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:63803-15884133@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:68063-16988440@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:20191207T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times\, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality\, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Demonstrations are appropriate for visitors ages 5 and above. \n\nSaturdays and Sundays\, 11 a.m.\n\nExplore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized! How old are the earliest fossils? How old does something have to be before it is considered a fossil? You’ll touch some real fossils\, learn the different types of fossil evidence\, and discover what is necessary to become a fossil. Finally\, we’ll discuss what kinds of things fossils can tell us\, and how fossil casts are made in the museum!

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931489@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191112T124135 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T114500 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Paleo Prep Lab Chat DESCRIPTION:Join us at the visible labs in the atriums for a discussion about the science happening inside.

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:63992-16059428@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:20200108T111359 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T140000 SUMMARY:Other:MIW Application Deadline-February 14\, 2020 DESCRIPTION:Regular admission deadline for Fall 2020 and early admission Winter 2021.

Forced from their home in the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma\, the Joad family piles its few possessions on a battered old truck and heads west for California\, hoping to find work and a better life. Faced instead with intolerance and exploitation\, the Joads suffer death and deprivation as they struggle to find their place in the world. Despite the anguish it depicts\, the play is ultimately a soaring and deeply moving affirmation of the indomitability of the human spirit. \n\nOriginally premiered at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago\, Galati’s adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath transferred to both the West End and Broadway to critical acclaim. The play was nominated for eight Tony Awards in 1990\, winning for Best Direction and Best Play. Steinbeck’s 1939 novel was based on the author’s own experiences living and traveling with migrants from the Dust Bowl. The fictional Joads represent the tens of thousands of Americans who\, forced into similar circumstances by the confluence of climate change and poverty\, fought to preserve their humanity in the face of the vast inequities of the American experience.

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.

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.

That complexity is rooted in Plato's own texts\, offering as they do competing views on the nature of the soul. How did the soul (psyche) come to stand in for the interiority of the human person? How did the idea of an incorporeal self come to occupy an unbroken tradition of over one thousand years\, pervading cultures around the Mediterranean basin\, but rooted in ideas that can be directly traced back to Plato’s texts? Over that millennium\, questions arose as to the existence of a world soul or even of an evil soul\, the cosmic function of the soul\, the way that the soul thinks\, how soul governs or enlivens the body\, the pre-existence of the soul\, its fall into embodiment\, etc. How did soul come to have so many disparate functions and configurations in the Platonic tradition?\n\nIn celebration of the upcoming 70th birthday of John Finamore\, Roger Hornsby Professor of Classics at the University of Iowa\, President of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies\, and Editor of the International of the Platonic Tradition.\n\nSCHEDULE\n\nDay One\, Friday Dec. 6 \nClassics Library\, 2175 Angell Hall\nConference Opening\n\nFirst Session: Plotinus and Proclus\n2:00 pm \nSuzanne Stern-Gillet.

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:58562-15784132@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:63803-15884134@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.

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:68063-16988441@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:20191208T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191208T170000 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.

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.

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:63992-16059429@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:20200108T111359 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191208T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191208T140000 SUMMARY:Other:MIW Application Deadline-February 14\, 2020 DESCRIPTION:Regular admission deadline for Fall 2020 and early admission Winter 2021.

Forced from their home in the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma\, the Joad family piles its few possessions on a battered old truck and heads west for California\, hoping to find work and a better life. Faced instead with intolerance and exploitation\, the Joads suffer death and deprivation as they struggle to find their place in the world. Despite the anguish it depicts\, the play is ultimately a soaring and deeply moving affirmation of the indomitability of the human spirit. \n\nOriginally premiered at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago\, Galati’s adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath transferred to both the West End and Broadway to critical acclaim. The play was nominated for eight Tony Awards in 1990\, winning for Best Direction and Best Play. Steinbeck’s 1939 novel was based on the author’s own experiences living and traveling with migrants from the Dust Bowl. The fictional Joads represent the tens of thousands of Americans who\, forced into similar circumstances by the confluence of climate change and poverty\, fought to preserve their humanity in the face of the vast inequities of the American experience.

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.

The Impact of Automatic Enrollment on Debt DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nDoes automatic enrollment into a retirement plan increase borrowing outside the plan? We study a natural experiment created when the U.S. Army began automatically enrolling newly hired civilian employees into the Thrift Savings Plan. Four years after hire\, automatic enrollment causes no significant change in credit scores (point estimate 0.001 standard deviations) or debt balances excluding auto loans and first mortgages (point estimate -0.6% of annual salary). We also find no significant increase in auto loan and first mortgage balances in our main regression specification\, although the estimated increases in these categories are economically and statistically significant in alternative specifications.

Implications for Children and Adolescents DESCRIPTION:Our food environment has changed drastically in the last 50 years. Highly processed (HP) foods that strongly activate reward and motivation systems have become cheap\, easily accessible\, and heavily marketed. Rising levels of overeating and difficulties controlling food intake have accompanied these changes to our food system. There is growing evidence from animal models and biobehavioral research in humans that HP foods may be capable of triggering neurobiological and psychological responses that parallel those associated with drugs of abuse. This has led to a growing interest in the role of addictive processes in certain types of eating pathology. Unlike traditional drugs of abuse\, HP foods are typically consumed very early in development (often in the first year of life). In this talk\, the evidence that addictive processes may be playing a role in certain types of pathological eating will be evaluated and implications for children and adolescents will be discussed.

However\, in the mammalian embryo\, morphogen concentrations change rapidly compared to the time for making cell fate decisions. It is unknown how changing ligand levels are interpreted\, and whether the precise timecourse of ligand exposure plays a role in cell fate decisions. In this talk I will discuss our work to address this question using human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)\, focusing on the dynamics of two morphogens that are crucial for vertebrate gastrulation: Nodal and BMP4. We showed that the response of hESCs to BMP4 signaling is indeed is determined by the ligand concentration\, but that unexpectedly\, the expression of many mesodermal targets of Nodal depends on the rate of concentration increase. In addition\, we showed that a stem cell model for the human embryo generates a wave of Nodal signaling with cells experiencing rapidly increasing Nodal specifically in the region of mesendoderm differentiation. The BMP4 and Nodal pathways share the signal transducer Smad4. Using live imaging of hESCs with GFP integrated at the endogenous SMAD4 locus combined with Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP)\, we demonstrated that response to rate of Activin change is due to adaptive signaling\, which relies on sequestration of SMAD4. We also demonstrated that pulsatile stimulation with Activin induces repeated strong signaling and enhances mesoderm differentiation. Our results break with the paradigm of concentration-dependent differentiation and demonstrate an important role for morphogen dynamics in the cell fate decisions associated with mammalian gastrulation. They suggest a highly dynamic picture of embryonic patterning where some cell fates depend on rapid concentration increase rather than on absolute levels\, and point to ligand dynamics as a new dimension to optimize protocols for directed stem cell differentiation.\n UID:68969-17205310@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68969 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200129T125539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191209T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191209T130000 SUMMARY:Other:Student Grant Proposal 2020: College of Engineering - Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion DESCRIPTION:The College of Engineering is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity created to further our Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion initiatives.

Examples include biological structures\, such as insect wing exoskeletons\, fluid phenomena\, such as bubbles and jets\, and human-made objects\, such as microrobots. The beauty and complexity of these systems attract efforts from scientists\, engineers\, and artists in various fields. However\, a computational investigation of these systems on the level of super-resolution –with millions to billions of computational elements — is still challenging\, due to the non-manifold geometric structures\, non-linear governing physics\, and the tight coupling between them.\n\nMy work tackles these challenges by rethinking of the computation pipeline—from a perspective that aims to blur the line between discrete geometry and continuous physics. My guiding principle is to study the hidden low-dimensional topological and structural characteristics underpinning these complex systems and to create the most natural geometric analogs in a discrete setting for efficient simulation and optimization. In this talk\, I will present two examples to demonstrate this methodology\, including a super-resolution topology optimization algorithm based on sparse grids to emerge biomimetic structures and a numerical simulation approach based on simplicial complexes to model codimensional fluids. These computational tools enable the investigation\, discovery\, and development of a broad range of complex physical systems that are multi-scale and mixed-dimensional\, with applications in computer graphics\, computational physics\, and additive manufacturing.\n\nBio: Bo Zhu is an assistant professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth College.

Quasi-experimental evidence from Cook County\, IL” (joint with John Eric Humphries\, Nick Mader\, and Daniel Tannenbaum) DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nEach year\, more than two million U.S. households have an eviction case filed against them. Many cities have recently implemented policies aimed at reducing the number of evictions\, motivated by research showing strong associations between being evicted and subsequent adverse economic outcomes. Yet it is difficult to determine to what extent those associations represent causal relationships\, because eviction itself is likely to be a consequence of adverse life events. This paper addresses that challenge and offers new causal evidence on how eviction affects financial distress\, residential mobility\, and neighborhood quality. We collect the near-universe of Cook County court records over a period of seventeen years\, and link these records to credit bureau and payday loans data. Using this data\, we characterize the trajectory of financial strain in the run-up and aftermath of eviction court for both evicted and non-evicted households\, finding high levels and striking increases in financial strain in the years before an eviction case is filed. Guided by this descriptive evidence\, we employ two approaches to draw causal inference on the effect of eviction. The first takes advantage of the panel data through a difference-in-differences design. The second is an instrumental variables strategy\, relying on the fact that court cases are randomly assigned to judges of varying leniency.

Ensuring that this team is able to properly staff its units at all times is essential to Michigan Medicine’s mission and role as a Level 1 Trauma Center and Burn Verified Center. However\, traditional methods for scheduling healthcare providers are time-intensive and may fail to meet the needs of the providers and units they serve. For Acute Care Surgery\, the task of creating the schedules\, which often follows a complex set of rules and preferences\, falls on the Division Chief\, consuming valuable time and sometimes not satisfying each surgeon’s preferences. To improve this process\, we have created a computerized decision-making tool to ease the burden of creating such schedules. We formulated an integer program to automate the creation of this department’s six-month-long schedule\, which assigns 15 attending surgeons to 5 units for weekly time intervals. Users can input schedule parameters such as the attending surgeons’ time-off requests and targeted number of weeks on service. Moreover\, metrics enable generating the highest-quality schedule that simultaneously meets the needs of the department\, the surgeons’ preferences\, and balances the schedule fairly. This scheduling tool has drastically decreased the production time of the schedule. Whereas previously creating the six-month schedule required multiple weeks of the division chief’s time\, using the scheduling tool requires only a few hours of the division chief’s time. Additionally\, the transparent schedule metrics defined by the tool can increase a sense of fairness among surgeons\, increasing job satisfaction and reducing physician burnout.\n\nAmy Cohn\, PhD\, joined the faculty in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan in 2002 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2009\; in 2011\, she was also named a Thurnau Professor and in 2017 was promoted to Full Professor. She currently holds the position of Associate Director for the Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety. Her primary research interest is in robust and integrated planning for large-scale systems\, predominantly in healthcare and aviation applications.

With few exceptions\, the study of V&R (and the Persian romance tradition more generally) has been guided by the frame of national literary history — Browne’s Literary History of Persia being the keystone work in this method — and within this frame\, V&R comes across as something of an outsider\, an anomaly\, and certainly a work of limited historical impact. In this introduction\, Cross outlines why and how he proposes to read the poem not as an early specimen of a national literary tradition still in its infancy\, but as a response to a mature tradition of narratives about lovers\, developed in many languages over the course of the previous millennium. From that perspective\, this text stands to tell us much about the spread\, diffusion\, and purpose of that literary habit we call romance\, and the concept of romantic love that is its subject\, from the critical but largely unexplored vantage-point of medieval Persia. Cross contends that we cannot fully understand Vis & Rāmin without reading it through that multi-lingual tradition of longue durée\; nor can we fully understand that tradition without Vis & Rāmin.\n\nPlease email Shahla Farghadani (sfarghad@umich.edu) to receive a copy of Cross's paper in advance. \n\nFor further information\, please visit our website:https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/iranian-studies/psw \n\nWe look forward to seeing you there!\n\nLight refreshments will be served.

These early storytelling skills can help children develop a strong foundation for building later reading and writing skills. Research suggests that opportunities to practice telling stories helps children develop stronger language skills and a better understanding of how stories are structured. This presentation will review seven ways that young children's storytelling skills can impact their literacy development. The presentation will also share tips on how best to support young children to become better storytellers. \n\nBio: Nicole Gardner-Neblett\, Ph.D.\, is a developmental psychologist whose work focuses on the individual and contextual factors that promote children’s language and literacy development. She adopts a strengths-based approach to understanding children’s development and identifying effective practices to transform the early learning experiences of young children. In particular\, Dr. Gardner-Neblett’s work examines the oral narrative\, or storytelling\, skills of African American children and the implications for literacy development and educational practice.

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:63992-16059431@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:20191210T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191210T180000 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.

Roosevelt in the post-Watergate era\, he became president only by fooling the public about the paralysis he suffered as a result of poliomyelitis. In fact\, the author’s research shows that FDR made masterful use of his disability as he recovered from the disease and rose to the White House.\n\nAfter earning a Ph.D. in history at the University of Michigan\, lecturer James Tobin spent 20 years as a newspaper reporter and freelance writer. His books include “Ernie Pyle’s War” (1997)\, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award in biography\; “To Conquer the Air: The Wright Brothers and the Great Race for Flight” (2003)\; and “The Man He Became: How FDR Defied Polio to Win the Presidency” (2013). He is currently a Professor of Journalism at Miami University.\n\nThis is the fourth in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2019-20. A total of ten lectures are presented covering a variety of topics. Lectures are held on Tuesday mornings once each month. The next lecture will be held January 14\, 2020. The title is Living Transgender: The Struggles and Rewards.

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:58562-15784133@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:63803-15884135@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.

To support this adaptive behavior\, sensory brain circuits balance competing needs for maintaining a stable and coherent representation of the external environment\, while reorganizing in response following salient experiences. In the auditory cortex\, neurons exhibit robust\, consistent and selective responses to sound stimuli. On the other hand\, experience can cause changes in the response properties of individual auditory cortical neurons as well as in the large-scale functional organization of the auditory cortex. However\, little is known about the degree of longitudinal ensemble-level stability or plasticity of auditory cortical sound representations. To address this gap\, we carried out longitudinal two-photon calcium imaging in the auditory cortex of awake mice to derive the response properties of identified neuronal ensembles to simple and complex sounds across days. Our preliminary results suggest a surprising degree of plasticity of sound-evoked responses within local neuronal ensembles in the auditory cortex.

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our weekly brown bag lunch seminar.\n\nAbstract\nThe senses are our interface with our surrounding world and attuned to specific qualities of prominent signals within the environment. Studying the ways in which senses have changed during evolution can be a marker of how organisms respond to major ecological shifts. Snakes have invaded aquatic habitats multiple times\, but\, with over 60 fully-aquatic and ecologically diverse species\, few groups have been so successful as sea snakes (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae). I will explore the sensory evolution of sea snakes\, with emphasis on two senses that are mediated by the skin: mechanoreception (touch) and tail phototaxis (skin photoreception). Tiny mechanoreceptors on the scales of sea snakes have undergone substantial changes during evolution\, I will discuss whether these morphological changes are likely to confer a 'hydrodynamic' function (analogous to the lateral line system of fishes) in sea snakes. Light sensitivity of the paddle-tail in sea snakes (tail phototaxis) is a rare trait among vertebrates and convergent with other elongate\, aquatic species (hagfish\, lamprey\, aquatic salamanders). I explore the evolutionary origins\, genetic mechanisms and ecological factors underlying this fascinating sense in sea snakes.

The topics to be presented involve translating synthetic advances to creative materials applications\, including the synthesis of new polymer zwitterions (including phosphorylcholines\, sulfobetaines\, and sulfothetins) that have generated a surprising breadth of advances\, ranging from electronic materials to medical devices to injectable therapeutics. Striking properties of these polymers at interfaces will be discussed\, including in thin films and in fluids\, with focus on the impact of new functional polymers as components of ‘hard-soft’ materials interfaces. In addition\, mesoscale materials constructs will be described\, including a new kind of “mesoscale block copolymers” (MSBCPs) that are envisaged as larger scale analogs of conventional block copolymers\, as well as nanocomposite hydrogels that function as photo-induced surfers and motors at air-fluid interfaces.\n\nBIO\nTodd Emrick is a Professor of Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, and adjunct faculty member at the UMass Medical School in Worcester\, MA. He earned a B.S. in Chemistry from Juniata College in PA and Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry with Philip E. Eaton at the University of Chicago. Following postdoctoral work in polymer synthesis at the University of California Berkeley with Jean Fréchet\, he began his independent position at UMass Amherst in 2001. While at UMass\, his research has focused on the intersection of organic and polymer chemistry\, with a focus on useful outlets in materials science and engineering. Advances from Todd’s laboratories have been recognized by the Carl S. Marvel Award for creative polymer chemistry (ACS Polymer Division)\, election to the National Academy of Inventors\, and selection as the UMass Amherst College of Natural Sciences Outstanding Researcher. He is the prior Director of the NSF-supported Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) on Polymers at UMass Amherst (2008-2017) and is currently an investigator in the NSF Center for Chemomechanical Assembly (CCMA).

Directed by Martin Walsh. \n\nTwelfth Night centers on the twins Viola and Sebastian\, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola (who is disguised as Cesario) falls in love with Duke Orsino\, who in turn is in love with Countess Olivia. Upon meeting Viola\, Countess Olivia falls in love with her thinking she is a man.\n\nThe Tempest is thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. After the first scene\, which takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest\, the rest of the story is set on a remote island\, where the sorcerer Prospero\, a complex and contradictory character\, lives with his daughter Miranda\, and his two servants—Caliban\, a savage monster figure\, and Ariel\, an airy spirit.

She was previously a Regent's Professor Schools of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University where she was appointed in 2009. From 1988-2009 she was on the faculties of Geography and Biology at San Diego State University. She specializes in Landscape Ecology\, Biogeography\, and Geographic Information Science. Franklin’s research is focused on in the patterns and dynamics of terrestrial plant communities at the landscape scale. Her work addresses the impacts of human-caused landscape change on the environment. Human land use -- agriculture and urbanization -- and other large-scale human impacts such as climate change\, and the introduction of exotic species\, often interact with natural disturbance regimes such as fire\, flooding and hurricanes\, to shape plant community dynamics in forests\, shrublands\, and other ecosystems.

In particular\, I will describe the signal sizes necessary and sufficient for statistical procedures to simultaneously control false discovery (in terms of family-wise error rate or false discovery rate) and missed detection (in terms of family-wise non-discovery rate or false non-discovery rate) in the simple but ubiquitous signal-plus-noise model\n\n x(i) = \mu(i) + \epsilon(i)\, \quad i=1\,2\,\ldots\,p\n\nSeveral well-known procedures are shown to attain said boundaries. Remarkably\, these phase transition phenomena continue to hold under a much wider class of models\, and under extremely weak dependence assumptions. We provide point-wise\, rather than minimax\, results\, wherever we can. Important practical implications\, along with an interesting manifestation of the phase transitions in genome-wide association studies (GWAS)\, will be discussed.\n\nBehind the statistical results is a probabilistic phenomenon known as relative stability. Much like how the law of large numbers describes the concentration of averages\, relative stability --- or the \"law of large dimensions\" --- describes the concentration of maxima. We provide a complete characterization of the relative stability phenomenon for Gaussian triangular arrays in terms of their correlation structure. Its proof uses classic Sudakov-Fernique and Slepian lemma arguments along with a curious application of Ramsey's coloring theorem.

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.
