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:63627-15820764@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:20190905T120234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T112000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Science Forum Demo: Counting Cells DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for 15-20 minute engaging science demonstrations that will help you see the world around you in a whole new way. Demonstrations are appropriate for visitors ages 5 and above. \n\nThe human body is made of more than 37 trillion cells. Most of them need to be replaced every couple of months\, weeks\, or sometimes in the course of only a few days. Our cells grow and divide constantly to get this massive job done. But how do cells replicate themselves? How do things move in\, out\, and around the cell\, and into new cells? Join us as we explore how our bodies carry out this massive process. We will learn about cell structure and division and observe cells up-close and in action! Funded by the National Science Foundation.

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:58562-14511293@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:63803-15884092@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.

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:68063-16988399@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:20191020T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T170000 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.

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. 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.

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. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931448@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191007T121739 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Power Family Program for Inuit Art: Tillirnanngittuq​ DESCRIPTION:An exhibition celebrating the exceptional gift of 20th-century Inuit art to the Museum by the Power family\n \nTwo fascinating stories converge in one very special exhibition: One tracks the development and subsequent worldwide acclaim of contemporary Inuit art from the Canadian Arctic. 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.

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:63992-16059380@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:20190905T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T131500 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Scientist in the Forum DESCRIPTION:Check at the Welcome Desk for schedule. \n\nJoin a University of Michigan researcher in the Science Forum for a special peek into cutting-edge research.

The installation is organized around a very large photograph of a Baroque church by Candida Höfer. From this centerpiece\, the works of art are grouped in scenes or distinctive vignettes comprised of a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media. The reinstallation doesn’t adhere to either chronological or geographic boundaries. Curated by Vera Grant\, UMMA’s Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs\, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. Of this installation\, she says: “The exhibition recasts the role of the collection as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation. The arrangements remind us that works of art can change in meaning and affect when placed in new contexts.” Join an docent to explore and interpret this exciting new project.\n\n UID:64119-16163569@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64119 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190925T181528 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance DESCRIPTION:Young Frederic\, who has spent his formative years as a junior pirate\, plans to mark his 21st birthday by breaking free from the Pirate King and beginning his courtship of Mabel. 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.

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.

At the same time\, the nature and specificity of these associations remains unclear. I will present data establishing rapprochement between contemporary models of personality and psychopathology\, integrating empirically based\, hierarchically organized structural representations of both at phenotypic and etiologic levels. This work emphasizes the utility of broad higher-order factors (or spectra) of psychopathology (i.e.\, internalizing\, externalizing)\, but not necessarily the p-factor or individual diagnostic entities\, as valuable foci for targeting transdiagnostic mechanisms undergirding psychopathology.

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:66701-16770239@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:20190731T120334 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mindfullness-based Dementia Care DESCRIPTION:A free\, 7-week program designed for family caregivers of persons with dementia.

We theoretically show that even when agents are self-interested and perfectly rational\, the information externality induces an encouragement effect: a positive effect of first-player exploration on the optimality of the second-player exploring as well. When agents have other-regarding preferences and imperfectly optimize\, the encouragement effect is strongest. The explorative nature of the game raises the expected surplus compared to a payoff equivalent public goods game. We empirically confirm our main theoretical predictions using a novel experimental paradigm. Our findings are relevant for motivating and managing groups and teams innovating not only for private but also\, and especially so\, for public goods.

Growing up in impoverished contexts is associated with myriad psychosocial adversities\, all of which dramatically increase risk for psychopathology across the lifespan. One proposed mechanism by which environmental stress becomes biologically-embedded to predict maladaptive developmental outcomes is via alterations in brain function. In this practice job talk\, I will present my research program linking poverty and poverty-related adversities to corticolimbic function during socioemotional processing. Using harsh parenting and neighborhood disadvantage as examples\, I show that developmental timing is an important consideration for elucidating the effects of childhood adversity on corticolimbic development. Additionally\, in an application of the model of Differential Susceptibility\, I will highlight how amygdala reactivity during face processing may serve as a plasticity marker by moderating behavioral responses to socioeconomic resources.

In order to move forward\, we must understand the role of cultural and structural racism upon which these inequities are built. Cultural racism shapes our society's structure and ultimately shapes the answers to the questions: \"Whose life counts? Who is worthy of a healthy life?\" In this presentation\, Dr. Hicken will discuss the interwoven nature of both career trajectory\, as a former PSC predoctoral trainee\, and the development of her science on cultural and structural racism and health inequities. Specifically\, she will outline her theory on racism and health and describe her collaborative data project designed to empirically examine this theory.\n\nBIO:\nDr. Margaret Hicken is on faculty at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan where she serves as director of the UM RacismLab\, an interdisciplinary research collected designed to facilitate the career progression of scholar who study cultural and structural racism. She is also director of the Landscapes of Racism Dispossession and Control data project\, supported with funding from NIDDK\, NIMHD\, and NIA\, to examine the ways in which historical and contemporary forms of racial control have resulted in contemporary health inequities.\n\nPSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

The Reshaping of Persian after the Seventh-Century Arabian Conquest and Colonization DESCRIPTION:The 2019 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is \"Migration in the Islamicate World.\" \n \nThis presentation discusses the reshaping of the Persian language in the seventh and eighth centuries\, conditioned by the settlement patterns of the coalition of conquering Colonists (muhājirūn) from Arabia. Breakthroughs in contact linguistics combined with traditional historical linguistics and philology provide new insights into the demographic history of premodern populations and shed light on how the Persian language still used today first emerged. In this analysis\, modern narratives of Persian ethnic or national continuity with the ancient past give way to a history of discontinuity and colonial rupture. \n \nAbout the Speaker: \nKevin van Bladel is Professor of Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations at Yale University. He is the author of The Arabic Hermes (2009) and From Sasanian Mandaeans to Sabians of the Marshes (2017)\, as well as numerous articles on the languages and learned traditions of the classical Near East. \n \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.

Anger often occurs as a response to wrongdoing and seems to play an important role in the blaming and punishing of wrongdoers. As such\, it’s neither uncommon nor surprising for anger to be referred to as a moral emotion\, though what precisely is meant by the term “moral anger” is not always clear: does generic\, garden variety anger\, which is likely familiar to us from computer malfunctions or heavy traffic\, also show up in the moral domain\, perhaps as a morally appropriate\, fitting\, or epistemically reliable response to (certain features of) wrongdoing? Or is there a distinctive psychological state of moral anger that is differentiable from generic anger\, and from other emotion types? I defend the claim that there is a distinctively moral kind of anger. I argue that moral anger counts as distinctively moral primarily in virtue of its action tendencies\, which are typically triggered by perceived injustice against oneself or others and aim to satisfy two moral goals: a communicative goal\, and a retributive goal.

Namely the first observation of the Higgs boson decay to a pair of b-quarks\, which had eluded us for many years despite it is the most probable Higgs decay channel\; novel techniques to search for potential new physics using the hardonically decaying Higgs boson\, and a first search for singly produced long-lived neutral particle that may be realized via Higgs portal.

We develop a quasi-experimental approach to measure and characterize discrimination in the context of pretrial bail decisions. Race-specific average treatment effects (of pretrial release on subsequent misconduct) are used to purge omitted variables bias from conventional benchmarking regressions\, isolating legally-unwarranted release rate disparities among black and white defendants with the same potential for pretrial misconduct. Leveraging the quasi-random assignment of bail judges in New York City\, we find that approximately 70 percent of the average release rate disparity between observationally-equivalent white and black defendants is due to discrimination. Nearly all judges discriminate against black defendants\, with higher levels of discrimination among judges who are older\, more stringent\, and less exposed to black cases. To explore the form that this discrimination takes\, we develop and estimate a hierarchical marginal treatment effects model in which judges can differ in their rankings of defendant misconduct risk (in violation of the conventional monotonicity assumption). We find evidence of both racial bias and statistical discrimination\, with the latter arising from both lower mean risk and more precise risk signals for white defendants.\n\njoint with David Arnold and Will Dobbie UID:66761-16776774@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66761 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191105T123018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Just getting started building a resume?

Rodríguez Lecture DESCRIPTION:This talk will examine the politics of fantasy in relation to representations of Latino male sexuality in contemporary independent and queer cinema. Primarily focusing on Miguel Arteta’s 1997 film Star Maps\, the talk reads the film as a critique of Hollywood’s racially exclusive practices while illustrating how fantasy helps make sense of protagonist Carlos’s American dream of becoming an esteemed film and television star who also finds himself ruled by the sexual desires and labor demands of others.\n\nRichard T. Rodríguez is associate professor of Media & Cultural Studies at the University of California\, Riverside. He specializes in Latina/o literary and cultural studies\, film and visual culture\, and queer studies with additional interests in transnational cultural studies\, popular music studies\, and comparative ethnic studies.

These digenetic hemoflagellates belong to Kinetoplastea\, a taxonomic class distinguished by possession of a kinetoplast. This nucleoprotein body contains mitochondrial DNA of two kinds: ~25 maxicircles (each ~23kb) encoding ribosomal RNAs\, two guide RNA (gRNAs)\, ribosomal proteins and subunits of respiratory complexes\, and approximately 5000 of ~1kb minicircles bearing the majority of gRNA genes. Relaxed maxicircles and minicircles are interlinked and packed into a dense disc-shaped network by association with histone-like proteins. Both maxicircle and minicircle genomes are transcribed by a phage-like RNA polymerase from multiple promoters into 3′-extended precursors which undergo 3′-5′ exonucleolytic trimming. To function in mitochondrial translation\, pre-mRNAs must further proceed through 3′ adenylation\, and often gRNA-directed uridine insertion/deletion editing\, and 3′ A/U-tailing. Ribosomal and guide RNAs are typically 3′ uridylated. Historically\, the fascinating phenomenon of RNA editing has attracted major research efforts\, but more recent developments provided insights into pre- and post-edited processing events and identified key players in transforming primary precursors into functional RNAs and regulating their turnover. I will present a forward-looking model that integrates known modalities of mitochondrial RNA metabolism.

DESCRIPTION:Who was Agrippina\, what did she do and how was she constrained\, and what belonged to her? To write a biography of Agrippina the Younger presents a Roman historian with significant challenges\, including the limited number of primary sources\, even for this most notorious Roman woman\; authors’ clear biases against a woman aiming for power and “sex positive”\; and the versions of Agrippina created through time. Just as important are point-of-view and ultimate aim. Carandini assumes the first-person voice in his Io\, Agrippina\, but the personal voice is at odds with his book’s emphasis on spatial and historical contingency as a way to understand Agrippina. Barrett’s account in Agrippina: Sex\, Power\, and Politics in the Early Empire offers a thick description of facts relating to her\, illuminating the times in which Agrippina lived but doing little to make her come alive. My illustrated lecture covers such issues as well as some important insights gained from investigating a woman who was remarkable for many reasons\, not the least of which is the legacy constructed for her by others.

I show how the manuscript lyric anthologies known as *chansonniers *participate in the name games that are an integral part of troubadour lyric poetics. While names in manuscripts can be important evidence\, they do not correspond neatly to modern notions of the author as an individual with a fixed historical identity. By shifting the focus of inquiry to manuscript attributions\, and particularly to female author attributions\, I demonstrate the complexity of medieval understandings of lyric authorship. I challenge especially certain modern (and often gendered) assumptions about the authorship of troubadour songs\, and critique those book historical methods that can reinforce such assumptions. My conclusions are grounded in a new approach to troubadour manuscripts of the 13th and 14th centuries\, but the central issues of textual stability and authorial identity that I address are significant more broadly to both medievalists and modernists. My approach\, elaborated in my larger book project\, makes possible new ways of understanding the authorship of troubadour song.\n\nCo-sponsored by Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, Forum on Research in Medieval Studies\, Department of Musicology\, and the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts UID:66604-16767944@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66604 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Lecture,Music,Romance Languages LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - RLL Commons Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191021T114241 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T180000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Cancelled-Info Session: James C Gaither Junior Fellows Program DESCRIPTION:Event cancelled.

Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059382@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:20191022T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T180000 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.

At that time there were approximately 500\,000 Jews in Germany and approximately 180\,000 Jews in Austria. They were loyal to their country\, were part of the government\, and fought for Germany in World War 1. Hitler had a plan to annihilate the world’s Jews. Jews were stripped of their citizenship\, their property taken over and their means of a livelihood destroyed. Jews were given an X amount of time to find a country that would take them\, otherwise they would be thrown into concentration camps. Aside from the Dominican Republic\, Shanghai was the only place that remained open to these refugees without requiring a visa. Approximately 20\,000 German\, Austrian and Polish Jews were able to make the trip.\n\nBerl Falbaum\, is a former political reporter for the Detroit News. His family was among those that made the journey. In his presentation\, for those 50 and over\, Mr. Falbaum will describe his family’s experiences and those of other Jews. He has compiled and edited a book “Shanghai Remembered: Stories of Jews Who Escaped to Shanghai from Nazi Germany”. \n\nThis is the second in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2019-20. A total of ten lectures are presented covering a variety of topics. Lectures are held on Tuesday mornings once each month. The next lecture will be held November 12\, 2019.

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:66701-16770240@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:20190920T130853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.

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:67261-16831203@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:20191022T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T170000 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:58562-15002289@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:63803-15884093@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:63627-15820765@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:20191022T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T170000 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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

Biofilms that form in nature typically feature different taxa\, species\, and multiple strains of the same species. These cells compete for nutrients and space. Due to the broad prevalence of biofilms\, bacteria have evolved various competitive strategies\, many of which are antagonistic. This includes a number of complex toxin delivery systems\, which kill competitors but not kin. Because biofilms are densely packed\, cell death and reproduction hold emergent mechanical consequences. When a cell dies and lyses\, the biofilm may partially ‘cave-in\;’ when a cell reproduces\, it pushes other cells out of its way. This deadly competition creates a feedback loop. Death and reproduction modify biofilm structure\; structural changes impact subsequent death and reproduction. In this talk\, I will explore the intertwined relationship between intercellular killing and biofilm materials properties\, explaining both the new physics that arises and its biological impact.

Practices that become popular based on promising case studies are especially susceptible to evidence reversal. Medical reversal occurs when a procedure that is common in clinical practice is shown to be ineffective or even harmful. Failure to quickly abandon reversed practices dampens productivity in the medical sector and results in wasteful spending. I present preliminary evidence about the speed of de-adoption\, using the procedures of vertebroplasy and percutaneous coronary interventions as case studies.\n\nMarlous will be presenting The Great Convergence: Skill Accumulation and Mass Education in Africa and Asia\, 1870-2010.\n\nAbstract: While human capital has gained prominence in new vintages of growth theory\, economists have struggled to find the positive externalities of mass education in developing economies. We shed new light on the economic significance of the global ‘schooling revolution’ by looking at a different indicator of human capital accumulation – the relative price of skilled labor – and placing it in a long-term global perspective. Based on a new wage dataset we constructed for various blue- and white-collar occupations in 50 African and Asian countries between 1870-2010\, we reveal that skill-premiums have fallen dramatically everywhere in the course of the 20th century\, and that they have now converged with levels that dominated in the West already for centuries. While such a ‘great convergence’ in skill-premiums is not a sufficient condition for Schumpeterian growth by itself\, the growing availability of affordable skills is a necessary condition. Our findings therefore shed a more optimistic light on the long-term economic gains of mass education in the global South than standard growth regressions have hitherto done.

The resulting decay of these traits under relaxed selection reduces an organism’s fitness in its prior environment. However\, how these traits subsequently evolve upon restoration of selection is not well-understood. We addressed this question using Escherichia coli strains from the long-term evolution experiment (LTEE) that have been independently evolving for multiple decades in the absence of antibiotics. We confirmed that these derived strains have typically become more sensitive to various antibiotics during this time. We then asked how readily the bacteria could overcome these losses of intrinsic resistance through subsequent evolution when challenged with these same drugs. In our study\, we focused on the role that genetic background plays in this process\, with attention to the tension between evolutionary repeatability and contingency. We found that idiosyncratic responses in evolvability dominated over trends of diminishing returns\, such that the potential to evolve increased resistance was hampered on some derived genetic backgrounds. We further subjected a time-series of clones from one LTEE population to tetracycline and showed that evolutionary constraint occurred early in its history. Taken together\, our results indicate that the evolution and diversification of a single species in an antibiotic-free environment can render resistance evolution unpredictable\, even for closely related strains. Current work is now centered on characterizing the genomic changes underlying resistance to address whether the same genes are the focus of selection when strains have evolved for decades in the absence of antibiotics.

This talk will examine the Romantic legacies of “freestyling” and politically engaged lyrics as they are referenced and performed in the work of Polish hip-hop artist Peja and his group Slums Attack. Capitalizing on the resonance between national and genre ideals of authenticity and speaking to and for marginalized communities\, Peja positions himself as heir to the Romantic poets whose work has shaped ideas of Polishness for two hundred years. In so doing\, he performs a vision a Poland that remains defined by its national past\, even as it embraces a modern global music.

This exercise aims to obtain estimates at fine resolutions\, so that exposure data may reliably be related to health outcomes. In this setting\, substantial research efforts have been dedicated to the development of statistical models capable of integrating heterogenous information to obtain accurate prediction: statistical downscaling models\, land use regression\, as well as machine learning strategies. However\, when presented with the tasks of choosing between models\, or averaging models\, we find that our understanding of model performance in the absence of independent statistical replications remains insufficient. This lecture is motivated by several studies of air pollution (PM 2.5 and ground-level ozone) during wildfires. We review the basis for cross validation as a strategy for the estimation of the expected prediction error. As these performance measure play a crucial role in model selection and averaging we present a formal characterization of the estimands targeted by different data subsetting strategies\, and explore their performance in engineered data settings. A final analysis and a warning about preference inversion is presented in relation to the a 2008 wildfire event in Northern California.\n\nBIO: \nDr. Telesca is Associate Professor of Biostatistics at the University of California Los Angeles.

To this end\, we are mining large antibody libraries to identify antibodies that can target and act as artificial substrates for endogenous receptor-mediated BBB nutrient transport systems and ferry drug cargo into the brain. In addition\, the BBB can be disrupted in certain disease conditions such as brain tumors. For these applications\, we are identifying antibodies capable of targeting brain extracellular matrix to leverage this pathological BBB disruption for drug accumulation.   After conjugation to drug payloads that can include small molecules or biologics\, we have demonstrated that both classes of antibodies have the potential to deliver medicines to the brain.

But there is no consensus on what it would mean to actually solve this problem. In this colloquium\, I propose that turbulence is most fruitfully regarded as a problem in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics\, and will show that this perspective explains turbulent drag behavior measured over 80 years\, and makes predictions that have been experimentally tested in 2D turbulent soap films. I will also explain how this perspective is useful in understanding the laminar-turbulence transition\, establishing it as a non-equilibrium phase transition whose critical behavior has been predicted and tested experimentally. This work connects transitional turbulence with statistical mechanics and renormalization group theory\, high energy hadron scattering\, the statistics of extreme events\, and even population biology.\n\n___________\nTo get to the research auditorium\, enter via Building 18 Visitors entrance\, show ID\, up stairs to the right (the big granite egg) UID:68414-17080052@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68414 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,chemical engineering,Complex Systems,Interdisciplinary,Natural Sciences,Research,Turbulence LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 10 - Research Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200107T175709 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T190000 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.

Writing Western Nicaragua's Colonial and Post-Colonial LGBTQ Histories DESCRIPTION:Dr. González-Rivera's research on western Nicaragua's pre-1979 LGBTQ histories reveals a complex story. She documents a long-standing Indigenous “transgender” tradition in open-air markets\, which rests on pre-colonial economic opportunities for women in tiangues and Nicaragua’s unique association between commerce and femininity. Dr. González-Rivera further contends that contemporary Nicaraguan negative attitudes towards trans women\, while less prevalent than in other parts of the world\, do exist and are highly steeped in racism and classism due to the association made between trans women and indigeneity. This project thus concludes that working-class women’s continuous economic participation in Nicaragua is a symbol of indigenous resistance to colonialism as is the continued existence of trans women. This presentation also documents the invention of indigenous sodomy in Nicaragua and the ways in which the Spanish contributed to the creation of the contemporary Nicaraguan “cochon\,” the term used in the last hundred years to refer to presumably “passive” [“feminine”] male partners in same sex relations between men.\n\nCo-sponsors: Department of History\; Rackham Graduate School\; Colonialism\, Race\, and Sexualities Initiative (CRSI) in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG)\; Women's Studies\; Institute for the Humanities UID:67275-16831241@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67275 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Lacs Central American Contexts Series,Latin America,LGBT,Multicultural,Social,Social Justice LOCATION:Tisch Hall - Room 1014 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191018T091510 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T180000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Pizza with Professors DESCRIPTION:Join faculty\, graduate students\, and fellow students for pizza and conversation!

Stamps School of Art & Design and the Department of Art History.\n\nSince North Korea has been closed off from the world for more than seven decades and has been considered a pariah state\, when art from the DPRK trickled out to the world through small exhibitions and auctions\, most of those who evaluated the works were already inclined to judge them with preconceptions.\n \nThis talk by Professor BG Muhn will explore these outside perspectives on North Korean art\, specifically focusing on perceptions of chosonhwa\, the North Korean name for Oriental ink wash painting. We are familiar with the concepts of “art for art’s sake\,” “free expression\,” and “art created in accordance with an artist’s unconstrained free will.” Considering the context of the DPRK\, many people ask: Can art in a true sense exist in a socialist state? Professor Muhn will address the complexities embedded in the answer to this and other questions about North Korean art.\n \nA professor in the Department of Art and Art History at Georgetown University\, BG Muhn is also an accomplished painter who has achieved substantial and noteworthy professional recognition through solo exhibitions in venues such as Stux Gallery in the Chelsea district of New York City\, Ilmin Museum of Art in Seoul and the American University Museum in Washington\, DC. Muhn has received several awards for his artistic merits\, including the Maryland State Arts Council’s Individual Artist Award and Best in Show at the Bethesda Painting Awards competition. His artwork has been collected in museums and galleries\, which include the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in South Korea. He also has received acclaim in reviews in \"The New York Times\,\" \"The Washington Post\,\" and \"Art in America.\"\n \nIn addition to actively showing his artworks\, Muhn has taken a strong interest in and researched the relatively unknown field of North Korean art\, particularly chosonhwa or ink wash painting on mulberry paper. He made numerous research trips to Pyongyang\, North Korea\, over the last six years and visited art institutions such as the Choson National Art Museum\, the Mansudae Art Studio and the Pyongyang University of Fine Arts. His research is comprised of reviewing a prodigious amount of North Korean artwork in person and interviewing artists\, art historians\, museum staff\, faculty and students. Based on his work\, he has delivered lectures on North Korean art at academic venues and cultural centers including Columbia\, Harvard\, Johns Hopkins\, Georgetown and Ohio State universities\; the Watermill Center in Long Island\; the Korea Society in New York\; and the Wilson Center in Washington\, DC.\n \nHis research on North Korean art culminated in the book\, \"North Korean Art: The Enigmatic World of Chosonhwa\" (to be released in the fall of 2019)\, which was first published as \"Pyongyang misul: chosonhwa neonun nugunya\" in Korean by Seoul Selection in the spring of 2018.\n \nProfessor Muhn has curated two major North Korean art exhibitions\, one at the American University Museum in Washington\, DC\, in 2016 and the other at the Gwangju Biennale in 2018. The catalogue \"North Korean Art: Paradoxical Realism\" was published in English in conjunction with the Gwangju Biennale.

People with social anxiety often worry about seeming incompetent\, unintelligent\, or awkward in social situations. Symptoms like heart pounding\, shaking\, sweating\, dry mouth\, or “blanking out” are common symptoms. People with social anxiety may continue to worry about how they came across to others long after the event is over. This group can help you build skills to counter the effects.\n\nIf you think social anxiety is negatively affecting your relationships\, your work\, or your overall mental health\, this group might be the next step for you. Clinicians at the Psychological Clinic use evidence-based group therapy to help participants learn to identify and shift unhealthy thinking patterns. You will build coping skills and increase confidence in a supportive environment and at your own pace. The group will meet on Tuesdays\, beginning October 15\, 2019\, for eight weeks\, with an additional follow-up booster session a month after the program’s conclusion.\n\n\nIf you think this group is the right fit for you\, call the Psych Clinic at (734) 764-3471 to schedule an individual\, preliminary screening. This screening will take 30-60 minutes. Some insurance is accepted to cover the cost. Without insurance the screening cost is $20. This screening allows you to work with a clinician to determine if the group is right for you.\n\nPlease send referrals by faxing a brief treatment summary or evaluation report to the Psychological Clinic\, attention Michelle Van Etten Lee\, Ph.D. The fax number is (734) 764-8128.

The occasion they cite for the publication of this project is the 400th anniversary of the arrival of 20 African slaves at Port Comfort\, Virginia.\n\nThe Times project raises the question: Is race the driving force of history\, as the Times insists? Or\, as Karl Marx analyzed\, is it class? Is “anti-black racism … in the very DNA of this country” as the Times writes? Or is the history of the United States fundamentally the history of class struggle? As social inequality reaches record levels\, is America heading toward race war or socialist revolution?\n\nThe promotion of the 1619 Project takes place under conditions of expanding class struggle internationally and a growing interest in socialism among workers and youth in the United States. Its aim is to block the development of a united movement of workers across all races by cultivating racial divisions.\n\nThese meetings will refute the historical falsifications advanced in the 1619 Project\, explain their underlying political motivations and present the strategy for socialist revolution in America today.

Pretzer\, Senior Curator of History\, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture  \n \nThe Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture opened on the National Mall in Washington\, DC\, in September 2016.  More than six million individuals have visited the museum in its first three years of operation. \n \nThe Presidential Commission created in 2001 directed the museum to “give voice to the centrality of the African American experience and make it possible for all people to understand the depth\, complexity\, and promise of the American experience.”  \n \nFrom the beginning\, Founding Director Lonnie G. Bunch III and his staff heeded the exhortation of historian John Hope Franklin\, chair of the museum’s Scholarly Advisory Committee\, “to tell the unvarnished truth.” That principle energized an exhibition plan informed by public conversations\, a collecting program relying on individual and family legacies\, a narrative format balancing the personal with the social\, and a funding strategy emphasizing the “African American experience as the lens through which we understand what it is to be American.”\n \nThis presentation demonstrates the impact of these foundational principles and strategies through an illustrated tour of the inaugural exhibitions.\n\nThis program is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

To commemorate the occasion\, Arlo has arranged a special tour\, running through 2020\, to revisit the incredible events that began on Thanksgiving in 1965. \"Alice’s Restaurant Massacree\" struck a chord with the anti-war counterculture. By 1967 Guthrie had gone from playing small clubs to playing festivals and stadiums. :Arthur Penn (who had just finished filming Bonnie & Clyde) heard the record when it came out in 1967\,\" recalled Arlo. \"He also happened to live in Stockbridge\, where the events took place. He thought it would be a great idea to make it into a movie. And he did.\" For this tour\, Arlo will be joined on stage by longtime collaborators Terry “A La Berry” Hall (drums)\, Steve Ide (guitar\, vocals)\, and Carol Ide (vocals\, percussion). \"I didn’t think I was gonna live long enough to have to learn ‘Alice's Restaurant' again\,\" Arlo says with a smile. \"It was a quirky kinda thing UID:68200-17026805@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68200 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191011T181526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Orpheus Singers DESCRIPTION:Graduate Student Conductors\nEugene Rogers\, music director\nScott Van Ornum\, pianist\n\nPre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM\n\nPROGRAM: \nBrahms- Drei Quartette\, op. 31\nHawley- from \"Six Madrigals\" I.

Halaloween: Dachra DESCRIPTION:On October 22nd\, 2019\, Dachra will be the fourth film 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 22nd\, 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.

College students seek out a legendary lost village while filming a documentary for a class project.

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.
