Teach Out Series: Free Speech on Campus (February 26, 2018 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/49611 49611-11484690@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 26, 2018 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Free speech is essential for a healthy, vibrant, and democratic society. Yet, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?

This Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion, to explore how those views play out in politics, culture, higher education, sports, and journalism, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.

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!

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" celebrates the remarkable life, vision, and heroic tenacity of a 20th-century pioneer and trailblazer. Once the world’s youngest Ph.D., Ruth Gruber died in November of 2016 at the age of 105. The photographs in this exhibition span more than 50 years, from her groundbreaking reportage of the Soviet Arctic in the 1930s and iconic images of Jewish refugees from the ship Exodus 1947, to her later photographs of Ethiopian Jews in the midst of civil war in the 1980s. A selection of Gruber’s vintage prints, never before exhibited, will be presented alongside contemporary prints made from her original negatives.

The Opening Reception will take place on Wednesday, February 7, 2018, at 6:00pm.

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" is organized by the International Center of Photography and was made possible by Friends of Ruth Gruber. The exhibition is also co-sponsored by the U-M Office of the Provost.

A Field of Foundlings: Selected Poetry of Iryna Starovoyt (March 1, 2018 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49979 49979-11611110@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 1, 2018 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Slavic Languages & Literatures

Presented in a dual-language format, A Field of Foundlings is the first in Lost Horse Press's series of Ukrainian poetry in translation. Starovoyt's poetry investigates the curse and virtue of forgetting, the suppressed generational memory of the twentieth century, and the new context of its retelling in Eastern Europe. Drawing on the paradoxes of mythology, technology, and tradition, Starovoyt brings the traces of undesirable history and the minefields of memory into an unexpected constellation to interrogate assertions of knowledge and meaning-making in the world today. In a time where the chaos and power of forces beyond our own seem to diminish the potency of the past, Starovoyt's poems invoke a conscious dialogue with a past that is not severed from the ever-changing present, but echoes in our sense of self, brings some continuity to our daily decisions, and orients us toward the future.

How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?

This Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion, to explore how those views play out in politics, culture, higher education, sports, and journalism, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.

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.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" celebrates the remarkable life, vision, and heroic tenacity of a 20th-century pioneer and trailblazer. Once the world’s youngest Ph.D., Ruth Gruber died in November of 2016 at the age of 105. The photographs in this exhibition span more than 50 years, from her groundbreaking reportage of the Soviet Arctic in the 1930s and iconic images of Jewish refugees from the ship Exodus 1947, to her later photographs of Ethiopian Jews in the midst of civil war in the 1980s. A selection of Gruber’s vintage prints, never before exhibited, will be presented alongside contemporary prints made from her original negatives.

The Opening Reception will take place on Wednesday, February 7, 2018, at 6:00pm.

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" is organized by the International Center of Photography and was made possible by Friends of Ruth Gruber. The exhibition is also co-sponsored by the U-M Office of the Provost.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" celebrates the remarkable life, vision, and heroic tenacity of a 20th-century pioneer and trailblazer. Once the world’s youngest Ph.D., Ruth Gruber died in November of 2016 at the age of 105. The photographs in this exhibition span more than 50 years, from her groundbreaking reportage of the Soviet Arctic in the 1930s and iconic images of Jewish refugees from the ship Exodus 1947, to her later photographs of Ethiopian Jews in the midst of civil war in the 1980s. A selection of Gruber’s vintage prints, never before exhibited, will be presented alongside contemporary prints made from her original negatives.

The Opening Reception will take place on Wednesday, February 7, 2018, at 6:00pm.

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" is organized by the International Center of Photography and was made possible by Friends of Ruth Gruber. The exhibition is also co-sponsored by the U-M Office of the Provost.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

This symposium will be centered around strategies to transform political activism in our role as students, with the goal of protecting, engaging, and further advancing the interests and ideas of communities of color. As aspiring scholars, administrators, political leaders, and professionals, what can we do to prepare for, survive, and thrive under unfavorable political climates? More specifically, how can we continue to build community and coalitions that promotes diversity, inclusion, and equity for all marginalized communities?

The symposium will serve as a positive professional and scholarly space where students will be able to gain knowledge on the ways in which scholars have historically engaged social justice and the fight for diversity, inclusion, and equity. The event will feature multiple workshops and panels exploring strategies to navigate institutional barriers to ignite social change. Moreover, this symposium will also provide students with an opportunity to share their research ideas and agenda, and explore pathways for successfully achieving their career aspirations through scholar-activism.

Teach Out Series: Free Speech on Campus (March 9, 2018 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/49611 49611-11484701@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 9, 2018 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Free speech is essential for a healthy, vibrant, and democratic society. Yet, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?

This Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion, to explore how those views play out in politics, culture, higher education, sports, and journalism, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.

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!

Saint-Domingue by Way of Saint-Petersburg: Imagining the Haitian Revolution in Imperial Russia (March 14, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48828 48828-11308918@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 14, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Slavic Languages & Literatures

This talk will explore how the Haitian Revolution was covered in the Russian press from 1802-1804. Of primary focus will be how the presence of Polish forces in Haiti (who were sent by Napoleon to put down the slave rebellion ostensibly in exchange for the repatriation of Polish territory from Russia) contributed to Russia’s favorable coverage of the Black insurgency. Special attention will also be paid to how the then emerging discourse of romantic nationalism was used to portray Russia's imperial practices in neighboring Slavic territories (like Poland) as somehow physiologically distinct from the French colonial presence in the West Indies.

Dr. Jennifer Wilson is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. While at Penn, she is working on two manuscripts: Radical Chastity: Abstinence and the Political Imagination in 19th Century Russian Literature and Writing the Black Atlantic in Imperial Russia. She has also contributed articles on topics related to Russian literary culture and politics to The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Paris Review, The Guardian, and elsewhere.

Location: Dana Building
Organized By: University of Michigan Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP)

This event is part of VegWeek, a series of talks on the health, environmental, and ethical benefit of a plant-based diet. This screening is in partnership with UM Sustainable Food Program's Movie Series, which highlights an array of sustainable food topics.

The event will be accompanied with catering from Jerusalem garden!

Forks Over Knives empowers people to live healthier lives by changing the way the world understands nutrition. As science has shown, chronic conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes can be prevented, halted, and often reversed by making one change that requires no prescription and is accessible to all: leaving animal-based and highly refined foods off the plate and adopting a whole-food, plant-based diet instead.

The documentary will be accompanied by a Q&A with Marc Ramirez, a former UM Football Player whose life was drastically changed after watching the film. Through the power of food, Marc reversed his type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, psoriasis, frequent heartburn, and lost 70 pounds.

"no monument except the ditch": Negative Space and Lateral Grace on Grant and Twain's Mississippi (March 15, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/50544 50544-11793860@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 15, 2018 3:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Nineteenth Century Forum

Join the Nineteenth Century Forum for a paper workshop with Kyle McCormick, PhD candidate at Michigan in English Language and Literature.

This essay is an attempt to think through changes in narrative form and methods of memorialization that emerge in the Civil War reflections of Ulysses S. Grant and Mark Twain. I use the debate over the narrative quality of Grant’s prose that developed between Matthew Arnold and Twain as a starting point from which to consider unique formulations of identity, an event that resisted romantic codification of heroic identity in favor of a more dynamic and flux-like sense of self and occurrence.

Please RSVP to rcawkwe@umich.edu to receive a copy of the paper.

U-M Germanic Languages & Literatures Winter Colloquium

Friday March 16, 2018

2:00-4:00 PM

Room 3308 Modern Languages Building

Peter McIsaac's essay (available on request in advance) analyses Gottfried Benn’s 1912 Morgue und andere Gedichte (Morgue and other poems) in terms of exhibition. Beyond situating the poems alongside public displays of bodies in morgues and specimens and models used in medical schools and popular anatomy exhibitions of Benn’s day, the essay also uses concepts from Mieke Bal’s Double Exposures to illuminate how the poems themselves operate in exhibitory terms. With this approach, the Morgue poems become comprehensible as configurations of material objects that can be visited in the mind’s eye and that stand in critical relationship to popular exhibits and urban culture around 1900.

Peter McIsaac is Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. His most recent publication, "Medical Collections and Medical Education at the University of Michigan,” appeared in the 2017 volume Object Lessons and the Formation of Knowledge. The University of Michigan Museums, Libraries and Collections, 1817–2017, eds. Kerstin Barndt and Carla Sinopoli. His article "'Es schmeckt nach Kino': Provocative Display and Gestures of Exposure in and around Gottfried Benn’s Morgue und andere Gedichte" is forthcoming in German Studies Review.

Langlands proposed an extraordinary correspondence between representations of Galois groups and automorphic forms, which has deep, and completely unexpected, implications for the study of both objects. The simplest special case is Gauss' law of quadratic reciprocity. In the so called `regular, self-dual' case much progress has been made in the roughly 40 years since Langlands made these conjectures. In these talks I will discuss recent progress in regular, but non-self-dual case. In this case the automorphic forms in question can be realized as cohomology classes for arithmetic locally symmetric spaces, i.e., quotients of symmetric spaces by discrete groups. Thus instead of the Langlands correspondence being a relationship between algebra and analysis, it can be thought of as a relationship between algebra and topology. This realization of the Langlands correspondence is in many ways more concrete. It also admits to generalizations not envisioned by Langlands, for instance relating mod p Galois representations with mod p cohomology classes.

In these talks I will describe the expected Langlands correspondence in the special cases of modular curves (an example of the `self-dual' case) and arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds (an example of the `non-self-dual' case). I will try both to present the general picture and to give numerical examples. I will also describe various recent theorems in the latter case due to Lan, Harris, Thorne and myself; to Peter Scholze; and to Allen, Calegari, Caraiani, Gee, Helm, Le Hung, Newton, Scholze, Thorne and myself.

Reception for the Speaker will follow at 5:00PM in the Upper Atrium, East Hall on March 20, 2018

I AM EVIDENCE, produced by actor, director, and Joyful Heart Foundation Founder and President, Mariska Hargitay, exposes the alarming number of untested rape kits in the United States and the disturbing pattern of how sexual assault survivors have historically been treated by the criminal justice system. Premiering at TriBeCa Film Festival in 2017, I AM EVIDENCE won the audience award for Best Documentary Film at both the Provincetown and Traverse City Film Festivals. This movie will be available on HBO in April, but has not yet been released to the public, so don't miss this special advance screening!

After the screening, there will be a facilitated community discussion in the West Conference Room on how individuals and our community can mobilize to continue speaking up for survivors and their families.

This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Joyful Heart Foundation.

Please join us for the 2018 William W. Bishop Lecture in International Law: Getting to Know Nelson Mandela, to be presented by Justice Albie Sachs, formerly of the South African Constitutional Court.

This lecture is free and open to the public.

Justice Albie Sachs has devoted his life to the defense of human rights, both in his home country of South Africa and throughout the world. As a young attorney, Justice Sachs defended people charged under the racist statutes and repressive security laws of apartheid. Forced into exile in 1966, he worked with the African National Congress from abroad, where his criticism of apartheid made him the victim of a car bombing in Mozambique in 1988. Justice Sachs lost an arm and the sight of one eye in the attack, but recovered and returned to South Africa as a member of the Constitutional Committee to assist South Africa’s transition into a constitutional democracy. He was later appointed by President Nelson Mandela to serve on the South African Constitutional Court.

The Bishop Lecture was established by the friends and family of Professor Bishop following his death in 1987.

Mathematics for optimal contract theory (April 3, 2018 4:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/50371 50371-11724562@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 3, 2018 4:10pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Mathematics

Contract theory plays a major role in modern economic modeling and has genuine application in real life, and many potential applications in connection with new technologies. The main concern is to design a management delegation contract between a Principal and an Agent which sets the basis of a satisfactory collaboration so as to put the best incentive for the Agent to fulfill the objective of the Principal. The problem is naturally formulated as a (Stackelberg) differential game. A general solution approach is provided by using recent representation results from backward stochastic differential equations.

Reception for the Speaker will follow at 5:00 PM in the Upper Atrium in East Hall on April 3, 2018

​Backward stochastic​ ​differential​ ​equations extend the martingale representation theorem​ ​to the nonlinear setting. This can be seen as path-dependent counterpart of the extension​ ​from the heat equation to fully nonlinear parabolic equations in the Markov setting. This​ ​paper extends such a nonlinear representation to the context where the random variable​ ​of interest is measurable with respect to the information at a finite stopping time. We​ ​provide a complete wellposedness theory which covers the semilinear case (backward SDE),​ ​the semilinear case with obstacle (reflected backward SDE), and the fully nonlinear case​ ​(second order backward SDE).

​​We provide a probabilistic representations of the solution of some semi linear hyperbolic and high-order PDEs based on branching diffusion. This is a direct extension of our previous work in the context of semi linear parabolic PDEs based on the classical Mc Kean representation for KPP equations. These representations pave the way for a Monte-Carlo approximation of the solution, thus bypassing the curse of dimensionality. We illustrate the numerical implications in the context of some popular PDEs in physics such as nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation, a simplified scalar version of the Yang-Mills equation, a fourth-order nonlinear beam equation and the Gross- Pitaevskii PDE as an example of nonlinear Schr ̈odinger equations.

Harry Potter's Cloak via Transformation Optics (April 10, 2018 4:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/50378 50378-11724596@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 10, 2018 4:10pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Mathematics

Can we make objects invisible? This has been a subject of human fascination for millennia in Greek mythology, movies, science fiction, etc. including the legend of Perseus versus Medusa and the more recent Star Trek and Harry Potter. In the last decade or so there have been several scientific proposals to achieve invisibility. We will introduce some of these in a non-technical fashion concentrating on the so-called "transformation optics" that has received the most attention in the scientific literature.

Reception for the Speaker to Follow in the Upper Atrium of East Hall on Tuesday, April 10, 2018

The Academic Innovation Student Showcase is an opportunity for student fellows and interns to present on the projects they have been working on throughout their experience with the Office of Academic Innovation. The event will consist of two formats. First, in Forum Hall (Palmer Commons, 4th Floor), a group of 5-6 students will each give a lightning talk (15 minutes) on a particular project or tool they have worked on. Following the lightning talks, in the Great Lakes Central Room (Palmer Commons, 4th Floor), a poster session will begin where attendees can interact with student fellows and interns and ask questions about their specific projects. Some students from the previous session in Forum Hall will be available to answer questions about their presentations.

Please visit the event page to RSVP for this event. http://ai.umich.edu/event/academic-innovation-student-showcase/

Schedule:
1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Lightning Talk Presentations (Palmer Commons, Forum Hall, 4th Floor)

Constrained and Spectral-Spatial RF Pulse Design for Magnetic Resonance Imaging



Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a critical tool for modern medicine, providing a non-invasive glimpse inside the human body with excellent soft tissue contrast and no ionizing radiation. The radio frequency (RF) pulse in an MRI acquisition is integral to producing an image and can be tailored to particular applications. This thesis focuses on the design of RF pulses and explores the MRI physics, convex optimization problems, and experimental methodologies behind doing so.



First, we introduce constrained RF pulse design which enables efficient RF pulse design with meaningful, physical constraints such as peak RF amplitude and integrated RF power. We explore constrained RF pulse design for simultaneous multislice imaging, a powerful tool for accelerating MRI and combatting notoriously long acquisition times. Compared to a conventional simultaneous multislice pulse designed without constraints, our constrained pulses achieved lower magnitude normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE) for an equivalent RF pulse length, or alternatively, the same NRMSE for a shorter pulse length. Constrained RF pulse design forms a basis for the rest of the dissertation.



Secondly, we describe a special class of RF pulses, “prewinding pulses”, that help correct for intravoxel dephasing due to magnetic field inhomogeneity, that can lead to signal loss. We propose a spectral-spatial prewinding pulse that leverages a larger effective recovery bandwidth than equivalent, purely spectral pulses. In an in vivo experiment imaging the brain of a human volunteer, we designed spectral-spatial pulses with a complex NMRSE of 0.18, which is significantly improved from the complex NRMSE of 0.54 in the purely spectral pulse for the same experiment.



Finally, we consider a slab-selective prewinding pulse, that extends spectral and spectral-spatial prewinding pulses to a common 3D imaging method. Here we integrate optimal control optimization to further improve the slab-selective spectral pulse design and see an in vivo improvement of excitation NRMSE from 0.40 to 0.37 and a major reduction in mean residual magnetization magnitude after a tip-up pulse from 0.18 to 0.02 when adding optimal control. This method has the potential to connect prewinding pulse design from the MRI physicist engineering workspace to a clinical application.

In summary, we show that constrained RF pulse design provides an efficient way of improving MRI in terms of acquisition speed (via multislice imaging) and image quality (via signal recovery).

All U-M students–especially incoming graduate students–are invited to attend our annual fair and information session. A networking dinner reception will follow at 5:45pm.

To RSVP, and to be added to email lists tailored to your specific interests, please visit: http://alturl.com/w4rzw. We would appreciate hearing from you by August 25.

The University of Michigan’s International Institute houses 17 centers and programs, each focused on specific world regions and global themes. Common benefits of connecting with our centers include:

• Joining student email lists for information on each center's activities, lectures, events, job news, conferences, funding opportunities, etc.
• Learning about funding opportunities: Each year, the International Institute and its centers distribute over $4 million to U-M students and faculty, resulting in approximately 500 awards for international study and research.
• Utilizing our course lists to identify classes that are relevant to your regions or countries of interest.
• Invitations to special events where you can connect with guest speakers, as well as other students and faculty who share similar interests.
• Earning a graduate certificate or master’s degree focused on a world region or theme. These programs vary by center. Many of our students earn dual degrees with other programs, and/or proceed directly from undergraduate studies into our MA or certificate programs.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event, please reach out to us at least 24 hours in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange. Please contact: ii-gradadvising@umich.edu.

Lost in Translation: The Architecture and/of Chinese Edition (October 3, 2018 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55224 55224-13700533@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 3, 2018 5:00pm
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: Graduate Rackham International

Have you ever wondered how architecture sounds in Chinese? Or questioned if the language of architecture would sound any more esoteric if it were in Chinese? Does linguistic difference matter? What is lost and what is gained when designspeak traverses the Chinese-English divide? How does the medium of design discourse affect its content? Is graphic communication the great equalizer? Is architecture sinicizable? Do you doubt that these are answerable questions? Find out on October 3rd, 5–7pm, at the Taubman College Commons.

In 1922, philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein declared that “the limits of my language mean the limits of my world." With the globally-connected community at the University of Michigan in mind, we invite you to an exploration of the cross-cultural academic expressive production that accompanies thinking and writing from a non-English background. Taking the University of Michigan as a case study, we hope to engage questions of scholarship and public expression incubated in the globalized environment that is the contemporary American university. Rather than focusing on the mechanics of English as a Second Language or as a lingua franca, we seek a discussion around scholarly expression in a multicultural, globalized academia.

Panelists:
FU Liangyu, Communications & Media Studies
WANG Jieqiong, Architecture & Urban Studies
William THOMSON, Anthropology & Architecture
ZHANG Fang, Fine Arts, Design, & Economics

Hors d'oeuvres to be served.
All are welcome!
No registration is required but please RSVP so we can provide enough food for everyone.

This event is organized by GRIN with generous support from Rackham and in partnership with Taubman College DEI.

Community of Scholars Symposium (October 5, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/52888 52888-13107798@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 5, 2018 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The Community of Scholars is comprised of recipients of 2018 summer fellowships from IRWG and the Rackham Graduate School for graduate students pursuing research, scholarship, or creative activities focusing on women and/or gender.

To encourage cross-disciplinary exchange, the fellows participated in a weekly seminar in May and June, during which they discussed their work-in-progress. In July and August, they dispersed for research and writing. They reconvene for the annual Community of Scholars Symposium, to share the product of their summer’s work with each other and a broader audience.

The fellows have designed the panels for this symposium to showcase the conversations across disciplines and fields about scholarship on women and gender that emerged during the summer seminar.

Join the North Campus DEI Collaborative impactXchange–College of Engineering, Stamps School of Art & Design, Duderstadt Center, School of Music, Theater and Dance, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Rackham Student Government in celebration of Diversity Week 2018.

The all day celebration aims to put students in the driver’s seat of decision making. We will explore the topic of VOTING and how voting and not voting impacts students and their peers (students will be able to register to vote too!). Students will learn what they can do in their communities to create change (regardless if they can vote or not). Live performances, exhibition posters on voting, workshops, food, and entertainment will make this event one that must not be missed.

When: Tuesday, October 9, 2018
Where: The Grove and Duderstadt Center
Time: 11:30am-1:00pm
Special Guest: Ruby Sales–Building a Vibrant Youth Culture at 6:30pm in the new Taubman College Commons.
Light refreshments will be served.

Ruby Nell Sales looks at her work as a calling rather than a career. She answered the call to social justice as a teenager at Tuskegee Institute where she joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and worked on voter registration in Lowndes County, Alabama. Sales has made the struggle for racial justice one of the centerpieces of her work through the SpiritHouse Project. Recognizing a need to nurture the hope that still resides in young people as well as to revive an intergenerational community and human compassion, in 2016 the SpiritHouse Project introduced Hope Zones.™ They are alternative learning spaces designed to strengthen the hope, courage, reason, and will of young people to individually and collectively stand up for themselves with dignity, clarity and nonviolent persistence. According to the Harvard Gazette, Ruby spoke about the fight for racial equality in the U.S. and shared, “Even in the face of challenges, there are reasons for hope. Freedom must be seen as a constant struggle. We don’t have to give in to despair.”

Dr. Risling Baldy's first book, We Are Dancing For You: Native Feminisms and the Revitalization of Women's Coming-of-Age Ceremonies considers how revitalization of women's coming-of-age ceremonies challenges anthropological theories about menstruation, gender, and coming-of-age and addresses gender inequality and gender violence within Native communities. The book is available with the University of Washington Press and major book sellers and retailers. Dr. Risling Baldy is Hupa, Yurok and Karuk and an enrolled member of the Hoopa Valley Tribe in Northern California. In 2007, Dr. Risling Baldy co-founded the Native Women's Collective, a nonprofit organization that supports the continued revitalization of Native American arts and culture.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: U-M College of Pharmacy

Does the much-maligned carbon dioxide, a driving force behind global warming, deserve its bad rap?

In his upcoming Distinguished University Professor lecture, Gordon L. Amidon, PhD’71, will explore carbon dioxide from many angles, “the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.”

The talk will take place at 4 p.m. on November 14 in the Rackham Amphitheatre. The lecture and reception that follows are free and open to the public.

Prof. Gordon L. Amidon is the William I. Higuchi Distinguished University Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences. His research aims to understand the gastrointestinal factors that control drug absorption from an oral drug product.

“I will present a modest attempt to resurrect the image of carbon dioxide,” explains Amidon. “While global warming and the role that atmospheric gases play in the ‘green house’ effect has received considerable attention in the scientific and public press, I will point to the more positive role of carbon dioxide in evolution and in biology.”

Distinguished University Professorships recognize exceptional scholarly and/or creative achievements, national and international reputation, superior teaching and mentoring, and an impressive record of service. Each Professor delivers a lecture of their choosing during this event.

Members of our community will gather to view and make purchase decisions from the “best of the best” of their work over the past semester in this interdisciplinary course.

IPD is an experiential, cross-disciplinary course that puts teams of students from Art & Design, Business, Engineering, and Information in a competitive product development environment. This innovative course has been featured on CNN and written up in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Businessweek. The course is hosted by the Tauber Institute for Global Operations, and is taught jointly by faculty members Eric Svaan of the Stephen M. Ross School of Business and Stephanie Tharp from the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.

You won’t want to miss this year’s trade show!

The Problem Statement: Design and produce a product or tool to be used with one hand, that enables people to perform routine daily tasks that otherwise would require two hands.

See the actual products and test them out. Then cast your vote! Network, have fun and meet up with friends, old and new!

Parking is street meter or there is public parking available in the Hill Street Structure Parking Garage.

Event is Free and open to the public, with light refreshments.
