Reputation has long been prized. In its traditional form, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.

In today's world, additional knowledge about you resides in "big data" collected by individuals, organizations, companies, and governments. Increasingly, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions.

This combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.

Who gathers, owns, and controls this data? Where do they get it, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people, processed by algorithms, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?

In this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy, surveillance, reputation, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.

Human Trafficking Symposium (April 25, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/51892 51892-12283033@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 25, 2018 11:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Division of Public Safety and Security DPSS

Attendees will gain an overview of what human trafficking is and how they can help victims that they may encounter in their field of practice, with a particular emphasis on healthcare settings. We will explore the root causes of human trafficking and our role in perpetuating and combating the underlying causes. We will take a critical perspective on what it means to help a victim of trafficking and well-meaning interventions, which may unwittingly cause the individual’s arrest or deportation. Further, we will examine guiding principles for successful engagement with this population, including trauma-informed care, cultural awareness, and harm reduction. Finally, we will hear about local resources that providers can use if they suspect a client is a victim of human trafficking.

Speakers and panelist include:
- Elizabeth Campbell, JD; University of Michigan Law School, Human Trafficking Clinic
- Nicole McGee, PhD; Victim Assistance Program, FBI
- Wendi-Jo Wendt, MD; Michigan Medicine, Pediatrics-Emergency Medicine
- Carmen Uresti, LMSW; Michigan Medicine, Care Management, Social Work
- Kaitlin Deslatte, University of Michigan Police Department, Special Victims Unit

Please register in advance. We ask participants to arrive at 11:30 for sign-in.

Social Work and Nursing continuing education credits will be offered. Please contact emattila@umich.edu if you have any questions.

We hope to see you there!

Teach-Out Series: Extreme Weather: Tornado Season (May 3, 2018 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/52174 52174-12518228@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, May 3, 2018 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Approximately 1,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes, what research tells us about their origins and structure, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change.

The Teach-Out will address the following questions:
What is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?
Where are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?
What are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?
How can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?
Is there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?

This Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come, join the conversation!

May Day International Online Rally – Listening Event with IYSSE (May 5, 2018 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52144 52144-12455269@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, May 5, 2018 5:00pm
Location: Shapiro Library
Organized By: International Youth and Students for Social Equality

Join the International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) as we participate in an international online May Day rally!

What: Gathering hosted by the IYSSE to listen and contribute remarks to an online May Day rally organized by the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) and the World Socialist Web Site
When: May 5 at 5pm
Where: Shapiro Undergraduate Library, Room 2124

May 5, 2018 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx, the greatest philosopher of modern history and the founder of scientific socialism. Marx's call: “Workers of the world unite!” resonates today amid an eruption of the class struggle on every continent. In the first four months of 2018, tens of millions of people have participated in the largest demonstrations and strikes in decades.

The capitalist system, based on the exploitation of the working class, is wracked by crisis.

All over the world, the ruling elites seek to protect their wealth and save this bankrupt system by resorting to war and repression. The governments and corporations are censoring the Internet out of fear that this revolutionary source for information and communication can link workers across the world in a common struggle against inequality, dictatorship and war.

The International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) and the World Socialist Web Site are commemorating Marx's birthday alongside May Day, the international day of working class solidarity, with an international online rally with participants from dozens of countries worldwide. Speakers will include leaders of the Fourth International from around the world.

Teach Out Series: Privacy, Reputation, and Identity in a Digital Age (May 6, 2018 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/46372 46372-12376535@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, May 6, 2018 12:00am

Reputation has long been prized. In its traditional form, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.

In today's world, additional knowledge about you resides in "big data" collected by individuals, organizations, companies, and governments. Increasingly, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions.

This combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.

Who gathers, owns, and controls this data? Where do they get it, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people, processed by algorithms, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?

In this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy, surveillance, reputation, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Approximately 1,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes, what research tells us about their origins and structure, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change.

The Teach-Out will address the following questions:
What is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?
Where are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?
What are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?
How can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?
Is there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?

This Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

In this Teach-Out, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes, what research tells us about their origins and structure, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change.

The Teach-Out will address the following questions:
What is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?
Where are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?
What are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?
How can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?
Is there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?

This Teach-Out is part of the Extreme Weather Series, a multi-part examination of the causes of various extreme weather events and to what degree climate change impacts the frequency or intensity of these events. We will also provide participants with strategies and resources to better prepare or respond to extreme weather in their own context.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

What does “civil rights” mean in the Trump era? How and why is the category evolving? This Teach-Out focuses on the civil rights aspects of two current debates--health care and the President’s seven-country travel ban--looking at politics, protest, and law. To understand these better, you will learn about foundational civil rights history dating back to Reconstruction (after the Civil War). You will also hear the perspectives of scholars in law, sociology, and political science, as well as civil rights advocates, who will all discuss how civil rights are defended and contested, often growing and contracting in response to other demands and debates. This Teach-Out ends with a call to action for you: How will you participate as our nation defines our rights?

The Teach-Out will address the following questions:

Civil Rights generally:
- What does “civil rights” mean? How has the category been understood both in the past and present?

Healthcare:
- In what way is healthcare reform a civil rights demand?
- In what way does the civil rights “frame” fail to fit healthcare policy?

Immigration:
- Why did the 19th-century Supreme Court declare immigration a constitutional-law-free zone?
- How are courts--including the Supreme Court--analyzing the President’s seven-country travel ban?


A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

What does “civil rights” mean in the Trump era? How and why is the category evolving? This Teach-Out focuses on the civil rights aspects of two current debates--health care and the President’s seven-country travel ban--looking at politics, protest, and law. To understand these better, you will learn about foundational civil rights history dating back to Reconstruction (after the Civil War). You will also hear the perspectives of scholars in law, sociology, and political science, as well as civil rights advocates, who will all discuss how civil rights are defended and contested, often growing and contracting in response to other demands and debates. This Teach-Out ends with a call to action for you: How will you participate as our nation defines our rights?

The Teach-Out will address the following questions:

Civil Rights generally:
- What does “civil rights” mean? How has the category been understood both in the past and present?

Healthcare:
- In what way is healthcare reform a civil rights demand?
- In what way does the civil rights “frame” fail to fit healthcare policy?

Immigration:
- Why did the 19th-century Supreme Court declare immigration a constitutional-law-free zone?
- How are courts--including the Supreme Court--analyzing the President’s seven-country travel ban?


A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Approximately 1,200 tornadoes hit the United States per year and because of their unpredictable and violent nature, tornadoes remain a focal point in extreme weather conversations. In this Teach-Out, you will learn about the frequency of tornadic events both in the United States and globally, the methods used to assess the strength of tornadoes, what research tells us about their origins and structure, and tornado preparedness and response strategies. You will also explore to what degree scientists believe the frequency and/or intensity of tornadic storms are affected by climate change.

The Teach-Out will address the following questions:
What is a thunderstorm and how do some become severe?
Where are tornadic thunderstorms likely to form?
What are the combination of conditions needed to create a tornadic thunderstorm?
How can you best prepare for a tornado in your community?
Is there any reason to believe that the frequency or intensity of tornadoes is likely to increase in the future due to climate change?

What does “civil rights” mean in the Trump era? How and why is the category evolving? This Teach-Out focuses on the civil rights aspects of two current debates--health care and the President’s seven-country travel ban--looking at politics, protest, and law. To understand these better, you will learn about foundational civil rights history dating back to Reconstruction (after the Civil War). You will also hear the perspectives of scholars in law, sociology, and political science, as well as civil rights advocates, who will all discuss how civil rights are defended and contested, often growing and contracting in response to other demands and debates. This Teach-Out ends with a call to action for you: How will you participate as our nation defines our rights?

The Teach-Out will address the following questions:

Civil Rights generally:
- What does “civil rights” mean? How has the category been understood both in the past and present?

Healthcare:
- In what way is healthcare reform a civil rights demand?
- In what way does the civil rights “frame” fail to fit healthcare policy?

Immigration:
- Why did the 19th-century Supreme Court declare immigration a constitutional-law-free zone?
- How are courts--including the Supreme Court--analyzing the President’s seven-country travel ban?


A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

One of the biggest challenges facing our democracy today occurs when congressional district lines that are drawn by elected officials to give one political party an unfair advantage over another. This is called "gerrymandering.” This Teach-Out explores the topic of gerrymandering, considering everything from its history of the original gerrymander, to the current United States Supreme Court cases. You will hear from leading experts on gerrymandering as well as citizen groups who are on the front lines of the redistricting debate.

The Teach-Out will address the following questions:
What is gerrymandering?
What is happening now? Why is this such an important issue today and what does it mean for you?
Why did the United States Supreme Court take up the gerrymandering case (Gill v. Whitford)? And what is happening now with this case?
How has technology impacted the gerrymandering debate?
What are states doing to address the issue?
How can you implement change?

The United States social safety net is a complex system with many programs and often difficult eligibility requirements. Many of these programs only deliver in-kind aid (not cash) to people living in poverty, a lot of whom can fall through the cracks and can’t make ends meet.

Basic income, the idea of providing people with a minimal level of cash support on a consistent basis, remains a point of debate in the United States and beyond. In this Teach-Out, you will join leading experts to explore the emerging idea of basic income and other associated social safety net programs.

The Teach-Out will address the following questions:
What is basic income?
What is the difference between basic income and universal basic income?
Why is basic income generating so much interest now?
How does basic income work? What are the benefits and the challenges?
How might basic income help create an inclusive economy?
What is the social safety net? Who does it help and who does it leave out?
How do we currently measure poverty and determine who is eligible for safety net programs?
How do automation and a changing economy affect the basic income conversation?

Guns in America: A WeListen Staff Session (June 29, 2018 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/52586 52586-12868028@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, June 29, 2018 11:00am
Location: North Quad
Organized By: Department of Psychology

This session of WeListen is open to all UM staff members. All voices and views are welcome!

RSVP here: https://myumi.ch/a850r

The Second Amendment grants us the “right to bear arms,” but the regulation of guns is constantly a topic of debate. Many voices have called for stronger gun control measures following acts of gun violence and mass shootings that have drawn national attention. Would increased regulation conflict with the guaranteed right of the Second Amendment? What truly constitutes "common sense" gun control? How should the United States interpret the Second Amendment today? Come to this WeListen Staff Session to learn about the current legislation and regulations regarding guns and to practice having conversations around this complex topic.

By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Practice discussing difficult topics with others,
- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives,
- Learn to productively challenge an idea, and
- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.

Our aim is to bring liberals, conservatives, libertarians- everyone across the political spectrum- together for a constructive conversation about guns in America. The goal of WeListen discussions is not to debate or argue, but to understand the views and values of others and to learn from their perspectives. The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions!

Lunch will be served!

This event is co-sponsored by the the Ginsberg Center and LSA Psychology.

-WeListen began as a student organization with the goal of sparking small-group conversations (not debates!) between people with divergent political viewpoints. Each session aims to help participants understand the underlying values and experiences that drive others’ political views.-

Humans must frequently adapt their posture to prevent loss of balance. Such balance control requires complex, precisely-timed coordination among sensory input, neural processing, and motor output. Despite its importance, our current understanding of cortical involvement during balance control remains limited by traditional neuroimaging methods, which are stationary and have poor time resolution. High-density electroencephalography (EEG), combined with independent component analysis, has become a promising tool for recording cortical dynamics during balance perturbations due to its portability and high temporal resolution. Additionally, recent improvements in immersive virtual reality headsets may provide new rehabilitative paradigms, but the effects of virtual reality on balance and cortical function remain poorly understood.

In my first study, I recorded high-density EEG from healthy, young adult subjects as they walked along a beam with and without virtual reality high heights exposure. While virtual high heights did induce stress, the use of virtual reality during the task increased performance errors and EEG measures of cognitive loading compared to real-world viewing without a headset. In my second study, I collected high-density EEG from healthy young adults as they walked along a treadmill-mounted balance beam to determine the effect of a transient visual perturbation on training in virtual reality. Subjects in the perturbations group improved comparably to those that trained without virtual reality, indicating that the perturbation helped subjects overcome the negative effects of virtual reality on motor learning. The perturbation primarily elicited a cognitive change. In my third study, healthy, young adult EEG was recorded during physical pull and visual rotation perturbations to tandem walking and tandem standing. I found similar electrocortical patterns for both perturbation types, but different cortical areas were involved for each. In my fourth study, I used a phantom head to validate EEG connectivity methods based on Granger causality in a real-world environment. In general, connectivity measures could determine the underlying connections, but many were susceptible to high-frequency false positives. Using data from my third study, my fifth study analyzed corticomuscular connectivity patterns following sensorimotor balance perturbations. I found strong occipito-parietal connections regardless of perturbation type, along with evidence of direct muscular control from the supplementary motor area during the standing perturbation response.

Taken together, the work presented in this dissertation greatly expands upon the current knowledge of cortical processing during sensorimotor balance perturbations and the effect of such perturbations on short-term motor learning, providing multiple avenues for future exploration.

The goal of WeListen discussions is not to debate or argue, but to understand the views and values of others and to learn from their perspectives. The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions.


By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic
- Practice discussing difficult topics with others,
- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives,
- Learn to productively challenge an idea, and
- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.

Questions? Email us at welistenstaff@umich.edu.

This event is co-sponsored by the UM Office of DEI and the LSA DEI Implementation Leads. The planning committee includes staff members from the Ginsberg Center, the LSA Dean's Office, LSA History, LSA Psychology, the Office of Communtiy-Engaged Academic Learning, and the Michigan Community Scholars Program.

As many as 420,000 men were imprisoned during the American Civil War. Both Union and Confederate prisons were filthy, mismanaged, and deadly. Yet they were also places where captured soldiers thought about the meaning of the war and their role in it. This was especially the case in Union prisons for Confederate soldiers. In this talk, Williams will show how captured prisoners’ dispositions to think and reflect also led them to record their own memories. In the process, they assembled a vast, useable archive of Confederate reminiscences that have had a lasting effect on popular understandings of the Civil War to the present day.

On September 20, 2017, Hurricane María struck the island of Puerto Rico with catastrophic force, shattering lives, communities, infrastructure and the physical environment. One year later, Puerto Rico remains in the grips of an ongoing and systematic crisis.

In June 2018, teams from the University of Michigan and the University of Notre Dame traveled to Puerto Rico to film testimonies from Puerto Ricans from all walks of life. In this Teach-Out, you will hear powerful narratives of loss and recovery, abandonment and resilience, failure and hope as you come to better understand Puerto Rico’s past, present, and future.

These individual testimonials are complemented by resources that are meant to deepen your understanding of an urgent multidimensional crisis that involves policy, culture and history, political economy, environmental loss, civil infrastructure, public health, and human dignity. In this teach-out, we spotlight a number of successful organizations, strategies and solutions that are contributing to Puerto Rico’s recovery.

Understanding begins with listening. But “listening” is not just about hearing people’s words: it also implies taking notice of, and acting on, what people say. Shaped by the individual experience of everyday life, the Listening to Puerto Rico Teach-Out invites you to hear many voices from a distressed but resilient island and discover how you can contribute to the island’s recovery.

This Teach-Out is a collaboration between the University of Michigan and the University of Notre Dame.

Please join us in listening to Puerto Rico.

In this Teach-Out, you will hear powerful narratives of loss and recovery, abandonment and resilience, failure and hope as you come to better understand Puerto Rico’s past, present, and future.

These individual testimonials are complemented by resources that are meant to deepen your understanding of an urgent multidimensional crisis that involves policy, culture and history, political economy, environmental loss, civil infrastructure, public health, and human dignity. In this teach-out, we spotlight a number of successful organizations, strategies and solutions that are contributing to Puerto Rico’s recovery.

Understanding begins with listening. But “listening” is not just about hearing people’s words: it also implies taking notice of, and acting on, what people say. Shaped by the individual experience of everyday life, the Listening to Puerto Rico Teach-Out invites you to hear many voices from a distressed but resilient island and discover how you can contribute to the island’s recovery.

This Teach-Out is a collaboration between the University of Michigan and the University of Notre Dame.

Abstract:

Genetically-encoded biosensors based on fluorescence proteins (FPs) and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) have enabled the specific targeting and visualization of signaling events in live cells with high spatiotemporal resolutions. Single-molecule FRET biosensors have been successfully developed to monitor the activity of a variety of signaling molecules, including tyrosine/serine/threonine kinases. We have a developed a general high-throughput screening (HTS) method based on directed evolution to develop sensitive and specific FRET biosensors. We have first applied a yeast library and screened for a mutated binding domain for phosphorylated peptide sequence. When this mutated binding domain and the peptide sequence are connected by a linker and then concatenated in between a pair of FRET FPs, a drastic increase in sensitivity can be achieved. It has also been increasingly clear that controlling protein functions using lights and chemical compounds to trigger allosteric conformational changes can be applied to manipulate protein functions and control cellular behaviors. In this work, we first engineered a novel class of machinery molecules which can provide a surveillance of the intracellular space, visualizing the spatiotemporal patterns of molecular events and automatically triggering corresponding molecular actions to guide cellular functions. We have adopted a modular assembly approach to develop these machinery molecules. As a proof-of-concept, we engineered such a molecule for the sensing of intracellular tyrosine phosphorylation based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and the consequent activation of a tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) Shp2, which plays a critical and positive role in various pathophysiological processes. We have further integrated this machinery molecule to the “don’t eat me” CD47 receptor SIRPa on macrophages such that the engagement of SIRPa and its activation of naturally negative signals will be rewired to turn on the positive Shp2 action to facilitate phagocytosis of red blood cells and target tumor cells, initiated by the specific antigen-targeting antibodies and their interaction with Fcg receptors. Because of the modular design of our engineered molecule, our approach can be extended to perform a broad range of cell-based imaging and immunotherapies, and hence highlight the translational power in bridging the fundamental molecular engineering to clinical medicine. We have also integrated with lights and ultrasound to manipulate the molecular activation of genes and enzymes, which allowed us to control the cellular functions of immunocells with high precision in space and time. As such, we can integrate fundamental science and engineering principles for biomedical and clinical applications.

Accepting Corruption: What role do Machiavellianism and Rationalization play? (September 10, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53958 53958-13504392@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 10, 2018 11:30am

Organized By: International Policy Center

Despite the increasing number of anti-corruption campaigns, corruption is still a considerable challenge in many countries around the globe. We examine the link between personal characteristics and the propensity to accept corrupt behavior. In particular, we aim at illuminating how Machiavellianism and Rationalization are linked to the attitude of a person towards corrupt practices. The empirical analysis is based on the responses of 174 internationally active business professionals. As expected, the results indicate that professionals with high levels of Machiavellian traits seem to be more likely to accept corrupt behavior than those low in Machiavellian orientation. However, we find that a person’s ability to rationalize corruption has a stronger link to the likelihood to accept corrupt behavior than Machiavellianism. From these results, we offer avenues for further research and implications for practitioners.

Aram Simonyan's research focuses on international economic relations, corruption, institutional economics and culture, and entrepreneurship. He has been a guest researcher at the University of Trier and the University of Siegen, both in Germany. Aram has also held financial positions at the Armenian Air Traffic Services and “Norq” Information Analytical Centre. Professor Simonyan will spend four weeks at U-M in September 2018, working on a project entitled “The Role of Entrepreneurial Culture and Norms in Accepting Corruption” in collaboration with John Ciorciari, associate professor of public policy.

Why the working class needs socialism: The Trump administration, the Democratic Party and the fight for the political independence of the working class

Presentation by Niles Niemuth, socialist candidate for Congress with the Socialist Equality Party.

Tuesday, September 11 from 7PM–9PM
Room 1300 in the Chemistry Building


Ferocious conflicts are pitting the Trump administration against powerful factions of the military-intelligence apparatus, backed by the Democrats. However, these are conflicts between two reactionary factions of the capitalist ruling elite. Trump is seeking to cultivate a fascistic movement to serve as the spearhead for the policies of the financial aristocracy. The Democrats want a more aggressive war policy in the Middle East and against Russia.

There is growing support for socialism among workers and youth, produced by record social inequality, continuous attacks on wages and social programs, and unending war. The fight for socialism means a fight against the capitalist system. It requires the independent mobilization of the working class against the Democrats, the Republicans and the social system they defend.

In June 2018, teams from the University of Michigan and the University of Notre Dame traveled to Puerto Rico to film testimonies from Puerto Ricans from all walks of life. In this Teach-Out, you will hear powerful narratives of loss and recovery, abandonment and resilience, failure and hope as you come to better understand Puerto Rico’s past, present, and future.

These individual testimonials are complemented by resources that are meant to deepen your understanding of an urgent multidimensional crisis that involves policy, culture and history, political economy, environmental loss, civil infrastructure, public health, and human dignity. In this teach-out, we spotlight a number of successful organizations, strategies and solutions that are contributing to Puerto Rico’s recovery.

Understanding begins with listening. But “listening” is not just about hearing people’s words: it also implies taking notice of, and acting on, what people say. Shaped by the individual experience of everyday life, the Listening to Puerto Rico Teach-Out invites you to hear many voices from a distressed but resilient island and discover how you can contribute to the island’s recovery.

This Teach-Out is a collaboration between the University of Michigan and the University of Notre Dame.

Please join us in listening to Puerto Rico.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

A star-studded group of former members of the U.S. Solicitor General’s Office will explore the possibility of drawing lessons from that institution for how to approach the hardest discussions on campus. The panel will draw on the framework, ethos, and practice of the Solicitor General’s office to explore insights on how students, faculty, and staff can approach controversial issues on campus—and in particular listening, analyzing, tackling, and responding to arguments on the other side. The panel will seek to offer meaningful reflections on the lifelong process of understanding and responding to deeply controversial arguments, even those that are—to some or many—odious.

Panelists:
- Paul D. Clement, Partner, Kirkland & Ellis, and Distinguished Lecturer in Law, Georgetown University Law Center
Solicitor General, 2005-08
- Charles Fried, Beneficial Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
Solicitor General, 1985-89

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

The Islamophobia Working Group (IWG) was assembled in January 2016 to address the national crisis of Islamophobia and its impact on our campus community. We -- a group of faculty, staff, and students -- have become actively involved in the University’s strategic plan for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and gained visibility across the university. For over two years, the IWG has been run through the Arab and Muslim American Studies Program in American Culture; starting in Fall 2018, the IWG will be co-led by AMAS and CMENAS.

Our work is driven by issues brought to the group by any student, staff, or faculty member. The group strategizes as a collective to figure out the best approach to a given issue. Thus, if you encounter a pertinent issue, we want to know about it and we welcome your participation in the group.

If you would like to join our email list or come to a meeting, please contact Professor Samer Ali (samerali@umich.edu), or IWG student coordinator, Silan Fadlallah (silanf@umich.edu).

Cosponsors: American Culture; Arab Muslim & American Studies; Islamic Studies Program; Office of Multiethnic Student Affairs; Muslim Students' Association; Arab Students' Association; International Institute

In her dissent from the Federal Communications Commission's May 2018 decision to end net neutrality protections, Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel wrote, "The FCC is on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the American people. It deserves to have its handiwork revisited, reexamined, and ultimately reversed. I raised my voice to fight for internet freedom. I’ll keep raising a ruckus to support net neutrality and I hope others will too.”

In this Policy Talks @ the Ford School event, Rosenworcel, a lawyer with over two decades of experience in communications policy and public service, will explore the issues in conversation with University of Michigan's associate general counsel Jack Bernard.

Teach-Out Series: Listening to Puerto Rico (September 19, 2018 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53872 53872-13567905@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 19, 2018 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

On September 20, 2017, Hurricane María struck the island of Puerto Rico with catastrophic force, shattering lives, communities, infrastructure and the physical environment. One year later, Puerto Rico remains in the grips of an ongoing and systematic crisis.

In June 2018, teams from the University of Michigan and the University of Notre Dame traveled to Puerto Rico to film testimonies from Puerto Ricans from all walks of life. In this Teach-Out, you will hear powerful narratives of loss and recovery, abandonment and resilience, failure and hope as you come to better understand Puerto Rico’s past, present, and future.

These individual testimonials are complemented by resources that are meant to deepen your understanding of an urgent multidimensional crisis that involves policy, culture and history, political economy, environmental loss, civil infrastructure, public health, and human dignity. In this teach-out, we spotlight a number of successful organizations, strategies and solutions that are contributing to Puerto Rico’s recovery.

Understanding begins with listening. But “listening” is not just about hearing people’s words: it also implies taking notice of, and acting on, what people say. Shaped by the individual experience of everyday life, the Listening to Puerto Rico Teach-Out invites you to hear many voices from a distressed but resilient island and discover how you can contribute to the island’s recovery.

This Teach-Out is a collaboration between the University of Michigan and the University of Notre Dame.

Please join us in listening to Puerto Rico.
