DESCRIPTION:The LSA Honor Council is an undergraduate student organization dedicated to developing initiatives that aid in the promotion of respect\, integrity\, and personal responsibility. We also attend meetings hosted by the Office of Student Academic Affairs for students accused of academic misconduct.   In our recruitment efforts\, we prioritize the importance of forming a council composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. This spectrum of varied perspectives enables our council to more effectively address issues of integrity on our campus. This upcoming year\, we are recruiting a group of motivated and dedicated LSA students who are interested in working closely with the deans\, faculty\, and fellow students to promote a campus culture that values integrity. This past year\, we have accomplished this goal by hosting faculty department presentations\, tabling events\, and discussions of current ethical issues. Most recently\, we hosted Dr. Victor Strecher from the School of Public Health to present a talk on “Designing a Happy Life.” Given the breadth of our activities\, it is crucial that we incorporate students with diverse skill sets to maximize our council’s potential. We hope that you will join us next fall! Link to application: http://lsastudenthc.weebly.com/become-a-member.html UID:42259-10129571@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170914T180040 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170915T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170914T203000 SUMMARY:Other:September Informational Mass Meetings DESCRIPTION:Join the American Red Cross in kicking off our fall semester in service!

China was moving full steam ahead on the Cultural Revolution. The U.S. was grappling with a series of domestic and international problems including the Vietnam War. Mired in ideological opposition\, U.S.-China relations had been hostile since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Getting these Cold War foes to reconnect with each other looked like a mission impossible. Curiously\, Ping-Pong emerged to play an important role in bringing U.S.-China relations to rapprochement in the early 1970s and finally to normalization in 1979. \n\nThe historically significant Ping-Pong exchanges between China and the U.S. held in 1971 and 1972\, which came to be called “Ping-Pong Diplomacy” (乒乓外交 pingpang waijiao) in English\, were nicknamed xiaoqiu zhuandong daqiu 小球转动大球 (small ball spins the big globe) in Chinese. Unbeknownst to many\, Michigan played a key role in the 1972 exchanges. \n\nFeaturing an authentic Ping-Pong-table-sized panel that details highlights of these exchanges\, this exhibition commemorates the 45th anniversary of the Chinese Table Tennis Delegation’s historic visit to the U.S. in 1972\, especially to Ann Arbor and the U-M. Curated by Chinese Studies Librarian Liangyu Fu\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, the Confucius Institute\, and the Asia Library.

What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources\, and where should those resources come from?\n\nThis exhibit explores how students\, faculty\, staff\, politicians\, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

After disposing (selling\, recycling\, giving away) of everything that no longer served to enrich her life\, Schlesinger decided to merge this exercise with her art practice and depicted all of her remaining possessions in small oil paintings\, 380 in total. The paintings depict objects of functionality and ones of beauty\, eliciting contemplation and conversation about the ‘stuff’ we choose to live with.

While Ann Arbor may seem far removed from Detroit\, the themes of 1967—housing segregation\, media bias\, student activism\, and police violence—resonated here as well. \n\nThis exhibit\, on display in the Hatcher Graduate Library North lobby through September 15\, 2017\, highlights the extensive archival resources of the Bentley Historical Library and the U-M Library’s Labadie Collection. These materials place the rebellion in the context of 1960s activism against racism and inequality in Detroit and Ann Arbor\, and illustrate the significance and range of press coverage.

Inspired by the academic classifications invented by 19th-century Michigan Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward\, this new\, architecturally scaled installation serves as an archive of the original\, and presents a single room with thirteen plastic sculptures\, each representing one of Woodward’s professorships. As viewers peer into the space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge\, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it.\n\nAbout the artist: Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history\, knowledge\, and the natural world. “The job of the artist\,” he says\, “is to go against the grain of dominant culture\, to challenge perception and convention.” Appropriating archaeological\, field ecology\, and other scientific methods of collecting\, ordering\, and exhibiting objects\, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society\, tracking how pseudo-science\, social agendas\, and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York UID:42127-9560406@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42127 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Bicentennial,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593323@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170713T075735 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170915T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170915T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Saltiel Life Sciences Symposium DESCRIPTION:SCHEDULE\n8:30 a.m. | Welcome by U-M President Mark Schlissel\n\n8:40 a.m. | Brief retrospective on the life sciences at U-M\n \n9:10 a.m. | Introduction of the Mary Sue and Kenneth Coleman Life Sciences Lecturer\nAlan R.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

In this one-act play\, song\, dialogue and dance are used to tell the story of how the American hero Kilroy enters the pantheon of heroes by losing his innocence. The plaza of Ten Blocks on the Camino Real is a crossroads of world theater\, drawing on Williams’ experiences in Mexico\, and inspired by German theater\, Chinese opera and commedia del’arte. Ghana is the source and setting for this new production\, directed by David Kaplan\, curator of the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival. While the spoken English text is performed as written by Williams\, Spanish songs and Spanish words have been translated to Ghanaian songs and Ghanaian languages. Don Quixote has become Okomfo Okokye\, the founder of the Ashanti line of kings\, who finds his sidekick\, Osei-tutu. Other Spanish details are exchanged for Ghanaian specifics: pesos for pesewas\, fiesta for jubilee. The presiding musician plays two blue djembe drums\, rather than a blue guitar.\n\nEstablished in 1983 at the University of Ghana at Legon\, the professional theater company once known as “Abibigromma” became the resident troupe of the National Theatre of Ghana in 1991. The focus of the company is to develop a rich blend of music\, dance\, mime\, movement\, and dialogue with a strong social\, spiritual and folkloric base. In addition to performances and class visits throughout the week\, they will give a workshop for the public at the Residential College on Wednesday\, September 13 at 4pm in the East Quad Keene Theater\, and will also work with students at Ann Arbor’s Community High School\, and Mosaic Youth Theater in Detroit.\nCWPS aims to recreate the atmosphere of the Ghanaian outdoor productions here in Michigan\, staging performances in four outdoor venues through the week.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Crowley will then teach A Dance in Search of a Title\, a work originally intended as a solo but taught as an ensemble piece\, which explores the ties that bind beyond the physical realm. It is a dance of loss and longing\, contrasted with the hope and faith stemming from of a love that is eternal\n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities.\n\nEach guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.\n\nThis event supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.

Islamotopia: American Exceptionalism and Muslim Reform DESCRIPTION:The notion of \"American Islam\,\" signifying a uniquely American expression of Islam that either presently exists or awaits us as an attainable future\, has been employed by diverse Muslim thinkers\, including Salafi revivalists\, progressive feminists\, and even Muslim Republicans. Discourse of \"American Islam\" often represents this present/future as one in which American Muslims shed inauthentic cultural practices\, achieve a pure and authentically textualist Islam\, and then proceed to export \"true Islam\" to Muslims worldwide. The United States thus appears in these discourses as a sort of \"umma laboratory\" in which American Muslims will purify Islam on a global scale. This lecture examines the development of American Muslim exceptionalism\, the exclusions and marginalizations that it performs\, and calls attention to indicators of its decline.\n\nMichael Muhammad Knight is the author of 11 books\, including fiction\, nonfiction\, scholarship\, and scholarly reflection. Knight’s work examines issues of authenticity and authority in Muslim communities\, with special focus on American Muslims. He is assistant professor of religion and cultural studies at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. His 12th book\, \"Muhammad: Forty Introductions\,\" is forthcoming in 2018.\n\nSponsors: Islamic Studies Program\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum UID:41967-9497509@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/41967 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Inclusion,Multicultural,Muslim,Religious LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170907T094718 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170915T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170915T130000 SUMMARY:Well-being:Mindfulness@Umich (Faculty & Staff) DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness@Umich for Faculty and Staff.

This talk will describe two more research-focused applications of machine learning in the study of speech perception and production. \n\nFor speech perception\, we'll examine the difficult problem of identifying acoustic cues to a complex phonetic contrast\, in this case\, vowel nasality. Here\, by training machine learning algorithms on acoustic measurements\, we can more directly measure the informativeness of the various acoustic features to the contrast. This by-feature informativeness data was then used to create hypotheses about human cue usage\, and then\, to model the observed human patterns of perception\, showing that these models were able to predict not only the utilized cue\, but the subtle patterns of perception arising from less informative changes. \n\nFor speech production\, we'll focus on data from Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA)\, which provides position data for the articulators with high temporal and spatial resolution\, and discuss our ongoing efforts to identify and characterize pause postures (specific vocal tract configurations at prosodic boundaries\; Katsika et al. 2014) in the speech of 7 speakers of American English. Here\, the lip aperture trajectories of 800+ individual pauses were gold-standard annotated by a member of the research team\, and then subjected to principal component analysis and discrete cosine transform. These analyses were then used to train a support vector machine (SVM) classifier\, which achieved a 94% classification accuracy in cross-validation tests\, with a Cohen's Kappa showing machine-to-annotator agreement of 0.978\, suggesting the potential for improvements in speed\, consistency\, and objective characterization of gestures. \n\nThese methods of modeling feature importance and classifying curves using machine learning both demonstrate concrete methods which are potentially useful and applicable to a variety of questions in phonetics\, and potentially\, in linguistics in general.

Bottom-Up Attention Improves Working DESCRIPTION:Working memory (WM) is enhanced for items that capture attention\, but little is known about how it achieves this effect. In this talk\, I will provide behavioral and neural evidence that bottom-up attention is helpful only when perceptual selection demands are high. When multiple information sources compete\, bottom-up attention prioritizes the location at which encoding should begin. When encoding order is set\, bottom-up attention has little or no benefit to working memory. In contrast\, voluntary attention improves working memory regardless of encoding order. Neural evidence from fMRI and ERP supports this hypothesis. These results suggest that bottom-up attention improves the probability that items enter WM\, but voluntary attention is a better predictor of the quality of the representation.

When people talk about the weather\, we usually take that as a sign of nothing to talk about. This talk aims to show that the accusation that talking about the weather is intellectually empty is hardly the case in the age of climate change\, and even dangerous. The history of human interaction with weather is also a history of cultural techniques and media technologies. Dramatists and divines have sought meaning from atmospheric events. Reading the skies is one paradigm case of human-nature interaction\, and studying weather can stand in as part for whole as an inquiry into the environments humans have made or unmade. The history of modern weather forecasting is also a history of the militarization of the sky and oceans\, and is co-extensive with the history of modern telecommunications and computation. Weather raises two questions of profound interest to recent media theory: how mundane infrastructures are full of meaning and how vaporous or evanescent entities can be tracked\, recorded\, and programmed. In this way\, studying the weather is a special case in media theory’s more general study of how media help constitute the world.

The gravitino is overproduced unless the reheat temperature is sufficiently low\, which is incompatible with thermal leptogenesis. This is known as the gravitino problem. In models of low scale mediation\, the field value of the sgoldstino determines the mediation scale. We point out that the sgoldstino field value can be different in the early Universe than the present one. In particular\, a large initial field value since the era of the inflationary reheating suppresses the gravitino production significantly and removes the gravitino problem. We rigorously analyze the cosmological evolution of the sgoldstino and show that the reheat temperature may well exceed the conventional upper bound\, restoring the compatibility with thermal leptogenesis.

For example\, despite many years of research\, it still remains a question as to how much variability in ground motions one should expect of a large San Andreas type earthquake\, and whether early warning for debris flows can be successfully implemented. In this talk\, I address both of these questions by using simple but physically sound mechanical principles to quantify certain aspects of these hazards.

Although the biochemical bases of the functions that the kinetochore performs to segregate chromosomes are well-understood\, defining the underlying mechanisms has proven to be challenging. This is because the kinetochore is highly complex in composition (hundreds of copies of eight protein components)\, and large in size (a ~200 nm diameter disk-shaped surface). To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying kinetochore functions\, its spatial architecture must be defined. Specifically\, the nanoscale architecture of its protein components relative to the 25 nm diameter of a MT\, and sub-micron scale organization of ~20 such MT attachments over its ~200 nm wide surface must be determined to reveal how kinetochore components interact with one another\, with regulatory proteins\, and with the MT lattice. Here we investigate the nanoscale architecture of the human kinetochore using FRET microscopy. We initiated this analysis with the MT-binding Ndc80 complex\, the linchpin of kinetochore-MT attachment\, and the two parallel pathways that recruit it to the kinetochore. Our data elucidate the spatial architecture of the Ndc80 complex and how its two biochemical pathways organize the human kinetochore\, establishing a foundation for defining a complete picture of its MT-binding machinery.\nand\n\n“Interplay Between Antibiotic Efficacy and Drug-Induced Lysis Leading to Enhanced Biofilm Formation at Sub-MICs” \nKelsey Hallinen\, Biophysics Doctoral Candidate\nABSTRACT: We study E. faecalis biofilm formation at varying concentrations of antibiotic\, using subminimal inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of antibiotics on all wild-type biofilms and higher concentrations on mixed populations of both sensitive and drug resistant strains. In this work\, we investigate the effects of sub-MICs of ampicillin on the formation and extracellular matrix of E. faecalis biofilms. We found that total biofilm mass is increased over a narrow range of ampicillin concentrations before ultimately declining at higher concentrations. From our mixed population studies\, we show that the degree of cooperation between resistant and sensitive cells can significantly alter large-scale properties of the biofilm\, such as the ratio of sensitive to resistant cells and the statistical and architectural properties of cell-cell contact topologies.

Issued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, this call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond. Highlighting University of Michigan’s Special Collections\, Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context\, commemorates this pivotal transformation in world history.

His debut collection\, The Ugliest House in the World\, won the John Llewellyn Rhys and PEN/Macmillan awards in Britain. His second collection\, Equal Love\, was hailed by the New York Times Book Review for its \"stories as deep and clear as myth.\" It was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and a New York Times Notable Book. In 2003 Davies was named among the \"Best of Young British Novelists\" by Granta. The Welsh Girl was his first novel and his second\, The Fortunes\, was published in September 2016. The son of a Welsh father and Chinese mother\, Davies was raised in England and spent his summers in Wales.\n\nDerek Palacio received his MFA in creative writing from The Ohio State University. His short story “Sugarcane” appeared in The O. Henry Prize Stories 2013\, and his novella\, How to Shake the Other Man\, was published by Nouvella Books. He lives and teaches in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, is the codirector\, with Claire Vaye Watkins\, of the Mojave School\, and serves as a faculty member of the Institute of American Indian Arts MFA program.\n\nAbout The Fortunes:\nSly\, funny\, intelligent\, and artfully structured\, The Fortunes recasts American history through the lives of Chinese Americans and reimagines the multigenerational novel through the fractures of immigrant family experience.\nInhabiting four lives—a railroad baron’s valet who unwittingly ignites an explosion in Chinese labor\; Hollywood’s first Chinese movie star\; a hate-crime victim whose death mobilizes the Asian American community\; and a biracial writer visiting China for an adoption—this novel captures and capsizes over a century of our history\, showing that even as family bonds are denied and broken\, a community can survive—as much through love as blood.\n\nAbout The Mortifications:\nIn 1980\, a rural Cuban family is torn apart during the Mariel boatlift. Uxbal Encarnación—father\, husband\, political insurgent—refuses to leave behind the revolutionary ideals and lush tomato farms of his sun-soaked homeland. His wife\, Soledad\, takes young Isabel and Ulises hostage and flees with them to America\, leaving behind Uxbal for the promise of a better life. But instead of settling with fellow Cuban immigrants in Miami’s familiar heat\, Soledad pushes farther north into the stark\, wintry landscape of Hartford\, Connecticut. There\, in the long shadow of their estranged patriarch\, now just a distant memory\, the Encarnacións begin a process of growth and transformation.\n\nIn their own way\, each one both struggles and flourishes. Isabel\, spiritually hungry and desperate for higher purpose\, finds herself connected to the dying in uncanny ways. Ulises is bookish and awkwardly tall\, like his father\, whose memory haunts and shapes his thoughts. Presiding over them both is Soledad. Once consumed by her love for her husband\, she begins a tempestuous new relationship with a Dutch tobacco farmer.

We also attend meetings hosted by the Office of Student Academic Affairs for students accused of academic misconduct.   In our recruitment efforts\, we prioritize the importance of forming a council composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. This spectrum of varied perspectives enables our council to more effectively address issues of integrity on our campus. This upcoming year\, we are recruiting a group of motivated and dedicated LSA students who are interested in working closely with the deans\, faculty\, and fellow students to promote a campus culture that values integrity. This past year\, we have accomplished this goal by hosting faculty department presentations\, tabling events\, and discussions of current ethical issues. Most recently\, we hosted Dr. Victor Strecher from the School of Public Health to present a talk on “Designing a Happy Life.” Given the breadth of our activities\, it is crucial that we incorporate students with diverse skill sets to maximize our council’s potential. We hope that you will join us next fall! Link to application: http://lsastudenthc.weebly.com/become-a-member.html UID:42259-10129572@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170917T120017 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170916T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170916T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Sloop Championship DESCRIPTION:Flying Scott regatta hosted by Detroit Yacht Club UID:40757-9957298@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40757 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Detroit, Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170916T180020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170916T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170916T230000 SUMMARY:Other:Away Game @ PSU DESCRIPTION:Driving to Penn State to play our league rugby game against them.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593324@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170510T144424 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170916T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170916T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections.

Born in India and educated in the U.S.\, Correa earned a B. Arch. at the University of Michigan in 1953 and went on to receive his M.Arch. at MIT.\nOver a prolific career spanning six decades\, Charles Correa’s architecture\, urban design\, planning\, and writings inspired generations\, adapting the international language of modernism to the Indian context.. This exhibition\, organized by Nondita Correa Mehrotra\, the director of the Charles Correa Foundation\, explores the breadth of his built work\, through highlighting thirteen selected projects.

What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources\, and where should those resources come from?\n\nThis exhibit explores how students\, faculty\, staff\, politicians\, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

In this one-act play\, song\, dialogue and dance are used to tell the story of how the American hero Kilroy enters the pantheon of heroes by losing his innocence. The plaza of Ten Blocks on the Camino Real is a crossroads of world theater\, drawing on Williams’ experiences in Mexico\, and inspired by German theater\, Chinese opera and commedia del’arte. Ghana is the source and setting for this new production\, directed by David Kaplan\, curator of the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival. While the spoken English text is performed as written by Williams\, Spanish songs and Spanish words have been translated to Ghanaian songs and Ghanaian languages. Don Quixote has become Okomfo Okokye\, the founder of the Ashanti line of kings\, who finds his sidekick\, Osei-tutu. Other Spanish details are exchanged for Ghanaian specifics: pesos for pesewas\, fiesta for jubilee. The presiding musician plays two blue djembe drums\, rather than a blue guitar.\n\nEstablished in 1983 at the University of Ghana at Legon\, the professional theater company once known as “Abibigromma” became the resident troupe of the National Theatre of Ghana in 1991. The focus of the company is to develop a rich blend of music\, dance\, mime\, movement\, and dialogue with a strong social\, spiritual and folkloric base. In addition to performances and class visits throughout the week\, they will give a workshop for the public at the Residential College on Wednesday\, September 13 at 4pm in the East Quad Keene Theater\, and will also work with students at Ann Arbor’s Community High School\, and Mosaic Youth Theater in Detroit.\nCWPS aims to recreate the atmosphere of the Ghanaian outdoor productions here in Michigan\, staging performances in four outdoor venues through the week. These include:\n\n\nAnn Arbor Farmer’s Market \n315 Detroit Street\, Ann Arbor MI\nWednesday\, September 13 at 12pm\n\nThe Diag\nUniversity of Michigan\nFriday\, September 15 at 12pm\n\nYpsilanti Farmers Market Depot Town\n100 Rice Street\, Ypsilanti MI\nSaturday\, September 16 at 11am\n\nCMAP Detroit\n2221 Carpenter\, Detroit MI\nSunday\, September 17 at 2pm\n\n All performances are free and open to the public.

For this visionary project\, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. The juxtaposed images will address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.\nCosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3\, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17\, 2017.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt\, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media\, eras\, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

DESCRIPTION:The LSA Honor Council is an undergraduate student organization dedicated to developing initiatives that aid in the promotion of respect\, integrity\, and personal responsibility. We also attend meetings hosted by the Office of Student Academic Affairs for students accused of academic misconduct.   In our recruitment efforts\, we prioritize the importance of forming a council composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. This spectrum of varied perspectives enables our council to more effectively address issues of integrity on our campus. This upcoming year\, we are recruiting a group of motivated and dedicated LSA students who are interested in working closely with the deans\, faculty\, and fellow students to promote a campus culture that values integrity. This past year\, we have accomplished this goal by hosting faculty department presentations\, tabling events\, and discussions of current ethical issues. Most recently\, we hosted Dr. Victor Strecher from the School of Public Health to present a talk on “Designing a Happy Life.” Given the breadth of our activities\, it is crucial that we incorporate students with diverse skill sets to maximize our council’s potential. We hope that you will join us next fall! Link to application: http://lsastudenthc.weebly.com/become-a-member.html UID:42259-10129573@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170917T120017 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170917T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170917T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Sloop Championship DESCRIPTION:Flying Scott regatta hosted by Detroit Yacht Club UID:40757-9957299@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40757 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Detroit, Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170917T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170917T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Creating a Campus: A Cartographic Celebration of U-M's Bicentennial DESCRIPTION:Learn about the campus’ history and architecture and explore the campus that might have been.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief.

Born in India and educated in the U.S.\, Correa earned a B. Arch. at the University of Michigan in 1953 and went on to receive his M.Arch. at MIT.\nOver a prolific career spanning six decades\, Charles Correa’s architecture\, urban design\, planning\, and writings inspired generations\, adapting the international language of modernism to the Indian context.. This exhibition\, organized by Nondita Correa Mehrotra\, the director of the Charles Correa Foundation\, explores the breadth of his built work\, through highlighting thirteen selected projects. Professor Craig Borum designed the exhibition. The exhibition accompanies the inaugural Charles Correa International Lecture\, an annual lecture by an emerging architect engaged with global architecture and activism. The lecture will promote cultural understanding through design practice and discourse.\n\nRelated Events: Monday\, September 18\nFilm Screening\, Volume Zero: The Work of Charles Correa\n12:00pm\, Art + Architecture Building Auditorium \n\nExhibition Reception \n5:00pm\, Taubman College Gallery\n\nCharles Correa International Lecture: Tatiana Bilbao\n6:00pm\, Walgreen Drama Center STAMPS Auditorium UID:43445-9762919@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43445 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building - Taubman College Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171003T104509 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170917T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170917T120000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:CASC Monthly Yoga DESCRIPTION:Come join CASC in our monthly yoga session!

For this visionary project\, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. The juxtaposed images will address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.\nCosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3\, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17\, 2017.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt\, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media\, eras\, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

In this one-act play\, song\, dialogue and dance are used to tell the story of how the American hero Kilroy enters the pantheon of heroes by losing his innocence. The plaza of Ten Blocks on the Camino Real is a crossroads of world theater\, drawing on Williams’ experiences in Mexico\, and inspired by German theater\, Chinese opera and commedia del’arte. Ghana is the source and setting for this new production\, directed by David Kaplan\, curator of the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theater Festival. While the spoken English text is performed as written by Williams\, Spanish songs and Spanish words have been translated to Ghanaian songs and Ghanaian languages. Don Quixote has become Okomfo Okokye\, the founder of the Ashanti line of kings\, who finds his sidekick\, Osei-tutu. Other Spanish details are exchanged for Ghanaian specifics: pesos for pesewas\, fiesta for jubilee. The presiding musician plays two blue djembe drums\, rather than a blue guitar.\n\nEstablished in 1983 at the University of Ghana at Legon\, the professional theater company once known as “Abibigromma” became the resident troupe of the National Theatre of Ghana in 1991. The focus of the company is to develop a rich blend of music\, dance\, mime\, movement\, and dialogue with a strong social\, spiritual and folkloric base. In addition to performances and class visits throughout the week\, they will give a workshop for the public at the Residential College on Wednesday\, September 13 at 4pm in the East Quad Keene Theater\, and will also work with students at Ann Arbor’s Community High School\, and Mosaic Youth Theater in Detroit.\nCWPS aims to recreate the atmosphere of the Ghanaian outdoor productions here in Michigan\, staging performances in four outdoor venues through the week.

DESCRIPTION:The LSA Honor Council is an undergraduate student organization dedicated to developing initiatives that aid in the promotion of respect\, integrity\, and personal responsibility. We also attend meetings hosted by the Office of Student Academic Affairs for students accused of academic misconduct.   In our recruitment efforts\, we prioritize the importance of forming a council composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. This spectrum of varied perspectives enables our council to more effectively address issues of integrity on our campus. This upcoming year\, we are recruiting a group of motivated and dedicated LSA students who are interested in working closely with the deans\, faculty\, and fellow students to promote a campus culture that values integrity. This past year\, we have accomplished this goal by hosting faculty department presentations\, tabling events\, and discussions of current ethical issues. Most recently\, we hosted Dr. Victor Strecher from the School of Public Health to present a talk on “Designing a Happy Life.” Given the breadth of our activities\, it is crucial that we incorporate students with diverse skill sets to maximize our council’s potential. We hope that you will join us next fall! Link to application: http://lsastudenthc.weebly.com/become-a-member.html UID:42259-10129574@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170917T120017 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170918T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170917T180000 SUMMARY:Other:Sloop Championship DESCRIPTION:Flying Scott regatta hosted by Detroit Yacht Club UID:40757-9957300@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40757 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Detroit, Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170918T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170918T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Creating a Campus: A Cartographic Celebration of U-M's Bicentennial DESCRIPTION:Learn about the campus’ history and architecture and explore the campus that might have been.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work.

Inspired by the academic classifications invented by 19th-century Michigan Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward\, this new\, architecturally scaled installation serves as an archive of the original\, and presents a single room with thirteen plastic sculptures\, each representing one of Woodward’s professorships. As viewers peer into the space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge\, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it.\n\nAbout the artist: Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history\, knowledge\, and the natural world. “The job of the artist\,” he says\, “is to go against the grain of dominant culture\, to challenge perception and convention.” Appropriating archaeological\, field ecology\, and other scientific methods of collecting\, ordering\, and exhibiting objects\, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society\, tracking how pseudo-science\, social agendas\, and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York UID:42127-9560409@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42127 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Bicentennial,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593326@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170913T075711 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170918T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170918T100000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Clinical Science Brown Bag: Early Childhood Precursors of Gender Differences in Depressive Symptoms: Integrating contributions of child emotion regulation and maternal risk factors DESCRIPTION:The main goal of this study was to examine early social and developmental precursors of gender differences in children’s later depressive symptoms. Girls show higher levels of depressive symptoms than boys as early as the \npreadolescent period\, and these differences persist across the lifespan. However\, relatively little is known about risk factors in early childhood that predict later gender differences in depressive symptoms. Participants were 218 3-year-old boys and girls who were reassessed during the late school-age years (age 10-11). Our predictive model integrated constructs of early emotion regulation and maternal distress as predictors of children’s later depressive symptoms. At age 3 years\, we assessed child emotion regulation as well as maternal distress using behavioral measures and parent reports\, in addition to home visits and laboratory observations. Mothers and teachers contributed ratings of children’s depressive symptoms at both time points. Children’s self-regulation abilities differed significantly in terms of anger\, with boys more likely to be dysregulated this way. While most young children follow a common pathway marked by low levels of symptoms\, we identified an atypical trajectory – that of anger later manifesting in elevated levels of internalizing problems. We found that three-year-old children with limited capacity for/low levels of emotion regulation expressed in the form of anger were more likely to show elevated internalizing problems later in childhood. These results did not differ by gender. Likewise\, for both boys and girls\, maternal distress predicted later internalizing problems. Findings suggest that children’s poor emotion regulation skills are the best predictor of early onset problems\, emphasizing the need for early childhood screening and intervention efforts for identified “angry” boys and girls\, as well as support for mothers identified as depressed and who perceive themselves as socially isolated and non-efficacious caregivers.

Traditional solutions of noise control have largely been passive damping and insolation\, however in the present work\, we explore the possibility of active noise control (ANC) which can provide significant noise reduction with smaller\, lighter\, and at times\, cheaper solutions. The present work concerns development of retrospective cost adaptive control (RCAC) and the application of RCAC to ANC. \n\nAn alternative interpretation of the retrospective performance is presented which views the retrospective performance variable as a combination of the pseudo-performance and the model-matching error. We demonstrate a practical application of RCAC in a broadband feedback road noise suppression problem in a vehicle. This leads to the question\, if you suppress the noise at the performance microphone\, what is effect at the actual ear of the driver where you may not be able to place a sensor and the development of the concept of spatial. The framework of RCAC is then extended to the feedforward control problem. We make comparisons of RCAC feedforward to linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control and the classic filtered-x least-mean-square (FxLMS) algorithm as well as demonstrate RCAC in an acoustic experiment.\n\nDissertation Committee\nChair: Professor Dennis S.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt\, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media\, eras\, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

In both experiments\, the program dramatically reduces violent-crime arrests\, even after the summer. It does so without improving employment\, schooling\, or other types of crime\; if anything\, property crime increases over 2-3 post-program years. To explore mechanisms\, we implement a machine learning method that predicts treatment heterogeneity using observables. The method identifies a subgroup of youth with positive employment impacts\, whose characteristics differ from the disconnected youth served in most employment programs. We find that employment benefiters commit more property crime than their control counterparts\, and non-benefiters also show a decline in violent crime. These results do not seem consistent with typical theory about improved human capital and better labor market opportunities creating a higher opportunity cost of crime\, or even with the idea that these programs just keep youth busy. We discuss several alternative mechanisms\, concluding that brief youth employment programs can generate substantively important behavioral change\, but for different outcomes\, different youth\, and different reasons than those most often considered in the literature.

The Wanted 18 DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a film screening of \"The Wanted 18.\" It started simply enough\, with the purchase of 18 cows. Bought by residents of the West Bank town of Beit Sahour\, the cows were a symbol of freedom and resistance\, allowing them to provide milk for their children rather than buying it from an Israeli company. But these were not ordinary times. The first Palestinian popular movement in the West Bank was rising and soon the illegal cows\, cherished by the Palestinians\, were being sought by the Israeli army. With humor and passion\, The Wanted 18 captures the spirit of the 1987 uprising through the personal experiences of those who lived it\, bringing to life one of the strangest chapters in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict UID:42804-9661744@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42804 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Film,International,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171122T141935 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170918T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170918T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Cross Campus Transfer to LSA Information Sessions DESCRIPTION:Are you thinking about transferring to LSA from another University of Michigan school or college?

Johnson\, PhD DESCRIPTION:Title: Secure Messaging and Patient Portals: Designing Customer-Facing Processes\n\nPatient-facing technologies\, such as secure messaging (SM) or email between patients and providers\, promise increased patient satisfaction and engagement as well as the potential to improve access and care quality. These technologies may be embedded in patient portals\, which link to an electronic health record system\, or standalone systems. As with other IT systems\, patient portals are likely to be more effective if implemented in conjunction with workflow and process design. \n\nIn this talk\, process impacts and design guidelines for patient-facing technologies are explored in the context of two separate studies. In the first study\, SM implementation at two Veterans Health Administration facilities was examined\, through content analysis of secure messages sampled from 40 primary care teams as well as a process analysis developed from interviews with members from a subset of 8 care teams. Questions addressed staff opinions about the integration of SM with daily practice\, and team members’ attitudes and experiences with SM. We describe several clinical workflow patterns that emerged for SM\, as well as explored technology fit and resulting issues. In the second study\, we analyzed patient portal use from a multi-specialty group medical practice (250 physicians\, 25 clinics\, 200\,000 patients\, and over one million patient visits annually). We examined the relationship between portal use and encounters (telephone calls and office visits) as well as explored effects on perceived health management. Findings from both studies can inform organizational interventions that support more effective patient portal implementation and improved outcomes.\n\nSharon A. Johnson is a Professor of Operations and Industrial Engineering in the Foisie School of Business at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). She recently served as Faculty Director of the Healthcare Delivery Institute (HDI) at WPI\, and is currently a member of HDI’s Faculty Steering Committee. Dr. Johnson’s research focuses on modeling healthcare delivery processes\, as well as identifying improvements enabled by information technologies and system design methods. Recent projects have explored the use of lean as an implementation strategy for healthcare interventions\, investigated the impact of secure messaging on workflows\, analyzed access and capacity in health clinics\, and examined the implementation of electronic health record systems\, including personal health records. She has also explored hands-on approaches for teaching lean process design. Dr. Johnson’s research has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the New England Veterans Engineering Resource Center. Her work has appeared in Operations Research\, the Journal of the Association for Information Systems\, and the Journal of Healthcare Management.

In 1998 she became Advisor for Urban Projects and Urban Residential Construction of the Mexico City Development Department. She founded her own studio\, Tatiana Bilbao Estudio\, in Mexico City in 2004\, developing projects in China and Europe\, as well as in Mexico. In 2007 she was awarded Design Vanguard as one of the top ten emerging firms of the year by Architectural Record\, and the Architecture League in New York named her as Emerging Voice in 2010. The Centre Pompidou added her three of her projects to their permanent collection in 2010\, and her work is also included in the collections of the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. She received the CEMEX Building Award in 2011 and 2013\, and the Kunstpries Berlin in 2012.\nIn 2014 she received the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture by the LOCUS Foundation\, Cité de l´Architecture of Paris and the patronage of UNESCO.\nHer work centers on developing architectural projects that respond to the social climate. For over ten years\, Bilbao has been participating in an important multidisciplinary project in the city of Culiacán\, the capital of the state of Sinaloa\, in Mexico\, a small city with complex social and political issues. The Jardín Botánico Culiacán (Culiacán Botanical Garden) is a public space\, based on an extensive private contemporary art collection\, that became an ambitious project to develop a cultural environment. One of her first projects and still ongoing\, the evolving Botanical Garden complex is an democratic space that offers possibilities for all.\nIn addition to her studio practice\, she has also pursued an academic career\, including teaching design at the Universidad Iberoamericana and at Andres Bello University in Santiago\, Chile.  She was the Louis Kahn Visiting Professor at Yale School of Architecture in the spring 2015. In spring 2016\, she was named Cullinan Visiting Professor at Rice School of Architecture and became Adjunct Associate Professor of Architecture at Columbia GSAPP that fall. In spring 2017\, she was named the Norman R. Foster Professor of Architectural Design at Yale University School of Architecture.

Kelley’s session will discuss a woman’s ability to both lead and contribute in vital programming\, trading\, and quantitative roles.\n\nKelley’s path to the trading world is unconventional and can serve as motivation to young women who are interested in such a career but don’t know where they’d fit in. Graduating from college with a political science degree\, Kelley was introduced to the industry when she met someone from Toji Trading Group and had the opportunity to start out as a liaison between traders and developers. She began developing programs complementary to the trading systems\, and eventually started leading the support of all the firm’s trading systems. Today\, she carries on this very same role at DRW — one she never thought she’d have.\n\nThere is a common misconception that you have to be a quant developer working directly on a trading system to survive in trading. However\, there are many other roles that build incredible and complex technology\, both within trading systems — like Kelley’s role\, which involves working within different parts of the systems — and outside them\, in risk\, infrastructure\, etc. UID:44720-9969000@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44720 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Career,Corporate,Engineering,Industry Session,Information and Technology,Professional Development,Recruiting LOCATION:Herbert H.

One of many emblems of our strong relationship is the thousands of Chinese students\, visiting scholars\, faculty\, and staff that Michigan proudly welcomes to campus each year. They contribute immensely to our campus learning community. Michigan also sends numerous students\, faculty\, and staff to China each year to participate in dozens of programs\, including Joint Institutes we have with Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Peking University Health Science Center. \n\nIn celebration of the 45th anniversary of Ping Pong Diplomacy\, the University of Michigan is excited to host an evening highlighting the history\, impact\, and a continued dedication to a solid relationship between Michigan and China.

DESCRIPTION:The LSA Honor Council is an undergraduate student organization dedicated to developing initiatives that aid in the promotion of respect\, integrity\, and personal responsibility. We also attend meetings hosted by the Office of Student Academic Affairs for students accused of academic misconduct.   In our recruitment efforts\, we prioritize the importance of forming a council composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. This spectrum of varied perspectives enables our council to more effectively address issues of integrity on our campus. This upcoming year\, we are recruiting a group of motivated and dedicated LSA students who are interested in working closely with the deans\, faculty\, and fellow students to promote a campus culture that values integrity. This past year\, we have accomplished this goal by hosting faculty department presentations\, tabling events\, and discussions of current ethical issues. Most recently\, we hosted Dr. Victor Strecher from the School of Public Health to present a talk on “Designing a Happy Life.” Given the breadth of our activities\, it is crucial that we incorporate students with diverse skill sets to maximize our council’s potential. We hope that you will join us next fall! Link to application: http://lsastudenthc.weebly.com/become-a-member.html UID:42259-10129575@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Creating a Campus: A Cartographic Celebration of U-M's Bicentennial DESCRIPTION:Learn about the campus’ history and architecture and explore the campus that might have been.

What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources\, and where should those resources come from?\n\nThis exhibit explores how students\, faculty\, staff\, politicians\, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696862@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170726T152806 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T210000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michigan Past & Present DESCRIPTION:Profiles of U-M’s first six students\, and the two faculty who taught them\, and how they compare to the university of 2017.

After disposing (selling\, recycling\, giving away) of everything that no longer served to enrich her life\, Schlesinger decided to merge this exercise with her art practice and depicted all of her remaining possessions in small oil paintings\, 380 in total. The paintings depict objects of functionality and ones of beauty\, eliciting contemplation and conversation about the ‘stuff’ we choose to live with.

While Ann Arbor may seem far removed from Detroit\, the themes of 1967—housing segregation\, media bias\, student activism\, and police violence—resonated here as well. \n\nThis exhibit\, on display in the Hatcher Graduate Library North lobby through September 15\, 2017\, highlights the extensive archival resources of the Bentley Historical Library and the U-M Library’s Labadie Collection.

Inspired by the academic classifications invented by 19th-century Michigan Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward\, this new\, architecturally scaled installation serves as an archive of the original\, and presents a single room with thirteen plastic sculptures\, each representing one of Woodward’s professorships. As viewers peer into the space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge\, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it.\n\nAbout the artist: Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history\, knowledge\, and the natural world. “The job of the artist\,” he says\, “is to go against the grain of dominant culture\, to challenge perception and convention.” Appropriating archaeological\, field ecology\, and other scientific methods of collecting\, ordering\, and exhibiting objects\, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society\, tracking how pseudo-science\, social agendas\, and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York UID:42127-9560410@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42127 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Bicentennial,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593327@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171004T063028 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T133000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs: CIA Informational Interviews DESCRIPTION:\nNote: Selecting “Join Event” does not schedule a consultation appointment.

Born in India and educated in the U.S.\, Correa earned a B. Arch. at the University of Michigan in 1953 and went on to receive his M.Arch. at MIT.\nOver a prolific career spanning six decades\, Charles Correa’s architecture\, urban design\, planning\, and writings inspired generations\, adapting the international language of modernism to the Indian context.. This exhibition\, organized by Nondita Correa Mehrotra\, the director of the Charles Correa Foundation\, explores the breadth of his built work\, through highlighting thirteen selected projects. Professor Craig Borum designed the exhibition. The exhibition accompanies the inaugural Charles Correa International Lecture\, an annual lecture by an emerging architect engaged with global architecture and activism. The lecture will promote cultural understanding through design practice and discourse.\n\nRelated Events: Monday\, September 18\nFilm Screening\, Volume Zero: The Work of Charles Correa\n12:00pm\, Art + Architecture Building Auditorium \n\nExhibition Reception \n5:00pm\, Taubman College Gallery\n\nCharles Correa International Lecture: Tatiana Bilbao\n6:00pm\, Walgreen Drama Center STAMPS Auditorium UID:43445-9762921@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43445 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building - Taubman College Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170920T131412 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T150000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Become an Arts Ambassador!

For this visionary project\, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. The juxtaposed images will address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.\nCosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3\, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17\, 2017.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt\, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media\, eras\, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

DESCRIPTION:The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season has produced incredibly destructive storms\, and has raised many questions. What drives a hurricane? How accurate are hurricane models? How do authorities prepare for hurricanes and\, when destructive events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma happen\, how do we respond? Is this hurricane season a fluke\, or should we start planning for more/similar storms? In this Teach-Out\, we will explore the science of hurricanes\, hurricane forecasting and monitoring\, and with what confidence can we attribute these storms to a warming ocean.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

As viewers enter the darkened space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge\, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it. Waiting for the Extraordinary serves as an archive of the original\, as part of the Institute for the Humanities’ Year of Archives and Futures\, and in celebration of the U-M Bicentennial.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York\n(TBG 14740) UID:42130-9560489@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42130 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Bicentennial,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Because charge moves freely in the 2D plane\, these materials have potential application in electronics\; however\, conventional doping strategies have not been developed for 2D materials. An alternative approach is to use electrolyte gating. Under an applied gate voltage\, ions in the electrolyte create an electrostatic double layer (EDL) at the interface between the electrolyte and the semiconductor\; the EDL can induce sheet carrier densities on the order of 1014 cm-2 for both electrons and holes – more than one order of magnitude larger than conventional gating techniques. Our group seeks to translate EDL gating from a measurement tool for exploring transport to an active device component that enables new functionality at the ultimate limit of scaling. I will describe our work using polymer electrolytes to dope transistors based on graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)\, and our development of new types of electrolytes for applications in security and information storage. Specifically\, I will introduce a monolayer electrolyte developed by our group and show the first device characteristics on graphene and MoS2 FETs.\n\nSusan Fullerton is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Petroleum at the University of Pittsburgh.

Grafting DNA onto colloidal nano- and microparticles can\, in principle\, ‘program’ them with information that tells them exactly how to self-assemble. Recent advances in our understanding of how this information is compiled into specific interparticle attractions have enabled the assembly of crystal phases not found in ordinary colloids\, and could be extended to the assembly of prescribed\, nonperiodic structures. However\, structure is just one piece of a more complicated story\; in actuality\, self-assembly describes a phase transition between a disordered state and an ordered state\, or a pathway on a phase diagram. In this talk\, I will present experiments showing that the information stored in DNA sequences can be used to design the entire self-assembly pathway\, and not just its endpoint. Using free DNA strands that either link together strands grafted to particles or compete to bind with them\, I will show that it is possible to create colloids with new types of phase behavior\, such re-entrant melting\, temperature-independent coexistence\, and reversible transitions between different solid phases. Going forward\, this work could prove especially useful in nanomaterials research\, where a central goal is to manufacture functional materials that can respond or reconfigure on demand.\n\n\n UID:42182-9584870@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42182 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170907T155134 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DISC Lecture. Being Muslims: A Cultural History of Women of Color in American Islam DESCRIPTION:Sylvia Chan-Malik offers a previously untold story of Islam in the United States that foregrounds the voices\, experiences\, and images of women of color in the United States from the early twentieth century to the present. Until the late 1960s\, the majority of Muslim women in the U.S.—as well as almost all U.S. Muslim women who appeared in the American press or popular culture\, were African American. Thus\, she argues that lives and labors of African American Muslim women have—and continue to—forcefully shaped the meanings and presence of American Islam\, and are critical to approaching issues confronting Muslim women in the contemporary U.S. Focusing on the experiences of African American women in the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam in 1920s Chicago\, Chan-Malikexplores how U.S. Muslim women’s identities have been consistently forged against commonsense notions of racial\, gendered\, and religious belonging and citizenship\, and argues that desires for gender and racial justice deeply inform U.S. women’s engagements with Islam.\n\nSylvia Chan-Malik studies the intersections of race\, gender\, and religion in the United States\, with a particular interest in how these categories intersect in contemporary struggles for social justice. She teaches courses on race and ethnicity in the United States\, Islam in/and America\, social justice movements\, feminist methodologies\, multiethnic literature and culture in the U.S.\, and 20-21st century U.S. history. She is also on the faculty of the Women’s and Gender Studies department. Chan-Malik holds a PhD in Ethnic Studies from the University of California\, Berkeley\, an MFA in Creative Writing from Mills College\, and a BA in English and Ethnic Studies from the University of California\, Berkeley.\n\nSponsored by the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC) with support from Arab and Muslim American Studies\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Islamic Studies Program\, Islamophobia Working Group\, Women's Studies Department UID:42228-9585112@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:African American,Multicultural,Muslim,Women's Studies LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170914T085625 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170919T173000 SUMMARY:Presentation:German 351 Student Internship Presentations DESCRIPTION:Students who are currently enrolled in German 351 completed an internship in a German-speaking country this past summer.

Elections in Hard Times: Building Stronger Democracies in the 21st Century DESCRIPTION:Why are 'free and fair' elections so often followed by democratic backsliding? Irfan Nooruddin answers this critical question\, showing why even clean elections fail to advance democracy when held amidst challenging structural conditions. This lecture will open with a comprehensive\, accessible synthesis of fifty years of research on elections and democratization\, a resource for experts\, policymakers\, and students. It then develops a new theory of why elections fail in countries with little democratic history or fiscal resources\, and a history of violent conflict. Nooruddin’s talk leverages an eclectic mix of cross-national data\, short case studies and surveys of voters to support this theory. \n \nIrfan Nooruddin is the Hamad bin Khalifa Professor of Indian Politics and the Faculty Chair of the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown. He directs the Georgetown University India Initiative\, a university-wide initiative that advances research and teaching around India and its role in world affairs and creates a platform for high-level dialogue among American and Indian leaders from government\, business\, civil society\, and the academy. He is the author of \"Elections in Hard Times: Building Stronger Democracies in the 21st Century\" (Cambridge\, 2016) and \"Coalition Politics and Economic Development: Credibility and the Strength of Weak Governments\" (Cambridge\, 2011).

In the marshaling of knowledge and expertise\, the greatest achievement of the University lies not in its continuity\, but in its ability to address the unforeseen. Drawing on the student work from the Taubman College Architecture Program\, “The Future Needs…Something Blue” addresses an idea of the future that lies not in the answers to questions we now know\, but in possibilities we are only now beginning to imagine. Sited at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning’s Liberty Research Annex\, the display is simultaneously shop window\, gallery\, and salon. Organized around a series of emergent themes it is an interactional space in which to view (in perspective\, parallax\, parallel\, and contrast) the multiple points of view that constitute the future.\n“The Future Needs…Something Blue” is curated by Associate Professor of Practice Julia McMorrough and Associate Professor John McMorrough of studioAPT (Architecture Practice Theory).\nReception will be held at the Liberty Research Annex (305 W.

DESCRIPTION:The LSA Honor Council is an undergraduate student organization dedicated to developing initiatives that aid in the promotion of respect\, integrity\, and personal responsibility. We also attend meetings hosted by the Office of Student Academic Affairs for students accused of academic misconduct.   In our recruitment efforts\, we prioritize the importance of forming a council composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. This spectrum of varied perspectives enables our council to more effectively address issues of integrity on our campus. This upcoming year\, we are recruiting a group of motivated and dedicated LSA students who are interested in working closely with the deans\, faculty\, and fellow students to promote a campus culture that values integrity. This past year\, we have accomplished this goal by hosting faculty department presentations\, tabling events\, and discussions of current ethical issues. Most recently\, we hosted Dr. Victor Strecher from the School of Public Health to present a talk on “Designing a Happy Life.” Given the breadth of our activities\, it is crucial that we incorporate students with diverse skill sets to maximize our council’s potential. We hope that you will join us next fall! Link to application: http://lsastudenthc.weebly.com/become-a-member.html UID:42259-10129576@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170920T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170920T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Creating a Campus: A Cartographic Celebration of U-M's Bicentennial DESCRIPTION:Learn about the campus’ history and architecture and explore the campus that might have been.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696863@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170726T152806 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170920T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170920T210000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michigan Past & Present DESCRIPTION:Profiles of U-M’s first six students\, and the two faculty who taught them\, and how they compare to the university of 2017.

After disposing (selling\, recycling\, giving away) of everything that no longer served to enrich her life\, Schlesinger decided to merge this exercise with her art practice and depicted all of her remaining possessions in small oil paintings\, 380 in total. The paintings depict objects of functionality and ones of beauty\, eliciting contemplation and conversation about the ‘stuff’ we choose to live with.

While Ann Arbor may seem far removed from Detroit\, the themes of 1967—housing segregation\, media bias\, student activism\, and police violence—resonated here as well. \n\nThis exhibit\, on display in the Hatcher Graduate Library North lobby through September 15\, 2017\, highlights the extensive archival resources of the Bentley Historical Library and the U-M Library’s Labadie Collection. These materials place the rebellion in the context of 1960s activism against racism and inequality in Detroit and Ann Arbor\, and illustrate the significance and range of press coverage.

Inspired by the academic classifications invented by 19th-century Michigan Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward\, this new\, architecturally scaled installation serves as an archive of the original\, and presents a single room with thirteen plastic sculptures\, each representing one of Woodward’s professorships. As viewers peer into the space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge\, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it.\n\nAbout the artist: Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history\, knowledge\, and the natural world. “The job of the artist\,” he says\, “is to go against the grain of dominant culture\, to challenge perception and convention.” Appropriating archaeological\, field ecology\, and other scientific methods of collecting\, ordering\, and exhibiting objects\, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society\, tracking how pseudo-science\, social agendas\, and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York UID:42127-9560411@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42127 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Bicentennial,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593328@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171005T063023 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170920T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170920T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:ALA 375 DESCRIPTION:This is a closed session for the students of ALA 375.

Titled Cosmogonic Tattoos\, his project will use adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity. \n\nLook for displays in the UMMA from April 22-Dec. 3\, the exterior of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Dec. 17\, and in the interior special exhibition space of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Sept. 10.\n\nFor information on-the-go about this event and all other Bicentennial happenings\, download our free mobile app: http://guidebook.com/g/umich200.

The juxtaposed images will address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.\nCosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3\, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17\, 2017.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Problematizing Populism: The Polish Radical Right and the Return of National Communism DESCRIPTION:It’s easy to be confused by the rhetoric of the current political struggle in Poland. On the one hand\, the ruling party presents itself as the most uncompromising opponent of communism and its legacy\, but on the other hand\, many liberal critics see a resurrection of the communist state. Although these two claims seem mutually exclusive\, both are partly correct. The current government’s ostentatious Catholicism\, as well as its glorification of the armed resistance to the Soviet Union in the late 1940s would not suggest hidden communist sympathies. But just below the surface of this undeniable anticommunism\, the current government has indeed perpetuated a strand of Polish politics with roots stretching back to the period before 1989. Recognizing this historical context not only helps us understand the current regime\, but retrospectively casts a new light on the whole postwar era. \n\nBrian Porter-Szűcs is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of History at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, where he has taught since 1994.

Explicit constructions of these solutions are based on configurations of branes puffed up by the supertube effect. In an appropriate duality frame\, we can construct the simplest supertube by adding momentum to a symmetric distribution of NS5 branes on their Coulomb branch. This suggests an exact worldsheet description of the supertube as a null gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model. Such exact treatment in worldsheet string theory also describes BPS and non-BPS three-charge microstate geometries. This construction reveals stringy structures that are invisibile in the supergravity approximation\, and that play a crucial role in understanding the constituents that carry most of the entropy.

The Song dynasty tradition of singing ci songs is now lost\, but since mid-Qing\, there is a tradition of avocational performers singing ci songs with kunqu or operatic vocal styles. This lecture introduces this performance tradition by clarifying differences between commercial performers (xigong) and non-commercial performers (qinggong) in the context of their artistic preferences\, social functions\, and repertories.\n\nProfessor Zhou Qin is a professor at Suzhou University\, as well as the associate director of the Kunqu Research Center of China\, the associate director of the Chinese Association of Kunqu and Gunqin Research\, and a researcher at the Research Center of Jiangsu History and Culture. He was the principal coach for traditional singing and chanting practices for Peony Pavilion\, the Young Lover’s Edition (2004). Currently\, he hosts and teaches Kunqu yishu (The Art of Kunqu)\, a nation-wide online course in China. Devoted to promoting kunqu domestically and internationally\, Professor Zhou has extensively toured China\, Hong Kong\, Taiwan\, Germany\, France\, Japan\, and the US. In 2004\, the Suzhou municipal government awarded him a prize to acknowledge his efforts of preserving kunqu. In 2009\, the Cultural Ministry honored him as a distinguished researcher on kunqu theory and history. Professor Zhou has published Cunxin shuwu qupu (Annotated Anthology of Kunqu Aria from the Cunxin Studio)\, Suzhou kunqu (Kunqu in Suzhou)\, Kunxi jicun (A Collection of Preserved Kunqu Scripts)\, and Fengying wunong (Five Kunqu Scripts).

DESCRIPTION:The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season has produced incredibly destructive storms\, and has raised many questions. What drives a hurricane? How accurate are hurricane models? How do authorities prepare for hurricanes and\, when destructive events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma happen\, how do we respond? Is this hurricane season a fluke\, or should we start planning for more/similar storms? In this Teach-Out\, we will explore the science of hurricanes\, hurricane forecasting and monitoring\, and with what confidence can we attribute these storms to a warming ocean.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

In the marshaling of knowledge and expertise\, the greatest achievement of the University lies not in its continuity\, but in its ability to address the unforeseen. Drawing on the student work from the Taubman College Architecture Program\, “The Future Needs…Something Blue” addresses an idea of the future that lies not in the answers to questions we now know\, but in possibilities we are only now beginning to imagine. Sited at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning’s Liberty Research Annex\, the display is simultaneously shop window\, gallery\, and salon. Organized around a series of emergent themes it is an interactional space in which to view (in perspective\, parallax\, parallel\, and contrast) the multiple points of view that constitute the future.\n“The Future Needs…Something Blue” is curated by Associate Professor of Practice Julia McMorrough and Associate Professor John McMorrough of studioAPT (Architecture Practice Theory).\nOn Tuesday\, September 19 at 6:00pm there will be an opening reception at the Liberty Research Annex (305 W. Liberty St.\, Ann Arbor). Exhibition on view September 20 - October 29.

These plasmas are transient – the plasma is generated in times short compared to the equilibration of the plasma electron energy distribution. Transient plasmas substantially reduce ignition delay under a variety of engine and fuel/air conditions\, show promise for improving engine efficiency\, and efficiently reduce emissions from various sources. Results for studies of plasma enhancement of internal combustion and pulse detonation engines will be reviewed. Emissions remediation (e.g.\, NOx\, SOx\, and particulate reduction) have been obtained with ns plasmas\, and will also be reviewed. Transient plasmas for these applications typically require only small pulse energy (10 mJ to < 1 J) which significantly and beneficially affects energy efficiency. However\, they require fast rising rates (≤ns). The pulsed power technology used to generate these plasmas is therefore important and that technology will be reviewed.

Its America Eats project sought nothing less than to sample\, and report upon\, the tremendous range of foods eaten across the United States.\nDr. Camille Bégin shapes a cultural and sensory history of New Deal-era eating from the FWP archives\, describing in mouth-watering detail how Americans tasted their food. Bégin explores how likes and dislikes\, cravings and disgust operated within local sensory economies that she culls from the FWP's vivid descriptions\, visual cues\, culinary expectations\, recipes and accounts of restaurant meals. She also illustrates how nostalgia\, prescriptive gender ideals\, and racial stereotypes shaped how the FWP was able to frame regional food cultures as \"American.\" UID:42562-9611979@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Food,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery (Room 100) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170911T160924 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170920T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170920T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture | Armenian Riddles: Learning How to Read with Medieval Poetry DESCRIPTION:The 12th century catholicos Nerses Shnorhali faced a crisis: how would he address his flock\, seemingly scattered to the ends of the earth\, in an accessible and enticing language? And how would he combat popular forms of entertainment\, such as the \"useless\" songs and poetry that circulated in medieval Cilicia\, that had no didactic value at a time when he felt Christianity under siege from within and without? \n\nThis talk will examine the large body of riddles that Shnorhali composed in Middle Armenian\, which had only recently developed as a literary or poetic language. Although Shnorhali's poetic compositions in Classical Armenian depict an absolute opposition to the Islamicate world\, his riddles\, themselves riddled with Arabic and Persian loan words\, tell a more nuanced story. This story would have unfolded at wedding feasts and in wine taverns: boisterous affairs where riddle-reciters playfully teased\, corrected\, offered hints\, and guided their audience to seize upon a correct reading of ambiguous\, versified language. Such performances served as popular exercises in hermeneutics\, teaching an audience to extract hidden correspondences in the Book of the World. These riddles stand at the threshold of a broader sea-change in Armenian letters: a new poetics\, and a covert hermeneutics\, that would spread everywhere Armenians lived.\n\nMichael Pifer’s research and writing focus on the connective tissues that run through Armenian\, Persian\, and Turkish literary cultures\, particularly in medieval Anatolia\, but also beyond. He received his PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Michigan in 2014\, which awarded him the ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Award. His current book project\, tentatively titled \"Kindred Voices: A Literary History of Medieval Anatolia\, 1250-1350\,\" seeks to uncover shared cultures of poetic adaptation across Christian and Muslim communities in the pre-modern Mediterranean\, as well as to reexamine the manner in which we approach literary history today. This project was supported by a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2016-17.\n\nPhoto: Nerses Shnorhali instructing his student. Matenadaran\, Yerevan\, Ms. 7046.

This is evident in many condensed matter systems\, where the interplay of many degrees of freedom leads to the emergence of theoretically interesting and practically useful quantum phases such as superconductivity\, charge order\, and magnetism. Because of the absence of small parameters and the large number of degrees of freedom\, understanding these phases with traditional tools of many-body theory has proven to be challenging. This talk will show how numerical methods can be used to simulate strongly correlated quantum systems and explore the connections to simple analytical theories and experiment. In particular\, we will show quantitative simulations for lattice model systems and their comparison to ultracold atomic gas experiment\, and an analysis of the interplay between superconductivity and the so-called pseudogap phase in high-temperature superconducting materials.\n\n UID:42183-9584871@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42183 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171005T123029 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170920T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170920T173000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:EXCEL Talk: Christian Doyle & Maggie Ferguson-Wagstaffe DESCRIPTION:Join EXCEL for a discussion on independent film production with Christian Doyle & Maggie Ferguson-Wagstaffe.

The confidence sets are based on an initially selected model and two additional models which enlarge the initial model. We apply the procedure in two empirical examples: estimating heterogeneous treatment effects in a job training program and estimating profitability from an estimated mailing strategy in a marketing campaign. We also illustrate the procedure’s performance through simulation experiments.\n\nBIO: Christian B. Hansen studies applied and theoretical econometrics\, the uses of high-dimensional statistical methods in economic applications\, estimation of panel data models\, quantile regression\, and weak instruments. In 2008\, Hansen was named a Neubauer Family Faculty Fellow\, and he was named the Wallace W. Booth professorship in 2014. Hansen's recent research has focused on the uses of high-dimensional data and methods in economics applications. The papers “Sparse Models and Methods for Optimal Instruments with an Application to Eminent Domain” with A. Belloni\, D. Chen\, and V. Chernzhukov (Econometrica\, 2012) and “Inference on Treatment Effects after Selection amongst High-Dimensional Controls” with A. Belloni and V. Chernozhukov (Review of Economic Studies\, 2014) present approaches to estimating structural or treatment effects from economic data in canonical instrumental variables and treatment effects models. These papers are extended in “Valid Post-Selection and Post-Regularization Inference: An Elementary\, General Approach” with V. Chernozhukov and M. Spindler (Annual Review of Economics\, 2015) and the forthcoming papers “Inference in High Dimensional Panel Models with an Application to Gun Control” with A. Belloni\, V. Chernozhukov\, and D. Kozbur (Journal of Business and Economic Statistics) and “Program Evaluation with High-Dimensional Data” with A. Belloni\, V. Chernozhukov\, and I. Fernández-Val (Econometrica). \n\nHansen has published articles regarding identification and estimation in panel data models\, inference with data that may be spatially and temporally dependent\, quantile regression\, and instrumental variables models with weak or many instruments. His published work has appeared in several journals including Econometrica\, the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics\, the Journal of Econometrics\, and the Review of Economics and Statistics. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor's degree in economics in 2000. In 2004\, he received a PhD in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, where he was a graduate research fellow of the National Science Foundation. He joined the Chicago Booth faculty in 2004.

In areas with higher levels of these local ties\, migration is less responsive to changes in local labor demand. Across a wide class of models of spatial equilibrium\, lower migration elasticities make subsidies to local areas more efficient\, since they change fewer people's locations. These two facts suggest that subsidies to areas with a declining populations are more efficient than subsidies to other areas. A parametric model illustrates how local ties develop in areas with declining populations\, and provides a mechanism that reallocates people's local ties to reflect changing economic geography. Areas with declining population house mostly people who were born locally\, since these people are willing to endure the lower wages\, lower amenities\, and higher rents that go along with a declining population. People outside are reluctant to move in after small changes in wages\, since real wages are well below national averages. The process of reallocating local ties takes several generations\, depending on the size of a shock.\n\nLink to the paper:\nhttp://mikezabek.com/pdf/LocalTies.pdf\n\nWe hope to see you there!

This is focusing welcome attention on CS curriculum design: what do we teach\, and to whom. The first response to “rising-tide” demand is to go “deep”: more majors\, courses\, more classroom seats\, etc. I will argue this is necessary\, but not sufficient. Many students need a solid base of computing+data to address challenges in social science\, humanities\, policy\, business\, and the like. But they do not aspire to be computer (or even data) scientists. We need a systematic middle way to take CS “wide” into these diverse disciplines. The University of Illinois CS+X program is a portfolio of novel B.S. degrees\, launched in 2014\, architected as (Half-CS + Half-X)\, delivered as a degree in the Dept. of X. Several degrees are now on offer\, ranging from CS+Anthropology to CS+Astronomy. The program has surprising traction – for example\, one quarter of our Astronomy Dept. is now CS+X\, and a dozen more +X degrees are in various stages of design/approval. I’ll talk about how we built the Illinois CS+X program\, and where it’s going next. I’ll also briefly summarize a related initiative\, the Illinois CS Data Science MS degree\, now being delivered on the Coursera MOOC platform.

DESCRIPTION:The LSA Honor Council is an undergraduate student organization dedicated to developing initiatives that aid in the promotion of respect\, integrity\, and personal responsibility. We also attend meetings hosted by the Office of Student Academic Affairs for students accused of academic misconduct.   In our recruitment efforts\, we prioritize the importance of forming a council composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. This spectrum of varied perspectives enables our council to more effectively address issues of integrity on our campus. This upcoming year\, we are recruiting a group of motivated and dedicated LSA students who are interested in working closely with the deans\, faculty\, and fellow students to promote a campus culture that values integrity. This past year\, we have accomplished this goal by hosting faculty department presentations\, tabling events\, and discussions of current ethical issues. Most recently\, we hosted Dr. Victor Strecher from the School of Public Health to present a talk on “Designing a Happy Life.” Given the breadth of our activities\, it is crucial that we incorporate students with diverse skill sets to maximize our council’s potential. We hope that you will join us next fall! Link to application: http://lsastudenthc.weebly.com/become-a-member.html UID:42259-10129577@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170921T140458 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170921T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170921T210000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Apple Week at South Quad DESCRIPTION:Come to South Quad Dining Hall the week of September 18th and enjoy apple inspired dishes!

In November 2016\, following a trip to Mexico\, birds unexpectedly started migrating to her canvases and an entirely new body of work began to take shape. The current exhibit\, Flights of Fancy\, features birds in colorful\, light-filled works. The birds represent the lightness she associates with qualities of joy\, hope\, healing and inspiration she sees as a source of personal well-being.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696864@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170726T152806 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170921T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170921T210000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michigan Past & Present DESCRIPTION:Profiles of U-M’s first six students\, and the two faculty who taught them\, and how they compare to the university of 2017.

After disposing (selling\, recycling\, giving away) of everything that no longer served to enrich her life\, Schlesinger decided to merge this exercise with her art practice and depicted all of her remaining possessions in small oil paintings\, 380 in total. The paintings depict objects of functionality and ones of beauty\, eliciting contemplation and conversation about the ‘stuff’ we choose to live with.

While Ann Arbor may seem far removed from Detroit\, the themes of 1967—housing segregation\, media bias\, student activism\, and police violence—resonated here as well. \n\nThis exhibit\, on display in the Hatcher Graduate Library North lobby through September 15\, 2017\, highlights the extensive archival resources of the Bentley Historical Library and the U-M Library’s Labadie Collection. These materials place the rebellion in the context of 1960s activism against racism and inequality in Detroit and Ann Arbor\, and illustrate the significance and range of press coverage.

Inspired by the academic classifications invented by 19th-century Michigan Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward\, this new\, architecturally scaled installation serves as an archive of the original\, and presents a single room with thirteen plastic sculptures\, each representing one of Woodward’s professorships. As viewers peer into the space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge\, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it.\n\nAbout the artist: Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history\, knowledge\, and the natural world. “The job of the artist\,” he says\, “is to go against the grain of dominant culture\, to challenge perception and convention.” Appropriating archaeological\, field ecology\, and other scientific methods of collecting\, ordering\, and exhibiting objects\, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society\, tracking how pseudo-science\, social agendas\, and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York UID:42127-9560412@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42127 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Bicentennial,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593329@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170510T144424 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170921T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170921T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled Cosmogonic Tattoos\, his project will use adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity. \n\nLook for displays in the UMMA from April 22-Dec. 3\, the exterior of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Dec. 17\, and in the interior special exhibition space of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Sept. 10.\n\nFor information on-the-go about this event and all other Bicentennial happenings\, download our free mobile app: http://guidebook.com/g/umich200.

Born in India and educated in the U.S.\, Correa earned a B. Arch. at the University of Michigan in 1953 and went on to receive his M.Arch. at MIT.\nOver a prolific career spanning six decades\, Charles Correa’s architecture\, urban design\, planning\, and writings inspired generations\, adapting the international language of modernism to the Indian context.. This exhibition\, organized by Nondita Correa Mehrotra\, the director of the Charles Correa Foundation\, explores the breadth of his built work\, through highlighting thirteen selected projects. Professor Craig Borum designed the exhibition. The exhibition accompanies the inaugural Charles Correa International Lecture\, an annual lecture by an emerging architect engaged with global architecture and activism.

In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Through visualization\, we build narratives that enable us to reframe the world and our experience of it in carefully crafted slices of space and time. But as both practitioners and consumers of visualization\, we sometimes forget that visualization can tell us more about ourselves than it can about the world alone. In this talk\, by way of examples of recent personal works in visualization\, I reclaim an understanding of information visualization as a medium for constructing narratives about self\, other\, and the space between them. \n \nSteven Braun is the Data Analytics and Visualization Specialist in the Northeastern University Libraries.

DESCRIPTION:The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season has produced incredibly destructive storms\, and has raised many questions. What drives a hurricane? How accurate are hurricane models? How do authorities prepare for hurricanes and\, when destructive events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma happen\, how do we respond? Is this hurricane season a fluke\, or should we start planning for more/similar storms? In this Teach-Out\, we will explore the science of hurricanes\, hurricane forecasting and monitoring\, and with what confidence can we attribute these storms to a warming ocean.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

We derive non-asymptotic concentration bounds for the regularized M-estimator. Our results exhibit a variance-bias trade-off\, with the variance term being governed by a novel measure of the complexity of the parameter set. We also show that the mixing structure affect the variance term by scaling the number of observations\; depending on the decay rate of the mixing coefficients\, this scaling can even affect the asymptotic behavior. Finally\, we propose a data-driven method for choosing the tuning parameters of the regularized estimator which yield the same (up to constants) concentration bound as one that optimally balances the (squared) bias and variance terms. We illustrate the results with several canonical examples.

In the marshaling of knowledge and expertise\, the greatest achievement of the University lies not in its continuity\, but in its ability to address the unforeseen. Drawing on the student work from the Taubman College Architecture Program\, “The Future Needs…Something Blue” addresses an idea of the future that lies not in the answers to questions we now know\, but in possibilities we are only now beginning to imagine. Sited at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning’s Liberty Research Annex\, the display is simultaneously shop window\, gallery\, and salon. Organized around a series of emergent themes it is an interactional space in which to view (in perspective\, parallax\, parallel\, and contrast) the multiple points of view that constitute the future.\n“The Future Needs…Something Blue” is curated by Associate Professor of Practice Julia McMorrough and Associate Professor John McMorrough of studioAPT (Architecture Practice Theory).\nOn Tuesday\, September 19 at 6:00pm there will be an opening reception at the Liberty Research Annex (305 W. Liberty St.\, Ann Arbor). Exhibition on view September 20 - October 29.

Innovative leaps require advanced analysis tools that allow studying unconventional operating regimes at high frequencies and angles of attack\, hence\, exploiting unsteady aerodynamic phenomena and nonlinear flight dynamics\, rather than obviating them\, for the creation of novel efficient designs.\n\nThis talk serves as an initiator for new research ideas and development of advanced analysis tools rather than stating research outcomes. In this talk\, I will discuss three main topics. First\, I will discuss formulating airplane flight mechanics in a differential geometric control framework that results in recovery of nonlinear controllability when linear controllability is lost due to hydraulic loss of control surfaces. Moreover\, based on this formulation\, I will show a novel rolling mechanism\, due to nonlinear interactions between elevator and aileron\, which has a significantly higher control authority near stall than the conventional linear rolling mechanism due to ailerons. Second\, I will discuss the meager state of flutter predictability and its root cause\, stemming from a fundamental flaw in the classical theory of unsteady aerodynamics\; namely the unsteady Kutta condition. I will show our recent development of a viscous extension to the classical theory that does not invoke an auxiliary condition (e.g.\, Kutta condition). Driven by such a motivation\, I will discuss our nascent idea of developing a variational theory for unsteady aerodynamics\; novel framework for modeling of unsteady aerodynamics after following Prandtl’s formulation for a century. Finally\, in the light of these analysis tools\, I will talk about a new airplane concept that exploits unsteady aerodynamic phenomena near stall for propulsion by flapping its tails: The Flapping Tail Concept Airplane (FTCA). This concept is expected to provide 25% saving in fuel consumptions\, if the associated technical challenges are successfully overcome. I will also discuss how the geometric control theory can help in this regard.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nHaithem Taha is currently an assistant professor in the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California\, Irvine.

Using an experimental design\, we examine how alleviating one such market failure--access to finance--affects school profitability\, enrollment and test scores. Specifically\, we randomly assigned 851 private schools across 266 villages in rural Pakistan to one of two types of financial treatments: (i) `High Intensity'\, where all private schools in the village received an unconditional grant of \$500 each and (ii) `Low' intensity where one private schools is randomly chosen to receive the grant. In the low intensity treatment\, revenues increased substantially due to higher enrollments\, but there was no increase in test scores or fees. In the high intensity treatment\, revenues increased both due to greater enrollment and increased fees that accompanied higher test scores. While the returns exceeded market interest rates in both cases\, because higher quality was obtained through greater remuneration for teachers--a variable\, rather than a fixed cost--the private returns were lower in the high intensity arm.

A member of the Democratic party leadership\, Lewis has served as Senior Chief Deputy Whip since 2003. Born the son of Alabama sharecroppers\, Lewis’s childhood was filled with deeply inspirational moments\, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the words of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. heard on radio broadcasts. As a college student\, Lewis’s inspiration fueled his commitment to end legalized racial segregation\; he was chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and was one of the “Big Six” leaders of groups who organized the 1963 March on Washington. His dedication to the highest ethical standards and moral principles has won Lewis the admiration of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle in the United States Congress. Lewis has dedicated his life to protecting human rights\, securing civil liberties\, and building what he calls “The Beloved Community” in America. Lewis co-wrote his story with his then-Congressional Aid\, now Digital Director and Policy Advisor\, Andrew Aydin\, in the form of the graphic novel trilogy\, MARCH (2013).

As a college student\, Lewis’s inspiration fueled his commitment to end legalized racial segregation\; he was chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and was one of the “Big Six” leaders of groups who organized the 1963 March on Washington. His dedication to the highest ethical standards and moral principles has won Lewis the admiration of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle in the United States Congress. Lewis has dedicated his life to protecting human rights\, securing civil liberties\, and building what he calls “The Beloved Community” in America. Lewis co-wrote his story with his then-Congressional Aid\, now Digital Director and Policy Advisor\, Andrew Aydin\, in the form of the graphic novel trilogy\, MARCH (2013). The collaborative work is illustrated by New York Times best-selling graphic novelist Nate Powell.\n\nIn partnership with the International Institute’s Conflict and Peace Initiative and the King-Chavez-Parks Visiting Professorship Program.

The film chronicles the journey of civil rights hero\, congressman\, and human rights champion John Lewis and is presented in partnership with Detroit Public Television (DPTV).\n\nThis screening of Get in the Way replaces the previously scheduled speaker series talk by Congressman John Lewis\, Andrew Aydin\, and Nate Powell on the collaborative co-authoring of MARCH\, a graphic novel trilogy about the congressmen’s life and activism. The talk was postponed due to an emergency meeting called by the Congressional Black Caucus in the nation’s capitol\, and will now take place on November 27\, 2017 at 7 pm in Hill Auditorium: http://stamps.umich.edu/stamps/detail/john-lewis\n\nPlease visit the Conflict and Peace Initiative’s Marching Forward website (https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/marchingforward/) for information on additional events with MARCH illustrator Nate Powell. \n\nAbout Get in the Way\n\nThrough never-before-seen interviews shot over 20 years\, Lewis\, a masterful storyteller\, tells the gripping tale of his role in these history-making events. Other key interviewees include civil rights activists Andrew Young\, C.T. Vivian\, Juanita Abernathy\, and Bernard Lafayette\, plus Lewis’ congressional colleagues Eleanor Holmes Norton\, Nancy Pelosi\, Harry Reid\, Emanuel Cleaver\, and Amory Houghton.\n\nOnce an activist pushing from the outside\, Lewis\, now 76 years old\, has become a determined legislator making noise on the inside. Considered by many to be the conscience of Congress\, with equal measures of modesty and forcefulness\, Lewis strives to persuade D.C. power brokers to hear the voices of the unheard. He fights for those suffering from discrimination\, poverty\, poor education\, police brutality\, inaccessible healthcare and limitations on voter rights. Despite setbacks – and there have been many – John Lewis’ eyes remain on the prize.\n\nAll Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series presentations are free and open to the public\; visit http://stamps.umich.edu/stamps to view upcoming events.
