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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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


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

Physics Graduate Student Symposium | The MUSE Experiment and Proton Radius Puzzle (July 18, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53033 53033-13209179@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, July 18, 2018 12:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Physics

In 2010, a novel method of spectroscopic measurements on muonic hydrogen resulted in a 4% smaller proton radius than previously observed, and at an order of magnitude improvement in precision. This measurement, and a second in 2013, established the so-called "Proton Radius Puzzle". Now, the MUSE collaboration will simultaneously measure, for the first time, electron and muon scattering of both polarities from a liquid hydrogen target. In this talk, I will survey the physics of the Proton Radius Puzzle, introduce how the proton radius is measured in scattering and spectroscopic experiments, and discuss how the MUSE experiment will fill an important gap in the proton radius data.

Talks will be given each Wednesday and will be 30 minutes in length, with time after for questions. Lunch will be served at 11:45 and talks will begin at 12:00. Unless otherwise noted, they will be held in 340 West Hall.

Prison Archivists: Preserving Confederate Memory in Union Prisons. (August 23, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53656 53656-13444105@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, August 23, 2018 12:00pm
Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Smith Lecture: Exposure to Airborne Magnetite Pollution Nanoparticles: a Possible Environmental Risk Factor for Alzheimer’s Disease (September 7, 2018 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52657 52657-12925293@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 7, 2018 3:30pm
Location: 1100 North University Building
Organized By: Earth and Environmental Sciences

We have identified in human brains the abundant presence of tiny magnetic particles which show striking similarity to magnetite particles which occur wherever the atmosphere is polluted with combustion-derived particulate matter (PM). Until now, all brain magnetite has been thought to be of in situ, biological origin. Because magnetite is known to be toxic to brain cells, exposure to these externally-formed magnetite pollution particles may be a risk factor for neurodegenerative disease, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Rounded, nanoscale magnetite particles – magnetite ‘nanospheres’ – are ubiquitous and abundant in urban, airborne pollution. They form at high temperatures, as combustion-derived, iron-rich ‘droplets’, which condense and partially oxidise as they cool upon airborne release. Often associated with other metal pollution particles, they range in size from < 5 nm to more than 100 nm. Vehicles are a major source of magnetite nanospheres due to fuel combustion, iron wear from the engine block and frictional heating from brake pads. Larger magnetite ‘spherules’ – which can grow to >10 micrometres – are often associated with industrial sources, such as power stations. Magnetite pollution particles which are smaller than ~ 200 nm can enter the brain directly by being breathed in through the nose and then travelling through the nerve cells of the olfactory bulb. There is no blood-brain barrier with nasal delivery. Once nanoparticles enter olfactory areas of the brain through the nose, they can spread to other areas of the brain, including the hippocampus and cerebral cortex – regions affected in AD.

The presence in the brain of magnetite might be causally linked with neurodegenerative disease, including AD. Magnetite contains a mix of ferric and ferrous iron; ferrous iron has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the production of damaging reactive oxygen species (free radicals) in brain tissues. Magnetite particles have been found directly associated with AD plaques, and may enhance the toxicity of the plaque-forming protein, β-amyloid.

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

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

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

Location: Randall Laboratory
Organized By: HET Brown Bag Series

The dynamics of a nearly-AdS2 spacetime with boundaries can be reduced to that of two particles in the anti-de Sitter space. We determine the class of physically meaningful wavefunctions, and prescribe the statistical mechanics of a black hole. We demonstrate how wavefunctions for a two-sided black hole and a regularized notion of trace can be used to construct thermal partition functions, and more generally, arbitrary density matrices. We also obtain correlation functions of external operators. The talk is based on work with A. Kitaev in the preprint arXiv:1808.07032.

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

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

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

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

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

Improving Intracortical Microelectrode Interface Utilizing Nano-Architecture (September 13, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/54258 54258-13563460@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 13, 2018 9:00am

Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Abstract: Intracortical microelectrodes provide a means to both treat and understand diseases and injuries of the nervous systems. A major hurdle to the clinical deployment of microelectrode technologies is recording instability caused by the neuroinflammatory response and lack of integration with the native tissue. The neuroinflammatory response observed after device implantation has been linked to oxidative stress that occurs due to neurological injury and disease. It is important to improve the understanding of the neuroinflammatory and oxidative stress response in order to develop next generation electrodes and treatment strategies. A potential strategy to mitigate this response involves understanding the disparity in architecture between the in vivo environment and commercially available intracortical microelectrodes. The smooth surface structure of intracortical microelectrodes implanted within the nanometer-scale architecture of brain tissue may contribute to the foreign body response. The factors examined in Dr. Ereifej’s work and how they are utilized to inform the future design of compatible intracortical microelectrodes will be discussed.

Neither the mechanisms by which genomic heterogeneity emerges within naturally occurring microbial populations, nor how it drives the partitioning of ecological niches are well understood. Yet the increasing number of environmental metagenomes with astonishing depth of sequencing offer new opportunities to investigate evolutionary processes acting upon them, and link genomic variation to predicted tertiary structures of genes to gain biochemical insights.

Dark matter and inflation represent two of the biggest open question in cosmology. Although they are generally thought of as distinct and unrelated phenomena, here I will ask whether they might be closely connected. In particular, I will describe a class of models in which a stable inflaton is produced as a thermal relic in the early universe and constitutes the dark matter. I will show that the annihilations of these inflatons can efficiently reheat the universe, and I will identify several examples of inflationary potentials within this scenario which can accommodate all cosmic microwave background observables. As a simple example, I will discuss a model in which inflaton annihilations that take place through a Higgs portal interaction, leading to encouraging prospects for future direct detection experiments.

The Late Paleozoic (300 Ma) archives the longest glaciation of the Phanerozoic, and Earth’s only example of icehouse collapse on a vegetated planet. Although glaciation is well documented from the southern paleolatitudes, the low-latitude tropics have long been considered uniformly warm. We hypothesize that alpine glaciation occurred in relatively low-elevation regions of tropical Pangaea. This hypothesis has been widely criticized as “outrageous” and remains poorly accepted; if valid, however, it implies globally cool temperatures at least episodically during the late Paleozoic Ice Age, and raises major questions about how this could have occurred.

The 2018 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme, “The Process of Discovery: How Scholars Write Books Today” will discuss how in popular media, writing is fantastically presented as a process whereby inspiration—a muse— comes to the writer (or fails to). In this fantasy, writers type fiendishly or crumple up one sheet after another. The reality is at once more complicated and humble than this. Come discover how scholars discover. The colloquium series will feature presentations from CMENAS faculty on their recent book projects and will explore the research process from start to finish.

Lecture Abstract:
Professor Muehlberger will be discussing the origins of her latest project, a book now in production about how early Christians thought about death. In this lecture, she will show that research projects, especially book-length projects, grow and develop over time in direct relationship to the opportunities that a writer takes to think about them. She encourages researchers to seek out opportunities to write about a project, long before they are certain what the topic or approach will be.

Speaker Bio:
Ellen Muehlberger is Associate Professor of Christianity in late antiquity in the departments of Middle East Studies and History at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where she teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on ancient history, contemporary religious traditions, scholarly methods, and Coptic and Syriac language. Muehlberger has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies. She edited Practice, a 2017 collection of newly-translated primary sources about early Christian education, asceticism, and reading for the series Cambridge Editions of Early Christian Writings, and her new book, Moment of Reckoning: Imagined Death and Its Consequences in Late Ancient Christianity, will appear with Oxford in Spring 2019.

Vox Populi Vox Dei: Populism, Elitism and Private Reason (September 17, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52375 52375-12652719@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 17, 2018 12:00pm

Populists often claim that representatives represent the people by complying with their preferences and judgments. As Donald Trump argued in the National Republican Convention, he represents 'the voice of the people'. Elitists, by contrast, argue that representatives are bound to decide wisely or correctly rather than conform blindly to popular sentiments.

This Article argues that the populist and elitist view of representation are both false. It argues that representation indeed requires the representative to endorse the perspective and worldview of the represented. But often endorsing the perspective of the represented requires the representative to act against the actual convictions of the represented. More specifically, to look at the world 'from the perspective of the represented' the representative’s decisions ought to satisfy the condition of justifiability-to the represented, namely, they must rest on reasoning that is accessible to the represented.

This understanding of representation has broader implications for political theory. It implies that private reason has important role to play in democratic politics: the constituency’s basic convictions should be taken into account in the reasoning of the representatives. Yet the duty of representation, that requires that the representatives' reasons be accessible to the represented, is only a pro tanto duty that can be overridden by conflicting normative considerations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oceanic islands and archipelagos provide simplified biological communities compared to continental settings, making them useful systems for ecological and evolutionary investigation. Much of our general understanding of how such insular communities assemble over time comes from top-down extrapolations of process from species distribution data and molecular phylogenetic data. Here I will argue that to connect pattern with process, geographically explicit individual-based bottom-up approaches are needed that are broadly representative of the community itself. We have been working toward this, developing community-level sampling protocols for arthropod taxa that integrate DNA sequencing techniques to simultaneously facilitate taxonomic assignment and test hypotheses about the drivers of speciation. I will present results that reveal the subtle but pervasive impacts of island topography and climate that act in concert to drive speciation across entire arthropod communities. I will also present data from recent efforts within our research group to overcome the logistical constraints of geographic and taxonomic scale for comparative molecular analysis of invertebrate communities.

Morag Myerscough: Belonging (September 20, 2018 5:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53877 53877-13472304@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 20, 2018 5:10pm

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

A proud Londoner, Morag Myerscough has always lived in the city and has been fascinated by how color, pattern, and words can change urban environments and perceptions of spaces into places. From schools and hospitals to cultural hubs and town centers, Myerscough explores the theme of “belonging” in her work, using it to transform public spaces by creating welcoming, engaging experiences for everyone. Myerscough’s Temple of Agape, built for the 2014 Festival of Love on London’s South Bank, used public space to create an open, interactive symbol of devotion to love in all of its forms. Rooted in creating a sense of joy and belonging for all who encounter a space, Myerscough creates specific local responses to each distinct audience that will see and experience her work, using it to create community and build identity. Her visual vocabulary is inclusive by nature and its effortless energy resonates both visually and emotionally with audiences well beyond geographical and cultural boundaries. Myerscough’s contribution to educational environments was recognized in 2015, when her work with Allford Hall Monaghan Morris on Burntwood School won the Stirling Prize for Architecture. She was made an RSA Royal Designer for Industry in 2017.

Supported by Design Core Detroit Detroit Month of Design, U-M Institute for the Humanities, and Gifts of Art, Michigan Medicine.

Continents ride high because they are underlain by thick, in contrast to the low riding ocean basins, which have thin crust. The birth of continent is fundamentally controlled by processes that generate thick crust: magmatism and tectonic compression. Continents are born in magmatic orogenies, during which magmatism and thickening feedback on each other to influence the extent and nature of magmatic differentiation. As crust thickens, the depth and extent of differentiation increases, eventually resulting in the fractionation of garnet, which drives residual magmas towards silicic and iron depleted signatures. Eventually, these garnet-rich cumulates, owing to their high densities founder back into the mantle, leaving behind a felsic continental crust. A key component to continent formation processes is erosion. Erosion is highest during magmatism, when the crust is thick and elevations high, resulting in rapid synmagmatic exhumation. As the magmatic and tectonic driving forces wane, continued erosion gradually thins the crust, causing elevations to decrease. With time, thermal relaxation becomes important, resulting in further subsidence. Eventually, the mountain subsides into a continental basin and transitions from erosion to deposition. The final resting state of a continent depends on a number of factors, including the average temperature of the mantle. As the Earth cools, the resting states of stable continents rise, returning them to above sea level.

AMAS Lecture: As Black Muslim as Bean Pie: Food, Faith, and Nationhood in African American Islam (September 25, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54303 54303-13565725@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 25, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Arab and Muslim American Studies (AMAS)

*Bean pie will be served!*

If American national identity can be signified by apple pie, then African American Muslim identity can be signified by navy bean pie. Developed in the early 20th century by members of the Nation of Islam (NOI), the bean pie has achieved iconic status in Black urban communities as a tasty dessert associated closely with African American Muslims (in and out of the NOI) who produce and distribute it. As a signature dish, the pie is much more than an edible treat—baked into the pie are communities’ spiritual commitments, political ideologies, cultural discourses, and economic programs. Drawing on oral histories and archival sources, this presentation will examine what the navy bean pie and food practices of African American Muslims can tell us about their faith, politics, and culture.

Zaheer Ali is the Oral Historian at Brooklyn Historical Society, where he currently directs Muslims in Brooklyn, a public history and arts project designed to amplify the stories of Brooklyn’s Muslim communities and contextualize those stories in the broader histories of Brooklyn, New York City, and the United States. His work on the project was recently featured in a now viral video on the Muslim bean pie for Slate.com’s Who’s Afraid of Aymann Ismail? that has been viewed over 4 million times on Facebook, with over 50,000 shares. He also co-hosts and co-produces Flatbush + Main, Brooklyn Historical Society’s award-winning monthly podcast, now in its third year of exploring Brooklyn’s past and present through scholarly discussions, historical archives, and oral histories. Formerly, he served as Project Manager of Columbia University’s Malcolm X Project under the direction of the late Manning Marable, and served as a lead researcher for Marable’s Pulitzer Prize winning biography, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention (2011). In addition to Brooklyn, Muslims in America, and Malcolm X, his scholarly interests include 20th century United States history, the Black freedom movement, and Prince Rogers Nelson—topics explored in courses he has taught as an adjunct lecturer at New York University.

HET Brown Bag Seminar | Soft Gravitons and Hawking Radiation (September 26, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55886 55886-13802781@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 26, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Randall Laboratory
Organized By: HET Brown Bag Series

We study the effect of the factorization of infrared dynamics on the process of particle creation near a black hole horizon. We show that the emission of soft particles factors out of the S-matrix in the fixed-background approximation and to leading order in the soft limit. The factorization is implemented by dressing the incoming and outgoing asymptotic states with clouds of soft photons and soft gravitons. We find that while the soft photon cloud has no effect, the soft graviton cloud induces a phase shift in the Bogolyubov coefficients relating the incoming and outgoing modes. However, the flux of outgoing particles, given by the absolute value of the Bogolyubov coefficient, is insensitive to this phase.

Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Plasma physics was one of the first adopters of computational science with the creation of the National Magnetic Fusion Energy Computing Center. Computation has al-lowed the prediction of complex, nonlinear, and/or collisional phenomena, including plasma equilibria, transport, and wave prop-agation. This talk will review how computa-tion has been used to predict propagation of waves into plasma for, e.g, heating and the use of strongly nonlinear waves for rapid ac-celeration of particles. It will then turn to the future to discuss some improvements com-ing by way of new algorithms and new com-putational paradigms. In particular, we will discuss Speed Limited Particle In Cell (SLPIC), which provides a breakthrough in our ability to model slow plasma phenomena.

About the Speaker: John Cary, Professor of Physics, University of Colorado, and CEO and co-founder, Tech-X Corporation, received his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1979. He previously worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Institute for Fusion Studies at the University of Texas.

HET Seminar | Black Holes, Nuggets, & Blobs. Oh my! (September 28, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55888 55888-13802783@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 28, 2018 3:00pm

Organized By: HET Seminars

The past few years have seen a growing interest to explore dark matter candidates that are outside of the standard WIMP / axion paradigms. A resurgence of macroscopic dark matter candidates have brought with it a mix of whimsical names — primordial black holes, asymmetric dark matter nuggets, and dark blobs — to name a few. In general the difficulty with macro dark matter is not the observational constraints, which are typically quite sparse and weak, but rather the challenge is finding a well-motivated mechanism for producing gram-sized dark matter objects. In this talk, I will argue that “dark quark nuggets” are a generic prediction of confining, hidden-sector gauge theories. I will discuss the phenomenology of these theories, the cosmological production of dark quark nuggets, and their observational probes.

Smith Lecture: Under the Feet of Dinosaurs: A New View of Late Cretaceous Landscapes Along the Margin of the Western Interior Seaway (September 28, 2018 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52660 52660-12925296@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 28, 2018 3:30pm
Location: 1100 North University Building
Organized By: Earth and Environmental Sciences

Terrestrial ecosystems occupying the coastal floodplains of western North America during the Late Cretaceous were comprised of diverse assemblages of plants (e.g. gingkos, conifers and angiosperms) and herbivorous vertebrates (e.g. hadrosaurid and ceratopsid dinosaurs), even over relatively small spatial scales. Such taxonomic diversity is unusual, and begs the question of how these organisms were distributed over, and were influenced by, the landscapes they occupied. In an effort to answer this question, stable isotope isotope data have been collected from hadrosaurid tooth enamel & dentine, gar fish scales, paleosol alkanes and carbonate nodules, and micritic pond carbonates of the Campanian-aged Kaiparowits Formation in southern Utah. Results suggest the existence of fluvial systems akin to those of present-day Cambodia, with interfluves impacted by episodic flooding and the resultant mixing of water from low and high elevation sources. Carbon cycling in interfluve soils took place via oxidation and/or methanogenesis, depending on soil drainage/the degree of seasonal flooding. Vegetation appears to track landscape-scale variations in hydrology and carbon cycling, with closed-canopy and open–canopy forests associated with wetter and drier environments, respectively. In turn, the movement of dinosaurs appears to track vegetation, with different groups eating vegetation from only one type of forest or the other. Taken together, these results suggest that differences in soil drainage over a landscape allowed for the occurrence of many unique floral assemblages in close proximity, each of which supported its own faunal assemblage.

The 2018 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme, “The Process of Discovery: How Scholars Write Books Today” will discuss how in popular media, writing is fantastically presented as a process whereby inspiration—a muse— comes to the writer (or fails to). In this fantasy, writers type fiendishly or crumple up one sheet after another. The reality is at once more complicated and humble than this. Come discover how scholars discover. The colloquium series will feature presentations from CMENAS faculty on their recent book projects and will explore the research process from start to finish.
------

Lecture Abstract:
People sure love to talk and write, ancients and moderns alike. But how can we know what people four thousand years ago were trying to do when they used language? We will look at various language questions raised by ancient Middle Eastern sources and discuss how modern linguistic, anthropological, and historical methodologies can bridge thousand-year gaps, so that we can communicate with women and men from long ago. And, just as importantly, how do we explain these methodologies to non-expert readers—how do you write a book about one topic, while simultaneously taking your readers into other fields that require different modes of thinking and evaluation? How do you address one audience while speaking the language of a different one?

Speaker Bio:
Jay Crisostomo is an Assyriologist, researching language and social and intellectual histories of the ancient Middle East. His book Translation as Scholarship: Language, Writing, and Bilingual Education in Ancient Babylonia will be published in early 2019. He is currently working on the linguistic and social history of the Sumerian language, one of the world’s earliest and most important recorded languages.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

How data shaped the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, how it is transforming local and global problem-solving, and the risks posed by a policy makers and a public increasingly skeptical of data will be the topic of a Oct. 1 talk co-sponsored by WDI and the Center for Value Chain Innovation.

Daniella Ballou-Aares, partner at the global advisory firm Dalberg, will give the talk, “Data Innovation for Global Problem Solving: Promise and Peril” beginning at 5 p.m. in Room R2230 at the Ross School of Business. It is open and free to the public.

Ballou-Aares will discuss if data innovations can transform how the world responds to the biggest social, economic and environmental challenges, and if data is able to bring nations, companies, and citizens together for a common cause. Conversely, she will examine whether the ability of data to influence decision-makers is on the decline, and if the impact of data innovations will be unable to address the world’s most significant development challenges.

The central region of Supernovae are one of the hottest and densest regions in the Universe. Due to the high temperatures, particles with sub-GeV masses can be copiously produced if they have non-negligible couplings to the Standard Model. If dark matter has sub-GeV mass it will be produced in the hot Supernovae core and it will have sufficiently large momenta to be detectable in direct detection experiments. In this talk I discuss the sensitivity of current and future Xenon based direct detection experiments to a simplified model of dark matter which interacts with the Standard Model via the dark photon portal.

Organized By: Department of Physics

While the laws of quantum mechanics have remained unchanged and have passed all tests for the last eighty-five years, new discoveries about the exotic states that they allow, “entanglement”, and ideas from quantum information theory, have greatly changed our perspective, and some believe that a “second quantum revolution” is currently underway. The discovery of unexpected “topological states of matter”, and their possible use for “topologically-protected quantum information processing” is one of the important themes of these developments, and will be described.

AIA Lecture | Bones and Borscht: How Neolithic Human Remains from Ukraine Are Enabling the Reconstruction of European Population History and Our Understanding of Ancient Warfare (October 4, 2018 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52046 52046-12382004@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 4, 2018 5:30pm
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Recent developments in ancient DNA research have allowed archaeologists to reconstruct human migrations in ways that are reshaping our understanding of the past. One of the most remarkable aspects of this new research has been the recognition of two large-scale migrations in European prehistory. The first included the migration of Neolithic farmers into Europe from the Near East, while the second involved the movement of nomadic pastoralists out of the Pontic-Caspian steppe at the close of the Neolithic and beginning of the early Bronze Age. Many archaeologists and paleogeneticists have gone so far as to suggest this massive movement of people from the steppe was the mechanism that spread Indo-European languages and established modern European genetic signatures. However, these events remain imperfectly understood. For example, to what extent did expanding Neolithic farmers interbreed with existing Mesolithic hunter-gatherers? How did Neolithic farmers who neighbored the steppe populations interact with this important group? Is there any evidence for intergroup conflict associated with these massive population movements? These questions have been the focus of our research at Verteba Cave, Ukraine, one of the only known mortuary sites associated with the farmers of the Late Neolithic that bordered the steppe. The skeletal and genetic data we have collected from Verteba Cave are beginning to shed additional light on these extremely consequential time periods in European population history.

Sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America. This event is free and open to the public.

Brian Holton will speak about his own odyssey in translation, from the Latin and Greek proses of his schooldays, to the near-impossibility of earning a living through literary translation. He will propose the following questions: When we read a poem in translation, whose voice do we hear? Do translators think other people’s thoughts? Is translation useful for an apprentice writer? He will stress the importance of praxis in generating theory, and briefly discuss his own practice as a Chinese-Scots translator. Lastly, he will explore the tools which make a poem sing in its new habitat.

Brian Holton was born in Scotland and educated at Edinburgh and Durham. Holton taught classical and modern Chinese language and literature in the UK, and Chinese-English translation in Hong Kong. He has translated a dozen books of poetry by Yang Lian and has appeared at major literary festivals in the UK, Europe and the Far East.

Nitrogen (N) is a major limiting nutrient for phytoplankton, and its dynamics play an important role in both phytoplankton community structure and the amount of net primary production in aquatic environments. Anthropogenic environmental changes are already altering or predicted to alter the relative strength of N cycling processes and the balance between bioavailable N inputs and losses in oceans, rivers, and lakes. Understanding the response of phytoplankton communities to changes in bioavailable N will be important in order to also predict effects on higher trophic levels and whole ecosystems in the future.

N isotope ratios (i.e. 15N/14N or δ15N values) in bulk organic matter and in specific biomarker compounds are valuable tracers of temporal or regional variations in the sources and forms of N used for phytoplankton growth. In this talk I will review our recent work to develop chlorophyll as an isotopic tracer for major phytoplankton groups that can be used to study the taxonomic response to changes in N cycling, in both present and past environmental settings. In addition I will discuss how the δ15N distributions of amino acids and chlorophyll in phytoplankton provide insight into N assimilation and allocation at the intracellular level, which may lead to a better understanding of the molecular and perhaps evolutionary basis of N metabolism in phytoplankton taxa.

The 2018 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme, “The Process of Discovery: How Scholars Write Books Today” will discuss how in popular media, writing is fantastically presented as a process whereby inspiration—a muse— comes to the writer (or fails to). In this fantasy, writers type fiendishly or crumple up one sheet after another. The reality is at once more complicated and humble than this. Come discover how scholars discover. The colloquium series will feature presentations from CMENAS faculty on their recent book projects and will explore the research process from start to finish.

Lecture Abstract:
After defining the five major components of religion (discourses/teachings, practices, communities institutions, and leaders), Professor Knysh will examine the applicability and suitability of this analytic rubrication for the academic study of Islam. He will then address various past and present conceptualizations of Islam and the principal methodological frameworks used by Western scholars and scholars of Muslim background trained in the West to represent Islam and Muslims to various audiences. Professor Knysh emphasizes the critical importance of who, when and where interprets and articulates the malleable and multi-faceted abstract/construct called “Islam.” He also addresses the impact of new information technologies and cyberspace on the meta-discourses about Islam, while revisiting the abiding relevance of Marxian and Weberian theories of religion generally and Islam in particular.

Speaker Bio:
Alexander Knysh is Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Michigan and Principal Investigator of a research project on political Islam/Islamism sponsored by the Rectorate of the St. Petersburg State University, Russia. His academic interests include Islamic mysticism (Sufism), Qur’anic studies, the history of Muslim theological, philosophical and juridical thought, and modern Islamic/Islamist movements in comparative perspective. He has numerous academic and instructional publications on these subjects, including twelve books. Since 2006, he has served as section editor for “Sufism” on the Editorial Board of the Encyclopedia of Islam, Third Edition (E.J. Brill, Leiden and Boston). He is also Executive Editor of the Encyclopedia of Islamic Mysticism and the Handbooks of Islamic Mysticism book series associated with it (E.J. Brill, Leiden and Boston). Professor Knysh serves on the editorial boards of the following academic journals: Al-Abhath (Beirut), Vestnik Sankt Peterburgskogo Universiteta (Saint Petersburg), Al-Farabi (Almaty), Islamovedenie (Makhachkala, Russian Federation), Islam v sovremennom mire (Moscow), and Journal of Sufi Studies (Leiden and Boston).

Navigating stability and metastability in the synthesis of novel functional materials (October 8, 2018 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56211 56211-13867060@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 8, 2018 1:30pm
Location: Herbert H. Dow Building
Organized By: Materials Science and Engineering

Despite rapid progress in the computational design of novel functional materials, the materials discovery pipeline remains bottlenecked by the difficulty of synthesizing predicted compounds in the laboratory. Developing a theoretical foundation for predictive materials synthesis requires a more quantitative understanding of metastable phases, which often appear as kinetic byproducts during materials formation. By mapping the thermodynamic scale of crystalline metastability, and calculating relative nucleation rates between competing polymorphs, we can construct synthesis maps to navigate through the thermodynamic and kinetic energy landscape towards desired material phases. I will showcase several applications of this ab initio framework to predict non-equilibrium crystallization pathways of carbonate minerals and functional manganese oxides in hydrothermal synthesis, and conclude with thermodynamic strategies for the discovery and synthesis of novel thin-film nitride semiconductors. Mastering metastability will deepen our fundamental understanding of nucleation and crystal growth, and can expand the search space for functional technological materials beyond equilibrium phases and compositions.

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. David J. Fitzpatrick is a professor of history at Washtenaw Community College. His research focuses on military policy and on civil-military relations in the United States during the post-Civil War era. His most recent work is Emory Upton: Misunderstood Reformer (Oklahoma University Press, 2017). Upton is well known for his exploits at Rappahannock Station (1863), at Spotsylvania (1864) and on Wilson’s Cavalry Raid (1865) during the Civil War, but he is less well known for his post-war efforts to reform the United States Army. Those efforts failed in his lifetime (he committed suicide in 1881), but they came to fruition with the Root Reforms of the early 20th Century. Dr. Fitzpatrick is also the author of several journal articles and published essays.

I will discuss how the string landscape might inform how we think about low energy effective field theories coupled to gravity. By studying the largest-to-date ensembles of geometries for string compactifications, we find several striking generic features: large hidden gauge sectors, regions of strong coupling, and large numbers of light axions. Understanding these ensembles, and the landscape as whole, requires a new set of tools, both formal and computational, including new mathematics and tools from data science, the development of which I will discuss.

Engaging Tradition in Chinese Contemporary Dance (October 10, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54437 54437-13583313@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 10, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan

Since the 1980s, China’s society and economy have undergone massive change, and the speed of modernization has continuously increased. This means that the urban-rural divide has required greater attention. In the midst of political, economic, and legal modernization, how can the deep philosophical outlook, moral and cultural system, and artistic spirit of China’s long-lasting rural cultural model continue to draw its worldviews and values from tradition? This is a problem not only for those who work in the realm of ideas but also has become a keen focus of attention for dance artists around the globe to explore through new dance creation. This talk will explore the work of several young contemporary dance choreographers based in Beijing who are currently attracting significant attention in China. Specifically, it will investigate the different ways these young choreographers are engaging with tradition in their work.

Mao Cui is Associate Professor of Dance Studies in the Humanities Institute at the Beijing Dance Academy. She holds a PhD in Dance Studies and is a member of the China Dancers Association, and she has been the recipient of several prestigious national and Beijing-level awards for her research and teaching. In 2016, she received China’s most competitive national-level social science research grant for her project titled “Twentieth-century American Modern Dance’s Borrowings from Eastern Culture and Their Relationship to its Transformations.”

Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Plasma interactions with surfaces can significantly affect the local material and the plasma behavior. This talk will cover two topics: (1) the use of advanced surfaces to reduce plasma-material interactions and (2) the plasma functionalization of metamaterials and photonic crystals.
The Plasma Interactions (Pi) facility at UCLA enables testing of plasma-facing surfaces over a wide range of densities, energies, and fluence while providing in-situ observation with a wide range of intrusive and non-intrusive diagnostics. Using this facility and computational models, we have developed and characterized new surfaces that reduce ion induced sputtering and ion-induced secondary electron emission (iSEE) by over 50%. Certain geometries improve trapping of sputterants and electrons for high-energy plasma applications. Similar surfaces provide significant reductions to electron-induced secondary electron emission (eSEE), resulting in materials that are plasma-resilient and minimally invasive. The talk will also cover recent discoveries on plasma-functionalized metamaterials and photonic crystals. We have uncovered coupling modes between “spoof” surface plasmons (SSPs) and plasma-based surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that could lead to a new class of devices for EM-manipulating metasurfaces including rapidly tuneable filters, switches, multiplexers, and beam steering.

Note: ASL interpretation will be provided.

The world seems to be in crisis. The planet is in peril. Oceans are poisoned with human waste. Racism is on the rise. Virulent nationalism has resurfaced across the globe. Religion is shaky and ungrounded. Technology is reaching into our lives instead of enriching it. We seem to have reached an impasse on borders and the role of government. Humans usually develop shared stories to understand moments like these. The current narrative that is shared by religion, science, and politics is about the end of it all—the end of the world. But is that what is happening?

Abdul-Matin will address how to confront this time of extraordinary upheaval, a time in which the failures of our economic and political systems have become clear and the harm is deeply and widely felt. In this moment of upheaval, of dissolution and awakening, what is unravelling? What is possible that wasn’t possible before? What is the worldview that we can awaken and cultivate now? What seeds did (y)our ancestors plant for Deep Democracy, rooted in Beloved Community, that you could water and cultivate now?

He will share amazing examples of work happening right now that seeks to nurture whole people and whole communities as we transition away from a world of domination and extraction to one of regeneration, resilience, and interdependence.

Ibrahim Abdul-Matin is the author of "Green Deen: What Islam Teaches About Protecting the Planet." He has advised two NYC mayors on sustainability policy, among other issues, and has also worked with Fortune 500 companies on sustainability and innovation. He has spoken and written for a variety of outlets on diverse topics including Islam and sustainability, organizing and activism, and land use process. A former on-air sports contributor to WNYC’s The Takeaway, Abdul-Matin has appeared on CNN, Fox News, and Al Jazeera, among others. And in 2015 he was named one of the 40 Under 40 Rising Stars in New York City Politics by City & State Magazine.

About the Jill S. Harris Memorial Lecture: The Jill S. Harris Memorial Endowment was established in 1985 by Roger and Meredith Harris, Jill’s parents, her grandparents Allan and Norma Harris, and friends. The fund was established in memory of Jill, a resident of Chicago and undergraduate student at U-M who passed away due to injuries from an auto accident.

The fund brings a distinguished visitor to campus each year who will appeal to undergraduates interested in the humanities and the arts. The visitor may either be a fellow of the institute for an extended period of time or invited for a few days to present the annual lecture.The visiting fellow will usually interact with undergraduates, informally and through visits to classes or by other means by which exchanges with undergraduates may be promoted.

An incredible true tale of espionage and engineering set at the height of the Cold War—a mix between The Hunt for Red October and Argo—about how the CIA, the U.S. Navy, and America’s most eccentric mogul spent six years and nearly a billion dollars to steal the nuclear-armed Soviet submarine K-129 after it had sunk to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean; all while the Russians were watching.

The Taking of K-129 is a riveting, almost unbelievable true-life tale of military history, engineering genius, and high-stakes spy-craft set during the height of the Cold War, when nuclear annihilation was a constant fear, and the opportunity to gain even the slightest advantage over your enemy was worth massive risk.

Hybrids have reduced fitness because of faulty interactions among genes that have diverged between the pure species. The most extreme hybrid defect is inviability. Hybrids therefore provide an easy to screen phenotype to identify what genes and molecular pathways have functionally diverged as genomes differentiate. Here I identify the Drosophila melanogaster allele of the highly conserved and essential gap gene giant (gt) as a key genetic determinant of hybrid inviability in crosses with D. santomea. The presence of this allele in D. melanogaster/D. santomea hybrids causes an abdominal ablation not seen in either pure species. giant is a key developmental regulator whose role in anterior-posterior specification of the dipteran embryo is conserved over 100 million years. The interaction of giant with a second allele, tailless,tll, is involved in the hybrid defects observed in these Drosophila hybrids. These results indicate that even genes with crucial developmental roles that are conserved over vast evolutionary time scales can experience functional evolution that leads to inviability of hybrids

Friday Lecture Series. Lao Murals in Northeast Thailand (October 12, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/54848 54848-13645320@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 12, 2018 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

Research on temple murals in Thailand has focused on those commissioned by the rich and famous—royalty, nobility, or wealthy entrepreneurs—in historic centers of power, such as Auytthaya, Thonburi, Bangkok and to a lesser extent the northern Lanna kingdom. Little has been written in either Thai or English about the unique early 20th century murals of ethnic Lao people in the Northeast, a region also known as Isan. These murals, rather than being inferior copies of those in the central region, are inspired by local Buddhist stories and practices and are executed with a verve and vision unique to their creators. Among their most distinctive characteristics are their diverse compositions and their location on the exterior of ordination halls.

Located in villages rather than provincial capitals, these humble murals are not well-known even in Isan. However, Wat Chaisi, a temple in a village 20 kilometers from Khon Kaen city is quickly becoming famous as a model of preservation, education, and Buddhist celebrations and is even being advertised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The talk will include pictures of many murals and summaries of the stories depicted.

Distinguished Alumna 2018: A Conversation with Helen Foster (October 12, 2018 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52662 52662-12925298@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 12, 2018 3:30pm
Location: 1100 North University Building
Organized By: Earth and Environmental Sciences

Prof. Rebecca (Becky) Lange will talk with Helen Foster, our 2018 Distinguished Alumna, about Helen’s remarkable geological career and life. Helen Foster obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1946. She developed her passion for mapping unknown geological terrains as a graduate student in Wyoming, and thoroughly enjoyed her time at Camp Davis the geological field station where the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences teaches a wide variety of field courses. After she received her Ph.D., she leapt at the opportunity to work for the U.S. Geological Survey in Japan, during the U.S. military occupation immediately following the Second World War. She spent nearly a decade working with and befriending several Japanese geologists while compiling geological maps of Japan and the Kurile Islands. On her return to the United States, she continued her work with the U.S. Geological Survey, and became deeply involved with creating the first geological maps of Alaska. She was a pioneer in so many ways, as an intrepid young woman in Japan, and then as one among the first geologists to map the Alaskan wilderness, which was without roads and so field work involved being dropped off by a float airplane on a lake and spending weeks mapping and camping before being picked up again or re-supplied. Helen loved it! Throughout her lengthy career she has supported the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences - as an inspiration to our faculty and students, as a member of the Department’s Alumni Advisory Board, and as a generous donor. We will present an interview with Helen Foster recorded earlier this year.

Molecular Understanding, Design and Development of Ultra-low Fouling Zwitterionic Materials

An important challenge in many applications, ranging from drug delivery carriers to medical devices, is the prevention of nonspecific protein adsorption on surfaces. To address this challenge, our goals are twofold. First, we strive to provide a fundamental understanding of nonfouling mechanisms at the molecular level. Second, we aim to develop biocompatible and environmentally benign ultra low fouling materials based on the molecular principles we have learned. Over the last 15 years, we have demonstrated that zwitterionic and mixed charge materials and surfaces are highly resistant to nonspecific protein adsorption, cell adhesion and bacteria adhesion/biofilm formation from complex media. Both simulation and experimental results indicate that the strong hydration of zwitterionic materials is responsible for their excellent nonfouling properties. Recent results show that zwitterionic materials do not induce immunological response in blood circulation and capsule formation upon implantation and are able to preserve protein and cell bioactivity. Zwitterionic materials have been shown to be superior to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based materials for a number of biomedical and engineering applications such as drug delivery carriers, medical devices, cell preservation/expansion media, and marine coatings.

Most Hondurans, and the international community at large, consider the Honduran presidential elections of November 2017 fraudulent; the US does not. Juan Orlando Hernandez is not only not recognized as a legitimate president by the people; due to the unconstitutionality of his bid for reelection, he is considered a dictator. Emerging from the people, the #FueraJOH movement has led to creative organizing strategies and tactics, both nationally and internationally. Nine 9 years after the coup d’état that destroyed constitutional order in Honduras, a new generation is emerging to challenge the JOH Nationalist Party regime and its continuity of bad government. This talk will focus on the responses to tyranny in Honduras and how the international community can engage to support Hondurans, both in Honduras and those in the migrant trail.

Bi-partisan discussions about prison reform go back and forth in both state and federal legislatures, but the United States still incarcerates more than two million people. In some jails and prisons, conditions remain deplorable. Funds are being cut in the federal system, compromising some rehabilitation efforts.

Instructor Judy Patterson Wenzel, author of Light from the Cage: 25 Years in a Prison Classroom, will lead a discussion for those 50 and over about who is incarcerated --and about the need for prison education. We will discuss America’s focus on punishment instead of rehabilitation and healing and how race has become such a potent reality in the criminal justice system.

CSEAS Friday Lecture Series. Television in Post-Reform Vietnam: Nation, Media, Market (October 19, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53907 53907-13478725@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

In this talk, Dr Giang Nguyen-Thu will discuss her forthcoming book Television in Post-Reform Vietnam: Nation, Media, Market by Routledge (2018). Since the country’s economic reform in 1986, Vietnamese television has experienced a tremendous shift from a purely propagandist tool of the Party-State into an all-pervasive medium of popular culture. The dynamics of Vietnamese television, however, is completely neglected in the field of international television studies, shadowed by the Western assumption of Vietnam being an oppressed land without media freedom. In her book, Dr Giang Nguyen-Thu seeks to challenge such reductionist assumption to reveal the effects of popular television in recreating the sense of national belonging in Vietnam. This book explores how various genres of popular television, including television dramas, talk shows and reality shows, alter the way Vietnamese people make sense of and organize their post-Reform lives, and how these new genres enable a new condition of cultural oppression as well as political engagement in the name of the nation. In sharp contrast to the previous image of Vietnam as a war-torn land, post-Reform Vietnamese television conjures into being a new sense of national connectedness based on an implicit refusal of the socialist past, hopes on peace and marketization, and anxieties of the globalized future.

Dr. Giang Nguyen-Thu is a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication, Annenberg School of Communication, University of Pennsylvania. She also serves as an on-leave lecturer at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi. She had her doctoral degree at the University of Queensland (2016) in the field of media and cultural studies. Her book Television in Post-Reform Vietnam: Nation, Media, Market is to be published by Routledge in 2018. She is now interested in the emotional politics of social media in Vietnam. Her current research investigates how Vietnamese mothers use Facebook to navigate in an emerging economy of precarity caused by the widespread panic related to environment and food toxicity. Similar to her works on Vietnamese television, this research is informed by Giang’s interest in cultural globalization as situated mediation processes between global logics and local concerns, whose effects much excess the way the Western world often imagines of the Vietnamese media environment.

Location: West Hall
Organized By: HET Seminars

In this talk I will study the computational complexity of vacua and near-vacua in field theory and string theory. From analogy to protein folding, it is natural to expect that finding stable vacua is computationally hard, in the sense of complexity theory. However, I will demonstrate that this is the case even for metastable vacua. The problem is exacerbated in string theory, since setting up the hard problem of finding string vacua requires actually computing the scalar potential in a controlled regime. Such computations involve solving instances of computationally hard problems. Cosmological implications will be discussed in light of a recently proposed measure that utilizes computational complexity.

Smith Lecture: New Insights into the Mechanics of Glacier Beds from Time-Dependent Surface Velocity Fields (October 19, 2018 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52663 52663-12925299@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 3:30pm
Location: 1100 North University Building
Organized By: Earth and Environmental Sciences

The mechanical properties of the ice-bed interface govern the dynamic sensitivity of glaciers to changes in climate and oceanic forcing. Recent observations have underscored the importance of understanding the mechanics of glacier beds by showing that the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are losing ice mass at increasing rates due to accelerating ice flow. Many glaciers exhibiting significant acceleration are flowing rapidly due to slip at the ice-bed interface, but the relationship between the rate of slip and the drag force at the bed remains unclear. This knowledge gap inhibits our ability to make reliable projections of eustatic sea-level rise and has persisted because of a lack of observations. This talk will focus on how recent observations can be leveraged to develop a deeper understanding of the mechanical properties of glacier beds. I will begin by describing a new method for deriving time-dependent, three-dimensional surface velocity fields from remote sensing data, and then presenting first-of-their-kind results from a natural experiment in which the flow of a major ice stream (Rutford Ice Stream) in West Antarctica responds periodically to forcing from ocean tides. These data allow us to observe and quantify the rate of propagation and decay of stress perturbations. After discussing the data, I will present a physical model that relates the observed spatiotemporal variations in surface velocity to the mechanics of the bed. These results provide fresh insight into the mechanics of a prototypical Antarctic outlet glacier. I will conclude the talk by discussing how the approach may form a potential strategy for using the growing volume of time-dependent remote sensing data to help improve projections of future glacier states.

We also celebrate the James Robert Walker Memorial Lecture on this date.

The elements we see around us are all forged in the glowing fires of stars. Nuclear energy and nuclear reactions are driving these fires, and the only way to ever understand how they work is by producing the relevant nuclei here on Earth and studying their properties. For this reason, among others, the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, FRIB, is currently under construction in the heart of Michigan. When built, FRIB will finally give us unique access to those nuclei that are responsible for building the whole Universe.

The 2018 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme, “The Process of Discovery: How Scholars Write Books Today” will discuss how in popular media, writing is fantastically presented as a process whereby inspiration—a muse— comes to the writer (or fails to). In this fantasy, writers type fiendishly or crumple up one sheet after another. The reality is at once more complicated and humble than this. Come discover how scholars discover. The colloquium series will feature presentations from CMENAS faculty on their recent book projects and will explore the research process from start to finish.
---

Lecture Abstract: This workshop will introduce fundamental research resources and strategies for Middle Eastern & North African Studies, broadly defined. Coverage will include an overview of important sources and bibliographic tools; methods of identifying, gathering and citing sources of various types; and approaches to negotiating practical issues (language, transliteration, naming conventions, dates, etc) when navigating bibliographic resources and the scholarly literature.

Speaker Bio:
Evyn Kropf is Librarian for Middle East Studies and Religious Studies and Curator of the Islamic Manuscripts Collection at the University of Michigan Library where she provides research, collection, and instructional support. A specialist of Islamic manuscript culture, her research interests include Islamic codicology with a focus on bookmaking (specifically writing material and structural repairs) and the use of pictograms and other visual content in Sufistic cultures of knowledge transmission.

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
Self-affirmations can be powerful tools to attenuate threats to the self that emerge from the stressors of organizational life. When people are given opportunities to affirm core values and relationships, they are more responsive to otherwise difficult information. Drawing on decades of experimental and field studies, Sherman will present research on how, when, and why self-affirmations can lead to more adaptive outcomes, and the implications for organizational outcomes.

About Sherman:
David Sherman is a professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is a social and health psychologist whose research centers on how people cope with threatening events and information. He is Editor at the Personality and Social Psychology Review and is the president of the International Society for Self and Identity. Sherman’s research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation.

Host:
Julia Lee, Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations

Organized By: International Youth and Students for Social Equality

There is great interest in socialism in the US, but little understanding of what the struggle for socialism entails. The capitalist media is trying to channel pro-socialist sentiment toward the Democratic Party and portray it as a mildly reformist program that involves no fundamental change in the allocation of wealth, let alone the overthrow of existing property relations. It is a “socialism” that can even attract the support of thoughtful and socially conscious investment bankers.

But socialism can only be realized by the conscious political mobilization of the American and international working class in the greatest revolutionary struggle in history. The working class must prepare itself for this struggle by learning the lessons of the 20th century, which was the scene of the greatest revolutionary upheavals of history. It must learn the history of the Fourth International, the revolutionary socialist opposition to Stalinist counter-revolution.

Either the working class carries out the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism or it will be subjected to fascistic dictatorships and catastrophic wars. The political alternative that stands before humanity is not mild reform or the status quo, but revolutionary socialism or capitalist barbarism.

Professor Sol Peláez will present a talk on sexual difference and Latin American literature, concentrating in the works of Luce Irigaray, Helène Cixous, Jacques Derrida, and Joan Copjec. Her research explores how the notion of infrapolitics articulates with sexual difference through a reading of Selva Almada’s work Chicas Muertas (2014). Almada, an Argentine writer, writes a hybrid text investigating 3 femicides in Argentina during the 80’s, the first years of the democratic transition. The writing of Almada traces the hierarchical powers of gender violence and opens a space to think woman beyond the patriarchal binaries and its violence. What does it mean to be a woman if one is not what the killers want, that is, a mere biological body? How not to be reduced to that minimal body that the murderers aim to appropriate totally? How not to be reduced to a mere body without rest, to escape that biological murdering determinism?


Peláez addresses those questions from a unique perspective which engages closely with feminism and Latin-American studies. She approaches an under researched area of philosophy, i.e. sexual difference, and articulates it with contemporary works of Latin American fiction and critical thought. Her scholar work on gender and sexuality is addressing historical gaps in both scholarships and responds to a particular urgency to discuss women’s work and intellectual contributions in our times.


In the workshop, Peláez will be present for an informal discussion of texts on sexual difference with faculty and graduate students.

What makes us truly happy?
Is true happiness momentary or eternal?
If true happiness manifests itself before you, would you be able to recognize it?
Under what conditions does true happiness manifest itself?
If, as the Buddha taught, there is no self, how can we speak of happiness?

In this public talk, three revered Korean Buddhist monks—Ven. Dr. Jongmae Park, Ven. Beonhyu, and Ven. Gwangjeon—will explain the various methods used in Korean Buddhism today to find, recognize, and nurture true happiness in a world defined by the never ending pursuit of material prosperity.

This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the Khyentse Visitorship in Buddhist Studies Fund.

To the degree that workers are currently viewed as costs to be managed, how do we change the narrative for boards, executives and especially shareholders? How do we utilize the desire for purpose-driven work to combat distrust in capitalism and corporations and tell a different story about how corporations create value for society?

Organized By: Department of Psychology

Bayesian hierarchical modeling can provide novel insights into the mechanistic processes that allow humans to complete cognitive tasks. This method may be especially useful when cognitive models from experimental psychology are applied in clinical or neuroimaging research because it allows complex models to be fit even in situations where behavioral data from individual participants is sparse. This presentation will provide a general overview of Bayesian cognitive modeling methods, and of the sometimes challenging task of addressing concerns from reviewers who may be less familiar with them, using an example of a paper that Alex and his co-authors have recently been working through the review process with. Topics discussed will include assessing model fit in this framework and describing Bayesian methods for modeling and hypothesis testing to Frequentist readers.

I will discuss recent progress in calculating a precision photon spectrum for heavy wino annihilation to photons, along with implications for indirect detection experiments. I will review arguments that the 3 TeV mass wino is one of the simplest WIMP dark matter candidates. Then I will discuss how the large separation of scales from 3 TeV to the weak scale leads to a breakdown of perturbation theory. I will demonstrate how one can rely on modern effective field theory techniques to restore the convergence of the perturbative expansion, and will discuss our precision prediction for the wino annihilation spectrum. I will review the status of searching for these photons using a ground based air Cherenkov telescope array (the H.E.S.S. experiment), along with the impact of our calculation on the interpretation of these limits.
