The installation of his work as a mural in a central public space on our campus is intended to provoke conversation in place of silence. Much reporting on Central America depicts the problem of gangs and violence as far away and impossible to solve\, and the victims and perpetrators of this violence as essentially alien. With the hashtag #NoHumanIsAlien\, the artist and organizers invite reflection on a crisis of violence in Central America that has been exacerbated\, and in important ways created\, by policies originating in the United States. We hope to spark and enrich debate on our campus about current immigration policies\, including the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status for Salvadoran migrants and the asylum claims of tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children\, children who have fled the conditions depicted in Andino’s work. \n \nThis exhibit\, a large-scale comic strip along the halls of the second floor of Mason Hall\, will be open for viewing from March 19 - April 6\, 2018. \n \nJoin us for the opening reception with Germán Andino on March 26\, 2018 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm.

An Analysis of Panel Data From the MET Project DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nBuilding on prior research suggesting increases in the percent students of color and low-income students in a class is associated with overall lower quality instruction\, we use panel data to examine how teachers’ instruction changes given the different racial\, ethnic\, and socioeconomic status compositions of their classes. We analyze these associations along dimensions of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System. Results of fixed-effects regression analysis find that instruction is robust with respect to changes in classroom composition within teachers. This finding suggests that other factors such as teacher sorting or resource allocation likely account for the lower quality of instruction experienced by these student populations.

The project\, led by the Institute for the Humanities\, symbolizes the humanities in action\, and the empowerment that can be achieved through working together\, overcoming obstacles and divides\, and discovering creative solutions.\n\nMacmurtrie is an award winning artist\, renowned internationally for his large-scale robotic sculpture\, whose work combines materiality and robotics\, the visceral and conceptual. His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

They found that their classrooms were fundamentally transformed when they decided that the courses were not about specific factual content\, but rather about the skills students take away that are relevant to their lives and the world they inhabit. In their courses\, students rose to high expectations when instructors communicated confidence that students could reach those expectations and provided the resources needed. Furthermore\, with deliberate effort\, Dorf and LaVaque-Manty created explicitly inclusive courses to the benefit of all students. These kinds of changes make possible large courses that inspire students to say\, “This changed my life.”\n\nIn developing courses that tap into student creativity and imagination\, tools for teaching at scale (multiple choice quizzes\, auto-graded homework\, etc.) still play an important role. In order to make the more labor-intensive aspects of courses work at large scale\, it’s essential to staff these courses with a team of instructors and to balance the automated with the artisan. The presenters will discuss how they achieved this balance.\n\nIn the second hour\, participants will engage in a discussion of how to apply the principles that promote creativity\, imagination\, and inclusivity in their own courses. In particular\, we will consider how to make content relevant to students’ lives and their world\, how to plan for and assemble the resources needed\, and how to set expectations that are high enough\, but not so high that students get lost. We’ll also address the reasonable fear of failing to provide an adequate educational experience for students when making radical changes to your approach to a course.\n\nLunch provided UID:50451-11768331@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50451 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Professional Development LOCATION:Palmer Commons - 1013 Seminar Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180124T084857 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Fulbright U.S. Student Program Info Session for Study/Research DESCRIPTION:U-M Fulbright U.S. Student Program Advisors (FPA) will detail specific components of the Fulbright application and provide helpful tips on how to design your application.

The method is formulated for continuum spacetime of any dimension\, in real time and infinite volume\, and is thus complementary to other numerical methods\, such as the lattice. The method harnesses conformal symmetry\, but in a manner applicable to general\, non-conformal QFTs. Specifically\, the input is information about the UV CFT from which the QFT originates. The output is the physical IR QFT spectrum\, along with real-time\, infinite-volume correlation functions. I will discuss applications to 2D phi^4 theory\, where we have performed novel computations of correlation functions at any coupling\, such as the Zamolodchikov c-function along the full RG-flow. The 2D Ising model provides a highly-nontrivial cross-check of our numerics.

His photographs depict the built environments and landscapes of Greenbelt\, Maryland\; Greenhills\, Ohio\; and Greendale\, Wisconsin\, collectively known as \"Greenbelt Towns\,\" to evoke utopia both as an idea and a place in the American mind.\n\nIn the '30s\, the program was critiqued as \"socialistic\" and \"communistic\" by industrial and corporate leaders\, newspapers\, and members of Congress hostile to New Deal policies\, yet they made an indelible impression on urbanist ideas around the world. New Deal Utopias emphasizes that the Greenbelt Towns are an overlooked\, but crucial part of the American landscape\, as we continue to grapple with the shifting roles of housing\, nature\, and government in American life.\n\nThis public talk is in connection to Taubman College lecturer Sarah Rovang's Arch 603 course\, \"Fieldwork in American Modernism.\" UID:50984-11933448@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50984 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Lecture LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building - Auditorium 2104 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180314T100228 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:ONSF National Scholarship Workshop 1 DESCRIPTION:Applying for National Scholarships I: Exploring and Preparing\n\nDr. Henry Dyson\, Director of the Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships (ONSF) at UM will give the first of a series of two presentations on applying for national scholarships.

The simplest special case is Gauss' law of quadratic reciprocity. In the so called `regular\, self-dual' case much progress has been made in the roughly 40 years since Langlands made these conjectures. In these talks I will discuss recent progress in regular\, but non-self-dual case. In this case the automorphic forms in question can be realized as cohomology classes for arithmetic locally symmetric spaces\, i.e.\, quotients of symmetric spaces by discrete groups. Thus instead of the Langlands correspondence being a relationship between algebra and analysis\, it can be thought of as a relationship between algebra and topology. This realization of the Langlands correspondence is in many ways more concrete. It also admits to generalizations not envisioned by Langlands\, for instance relating mod p Galois representations with mod p cohomology classes.\n\nIn these talks I will describe the expected Langlands correspondence in the special cases of modular curves (an example of the `self-dual' case) and arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds (an example of the `non-self-dual' case). I will try both to present the general picture and to give numerical examples. I will also describe various recent theorems in the latter case due to Lan\, Harris\, Thorne and myself\; to Peter Scholze\; and to Allen\, Calegari\, Caraiani\, Gee\, Helm\, Le Hung\, Newton\, Scholze\, Thorne and myself.\n\nSponsored by the Rainich Lecture Series UID:50244-11690342@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50244 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate School,Lecture,Mathematics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180530T080833 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introductory Techniques Seminars presented by The Michigan Center for Materials Characterization DESCRIPTION:This continuing series of seminars is designed to introduce potential users of our center to a range of the techniques that are employed with our instruments.

Open to all.\n\nLydia Davis\, who was awarded the Man Booker International Prize in 2013\, is an American writer noted for literary works of extreme brevity\, commonly called “flash fiction.” Davis is also a short story writer\, novelist\, essayist\, and translator from French and other languages\, and has produced several new translations of French literary classics\, including 'Swann’s Way' by Marcel Proust and 'Madame Bovary' by Gustave Flaubert. Her books include a novel\, 'The End of the Story' (1995)\, several full-length story collections—'Can’t and Won’t' (2014)\, 'Varieties of Disturbance' (2007)\, 'Samuel Johnson Is Indignant' (2002)\, 'Almost No Memory' (1997)\, and 'Break It Down' (1986)—and several small-press and limited-edition volumes.

In recent years\, less than 7% of domestic physics PhDs awarded nationwide have gone to students from underrepresented minority (URM) groups\, even though they make up 35% of the college age population. Increasing diversity in a physics PhD program can be difficult\, especially if the program receives a low number of “traditionally qualified” URM applicants. Inspired by successful STEM Bridge programs at San Francisco State\, Fisk-Vanderbilt\, and Michigan\, the Ohio State University MS-to-PhD Physics Bridge Program (OSU-BP) was established in late 2012 with unanimous faculty support to increase the pool of qualified applicants from underrepresented groups\, and accepted its first cohort of four Bridge students in August 2013. I will discuss activities and events that preceded and followed the creation of the OSU-BP\, which have coincided with an increase in the representation of URM students in the OSU Physics PhD program from less than 5% of domestic students in 2012 to almost 20% in autumn 2017. These include building a core group of committed faculty colleagues\, partnering with the American Physical Society Bridge Program for nationwide recruiting and other support\, working with colleagues in Physics Education Research (PER) to develop new graduate physics academic support programs\, and expanding holistic PhD admissions practices. I will also discuss on-going and future efforts\, opportunities\, and obstacles for increasing diversity in graduate programs at OSU and elsewhere. I would like to acknowledge the essential contributions of OSU Bridge Program Co-Director Jay Gupta\, PER colleagues Andrew Heckler and Chris Porter\, and many other colleagues who worked so hard to help these efforts succeed.\n UID:50367-11724549@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50367 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180315T120200 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T170000 SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:GLACE residential humanities program Mass Meeting DESCRIPTION:Come learn about this new\, interdisciplinary program.

Zajonc Collegiate Professorship in Psychology Inaugural Lecture - East and West: A Cultural Psychological Perspective DESCRIPTION:Please join Dean Andrew Martin in honoring Professor Shinobu Kitayama on his appointment to the Robert B. Zajonc Collegiate Professor of Psychology.\n\nThe study of culture in psychology has come of age. I was fortunate to live this development through my professional career. Along with a number of colleagues\, I have explored cultural pluralism – the hypothesis that there are multiple equilibriums in human cultural adaptation while relying on epistemological positivism – a set of scientific methods employed to evaluate claims made on different cultures. One primary domain of interest has been a macroscopic comparison between (relatively interdependent) East and (relatively independent) West. The resulting field is now called cultural psychology. In this lecture\, I will discuss three core themes of the field and put forward new questions that have emerged on the horizon. Specifically\, the success of cultural psychology was initially anchored in (i) an experimental approach to document cultural variations in mentality. Subsequently\, it has been reinforced by both (ii) an effort to identify situational\, historical\, ecological\, and\, more recently\, evolutionary forces that shape the contemporary cultural variations in mentality and (iii) the adoption of neuroscience methods to assess the “depth” of cultural influences on mentality. Now\, the field is poised to address novel questions on the biological mechanisms that are recruited to support culture\, including neuroplasticity\, gene x culture co-evolution\, and epigenetic pathways of socio-cultural adaptation.

But the two categories frequently conjoin to form more complex hybrids: many pre-­cadential hemiolas are inserted inside displacements\, and the Brahmsian hemiolic cycle inserts a displacement inside of a hemiola. These hybrid formations are related to the formal category of parenthesis usually traced back to Koch (1792)\, but they have a more historically distant origin\, in a 14th-­‐century conception of syncopation: as a dialectic  not of displacement (Verschiebung) and restoration \, but rather of fragmentation (Zerteilung) and reassembly. This paper suggests that this older conception of syncopation provides a framework for theorizing a variety of complex metric formations. Examples are provided from music of Beethoven\, Brahms\, Dvorak\, and West African drum ensembles.  UID:51082-11956304@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51082 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music,North campus LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Glenn E.

Memories of Disintegration: Ibero-American Experimental Film (Ann Arbor Film Festival) DESCRIPTION:As the profile of Ibero-American cinema\, the Spanish- and Portuguese-language films of Latin America\, continues to rise on the festival circuit\, a strong commitment to experimentation remains in the cinema emanating from the region. First-rate film schools in Cuba\, Argentina\, and Mexico\, among other nations\, are producing a new generation of filmmakers who eschew the proliferation of digital techniques\, returning to tactical analog modes of production (This program features work made on Video8\, Super 8\, 16mm\, Super 35mm\, and VHS). Playing with notions of self-reflexivity and nostalgia\, real and imagined\, these filmmakers test the boundaries of both narrative and documentary genres. Showcasing the diverse voices of these talented young artists\, each of the six films highlight the vision and ingenuity of Ibero-America. These shorts have screened at Cannes\, Toronto International Film Festival\, and New York Film Festival\, along with strong Latin American showcases such as the Morelia\, Mar del Plata\, Valdivia\, and Havana film festivals.

Since the invention of the light bulb\, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors\, prioritizing work\, school\, socializing\, sports\, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible\, something that can be made up at any time\, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately\, they could not be more wrong.\n\nThe truth is\, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes\, reduces productivity\, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works\, why it is important\, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

Yet public trust in journalism has hit historic lows in recent years and journalists have recently been openly maligned for their work. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of journalists in a free society. Why is the concept of a free press written into the First Amendment? How are the rights of journalists threatened? Is this a unique moment in history? How have new modes of reporting\, such as social media and citizen journalism\, made the press more vulnerable? And\, finally\, what are the broader societal implications of a restricted and diminished press?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

The installation of his work as a mural in a central public space on our campus is intended to provoke conversation in place of silence. Much reporting on Central America depicts the problem of gangs and violence as far away and impossible to solve\, and the victims and perpetrators of this violence as essentially alien. With the hashtag #NoHumanIsAlien\, the artist and organizers invite reflection on a crisis of violence in Central America that has been exacerbated\, and in important ways created\, by policies originating in the United States. We hope to spark and enrich debate on our campus about current immigration policies\, including the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status for Salvadoran migrants and the asylum claims of tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children\, children who have fled the conditions depicted in Andino’s work. \n \nThis exhibit\, a large-scale comic strip along the halls of the second floor of Mason Hall\, will be open for viewing from March 19 - April 6\, 2018. \n \nJoin us for the opening reception with Germán Andino on March 26\, 2018 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm.

His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

Benton Professor of Behavioral Science in \nManagement at the Ross School of Business\, University of Michigan. He specializes in basic research into human emotions\, decision-making\, social identity\, ethics\, and action. This work has been applied to the study of consumers\, patients\, doctors\, salespersons\, managers\, military officers\, and organizations. Recently he has investigated biological bases of manager and consumer behavior by use of fMRI and genetic analyses to study mental behavior. \n\nWe will explore what goes on in our brains (as consumers and managers) when we make decisions. Three universal\, fundamental mental phenomena will be examined: theory of mind processes (based on research into autism)\, human empathy (as related to mirror neurons in the brain)\, and the underpinnings of the Machiavellian (i.e.\, psychopathic) mind in business and politics. Time permitting\, we will consider how our genes operate\, in conjunction with environmental and psychological triggers\, to influence our behavior.\n\nThis is the third in a six-lecture series. The subject is Behavioral and Social Sciences: Real World Applications. The next lecture will be March 29\, 2018. The title is The Why and How of Behavioral Economic Strategies to Promote Healthy Decisions.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Invaders have been widely observed to trigger changes in species’ interactions and abundances and even cause catastrophic extinction cascades of native species. Classical food web models have focused on explaining and predicting such ecological responses on relatively short time scales. However\, these models typically neglect changes in selection pressure on native species caused by the invaders and their subsequent effects on the structure and stability of food webs on longer time scales. I address these issues using an eco-evolutionary model containing both invasion and mutation events. It integrates classical assembly models\, which describe the emergence of a food web via sequential invasions\, with so-called evolutionary food web models or large community evolution models\, which describe food web emergence via speciation due to small mutation steps. The model uses body masses and diets as the key traits that determine metabolic rates and species interactions. I vary the frequency of invasion events in relation to speciation events and the relatedness between native species and invaders. I then analyze the size of the emerging network (in terms of total biomass and number of morphs or ‘species’)\, its ecological and evolutionary stability\, and its species turnover pattern. The results show that food webs evolve most diverse and accumulate the most biomass when being exposed to frequent invasions of species similar to native species. The system is also most stable in such invasion context\, both evolutionary (i.e.\, lower variability in the number of morphs/species over time) and ecologically (i.e.\, lower variability in total biomass over time) UID:49830-11543792@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49830 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Complex Systems,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Physics LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 747 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180317T121702 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lunch with DPSS DESCRIPTION:Please join Graduate Rackham International (GRIN) for an interactive meeting with DPSS officers and representatives to learn more about how your experience as at the University can be better served by DPSS.

Kennedy\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\nSchool of Aerospace Engineering\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\n\nThe application of optimization algorithms to aerospace vehicle design offers the potential to extract performance benefits in highly-coupled systems. Design optimization tools can be used to better understand complex trade spaces and to compare optimized concepts to achieve an unbiased comparison. However\, large-scale design spaces produced from high-fidelity simulations place new computational demands on optimization tools. This presentation will address the development and application of new optimization algorithms and techniques\, focusing on structural and aeroelastic design cases. These applications include the development of advanced topology optimization algorithms for aerospace structures\, and the development of an aeroelastic design optimization tool\, called FUNtoFEM\, for fixed wing and rotorcraft applications.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nGraeme Kennedy is an Assistant Professor in the School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology\, where he leads his research group focused on developing novel design optimization methods for structural and multidisciplinary aerospace systems. Before joining the Georgia Tech faculty\, he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan in the Multidisciplinary Design Optimization lab. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) under the supervision of Prof. Joaquim R.R.A. Martins in 2012 and his M.A.Sc. from UTIAS under the supervision of Prof. Jorn Hansen in 2007. He received his undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2005.

Pannier\, Ph.D.\nAssociate Professor\, Biological Systems Engineering Department\nUniversity of Nebraska\n\n“Priming Nonviral Gene Delivery for Stem Cell and Vaccination Applications”\n \nAbstract:\nGene delivery is the delivery of exogenous genetic material to cells with the goal of altering molecular physiology to produce a cellular or systemic phenotype change. Unlike many conventional drugs\, free nucleic acids are not readily internalized by eukaryotic cells due to size and charge\, but many methods of their delivery to cells are the subject of intense research\, including viral and non-viral methods. Non-viral gene delivery methods are much less efficient than viral methods\, but flexibility in genetic cargo\, ease of transfection protocols\, and lack of safety issues make them advantageous alternatives. Strategies to engineer more effective non-viral gene delivery materials and methods are highly dependent on variable parameters such as cell type and application\, and have focused on engineering increasingly more complex lipid and polymer vectors\, but the rational design of new technologies is limited by our current knowledge of several key cellular barriers. To expand our knowledge of the “biology of transfection” our group has made efforts to understand the process of gene delivery\, using diverse tools include modeling\, gene expression analysis\, high throughput screening\, cell priming\, and the development of new material systems\, for stem cell and vaccination applications.

An analysis using industry and trade data DESCRIPTION:This paper estimates the relative efficiency of skilled and unskilled workers across countries using a new method that relies on disaggregated industry and trade data. I document that the share of exports in skill-intensive industries rises sharply with income levels. Interpreted through the lens of a gravity model\, this pattern suggests that rich countries have low relative unit production costs in skill-intensive industries. For standard trade elasticities\, the implied differences in the effective costs of skilled labor services across countries cannot be rationalized by differences in the skilled wage premia\, which leads me to infer that skilled labor is relatively efficient in rich countries compared to in poor countries. Integrating these findings into a development accounting exercise for the manufacturing sector\, I find that accounting for skill-specific efficiency differences reduces the size of skill-neutral labor efficiency differences: the difference in skill-neutral TFP differences between rich and poor countries in manufacturing falls from a factor of 4.3 to a factor of 2.6.

I will present data collected at multiple taxonomic scales\, including phylogenomic analyses of large bird radiations and fine-scale population genetic analyses of single species. These data highlight the importance of the physical landscape in driving speciation\, but\, contrary to much biogeographic theory\, provide scant evidence that specific events in Earth history have influenced speciation in a unified fashion. Instead\, the relative timing of speciation events within lineages is largely idiosyncratic and influenced primarily by natural history characteristics of the species\, such as dispersal ability.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/V55JU1ZnLHM UID:49259-11397842@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Natural Sciences,Research LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180406T123012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T171500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:McKinsey Women in STEM Panel for Undergraduates and Advanced Professional Degree Students DESCRIPTION:Join current McKinsey Business Analysts and Associates to hearabout their career journeys as undergraduates and graduate students in STEM fields.

This contribution explores correlations between language comprehension and performance in general chemistry\, as well as how general chemistry students interact with text-based learning materials. Structure Building\, a model that describes how linguistic information is incorporated into one’s existing knowledge base\, guides our work. We demonstrate that comprehension ability correlates strongly with chemistry course performance. An examination of variables predicted to interact by the Structure Building Framework suggests that high comprehension ability may be sufficient to compensate for low prior knowledge. We also report the design and analysis of a multiple-testing intervention strategy that differentially aids those of low comprehension ability. The effect of question type (multiple choice versus elaborative interrogation) on this multiple-quizzing strategy has also been investigated. With regard to text-based learning materials\, we carried out linguistic analyses of popular general chemistry texts\, the results of which suggest that these materials are appropriate for only low-knowledge students. Further studies probing the extent to which students benefit from reading texts on chemical bonding and redox concepts revealed an expertise reversal effect\, corroborating these textual analyses. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSam Pazicni (University of New Hampshire) UID:47252-10849571@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47252 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CHEM CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180301T094545 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Populism\, Pluralism\, and Ordinary People DESCRIPTION:Benjamin McKean is a political theorist whose research concerns global justice\, populism\, and the relationship between theory and practice. His work has been published in the American Political Science Review\, Political Theory\, and the Journal of Politics. His manuscript _Disposed to Justice_ argues that people subject to unjust institutions and practices should be disposed to solidarity with the others who are also subject to them\, even when those relations cross state borders. A neoliberal global economy characterized by inequality\, financialization\, and transnational supply chains creates a widely shared interest in resisting injustice\, grounded in the way that existing institutions impair freedom. Identifying this interest as the basis for solidarity provides a new perspective not only on the possibility of achieving global justice\, but on the nature and limits of contemporary egalitarian liberalism. He is also at work on a second book project tentatively titled _Political Freedom and Resentment_ about the relationship between democracy and populism UID:50561-11802352@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50561 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Politics LOCATION:Haven Hall - 5670 Eldersveld CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180222T154322 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Public Health Undergraduate Major Information Session DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Undergraduate Information Session to learn more about the new public health major and admission requirements.

The law governing trustees\, broker-dealers\, 401(k) plan managers and other investment fiduciaries has evolved to push them gently toward this consensus. But these laws still provide broad scope for fiduciaries to recommend that clients invest instead in specific assets which they believe will produce “alpha” by outperforming the market. Seeking alpha comes at a cost\, however\, in giving up some of the benefits of the well-diversified\, low-cost\, appropriate risk baseline. Too little attention has been given in fiduciary law to this tradeoff and thus to when seeking alpha is prudent and beneficial for savers\, and when it is not.\n\nThis Article begins to fill that gap by making two contributions. First\, we provide the first benchmark estimates of how much alpha is required before ordinary investors would be better off departing from the consensus. For example\, we estimate that a person of average risk aversion would annually need to beat the market by (i.e.\, obtain alpha of) between 5% and 15% before being willing to entirely forego the benefits of diversification and hold an individual stock (and that during a financial crisis a person would need an annual alpha between 9% and 18%). Second\, we consider the implications of our results for the various branches of law governing investment fiduciaries. We propose generally that fiduciaries should be informed about these alpha tradeoffs and explain them to their clients before recommending (or executing) investments that deviate from the low-cost\, well-diversified\, age-appropriate exposure standard. We argue that through new technology this kind of information can be given to retirement savers and others at quite low cost. Our results also have a variety of more specific applications. For example\, our work shows that the value of diversification increases during periods of market upheaval\, and therefore duty to diversify of trustees of personal trusts and of employee retirement plans should likewise strengthen during such periods.

A group of 10 mathematicians (Allen\, Calegari\, Caraiani\, Gee\, Helm\, Le Hung\, Newton\, Scholze\, Thorne and myself) were recently able to get this approach to work\, the key ingredient being to systematically work in a derived framework. As applications we were able to prove the meromorphic continuation and functional equation of the L-series of elliptic curves over CM fields and to prove the Ramanujan conjecture for the action of Hecke operators on the cohomology of arithmetic hyperbolic three manifolds. I will describe these results and give an outline of the proof.\n\nSponsored by the Rainich Lecture Series UID:50245-11690343@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50245 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate,Lecture,Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180305T162727 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T161500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mr. Vignaud's Maps: A Look Inside with the Curators DESCRIPTION:Join Clark staff and curators\, Tim Utter and Erin Platte\, for a talk about the inspiration and creation of the exhibit\, Mr. Vignaud's Maps: Unraveling a Cartographic Mystery from the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography [https://www.lib.umich.edu/events/mr-vignauds-maps-unraveling-cartographic-mystery-golden-age-dutch-cartography].

In the three decades that emergency management has unfolded in Michigan\, its cities have seen the privatization of public institutions\, disinvestment in public infrastructures\, and other acts of violence against the public sphere. Extending long histories of the extraction of labor\, land\, and wealth from communities of color in the United States\, emergency management has been focused on black majority cities\; in the last 10 years\, around 52% of Michigan’s African-American residents have been disenfranchised by emergency management as compared to 3% of white Michiganders.\n\nOn December 14\, 2017\, Governor Rick Snyder announced that there were\, at the moment\, no emergency managers governing any of Michigan’s cities. That announcement prompts questions about the ongoing consequences and legacies of emergency management—a project that has become dormant rather than invalidated. What has the impact of emergency management been on Michigan’s cities? What lessons should be learned from these experiences? How can these lessons inform resistance in other spaces of threatened or ongoing dedemocratization?\n\nReception: 5:00pm\n\nPanel Discussion: 6:00pm\nMark Fancher\, Racial Justice Project\, ACLU of Michigan\nCatherine Coleman Flowers: Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise\nShea Howell\, The James and Grace Lee Boggs Center\nHelen Moore\, Keep the Vote\nLouise Seamster\, The University of Tennessee Knoxville\nModerated by: Andrew Herscher\, The University of Michigan\n\nOn Friday\, March 23rd\, a related workshop will be convened in Ann Arbor. This conversation will take up some of the issues presented on Thursday\, considering Emergency Management as not only a local but also a national project\, which engages with systems of infrastructure\, government\, and culture at multiple scales. \n\nThe events are co-sponsored by theTaubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan and the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University.

These trade links\, flourished for around six hundred years and\, in due course\, extended to diplomatic relations and even cultural interactions. The height of the contacts was\, however\, unquestionably in the first two centuries C.E. The Romans procured gemstones (chiefly beryl or aquamarine)\, textiles (silk and cotton)\, ivory\, aromatic woods\, spices (primarily pepper and cardamom) and peacocks from South Asia. In return\, Rome exported wine as well as metals such as gold\, silver\, copper and antimony to South Asia. The evidences for these contacts include the limited but significant references to the trade in ancient Greek\, Latin\, Tamil and Sanskrit literature and the recurrent discoveries of Roman coins\, ceramics and a few other types of Roman objects in different parts of India and adjoining regions. The archaeological evidences within Europe are very meager mainly because of the nature of the commerce—most of the trade goods (spices\, textiles\, ivory\, peacocks) reaching Europe were perishable commodities that have not survived for archaeology. \n\nBased on extensive field research in South Asia and Europe\, this lecture unfolds the little-known story of the Rome-South Asia contacts. The presentation takes you on a unique voyage across the places through which the Romans travelled in India and the interesting things—coins\, ceramics\, sculptures –that they left behind in those sites.

Haidostian Annual Distinguished Lecture | International Justice for Atrocity Crimes – Worth the Cost? DESCRIPTION:If you are unable to attend in person\, this lecture will be streamed live on our website: https://ii.umich.edu/asp/news-events/all-events/haidostian-annual-lectures/2018-dr--berj-h--haidostian-annual-distinguished-lecture.html\n\nSince the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in 1993\, several efforts have been made around the globe to bring to justice political and military leaders responsible for war crimes\, crimes against humanity and genocide. Several different models of international tribunals were established for Rwanda\, Sierra Leone\, Cambodia and Lebanon. In 2002\, the International Criminal Court began operations. Critics have labelled these efforts as too slow\, too expensive and a hindrance to peace efforts. Have these international courts had any effect on the commission of atrocities in times of conflict? Do they serve the interests of victims or contribute in any way to post-conflict transitions? Mr. Koumjian will talk about the future prospects for international criminal law\, and whether or not there will ever be a justice mechanism for atrocity crimes ongoing today in places like Syria\, Yemen and Myanmar. \n \nNicholas Koumjian has worked at various international criminal tribunals for the past 17 years\, including the International Criminal Court\, International Court for the Former Yugoslavia\, Special Panels for Serious Crimes in East Timor\, State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina\, and Special Court for Sierra Leone. From 2007-2012\, Mr. Koumjian was Senior Trial Attorney for the prosecution of Charles Taylor\, former President of Liberia for crimes in Sierra Leone. Following his appointment by the United Nations Secretary General\, he has served in Cambodia as the International Co-Prosecutor at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. In June 2017\, he completed final arguments in the trial of Nuon Chea\, “Brother Number 2” in the Khmer Rouge regime and Khieu Samphan\, the former Head of State on charges for crimes committed by that regime between 1975-1979. It is estimated that almost 2 million people lost their lives during that regime and the charges include genocide\, enslavement\, forced marriage and rape.\n\nSponsored by the Armenian Studies Program\, the Donia Human Rights Center\, and the Program in International and Comparative Studies.

Combining present observations with portraits of the Greek musicians and writers\, Holst-Warhaft's book is both a peon of praise for the music and poetry that the author first discovered in the Greece of the 1960's\, and a reminder of how much the country has changed since it returned to democracy in 1974. Having played in the orchestras of such legends as Mikis Theodorakis and Dionysis Savvopoulos\, the author had a bird's eye view of 20th century Greek music at its apogee. Translating Greek poetry and prose later brought her in close contact with some of the leading writers of the period. With the discovery of Greek music and poetry came the forging of lasting friendships with these giants of Greek culture. This eclectic compilation of poetry\, prose\, translation\, memoir\, and songs captures the enigmatic\, hybrid nature of Greece\, a country that has always had the ability to create extraordinary beauty out of suffering.\n\nGail Holst-Warhaft was born in Australia. Besides being a poet she has been a journalist\, broadcaster\, prose-writer\, academic\, musician\, and translator. In the 1970's\, while researching a book on Greek music\, Holst-Warhaft performed as a keyboard-player with Greece's leading composers\, including Mikis Theodorakis. Among her many publications are Road to Rembetika (1975\, 5th edition 2013)\, Theodorakis: Myth and Politics in Modern Greek Music (Hakkert\, Amsterdam\, 1980)\, Dangerous Voices: Women's Laments and Greek Literature (Routledge\, 1992)\, The Cue for Passion: Grief and its Political Uses (Harvard\, 2000)\, I Had Three Lives: Selected Poems of Mikis Theodorakis (Livanis\, 2005)\, and Penelope's Confession (poems\, Cosmos\, 2007)\, Losing Paradise: The Water Crisis in the Mediterranean (Ashgate\, 2010). She has published translations of Aeschylus\, and of a number of modern Greek poets and prose-writers. Her poems and translations of Greek poetry have appeared in journals in the US (Literary Imagination\, Bookpress\, Seneca Review\, Antipodes\, Per Contra\, Literary Matters)\, the U.K. (Agenda\, Stand)\, Australia (Southerly)\, and Greece (Poetry Greece). She was appointed Poet Laureate of Tompkins County for 2011 and 2012.

Since the invention of the light bulb\, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors\, prioritizing work\, school\, socializing\, sports\, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible\, something that can be made up at any time\, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately\, they could not be more wrong.\n\nThe truth is\, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes\, reduces productivity\, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works\, why it is important\, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

Yet public trust in journalism has hit historic lows in recent years and journalists have recently been openly maligned for their work. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of journalists in a free society. Why is the concept of a free press written into the First Amendment? How are the rights of journalists threatened? Is this a unique moment in history? How have new modes of reporting\, such as social media and citizen journalism\, made the press more vulnerable? And\, finally\, what are the broader societal implications of a restricted and diminished press?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.
