latin America in the context of the Cold War. Her research has been funded by the Tinker Foundation\, the Nelle M. Signor Graduate Scholarship in International Relations\, the Illinois Program for Research in Humanities and the Lemann Institute for Brazilian Studies.\n\nBenjamin Lessing\, assistant professor of political science at the University of Chicago\, studies \"criminal conflict\"—organized violence involving armed groups that do not seek formal state power\, such as drug cartels\, prison gangs\, and paramilitaries. His first book\, \"Making Peace In Drug Wars\" (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics\, 2017)\, examines armed conflict between drug cartels and the state in Colombia\, Mexico and Brazil. Lessing has also founded the Criminal Governance in the Americas project\, which is measuring the extent and intensity of gang rule over civilian populations throughout Latin America\, and is co-director of the Project on Political Violence at Chicago. Lessing has also studied gang-state negotiations and armed electioneering by paramilitary groups. Prior to his doctoral work at UC Berkeley\, Lessing lived in Rio de Janeiro for five years\, first as a Fulbright scholar\, later conducting field research on arms trafficking in Latin America and the Caribbean for non-governmental organizations including Amnesty International\, Oxfam\, and Viva Rio\, Brazil’s largest NGO.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

During this process\, students should be prepared to experience all emotions that come up for them and will leverage movement to release feelings or experiences that no longer serve them.

A History of Coffee in Three Cups DESCRIPTION:Do you know where you coffee came from? If you're at Zingerman's Coffee Company\, probably yes.

And what happened when it got there?\n \n Join us for a conversation with Casey Lurtz\, author of the recent book From the Grounds Up: Building an Export Economy in Southern Mexico. We'll talk about how coffee spread outward from Eastern Africa and how its introduction reshaped local societies and economies. Looking at the multiplicity of ways in which coffee has been grown\, we'll think beyond roasting and brewing to understand how the histories of where coffee is cultivated flavor our morning cup.\n \n This talk will be paired with sample tastings of three distinctive coffees brewed at Zingerman's Coffee Company.\n \n ***Please note this event takes place at Zingerman's Coffee Company at 3723 Plaza Dr. #5\, Ann Arbor (near Costco).

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.

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.

This conference will convene international experts and practitioners to examine how these core functions contribute to financial inclusion\, poverty allevation\, and a more inclusive economy – and what could be improved.\n\nThe conference contributes to a research initiative undertaken by the University of Michigan’s Center on Finance\, Law & Policy\, in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to consider how the role of a central bank could evolve in the future and enable central banks to make greater contributions toward financial inclusion. Ultimately\, the research intends to identify technologies\, processes\, or tools that could benefit a central bank in supporting public policy objectives related to inclusion\, and consider whether other sectors\, including philanthropy\, might have a role to play in supporting the development of those tools. \n\nRegistration to the event is free. Speakers and attendees will include individuals from standards-setting bodies\, central banks and other financial regulators\, and policymakers\, as well as futurists and technologists\, and other financial ecosystem stakeholders.\n\nFor more information visit http://financelawpolicy.umich.edu/central-bank-of-the-future-conference UID:63527-16155523@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63527 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Central Bank Of The Future,Finance,Financial Inclusion,Free,Information and Technology,International,Poverty,Public Policy LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Auditorium and Great Lakes Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190927T100006 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191003T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191003T100000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME 500: Jon Rowley\, Ph.D. DESCRIPTION:BME 500 Seminar Series\n\n \n\nThursday\, October 3rd\, 2019\n\n9:00 – 10:00 a.m.\n\n133 Chrysler\n\n \n\nJon Rowley\, Ph.D.\n\nFounder of RoosterBio Inc.\n\nUniversity of Michigan Alumnus\n\n\n“Radically Simplifying hMSC Manufacturing Scale-up and Regenerative Medicine Product Development (and Building a Business around Regenerative Medicine Manufacturing Technology)”\n\n\n\nAbstract:\n\nHuman Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (hMSCs) and extracellular vesicles (hMSC-EVs) are leading platforms for development of regenerative medicine therapies. Multiple bottlenecks exist during discovery\, product development\, manufacturing process development\, and cGMP manufacturing leading to timelines from discovery through first in man testing often averaging 7-11 years. RoosterBio has developed and commercialized novel hMSC bioprocess systems that are designed for rapid process development and cGMP tech transfer to radically reduce development timelines to as little as 2-4 years. Requirements for implementation of scalable bioreactor production systems will also be addressed\, and data will be presented from 50L scale microcarrier-based processes with CQAs for both hMSCs and EVs.

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:63992-16059363@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:20191003T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191003T180000 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.

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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-14511278@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884077@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:63627-15820749@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:20191003T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191003T170000 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.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

Japan’s Multilateral Leadership in TPP DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, Japan’s foreign policy\, including its trade policy\, has been known to be “reactive.” Subsequent studies have modified this rather monotonic characterization\, but to date\, no one has found that Japan is willing and able to take a strong leadership role in a multilateral setting. By historical standards\, however\, Japan’s leadership in concluding TPP-11 negotiations was rather remarkable. Is Japan finally proactive? It will be demonstrated that Japan found itself in an unusual set of circumstances in TPP-11 and that one cannot generalize from this episode that Japan is now a proactive international player. \n \nKeisuke Iida is a Professor in the Graduate Schools for Law and Politics at the University of Tokyo. His recent publications include Japan’s Security and Economic Dependence on China and the United States.

This problem is known as ‘simulation optimization under input uncertainty’ and has been studied actively in recent years. Most approaches provide either asymptotic guarantee that the selected solution is the real-world optimum as the real-world sample size increases or find the optimum to an alternative formulation such as the distributionally robust optimum. This work focuses on finite-sample inference on the relative performances of the solutions while uncertainty about the input models are captured by their Bayesian posteriors. A user-specified smallest optimality gap of interest is reflected to control conservativeness of the procedure\, so that two solutions whose expected performances are within is considered practically indistinguishable. The -level risk set of solution is defined as the set of solutions whose expected performance is practically better () than with significant probability () under the posterior on the input models. The size of the risk set shows robustness of solution\; an empty risk set implies that there is no practically better solution than even with input uncertainty. For efficient estimation of the risk set\, the expected performance is modeled\nas a Gaussian process (GP) that takes a solution and a collection of input distributions generated from their posterior as inputs. A one-step look-ahead sampling rule is proposed to choose which solution-distributions pair to simulate in the next iteration to minimize the estimation error of the risk set.\n\nBio:\nEunhye Song is the Harold and Inge Marcus Early Career Assistant Professor in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Penn State University.

The model was very simple by today’s standards\, assuming a basic dipole magnetic field and equatorially mirroring particles only. Nevertheless\, the model contained unique features such as\, inclusion of a dynamic plasmasphere model and energy transfer between the hot ring current (energies of several keV) and cold plasmasphere particles (energies of a few eV). After I left Michigan\, the model was further developed at AOSS to include all pitch angles and wave-particles interactions\, and was renamed the Ring current-Atmosphere interaction Model (RAM). During my post-doc years at NASA\, I used ionospheric foot points to define flux tubes/spatial grid. This change prepared my model to couple with the famous Rice Convection Model (RCM)\, in which spatial grid is also fixed at the ionosphere. The combined model was called the Comprehensive Ring Current Model (CRCM). This marked a further evolution of the modeling approach as it considers electric coupling between the ionosphere and magnetosphere\, and provides full pitch-angle distribution of ring current particles. As space weather and radiation belt prediction became more and more popular\, a Radiation Belt Environment (RBE) model was created with similar structure as the CRCM but was extended to relativistic energies and considered diffusion from various wave modes. Many scientific studies and space weather predictions were carried out using the CRCM and the RBE model. In the meantime\, both models were coupled with global MHD models to study solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere interactions. In recent years\, the CRCM and the RBE model were combined into one model capable of studying the inner magnetospheric populations from the cold plasmasphere\, to the hot ring current\, and the very energetic radiation belts. This newly combined model was aptly named Comprehensive Inner Magnetosphere-Ionosphere (CIMI) model. In this talk\, I will highlight achievements attained by these models and future developments of CIMI. I will also share my experiences and thoughts on how to face struggles and challenges as a scientist and a modeler.\n\nBiography: \nDr. Fok's main research interests are studies of the radiation belts and ring current during geomagnetic active periods\, understanding the mechanisms responsible for their intensification and decay by numerical modeling and data analysis. She has developed a complex model\, named as the Comprehensive Inner Magnetosphere-Ionosphere (CIMI) Model\, that can compute and predict the energetic plasma fluxes in the radiation belts-ring current region. Dr. Fok was a participating scientist of the IMAGE mission and is the Project Scientist of the TWINS mission. She is heavily involved in neutral atom imaging. The modeling tools she developed have contributed greatly in interpreting images from the neutral atom imagers on IMAGE and TWINS. Dr. Fok is also involved in the Van Allen Probes mission. Her CIMI model is running in real time to predict energetic ion and electron fluxes that Van Allen Probes satellites would observe.

In this talk\, I present ongoing work by my research group aimed at rethinking reef conservation along two lines. First is directly confronting the drivers of change. In addition to environmental factors\, there are socioeconomic drivers that influence the condition of coral reef ecosystems\, though reef governance rarely focus on explicitly managing these. My colleagues and I analyzed data from >1800 tropical reef sites worldwide to quantify how key socioeconomic and environmental drivers are related to reef fish biomass\, a key indicator of ecosystem condition and resource availability. Our global analysis reveals that the strongest driver of reef fish biomass is our metric of potential interactions with urban centres (market gravity)\, with important\, but smaller\, roles of local management\, human demographics\, socioeconomic development\, and environmental conditions. These results highlight multiple underutilized policy levers that could help to sustain coral reefs\, such as dampening the negative impact of markets. Second\, drawing on theory and practice in human health and rural development\, we use a positive deviance (bright spots) analysis to systematically identify coral reefs that have substantially higher biomass than expected\, given their socioeconomic and environmental conditions. Importantly\, bright spots were not simply comprised of remote areas with low fishing pressure- they include localities where human populations and use of ecosystems resources is high\, potentially providing novel insights into how communities have successfully confronted strong drivers of change. Uncovering the mechanisms that underpin the ability of bright spots to confront high pressures may form a basis for novel policy approaches.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/qVywZwcWMiY UID:65470-16660096@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65470 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190919T112350 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191003T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191003T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Finding One's Racial Self: It's Always Personal DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the intersection between autobiography and history. It contends that the personal often shapes understanding\, reason\, perspective\, and accounting. It centers on a handful of life events to explore and exam how we must think and write about race\, historically. By juxtaposing the personal and the historical\, it asks questions about boundaries\, understandings and truths.

A professor of history and Afroamerican and African studies\, Lewis is president emeritus of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (2013-18). At Michigan\, Lewis and colleagues in the center will address three core areas of social concern: diversity and race\, water\, and the dignity of labor in an automated world. He previously served as executive vice president for academic affairs and provost at Emory University as well as the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of History and African American Studies (2004-2012). Prior to Emory\, Lewis served on the faculty at the University of Michigan (1989-2004) and the University of California at Berkeley (1984-1989). In addition to professorial roles and titles (Robin D.G.

Electron-hole recombination\, interfacial charge transfer\, nonradiative excitation energy relaxation\, photoinduced nuclear reorganization\, and bond breaking - all require accounting for nonadiabatic (NA) effects. Nuclear tunneling and zero-point energies constitute quantum nuclear effects that may non-trivially affect the electron-nuclear dynamics. Understanding details of nonadiabatic and quantum dynamics (NA/QD) at the atomistic level requires advanced tools and methodologies. Often\, one also needs to address the computational limitations due to systems’ sizes and processes’ time scales\, what makes modeling NA/QD in realistic materials a challenging problem.\nOver the past few years\, my group has been addressing various methodological problems in NA/QD to enable computationally affordable yet reasonably accurate modeling of excited states dynamics in extended atomistic systems. In this presentation\, I will overview several approaches we have developed in this regard and will illustrate their utility in modeling charge transfer dynamics in organic and inorganic solar-harvesting systems. The developments in three key areas will be highlighted: a) modeling NA/QD in extended systems via simplified semiclassical and fragmentation approaches as well as via innovative software that leverage linear-scaling electronic structure methods\; b) modeling slow NA/QD via the machine-learning-inspired quasi-stochastic Hamiltonian approach and via the enhanced sampling scheme\; c) accounting for quantum nuclear effects via the entangled trajectories Hamiltonian dynamics (ETHD) method. Along the way\, I will touch on other important methodological questions such as the role of phase correction\, decoherence\, and the effect of electronic structure choice. Last but not least\, I will highlight chemical insights we have gained from the NA/QD modeling in all-inorganic perovskites\, quantum dots\, and materials’ heterojunctions.\n \n \n \n \n \n \nAlexey Akimov (University of Buffalo) UID:63379-15663386@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63379 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190930T231447 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191003T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191003T183000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Podium Tech Talk - First Generation Engineers DESCRIPTION:Podium will be hosting a Tech Talk event next Thursday\, October 3rd from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm in FXB 1024 for 1st Gen Engine!

Coming of age during London’s street fashion boom in the late 1970s\, Jones first made a name for himself as an uncompromising style-blazer at the legendary Blitz nightclub\, where he was perpetually crowned with a striking hat of his own idiosyncratic design. By 1980\, Jones had opened his first millinery salon in the heart of London’s Covent Garden. Those premises soon became a place of pilgrimage and patronage\, as everyone from rock stars to royalty\, from Boy George to Diana\, Princess of Wales\, identified Jones as the milliner who would help them make arresting headlines. Nearly forty years later\, Jones’s era-defining edge continues to attract a celebrity clientele which includes Rihanna\, Lady Gaga\, Mick Jagger\, and the Royal Family. Now\, as ever\, at the forefront of fashion\, his beguiling hats routinely grace the most celebrated magazine covers and enliven window displays of the world’s most stylish stores.

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.

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:63992-16059364@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:20191004T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191004T180000 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.

The exhibition also includes nearly 100 I.D. photos of migrant children from a Texas holding center. 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.
