After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

The project\, which takes the form of a magazine\, profiles eight Latinx students at the University of Michigan. Each student participated in a one-on-one interview with Tess\, during which they discussed the struggles they face in relation to their heritage. Their answers served as the basis for a feature-style article. Students also took part in individual photoshoots with Tess\, whose location\, style and focus they directed. Those photos are featured in this exhibition\, along with excerpts from each student’s interview. Copies of the original magazine will be available for viewing within the gallery space. \n\n>> Opening Reception: Friday\, January 10 from 6-8pm. Refreshments will be served. \n\nIn Spanish\, “nosotros” means “we.” On its own\, however\, “otros” means “others.” The title of this exhibition omits the latter part of the word to symbolize Tess’s dreams for the Latinx community: a shared space of “we” where nobody feels like the other. \n\nTess Garcia is a senior at the University of Michigan majoring in Communication and Media and Social Theory and Practice through the Residential College. Her work in STP has centered around exploring Latinx issues through journalism\, culminating in the creation of the print magazine and accompanying exhibition for “NOS: Dismantling the Otro.” UID:71010-17768594@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71010 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Culture,Diversity,Exhibition,Free,Latin America,Multicultural,Storytelling,Undergraduate,Visual Arts LOCATION:East Quadrangle - Residential College Art Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200129T125539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200110T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200110T110000 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.

Recent\ndevelopments in MFD simulation propose two general formulations that\ncan both be applied to multi-reservoir systems. The first is the classical\naccumulation-based formulation when traffic dynamics in each reservoir is governed by a conservation equation. The second is the more recently developed trip-based formulation when vehicle trips have individual lengths but share a single time-dependent mean speed in each region. The different model settings in both frameworks (merge\, diverge\, entry flow functions) are discussed and compared to microscopic simulations. The integration of multiclass extensions (mainly to represent public transport) is also presented with a particular focus on the resulting traffic dynamics at the reservoir boundaries. The question of MFD model calibration is then addressed considering two central questions: (i) the regional triplength estimation and (ii) the scaling of observations to determine the vehicle accumulations and travel productions. Several applications are discussed in the end: validation of the multi-reservoir setting for the city of Lyon\, optimization of ride-sharing services\, perimeter control for\nreducing network-wide emissions.\n\nLudovic Leclercq is research director at IFSTTAR and professor in traffic flow theory at the University of Lyon\, France.

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:58562-15784157@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:63803-15884159@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.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

I argue the strategic purpose of concessions varies depending on the level of information about the grievance available to the government. In cases where the government has little prior awareness of the motivating grievance\, protests convey valuable new information\, and concessions are used as a long-term adaptation strategy\, to eliminate grievances and prevent citizens from becoming regime opponents. In many cases\, however\, the government already possesses information that policies it desires to pursue are unpopular and will produce protest. Here\, the government has sufficient information that it deliberately avoids or manipulates consultative institutions. Concessions are then used as a short-term demobilization strategy to disrupt a campaign’s capacity to mobilize. Once mobilization diminishes\, the government can renege\, or deliberately fail to implement the promised concession and pursues its desired policies unchanged. I test the implications of this theory with an original dataset\, Protest Campaigns of Moscow (PCoM)\, which contains observations on 64 protest campaigns held in Moscow\, Russia\, against the city government\, from 2013-2018. Based on extensive data collection from Russian-language social networking sites\, mass media\, and interest-group specific websites\, this is the first campaign-level dataset to include detailed information about the implementation of concessions up to four years after the initial government promise.

Collisions between dark matter particles and baryons exchange heat and momentum in the early Universe\, enabling a search for dark matter interactions using cosmological observations in a parameter space that is complementary to that of direct detection. In this talk\, I will describe the effects of scattering in cosmology and show constraints using Planck 2015 data and SDSS-identified satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. I will also discuss the implications of late-time scattering during the era of Cosmic Dawn.

C.\, & N. Tokowicz\, 2014)\, bilingualism (Silva-Corvalán\, 1994\; Toribio\, 2004)\, trilingualism (Rothman\, 2010\, 2015\; Rothman & Cabrelli Amaro\, 2010\; Rothman et al.\, 2015) or multilingualism leading to language creation (Rougé\, 1986\; Kihm\, 1990\; Corne\, 1999)\, it is often (but not always!) the case that the features that the languages in contact have in common promote acquisition or language creation. More precisely\, the phonemes\, morphemes\, lexemes or syntactic structures that speakers perceive as being similar in the languages in contact\, what we will call here\, congruent features or domains\, are likely to be acquired more easily in L2 (or L3/L4...) or are more likely to contribute to the grammatical make-up (and lexicon) of the emerging language in the case of creole genesis.\n\nThis paper represents a first step in a long-term research program exploring how new languages emerge in a multilingual setting. It examines the role of convergence in Creole formation and development\, using a competition and selection framework. Specifically\, it illustrates how morphosyntactic and semantic features are more likely to be selected into the grammatical makeup of a given Creole when they preexist and are shared by some of the source languages present in its linguistic ecology. This is empirically supported in this paper by numerous case studies and a survey of congruent features in 20 contact languages across 19 grammatical and lexical domains. In order to show how convergence operates\, I propose an algorithm and a model of matter and pattern mapping\, adapted to the multilingual setting in which Creole languages emerge. In addition to a set of variables\, the model includes both the linguistic ecology (linguistic factors) and speakers' attitudes (non-linguistic factors) (Thomason\, 2001) to predict (in a non-deterministic fashion) the features that are more likely to win within a competition and selection framework (Mufwene\, 2001). It shows that even when a given feature is traceable to two or more sources\, it readily diverges from the original sources and is innovative. The paper also explores cases where convergence does not take place and examines the conditions underlying such outcome.

DESCRIPTION:The physics of fault growth governs the evolution of faults within the Earth’s crust and ultimately\, the behavior of devastating earthquakes. With carefully scaled physical experiments that use analogs for crustal materials\, we can speed up and scale down crustal processes so that they occur within hours on a table-top rather than millennia within the Earth’s crust.  This experimental study examines the evolution of fault systems with particular attention to temporal variations in fault slip rate associated with interaction and reorganization of faults. If faults slip at the same rate throughout time\, then we could use the record of past earthquakes to guide earthquake forecasts. However\, with recent improvements to the fidelity of slip rate records\, we see increasing geologic evidence for non-constant fault slip rates in regions of multiple active faults. The experiments show that with deformation\, the faults can interact and evolve so that their slip rates may vary by ~30% through time even when the loading rate is constant. The observed variations in slip rate under constant loading rate in our experiments imply that earthquake forecasts along complex fault networks\, such as southern California or the Marlborough area of New Zealand might not be able to rely on past records of slip.

A proud Midwesterner\, she splits her time between studios in Chicago and Pentwater\, Michigan. She is recognized for her ethereal paintings and sculptural installations. Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

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:58562-15784158@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:63803-15884160@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.

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.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

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.

A proud Midwesterner\, she splits her time between studios in Chicago and Pentwater\, Michigan. She is recognized for her ethereal paintings and sculptural installations. Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

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:58562-15784159@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:63803-15884161@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.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

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.

Take Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. 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\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, and Department of American Culture.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

Bodies also populate creative art and fiction responses to contemporary migration and provide an interpretative key for how we might think about the transnational experience of mobility. In this talk Dr. Bond will present her 2018 monograph \"Writing Migration through the Body\,\" which draws on a range of texts and visual art that link Italy to other sites of migration and diaspora. It argues that the individual bodies that move in contemporary migration flows are the primary agents through which the transcultural passages of images\, emotions\, ideas\, memories – and also histories and possible futures – are enacted. \n\nEmma Bond is Reader (Associate Professor) in Italian and Comparative Literature at the University of St Andrews\, UK. She has published widely on border and migration literature (\"Writing Migration through the Body\,\" 2018\; \"Destination Italy: Representing Migration in Contemporary Media and Narrative\,\" 2015)\, and on Trieste and psychoanalysis (\"Disrupted Narratives: Illness\, Silence and Identity in Svevo\, Pressburger and Morandini\,\" 2012\; \"Freud and Italian Culture\,\" 2009). Emma is founding co-Editor of the ‘Transnational Italian Cultures’ book series (Liverpool University Press) and founding section Editor for Comparative Literature for \"Modern Languages Open.\" Her current book project is on \"Re-Collecting Empire: Transnational Modes of Collecting\, Curating and Display.\" Emma has held fellowships at the School of Advanced Study\, London\; Bogliasco Foundation\, and the Wolfsonian-FIU.

Especially\, nanoscale periodic polar configurations in ferroic oxides called ferroelectric domains exhibit novel phenomena leading to an intense flurry of research interests. However\, as studies of functional responses to external stimuli have mainly focused on electric and mechanical responses\, a new and effective approach to manipulate these polar configurations is on demand. In this presentation\, I will discuss our efforts to investigate interaction of light with nanoscale domains and ferroelastic domain walls examined by in-situ and time-resolved x-ray diffraction experiments. By tracking temporal evolution of x-ray domain diffuse scattering\, we have found that structural transformation of ferroic domains is optically induced and exhibits nonthermal characteristics. I will also present theoretical considerations to investigate the underlying physics of the photoinduced transformation. \n UID:71126-17779236@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71126 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191223T161445 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200113T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200113T150000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Spectrum Center Open House DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the new Spectrum Center\, 3020 in the Michigan Union!\n\nThe Union officially reopens for the public on January 13th and we've carved out a little time to welcome folks into our space for food and friendship!

The upcoming XENONnT and LZ experiments will further improve the search sensitivity. Beyond that\, a generation-3 (G3) dark matter detector will eventually reach the detection limits set by neutrinos. On the other hand\, there are vast unexplored parameter space for light dark matter with mass below 1 GeV. In this talk\, I will review the recent progress in dark matter direct detection experiments and discuss the promising new technologies that will lead the next generation experiments searching for both heavy and light dark matter particles. \n\n UID:70108-17532707@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70108 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Ross School of Business - 3560 CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
