Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. \n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public. \n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

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:66701-16770262@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:20191113T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191113T163000 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. Dixboro Rd.\, Ann Arbor. Free.

The collection began in the earliest days of the campus\, but the majority of the works were acquired since the late 1960’s.\n\nDuring his 37-year tenure as University Planner\, Fred Mayer worked directly with many of the artists on the development and siting of their works. In this presentation Mr. Mayer will trace the history of the collection and share anecdotes and personal experiences working with the artists. He will also discuss the relationship between the individual pieces and the broader area of campus planning.

Through software technology\, water contamination data is translated into sound waves.\n\nThe installation consists of speakers that play the ‘data sound tracks’\, which vibrate the water held in attached trays. The sonic vibrations create unique patterns to emerge in the water\, known as water cymatics. Participants hear and see the water vibrate based on the chemical concentrations in their water samples. \n\nRipple Effect travels to communities that neighbor resource extraction activity and aims to transform the way people understand their data in relation to their environment.

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:58562-15002308@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:63803-15884112@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988419@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191113T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191113T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

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.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

Based on the existence of long-lived WDs and the observed supernovae rate\, we constrain ultra-heavy DM candidates that produce high energy SM particles in a WD. This rules out supersymmetric Q-ball DM in parameter space complementary to terrestrial bounds. We also constrain DM which is captured by WDs and forms a self-gravitating DM core. Such a core may form a black hole that ignites a SN via Hawking radiation\, or which causes ignition via a burst of annihilation during gravitational collapse. It is intriguing that these DM-induced ignition scenarios provide an alternative mechanism of triggering SN from sub-Chandrasekhar mass progenitors. In the second part of the talk\, I will present a new technique which utilizes superconducting RF cavities to significantly improve the sensitivity of \"light shinning through walls\" searches for axion-like particles (ALPs). Our design uses a gapped toroid to confine the static magnetic field responsible for axion-photon conversion\, and thereby prevent quenching of the superconducting cavities . Such a search has the potential to probe axion-photon couplings to g ~ 2 x 10^-11 GeV^-1\, comparable to future optical and solar searches.

A Mediterranean Ecumene: Intellectual Contacts and Networks in the Late Medieval Mediterranean. DESCRIPTION:The Turkish Mediterranean lived and breathed with the same rhythms as the Christian\, that the whole sea shared a common destiny\, a heavy one indeed\, with identical problems and general trends if not identical consequences. \n—Fernand Braudel\, The Mediterranean \n\nHis theoretical concerns aside\, Braudel’s conceptualization of the Mediterranean in the sixteenth century was based on geography\, economy\, and society in a path-breaking way. This presentation proposes a cultural and intellectual oecumene within the Eastern Mediterranean basin in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Although it seemed politically divided\, the Eastern Mediterranean’s idiosyncratic commonalities within its intellectual context transcended all boundaries that were imagined in political spheres\, including those of the Byzantines\, Mamluks\, and Ottomans as well as the Renaissance Italians.\n\nThis presentation will investigate the activities and oeuvre of scholars in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries\, and their networks across the Mediterranean. In line with this purpose\, I will focus on three scholars\, Gemistus Pletho (d. 1452)\, Abd al-Rahman al-Bistami (d. 1455)\, and Bedreddin of Simavna (d. 1420) who were representative of those complex and multivalent networks as well as members of clandestine scholarly organizations. While mapping out their scholarly network\, this presentation also hopes to point to a textual relationship through intercommunal discussions\, especially that between Platonism and Aristotelianism. In doing so\, it aims to offer fresh insights on intellectual history that go beyond limitations imposed by traditional methodologies\, unquestioned genres\, and undisputed literary and linguistic traditions.

An exploration with the functional connectivity of the whole-brain network DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAn ancient Latin phrase said “Mens sana in corpore sano”\, which translates to “a healthy mind in a healthy body”. Consistent with this wisdom\, social scientists have shown that poverty and other adversities in life often lead to worse physical health as well as impaired cognitive performances. Similarly\, aging is linked to deteriorating physical health and cognitive decline. Physical exercise\, on the other hand\, often improves cognition. So far\, however\, the nature of this link between the body and the brain is underexplored. In this talk\, I will present our recent research examining if biological health risk is associated with functional connectivity of the resting state whole-brain network. Results and implications of the findings will be discussed.

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:66521-16744964@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.

Within that context\, I’ll review the seeding and ongoing nurturing of two U-M services (Atlas and Problem Roulette) that share common themes of access and transparency. As examples of research enabled by these services\, I’ll present evidence showing that: (i) on average\, females study more for less reward in STEM subjects than male students\, and (ii) increased selectivity\, as measured by ACT/SAT scores\, is a minor factor driving undergraduate grades upward. The talk will close by inviting your thoughts and discussion on potential future directions for these and similar services.\n\nBIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Prof. August E. (Gus) Evrard is a first-generation computational cosmologist and an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Physics and Astronomy at U-M.

Magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD)\, particle-in-Cell (PIC)\, and test particle simulations are used to describe the dynamic evolution of the magnetotail\, associated with substorms (energy releases from the magnetotail) and other dipolarization events. Simulations show the formation of thin current sheets embedded in the wider plasma sheet due to solar wind interactions. PIC then demonstrates the onset of tearing instabilities and magnetic reconnection\, causing fast plasma flows and dipolarization. These phenomena are then followed by MHD simulations which form the basis of test particle simulations\, which pro-vide details on acceleration mechanisms\, and phase space distributions. Results compare favorably with THEMIS and MMS observations.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nJoachim Birn received his PhD. in 1973 at the Technical Univ. Berlin studying the Stability of the Planetary System. From 1973-82 he was at Ruhr-University Bochum working on equilibrium modeling and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the Earth’s magnetotail. In 1980 he was a visitor at Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL)\, where he extended his 2D MHD code to 3D\, simulating substorm dynamics of the magnetotail. From 1982 to 2012 he was at LANL continuing his simulation work\, working on satellite data interpretation and studying acceleration of ions and electrons in magnetospheric substorms. Since 2012 he is a Senior Research Scientist at the Space Science Institute in Boulder. Birn’s research experience includes 3D equilibrium theory\, development of 3D MHD codes with applications to magnetotail and solar corona dynamics\; and MHD stability theory on which he has published 260 refereed papers. Birn is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and LANL Fellow.

We review several concepts in reproducibility and describe how one can adopt a multiple testing perspective on the problem. This leads to an intuitive procedure for assessing reproducibility. We demonstrate application of the methodology using RNA-sequencing data as well as metabolomics datasets. We will also outline some further problems in the field.\n\nThis is joint work with Daisy Philtron\, Yafei Lyu and Qunhua Li (Penn State) and Tusharkanti Ghosh\, Weiming Zhang and Katerina Kechris (University of Colorado). \n\nDCMB Faculty Host: Alla Karnovsky\, PhD\n\n3:45 p.m. - Light Refreshments\n4:00 p.m. - Lecture\n\nBlueJeans Live Streaming: https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/live-event/rbuvycdc UID:68641-17128443@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68641 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191010T130558 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191113T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191113T172000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Macroeconomics DESCRIPTION:Details to come.

Tentler Collegiate Professor of History\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:Early modern Russia was an autocratic state ruled by a despotic tsar and a powerful Orthodox Church. Its population was largely illiterate. This combination of severely controlled expression and limited literacy makes it difficult to peer beyond official representations. Although harshly condemned by the authorities\, magical spells\, filled with dark poetry\, circulated widely. These spells offer a route to understanding how people of all social standings experienced and navigated life in a radically unfree and unequal society. Through the seemingly marginal economy of witchcraft\, we can see people accommodating to conditions of inequality and carving out paths to survival.

His piano-based songwriting style is influenced by artists of the 1970s (with more than a bit of Stevie Wonder) and by more recent artists such as Ryan Adams. Brendan released his debut full-length album\, \"The Day Is Brave\,\" on the Decca label in 2008 and a follow-up\, \"Brendan James\,\" two years later. He has been a headliner on the MTV Soundtracker tour and\, with Jason Reeves and Amber Rubarth\, on a tour sponsored by Vespa motor scooters on which he traveled along the West Coast on a Vespa to promote environmental awareness. He took an artistic hiatus and roared back stronger than ever. Since we saw him last\, Brendan has released a new EP\, \"Wish You Well\,\" and he has more new music on the way.

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

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:63992-16059405@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:20191114T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T180000 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.

Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. \n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public. \n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

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:66701-16770263@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:20191111T153928 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Defense: Functional characterization of selected chloroplast RNA-binding proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana DESCRIPTION:Mentor: Andrzej Wierzbicki\, Associate Professor\nMolecular\, Cellular & Developmental Biology UID:69315-17301844@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69315 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Dissertation Defense,Research LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Earl Lewis Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190920T130853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T163000 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.

Through software technology\, water contamination data is translated into sound waves.\n\nThe installation consists of speakers that play the ‘data sound tracks’\, which vibrate the water held in attached trays. The sonic vibrations create unique patterns to emerge in the water\, known as water cymatics. Participants hear and see the water vibrate based on the chemical concentrations in their water samples. \n\nRipple Effect travels to communities that neighbor resource extraction activity and aims to transform the way people understand their data in relation to their environment.

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:58562-15002309@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:63803-15884113@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988420@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

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.

Crises of Care: Violence\, Impunity\, and Hospitality along the Central American Migrant Trail DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, John Doering-White examines how grassroots migrant shelters that aid Central Americans transiting through Mexico rely on religious traditions of hospitality to align their work with state humanitarian frameworks while simultaneously distancing themselves from economies of corruption that allow for such widespread impunity. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork along the Central American migrant trail between 2014 and 2017\, Doering-White traces how religion allowed shelter workers to seek to maintain a single moral face while dialoguing with duplicitous state functionaries whom shelter workers presumed to be complicit in sustaining widespread impunity. Integrating scholarship that examines hospitality as both an ethical imperative and a calculated political performance\, he shows that duplicity is often central to pursuing humanitarian recognition via idealized human rights frameworks. He also considers how migrant shelters navigate the risks and rewards associated with broader recognition in the context of rising anti-immigrant sentiment both in the United States and across Mexico.\n \nJohn Doering-White\, Assistant Professor of Social Work and Anthropology at the University of South Carolina\, is an ethnographer of migration and community organizing. Since 2014\, Doering-White has conducted ethnographic fieldwork alongside humanitarian migrant shelters that aid Central Americans migrating undocumented through Mexico\, often by hopping freight trains. Doering-White is a graduate of the Joint Doctoral Program in Social Work and Anthropology at the University of Michigan.

Michael Strausz will answer this question by drawing on insights from nearly two years of intensive field research in Japan. In addition to answering this question by outlining the central argument of his 2019 book\, Help (Not) Wanted: Immigration Politics in Japan\, this presentation provide context to recent developments in Japanese immigration policy – particularly the December 2018 decision to admit more than 300\,000 low skilled foreign laborers. \n\nMichael Strausz is an Associate Professor of Political Science and the Director of Asian Studies at Texas Christian University. He earned his BA from Michigan State University and his MA and PhD from the University of Washington.

In the case of two-field generalizations of $\alpha$-attractor models with is a highly curved hyperbolic field-space manifold\, analytical progress can be made for preheating using the WKB approximation and Floquet analysis. I will show the emergence of a simple scaling behavior of the Floquet exponents for large values of the field-space curvature\, that enables a quick estimation of the reheating efficiency for any large value of the field-space curvature. In this regime one can observe and explain universal preheating features that arise for different values of the potential steepness. In general preheating is faster for larger negative values of the field-space curvature and steeper potentials. For very highly curved field-space manifolds preheating is essentially instantaneous.\nIn case of multi-field models with non-minimal couplings\, where the field-space in the Einstein frame is highly curved near the origin\, I will describe recent lattice simulations that have been used to capture significant nonlinear effects like backreaction and rescattering. I will show how we can we extract the effective equation of state and typical time-scales for the onset of thermalization\, quantities that could affect the usual mapping between predictions for primordial perturbation spectra and measurements of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation. For large values of the nonminimal coupling constants\, efficient particle production gives rise to nearly instantaneous preheating. Moreover\, the strong single-field attractor behavior that was identified for these models in linearized analyses remains robust in the full theory\, and in all cases considered the attractor persists until the end of preheating. Finally\, I will discuss the implications for Higgs inflation.

Sites with prominent buildings and production facilities in Inner Asia\, however\, evidence the development of permanent centers of intensive social\, economic\, and ritual activities among steppe pastoralists. Through remains of the first ‘proto-urban’ establishments of the first steppe empire (the Xiongnu\, ca. 200 BCE - 100 CE)\, I argue here that the components and arrangements of these urban settings would have been structured according to the logistical and social parameters of large herds and small-holder herding households that made up the majority of the populations that moved though and occupied such centers in the steppe. This study thus adapts concepts of ‘low-density’ urbanism and fluctuating ‘urban sprawls’ to formulate a model of extended pastoro-urban landscapes – a lattice of monumental structures as well as permanent workshops\, corralling and pasturing spaces\, and fluid yet structured residential areas\, equally defined by natural geography and built environments.

At co-living properties\, furnished private bedrooms and bathrooms are rented in larger\, often design-focused homes or buildings. The buildings feature amenities like sports areas\, movie theaters\, fully equipped kitchens\, and other perks that residents might not be able to afford living in larger urban center like London or New York. They also encourage community by organizing movie nights\, group dinners\, and other social occasions for residents who are often new to town and living solo.\n\nTanya’s co-living business\, Morton Place\, is focused on international professionals looking to stay short- or long-term in Brussels. As an undergrad at Michigan\, Tanya studied English\, worked at Bivouac\, and lived with roommates in a large house. Her living situation later inspired her idea for Morton Place.\n\nAfter graduation the bilingual English/French speaker moved to Paris (she graduated during a recession and says finding work was intimidating). She worked as an assistant at Christie’s Fine Art Auctioneers in their jewelry department\, cataloguing and working on client contact and event management\, before returning to the U.S. in 1994 to earn an MBA from Columbia Business School.\n\nThis workshop is intended for LSA Undergraduate Students.

Mendicant texts draw upon but revise the treatment of disability in other popular culture representations of “empty sleeves” and in U.S. pension law. As they challenge both the assumption of the sentimental reintegration of the wounded veteran into the individual and national family and the conception of disability as a neatly administrable category\, they offer instead a different vision: that of disability as a dynamic phenomenon whose full meaning is only determined by interpersonal relationships. At the same time\, the fact that a number of narrators chose to stretch or evade the truth in their narratives points to what David Serlin has termed “hierarchies of disability\,” wherein the cultural inclusion of some forms of disability merely tightens the criteria of “worthiness” for all disabled people. An understudied but fraught genre of disability life writing before the twentieth century\, Civil War mendicant texts raise questions about the relationship between disability and narrative\, the character of Civil War writing\, and the stakes of truthfulness in life writing by marginalized subjects.\n\nTo RSVP and receive a copy of the pre-circulated paper\, please email Ani Bezirdzhyan (abezirdz@umich.edu).\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Disability Studies Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop (RIW) group.

As stated in the National Climate Assessment\, “changes in extreme weather events are the primary way that most people experience climate change.” In this sense\, the characteristics of extreme weather are key indicators of climate change impacts\, at both local and regional scales. Understanding potential changes in the location\, intensity and structure of such extremes (e.g.\, tropical cyclones\, severe thunderstorms and flooding) is crucial in planning for future adaptation as these events have large economic and social costs.\n \nThe goal of this work is to better understand climate impacts on extreme weather events in various high-resolution configurations of the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) run at horizontal grid spacings of approximately 28 km and forced with prescribed sea-surface temperatures and greenhouse gas concentrations for past\, present\, and future climates. This analysis will include the evaluation of conventional (AMIP-style) decadal simulations typical of climate models\, short 7-day ensemble hindcasts of recent devastating events (e.g.\, Hurricane Florence in 2018)\, and reduced complexity simulations of idealized states of the climate system. Through this hierarchical modeling approach the impact of climate change on the characteristics (frequency\, intensity\, rainfall\, etc.) of extreme weather\, including tropical cyclones\, can be quantified.

Professor Nick Parziale\, Stevens Institute of Technology\, Department of Mechanical Engineering\n\nReacting/high-speed flow investigation with non-intrusive optical techniques permits researchers to probe fluid flows in harsh or otherwise previously inaccessible environments. New insight into the flow physics of the wicked problems in supersonic and hypersonic flows can be had with the clever application of recent advances in laser\, camera\, and electronics technologies. In this talk\, two examples of such efforts will be discussed. The first example is the previously unexplored boundary-layer instability on a slender cone in hypersonic\, reacting flow which was characterized by the implementation of focused laser differential interferometry (FLDI). The second example is a laser-based technique that measures velocity in a high-speed gas which utilizes trace amounts of krypton for the purposes of flow tagging called Krypton Tagging Velocimetry (KTV). Example results are given for a study of supersonic shock-wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction and characterization of Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) Hypervelocity Tunnel 9 at Mach 10 and Mach 14.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\nNick’s current research interests include high-speed and reacting flows\, chemical-thermodynamics\, and heat transfer with applications in the fields of defense and energy/sustainability. Current projects include novel methods of high-speed flow velocimetry\, hypersonic boundary-layer instability\, shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction\, biomass to bio-oil conversion\, and nitrogen-based fuels research.\n\nNick received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from SUNY Binghamton in 2008\, then received his MS and PhD degrees in 2009 and 2013 from the Caltech Graduate Aerospace Laboratories (GALCIT). In 2013\, he was a PostDoc at Caltech and then a Visiting Assistant Professor at Stevens. Currently\, Nick is currently an Assistant Professor (2014-present) in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken\, New Jersey. Nick spent four summers\, from 2014-2017\, as an Air Force Summer Faculty Fellow at AEDC White Oak in Silver Spring\, MD.

As a consequence\, X-linked hybrid sterility is often an early stage in the evolution of reproductive isolation. To understand why the X chromosome is a hotspot for the accumulation of hybrid sterility\, we have undertaken genetic and population genomic analysis of X-linked hybrid male sterility between two fruit fly sister species\, Drosophila mauritiana and D. simulans. We have identified multiple X-linked regions that are sufficient to cause male sterility when introgressed from D. mauritiana into a D. simulans genome. Spermatogenesis in sterile genotypes proceeds through meiosis but does not complete spermatid individualization. Most X-linked sterility results from incompatibly interactions with autosomal alleles\, but both genetic and cytological results indicate that one factor causes sterility through interactions with the heterospecific Y chromosome. Previous theory suggests that X-linked sterilizing incompatibilities may arise through the evolution of sex chromosome meiotic drive elements. We find evidence that both supports and rejects this theory\, as a known X-linked drive element recently migrated between these species and caused a strong reduction in local sequence divergence. Gene flow can therefore mediate the effects of selfish genetic elements during speciation.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/F0jiOjEsqa4 UID:67829-16958325@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67829 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191018T103445 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T172000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human rights on the brink DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public.

The subject of popular writing workshops and major reprint series by both trade and experimental publishing houses\, it caters to a desire for novelness in a moment of compressed time for writers and readers alike. But what is it about the form that drives our love of it? How does the relationship between time and technology structure its compelling status as well as the narratives of its history chosen to contextualize it? My examples\, from the crucial subgenre of the SF novella as well as its experimental counterparts\, will suggest that the mechanics of narrative length and ambition have been mobilized by contemporary writers and readers alike through the novella to reflexively recast relationships between fiction\, media\, and genre.\n\n\nKate Marshall is associate professor of English at the University of Notre Dame\, where she also serves on the faculty of the history and philosophy of science. She is the author of Corridor: Media Architectures in American Fiction (2013)\, and articles on technology\, media\, and narrative. She is co-editor of the Post45 book series at Stanford University Press and is on the collective’s editorial board. She has just completed a study of the desire for nonhuman narration in contemporary literature and theory that traces its history in the old\, weird American fiction of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

We’re excited to welcome not one\, but two keynote speakers -- Angie and Dan Bastian\, the co-founders of BOOMCHICKAPOP -- to the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business.Angie and Dan Bastian took a kernel of an idea and popped it into one of the fastest growing brands of natural popcorn. The duo will discuss how they disrupted the snack industry in an exciting conversation moderated by the University of Michigan’s very own Marcus Collins. It started in 2001 in their Mankato garage where Angie and Dan began popping kettle corn to sell at local markets\, carnivals\, and events. What began as a college fund nest egg for their children and a way to teach them the value of hard work has grown into a financially successful business with an incredibly meaningful brand. Angie and Dan wanted to provide a great tasting healthy snack\, made from clean ingredients with nothing fake\, but they also wanted to build a brand that speaks to women in a new way -- they wanted to respect and celebrate female consumers and encourage a positive relationship with food. This empowering and values-driven brand message is not surprising as Dan started as a high school teacher and Angie as a nurse\, so serving and supporting others has always been core to them.Their profitable popcorn business with a powerful brand attracted two rounds of Private Equity investment and ultimately a strategic sale to Conagra Brands in the fall of 2017. Angie and Dan have both been recognized for their success\, entrepreneurship\, and contributions. Both have been recipients of the 2015 ACG BOLD Award for corporate growth\, and they shared Connect Business Magazine’s 2012 Person of the Year award and appeared on the Martha Stewart Show. Dan was named St. John’s University Entrepreneur of the Year in 2014\, and Angie’s has twice won Star Tribune’s Top Workplaces honor. Additionally\, Girls Scouts Centennial celebration honored Angie as a pioneering Trailblazer. She is a 2015 Inductee to the Minnesota Women Business Owner’s Hall of Fame and was awarded Pioneer in Food of Women’s Entrepreneurship Day at the United Nations 2017. Angie has been featured in the Huffington Post\, quoted in Forbes Magazine\, and featured in the Wall Street Journal. More information about the Symposium can be found HERE.

Four seasons of geophysical prospection in the region led to the identification of architectural features of different form and scale to the monumental temples\, palaces\, and pyramids that had been the focus of archaeological research in the region up until this point. A preliminary excavation season earlier this year confirmed the results of the geophysical survey\, in addition to providing dates and some tantalizing finds\, including a deposit of seal impressions. When put together\, our research forms the basis for a new understanding of Kushite urbanism in the region and gives us a clear roadmap for our future work at Jebel Barkal.\n\nPresented by Field Archaeology Series on Thursday\; sponsored by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, the Department of Classical Studies\, and the Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology.\n\nReception at the Kelsey Museum at 5:30 PM\, lecture to follow at 6:00 PM.\n\nFAST lectures are free and open to the public.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please call the Kelsey at 734-647-4167 at least two weeks in advance.

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

This event will feature University of Michigan's own Dr. Bethany Hughes's work in native performance\, The Aadizookaan's Sacramento Knoxx\, and Māria Apera-Jones of Wellington\, New Zealand. Our hope is to gain further understanding of how indigenous peoples locally as well as abroad relate to movement and experience these artists' usage of traditional knowledge systems as a way to spread wellness to their communities and themselves. \n\nThe Aadizookaan's Sacramento Knoxx shares their perspective through creative storytelling. Aadizookaan means “the sacred spirit of the story.” They use ancestral indigenous-based knowledge systems to produce storytelling experiences via a variety of methods including music\, film\, and design. \n\nMāria Apera-Jones\, Pōneke Women’s Rugby and Wellington Indoor Netball U23’s Black\, Drill and Field Coach is traveling from Wellington\, New Zealand. She is to explain how action has been a part of her healing and survival as well as perform with The University of Michigan’s Women's Rugby Football club. Māria has been instrumental in uniting communities through physicality\, Te Reo Maori\, and cultural tradition. She creates a synonymous expectation that brings pakeha and Pasifika\, Aboriginal and Indigenous peoples together. Her strength is a tribute to the future of a united community. She is a testament of how individuality through culture breads a greater community: whanau/family. \n\nAs we combine these acts\, we can showcase indigenous art in many forms\, while also highlighting how art can have a therapeutic effect on those participating in its creation and those watching and experiencing it. We want to be able to honor the struggle of native communities across the world while celebrating these communities’ strength and resilience. We also want to emphasize the commonality all communities have when it comes to the use of art and movement as a form of healing and connection to others in order to bring indigenous and non-indigenous communities together.

Odessa Ortiz\, Elliot’s mother and a recovering addict\, is the founder and administrator of an online chatroom for other recovering addicts\, helping them stay on the straight and narrow. Odessa’s online chatroom brings people together for comfort and support who may have never met otherwise\, as her real-life family is splintering at a rapid pace. Inventive and timely\, Quiara Alegría Hudes’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Water by the Spoonful is a powerful\, compassionate look at the meaning of family\, and the burdens we must carry to protect it. \n\nWater by the Spoonful gets its name from the restorative power of water. The play was commissioned by Hartford Stage while Quiara Alegría Hudes (who also wrote the book for the Tony Award-winning In The Heights) was an Aetna New Voices Fellow. The play debuted in October\, 2011 to strong reviews\, with one critic describing it as “one of the best new plays I’ve seen in years” (Frank Rizzo\, The Hartford Courant). It received a similar welcome when it opened Off-Broadway in 2013\, and won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2012. “A combination poem\, prayer\, and app on how to cope in an age of uncertainty\, speed\, and chaos” (Variety)\, Water by the Spoonful is a thought-provoking and heartwarming piece about finding and granting forgiveness\, to yourself and others\n\nWater by the Spoonful contains strong language and sensitive themes including PTSD\, addiction\, and suicide.

The band's name came from a story their mother made up about a girl by that name who calls the Greek gods to Earth. The Hölljes siblings grew up partly in North Carolina and partly in the San Francisco Bay Area\, and both places contributed strands to their musical DNA. After college\, they moved into a house in the forest and set about finding their musical voice. Their early shows were legendary. \"A lot of times we’d come down off stage and sing something in the middle of the audience\, or be screaming out as opposed to singing in order to convey the emotion\, to find something primal that will affect people\,\" Ian recalls.

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

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059406@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:20191115T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T180000 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.

Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. \n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public. \n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

Abstract below:\n\n“Cosmic Realism”\n\n In this chapter\, I focus on how scale and perspective interact with materialist fantasies in contemporary realist fiction and in the larger cultural debates surrounding it. By attending to forms of diffuse narrative sentience moving through the novel\, I discuss two kinds of narrative reach for radical exteriority\, exemplified in texts by Marilynne Robinson and Teju Cole. These frustrated attempts at nonhuman narration either attempt to locate consciousness in wildly distant objects and materials\, or are eliminative\, trying to imagine a world or narrative outside of consciousness or human knowledge. I situate both attempts in a history of realist theory that has had much more room for nonhuman narrative than our most recent engagements with it have remembered.

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:66701-16770264@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:20191115T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T163000 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.

Through software technology\, water contamination data is translated into sound waves.\n\nThe installation consists of speakers that play the ‘data sound tracks’\, which vibrate the water held in attached trays. The sonic vibrations create unique patterns to emerge in the water\, known as water cymatics. Participants hear and see the water vibrate based on the chemical concentrations in their water samples. \n\nRipple Effect travels to communities that neighbor resource extraction activity and aims to transform the way people understand their data in relation to their environment.

In practice exact matches are rare\, particularly if there are many measured covariates. Instead\, matches may be made within calipers (Althauser & Rubin\, 1970) of a unidimensional index. Modern indices arise by modeling specific aspects of the data. The most widely used matching indices are propensity scores (Rosenbaum & Rubin\, 1983)\, followed by risk or prognostic scores (Miettinen\, 1976\; Hansen\, 2008).\n\nAdjudicating how close is close enough for matching is the murkiest aspect of the undertaking. Heuristics in wide use today pre-date the use of model-based matching indices\, fail to adapt to the size of the model and sample\, and lack theoretical support. In some cases these heuristics allow pairings of demonstrably dissimilar subjects\; in others they declare wide swaths of the sample to be unmatchable\, needlessly wasting data.\n\nThis talk presents a new way to determine calipers. Compatible with common index model specifications\, its widths diminish as n increases\, toward an asymptote of 0. If the index model is consistently estimated\, then matched contrast-based impact estimates will be consistent as well\, provided matches are made within these diminishing calipers. This result assumes no hidden bias\, an untestable condition\, alongside of additional conditions that can be enforced. In particular\, it restricts growth of the index parameter's dimension relative to n\, to a rate intermediate to those required for ordinary M-estimates to be consistent or root-n consistent (He & Shao\, 2000).

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:58562-15002310@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:63803-15884114@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988421@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
