Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N. Dixboro Rd.\, Ann Arbor. Free.

This is the first nonfiction illustrated children’s book about Filipino American history\, and the first book ever written about Larry Itliong. The children’s book written by the late historian Dawn Bohulano Mabalon\, Ph.D. with Gayle Romasanta and illustrated by Andre Sibayan\, tells the story of forgotten United Farm Workers (UFW) cofounder\, Larry Itliong\, his migration to the United States and his lifelong fight for a farmworkers union. The city of Delano\, California\, was the first stop of the national book tour with events held in Seattle\, WA\; New York\; Washington DC\; Anchorage\, AK\; Santa Ana\, CA\; Houston\, TX\; with future stops in Southfield and Ann Arbor\, MI\; Milwaukee\, WI\; Chicago\, IL\; Wapato\, WA\; Virginia Beach\, VA\; Irvine\, San Diego\, Stockton\, SF Bay Area\, CA\; Lancaster and Philadelphia\, PA\; Honolulu\, HI\; and more.\n\n“Journey for Justice is a significant children’s book about a legendary pioneer in the farmworkers movement. This was the last book that FANHS National Scholar and Trustee Dr. Dawn Bohulano Mabalon\, wrote before she passed away suddenly on Aug. 10\, 2018. We are committed to carry on Dawn’s legacy so that people of all ages can learn more about Filipina/o American history. We support this book and strongly encourage everyone to read it and discuss it with their children\, community\, and educators\,” shares University of Michigan Prof. Emily P. Lawsin\, FANHS National Vice President.\n\nCurrently\, Filipino Americans are the largest Asian American group in 10 of the 13 western states\, the second largest Asian American population in the nation\, and is the oldest Asian population in the nation\, with hardly any mention of their contributions to U.S. history in school textbooks. This book will be the first out of a planned series of four books about Filipino American historical figures for students of all ages\, from 10 and up. A free teacher’s curriculum guide created by Pin@y Educational Partnerships is available at www.bridgedelta.com.\n\nBridge and Delta Publisher and Owner Gayle Romasanta and the Filipino American community celebrate and aim to further Dr. Dawn Mabalon’s work to spread Filipino American history\, especially “Journey for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong\,” Mabalon’s last book. Romasanta says\, “She made history accessible and was a revered community activist. She not only was a scholar\, but her work touched the Filipino\n \nAmerican community on a national scale. She not only saved the remaining Filipino neighborhood Little Manila buildings in her hometown of Stockton and named the area ‘Historic Little Manila\,’ she traveled the country speaking and connecting with the community and spreading her wealth of knowledge about American history\, Filipino American food history\, and more. She was the leading Filipino American historian before her untimely passing.”\n\nThe Journey for Justice National Book Tour in Michigan will include a community visit to Paaralang Pilipino Language and Cultural School\, which is housed in the Philippine American Community Center of Michigan\, in Southfield\, and a book signing reception and guest lectures at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor (in WOMENSTD 151/AMCULT/ASIANPAM 102: Women’s Studies First Year Seminar on Food and Gender in Asian American Communities\, and in AMCULT/ASIANPAM 310: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies [Race & Ethnicity-Social Sciences] class on the Filipino American Experience).\n\nWhile the Journey for Justice book celebrates Larry Itliong and the history of the Delano Grape Strike\, it also highlights Dr. Dawn Mabalon’s life work as the co-founder of Little Manila Rising (formerly the Little Manila Foundation)\, Filipino American National Historical Society National Scholar and Trustee\, a San Francisco State University professor\, and author of multiple books including “Little Manila Is In the Heart: The Making of the Filipina/o American Community in Stockton\, California” (Duke University Press\, 2013).\n\nSponsors (Partial List)\nUniversity of Michigan (* = pending confirmation):\n• UM Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies\n• UM Department of American Culture\n• UM Department of Women’s Studies*\n• UM Filipino American Students Association Local Community Sponsors:\n• FANHS Michigan Chapter\n• Filipino Youth Initiative\n• Paaralang Pilipino Language and Cultural School\n• Philippine American Community Center of Michigan\n• FILAMCCO National Sponsors:\n• Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS)\n• Carlos Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at UC Davis\n• Pin@y Educational Partnerships\n• Little Manila Rising\n• PapaLoDown Agency\n• Bridge + Delta Publishing\n\nFor a Media Kit\, see: http://tinyurl.com/MediaKitJFJ\nFor a Curriculum Guide\, Book Orders and additional information visit www.bridgedelta.com For Event Questions\, Email: FANHS.VP@gmail.com\n\nwww.fanhs-national.org www.paccm.org\n\n#JourneyForJustice #LarryItliong#DawnMabalonIsInTheHeart UID:67249-16829024@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67249 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:American Culture,Anthropology,Asia,Asian/pacific Islander American Studies,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Free,History,Humanities,Interdisciplinary,International,Multicultural LOCATION:Haven Hall - 3512 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190903T145927 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T124500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Lying and Deception in Games DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThis article proposes definitions of lying\, deception\, and damage in strategic settings. Lying depends on the existence of accepted meanings for messages\, but does not require a model of how the audience responds to messages. Deception does require a model of how the audience interprets messages\, but does not directly refer to consequences. Damage requires consideration of the consequences of messages. Lies need not be deceptive. Deception does not require lying. Lying and deception are compatible with equilibrium. I give conditions under which deception must be damaging.

Why do these films have an impact on the development of the cinema while others drop quickly into oblivion? In other words\, why are some films “classics” and what do we mean by the term “classic” to begin with? \nLet’s take a look at the following film classics and respond to those questions: Grand illusion (France\, 1937)\; The African Queen (USA\, 1951)\; Touch of Evil (USA\, 1958)\; Late Spring (Japan\, 1949)\; Chinatown (USA\, 1974)\; and Groundhog Day (USA\, 1993).

Libraries and Mobilities DESCRIPTION:The 2019 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is \"Migration in the Islamicate World.\" \n \nWe make many assumptions about libraries such as they are fixed spaces\, fairly secure and often large buildings. There are private libraries that are smaller and could simply occupy a single floor or room. But a definite space comes to mind\, not immediately mobility of the books between at least two places. However we think of these spaces we seldom figure mobility or movement into our thinking about libraries\, archives or collections. Perhaps with the recent rise of online book shopping we might begin to rethink things and reflect on how books travel (from depository to buyer\, at least). But books have always travelled. All forms of “shipping” have been used to carry them long before the modern courier companies. Yet the circulation of the material book is not a subject of much thinking or research it would seem. And with the transport books\, they also disappear\, parts or volumes go missing\, they find new homes\, and they might reappear in surprising places. Sometimes the transfer is simply an act of theft or a by-product of conquest. In this talk I look at episodes in the book history of Northwest Africa that points to a long tradition of book buying and selling and lending over vast spaces. Nomadism is part of the fabric of this region and this included scholars and books. \n \nShamil Jeppie is Associate Professor in the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Cape Town. He is the founder of the Tombouctou Manuscripts Project and was previously director of the Institute for Humanities in Africa (Huma) both at the University of Cape Town.

Sign-tracking is often contrasted with goal-tracking\, which is cue-triggered approach directed toward the location of reward delivery. Interest in sign-tracking has increased in recent years because individual variation in sign-tracking has been shown to predict addiction-like behaviors in animals. Though sign-tracking has been observed in a wide variety of species\, including rodents\, primates\, fish\, cephalopods\, and insects\, there have been very few attempts to document sign-tracking in humans. We directly translated a rat task for human subjects\, using a retractable lever as a conditioned stimulus that predicts reward delivery into a different physical location (reward magazine). Physical contacts as well as eye-gaze directed toward the lever or magazine were recorded as outcome measures. Subjects also completed questionnaire-based measurements of trait impulsivity. We hope to demonstrate that sign- and goal-tracking behavior can be measured in humans. Furthermore\, we will test whether inter-individual variation in sign- and goal-tracking behavior correlates with motor impulsivity\, which is a known risk factor for addiction.

Systematic as they otherwise can be in their work\, they go at it intuitively or haphazardly\, with much good will but seldom good results. In this talk\, Dr. Doumont proposes a systematic way to prepare and deliver an oral presentation: he covers structure\, slides\, and delivery\, as well as stage fright.\n\nBio:\nAn engineer from the Louvain School of Engineering and PhD in applied physics from Stanford University\, Jean-luc Doumont now devotes his time and energy to training engineers\, scientists\, business people\, and other rational minds in effective communication\, pedagogy\, statistical thinking\, and related themes. With his rational background\, he approaches communication in an original\, engineering- like way that contrasts sharply with the tradition of the field\, rooted in the humanities. He is thus well received by students and professionals in search of a method they can apply with the same rigor they have come to value in every other aspect of their occupations. Articulate\, entertaining\, and thought-provoking\, he is a popular invited speaker worldwide\, in particular at international scientific conferences\, research laboratories\, and top-ranked universities. He is happy to deliver his lectures in English\, Spanish\, French\, or Dutch.

This information has been used in many searches for distinguishing between different types of jets\, but it has been challenging to produce theoretical predictions for these substructure observables due to the presence of non-global logarithms. Recent advances in jet grooming algorithms have made it possible to produce calculations beyond leading logarithmic accuracy for jet substructure observables for the first time at a hadron collider. I will discuss the measurement of the Soft Drop jet mass using data from the ATLAS experiment\, which was the first measurement of a substructure observable which could be compared to theoretical predictions beyond leading logarithmic accuracy. I will then discuss the implications of this work\, including the possibilities for Monte Carlo tuning as well as measurements of Standard Model parameters.\n UID:67013-16796440@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67013 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191001T152010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mechanics of earthquakes: extreme location\, frictional instability\, and fluid effects DESCRIPTION:Many seismological studies interpret earthquake sources as shear cracks and use concepts of fracture mechanics to shed light on earthquake source processes. This approach is partially justified by extreme localization of shear deformation on mature faults in the earth’s crust\, with kilometers of relative plate motion sometimes accommodated by millimeter-wide shear layers filled with micrometer-sized rock particles. The presentation will discuss recent progress in using laboratory-derived shear resistance laws in the presence of pore fluids for numerical elastodynamic simulations of earthquake source processes and the associated insights\, including similarities and differences with the traditional fracture mechanics interpretations UID:67679-16915708@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67679 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Civil and Environmental Engineering,Energy,Engineering,Graduate and Professional Students,Graduate Students,Mechanical Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:Gorguze Family Laboratory - 107 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T164402 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Pre-med Information Session DESCRIPTION:Hello LSA Honors Program students!\n\nAre you considering a career in medicine or in another health care profession and wondering where to get started?

On the other hand\, the initiation of that silencing in the first place\, especially for DNA that is “new” to the genome\, is not well understood. Although the propagation of epigenetic silencing is based on the chromatin level\, our data in the powerful model plant Arabidopsis demonstrates that de novo initiation of transposable element and transgene silencing is based on RNA\, and utilizes a host of small RNA classes that function specifically in the initiation of silencing to guide the first round of DNA methylation. I plan to present my ongoing work on the molecular mechanisms of silencing initiation\, focusing on the key RNA-dependent processes necessary to initiate epigenetic silencing.

What are the flaws of a decolonial theory that regards a materialist perspective while occluding the spirit of the mind and body? It is as if the method and the theory exist in parallel universes\, never to touch or entice each other but instead battle in a false binary. And yet\, we cannot have theory without method\; we cannot have a materialist\, grounded “real” critique without the affective body\, without the people who feel\, who touch\, who experience and imagine other ways of being. The imagination\, after all\, is the door to creativity\, to other ways of being and knowing. Overall\, the real without the imaginary lacks vision and affirms a two- dimensional\, uninspired ontology and epistemology. I’m posing the “will to feel” as a mode that reasserts the imaginary within the decolonial. Ultimately\, can the “will to feel” transform us and the toxic world we inhabit in the 21st century? \n\nThere will be a light reception following the lecture.\n\nDr. Emma Pérez earned a PhD in history from the University of California\, Los Angeles. In 2017\, she joined the University of Arizona as a Research Social Scientist at the Southwest Center and a Professor in the Department of Gender/Women’s Studies.

Empire’s territorial expansion during the Roman Imperial era (1st – 2nd centuries CE) facilitated such movement(s)\, but also had a deep impact on various authors of that era\, like Tacitus\, Martial\, and Juvenal\, who frame their narratives of empire and political and cultural change in comparable materialist terms. This talk explores how notions of globalization\, network activity\, movement\, mapping\, and the theoretical concept of the rhizome constitute a cognitive toolkit from which to assess and reconcile the literary reflections of space (territorial\, cultural) and flows (of people and ideas) expressed by these same authors.\n\nBio: Osman Umurhan is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of New Mexico (PhD Classics\, New York University\, 2008). Umurhan’s research interests and areas of publication include Roman verse satire\, globalization\, mobility\, empire\, and musical\, cinematic\, and mathematical receptions of antiquity. Following the 2018 publication of his monograph Juvenal’s Global Awareness: Circulation\, Connectivity\, and Empire\, his forthcoming co-edited volume Classical Antiquity in Heavy Metal Music is due out in early October. His current project explores applications of the spatial turn and the social sciences on Roman formulations of space and place and across Roman literary genres.

Change Over Time? Fracture and Reconciliation in Natural Science Infrastructure DESCRIPTION:Scientists in the natural histories create the frameworks\, calendars and infrastructures that allow us to understand and grapple with \"deep time\" -- but they do so within their own temporally complex scholarly settings: they draw on classification systems that are constantly facing revision and methodological revolution\; database systems that simultaneously face forced obsolescence and true decay\; and data collections in need of maintenance and migration. In this talk\, I consider the rhythms of fracture and reconciliation in the data infrastructure in the natural sciences.

She conducts research in the areas of data curation\, museum informatics\, earth science and biodiversity informatics\, information organization\, and computer supported cooperative work. She is especially interested in how people use and create data and metadata\; the impact of information organization on information use\; issues of data provenance\, reproducibility\, and integration\; and long-term data curation and infrastructure sustainability. She is studying a number of these issues through the \"Migrating Research Data Collections\" project - a recently awarded Laura Bush 21st Century Librarianship Early Career Research Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

This many-to-many mapping injects noise into both the data and ground truth. As a result\, many of the models and assumptions used in traditional machine learning and signal processing must be used with caveats or adapted to meet the needs of this domain. I will discuss our work on algorithmic approaches to characterize and predict how humans perceive signals that modulate spoken communication\, focusing on emotion and mood. I will highlight our efforts in tracking mood for individuals with bipolar disorder. These technologies have the potential to forward diagnosis and treatment by providing constrained\, repeatable\, and easily modifiable assessment protocols\, objective measures\, and interaction scenarios.\n\nEmily Mower Provost is an Associate Professor in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan.

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.

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:63992-16059368@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:20191008T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T180000 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.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770226@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191001T091151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melody of Nostalgia: Sand Tapete & Ofrendas for Día de los Muertos alongside works in acrylic on canvas DESCRIPTION:Visiting Artist Fulgencio Lazo will work with U-M students and community members to design and create two tapetes\, or carpets of colored sand for Mexican Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations.

Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism.

Stamps School of Art & Design\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n  UID:67261-16831193@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,History LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191002T104317 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Great Lakes Seminar - Dr. Joannes Westerink - Tuesday\, October 8\, 10:30-11:30 am DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Great Lakes Seminar!\nTuesday\, October 8\, 10:30-11:30 am\n\nNOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory \n4840 S State Rd\, Ann Arbor\n\nRemote participation via webinar is available: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/5551628124438203405\n\nPresenter: Joannes Westerink\, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering & Earth Sciences\, University of Notre Dame\n\nTitle: Towards Heterogeneous Process\, Scale\, and Model Coupling in Simulating the Hydrodynamics of the Coastal Ocean\n\nAbout the speaker:\nJoannes Westerink is the Joseph and Nona Ahearn Professor of Computational Science and Engineering and the Henry J. Massman Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences at the University of Notre Dame. He obtained his B.S. (1979) and M.S. (1981) degrees in Civil Engineering at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Ph.D. (1984) degree in Civil Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.\n\nWesterink develops high resolution heterogeneous unstructured mesh\, multi-physics\, multi-scale hydrodynamic codes and models for the hydrodynamics of the coastal ocean and has successfully transitioned these to practitioners for a wide range of applications including the analysis and design of major flood control projects and coastal ocean water level forecasting systems. Westerink has pioneered the successful use of global to channel scale highly heterogeneous unstructured mesh coastal ocean models with mesh resolution varying by up to four orders of magnitude. This encompasses the optimization of algorithms\; development of high performance codes in vector and parallel computing environments\; the linkages of circulation models to weather and short wind wave models\; model verification\, validation\, and uncertainty quantification\; and the application of codes to oceans\, continental shelf regions\, estuaries\, rivers\, and coastal flood plains. Westerink is the co-developer\, with Rick Luettich of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Clint Dawson of the University of Texas at Austin\, of the widely used ADCIRC finite element based shallow water equation code. ADCIRC has evolved into a community based coastal hydrodynamics code with wide ranging applications within academia\, government\, and the private sector worldwide. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers\, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration all use ADCIRC in support of coastal water level and flooding analyses and forecasts.\n\nWesterink was a team co-lead in the U.S. Army’s Interagency Performance Evaluation Taskforce (IPET) investigation of the Hurricane Katrina (2005) flooding failures in Louisiana. He led ADCIRC storm surge model development for the USACE’s New Orleans and vicinity Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System. He also led the ADCIRC model development for the FEMA Flood Insurance Studies in coastal Louisiana and Texas. He served as a commissioner on the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority and has served as an advisor for the UNESCO Joint WMO-IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology on Enhancing Forecasting Capabilities for North Indian Ocean Storm Surges. He currently serves as an International Advisory Board Member of CIGIDEN\, Chile’s National Research Center for Integrated Natural Disaster Management.\n\nWesterink’s current research includes: the development of high order h-p adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin based coastal circulation codes\; incorporating phase resolving wave processes including run-up directly into circulation codes\; understanding resonant basin and shelf modes and shelf dissipation processes\; incorporating local rainfall and small scale channel routing capabilities into shallow water based codes\; sea ice interaction with wind waves and circulation\; and downscaling global ocean models into global high resolution coastal models to account for baroclinicity and sea level fluctuations. Current applications regions include developing the next generation of ESTOFS water level forecast models for NOAA focusing on Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands\; the U.S. East and Gulf coasts\, and Alaska.\n\nAbout the presentation: \nHurricane wind wave\, storm surge\, and current environments in the coastal ocean and adjacent coastal floodplain are characterized by their high energy and by their spatial variability. These processes impact offshore energy assets\, navigation\, ports and harbors\, deltas\, wetlands\, and coastal communities. The potential for an enormous catastrophic impact in terms of loss of life and economic losses is substantial.\n\nComputational models for wind waves and storm driven currents and surge must provide a high level of grid resolution\, fully couple the wind wave and long wave processes\, and perform quickly for risk assessment\, flood mitigation system design\, and forecasting purposes. In order to accomplish this\, high performance scalable codes are essential. To this end\, we have developed an MPI based domain decomposed unstructured grid framework that minimizes global communications\, efficiently handles localized sub-domain to sub-domain communication\, applies a local inter-model paradigm with all model to model communications being kept on identical cores for sub-domains\, and carefully manages output by assigning specialized cores for this purpose. Continuous Galerkin (CG) and Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) implementations are examined. Performance of explicit and implicit implementations of the wave-current coupled system on up to 32\,000 cores for various platforms is evaluated. \n\nThe system has been extensively validated with an ever increasing amount of wave\, water level and current data that has being collected for recent storms including Hurricanes Katrina (2005)\, Rita (2005)\, Gustav (2008)\, Ike (2008)\, and Sandy (2012). The modeling system helps understand the physics of hurricane storm surges including processes such as geostrophically driven forerunner\, shelf waves that propagate far away from the storm\, wind wave – surge interaction\, surge capture and propagation by protruding deltaic river systems\, the influence of storm size and forward speed\, and frictionally controlled inland penetration.\n\nThese models are being applied by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in the development of the recently completed hurricane risk reduction system in Southern Louisiana as well as for the development of FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMS) for Texas\, Louisiana\, Mississippi\, and other Gulf and Atlantic coast states. NOAA applies the models in extra-tropical and tropical storm surge forecasting. \n\nCurrent development is focused on incorporating a wider range of physics affecting coastal and inland water levels as well as forces on infrastructure including large scale baroclinically driven processes\, rainfall runoff in upland areas and on the coastal floodplain\, and wave run-up. This is accomplished with an interleafing framework in which heterogeneous models focused on a select range of processes are coupled over the same domain and/or specific targeted equations that are dynamically assigned to changing portions of the domain as appropriate to the prevailing flow conditions. This is all done in a dynamically load balanced framework. Algorithmic development is focused on DG solvers\, ideally suited for the associated strongly advective flows\, allow super-parametric elements for p=1 and p=2 and iso-parametric elements for p=3 in order to achieve improved convergence rates and overall runtime efficiency\, and allow for the selection of localized physics on the elemental level.

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:58562-14511282@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:63803-15884081@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:63627-15820753@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:20190923T123119 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T150000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:CEIA Internship & Co-Op Virtual Fair (Nationwide) - CEIA Internship & Co-Op Virtual Fair DESCRIPTION:Students nationwide seeking Internships & Co-ops meet Employers in a Virtual Career Fairhttps://www.careereco.com/Fair/EventDetails?fairId=64329b3b-d26a-46f1-ad17-aa64013d1a29Internships & Co-ops Virtual CareerFairOctober 8\, 2019Event Hours: 11am - 3pm EasternEvent hosted by:Event Sponsors UID:65460-16599599@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65460 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:P.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

The other traces the Power family’s seminal role in supporting Inuit art and introducing it to a U.S. audience. Seventy years ago\, neither the Inuit artists nor the Power family could have foreseen the tremendous popularity that this work would come to enjoy. Taking its title from the Inuktitut word for “unexpected\,” this stirring exhibition showcases 58 works from the collection of Philip and Kathy Power\, most from the very early contemporary period of the 1950s and 60s. Included are exquisite sculptures of ivory\, bone\, and stone\, as well as stonecut and stencil prints\, some from the first annual Inuit print collection in 1959. Among the renowned Inuit artists featured in this historic survey are Kenojuak Ashevak\, Lucy Qinnuayuak\, Niviaksiak\, Osuitok Ipeelee\, Kananginak Pootoogook\, and Johnny Inukpuk.\n \nThe exhibition also serves as a promising launch pad for future groundbreaking research\, exhibitions\, and programming related to Inuit art and culture at the University of Michigan\, thanks to the generosity of the Power family.\n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

What would have happened if we had perfect foresight and understanding of the complex interactions between automotive technology and human behavior\, including changes to transportation infrastructure\, urban and suburban design\, energy use\, and American culture? \n \nWhile we cannot go back in time\, we do have the opportunity to explore these types of questions for current emerging technologies that promise to be similarly transformative to society. Estimating human-technology interactions and their associated environmental impacts at an early design stage provides insights into the overall impact of a new technology and offers the greatest opportunities for improvement. \n\nThis talk will present methods to integrate concepts from life cycle assessment\, diffusion of innovations\, and system dynamics to construct future scenarios that identify plausible options for new technology design or policy development. A case study will be explored that evaluates the food-energy-water effects of refrigerated food supply chains (a.k.a. “the cold chain”) introduced within developing countries. The cold chain presents an excellent example to explore sustainable development from a holistic perspective\, including advances in technical innovation\, changes to underlying infrastructure\, and shifts in human behavior and diets. \n\nDr. Miller’s research interests center around the life cycle impacts of emerging energy systems. Recent work focuses on the non-carbon aspects of biofuels\, such as disruptions to the nitrogen cycle and changes in land use. Interests also include advancing Life Cycle Assessment methods to analyze dynamic and emerging systems\, such as hydraulic fracturing in the US and electricity grids in developing countries.\n\nJonathan W.

Roles for striatal plasticity in obesity DESCRIPTION:Abstract: While urges to eat are regulated by hunger\, satiety\, and energy demand\, they are also strongly influenced by sights\, sounds\, and smells that are associated with food (food cues). Dr. Ferrario’s lab examines the neurobiological mechanisms of cue-triggered food craving and how these processes are influenced by consumption of sugary\, fatty\, “junk-food” diets and individual susceptibility to obesity. Her studies use a variety of approaches in preclinical models including behavior\, biochemistry\, and slice electrophysiology. In her talk\, she will discuss how alterations in excitatory transmission within the brain's reward pathway influence cue-triggered food seeking behavior\, and the relationship of these neurobehavioral alterations to aberrant vs. normative reward-seeking behaviors that contribute to obesity.

Many studies have documented reduced fire severity for a standard set of fuel treatments\, but the range of variability in fuel treatment effectiveness for alternative treatment designs is poorly understood. We used nonlinear mixed-effects modeling to estimate the distance into the treated area at which fire severity decreases and randomization tests to compare forest structure. The range of variability in observed-distance high-severity fire effects persist into the treated area and\, in conjunction with estimated relationships between posttreatment forest structure and severity\, can inform the design of alternative fuel treatment prescriptions with various target prescriptions. Our study will inform decision makers on the size of treatments required to accomplish management objectives.

A major challenge is the striking cellular and structural heterogeneity of the tissues and organs in our bodies\, which can be hierarchical\, graded\, and heterogeneous over multiple length and time scales. Prof. Harley’s research program is developing approaches to pattern biomaterials at structural and biomolecular scales to replicate these complex environments. We provide new insight regarding the degree of biomaterial complexity required to investigate cellular processes related to development\, disease\, and regeneration. I will describe a collagen biomaterial being developed to regenerate craniomaxillofacial bones and musculoskeletal insertions. We are using bioinspired design motifs to create composite materials that instruct desired cell activities while retaining mechanical competence required for clinical translation. I will also describe a gelatin hydrogel platform and microfluidic forming techniques we have developed to create libraries of optically-translucent tissue microenvironments containing patterns of cell\, matrix\, biomolecular\, and metabolic cues. We are using these engineered microenvironments to culture hematopoietic stem cells and patient-derived glioblastoma specimens\, the most common and lethal form of brain cancer. I will highlight work that employs this platform to regulate processes such as stem cell self-renewal vs. quiescence\; cell-cell signaling and remodeling of perivascular environments\; as well as to identify microenvironmental signals driving cancer cell invasion and therapeutic resistance.\n\nSHORT BIO\n\nBrendan Harley is a Professor and Robert W.

The tour for those 50 and over will delve into the history and influence of Daniel Defoe’s \"The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\"\, first published in 1719. In the 300 years since its publication\, Defoe’s narrative of shipwreck and survival has captured readers’ imaginations\, inspiring a multitude of adaptations and spin-offs\, and becoming a cultural touchstone. Featuring material from the University of Michigan Library Special Collections Research Center’s Hubbard Imaginary Voyages Collection\, the exhibit explores questions about self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.

Yet what might be gained by shifting attention from the amply documented places where Pentecostal churches flourish to the relatively unknown places where they fail? In this talk\, anthropologist Devaka Premawardhana reflects on the ambivalence with which Pentecostalism has been received by the Makhuwa-speaking people of northern Mozambique. The Makhuwa are not averse to the newly arrived churches. Many relate to them powerfully\, but few remain in them permanently. Premawardhana attributes this religious fluidity to pragmatic and experimental dispositions cultivated by the Makhuwa in their pre-Pentecostal pasts—through migration histories and lifecycle rituals—and carried by them into their post-Pentecostal futures.\n\nBiography\nDevaka Premawardhana’s research and teaching bring ethnographic and existential perspectives to bear on the fields of global Christianity and African religions. He is an anthropologist with extensive fieldwork experience in Makhuwa-speaking communities of Mozambique (in southeast Africa). His first book\, Faith in Flux: Pentecostalism and Mobility in Rural Mozambique\, explores the ambiguities of religious change among a traditionally mobile people. It contests the widely assumed narrative of a worldwide Pentecostal “explosion\,” doing so on the grounds that indigenous religions often remain vibrant and influential—even in the lives of converts.Among other awards and honors\, Premawardhana was named a 2017 Emerging Scholar by Diverse: Issues in Higher Education magazine. He has served on the editorial board of the Encyclopedia of Christianity in the Global South and currently sits on the steering committee of the American Academy of Religion’s African Religions unit. Before joining Emory’s department of religion in 2018\, Premawardhana earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University and taught at Colorado College.Ph.D. in Religion and Anthropology\, Harvard University\, 2014 UID:67986-16977577@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:africa,african diaspora,African Studies,African Studies Center,Religion LOCATION:Haven Hall - 4701 (DAAS Conference Room) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191008T181721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Quantifying the Impact of State-Mixing on the Rydberg Excitation Blockade DESCRIPTION:The Rydberg excitation blockade\, a process in which interactions among highly-excited atoms suppress laser excitation\, has been at the heart of an impressive array of recent achievements in quantum information and simulation. It has been shown that state-mixing interactions\, which result from couplings among multi particle Rydberg states near Förster resonance\, may compromise the effectiveness of the blockade under otherwise favorable conditions [1]. We present progress on an experiment in which we seek to quantify the negative impact of state-mixing on the blockade. We use state-selective field ionization spectroscopy to measure\, on a shot-by-shot basis\, the distribution of Rydberg states populated during narrowband laser excitation of ultracold rubidium atoms. Our method allows us to quantify both the “mixing-free” blockade effectiveness\, as well as the number of additional Rydberg excitations added by each mixing event.\n\n[1] A.

She explores the notion of “folded time” in which the present disappears through the imperative of cure in the case of Hansen’s disease care. By thinking about the imperative of cure as a time machine that seeks to take us to the past and to the future by universalizing disability experiences and denying coevalness\, Kim explores the possibility of inhabiting in the present with disability and illness. While calling attention to the transnational construction of disability under militarism and imperialism\, Kim argues that the possibility of life with disability that is free from violence depends on the creation of a space and time where cure is understood as a negotiation rather than a necessity.\n\nEunjung Kim is associate professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and Disability Studies Program at Syracuse University.

Hailed for “the breadth of her reading and the comprehensiveness with which she considers the things that define place” (New York Times)\, Lippard began her career as an art critic in 1962\, when she began contributing to publications such as Art International and\, later\, Artforum. In the late 1970s\, she became a founding member of the feminist journal Heresies.

Halaloween: Ritual DESCRIPTION:On October 8th\, 2019\, Ritual will be the second film we screen as a part of 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 8th\, 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: \nOctober 8: Ritual (dir. Joko Anwar\; Indonesia\, 2012): A master class in cinematography and editing for horror movies. The first half of the movie is essentially silent\, as the protagonist regains consciousness in a shallow grave\, learns the gruesome fate of his wife\, and flees an unknown enemy through the pristine Indonesian forest. Who is he? What is the meaning of the mysterious and violent ritual he seems doomed to repeat? The ending only doubles down on the mystery\; this is Lost for horror fans\, but taut\, beautifully paced\, gorgeous and well-acted. The violence is horrific\, but mostly off-screen. Fridged women\; fridged families\; sinister home movies. Smile for the camera! In English.

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:63992-16059369@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:20191024T063035 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:New York Life Employer Office Hours and Interviews (Student-Athletes) DESCRIPTION:Join the conversation about opportunities and financial industry advice with a Michigan based New York Life manager.

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.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770227@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191001T091151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melody of Nostalgia: Sand Tapete & Ofrendas for Día de los Muertos alongside works in acrylic on canvas DESCRIPTION:Visiting Artist Fulgencio Lazo will work with U-M students and community members to design and create two tapetes\, or carpets of colored sand for Mexican Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations.

Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N.

Stamps School of Art & Design\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n  UID:67261-16831194@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,History LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190510T121534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\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:58562-14511283@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:63803-15884082@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:63627-15820754@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:20190813T100312 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Capital One Career Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Career Day for Capital One on Wednesday\, October 9\, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.

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.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

The other traces the Power family’s seminal role in supporting Inuit art and introducing it to a U.S. audience. Seventy years ago\, neither the Inuit artists nor the Power family could have foreseen the tremendous popularity that this work would come to enjoy. Taking its title from the Inuktitut word for “unexpected\,” this stirring exhibition showcases 58 works from the collection of Philip and Kathy Power\, most from the very early contemporary period of the 1950s and 60s. Included are exquisite sculptures of ivory\, bone\, and stone\, as well as stonecut and stencil prints\, some from the first annual Inuit print collection in 1959. Among the renowned Inuit artists featured in this historic survey are Kenojuak Ashevak\, Lucy Qinnuayuak\, Niviaksiak\, Osuitok Ipeelee\, Kananginak Pootoogook\, and Johnny Inukpuk.\n \nThe exhibition also serves as a promising launch pad for future groundbreaking research\, exhibitions\, and programming related to Inuit art and culture at the University of Michigan\, thanks to the generosity of the Power family.\n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

At such low masses\, the usual nuclear recoil picture breaks down\, as the dark matter recoils against individual athermal phonon modes instead. I will show how the rate for these processes can be calculated and why superfluid helium and polar materials are good targets for this type of dark matter.

Given the persistent inequity in terms of both race and social class in the U.S.\, my research utilizes perspectives from developmental\, social\, and cultural psychology to examine how features of our social and cultural contexts (e.g.\, racially segregated neighborhoods and classrooms) influence individuals’ thoughts and feelings about intergroup relations\, and how these psychological outcomes in turn reify existing inequities. In this talk\, I will examine how racial segregation shapes both perceptions of others’ racial attitudes throughout development. In addition\, I discuss how these perceptions may be used to justify and ultimately perpetuate the persistence of racial segregation. By bringing to light these processes\, we can better understand why change is more difficult and slow than expected.

These complex systems often require an appropriate excitation\, an optimal hierarchical organization\, or a periodic dynamical structure\, such as synchrony\, to function as desired or operate optimally. In many application domains\, e.g.\, neurostimulation in brain medicine and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging in quantum control\, control and observation can only be implemented at the population level\, through broadcasting a single input signal to all the systems in the population and through collecting aggregated system-level measurements of the population\, respectively. These limitations give rise to challenging problems and new control paradigms involving underactuated manipulation of dynamic ensembles. This talk will address theoretical and computational challenges for targeted coordination of both isolated and networked ensemble systems arising in diverse areas at different scales. Both model-based and data-driven approaches for learning\, decoding\, control\, and computation of dynamic structures and patterns in ensemble systems will be presented. Practical control designs\, including synchronization waveforms for pattern formation in complex networks and optimal pulses in quantum control\, will be illustrated along with their experimental realizations. Lastly\, future directions and opportunities in Systems and Controls will be discussed.\n\n3:45 p.m. - Light Refreshments Served\n4:00 p.m. - Lecture UID:68092-17009821@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68092 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Information and Technology,Lecture,Life Science,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall, 4th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191002T115041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hopwood Teaching Roundtable DESCRIPTION:New\, experienced\, and future teachers of creative writing are invited to join an ongoing conversation about the art and craft of teaching creative writing.

I argue that many genome-scale patterns in molecular biology and evolution (e.g.\, on transcription/translation initiation site variation\, alternative polyadenylation\, posttranscriptional modification\, chromosomal locations of genes\, and protein evolutionary rate) originate from molecular errors and differential natural selection mitigating these errors. Realizing that the cellular life is far from the orderly and harmonious picture commonly portrayed is important for understanding biology.

From Qubbet el-Hawa\, the place farthest away from the capital Memphis\, these inscribed facades project multiples lines of connectivity with the Memphite center\, and thus the king. The facades address the passerby\, not only through the hieroglyphically inscribed words (which would have been legible only by the very few)\, but also through their overall visual and monumental quality\, as well as through elements in their inscriptional layout. In this presentation\, Prof. Stauder-Porchet will be focusing on Harkhuf’s facade in particular\, discussing its poetic form (including in visual terms)\, its verbal and visual rhetoric\, and how it makes for visual encounters with the beholder.

Dr. Suni will discuss the repeating cycles of violence against these minority communities and the effects of their violent histories on the landscape through an ethnographic exploration of physical spaces of ruins\, including Armenian churches and Kurdish homes. Through attention to the persistent effects of violence on both local memory and the built environment\, this presentation complicates the categories of victim and perpetrator. The talk will show how Armenian and Kurdish histories\, often understood disparately\, are fundamentally intertwined. With an ethnographic focus on shared spaces of material ruins\, Dr. Suni will demonstrate how buildings and landscapes are not merely static reflections of a bygone time. Instead\, these ruins\, in which overlapping histories of state violence are sedimented\, are dynamic spaces in which understandings of the past\, politics in the present\, and possible futures are negotiated\, imagined and enacted. \n \nDr. Anoush Tamar Suni earned her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of California\, Los Angeles in 2019. Her dissertation\, entitled “Palimpsests of Violence: Ruination and the Politics of Memory in Anatolia\,” investigates questions of memory and the material legacies of state violence in the region of Van in southeastern Turkey with a focus on the historic Armenian and contemporary Kurdish communities. For her dissertation\, between 2015 and 2017\, Dr. Suni spent over two years in Van and Istanbul conducting ethnographic research. She completed her BA in Middle East Studies at Pomona College\, in California in 2009 and her MA in Turkish Studies at Sabanci University in Istanbul in 2012.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us (at tumanyan@umich.edu) at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.
