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:42259-10129587@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:20171001T180037 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171001T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171001T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Susan Rogers '75 Memorial Regatta DESCRIPTION: UID:43172-10144373@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43172 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Cornell University, Ithaca, NY CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171001T180037 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171001T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171001T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Tournament at Purdue DESCRIPTION:Taking the team to play some B10 games in West Lafayette\, IN UID:44645-10144361@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44645 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Morgan J.

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:43032-9696874@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:20171001T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171001T210000 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.

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.

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:42280-9593339@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:20171001T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171001T170000 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.

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.

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.

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.

Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life\, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental\, accepting\, even curious\, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude\, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.\n\nKoru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill\, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks\, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!\n\nRegister today before the seats are filled! \n\nFor any questions\, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.

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.

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:43032-9696875@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:20171002T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171002T210000 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.

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:42127-9560423@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:42280-9593340@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:20171002T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171002T170000 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.

The symposium will address how different premodern cultures sought to understand the makings of species\, kinds\, and other divisions between beings and/or things. By historicizing the materialization of non/human bodies\, documenting the many and various strategies by which they have emerged and been constituted\, and tracing the broader cultural impacts of their emergence and constitution\, these panels will challenge the U-M community to re-imagine the materials and effects of non/humanity.\n\nMonday\, October 2\, 2017\n\n9-9:30 am: Welcome and Introductions\n\n9:30-10:50 am: Flesh & Stone\nMiranda Brown (University of Michigan): The Jade Body\nRick Bonnie (Frankel Center\, University of Helsinki): Pure Stale Water: Experiencing Ancient Jewish Ritual Bathing\nErin Brightwell (University of Michigan): response\n\n11:10 am-12:30 pm: Messmates\nMira Balberg (Northwestern University): The Human and Its Double: Snakes\, Humans\, and Dogs in the Palestinian Talmud\nJames McHugh (University of Southern California): Spirits of Liquor and Consciousness as Alcohol in Early Indian Thought\nIan Moyer (University of Michigan): response\n\n2-3:20 pm: Humanimal\nPeggy McCracken (University of Michigan): The Material of Metamorphosis\,\nSonya Özbey (University of Michigan): “Those that Have Blood and Qi”: The Psychophysical Continuum of Humanity and Animality in the Xunzi\nMelanie Yergeau (University of Michigan): response\n\n3:40-5 pm: Malleable Matter\nAileen Das (University of Michigan): An Alchemical Cosmos: Material Fluidity and Transmutation in the Iḫwān al-Ṣafāʾ\nRachel Neis (University of Michigan): Flesh\, Food\, or Family?

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.

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.

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.

Non-Violent Activism in Gaza DESCRIPTION:Non-violent\, anti-occupation activist movements in the West Bank-- particularly in the village of Bil'in-- have attracted global media attention and even won victories in the Israeli courts. Yet similar movements in Gaza have received scant media coverage and failed to gain traction among Gaza civilians. This colloquium talk by former Israel/Palestine journalist Ashley Bates will argue that Gaza's extreme isolation\, combined with the lethal force that is regularly used by the IDF against unarmed demonstrators\, has severely limited the possibilities for Palestinian civilian activists challenging Israel's land and sea blockade of Gaza. \n \nAshley Bates\, project coordinator at the International Institute's Conflict and Peace Initiative\, previously worked as an independent journalist in Gaza\, the West Bank\, Israel\, and the United States. She also worked for eight years as the Program Director\, and then Executive Director\, of an Israeli-Palestinian dialogue program called Hands of Peace. Ashley lived in Gaza for six months in 2010\, where she covered a grassroots\, non-violent activist movement that expanded rapidly following Israel's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla. The movement subsequently fizzled\, and multiple activists were killed. Ashley's articles have been published in the Nation\, Ha’aretz\, Mother Jones\, Global Post\, the East Bay Express\, Jerusalem Post Magazine\, and the Columbia Journalism Review. Her 2010 blog\, Dispatches from Gaza\, recounts her experiences working as a journalist in Gaza.

Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy\, yet many people find it harder to differentiate good journalism from propaganda. Increasingly\, inaccurate information is shared on Facebook and echoed by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This becomes more problematic because people have a tendency to accept agreeable messages over challenging claims\, even if the former are less objectively credible. In this teach-out\, we examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories\, and that lead people to believe those stories. We then provide a series of tools that ordinary citizens can use to tell fact from fiction.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\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.

The RAA refers to the deficit of electron antineutrinos detected by reactor neutrino experiments compared with the number of electron antineutrinos predicted by state of the art reactor models. The Daya Bay experiment has utilized eight functionally identical underground detectors to sample reactor antineutrino fluxes from three pairs of nuclear reactors in South China\, accruing the largest reactor antineutrino sample to date. This talk will summarize Daya Bay's most recent result\, which presents observations of correlations between reactor core fuel evolution and changes in the detected reactor antineutrino flux and energy spectrum. A 10σ variation in IBD yield was found to be energy-dependent\, rejecting the hypothesis of a constant antineutrino energy spectrum at 5.1 standard deviations. While measurements of the linear variation with respect to the fuel content in the IBD spectrum show general agreement with predictions from recent reactor models\, the measured linear variation with respect to the fuel content in the total IBD yield disagrees with recent predictions. This discrepancy indicates that an overall deficit in measured flux with respect to predictions does not result from equal fractional deficits from the primary fission isotopes 235U\, 239Pu\, 238U\, and 241Pu. A 7.8% discrepancy between the observed and predicted 235U yield suggests that this isotope may be the primary contributor to the reactor antineutrino anomaly. \n UID:42185-9584873@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42185 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170828T125707 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171002T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171002T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Pre-Med Roundup DESCRIPTION:Are you considering a career in medicine or in another health care profession?

Representations as Material Forms: Developing a Materialist Perspective on Digital Information DESCRIPTION:The dominant rhetoric of information technology is that of the virtual and immaterial. STS scholars might observe (and computer scientists admit) that these virtual worlds\, virtual objects\, and virtual experiences are built on a solidly material foundation\, such as server farms\, cable routes\, power generators and air conditioning units. Notwithstanding the materiality of digital infrastructures\, though\, materialist accounts have generally had little purchase on the content of the digital. In this talk\, I will show how we can build on STS and software studies to offer a materialist account of information representations\, drawing attention to the constraints and consequences of representational strategies in databases\, network protocols\, and other digital forms.

Featuring cello major Kayla Mathes\, who will perform a piece she has written on climate change\; poet Sandra Steingraber\; and Sara Adlerstein-Gonzalez\, who will formally open an art exhibit she’s curated on climate change.\n\nSara Adlerstein-Gonzalez\, PhD\, has been a research faculty member at the School for Environment and Sustainability the University of Michigan for fourteen years. Her research program is centered on Great Lakes applied aquatic ecology\, with emphasis on population assessments and ecosystem dynamics. She has authored over 50 peer review publications in scientific journals. Dr. Adlerstein is also a visual artist and she is involved with numerous projects bridging the arts and environmental sciences with particular focus on the role of art in conservation. One of her contributions to art and conservation is the creation of the Art & Environment Gallery in SEAS\, where she is director and curator. Dr. Adlerstein is an artist member of the WSG gallery in Ann Arbor and her work is part of public and private collections in countries around the world. Her artwork is featured in Poemas de las Madres (Eastern Washington University Press\, 1996).\n\nKayla Mathes is currently an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan pursuing a double degree in cello performance and environmental science. She was born and raised in Albuquerque\, New Mexico\, and came to Michigan specifically for the music program in pursuit of becoming a professional musician. Half way through her college career\, she discovered a new passion for ecology and environmental sciences which has since taken her down a very different path. She now hopes to pursue a career as a forest ecology researcher and teacher.\n\nBiologist\, author\, and cancer survivor\, Sandra Steingraber\, PhD\, writes about climate change\, ecology\, and the links between human health and the environment. Steingraber’s highly acclaimed book\, Living Downstream: An Ecologist’s Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment\, was the first to bring together data on toxic releases with data from US cancer registries and was adapted for the screen in 2010. As both book and documentary film\, Living Downstream has won praise from international media.

As the capabilities of the automation advances\, there is an increasing possibility that it might function actively to perceive and analyze information\, make decisions\, and execute actions. Ideally\, with the assistance of automation\, task performance of a human should increase. Unfortunately\, performance gains are not always achieved\, one of the reasons being the human’s inappropriate trust in and dependence on automated technologies. In this seminar\, I will present one study I involved in to examine nurses' trust in and dependence on a robotic decision support on the lab floor.\n\nDr. Yang joined the department of IOE at the University of Michigan in 2016 and direct the interaction and collaboration research lab. Prior to that\, She was a postdoc at the computer science and artificial intelligence lab of MIT. She obtained her Ph.D. in Human Factors Engineering in 2014 from Nanyang Technological University Singapore. Her research interests include human-robot interaction and human factors in healthcare.

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:43032-9696876@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:20171003T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171003T210000 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:42127-9560424@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42127 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Bicentennial,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Through a series of short papers\, responses from colleagues\, and larger discussion\, the symposium will provide a forum for thinking cross-disciplinarily and across traditional lines of periodization. The symposium will address how different premodern cultures sought to understand the makings of species\, kinds\, and other divisions between beings and/or things. By historicizing the materialization of non/human bodies\, documenting the many and various strategies by which they have emerged and been constituted\, and tracing the broader cultural impacts of their emergence and constitution\, these panels will challenge the U-M community to re-imagine the materials and effects of non/humanity.\n\nMonday\, October 2\, 2017\n\n9-9:30 am: Welcome and Introductions\n\n9:30-10:50 am: Flesh & Stone\nMiranda Brown (University of Michigan): The Jade Body\nRick Bonnie (Frankel Center\, University of Helsinki): Pure Stale Water: Experiencing Ancient Jewish Ritual Bathing\nErin Brightwell (University of Michigan): response\n\n11:10 am-12:30 pm: Messmates\nMira Balberg (Northwestern University): The Human and Its Double: Snakes\, Humans\, and Dogs in the Palestinian Talmud\nJames McHugh (University of Southern California): Spirits of Liquor and Consciousness as Alcohol in Early Indian Thought\nIan Moyer (University of Michigan): response\n\n2-3:20 pm: Humanimal\nPeggy McCracken (University of Michigan): The Material of Metamorphosis\,\nSonya Özbey (University of Michigan): “Those that Have Blood and Qi”: The Psychophysical Continuum of Humanity and Animality in the Xunzi\nMelanie Yergeau (University of Michigan): response\n\n3:40-5 pm: Malleable Matter\nAileen Das (University of Michigan): An Alchemical Cosmos: Material Fluidity and Transmutation in the Iḫwān al-Ṣafāʾ\nRachel Neis (University of Michigan): Flesh\, Food\, or Family?

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:42280-9593341@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:20171003T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171003T170000 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.

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.

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.

We find that firms are less likely to choose a politically connected location that also faces higher unemployment rates. We also find that political connections matter less for the choice of locations with more developed markets. Therefore\, firms’ use of political connections is strategic and highly context dependent. \n \nDr. Nan Jia is an assistant professor of strategic management at the Marshall School of Business\, University of Southern California.

Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy\, yet many people find it harder to differentiate good journalism from propaganda. Increasingly\, inaccurate information is shared on Facebook and echoed by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This becomes more problematic because people have a tendency to accept agreeable messages over challenging claims\, even if the former are less objectively credible. In this teach-out\, we examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories\, and that lead people to believe those stories. We then provide a series of tools that ordinary citizens can use to tell fact from fiction.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\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.

Focusing on indigenous populations from Africa has the potential to reveal past demographic events and to provide insights into human adaptation and disease susceptibility in Africans and populations of African descent. My talk will explore the genetic variation of Northeast African populations and recent findings from genome-wide analysis of the Dogon populations from West Africa. These findings shed light on the coevolution of languages and genes and highlight the importance of interdisciplinary research in decoding unanswered questions in the human history.

From its vantage point at 36 km above the ground\, it observed 12% of the sky over 16 days at 94 and 150 GHz. I will discuss the design of SPIDER\, including our reasons for choosing the ballooning platform. I will also describe some of the subsystems and how they performed during flight. Then I will show preliminary results from the ongoing data analysis. Finally\, I will give an update on SPIDER 2\, which will add focal planes at 280 GHz to improve our sensitivity to Galactic dust\, and is expected to fly in December of 2018.

CheMin was first to establish the quantitative mineralogy of the Mars global soil. The instrument was next used to determine the mineralogy of a 3.7 billion year old lacustrine mudstone\, a result that\, together with findings from other instruments on the MSL Curiosity rover\, documented the first habitable environment found on another planet. The mineralogy of this mudstone from an ancient playa lake was also used to derive the maximum concentration of CO2 in the early Mars atmosphere\, a surprisingly low value that calls into question the current theory that CO2 greenhouse warming was responsible for the warm and wet environment of early Mars. CheMin identified the mineral tridymite\, indicative of silica-rich volcanism\, in mudstones of the Murray formation on Mt. Sharp. This discovery challenges the paradigm of Mars as a basaltic planet and ushers in a new chapter of comparative terrestrial planetology. CheMin is now being used to systematically sample the sedimentary layers that comprise the lower strata of Mt. Sharp\, a 5\,000 meter high mound of sediments laid down in what was once a crater lake\, characterizing isochemical sediments that through their changing mineralogy\, document the oxidation and drying out of Mars in early Hesperian time. CheMin’s design and development\, from an initial concept in 1991 to acceptance for flight in 2004 will also be described.

Strong competition between spin-orbit\, on-site Coulomb and crystalline electric field interactions in iridates drives exotic quantum states that are unique to this group of materials. In this talk\, we briefly review current experimental studies of iridates\, and then present results of our recent study on electrical-current controlled behavior in iridates. Electrical control of structural and physical properties is a long-sought\, but elusive goal of contemporary science and technology. We demonstrate that a combination of strong spin-orbit interactions (SOI) and a canted antiferromagnetic (AFM) Mott state is sufficient to attain that goal. The AFM insulator Sr_2IrO_4 provides a model system in which strong SOI lock canted Ir magnetic moments to IrO_6-octahedra\, causing them to rigidly rotate together. A novel coupling between an applied electrical current and the canting angle reduces the Néel temperature and drives a large\, non-linear lattice expansion that closely tracks the magnetization\, increases the electron mobility\, and precipitates a unique resistive switching effect. These observations open new avenues for understanding fundamental physics driven by strong SOI in condensed matter\, and provide a new paradigm for functional materials and devices. \n\n\n UID:42186-9584874@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42186 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171122T141935 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171003T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171003T170000 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?

A broad spectrum of Ca2+ signals are encoded by protein calmodulin (CaM) through specific binding with various targets regulating CaM-dependent Ca2+ signaling pathways in neurons. I will focus on binding between CaM and two specific targets\, Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and neurogranin (Ng)\, as they antagonistically regulate CaM-dependent Ca2+ signaling pathways in neurons. I will show the impact of bound calmodulin (CaM)-target compound structure on the affinity of calcium (Ca2+) by integrating coarse-grained models and all-atomistic simulations with non-equilibrium physics. We discovered the molecular underpinnings of lowered affinity of Ca2+ for CaM in the presence of Ng by showing that the N-terminal acidic region of Ng peptide pries open the β-sheet structure between the Ca2+ binding loops particularly at C-domain of CaM\, enabling Ca2+ release. In contrast\, CaMKII peptide increases Ca2+ affinity for the C-domain of CaM by stabilizing the two Ca2+ binding loops. Through distinctive structural differences in the bound complexes of apoCaM-Ng13-49 and holoCaM-CaMKII\, CaM’s affinity for Ca2+ is delineated by its progressive mechanism of target binding. I will discuss them in the context of evolution and in the crowded environment.\n\nBio: Margaret Cheung is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Houston.

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.\n\nPhoto by Kat Schleicher/Alverno Presents UID:41898-9489340@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/41898 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Social LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171018T123014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171003T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171003T193000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Flow Traders Trading Challenge 2017 DESCRIPTION:Founded in 2004\, Flow Traders is a leading\, technology-enabled liquidity provider operating on a global scale that specializes in providing liquidity in ETPs\, with operating offices in Amsterdam\, Singapore\, New York\, and soon to be Hong Kong.

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:43032-9696877@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:20171004T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171004T210000 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:42127-9560425@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:42280-9593342@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:20171004T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171004T170000 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.

First\, Scott Allard will give a talk about the rise of suburban poverty. Then\, there will be a Poverty Simulation open to all U of M students. The goal of the Poverty Simulation is to begin to understand what it might be like for a typical low-income family to survive from month to month. The simulation framework was carefully developed by the Missouri Community Action Network\, a nationally recognized community-based organization with expertise developing experiential learning models on poverty-related issues.\n\nYou may register for either of the two events separately\, or choose to attend both. Note that Dr. Allard's keynote is open to anyone\, while the Poverty Simulation is open only to U-M students of all levels. Please see the Poverty Simulation Registration page for more details on the specifics of that event. \n\nWhile this exercise does not fully reflect what it is like to live in poverty\, it is designed to give participants specific realistic challenges associated with feeding your family\, paying your bills\, finding employment\, and navigating many more challenges. The goal is to have students reflect and learn ways to take action\, promote justice\, and be an ally to those living in a real state of poverty. Want to know more?

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.

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.

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.

Against the backdrop of worldwide interest in carbon pricing as a way to meet commitments made in Paris\, and in the context of a Trump presidency\, this talk examines the history\, origins and prospects of carbon pricing in Canada. The talk will focus on recent efforts at developing a national carbon price framework at the federal level\, the challenges now facing the current federal government as it moves toward implementation\, and the prospects for carbon pricing in the future. Specific attention will be paid to the role of recalcitrant provinces\, a divided public\, and the influence of political developments in the United States. The talk will also explore key controversies over carbon pricing\, and highlight potential lessons from the Canadian experience.\n\nErick Lachapelle is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the Université de Montréal where he teaches courses on international environmental politics\, comparative public policy and research methods. He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Toronto where he completed his dissertation entitled\, Energy Security and Climate Change Policy in the OECD: The Political Economy of Carbon Energy Taxation. Author of two dozen peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters\, Erick is the lead researcher for the Canadian Surveys on Energy and the Environment\, and is also a Research Partner with EcoAnalytics.

The Singing Turk: Ottoman Power and Operatic Emotions on the European Stage from the Siege of Vienna to the Age of Napoleon DESCRIPTION:This lecture will consider the huge cultural phenomenon of operas about Turks that played out across the stages of Europe from the 1680s to the 1820s. Though the best-known of these operas\, Mozart's \"Abduction from the Seraglio\,\" is still widely performed\, most of these operas about Turks are unknown today. They include operas by such important composers as Handel\, Rameau\, Gluck\, Haydn\, Mozart\, and Rossini\, as well as many others. The lecture will try to understand this cultural phenomenon in the geopolitical context of European-Ottoman relations and the intellectual context of the Enlightenment\, will address the significance of such operas for Christian-Muslim relations in European history\, and will also consider why these operas featuring singing Turks disappeared from the repertory over the course of the 19th century. \n \nLarry Wolff is the Julius Silver Professor of History\, director of the Center for European and Mediterranean Studies\, and executive director of the Remarque Institute at New York University. His research has focused on the relation between Eastern Europe and Western Europe\, especially pursuing the argument that Eastern Europe was \"invented\" in the 18th century by the philosophers and travelers of the Enlightenment. His latest book is \"The Singing Turk: Ottoman Power and Operatic Emotions on the European Stage from the Siege of Vienna to the Age of Napoleon\" (Stanford 2016). He is also the author of \"Paolina’s Innocence: Child Abuse in Casanova’s Venice\" (2012)\, \"The Idea of Galicia: History and Fantasy in Habsburg Political Culture\" (2010)\, \"Venice and the

First\, we note that the product length of an operator is directly related to its sensitivity to small perturbations. This reveals that in the SYK model\, the commutator-squared/out-of-time-ordered correlator - a new diagnostic of quantum chaos - is literally measuring the effective length of the operator. It is known that this quantity grows exponentially in time with a \"Lyapunov exponent\"\, and thus we conclude that lengths of operators grows exponentially in time (amongst the internal degrees of freedom). Motivated by this\, we group the operators into families defined by their lengths\, thereby explicitly solving for the coarse-grained dynamics of an operator in the large N\, large q limit. We also note that one can understand the time evolution of operators by relating it to the quantum mechanics of a particle on a graph with a nontrivial topology. Lastly\, we may make some comments on the bulk interpretation of operator growth in SYK.

Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy\, yet many people find it harder to differentiate good journalism from propaganda. Increasingly\, inaccurate information is shared on Facebook and echoed by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This becomes more problematic because people have a tendency to accept agreeable messages over challenging claims\, even if the former are less objectively credible. In this teach-out\, we examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories\, and that lead people to believe those stories. We then provide a series of tools that ordinary citizens can use to tell fact from fiction.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\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.

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.

Dr. Wynshaw Boris is a world expert on the study of neurogenetic disease. His talk is entitled “Modeling Human Neurogenetic Diseases in Mice and Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.\"\n\nDr. Wynshaw-Boris received his MD and PhD degrees from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland\, OH. Under the direction of Dr. Richard Hanson\, his thesis research elucidated the mechanism of transcriptional regulation of the key enzyme in gluconeogenesis\, PEPCK. Following a residency in Pediatrics at Cleveland’s Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital\, he obtained a medical genetics fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital and postdoctoral training in mouse models of developmental disorders at Harvard Medical School under the direction of Dr. Philip Leder. As an independent investigator Dr. Wynshaw-Boris has held positions at the National Human Genome Research Institute\, University of California San Diego\, and University of California San Francisco\, before returning to Case to become the Chair of the Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences in 2013.\n\nHis research is focused on understanding genetic and biochemical pathways important for the development and function of the mammalian central nervous system. He uses genetically engineered mice and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to define pathways disrupted in neurologic diseases. He has made important contributions to understanding the genetics and pathophysiology of autism\, brain overgrowth and microcephaly\, and neurodegeneration caused by mutations in DNA repair and checkpoint genes. He has served as Executive Editor of the journal Human Molecular Genetics since 2005\, and together with Charles Epstein and Robert Erickson\, he co-authored a comprehensive book “Inborn Errors of Development” which is now in its third edition.\n\nThe program will begin at 2:00 with 20-minute talks by three senior Genetics Training Program trainees (Irene Park\, Marcella Nidiffer\, and John McCrone).

Highly-automated modern aerospace systems employ flight deck automation to increase the efficiency and safety of systems while reducing operator workload. However\, there is little knowledge about how operators react to control mode transitions in which they take over control from the automation\, particularly the reversion from autopilot to manual control that can occur during safety-critical situations. In the first half of my talk I will present experimental results that show how an operator’s visual attention\, performance\, and cognitive state change when transitioning between autopilot and flight control modes. In the second half of my talk I will discuss how concepts from human-automation interaction can be applied to the study of interactions between engineering students and their instructors. I will present preliminary results from research conducted here at Michigan investigating how flexible classroom spaces\, which have movable tables and chairs that can be rearranged into different layouts\, support better student-student and student-instructor interaction. I will conclude my talk by outlining a vision for future research that leads to evidence-based improvements in undergraduate aerospace engineering education.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nAaron Johnson is a lecturer in the Aerospace Engineering Department and a research fellow in Engineering Education Research at the University of Michigan. He is interested in how students “make sense” of the different elements within their engineering education as they develop into practicing engineers. He is the (unofficial) Co-I of an NSF project currently studying the influence of flexible classroom spaces on teaching and learning. Aaron received his PhD in Humans in Aerospace from MIT in 2015\, where he was a Draper Laboratory Fellow. His PhD research used quantitative analysis of human-in-the-loop experiments and mathematical modeling to investigate changes in an operator’s performance and cognitive state when transitioning between autopilot and manual flight control modes. Aaron’s dissertation was awarded the 2016 Stanley Roscoe Award for Best Doctoral Dissertation from the Aerospace Human Factors Association. Aaron also holds a BSE from the University of Michigan and an MS from MIT\, both in aerospace engineering. Before returning to Michigan in July 2016\, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach.

Using this framework\, I discuss parameters of interest and provide conditions under which spillover effects can be identified in a randomized experiment. In addition\, I characterize and discuss the causal interpretation of the estimands that are recovered by three specifications that are widely popular in empirical work: a regression of an outcome on a treatment indicator (difference in means)\, a regression of an outcome on a treatment indicator and the proportion of treated neighbors (a reduced-form linear-in-means model) and a regression exploiting variability in treatment assignment probabilities in two-stage designs. Finally\, I provide conditions for uniform consistency and asymptotic Normality of direct and spillover effects estimators with special focus on the effect of potential outcome modeling assumptions and treatment assignment mechanism on inference. I illustrate my findings with data from a randomized conditional cash transfer pilot in Colombia and with a simulation study.\n\nBIO:\nGonzalo Vazquez-Bare is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of Michigan\, where he is also completing the M.A. in Statistics.

We use administrative data from claims to study the past 10 years of the prescription opioid epidemic. \n\nWe find opioid use remains common\, with only modest reductions in prevalence of use from the peak of the epidemic in 2010-2011. Chronic users of opioids consume the majority of all opioids and often take very high doses (more than 100 mg morphine equivalents per day)\, placing them at high risk for adverse outcomes. To understand the risk of of non-users becoming chronic users\, we follow people who were opioid naïve filling their first opioid prescription in the Emergency Department (ED) and in other care settings. Prescriptions written in the ED are more likely to follow best practices for dose and duration of use\, and are associated with a lower risk of chronic opioid use than prescriptions written in other settings.\n\nFinally\, we explore an apparent anomaly in the data—a sudden\, steep decrease in average opioid doses that was caused by the removal of propoxyphene from the market. Despite decades of concern about its safety\, propoxyphene was one of the most popular prescription drugs until it was pulled in late 2010. We describe treatment courses for people using propoxyphene at the time it was discontinued in 2010\, finding large reductions in their opioid use as they were switched to alternative opioids at lower\, safer doses.

The absolute size of price adjustment decreases. We show that these facts are consistent with menu cost models where the fixed cost of adjustment does not scale with product revenue. This dependence introduces a revenue effect where the price of products with higher revenue are more likely to change and are more responsive to monetary shocks. We also document that the mean and variance of the cross-sectional log revenue distribution decreases with unemployment. Together with our earlier findings\, this implies that the real effect of monetary policy is stronger in recessions than expansions. Using a quantitative menu cost model we show that output is more responsive to monetary shocks in low output states than in high output states. Lastly\, we provide empirical evidence of state-dependence in monetary policy transmission.

The Oct. 4 talk featuring David Sarley\, senior program officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation\, also will highlight how graduating students can make a difference in global public health.\n\nSarley’s talk\, “Primary Health Care Supply Chain Challenges and Opportunities\,” will be held at 5 p.m. in Room R2220 at the Ross School of Business. It is free and open to the public.\n\nThe WDI Global Impact Speaker Series features thought leaders and practitioners who do innovative work in low- and middle-income countries. They share their experience\, provoke thought\, and stimulate discussion around the opportunities and challenges of international development.\n\nOver the last five years at the Gates Foundation\, Sarley has created and managed investments across multiple delivery teams tasked with strengthening supply chains\, and recently joined the Innovation and Strategy team in Vaccine Delivery. \n\n“David has a deep understanding of the needs\, opportunities and challenges that many countries face ensuring that their citizens have access to a reliable supply of lifesaving health commodities\,” said Michael Krautmann\, senior research associate with WDI’s Healthcare Initiative\, who has worked with Sarley on Gates-funded projects. “Through his work at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation\, David is at the forefront of technological and organizational solutions to these challenges\, and his talk will be insightful for students\, faculty and all those who are interested in improving global access to medicines.”\n\nWDI has collaborated with the Gates Foundation on several projects\, and Sarley served as program officer on a large healthcare project\, “Developing a Common Vision of Effective and Efficient Global Health Supply Chains\,” that had a number of sub-components.\n\nOne element of the large project was creating executive communications materials to increase global donors’ investment in supply chain\, and convey key supply chain challenges and opportunities in global health. Another part of the project resulted in a WDI report\, “Designing Global Health Supply Chains for the Future\,” that proposed a series of initiatives that governments\, global development agencies\, and those in the private sector should undertake immediately in order to build supply chain capacity to anticipate these increasing demands in the coming decades.\n\nWDI’s engagement with Gates also studied facilitating data-driven supply chain policy decisions by developing a model that incorporates performance tradeoffs and stakeholder priorities into formal cost effectiveness analysis. And\, designing and initializing a supply chain resource center in West Africa that provides direct strategy support to governments to help transform their healthcare.\n\nSarley has nearly 35 years experience in investment and development in emerging markets. He has worked for 15 years in public health supply chain management\, including 10 years with USAID grantee John Snow Inc. (JSI) and five at the Gates Foundation. Prior to JSI\, he worked in economics consultancy for 16 years in trade\, transport\, finance and health economics.

With its breathtaking photography\, nail-biting suspense\, and startling emotion\, Chasing Coral is a dramatic revelation that won’t have audiences sitting idle for long.\n\nSponsored by: Climate Blue\, Citizens Climate Lobby\, and Michigan GIVErs UID:44997-10041313@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44997 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Environment,Film,Food,Free,Graduate Students,International,Michigan Engineering,Science,Sustainability,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:Dana Natural Resources Building - 1040 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170922T093451 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171004T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171004T203000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:ASP Film Screening | 3 Weeks in Yerevan DESCRIPTION:In this heartwarming comedy\, two filmmakers (Armen and Raffi)\, from Los Angeles\, go to Armenia to shoot a feature length movie about a third generation American Armenian who goes to Yerevan to adopt a 12-year old child. Teaming up with a local impresario (Rubo)\, the crew begins the arduous task of casting for the parts\, scouting locations and securing the last leg of the funding. What seems to be a perfect plan becomes a perfect storm of absurd meetings\, unexpected discoveries and hysterical events\, which come together to sabotage the project. \n\nThe Minister of Culture\, the chief of police\, the director of Hyefilm Studios\, the oligarch…They all offer to help\, and yet all of them have their conditions – changing the plot of the script\, adopting it to another period\, casting a relative for a part\, and ultimately a proposal to turn the simple\, touching story into a biopic of an oligarch. \n\nThe chemistry between Rubo\, Armen\, and Raffi creates an amazing hilarity\, and their journey to realize their dream brings them face to face with some colorful characters\, fantastic situations\, and beautiful backdrops.

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. 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:43032-9696878@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:20171005T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171005T210000 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:42127-9560426@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:42280-9593343@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:20171005T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171005T170000 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.

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.

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.

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.

Through his visual work\, Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of exile\, memory and reconciliation. \n \nFor many years\, Poskovic produced his multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing mostly traditional hand-carving to produce large scale mokuhanga prints. In recent years\, Poskovic has expanded his practice to use both established and non-traditional methods\, combing classical Japanese carving with laser engraving-printing from bit-map data files. For this presentation\, Poskovic will discuss his \"Dream Series\" of color woodcut prints and the research conducted at the Mokuhanga Innovation Lab in Tokyo. He will share the results of his research into new technologies and how they intersect with traditional methods\, as well as present mokuhanga tools\, washi paper\, finished woodcut prints\, and other works in progress. \n \nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, the Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy\, yet many people find it harder to differentiate good journalism from propaganda. Increasingly\, inaccurate information is shared on Facebook and echoed by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This becomes more problematic because people have a tendency to accept agreeable messages over challenging claims\, even if the former are less objectively credible. In this teach-out\, we examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories\, and that lead people to believe those stories. We then provide a series of tools that ordinary citizens can use to tell fact from fiction.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\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.

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.

The ovaries contain a limited number of immature follicles. Serving as the ovarian reserve\, follicles have the potential to develop and produce mature oocytes capable of fertilization in a highly regulated process called folliculogenesis. Chemo- and radiation therapies used as cancer treatments can have unintended effects on patients such as detrimental effects on the non-replenishable ovarian reserve\, resulting premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and/or infertility. Clinically established fertility preservation methods\, such as egg and embryo cryopreservation\, are no applicable to all patients. This gap has motivated the development of new strategies to produce mature oocytes to restore fertility at a later date. Among the emerging technologies\, in vitro ovarian follicle growth (IVFG) systems represent great translational potentials to harvest fertilizable eggs regardless of patients’ age or hormone stimulation. Isolated single follicles can be cultured in two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) systems. Specifically among 3D methods\, encapsulated in vitro follicle growth (eIVFG) systems have been developed to mimic the native 3D physiological environment of the ovaries by maintaining a spherical morphology and the cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions between the oocyte and somatic cells of the follicle.\n \nTo better understand and more accurately reflect various signals (growth factors\, hormones\, extracellular matrixes\, mechanics\, etc.) in the culture environment\, we investigated multiple aspects of the eIVFG environment to provide guiding principles to facilitate the development of alternative fertility preservation options. We first started with secondary follicles that can autonomously grow in vitro and examined the effects of xenobiotics on developing follicles in vitro. This knowledge not only complemented our current understanding of the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs and environmental toxicants. More importantly\, the application of such a high-throughput eIVFG system together with its dynamic culture environment provides a faster and cheaper alternative toxicity evaluation method compared to traditional animal models. Next\, we examined the interactions between small\, early stage (late primary and early secondary) follicles and supporting stromal cells. By allowing such interactions in our novel biomimetic matrix\, we were able to harvest mature\, fertilizable oocytes from small follicles. Additionally\, by using supporting cells derived in a patient-specific way\, this synthetic and xeno-free matrix represents great translational potentials for clinical application. Lastly\, we examined the paracrine cues present in various culture environments by monitoring the dynamic activities of specific transcription factors (TFs) in real time. By the first time ever lentiviral transduction of the follicles\, we delivered specific TF reporters. By quantifying bioluminescence intensity from the reporters\, we investigated the underlying mechanism that results in a number-dependent manner of folliculogenesis. Additionally\, this technique can serve as a powerful tool to probe potential TFs on a large scale. By quantifying in real time the dynamic activities of specific TFs\, this technique can provide insightful knowledge to the causation between TF activities and phenotypical changes.\n \nIn conclusion\, by examining multiple aspects of the in vitro ovarian follicle environment\, this dissertation provides new understanding of the bioengineering principles in numerous in vitro follicle culture applications and in the field of reproductive biology more broadly. By providing novel solutions to ongoing clinical issues\, the research described in this dissertation reveals a translational opportunity for combining biomaterials technology and the field of reproductive biology.\n \nDate: Thursday\, October 5\, 2017\nTime: 1:00 PM\nLocation 1690 Beyster\nChair: Ariella Shikanov UID:44946-10015358@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44946 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Education LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171007T175155 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171005T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171005T143000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:C21 Conversations: What is 21st Century Literature?

During this time substantial advancements have been made in hypersonic propulsion systems such as scramjets\, high-temperature structural materials and thermal protection systems\, and advanced vehicle design methods and tools. Taken together\, these advancing technologies are moving mankind ever closer to achieving routine hypersonic flight\, which will enable dramatically faster military missions and global transportation\, and substantially more affordable space transportation.\n\nThis presentation will address the key technical aspects and challenges of hypersonic vehicle design\, and will summarize progress made in maturing technologies critical to the development of practical hypersonic systems. The successful X-51A flight test program will be highlighted. The presentation will conclude by describing a vision for hypersonics.\n\n\nAbout the speaker...\nDr. Kevin G. Bowcutt is a Boeing Senior Technical Fellow and Chief Scientist of Hypersonics for The Boeing Company\, with 35 years of experience. He is an AIAA Fellow\, a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society\, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He holds BS\, MS and PhD degrees in aerospace engineering from the University of Maryland. Dr. Bowcutt is an internationally recognized expert in hypersonic aerodynamics\, propulsion integration\, and vehicle design and optimization. Notable accomplishments include developing the viscous-optimized waverider\, originating the concept and optimizing the design of the X-51A scramjet-powered vehicle\, working on the Space Shuttle Columbia accident investigation simulating wing aero-thermal-structural failure\, designing the HIFiRE 4 flight test vehicle\, and giving a TEDx talk on hypersonics. Dr. Bowcutt leads Boeing’s efforts to design advanced hypersonic missiles\, airplanes\, and space-plane concepts.

Little experimental work exists on the mechanisms that mammals employ to deal with plant toxins or how some species such as the koala or Stephen’s woodrat are capable of specializing on plants that contain high concentrations of toxins. To address this topic\, we have been taking a “pharm-ecological” approach that integrates techniques and tools from various disciplines including ecology\, behavior\, genomics and biochemistry. We have discovered some of the surprising ways in which herbivores cope with toxic diets such as behavioral manipulation\, symbioses with gut microbes\, and liver enzymes with unexpected biochemical properties. I will highlight some recent results from my lab group in this presentation.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/v8VKSSDlJtY UID:42290-9593396@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42290 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170929T111400 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171005T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171005T173000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Grad students career development talk DESCRIPTION:Title: How and why you should use social media in academia\n\nAre you a graduate student or early career researcher and interested\nin learning more about how to use social media in academia?

In the last year the far right has seen mixed results\, but immigration has played an important role for populist politicians on both sides of the Atlantic. In Europe\, Islamic terrorism and the refugee issue has played a key role in raising the salience of the immigration issue. In the U.S.\, undocumented immigration from Latin America and the spread of immigrants to new regions of the country has also raised the salience of the issue. Using evidence from previous research\, including research examining the importance of the salience of the immigration issue\, Professor Givens will examine the connection between immigration\, religion and race and the rise of populist politicians in the U.S. and Europe.

Wege Foundation Lecture on Sustainability) DESCRIPTION:Bill McKibben\, an author and environmentalist who in 2014 was awarded the Right Livelihood Prize\, sometimes called the \"alternative Nobel.\" His 1989 book The End of Nature is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change\, and has appeared in 24 languages\; he’s gone on to write a dozen more books. He is a founder of 350.org\, the first planet-wide\, grassroots climate change movement\, which has organized twenty thousand rallies around the world in every country save North Korea\, spearheaded the resistance to the Keystone Pipeline\, and launched the fast-growing fossil fuel divestment movement. \n\nThe Schumann Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies at Middlebury College and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, he was the 2013 winner of the Gandhi Prize and the Thomas Merton Prize\, and holds honorary degrees from 18 colleges and universities. Foreign Policy named him to their inaugural list of the world’s 100 most important global thinkers\, and the Boston Globe said he was “probably America’s most important environmentalist.” \n\nA former staff writer for the New Yorker\, he writes frequently for a wide variety of publications around the world\, including the New York Review of Books\,National Geographic\, and Rolling Stone. He lives in the mountains above Lake Champlain with his wife\, the writer Sue Halpern\, where he spends as much time as possible outdoors .

Over the span of his 60-year career\, Christo and Jeanne-Claude have created many public works involving the exterior wrapping of buildings\, museums\, and public spaces in canvas\, tarp\, and other materials. Oil barrels have also featured prominently in the couple’s work\, selected for their “sculptural effect and low cost.” Their most recent U.S. project\, The Gates (completed in 2005)\, featured 7\,503 rectangular arches draped in saffron fabric across New York City’s Central Park. While many speculate on the specific meaning of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s work\, throughout their career\, the artists have shunned the idea that their creative work seeks to convey deeper meanings\, insisting that they create work to evoke a purely visceral emotional response using visual aesthetic. However\, Christo speaks of the public locations of their installations in decidedly democratic terms. “Nobody can buy our projects. Nobody can sell tickets to experience our projects.

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.

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:43032-9696879@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:20171006T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T210000 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:42127-9560427@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:42280-9593344@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:20171006T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T170000 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.

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 objectives in this annual activity are to raise consciousness about and reinforce the animal-human bond with the intent of making the academic\, hospital\, and surrounding local community feel comfortable with and appreciative of therapy and service dogs and their various roles in helping human beings. In addition\, for the past ten years\, we have Invited various service and therapy dog organizations (e.g.\, Paws with a Cause: Canine Companions\; Leader Dogs\, Therapaws\, etc.) to come to campus in October\, to interact with members of the community\, especially students and hospital patients\, all of which is a wonderful learning experience for our campus and surrounding community. We established several venues for dog viewing (and patting) around campus and in the hospital. We also fielded questions as well as offers from individuals to enroll their own pets in the therapy dog program or to foster and socialize puppies until they were old enough to undergo training as service dogs. Conclusions: By presenting positive\, detailed information about the training and ultimate helpfulness of various types of service and therapy dogs and by providing \"hands-on\" interactions with these canines\, we have promoted the idea of bonding between dogs and people\, both emotionally and as valuable assistants to individuals with disabilities.

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.

However\, the safety issues of riding a bicycle on roadways with mixed traffic have been a major concern. This work investigates how drivers overtake bicyclists using real-world objective data from a recent large-scale naturalistic driving study. Over 4\,800 verified overtaking events were examined. The initial results show how the drivers' lateral maneuver of the vehicle during the overtaking was affected by a range of factors including the types of lane markings\, traffic\, bike lane\, and whether the driver was distracted by an electronic device. This work provides objective data that could be potentially used to support the designs of better road infrastructures\, safety technologies\, and laws and regulations that aim to improve the safety of all road users.\n\nBio: Fred Feng is a research fellow at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI). Dr. Feng joined the UMTRI Human Factors group after completing his Ph.D. in the IOE department at the University of Michigan under the supervision of Dr. Yili Liu. Dr. Feng's research interests include human-machine interactions and human performance modeling with the applications on driver behaviors and the safety of vulnerable road users.

And then once I got to grad school I learned that being a professor and running a lab required much more. Setting a research vision\, budgets and funding\, building the lab\, recruiting students\, guiding and growing them\, and keeping the whole ship running… it wasn't mostly teaching the way I thought it was. If those were the things I was going to do anyways\, I decided to do them in the business world and shipped myself off to Silicon Valley. I'll talk to you about what it’s like being a physicist in the business world\, and what I've learned along my random walk. I'll go deeper on people management as the critical skill to scaling yourself. And I'll leave plenty of time for questions on anything\, or to hear thoughts you have.\n \nJoel leads the global Sales Planning & Operations org which scales Facebook's business.

Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy\, yet many people find it harder to differentiate good journalism from propaganda. Increasingly\, inaccurate information is shared on Facebook and echoed by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This becomes more problematic because people have a tendency to accept agreeable messages over challenging claims\, even if the former are less objectively credible. In this teach-out\, we examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories\, and that lead people to believe those stories. We then provide a series of tools that ordinary citizens can use to tell fact from fiction.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\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!\n\nFind new opportunities at teach-out.org.

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.

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.

While many factors contribute to this variation (e.g.\, sociolinguistic\, physiological)\, there is considerable evidence that acoustic-phonetic variation is highly structured among speech sounds. Structured variation of this type can be observed in the covariation among vowels in the F1xF2 vowel space\, as talkers form relatively congruent\, but shifted vowel spaces (e.g.\, Joos\, 1948\; Nearey\, 1978)\, as well as in the covariation of talker mean voice onset time among aspirated stop consonants (e.g.\, Chodroff & Wilson\, 2017). The presence of covariation reveals constraints on permissible variation in language- and talker-specific sound systems (e.g.\, Liljencrants & Lindblom\, 1972)\, and may be exploited in generalized perceptual adaptation to novel talkers.\n\nIn this talk\, I will examine the predictions of two constraints on phonetic implementation that could give rise to covariation across talkers. The constraints are formalized as target uniformity\, which requires similar (or identical) phonetic realization of a distinctive feature value within a talker\, and contrast uniformity\, which requires a comparable phonetic difference in sounds that contrast in a feature across talkers. Evidence from several case studies of sibilant fricatives implicates target uniformity\, but not contrast uniformity as a constraint on phonetic realization.\n\nI will also discuss the implications of phonetic covariation for perceptual adaptation to novel talkers. Covariation indicates mutual predictability among speech sounds\, such that evidence from one speech sound could be used to infer properties of a second speech sound. I present evidence that perceptual knowledge of phonetic covariation is consistent with many patterns of generalized adaptation\, but general auditory factors (e.g.\, spectral contrast) may have primary influence on short-term adaptation.

First\, Scott Allard will give a talk about the rise of suburban poverty. Then\, there will be a Poverty Simulation open to all U of M students. The goal of the Poverty Simulation is to begin to understand what it might be like for a typical low-income family to survive from month to month. The simulation framework was carefully developed by the Missouri Community Action Network\, a nationally recognized community-based organization with expertise developing experiential learning models on poverty-related issues.\n\nYou may register for either of the two events separately\, or choose to attend both. Note that Dr. Allard's keynote is open to anyone\, while the Poverty Simulation is open only to U-M students of all levels. Please see the Poverty Simulation Registration page for more details on the specifics of that event. \n\nWhile this exercise does not fully reflect what it is like to live in poverty\, it is designed to give participants specific realistic challenges associated with feeding your family\, paying your bills\, finding employment\, and navigating many more challenges. The goal is to have students reflect and learn ways to take action\, promote justice\, and be an ally to those living in a real state of poverty. Want to know more?

A CONQUEST KOINE: The Oral and Written Transmission of Reports on the Islamic Conquest of Duin DESCRIPTION:Commentators: Manan Ahmed (Columbia U) and Matt Mosca (U Washington).\n\nThe earliest extant Arabic histories describing the rise of Islam and the Caliphate date to the ninth century\, some two centuries after the events they purport to describe. This has prompted a strong tendency towards skepticism among historians of early Islam who suggest that perhaps these histories reveal more about ʿAbbasid-era realities than about conquest- or Umayyad-era events. Accordingly\, a number of scholars have turned to non-Arabic sources to corroborate or challenge the data culled from Arabic histories. \n \nThis paper questions the use of non-Arabic sources as independent checks on the Arabic. In particular\, it examines the accounts of the seventh-century Arab conquest of Armenia and specifically Dabīl/Duin\, the Sasanian and caliphal capital of Armenia\, to forward suggestions about how we might trace oral transmission of historical reports in multilingual communities of the medieval Near East.

The breadth of this aggression has received attention not only from academics\, but in popular press\, where it has been widely critiqued as unfortunate consequences of trolling culture. Largely absent from these conversations is the role of gender\, and in particular masculinity\, in sustaining harassment in digital contexts. In this talk\, I examine the connections between masculinity and sociotechnical affordances of computer-mediated communication in men's motivations to gender harass online. I propose that men's endorsement of online gender-based harassment is motivated by attempts to (re)affirm their masculinity following threats that question their manhood. Anonymity afforded by online communication can exacerbate these effects\, since the impression of being anonymous makes it easier to engage in harassment. Technology therefore enables gender harassment to thrive\, yet men's motivations to gender harass are grounded in performances of masculinity and maintenance of gender relations between (and among) women and men.

In my talk I am going to discuss how the lack of water influences physical and chemical weathering processes\, a perspective that helps in understanding surface landforms and soil mineralogy on other waterless and lifeless (?) worlds like Mars. The big surprise for me about the Atacama has been the fundamental role of seismicity\, something that took me years to recognize because of my origins in an aqueous world. We will look at some of the features of this seismic landscape\, including the truly bizarre rolling and rubbing boulder fields. \nChemical weathering patterns are also rather “extraterrestrial” in the Atacama\, and our studies explain why sulfates are abundant and carbonates negligible in the Atacama and on Mars. Because of its aridity and lack of life\, the Atacama missed out on the Great Carbonation Event (GCE) that overtook Earth starting in the early (oceans) to mid- (land) Paleozoic.

Yet the role of adinkra in practices of remembrance extends far beyond funerals. Since at least the early 19th century\, the Akan have printed adinkra cloth with distinct graphic designs evoking multiple meanings related to proverbs\, historical narratives\, and moral beliefs. Joining visual and verbal arts\, adinkra is a dynamic form of communication that oscillates between expressing personal\, cultural\, and national identities. Ghanaians have innovated the form and meaning of adinkra over time to mark changing relationships to the past and envisions of future aspirations.\n\nThis presentation examines how Ghanaians have re-invented adinkra from a precolonial Akan cultural practice to represent national culture. Specifically\, it analyzes the shifting meanings and contexts of gye Nyame\, one of the most popular adinkra symbols. Often translated as “Except God\,” gye Nyame is ubiquitous in Ghana today – ranging from plastic chairs and key chains to churches\, currency notes\, and tourist souvenirs. In tracing one motif across time and space\, this talk reveals how Ghanaians have transformed gye Nyame and revitalized adinkra to resonate deeply in contemporary life.\n\nElizabeth Rauh\, \"The Colored Horizons of Karbala: Rafa Nasiri and Contemporary Printmaking in Late 1960s Iraq\"\n\nThis presentation looks to Rafa Nasiri’s (1940-2013) printmaking practice and its early experimentation with printed Arabic script as the locus from which he stimulated and historicized the contemporary graphic arts movement in Iraq. Although conversant in pan-Arab and international socialist realist strategies from his training in printmaking at the Institute of Fine Arts in Beijing (1958-1963)\, Nasiri’s work in the 1960s offers experiments with global abstract expressionism and local religious prints. The need for educational programs and publications on the arts of Arab printing led Nasiri to travel around Iraq gathering popular printed textiles. Nasiri collected block printed (hafir al-tarsh) black and white calligraphic banners\, which are carried in the streets during ‘Ashura and the holy month of Muharram\, when mass pilgrimage processions overtake Shi‘i Muslim shrines in the cities of Karbala and Najaf. He then cut these popular prints and their pious poetic verses into separate cartouches and adhered them directly onto his abstract works. \n\nDrawing upon communal rituals and public ceremonies moored Nasiri’s contemporary graphic art practice within Iraq’s historic printing technologies and social and religious practices. The collage-print series offered visual venerations of the Battle of Karbala (680 AD) as colorfully abstracted desert landscapes. Nestled within their references to that catastrophic landscape\, the Shi‘i readymade prints associated Nasiri’s works with the ancient battle and its religious performances of dissent against injustice and oppression. By imprinting his compositions with prefabricated calligraphic texts\, Nasiri elicited collective memories of Karbala and created a representational strategy counter to the new Baathist regime’s use of populist imagery. These works thus show how Rafa Nasiri marshaled Iraq’s historic printing technologies and social traditions to depict popular expressions of the metaphoric horizons of Karbala.

For each turn of its catalytic cycle\, cytP450 requires two electrons from its redox partners: Cytochrome P450 Reductase (CPR) and cytochrome b5 (cytb5). We are interested in how these proteins interact with each other specifically in the presence of lipid membrane mimetics and in the presence of various substrates. Here we use NMR spectroscopy and other biophysical tools to characterize the effect membrane has on the interaction between cytb5 and cytochrome c\, a model for cytP450. Our findings reveal the importance of studying these membrane proteins in a biologically relevant membrane mimetic both structurally and kinetically. We have also begun work on understanding how CPR and cytb5 compete for binding to cytP450 and unravelling the structural and dynamic basis for this competition. Our data reveals how substrates can help to modulate the interaction between the two redox partners and cytP450\, starting to define a complete picture of this trio of proteins. \n\nand \n\nBrian Linhares: “Fragment-based identification and optimization of inhibitors targeting BCL6-co-repressor interactions.”\nAbstract: Constitutively overexpressed B-Cell Lymphoma protein 6 (BCL6) is an oncogenic driver in various subtypes of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. In normal B-Cell physiology\, BCL6 governs cell development and regulates affinity antibody maturation\, through mediating the formation of transcription repression complexes. The N-terminal BTB domain of BCL6 (BCL6BTB) is responsible for dimerization and for recruitment of co-repressors\, notably HDAC3-binding partner Silencing Mediator of Retinoic acid and Thyroid hormone (SMRT)\, via the Lateral Groove (LG)\, a unique structural motif of the BCL6-SMRT protein-protein binding interface. This site has therefore been promoted for pharmacological intervention\, yet the development of potent\, selective inhibitors with favorable drug-like properties has largely eluded campaigns to target BCL6. I will report the identification and optimization of a novel inhibitor scaffold of BCL6 BTB. Fragment-based screening identified a hit that binds at the LG\, and structure determination of the fragment hit in complex with BCL6 BTB to high-resolution revealed the binding mode. Guided by the previously determined structure of BCL6BTB-SMRT BCL6 Binding Domain (SMRTBBD)\, structure-based drug design\, in tandem with biophysical approaches\, led an extensive investment in synthetic medicinal chemistry to target an adjacent pocket at the LG that is also occupied in BCL6BTB-SMRTBBD. Exploring substitutions to more fully occupy this pocket yielded small-molecule inhibitors with mid-micromolar affinity for BCL6BTB\, which represents a 100-fold improvement in potency from the hit. As an inhibitor scaffold\, our compounds may hold potential as chemical probes\, and in scaffold hopping to aid in further inhibitor development UID:42543-10152993@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biophysics,Chemistry LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170131T114502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T180000 SUMMARY:Community Service:SLE at Friends of the Campus Farm Workday DESCRIPTION:Join other Oxford and SLE residents for farmwork in the Greenhouse with Friends of the Campus Farm at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.

We have developed a catalytic enantioselective allylic amination of unactivated alkenes via a [2\,3]-rearrangement. In this method\, a diimido-sulfur reagent serves as the source of nitrogen\, and it reacts selectively with terminal alkenes through a hetero-ene reaction. The resulting ene adduct undergoes a Pd-catalyzed enantioselective [2\,3]-rearrangement to generate chiral amines in high enantiomeric excess. Our approach is conceptually distinct from other enantioselective allylic amination strategies. The synthetic utility of our process is being explored by converting simple and inexpensive terminal alkenes into functional materials\, such as the pharmaceutical drugs. Based on this chemistry\, we have developed a copper-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation of unactivated alkenes to generate internal alkenes with high regioselectivity and E-selectivity. We have also discovered regioselective and diastereoselective aminoarylations and aminothiolations of 1\,3-dienes. These results represent a general strategy for functionalizing unsaturated hydrocarbons with aromatic\, aliphatic\, and vinyl Grignard reagents. As an extension of our approach to the catalytic allylic functionalization of unactivated terminal alkenes\, we recently pursued the more challenging problem of catalytic asymmetric allylic functionalization of internal alkenes. We have developed an enantioselective\, regioselective\, and E/Z selective allylic oxidation of unactivated internal alkenes via a catalytic asymmetric hetero-ene reaction with an imido-sulfur oxidant. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nUttam Tambar (UT Southwestern Medical Center) UID:41303-9097455@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/41303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171006T143338 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171006T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Harlow Whittemore Lecture DESCRIPTION:This year's Harlow Whittemore Lecture features Chelina Odbert\, co-founder and executive director of Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI)\, and her colleague Joe Mulligan\, and associate director of KDI.\n\nKounkey Design Initiative (KDI) is a non-profit design and community development organization that partners with underserved communities in the US\, Africa\, and Latin America to physically transform communities and in the process\, improve environmental\, economic\, and social quality of life.

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:43032-9696880@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:20171007T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171007T210000 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.

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.

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:42280-9593345@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:20171007T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171007T170000 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.

Melting of permafrost in the Arctic and deforestation of forests and agroforestry systems in the tropics are two such important examples. These feedbacks are poorly understood\, but have the potential to alter the globe as we know it and critically test humanity's resolve for mitigation and ability to adapt.

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.

Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy\, yet many people find it harder to differentiate good journalism from propaganda. Increasingly\, inaccurate information is shared on Facebook and echoed by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This becomes more problematic because people have a tendency to accept agreeable messages over challenging claims\, even if the former are less objectively credible. In this teach-out\, we examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories\, and that lead people to believe those stories. We then provide a series of tools that ordinary citizens can use to tell fact from fiction.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\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.

The exhibition includes a recreation of a Martha Cook Residence Hall room\, circa 1917\, amongst the first on campus to house women. A poster kiosk occupies the middle of one room in the Museum\, plastered with fliers and posters from across time. A reproduction of student scrapbooks brings visitors in direct contact with individuals at various times throughout history. From the morning ritual of reading the Michigan Daily\, to student reaction and involvement in U.S. wars\, from the mandates and tweets of student organizations\, to a survey of infamous late night Ann Arbor hot spots\, this is a wide ranging exhibition with many interesting\, entertaining and illuminating stories to tell.\n\nDesigned by U-M students participating in MUSEUMS 498\, in the History of Art Department\, in collaboration with the U-M Bicentennial Office\, and the Washtenaw County Historical Society.\n\nFor information on-the-go about this event and all other Bicentennial happenings\, download our mobile app: http://guidebook.com/g/umich200.

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.
