SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Cut Ups: Paper Collage
DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. 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.”

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gloss: Modeling Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on the prominent role of women as the subject of photography\, GLOSS: Modeling Beauty explores the shifting ideals of female beauty that pervade European and American visual culture from the 1920s to today. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. \n\nThis two-part exhibition presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution\, a concept for which there were few models. 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Well-being:FREE 4-Session Mindfulness Class
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION OPEN FOR ALL STUDENTS!\nSundays from 3:45 - 5:00pm (9/24\, 10/1\, 10/8\, 10/22)\n@ Central Student Government Chambers (Michigan Union\, 3rd Floor)\n\nDuring this 4-session class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills\, including meditation\, for managing stress and enriching your life. Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life\, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental\, accepting\, even curious\, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude\, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution\, a concept for which there were few models. 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. 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.”

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.

DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. 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

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. Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Brown Bag:  Cultural and Neuroendocrine Underpinnings of Social-Emotional Development in Infancy
DESCRIPTION:Bio:\nLauren is a postdoctoral fellow in psychology working with Brenda Volling at the Center for Human Growth and Development. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative Biology Seminar | The ParA/MinD Family of ATPases Make Waves to Position DNA\, Cell Division\, and Organelles in Bacteria
DESCRIPTION:Positional information in eukaryotic cells is mainly orchestrated by cytoskeletal highways and their associated motor proteins like Myosin\, Kinesin\, and Dynein. Bacteria don't have 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | The Coolest Place in the Solar System: New Worlds Beyond Neptune from the Dark Energy Survey
DESCRIPTION:The Dark Energy Survey is carrying out a 5-year survey of one-eighth of the sky using the 4-meter Blanco telescope in Chile and its state-of-the-art 570 Mpix camera\, DECam. Though this dataset was primarily envisioned for cosmology and extragalactic science\, our University of Michigan group has developed it into a powerful tool to study the solar system beyond Neptune. The hundreds of new objects we've discovered include a dwarf-planet-sized object at nearly three times Pluto's distance\, and several \"extreme trans-Neptunian objects\" whose orbits may hint at the presence of a ~10 earth-mass ninth planet. I'll discuss these discoveries in our own cosmic back yard\, and their implications for what may lie beyond.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M 2117: What Future for the Public University?
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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Distinguished Lecture. 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bill Goldstein: The World Broke in Two
DESCRIPTION:Author Bill Goldstein discusses his new book\, The World Broke in Two: Virgina Woolf\, T.S. Eliot\, D.H. Lawrence\, E.M. Forster and the Year that Changed Literature. He'll be joined by Douglas Trevor\, chair of the Zell's Writers Program at U-M. The talk will be followed by a book sale and signing.\n\nThe World Broke in Two tells the story of the intellectual and personal journeys four legendary writers\, Virginia Woolf\, T. S. Eliot\, E. M. Forster\, and D. H. Lawrence\, make over the course of one pivotal year. As 1922 begins\, all four are literally at a loss for words\, confronting an uncertain creative future despite success in the past. The literary ground is shifting\, as Ulysses is published in February and Proust’s In Search of Lost Time begins to be published in England in the autumn. Yet\, dismal as their prospects seemed in January\, by the end of the year Woolf has started Mrs. Dalloway\, Forster has\, for the first time in nearly a decade\, returned to work on the novel that will become A Passage to India\, Lawrence has written Kangaroo\, his unjustly neglected and most autobiographical novel\, and Eliot has finished—and published to acclaim—“The Waste Land.\"\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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:UM Psychology Community Talk with Dr. Dan Keating
DESCRIPTION:Breaking the Stress Cycle from Childhood to Adulthood\n\nThe U.S. is experiencing a widespread and growing stress epidemic. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:DEAD PIZZA SOCIETY: EPISODE IV - A NEW PIZZA
DESCRIPTION:\n​\n​ ​It is a period of civil war. Student spaceships\, striking from a hidden base\, have won their first victory against the University Empire.\nDuring the battle\, student spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon\, increased tuition prices\, subjecting students to greater debt and sorrow. Compelled by the idea of advancing careers\, the students continue to be caught between being a part of the system and fighting against it. During Fall Break\, they raced home\, seeking solace from the depression produced by the University Empire. Here they can conspire against the corruption on social media\, using the only weapon they have: their voice.  Join us Monday\, 10/23 from 8:00-9:30 pm in 1210 Chem as we discuss what lies at the heart of education. Why is it so important that each person spends at least 12 years\, then many pay for even more? What do we gain from it? What issues are there with our educational system? As always\, we will have free pizza! \n Perhaps we do need education....  May the pizza be with you\,and Carpe Diem Alex KretzschmerSecretary of the Dead Pizza Society

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution\, a concept for which there were few models. 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. 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.”

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. 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

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. Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. 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.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Jesus\, Women\, and Early Christianity
DESCRIPTION:We’ll explore how Jesus interacted with and treated women during his ministry and how they responded. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. \n\nThis two-part exhibition presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Architects in the Archives: The Research\, Design\, and Curation of a Bicentennial Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In April of this year\, the Taubman College Gallery on North Campus debuted a student exhibition entitled “Persistent Pasts: The Bicentennial Campus as Archive.” Combining historical research and analysis from the students in Sarah Rovang’s “The Curated Campus” graduate seminar and the output of a design studio taught by Steven Mankouche\, “Persistent Pasts” reflected on the University of Michigan’s campus as a repository of memory. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:When looks count: the function and distribution of LOOK-AT in American Sign Language
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Hou (UCSD) will give a research presentation in the Sign Language Linguistics course taught by Natasha Abner. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE Seminar Series: Charles Campbell
DESCRIPTION:Charles Campbell is Professor and B. Seymour Rabinovitch Endowed Chair in Chemistry and an\nAdjunct Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Washington\, Seattle\n\nABSTRACT\n\nLate transition metal surfaces catalyze a wide variety of industrially important reactions.  Experimental and theoretical results concerning the thermodynamics and kinetics of surface chemical reactions of importance in late transition metal catalysis will be reviewed.  Topics include:  (1) calorimetric measurements of the adsorption energies of small molecules and molecular fragments on single crystal transition metal surfaces\, and their comparison to different DFT methods\; (2) a new method based on DFT that more accurately estimates adsorbate energies on metals than any existing DFT functional\; (3) measurements of the entropies of adsorbates and their trends\; (4) a new method for estimating adsorbate entropies and prefactors for surface reaction rate constants that accurately treats the full range of adsorbate statistical behaviors between the ideal 2D lattice gas and the ideal 2D gas limits\; and\, (5) measurements of the energies of transition metal atoms adsorbed on single crystal oxide supports\, and in nanoparticles on oxide supports as a function of particle size and support.\n\nWork supported by NSF and DOE-OBES Chemical Sciences Division.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:100 Years of Opportunity: Asian Women’s Global Engagement
DESCRIPTION:This panel will bring together Barbour Scholars for a panel to reflect on Levi Barbour’s original motivation for creating his scholarship\, and to seek to examine how the mission has been transformed over time and into the modern day. 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

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

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Louis and Helen Padnos Lecture Series: \"Intersex Bodies in Tosefta Bikkurim\"
DESCRIPTION:The androgynus is defined by the anonymous majority in Tosefta Bikkurim\, chapter 2\, as sometimes male\, sometimes female\, sometimes both and sometimes neither. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Making the Modern Happen: The Lives and Works of Woolf\, Eliot\, Lawrence and Forster in 1922
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture\, discussion\, and reception with public humanist and author Bill Goldstein about his new book The World Broke in Two: Virginia Woolf\, T. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Rebuilding ancient pathways: Model metalloenzymes for energy conversion
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                The impending energy crisis is one of the biggest challenges that scientists of today face. 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)

DESCRIPTION:Special Event: Tuesday\, October 24\, 5:30 pm at UMMA\n\nJason Yates\, a Detroit native\, currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Yates’ work focuses on a collaborative ethos and bridging the gap between various genres — namely art\, music\, fashion\, and design.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jindrich Toman: The Jewish Town as Represented Space: Prague\, 1820s-1830s
DESCRIPTION:Jindrich Toman: The Jewish Town as Represented Space: Prague\, 1820s-1830s\n\nEarly decades of the nineteenth century provide a number of journalistic and literary sources that describe Prague's Jewish Town. 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. Please RSVP to slavic@umich.edu\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact the Slavic department (slavic@umich.edu or 734-764-5355) at least 4 days in advance.  Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for U-M to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution\, a concept for which there were few models. 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Cut Ups: Paper Collage
DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. 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.”

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. 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

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. Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag | Extended Steinmann Relations and Cosmic Galois Theory in Planar N = 4
DESCRIPTION:While traditional methods for calculating scattering amplitudes prove too computationally intensive to be useful at higher loop orders\, a great deal is now known about the analytic and kinematic properties of amplitudes to all orders in planar N=4. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Social Psychology Brown Bag-\"The effect of psychological distance on what we learn and what we learn from\"
DESCRIPTION:I address from the perspective of construal level theory two fundamental questions about human learning: How broadly we generalize what we learn and how large is the scope of experience that we choose to learn from. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Amazing Molihua: Culture and Meaning of China’s Most Well-known Folksong
DESCRIPTION:Internationally known as “Jasmine\,” the song molihua was an East-China folksong of humble beginning. 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.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Are Tax Breaks Entitlements?
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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Irina Tezaur: Next-generation modeling & simulation of large-scale ice sheets towards probabilistic sea-level change projections
DESCRIPTION:Recent observations show that both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are losing mass at increasingly rapid rates [1]. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | \nHighlights from Recent LIGO and Virgo Observations\n
DESCRIPTION:Following the first Advanced LIGO data run (O1) in fall 2015\, which included two definitive gravitational wave discoveries of binary black hole mergers\, LIGO commissioners spent much of 2016 working to improve detector sensitivity\, with mixed success. Data taking resumed with the start of the O2 run near the end of 2016 and continued through the summer of 2017\, yielding additional discoveries. For the last several weeks of the O2 run\, the European gravitational wave detector\, Virgo\, also collected data in parallel\, providing not only independent corroboration of detection\, but also dramatically improving source localization via triangulation across the Earth's surface. Highlights from early analysis of the O2 observations will be presented.\n

SUMMARY:Other:Illuminating the single-cell biology of chemical signals in bacterial and immune cells
DESCRIPTION:                                                The current decade has seen several unexpected discoveries of nucleotide-based signals that control the autonomous behavior of bacterial and immune cells. 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)

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.

SUMMARY:Other:Google: The New Face of Internet Censorship
DESCRIPTION:Public meeting\, Mason Hall room 2306. In an act of political censorship\, Google is blocking Internet traffic to a variety of socialist and left-wing websites\, including the World Socialist Web Site\, Alternet\, Wikileaks\, Counterpunch\, Truth-out\, and Common Dreams. Under the guise of combating “fake news\,” this corporate giant is collaborating with the US government and the Democratic Party to limit access to political opinions that the ruling class deems “incorrect.”\nGoogle’s censorship is part of broader moves to control information on the Internet\, involving Facebook\, YouTube\, Twitter and other corporations. The ruling elite fears that the free flow of information online threatens will encourage the growth of opposition to war\, inequality and the attack on democratic rights.\n\nThis meeting is called by the Socialist Equality Party\, the International Youth and Students for Social Equality\, and the World Socialist Web Site\, which is the censors’ primary target. The meeting will present the facts about Google’s attack on left-wing websites and lay out a plan for fighting censorship by placing the Internet under democratic control.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Historian in the Ghetto: Emanuel Ringelblum and the Oyneg Shabes Archive
DESCRIPTION:During World War II Jews resisted not only with guns but also with pen and paper. Even in the face of death they left \"time capsules\" full of documents that they buried under the rubble of ghettos and death camps. The Ringelblum archive in the Warsaw Ghetto buried thousands of documents. But of the 60 people who worked on this national mission\, only three survived. This will be their story.\n\nPhoto Credit: Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution\, a concept for which there were few models. 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. 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.”

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. 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

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. Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Yuris Dzenis
DESCRIPTION:“Breaking High-Performance Fiber Development Paradigm: Continuous Supernanofibers for Structural and Biomedical Applications”\n\nABSTRACT:  Advanced fibers produced a revolution in structural and functional materials in the 20th Century and are now used in a myriad of applications from aerospace to automotive\, medical\, and sporting goods. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Defense: Conjugate Analysis of Two-Dimensional Ablation and Pyrolysis in Rocket Nozzles
DESCRIPTION:The development of a methodology and computational framework for performing conjugate analyses of transient\, two-dimensional ablation of pyrolyzing materials in rocket nozzle applications is presented. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RELIGION IN THE CUBAN REVOLUTION
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Pedraza\, is a Professor of Sociology and American Culture at UM\, where she received a B.A. and M.A.\; her Ph.D. in Sociology is from the University of Chicago. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. \n\nThis two-part exhibition presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Lecture | Dynasties and Democracy in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Political dynasties exist in nearly all democracies\, but have been conspicuously prevalent in Japan\, where over a third of all legislators and two-thirds of all cabinet ministers in recent years come from families with a history in parliament. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Alumni Insights Lunch: Working in a Government Lab
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for lunch and a career conversation with Rackham alum\, Victor Marquez. Dr. Marquez graduated with his Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry in 1970 and worked for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for one year of postdoctoral training. He then returned to his home country of Venezuela for five years before rejoining the NCI as a visiting scientist in 1977. He was awarded tenure as a principle investigator in 1987 and became a lab chief in 2001. Dr. Marquez uses nucleoside chemistry and synthetic organic chemistry to design and discover antitumor and antiviral agents. During his fellowship with the National Institutes of Health in the early 70s\, his work contributed to the design of the active brain antitumor agent\, spiromustine.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Bioscience Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Cultural Fit: Its Role in Health and Health Disparities\n\nMy research shows that health and well-being depend upon cultural fit—the match between the pervasive ideas and norms in a context and characteristics of an individual. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Growing Protocols: Documenting the Collaborative Process within the Heritage Seeds for Sustainable Lifeways Project
DESCRIPTION:As museum professionals respond to the growing demand for collaboration with Native American communities\, the Heritage Seeds for Sustainable Lifeways project departs from typical collaborative efforts. While museum collaborations have overwhelmingly centered on museum exhibitions\, Heritage Seeds focuses on research collections. Here\, the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology (UMMAA) plant collections are the focal point of developing conversations. This presentation will explore my experience with the Heritage Seeds Project through my practicum at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens. In particular\, I will focus on the ways this project has begun to incorporate a broad range of individuals from a variety of university settings\, museum backgrounds\, and Tribal communities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Trump\, Twitter and Fake News: How Journalists Can Build Credibility by Opening Up Their Work
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. \nDoors open at 2 p.m. Seating is on a first-come basis. \nQuestions about the event\, email: WallaceHouseRSVP@umich.edu.\n\nEvent will be live webstreamed at https://wallacehouse.umich.edu/?p=8583.\n\nHow should the press adapt when those in power use the epithet “fake news” to attack real reporting? 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - The OSIRIS-REx Mission and The Mechanics of Asteroid Exploration
DESCRIPTION:On September 8\, 2016 the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft was launched on its voyage to the asteroid Bennu\, with which it will rendezvous in late 2018. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carol Myers-Scotton
DESCRIPTION:The abstract nature of morpheme types with evidence from contact phenomena\n\nThis presentation suggests that recognizing differences at the abstract level in morpheme types offers some explanations for differences in their distribution in language contact phenomena.  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.

SUMMARY:Other:Design and Redesign of Sustainable Engineered Nanomaterials
DESCRIPTION:                                                                        Engineered nanoparticles are increasingly being incorporated into devices and products across a variety of commercial sectors – this means that engineered nanoscale materials will either intentionally or unintentionally be released into the ecosystem. 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)

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Death Around the Palace of Nestor
DESCRIPTION:The palace of Pylos constituted the largest regional economic center in southwestern Greece during the Bronze Age (16th- 12th centuries B.C.) with evidence for high levels of craft specialization\, production\, and control of towns in the surrounding areas\, and for a strict political hierarchy. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Monica Youn & Joyce Carol Oates
DESCRIPTION:Monica Youn is the author of three books of poetry: Blackacre (Graywolf Press\, 2016)\; Barter(Graywolf Press\, 2003)\; and Ignatz (Four Way Books\, 2010)\, which was a finalist for the National Book Award. 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. A trompe l'oeil\, a work of ‘as if.’”

DESCRIPTION:Everything happens for a reason. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Feast of Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Pleasure “liking” is an essential psychological function for well-being\, and incentive “wanting” can normally give zest to life. 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.”

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Feast of Ideas
DESCRIPTION:You probably have a pretty solid idea of what a book looks like cemented in your brain. But have you ever seen one that slithers like a snake or folds up into a chrysalis? Artists’ books challenge our assumptions about what a book should be. The University Library has more than 1\,000 artists’ books in its vast collections. Hear about the history of this interesting medium and play with some fascinating examples in person.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Zell Visiting Writers Series: Monica Youn and Joyce Carol Oates\, Poetry and Prose Reading
DESCRIPTION:Monica Youn is the author of three books of poetry: Blackacre (Graywolf Press\, 2016)\; Barter(Graywolf Press\, 2003)\; and Ignatz (Four Way Books\, 2010)\, which was a finalist for the National Book Award. 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. A trompe l'oeil\, a work of ‘as if.’”\nUMMA is pleased to be the site for the Zell Visiting Writers Series\, which brings outstanding writers each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (AB ’64\, LLDHon ’13). For more information\, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Series webpage.\n\nVisit umma.umich.edu to learn more!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Feast of Ideas
DESCRIPTION:It is increasingly recognized that exposure to chemical\, nutritional\, and behavioral factors alters gene expression and affects health and disease by not only mutating promoter and coding regions of genes\, but also by modifying the epigenome — modifications to DNA that confer an additional layer of heritable gene regulation that lead to disease when deregulated. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Can mathematics help us understand\, predict\, and control infectious disease spread?  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.

SUMMARY:Other:1st Reading Group of the Year
DESCRIPTION: We are pleased to announce the first reading group of the year will take place on Thursday\, October 26\, at 7 pm. Prof. O'Shea has graciously offered to host it at his house (2851 Whippoorwill Ln 48103\, see attached map). We are aware that there is an AIA talk wrapping up around 7pm so feel free to show up late if needed. We usually hang out and have some beverages for a period of time before talking anyway! For those of you who are new or didn't make it to a reading group meeting last year\, these are basically relaxed environments for us to talk about topics/theories/methodologies that are applicable to many members of CAW. The topic to start us off this year will be Network Analysis. Attached are two relatively short introductions to the topic that can be our launching point to further discussion (including one by Michigan's own Prof. Bob Whallon.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Feast of Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Sepsis\, when bacteria (bugs) get into the bloodstream\, is a severe illness that requires hospitalization and intensive care. 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.

DESCRIPTION:The central dogma is the hallmark of genetic transmission and molecular biology. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution\, a concept for which there were few models. 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. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. 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.”

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. 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

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. Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. \n\nThis two-part exhibition presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:The River in Our City\, the River in Our Veins
DESCRIPTION:Processional Performance in celebration of the University's Bicentennial. Beginning at the Earl V. Moore Building Pond\, the parade leads to the Duderstadt Tree Planting Ceremony. \n\n12:00  p.m. pre-show begins\; 12:45 p.m. tree planting.\n\nPresented by Professors Christianne Myers and Michael Gurevich. The Huron River is a beautiful and defining feature of our city and the University. We try to control it as it meanders\, tumbles\, carves\, and flows. It sustains\, as it flows through us all. With the Huron River as a source of inspiration\, fibers students in the Stamps School of Art & Design created fabrics and students of composition\, electronic chamber music and puppetry have used those fabrics to create large processional puppets—some as kinetic instruments\, some to take flight\, and some to be underscored by sounds and music inspired by our environment. Presented with support from MCubed & The U-M Bicentennial.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Ali Woerner and Thayer Jonutz
DESCRIPTION:Take Root is known for their connection through untraditional partnering technique. The class will consist of a thorough warm-up based off of Take Root’s principles of partnering and awareness. Following the warm-up\, the class will organically move into repertory work from Take Root. Although the work is set\, the class will discover their own voices and connections throughout the teachings\, a journey the Take Root company members experience when creating new works\, resulting in the classes’ version of Take Root’s repertory.\n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities.\n\nEach guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.\n\nThis event supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:AMfecanERICA\, or American Mfecane\, 1650-1850
DESCRIPTION:For the period before 1840\, Southern African and Eastern North American historians have asked similar questions: What was the relationship between colonialism and profound indigenous developments that arose beyond the authority of the imperial or settler powers?  What did colonialism have to do with new social formations\, scales of war\, and forms of exploitation--that arose beyond the direct reach of colonizers? Did the Atlantic slave trade (which reached well into the Indian Ocean)\, or the Atlantic trade more generally\, bear strongly on relationships within and among indigenous polities distant from the colonial ports? Can proper history be written by \"reorienting\" the field to center the interior places of the continent(s)\, keeping the colonizers at the periphery?  Do concepts such as \"frontier\,\" \"hybridity\,\" and \"nation\,\" obscure or reflect reality?\n \nBut for all the commonality\, the fields remain mostly ignorant of one another. This paper seeks to put historians of Eastern Native North America in conversation with South Africanists.  It explains how Southern Africanists have on many scores been ahead of Native Americanists\, and it finds that while we are not really talking\, we are uncomfortably close cousins.\n\nThis session will be chaired by Brandi Hughes (Assistant Professor of History and American Culture) with comments from Matthew Villanueve (Doctoral Student in History).\n\nThis event is part of the Michigan Early Atlantic Seminar series.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Past\, Present and Future of Parallel Computing
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nIn this talk\, I will trace my involvement with parallel computing over the last thirty years.  I will relate my experiences as a graduate student at Michigan\, my challenges as a junior faculty member at Stanford and my efforts to commercialize multicore processors at a startup company. I will talk about the freedom we have in academia to pursue new research directions and how I have used this freedom to broaden my research agenda to have more impact. I will talk about the effect that parallel computing has had on AI and the effect that AI will have on parallel computing. I will end with predictions about what we can expect to see from the intersection of these two fields in the future.\n\nBiography:\nKunle Olukotun is the Cadence Design Systems Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University and he has been on the faculty since 1991. He is well known as a pioneer in multicore processor design and for leading the Stanford Hydra chip multiprocessor (CMP) project which developed one of the first chip multiprocessors with support for thread-level speculation (TLS). Olukotun founded Afara Websystems to develop high-throughput\, low-power multicore processors for server systems. The Afara multicore processor\, called Niagara\, was acquired by Sun Microsystems and Niagara-derived processors now power all Oracle SPARC-based servers.\n\nOlukotun currently directs the Stanford Pervasive Parallelism Lab (PPL)\, which seeks to proliferate the use of heterogeneous parallelism in all application areas using Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). Olukotun is an ACM Fellow and IEEE Fellow. Olukotun received his PhD in computer engineering from the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Evolution of a Career\, Computers\, and Cars: 40 Years of Change
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nThere have been significant changes in the automotive electronics landscape in the last 40 years\, from stand-alone micro-controllers to highly distributed networked ecosystems.  Not only has system complexity increased dramatically\, but the way that vehicle manufacturers work with electronics suppliers\, and the process to develop and introduce new systems and features into the consumer marketplace have both also evolved.  Nowhere are these changes more evident than as companies move quickly to capitalize on the disruptive opportunities of autonomous vehicles.  In this talk\, I will share my impressions on these changes and what forces are shaping them\, as seen through the lens of my career.\n\nBIO:\nAndrew Farah is currently Chief Technology Architect for Autonomous Vehicles at General Motors. He started his General Motors career in 1984 as a Product Engineer in the Electrical/Electronics Group with the Buick Motor Division in Flint\, Michigan. He has also worked for Johnson Controls in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin\, as Manager Electrical/Electronic Vehicle Systems Engineering for their Battery Division. Returning to GM\, he subsequently held several leadership positions in the Product Development and Program Management organizations\, including Engineering Group Manager of Vehicle Propulsion Engineering for the EV1 Electric Vehicle. In 2001\, he was named GMNA Director Electrical Development & Validation\, and later was responsible for all GM Europe Aftersales Engineering activities as GME Director Aftersales Engineering\, located in Rüsselsheim\, Germany. In 2007\, he was named Vehicle Chief Engineer (VCE) for the Chevrolet Volt.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Landau Singularities and the Amplituhedron
DESCRIPTION:Modern methods for computing scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory get enormous mileage out of knowledge (or assumed knowledge) of their singularity structure.  I will demonstrate how\, in the very special case of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory\, all information about this singularity structure can (in principle) be derived via combinatorial geometry problems using the amplituhedron\, providing thereby the basic input to the \"amplitude bootstrap\" program.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Pre-read workshop: On the Politics of Coalition
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of continued structural asymmetries between women of color and white feminisms\, this essay revisits intersectional tensions in Catharine MacKinnon’s Toward a Feminist Theory of the State while exploring productive spaces of coalition. To explore such spaces\, we reframe Toward a Feminist Theory of the State in terms of its epistemological project and highlight possible synchronicities with liberational features in women-of-color feminisms. This is done\, in part\, through an analysis of the philosophical role “method” plays in MacKinnon’s argument\, and by reframing her critique of juridical neutrality and objectivity as epistemic harms. In the second section\, we sketch out a provisional coalitional theory of liberation that builds on MacKinnon’s feminist epistemological insights and aligns them with decolonizing projects in women-of-color feminisms\, suggesting new directions and conceptual revisions that are on the way to coalition.\n\nSee below for link to essay.\n\nCo-sponsored by Minorities and Philosophy (MAP)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: Ratings-Based Price Discrimination
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nA long-lived consumer interacts with an infinite sequence of short-lived firms in a stationary Gaussian setting.  Firms use the consumer’s rating—an aggregate measure of her purchase history—to learn about the consumer’s type\, and thus set prices.  The focus is on linear Markov equilibria when ratings discount past purchases exponentially.  We find that equilibrium prices are lower in expectation than in a static benchmark due to the strategic effect of privacy concerns.  The precision of the information conveyed in equilibrium by a rating is non-monotone in its persistence level.  Firms may prefer more persistent ratings than under public histories\, whereas high-value consumers may prefer more or less persistent ratings to uninformative ratings.  Total surplus is instead maximized by uninformative ratings.  Finally\, hidden ratings that are not observed by the consumer reduce the sensitivity of demand and increase the firms’ profits.  Our analysis thus sheds light on the role that transparency and persistence of consumer data can have on market outcomes.\n\nhttp://web.mit.edu/gcistern/www/rating.pdf

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nancy Cantor Lecture | My Journey to Discover Why Health Disparities Exist: A Lecture by Dr. Thomas A. LaVeist
DESCRIPTION:Thomas A. LaVeist\, Ph.D. is chairman of the Department of Health Policy and Management at the George Washington University\, Milken Institute School of Public Health.  He has led pivotal research on the impact of socioeconomic and racial inequities on the health of individuals and communities. \n\nHis research and writing has focused on three broad thematic research questions:\n1.)	What are the social and behavioral factors that predict the timing of various related health outcomes (e.g. access and utilization of health services\, mortality\, entrance into nursing home)?\n2.)	What are the social and behavioral factors that explain race differences in health outcomes?\n3.)	What has been the impact of social policy on the health and quality of life of African Americans? \n\nLaVeist’s specific areas of expertise include U.S. health and social policy\, the role of race in health research\, social factors contributing to mortality\, longevity and life expectancy\, quantitative and demographic analysis and access\, and utilization of health services.\n\nHis journey examining why health disparities exist began at the University of Michigan where he earned a doctorate degree in medical sociology and a postdoctoral fellowship in gerontology and Health Management & Policy at the School of Public Health. \n\nHe joined GWU after 25 years on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health where he was the William C. and Nancy F. Richardson Professor in Health Policy and Director of the Hopkins Center for Health Disparities Solutions. \n\nLaVeist has published more than 100 articles in scientific journals and is a highly sought-after lecturer at leading universities\, corporations\, professional conferences and workshops. The second edition of his edited volume\, Race\, Ethnicity and Health: A Public Health Reader (Jossey-Bass Publishers) was published fall 2012. His most recent book project\, Legacy of the Crossing: Life\, Death\, and Triumph among Descendants of the World’s Greatest Forced Migration\, was published in 2017. His research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health\, Center for Disease Control\, Department of Defense\, Commonwealth Fund\, Sage Foundation and the Agency for Healthcare Research.  In 2013\, LaVeist was elected to membership in the National Academy of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences (formally Institute of Medicine).\n\nThe Nancy Cantor Distinguished Lectureship on Intellectual Diversity lectureship honors Cantor\, former U-M provost\, for her outstanding contributions to the University community and unwavering commitment to diversity.\n\nThe Cantor lecture is sponsored by the Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion\, and supported by the School of Public Health\, Michigan Medicine\, Office of Health Equity & Inclusion\, and Institute for Social Research.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biophysics Doctoral Candidates -  Jeff Folz\, “Potassium Nanosensor for Photoacoustic Imaging” and Josh Karslake\, \"Uncovering Hidden Dynamics in Live-Cell Single Molecule Data with Bayesian Statistics\"
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Folz\, “Potassium Nanosensor for Photoacoustic Imaging” ABSTRACTS: Potassium is one of the most abundant cations found in the body. It is of particular clinical interest due to its implications for cancer treatment. It has been shown that the necrotic core within a tumor can induce local\, 5 to 10 fold increases in the potassium concentration\, which has been shown to inhibit immune cell function. However\, the development of this hyperkalemic state\, including rate\, extent\, and distribution\, are not characterized and have strong therapeutic implications. We developed a potassium nanosensor that is capable of performing as a functional photoacoustic contrast agent. The optode is based on the principle of Donnan exclusion in which a pH sensitive dye deprotonates when a potassium ionophore chelates a potassium ion. Our sensor is multimodal\, and has been calibrated for absorption\, fluorescence\, and photoacoustic read-out modes over biologically relevant potassium concentrations: 1mM to 100mM for photoacoustics and 20mM to 1M for fluorescence. The sensor shows exquisite selectivity over common interfering ions\, such as sodium\, magnesium\, and calcium. By introducing primary amines to the surface of the sensor\, we have been able to functionalize and target the sensor\, both passively through the Enhanced Permeability and Retention effect and actively via the attachment of the tumor-homing F3 peptide. The nanosensor has been applied to ex vivo samples\, where it was demonstrated that tumor samples have a relatively large concentrations of potassium compared to healthy tissue.\n\n and\n Johsh Karslake\, \"Uncovering Hidden Dynamics in Live-Cell Single Molecule Data with Bayesian Statistics\"\, ABSTRACT: Single-molecule imaging techniques localize and track individual molecules inside living cells with nanometer precision and millisecond timing\; this capability has allowed researchers to investigate many open questions across biology. However\, single-molecule image analysis is fundamentally limited by a priori model selection\, parameter unidentifiability\, and other supervisory biases. To address these issues\, we have developed an analysis framework for Single-Molecule Tracking data based on nonparametric Bayesian inference. We have validated this method using realistic simulations and simple experimental systems and finally we extend our investigations to determine the model and dynamics of the membrane-bound keystone virulence protein TcpP in live Vibrio cholerae cells.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 813 Seminar: David T. Burke\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Deep Monitoring Chronic Disease in Underserved and Remote Populations\n\nEach day\, one-fourth of the US adult population struggles with chronic illness – diabetes\, glaucoma\, hypertension. Chronic diseases disable individuals\, burden families\, and impoverish our communities. With the proper tools\, however\, many chronic diseases can be controlled. Millions of adults need to know\, frequently and precisely\, about their own health. Unfortunately\, because of cost or location\, many people do not have easy access to a physician or trained caregiver. The demand for high-quality\, inexpensive health management remains unfulfilled. Our Team builds systems to monitor and control chronic diseases in underserved communities. We develop and produce low-cost\, physician-tested technologies for personal health assessment. With community partners\, we design and build convenient\, transportable health-stations that meet local needs. Our solutions harness the existing manufacturing\, communication\, and transportation infrastructure. As a result\, our systems are easily replicated in large numbers and can reach underserved communities rapidly. \n\nDavid Burke\, Ph.D. is currently Professor and Interim Chair in the Department of Human Genetics. He completed his BS in Biological Sciences from the University of Rochester in 1982\, a PhD in Genetics from Washington University in St. Louis in 1988\, and post-doctoral fellowship at Princeton University in 1991. He has been on the faculty of the University of Michigan\, Department of Human Genetics since 1991. His research interests include: (1) quantitative trait analysis of complex\, multigenic traits in synthetic populations of the laboratory mouse\, (2) the development of engineering systems for microsensors and microfluidic analysis\, and (3) low-cost technology systems for health care monitoring in underserved populations.\n\nThe seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS):  Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.\nFor additional information and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, \nplease contact genehkim@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Bicentennial Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:How Linguistics Gets Lost in Public Debates About Language\n\nAnne Curzan\nUniversity of Michigan\n\nLinguists lament that people of all education levels often seem more inclined to listen to self-proclaimed prescriptive language experts like William Safire\, Lynne Truss\, and William Strunk and E. B. White\, than to linguists. When it comes to physics\, people turn to physicists as the experts to consult on the topic\; when it comes to language\, people often turn to experts without training in linguistics. How\, then\, can those with linguistics expertise effectively intervene in a public discourse where nonstandard varieties are still regularly denigrated and standard varieties are referred to as “good English” or just “English”?\n	This talk\, focused on the U.S. context\, considers the ideologies that linguists and non-linguists share and don’t share about standard and nonstandard varieties\, “grammar\,” and prescriptive rules about what constitutes “good usage” in order to map potential shared conversational ground and productive strategies for addressing misunderstandings and misinformation. I assess language linguists have used to talk about prescriptivism with non-experts and analyze the language of public responses to descriptivist arguments. I cannot yet share David Crystal’s optimistic argument in Stories of English (2004) that we are nearing the end of a “linguistically intolerant era\,” and this talk seeks to lay out new ways forward for having a constructive\, civil conversation about prescriptivism\, language variation\, and language change both within the academy and far beyond it.\n\n---\n\nAssociate Dean for the Humanities and Professor Anne Curzan will give a talk as part of the U-M Department of Linguistics Bicentennial event\, \"Linguistics and the Lived Experience of Language.\"  The talk by will center on engaging in public facing linguistic work.

DESCRIPTION:Does a bell have to ring before it is truly a bell? The Russian Tsar Bell was the largest bell ever cast at over 200 tons. But in 1732\, before it was ever struck\, this Goliath of bells broke. Its parts have been on display in the Kremlin ever since.\n\nA team of UC Berkeley\, Stanford\, and U-M researchers made the Tsar Bell ring for the very first time. With Finite Element Analysis (FEA)\, they created a computational model of what the bell might have sounded like. The recreated Tsar Bell will be \"played\" in concert with the Charles Baird Carillon\, in between Bicentennial HAILstorm! showings.\n\nSet list (all selections performed by Prof. Tiffany Ng)\n\n5:00 pm: \"June's Ring\" by Stanford Prof. Chris Chafe\, duet with Isaac Levine\n5:45 pm: \"counterfactuals\" by PAT Prof. Chris Burns (world premiere)\n9:15 pm: \"Euler's Bell\" by PAT Prof. John Granzow\n9:45 pm: \"Phantasmes\" by Yale professor Kathryn Alexander (world premiere)\n\nSponsored by the U-M Bicentennial Activity Grant and Meyer Sound.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Author Julia Turshen Discusses Her Book “Feed the Resistance”
DESCRIPTION:Favorite cookbook author Julia Turshen talks about her book Feed the Resistance\, a practical and inspiring handbook for political activism—with recipes. With stimulating lists\, extensive resources\, and essays from activists in the worlds of food\, politics\, and social causes\, Feed the Resistance is a must-have handbook for anyone hoping to make a difference. Followed by a book sale and book signing.\n\nAs the millions who marched in January 2017 demonstrated\, activism is the new normal. When people search for ways to resist injustice and express support for civil rights\, environmental protections\, and more\, they begin by gathering around the table to talk and plan. The dishes included in the book foster community and provide sustenance for the mind and soul\, including a dozen of the healthy\, affordable recipes Turshen is known for\, plus over 15 more recipes from a diverse range of celebrated chefs.\n\nThis event is a partnership with the Ann Arbor District Library and Literati Bookstore.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. 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.”

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gloss: Modeling Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on the prominent role of women as the subject of photography\, GLOSS: Modeling Beauty explores the shifting ideals of female beauty that pervade European and American visual culture from the 1920s to today. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. \n\nThis two-part exhibition presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. 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.
