Morales to give a lecture based on his book\, Latino and Muslim in America: Race\, Religion\, and the Making of a New Minority\, which is the first complete academic study on Latinx Muslims in the United States.\n\nDinner will be served!\n\nDr. Harold D. Morales is an Associate Professor in the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Morgan State University where he teaches courses in religious studies and philosophy of religion. He earned his Ph.D. and M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of California Riverside and his B.A. in Philosophy from California State University Fullerton. His research focuses on the intersections between race and religion and between lived and mediated religion. He uses these critical lenses to engage Latinx religions in general and Latino Muslim groups in particular. He is the author of Latino and Muslim in America: Race\, Religion\, and the Making of a New Minority (2018). His work with Latino Muslim communities spans ten years of media analysis and ethnographic research in California\, Texas\, Georgia\, Florida\, New York and New Jersey.\n\n\"Latino and Muslim in America examines how so called \"minority groups\" are made\, fragmented\, and struggle for recognition in the U.S.A. The U.S. is currently poised to become the first nation whose collective minorities will outnumber the dominant population\, and Latinos play no small role inthis world changing demographic shift. Even as many people view Latinos and Muslims as growing threats\, Latino Muslims celebrate their intersecting identities both in their daily lives and in their mediated representations online.In this book\, Harold Morales follows the lives of several Latino Muslim leaders from the 1970's to the present\, and their efforts to organize and unify nationally in order to solidify the new identity group's place within the public sphere. Based on four years of ethnography\, media analysis andhistorical research\, Morales demonstrates how the phenomenon of Latinos converting to Islam emerges from distinctive immigration patterns and laws\, urban spaces\, and new media technologies that have increasingly brought Latinos and Muslims in to contact with one another. He explains this growingcommunity as part of the mass exodus out of the Catholic Church\, the digitization of religion\, and the growth of Islam. Latino and Muslim in America explores the racialization of religion\, the framing of religious conversion experiences\, the dissemination of post-colonial histories\, and thedevelopment of Latino Muslim networks\, to show that the categories of race\, religion\, and media are becoming inextricably entwined.\" UID:67741-16926552@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67741 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,American Culture,Anthropology,Arts of Islam,Culture,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Free,History,Humanities,immigration,Inclusion,Interdisciplinary,Islam,Latin America,Latine Heritage Month,Lecture,MESA,Middle East Studies,Multicultural,Muslim,Social Sciences LOCATION:Haven Hall - 3512 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191002T102637 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T210000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Movin' & Groovin' DESCRIPTION:Get ready to get physical!

Stasys Eidrigevičius: Collages DESCRIPTION:*The juxtaposition of fragments creates original\, unexpected\, and often surrealist images that unlock a new imaginary universe.*\n\nStasys Eidrigevičius\, often referred to simply as “Stasys\,” was born in Mediniskiai\, Lithuania in 1949. He studied at the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts before moving to Warsaw in 1980 where he established a reputation as a world-renowned artist. A master of many techniques as an illustrator\, book cover designer\, sculptor\, painter\, and photographer\, Stasys is perhaps best known for his graphics and poster art. He has exhibited in the United States\, Switzerland\, Japan\, Great Britain\, Spain\, France\, Germany and many other countries. \n\nStasys is the recipient of numerous international prizes and medals in various fields of artistic activity including: the Grand Prize at the International Book Illustration Contest in Barcelona (1986)\; Gold Medal at the International Poster Festival in Chicago (1987)\; Silver Medal at the 2nd International Exhibition of Graphic Art in New York (1988)\; Grand Prize at the 1st International Biennial Exhibition of Book Illustration in Belgrade (1990) and Bratislava (1991)\; Grand Prize at the International Salon of Poster in Paris (1993)\; Gold Medal at the 4th International Triennial of Poster in Toyama (Japan\, 1994)\; and at the Polish Poster Biennale in Katowice (1999).

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

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

Likewise\, these devices are an enabling technology to understand normal brain function and behavior. However\, questions remain regarding the relationship between the biological response to implanted electrodes\, their chronic performance\, and features of their design. It is my lab’s goal to understand the basic science underlying the interaction between implanted electrodes and brain cells\, and to provide guiding principles to improve device design and performance as a result. Recently\, we have found novel effects of implanted silicon and polyimide-based electrode arrays on the structure and function of local neurons\, including alterations in ion channel expression\, synaptic transporter expression\, dendritic spine density\, and excitability. Results of quantitative immunohistochemistry demonstrate a progressive local increase in the expression of potassium ion channels and inhibitory transporters surrounding devices implanted in the brains of rats over time\, indicating a potential shift toward hypoexcitability over the 6-week time course studied. Two-photon laser scanning microscopy in brain slice preparations revealed profound local spine loss surrounding implants\, coupled with observations of reduced responsiveness to injected current during whole cell intracellular recordings\, where preliminary observations indicate particularly pronounced effects surrounding silicon-based devices. More recently\, we have pursued RNA-sequencing to understand the molecular identity and function of neurons and non-neurons surrounding implanted electrodes. Our results suggest a novel role of local plasticity surrounding devices in chronic signal loss and instability\, and we are currently working to assess and perturb local gene expression to reveal potential underlying mechanisms.

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:63992-16059370@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:20191010T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T180000 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.

More specifically\, in terms of reading early modern English literature\, how does Renaissance humanism’s rote literacies--the notebook method\, the use of double-translation\, the range of practices associated with this institutionalized learning theater—figure in this story of human cognition and adaptation? That is\, how might we\nread Tudor humanism in the context of co-evolved cognition? How might these training exercises form a kind of selection pressure that taps into the distinguishing feature of the homo adapted brain\, the way we can memorize habituated routines within an unseen storehouse that allows for the brain to work offline?

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:66701-16770228@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:20191010T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T170000 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.

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:67261-16831195@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:20191010T105604 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Yahoo/Verizon Media Career Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Career Day for Verizon Media on Thursday\, October 10\, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.\n\nLearn about open roles\, speak with high-level engineers and members of our Design/APM team (product managers)\, and submit your resume in-person during Verizon Media's Career Day on 10/10!\n\nAs Verizon’s media unit\, our brands like Yahoo\, TechCrunch and HuffPost help people stay informed and entertained\, communicate and transact\, while creating new ways for advertisers and partners to connect.

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:58562-14511284@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:63803-15884083@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:63627-15820755@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:20191004T181807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988390@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T170000 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. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times\, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality\, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering.

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.

We have developed a new platform combining several newly developed technologies including Vaa3D\, TeraFly\, UltraTracer\, and TeraVR (Nature\, 2019)\, to attempt this challenge. Particularly\, we have used TeraFly to invoke Vaa3D to quickly visualize the whole mouse brain image volume and manage the thousands of billions of voxels in each of the brain volume. We then used UltraTracer to wrap several efficient base tracers to trace such massive data volumes. Finally\, we combined virtual reality and machine learning into a tool called TeraVR for efficient proofreading and editing of such reconstructed neuron morphology. We are further improving the integration of these tools for more scalable and accurate single neuron morphometry.\n\nSpeaker:\nHanchuan Peng is the director of the SEU-ALLEN Joint Center and director of advanced computing at the Allen Institute for Brain Science. His lab develops revolutionary technologies to generate\, manage\, visualize\, analyze and understand massive-scale structure and function data related to brains. Peng also led the Big Image Mining team at Janelia\, HHMI. Peng is a highly cited inventor of a number of new algorithms and software/hardware systems\, including Vaa3D - a widely adopted high-performance platform for very large multi-dimensional images\, BrainAligner\, SmartScope\, mRMR\, etc. He built and co-worked the first digital maps for several widely used model systems at single cell/neurite resolution\, and led the “BigNeuron” initiative. Peng was inducted into AIMBE in 2019\, is a co-recipient of USA National Academy of Sciences’ Cozzarelli Prize (2013)\, and a recipient of the DIADEM award (2010). His work has been featured in Nature\, Science\, NPR\, and NBC\, among others.\n\nLunch will be provided.

Recently\, the Proyecto de Investigación Arqueológica de Jahuay has uncovered burials from multiple late prehispanic contexts. This talk presents ongoing research into these mortuary traditions. Among our findings\, we observe that the unique mortuary patterns previously documented by our colleagues in Chincha reached beyond the valley proper during the Late Intermediate Period and Late Horizon\, demonstrating the persistence of the social and political ties between Jahuay and the Chincha Valley. The variation across these mortuary contexts raises numerous questions about the social and political organization of Chincha and the surrounding regions\, prior to and during the Inca imperial conquest.

It also generally increases the results’ sensitivity to model features/parameters as well as the difficulty of constructing the models\, accurately solving the governing equations\, and interpreting the resulting data. Therefore\, one should base the analysis on the lowest-fidelity model one can get away with or\, equivalently\, the highest-fidelity model one can afford. The sweet spot for the tradeoff\, “the appropriate model”\, has changed over time in part because past successes in simulation-based science and engineering have increased expectations/requirements from electromagnetic analysis and in part because tremendous improvements in computing infrastructure and advances in computational methods have increased the affordability of complex analysis. Finding the appropriate model requires understanding both the benefits and the costs of analysis when a lower- or higher-fidelity model is used\; neither side of the ledger\, however\, is known beforehand (unless one is repeating previously established analyses). A possible approach to revealing these unknowns is to construct models by gradually increasing their fidelity\, performing analysis at each fidelity level\, and comparing the analysis results and costs to those from the previous steps. I will show examples of this “analysis-driven modeling” in bioelectromagnetics (using the AustinMan and AustinWoman human body models) and signal integrity (using an electronic package example) by employing parallel algorithms and advanced integral-equation solvers on leading-edge supercomputers.\n\n The examples will highlight many of the challenges arising from this approach to modeling. An important one is that “the appropriate method” of analysis generally depends on the model\, e.g.\, a method can outperform alternatives for low-fidelity models but underperform them for high-fidelity ones\; indeed\, inappropriate (but convenient) methods can not only inflate the cost side of the ledger but also deflate the benefit side\, leading to misjudgment of the appropriate model fidelity. Thus\, not surprisingly\, the development of appropriate electromagnetic models and appropriate computational methods are tightly linked (aka “if all you have is a hammer\, everything looks like a nail”). Unfortunately\, evaluating computational methods to find the appropriate one for a given model is surprisingly difficult\, even for unbiased experts\, as method performances depend not just on the models but also on the computers\, the software realizations of the methods\, and the users/developers of the software. On the one hand\, theoretical comparisons (e.g.\, of asymptotic complexities\, error convergence rates\, parallel scalability limits) are often incapable of factoring in the large impact of software and hardware infrastructure on the realized/observed performance of a computational method—a problem that has worsened as the traditional Dennard scaling of clock frequencies ended in the last decade. On the other hand\, empirical comparisons are beset by the same problems that physical measurements face (including irreproducible and uncertain results)\, require many (potentially low-efficiency) computations\, and suffer from the large number of alternative methods. I will discuss whether benchmark suites can improve the judicious use of computational methods for electromagnetic analysis and what the necessary ingredients for such benchmarks are.\n\nBio: Ali Yilmaz is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a core faculty member at the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin.

The most widely used model is a linear program that maximizes cellular growth rate subject to achieving steady metabolic state and to satisfying environmental bounds. Quadratic and integer modifications are also common. Standard stoichiometry decides the preponderance of data in all instances\, and hence\, the majority of information defining an optimization model is certain. However\, several key parts of a model rely on inferred science and are less certain\; indeed\, the method of deciding several of these values is opaque in the literature. This prompts the question of how the resulting science might depend on our lack of knowledge. We suggest a robust extension of FBA called Robust Analysis of Metabolic Pathways (RAMP) that accounts for uncertain information. We show that RAMP has several mathematical properties concomitant with our biological understanding\, that RAMP performs like a relaxation of FBA in practice\, and that RAMP requires special numerical awareness to solve.\n\nBio:\nAllen Holder earned his PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Colorado at Denver in 1998.

The overall thinking was that scientific exploration is the path to economic prosperity\, and applying the emerging high performance computing capability to a problem of national interest - aircraft propulsion - will provide an edge in an increasingly competitive environment. The relationship was strengthened when the US signed (but did not ratify) the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty (CTBT). The methods and tools needed to ensure stockpile readiness could be directly tested using computational propulsion as a surrogate problem. Leading OEMs (P&W\, GE\, Rolls Royce) seized this opportunity\, leading to transformative design processes\, the impact of which is seen in the phenomenal advances in aircraft engine performance in the last three decades. \n\nIn the last decade\, there has been a change in the governing philosophy for computing. It is now seen that computing should support industrial leadership\, which is deemed the path for economic success. While this may seem abstract\, the effect is that computing is seen as a way to accelerate decision making in the industrial context. Driven by Silicon Valley’s increasing dominance over the use of computations\, emerging supercomputing architectures are geared towards processing large volumes of data. This has important implications for computational propulsion. For instance\, the path towards computations-based certification of alternative fuels may no longer be possible. At the same time\, new opportunities have emerged. This talk discusses the nuances of this new era of supercomputing and its role in computational sciences.\n\nThis talk is based on a recent article by the speaker: “Emerging Trends in Numerical Simulation of Combustion Systems”\, Hassanaly and Raman\, Proceedings of the Combustion Institute\, Volume 37\, Issue 2\, 2019\, Pages 2073-2089.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nVenkat Raman received his PhD from Iowa State University in 2003 in the department of chemical engineering. He was a NASA/Center for Turbulence Research Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University from 2003-2004\, and a research associate in the Center for Integrated Turbulence Simulations from 2004-2005.\n\nFrom 2005-2014\, he was on the faculty of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Department at The University of Texas at Austin\, initially as an assistant professor (2005-2011) and later as tenured associate professor (2011-2014).\n\nRaman received an NSF CAREER award in 2008\, a distinguished paper award at the International Combustion Symposium in 2013\, and the Moncrief Grand Challenge Award in 2013. He held the Eli. H and Ramona Thornton Centennial Fellow in Engineering at UT Austin from 2013-2014.

For socio-biologists and linguists\, recursion is considered a fundamental mechanism of human language\, a sequence formula that requires it's output as a component of it's first step\, hence the analogy of sourdough yeast (you need sourdough to make sourdough). Hamlet’s conceit of habitual memory--Osric’s “yeasty collection”--calls attention to the regenerative performative elements of his own memory work. If humans figure in the deep history of evolution as exhibiting a plasticity that enables us to adapt to many environments with different selection pressures\, then it is because our capacity for self-reflection has enabled us to charge our habitual memory to work toward an endless set of adaptive goals across a range of environments.\nRenaissance humanism seems\, from this perspective\, not so much the birth of the human\, as the return of a set of co-evolved cognitive attributes released through rote literacy practices. Bearing witness to the deep history of the species within the early modern\, Hamlet’s posthuman ontology intimates the serendipity of contingency and the unbound nature of plasticity.

The majority of the applications of the classic \"node-based\" approach rely heavily on individual researchers' implicit assumptions about patterns of morphological evolution and the fossilization process. The application of these methods to understanding the evolution of vascular plants has been particularly controversial\, yielding divergence time estimates often seen as incompatible with the fossil record. However\, \"total-evidence dating\" (TED) methodologies offer the opportunity to overcome the difficulties inherent in the traditional node-based approaches\, allowing for the simultaneous inference of the phylogenetic relationships of extant and extinct vascular plants\, their divergence times\, and their patterns of morphological evolution. As part of a broader project to infer the timeline of vascular plant evolution\, I will discuss results of the application of TED approaches to the Marattiales\, a eusporangiate fern lineage with a deep fossil record (Marattiales taxa were dominant components of Carboniferous coal swamps)\, and close with comments on the challenges in implementing TED analyses\, and in particular\, in applying defensible models of morphological evolution.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/PEdhz9BuJbU UID:65471-16603598@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65471 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191010T181545 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Revealing the chemistry in quantum chemistry: from diatomics to proton coupled electron transfer in enzymes DESCRIPTION:With quantum chemistry nowadays most physical properties of molecules can be easily and (often) accurately calculated—for example\, DFT calculations of molecular structure\, reaction mechanisms\, and reaction energetics have become routine complements to organic chemistry. However\, the techniques behind these calculations afford no easy way of \"making sense\" of the computed quantities\, like orbitals and wave functions. Additionally\, many central empirical concepts of chemistry\, including concepts as basic as partial charges\, bond orders\, or even covalent bonds themselves\, have no consensus physical definition.\n\nWe here argue that\, once we properly define what is an \"atomic orbital\" in a molecule\, quantities representing most other empirical concepts can be straight-forwardly derived from simple physical arguments\, and then easily calculated. In this sense\, we show how our Intrinsic Atomic Orbital (IAO) technique gives rise to partial charges and bond orders\, and to bond orbitals\, which represent the electron pairs of Lewis structures (σ- and π-bonds). Even curly-arrow reaction mechanisms can be readily derived!\n\nBased on selected examples of both us and others\, we how IAOs allow the analysis of bonding in novel and exotic chemical species\, and how the method played a key role in understanding metal-catalyzed reaction mechanisms. \nGerald Knizia (Penn State) UID:65047-16509307@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65047 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191008T124910 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Role of Structural Dynamics in Smart Cities: What ambient vibrations tell us about structures\, people and the environment DESCRIPTION:As the concepts of Smart Cities\, Internet-of-things\, and Digital Twins continue to evolve\, stakeholders are beginning to ask increasingly complex questions about infrastructure: How will the built environment and its inhabitants respond to emergencies and natural disasters?\n\nDay-to-day (ambient) structural vibrations are an under-exploited source of information for answering these questions.

Born with a developmental condition\, she has only two fingers on one hand and had both her legs amputated at the age of nine\; she has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. Katayama treats her entire body\, body parts\, and prosthetics as “materials” to be arranged in photographs\, read as soft sculptures\, and decorated with lace\, shells\, and shiny objects. Katayama’s work exposes anxieties that haunt many of us — disabled or nondisabled — living in an age obsessed with body image. One of the most exciting new artists emerging from contemporary Japan\, Katayama’s work is featured in this year’s Venice Biennale in Italy. Her exhibition at UMMA\, Mari Katayama (on view October 12\, 2019 – January 26\, 2020)\, will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the US.

Born with a developmental condition\, she has only two fingers on one hand and had both her legs amputated at the age of nine\; she has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. Katayama treats her entire body\, bodily parts\, and prosthetics as “materials” to be arranged in photographs\, read as soft sculptures\, and decorated with lace\, shells\, and shiny objects. As the protagonist in intricately arranged narrative scenes\, the artist invites the viewer to voyeuristically experience a private space developed from her imagination. Katayama’s work exposes anxieties that haunt many of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. One of the most exciting new artists emerging from contemporary Japan\, Katayama’s work is featured this year’s Venice Biennale in Italy. Her exhibition at UMMA\, Mari Katayama (on view October 12\, 2019–January 26\, 2020)\, will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S. The talk will be moderated by Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art at UMMA and the exhibition curator.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Both underwent intensive\, tenuous and difficult negotiations in order to end their respective conflicts peacefully. What does it mean in such contexts to bring about “transitional justice?” What values and interests tend to drive transitional justice processes\, and what aspects of justice tend to be overlooked? How can societies address key forms of injustice that formal transitional justice processes downplay or omit? What were the comparative successes\, failures and difficulties that face societies after conflict in their quest for greater democracy\, human rights and social justice? This interdisciplinary panel will offer a comparative cross-regional discussion of transitional justice. Leading scholars from Africa and Latin America will share insights about macro-level commonalities in transitional justice processes across diverse societies. They will also examine how those high-level dynamics have affected micro-level social\, civil and political dynamics in the various countries they study\, work and live in—and thus the experiences of ordinary survivors seeking remedies to continuing injustice.\n\nParticipating speakers:\n\nLitheko Modisane(University of Cape Town)\nKeith Vermeulen (Methodist Church of Southern Africa)\nAlejandro Castillejo-Cuellar (Universidad de los Andes)\nGustavo Jose Rojas Paez (Universidad Libre de Colombia)\n\nYazier Henry (University of Michigan) as moderator\n\nHosted as part of the Ford School's Conversations Across Difference Initiative.

Last fall\, SiD faculty member Diana Seales coordinated 5 workshops for students and community members to learn about\, discuss\, and practice healing justice. This time\, the series is back with some updates and an additional workshop.\n\nAll workshops are free and open to the public and include a light dinner. \n\nIf you are coming from Ann Arbor as a registered student or someone who wants to drop in for one or more workshops\, please email Craig Regester (regester@umich.edu) to confirm your transportation.\n\nSERIES INFORMATION:\n\nCultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice\, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression. \n\nHealing Justice is woven through each of the workshops. Dr. Page of the Kindred Healing Justice Collective (often attributed with coining the phrase) describes Healing Justice as identifying how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence\, and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies\, hearts and minds.” \n\nAdditionally\, this series is led entirely by indigenous community members and activists. The practice of ritual\, which is deeply tied to healing justice and cultural organizing\, often comes at the risk of cultural appropriation. As we try to create cross-cultural community healing spaces\, it is vital to understand Anishinaabe culture as we stand on their land. This series will struggle with that idea\, with the challenge of ritual in the modern era\, and will encourage people not familiar with healing justice to get outside their comfort zones and confront the ways in which the destruction of indigenous healing practices and colonization are deeply interconnected. \n\nWORKSHOP SCHEDULE:\n\nOctober 3rd: Dreams as Empowerment - using dreams for self-healing\, transformation\, and intuition\nWorkshop by Zoë Villegas of Gemineye Tarot\n\nOctober 10th: How to Build Community Through Active Story Sharing and Movement - Dress comfortably and be ready to move: this workshop will include aspects of traditional as well as modern interpretations of Great Lakes Indigenous Dances\nWorkshop by Christy Giizigad of Aadizookaan\n \nOctober 17: Herbs & Ceremony - how ritual can be used for personal and activist self-care\nWorkshop by Adela Nieves Martinez of Healing by Choice!\n\nNovember 7th: Using Tarot and Folk Magic as Defense Against Colonialized Structures and Oppression\nWorkshop by Zoë and Alejandra Villegas of Gemineye Tarot\n\nNovember 14th: Understanding Anishinaabe Healing Practice to Create Cross-Cultural Community Healing Spaces\nWorkshop by Chantel Henry of American Indian Health and Family Services\n\nNovember 21st: Beat back the oppressors!

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

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

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:63992-16059371@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:20191010T072719 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T162000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Horror & Enchantment DESCRIPTION:We are fascinated by what we fear. Misery appalls and magnetises. Creation means possibility but also beckons dissolution and catastrophe. Change – perhaps most radically projected as “conversion” – is at once an exhilarating and menacing prospect. When meanings are destabilised and predictabilities lost\, experiences of opportunity and of awe jostle with feelings of anxiety and insignificance. Even love casts its shadows\, turning what is intimate and familiar into the province of comfort but also dread. Revered ancestors become ghosts\, dear neighbours witches. There is desire in absence\, monster in treasure\, chaos in awe. \n\nA distinguished\, international selection of scholars from across the humanities and social sciences gathers in Ann Arbor to explore the entwinement of horror and enchantment – amidst the intrusions and disturbances that characterised the medieval and early modern worlds – in an array of the post-colonial settings and cultural imaginations they helped to set in motion – and in a recognition of the fact that to investigate the coincidence of horror and enchantment in the past is also to inquire into ourselves\, and into the volatilities and predicaments of our own times and places.\n\nconvened by:\nKenneth Mills\, University of Michigan\nKris Lane\, Tulane University\nAto Quayson\, Stanford University\n\nFeaturing:\nJosiah Blackmore\, Harvard\nClifton Crais\, Emory\nHarry Garuba\, Capetown\nHelen Hills\, York (UK)\nMegan Holmes\, Michigan\nKris Lane\, Tulane\nPaul Christopher Johnson\, Michigan\nAnne Lester\, Johns Hopkins\nJeff Malpas\, Tasmania\nKenneth Mills\, Michigan\nMarcy Norton\, Pennsylvania\nKatrina B.

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:66701-16770229@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:20191011T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T170000 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.

For example\, transferring voice recognition trained on American English accents to apply to Scottish accents\, with minimal retraining. A first challenge is to understand how to properly model the ‘distance’ between source and target domains\, viewed as probability distributions over a feature space.\n\nIn this talk we will argue that various existing notions of distance between distributions turn out to be pessimistic\, i.e.\, these distances might appear high in many situations where transfer is possible\, even at fast rates. Instead we show that some new notions of distance tightly capture a continuum from easy to hard transfer\, and furthermore can be adapted to\, i.e.\, do not need to be estimated in order to perform near-optimal transfer. Finally we will discuss near-optimal approaches to minimizing sampling of target data (e.g. sampling Scottish speech)\, when one already has access to a given amount of source data (e.g. American speech). \n\nThis talk is based on some joint work with G. Martinet\, and ongoing work with S. Hanneke. \n\nShort-Bio: \nSamory Kpotufe is Associate Professor in Statistics at Columbia University. He works in machine learning\, with an emphasis on nonparametric methods and high dimensional statistics. Generally\, his interests are in understanding basic learning scenarios under practical constraints from modern application domains. He has previously held positions at the Max Planck Institute in Germany\, the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago\, and Princeton University.

During a 23-year career with the Clements\, Brian Dunnigan has served as curator of maps\, head of research and publications\, associate director\, and acting director. Daily contact with the collections has inspired reflections on some of the things that the Clements does very well\, driving his exhibit themes around active collecting\, conservation\, solving mysteries\, and more. \n\nDunnigan’s selections include poignant manuscripts\, striking visual imagery and cartography\, and some of his favorite materials from the collections\, drawing especially from his expertise in the mapping of the Great Lakes. This valedictory exhibit in the Clements’s soaring Avenir Foundation Reading Room dwells on seven areas of commitment and illustrates the concepts with some of the Library's most evocative and handsome holdings.

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:67261-16831196@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:20191013T180009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Women's Showcase Final DESCRIPTION:Showcase final event.  UID:66713-17064886@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66713 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:St. Mary's College of Maryland, St. Mary's City, MD CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190923T181719 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mentoring Plan Workshop DESCRIPTION:This workshop helps to enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor.

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:58562-14511285@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:63803-15884084@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:63627-15820756@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:20191004T181807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade.

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.

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.

Adler's Many Worlds\" DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 11th\, 3308 MLB\, 2-4pm\n\nH.G. Adler (1910 - 1988) lived at the center of his times and on their margin. A survivor of Theresienstadt\, Auschwitz\, and two other concentration camps\, he chronicled his experience and the loss of others in two dozen books of seminal history\, modernist fiction\, formally intricate poems\, and insightful essays. Yet\, despite close friendship with Leo Baeck\, Elias Canetti\, and Heinrich Böll\, he remained a writer's writer\, largely unknown and neglected. Thus\, unlike with better known figures\, the story of his life must be told through the times in which he lived\, as well as how the same lived through him. On the publication of H.G. Adler: A Life in Many Worlds\, biographer and translator Peter Filkins discusses the intersection of biography and history in shaping the story of Adler's life and work.\n\nPeter Filkins is an award-winning poet and translator. His authorized biography H.G. Adler: A Life in Many Worlds appears in 2019 from Oxford University Press\, and he has translated three novels by H.G. Adler\, Panorama\, The Journey\, and The Wall\, as well as the collected poems of Ingeborg Bachmann\, Darkness Spoken. The recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Leon Levy Center for Biography\, the DAAD\, and the American Academy in Berlin\, he is the Richard B. Fisher Professor of Literature at Bard College at Simon’s Rock\, and also teaches translation at Bard College.

Despite being incredibly adaptable and robust\, the human heart can experience a myriad of maladies leading to disruption and dysfunction. Core to cardiac physiology\, and pathophysiology\, is the efficient interaction between solid tissue and blood\, translating mechanical work into blood flow. Understanding this interaction\, principles of fluid mechanics\, turbulence and fluid-structure interaction provide a core foundation. From recent work on image-based estimation of pressure loss\, to analytic solutions and computational methods for fluid-structure interaction\, to multigrid-in-time\, this talk will explore some of the mathematical techniques useful for evaluating the behavior of blood and its impact on the heart.

I argue that this framing is misleading\, as moral disagreement is unlike peer disagreement in other epistemic domains\, owing to the special character of the moral domain. I defend the claim that disagreement with peers gives us reason to reduce confidence in disputed moral beliefs\, but not for epistemic reasons. Rather\, we have moral reason to do so. Reducing confidence in this way is morally required by recognition respect for the moral agency of the peer with whom we disagree.

Soon after an earthquake occurs anywhere on the globe\, the USGS produces a suite of products that characterize the shaking and the potential impacts to people and the built environment providing situational awareness to decision makers\, emergency management\, the media and the public. Much of this information is delivered through the EHP website that receives millions of visits in the hours after an earthquake making it one of the most heavily trafficked websites in the Federal Government. The USGS has also begun issuing warnings for the imminent arrival of strong ground shaking from earthquakes along the west coast of the US. The ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system promises to provide a tens of seconds for people and machines to take protective actions in order to reduce losses. The recent Ridgecrest\, California earthquake sequence  provided a key test of USGS systems and the ability to deliver information in today's technological and media environment. \n\nDr. Jonathan Godt is the Senior Science Advisor for Earthquake and Geologic Hazards and leads a federal effort dedicated to science and information delivery to reduce the risk from earthquakes and other geologic hazards. Dr. Godt joined the USGS as a student in the mid-1990s and in his career has been both a research scientist and a manager.

Tension in the Japan-South Korea Relationship and Implications for US Foreign Policy DESCRIPTION:Panelists: Celeste Arrington (George Washington University)\n Gi-Wook Shin (Stanford University)\n Yuki Tatsumi (Stimson Center)\n Dan Slater (University of Michigan)\n\nSponsor: Korea Foundation\n\nCosponsors: UM Center for Japanese Studies\, UM International Institute\, UM Nam Center for Korean Studies\n\nAbstract: \nThe relationship between Japan and South Korea has often been fraught with tensions reflecting their complicated history going back centuries. In the modern era\, Japan’s colonization of Korea and its legacy have marred the bilateral relationship despite their shared values as the two most advanced democracies in the region and their status as the most important allies of the U.S. in East Asia. In the last couple of years\, the tension has reached a boiling point as the two countries began to discard various agreements in trade\, security\, and other areas. Meanwhile\, the US government sat on the sidelines for the most part\, seeming to play a less proactive role than in the past. In the context of trade conflict with China\, nuclear developments in North Korea\, and growing assertiveness of Russia in the region\, further deterioration of Japan-South Korea relations would be detrimental not only to the two countries but also to the U.S. and other players in the Asia-Pacific region. In this panel discussion\, experts of the region will offer their views on the current tensions in the region and their implications for the regional politics and U.S. foreign policy.\n\nMission of the Korea Foundation:\nSince its inception in 1991\, The Korea Foundation aims to connect people to people and serve as a bridge between Korea and the global community through a diverse array of academic and cultural programs and activities.\nAs a lead public diplomacy institution of Korea\, the Korea Foundation has over the past two decades tried to explore timely avenues to reach out general public by organizing insightful lectures and intellectual events on regional as well as global issues that are the focus of public attention.

I am in conversation with strands of contemporary political theory (represented\, among others\, by Hardt and Negri\, Federici\, de Angelis\, Zizek\, and Bauwens) that posit a future organised around ‘the commons’. However\, while these writings are futuristic\, I suggest that they have an underpinning narrative of the transition from the ‘pre-capitalist commons’ to the ‘commons unmade through capitalism’\, which has implications for the political imaginaries outlined in their works. I challenge their orthodox account of this transition with drawing on writings on ‘postcolonial capitalism’\, including my own recent work.\n\nFor this seminar\, I offer two sections of the ‘historical’ part of the larger project: a discussion of the historiographical challenges in reconstructing ‘the pre-capitalist commons’ and the transitions it undergoes ‘under capitalism’ in relation to Kerala fisheries and Garhwali forests\, and the limits of the ‘commodity frontiers’ approach to narrate this process. Among other things\, the very nature of ‘rule’\, and the problems of establishing it in these ‘unruly’ spaces\, has a bearing on the sources – rather\, the lack thereof – on which an account of such a process can be reconstituted. Accounts are few\, and the reliability of some sources is uncertain\, for much of the period of early colonial conquest. And what accounts there are do not point to the transformation of fish or forest into ‘commodities’ until relatively recently. Nor are capitalist production relations visible in any meaningful sense. The conditions for fish and forests becoming ‘commodities’\, and for the emergence of capitalism in these sectors\, come from a number of scientific\, technological and other governmental innovations under late-colonial and early-postcolonial developmentalism. I conclude by identifying the implications of my account for radical political theory of the commons.\n\nSubir Sinha studied History at the University of Delhi (BA) and Political Science at Northwestern University (MS\, PhD)\, and has taught at Northwestern University and the University of Vermont. His research interests are institutional change\, sustainable development\, social movements\, state-society relations in development\, and South Asian politics\, with a current focus on decentralised development in India\, early postcolonial planning\, and on the global fishworkers' movement.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

They set in motion over 500 construction projects\, and trained over 300 Soviet designers\, technicians\, and draftsmen in American methods of design and implementation. During the very years in which architects from Detroit helped build Soviet factories\, in notable cases with prefabricated components imported from the US\, urban theories on linear city morphology as a fitting mode for industrialization blossomed in the USSR. English-language publications such as USSR in Construction featured compelling images of these monumental achievements\, depicting Soviet progress in culture as well as technology. “Soviet Detroit\,” as the industrial capital Nizhny-Novgorod would be called\, was only one of many America-inspired cities developed during the first Five-Year Plan\, which also included “Sibirsky Chicago” (Novosibirsk) and “Soviet Gary” (Magnitogorsk). \n\nBy the end of 1932\, most of the American experts had returned\, both to Detroit and to sites spread across the country. Over the four years of their stay\, American journalists had celebrated their work on a regular basis. As the US economy recovered from the Great Depression and moved inexorably toward war\, a small number of architects and engineers who participated in Soviet industrialization performed comparable tasks back in the United States. Linear urbanism grew up around American metropolises\, particularly in the Midwest\, in new communities such as Livonia\, Michigan\, strung alongside massive new factory complexes. The impact of Soviet urbanism on these communities remains to be assessed.\n\nMoscow x Detroit: Transnational Modernity in the Built Environment will bring together distinguished historians of art\, architecture\, urbanism\, and social history\, to consider a critical moment in twentieth-century history\, one that ramifies outward from the late 1920s to ripple through the later industrialization of the US and the USSR\, affecting culture and the built environment for decades after. Its focus will be transnational exchange in both directions (initially toward the USSR\, but also back to the USA)\, infrastructure development\, and the impact of built environments (factories\, housing\, green zones) on cities built to serve industry\, but surviving long after its evacuation. Participants\, including specialists in both the American and the Soviet situation\, will consider specific spatial questions\, as well as broader analyses of the hidden effects of the “second Industrial Revolution” on culture\, social organization\, and the built environment on two continents.\n\nOnly recently has the complex of industrial developments that unfolded between Moscow and Detroit begun to receive notice in architectural and urbanistic scholarship. Groundbreaking research has focused new attention on the larger ramifications of this massive transfer of knowledge in both directions. Looking further into these developments\, Moscow x Detroit is scheduled to coincide with the opening of an exhibition at The Canadian Centre for Architecture\, Amerikanizm: Russian Architecture in Search of a New New World\, that opens in Fall 2019 (curator: Jean-Louis Cohen). \n\nOrganizers:\nDepartment of the History of Art\, University of Michigan in coordination with The Canadian Centre for Architecture\, Montreal\n\nClaire Zimmerman\, University of Michigan\nChristina Crawford\, Emory University\nJean-Louis Cohen\, Institute of Fine Arts\, New York University UID:63808-15890344@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63808 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Detroit,Russia LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190912T001536 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T190000 SUMMARY:Performance:Out There: A Performance by art duo Princess DESCRIPTION:Out There (2019\; 4K video\, live performance\; 55:20) is a concept video album and live performance piece by the band Princess.

Participants\, including specialists in both the American and the Soviet situation\, will consider the hidden effects of the “second Industrial Revolution” on culture\, social organization\, and the built environment on two continents.Friday night's keynote at UMMA features Jean-Louis Cohen\, Sheldon H. Solow Professor in the History of Architecture at the NYU Institute of the Arts\, who will be discussing his paper: Americanized Bolshevism and its New New Worlds.\n\n UID:64153-16171642@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64153 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Culture,Detroit,Environment,History,Museum,Social,symposium,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191004T112329 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191011T210000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Fiction at Literati DESCRIPTION:Author and former director of the Helen Zell Writers' Program at The University of Michigan visits as part of our ongoing Fiction at Literati Series\, in support of her new novel The Professor of Immortality.

What made the Detroit Observatory a milestone for the University of Michigan and American higher education? How was the Observatory central to the growth of American astronomical science\, when did it lose that role\, and how did it get it back? And who were some of the people who made it all happen? Gary Krenz of the University’s Bentley Historical Library will explore these and other questions in this talk. In its 165-year history\, the Observatory has gone through many transformations\, and it is currently going through another—the construction of an addition to improve access\, education\, and programming. Krenz will also look at what that project entails and what lies ahead.\n\nThis event is in partnership with the Ann Arbor District Library.\n\nThis lecture launches a new lecture series on University of Michigan history\, sponsored by the Bentley Historical Library.

But because he was born in a Leap Year\, Frederic isn’t technically 21– and the Pirate King is still his master. Unless something gives\, Frederic will soon be on a collision course with the Pirate King’s new nemesis: Mabel’s father.\n\nThis updated version of the original D’Oyly Carte production marries the wit of British Music Hall and the American show-biz know-how of a combustive Broadway musical\; including dance\, visual gags\, and many well-loved songs such as “I am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General\,” “Poor Wand’ring One\,” and “A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One.” The Pirates of Penzance is the quintessence of silly\, a delightful excuse to indulge in the literate humor of Gilbert’s libretto\, the enchanting melodies of Arthur Sullivan’s score\, and the powerhouse talents of our Musical Theatre students.

As potential suitors come and go\, so do their hopes for true love. Full of gossip\, humor\, and heart-felt moments\, this classic story examines the effects of societal pressures on love and life. The play Sense and Sensibility premiered in 2014 at New York City’s Bedlam Theater Company\, returning for another\, longer run in 2016\, and was named The New York Times Critic’s Pick for both years. The New York Times calls Sense and Sensibility a “bouncy\, jaunty take on Austen…[that] remains remarkably true to the values and priorities of its source.” UID:63544-15784066@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63544 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Arthur Miller Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
