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

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

In this body of work, Detroit artist and U-M alumna Laura Cavanagh explores quiet, intimate spaces. An introvert by nature, “space,” and the preservation of personal space, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color, creating an atmosphere of still quietude, so critical to her creative process.

In 2017 Leslie Sobel, as artist in residence at Kluane National Park in Yukon Territory, Canada, camped on an icefield with a group of climate scientists. The landscape shrines in this exhibit combine her work as an environmental artist with the experience of that pristine, remote, beautiful, and at risk environment. The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting, monotype, photography, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change. Meant to bring complex ideas and big emotions into a size one can literally hold in one’s hands, the works have charred exteriors and bright colors and metal leaf echoing traditional Tibetan iconography in depicting the beauty and spiritual power of high places.

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

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (March 5, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507791@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 5, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

JOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday, April 2 7–10 p.m.

Gallery talks, live music, and more! This is a free event, and all are welcome.

In this Teach-Out you will experience some of our extraordinary planet's natural beauty and examine how climate change impacts one of the most vulnerable places on earth, the isolated Arctic island of Greenland. In June 2019, a team of students, faculty, and staff from the University of Michigan embarked on an expedition to conduct experiments and learn about how climate change is impacting this area of the planet. In this Teach-Out, you will join a group of students on their personal and professional journeys through Greenland, you will learn from leading climate scientists about how climate change is impacting Greenland and other parts of our planet, and will have the opportunity to share your stories about how you engage with the natural environment in your own backyard.

Established in 1923 through the generosity of U-M Regent William L. Clements, the Clements Library is a treasure house of American history. It collects, preserves, and makes available primary sources about the Americas, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century Americana. Drawing upon all four divisions of materials – books, manuscripts, maps and graphics – this display presents a small sampling of reproductions of the internationally significant holdings at the Clements and illustrates some topical strengths of the collections. Selections include handsome original artwork, compelling manuscripts, and printed resources with geographical connections spanning from the Caribbean to the Great Lakes.

Anne Bae is a multidisciplinary artist based out of New York. Her sculptural works are infused with symbolism and metaphors in the forms of cages, nests and butterflies. All works are made entirely of varying weights and types of paper, including hanji (Korean traditional) and common coffee filters. Representing concepts of time, memory, openness and constraint, the pieces are created with traditional methods, using scissors and simple die-cutting tools; cross-disciplinary techniques, such as weaving and tatting used in fiber arts; and technologies like laser cutting machines. There are two series of paper nests: one created entirely without the use of adhesive, and the other involves tatting with knots. Viewers are encouraged to contemplate, find meaning and ultimately – hope.

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

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

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (March 6, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507792@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 6, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

The Best of the West: Western Americana at the Clements Library (March 6, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68495 68495-17088530@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 6, 2020 10:00am
Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

"The Best of the West" is an exhibition of 45 printed rarities in early western Americana from the Clements Library collection. The exhibit is a tribute to antiquarian bookseller and outstanding Americanist William S. Reese (1955-2018), drawing upon Reese's 2017 book "The Best of the West" for its descriptions of the titles on display.

The books and pamphlets in the exhibition range chronologically from Miguel Venegas' 1757 "Noticia de la California" to Thomas F. Dawson & F. J. V. Skiff's 1879 "The Ute War." In between are dozens of the rarest examples of western Americana primary sources, in Spanish, French, English, and German. They include discovery and exploration narratives, 19th-century overland narratives, prints and views of Native Americans, color-plate books, gold and silver mining reports, and other glimpses of the trans-Mississippi West.

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Center for Social Solutions

Free and open to the University of Michigan community. Please RSVP. Lunch will be served starting at 11:45am.

Please join us for a lunchtime conversation about "White Fragility" with Professor Alford A. Young. This lunchtime conversation is designed to prepare attendees for Robin DiAngelo's March 13th visit to the University of Michigan. From a public policy lens, Professor Young will evaluate the impact that public policies—both current and historical—have on racial and/or ethnic inequalities and discuss how it relates to other dimensions of social life.

Alford A. Young, Jr. is the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Sociology and Afroamerican and African Studies, with a courtesy appointment at the Ford School of Public Policy. He serves as associate director of U-M's Center for Social Solutions and faculty director for scholar engagement and leadership at Michigan's National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID). He has pursued research on low-income, urban-based African Americans, employees at an automobile manufacturing plant, African American scholars and intellectuals, and the classroom-based experiences of higher-education faculty as they pertain to diversity and multiculturalism. He employs ethnographic interviewing as his primary data collection method. His objective in research on low-income African American men, his primary area of research, has been to argue for a renewed cultural sociology of the African American urban poor. Young received an MA and PhD in sociology from the University of Chicago.

Established in 1923 through the generosity of U-M Regent William L. Clements, the Clements Library is a treasure house of American history. It collects, preserves, and makes available primary sources about the Americas, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century Americana. Drawing upon all four divisions of materials – books, manuscripts, maps and graphics – this display presents a small sampling of reproductions of the internationally significant holdings at the Clements and illustrates some topical strengths of the collections. Selections include handsome original artwork, compelling manuscripts, and printed resources with geographical connections spanning from the Caribbean to the Great Lakes.

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (March 10, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507796@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 10, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Read the exhibition press release here.

JOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday, April 2 7–10 p.m.

Gallery talks, live music, and more! This is a free event, and all are welcome.

MIDUS is a U.S. national, longitudinal study which focuses on the role of psychological, social, and biological factors in accounting for age-related variations in health and well-being among two national samples of Americans.

The MIDUS data are available through NACDA (the data archive on aging populations), part of ICPSR. MIDUS and NACDA are both funded by the National Institute on Aging. MIDUS is the most frequently downloaded dataset from NACDA, and one of the most frequently downloaded data series from ICPSR.

This free webinar provides an overview of the MIDUS data series we have archived within NACDA and will guide users on how to discover MIDUS resources, as well as highlight the research potential of this multi-scope, longitudinal collection. A substantial portion of the talk will demonstrate how Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) tools have enabled MIDUS to adhere to FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reproducible) principals.

This webinar will feature:
- A presentation about MIDUS (background and general use) directly from researcher and Co-PI, Dr. Barry Radler from the University of Wisconsin-Madison
- How to access MIDUS data from NACDA, both public and restricted data versions
- Information about the MIDUS Colectica Portal

Participants will also have the opportunity to provide feedback and ask questions.
This webinar is free and open to the public.

Organized By: University Library

Look at the Great Lakes region through the eyes of Michigan children’s authors, including Tom Pohrt, Nancy Willard, and Joan Blos. In addition to published works, we will also have selected archival materials and artwork on display.

The Great Lakes represent the largest body of freshwater in the world and are surrounded by diverse ecosystems and communities, from the rust belt steel mills that sit on Indiana's sand dunes to the protected forests of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Nonetheless, from Western New York to Eastern Minnesota, to grow up in the Great Lakes region means to grow up anchored to a landscape shaped by water, and to a social and economic environment built on a history of using (and often abusing) this abundant water source.

This event follows a lecture by Elizabeth Goodenough, Growing Up Near the Great Lakes, at 3:00 pm in the same space. Please join us for both events!

This event is part of Special Collections After Hours, a monthly open house series sharing highlights from the many books, documents, and artifacts in the Special Collections Research Center. Each event is open to everyone and will offer a new group of themed materials for visitors to explore. Open houses are held on the second Tuesday of each month during the academic year. Light refreshments are provided.

Folkloric dance and music festivals draw in diverse audiences, entertaining participants and instilling a sense of pride in Canadian multiculturalism as a national trait. Folklorama lays claim to being the longest running and largest multicultural festival of its kind in the world, and it is one that relies heavily on community groups more than well known performers. What can an examination of the festival tell us about Canadian national self-narratives? And is it possible to negotiate the complexities of difference and identity politics by engaging in music and dance?

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.

It collects, preserves, and makes available primary sources about the Americas, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century Americana. Drawing upon all four divisions of materials – books, manuscripts, maps and graphics – this display presents a small sampling of reproductions of the internationally significant holdings at the Clements and illustrates some topical strengths of the collections.

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (March 11, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507797@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 11, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

JOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday, April 2 7–10 p.m.

Gallery talks, live music, and more! This is a free event, and all are welcome.

ISR Reads Fall Book Selection: A Terrible Thing to Waste; Environmental Racism and It’s Assault on the American Mind

Wednesday, March 11, 2019 (Earth Week)
1:00pm to 3pm
ISR Thompson 1430ABCD

Virtual Live Stream Presentation with: Join us at ISR or online at https://bluejeans.com/569501572

In support of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts at the University of Michigan and the Institute of Social Research and School of Public Health we are excited to partner in bringing an award-winning science writer Harriet A. Washington.

Washington will join us via livestream to discuss her book "A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and Its Assault on the American Mind."

Ms. Washington adds her incisive analysis to the environmental discussion presenting an argument that IQ is a biased and flawed metric, one that it is useful for tracking cognitive damage. She takes apart the spurious notion of intelligence as an inherited trait, using copious data that instead point to a different cause of the reported African American-white IQ achievement gap.

The book explains that environmental racism - a confluence of racism and other institutional factors that relegate marginalized communities to living and working near sites of toxic waste, pollution, and insufficient sanitation services is terrible for the brain. Ms. Washington investigates heavy metals, neurotoxins, deficient prenatal care, bad nutrition, and even pathogens as chief agents influencing intelligence to explain why communities of color are disproportionately affected -- and what can be done to remedy this devastating problem.

Harriet A. Washington has been the Shearing Fellow at the University of Nevada's Black Mountain Institute, a Research Fellow in Medical Ethics at Harvard Medical School, and a senior research scholar at the National Center for Bioethics at
Tuskegee University. She is the author of Deadly Monopolies, Infectious Madness, and Medical Apartheid, which won a National Book Critics Circle Award, the PEN/Oakland Award, and the American Library Association Black Caucus
Nonfiction Award.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

In this talk, Los Angeles based artist Yasmine Diaz will speak about her experiences making work as an agnostic feminist of Muslim heritage in a post 9/11 era of xenophobia and anti-Muslim rhetoric. Her talk will center on a her 2017 piece, One Way or Another (college and hand-cut watercolor paper, 18 x 24)

Yasmine navigates overlapping tensions around religion, gender, and third-culture identity using personal archives, found imagery and various media on paper as well as installation. Born and raised in Chicago to parents who immigrated from the highlands of southern Yemen, her mixed media work often reflects personal histories of the opposing cultures she was raised within. She has exhibited and performed at spaces including the Brava Theater in San Francisco, the Torrance Art Museum, Charlie James Gallery, and Station Beirut. Diaz is a 2019 California Community Foundation Visual Artist Fellow with works included in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The University of California Los Angeles, and The Poetry Project Space in Berlin. She lives and works in Los Angeles.

Positive Links Speaker Series
Is it Really Better to Give than Receive?
Wayne Baker

Wednesday, March 11, 2020
4:00-5:00 p.m.
This event will only be live web streamed.

Follow the stream here: http://myumi.ch/518e2

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.

About the talk:
The greatest barrier to generosity isn't that people are unwilling or unable to help, but that people don't ask for what they need. Requests drive the giving-receiving cycle. Drawing on his new book, All You Have To Do Is Ask, Baker describes the four asking-giving styles, how to assess your style, how to overcome the obstacles to asking, how to make effective requests, and how to figure out who to ask. He will present several tools that individuals, teams, and organizations use to create a robust culture of workplace generosity. In-person attendees will have the opportunity to use the tools in real time.

About Baker:
Wayne Baker is Robert P. Thome Professor of Business Administration and Professor of Management & Organizations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. He is also Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan and Faculty Associate at the Institute for Social Research. He currently serves as Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations.

His teaching and research focus on social capital, social networks, generosity, positive organizational scholarship, and values. His management and leadership articles appear in venues such as Harvard Business Review, Chief Executive Magazine, and Sloan Management Review. His latest book, All You Have To Do Is Ask, will be published in January 2020.

He puts his knowledge into practice as a frequent guest speaker, management consultant, and as an advisor and board member of Give and Take Inc., developers of the Givitas collaborative technology platform.

Prior to joining the Michigan faculty, he was on the faculty at the University of Chicago business school. He earned his PhD in sociology from Northwestern University and was a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard University.

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (March 12, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507798@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 12, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Abstract

Future applications, such as wearable electronics, flexible and transparent displays, or devices for solar energy conversion and storage require materials with more versatility, more integrated functions, and more environmentally responsible processing compared to traditional options (i.e., inorganic semiconductors, like silicon). Organic semiconductors, such as small molecules and polymers, are well-suited to these future requirements; however, their electrical properties and environmental stability are inherently worse. Hybrid materials, such as inorganic nanoparticles embedded within a polymer film, can mitigate the trade-offs that exist for any single material type by combining organic and inorganic semiconductors. For example, hybrid materials can impart multi-functionality, flexibility, transparency, and sustainability to devices based on the interaction of light and matter (i.e., optoelectronic devices) or energy-related devices (e.g., solar cells, supercapacitors, or photo-electrochemical cells). A critically important requirement to realize the promise of hybrid materials for devices is to understand and control thin film deposition. Because hybrid materials are heterogeneous systems containing more than one component, thin-film deposition can be complicated compared to single component films. As a result, the co-deposition of two or more materials with different properties to synthesize a hybrid film with pre-determined functionality is a technological challenge within thin-film engineering. I will describe my research program that investigates hybrid thin film deposition using resonant infrared, matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (RIR-MAPLE) to control structure and properties and to improve the performance of optoelectronic and energy-related devices. I will also reflect on my path to a career in academia and the lessons I have learned along the way.

Chair's Distinguished Lecture: "Dynamic wall-models for large-eddy simulation: towards parameter-free high-fidelity simulation of real-world engineering applications" (March 12, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73748 73748-18311332@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 12, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building
Organized By: Aerospace Engineering

Dr. H. Jane Bae
The currently available computational power limits the utilization of direct numerical simulation (DNS) in practical engineering flow applications. In recent years, large-eddy simulation (LES) has emerged as a viable high-fidelity tool for such flow problems; however, it suffers from the same computational limitations in the near-wall region. In this talk, I will introduce a new way of modeling the wall in LES to overcome the limitation of the near-wall region. First, the use of the slip boundary condition with transpiration for wall-modeled LES is motivated by theoretic assessment and a priori testing using DNS data. Secondly, a dynamic slip wall model consistent with the constant stress layer in the near-wall region is presented. The dynamic slip wall model is free of any a priori specified coefficients, unlike traditional wall models which are based on RANS models. The results show that the predictions of the mean velocity profile and turbulence intensities from the dynamic slip wall model are in good agreement with DNS and experimental data for a wide range of Reynolds numbers and grid resolutions for canonical turbulent boundary layers.

About the Speaker...
H. Jane Bae is a postdoctoral scholar at the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories at Caltech. She received her Ph.D. in Computational and Mathematical Engineering from Stanford University in 2018. Her main research focuses on computational fluid mechanics, in particular on modeling and control of wall-bounded turbulence using reduced-order modeling and design and implementation of efficient solution methods.

Established in 1923 through the generosity of U-M Regent William L. Clements, the Clements Library is a treasure house of American history. It collects, preserves, and makes available primary sources about the Americas, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century Americana. Drawing upon all four divisions of materials – books, manuscripts, maps and graphics – this display presents a small sampling of reproductions of the internationally significant holdings at the Clements and illustrates some topical strengths of the collections. Selections include handsome original artwork, compelling manuscripts, and printed resources with geographical connections spanning from the Caribbean to the Great Lakes.

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (March 13, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507799@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 13, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

The Best of the West: Western Americana at the Clements Library (March 13, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68495 68495-17088531@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 13, 2020 10:00am
Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

"The Best of the West" is an exhibition of 45 printed rarities in early western Americana from the Clements Library collection. The exhibit is a tribute to antiquarian bookseller and outstanding Americanist William S. Reese (1955-2018), drawing upon Reese's 2017 book "The Best of the West" for its descriptions of the titles on display.

The books and pamphlets in the exhibition range chronologically from Miguel Venegas' 1757 "Noticia de la California" to Thomas F. Dawson & F. J. V. Skiff's 1879 "The Ute War." In between are dozens of the rarest examples of western Americana primary sources, in Spanish, French, English, and German. They include discovery and exploration narratives, 19th-century overland narratives, prints and views of Native Americans, color-plate books, gold and silver mining reports, and other glimpses of the trans-Mississippi West.

Organized By: University Library

POSTPONED: The AVMR Working Group and the library will reschedule this event at a later date.

This gathering is designed as both an introduction and a follow-up for anyone interested in finding out more about how UM faculty are using extended reality technologies in humanities-centered classrooms—in particular, to explore new ways of teaching diversity, empathy, historical imagination, and critical awareness of the technology itself.

What kinds of devices and content are in play, and how can we use them meaningfully in our teaching? What kinds of support are available for faculty looking to experiment with course design, classroom tech management, and student experience?

The afternoon will include a conversation with faculty and tech experts, another with students and former students, and a host of demos, experiences, and exhibitions of student work from humanities-centered courses incorporating extended reality technologies. Colleagues from the Provost’s AVMR (augmented, virtual and mixed reality) Working Group, the Shapiro Design Lab, the Duderstadt Center, LSA Academic Technologies Services, Library Operations Outreach & AV Services, and other campus groups will be on hand to provide support and guidance as you explore the many opportunities and resources available.
We’ll offer refreshments as well as food for thought about how we might re-imagine knowledge-making and explore critical arts & humanities perspectives on extended reality practices.

Please RSVP if you plan to attend.

LSA Technology Services is offering training for faculty members on how to create Quizzes in Canvas. Topics will include:

● How to create different question types (fill in the blank, matching, multiple choice)
● How to create quiz banks
● How to create clickable rubrics
● How to randomize questions
● How to edit test option (number of attempts, timer, forced completion, display dates, due dates, and results)

There are other benefits to using online exams in Canvas. The Speedgrader features allows instructors to type responses more efficiently, providing substantive feedback when appropriate. Multiple choice and true/false type Questions are graded automatically and sent directly to the gradebook. Exams and grades are preserved for future reference—for example, the next time a student asks for a letter of recommendation.

LSA has also added a security feature to lock down the testing environment and preserve academic integrity.

To explore more about using exams in Canvas, please attend one of our Canvas Quiz workshops listed below, or contact an ISS consultant at 734.615.0099 or lsa-iss-ltc@umich.edu.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

**In accordance with the Unversity-wide measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, this performance has been canceled.**

Contemporary Black artists like Kendrick Lamar, Janelle Monáe, J. Cole, D’Angelo, and Beyoncé infuse empowering messages into their music, which serve as the musical backdrop to this century’s Black Lives Matter movement. Every decade, Black artists have served up insistent messages of empowerment confronting the oppressive effects of white supremacy. These anthems have often come from hip hop, soul, and R&B. Rarely has it come from jazz, a musical genre that has arguably had a closer and more complicated relationship with white audiences and spaces. However, in 1960, jazz drummer Max Roach and vocalist Abby Lincoln collaborated on an album We Insist: Max Roach’s Freedom Suite Now that literally and symbolically confronted historical and global racism in an unprecedented way that adopted a Pan-African approach, spanning slavery and civil rights in the U.S. to anti-apartheid movements in South Africa. This paper will argue that We Insist is a potent focal point of black musical activism by examining the making of the album, its reception by critics and audiences, and the significance of the fact that Roach and Lincoln were themselves embarking on a journey of love for their people and for each other. Ultimately this paper offers an analysis that places We Insist as a comprehensive musical precursor and a prophetic call to the twenty-first century that Black Lives must matter.

Fabricating the Network Case in Russia (March 13, 2020 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73547 73547-18258850@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 13, 2020 6:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Slavic Languages & Literatures

Solidarity action with Russian anti-fascists.

As part of a broader crackdown preceding the 2018 Russian presidential election and the FIFA World Cup, the Russian Security Service (FSB) kidnapped six people in Penza and two in Petersburg. FSB agents tortured the arrestees into signing confessions. This became the "Network Case." On the basis of these "confessions," the Russian courts drew up convictions of years--or decades--in prison. But they were not expecting widespread public outcry in Russia or unceasing international attention. By applying pressure from abroad, online, and in letters to prisoners, we can do our part to keep these political prisoners in the spotlight, and out of the shadows!

There will be a short informational slide-show. Come hear the compelling stories of the activists caught in these cases; the cruel, absurd, and, sometimes, comical nature of the charges; and the creative resistance and solidarity strategies that activists developed in an increasingly repressive climate. Talk led by Ania Aizman (U-M Slavic).

There will be materials for making art and writing short letters of support of the political prisoners, as well as information about direct donations to the Russian prisoners' advocacy group. And good food!

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (March 14, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507800@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 14, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Read the exhibition press release here.

JOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday, April 2 7–10 p.m.

Gallery talks, live music, and more! This is a free event, and all are welcome.

Limited seating! Reserve your seat now using Ticket link!!

Speaker: Clark McCall, Citizens' Climate Lobby

Part 1- Understanding what we need to do to address the problem of climate change:

We know climate change is here. We can see serious effects throughout the world already. We know we have a narrow window of time to make changes to avoid the very worst results by limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5-2.0℃. But what exactly will it take to stay within this limit? What changes have the greatest impact? Electric vehicles? Eating a vegetarian diet? Subsidies for solar? A fee on carbon? With the help of a trained facilitator using a policy simulator tool, session attendees will have a chance to discuss different options and explore what impact they will have. Come to this session with your ideas for making an impact and leave knowing what different changes have the most impact.

Part 2- How does a fee on carbon and dividend support environmental justice?

Experts agree that a fee on carbon and a dividend is one of the best policies for addressing climate change. But how does an added fee affect our budgets? How can people with low income manage a carbon fee? This session will examine the economic and personal impacts of a carbon fee and dividend on both the climate and on people.

Established in 1923 through the generosity of U-M Regent William L. Clements, the Clements Library is a treasure house of American history. It collects, preserves, and makes available primary sources about the Americas, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century Americana. Drawing upon all four divisions of materials – books, manuscripts, maps and graphics – this display presents a small sampling of reproductions of the internationally significant holdings at the Clements and illustrates some topical strengths of the collections. Selections include handsome original artwork, compelling manuscripts, and printed resources with geographical connections spanning from the Caribbean to the Great Lakes.

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (March 15, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507801@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 15, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

JOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday, April 2 7–10 p.m.

Gallery talks, live music, and more! This is a free event, and all are welcome.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Canvas Quizzes for LSA Faculty (March 17, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73616 73616-18269842@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 17, 2020 10:00am
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: LSA Technology Services

LSA Technology Services is offering training for faculty members on how to create Quizzes in Canvas. Topics will include:

● How to create different question types (fill in the blank, matching, multiple choice)
● How to create quiz banks
● How to create clickable rubrics
● How to randomize questions
● How to edit test option (number of attempts, timer, forced completion, display dates, due dates, and results)

There are other benefits to using online exams in Canvas. The Speedgrader features allows instructors to type responses more efficiently, providing substantive feedback when appropriate. Multiple choice and true/false type Questions are graded automatically and sent directly to the gradebook. Exams and grades are preserved for future reference—for example, the next time a student asks for a letter of recommendation.

LSA has also added a security feature to lock down the testing environment and preserve academic integrity.

To explore more about using exams in Canvas, please attend one of our Canvas Quiz workshops listed below, or contact an ISS consultant at 734.615.0099 or lsa-iss-ltc@umich.edu.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

The symposium will feature keynote speaker Cindy Shank, a previously incarcerated activist and advocate for abolishing mandatory minimum sentences.

Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

This event will be livestreamed. Check event website right before the event for viewing details.

Join us for a conversation with Associate Professor John Ciorciari and author Karen Sherman to discuss her book, Brick by Brick: Building Hope and Opportunity for Women Survivors Everywhere. Sherman has spent 30 years in global development advocating for women in war-torn and transitional countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Congo, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Sudan, Kosovo, and the former Soviet Union. She began writing Brick by Brick during the year she spent living in Rwanda with her three sons to oversee the construction of a first-of-its-kind women’s opportunity center. The strength of these women helped Karen find her own way--through conflict zones and confrontations with corrupt officials to a renewed commitment to her family.

From the speaker's bio:

Karen Sherman currently serves as President of the Akilah Institute, Rwanda’s only women’s college, leading its strategy, growth, and partnerships. Prior to joining Akilah, Sherman was a senior executive at Women for Women International, an organization that helps women survivors of war to rebuild their lives. Sherman also served as the Executive Vice President at Counterpart International, an international nonprofit development organization that partners with local organizations to build inclusive, sustainable communities in which their people thrive. Sherman has been featured on BBC, CNBC Africa, Al Jazeera English, and Voice of America.

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED.

Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple. A handful of tech companies have changed the way we live and built unprecedented industrial bases in the process. Their reach extends far beyond our pocketbooks into privacy, individual liberties, and the fabric of our democracy.

In August 2018, Facebook’s chief security officer Alex Stamos announced he would leave the company following reports of disagreements with other executives over how to address the Russian government’s use of Facebook to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Since his departure he’s advocated for the breakup of the tech giant and co-authored the white paper “Securing American Elections: Prescriptions for Enhancing the Integrity and Independence of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Elections and Beyond.”

Do we really understand what we are giving away in exchange for speed and convenience? Do the tech giants understand, or care about, their responsibility in this digital age that they created?

Alex Stamos is the former chief security officer at Facebook and is now director of the Stanford Cyber Policy Center’s Internet Observatory at Stanford University.

Kara Swisher is the co-founder and executive editor of Recode and host of the weekly interview podcast “Recode Decode.” She is also the co-executive editor of Code Conferences, which feature prominent speakers from the digital industry. She is a regular contributor to The New York Times opinion pages and a Livingston Awards national judge.

This event is co-sponsored by Computer Science and Engineering, the College of Engineering, the Center for Social Media Responsibility, ITS and Dissonance at the University of Michigan and Duo Security.

In this Teach-Out you will experience some of our extraordinary planet's natural beauty and examine how climate change impacts one of the most vulnerable places on earth, the isolated Arctic island of Greenland. In June 2019, a team of students, faculty, and staff from the University of Michigan embarked on an expedition to conduct experiments and learn about how climate change is impacting this area of the planet. In this Teach-Out, you will join a group of students on their personal and professional journeys through Greenland, you will learn from leading climate scientists about how climate change is impacting Greenland and other parts of our planet, and will have the opportunity to share your stories about how you engage with the natural environment in your own backyard.

Birds Fly In: Oil Painting (March 19, 2020 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73892 73892-18390594@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 19, 2020 8:00am

Birds first flew onto Ellie Harold's canvases in 2016, appearing to her as intuitive messengers of hope and healing for troubled times. She paints intuitively to music, spontaneously, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush, but also fingers, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Anne Mondro is an artist and a professor in the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Jaye Schlesinger is a full time painter living and working in Ann Arbor. Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops, playgrounds, houses and aerial views, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales, but rather to celebrate the color, shape, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Migrations: Fiber Notes from the Journey (March 19, 2020 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73895 73895-18392931@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 19, 2020 8:00am

Migration has profoundly affected the life and perspective of the Michigan-based fiber artist, Martina Celerin. Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving, crochet, needle felting, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Although Candace Compton Pappas is recognized primarily as a painter, this series of constructed homes and vessels represents an important facet of her life as an artist. Over the years, she has collected, saved, garbage-rescued, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds, the vessels that hold them, and the totems that pay tribute to them, all keep her company, inspire her, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea, Michigan.

Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self (March 19, 2020 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70075 70075-17507805@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 19, 2020 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, journals, daily planners, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we, as readers, are accessing raw, unfiltered thoughts, but rounds of revision are common, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic, private writing, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.
