Do you have experience in working alongside community partners in data analysis or program evaluation? Do you want to connect with others who are using their skills for public good? National efforts from organizations such as DataKind, Data Science for Social Good, and Statistics without Borders have been expanding in recent years as more individuals recognize their potential to impact social change. Great things can happen when individuals are empowered to dedicate time, resources, and knowledge to the pursuit of public good. Whether we work in the foreground or the background, we can all contribute to improving the lives of those around us.

Statistics in the Community (STATCOM), in collaboration with the Center for Education Design, Evaluation, and Research (CEDER) and the Community Technical Assistance Collaborative (CTAC), invite you to attend the 2nd Annual Data for Public Good Symposium hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS).

Quantifying human behavior in epidemiology (February 19, 2019 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/60413 60413-14875273@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 19, 2019 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

Emergent epidemics present major challenges to both global health and international politics. The 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak in West Africa alone took over ten thousand lives despite international aid nearing $5 billion from 70 countries. In retrospect, the declaration of the Public Health Emergency of International Concern came late, over 4 months after the first international transmission event. These apparent systemic failures likely reflect the fact that emergent epidemics are incredibly difficult to predict. The last decade saw Ebola emerge in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2018, 2017, 2014 and 2012, as well as Uganda in 2007, but these previous outbreaks never exceeded a few hundred cases, compared to nearly 30,000 cases in the West African epidemic.

A key problem is that the dynamics of emergent epidemics are shaped in large part by societal and behavioral factors, which are all highly variable. We will discuss these behavioral factors using stories from local communities, contact tracing, genomic data, and reports from the most extensive social mobilization effort to date. All of these distinct data sources influence how we use and interpret models from epidemiology, network theory and collective behavior. Slowly but surely, this synergy data sources and modeling approaches should pave the way for a new approach to epidemiology.

Gender Harassment in Science: Is it Just Me? (February 22, 2019 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60849 60849-14972980@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 22, 2019 1:30pm

Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

No, it isn’t just you. Sexual harassment is rampant across the sciences and other male-dominated disciplines. Gender harassment in particular, the “put downs” of sexual harassment, are rarely recognized as creating a negative workplace for women and gender minorities. Yet gender harassment is the most prevalent and frequent form of harassment, and thus has similar negative outcomes for women compared to the kinds of singly traumatic sexual events described more often in the media. In this talk, I will show how the history and culture of science creates white masculine ideals that permeate its modern practice, and how these ideals in turn influence the lived experience, productivity, and inclusion of women of color and white women. I will draw from recent publications as well as upcoming projects to demonstrate the ways in which people who are sexually harassed 1) question the validity of their experience, 2) question their scientific identity and worth, and 3) become targeted for intersecting forms of harassment depending on their other identities (e.g., gender identity, race, sexuality).

2019 NASPAA-Batten Student Simulation Competition: GLOBAL MIGRATION (February 23, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/60209 60209-14849112@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 23, 2019 8:00am
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Weiser Diplomacy Center

2019 NASPAA-Batten Student Simulation Competition takes place in 12 competition sites around the globe. This year, Ford School is one of them. 2019 simulation theme Global Migration is based on real-world data. This simulation tests participants' ability to balance their budgets and their humanity. Will you sacrifice one for the other?

Ford School, Weiser Diplomacy Center and International Policy Center look forward to hosting 60 graduate students from 12 schools in the north central region. Ford School's hosting team of students: Aprisal W Malale (Indonesia), Jessica Taketa (USA), Jonatan Vega-Martinez (USA), Yusuke Namiki (Japan) and Lingling Peng (China). Our judges for the simulation are associate professor John Ciorciari, ambassador Melvyn Levitsky and associate professor Ann Lin.

WHAT IS THE NASPAA-BATTEN STUDENT SIMULATION COMPETITION?

The NASPAA-Batten Student Simulation Competition is a day-long event that allows graduate students in public policy and related fields to test their skills on real-world data. This year, using a turn-based, participatory simulation developed for the competition by the Center for Leadership Simulation and Gaming, student teams will take on cabinet-level positions of a virtual country. Participants enter policy decisions in the simulation software to see how their policies affect their citizens, their economy, and the migrants themselves.

As part of the competition, teams will be expected to put together a policy memo and presentation. Evaluations of student performance will be based on two factors: 1) Their team’s simulation scores, and 2) Observations by subject matter experts serving as judges at each host site. 

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE COMPETITION DAY?

The competition is an all day event. Teams will travel to their host site, where they will undertake three rounds of the simulation: twice in the morning, plus once after lunch. Each round will last approximately one hour. After the three rounds, student teams will be given time to put together a policy memo and presentation. Experts in related fields will serve as judges. The experts will evaluate the policy memos and the presentations. Following the presentations, a short debriefing will explain the logic and data behind the simulation. Winners will be announced at the end of the day.

NASPAA 

Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration or NASPAA is the global standard in public service education. It is the membership organization of graduate education programs in public policy, public affairs, public administration, and public & nonprofit management. Its over 300 members – located across the U.S. and in 24 countries around the globe – award MPA, MPP, MPAff, and similar degrees.

NASPAA is the recognized global accreditor of master’s degree programs in these fields.

NASPAA’s twofold mission is to ensure excellence in education and training for public service and to promote the ideal of public service.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Information Assurance

Each new genetic test or medical app generates or collects more and more detailed health data, but may also raise serious issues for medicine, public health. Under what circumstances should a test be used, and how should it be implemented? Should people be allowed to choose or refuse a test, or should it be mandatory, as newborn screening is in some states? How should the data from these tests be used, and should individuals control access to the results of their tests? If test results are released to third parties, such as employers or insurers, what protections should be in place to protect individuals from unfair treatment based on test results, data collected, or genotype?

This Dissonance series event will take a multi-disciplinary look at these issues from a variety of theoretical and applied perspectives.

Panelists will include:
- Lori Andrews, Professor of Law and Director of the Institute for Science, Law and, Technology at Chicago Kent Law School

- Jodyn Platt, Assistant Professor, U-M Medical School

- Kayte Spector-Bagdady, Assistant Professor, U-M Medical School, Chief of the Research Ethics Service in the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM)

“If you think our country is on the wrong course environmentally, then this talk and book are for you.”

Our society should be able to rally to face urgent challenges like global warming, but we are not. In his new book Sustainable Nation: Urban Design Patterns for the Future (Wiley 2018) Doug Farr argues persuasively that we have been going about it all wrong, proposes a reset, and a clear path forward. This inspirational and sobering talk will forever change your understanding of the challenges we face, the urgency with which we need to face them, and your leading role in our generation’s call to act.

The Living Earth Show: Tremble Staves Workshop Performance (March 14, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61418 61418-15099330@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 14, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

In March 2019, composer and visual artist Raven Chacon and The Living Earth Show will travel to University of Michigan to workshop their new piece Tremble Staves: a wordless water opera synthesizing mixed media installation, manipulation of natural and artificial light and sound, and theatrical performance depicting the urgent but approaching crisis of water shortage burdening the region from California to the Navajo deserts. The full piece will be premiered in June 2019 in the flooded ruins of Sutro Baths, an early 20th century outdoor pool complex whose concrete remains are now a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. This "workshop performance" in Ann Arbor, taking place in the lush setting of hte Matthaei Botanical Gardens Conservatory, will feature one movement of Tremble Staves and will feature members of the U-M Percussion Ensemble.

Chacon’s opera connects narratives of the San Francisco Bay Area’s relationship with water to overlapping Navajo creation stories in which water figures prominently. The work will be performed, from memory, by the virtuosic musicians of The Living Earth Show, utilizing amplified antlers, tape reels, effected guitars, and water as a dynamic percussion instrument. With this palette, Chacon combines electro-acoustic noises, traditional Navajo music, field recordings, and extended techniques rooted in the musical lineage of classical chamber music to craft a vital sonic and visual landscape.

The opera presents the sacred element of water as a struck, manipulated, and amplified instrument–in reverence while simultaneously creating a sonic violence representative of continuing scarcity of this natural resource. The audience joins the performers in the environment, turning a public space into a sonic ecosystem in which all participants are surrounded by the element discussed and interrogated by the music. The intention is immersion; the opera immerses a congregation of audience members anchored in a pond of resonance; communally engaging in the work yet aware of their own complicity in the draining of the water.

Each unique iteration of the piece will last approximately 15 minutes, starting at 6:00pm, 6:30pm and 7:30pm, with an Artist Q&A from 7:00-7:30pm. Attendees are invited to explore the conservatory during and between performances.

There will be limited seating available on a first come, first serve basis. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777, at least one week in advance of this event.

Cartographies of Silence: A Conference for Readers and Writers
23rd Annual CLIFF Conference
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
March 15-16, 2019
Keynote Speaker: Professor Irena Klepfisz

It was an old theme even for me:Language cannot do everything– -- Adrienne Rich, “Cartographies of Silence”

Silence is not an absence, but is charged with meaning and action. To speak of silence means to speak of a multitude of paradoxes, as well as to enter an exciting avenue for literature, activism and interdisciplinary scholarship. Our conference interrogates what it means to plumb silences in the archive in search of unheard voices, and invites scholars to investigate the meanings of silence as a critical category. In particular, this conference is interested in mapping – across scholarly and creative disciplines – questions of translating silences in the archive, in the text, in the subject, and in activism. What are the possible ways of translating silence when events and experiences resist such translation? What challenges and possibilities does silence offer translators and scholars, who are tasked with making meaning of both the enunciated and the unsaid or untranslatable? How can we engage with knowledge that does not yield itself to current academic frameworks? In what ways can a focus on silence help to transform knowledge itself?

Professor Irena Klepfisz received her doctorate from the University of Chicago in Victorian literature, and later did post-doctoral work in Yiddish at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. In addition to teaching in numerous universities around the country, Klepfisz taught for ten years in the college program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, a women’s maximum security prison. Last year, she retired after 22 years of teaching Jewish Women's Studies at Barnard College. Klepfisz immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised among Yiddish-speaking, Jewish Labor Bundist (socialist) Holocaust survivors in the Bronx, where she attended public schools, a Yiddish shule, and mitlshul. She was an activist during the Second Wave, particularly in the lesbian/feminist movement, and addressed issues of anti-Semitism, Israeli/Palestinian peace, Jewish identity, and veltlekhe yidishkayt/secular Yiddish culture.

Klepfisz’s extensive publishing and performance record includes founding and co-editing Conditions magazine, serving as the Yiddish editor of the Jewish feminist Bridges, contributing to Nice Jewish Girls: A Lesbian Anthology, and co-editing The Tribe of Dina: A Jewish Women’s Anthology. She authored two performance pieces commissioned by the Jewish Museum (NY): Bread and Candy: Songs of the Holocaust and Zeyre eygene verter: In their own words (Yiddish women writers). She is the author of A Few Words in the Mother Tongue (poems) and Dreams of an Insomniac (essays), and most recently co-edited The Stars Bear Witness: The Jewish Labor Bund 1897-2017 and Koved zeyer ondenk: Honor to Their Memory (for the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising).

Parental Leaves and Gender Equality: The Effect of Parental Leaves on Women’s and Men’s Careers (March 15, 2019 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61538 61538-15126013@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 15, 2019 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Parental leaves are critical for gender equality as they help employees manage both having careers and children, and recent trends in many countries including Canada entail encouraging longer parental leaves. Yet, past research shows that longer parental leaves can have unintended negative career impacts, especially for women, while the effects for men are less well understood. In this talk, I will present data examining the effect of parental leaves on both women’s and men’s careers. I will first present a set of studies examining effects of longer (one year and above) parental leaves on women’s careers. Given that past research shows that longer parental leaves may unintentionally harm women’s career progress, while they are also beneficial for the health of mothers and babies, here we sought to identify the mechanism underlying negative effects of longer (vs. shorter) maternity leaves: undermined perceptions of agency. That is, to enable mothers to do both, i.e., take longer maternity leaves and advance their careers, it was important to identify an underlying mechanism and consequently utilize this knowledge to test interventions that boost agency perceptions and mitigate negative effects of longer parental leaves. In a context of Canadian parental leave policies, we found that undermined perceptions of agency mediated the negative effects of a longer (i.e., one year) compared to a shorter (i.e., one month) maternity leave on job commitment (Study 1); providing information about a woman’s agency mitigates the unintended negative effects of a longer maternity leave (Study 2); and the usage of an organizational program that enables women to stay in touch with the workplace while on maternity leaves enhances agency perceptions and mitigates negative consequences (Study 3). Next, given that true gender equality involves men’s experiences as well, I will present findings from two studies on the effects of parental leaves on men’s career outcomes. Contrary to the negative effects of parental leaves on women’s careers, we theorized and found in a sample of undergraduate students (Study 4) and employees (Study 5) that the effects of parental leaves on men’s careers can be positive due to others’ enhanced perceptions of men’s “communality,” i.e., traits generally ascribed to women such as warmth, friendliness, and a sensitivity to the needs of others. Implications for theory, practice, and gender equality broadly are discussed.

Today’s health system fails to deliver the best possible outcomes. Research takes too long and costs too much, and opportunities to engage the participation and contribution by patients and families are not yet common. What if we could create a better care system by harnessing inherent motivation and collective intelligence of patients, clinicians and researchers? In every part of our lives, networks are having a profound effect. How could networked organizations accelerate progress towards Learning Health Systems? This talk will describe how several large-scale learning health system networks are eliminating the artificial barriers between clinical care, improvement and research while engaging all stakeholders as part of a single health system. The result is faster learning and better outcomes for large populations of patients.

The LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.

This lecture will focus on Nayan Shah’s current research on the international history of mass prison hunger strikes, in particular the largely unknown struggles in Tule Lake Japanese American incarceration center in 1944 and the proliferation of hunger strikes in immigrant detention in California and Texas in 2010s. The lecture previews Shah's larger upcoming book project, Refusal to Eat, which investigates the tenacious practice of hunger strikes as it grew as a potent transnational idiom of 20th and 21st century political defiance. Following his earlier work, Stranger Intimacy, Shah examines these practices through the lenses of intimacy, affect and the material cultures of bodily defiance.

Bio:
Nayan Shah is Professor of History and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. His research examines historical struggles over bodies, space, and the exercise of state power from the mid-19th to the 21st century. Shah is the author of two award-winning books -- Stranger Intimacy: Contesting Race, Sexuality and the Law in the North American West (2011) and Contagious Divides: Epidemics and Race in San Francisco’s Chinatown (2001).

Shah's new project, Refusal to Eat, explores the transnational history of mass hunger strikes, and political struggle and medical ethical crises through 20th century and contemporary case studies drawn from U.S. and British suffrage activists, Irish Republicans, Bengali Revolutionaries, Japanese American Internees, South African anti-apartheid activists, Guantanamo prisoners, and refugees in Australia, the United States, and Europe.

What is academic freedom? Is it relevant in this day and age? What does it mean at a global institution like the University of Michigan? How does the internationalization of higher education affect it? What does it mean to those who hail from abroad? Does academic freedom globalize? How do scholars and students who move across the world attend to its intricacies, obligations, and limitations? These are some of the questions that we will attempt to answer as part of our conversation. Please join us!

The public is welcome!
Lunch will be served.
Please RSVP. This is optional but does help us ensure that we provide enough food for everyone.

Sequencing of the human genome has led to the discovery that while less than two percent of the genome codes for proteins, most of it — perhaps greater than 90 percent — is primarily dedicated to making a wide variety of RNA molecules. These RNAs have been implicated in diverse biological activities and diseases, opening new approaches to personalized medical treatment.



The co-directors of the U-M Center for RNA Biomedicine, Mats Ljungman and Nils Walter, will outline the tools now available to study and manipulate RNA and how they have the potential to build a bridge from laboratory to clinic. They also will outline their vision for accelerating RNA research at UM through the recent funding obtained from Biosciences Initiative.

These talks are open to everyone and free, but please register.

The fourth annual conference of the African American Intellectual History Society will take place at the Rackham Graduate School and the Michigan League. This year’s theme, Black Internationalism—Then and Now, provides the occasion for a timely and much-needed conversation about the global dimensions of Black intellectual thought. The array of nearly 50 panels, roundtables, workshops, museum visits, film screenings, and plenary sessions provide an opportunity to explore the theme of Black Internationalism from many different angles. The conference will also feature a luncheon discussion with National Book Award Winner Ibram Kendi. Participants are also encouraged to visit the book exhibit hall where 14 university presses will showcase their latests publications. The keynote address by distinguished scholar Ula Taylor, “Frances M. Beal's Paris Years, 1960-1966,” will explore the ways that Beal’s life in Paris highlights the importance of an internationalist consciousness.

The past fifty years are conventionally understood to have witnessed an uninterrupted expansion of sexual rights and liberties in the United States. This state-of-the-art collection tells a different story: while progress has been made in marriage equality, reproductive rights, access to birth control, and other areas, government and civil society are waging a war on stigmatized sex by means of law, surveillance, and social control. The contributors document the history and operation of sex offender registries and the criminalization of HIV, as well as highly punitive measures against sex work that do more to harm women than to combat human trafficking. They reveal that sex crimes are punished more harshly than other crimes, while new legal and administrative regulations drastically restrict who is permitted to have sex. By examining how the ever-intensifying war on sex affects both privileged and marginalized communities, the essays collected here show why sexual liberation is indispensable to social justice and human rights.

This event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works, New Questions series, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

In 2012 the first 4K resolution screen became available on the commercial market at the common 30” desktop size, making it possible for a user with 20/20 vision seated 24” away from a computer screen to be confronted with the same amount of visual information as could be experienced in the surrounding environment. This development brought verisimilitude to another realm that has gradually emerged for decades, the constitution of the digital sphere as a kind of environment itself. Today, we live inside the digital. Increasingly, our public and private lives are conducted online and in digital space where our relationships are forged, nurtured, or deleted, where our bills are paid and finances tracked, and where our ideologies are fed and our politics balkanized by our respective media bubbles. And while the digital now constitutes more and more of our daily routines, it can also offer a distorting abstraction of “external life.” Swiping left is easier than breaking up, and even the most civil among us can become an entitled consumer on Yelp. At once, our digital environments offer new grounds for engagement and interaction, and immersive venues for escape from the exigencies of the outside world. This session will discuss this dialectic. Drawing contributors from across art, architecture, design, and media studies, we will examine the digital as both a totalizing environment unto itself – a bubble apart from the external lifeworld – and a new venue for social organization and engagement.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Join us for a free double feature screening of "Chernobyl Heart" and "White Horse", followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Maryann De Leo and Residential College and Slavic Languages and Literatures professor Herb Eagle.

Maryann De Leo is an American director and producer. She has been working in documentary
filmmaking for over twenty years. Her work addresses timely issues under the umbrella of social justice, such as gender-based violence (Rape: Cries from the Heartland, 1991 and Terror at Home, 2005), mental illness (Bellevue: Inside Out, 2001), and urban blight (High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell, 1995). De Leo has received numerous awards, including an Academy Award for Chernobyl Heart, 2003.

Chernobyl Heart (39 min.) is an Oscar-winning documentary about the effects of radiation on the children of Belarus, 16 years after the accident at the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl. The film begins with the journey into the exclusion zone, driving to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and follows the invisible trail of radiation to the country's hospitals, cancer centers, orphanages, and mental asylums, where the children live, or are being treated for their disease.

White Horse (17 min.) is a short documentary by filmmakers Maryann De Leo and Christophe Bisson that features a man (Maxym Surkov) returning to his Ukraine home for the first time in twenty years. Evacuated from the city of Pripyat, Ukraine in 1986 due to the Chernobyl disaster, he has not returned since then. White Horse was nominated for a Golden Bear in the 2008 Berlinale.

Dialogues in Contemporary Thought V | On Reading, will consist of two lectures. "Alphabetographies," by Prof. Cadava, will consider the photographic work of Susan Meiselas in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Kurdistan, and investigate her claim of being "attracted like a magnet to mass graves, destroyed villages, the missing." Prof. Cadava will then consider why photography is a privileged means of documenting violence, and the forms of resistance made available by it. "We have been misreading the camps," by Prof. Paloff, will re-evaluate the moral claims attached to camp literature, and propose an alternative ethics that embraces the reader's individual experience, and the community's memory of the past. The lectures are open to everyone. Questions - email: srdjan@umich.edu

Who or what is the creator in a world where machines generate original music, poetry, art and more? Is the human creator of a machine the creator of the machine's output? Who holds copyright for creations made by computers or algorithms rather than directly by a human creator? How are we designing the machines that will take care of us? How do artists and designers approach creativity differently from engineers? These questions intersect with all creative endeavors today whether making art, altering the body, or designing autonomous vehicles.

Join us for a live, unrehearsed, interdisciplinary conversation with faculty from diverse perspectives to explore the idea of Post-Human Creativity.

Critical Visualities 3 (March 28, 2019 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/60584 60584-14910398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2019 9:30am
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

The Visual Culture Workshop (VCW) convenes the third annual Critical Visualities Conference in order to ask the timely questions: “What are the political dimensions of the affective charge between art and its audience? Between the critic and the art she engages? How does it feel to look ‘critically’ now?”

Now in its third year, Critical Visualities has grown into a major national conference, drawing top faculty from across the country in the fields of American studies, African American studies, visual culture studies, performance studies, media studies, and literary studies. Designed to offer the University of Michigan community an unparalleled opportunity to engage with these scholars in an unusually intimate setting, Critical Visualities incites new insights, new questions, and new collaborations for presenters and audience members alike.

As always, Critical Visualities is particularly attune to the ways in which our interdisciplinary work enables us to engage with current events marked by feelings of shock and urgency about ongoing racial injustice and gendered violence.

Speakers include: Sarah Bay-Cheng (Bowdoin); Kimberly Juanita Brown (Mt. Holyoke); Zahid Chaudhry (Princeton); Laurie Gries (University of Colorado); Nicole Fleetwood (Rutgers); and UM's Sara Blair (English), Vera Grant (Deputy Director, Curatorial Affairs, UMMA), Joan Kee (History of Art), and Lisa Nakamura (American Culture).

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Department of American Culture

In addition to the lecture, we've arranged an informal lunch and conversation for graduate students with Professor Lordi earlier at noon. Having written for The New Yorker, Pitchfork, The Root, and the famed 33 1/3 music series, Lordi will be discussing and answering questions about writing for a broader public. Please RSVP here by Thurs, Mar 28: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJMQWSf2Z_NlcDgAeLkPRCJ_bCydAl9t2zSGnFs_2kpKlSqA/viewform

Soul is in the air again. Each day seems to bring a new documentary, biography, posthumous record release, or Lifetime Achievement Award for such artists as Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Nina Simone, and Marvin Gaye. This talk asks what is at stake in the national soul revival, and offers new ways to conceive of the music called soul, both in the Black Power era and in the 21st century. Reading recent representations of the music alongside earlier recordings and performances, I posit soul as a mutable legacy of collective black resilience—one that at times reproduces and at other times resists the individualizing thrust of neoliberal ideology.

The Department of American Culture has invited Emily Lordi, an Associate Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, to give the inaugural Betty Ch’maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture, an annual event established to honor the legacy of Ch’maj, the first Ph.D. of the American Culture program at the University of Michigan. Professor Lordi’s public talk will take place on Monday, April 1, 4-5:30 at Room 100 at the Hatcher Library Gallery. Her talk will draw from her forthcoming monograph Keeping On: Soul, Black Music, Resilience.

Professor Lordi is the author of Black Resonance: Iconic Women Singers and African American Literature (2013), and Donny Hathaway Live (2016), part of the famed 33 1/3 popular music book series published by Bloomsbury. Professor Lordi has published in prominent journals such as the Journal of Popular Music Studies, New Centennial Review, and Palimpsest, as well as edited volumes like The Cambridge Companion to the American Modernist Novel, and the forthcoming Keywords in African American Studies. In addition to scholarly publication, Professor Lordi has been a regular contributor to prestigious venues like The New Yorker, The Atlantic, NPR, The Root, The Fader, and the Los Angeles Review of Books as a cultural critic. She received a B.A. at Vassar College in 2001, and her Ph.D. at Columbia University in 2009.

About the Betty Ch’maj Lecture: With generous support from the Ch’maj family, the Annual Betty Ch’maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture Series was established to honor the legacy of Betty Ch’maj. Ch'maj, who was awarded the very first Ph.D. in American Culture in 1961 at Michigan, continued her career researching American literature and music, founding the Radical Caucus of ASA, and working to challenge systematic gender discrimination in American Studies programs.

Location: Lurie Robert H. Engin. Ctr
Organized By: Michigan Robotics

Anton Shiriaev, Professor, Engineering Cybernetics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology will give a seminar titled, "Analytic and Computational Tools for Orbital Stabilization of Behaviors of Underactuated Mechanical Systems."

One of great advantages of model-based approaches in robotics is a possibility to separate the task of motion and trajectory planning from the task of a synthesis of feedback controller for stabilizing the preplanned behavior. This is quite different from the way humans learn motions where searches (trials) for new behaviors are embodied and accompanied by feedback actions. The talk will provide a discussion of the second assignment (feedback controller design) for the case when a feedback controller is requested to ensure a Poincare (or the same orbital) stability of a forced periodic solution of a nonlinear dynamical system. Geometric interpretations of the problem settings motivate introducing specific coordinates (transverse to the motion and along the motion) that help in defining math concepts and computational tools necessary for solving the stabilization task for smooth or hybrid nonlinear systems. The development is illustrated by examples of controlling gaits of walking robots and hand manipulations of passive objects with one or several passive degrees of freedom.

Refreshments will be served.

Skin Stories: Tess of the D’Urbervilles + Under the Skin (April 2, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62158 62158-15304540@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 2, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Nineteenth Century Forum

Please join the Nineteenth Century Forum for a public lecture given by Alicia Christoff, Assistant Professor of English at Amherst College.

It may seem strange to pair Jonathan Glazer’s unsettling science fiction film Under the Skin (2013), about an alien inhabiting the body of a woman (played by Scarlett Johannson), with Thomas Hardy’s much more terrestrial Tess of the D’Urbervilles (1891). This talk, however, brings the film and novel together to show that Tess too is a skin story: a story of “beautiful feminine tissue,” bodily surfaces, phenomenological sensation, the male gaze, female agency, embodiment, and their violation – and an implicit story of racialization as well. The talk builds on Kaja Silverman’s foundational essay on female subjectivity and specularity in Tess by testing it against Under the Skin, which I argue eerily re-echoes many of the Victorian novel’s central images and tropes. More largely, I am interested in how the act of pairing Victorian and modern texts can provide Victorian studies scholars ways of engaging new work in critical theory – here, recent theorizations of race, blackness, and visuality – that is sometimes felt to be debarred by our objects of study.

Queer Spiritual Drifting: Site-Specific Performance and Writing

Tuesday, April 2, 2019
6:00pm
Walgreen Drama Center, Room B207

How can drifting find space on the page? Let’s think together about connections between performance practice and writing, about embodiment and the page, and about widening audiencing procedures for performance. In 2017, Petra Kuppers travelled to Belgium and the Netherlands as part of an Olimpias disability performance exploration of queer spiritual asylum spaces. In this talk, Petra will discuss these performance actions and the resulting publication, a travelogue essay in Performance Research, ‘Queer Spiritual Drifting: Not at home in The Beguinage.’

The Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance. Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students, scholars, and the community, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777, at least one week 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.

Social Worth Affirmation (April 5, 2019 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61127 61127-15036281@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 5, 2019 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Teams often fail to reach their potential because each member’s need to feel accepted prevents him or her from offering their unique perspective or information to the team. Drawing on self-affirmation theory, we propose that social worth affirmation – which we define as the process by which an individual’s unique contributions are affirmed by social relationships – can prepare individuals to contribute to team performance more effectively. We theorize that affirming team members’ social worth spills over to the new team context, thereby decreasing their social concerns about being accepted by other members. This, in turn, leads to better information exchange and performance in teams. In a first field experiment, we found that teams in which members experienced social worth affirmation prior to team formation performed better on a problem-solving task (compared to teams without social worth affirmation). In a second experiment, conducted using task-oriented teams in the U.S. military, we tested a full model that social worth affirmation influences information exchange and team performance by reducing members’ concerns about social acceptance. In the third experiment using virtual teams, we find that social worth affirmation improves teams’ ability to exchange information by sharing unique information cues.

Making Connections: Data Science Approaches to Understanding Mood and Cognition in the Modern Era (April 5, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62825 62825-15477378@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 5, 2019 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: In this talk Dr. Leow will share her reflections, as both a computational researcher and a practicing psychiatrist, on the current landscape of psychiatric neuroimaging research and where we go from here.

To this end, she argues that recent advances in data science and information technology will revolutionize the way we conceptualize psychiatric disorders and enable us to objectively quantify their symptomatology, which traditionally has been primarily based on self reports.

To illustrate, she will highlight two lines of ongoing research that apply data science approaches to the assessment of mood and cognition. In the first example, she will propose how EEG connectomics coupled with manifold learning and dimensionality reduction may allow us to measure the ‘speed of thinking’ on a sub-second time scale. In the second example, she will introduce her recent joint work with Dr. Melvin McInnis that seeks to unobtrusively turn smartphones into ‘stethoscopes’ of the brain, in real time and in the wild.



Bio: Dr. Alex Leow is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry, Bioengineering, and Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and an attending physician at the University of Illinois Hospital. With Dr. Olu Ajilore, Alex founded the Collaborative Neuroimaging Environment for Connectomics (CoNECt) at UIC. CoNECt is an inter-departmental research team devoted to the study of the human brain using multidisciplinary approaches of brain imaging, non-invasive brain stimulation, Big Data analytics, virtual-reality immersive visualization, and more recently mobile technologies.

Most relevant to this talk, Alex is honored to the project lead of the BiAffect project. BiAffect is the first scientific study that seeks to turn smartphones into “brain fitness trackers”, by unobtrusively inferring neuropsychological functioning using entirely passively-collected typing kinematics metadata (i.e., not what you type but how you type it) from a smartphone’s virtual keyboard. The iOS BiAffect study app now powers the first-ever crowd-sourced research study to unobtrusively measure mood and cognition in real-time using iPhones and Apple’s ResearchKit framework.

The CoNECt team’s research has been extensively featured in the news, including more recently in Chicago Tribune, Chicago Tonight, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press news, and the Rolling Stone.

Organized By: Native American Studies

Native American Studies at the University of Michigan presents the 2019 Robert F. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: An Evening With Mary Kathryn Nagle
"Native Theater in the 21st Century: Piercing the Invisibility and Restoring Our Humanity"

This event is free and open to the public. There will be a catered reception to follow the lecture.

Mary Kathryn Nagle is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation. She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Yale Indigenous Performing Arts Program. She is also a partner at Pipestem Law, P.C., where she works to protect tribal sovereignty and the inherent right of Indian Nations to protect their women and children from domestic violence and sexual assault. Nagle has authored numerous briefs in federal appellate courts, including the United States Supreme Court. Nagle studied theater and social justice at Georgetown University as an undergraduate student, and received her J.D. from Tulane Law School where she graduated summe cum laude and received the John Minor Wisdom Award. She is a frequent speaker at law schools and symposia across the country. Her articles have been published in law review journals including the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender, Yale Law Journal (online forum), Tulsa Law Review, and Tulane Law Review, among others.

Nagle is an alumn of the 2012 PUBLIC THEATER Emerging Writers Group, where she developed her play “Manahatta” in PUBLIC STUDIO (May 2014). Productions include “Miss Lead” (Amerinda, 59E59, January 2014), and “Fairly Traceable” (Native Voices at the Autry, March 2017), “Sovereignty” (Arena Stage), “Manahatta” (Oregon Shakespeare Festival), and Return to Niobrara (Rose Theater). In 2019, Portland Center Stage will produce the world premiere of “Crossing Mnisose.”

Nagle has received commissions from Arena Stage (“Sovereignty”), the Rose Theater (“Return to Niobrara,” Omaha, Nebraska), Portland Center Stage (“Mnisose”), Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Yale Repertory Theatre (“A Pipe for February”), and Round House Theater.

The Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students, Ann Arbor and Detroit, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally, because of the statewide publicity it generates, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.

UM RC Deutsches Theater presents Blaubart - Hoffnung der Frauen (April 6, 2019 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62646 62646-15416709@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 6, 2019 8:00pm
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

In this sometimes dark, sometimes hilarious play by contemporary German playwright Dea Loher, you’ll meet Heinrich Blaubart (Blaubart means Blue Beard), who bears some resemblance to Blue Beard from the French fairy tale by the same name, who kills his wives when they disobey him and enter the forbidden chamber of his castle. Like the original Blue Beard, Heinrich Blaubart brings death to women he meets. Unlike the original Blue Beard, though, he doesn’t seek to do so; in fact, his fear of relationships makes him try to avoid women. This, of course, makes him all the more attractive to the women he encounters. On a deeper level, the play suggests that everyone is searching for something different and for some acceptance. Perhaps one should take heed, though, of Maeterlinck’s warning that: “There is a Blue Beard room in everyone’s soul that should never be opened.”

Presented in German by students enrolled in RCHums334: From the Page to the Stage. Surtitles will make it possible for even non-German speakers to follow the action on stage. Directed by Janet Hegman Shier.

Saturday, April 6 at 8 PM and Sunday matinée, April 7 at 2 PM in the Keene Theater (lower level of East Quad).

We recommend a donation of $5 or non-perishable food items though no one will be turned away at the door. Proceeds go to SAFE HOUSE and Food Gatherers.

About RC Deutsches Theater: Since 1985, the focus of this RC course offering is on acting and on reading plays by contemporary German-speaking authors. We supertitle our plays. Audiences will note the resemblance to the way theater is performed in much of Europe with minimal (or sometimes no) set.

Organized By: Engaging Scientists in Policy and Advocacy

Join the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) and Engaging Scientists in Policy and Advocacy (ESPA) for a discussion and letter writing party on the critical role science plays in equitable federal protections.  

We’ll discuss the current state of science in policymaking, review some of the best ways to get attention for the issues, and then write letters that inform the public and your policymakers about those issues. 
 
When: Thursday, April 11, 5-6:30pm 
Where: Earl Lewis Room in the Rackham Graduate School (915 E. Washington Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48109) 
What to bring: a laptop and/or notebook and an appetite for science policy and snacks 
Food, drinks, resources and support to write your letters will be provided. 
 
From the proposed rollbacks to the Chemical Facility Safety and air quality rules to inaction on highly fluorinated chemicals (PFAS) at the Environmental Protection Agency, the effects of federal decisions have great bearing on the health and safety of the people of Michigan, particularly
on already overburdened populations. But proactive solutions do exist.  
 
Don’t have time to write a letter?  
Stop by and sign a postcard to your members of Congress and make sure they know their science-loving constituents are counting on them to lead on our health, safety, and environmental protections.

Amala Dancers, a U of M student organization, who create a collective dance space for all students of African descent. This group engages in a cultural sharing between the African Diaspora and the African Continent, connecting those who were removed from their ancestral movement lineage to its longstanding history. South Asian Awareness Network, a U of M student organization, who will share excerpts of their new work, Bloom, which uses bharatnatyam, spoken word, and music to create an interdisciplinary performance on sexual assault awareness and self-empowerment of survivors in the South Asian community. (Adjacent space available for self-care for survivors during the performance.) “Regained,” a performance exploring dance as a form of healing, by U-M Dance majors Shannon Nulf and Victoria Briones.

The SMTD@UMMA performance series is generously supported by the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund and the Greg Hodes and Heidi Hertel Hodes—Partners in the Arts Endowment Fund.

Everyone thinks they know what digital means. So pervasive are digital technologies in the 21st century that it is difficult to find critical distance from this immersive new world of ubiquitous connectivity, social media feeds, smartphones, mobile apps, responsive design, algorithmic recommendation systems, and voice-controlled home shopping assistants. While the question “what is the digital?” is compelling, the more pressing question might be instead: what does it mean to be alive in the digital age?

Across campus, this question will emerge in courses, colloquia, lectures, and informal conversations among students, faculty, staff, and peers. Critically engaging with the big issues, urgent consequences, and radical possibilities for grappling with the meaning of life in this era of digital ubiquity. Whether defined as “animated corporeal existence,” “vitality,” or “to continue, to remain,” we see a profound opportunity to approach the digital world through a spectrum of the meaning of life-ness - alive, liveness, animated, lifelike, life-adjacent, consciousness, awareness, attention, awoke.

Across Michigan and throughout Washtenaw County, issues related to water safety, access, and usage have become prominent topics of public discussion. Despite access to 4 out of 5 Great Lakes, the past few years have repeatedly demonstrated challenges in providing safe water to all current and future Michigan residents. These challenges have drawn the attention of policy makers and experts, but a critical component of the discussion on improving water security must be the values and perspectives of impacted community members.

Join us on April 20th for a discussion between community member panelists and experts in various topics of water security, as they discuss the challenges and opportunities that Washtenaw County faces in guaranteeing access to clean water for all of its residents and the steps policy makers should take to improve water security now and into the future.

Organized By: Hopwood Awards Program

****This event has been canceled due to changing travel plans. We hope to see you at the 4/18 Hopwood Awards Ceremony instead (Thursday, April 18, 6:00 PM, Rackham Auditorium).****

Please join us in the Hopwood Room for a discussion between essayists Hilton Als and Aisha Sabatini Sloan. This lunchtime event will be catered; food will be available at 11:30, and the discussion will start at noon.

Hilton Als began contributing to The New Yorker in 1989, writing pieces for ‘The Talk of the Town,’ he became a staff writer in 1994, theatre critic in 2002, and lead theater critic in 2012. Week after week, he brings to the magazine a rigorous, sharp, and lyrical perspective on acting, playwriting, and directing. With his deep knowledge of the history of performance—not only in theatre but in dance, music, and visual art—he shows us how to view a production and how to place its director, its author, and its performers in the ongoing continuum of dramatic art. His reviews are not simply reviews; they are provocative contributions to the discourse on theatre, race, class, sexuality, and identity in America. Als is an associate professor of writing at Columbia University’s School of the Arts and has taught at Yale University, Wesleyan, and Smith College. He lives in New York City.

Aisha Sabatini Sloan was born and raised in Los Angeles. Her writing about race and current events is often coupled with analysis of art, film and pop culture. She studied English Literature at Carleton College and went on to earn an MA in Cultural Studies and Studio Art from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Arizona. Her essay collection, The Fluency of Light: Coming of Age in a Theater of Black and White was published by the University of Iowa Press in 2013. Her most recent essay collection, Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit, was just chosen by Maggie Nelson as the winner of the 1913 Open Prose Contest and will be published in 2017. She is currently a Helen Zell Visiting Professor in Creative Nonfiction at the University of Michigan.

What are today’s greatest challenges and most important choices? How do we maintain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching? What will the future workplace look like? Yuval Harari, author of the subject book, has a unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going. We will discuss many pressing issues, including problems associated with liberal democracy, nationalism, immigration, religion, and the educational and economic response to automation. The author invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty by presenting complex contemporary challenges in 21 clear and accessible lessons. Each aims to stimulate further thinking and help us participate in some major conversations of our time.
These sessions for those 50 and above will be led by Instructors Gail Hubbard and Ron Frisch. The Study Group meets on Fridays from 1-3 p.m., from April 19-May 17.

Replication is an essential part of any science, confirming or adjusting our understanding of the world through repeated exploration of a phenomenon of interest. While there has been an increased interest in the role of replication studies, there also exists skepticism regarding the need for more replication. Our empirical analysis of 470 recent studies that use the term ‘replication’ suggests that this criticism stems from a lack of appreciation of the different forms that replication can take, the prevalence (or lack thereof) of many of these forms, and the objectives that are met by one of the least common forms, constructive replication. As such, the purposes of our paper are 1) to explore the different forms that constructive replication can take and the objectives at which each can be directed, 2) to distinguish these forms from other forms of replication with which they are often confused, 3) to determine how common each form of replication is in our field, and 4) to provide concrete examples of different forms of constructiveness from published studies in order to pave the way towards more (and more useful) replications in the future.

Can we improve musicians’ opportunities to earn money from music?

The amount of revenue generated by the music and recording industries
is massive, and by most accounts, increasing. Musicians and composers
receive only a tiny fraction of that money, and many of them complain
that that share has been getting smaller.

Students will discuss how working musicians and composers can earn more money from their music.

Whether defined as “animated corporeal existence,” “vitality,” or “to continue, to remain,” we see a profound opportunity to approach the digital world through a spectrum of the meaning of life-ness - alive, liveness, animated, lifelike, life-adjacent, consciousness, awareness, attention, awoke.

“Living a Digital Life” is the 2019 Michigan Meeting.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Maria Bradford gave birth to her first child in late 1831, and she wrote to her mother shortly afterwards describing her childbirth, recovery, and longing for motherly advice. All are welcome to a discussion with historians, medical practitioners, and new mothers to explore how this stirring letter evokes transcending questions about the birthing experience, infancy, and the postpartum period. Join in the conversation by sharing your own history and personal reflections with other U-M and local community members over a complimentary lunch.

Registration is required; please register by May 7 at myumi.ch/Lqoje (or call the Clements Library at 734-647-0864). Children are welcome.

Everyone thinks they know what digital means. So pervasive are digital technologies in the 21st century that it is difficult to find critical distance from this immersive new world of ubiquitous connectivity, social media feeds, smartphones, mobile apps, responsive design, algorithmic recommendation systems, and voice-controlled home shopping assistants. While the question “what is the digital?” is compelling, the more pressing question might be instead: what does it mean to be alive in the digital age?

Across campus, this question will emerge in courses, colloquia, lectures, and informal conversations among students, faculty, staff, and peers. Critically engaging with the big issues, urgent consequences, and radical possibilities for grappling with the meaning of life in this era of digital ubiquity. Whether defined as “animated corporeal existence,” “vitality,” or “to continue, to remain,” we see a profound opportunity to approach the digital world through a spectrum of the meaning of life-ness - alive, liveness, animated, lifelike, life-adjacent, consciousness, awareness, attention, awoke.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: ArtsEngine

The purpose of this town hall will be to discuss the findings and recommendations from the consensus report, The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education: Branches from the Same Tree, released Spring 2018 by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). The even will also facilitate discussions about strategies for the creation, evaluation, and sustainability of courses and programs that integrate across disciplines. The report represents a culmination of a two-year study conducted by a committee of National Academies members including scientists, engineers, health professionals, humanists, artists, and industry leaders. The report argues that integrating the humanities and arts with science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine results in positive learning outcomes that will help students successfully enter the workforce, enrich their lives, and help them become active and informed citizens. Importantly, a range of positive educational outcomes resulted from these methods, including improved written and oral communication skills, teamwork skills, ethical decision-making, critical thinking, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-world settings.

Dialogues in Contemporary Thought VI | On Life (May 30, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63805 63805-15888321@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, May 30, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

Prof. Branka Arsic (Columbia University) will be giving a public lecture on Thursday May 30th, at 4 p.m. QA to follow.

Description: My talk starts out from remarks Melville left in his Encantadas concerning the Galapagos tortoises and goes on to examine the scientific and historical archives to which he had recourse, from Cuvier and Broderip to Porter and Delano. On that basis I seek to reconstruct exactly what, in the early 19th century, prompted scientists, doctors, and naturalists, as well as traders and ordinary seamen, to obsess about the tortoise as a life form, one that was brought to the brink of extinction by the middle of the century. I argue that the reason why both physiologists in Continental scientific laboratories, and whalers traversing Antillean waters in trade ships, chose this particular animal to answer the question of what life is, derived from their ideas about what constituted pain, suffering, and cruelty. By rehearsing such debates over the presumed expressions of suffering, apathy and indifference on the part of the tortoise, I work to suggest that what scientists understood as apathy towards pain licensed the production of a bizarre taxonomy of life forms based on a creaturely capacity to resist violence. I, therefore, pay significant attention to the differences that science advanced between biologically - as opposed to psychologically - rational and irrational life forms, which leads to my concluding analysis of why, as a consequence, the irrational was designated as available for experimentation and vivisection.

Long Table Discussion: Art / Environment / Sustainability (June 27, 2019 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61559 61559-15128245@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, June 27, 2019 5:30pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

UMMA and the Ann Arbor Summer Festival (A2SF) welcome artist Mary Mattingly to Ann Arbor for a three-day residency, June 27–30. Mattingly, whose photograph, Life of Objects, is featured in UMMA’s exhibition The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene, is deeply concerned with our relationships to objects—where they come from, where they go, their implications for humans, and their impact on the environment. The centerpiece of the residency is a large-scale public art project titled Objects in the Round, in the Annex tent at Top of the Park on Ingalls Mall where festivalgoers will build a miniature landscape with Mattingly that explores relationships with objects, built landscapes, and habits of consumption.   To kick off her residency, Mattingly will be joined by thought leaders from U-M and beyond—A2SF's James Carter, UMMA curator Jennifer Friess, arts curator of the U-M Institute for the Humanities Amanda Krugliak, watershed planner of the Huron River Watershed Council Daniel Brown, Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist Sacramento Knoxx, independent film director and producer Diane Cheklich, and Christy Bieber, co-director of The Aadizookaan—for a discussion on the possibilities and challenges for artists and arts organizations creating and presenting artwork that explores sustainability and the environment. The Long Table format was born from director and scholar Lois Weaver’s exercise on participation and public engagement. Its aim is to foster civic-minded discussions on ideas and questions surrounding the city's creative culture. It’s a dinner table atmosphere encouraging participants to ask questions, make statements, leave comments, or openly sit, listen, and watch.

For more information about additional programs for Mattingly's residency and related to The World to Come exhibition, click here.

Mary Mattingly’s residency is presented in partnership with the Ann Arbor Summer Festival’s Festival Footprint Initiative established with generous support from  Toyota.

 
 


The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art. Support for the exhibition is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, UF Office of the Provost, National Endowment for the Arts, C. Frederick and Aase B. Thompson Foundation, Ken and Laura Berns, Daniel and Kathleen Hayman, Ken and Linda McGurn, Susan Milbrath, an anonymous foundation, UF Center for Humanities and the Public Sphere, UF Office of Research and Robert and Carolyn Thoburn, with additional support from a group of environmentally-minded supporters, the Robert C. and Nancy Magoon Contemporary Exhibition and Publication Endowment, Harn Program Endowment, and the Harn Annual Fund.

Lead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, Tom Porter in honor of the Michigan Climate Action Network, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design and School for Environment and Sustainability.
