Animal Friends: Ceramic Sculpture (October 25, 2018 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53529 53529-13398969@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 25, 2018 8:00am
Location: University Hospitals
Organized By: Gifts of Art

Marcia Polenberg loves animals, each with its own unique personality, intelligence and expressive range of emotions. Using terra-cotta sculpture clay, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness, surprise, mischief, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times, building up a rich, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics, paint, graphite and pastel.

The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research, and are beautiful in their detail, form and symmetry. For each one, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells, tissues and organs, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants, worms, fruit flies, fish, mice and yes, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma, bipolar disease, epilepsy and cancer.

This group show of jewelry and ornaments includes the work of Roger Martin, who tackled the subject of a raven by relying on planes and shadow lines to imbue the surfaces of the bird with personality. Another one of the seven artists, Lorraine Kolasa, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler, Roger Smith, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. Blending images from the real world and her imagination, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature, such as tree branches, ice patterns, twisted vines, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the "leading lights of the next generation." This exhibit draws on drafts, proofs, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.

Working most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff, Carl Rakosi, and George Oppen, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally, for more than forty years, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine, The Big Scream, providing a venue for more than 200 poets, including both big names names and younger, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.

On view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Exhibition | Urban Biographies, Ancient and Modern (October 25, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 52176-12520846@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 25, 2018 9:00am
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Art Exhibit: Nancy Blum, RC Class of '85 (October 25, 2018 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56392 56392-13896769@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 25, 2018 10:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

RC alumna '85 Nancy Blum returns to East Quad to exhibit her drawings of flowers and to deliver the 10/19 Robertson Lecture on her public art installations.

Excerpted from her artist statement:
My large‐scale works on paper, rendered in ink, colored pencil, gouache and graphite, portray a fantastic realm in which flowers own the space. I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and, in this way, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.

I use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active, forceful agent, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity; hopefully, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.

When making art for public spaces, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture, ecosystem, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice, in turn, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (October 25, 2018 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53719 53719-13452890@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 25, 2018 11:00am

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

Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s, that question was hotly debated as artists, critics, and the public grappled with the relationship between art, politics, race, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Al Loving, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.

Lead support for "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

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

More than ever in the era of globalization, ideas traverse geographic, generational, and cultural boundaries, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa, Europe, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery, colonization, migration, racism, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings, photographs, sculpture, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai, Omar Victor Diop, Wangechi Mutu, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.

Lead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the University of Michigan Office of Research, African Studies Center, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

Graduate Student Workshop with Virginia Jackson (October 25, 2018 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56803 56803-14006007@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 25, 2018 11:00am
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

A conversation with Virginia Jackson to discuss two of her published papers: “Specters of the Ballad” (Nineteenth Century Literature, 2016) and “The Function of Criticism at the Present Time” (Los Angeles Review of Books, 2015). The workshop will involve topics relevant to graduate student professionalization, including issues of craft and public-facing scholarship. Please reach out to Zoey Dorman (zdorman@umich.edu) or Talin Tahajian (talatahaj@umich.edu) to receive copies of the pre-circulated papers.

“This essay [‘Specters of the Ballad’] argues that Paul Laurence Dunbar’s ballad ‘The Haunted Oak’ (1901) indexes Dunbar’s invention of the modern American lyric through the (lynching) form of modern racism. How does race ghost-write poetry’s redefinition around the lyric? How does it create a dramatically abstract ‘speaker’ that gives voice to and for an imagined community? Dunbar inverts both romantic apostrophe and Victorian dramatic monologue and dialogue in his speaking bough. He does this by framing his poem as a pre-romantic border ballad, a tale of Scots rebellion and English law superimposed upon American racist violence. What Jacqueline Goldsby has dubbed ‘racism’s modern life form’ thus becomes modern American poetry’s life form, a lyricized poetic history haunted from root to branch.”

“‘The Function of Criticism at the Present Time’ is part of part of the Los Angeles Review of Books special series ‘No Crisis’: a look at the state of critical thinking and writing—literary interpretation, art history, and cultural studies—in the 21st century. Jackson reviews Lauren Berlant’s Cruel Optimism.”

Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire (October 25, 2018 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53348 53348-13349520@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 25, 2018 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination; re-writing the canonical accounts of history; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.

At a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists, designers, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art, design, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.

Artists: Rudolf Baranik, Stephanie Dinkins, Emory Douglas, Brendan Fernandes, Chitra Ganesh, Carole Harris, Maren Hassinger, Al Loving, Josh MacPhee, Native Art Department International, Michele Oka Doner, Yoko Ono, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Martha Rosler, Buster Simpson, Gregory Sholette, Leni Sinclair, Stephanie Syjuco, Graem Whyte, and Zafos Xagoraris.

In October 1947, just two years after the end of World War II, the popular weekly news magazine LIFE sent staff photographers Lisa Larsen and Ralph Morse to cover homecoming weekend at the University of Michigan. The subsequent article, “Michigan Homecoming,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend, many of which were not published in the original article, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article, these photographs of fervent fans, strolling couples, alumni making their annual pilgrimage, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.

These photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

Location: UM Golf Course
Organized By: University of Michigan Energy Institute

The TE3 conference brings economic scholars together with government and industry practitioners to exchange ideas and strengthen collective knowledge for addressing transportation energy and environmental policy challenges.

What transportation energy and environmental policies will foster progress toward long-term climate protection goals given the volatility of energy markets and uncertainties in consumer behavior?

Relevant factors include technology cost and investment needs for vehicles, fuels and related infrastructure; changing demands for travel; social issues including changeable consumer behavior; new mobility services; car sharing; public transportation and other mode choice issues. The theme encompasses tensions between current low fuel prices and tightening fuel economy and GHG emissions standards, as well as longer-term issues around aligning infrastructure, fuel, and vehicle design and consumer education for a sustainable future.

Sponsored by the University of Michigan Energy Institute, this year’s conference will include three paper sessions on economic and policy research that address energy use in the transportation sector and its environmental implications. Last year’s conference featured an outstanding selection of papers covering fuel economy and emissions, technology incentives, alternative fuels, consumer adoption and behavior, impact of vehicle scrappage programs, and infrastructure. In addition, a policy panel with representatives from industry, government and academia will discuss how transportation policy can foster progress towards long term fuel economy and emissions goals in the face of fuel price volatility and greenhouse gas emissions standards.

Beyond the Lines: Exploring Long-Term Cultural Dynamics in Nasca, Peru (October 25, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56469 56469-13906094@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 25, 2018 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

The Nasca region of Peru is best known for the lines (geoglyphs) that were created on the desert floor. While the geoglyphs were an integral part of the Nasca Culture (AD 100-650) this ancient society was just one of many that made Nasca their home. During the several thousand years of occupation the region saw many transformations including the development of regionally integrated complex societies, imperial conquest by the highland Wari, collapse and abandonment, resettlement of the region possibly by highlanders, and imperial conquest once again by the Inca. Many factors were involved in these shifts, and included the organization of kinship groups, subsistence strategies, influxes of immigrants and new ideas, religious movements, climate change, trade and social networks, and external imperial policies. This talk will explore these issues and the implications for broader patterns of change in the Andean region.

ABSTRACT
"Complexity in the chemistry and physics of lipid membranes as a handle to activate the delivery of cargo to cells"

Lipid materials having nanostructures that deviate from the conventional flat bilayer arrangement such as hexagonally packed lipid tubes and bicontinuous cubic phases are ubiquitous in nature. Their role remains elusive but over the years several pathologies and organelle functions have been coupled to lipid membrane structural complexity. In this talk we will discuss lipid membrane polymorphism and how it can be exploited to generate a new class of materials for the delivery of cargo to cells. We combine a number of techniques including X-ray scattering, cryo-EM, and cell culture to demonstrate that the structure of lipid nanoparticles is a powerful handle to boost the delivery of genes to cells. The simple argument that non-bilayer phases having intertwined nanoscale channels exist to increase surface-to-volume ratio might be insufficient to completely describe the experimental findings. We will show that synthetic lipid and lipid-polymer hybrid materials are able to capture many structural and dynamic properties seen in natural systems, when local heterogeneities and self-assembly out of equilibrium is taken into account.

Abstract:
All organisms must respond to environmental and social perturbations. Subsequent facultative hormonal cascades are key for rapid physiological and behavioral acclimation. Although many endocrine cascades are known to respond rapidly to environmental perturbations, it is only recently that we have discovered the plasticity of these responses over the life cycle. Mechanisms underlying modulation of physiological and behavioral responses to environmental change have triggered two major hypotheses. 1. the evolutionary constraints hypothesis which posits that endocrine systems are highly conserved and there are limited ways by which the responses can be modulated. 2. The evolutionary flexibility hypothesis suggesting that there are multiple ways by which endocrine systems can be modulated. This talk will focus on specific facultative hormonal responses and explore why and how these are modulated in relation to the two hypotheses.

Roll call scaling techniques are empirical standards for studies of voting behavior within legislative bodies. Though ideal point estimation techniques are frequently used, the theoretical implications of assumptions made in order to empirically estimate ideal points provide cause for concern. Current scaling techniques ignore the role of group-level dependencies within the data. Assumptions about independence of observations in the scaling model ignore the possibility that members of the voting body have shared incentives to vote as a group. In turn, this leads to potential biases in the estimated values of the ideal points and underestimation of the number of dimensions needed to model the ideal point space. In this paper, I propose a new ideal point model that explicitly allows for group contributions in the underlying spatial model of voting. I derive a corresponding empirical model that utilizes flexible Bayesian nonparametric priors to estimate group ideological effects in ideal points and the corresponding dimensionality of the ideal points. I apply this model to the 114th U.S. House and show how grouped ideological effects can be uncovered using only a set of roll call votes. This model provides insights into open questions related to group dynamics in legislative voting and has important implications for literature that utilizes ideal point estimates.

Improving Airport Surface and Terminal Airspace Operations via Strategic Decision-Making with Explicit Consideration of Tactical Recourse (Feedback Control)

John-Paul Clarke, Sc.D.
College of Engineering Dean’s Professor
Georgia Institute of Technology

Airport surface and terminal airspace operations are frequently subject to congestion and delays that are symptoms of our current operating paradigm. For example, unless there is severe airport surface congestion, departing aircraft are typically allowed to leave their gate and continue with minimal regulation to the takeoff queue. Similarly, en route aircraft are typically allowed to continue with minimal regulation to the terminal airspace above their destination. I present three algorithms for minimizing congestion and delays while fully utilizing available resources — runways, taxiways, ramps, and gates. In the first algorithm, airspace congestion is minimized (thereby minimizing flight time, fuel burn, emissions, and noise) by determining the separation required between successive aircraft prior to their descent to the runway so that each aircraft can execute a continuous descent arrival with little to no controller intervention. In the second algorithm, ramp congestion is minimized by determining the optimal assignment of flights to concourses based on historical statistics and then assigning flights to specific gates based on nearer-term landing time forecasts. In the third algorithm, runway utilization is maximized by determining the optimal initial schedule for operations on a runway given uncertainty in taxi out times and the corrective re-sequencing to account for adverse FIFO sequences.

Our research is focused on harnessing the untapped reactivity of cheap and abundant chemical feedstocks in organic synthesis to enable the late-stage functionalization of complex natural products and other medicinally-relevant molecules. We have recently developed new approaches for selective C-H and C-O functionalization of alcohols and carbonyls, using a combination of radical (1e-) and closed shell (2e-) processes that act in concert with one another. These new radical chaperone strategies have enabled the development of chemical transformations with applications within molecules of biological and industrial interest.

This paper examines knowledge transfers from foreign managers to domestic managers within MNCs. Using a newly developed survey of domestic middle managers in Myanmar, we find evidence of large communication frictions between management layers: foreign managers cannot speak Myanmar, domestic managers cannot speak the company's language (e.g., Japanese, Korean or Chinese), and both groups are not well versed in English. These frictions impose costs on MNCs and impede knowledge spillovers to domestic managers. The study can help reconcile why spillovers from FDI are often limited, despite widespread claims, and why cross-border investment is very responsive to language barriers.

The dispersal and biogeography of fungi are poorly understood, in part because individuals grow hidden within substrates and are difficult to see or count. The fungus Amanita phalloides is deadly poisonous and a rich literature records its history in Europe and America; the death cap is invasive in California. After briefly describing its history in North America, I will talk about the population genomics data we are using to delineate individuals (or genets). By collecting and genotyping mapped populations of fungi from California, Europe, and the Northeast U.S., we are discovering that most mushrooms in a habitat are unique genetic individuals. Data suggest that genets of A. phalloides are typically less than 1 m in diameter. The pattern holds across California, Europe, and the Northeast, and is the same for sites where populations are assumed to be young, and sites where A. phalloides has been collected for over 30 years. In fact, data collected at different time points from the same sites evince the same structures, even when populations are collected 10 years apart. There appears to be no correlation between body size and geographic origin or age of a population, moreover, dispersal appears highly local: most spores appear to fall just next to their source.

Abstract: In the years between 1958 and 1962, the Urban Commune movement was promoted as a radical effort to change the daily lives of city residents. By inserting women into the “productive” life of factory work, the movement also aimed at achieving a new form of everyday, based on a true equality of gender relationships, one achieved through the shared creativity of manual labor. While the movement failed, it nonetheless brought to the fore some of the crucial tensions that marred the search for a socialist everyday: between participatory democracy and state hierarchy, between production and liberation, and between labor and gender equality.

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.

The American Studies Consortium and the Poetry and Poetics Workshop present a lecture by Prof. Virginia Jackson (Irvine).

The history of American poetics is a mostly untold story, partly because nineteenth-century American poetics has been misunderstood as having begun with "the Romantic lyric," an idealized genre associated with British literary history, then having proceeded to Victorian or "genteel" poetry, before it entered American poetics only in Modernism, which has been understood as a phenomenon of the first decades of the twentieth century, a period in which "free verse" poets broke with inherited or imported "conventions." This way of characterizing the history of American poetry is reductive, but some version of it has been the unstated norm for so long that we may have ceased to realize how reductive it really is. This paper will focus on the example of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper in order to begin to tell a different story about the history of American poetry.

*Registration Closed. Contact hkat@umich.edu for future 4-week sessions.*

Thursdays from 4:00 - 5:30pm (10/4, 10/11, 10/18, 10/25)
@ Angel Hall G243 (Ground Floor)
During this 4-session class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills, including meditation, for managing stress and enriching your life. Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental, accepting, even curious, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.

Koru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!

For any questions, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.

Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Asian Languages and Cultures

Ven. Dr. Jongmae Kenneth Park
Dean of the Institute for Buddhist Studies and Sr. Bishop of the Korean Taego Order

Abbot of Bori-weon Korean Zen Center (Sedona, AZ)

Ven. Gwangjeon

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.

Law & Economics: What Can DNA Exonerations Tell Us About Racial Differences in Wrongful Conviction Rates? (October 25, 2018 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56224 56224-13867073@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 25, 2018 4:30pm
Location: South Hall
Organized By: Law & Economics

Abstract:

We examine the extent to which DNA exonerations can reveal whether wrongful conviction rates differ across races. We show that under a wide-range of assumptions regarding possible explicit or implicit racial biases in the DNA exoneration process (including no bias), our results suggest the wrongful conviction rate for rape is substantially and significantly higher among black convicts than white convicts. By contrast, we show that only if one believes that the DNA exoneration process very strongly favors innocent members of one race over the other could one conclude that there exist significant racial differences in wrongful conviction rates for murder.

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?

Speaker Carl Camden, IPSE US-The Association of Independent Workers and former CEO, Kelly Services will be interviewed by Rick Wartzman, Drucker Institute KH Moon Center for a Functioning Society

High Performance Computing & Data Science Workshop (October 25, 2018 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56071 56071-13825722@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 25, 2018 6:00pm

Organized By: Maize Pages Student Organizations

Researchers can leverage high performance computing (HPC) to pose and probe unique and interesting questions. In order to answer those questions, they need some ability to extract meaning from the data they generate. Data science has recently risen to prominence for its abilities not only to extract this meaning, but also to turn that meaning into actionable, data-driven predictions. Combining HPC and data science can allow a researcher to more easily ask questions and discover answers leading to even deeper questions. However, despite these benefits, it can be difficult for full-time researchers to learn an emerging field with no guidance while still producing research.To reduce this barrier, the Scientific Computing Student Club (SC2) presents the HPC and Data Science Workshop Series. For eight weeks in the Fall semester, we will meet once a week to discuss HPC and Data Science topics, focusing on how elements of HPC and data science can reinforce research and discovery. There will be no one instructor for this workshop; instead we will have guest speakers from SC2, ARC-TS, MICDE, and even MathWorks (MATLAB). Attendance at all workshops is encouraged, but not required. Pizza will be provided.

Animal Friends: Ceramic Sculpture (October 26, 2018 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53529 53529-13398970@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 26, 2018 8:00am
Location: University Hospitals
Organized By: Gifts of Art

Marcia Polenberg loves animals, each with its own unique personality, intelligence and expressive range of emotions. Using terra-cotta sculpture clay, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness, surprise, mischief, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times, building up a rich, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics, paint, graphite and pastel.

The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research, and are beautiful in their detail, form and symmetry. For each one, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells, tissues and organs, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants, worms, fruit flies, fish, mice and yes, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma, bipolar disease, epilepsy and cancer.

This group show of jewelry and ornaments includes the work of Roger Martin, who tackled the subject of a raven by relying on planes and shadow lines to imbue the surfaces of the bird with personality. Another one of the seven artists, Lorraine Kolasa, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler, Roger Smith, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. Blending images from the real world and her imagination, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature, such as tree branches, ice patterns, twisted vines, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the "leading lights of the next generation." This exhibit draws on drafts, proofs, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.

Working most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff, Carl Rakosi, and George Oppen, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally, for more than forty years, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine, The Big Scream, providing a venue for more than 200 poets, including both big names names and younger, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.

On view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Business+Impact at Michigan Ross

As part of the “Working Towards Shared Prosperity” conference at Ross sponsored by Business+Impact and the Aspen Institute Business & Society Program, this is one of two free public events for students, staff and the general public.

Business is not an innocent bystander when it comes to forces such as technology and market shifts. Why then is the current narrative about how business can “cope” with the future of work instead of recognizing the deep influence business has in building that future? What could a more just version of work look like and how do we get there?

Jim Keane, CEO, Steelcase will be interviewed by Joe Nocera, Bloomberg

Joined by Rebecca Henderson, Harvard University and Tom Kochan, MIT Sloan School of Management

This event and the conference at large are supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Accenture, Deloitte, the Good Companies, Good Jobs Initiative at MIT Sloan, and the C.K. Prahalad Initiative. The media partner for the conference is The Conversation.

Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Art Exhibit: Nancy Blum, RC Class of '85 (October 26, 2018 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56392 56392-13896770@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 26, 2018 10:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

RC alumna '85 Nancy Blum returns to East Quad to exhibit her drawings of flowers and to deliver the 10/19 Robertson Lecture on her public art installations.

Excerpted from her artist statement:
My large‐scale works on paper, rendered in ink, colored pencil, gouache and graphite, portray a fantastic realm in which flowers own the space. I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and, in this way, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.

I use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active, forceful agent, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity; hopefully, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.

When making art for public spaces, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture, ecosystem, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice, in turn, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

How Black is American Film History?: A Scholarship and Pedagogy Mini-Conference (October 26, 2018 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56285 56285-13876215@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 26, 2018 10:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Department of Film, Television, and Media

The event investigates the formation of the American film industry from its origins into the 1940s and beyond, paying special attention to the racially specific underpinnings of stardom, animation, and exhibition. The mini-conference's invited speakers will discuss their groundbreaking research into the complex relationships between black audiences and black performers in the classical Hollywood era, early American animation’s reliance on blackface minstrelsy, and understanding African American film exhibition before 1930 as broadcasts of racial uplift and demands to control their own visual representation on screen. During the pedagogy session, the speakers will also interrogate how research into film history and cinema-related archival collections can help University faculty and graduate student instructors foster and facilitate critical discussions of race with their students.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s (October 26, 2018 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53719 53719-13452943@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 26, 2018 11:00am

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

Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s, that question was hotly debated as artists, critics, and the public grappled with the relationship between art, politics, race, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Al Loving, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.

Lead support for "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

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

More than ever in the era of globalization, ideas traverse geographic, generational, and cultural boundaries, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa, Europe, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery, colonization, migration, racism, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings, photographs, sculpture, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai, Omar Victor Diop, Wangechi Mutu, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.

Lead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the University of Michigan Office of Research, African Studies Center, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination; re-writing the canonical accounts of history; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.

At a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists, designers, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art, design, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.

In October 1947, just two years after the end of World War II, the popular weekly news magazine LIFE sent staff photographers Lisa Larsen and Ralph Morse to cover homecoming weekend at the University of Michigan. The subsequent article, “Michigan Homecoming,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend, many of which were not published in the original article, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article, these photographs of fervent fans, strolling couples, alumni making their annual pilgrimage, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.

These photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

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.

In sparse linear regression, it is now well understood that the Lasso achieves fast prediction rates, provided that the correlations of the design satisfy some Restricted Eigenvalue or Compatibility condition, and provided that the tuning parameter is at least larger than some threshold. Using the two quantities introduced in the paper, we show that the compatibility condition on the design matrix is actually unavoidable to achieve fast prediction rates with the Lasso. In other words, the $\ell_1$-regularized Lasso must incur a loss due to the correlations of the design matrix, measured in terms of the compatibility constant. This results holds for any design matrix, any active subset of covariates, and any positive tuning parameter.
We also characterize sharp phase transitions for the tuning parameter of the Lasso around a critical threshold dependent on the sparsity $k$. If $\lambda$ is equal to or larger than this critical threshold, the Lasso is minimax over $k$-sparse target vectors. If $\lambda$ is equal or smaller than this critical threshold, the Lasso incurs a loss of order $\sigma\sqrt k$, even if the target vector has far fewer than $k$ nonzero coefficients. This sharp phase transition highlights a minimal penalty phenomenon similar to that observed in model selection with $\ell_0$ regularization by Birge and Massart.

Taking up Fabio Lanza’s question–is there a socialist everyday?–this panel will explore the nature, meanings, and boundaries of “everyday life” as it has been imagined and theorized by a wide array of scholars and historical actors. In contexts ranging from early Soviet linguistic theory to China’s Cultural Revolution to European Maoism, panelists ask: What is everyday life? Where does it begin and end, and what is its relationship with socialist ideologies and practices? What are its limitations as an interpretive category?

Panelists:

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

The 2019 Michigan Meetings will be a year-long event that critically engages with the big issues, urgent consequences, and radical possibilities for grappling with the meaning of life in this era of digital ubiquity. Whether defined as “animated corporeal existence,” “vitality,” or “to continue, to remain,” we see a profound opportunity to approach the digital world through a spectrum of the meaning of life-ness - alive, liveness, animated, lifelike, life-adjacent, consciousness, awareness, attention, awoke.

Digital culture reconfigures the way we know our bodies, our selves, our work, our objects and living spaces, our politics, and our sense of community. Like prior technologies, the digital gives rise to distinct new modes of experiencing time and space. Life is lived through constant network connectivity, GPS positioning, software databases, biotechnologies and wearable activity trackers, ‘smart’ buildings, cities, and homes, migrant digital labor, computational modeling, and the management of unfathomable streams of big data, and artificial intelligence. Subsequently, life is also lived through anxieties about identity theft, hacking, online harassment, piracy, surveillance and drone warfare.

Across campus, these questions will emerge in courses, colloquia, lectures, and informal conversations among students, faculty, staff, and peers. We aim to support meaningful and rewarding work in the technology industries or in academic research by giving students and faculty the history, critical perspective, and rigorous deep-dive into humanistic questions of “new” media life with this 2019 theme.

Psychology Methods Hour: Explaining the Benefits and Implementation of Bayesian Cognitive Modeling to Frequentist Reviewers (October 26, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54512 54512-13592088@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 26, 2018 12:00pm
Location: East Hall
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.

The Angamuco Urban Landscape: LiDAR, survey, and excavation at a Purépecha City, Michoacán, Mexico (October 26, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57003 57003-14059413@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 26, 2018 12:00pm

Angamuco is a newly documented Purépecha (Tarascan) urban center within the Imperial heartland of the Lake Pátzcuaro Basin, Michoacán, Mexico. Over the last decade we have conducted full coverage survey, urban mapping, LiDAR scanning and analysis, and excavation to better understand the growth and abandonment of Angamuco during the centuries prior to European contact. This work shows that (1) large urban centers with complex spatial organization and social stratification were present centuries prior to the formation of the Purépecha Empire, (2) the settlement incorporate gardens and other landscape features within and around the settlement demonstrating a high degree of human environmental modification, (3) current models for the evolution of social complexity in the region cannot account for the presence of Angamuco.

Eyes on the Horizon? Fragmented Elites and the Short-Term Focus of the American Corporation (October 26, 2018 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54846 54846-13645317@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 26, 2018 1:30pm

In recent years, scholars and popular commentators have expressed concerns that U.S. corporations are too focused on short-term performance, thereby undermining their long-term health and competitiveness. This paper examines how this focus on short-term strategies and performance, or short-termism, results from the dissolution of the American corporate elite network. In particular, we argue that the corporate-board interlock network traditionally served as an important collective resource that helped corporate elites to preserve their autonomy and control, mitigating short-termism. In recent years, changing board-appointment practices have fractured the board network, undermining its usefulness as a platform for collective action and exposing corporate leaders to short-term pressures. We develop and apply a cohesion metric for network managerialism, derived from theory and evidence in social-network scholarship. Using three indicators that capture short-termism earnings management and shareholder returns, we identify a structural basis for managerial short-termism that links external, network-based resources to managers’ decisions. The results highlight the benefits of the corporate elite network and illustrate unforeseen consequences of the network’s dissolution.

Diffusion models have shown great success in explaining choice response time in a wide variety of domains. However, to account for RT differences between correct and error responses, the model must assume random variability in parameters across trials. The first part of this talk presents mathematical results showing that, if this variability is unconstrained, then the model becomes unfalsifiable.

The second part presents a positive theory of intertrial variability that resolves this problem of excess flexibility, based on an integration of the diffusion model with reinforcement learning. These are arguably the two most successful frameworks in cognitive modeling, respectively describing within-trial and across-trial dynamics. I provide a Bayesian derivation that yields a natural synthesis of the two models and makes novel predictions about bidirectional influences between learning and decision making. Fits to data show the model simultaneously accounts for choice and RT within trials, learning across trials, and various interdependencies between these two timescales.

As the colonial past is increasingly being incorporated into national and transnational histories, some museums have positioned themselves as public facilitators of the labor of mourning, of empathetic listening, and of rehearsing postcolonial conviviality. The presentation looks at recent exhibitions in German and European museums, to examine how curators set struggles over racial inclusion and equality within longer histories of violence. How do these exhibitions approach the challenge of decolonizing national and European histories?

Katrin Sieg is Graf Goltz Professor and Director of the BMW Center for German and European Studies at Georgetown University, where she is jointly affiliated with the German department. The author of three scholarly monographs, she has published across the fields of German, European, and Theater/Performance studies. Her research intersects with feminist, postcolonial, and critical race studies.

Tissue engineering is becoming increasingly successful with authentically representing the actual environmental milieu of the development, regeneration and disease. The paradigm of tissue engineering is related to the integrated use of human cells, biomaterial scaffolds (structural and logistic templates for tissue formation) and bioreactors (culture systems providing environmental control, molecular and physical signaling) in regenerative medicine. Living human tissues can be bioengineered from the autologous stem cells, and tailored to the patient and the medical condition being treated. More recently, the same principles are being successfully applied to the patient-specific “organs on a chip” platforms designed to recapitulate some aspects of human physiology. This talk will discuss some recent advances in regenerative engineering and modeling of disease using functional human tissues grown in lab.

Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic is The Mikati Foundation Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Sciences at Columbia University in the City of New York.

Mothering Across Borders and the Children Left Behind: Zimbabwean and Mexican Immigrant Female Domestic Workers in Johannesburg, South Africa and San Diego, United States (October 26, 2018 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52887 52887-13107796@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 26, 2018 2:00pm
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

This comparative study, illustrates how motherhood materializes through the often emotionally-heavy choices that female immigrants make as they strive to take care of variably vulnerable populations often located simultaneously in different locations. In so doing, this project illustrates how domestic labor takes shape along with women’s strategies for navigating the most intimate relationships across a global stage fraught with economic and political challenges. This research is situated in relationship to transnational feminist thought by highlighting the strategies that women use to navigate motherhood within a larger context that connects their experiences and strategies across places. As such, by focusing on the employment experiences and choices of immigrant domestic workers who are part of transnational motherhood flows, furthers understandings of how emotions are entangled with understandings of personal economic failure, that are often invisible and unpaid, while relationally shaping the everyday experiences of these women. The material for this analysis is based on oral histories of female Zimbabwean immigrants working in Johannesburg, South Africa and ten in-depth interviews with Latina domestic workers in San Diego, California, including their children left behind in Mexico.

Lorena Munoz is an assistant professor in gender women and sexuality studies and American studies at the University of Minnesota. Her research focuses on the intersections of place, space, gender, sexuality, health, and race. Her transdisciplinary research agenda has been focused on Latinas/Latinos in the global south, particularly in the areas (in)formal economy, labor, health, and productive/transformative agency.

Does Virtual Reality Consist in Veridical, Illusory or Hallucinatory Experience?

Does virtual reality (VR) involve: (i) illusory or hallucinatory experience of things that are not there? or (ii) veridical experience of computational objects? I argue that traditional thinking about this issue involves a false dichotomy. I articulate my own account of illusion and hallucination, and argue that it entails VR experience is complex with veridical and non-veridical elements. I begin by presenting new cases of illusion and hallucination that have not heretofore been identified. These cases show that the traditional accounts of illusion and hallucination are incorrect. I provide a taxonomy of all the different kinds of illusion and hallucination. New instances of illusion and hallucination provide much needed, important data for testing theories of experience and perception—and can illuminate the nature of virtual reality experience. I go on to discuss virtual reality experience of the sort that is produced today, and show that we need to take account of the nature of the technology in thinking about the veridicality of the experience.

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.

Organized By: Department of History

In 2016 Rebecca Scott and Cuban historian Carlos Venegas came upon a record of the “confession” of María Luisa Coleta, a refugee from the Haitian Revolution who had been unlawfully enslaved in 1796, as narrated to Friar Félix, who had been summoned to her deathbed in Havana. Coleta declined to accept last rites, however, unless the friar would return with a scribe to copy down her story and take the document to a judge to initiate a freedom suit on behalf of her daughters, so that they would not suffer what she had suffered. The many folios of that lawsuit form the basis for the present essay, complemented by documents from France, England, and the Dominican Republic that trace the Atlantic dimension to this story. Together they cast light on the complexities of discerning and documenting status in the Atlantic world in the aftermath of the Haitian Revolution.

A paper will be circulated in advance of the workshop; please contact Michael Gawlik (mrgawlik@umich.edu) if you would like a copy.

A roundtable conversation about new ways to study and think about the entanglements of medial technologies in sociocultural life.
_________________
How should we understand the vast and often unexpected entanglements of media technologies in social and cultural life? This roundtable draws into dialogue linguistic and semiotic anthropology, media ethnography and archaeology, and science and technology studies. From syllabic typewriters to sound recorders, from postwar Japan and America to contemporary Punjab and Nigeria, we examine how human, media, and machine do not simply “interact” but variably combine and sometimes co-constitute each other with far-reaching effects. How do we take seriously the materiality of media and their infrastructures without neglecting cultural significance or resorting to species of determinism? In what ways are we helped or hindered by concepts such as “interface,” “indexicality,” and “technique,” and amalgams like “sociotechnical” and, indeed, “technosemiotic”?

CSAS Lecture Series | A Vigil Wasted? Notes on the Ruin-Sublime in Afghanistan (October 26, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53249 53249-13321611@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 26, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

As abandoned remnants of human activity, ruins evoke concerns about the durability of the past, a setting, and of human perception and culture. This talk explores the appearance of ruins in fiction and art set in Afghanistan. In these works syncretic colonial histories uniquely yoked to ruination (through description and setting) raise urgent questions about enduring forms of contemporary coloniality and the agency of any individual actor within a setting. This talk ultimately proposes a theory of the ‘ruin-sublime’ wherein aesthetic works join the material history of colonial desecration to psychic apprehensions to invite new ethically charged orientations towards the future.

Mrinalini Chakravorty, Associate Professor of English at the University of Virginia, is the author of In Stereotype: South Asia in the Global Literary Imaginary (Columbia UP, 2014), as well as articles on transnationalism, film, Arab women writers, interdisciplinarity, and contemporary global fiction. In Stereotype considers the influence of contemporary South Asian Anglophone novels to illustrate how their play on stereotypes about South Asia provide insight into the material and psychic investments of contemporary imaginative texts: the colonial novel, the transnational film, and the international best-seller. Chakravorty's other essays have appeared in PMLA, Modern Fiction Studies, South Asian Review, ARIEL, differences, and in various journals and collections. She received her Ph.D. in English and Critical Theory from the University of California, Irvine. At Virginia, she directs the English department’s Undergraduate Program and the concentration in Modern Literature and Culture. She is at work on two new books, one on representations of global hunger and another on postcolonial dystopias. She is also co-writing a critical biography of Freddie Mercury.

Abstract: Positional information in eukaryotic cells is mainly orchestrated by cytoskeletal highways and their associated motor proteins like Myosin, Kinesin, and Dynein. Bacteria don’t have linear motors, so how are they spatially organized? I will be discussing three members of the ParA/MinD family of ATPases that are part of self-organizing systems that put things in their place in cells across the microbial world. I will first present the ATPase called ParA, which is part of the most common DNA-segregation system in bacteria. ParA proteins form dynamic waves on the nucleoid to position chromosomes and plasmids in opposite cell-halves so that they are faithfully inherited after cell division. I will then discuss the ATPase called MinD, which is part of a system that forms oscillatory waves on the inner membrane. The oscillation aligns cell division at mid-cell so that daughter cells are equal in size. Finally, I will introduce a new member of this ATPase family we call McdA, which is part of an organelle trafficking system in bacteria. Yes. Bacteria have organelles. Our work is shedding light on what seems to be a general mode of subcellular organization in bacteria – dynamic protein gradients surfing biological surfaces to impart positional information for a wide variety of fundamental biological processes. My new lab focuses on subcellular organization in bacteria with a strong emphasis towards reconstituting the self-organizing activities of these systems in a cell-free setup using purified and fluorescent labeled components. By visualizing the biochemistry driving self-organization outside the cell we are able to provide comprehensive molecular mechanisms that explain subcellular organization inside the cell.

The optical properties of metal nanostructures are dominated by plasmon resonances, which are strong collective motions of the conduction electrons. These resonances are at the heart of a variety of schemes for molecular sensing and plasmon enhanced catalysis. However, the dynamics of plasmons can be difficult to study due to the distribution of particle sizes and shapes present in typical samples. In this talk I will describe single particle experiments that provide information about the ultrafast energy relaxation processes of plasmonic nanostructures, and how these structures interact with their environment. Examples of the processes that have been studied include the creation of novel hybrid states through coupling between plasmons and excitons, and the strange case of viscoelastic effects in the damping of vibrational modes of metal nanostructures.

Michael Haithcock, conductor
Annie Jeng, piano

Pre-concert conversation with Annie Jeng, Joel Puckett, and Michael Haithcock at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

Each piece to be performed was inspired by a literary or artistic source that motivated the composer. An apocalyptic vision of heaven inspired Messiaen, a devout Catholic. Puckett’s work was inspired by a quotation from Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha. Mussorgsky composed his Russian masterpiece for piano, inspired by a friends’ artistic renderings, as a memorial tribute. Paul Lavender’s transcription for band majestically captures Ravel’s brilliant orchestral setting.

PROGRAM: Messiaen- La Ville d’en Haut (The City on High), Annie Jeng, soloist; Joel Puckett- Adagio Symphony “that secret from the river;” Mussorgsky/Lavender- Pictures at an Exhibition

Marcia Polenberg loves animals, each with its own unique personality, intelligence and expressive range of emotions. Using terra-cotta sculpture clay, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness, surprise, mischief, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times, building up a rich, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics, paint, graphite and pastel.

The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research, and are beautiful in their detail, form and symmetry. For each one, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells, tissues and organs, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants, worms, fruit flies, fish, mice and yes, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma, bipolar disease, epilepsy and cancer.

This group show of jewelry and ornaments includes the work of Roger Martin, who tackled the subject of a raven by relying on planes and shadow lines to imbue the surfaces of the bird with personality. Another one of the seven artists, Lorraine Kolasa, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler, Roger Smith, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. Blending images from the real world and her imagination, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature, such as tree branches, ice patterns, twisted vines, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.
