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:63992-16059383@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:20191023T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

The exhibition also includes nearly 100 I.D. photos of migrant children from a Texas holding center. Buentello took the photos in 2014 while working for an intake agency.\n\n\"Focusing on images from the US media sources that exposed the violence of migrants’ dehumanization\, vulnerability\, fear\, loss\, and criminalization\, the paintings document the embodiment of state-authorized brutality and erasures of personhood.\" -Ruth Leonela Buentello\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

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:66701-16770241@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:20191023T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T163000 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. Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N.

In contrast with conventional “testimony” models--2 or 3 hours in front of a video camera--the instructor spoke with the same survivors over months\, years\, and - with a few people - even decades. The course also emphasizes listening attentively and in depth. That approach often yields surprising insights not otherwise attainable.\n\nCore topics include: (1) The psychological impacts of sustained hate\; in this case\, antisemitism\; (2) What does “trauma” mean and how is it related to other agonies survivors suffer (loss\, abandonment\, humiliation\, stigma\, etc.)? (3) How does the experience of survivors challenge conventional psychological assumptions about both injury and resilience? (4) How do listener expectations and capacities - actual and perceived - impact whether\, when\, and how survivors retell their memories? (5) What does it mean to be able to “listen” to someone who has gone through such experiences - and what is and isn’t the potential impact on listeners? (6) In what ways can it be informing to juxtapose Holocaust survivors’ experiences\, in the aftermath\, with the experiences of others who’ve gone through hells - especially other genocide survivors\, survivors of rape and assault\, and survivors of life-threatening illness (especially cancer)? (7) What will actually change when there are no living Holocaust survivors (not as obvious as it may seem)? \n\nSessions will be held on Wednesdays from 10am-12pm from October 23 through December 11 (no class on November 27). Instructor Hank Greenspan is a psychologist\, oral historian\, and playwright who has been interviewing\, writing about\, and teaching about Holocaust survivors since the 1970s\, now almost fifty years.

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:67261-16831204@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:20191023T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T170000 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:58562-15002290@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:63803-15884094@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:63627-15820766@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:20191023T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer.

Stop by during Jamaica's office hours! Jamaica Jordan is a senior\, Pre-Medicine student with a major in Gender & Health. Jamaica grew up in Detroit and attended Detroit Public Schools. Jamaica’s favorite activities are to watch movies and travel. Working for Semester in Detroit for the past 2 years has helped her grow in leadership\, team building\, communication\, and utilizing university resources. After interning at Eastern Market Corporation through Semester in Detroit\, summer 2017\, she was given the opportunity to continue working for Eastern Market the following summer\, working in the Market’s Nutrition Educational programs. In Jamaica’s previous three years at the university she has continued to be lifted by her mentors and values the work of mentorship\, this has lead her to accept a position with the Office of Multicultural Initiatives as an Academic Success Partner mentoring freshmen and sophomore students. The past three years at the University and the past 2 years at Semester in Detroit has continued to bring blessings of new and challenging experiences.

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.

Hydrodynamics is the universal effective description of transport in the long distance\, late time regime. We can gain insight into the process of thermalization from the time evolution of entanglement entropy\, for which I introduce an effective theory valid in the hydrodynamic regime. I derive this theory in the special case of holographic gauge theories\, and present strong evidence for its validity in any chaotic system. I discuss the interplay between this effective theory and chaotic operator growth that is responsible for the butterfly effect\, and present new general results on the Lyapunov exponent characterizing this phenomenon. I conclude with some exciting implications for quantum gravity through gauge/gravity duality.

I propose that extreme behaviors may be perceived as particularly instrumental to certain goals because of their potential negative consequences. This possibility is suggested by the principle of counterfinality whereby\, a means is perceived as particularly instrumental to one’s goals to the extent to which it is detrimental to alternative goals. In line with this notion\, we show that: 1) extreme behavior is more likely when its negative consequences are salient\; 2) people who are more concerned with finding the “best” means to fulfill their goals (i.e. people high in a regulatory mode characterized by assessment) are more likely to engage in extreme behavior to fulfill relevant goals\; 3) accessbility of relevant goals increases the likelihood of engagement in extreme behaviors by increasing their perceived riskiness and therefore their perceived instrumentality.

Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) formulations are commonly used to predict fluid flows due to their robustness and their relatively low computational cost in comparison to higher fidelity models such as Large Eddy Simulation (LES). However\, because of the various approximations at the basis of RANS turbulent models\, validation for the specific applications need to be carried out to assess the models’ capabilities to predict a given phenomenon of interest.\nThe primary goal of this thesis is to develop a high-resolution high-fidelity experimental database for the development and improvement of CFD codes\, and to gain physical insight into complex phenomena relevant to nuclear power applications. Two applications of interest are addressed: a) mixing and interaction of multiple jets in a uniform environment\, and b) propagation of stratified fronts in presence of positive and negative density gradients. When assessing the performance of CFD models\, it is important to determine whether\, for the specific phenomenon of interest\, the CFD predictions would lead to a conservative or non-conservative result. For example\, in the case of a PWR Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) accident\, an over-estimation of thermal stratification would lead to non-conservative results\, since the resulting core reactivity insertion will be under-estimated.\nHigh-resolution data collected from two experimental facilities designed and built to address jets interactions and propagation of stratified fronts will be discussed\, together with CFD validation results.

The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\n\nThe workshop will run from October 16 to December 18\, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00\, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.\n\nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll UID:66521-16744961@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Career,English As A Second Language,Graduate,International,Language,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Workshop LOCATION:V.

Design signatures can differ across levels of expertise of the designer(s) in significant ways. These representations have been shown to be effective for teaching undergraduate engineers about the complexities of design processes. \n\nIn this talk\, I will review the research findings from an analysis of verbal protocols from 177 individuals with a wide range of expertise (from beginning undergrads through expert professionals in industry) who solved 401 separate design problems. We found that individuals with more expertise 1) use processes that demonstrate a higher level of complexity\, 2) consider a broader set of information and objects during their design process\, 3) spend longer solving the problem they were given\, and 4) are more likely to demonstrate a cascade pattern in their tracing across design activities. I will also discuss several teaching activities that are derived from the research.

While the past is often privileged in discussions of language revitalization as an anchor of authenticity and cultural continuity\, present day language use in revitalization contexts also utilizes comics\, gaming\, memes\, and other creative and technological domains that position Native American languages as always simultaneously ‘once and future\,’ quondam and futurus. In this talk\, I consider the role of these Indigenous linguistic and cultural temporalities in understanding Indigenous language activism with particular interest in linguistic futurisms\, or the imagining of Indigenous languages in Indigenous perspectives of the future.\n\nJenny L.

To unravel regulatory programs behind these changes\, we profiled peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from young and old individuals (n=77) using ATAC-seq and RNA-seq technologies and analyzed these data via systems immunology tools. First\, we described an epigenomic signature of immune system aging\, with simultaneous systematic chromatin closing at promoters and enhancers associated with T cell signaling. This signature was primarily borne by memory CD8+ T cells\, which exhibited an aging-related loss in IL7R activity and IL7 responsiveness. More recently to uncover the impact of sex on immune system aging\, we studied PBMCs from 194 healthy adults (100 women\, 94 men) ranging from 22-93 years old using ATAC-seq\, RNA-seq\, and flow cytometry technologies. These data revealed a shared epigenomic signature of aging between sexes composed of declines in naïve T cell functions and increases in monocyte and cytotoxic cell functions. Despite similarities\, these changes were greater in magnitude in men. Additionally\, we uncovered male-specific decreases in expression/accessibility of B-cell associated loci. Trajectory analyses revealed that age-related epigenomic changes were more abrupt at two timepoints in the human lifespan. The first timepoint was similar between sexes in terms of timing (early forties) and magnitude. In contrast\, the latter timepoint was earlier (~5 years) and more pronounced in men (mid-sixties versus late-sixties). Unexpectedly\, differences between men and women PBMCs increased with aging\, with men having higher monocyte and pro-inflammatory activity and lower B/T cell activity compared to women after 65 years of age. Our study uncovered which immune cell functions and molecules are differentially affected with age between sexes\, including the differences in timing and magnitude of changes\, which is an important step towards precision medicine in older adults.\n\n3:45 pm - Light refreshments served\n4:00 pm - Lecture UID:68168-17020453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68168 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: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191023T181549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Development of metal-oxide clusters as charge-carriers for nonaqueous redox-flow batteries DESCRIPTION:Effective integration of renewable energy from intermittent sources (i.e. solar and wind) requires the development of efficient energy storage systems which can function in tandem with the electrical grid. Non-aqueous redox-flow batteries have emerged as promising systems for large-capacity\, reversible energy storage capable of meeting the variable demands of the electrical grid. The use of non-aqueous solvents increases the energy density of these systems\, however there are few electrolytes with sufficient solubility and electrochemical stability to function in organic media. In this work\, we investigate the potential for Lindqvist polyoxovanadate-alkoxide (POV-alkoxide) clusters to serve as both the anolyte and catholyte for symmetric\, non-aqueous redox-flow batteries. POV-alkoxide clusters display numerous\, highly reversible redox events\, and demonstrate significant solubility and electrochemical stability in organic solvents. These bulky compounds also demonstrate the ability to mitigate species crossover and membrane fouling\, thereby improving the energy efficiency and lifetime of flow battery cells. The application of POV-alkoxides as electrolytes in organic media demonstrates that the remarkable redox properties of multimetallic clusters can be harnessed for non-aqueous energy storage applications\, and represents an important new direction for the generation of high performance redox-flow batteries. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nEllen Matson (University of Rochester) UID:64523-16382900@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64523 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190917T100321 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture. The Due Process of Cruelty: Trump’s Immigration Policy and the Rule of Law DESCRIPTION:Most legal efforts to stop anti-immigrant policies adopted by the Trump Administration have\, at most\, slowed their implementation\, and have just as often failed entirely. According to polls\, public opinion seems to have rejected the Trump approach to immigration\, and yet the political process seems unable to change it. This lecture by a scholar and advocate at the frontlines addresses these apparent failures\, and in the process identifies gaps in international law\, administrative law and constitutional norms that have left immigrants uniquely exposed to harm at a time of rising nationalism and xenophobia.\n \nMichael Kagan (J.D. Michigan 2000)\, is Joyce Mack Professor of Law at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas\, where he is Director of the UNLV Immigration Clinic.

As a legal advocate\, Prof. Kagan started his career developing legal aid for Sudanese\, Somali\, Iraqi and other refugees in the Middle East. He now directs a clinic that defends people facing deportation in Las Vegas\, Nevada. In a private capacity\, Prof. Kagan was a plaintiff in Kravitz v.

Therefore\, a robust control framework with full consideration of the hardware is crucial but not available yet even with the current state-of-the-art techniques. Kim will explain challenges between classical control techniques (e.g. bandwidth of feedback control\, uncertainty\, and robustness) and high-level planning (e.g. step planning\, visual perception\, and trajectory optimization). Kim will also showcase some of my recent results on various legged platforms delving in different functionalities and control formulations and why a systematic understanding is critical to accomplish dynamic locomotion control. The tested robots include point-foot bipeds (Hume\, Mercury)\, robots using liquid-cooling viscoelastic actuators (Draco)\, and a quadruped robot using proprioceptive actuators (Mini-Cheetah).\n\nDonghyun Kim is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a member of the biomimetic robotics lab\, which is known for building cheetah robots. Donghyun's primary research area is in dynamic locomotion of legged systems with a focus on the development of a control framework and its experimental validation. During his Ph.D. at UT\, Donghyun developed frameworks including joint-level feedback control\, whole-body control\, footstep planners\, and robustness analysis for passive-ankle biped robots. At MIT\, he developed controllers for high speed running of quadruped robots and demonstrated the Mini-Cheetah robot running up to 3.7 m/s. He is now extending his research area to a perception-based high-level decision algorithm to push forward robots' athletic intelligence.

Discovering themselves to be inheritors of an historical identity deeply marked by the Islamic tradition (an identity insistently denied and erased within Spanish nationalist discourse)\, these men and women have found Islam to be integral to their lives in ways that upset their coordinates of identity\, as Europeans\, Spaniards\, or Andalusians. In this talk\, and keeping in mind the theme of this workshop\, I want to think about historical memory as a medium of religious communication\, or more precisely\, of a religious interpellation addressed to a subject outside the bounds of that religion. While it is common to think about the legacies of al-Andalus as “cultural” rather than religious\, neither of these modern terms\, I argue\, can do justice to the disruptive impact of the Iberian past on those who listen to its call.

Quechua/Aymara merchants\, often stigmatized as troublesome and unmanageable\, expanded rapidly to challenge the formal economy ran by merchants of diverse European as well as Middle-Eastern origins (mainly Croatian\, Lebanese\, Jewish\, Spanish\, Italian\, and German). \n\nGastón Gallardo’s presentation will explore the spatial consequences that rose from the “physical” creation of a Quechua/Aymara black market that commercialized with clothing and other imported goods. This black market created a vast ambulant commerce of informal nature that dramatically changed La Paz\, the site of Bolivia’s government. What did this mean symbolically? How should we conceptualize the enormous changes the city is encountering today between the rationalized European spatial models of the past and the new mestizo baroque architectural forms of the present? What are the connections between commerce and the vibrant mestizo festivities that have conquered artistically the traditional criollo city of the past? \n\nGastón Gallardo is a well-known Bolivian architect and urban planner. Professor Emeritus of the School of Architecture at Universidad Mayor de San Andrés\, the most important public university in Bolivia\, Gallardo has also been its Dean of the School of Architecture\, Arts\, Design and Urbanism\, from 2015 until 2018. He is also a founder member of the School of Architecture at Universidad Católica Boliviana\, and has taught at the postgraduate level at several other universities. He holds degrees from Universidad Mayor de San Andrés and Collegio d’Ingenierie della Toscana\, Firenze\, Italy\, and has done postgraduate work in territorial and urban planning\, in Italy and Argentina. Gallardo in widely published in Bolivia and Latin America\, and is currently Vice President of the Bolivian Association of History.\n\nGallardo’s presentation will be in Spanish.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, the Institute for the Humanities\, Rackham Graduate School\, and the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts.

Spoor (Pokot) DESCRIPTION:Agnieszka Holland and Kasia Adamik\, directors. In Polish with English subtitles (128 min.\, 2017).\n \nDuszejko\, an eccentric retired construction engineer\, an astrologist and a vegetarian\, lives in a small mountain village on the Czech-Polish border. One day her beloved dogs disappear. A few months later she discovers a dead body of her neighbour\, a poacher. The only traces leading to the mysterious death are those of roe deer hooves around the house…\n \nAs time goes by\, more grisly killings are discovered. The victims\, all hunters\, belonged to the local elite. The police investigation proves ineffective. Duszejko has her own theory: all murders were committed by wild animals…\n \nPlease join us for a free film screening of \"Spoor\" and Central European treats to celebrate Polish author Olga Tokarczuk's 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature.\n \n\"Spoor\" was adapted from Olga Tokarczuk's novel \"Drag Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead.\" We will give away a limited number of free copies of the book to the first guests through the door.

Everyday experiences of racism\, discrimination\, or just subtly being made to feel “different” or like we don’t belong can cause our academics and social lives to suffer. This negatively impacts our mental wellbeing. Many students of color face the challenge of finding supportive and trusting resources that relate to their mental health experiences. Finding the solution to this lack of support has been a conversation that's been halted on campus for too long. At Wellness in Color\, we aim to tackle this challenge by facilitating dialogues to initiate the mental health conversation in our community. \n\nWe invite you to join us to talk about how students of color have persevered despite difficult moments at Michigan and how faculty and staff can play a role in creating a learning environment where students of color can thrive.\n\nThis student pre-conference is designed and facilitated by U-M students of color as part of the national Young\, Gifted\, @Risk\, and Resilient Conference which aims to promote the mental health and well being among students of color. \n\nSponsors: \nThe Steve Fund\, National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID)\, Program on Intergroup Relations (IGR)\, Trotter Multicultural Center (TMC)\, and the Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA) office.

What values do these persuasive acts embody? Whose purposes do they serve? And whom do they obscure\, dehumanize or erase? The literary content of these persuasive acts suggests a necessary role for writers\, literary critics and scholars of disability studies\, as we seek to guide the use of new and powerful biotechnologies in human beings.

With roots in the South\, but living in the North the family's ties to religious\, education\, and political leaders and institutions cast new light on the loyalties Americans felt towards their region\, nation and the institution of slavery. \n\nCentral to the story is Preston Davidson\, a Hoosier by birth\, who fought for the Confederacy alongside his Virginian cousins. On the other side\, stands his brother Dorman\, who fought to preserve the Union. How these two ended up on opposing sides of the greatest conflict in American history is the story of how familial expectations\, faith\, higher educational opportunities\, and political loyalties all played into the struggle over if the nation would be divided or united and whether or not slavery would flourish or be abolished.\n\nA native Hoosier\, Jason S. Lantzer holds a BA\, MA\, and PhD all from Indiana University. His research and writing interests center on the intersection of religion\, politics\, and law in American History.

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.

This day-long conference will bring together leading researchers\, practitioners\, administrators\, faculty\, and students to focus on campus climate and mental health among young adult/college students of color.\n\nThe current dialogue on mental health among college students has become a nationwide priority. Students of color in particular are tasked with navigating unique circumstances that can negatively influence their mental health\, including racial/ethnic discrimination disparities in service utilization that can be exacerbated by discrimination experiences\, treatment related to immigration status\, and racialized sexual and gender marginalization. Yet\, there is a relative dearth of scholarship specifically focused on the roles and impacts of campus climates characterized by these types of experiences on the mental health and well-being of college students of color. Such gaps in knowledge inhibit our ability to fully provide high quality\, responsive\, and equitable and inclusive supports and services.\n\nThis national conference is a collaboration between The Steve Fund\, the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) and the Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI) at the University of Michigan. The conference curriculum is informed by the longstanding work of The Steve Fund and the latest research and insights from scholars and practitioners across the country. Conference participants will explore national and campus socio-political contexts and take away best practices in order to foster spaces and places that promote emotional well-being for students of color. We hope you will join us as we work towards advancing research and informing practice to better support students of color across the country.\n\nWe welcome you to visit the conference website to learn more.

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:63992-16059384@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:20191024T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770242@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:20191024T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T163000 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. Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N.

Stamps School of Art & Design\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n  UID:67261-16831205@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:20191024T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T170000 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:58562-15002291@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:63803-15884095@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:63627-15820767@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:20191024T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T170000 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. 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 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.

However\, this is a relatively new political phenomenon. In this lecture\, I provide a brief overview of the changes in the role of prime ministers and the power of public opinion over the past fifty years. I also show how changes in methodology and more frequent polls further accelerated prime ministers’ dependence on their approval ratings. Finally\, using available survey data\, I demonstrate how much the impact of prime ministerial approval on individual voting behavior has increased over time.\n \nProfessor Maeda earned his PhD in political science from the University of Michigan in 2001. His research interests include (1) public opinion\, (2) methodologies in survey research\, and (3) data sharing in the social sciences.

Misogynoir also expands the scope of examination and provides an inclusive focus on not just anti-Blackness and White supremacy\, but also intraracially\, in exploring how Black masculinity and Black patriarchy contribute to the objectification of Black women. To gain a sense of the interracial and intraracial experiences of Black women in gaming\, this talk will interrogate ethnographic observations and interviews with Black women and other women of color in online gaming communities. While these examples highlight the continued devaluation of women in public spaces\, my observational narratives weave together a simultaneous engagement with being a Black woman while online\, while gaming\, and while consuming mediated content about Black women in “the real world.” This transmediated engagement illustrates intersectional tech\,\nexploring the entanglements of visual\, textual\, and oral engagements of the Black body in both the digital and physical realms.\n\n\nKishonna Gray is an Assistant Professor in Communication and Gender and Women's Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago\, and a Faculty Associate at the Berkman-Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. \n\nPreviously\, she served as an MLK Scholar and Assistant Professor at MIT in the Women & Gender Studies Program as well as a Faculty Visitor at the Social Media Collective at Microsoft Research (Cambridge). \n​\nHer work broadly intersects identity and digital media with a particular focus on video games and gaming culture.

Did you know 92% of companies (including colleges and universities) use or plan to use social media to recruit. Many graduate students have a love/hate relationship with social media. They know they “have to do it” that it’s the “right thing to do\,” but is it necessary in higher education? You may be wondering\, if you are planning to go the faculty tenure route\, is it really necessary? At this workshop\, you will learn how to think more strategically about your social media strategy and presence as a scholar. More specifically\, you’ll decide what type of “professional persona” you are trying to portray and then you’ll learn some tactics and techniques for building your social media network.\nThis workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Space is limited. For faculty and staff\, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/K449A.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

Humans are altering these fluxes by perturbing terrestrial ecosystems through land use change\, land management\, and climate change. In this talk\, I explore how terrestrial processes\, ranging from leaf-level to global scales\, respond to human perturbations and\, in turn\, how changes to terrestrial ecosystems impact climate. Insight into the interactions between terrestrial ecosystems and climate is fundamental to understanding the future of our planet and the natural resources and ecosystem services it provides. This is vital to creating policies effective in regulating perturbations and improving the quality of life for human society.

Specific problems include robotic mixed-type decision-making problems and spacecraft multi-phase mission planning. We propose both off-line and online algorithms to empower autonomy in real-time.\nWe develop the off-line algorithm by first formulating such problems as a Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Programming (QCQP)\, with safety criterions as constraints directly. Subsequently\, to solve the QCQP\, an efficient optimization algorithm is proposed based on inexact augmented Lagrangian methods. Our algorithm admits simple subproblems with closed-form solutions\, which leads to scalability and real-time applicability. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness and efficacy of our algorithms. \nAlso\, for the online algorithm\, Control Barrier Functions (CBF) with forward-invariance is adopted to guarantee safety via calibrating the input from control algorithms. However\, CBF in high-order systems can often encounter infeasibility due to control limitations. To address that\, we learn a differentiable safety hyperplane getting the lower-order states involved. A feedback training scheme is developed to decrease the infeasibility rate recursively. Subsequently\, the newly learned safety hyperplane is added as a constraint in the CBF formulation. Simulation results on path planning demonstrate the improvement of the proposed framework.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nDr. Chuangchuang Sun is currently a postdoctoral associate in the department of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT.

Research in California has shown significant potential to lower methane emissions from waste management and subsequently increase short-term soil carbon (C) storage via amendments of composted organic material. However\, effective climate change mitigation will require long-term or sustained emissions reduction and C sequestration. We used field experiments and modeling to explore the long-term potential of improved agricultural practices on greenhouse gas emissions and ecosystem C cycling. A decade following a one-time application of composted organic matter to grassland soils\, amended plots accumulated approximately 9 Mg C ha-1 more soil C in the top 30 cm than paired controls. Aboveground plant growth was also higher in the amended plots after 10 years. Soil C stocks and C sequestration rates in compost-amended plots were resistant to rainfall and temperature changes predicted by Earth Systems Models (ESMs). We used two climate models (HadGEM and CanESM) and two climate change scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) to determine the sensitivity of rangeland C dynamics to climate change with and without composted amendments to the year 2100. Drier sites yielded surprisingly high rates of C storage and were less sensitive to climate change than wetter sites. We also used a new micrometeorological approach to estimate greenhouse gas fluxes from composted manure\, green waste\, and food waste\, the highest emitting organic waste streams. We found that manure and green waste had considerably lower methane emission factors than food waste\, and that all composted wastes had lower emission factors with composting than with landfilling or slurrying. Our results show that there are alternative management approaches can both lower greenhouse gas emissions and sequester atmospheric CO2 over short and long time periods\, and thus provide viable climate change mitigation approaches.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/0JjEXOx9mQ8 UID:65474-16605608@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65474 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191024T181547 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T171500 SUMMARY:Other:Measuring Students' Understandings of Multiple Representations in Chemistry DESCRIPTION: Learning chemistry requires students to become fluent in the symbolic language of chemistry. Developing expertise\, however\, requires that students move beyond manipulating symbols to create explanations using particulate models of matter for observations in the laboratory. Failure to accurately interpret and connect these multiple representations of matter is one source of students’ misconceptions. Our research group designs measurement tools to advance our understanding of how students understand and interpret representations for a variety of core concepts. Creating such measures presents multiple challenges with regard to establishing the precision and accuracy of the data. Insights regarding the underlying assumptions and appropriateness of commonly used psychometrics will be examined. Findings regarding students’ reasoning and misconceptions will be presented with examples drawn from general chemistry\, organic chemistry\, physical chemistry\, and biochemistry courses. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nStacey Lowery Bretz (Miami University) UID:65050-16509310@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65050 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191017T080416 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Technology-enabled structural health monitoring and control of large-scale structures DESCRIPTION:Vibration-based structural health monitoring (SHM) has tremendous\npotential to detect incipient failures of structures\, e.g. onset of damage\nand unexpected behavior during extreme climatic events\, so that\ncorrective actions can be employed in a timely manner.

POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews and the Politics of History in Today’s Poland DESCRIPTION:POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews opened its core exhibition less than five years ago\, but it has already attracted millions of visitors and massive and favorable media attention both in Poland and internationally\, and earned the major European museum awards. However\, since it opposed the so-called Holocaust complicity law in early 2018 and organized a large public program for the 50th anniversary of the 1968 “anti-Zionist campaign” in communist Poland\, it has become an object of media attacks and criticism by the government. This lecture will present the processes that had led to the establishment of the museum and its remarkable success. It will examine how these processes have changed under a culture war dividing the country\; a tendency for expansive government control\; and a memory policy\, which rejects critical coming to terms with difficult pasts as a “pedagogy of shame” and calls for a glorious vision of national history\, focusing on heroism and victimhood. \n \nDariusz Stola is a historian and professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences. He has published ten books and more than 100 articles on the history of Polish-Jewish relations\, the Holocaust\, international migrations and communist regime\, as well as on Polish debates about these pasts. In 2014-2019\, he was the Polin Museum director. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to copernicus@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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.

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:63992-16059385@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:20191011T120152 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191025T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191025T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Machine Learning in Survey Research DESCRIPTION:Please join instructor Adam Eck (assistant professor of computer science\, Oberlin College)\, as he conducts a half-day workshop titled “Machine Learning in Survey Research”. This workshop is designed for population/survey researchers and analysts of all skill levels\, and will present an introduction to machine learning concepts and their applications to survey research (such as sample frame creation\, respondent modelling\, and open-ended response coding).\n\nTopics Include:\n• Introduction to machine learning and its applications to survey research\n• Decision trees and random forests\n• Deep learning and other neural network-based techniques\n• ML techniques to model respondent behaviors\, assist with coding of open-ended responses\, and more\n• Demonstration using R and Python\n\nPresented by the Population Dynamics and Health Program (PDHP).\n\nBIO:\n Adam Eck is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Oberlin College. His primary research and teaching interests include: intelligent agents and multiagent systems\, machine learning\, data science\, and computer-aided education.\n\nMore specifically\, Adam enjoys learning about and developing solutions within decision making under uncertainty (how should agents gather information and behave to maximize rewards in complex\, dynamic environments)\, reinforcement learning (how can agents learn how their worlds' operate in order to guide their decisions)\, and sequential supervised learning using recurrent neural networks (how can we predict future outcomes based on sequences of past observations).\n\nREGISTRATION:\nhttps://pdhp.isr.umich.edu/workshops/ UID:68286-17039621@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68286 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Computer Science,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Information and Technology,Machine Learning,Social Sciences,Sociology,Survey Research LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 ISR-Thompson CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191025T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191025T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

The exhibition also includes nearly 100 I.D. photos of migrant children from a Texas holding center. Buentello took the photos in 2014 while working for an intake agency.\n\n\"Focusing on images from the US media sources that exposed the violence of migrants’ dehumanization\, vulnerability\, fear\, loss\, and criminalization\, the paintings document the embodiment of state-authorized brutality and erasures of personhood.\" -Ruth Leonela Buentello\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.
