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:43032-9696893@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:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\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\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

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.

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:42127-9560441@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:42280-9593358@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:20171022T180044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T235959 SUMMARY:Other:CWPA Big Ten Championship DESCRIPTION:CWPA Big Ten Championship at Iowa University UID:45849-10381401@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45849 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Campus Wellness and Recreation Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170925T144329 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T150000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Genomics & Antibiotic Resistance: a new paradigm DESCRIPTION:Antibiotic resistant bacteria are a threat to modern medical practice. Antibiotics save us from life-threatening infections\, and are used extensively to prevent or heal infections stemming from medical interventions\, including surgery\, chemotherapy and organ transplantation. While it is fairly straightforward to identify bacteria resistant to therapy\, until the availability of genomics it was extremely difficult to trace the emergence and spread of specific mechanisms of resistance. At the October 20\, 2017 MAC-EPID symposium we will learn how genomics has transformed our understanding of the spread of antibiotic resistance and the spatial spread of pathogens.\n\nThis FREE partial-day symposium includes lunch so PLEASE REGISTER.

Such drift may be caused by large persistent disturbances (e.g.\, wind gusts) or when the control authority is limited (e.g.\, underactuated systems). In other systems\, similar drift is caused by finite resources (fuel\, energy\, component life\, etc.) being continuously depleted. This dissertation advances theory and methods for designing control algorithms that maximize the time or\, in general\, a yield function before a given system violates prescribed constraints. Such problems are referred to as drift counteraction optimal control (DCOC) problems since the controller may be viewed as counteracting drift in order to delay constraint violation. Both deterministic and stochastic settings of the DCOC problem are considered and new theoretical results are derived\, including properties of the objective function\, conditions under which a solution to the DCOC problem exists\, and characteristics of a solution. In addition\, new algorithms based on dynamic programming\, approximate dynamic programming\, and model predictive control are developed to solve the DCOC problem. Several engineering applications of DCOC are proposed with a focus on spacecraft control and driving policies for autonomous vehicles\, where the effectiveness of the developed approaches is demonstrated in numerical case studies.\n\nDissertation Committee:\nChair: Prof. Ilya V.

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.

The Cost of Uplift: Filipino Labor and Exploitation in American Colonial Schools and Prisons DESCRIPTION:By the 1910s\, the United States had firmly established state-run institutions to carryout its brand of colonialism in the Philippines\, “benevolent assimilation.” The new colonial state promised to uplift Filipinos and bring modernity\, industrialization\, and wealth. However\, an examination of labor in colonial state-run industrial schools and prisons and specifically in the sector of embroidery production\, one of the most profitable exports\, reveals a troubling story of racialized and gendered exploitation. These institutions appeared as exemplars of reform and the uplift\, granting Filipino women and girls the education and skills to participate in an advancing and industrializing society. In actuality\, prisons and schools provided a controlled environment where educating “pupil workers” and women prisoners became a way to create a vulnerable and exploitable workforce for the profit of the colonial state and American investors. By linking embroidery and labor to colonial education and prison systems\, this paper questions the “benefits” of American colonialism and explores the hidden cost of uplift.

The main factors detected were: lack of tool or unsuitable tool (in 21% of all events)\, improper (inadequate) layout (18%)\, operation standards did not fulfil ergonomics requirements (17%)\, awkward body position (16%)\, adverse floor (15%)\, overload linked to the task (10%)\, unsuitable procedure to move or convey material (10%)\, unsuitable access\, stairs\, ladders and ramps (9%) and high intensity efforts (8%). The identification of ergonomics-related causes in the origin of typical work-related accidents highlights the companies’ strong necessity to implement ergonomic actions in their safety programs. A significant improvement in accident indicators may be obtained when the investigation process not only detects human failures\, but also asks whether the worker’s condition to do the job could be different from that one existing when the accident occurred. The ergonomic factor showed in this research (41%) is highly significant and it can be stated that it should be a priority as important as the investments in the safety culture.\n\nBio: Hudson Couto – Occupational Physician\, PhD\, Professor of Physiology and Ergonomics at Medical School\, Consultancy in Ergonomics and Safety in Brazil\, author of 15 books.\nDennis Couto – Automation and Control Engineer\, Ergonomics Specialist\, co-author of the book A New Vision on Work Accidents Prevention- The Ergonomic Factor (in Portuguese) UID:45748-10273916@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45748 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion LOCATION:Industrial and Operations Engineering Building - G699 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170818T161608 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171020T131500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Stressed!

Pisanello\, Adrian Stokes\, and the Image of the Threshold DESCRIPTION:In his mind-bending early essay\, “Pisanello” (1930)\, Adrian Stokes laid the groundwork for the project that claimed the “Quattro Cento” as the period that contained the beating heart of humanist culture. Central to the essay is an elaborate ekphrasis loosely evoking the arch fresco that Pisanello painted circa 1438 in Church of Sant’Anastasia in Verona. In constructing his own image Stokes both stages a passage and holds it in suspension\, as a threshold. My paper explores the potential of Stokes’ threshold as a means of formulating a critical position capable of engaging the unruly\, sometimes disturbing aspects of Pisanello’s art\, those aspects that the central discourses of modernist art history found difficult to accommodate.

This paper asks whether there are \"moral\" norms that act as such constraints. I will argue that the recent attempts to demonstrate that there are have been unsuccessful\, but I will also try to construct the best case I can for the existence of such a moral norm.\n\nThose who believe that morality has a bearing on aesthetic judgments about nature take one of two tacks. The first appeals to the idea that morally bad states of nature detract from their aesthetic value. Call this idea \"interaction.\" The other tack is that certain aesthetic judgments manifest disrespect for nature\, which makes them defective or inappropriate\, while others manifest respect making them more appropriate. Call this idea \"respect for nature.\"\n\nI will first explain why constraints on aesthetic judgment play such central role in environmental aesthetics. I will then consider each of the two approaches to justifying the claim that there are moral constraints on such judgments\, and in each case show that there has not been successful arguments for a moral norm that bears on aesthetic judgments. I will then use elements from each approach to make a case for the existence of such moral norms. I will argue that there are at least two reasonable competing moral norms that bear on our aesthetic judgments about nature\, and in general\, it is permissible to adopt either one in the face of degraded natural environments.

A long run sender (a public health authority or central bank\, for example) periodically makes cheap talk announcements related to private information it obtains. Under ideal observational conditions\, implicit enforcement mechanisms can perform as well as legal enforcement. Under more realistic conditions the sender’s best equilibrium payoff may be highly inefficient relative to what he achieves with legal commitment. However\, an institution should be able to build a reputation for using information in particular ways. Modeling reputation explicitly\, in the tradition of Kreps\, Milgrom\, Roberts and Wilson (1982)\, restores efficiency if the institution is sufficiently patient. A dynamic version of the standard Bayesian persuasion example illustrates those effects: the nature of reputational dynamics in perfect Bayesian equilibrium is studied\, and the speed of convergence to maximal payoffs (as the sender’s impatience vanishes) is explored. A general existence theorem for PBE in the model with reputational types is established using a modification of the APS algorithm.

In addition to obscuring the night sky\, the destruction of the natural nocturnal environment disrupts the behavior of countless species\, triggering biological abnormalities and seriously impacting the health of many populations\, including our own. Light pollution is a waste of energy\, generated simply by human thoughtlessness and poor planning. Although meant to improve public safety\, many lighting systems actually compromise safety. Light pollution is easy to address by good planning and public awareness\, and at low financial cost. There is already substantial awareness of light pollution in Michigan\, where dark skies are a recognized commodity.

One of dynein’s conserved essential regulators is Lis1\, a gene that is mutated in the brain developmental disease lissencephaly. Previous studies have shown that Lis1 regulates dynein by anchoring it to microtubules. Here we made the unexpected discovery that Lis1 can also act in an opposing manner to stimulate dynein to release from microtubules. Our work describes the molecular basis for these two mechanisms of Lis1 regulation. Using a combination of cryo-electron microscopy structural analysis and in vitro single molecule-assays we show that dynein’s nucleotide state dictates which mode of regulation Lis1 uses. Based on these mechanistic insights we propose a new model for the cell biological regulation of dynein by Lis1.

This paper explores\, for the first time\, the procession of instruments in a previously unknown Japanese 12m-long hand scroll that has been attributed to Kanō Tōun Masunobu (1625-1694)\, the Chōsen shisetsu gyōretsu zukan\, and the disguised musical activity in one of Hokusai’s (1760-1849) ‘100 Views of Mount Fuji’ woodblock prints. Neither depiction has to date been referenced by Korean musicologists. Both celebrate the extraordinary rather than the everyday: they date from a period when Korea’s relations with Japan were tightly controlled—over a 200-year period\, Korea dispatched just 10 envoys to Japan\, each following a regular\, seasonal path. The hand scroll juxtaposes Japanese samurai and Korean musicians\, while the second\, where\, a decidedly secular party replaces any martial overtones\, dispenses with formality. To the Japanese artists\, difference was tempered by their knowledge of Japanese musical practice\, while Korean scholars examining the existing iconography (including tomb paintings)\, bring difference into alignment with a Korea-centered history.

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:43032-9696894@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:20171011T134113 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171021T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171021T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Green Life Sciences Symposium DESCRIPTION:The 2017 Green Life Science symposium at the University of Michigan will bring together nationally- and internationally-known experts in green life sciences (including U-M alumni) to talk with and to U-M students and faculty about the latest developments in genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\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\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

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:42280-9593359@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:20171021T120016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171021T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171021T130000 SUMMARY:Other:MIT Taekwondo Tournament DESCRIPTION:Eastern Collegiate Taekwondo Conference sponsored tournament at MIT.

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

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

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

Her work is a cultural critique on class\, race\, and identity that has always focused on the other and the outsider. She is an original member of New York’s seminal rock and roll\, political theater The Playhouse of the Ridiculous and was a teenage superstar in Andy Warhol’s Factory. She grew up to make her own work\, sustaining a career of almost 50 years. With her longtime collaborator of 25 years\, Steve Zehentner\, she also co-helms the Lower East Side Biography Project Stemming The Tide Of Cultural Amnesia\, a video documentary project that has broadcast and cybercast weekly for 18 years. For her Penny Stamps event\, Arcade will perform her show Longing Lasts Longer (a double award-winner at the Edinburgh Festival)\, which turns contemporary stand-up on its head to create a crack in the post-gentrified landscape. Driven by her magnetic rock and roll energy\, Arcade’s razor-sharp satire is mixed live to euphoric soundscapes inspired by four decades of pop culture.\n\nIn partnership with Wasserman Projects.\n\nAll Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series presentations are free and open to the public\; visit http://stamps.umich.edu/stamps to view upcoming events.

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.

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:43032-9696895@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:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171022T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171022T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\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\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

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:42280-9593360@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:20171004T123009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171022T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171022T150000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Translate-A-Thon 2017 DESCRIPTION:Registration is open!\n\nUndergraduate and graduate students\, UM faculty and staff\, local community members\, all are welcome!

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. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

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.

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.

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:43032-9696896@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:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171023T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171023T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\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\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

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:42280-9593361@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:20171107T063018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171023T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171023T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:**FULL** Mayo Clinic’s Management Engineering and Internal Consulting - PRE INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION:Representatives from Mayo Clinic\, Jessica Larson and Marissa Makey M.B.A\, will be visiting the University of Michigan on October 23rd showcasing the Management Engineering & Internal Consulting department andwhat it takes to be part of the team.

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.

She received her PhD in Child and Family Studies at the University of Tennessee in May. Her dissertation looked at infant social-emotional develop and mothering among the Gamo of Southern Ethiopia. She is currently investigating the role of attachment in mother and infant cortisol reactivity and attunement during stress. She will be presenting on her two lines of research. \n \nAbstract:\nParents’ beliefs about their infants and their ensuing parenting strategies are shaped by ecological contexts and cultural schema. Furthermore\, parents respond to their infants’ emotions in ways they believe are most appropriate. According to attachment theory\, these reciprocal interactions make up the infants’ social-emotional environment and appear to guide future development and relationship formation\; however\, this trajectory is supported mostly from research in Western industrialized contexts. In this study\, parents’ perceptions of infants’ emotions were investigated through a qualitative study that included interviews with 29 Gamo (Southern Ethiopia) mothers about perceptions of their infants’ emotions and what they believed were the best responses. Next\, we examined the link between Gamo mothers’ feelings about their infants’ negative emotions and mother-infant interactions measured through focal-infant observations. In interviews with Gamo mothers\, perceptions of infant emotions were associated with beliefs about basic needs for infants and some mothers expressed stress when their infants fussed or cried. Mothers who reported stress showed fewer mother-infant interactions. However\, mothers who did not express stress had infants that fussed and cried more than infants of mothers who reported stress. The link between Gamo mothers’ perceptions of their infants’ emotions and basic needs suggests that mothers were mainly focused on keeping infants healthy and alive in a relatively harsh environment. Lastly\, infants with nonstressed mothers may cry and fuss more because they are involved in more interactions with their mothers overall and perhaps use fussing and crying to maintain interactions.\n \nThe mother-infant attachment relationship covaries with cortisol reactivity during stress. Insecure infants display elevated cortisol levels during the strange situation procedure (SSP) and either fail to return to baseline or demonstrate increases in cortisol levels following the SSP. Yet\, mothers’ cortisol levels during and after the SSP have not been sufficiently examined. The goal of this study was to investigate mothers’ and infants’ cortisol reactivity during the SSP and security of the mother-infant attachment. We found a significant interaction between infants’ cortisol and attachment indicating that cortisol levels differed across the four samples over time for avoidant\, secure\, ambivalent\, and disorganized infants. Secure and insecure infants had different trajectories of cortisol reactivity and regulation. In line with previous research\, insecure\, specifically disorganized infants compared to securely attached infants displayed different patterns of cortisol reactivity\, suggesting these infants’ HPA axis is organized in a way that reflects the context of the insecure mother-infant relationship.

Bacteria don't have motors\, so how are they spatially organized? I will be discussing three members of the ParA/MinD family of ATPases that are part of self organizing systems that put things in their place in cells across the microbial world. I will first present the ATPase called ParA\, which is part of the most common DNA-segregation system in bacteria. ParA proteins form dynamic waves on the nucleoid to position chromosomes and plasmids in opposite cell-halves so that they are faithfully inherited after cell division. I will then discuss the ATPase called MinD\, which is part of a system that forms oscillatory waves on the inner membrane. The oscillation aligns cell division at mid-cell so that daughter cells are equal in size. Finally\, I will introduce a new member of this ATPase family we call McdA\, which is part of an organelle trafficking system in bacteria. Yes. Bacteria have organelles. Our work is shedding light on what seems to be a general mode of subcellular organization in bacteria – dynamic protein gradients surfing biological surfaces to impart positional information for a wide variety of fundamental biological processes. My new lab focuses on subcellular organization in bacteria with a strong emphasis towards reconstituting the self-organizing activities of these systems in a cell-free setup using purified and fluorescent labeled components. By visualizing the biochemistry driving self-organization outside the cell we are able to provide comprehensive molecular mechanisms that explain subcellular organization inside the cell.\n UID:45906-10324587@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45906 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170828T100938 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171023T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171023T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Understanding Mental Health Conditions and Creating an Emotionally Healthy Work Environment DESCRIPTION:Do you know that an estimated 1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness in their lifetime?

DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Christopher Newfield (University of California\, Santa Barbara) with response from Terrence J. McDonald (University of Michigan). Chaired by Dario Gaggio (University of Michigan).\n\nChristopher Newfield is professor of literature and American studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Much of his research is in critical university studies\, which links his enduring concern with humanities teaching to the study of how higher education continues to be re-shaped by industry and other economic forces. His most recent books on this subject are Unmaking the Public University: The Forty Year Assault on the Middle Class (Harvard University Press\, 2008)\, and Ivy and Industry: Business and the Making of the American University\, 1880-1980 (Duke University Press\, 2003). A new book on the post-2008 struggles of public universities to rebuild their social missions\, called The Great Mistake: How We Wrecked Public Universities and How We Can Fix Them\, was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2016. He also writes about American intellectual and social history (The Emerson Effect\, University of Chicago Press)\, and has co-edited Mapping Multiculturalism (University of Minnesota Press) with Avery F. Gordon. He blogs on higher education policy at Remaking the University\, and writes for the Huffington Post\, Inside Higher Ed\, and the Chronicle of Higher Education. He teaches courses in\nDetective Fiction\, Noir California\, Contemporary U.S. Literature\, Innovation Theory\, and English Majoring After College.\n\nTerrence J. McDonald became the director of the Bentley Historical Library in 2013 after serving as dean of the University of Michigan's College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts for ten years. He is also currently an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and professor of history. He joined the university faculty after receiving his PhD in American history from Stanford University. The mission of the Bentley Historical Library is to collect the materials for and promote the study of the histories of the University of Michigan and the State of Michigan. To encourage undergraduate students to use the university archives at the Bentley\, he has been teaching a course on the history of the university annually for the past three years.\n\nDario Gaggio is professor history and associate chair in the Department of History at the University of Michigan. His research and teaching focuses on modern Europe\, history and political economy\, modern Italy\, and environmental and agrarian history. He is the author of The Shaping of Tuscany: Landscape and Society between Tradition and Modernity (Cambridge University Press\, 2016) and In Gold We Trust: Social Capital and Economic Change in the Italian Jewelry Towns (Princeton University Press\, 2007).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

Human Rights and Medical Care in Times of Emergency DESCRIPTION:If access to healthcare is a human right\, what happens when disasters\, pandemics and armed conflict limit the care that can be provided? Who decides which patients are prioritized\, and how are those decisions made? What kind of care should be given to patients nearing the end-of-life when caregivers are overwhelmed with urgent conditions? While vast inequities already exist in healthcare systems\, emergencies often bring them into focus and can perpetuate them. This talk will highlight examples from a hospital cut off for days by the floodwaters from Hurricane Katrina\, where health professionals were later arrested on accusations of second degree murder\, and touch on complications to healthcare from this year's horrible hurricane season. We'll delve into the Ebola outbreak\, where the care provided varied sharply on lines of nationality\, and reach back to the Balkan wars of the 1990s\, when humanitarian health aid hid a lack of political will to confront a genocide.\n\nSheri Fink is the author of The New York Times bestselling book\, Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital (Crown\, 2013) about choices made in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. She is a correspondent at The New York Times\, where her and her colleagues' stories on the West Africa Ebola crisis were recognized with the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting\, the George Polk Award for health reporting\, and the Overseas Press Club Hal Boyle Award. Her story \"The Deadly Choices at Memorial\,\" co-published by ProPublica and The New York Times Magazine\, received a 2010 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting and a National Magazine Award for reporting. A former relief worker in disaster and conflict zones\, Fink received her MD and PhD from Stanford University. Her first book\, War Hospital: A True Story of Surgery and Survival (PublicAffairs)\, is about medical professionals under siege during the genocide in Srebrenica\, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Five Days at Memorial was the winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction\, the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for nonfiction\, the Ridenhour Book Prize\, the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize\, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize\, the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance Book Award\, the American Medical Writers Association Medical Book Award\, and the NASW Science in Society Journalism Book Award.\n\nSponsors: Department of Anthropology\, Institute for the Humanities\, International Policy Center\, Michigan Medicine Department of Epidemiology\, Office of Global Public Health\, Program in International and Comparative Studies.\n\nPhoto Credit: Jen Dessinger UID:40636-8658493@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40636 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Human Rights,International,Lecture LOCATION:Museum of Art - Museum Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171107T123015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171023T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171023T183000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:DigitasLBI Campus Program DESCRIPTION:DigitasLBi is looking for an inclusive group of up-and-coming talent to help us reshape the world of marketing and advertising.\n\nThe program has two tracks: one for rising college seniors (internship)\, and one for recent graduates (full time).

Stress-related disorders and diseases have been on the rise for decades according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. National surveys that assess how stressed and anxious we feel show a very similar pattern. And it shows up in our bodies\, even before we get sick: the “physiological stress load” that tracks key biological markers shows similar increases\, and is getting worse as each new age group enters adulthood. More children and youth may also be experiencing greater stress dysregulation and difficulties in coping\, owing to the lifelong impact of early life adversity that is tied biologically and psychologically to this epidemic. But research also shows how we can break this cycle\, both for individuals and families at every stage of development\, and for society more generally.\n \nDr. Keating is currently Professor of Psychology\, Psychiatry\, and Pediatrics\, and Research Professor in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. His current research focuses on the impact of early life adversity on child and youth development\, and on the neurodevelopmental pathways in adolescent risk behavior. His most recent book (2017\, St. Martins Press) is Born Anxious: The Lifelong Impact of Early Life Adversity – and How to Break the Cycle. \n\nThis program is part of the \"Exploring the Mind\" series and is cosponsored by The University of Michigan Department of Psychology.

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.

Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\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\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

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:42280-9593362@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:20171001T105837 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: PRACTICE SESSION #5 DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on view October 23 -27\n\"Practice Sessions\" is part of the University of Michigan's \"Third Century Initiative\,\" which funds experimental pedagogies in a bid to change how teaching and learning happen within the bounds of the institution.

Instead\, invitees are called to work in an experimental mode\, where everything is subject to the pressures of practice on design: the design of the session topic\, the design of the work space where the session is held\, the design of the way the session itself occupies the institution of Taubman College\, and the design of the thing(s) produced by the practice session.\nPractice Session #5 Opening lecture is on Friday\, October 20\, featuring Débora Mesa and Antón García-Abril\;\nThe workshop runs from October 21-22.

Looking into questions like: What were the cultural norms for women during Jesus’ life? Was Jesus a feminist? What do Paul’s letter to the Romans and John’s Gospel tell us about early women disciples? \n\nThen we will discuss women’s roles in the very early Christian communities up to about 300 A.D. The New Testament will be used as well as several other references. There will be time for questions and discussion and some possibly surprising revelations. An outline and list of references will be provided. Over the past 50 years there has been a wealth of academic and research interest in these topics and well over 100 books have been written.\n\nInstructor Peggy Clough will lead this study group for those 50 and above for two hours on Tuesdays October 24 and 31.

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

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

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

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

As UM celebrates its Bicentennial year\, this exhibition asked how past traditions\, tensions\, and technologies left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By juxtaposing rarely examined aspects of the historical university and radical designs for an unrealized present\, “Persistent Pasts” prompted visitors to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be\, architecturally and institutionally. This talk revisits the experience of designing and teaching this course as an opportunity to think critically about two principle questions with ramifications for both humanists and architects. First\, what particular skills\, tools\, and techniques do architects bring to both the processes and objects of archival research? And second\, what are the implications of teaching a design-build course with a public-facing\, museological final project? We will also discuss ongoing efforts to create an afterlife for the exhibition as an immersive digital humanities project\, interrogating the possibilities and challenges of translating a predominantly physical exhibition into an exclusively digital setting.

Hou is also a finalist in the Linguistic Society of America's Five-Minute Linguist competition.\n\nWhen looks count: the function and distribution of LOOK-AT in American Sign Language\nLynn Hou (UCSD)\n\nIn this paper\, I analyze the function and distribution of the ASL verb look-at in a dataset of 14h 15m of naturalistic ASL\, using a construction-theoretic\, usage-based approach. The data come from videos posted on the Internet\, grouped into three genres: face-to-face conversations\, monologues\, and news reportage from an ASL radio show\, The Daily Moth.\n\nThe dataset yielded 800 tokens of look-at. There is much morpho-phonological variation among look-at tokens. I coded tokens both for their lexico-grammatical function (‘look at’\, ‘observe’\, ‘look down on’\, etc.) and for their phonetic properties (handshape\, use of one or two hands\, path movement\, repetition\, English mouthing\, type of facial expressions).\n\nTokens with path movement patterns are often two-handed\, and are typically associated with physical acts of looking at a referent or the state of affairs\; they also map onto cognitive states such as admiration\, contempt\, anticipation\, and retrospection. Many look-at tokens occur with reduced path movement or without path movement altogether\; these signs appear in contexts relating to the signer’s subjective experience\, whether understanding\, thinking about\, or reacting to a situation. These subjective verbs are often accompanied by affective facial expressions\, are prototypically one-handed\, and are often signed with the thumb abducted.\n\nMany tokens of subjective look-at are followed by another cognitive verb such as the reaction sign oh-i-see and feel or a clausal complement analogous to subordinating BE- like [“and I was like?”] in colloquial English. I propose this variant of look-at has been grammaticalized from a perception verb to a cognition verb. This is reflected not only in its specialized semantics and distribution. i.e.\, introduces clausal complements with affective facial expressions\, but also in its reduced form\, i.e.\, no path movement\, thumb abducted\, one-handed. This finding is in line with the robust tendency for phonetic reduction and semantic shift to differentially affect high-frequency words.

When Barbour first traveled throughout Asia\, he met several women who had studied at the University of Michigan and then returned home to aid their countries’ development. Barbour wanted to provide the same opportunity for more women\, who frequently faced obstacles to advancement in their home countries\, to receive a western education. The Barbour Scholarship has survived through a highly dynamic century that has seen dramatic changes in the relationships between the United States and the home countries of many Barbour Scholars\, the rise of globalism\, and incredible innovations across many fields of study. Join us for a conversation amongst Barbour Scholars whose experiences span decades and fields of study. Please email rackham.alums@umich.edu with questions or for more information. \n\nBarbour alumnae and current Scholars will participate in a panel to share their experiences traveling across the globe to earn a University of Michigan education. Participants will include Dr. Meera Sampath (Electrical Engineering)\, Dr. Heasook Rhee (Music Performance)\, and Dr. Wing Li (Mathematics). Current student participants will include Amrita Dhar (English Language and Literature) and Niloufar Emami (Architecture)\, both of whom are doctoral candidates These women will provide a small snapshot of the realization of Levi Barbour's vision of opportunity and a truly global experience.\n\nThe panel precedes a networking event for current Barbour Scholars and alumnae.\n\nIf you are interested in attending\, please register here: myumi.ch/6xPz9 UID:41552-9358897@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/41552 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Asia,Bicentennial,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Rackham,umich200 LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Fourth Floor Amphitheatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171024T182234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Controlling Electronic Structure and Correlations in Artificial Quantum Materials DESCRIPTION:Our ability to control the electronic structure of materials\, for instance at semiconductor interfaces\, has had enormous scientific and technological implications. Recently\, this concept has been extended to materials which possess inherently strong quantum many-body interactions\, such as strongly correlated transition metal oxides\, allowing us to synthesize artificial heterostructures which can harbor novel electronic or magnetic properties. The ability to deterministically manipulate the strength of electron correlations or the electronic band structure will be critical to designing new materials with novel properties. I will describe some examples of our recent work in thin films of nickelates (LaNiO3) and ruthenates (the odd-parity superconductor Sr2RuO4)\, and how we have used both epitaxial strain as well as dimensional confinement in atomically thin films to control the strength of electronic correlations\, the electronic band structure\, the Fermi surface topology\, and drive a metal-insulator transition. These new insights could someday enable deterministic control over the emergent properties of quantum materials. \n UID:42189-9584877@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42189 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171016T141636 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop with Emilie Diouf (Brandeis University) DESCRIPTION:With the best of intentions governmental and nongovernmental humanitarian advocacy groups assemble and collect stories of suffering in order to inform their claims for restoration. They collect trauma narratives for the purpose of supporting their interventions into nations and communities. But they also collect and disseminate these stories to acquire funding and political capital in order to promote their own institutional security even as they promote human dignity in their practices (James 2004). As a result of advocacy against HIV/AIDS\, Female Genital Mutilation\, and armed conflict in particular\, African women’s stories of trauma have often been interpreted and showcased as evidence of extreme gender based abuses in the global rights discourse. How do we ethically empathize with the suffering of women across nations and cultures whose gendering processes are different and who are racialized\, remains an exegetical question for both feminist and trauma studies as well as humanitarian work and policies. I suggest that cross-cultural solidarity can only happen if there is a willingness to ethically translate African women’s traumatic experiences. I argue that ethical translation of pain takes into consideration the intersubjective dimension of trauma narration and considers the cultural\, social\, and political locations of African women as well as the subjects who bear witness to their testimonies.

Atlantic History Initiative - Antiracism in Cuba: The Unfinished Revolution DESCRIPTION:How do racism and antiracism coexist? How do we fight against racism in a racist world? What are the lessons learned from the 1959 Cuban Revolution? Analyzing the ideology and rhetoric around race in Cuba and south Florida during the early years of the Cuban revolution\, Dr. Devyn Spence Benson answers these questions in her book Antiracism in Cuba: The Unfinished Revolution. She examines how ideas\, stereotypes\, and discriminatory practices relating to racial difference persisted despite major efforts by the Cuban state to generate social equality. This talk examines 1960s government programs and campaigns against discrimination\, showing how such programs frequently negated their efforts by reproducing racist images and idioms in revolutionary propaganda\, cartoons\, and school materials. \n \nDr. Devyn Spence Benson is an Assistant Professor of Africana and Latin American Studies at Davidson College. She is a historian of 19th-20th century Latin America with a focus on race and revolution in Cuba. She is the author of published articles and reviews in the Hispanic American Historical Review\, Journal of Cuban Studies\, Journal of Transnational American Studies\, and PALARA: Publication of the Afro-Latin / American Research Association. Benson's book\, Antiracism in Cuba: The Unfinished Revolution (UNC Press\, 2016) is based on over 18 months of field research in Cuba where she has traveled annually since 2003.

A minority opinion even goes so far as to claim that the androgynus is sui generis. But does this definition\, or even the Tosefta’s attempt at creating a halakhic framework for the androgynus\, constitute “providing a means for integrating the androgynus into mainstream culture?” This lecture explores the question\, “does the category of androgynus as defined by Tosefta Bikkurim offer us a new look at gender\, or does it\, once again\, confine us to a binary system of male and female?” This will be explored through an examination of the halakhic status of the androgynus\, as well as through a literary reading of the text itself.\n\nImage: © Sharon Gershoni\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

S. Eliot\, D. H. Lawrence\, E. M. Forster and the Year That Changed Literature\, published by Henry Holt on August 15\, 2017.\n\nWilla Cather wrote in 1936\, \"The world broke in two in 1922 or thereabouts.\" The publication of James Joyce's UIysses in February and T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land in October quickly gave 1922 a privileged place in the history of literary modernism. But for Woolf\, Eliot\, Lawrence and Forster\, the literary apocalypse of 1922 had less to do with publication dates than with the personal and creative challenges explored in this talk.\n\nAt the start of the year\, each was a writer in deep despair about an uncertain creative future. By the end of the year each had done work that transformed them as writers: Woolf had written \"Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street\,\" the story that grew into the novel Mrs. Dalloway\; Forster had made his first substantial progress in nearly a decade on the novel that would become A Passage to India\; Lawrence wrote his most experimental and autobiographical novel Kangaroo\; and Eliot had completed and published The Waste Land -- though the drama of the year for him had less to do with the poem's appearance than with how close he had come to not finishing it or having it published at all. Key to what these writers wrote is what they read\, in particular Joyce's Ulysses\, but even more crucially\, Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu\, a substantial -- and immediate -- influence on Woolf and Forster that The World Broke in Two delineates for the first time.\n\nGoldstein will discuss\, among other issues\, how the specters of Ulysses\, In Search of Lost Time and The Waste Land itself shaped Woolf's ideas of form and structure\; why the seizure of Lawrence's Women in Love by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice in July 1922 led to a landmark legal decision prefiguring the decision in the Ulysses case a decade later\; and how\, most significantly\, the lingering impact of World War One on English life is reflected in the work this quartet of writers did in 1922.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Library\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, the U-M Department of English Language and Literature\, the Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshops on Critical Contemporary Studies and Pre-Professional Humanists\, and Literati Bookstore.

At the root of this problem lie the dual issues of limited fossil fuel supplies and rising CO2 levels\, both of which threaten severe ecological damage. On a more pragmatic note\, however\, our entire society has been built around facile access to liquid fuels. Thus\, any solution to this predicament requires an end product that can be easily assimilated into the current infrastructure.\n\nIn contrast to anthropogenic methods\, nature has evolved diverse systems to carry out energy conversion reactions. Many\, including metalloenzymes such as hydrogenase\, carbon monoxide dehydrogenase\, and acetyl coenzyme A synthase\, can reversibly generate and oxidize small-molecule fuels such as hydrogen and CO. These processes are implicated in chemoautotrophic origins of life and play a key role in the metabolisms of ancient bacteria and archaea. However\, while these enzymes are highly functional within their native environment\, most are costly to isolate\, sensitive to external conditions\, and generally poorly suited for large-scale application. Additionally\, the multimetallic active sites and auxiliary cofactors obscure distinguishing spectroscopic features and render detailed analyses challenging. As a result\, the molecular mechanisms of catalysis remain relatively poorly understood\, thwarting efforts to build biomimetic synthetic systems that act with the efficacy of native enzymes. \n\nWe have approached this problem from a metalloprotein engineering perspective. Azurin and rubredoxin are two of the most well studied proteins within the bioinorganic community. Both are robust platforms\, known for their unique spectroscopic features and representative coordination geometries. By introducing non-native metals and redesigning the primary and secondary coordination spheres\, we have been able to install novel activity into these simple electron transfer proteins. Recent results will be presented demonstrating catalytic hydrogen evolution\, carbon dioxide fixation\, and carbon monoxide activation in these repurposed bioinorganic scaffolds. Optical\, vibrational\, and magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques have been used in conjunction with density functional theory calculations to probe the active-site structures across different states\, with the intent of characterizing the catalytic mechanisms. These findings will be discussed in the context of identifying the fundamental principles underlying highly active native enzymes and applying those principles towards engineering effective model metalloproteins for energy conversion reactions. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nHannah Shafaat (Ohio State University) UID:40107-8470407@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40107 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CHEM CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170927T080701 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171024T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Boren Awards Information Session DESCRIPTION:Boren Awards provide undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships to study a wide range of critical languages in world areas underrepresented in study abroad to those committed to public service. \n\nJoin U-M campus representatives as they discuss opportunities\, and review the awards and application process.

The rich cultural history of Detroit is hugely influential in Yates’ work and has been since his teenage years\, when he became friends and artistic collaborators with musician George Clinton. He received his BFA from the University of Michigan in 1995 before moving to Los Angeles to study with Mike Kelley\, Mayo Thompson\, and Liz Larner in the MFA program at Art Center in Pasadena. Yates formed 'Fast Friends Inc.' a collaborative project to disseminate art outside the conventional gallery system and to distribute the work on the artist’s own terms. Chris Kraus writes in Where Art Belongs: “Yates is an exceptional artist.” For six years as Fast Friends Inc.\, he created band posters for Ariel Pink\, Matt Fishbeck (of the band Holy Shit)\, and others that are also original art works.\n\nThis University of Michigan Bicentennial event is presented with additional support from Wasserman Projects wand the University of Michigan Museum of Art.\n\nVisit umma.umich.edu/events to learn more!

The present talk uses them to determine the range of strategies used in the social construction of urban territoriality. Analysis is based on texts written by local Gentile authors\, Czech and German\, but also on nostalgic descriptions by Jewish authors who were actually born in the Jewish Town. Based on this\, a contrast between insiders and outsiders\, or participation and observation\, can be worked out. Other perspectives revolve around the concept of the border and its subversion.\n\nThe event will start at 6:30pm with a light supper followed by the presentation at 7pm.

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.

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:43032-9696898@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:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171025T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171025T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\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\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

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:42280-9593363@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:20171009T143303 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171025T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171025T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:ECRC Cookies & Careers: Biomedical Engineering DESCRIPTION:Biomedical Engineering students\, join the Engineering Career Resource Center for free cookies!

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

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

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

This information can be leveraged to construct these amplitudes directly\, by putting together an ansatz of the relevant class of functions and requiring that it share the distinctive properties of a given amplitude. In this talk\, I will describe how this bootstrap-type approach can be used to uniquely determine all six-particle amplitudes in this theory through (at least) five loops\, focusing on how these methods make transparent the Steinmann relations and bear out the predictions of cosmic Galois theory. I will also discuss how these methods can be generalized to quantities of direct relevance to particle physics experiments.

A series of studies on predictive learning suggests that introducing longer temporal distance and lower probability between the predictor and the outcome\, as well as between the learning experience and its anticipated application increases generalization breadth. I also show some evidence suggesting that people extract broader\, more general lessons from narratives that are more spatio-temporally distal and hypothetical. A series of studies on decision making suggests that people seek to obtain more and broader experience when they face a more abstract question\, as well as when they make decisions that are more distal in time and when they advise others rather than make decisions for themselves. I discuss these lines of research within the broader context of questions about how people regulate themselves with respect to distal and proximal targets.

Like many regional folksongs in China whose origins were mostly unknown\, molihua exists throughout the region in numerous versions. The molihua that most people know today was collected and documented by British diplomats George MaCartney and John Barrow presented in his book Travel in China in late 18th century. Puccini’s incorporation of it in his opera Turandot in 1924\, further consolidated the tune’s global reputation. Since then\, molihua has emerged as the most well-known Chinese musical and cultural icon at home and abroad. This presentation traces the brief history of molihua and describes the different ways that it was being utilized. Dr. Lau argues hat the shifting meaning of molihua is predicated on what molihua represents against the ever-changing economic and political context of China since the new millennium. \n\nFrederick Lau is an ethnomusicologist\, flutist\, and conductor whose scholarly interests include a broad range of topics in Chinese\, Western\, and Asian music and cultures. He is author of Music in China (Oxford 2008) and co-editor of Making Waves: Traveling Musics in Asia and the Pacific (Uiversity of Hawaii Press\, forthcoming)\, Vocal Music and Cultural Identity in Contemporary Music: Unlimited Voices in East Asia and the West (Routledge 2013)\, Locating East Asia in Western Art Music (Wesleyan 2004). Lau is editor of the book series entitled Music and Performing Arts of Asia and the Pacific\, University of Hawaii Press. Currently\, he is the chair and professor of Ethnomusicology and director of the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

DESCRIPTION:U. S. federal income tax policies include a large number of provisions widely known as tax breaks or tax loopholes. More specifically they come in the form of deductions\, credits\, exclusions and preferential rates. They have the effect of significantly reducing the income taxes paid (i.e.\, the effective tax rate) by individuals and corporations. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates in 2017 all tax breaks combined will amount to $1.6 trillion. \n\nThis study group for those 50 and over will focus on the political psychology of these tax breaks: the attitudes and behaviors of individuals\, interest groups\, political parties and policymakers in the public policymaking process. Discussion of a large number of specific tax breaks will be included. Information on tax breaks will be distributed by the instructor to provide a foundation for the sessions. \nInstructor Craig Ramsay is an Emeritus Professor of Politics and Government at Ohio Wesleyan University who taught about the politics of economic policymaking for four decades. This study group will meet for two hours on Wednesday’s from October 25 through November 15.

In its fourth assessment report (AR4)\, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declined to include estimates of future sea-level change from dynamics of the polar ice sheets due to the inability of ice sheet models to mimic or explain observed dynamic behaviors\, such as the acceleration and thinning then occurring on several of Greenland’s large outlet glaciers [2]. In recent years\, there has been a push to develop “next generation” land-ice models and codes for integration into global Earth System Models (ESMs). Unlike their predecessors\, these codes: (1) are able to perform realistic\, high-resolution\, continental scale simulations\, (2) are robust\, efficient and scalable on next-generation hybrid systems (multi-core\, many-core\, GPU\, Intel Xeon Phi)\, and (3) possess built-in advanced analysis capabilities (e.g.\, sensitivity analysis\, optimization\, uncertainty quantification). This talk will give an overview of the Albany/FELIX (Finite Elements for Land Ice eXperiments) [3] next-generation land-ice dynamical core (dycore) that is under development at Sandia National Laboratories as a part of a Department of Energy (DOE) SciDAC-funded project aimed at providing probabilistic sea-level projections from extreme-scale ice sheet and earth system models. This dycore is currently being integrated in to the DOE’s Acelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME)\, which will be used to calculate anticipated 21st sea-level change projections\, including uncertainty bounds. It is widely accepted that land-ice behaves like a very viscous\, shear-thinning\, non-Newtonian fluid\, similar to lava flow. Typically\, ice sheets are modeled using a quasi-static model in which a steady momentum-balance system for the ice velocities is coupled to dynamic equations for the ice thickness and temperature. The Albany/FELIX dycore is based on the so-called “First-Order Stokes” equations for the ice momentum balance [4]\, an attractive alternative to the more expensive “Full Stokes” model because of its reduced computational cost. Following an overview of our land-ice model and project\, I will describe some of the algorithms and software we have developed as a part of this project that have contributed to our dycore’s robustness and scalability. These include: robust automatic-differentiation-based nonlinear solvers\, scalable algebraic-multigrid-based iterative linear solvers [5]\, adaptive mesh refinement capabilities\, and stable semi-implicit First-Order Stokes-thickness coupling methods. I will also discuss some of the advanced analysis capabilities in Albany/FELIX\, namely a large-scale inversion approach we have developed for obtaining optimal ice initial conditions [6]\, our workflow towards quantifying uncertainties in land-ice models\, and performance-portability of the Albany/FELIX code to new and emerging architectures using the Kokkos library [7]. I will show results which demonstrate that the Albany/FELIX dycore is scalable\, fast and robust for production-scale land-ice problems on state-of-the-art HPC machines. I will also discuss results from a recent validation study in which Albany/FELIX was used to simulate the Greenland ice sheet during the period 1991-2013 with realistic climate forcing\, and the simulation data were compared with observational data collected by NASA satellites [8]\n\nBio: Dr. Irina Tezaur (f.k.a.

The newfound signaling pathways may provide new ways to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens and to enhance the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy treatments. However\, critical questions remain about the biochemistry of the signaling enzymes and cell biology of the signals themselves. Tackling these questions requires tracking nucleotide-based signaling molecules in the complex environment of the cell\, which poses a difficult molecular recognition challenge.\nMy lab has taken a structure-based design coupled to high-throughput screening approach and was among the first to develop RNA-based fluorescent biosensors\, or RBF biosensors\, for live cell imaging. Our biosensors exhibit remarkable specificity and affinity for nucleotide-based signals\, are the brightest to date in live cell imaging studies\, and can be rationally reprogrammed to sense new ligands. In this seminar\, I will present the design principles that enable effective allosteric coupling of ligand binding to fluorescence activation of a small molecule chromophore. We have demonstrated performing\, in essence\, in vivo biochemistry experiments to track dynamic effects of endogenous chemical cues and inhibitor compounds on enzyme activity in live bacteria. This approach has revealed a new strategy to combat antibiotic resistance. We also have applied these biosensors to make several biological discoveries\, including a signaling pathway that regulates how some bacteria interact with redox reactive surfaces. Finally\, I will describe another broad application for these biosensors\, as novel high-throughput screening assays for promising enzyme targets in cancers and autoimmune diseases. \n \n \n \n \nMing Hammond (UC Berkeley) UID:44181-9891993@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44181 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171023T120014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171025T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171025T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Methods (ISQM): Text Preprocessing for Unsupervised Learning: Why It Matters\, When It Misleads\, and What to Do about It DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nDespite the popularity of unsupervised techniques for political science text-as-data research\, the importance and implications of preprocessing decisions in this domain have received scant systematic attention. Yet\, as we show\, such decisions have profound effects on the results of real models for real data. We argue that substantive theory is typically too vague to be of use for feature selection\, and that the supervised literature is not necessarily a helpful source of advice. To aid researchers working in unsupervised settings\, we introduce a statistical procedure and software that examines the sensitivity of findings under alternate preprocessing regimes. This approach complements a researcher's substantive understanding of a problem by providing a characterization of the variability changes in preprocessing choices may induce when analyzing a particular dataset. In making scholars aware of the degree to which their results are likely to be sensitive to their preprocessing decisions\, it aids replication efforts.

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.

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:43032-9696899@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:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\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\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

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:42280-9593364@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:20170922T111347 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T150000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"The Campus of the Future\": Design Showcase DESCRIPTION:A yearlong competition\, \"The Campus of the Future\,\" asks students to collaborate on projects that reimagine methods and spaces for teaching and learning at a residential research university.

However\, there was no major breakthrough in advanced fiber development since the last carbon fiber introduction by the Japanese more than three decades ago. Classical manufacturing techniques for ultrahigh-performance polymer fibers rely on combination of high polymer crystallinity and high degree of macromolecular alignment to achieve superior mechanical properties. As a consequence\, advanced fibers such as Kevlar and Spectra possess extraordinary strength but low strain to failure (<3%) and therefore low toughness. Our recent analysis of electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers (NFs) in the ultrafine (100-250 nm) diameter range (~100 times thinner than conventional advanced fibers) showed extraordinary simultaneous increases in strength\, modulus\, AND toughness. Finest nanofilaments exhibited strength on the par with the best advanced fibers while exceeding their toughness by more than an order of magnitude. Structural investigations showed that this unique and highly desirable mechanical behavior may be due to high degree of macromolecular alignment in conjunction with low crystallinity. We have demonstrated that it is possible to further improve NF mechanical properties by changing nanomanufacturing parameters. Reduction in crystallinity of nanofibers achieved through modified processing resulted in further increases in strain to failure and toughness. Remarkably\, it has also resulted in improvements in NF strength and modulus that were attributed to improved polymer chain alignment as a result of increased drawability. Notably\, the major improvements in mechanical properties were observed in the intermediate (250-500 nm) diameter range. NFs with these larger diameters are easier to produce and handle\, simplifying the upscaling of the nanomanufacturing process. Reported dramatic (2-3 orders of magnitude) simultaneous improvements in mechanical properties of NFs can lead to inexpensive\, simultaneously strong and tough materials for safety critical applications. The proposed structural explanation of the newly discovered NF mechanical behavior challenges the prevailing paradigm in advanced fiber development calling for high polymer crystallinity and can lead to the entirely new class of advanced fibers with ultrahigh toughness\, in addition to strength. Such fibers can ultimately result in ultralight structures with the strength higher than carbon-epoxy composites (the current state-of-the-art) but much higher toughness rivaling that of metals. Recent results on bionanofibers and carbon\, as well as applications of these fibers in hierarchical supercomposites and biomedicine are also discussed.

This new engineering methodology comprehensively incorporates aero-thermal-chemical processes relevant to nozzles and other high-temperature components\, making it possible\, for the first time\, to rigorously capture the strong interactions and interdependencies that exist between the reacting flowfield and the ablating material. By basing thermal protection system engineering more firmly on first principles\, improved analysis accuracy can be achieved.\n\nThis computational framework couples a multi-species\, reacting flow solver to a two-dimensional material response solver. Five different treatments of the surface energy balance at the ablating wall\, with increasing levels of fidelity\, are investigated. The Integrated Equilibrium Surface Chemistry treatment computes the surface energy balance and recession rate directly from the diffusive fluxes at the ablating wall\, without making transport coefficient or unity Lewis number assumptions\, or requiring pre-computed surface thermochemistry tables. This method can inherently account for the effects that recession\, wall temperature\, blowing\, and the presence of ablation product species in the boundary layer have on the flowfield and ablation response. As a result\, improved agreement with experimental surface recession data is obtained.\n\nPublications\n\nPeer-Reviewed Journal Article:\nPeter G. Cross and Iain D.

She was born and raised in Cuba\, from where she immigrated with her family. Her work seeks to understand the causes and consequences of immigration as a historical process that forms and transforms persons and nations. She is the author of three books and numerous articles.\n\nIn this talk Professor Pedraza traces the changing relationship of the church and state during the Cuban revolution. Over the course of nearly 60 years\, the Cuban revolution has had several distinct relationships to the Church\, ranging from open confrontation and silencing to incorporation. Changing its definition from an atheist society in the early years of the revolution to a secular society now\, today it is more possible to be religious and to practice one’s faith in Cuba than it was earlier in this half century.\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is Cuba: Our Neighbor in Transition. The next lecture series will start November 2\, 2017. The title is The Common People in Modern Politics.

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.

Such a high proportion of dynasties in a developed democracy is unusual\, and has sparked concerns over whether the democratic processes in Japan are working properly. In his forthcoming book\, Dynasties and Democracy: The Inherited Incumbency Advantage in Japan\, Smith introduces a comparative theory to explain the persistence of dynastic politics in democracies like Japan\, focusing in particular on electoral rules and party recruitment processes. Original legislator-level data from twelve democracies and candidate-level data from Japan are used to explore the implications of this theory for candidate selection\, election\, and cabinet promotion\, as well as the consequences of dynasties for democratic representation. \n \nDaniel M. Smith is Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at Harvard University\, where he is also affiliated with the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies\, the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs\, the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, and the Institute for Quantitative Social Science. His research focuses on the impact of political institutions\, especially electoral systems and candidate selection processes\, on aspects of democratic representation and behavior in Japan and Western Europe.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.

In three studies\, using large representative data sets and community samples\, I show that people who experience cultural fit behave in healthier ways and have physiological markers that indicate lower risk for cardiovascular disease. First\, looking at fit with one’s national culture\, I show that Americans who fit the mainstream American cultural norm of independence and Japanese who fit the mainstream Japanese cultural norm of interdependence eat a healthier diet. Next\, I turn to comparisons of groups within a country. I demonstrate that higher SES individuals who are more independent—that is\, who fit with norms in higher SES contexts—and lower SES individuals who are more interdependent—that is\, who fit with norms in lower SES contexts—have lower levels of allostatic load\, a marker of biological risk across multiple systems in the body. Finally\, I extend the operationalization of fit beyond the distinction between independence and interdependence by showing that students of color\, whom previous research shows tend to value diversity\, are healthier when they attend schools that value diversity. Specifically\, they have fewer metabolic syndrome signs and lower levels of inflammation\, both indicators of decreased cardiovascular disease risk. Across diverse settings with different indicators of health\, these studies highlight the previously unexplored role of cultural fit in health and suggest that interventions to improve cultural fit may help to reduce health disparities.

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter\, David Fahrenthold of The Washington Post\, offers suggestions for both reporters and news consumers on navigating this new era. He will discuss how journalists can open up their own reporting process through social media\, show the public the work that underlies their stories and invite readers in as collaborators. \n\nDuring the 2016 presidential campaign\, Fahrenthold used social media to follow-up on Donald Trump’s pledge to donate money to veterans groups. Posting his reporter’s notes on Twitter to solicit leads\, Fahrenthold uncovered Trump’s questionable charitable practices and found no evidence that Trump donated money to veterans groups as he’d claimed. Fahrenthold was also the first reporter to reveal the existence of the “Access Hollywood” 2005 video in which Trump bragged about groping women. For his series of stories\, Fahrenthold won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.\n\nA graduate of Harvard\, Fahrenthold has been at The Washington Post since 2000. There he reports on President Trump’s businesses and conflicts of interest. He previously covered the Washington\, D.C.\, police\, the environment\, New England\, Congress and the federal bureaucracy for the paper.

The mission’s main goal is to collect samples from this primitive body and return them to Earth. Supporting scientific goals are to fully explore that asteroid’s physical and geophysical environment. The mission marks an important step in the continued robotic exploration of asteroids\, a larger endeavor motivated by the scientific study and exploration of the solar system and the protection of society against future hazardous asteroid impactors.\n\nTo carry out such endeavors involves significant challenges for the dynamics and control of spacecraft. For example\, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft at Bennu will implement an entirely new approach to orbital mechanics in the asteroid environment. The successful implementation of these close proximity operations will usher in a new capability for the exploration of these bodies. \n\nThis talk will discuss the technical challenges and state of the art of spacecraft operations in the asteroid environment. It will also give a preview of the OSIRIS-REx mission and discuss the extreme and exciting orbital dynamics environment in which that spacecraft will operate.\n \nAbout the speaker...\nDaniel J. Scheeres is a University of Colorado Distinguished Professor and is the A. Richard Seebass Endowed Chair Professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. He currently leads the Radio Science experiment on NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission.

The level at which morpheme types are elected may affect their distribution in surface level constructions\; that is\, there is a contrast between morphemes that convey more semantic/pragmatic information from those realizing hierarchical structures. Such differences may also lie behind the preferences for selecting one language over another in some structures in some bilingual data. I look especially at codeswitching\, but also consider examples from borrowing across languages and discuss briefly mixed languages and creole development. I will be referring to an Asymmetry Principle and the Matrix Language Frame (MLF) model\, but more to the 4-M model of morpheme classification. I will present several hypotheses that seem to explain some surface distributions.

The long-term goal of the presented work is to understand the molecular design rules that control nanoparticle toxicity using aspects of materials science (nanoparticle design\, fabrication\, and modification)\, analytical chemistry (developing new assays to monitor nanotoxicity)\, and ecology (monitoring how nanoparticles enter and accumulate in the food web through bacteria and how these nanoparticles influence bacterial function). Taken together\, these data suggest that careful consideration of engineered nanoparticle surface chemistry will likely allow design of safe and sustainable nanoscale materials. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nChristy Haynes (University of Minnesota) UID:40779-8750075@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40779 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180214T162457 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Self- and species recognition in brood parasitic birds DESCRIPTION:Avian brood parasites have provided a long-standing and popular model system for the experimental analysis of self- and species-recognition\, which are essential for most critical aspects of social behavior. Specifically\, when faced with a nest containing own and foreign eggs\, the foremost question is how individuals discriminate themselves (their own eggs) from others (foreign eggs) by utilizing each of their recognition system’s components: perception\, cognition\, and response. An overview of advances in the experimental analyses of hosts' egg rejection behaviors is presented here. Such studies provide detailed information for our understanding of the evolutionary impacts of parasitic birds on hosts’ cognitive processes and behavioral outcomes in the context of self- and species-recognition.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/-HhMUOx_aIg UID:42294-9593430@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42294 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170830T145557 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Examining Your Political Identity DESCRIPTION:How has your political identity been shaped?

As the earliest constructed\, longest lived\, and best preserved Mycenaean palace\, Pylos holds a unique position in Late Bronze Age archaeology with audience halls\, archive rooms\, stunning wall paintings\, and thousands of Linear B tablets. The archaeological data from the cemeteries also sets it apart from the other palaces: Pylos is the only palace with cemeteries nearby that have been excavated using modern methods and are well-recorded. Yet\, to date the vast richness of data available in the tombs has not been mined fully. Through a detailed examination of the tombs and their contents my study changes our understanding of how the Pylian state was formed\; it elucidates how Pylos differed from other Mycenaean societies\; it refines the complex relationship between Pylos and the greater Mediterranean world\; and it demonstrates how the community manipulated funerary rituals to create social prestige and power.

Her poems have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies\, including the New Yorker\, the Paris Review\, and the New York Times Magazine\, and she has been awarded fellowships from the Library of Congress and Stanford University\, among other awards. A former attorney\, she now teaches poetry at Princeton University and at the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers. She previously taught at Bennington College\, Columbia University\, and at the Sarah Lawrence College MFA Program. Youn’s poetry has been described as “interested in the intersection between the beauty we want in life\, and the darkness that often serves as an invisible barrier for it\,” with her background in law allowing her to “probe and navigate these gray areas gently\, using an economy of language that both cuts to the heart of the matter and reveals nuanced layers of caution\, lust\, and desperation.”\n\nOne of the most prolific American writers of the 20th century\, Joyce Carol Oates counts historical biographies\, depictions of working class families\, and magical realist Gothic fiction among her oeuvre. She often depicts hardships and violence in American towns\, and has received both critical and popular acclaim in her 50-year career. Oates is the author of over 70 books\, including the novels them (1969)\, winner of the National Book Award\; Bellefleur (1980)\; You Must Remember This (1987)\; Because It Is Bitter\, and Because It Is My Heart (1990)\; We Were the Mulvaneys (1996)\; Blonde (2000)\, winner of the National Book Award\; The Gravedigger’s Daughter (2007)\; and The Accursed (2013). Her short stories and essays have appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, and Harper’s\, and have been widely anthologized. In an interview for the Paris Review\, she says: “I try to write books that can be read in one way by a literal-minded reader\, and in quite another way by a reader alert to symbolic abbreviation and parodistic elements. And yet\, it's the same book—or nearly.

Sometimes the reason is\, you’re not as clever as you think you are\, and you make bad decisions. Conventional wisdom dictates that the more we know about the problems and opportunities we face\, the better our decisions about them will be. Sadly\, this conventional wisdom tends not to be terribly wise. Over the course of this talk\, Professor Árvai will try to convince you that the more we can learn about how we actually make decisions\, the better we’ll be at it.

Yet in addiction\, these processes go awry. Recent findings indicate that “liking” for intense pleasure is generated by a frail and tiny network in the brain\, whereas “wanting” for pleasures has a much more robust and larger brain generating network. In addiction\, hyper-reactive brain systems can create intense “wants” even in absence of any “liking.” UID:45404-10172700@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45404 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Bicentennial,Discussion,umich200 LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171004T105002 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171026T183000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Feast of Ideas DESCRIPTION:Choosing the right medication for someone is often based on prescriber preference and not what might be most effective for the patient. This practice often leads to a trial and error sort of practice for finding a medication that works. The field of pharmacogenomics occurs at the intersection of genetics\, pharmacology\, and clinical pharmacy. Using data from a patient’s genetic analysis\, clinicians are able to better predict which medication to use for certain gene/drug pairs\, which may lead to fewer medication-related side effects\, and overall better treatment outcomes. To do this currently\, all patients would need to undergo this testing\, which can be very expensive. Therefore\, working to better identify those patients who would benefit from this testing the most needs to be done.

Using examples from animal models\, human clinical samples\, and human population studies we will examine how many common compounds\, such as bisphenol A (BPA)\, plasticizers\, and metals\, may have deleterious consequences through abnormal epigenetic and genetic regulation. We will also discuss how unlike genetic mutations\, which are static and non-modifiable\, epigenetic programming is dynamic and potentially modifiable\, allowing for intervention approaches to improve health.

Mathematical modeling is a rapidly growing area of infectious disease epidemiology with growing impact on decision-making and policy. In this talk\, Professor Eisenberg will explore how mathematical models can be used to help forecast and design control strategies in the context of cholera\, a waterborne intestinal infection that causes 3-5 million cases/year and over 100\,000 deaths/year. She will discuss recent work modeling cholera epidemics in Haiti\, Angola\, and in Maela refugee camp in Thailand. She will examine some of the challenges when connecting models with data\, and talk about some of the new developments in blending mathematics\, statistics\, and computation to improve public health.

Presently\, understanding of sepsis is limited\, which has made its treatment very challenging. In fact\, presently\, there are no effective drug treatments for sepsis. We are using the measurement of small molecules (signals) in the blood to better understand sepsis and determine how changes in the levels of these signals reflect response to drugs. This field called metabolomics\, is also helping us identify new drug target opportunities so we can find new and effective treatments for sepsis.

The fundamental processing of DNA to RNA\, via transcription\, and RNA to protein\, via translation\, drives all cellular activities and its imbalance leads to disease. While efforts in drug discovery tend to take a more protein-centric view of the central dogma\, whereby the great majority of approved drugs target proteins\, through this presentation\, Professor Garner will try to convince you that we’ve got it all wrong. In this presentation\, she will describe new ways that U-M faculty are seeking to tackle this last frontier in drug discovery and decipher how to selectively target specific RNAs with small molecules for the treatment of human diseases.

Don’t let children drink soda\, but don’t be overly restrictive. Don’t talk about your child’s weight\, but make sure they’re not too heavy. The question is – which of these recommendations does scientific evidence support? This presentation will provide insight into the state of the childhood obesity science with regard to parenting\, and raise awareness of what we do\, and do not\, know about how to support healthy children.
