We performed ATAC-seq in human iPSC-derived neurons\, and identified thousands of variants affecting chromatin accessibility. Such variants are highly enriched with risk variants of a range of brain disorders. We computationally fine-mapped causal variants and experimentally tested their activities using CRISPRi followed by single cell RNA-seq. Our work provides a framework for prioritizing noncoding disease variants.\n\nThe second part of my talk will be focused on genetics of N6-methyladenosine (m6A)\, a common form of mRNA modification. m6A plays an important role in regulating various aspects of mRNA metabolism in eukaryotes. However\, little is known about how DNA sequence variations may affect the m6A modification and the role of m6A in common diseases. We mapped genetic variants associated with m6A levels in 60 Yoruba lymphoblast cell lines. By leveraging these variants\, our analysis provides novel insights of mechanisms regulating m6A installation\, and downstream effects of m6A on other molecular traits such as translation rate. Integrated analysis with GWAS data reveals m6A variation as an important mechanism linking genetic variations to complex diseases.\n\nBlueJeans livestreaming link: https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/live-event/rbuvycdc\n\n3:45 p.m. - Light Refreshments\n4:00 p.m. - Lecture UID:68972-17205312@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68972 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Human Genetics,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:20191120T181633 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191120T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191120T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The Joys and Challenges in Changing to the Scale Up Paradigm DESCRIPTION:Even before Purdue opened its Active Learning Center\, I staked my claim to a room designed according to the SCALE UP model.

Although the origins of this phenomenon can be traced to the Renaissance (and beyond)\, the real flourishing of courtesy treatises started in the 18th century\, partially due to the spread of French language and manners throughout European courts. Their sheer number is staggering\, yet we still know very little not only about their audience but also about their authors or compilers. With some notable exceptions\, such as Baldassare Castiglione’s Il Cortegiano and Baltasar Gracián’s Oráculo\, even less attention is paid to their translations. But if we take much less famous treatises\, the fact is that most of them were translated at least into one – and more often into several – European languages. For example\, many books of Abbé de Bellegarde\, a prolific distributor of advice\, were rendered into English\, German\, Portuguese\, Polish and Russian. When we compare these translations with the originals (the “originality” of the originals is another problem to be dealt with)\, it becomes obvious that not all advice was “translatable” either because of political implications or because of linguistic difficulties (the absence of relevant vocabulary in the target language). This paper is part of a research project that attempts to trace the network of translations of the 17th and the 18th century’s courtesy books. It will focus on English and Russian translations of Jacques de Callières’ and Abbé de Bellegarde’s treatises. \n\n\nNational Peculiarity of Boredom: English spleen\, French l’ennui\, Russian khandra.\n\nNatalia Mazur is Professor of History of Art and Provost\, European University at St. Petersburg:\n\nIn the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries\, many European philosophers\, theologians\, physicians and writers agreed that boredom was the main malady of their time. However\, the nature and the causes of boredom were explained differently in different countries. The English considered spleen\, or the “English malady\,” a serious disease often leading to suicide: people afflicted by spleen looked for medical help. The French saw the roots of l’ennui in human psychology or in the structure of the society: one could escape l’ennui through religion or revolution. The protagonists of the best Russian novels – from Pushkin's Eugene Onegin to Goncharov's Ilya Oblomov – were looking for a remedy against boredom. What has happened to boredom in the last two centuries\, what do we call it today\, and how can the history of emotions help us escape it?

Space\, Time\, and Unusual Human Bodies in Buddhism DESCRIPTION:First Annual Luis Gómez Memorial Lecture\n\nTaking the ordinary human body as a baseline\, Buddhist authors sometimes chose to imagine the human body in an exaggerated way\, on a scale utterly beyond the realm of human experience. Human bodies that extend through space until they reach the ends of the universe\; human bodies that contain everything in the universe\; human bodies whose individual body-parts are multiplied until they reach almost-infinite numbers\; human bodies whose lifespans stretch throughout eons of time to approach eternity—all of these constitute Buddhist examples of using the human body as a “corporeal code” by means of which human beings give voice to that which is immaterial\, unimaginable\, and otherwise unfathomable. This talk will examine the Buddhist use of human bodies on a non-human scale to give voice to immaterial and otherwise hard-to-conceptualize entities.

Though the Russian\, Iranian\, and Young Turk Revolutions all exploded between 1904 and 1911\, they have never been studied through their linkages until now. “Roving Revolutionaries” probes the interconnected aspects of these three revolutions through the involvement of the Armenian revolutionaries—minorities in all of these empires. Armenian revolutionary movements and Armenian participation within and across frontiers tell us a great deal about the global transformations that were taking shape. Exploring the geographical and ideological boundary crossings\, this archivally grounded analysis of the circulation of revolutionaries\, ideas\, and print tells the story of peoples and ideologies in upheaval and their practices of collaborating. In doing so\, the talk will illuminate our understanding of revolutions and movements.\n\nDr. Houri Berberian is Professor of History\, Meghrouni Family Presidential Chair in Armenian Studies\, and Director of the Armenian Studies Program at the University of California\, Irvine. She is the author of a number of articles and two books\, “Armenians and the Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1911: The Love for Freedom Has No Fatherland” (Perseus\, 2011) and\, most recently\, “Roving Revolutionaries: Armenians and Connected Revolutions in the Russian\, Iranian\, and Ottoman Worlds” (UC Press\, 2019).\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

She was recently featured on NPR's \"Fresh Air\" and has been compared to Sandy Denny and Vashti Bunyan. Joan is a songwriter and singer from Louisville. She draws inspiration from traditional and traditionally minded performers from her native Kentucky\, as well as those from Ireland\, Scotland\, and England\, but she’s not a folksinger. Her disposition aligns more closely with that of\, say\, Roger Miller\, Dolly Parton\, or her fellow Kentuckian Tom T. Hall\, who once explained—simply\, succinctly\, in a song—\"I Witness Life.\" Joan has shared shows with the likes of Bonnie \"Prince\" Billy\, Wilco\, Chris Smither\, Andrew Bird\, and Richard Thompson\, and Jeff Tweedy produced her 2017 record \"Joan Shelley\" at The Loft in Chicago.

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:63992-16059412@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:20191121T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191121T180000 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.

Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed and considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled? \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAs part of his residency\, Sawyer also worked with U-M students to create a mural to honor Samuel C. Watson\, the first African American student admitted to the University of Michigan. The mural is on view on the first floor of MLB.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, and curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan. His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual and collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit. Sawyer is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. His passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth including various community arts programs throughout New York\, where he served as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. He earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University. In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

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.

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:66701-16770270@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:20191013T113743 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191121T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191121T113000 SUMMARY:Other:Making Voting More Convenient: Implementing Michigan’s Proposal 3 (Promote the Vote) DESCRIPTION:Passage of Proposal 3 in November\, 2018\, amended the Michigan Constitution by adding a list of voting rights\, which include “no reason absentee” voting and expanding voter registration options.

Patton DESCRIPTION:Department of Biomedical Engineering Final Oral Examination\n \nDaniella M. Patton\n \nChanges in Femoral Microstructure Following Injury and with Aging\n \nThe ACL\, a tendon connected to the distal femur\, has little regenerative capacity. In consequence\, surgical intervention is required if a patient hopes to remain active following ACL injury. In addition to the long recovery time and associated morbidities (e.g.\, osteoarthritis) following surgery\, up to 12% of the primary reconstructed ACL grafts will fail within 15 years. Revision reconstructions are inferior to primary ACL reconstructions\, thus\, understanding the mechanism of failure is critical to mitigate worst case outcomes. Reasons for revision risk has largely focused on technical errors despite that biological factors may also be a cause. Bone\, a biological factor\, decreases in mass following ACL injury. However\, how bone microstructure changes following injury has remained largely unexplored.\n \nWe determined that bone microstructure vastly differs on a patient-by-patient basis undergoing ACL reconstructive surgery. Differences in microarchitecture could not be explained by time from injury to operation (i.e.\, time of disuse) or activity the patient was participating in at the moment of injury. Thus\, differences in bone quality is due to variability present at baseline\, in response to injury\, and/or activity level following injury. Clinically\, these findings are important because we are the first to show that bone quality drastically varies across patient groups\, pointing out that microstructure may be an important factor to consider in assessing ACL injury risk and surgical outcomes.\n \nThe second half of this thesis compared age-related and sex-specific differences in bone microstructure to whole bone strength in the proximal femur with the long term goal of improving diagnostic methods to assess osteoporotic hip fracture risk. Hip fragility fractures are costly\, associated with a severe decrease in the quality of life\, and nearly half of patients (>65 years) who suffer a hip fracture never regain normal function. Unfortunately\, approximately fifty percent of patients that experience a hip fracture receive no prophylactic treatment prior to fragility fracture because they are not diagnosed as osteoporotic using current clinical diagnostic methods. Both bone mass and microstructure change with age and the progression of osteoporosis. However\, technical limitations have made it difficult to measure fracture risk from a biomechanical perspective - relating proximal femur bone strength and microstructure in synergy.\n \nWe determined that the magnitude of sex-specific differences in bone strength was greater than age-related strength loss endured throughout life. Further\, there was no sex-specific difference in the rate of loss observed herein. Clinically\, these findings demonstrate that if females could maximize bone quality early in life\, they may be able to maintain the structural strength later on\, even with bone loss\, to mitigate fragility fractures altogether. Further\, mechanical variables (i.e.\, stiffness and post-yield-displacement) and demographic data (i.e.\, age and sex) could not adequately explain variability in whole bone strength. Microstructural analysis in the femoral neck improved our ability to predict whole bone strength\, but demonstrated that sub-regional microstructural detail only modestly improved strength predictability in comparison to average measures across the femoral neck. Despite this\, we found that increased levels of micro-architectural detail are needed to identify sex-specific differences in whole bone strength. Clinically\, these findings demonstrate that regional analysis may be useful for identifying those at greatest risk of fracture earlier in life and in a sex-specific manner.

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:58562-15002315@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:63803-15884119@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.

Light refreshments will be provided.\n\nWork-family conflict is one of the central foci in gender inequality scholarship. Existing research has mostly considered the conflict as an incompatibility of commitments predominantly experienced by women. In this talk\, I capitalize on China’s termination of the one-child policy in 2016\, and introduce individuals’ perceived incompatibility of rights as another key dimension. Using a mixed-methods design that combines national surveys and in-depth interviews\, I demonstrate that individuals espousing gender egalitarian beliefs\, which emphasize women’s right to work over the primacy of women’s roles as wives and mothers\, more strongly support the state’s role in limiting births. This support is underlain by the perception and experience that for women\, work and family are incompatible beyond competing commitments: The expansion of individuals’ right to parent is viewed as at the expense of women’s right to work. Three interlocking forces underscore individuals’\, particularly women’s\, perception and experience of work-family conflict as an incompatibility of rights: 1) Macro-level reproductive and family policies that view women foremost as mothers and caregivers\, from a state that exerts strong power over its citizens\; 2) Meso-level discriminatory labor market conditions with limited recourse for claims-making\; and 3) Micro-level gendered division of care work and normative expectations of women’s and men’s roles and responsibilities in marriage\, procreating\, and parenting.

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.

Even though this is a fundamental principle in ecology\, it has been observed empirically that in some settings it will fail. One example is Hutchinson's `paradox of the plankton'. This is an instance where a large number of phytoplankton species coexist while competing for a very limited number of resources. Both experimental and theoretical studies have shown that in some instances (deterministic) temporal fluctuations of the environment can facilitate coexistence for competing species. Hutchinson conjectured that one can get coexistence because non-equilibrium conditions would make it possible for different species to be favored by the environment at different times. In this talk I will look at how environmental noise interacts with competitive exclusion. I will show that\, contrary to Hutchinson's explanation\, one can switch between two environments in which the same species is favored and still get coexistence.

Lawrence called the western Mediterranean island of Sardinia an unsubdued landscape “outside the circuit of civilization\,” never fully colonized by Romans\, Phoenicians\, or Greeks. This view is representative of wider scholarly perceptions\, which have generally considered the coastal colonies of ancient traders separately from the rural\, inland landscapes inhabited by the indigenous populations. In order to break down this binary\, Sinis Archaeological Project explores ancient colonial interaction\, landscape use\, and resource exploitation in the coastal and inland landscapes of west-central Sardinia. Dr. Gosner will provide a preliminary report of our first two seasons of landscape survey\, held in 2018 and 2019. She discusses the methodology for our multi-scalar survey\, discuss the preliminary results from our survey of an inland agricultural zone\, and assess how survey can provide a clearer picture of Phoenician\, Punic\, and Roman strategies for colonization and trade on the island.

African Mathematics: Dzimbahwe Cosmologies\, Methods\, & Applications DESCRIPTION:In his current book project\, entitled African Chemistry: Science with an African Totem\, Chakanetsa asks the question: What does it mean to talk about African chemistry as imagined and practiced by Africans? Not simply western chemistry in African hands\, but African-originated ideas and modes of chemistry\, and the implications of taking these historical\, philosophical\, cultural\, and technical understandings seriously with respect to Africa’s sustainable development. The book starts from endogenous modes of chemistry\, through their encounters with incoming European influences\, to the present in which young Africans are reclaiming indigenous foods\, medicines\, metallurgy\, etc. and turning them into vibrant commercial product\, value chain\, and livelihood innovations. African Chemistry marks the beginning of an “African Science” book series which over the next decade will extend Chakanetsa’s research and writing to African physics\, biology\, medicine\, mathematics/computation\, engineering\, science fiction\, and digital innovation. The talk isolates and provides an early reading of the African chemistry material\, reflecting with the audience implications of these archives\, histories\, and philosophies of science from Africa for the global histories and current and future practices of science\, technology\, and innovation.

Professor Alexandra Klass from the University of Minnesota Law School will discuss recent developments in U.S. energy law\, policy\, economics\, and technology. Although President Trump and his cabinet Secretaries\, particularly at the Interior Department\, Energy Department\, and Environmental Protection Agency\, have announced dramatic policy shifts away from those pursued during the Obama Administration\, the new administration’s ability to accomplish its goals is in some instances helped and in other instances hindered by existing federal and state laws as well as private sector technology and economic trends. Topics will include the shift away from the use of coal and toward natural gas and renewable energy in the electricity sector\; the use of federal public lands to develop oil\, natural gas\, coal\, wind\, and solar energy\; developments in technology and law associated with hydraulic facturing (\"fracking\")\; and controversies over new oil and gas pipelines such as the Dakota Access and Keystone XL Pipelines. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\nProfessor Alexandra B. Klass teaches and writes in the areas of energy law\, environmental law\, natural resources law\, tort law\, and property law. Her recent scholarly work\, published in many of the nation’s leading law journals\, addresses regulatory challenges to integrating more renewable energy into the nation’s electric grid\, transportation electrification\, oil and gas transportation infrastructure\, and the use of eminent domain for electric transmission lines and pipelines. She is a co-author of Energy Law: Concepts and Insights Series (Foundation Press 2017)\, Energy Law and Policy (West Academic Publishing 2d ed. 2018)\, Natural Resources Law: A Place-Based Book of Problems and Cases (Wolters Kluwer\, 4th ed.\, 2018)\, and The Practice and Policy of Environmental Law (Foundation Press\, 4th ed. 2017). Professor Klass was named the Stanley V. Kinyon Teacher of the Year for 2009-2010\, and she served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs from 2010-2012. She was a Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School in 2015. She is a Distinguished McKnight University Professor and in prior years was the Julius E. Davis Professor of Law and the Solly Robins Distinguished Research Fellow. \n\nPrior to her teaching career\, Professor Klass was a partner at Dorsey & Whitney LLP in Minneapolis\, where she specialized in environmental law\, natural resources\, and land use matters. During her years in private practice from 1993-2004\, she handled cases in federal and state trial and appellate courts involving contaminated property\, wetlands\, environmental review\, mining\, environmental rights\, zoning\, eminent domain\, and environmental torts. She clerked for the Honorable Barbara B. Crabb\, Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin from 1992-1993.

We present new results of three\nsequential facility-location models that involve (i) competition and\nprobabilistic customer choice\, (ii) location prioritization given uncertain\nbudget\, and (iii) location-dependent uncertain demand with ambiguously known distribution. For (i)\, we utilize submodularity and outer approximation to derive valid inequalities used as cuts to efficiently solve an exact mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) reformulation of the bilevel Stackelberg game. For (ii) and (iii)\, we derive multi-stage mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) and MINLP formulations based on moment ambiguity sets of unknown distribution of the stochastic demand. We employ the Stochastic Dual Dynamic integer Programming (SDDiP) for solving the multi-stage MILP/MINLP formulations using scenario-tree representations of the uncertainty. Via numerical studies\, we show the computational efficacy of our approach as well as managerial insights of the new facility location models.\n\nBio: Siqian Shen is an Associate Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan and also serves as an Associate Director in the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE).

Here we examine the coupled nature of these populations and the role of wave-particle interactions in transferring energy and momentum among them. In particular\, we focus on the highly dynamic radiation belts\, which often exhibit dramatic variations in intensity and spatial extent. Utilizing the growing constellation of spacecraft in Earth’s magnetosphere\, including recent CubeSat and balloon measurements\, we explore loss of electrons from the outer radiation belt\, as well as the potential drivers of this loss. Through multi-point measurements\, we are able to disentangle spatial and temporal evolution and estimate scale sizes of various processes. Looking forward\, we will also discuss an upcoming CubeSat mission\, GTOSat\, which will pave the way for future affordable magnetospheric constellation missions. These studies aid in the understanding of outer radiation belt dynamics and the relationship between precipitating energetic electrons\, electromagnetic waves\, and global magnetospheric conditions.

As part of this overhaul\, a range of reforms were instituted to modernize anatomical and medical studies thereby placing Spanish science on a more secure footing with the rest of Europe. During this period of transformation\, the study of life and death and the emergence of new developments in the practice of resuscitation opened promising avenues of research for exploring the wonders of the human body. Yet\, as Fernández-Medina will argue through the work of some of Spain’s foremost physicians and thinkers\, it also sparked one of the fiercest debates in the Spanish Enlightenment on the expansion of scientific knowledge and its role in modern society.\n\nProfessor Fernández-Medina specializes in late eighteenth- to early twentieth-century Spanish literature\, philosophy\, and intellectual history\, including Enlightenment thought\, philosophy of science and the body\, social history of ideas in medicine\, modernist aesthetics\, and the avant-garde.\n\nHe is the author of Life Embodied: The Promise of Vital Force in Spanish Modernity (McGill-Queen’s UP\, 2018)\, Modernism and the Avant-garde Body in Spain and Italy (co-edited with Maria Truglio\, New York: Routledge\, 2016)\, and The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado’s ‘Proverbios y cantares’ (U of Wales P\, 2011). His current book\, Raising the Dead: The Science and Literature of Resuscitation in Spain explores Spanish modernity’s unending fascination with the life/death divide and analyzes the numerous social narratives of existence and mortality that have shaped Spain’s cultural imaginary.

Reducing the propellant required\, can lead to longer space exploration mission lifetimes and ranges. Alternatively\, replacing some propellant with more scientific instruments would yield greater scientific return. A key to reducing the propellant required is to design space missions that exploit the natural dynamics. The past decades have seen significant research in this direction\, leading to novel low-energy trajectory design methods based on dynamical systems theory\, opening up a whole new class of possible space exploration missions. This is still an expanding area of research\, incorporating newer technologies such as solar-electric propulsion and solar sails. This seminar will primarily focus on missions around irregular bodies such as asteroids. In these regimes\, the orbital and attitude dynamics are significantly more coupled than in regimes near spherical bodies such as planets\, providing the possibility of using the spacecraft’s attitude to affect the orbital trajectory. A suitable gravitational model will be presented\, as well as analysis to understand how the gravitational force varies with a spacecraft’s attitude\, and how this can be exploited to modify the orbital trajectory. Future research directions will also be discussed.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nAnton H.J. de Ruiter is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in the department of Aerospace Engineering at Ryerson University in Toronto\, Canada. He received the Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2005. Between 2006 and 2008 he was a visiting research fellow at the Canadian Space Agency in Montreal\, and an assistant professor in the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University from 2009 to 2012. His current research interests are in the area of space systems\, astrodynamics\, space robotics and space mission design. He serves as Editor-In-Chief of the Proceedings of the IMechE\, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering\, and as Associate Editor in the area of space systems for the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems. He is the primary author of the book “Spacecraft Dynamics and Control: An Introduction”\, published in January 2013 by John Wiley and Sons\, which is used as course and reference text at a number of universities around the world.

DESCRIPTION:The importance of biodiversity to ecosystem functions such as biomass production and carbon storage is a key question in basic ecology\, where it has been investigated largely through small-scale experiments and theory. It is also a key assumption in the conservation world that maintaining ecosystem services requires maintaining biodiversity. The role of biodiversity in ecosystem service provision in real-world landscapes is far from clear scientifically\, however\, in part because new conceptual approaches are required to even frame the question at these larger scales. In this talk I will discuss how my research program is tackling this problem.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/ortGYFbEWpo\n\nSponsored by the U-M Museum of Zoology Theodore H.

Sawyer and curator Amanda Krugliak\, followed by Q & A and reception. \n\nAbout Tylonn J. Sawyers exhibition \"WHITE HISTORY MONTH VOL. 1\" at the Institute for the Humanities gallery Nov. 18 - Dec 19.\n\nMining symbols of power and oppression from the historical strata of western art\, Sawyer exposes truths\, while covering others to gain a clearer picture of concepts that have shaped our current society. Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed? Can this thread be considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled? \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, & curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan. His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual & collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit\, Michigan. Tylonn is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. Sawyer’s passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth. He has worked with various community arts programs throughout New York\, serving as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. Tylonn earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University. In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

Cultivating Islamic Humanities in the 16th century Ottoman Context: An Integrative Approach to the Shaykh al-Islâm Ibn Kamâl's Corpus DESCRIPTION:This presentation is based on Ekiz's tentative dissertation project\, which looks into the Islamicate humanities through one of the most distinguished members of early 16th century Ottoman scholarly class\, the chief jurisconsult and scholar-littérateur Sh̲ams al-dīn Aḥmad b. Sulaymān b. Kamāl Pas̲h̲a\, known as Kemalpaşazade or Ibn Kamal. Having vastly produced in various branches of knowledge\, he is known for his encyclopedic\, multilingual\, cosmopolitan erudition. Taking up an integrative approach which attempts at dealing with his scholarship without compartmentalizing it according to disparate sciences\, I aim at understanding the methods that bring seemingly contradictory epistemologies together\, namely Akbarian monism\, Avicennan philosophy and the late Ashari speculative theology. Could we talk about a synthesizing\, universalist project that Kemalpaşazade deliberately employs to create an Ottoman orthodoxy? I argue that orthodoxy\, Sunnitization or confessionalization do not do full justice to the agenda pursued by cosmopolitan Ottoman scholars by overlooking humanistic aspect of Ottoman “scholasticism”. Therefore\, my presentation is going to focus on how the study of humanities\, of literary and linguistic sciences came to be the primary pursuit of a certain class of Ottoman scholars. My project also tries to contribute to the long- neglected field of Islamicate paideia and understudied post-classical Islamic thought.

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!

During the Lake Stanley low water phase (10\,000–7500 cal BP)\, the AAR formed a dry land corridor linking northeastern lower Michigan with south-central Ontario. Archaeological explorations of the AAR have demonstrated that it was a focus of early human activity during Lake Stanley times. Stone hunting structures preserved on the AAR are among the oldest dated examples on the planet and the lithic industry is unlike anything known in the Great Lakes region. The range of hunting and fishing activities is likewise novel and unlike contemporary sites on land.\n\nThis talk describes both the techniques of underwater research that the University of Michigan team has developed for investigating these submerged sites and summarizes some of the most recent findings surfacing from the research.\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society.\nTo learn more about the MAS\, please visit http://www.miarch.org/\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible.

We’re committed to achieving this bold goal. Through the Artemis program\, we will go to the Moon in a way we have never gone before – with innovative new partnerships\, technologies and systems to explore the entire lunar surface. Then we will use what we learn on the Moon to take the next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.”\n- NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine\n\n\nThink you have issues with sibling rivalry? Or do you get along with your favorite brother or sister? NASA has named its new program to return to the Earth’s moon “Artemis”\, the twin sister of Apollo and Greek mythological goddess of the Moon. With plans to land the first woman and next man on the Lunar South Pole by 2024\, U.S. space policy provides the direction for NASA to more effectively organize government\, commercial and international efforts to develop a sustainable presence on the Moon and beyond. Come hear one of NASA’s senior managers talk about NASA’s exploration campaign which cuts across three strategic areas: low-Earth orbit\, the Moon\, and Mars & deeper into space and how American leadership will drive an open\, sustainable and agile architecture\, with international and commercial partners\, to get astronauts back on the lunar surface as quickly as possible via the Artemis Program.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nThroughout her successful 30 year NASA career\, Trudy Kortes has developed a unique speaking style and brand of leadership\, championing compelling tools that elevate leaders and their ability to connect. Her strong reputation for maneuvering technically challenging and complex workplace dynamics to meet objectives and empower leaders and teams is indisputable. And as the winner of the 2017 NASA Headquarters talent show for stand-up comedy\, it is her authentic\, relatable presence that is perhaps most powerful. \n\nTrudy offers speaking\, panel moderation\, career mentoring\, and consulting services on a variety of leadership and workplace topics. Her focus is on helping women in STEM fields excel and raising across-the-board awareness of the challenges faced along the way as a means to help shift the collective mindset towards one of a healthy\, holistic work environment that can meet the demands of a changing world.

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:63992-16059413@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:20191122T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

The workshop will be hosted jointly by the Nam Center for Korean Studies as part of University of Michigan’s Perspectives on Contemporary Korea conference series.\n\nThis year’s gathering focuses on the culture of division. The recent\, highly publicized crossings of the Thirty-Eighth Parallel by Kim Jong-un\, Moon Jae-in\, and Donald Trump have dramatized the possible dissolution in the foreseeable future of what South Korean critic Paik Nak-chung has called the “division system”: the interdependence of seemingly hostile actors borne of and sustained by the partition of the Korean peninsula. As a defining feature of Northeast Asian geopolitics since the second half of the twentieth century\, the division system gave rise to extreme and violent forms of physical\, linguistic\, and cultural territorializations even as it conditioned diasporic Korean communities in Northeast Asia and authored vectors of unexpected movement. Reflecting on the historical complexities of the division system as it faces its potential demise\, the conference seeks to shed light on the varied literary and cultural experiences that were mediated by the Korean language under the condition of division by considering together the literatures of the two Koreas\, as well as Korean-language writings produced in Japan and Northeast China. How did the division system shape literature in these regions? How did literature and film challenge this system from within and across national boundaries? And how might the concept and practice of Korean literature change in a post-division era within a rapidly changing mediascape? Especially welcome are papers that consider the study of Korean literature and film broadly or approach specific authors and works in relation to the following list of topics.\n\nWar\, division\, memory\nKorean diaspora in Northeast Asia\nCross-border movements (including wŏlbuk\, wŏlnam\, nappuk\, and t’albuk)\nCensorship and canon-making in North and South Korea\nConcepts of minor literature in Northeast Asia\nGlobal cold war and notions of neutrality\nBilingualism and translation UID:64517-16380907@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64517 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Korea LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 1010 | 10th Floor Event Space CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191111T105153 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:WHITE HISTORY MONTH VOL. 1 DESCRIPTION:Mining symbols of power and oppression from the historical strata of western art\, Sawyer exposes truths\, while covering others to gain a clearer picture of concepts that have shaped our current society. Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed and considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled? \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAs part of his residency\, Sawyer also worked with U-M students to create a mural to honor Samuel C. Watson\, the first African American student admitted to the University of Michigan. The mural is on view on the first floor of MLB.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, and curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan. His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual and collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit. Sawyer is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. His passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth including various community arts programs throughout New York\, where he served as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. He earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University. In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

But they can also give hospitals excessive bargaining leverage\, leading to increased reimbursement rates and premiums. To study this\, I develop and estimate a model of network formation and bargaining between hospitals and insurers. Crucially\, my bargaining formulation allows insurers to threaten to replace an in-network hospital with an out-of-network one. Applied to a health insurance market in Massachusetts\, my model predicts that regulations mandating large minimum network sizes can raise prices substantially. Also\, surprisingly\, network adequacy regulations can cause “broad-network” plans to downsize.

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:66701-16770271@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:20191119T090744 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ripple Effect DESCRIPTION:Ripple Effect is an interactive art exhibition that visualizes local water quality data through sound\, light\, and water. 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.

This estimation is complicated by the fact that genes can evolve under processes\, including incomplete lineage sorting (ILS)\, gene duplication and loss (GDL) and horizontal gene transfer (HGT)\, that make their trees conflict with the species history. I will survey recent progress on some statistical questions that arise in this context. Specifically\, the identifiability of standard probabilistic models of phylogenomic data will be discussed\, as well as the large-sample properties of computationally efficient methods for species tree estimation.

The exhibit is a tribute to antiquarian bookseller and outstanding Americanist William S. Reese (1955-2018)\, drawing upon Reese's 2017 book \"The Best of the West\" for its descriptions of the titles on display. \n\nThe books and pamphlets in the exhibition range chronologically from Miguel Venegas' 1757 \"Noticia de la California\" to Thomas F. Dawson & F. J. V. Skiff's 1879 \"The Ute War.\" In between are dozens of the rarest examples of western Americana primary sources\, in Spanish\, French\, English\, and German. They include discovery and exploration narratives\, 19th-century overland narratives\, prints and views of Native Americans\, color-plate books\, gold and silver mining reports\, and other glimpses of the trans-Mississippi West.

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:58562-15002316@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:63803-15884120@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.

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.

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.

Have you ever seen highway information boards with travel time estimates and wanted to know where they came from? Or maybe you’ve wondered how emergency responders coordinate to respond to traffic accidents on the highway?  Well you’re in luck! This Friday\, 11/22\, MiTSO will be offering a tour of the Oakland County Traffic Operations Center (TOC). The TOC is responsible for monitoring all county intersections in real-time\, adjusting traffic lights and coordinating them as necessary to reduce congestion. Additionally\, they coordinate with emergency response and law enforcement in order to respond to and clear accidents that further block the roads. The tour is scheduled for 1pm-4pm. We will be leaving from north campus around 11:30am and will be back to campus before 5pm. Transportation will be provided. Please fill out the google form (https://forms.gle/qakMZ8u2DBotAnj56) by noon on Wednesday (11/20) if you are interested so that we can organize transportation!  UID:69562-17362151@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Oakland County Traffic Operation Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191112T120240 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T125000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Human Performance Seminar (836): Don Chaffin\, PhD\, Nadine Sarter\, PhD\, U-M IOE DESCRIPTION:The Human Performance Seminar Series (836) from the Center for Ergonomics is open to all. U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nBack to the Future—The C4E Story\n\nAbstract:\nFrom 1960 to 2000\, several major social and economic conditions in the US created the need and opportunity for multiple disciplines to combine in an effort to improve a variety of environments for people of all ages. This seminar will discuss how these conditions led faculty members from IOE\, Environmental and Occupational Health\, Statistics\, Psychology\, Pediatrics\, Anthropology\, and the Transportation Research Institute to collaborate and then form the Center for Ergonomics in 1980. Early problems addressed by these faculty members and their students led to methods and solutions related to improving: Apollo EVA/IVA tasks\, Child Product Safety Requirements\, OSHA Fall Protection Requirements\, Occupational Weight Lifting Requirements\, Aircraft Baggage Handling Limitations\, Disney Resort Manual Activity Requirements\, Automobile Egress and Ingress Designs\, to name a few. More recently\, the emphasis in workplace and product design has broadened and shifted from supporting primarily physical task requirements to addressing the perceptual and cognitive demands imposed by increasingly automated and (semi)autonomous technologies. The second part of this talk will highlight recent C4E research and accomplishments\, and discuss future opportunities in the areas of human-machine teaming and human-robot interaction.

There are hundreds of active shortages each year\, and they persist for an average of fourteen months. Shortages are often caused by supply chain disruptions. In this work\, I present a multi-stage stochastic program that optimizes a pharmaceutical company’s supply chain design under uncertainty in component availability. Components include suppliers of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)\,\nmanufacturing plants\, and lines. It is one of the first models to consider the effects of disruption and recovery over time and for facilities at multiple echelons. I introduce a replenishment rule to enforce the nonanticipativity constraints implicitly and solve a thirteen stage program. I study the effects of policies that have been proposed to reduce shortages on supply chains of example oncology drugs.\n\nBio:\nEmily L. Tucker is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. She received her MSE in IOE from Michigan and her BS in Industrial Engineering from NC State. Prior to graduate school\, she worked as a Research Health Economist for RTI International. She is a recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and was a finalist for the 2017 Bonder Scholarship for Applied OR in Health Services. She has served as President of the Student Leadership Board in IOE and an editor of OR/MS Tomorrow\, the INFORMS student magazine.

Teachers give lower grades to immigrant students compared to natives with the same performance in standardized tests. Differences in grading are bigger for teachers with stronger stereotypes\, elicited through an Implicit Associa-tion Test (IAT). We reveal teachers their own IAT score\, randomizing the timing of disclosure. Teachers informed before grading increase grades assigned to immigrants. This result is driven by teachers who do not report explicit views against immigrants and who receive a more precise signal of their implicit bias.\n\nAlberto Alesina\, Michela Carlana\, Eliana La Ferrara\, Paolo Pinotti UID:68423-17080056@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68423 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T111359 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191122T140000 SUMMARY:Other:MIW Application Deadline-February 14\, 2020 DESCRIPTION:Regular admission deadline for Fall 2020 and early admission Winter 2021.

In this talk\, I will present a collection of findings from my research program that suggest not only are deviant behaviors costly\, but they are also a way in which covert varieties of sexism and racism persist in today’s organizations. Grounded in theories of modern discrimination\, I will display data that illuminates a dark side of organizational life: low-level forms of rudeness and mistreatment that are often disregarded as trivial. I suggest that to truly equal the playing field\, organizations must root out interpersonal experiences that undermine women’s (and men’s) success and satisfaction. Further\, I will present findings on how the process of incivility harm unfolds as a function of individual differences. However\, I will also complicate this picture with my recent research that finds an unexpected potential bright-side to uncivil interactions. The goal of my work is to inform academic theory and to encourage workplace interventions that both minimize incivility and gender harassment and help those experiencing these types of stressors.

The absence of early-forming ultra-compact minihalos (UCMHs) establishes an upper bound on the amplitude of the primordial power spectrum on small scales and has been used to constrain inflationary models. I will show how numerical simulations of UCMH formation reveal that these constraints need to be revised because the dark matter annihilation rate within UCMHs is lower than has been assumed. Nevertheless\, we have found that minihalos can still provide unrivaled constraints on the small-scale primordial power spectrum. The abundance of minihalos also encodes information about the evolution of the Universe prior to Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). I will discuss how the pre-BBN thermal history can enhance the minihalo population\, thereby boosting the dark matter annihilation rate if dark matter is a thermal relic. Conversely\, the nonthermal production of dark matter can suppress the small-scale power spectrum. It is therefore possible to use gamma-ray observations and observations of the Lyman-α forest to learn about the origins of dark matter and the evolution of the Universe during its first second.

For First Year Students DESCRIPTION:As a first-year student\, figuring out what you need to do to get an internship or understanding what interests you have is hard -- 100 emoji. It’s difficult to know what employers look for or how might your interests equal a job or a major. \n\nNo worries\, we designed an experience just for you. \n\nDuring this 50-minute workshop\, we hope to...\n- Walk you through what employers look for in interns\n- Help you set goals to prepare yourself to be a GREAT candidate\n- Debunk major and career connection\n- Guide you on how to use our office to gain experience\n\nYou should come if you…\n- Are a first-year student!\n- Want to know what experiences employers look for and how to get it. \n- Have been asked at least 50times already\, “what’s your major?”\n- Aren’t totally sure on what the “Career Center” does.\n\n*RSVP is required for this program.
