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

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

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696902@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171009T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171029T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171029T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593367@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171029T120015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171029T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171029T130000 SUMMARY:Other:Free Meditation Workshop DESCRIPTION: Need daily maintenance of your mental well being?

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

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

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

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.

For this visionary project\, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative of reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community. UMMA docents will introduce the juxtaposed images and help connect the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity.\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W.

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist.

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.

A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696903@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170726T152806 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171030T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171030T210000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michigan Past & Present DESCRIPTION:Profiles of U-M’s first six students\, and the two faculty who taught them\, and how they compare to the university of 2017.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593368@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171019T081902 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171030T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171030T100000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Clinical Science Brown Bag: Identifying Predictors of Depression under Stress DESCRIPTION:Srijan will discuss findings from the Intern Health Study\, a longitudinal cohort study that assesses stress and mood in training physicians (interns)\, enrolling 3\,000 participants from 60+ institutions in the U.S. and China each year.

Ludwig\, Ph.D.\nAssociate Director of Mayo Neural Engineering Laboratories\nMayo Clinic Hospital\, Rochester MN\n \nMonday\, Oct. 30\, 2017\n9:00 – 10:00 a.m.\n1123 LBME\n \n“Next-Generation Bioelectronic Medicines: Crossing the Valley of Death”\n \nABSTRACT: Bioelectronic Medicine is an emerging field that capitalizes on minimally-invasive technology to stimulate the autonomic nervous system in order to evoke therapeutic biomolecular changes at the end-organ. In this seminar Dr. Kip Ludwig will discuss his unique experience spanning industry\, government\, and academia in translating Bioelectronic Medicines from initial proof-of-concept on the bench to commercially approved clinical therapies. Based on this experience he will describe his vision for establishing ‘parallel translation’ to accelerate the integration of new Bioelectronic Medicines into routine clinical practice. Parallel translation is predicated on 1) using bleeding-edge high-resolution technologies in small animal models to provide mechanistic understanding of neuromodulation therapies\, 2) conducting experiments in high-throughput large animal models to better understand design issues of anatomical scale that uniquely impact neuromodulation therapies and 3) taking advantage of existing human surgical opportunities that provide access to the nervous system to quickly and safely obtain human data. Performing these three steps ‘in parallel’ is required to more efficiently cross the proverbial ‘valley of death’ for device translation\, by simultaneously addressing key unknowns in the business case necessary to obtain funding for advanced clinical trials.\nDr. Ludwig currently serves as the Associate Director of the Mayo Neural Engineering Laboratories (NEL) and leads the Bioelectronic Medicines Laboratory within the NEL. Prior to Mayo Dr. Ludwig served as the Program Director for Neural Engineering at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He co-led the NIH CREATE Devices translational program\, led the NIH translational programs under the White House BRAIN Initiative\, and led a trans-NIH planning team in developing the ~250 million dollar SPARC Program to stimulate advances in neuromodulation therapies for organ systems. Dr. Ludwig also worked in the neuromodulation industry as a research scientist where he conceived\, developed and demonstrated the chronic efficacy of a next-generation minimally-invasive stimulation device to treat hypertension and heart failure. Through his industry work he oversaw Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and non-GLPstudies enabling clinical trials in Europe and the United States\, as well as participated in the protocol development and execution of those trials. Dr. Ludwig’s device is now approved for sale in seven countries and has progressed to a Phase III ‘Pivotal’ trial in the United States for FDA approval. Based on the European data\, his electrode concept was awarded LifeScience Alley’s ‘Life-Saving Breakthrough of the Year’ in 2014.

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.

How Black Adults’ Consumption of Popular Media Affects their Perceptions of Women and Mothers\n\nAbstract: Although African Americans are heavy media consumers\, we know little of how media content shapes their beliefs about women and women’s roles. Therefore\, the goal of this study was to investigate the associations between consumption of popular media and idealistic beliefs about women and motherhood. Participants were 484 Black adults who completed a survey that assessed exposure to 50 reality TV programs\, perceived realism of reality TV\, social media use\, identification with 12 conventional or sexual-presenting celebrity mothers\, endorsement of the heterosexual script\, and endorsement of stereotypical beliefs about women and mothers. The results highlight the importance of assessing different forms of media consumption. \n\nBio: Vaness Cox is a third-year doctoral student in Developmental Psychology. Before beginning her doctoral studies\, she attended the University of Missouri\, Columbia where she earned degrees in Sociology and Psychology\, with a minor in Black Studies. Currently\, her research involves understanding how Black women are portrayed in the media and how these portrayals relate to Black adolescents’ and young adults’ perceptions of Black women. She is particularly interested in the portrayals and perceptions of Black mothers. \n\nDanielle Labotka\nTitle: Children’s Understanding of Foreigner Talk and Use of Cues in Identifying Foreigner Talk\n\nAbstract: Whenever a person addresses their interlocutor\, they adjust their style of speech according to whom they are talking and in what context. Such changes in speech associated with particular addressees or contexts are known as registers. Although children’s use of certain registers such as Baby Talk is well-documented\, little is known regarding when and how children expect non-native speakers to receive a particular register of address known as Foreigner Talk. In Study 1\, 4-8-year-old children and adults heard a series of registers –Foreigner Talk\, Baby Talk\, Peer Talk\, and Teacher Talk– and were asked to choose the corresponding target addressee. In Study 2\, 5-8-year-old children and adults participated in a register match task in which three cues were manipulated: Language\, Appearance\, and Origin. Together\, the findings of these studies speak to children’s developing understanding of Foreigner Talk and its addressees. \n\nBio: Danielle Labotka is a third year PhD candidate in Developmental Psychology working with Susan Gelman and Henry Wellman. She received her B.A. in Comparative Human Development from the University of Chicago where she worked in the Development of Social Cognition Lab studying the role of language experience in children’s understanding of pragmatics and in the Infant Learning and Development Lab assisting with cross-cultural research. Her recent work explores how communicative interactions between native and non-native speakers may impact children’s reasoning about non-native speakers.

Digital platforms such as Facebook\, Twitter\, and Reddit face challenges in improving these conversations\, from designing user interfaces to stimulating participation and moderating or prioritizing content. Perhaps the most important challenge is deciding which kinds of conversations are most valuable to people and how the value generated can be practically measured at large scale and across a variety of use-cases.\n\nIn this talk Facebook social scientist Sean Taylor will present a range of approaches to measuring and characterizing online public conversations. In the course of product research at Facebook\, they have applied machine learning\, human annotation\, surveys\, network analysis\, and ethnographic research in order to gain a deeper understanding of the space of public conversations and to try to pin down how and when they create value for the participants. He discusses how ongoing advancements in measurement technology have helped improve Facebook products\, and what they have learned about human behavior in the process of studying these social systems.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Sean J. Taylor is a computational social scientist on Facebook’s Data Science team. Prior to Facebook\, he earned his PhD in Information Systems from NYU’s Stern School of Business. He specializes in using machine learning methods and randomized experiments for measurement\, prediction\, and policy decisions. Sean’s research ranges from studying online social influence\, viral marketing\, and social networks to measuring how sports fans behave and the impact of data science on decision making in organizations. He is also an avid engineer who enjoys putting academic research into practice by building tools and services like new kinds of prediction markets and automated forecasting systems.\n\n***\nThe Social\, Behavioral and Experimental Economics lecture series is sponsored by the School of Information\, the Ross School of Business and the Department of Economics. Speakers from U.S. and international universities present their research at weekly seminars during the 2017-2018 academic year.

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

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

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696904@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171108T135108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171031T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171031T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:WORLD LEADERS pop-up exhibition by Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen DESCRIPTION:An installation of new work by U-M alumna Chanel Habsburg-Lothringen whose work addresses the American notion of aspiration\, mortality\, and persona.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593369@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170816T150109 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171031T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171031T113000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:\"When Breath Becomes Air\" DESCRIPTION:When Breath Becomes Air\, is a posthumously published autobiographical account of neurosurgeon Dr. Paul Kalanithi’s life after receiving a diagnosis of stage IV metastatic lung cancer at age 36. \n\nIt is a beautifully written\, poignant account of the challenges of living with a terminal diagnosis\, the difficulty of choosing treatment options in the face of uncertainty\, and the limits of modern medical care. \n\nReaders in this study group for those 50 and above will have the opportunity to reflect on and discuss issues presented in the book including the roles of family and care providers.\n\nInstructor Sheryl Kurze will lead these 90 minute sessions on Tuesdays October 31 and November 7.

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

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

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.

A large literature documents birth order effects in various outcomes with children born later usually faring worse than earlier-born siblings. We document that children higher in the birth order are more likely to be unwanted\, in the sense that they were conceived at a time in which the family was not planning to have additional children. A separate literature documents negative outcomes associated with being an unwanted child. We connect the two literatures and show that part of the documented birth order effects in completed education and employment may reflect this increasing prevalence of unwanted children at higher parities and the disruption they imply in parental plans for optimal investment in their children.

I will present recent work that uses measures of brain processes related to affect\, control\, and integrative value to predict i) lab-based choices to regulate negative emotion\, and ii) durable change in health-relevant attitudes and behavior. In the third part of my talk\, I will iii) present work that examines socially-interactive attempts to control emotion\, providing evidence that their impact depends on interpersonal synchrony reflective of shared understanding. Overall\, I will discuss how connecting neural data with real-world affective and behavioral outcomes can deepen our mechanistic understanding of how emotion can be controlled and aid in the development of novel interventions.

In a strong spin orbit coupled cuprate analogue system\, layered perovskite iridium oxides (iridates)\, Mott insulating\, pseudogap and d-wave gap behaviors have been discovered in the single layer variant Sr2IrO4\, while metal insulator transition and charge-order like Fermi surface instability has only been seen in the bilayer counterpart Sr3Ir2O7. However\, a full symmetry characterization on the charge order in Sr3Ir2O7 is yet missing\, making its analogy to the charge order in cuprates incomplete. In this talk\, I will show that an amplitude mode of charge order at ~25cm-1 is detected in the metallic La-doped Sr3Ir2O7 at temperatures below ~ 200K by using Raman spectroscopy\, which is reminiscent of that observed in cuprates. I will further show that this charge order has two-fold rotational symmetry\, breaking the four-fold one of the crystal lattice\, which is the same as the unidirectional charge order in cuprates does. Finally\, I will discuss the weak coupling between the charge order and the lattice by tracking the phonon evolution upon the emergence of the charge order. \n\n UID:42190-9584878@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42190 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170823T112904 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171031T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171031T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Franz Kafka and Max Brod: Trial and Judgments in Israel DESCRIPTION:Before Franz Kafka died\, he asked his friend Max Brod to burn his manuscripts after his death. Instead\, Brod kept the manuscripts with the intention of donating them to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. But his secretary had a different idea. Mark Gelber\, leading Israeli scholar of Austro-Jewish literature\, will speak on Franz Kafka and the recent sensational Israeli Supreme Court case regarding the legacy of his manuscripts.\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.

The Teets group has advanced the idea that the ancillary ligand(s) in these compounds can substantially alter the redox and photophysical properties\, and this lecture highlights some work in this area. Postsynthetic modification strategies give rise to new structure types and have led to the discovery of efficient visible-light phosphors. Other ligand-design strategies produce compounds with efficient red or near-infrared phosphorescence\, as well as a class of potent photoreductants which outperform state-of-the-art photosensitizers in photoinduced electron-transfer reactions. \n \n \nThomas Teets (University of Houston) UID:45461-10189551@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45461 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171030T140155 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171031T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171031T200000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Halloween Themed Dinner DESCRIPTION:All dining halls will be having a speculator themed dinner for Halloween.

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

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

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696905@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171108T135108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171101T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171101T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:WORLD LEADERS pop-up exhibition by Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen DESCRIPTION:An installation of new work by U-M alumna Chanel Habsburg-Lothringen whose work addresses the American notion of aspiration\, mortality\, and persona.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593370@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170929T085108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171101T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171101T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Change It Up Workshop for Master's Students DESCRIPTION:As part of New Graduate Student Orientation\, all incoming master's students are strongly encouraged to attend one of these workshop sessions:\n\nOctober 20\, 10:00-11:30\, East Room\, Pierpont Commons \n\nNovember 1\, 10:00-11:30\, Johnson Rooms\, Lurie Engineering Center \n\nChange it Up! brings bystander intervention skills to participants for the purpose of building safe\, inclusive\, and respectful communities.

Drawing on her experience as a former member of Virginia’s State Air Pollution Control Board\, she narrates cases in Alexandria\, Wise\, and Roda that involved coal and air pollution. She identifies a “climate of capitulation” —a deeply rooted favoritism toward coal and electric utilities in state air pollution policies. Thomson links Virginia’s climate of capitulation with campaign finance patterns\, a state legislature that depends on outsiders for information and bill drafting\, and a political culture that tends toward inertia. She extends her analysis to fifteen other coal states and recommends reforms aimed at mitigating ingrained biases toward coal and electric utility interests. \nVivian E. Thomson writes and teaches about environmental policy and politics. She joined the University of Virginia faculty in 1997\, where she was Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and the Department of Politics. She directed\, and helped to design\, the popular\, selective BA program in Environmental Thought and Practice. Professor Thomson retired from teaching and program administration in July 2017. Her work is now entirely oriented toward research\, guest lectures\, and writing.\n\nProfessor Thomson’s research\, lecturing\, and grants have taken her to Denmark\, where she was a Fulbright Professor\, to Panama\, as Director of UVA’s Panama Initiative\, to Germany\, where she was a DAAD visiting scholar\, to Brazil\, where she has ongoing collaborations with colleagues at the University of São Paulo and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro\, and to Italy. Her language skills include Brazilian Portuguese\, German\, and Spanish. Professor Thomson has also worked as a senior policy analyst and manager at the US EPA.\n\nSince 2009 she has published three sole-authored books. The latest is Climate of Capitulation: An Insider’s Account of State Power in a Coal Nation (MIT Press\, April 2017)\, a rare policymaker’s inside story that is based in part on Professor Thomson’s many years as member and vice chair of the Virginia State Air Pollution Control Board. Climate of Capitulation provides insights into the expression of power in state air pollution policymaking\, through first person\, policy participant case studies and analysis that generalizes those cases to fifteen other states. Readers and reviewers have called Climate of Capitulation a no-holds-barred exposé\, a must-read\, a page-turner\, and insightful\, provocative\, vivid\, and persuasive.\n\nSponsored by: University of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\n\nCo-Sponsors: University of Michigan Program in the Environment (PitE)\; University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS)\; University of Michigan Environmental Law & Policy Program (ELPP)\; University of Michigan Energy Institute\; University of Michigan Graham Sustainability Institute\n\nFor more information visit www.closup.umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

DESCRIPTION:The discovery of DNA has not only made it possible to convict the guilty\, it has also resulted in discovering the awful errors of our criminal justice system. Almost 1\,800 people serving time in prison have been exonerated – they are in fact innocent of the crime. \n\nWho are they and how did this happen? Last year alone five people were exonerated while waiting on death row to be executed. \n\nThis 90 minute lecture for those 50 and above by the Hon. Donald E. Shelton\, who directs the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at UM-Dearborn\, explores how these innocent people ended up in prison and what changes need to be made to prevent such miscarriages of justice in the future.

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

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

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

This paper argues that the question of how to achieve adequate transparency about the influences of non-epistemic values deserves much more attention. First\, the paper argues that transparency is crucial for responding to an important ethical worry about non-epistemic influences on science—namely\, that they threaten principles of democratic accountability and individual self-determination. Second\, it shows that achieving adequate transparency about the influences of non-epistemic values is much more difficult than it initially appears. Finally\, it proposes an overarching strategy for achieving greater transparency\, focusing on the identification of specific value judgments that are of particular significance to stakeholders. It concludes by highlighting the wide range of institutions and initiatives needed for implementing this strategy and by identifying a number of questions that merit further discussion.

From Land to Sea: Reconceptualizing Southeastern Europe as a Region DESCRIPTION:This talk asks how insights drawn from the oceanic or watery turn may help us rethink the Balkans\, an area often conceptualized in highly terrestrialized ways. How\, for example\, might thinking with water challenge scholarly understandings about the predominance of the national idea in the modern era\, as well as the image of Central and Southeast European empires as contiguous\, continental entities? In addressing these questions\, the speaker draws upon nearly two decades of field research in and on the Adriatic Sea. In particular\, her discussion centers on a key case study: the mass migration or “exodus” from Istria\, a peninsula in the northeastern Adriatic Sea which passed from Italian to Yugoslav control after a protracted territorial dispute in the decade after World War II. The predominant (if contested) narrative of this migration depicts it in terms of longstanding Italian-Slavic ethnic enmity. Such an interpretation largely attributes the reasons for the Istrian exodus to a history of violence seen as particularly “Balkan.” Ironically\, however\, even while this reading of events in post-1945 Istria privileges the lens of a regional (Adriatic) history of ethnic conflict\, the growing historiography on this topic pays little attention to either actual seaspace or perspectives associated with the oceanic turn. In offering a series of suggestions for how to anchor histories of the modern Adriatic in both the lived seascape and oceanic concepts (such as taking scholarship both “offshore” and “alongshore”)\, the speaker also investigates the limits of such seaborne thinking for our understanding of Southeastern Europe. \n\nPamela Ballinger is Fred Cuny Professor of the History of Human Rights and associate professor of history at the University of Michigan.

DESCRIPTION:Concepts are ubiquitous in engineering education in many forms. Engineering educators have developed multiple concept inventories that are widely used to assess student learning and frequently have discussions about the importance of knowing the concepts. Academic artifacts such as textbooks are normally organized around engineering concepts. Although there is comfort in utilizing concepts as the organizing framework for engineering education\, substantial evidence from multiple perspectives suggests that it may not be optimal for student learning or for preparation for engineering practice. Concepts at their core definition imply a sanitized transferable entity\, that transcends context. However\, theoretical perspectives of situated cognition suggest that concepts may not be the fundamental organizing schema for practitioners. Rather\, project constraints and contexts may be an alternative lens for how engineers organize their knowledge. This research implemented two methodologies to examine the role of concepts in engineering practice\, gathering concept inventory responses from practicing civil engineers\, and studying the use of concepts in the design of a roundabout. Students perform better than practicing engineers on statics\, fluid mechanics\, and mechanics of materials concept inventory questions. Concepts in engineering practice related to roundabout design do not have static abstracted representations\, but are continuously negotiated\, abstracted\, and represented in multiple forms. The explicit and implicit organization of concepts in engineering education may not be ideal for learning or preparation for the engineering workplace.

Waggoner Lecture on Ethics & Values in Medicine. Carr will give a talk focused on human trafficking victims and the advancement of comprehensive domestic and international anti-trafficking policies. This lecture will be held on Wednesday\, November 1 at 4:00 p.m. at Ford Auditorium in University Hospital.\n\nProfessor Carr’s work focuses on driving paradigm shifts in the way human trafficking victimization is perceived and addressed\, and helping reintegrate victims by developing legal solutions that address the complex issues of coercion and victimization around compelled service and its aftermath.\n\nAs the founding director of the U-M Law School’s Human Trafficking Clinic (the first clinical law program solely devoted to addressing this issue comprehensively)\, Professor Carr\, her colleagues\, and a new generation of trainees have provided free legal services to victims since 2009\, supporting the wide-ranging needs of men\, women\, and children\, both foreign nationals and U.S. citizens\, who have been victimized by a range of trafficking crimes.\n\nUsing the U-M clinic as a model\, Professor Carr is working with university partners around the world to develop similar programs to combat human trafficking and train law students\, and has helped establish university law clinics in Mexico\, Ethiopia\, and Brazil to broaden the network of legal experts who can address the issues of compelled service that transcend international borders. She is the lead author of the first casebook on human trafficking law and policy\, which examines the cross-section of criminal justice\, civil and human rights\, immigration\, and international law that frames these issues.\n\nThe University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry established the Raymond W. Waggoner Lectureship on Ethics and Values in Medicine in 1996. This lectureship was created in honor of the late Dr. Waggoner\, emeritus professor and past chairman of the department of psychiatry\, who throughout his career and to all who knew him\, has exemplified the highest standards of integrity and ethics.\n\nThe esteemed lectureship is an annual event to recognize Dr. Waggoner’s enormous contributions to the University of Michigan medical center and to the profession\, and to promulgate his interest in medical ethics.\n\n \n\nFor further information\, please contact:\n\nDebra Pinals\, M.D.\n734-232-0352\ndpinals@med.umich.edu\n\n or\n\nSandra Glover\nAdministrative Assistant Senior\nUniversity of Michigan Department of Psychiatry\n734-232-0352\nsandig@med.umich.edu UID:44774-9977680@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44774 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Law,Medicine,Pre-Health,Pre-Law,Public Health LOCATION:University Hospitals - Ford Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171101T181635 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171101T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171101T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Blazing a Trail: Towards Imaging Super-Earth from the Ground and Space DESCRIPTION:The discovery and characterization of extrasolar planets has been data-driven: clearly there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophies. As the demographics of the myriad diverse systems becomes known\, we begin to piece together the larger story of their formation and evolution. Ultimately\, we seek to understand the prospects for life elsewhere in the Universe. In addition to this scientific quest\, 'exploration' also plays a role. In particular\, the nearest star systems provide an opportunity to explore in detail strange new worlds. The recent announcement of a planet < 10 Mearth in the liquid-water zone of Proxima Centari sent shock waves through the community. What is the nature of this planetary system found in our own galactic backyard? Could it be habitable? How will we know and when? Here we will review recent progress in imaging planets from the ground\, contributions the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope will make in imaging sub-Saturns (perhaps with habitable moons) at larger orbital radii\, and complementary work to be done by next generation Extremely Large Telescopes in thermal emission as well as NASA's WFIRST-AFTA in reflected light\, which will enable us to image terrestrial planets around the nearest stars by the end of the next decade.\n UID:44698-9968978@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44698 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171020T091324 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171101T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171101T190000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Horizons of the Movement: Discussing the Future of Racial Justice Organizing at Michigan with Black Activists from BAM I to the Present DESCRIPTION:Horizons of the Movement will bring together multiple generations of Black activists who attended the University of Michigan and fought for racial justice from 1970 to present\, including BAM I\, BAM II\, BAM III\, #BBUM\, Students 4 Justice\, and Black Student Union.

Prior theory is incomplete\, however\, and prior empirical studies have lacked comprehensive and reliable data on firm-level bribery decisions. We offer a new theoretical prediction and a novel data set on high-level corruption in South Korea\, where the accounting records of two presidents in the 1987–1992 era were exposed to after-the-fact legal and public scrutiny. We find that\, controlling for a range of alternative explanations\, the threat of falling high status—that is\, the combination of longstanding high social status with current-period mediocre economic performance relative to that of industry peers—is a significant predictor of increases in the amount of large-scale corporate bribery.\n\nJordan Siegel is an Associate Professor of Strategy and Michael R. and Mary Kay Hallman Faculty Fellow at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Professor Siegel is also a Research Fellow at the William Davidson Institute and an Associate-in-Research at the Harvard Korea Institute of the Harvard Asia Center.\n\nProfessor Siegel specializes in the study of how companies gain competitive advantage through their global strategy. Professor Siegel finds that there are numerous opportunities for companies to attain superior sustainable corporate performance through creative strategies for corporate governance and human resource management.

These features are tightly linked to its structure\, in which base-pairing interactions give rise to a highly folded macromolecule. Indeed\, in addition to the genetic code\, which specifies the composition of proteins\, we now know there is a secondary layer of information encoded in every transcript in the form of RNA structure that can regulate processes as diverse as splicing\, localization\, and translation efficiency. Our lab has developed approaches to probe RNA structure at single molecule and single nucleotide level\, which are capable of detecting alternative RNA structures forming from the same underlying sequence. Application of these approaches to Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) reveals HIV-1 genomic RNA structure heterogeneity with novel functional implications. \n \nSilvia Rouskin (MIT Whitehead Institute) UID:45520-10200818@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45520 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171025T102950 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171101T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171101T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 Seminar: William J. Cook\, University of Waterloo DESCRIPTION:Title: The traveling salesman problem with road distances\n\nNOTE: This seminar will not be recorded by request of the speaker\n\nAbstract: Following Dantzig\, Fulkerson\, and Johnson\, we show that a certain tour of 49\,603 sites in the US is shortest possible\, measuring distance with point-to-point routes obtained from Google Maps.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593371@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170908T145419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

Cells respond to these mechanical signals through a poorly understood process called mechanotransduction. A clearer understanding of this process will lead to improved methods for manipulating cell behavior in engineered tissues and increased understanding of mechanosensitive disease states\, such as atherosclerosis and cancer. As mechanotransduction is likely due to force-induced conformation changes in load-bearing proteins\, we develop and use protein-based biosensors that exhibit force-dependent changes in the color of emitted light. This technology enables dynamic measurements of mechanical forces at the molecular level that are innately compatible with concepts and approaches common in molecular biology and biophysics\, uniquely enabling mechanistic studies of mechanotransduction. The current challenge is developing approaches that reveal the effects of mechanical loading on protein function in living cells. In this talk\, I will discuss our efforts to develop new assays for probing the relationship between protein load and the composition of key sub-cellular structures as well as the relationship between protein loading and protein dynamics. I will conclude with a discussion of how these techniques are changing our understanding of the mechanisms cells use to detect and respond to mechanical cues.\n\nDr. Brenton Hoffman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University where he is the principal investigator of the Cell and Molecular Mechanobiology Laboratory.

She studies authoritarian politics\, with a focus on democratization\, \nconflict\, and development. She has written four books on dictatorships and development\, and her work has appeared in multiple academic and policy-oriented journals.\n\nPopulism is spreading across the globe. Various causes lie behind the populist upsurge\, ranging from increased economic hardship to frustrations with \nglobalization. The consequences are worrisome. Today’s populist wave is paving the way for competitively elected leaders to subtly dismantle their countries’ democratic institutions. This form of transition to dictatorship in which incumbents slowly chip away at constraints on their leadership is also associated with the initiation of personalist rule\, the most pernicious form of autocracy. \n\nThis is the first in a six-lecture series.

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

She enjoys giving her ceramics new life by taking influence from all kinds of organisms from nature\, such as sea and botanical creatures that inspire her. Konno says she has no control over the birth of her artworks\, they \"just seem to materialize from nowhere.\" Each piece that she creates is an embodiment of her sense of excitement\, energy\, and anticipation for life as she introduces guests to her \"mysterious garden.\"\n\nTomoko Konno (b. 1967) lives in the ancient pottery town of Tokoname while maintaining a studio in Bali\, Indonesia. In her Bali workshop\, art forms resemble exotic plants or sea creatures made in colored porcelain that she exhibits in her installation shows. Konno says that she wishes to express the power of living things and that her ideas “just seem to materialize from nowhere.” Konno is one of a prominent new generation of female ceramicists working in Japan today. The distinct features in her work are the fresh colors\, meticulous detailing\, and the dynamic flow created with the nerikomi technique. Konno is partial to the nerikomi technique\, which she feels is akin to painting with clay in which the medium itself becomes an instrument for painting. She prefers this technique to using brushes for embellishing surfaces\, feeling that the lines created by nerikomi are more natural and allow Konno to express her energy and zest for life. Through use of this technique\, Konno realizes the flower looking creatures\, making them appear more realistic and imaginative and drawing viewers into her mysterious flower garden. While participating in a number of international residency programs\, Konno’s work has been housed at collectors’ homes internationally\, and a number of museum collections including the Detroit Institute of Arts and Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum\, Japan.\n\nThis event is cosponsored by the Detroit Institute of Art.

Relativity and quantum mechanics totally revolutionized the way we describe matter and energy and led to astonishing discoveries and technological advances. In 1900\, the electron had just been discovered and the structure of the atom was just being probed. By 2000\, we could “see” atoms\, use general relativity to correct atomic clocks for use in the GPS system\, produce Bose-Einstein condensates at nano-Kelvin\, detect signatures of the big bang\, and countless other scientific marvels without parallel in human history. But are the paradigms of 20th century physics still robust and useful for the challenges of the 21st century? As Neils Bohr famously said “Prediction is very difficult\, especially if it’s about the future.” (sometimes wrongly attributed to Yogi Bera) so I will avoid that trap to the degree possible. Instead\, I will ruminate about the amazing progress in physics in the past and suggest some of the big challenges that lie ahead in which complexity may play an important role.

What is Your Evidence? A Salafi Therapy in Contemporary Egypt DESCRIPTION:This article examines the notion of evidence (dalil) as it circulates in a revivalist religious therapy in contemporary Egypt to address current transformations of Islamic epistemologies\, especially in relation to modern science. It focuses on Qur’anic healing\, a Salafi-oriented therapy of spirit (jinn) exorcism that has become increasingly popular\, visible\, and debated in the public sphere beginning with the 1980s. By tracing the semantics and pragmatics of Qur’anic healing’s evidentiary regime\, I show that evidence is situated and crosses two domains of knowledge\, bringing together a Salafi episteme that foregrounds unmediated induction from the Qur’an and sunna and forms of reasoning and practice\, like empiricism and experimentation\, that pertain to modern science. In this manner\, evidence functions like a hinge notion that hierarchically links the religious and scientific domains\, giving precedence to the former over the latter. I argue that the centrality of evidence in this novel Salafi therapy is indicative of an epistemology that unites Islam and science under a wider theory of knowledge as transparent\, egalitarian\, and public. This discussion suggests new ways of understanding Salafism beyond common depictions as critical of nontextual sources and intolerant of modern formations.

Should it be? How does the history of the Internet help predict what we should expect for its future? Is net neutrality a lost cause or something worth fighting for? The Internet continues to surprise us as a force for change and disruption in our daily lives and society at large. While it seems as though these significant disruptions are a recent phenomena\, in reality we have seen these profound societal disruptions since the 1990s. In this Teach-Out\, participants will learn how the Internet has affected human communication\, the sharing and discovery of information\, and social interactions. Discussions on current trends and potential ways the Internet will continue to affect society will also be explored\, as well as how learners can empower their own productivity and impact in the ever-evolving landscape of the Internet.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue.

Here\, we consider a two-pronged approach to manipulate the topology of a band insulator\, as well as topological order in a Mott insulator. We first consider monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) [1]\, and show that their low-energy description as massive 2D relativistic fermions fails to hold for optical pumping. Instead\, the added complexity of a realistic materials description leads to a novel mechanism to optically induce topologically-protected chiral edge modes\, facilitating optically-switchable conduction channels that are insensitive to disorder. We develop a strategy to understand non-equilibrium Floquet-Bloch bands and topological transitions directly from ab initio calculations\, and illustrate for the example of WS2 that control of chiral edge modes can be dictated solely from symmetry principles and is not qualitatively sensitive to microscopic materials details. Second\, we extend these ideas to strongly correlated systems and show that pumping frustrated Mott insulators with circularly-polarized light can drive the effective spin system across a phase transition to a chiral spin liquid (CSL) [2]. We show that the transient time evolution of a Kagome lattice Hubbard model is well captured by an effective spin description\, where circular polarization promotes a staggered scalar spin chirality Si . (Sj x Sk) directly to the Hamiltonian level. We fingerprint the ensuing phase diagram and find a stable photo-induced CSL in proximity to the equilibrium ground state.

Thole\, Distinguished Professor and Department Head Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering Department\, Steady Thermal Aero Research Turbine (START) Lab\, Pennsylvania State University\n\nRecent technological advances in the field of additive manufacturing (AM)\, particularly with direct metal laser sintering (DMLS)\, have increased the potential for building gas turbine components with AM. Using DMLS for turbine components broadens the design space and allows for increasingly small and complex geometries to be fabricated with little increase in time or cost. Challenges arise when attempting to evaluate the advantages of DMLS for specific applications\, particularly because of how little is known regarding the effects of surface roughness. This presentation shows resulting pressure drop and heat transfer measurements of flow through as produced microchannels that have been manufactured using DMLS in an effort to better understand resulting roughness effects. Results presented also show the effect of build direction and channel shape on the roughness as well as build tolerances. Results showed significant augmentation of these parameters compared to smooth channels\, particularly with the friction factor for microchannels with small hydraulic diameters. However\, augmentation of Nusselt number did not increase proportionally.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nDr. Karen A. Thole is a Distinguished Professor and Head of the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. She is the founder of the Steady Thermal Aero Research Turbine Laboratory (START) lab\, which focuses on gas turbine heat transfer and is a center of excellence for a major turbine engine manufacturer. She has published over 200 archival papers and advised 70 dissertations and theses. She is currently a nominee to the ASME Board of Governors.

This presentation will highlight our current research in an effort to intervene cancer development through marriage of dendrimer chemistry\, nanotechnology and biomimicry\, focusing on 1) novel nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery and 2) biomimetic devices for effective detection and separation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs).  For targeted drug delivery\, we have developed a hybrid nanoparticle system integrating targeted poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers and poly(lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) nanoparticles. This unique design allowed us to combine the advantages of each nanocarrier\, i.e.\, effective tissue penetration of dendrimers and prolonged circulation of PLA-PEG nanoparticles\, in a controlled manner\, providing a novel delivery platform.  Additionally\, we have also found that the tumor penetration behaviors of nanoparticles are highly dependent upon the size\, surface charge\, and rigidity of the nanoparticles. For CTC capturing\, we have developed a novel separation method using a biomimetic approach combined with nanotechnology. The biomimetic combination of dynamic rolling and multivalent binding via dendrimers significantly enhances the surface capture efficiency of target tumor cells by up to ~150 fold\, compared to a surface with a single cancer cell marker such as aEpCAM. Recent clinical data obtained using our device will be also presented\, which has shown the strong correlation between kinetic CTC profiles and clinical outcomes.  These results indicate that our CTC device with high sensitivity and specificity has great potential to be translated.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSeungpyo Hong (University of Wisconsin) UID:40500-8580300@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40500 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171004T152806 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Communication & Media Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:Mobile communication technologies are often hailed in the popular press and public policy as a means of “giving voice to the voiceless.” Behind the praise are determinist beliefs about technology as a gateway to opportunity\, voice as a metaphor for agency and self-representation\, and voicelessness as a stable and natural category. In this talk\, based on her new book Giving Voice: Mobile Communication\, Disability\, and Inequality (MIT Press\, 2017)\, Dr. Meryl Alper offers a new angle on these established critiques through a qualitative study of individuals with significant communication disabilities who use mobile devices for synthetic speech output. Alper finds that despite widespread claims to empowerment\, these tools are still subject to disempowering structural inequalities. Culture\, laws\, institutions\, and even technology itself can reinforce disparities among those with disabilities across class\, race\, ethnicity\, and gender. Alper argues that voice is an overused and imprecise metaphor in media and communication studies\, one that abstracts\, obscures\, and oversimplifies the human experience of disability. She will discuss implications of her research for our rapidly changing media ecology and political environment\, where the question is not only which voices get to speak\, but also who is thought to have a voice to speak with in the first place.

In an enforced disappearance people literally disappear\, from their loved ones and their community\, when state officials (or someone acting with state consent) grab them from the street or from their homes and then deny it\, or refuse to say where they are.Today it is recognized as a crime under international law. The film is a non-sequential account of personal narratives and reminiscences ruptured by violence. Made over nine years it explores memory as a mode of resistance\, constantly confronting and morphing - from the personal to political\, individual to collective. The film looks at the ways in which those affected by violence have no choice but to remember. \n \nThe screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker\, Iffat Fatima.\n\nIffat Fatima is an independent documentary filmmaker and researcher from Kashmir\, based in Delhi. Since 2006 she is working in Kashmir on the issue of enforced disappearances in collaboration with the Association Of Parents Of Disappeared Persons (APDP)\, a collective of the family members of the victims of enforced disappearances in Kashmir campaigning for information on the whereabouts of their disappeared kin. In 2011\, she made a short film Where Have You Hidden My New Crescent Moon on enforced disappearances. Her most recent film Khoon Diy Baarav (Blood Leaves its Trail) explores issues of violence and memory in Kashmir.\n\nShe very recently did the audio visual design for an exhibition Gold Dust Of Begum Sultans (19 April -10th May 2016) at The Indira Gandhi National Centre for The Arts \, New Delhi. In 2015 she co-edited a compendium Bread Beauty Revolution\, Khwaja Ahmad Abbas (1914-1987). In 2004\, she completed a Fellowship\, Recasting Reconciliation through Culture and the Arts\, at the Brandeis University\, Boston\, USA. In 2001\, she was awarded the Asia Fellowship for her work in Sri Lanka\, Inter-communal Relations and Education: The Sri Lankan Experience. \n\nHer films include\, Lanka- the other side of war and peace\, on the history of overlapping conflicts in Sri Lanka\; The Kesar Saga\, on storytelling in Ladakh\; In the Realm of the Visual\, on one of India’s most prolific and versatile artist and designer\, Dashrath Patel\; Boojh Sakey to Boojh\, on the contemporary understanding of the thirteenth-century Sufi poet and scholar Amir Khusro.

There are social networks of friendship or acquaintance\, infrastructure networks like the internet or the power grid\, transportation networks of roads\, railways or airline flights\, networks of information like the world wide web\, and many others. This lecture will introduce some of the rich history of the study of networks and discuss some of the remarkable advances of the last few years\, when a combination of insights from physics\, the social sciences\, biology\, mathematics\, and computer science have come together to shed light on issues as diverse as the spread of disease\, online dating\, scientific collaboration\, animal behavior\, web search\, and the very structure of human society.\n\nBIO\nMark Newman received a Ph.D. in physics from Oxford University in 1991 and conducted postdoctoral research at Cornell University before taking a position at the Santa Fe Institute\, a think-tank in New Mexico devoted to the study of complex systems. In 2002 he left Santa Fe for the University of Michigan\, where he is currently the Anatol Rapoport Distinguished University Professor of Physics and a professor in the university's Center for the Study of Complex Systems. Among other honors\, he is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a Fellow of the American Physical Society\, he has been a Simon's Foundation Fellow and a Guggenheim Fellow\, and was winner of the 2014 Lagrange Prize\, the largest international prize for research on complex systems. He is the author of over 150 scientific publications and seven books\, including \"Networks\"\, an introduction to the field of network theory\, and \"The Atlas of the Real World\"\, a popular book on cartography.

However\, host immunity to infections is an important source of variation among individuals and we need to take into account how this alters the way climate affects host-parasite interactions. Using a combination of long-term field observations\, field and laboratory manipulations and mathematical modeling of a rabbit-helminth system\, I explore whether heterogeneities in the host immune response exacerbate or suppress the impact of climate warming on the dynamics and persistence of two gastrointestinal helminths. Experimental trials and modelling simulations suggest that non-linearities in the system create complex interactions where climate impacts more heavily some hosts than others and at a specific time of the year.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/RYkxibeXeuE UID:42295-9593431@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42295 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171027T130428 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171102T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: At the Gates of the Temple: Tracing the Boundaries of Political Culture in Ptolemaic Egypt DESCRIPTION:At the gates of ancient Egyptian temples are traces of public space and transcultural politics that have gone misrecognized and neglected in histories of the Hellenistic age (ca. 330-30 BCE). Over three centuries of Ptolemaic rule\, temple gates\, and forecourts emerged as sites of political\, judicial and religious practice that mediated relations between a Macedonian Greek king and a multi-ethnic population\, between the court at Alexandria and the Egyptian countryside. Some practices\, such as the decree on the Rosetta stone\, were glocalizations of widespread genres of discourse\, evidence that Egyptian temples were not worlds apart\, but at a nexus of Mediterranean relations.\n\nIan Moyer is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Michigan. He completed his PhD at the University of Chicago\, and before coming to Michigan\, he taught in the History and Classics departments at Pomona College. He has also been a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. His first book\, entitled Egypt and the Limits of Hellenism\, explores the ancient history and modern historiography of cultural and intellectual encounters between ancient Greeks and Egyptians. This work ranges across the fields of history\, classics\, Egyptology\, and the history of religions\, and addresses problems of culture\, identity and agency in cross-cultural interactions. In his current work\, under the working title \"At the Gates of the Temple\,\" he is examining the gates and forecourt areas of Egyptian temples in the Ptolemaic period as sites of cultural and political mediation and the construction of authority. Together with Adam Lecznar and Heidi Morse\, he is also editing a volume entitled Classicisms in the Black Atlantic\, a collection of essays on the reception and (re)construction of the \"classical\" in the Black Atlantic.\n\nThis lecture is free and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

The trial\, the largest such in the world\, was highly successful at reducing depression. We relocated mothers six years after the end of the intervention to evaluate its long run effects. We find that the intervention increased women's financial empowerment\, increasing their control over household spending\, and that it increased both time- and money-intensive parental investments\, with increases in investments tending to favor girls. We also detect improvements in parenting style among mothers of girls.

Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings. \n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

Lenin's 'The State and Revolution': A Review of an Important Marxist Theoretical Work DESCRIPTION:In anticipation of the upcoming campus event to mark the centenary of the 1917 Russian Revolution (learn more about it here: Why Study the Russian Revolution?)\, the IYSSE will hold a discussion this week on VI Lenin’s political tract The State and Revolution. We will use the recent online lecture From the July Days to the Kornilov Coup: Lenin’s The State and Revolution hosted by the World Socialist Web Site for the discussion. We ask students and youth to listen to the lecture and attend our meeting this Thursday. At the meeting we will collectively try to answer the following questions: What are Marx and Engels’ main conceptions of the state\, and the tasks of the proletarian revolution in relation to the state?What are some of the ways in which the Marxist conceptions of the state have been distorted or rejected? For example by Bernstein\, by Kautsky\, by the Mensheviks?Why did Lenin return to the basics of Marxism on the question of the state after the July Days?How would you answer those who claim the state exists as a means for the reconciliation of the class struggle?Has the state always existed?In what ways does this tract relate to modern political and social developments? For instance in the ongoing events in Catalonia\, or with the increase in police violence in the United States? We will also discuss our plans to promote the November 8 lecture \"Why Study the Russian Revolution?  by WSWS International Editorial Board Chairman David North.

Can those restrictions be justified? \n \nOn one hand\, immigration restrictions seem to impinge on individual liberty. Greater freedom of movement will also make potential immigrants better off. On the other hand\, open-border policies might strain civil society and harm the interests of certain groups of citizens (especially the poor). They are also politically unpopular in democratic countries. Modern political reality further raises the issue of partial border enforcement\, as is presently the case in the U.S. Regardless of whether current immigration restrictions are justified\, is there injustice in selectively enforcing immigration laws? \n \nThe panelists will defend very different answers to these questions. Reihan Salam argues from a conservative perspective that open-border policies will strain important social and political institutions\, in part by dramatically increasing inequality. Michael Huemer argues for the libertarian position against restrictions on immigration on grounds of justice and liberty. And Hrishikesh Joshi contends\, from classical liberal starting points\, that partial border enforcement is both unjust and bad public policy. \n \nThe panel will end with a Q&A session\, and refreshments will be served!

Pamela McClusky\, Curator of African and Oceanic Art\, Seattle Art Museum\, will be the second speaker in this series to contribute reflections on her own groundbreaking work in the display of African art.\n\nMcClusky established a department for the Art of Africa\, Oceania and the Americas at the Seattle Art Museum in the 1980s. It became the museum’s fastest growing department\, receiving several significant collections\, and hosting a vast range of exhibitions. Honoring the depth of the African holdings\, she led a collaborative process with African artists\, scholars\, and advisors to create a national tour\, publication and web resource entitled: Long Steps Never Broke a Back in 2002-2004. \n\nDuring the last decade\, she has collaborated on exhibitions such as Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth\, Gauguin and Polynesia: An Elusive Paradise\, and Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian Ikats. When the Seattle Art Museum expanded in 2007\, she curated multiple galleries of African art\, along with experimental installations that mixed cultural perspectives and cross continental boundaries. In 2012\, she led an effort to place Australian art in the permanent galleries and oversaw an exhibition\, publication and tour called Ancestral Modern: Australian Aboriginal Art. Recently\, she was the lead curator for Disguise: Masks and Global African Art\, a national touring exhibition that combined masks of the past with masquerading of the present\, and Mood Indigo: Textiles from Around the World. She is now working on a new design and interpretation of the African collection galleries which will focus on the distinctions between public and private art and the ways they are presented in museums.\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.\n\nThis lecture series is presented in partnership with the University of Michigan African Studies Center\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of History of Art\, Institute for the Humanities\, and Museum Studies Program. \n\nThe series is presented in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa (on view from August 19-December 31\, 2017).

Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist.

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.

A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696907@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171025T123319 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171103T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171103T150000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Global Operations Conference | Operations in a Dynamic World DESCRIPTION:This year’s Global Operations Conference will focus on “Operations in a Dynamic World.” As the application of technology permeates business practices\, it empowers companies to redefine industry standards.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593372@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170908T145419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171103T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171103T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

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

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

Should it be? How does the history of the Internet help predict what we should expect for its future? Is net neutrality a lost cause or something worth fighting for? The Internet continues to surprise us as a force for change and disruption in our daily lives and society at large. While it seems as though these significant disruptions are a recent phenomena\, in reality we have seen these profound societal disruptions since the 1990s. In this Teach-Out\, participants will learn how the Internet has affected human communication\, the sharing and discovery of information\, and social interactions. Discussions on current trends and potential ways the Internet will continue to affect society will also be explored\, as well as how learners can empower their own productivity and impact in the ever-evolving landscape of the Internet.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!\n\nFind new opportunities at teach-out.org.

He will also teach phrase material from recent works\, including the group dance that he is choreographing at EMU this fall. Hoskins' teaching emphasizes choice-making and agency as a performer\, improviser\, dance maker\, etc.\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. Each 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.

He has been working on the NIOSH Ladder Study since the beginning of 2015. The study focuses on how different ladder configuration\, with different pitching\, rail height and rung spacing\, would affect the biomechanical loads and risk of falls. He is currently involved in an orthotic device design project\, doing biomechanical modeling and post clinic evaluation of patients’ gait using Inertia Measurement Units (IMUs). \n\nAbstract: Ladder climbing is common for painting\, construction\, roofing\, communication tower maintenance\, and firefighting jobs. Biomechanical loads for supporting\, raising and lowering the weight of the body during climbing can cause fatigue and contribute to musculoskeletal disorders. This presentation will show an overview of the NOISH ladder study\, and two primal findings. First finding shows different hand hold style would affect climber’s behavior from both kinematic and biomechanical aspect. Second finding shows that stature could affect foot placement strategy under different pitch\, and a proposed kinematic model to explain it. This finding was demonstrated in AHFE 2017 poster session.

Though he was engaged in prison politics in his native France\, this was probably the first penitentiary the author of Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (1977) was able to enter. In the United States\, Attica unfailingly conjures up memories ofone of the deadliest prison uprisings in American history—the subject of a penetrating and celebrated new study by Heather Ann Thompson. Our symposium aims at bringing these prison histories into dialogue.\n\nProfessor Thompson’s interlocutor\, Bernard Harcourt\, is a political theorist with a focus on penal practices. He edited Foucault’s works on punitive society and counts among the theorists of the carceral state.\n\nLink below to read the interview Foucault gave after his visit to Attica Prison. Hard copies available in the Eisenberg Institute (1521 Haven Hall).\n\nhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/29766617\n\nPresented with support from the Political Theory Workshop and the Department of Political Science.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. We regret that lunch will not be served at this event due to the 1-3 pm timing.\n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

The study aims to examine (1) how speakers utilize various properties in conveying the prosodic aspects of speech\, (2) how listeners integrate these prosodic cues in speech perception\, and (3) whether there is a relation between (1) and (2) at the level of the individual language user: that is\, does a speaker’s production of prosodic patterns influence their perceptual use of those patterns? In this talk\, I will mainly discuss the motivations for and implications of my dissertation.

For more than three decades\, significant theoretical and experimental efforts have been directed towards the search for a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP)\, often overlooking other possibilities. The lack of an unambiguous positive WIMP signal\, at both indirect- and direct-detection experiments and at the LHC\, stresses the need to expand dark matter research into additional theoretical scenarios and\, more importantly\, to develop new experimental capabilities that go beyond the limitations of WIMP detection. In this talk I will shortly review the current status of the field and discuss new theoretical ideas and experimental avenues for searching for light dark matter in the MeV to GeV mass range\, focusing on direct detection experiments.

The critical insight we put forward is that the level of competition in the market determines the type of information that is provided in equilibrium. In our model\, voters can disagree on which issues are important to them and on how each issue in their agenda should be addressed. We show that the level of competition in the market determines how much firms differentiate in terms of the type of information they produce. Importantly\, differentiation leads to higher provision of information on issues where there is higher disagreement in the electorate. Although voters become individually better informed\, voting decisions shift from focusing on valence issues to ideological issues. On aggregate\, the share of votes going to the socially optimal candidate decreases. Our model also highlights how competition in the market for news can have negative welfare consequences even in the absence of behavioral agents or partisan media\, therefore offering a new\, and to some extent more distressing\, perspective on the problem.

Our ancestors likely experienced similar interactions\, but our knowledge of how\, or whether\, early humans migrated or shifted their settlement patterns in response to climatic shifts is hindered by limitations of both the archaeological and paleoclimate record. In this talk\, I will present ways in which we have addressed this issue using biomarker-based reconstructions of aridity in both west and east Africa. We have found compelling evidence that major shifts in early human behavior corresponded with humid/arid transitions\, highlighting the role of rapid climate change in driving migration and lifestyle shifts.

Currently\, empirical and semi-empirical chemical shift predictors are largely insensitive to extreme pH conditions and compute absolute shifts only at physiological pH. Aiming to better understand the manifestation of pH in these NMR observables\, we utilize a combination of MD and DFT calculations for the ab initio computation of NMR chemical shift perturbations (CSP) of model tri-peptides. By altering the protonation state of the titratable residue present in the peptides\, we are able to recapitulate pH effects observed in experimental NMR measurements. Furthermore\, we employ a similar methodology to examine electrostatically driven interactions in proteins. We anticipate that the computation of the pH-dependent CSPs for these systems\, will lead to a generalized protocol through which these observables may be computed for a variety of proteins involved in pH-mediated processes.\n\nand \n\n“Jeffrey Maltas\, Biophysics Doctoral Candidate\, “Collateral sensitivity in Enterococcus faecalis” \n\nAbstract: Often when bacteria populations acquire resistance against an individual antibiotic\, that resistance mechanism carries pleiotropic effects with it resulting in increased resistance or sensitivity to other antibiotics the population has yet to encounter. If these collateral sensitivity and resistance effects can be understood\, and perhaps predicted\, they can be a potent tool to slow down\, or even reverse\, the spread of antibiotic resistance. To date\, the collateral sensitivity and resistance profiles and their molecular basis have only been studied in a few bacterial species and is unknown for Enterococcus faecalis. Here we present the collateral profile for 17 antibiotics to 68 independent populations of E. faecalis. By clustering these mutants using their collateral profiles we find that large collateral effects are predictable\, while the more common\, smaller collateral effects appear to be more random. Additionally\, we highlight the time dependence of collateral effects for the first time in bacteria.

The Eager Fundamentalist: Muslim Mimicry in the Caribbean DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the application of the figure of the postcolonial “mimic man\,” as conceived by V.S. Naipaul\, Derek Walcott\, Homi Bhabha\, and others\, to the Muslim Caribbean. The particular Muslim iteration of the Caribbean “mimic man” who continually imitates and fails to produce the culture of the colonizer is the fullaman\, who is usually depicted in Caribbean literature as a “cultural” Muslim who as a result of geographic displacement to the New World and enslavement (of African Muslims) or indentureship (of South Asian Indian Muslims) knows very little about doctrinal Islam. Through a reading of Jan Lowe Shinebourne’s novel \"Chinese Women\" (2010)\, which explores the religious radicalization of a Guyanese Muslim man as a result of colonial plantation racism\, the speaker argues that contemporary Caribbean Muslims attempt to resist cultural mimicry and hybridity with Islamic particularity\, and that in some cases Muslims' metropolitan cultural referent has shifted from the British colonizer to the idealized Arab Salafist\, thereby bringing the Caribbean into regional Americas discourses on terrorism and the global Muslim Other. \n\nAliyah R. Khan is assistant professor in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the Department of English Language and Literature. Her interdisciplinary research and writing focus on indigeneity\, sexuality\, and Islam in the postcolonial Caribbean and its diasporas. Professor Khan's current book project is a study of Islam in the Caribbean imaginary that comparatively considers Indo- and Afro-Muslim literary figuration and creolization discourses in Guyana\, Trinidad\, Jamaica\, and Suriname. Her dissertation\, \"Calling the Magician: The Metamorphic Indo-Caribbean\,\" was awarded the 2011-2012 UC President's Dissertation Fellowship. Professor Khan's teaching interests include Caribbean and Muslim postcolonial literatures\, critical theory\, the posthumanities and animal theory\, gender and sexuality\, graphic novels\, and creative writing (fiction).

Naipaul\, Derek Walcott\, Homi Bhabha\, and others\, to the Muslim Caribbean. The particular Muslim iteration of the Caribbean “mimic man” who continually imitates and fails to produce the culture of the colonizer is the fullaman\, who is usually depicted in Caribbean literature as a “cultural” Muslim who as a result of geographic displacement to the New World and enslavement (of African Muslims) or indentureship (of South Asian Indian Muslims) knows very little about doctrinal Islam. Through a reading of Jan Lowe Shinebourne’s novel \"Chinese Women\" (2010)\, which explores the religious radicalization of a Guyanese Muslim man as a result of colonial plantation racism\, the speaker argues that contemporary Caribbean Muslims attempt to resist cultural mimicry and hybridity with Islamic particularity\, and that in some cases Muslims' metropolitan cultural referent has shifted from the British colonizer to the idealized Arab Salafist\, thereby bringing the Caribbean into regional Americas discourses on terrorism and the global Muslim Other. \n\nAliyah R. Khan is assistant professor in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the Department of English Language and Literature. Her interdisciplinary research and writing focus on indigeneity\, sexuality\, and Islam in the postcolonial Caribbean and its diasporas. Professor Khan's current book project is a study of Islam in the Caribbean imaginary that comparatively considers Indo- and Afro-Muslim literary figuration and creolization discourses in Guyana\, Trinidad\, Jamaica\, and Suriname. Her dissertation\, \"Calling the Magician: The Metamorphic Indo-Caribbean\,\" was awarded the 2011-2012 UC President's Dissertation Fellowship. Professor Khan's teaching interests include Caribbean and Muslim postcolonial literatures\, critical theory\, the posthumanities and animal theory\, gender and sexuality\, graphic novels\, and creative writing (fiction). She has also taught courses on Black Britain in the U-M Center for Global and Intercultural Study's program in London\, United Kingdom\; co-organized the recent \"Black Feminist Think Tank\" and \"How Sweet It Is: Conjuring the Caribbean\" University of Michigan conferences\; and been featured on Chicago's Radio Islam as a commentator on contemporary Muslim and Islamic literatures.

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

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from.

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696908@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170815T140715 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171104T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171104T180000 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 UID:42280-9593373@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171105T120020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171104T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171104T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Bald Eagle Collegiate Invitational Regatta DESCRIPTION:Regatta in Indianapolis\, IN  UID:42765-10535373@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42765 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Indianapolis, IN CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171119T063012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171104T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171104T100000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Give 'Em What They Want: Career Competencies all Employers are Looking for and How to Get Them DESCRIPTION:If you are in Handshake\, Click \"Join event\" to RSVP* Not in Handshake?

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

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

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