Halaloween: Siccin 4 DESCRIPTION:On October 15th\, 2019\, Siccin 4 will be the third film we screen from 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 15th\, 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 \n \nFilm Description: \nOctober 15: Siccin 4 (dir. Alper Mesci\; Turkey\, 2017): The fourth installment in the Turkish jinn possession franchise\, and the horror movie equivalent of sketch comedy. Don’t come to this movie for character development or thoughtful statements about Turkish politics or culture. For true horror fans\, it’s a treat. Body horror\, jump scares\, a Dark Shadows vibe with a Dario Argento aesthetic\, evil children and evil old people in a creepy\, fantastically decorated old house. In Turkish with English subtitles.

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:63992-16059376@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:20191014T143945 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191016T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191016T170000 SUMMARY:Other:International Pronouns Day DESCRIPTION:October 16th is International Pronouns Day and the Spectrum Center and University Library have teamed up to celebrate it!

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:66701-16770234@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:20191016T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191016T170000 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.

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:58562-14511289@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:63803-15884088@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:63627-15820760@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:20191016T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191016T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and 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. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image.

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.

Extraction and Equity: Indigenous Communities and Oil Companies in the Russian Arctic DESCRIPTION:What determines how oil companies interact with indigenous peoples and whether they share in the benefits of new oil and gas industry development? Do global rights and standards influence practices on the ground in authoritarian political regimes? Examining several cases in the Russian Arctic and sub-Arctic\, Henry considers how local communities navigate a complex political context in which global rules and standards that prioritize indigenous and environmental claims interact with domestic laws and institutions that tend to advantage industry. Research in Russian indigenous communities in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug\, the Komi Republic\, and on Sakhalin Island also illustrates how expectations based on practices from the Soviet era shape community’s ability to engage extractive industries in order to ensure their economic and social well-being. \n\nLaura A. Henry is a professor in the Department of Government and Legal Studies at Bowdoin College in Brunswick\, Maine. Her research investigates Russia’s post-Soviet transformation\, focusing on state society relations\, environmental politics\, extractive industries\, and the interaction of transnational and local actors. Henry’s current work compares how Russian NGOs engage in global governance institutions with their counterparts in China\, Brazil\, India\, and South Africa. Henry is the author of *Red to Green: Environmental Activism in Post-Soviet Russia* (Cornell University Press\, 2010) and the co-editor of *Russian Civil Society: A Critical Assessment* (M.E. Sharpe\, 2006). Her work has appeared in *Environmental Politics\, Global Environmental Politics\, Post-Soviet Affairs\, Europe-Asia Studies*\, and other journals. She has been a Watson Foundation fellow and a Fulbright Scholar. Her research has received support from the National Security Education Program\, the Social Science Research Council\, and the International Research and Exchange Board. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

However\, establishing this match requires a particular extremization over field theory parameters. This begs the question: what are the bulk dual geometries when we do not extremize in the field theory? In this talk\, I will show that these bulk duals are smooth Euclidean geometries with finitely-capped throats. These geometries generically have no clear interpretation in Lorentzian signature\, but when their throat becomes infinitely long they become black holes with an AdS2 near-horizon geometry. For any set of field theory parameters whose extremization is compatible with a black hole\, we find a large family of Euclidean geometries whose on-shell action reproduces the ABJM partition function exactly\, without the need to extremize\,thus establishing a more complete understanding of AdS4/CFT3 holography.

Crises of Care: Narrating Central American and Mexican Migration through Children and Families DESCRIPTION:By the time the Trump Administration's family separation policy took effect in 2018\, children had been a focus of news coverage of migration across the US border. Yet this journalistic attention has tended to reduce the complex factors behind the shifting demographics of migration\, often attributing it to gang violence. Using child-centered narratives from Central American and Mexico\, this talk will discuss how changes in labor markets have pushed many workers to new levels of precarity\, forcing them to create new relations within the family and altering the structures of migration. These stories reveal the \"crises of care\" and other forms of \"slow violence\" manifesting alongside those of politics\, economics\, and ecology in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. \n\nDr. Andersson is a recent graduate of U-M who returns to campus to present her work on Central American and Mexican migration as part of LACS' continuing series\, Central American Contexts.

In this talk\, I will cover two studies that underline this promise for the study of news producers and citizens.\n\nFirst\, focusing on the news media\, I will characterize the spread of fake news during the 2016 Presidential elections. Through the use of heterogenous data\, I will examine the interplay between news media production and consumption\, social media behavior\, and the information the electorate retained about the presidential candidates leading up to the election. Second\, turning to the citizens\, I will examine how individuals conform to community norms in political discussions. Past research identifies many processes that contribute to maintaining stable norms\, including self-selection\, pre-entry learning\, post-entry learning\, and retention. What is the relative importance of these processes? I will answer this question through an analysis of political subreddits on Reddit with stable and distinctive toxicity levels.

To explore these events\, it is necessary to obtain GPIs and GPI-anchored proteins in homogeneous and structurally well-defined forms\, which represents a great challenge. Our research program aims at establishing proper methods to access natural GPIs\, GPI-linked peptides/glycopeptides/proteins\, and related derivatives and applying them to the study of GPI biology. Accordingly\, a series of new chemical and chemoenzymatic strategies have been developed for GPI and GPI conjugate synthesis\, and the synthetic molecules have been used to investigate relevant biological problems\, such as GPI-cell membrane interactions\, GPI-bacterial toxin interactions\, and GPI-anchored proteomics analysis. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nZhongwu Guo (University of Florida) UID:65049-16509309@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65049 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chemistry Department CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200107T175709 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191016T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191016T160000 SUMMARY:Well-being:Walk-In Flu Shot Clinics DESCRIPTION:Walk-in flu shot clinics are for non-Michigan Medicine faculty and staff and U-M students.

DESCRIPTION:This course is based on the book titled Can Democracy Survive Global Capitalism?\, by Robert Kuttner (cofounder and coeditor of The American Prospect). The author observes that in the past few decades\, the wages of most workers have stagnated\, and downward mobility has produced political backlash. Kuttner argues that neither trade nor immigration nor technological change is responsible for the harm to workers’ prospects. Instead\, global capitalism is to blame. By limiting workers’ rights\, liberating bankers\, allowing corporations to evade taxation\, and preventing nations from assuring economic security\, raw capitalism strikes at the very foundation of a healthy democracy. The author charts a plan for bold action to make capitalism serve democracy\, based on political precedent. \n\nParticipants in this course for those 50 and over will read portions of the book in advance\, and bring related materials if available\, for discussion during class. The classes will meet Wednesdays from 2-4pm from October 16 through November 6. \n\nInstructor Karen Bantel has facilitated several courses for OLLI: World in Disarray\, Russia\, Autocracy\, Western Liberalism\, and TED talks. She was a professor and consultant of business strategy and entrepreneurship for many years.

Analysis of plasmas interacting with liquids is challenging due to the complex relations among the important chemical and physical processes. In addition to the various ways (e.g.\, AC\, DC\, pulsed\, RF\, MW) and geometries to generate a plasma contacting a liquid\, the formation of plasma at a gas-liquid interface also depends on the gas composition\, liquid properties (e.g.\, conductivity)\, and the nature of the molecular transport processes (e.g.\, hydrodynamics of two-phase flow\, energy transport\, and mass transfer) at the interface. To address these challenges and focus on the specific case of filamentary plasma channels propagating along a gas-liquid water interface\, we have constructed a gas-liquid plasma reactor that enables control of many of these variables. The plasma-liquid interactions have been characterized for chemical reactions including hydrogen peroxide formation\, oxidation of hydrocarbons\, combined plasma degradation of organic contaminants\, nitrogen oxide formation\, and hydroxyl radical generation. In this presentation\, we will discuss some of the key findings. Comparison will be made of OH generation by gas-water plasma reactors with competing methods such as UV\, radiation chemistry\, ultrasound\, and chemical oxidation methods.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Bruce R.

Furthermore\, it is apparent that somatic structural variants that affect how chromatin is organized in 3D can have a major impact on gene regulation and human disease. However\, such structural variants in the context of cancer genomes are abundant\, and predicting the consequence of any individual somatic mutation on 3D genome structure and gene expression is challenging. In addition\, we are severely limited with regard to tools that can be used to study 3D folding of the genome in vivo in actual human tumor or tissue samples. Our lab has developed several approaches to address these challenges. We have taken a pan-cancer approach to identify loci in the genome that are affected by structural variants that alter 3D genome structure\, and we have identified numerous loci with recurrent 3D genome altering mutations. We have also used genome engineering to create novel structural variants to better understand what types of mutations are actually capable of altering 3D genome structure and gene regulation. Finally\, we have also developed novel tools to study 3D genome structure in vivo in complex tissue samples. We believe that these approaches will be critical for improving our understanding of how non-coding sequence variants can affect 3D genome structure and gene regulation\, with the ultimate goal of understanding how these events affect human physiology.\n\n3:45 pm - Light Refreshments Served\n4:00 pm - Lecture UID:68138-17011980@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68138 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall, 4th Floor of Palmer Commons Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190909T103251 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191016T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191016T170000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Fall Birthday Celebrations DESCRIPTION:Blow the horn!

Bringing together Jewish women’s poetry in English\, Yiddish\, and Hebrew from late nineteenth century through the 1970s\, this talk will explore how Jewish women writers turned to poetry to write new histories. Developing “queer expectancy” as a conceptual tool for understanding how literary texts can both invoke and resist what came before\, Weiman-Kelman demonstrates how poets push back against heteronormative imperatives of biological reproduction and inheritance\, opting instead for connections that twist traditional models of gender and history. Looking backward in queer ways thus enables new histories to emerge\, intervenes in a troubled present\, and gives hope for unexpected futures.\n\nThe front entrance of Rackham\, located on East Washington\, is accessible by stairs and ramp.

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:63992-16059377@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:20191015T093952 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:IBM Career Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Career Day for IBM on Thursday\, October 17\, from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM and 2:00-4:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.\n\nIBM Research will also host a luncheon in Pierpont Commons for interested students.

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:66701-16770235@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:20191017T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T170000 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:67261-16831200@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:20191017T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T170000 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:58562-14511290@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:63803-15884089@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:63627-15820761@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:20191017T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade.

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. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\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. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.  UID:63837-15901125@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63837 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Irving Stenn, Jr. Family Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190620T121534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Walter Oltmann DESCRIPTION:Infant Skull II\, a woven “tapestry” made out of very fine aluminum wire\, only reveals its shape when seen from afar. 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.

But\, turbulent systems are not well understood. Rayleigh-Benard Convection is a more simplified system which captures some of the key features of turbulence\, including thermal plumes\, thin boundary layers and large-scale flow. In Rayleigh-Benard convection\, an enclosed fluid is bounded by horizontal parallel plates kept at a constant temperature difference. Results from numerical simulations of the equations which describe Rayleigh-Benard convection will be discussed and compared to experimental and theoretical results. These include flows in air and liquid metals in confined containers in addition to more horizontally extended systems.

Plasma chemical oxidation (PCO) can be used to extract organic carbon from inorganic carbon matrices to date rock paintings and to date fragile organic materials without destroying them\, allowing for repeated dating of the same sample with accelerator mass spectrometry. Chemical analysis with ambient ionization mass spectrometry and other methods can provide further information about such materials. Our current projects seek to determine the accuracy\, precision and minimum sample size that can be AMS dated with PCO sample preparation\, allowing us to gather more information from small and fragmentary objects that could not be dated otherwise.

I will highlight some of the specifically Japanese aspects: the underground dance and theater\, the student politics\, the protests against the Vietnam War\, the radical cinema. In many ways\, the counterculture was a rediscovery of Japanese traditions. After a century of Westernization and a rather fossilized high classical culture\, artists were going back to the erotic and often dark roots of pre-modern popular culture\, hence the title: Reeking of Mud. \n\nIan Buruma studied Chinese at Leyden University\, and cinema at Nihon University College of Arts\, in Tokyo. He lived in Japan from 1974 to 1980. He worked in Tokyo as a photographer\, filmmaker\, and journalist.

Climate\, Caravans\, and Historical Violence in Central America DESCRIPTION:Recent news coverage of Central American migrants routinely describes them as “climate refugees\,” fleeing lands where anthropogenic drought has made small farming impossible. Much of this reporting ignores or minimizes the extreme inequality of land distribution in Central America\, as well as the organized violence\, corruption\, and legal impunity that has maintained that inequality over generations. Rendering migrants as victims of climate change erases their past and their historical agency\, reducing them to helpless casualties of a disembodied “anthropocene.” And yet\, stories about Central Americans succumbing to climate change are not new. This lecture will show that deterministic climate narratives purporting to explain the poverty of the Central American countryside have their origins in the expansion of the US empire. In the early twentieth century\, North American scientists scouting for natural resources were baffled by the tropical landscapes of Central America\, some of which contained indigenous milpa fields alongside the ruins of an advanced civilization. Attempting to make sense of terrain which defied deeply held convictions about race\, climate\, and civilizational development\, these scientists created the concept of the “Maya Collapse” as we know it. The Maya Collapse erased a thousand years of Maya history\, including half a millennium of colonial domination\, and replaced it with a parable of nature’s power over man. Since its emergence among the disciplines of forestry\, agronomy\, and climatology\, the Maya Collapse has taken many forms\, but the fable at its core has proven remarkably durable\, even in the face of widely available contradictory evidence. Like the climate refugee stories of today\, the Maya Collapse redirected the gaze of outsiders away from the political violence and economic exploitation abetted by their own society. Human misery is attributed to nature’s wrath\, and to no one in particular. \n\nTony Andersson earned a PhD in Latin American history from New York University and held a postdoctoral fellowship with the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies in 2018-19. His talk\, part of the continuing LACS series Central American Contexts\, will examine historical connections between violence and climate refugees\, especially in Guatemala.

Illustrations from the collections of the Clements Library and other leading institutional archives provide a panoramic window on the early story of Americana appreciation\, collecting\, and description. Anyone with a professional or avocational interest in antiquarian Americana will find The Pioneer Americanists a treasury of information\, enlightenment\, and inspiration. Instructor J. Kevin Graffagnino has been director of the University of Michigan’s William L. Clements Library since 2008 and will be retiring after 11 years at the end of December.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nThe seminar will be followed by a reception in the IOE Commons (Room 1709) from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.\n\nTitle:\nStochastic Hierarchical Planning: A Win-Win Paradigm for Power System Operations\n\nAbstract:\nDriven by ambitious renewable portfolio standards\, variable energy resources (such as wind and solar) are expected to impose unprecedented levels of uncertainty to power system operations. The current practice of planning operations with deterministic optimization tools may be ill-suited for a future where uncertainty is abundant. To overcome the reliability challenges associated with the large-scale inclusion of renewable resources\, we present a stochastic hierarchical planning (SHP) framework. This framework captures operations at day-ahead\, short-term and hour-ahead timescales\, as well as the interactions between decisions and stochastic processes across these timescales. While stochastic counterparts of individual optimization problems (e.g.\, unit commitment\, economic dispatch etc.) have been studied previously\, this presentation is built around a comprehensive computational treatment of planning frameworks that are stitched together in a hierarchical setting. Computational experiments conducted with the NREL118 dataset reveal that\, relative to its deterministic counterpart\, the SHP framework significantly reduces unmet demand\, and can lead to substantial savings in costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Such a \"Win-Win\" paradigm is only possible through new approaches which combine OR and Data Science through Stochastic Programming.\n\nJoint work with S.

This presentation provides an overview of forms of extractive or “hungry” perception\, and alternatives to these that emerge from Indigenous sensory engagement. The range of such listening practices are necessarily multiple and dependent upon the specificities of Indigenous and settler epistemes at play\, it is nonetheless possible to discern historical patterns of “civilizing” the attention of Indigenous people\, and ongoing settler listening practices oriented toward the instrumentalization Indigenous knowledge. In contrast\, forms of Indigenous listening resurgence refuse the anthropocentrism of listening\, and instead proceed from intersubjective experience between listeners and song-life.\n\nDylan Robinson is a xwélméxw artist and writer (Stó:lō Nation\, Sqwa)\, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Arts at Queen’s University.

Throughout each of these processes\, the question of mate choice is crucially important. For example\, every instance of mating with oneself (self-fertilization or selfing) halves an individual’s genomic variation\, exposing rare recessive mutations. At the other end of the spectrum\, mating with another species may either reduce fitness via hybrid incompatibilities or introduce novel\, potentially adaptive\, genetic variation. I present my research\, which combines theory\, and data to investigate both the evolutionary implications of these mating decisions (e.g. their effects on the species range\, the nature of genetic variation\, genomic architecture etc) and when and how such traits can (or cannot) evolve.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/w7GGngxIysU UID:65473-16603599@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65473 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:20190219T101017 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hanes Walton Jr. Lecture DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker Dianne Pinderhughes (Notre Dame Presidential Faculty Fellow and Professor\, Department of Africana Studies and the Department of Political Science\, University of Notre Dame)\n\nReception follows the lecture in the ISR Atrium UID:61388-15097061@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61388 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Political Science LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190918T110200 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hanes Walton Jr. Lecture DESCRIPTION:Racial Dynamics in the American Context: A Second Century of Civil Rights and Protest?\n\nThis lecture will explore the factors shaping electoral and policy developments in the wake of late 20th century civil rights reform\, and the growing political incorporation of African Americans into electoral politics.  Drawing from a set of collected papers compiled for publication as Black Politics After the Civil Rights Revolution\, social and political scientists recognized the gradual increase in African American political participation\, the increasing numbers of elected officials of color\, and perhaps most remarkably\, the election in 2008 and 2012 of Barack Obama to the Presidency.  The unexpected election of Donald Trump in 2016\, posed a direct challenge to that framing of reaching the mountaintop and the evolution of successful racial reform. The lecture considers the possible alternative explanations for the Obama and Trump Presidencies in sequence\, and whether these changes in early 21st century politics reflect those in previous eras. \n\nThe Hanes Walton Jr. Lecture is sponsored by the Center for Political Studies\, Institute for Social Research and occurs in the autumn of odd-numbered years\, in honor of Hanes Walton\, Jr. UID:61398-15097072@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61398 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Politics,Social Sciences LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191007T111650 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:LSA Scholarships Info Session DESCRIPTION:Are you an LSA student looking for funding?

Membrane association of α-synuclein is associated with its biological function and implicated in pathogenesis. Upon membrane association\, α-synuclein adopts an α-helical structure\, whereas in solution\, the protein is disordered. In a disease state\, β-sheet rich\, amyloid fibrils of aggregated α-synuclein accumulate in the cytosol. In this work\, we aim to understand how amyloid formation is influenced by lipids and in turn\, how the protein aggregation process may lead to deleterious α-synuclein interactions with membranes. We are especially interested in the ability of α-synuclein to sense and generate membrane curvature\, which could have both functional and dysfunctional consequences. Building upon the fundamental understanding of α-synuclein–lipid interactions\, we are developing Raman microspectroscopy to study protein conformational dynamics and aggregation in cells. This powerful approach reports on protein secondary structural changes\, allowing us to identify whether the protein has adopted a β-sheet rich form\, indicative of amyloid structure\, as a function of its spatial location. In this talk\, I will present our latest results on (1) membrane fluidity and curvature sensing by α-synuclein\, (2) Raman spectroscopic characterization of α-synuclein amyloid formation\, and (3) cellular studies of α-synuclein. Through our work\, we are developing a chemical understanding in how specific biomolecular interactions and cellular environments modulate α-synuclein structure and aggregation propensity. \nJennifer Lee (NIH) UID:64839-16460976@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64839 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190930T131416 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T190000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:The Golden Door: Mapping Ellis Island & the History of Immigration in the US DESCRIPTION:Come and celebrate the storied history of Ellis Island with us on the anniversary of its closing.

How can listening be extractive\, a way to access and use Indigenous resources? What are alternative listening practices that connect listener and song-life rather than make a distinction between them? This presentation provides an overview of forms of extractive or “hungry” perception\, and alternatives to these that emerge from Indigenous sensory engagement. \n \nDylan Robinson is a xwélméxw artist and writer (Stó:lō Nation\, Sqwa)\, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Arts at Queen’s University. His current work focuses on the re-connection of Indigenous songs with communities who were prohibited by law to sing them as part of Canada’s Indian Act from 1882-1951. Robinson’s previous publications include the edited volumes Music and Modernity Among Indigenous Peoples of North America (2018)\; Arts of Engagement: Taking Aesthetic Action in and Beyond the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2016)\; and Opera Indigene (2011). His monograph\, Hungry Listening\, is forthcoming with Minnesota University Press in early 2020. Additionally\, Robinson is curator of the Ka’tarohkwi Festival of Indigenous Arts in Kingston\, and along with Candice Hopkins\, is curator of the internationally touring exhibition Soundings featuring “scores for decolonial action” by Indigenous artists.\n\nThis program is organized by the U-M Department of Native American Studies and co-sponsored by the Department of American Culture\, History of Art\, the Humanities Collaboratory\, Multi Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA)\, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).

Her practice\, Metabolic Studio\, explores self-sustaining and self-diversifying systems of exchange that feed emergent properties that regenerate the life web. Some of her works include: Not A Cornfield\, which transformed and revived an industrial brownfield in downtown Los Angeles into a thirty-two-acre cornfield for one agricultural cycle\; 100 Mules Walking the Los Angeles Aqueduct\, a 240-mile performative action that aimed to reconnect the city of Los Angeles with the source of its water for the centenary of the opening of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. Her studio’s current work\, Bending the River Back into the City\, aims to utilize Los Angeles’ first private water right to deliver 106-acre feet of water annually from the LA River to over 50 acres of land in the historic core of downtown LA. This model can be replicated to regenerate the 52-mile LA River\, reconnect it to its floodplain and form a citizens’ utility.\n\nCo-presented with the Community of Food\, Society and Justice Conference\, October 17-18. This conference will engage students\, faculty\, staff\, farmers\, and the community in rigorous dialogue around the challenges of meeting the nutritional needs of our communities\, while also protecting the planet\, promoting healthy lives\, and ensuring food justice.

She has been awarded fellowships and grants from Yaddo\, the MacDowell Colony\, Djerassi Foundation\, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts\, and Cave Canem Foundation. She has received commissions from the Studio Museum of Harlem and the Warhol Museum to create poetry in response to art installations. \n\nHer poetry has appeared in journals and anthologies including Poetry\, Callaloo\, jubilat\, Ploughshares\, VOLT\, and Best American Experimental Writing 2015. Her second book\, Master Suffering\, will be published by Tupelo Press in 2020. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

J. T. Mitchell.\n\nAs part of the Embodying Vision/Envisioning Embodiment Graduate Student Conference hosted by the German Department\, Professor W. J. T. Mitchell of the University of Chicago will give the keynote lecture. \n\nProfessor Mitchell is the Gaylord Donnelley Distinguished Service Professor in the Departments of English\, Art History\, and Visual Arts in addition to serving as Editor of Critical Inquiry. His research explores the relations of visual and verbal representations in culture and iconology\, and he has authored several foundational books on the history and theories of media\, visual art\, and literature\, from the eighteenth century to the present.\n\nOn Thursday\, October 17th at 5:30 pm\, Professor Mitchell will give his keynote lecture in Forum Hall. \"Present Tense: Time\, Madness\, and Democracy\" is an experimental engagement in philosophical reflections on time informed by current events. A first draft appeared just before the 2018 elections on the Critical Inquiry blog\, In the Moment. His lecture will provide an update of that draft\, while maintaining its methodological commitment to an iconology of time rather than an ontology of time\, asking not “What is time?” but rather \"How do we picture time?\" This lecture is inspired by Nietzsche’s observation that madness in individuals is rare and exceptional\, but in “groups\, parties\, nations\, and epochs\, it is the rule.” In arguing that we are living in an “epoch\,” a moment of historic uncertainty\, risk\, and transformation\, Professor Mitchell will ask the following questions: What is the “affective temporality” that characterizes this epoch? How do we feel about the times in which we live\, and how does that feeling congeal into images and iconic moments? \n Reception to follow.\n\nFriday\, October 18th @ 8 am - 5 pm (Forum Hall): Embodying Vision/Envisioning Embodiment Graduate Student Conference\n\nSaturday\, October 19th @ 8 am - 5 pm (Rackham East Hall): Embodying Vision/Envisioning Embodiment Graduate Student Conference UID:66812-16779003@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66812 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Rackham LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191030T132212 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191017T183000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:Star talks will examine the night sky with its slowly changing constellations\, bright planets\, and a short journey to visit far-away objects.\n\nThe new Planetarium & Dome Theater has comfortable seating for 57 visitors and space for up to 9 wheelchairs\, easy-access seats\, and a limited number of hearing assistance devices.

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!
