SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Louis and Helen Padnos Lecture Series: \"Intersex Bodies in Tosefta Bikkurim\"
DESCRIPTION:The androgynus is defined by the anonymous majority in Tosefta Bikkurim\, chapter 2\, as sometimes male\, sometimes female\, sometimes both and sometimes neither. A minority opinion even goes so far as to claim that the androgynus is sui generis. But does this definition\, or even the Tosefta’s attempt at creating a halakhic framework for the androgynus\, constitute “providing a means for integrating the androgynus into mainstream culture?” This lecture explores the question\, “does the category of androgynus as defined by Tosefta Bikkurim offer us a new look at gender\, or does it\, once again\, confine us to a binary system of male and female?” This will be explored through an examination of the halakhic status of the androgynus\, as well as through a literary reading of the text itself.\n\nImage: © Sharon Gershoni\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gloss: Modeling Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on the prominent role of women as the subject of photography\, GLOSS: Modeling Beauty explores the shifting ideals of female beauty that pervade European and American visual culture from the 1920s to today. The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mind-Body Awareness: Traditional Chinese Kung Fu Philosophy and Practice with Grandmaster Sam F.S. Chin
DESCRIPTION:Grandmaster Sam Chin will share with you his experience and how practicing the path of I Liq Chuan could help with daily activities such as your work and studies\, as well as person living with physical disabilities specifically cerebral palsy.\n\nGrandmaster Sam Chin was born in Malaysia and trained martial arts since childhood by his father – the founder of I Liq Chuan\, Chin Lik Keong.  During the 1980’s\, GM° Sam Chin won numerous competitions\, as well as the state heavy weight kickboxing championships of Malaysia\, Selangor in 1978.\n\nAfter he immigrated to the United States with his family in the early 1990’s\, he then spent the next ten years working and teaching martial arts at the famous Chuang Yen Monastery in Carmel\, New York. There\, Master Sam F.S. Chin was exposed to numerous dharma and meditation masters. A breakthrough came about when he attended a dynamic mindfulness and awareness retreat taught by a well known Thailand monk – Ven. Achan Tong. Master Sam Chin developed the ability to observe the vicissitudes of the mind and physical body\, realizing back to simplicity and the base of origin. This started his inquiry into the neutral path\, which later became The Path of I Liq Chuan (pronounced Yi Leek Chi-uan)\, and eventually lead to the founding of Zhong Xin Dao in early 2016. With this penetrating clarity\, he introduced Zen philosophy into his family art.  Master Sam F.S. Chin began to distill unifying principles\, further clarifying the essential body mechanics and sensory experiences\, and their relationship to mental awareness.\n\nIn August 2009\, at the age of 55 Grandmaster Sam F.S. Chin is officially named the Gate Keeper / Lineage Holder of the art by his father\, founder of I Liq Chuan\, Chin Lik Keong.\n\nHe was also recognized by the USA Wushu Kung-Fu Federation\, an official member of the International Olympic Committee\, as a Hall of Fame Outstanding Master.\n\nIn January 2016\, China’s largest national television network CCTV aired a near 90 minutes documentary on Master Sam F.S. Chin and his family art. The documentary shows the scope of the I Liq Chuan’s invaluable teachings through Zhong Xin Dao philosophies of the neutral path\, enhancing the lives of people living with blindness\, physical handicaps\, and the elderly.\n\nMaster Sam F.S. Chin passion shows through his teachings as he shares his family art selflessly for those seeking self-improvement. He created the grading system to ensure the art is transmitted transparently for years to come. There are now certified instructors and authorized group leaders in over 20 countries and credited courses in universities helping students learn how to learn.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: The Internet and You
DESCRIPTION:Can the Internet be controlled? 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.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Guided Tour - Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished Stamps School of Art and Design professor Jim Cogswell has been invited to create a series of public window installations at the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. 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. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Sino-American Relations and \"Ping-Pong Diplomacy\,\" 1971-1972 (Sept.15-Dec. 22\, 2017)
DESCRIPTION:During the early 1970s\, the two large countries at either end of the Pacific shaped the restless world in their own ways. China was moving full steam ahead on the Cultural Revolution. The U.S. was grappling with a series of domestic and international problems including the Vietnam War. Mired in ideological opposition\, U.S.-China relations had been hostile since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Getting these Cold War foes to reconnect with each other looked like a mission impossible. Curiously\, Ping-Pong emerged to play an important role in bringing U.S.-China relations to rapprochement in the early 1970s and finally to normalization in 1979. \n\nThe historically significant Ping-Pong exchanges between China and the U.S. held in 1971 and 1972\, which came to be called “Ping-Pong Diplomacy” (乒乓外交 pingpang waijiao) in English\, were nicknamed xiaoqiu zhuandong daqiu 小球转动大球 (small ball spins the big globe) in Chinese. Unbeknownst to many\, Michigan played a key role in the 1972 exchanges. \n\nFeaturing an authentic Ping-Pong-table-sized panel that details highlights of these exchanges\, this exhibition commemorates the 45th anniversary of the Chinese Table Tennis Delegation’s historic visit to the U.S. in 1972\, especially to Ann Arbor and the U-M. Curated by Chinese Studies Librarian Liangyu Fu\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, the Confucius Institute\, and the Asia Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:10th Annual Michigan Pre-College and Youth Outreach Conference
DESCRIPTION:World economies are increasingly driven by knowledge and information\; the effects of globalization require greater civic engagement and cultural literacy. Postsecondary education remains the best way for civic actors to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in our evolving global landscape. Launched in 2009\, the Big Goal sought to spur a college attainment rate of 60% in America by 2025. Although modest progress has been made\, the US continues to lag behind other industrialized countries and the majority of college graduates are from privileged backgrounds. While 70% of jobs in Michigan now require training beyond high school\, the state lags behind the nation’s average for college attainment and fewer than a quarter of the state’s high school graduates are college-ready. We must do better.\n\nAt the Michigan Pre-College and Youth Outreach Conference\, we will examine challenges to postsecondary attainment and explore opportunities to address them. Increasing access to postsecondary opportunities for low-income\, first-generation and underrepresented college students will benefit the state and our nation. Scholars\, researchers\, and practitioners will demonstrate the impact of promising approaches to inform\, engage and inspire Michigan’s youth to pursue postsecondary education. Together\, we can address The Urgency of College Access.\n\nAdditional supporters include:\nMichigan State University Office of University Outreach and Engagement\nMichigan College Advising Corps\nGrand Valley State University\nWestern Michigan State University\nSaginaw Valley State University\nUniversity of Michigan-Dearborn

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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Aerospace Department Seminar - Moving Towards Autonomous UAS Operations
DESCRIPTION:Darryl Jenkins is Chairman and Executive Director of the American Aviation Institute\n\nThe birth of the UAS commercial industry came from multiple places. A lot of the technology used in the commercial UAS industry is flowing downhill from Defense in a miniaturized form. At the same time\, the UAS industry is also transitioning from a hobbyist to a commercial industry. Commercial UAS is one of the few high tech startups to begin as a black market.\n\nEconomics rule this industry and dictate the physics and engineering.  The fundamental axiom of all UAS economics is it is a disruptive technology.  This means commercial platforms will be small\, fly low and not very fast. While the potential economic impact is very large\, the economic impact of line of sight UAS is relatively insignificant. The biggest economic impact is when we get to autonomous UAS. The micro-economic uses facing us are rather straight forward and we have abundant case studies to manage these.  The macro-economic issues are mostly exogenous threats. The largest exogenous threat is the FAA and lack of industry agreement.\n\nThe industry we are really talking about is not UAS manufacturing\, but rather remote imagining as that is where we use UAS. The areas of interest to all autonomous vehicles are AI and sensors.  It appears autonomous cars are well in the lead and UAS can learn from them.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDarryl Jenkins is Chairman and Executive Director of the American Aviation Institute. He is the founder of the George Washington University Aviation Institute\, a past professor at GWU and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University\, adviser and consultant to airlines and aviation companies and author of the Handbook of Airline Economics and ten other aviation related books. He is also the author of the forthcoming two volume \"Advanced Commercial UAS Economics.\"

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Digital Pedagogies Lightning Talks and Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Have you been thinking about integrating digital technologies\, social media\, and/or other kinds of pedagogical initiatives using digital platforms into a new or existing course? Would you like to learn about innovations in classroom projects in a peer-facilitated setting?\n\nIn this workshop\, doctoral students in the humanities will deliver 8-minute lightning talks on their pedagogical innovations. Participants will also interact with presenters and explore key ideas in break-out sessions after the lightning talks. Register here: https://crlt.umich.edu/events/digital-pedagogies-lightning-talks-and-workshop-0\n\nParticipation in the entirety of this workshop can count toward Requirement ‘B2’ of the Graduate Teacher Certificate (GTC) or Requirement ‘G’ of the Graduate Teacher Plus Certificate in Digital Media (GTC+).\n\nFacilitators:\nTazin Daniels (CRLT)\nKush Patel (Institute for the Humanities)\n\nStudent Presentations:\n\n\"Assigning the Podcast Essay to Amplify Student Voice\" by Emily R. Sabo (Linguistics)\n\nThis talk is about creating podcasts in the undergraduate classroom. It is especially relevant for teachers who want to either give their students a new way of thinking about writing or inspire them to take more ownership of their own ideas. Resources to be discussed include freesounds.com\, ClipGrab software\, Audacity\, and sample podcasts databases.\n\n\"Integrating Student Podcasts with Other Forms of Digital Reflection\" by Jana Wilbricht (Communication Studies)\n\nFor my Spring 2018 course Indigenous Media — Production\, Regulation\, and Social Activism\, students will create an e-portfolio\, reflecting creatively on their thoughts\, questions\, and learning processes through text\, image\, video\, and sound. Given the focus on media production\, students will also create a podcast based on their interviews with Indigenous media producers who will visit our course as guest speakers.\n\n\"Speaking with the Dead: Digital Oral History for the Premodern Classroom\" by Paula R. Curtis (History)\n\nThis presentation will consider how premodern specialists can integrate skills in public scholarship and digital media pedagogies into their undergraduate classrooms by combining “traditional” primary source analyses with innovative content creation through digital publishing platforms such as Scalar.\n\n\"Student as Knowledge-Maker: Digital Pedagogy in the Early Modern Classroom\" by Amrita Dhar (English)\n\nThis talk will explore the use of digital tools and methods towards students' connections with and ownership of challenging historical material. In particular\, it will explore the role of transcriptions and digital corpus-creation in a course on early women's writing.\n\n\"Where are you from? Combining Maps\, Text And Multimedia Content To Make Afro Presence Visible in Argentina\" by Marisol Fila (Spanish)\n\nThis talk is about integrating maps with narrative text\, images and multimedia content in the context of an undergraduate course. I will discuss the use of the platform Story Maps to create a digital project that will serve as the final assignment for a Spanish course about the Afro presence in Argentina.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:II Round Table. A New Look at an Old Issue: Implications of North Korea's Provocations
DESCRIPTION:If it is true that \"there is no such thing as bad publicity\,\" North Korea has been wildly successful in its publicity campaign abroad. Recognizing this blackhole that the topic tends to create\, this round table will go beyond North Korea. By using the country as a unifying theme\, the discussions will touch on the larger implications\, such as what lessons North Korea provide for theories regarding inter-state cooperation\, international law\, and geopolitics of Northeast Asia. A 'new look' at an 'old issue' captures this aim to use North Korea as a mirror to assess where we are and the general state of the world\, rather than what Pyongyang is or is not doing.\n\nPanelists:\n\nRobert Axelrod\, Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\; Department of Political Science\n\nKristina Daugirdas\, Michigan Law School\n\nInyeop Lee\, Spring Arbor University\n\nJohn Park\, Harvard Kennedy School\n\nSara Pozzi\, College of Engineering Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Nam Center for Korean Studies\, Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences Department\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special MIRA - U-M Physics Department Seminar | The Tragic Destiny of Mileva Marić Einstein
DESCRIPTION:What were Albert Einstein's first wife’s contributions to his extraordinary productivity in the first years of his career? A first biography of Mileva Marić was published in Serbian in 1969 but remained largely unknown despite being translated first in German\, then in French in the 1990’s. The publication of Mileva and Albert’s love letters in 1987 brought more information but more recently\, two very well documented publications shed even more light on Mileva Marić’s life and work. I will review this evidence in its social and historical context to give a better idea on her contributions. The audience will be able to appreciate why such a talented physicist has been so unkindly treated by history.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nPauline Gagnon was born in Chicoutimi in Quebec\, Canada in 1955. She received a B.Sc. in Physics from Université du Québec à Montréal in 1978 and taught physics for   six years in local colleges. After moving to California\, she first obtained a Masters degree at San Francisco State University then completed a PhD in particle physics at the University of California in Santa Cruz in 1993. She joined a research team from Carleton University in Ottawa to conduct research at CERN\, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics located near Geneva. She later became Senior Research Scientist at Indiana University until she retired in 2016. She contributed to the construction of a tracking device for the ATLAS detector\, and searched for dark matter particles in the decays of Higgs bosons and in the form of hypothetical particles called dark photons.\n\nFrom 2011 until 2014\, she worked within the CERN Communication group\, writing blogs for the Quantum Diaries and answering questions from numerous media worldwide. Explaining particle physics in simple and accessible terms has become her trademark. Since 2013\, she has given more than 80 presentations to large audiences in eight countries on three continents. Her popular science book Who Cares about Particle Physics: Making Sense of the Higgs boson\, the LHC and CERN goes beyond the current research program at CERN\, looking at how research is done by large international teams and exploring the importance of fundamental research in physics. With this book\, she hopes to reach even larger audiences\, being convinced that particle physics is too much fun to leave it only to physicists!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reading: Social Class Voices: Student Stories from the University of Michigan Bicentennial
DESCRIPTION:In Social Class Voices: Student Stories from the University of Michigan Bicentennial (October 2017\, Michigan Publishing) U-M undergraduates and recent alumni -- born to the working poor\, working\, middle\, upper-middle\, and upper-classes -- examine the effects of social class on their families\, their K-12 school experiences\, as well as their undergraduate years in Ann Arbor.  We hear about insecurities and challenges of growing up in poverty\, increasing tensions of being born to the working and middle classes\, and comforting certainties of upper-middle and upper-class lives.  Anthology contributors will be reading portions of their essays highlighting critical social class experiences.  A Q/A will follow the readings.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carrigan Lecture in Music Education: David Myers\, Univ. of Minn.
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary concerns in the performing arts include the complex issues of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) and nurturing musician-citizens. Despite decades of rhetoric\, funder investments\, and endless well-intended initiatives\, the goal of richly “colorful” artists and audiences in Western classical music remains elusive.  Similarly\, classical music institutions struggle to engage in authentic ways with diverse communities. As the music field at-large seeks to assure its relevance and value to humanistic and social well-being\, initiatives must move beyond the superficiality of recruiting musicians of color into Western European practice and short-term pandering to audiences.  This presentation will explore the ecological complex of curricular\, performing\, learning\, and operational issues essential to access and equity\, including active music-making and valuing across cultures and traditions.  It will also consider how higher education can incubate collaborative models and strategies that lead\, rather than follow\, transformative change in professional practice.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Georg\, Siegfried Kracauer
DESCRIPTION:Chair Johannes von Moltke of Germanic Languages and Literatures will host a reading and discussion of German author Siegfried Kracauer's novel Georg\, joined by the translator Carl Skoggard and publisher Patrick Kiley. \n\nAbout Georg: Best remembered today for his brilliant study of early German cinema\, From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological Study of the German Film\, and for his involvement with the Frankfurt School (he mentored Theodor Adorno)\, Siegfried Kracauer (1889-1966) was the editor for cultural affairs at Germany's leading liberal newspaper\, the Frankfurter Zeitung\, during the Weimar Republic until its disastrous end. His novel Georg is a panorama of those years\, as seen through the eyes of a rookie reporter working for the fictional Morgenbote (Morning Herald). In a defeated nation seething with extremism right and left\, young Georg is looking for something to believe in. For him\, the past has become unusable\; for nearly everyone he meets\, paradise seems just around the corner. But which paradise? Kracauer's grimly funny novel takes on a confused and dangerous time which may remind us of our own.\n\nCarl Skoggard was trained as a musicologist and for many years served as an editor for the music bibliography Repértoire International de la Littérature Musicale (RILM)\, New York\, where he was responsible for German materials. His translation of Ein Jahr in Arkadien\, an 1805 gay fiction by Duke August of Saxe-Gotha and Altenburg\, appeared in 1999 as Year in Arcadia. More recently he was also the staff writer for Nest: A Quarterly of Interiors\, an award-winning magazine created by his partner Joseph Holtzman. Skoggard’s latest project\, is a translation of Siegfried Kracauer’s Weimar novel Georg. This is a brilliantly cinematic\, darkly comic evocation of that troubled era. Skoggard lives in Valatie\, New York\, with Holtzman and assorted animals.\n\nPatrick Kiley is a UofM Grad (English\, '02) and has served as a research curator and writer for books and exhibitions at Yale's Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library and the New York Public Library. In 2014 he opened Publication Studio Hudson\, one of several in a network of on-demand book publishers in the Americas and Europe. PS Hudson focuses especially on prose\, poetry\, artist books and translation. PS Hudson and Patrick have since moved slightly north to Troy\, New York. \n\nJohannes von Moltke is the Chair of the Germanic Languages and Literatures Department at U-M and the author\, most recently\, of The Curious Humanist: Siegfried Kracauer in America.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact Germanic Languages & Literatures at 734-764-8018 or germandept@umich.edu.

Inspired by Shakespeare’s play\, and written at the age of 17\, Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture takes listeners through a journey of imagination and wonder. The concert continues with Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun\, an enchanting and trance-like piece that influenced many succeeding composers and compositions. The concert closes with Schumann’s Symphony No. 4\, a timeless work written during one of Schumann's happiest and most prolific years.

DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Cut Ups: Paper Collage
DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Under Covers: Encaustic & Mixed Media
DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Tuesday Lecture Series | Consuming Belief: Han Chinese Practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism in the PRC
DESCRIPTION:Please note the new time and location for our 2017-18 lecture series.\n\nIn the context of a perceived spiritual and moral crisis in Chinese society\, growing numbers of Han Chinese are turning to Tibetan Buddhism for ethical guidance. This talk\, based on an ethnographic study of a group of affluent\, urban Han Chinese followers of Tibetan Buddhism\, examines the sources of the appeal of Tibetan Buddhism for wealthy Chinese and the range of ways in which they integrate Buddhist principles and ritual practice into their lives as well as some of the tensions that have emerged in communities of followers. For some\, donations to Tibetan lamas serve as a form of “spiritual protection money” that will safeguard their businesses and enhance their careers\, while for others\, Buddhist principles become the basis for dramatic moral and social transformation. \n    \nJohn Osburg is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Rochester. He received his PhD in anthropology from the University of Chicago in 2008. Prior to his current position\, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Chinese Studies at Stanford University. His research interests include morality\, corruption\, luxury consumption\, gender and sexuality\, and spirituality in contemporary China. Osburg’s first book\, Anxious Wealth: Money and Morality Among China’s New Rich (Stanford\, 2013)\, examines the intersection of China’s market reforms with the local moral worlds and social networks of entrepreneurs and government officials in southwest China. Currently\, he is engaged in two research projects. The first examines the effects of the current anti-corruption campaign on the cohort of businesspeople who were featured in Anxious Wealth. The other project\, based on fieldwork Osburg conducted in 2014 and 2015\, looks at wealthy Han Chinese who have become followers and patrons of Tibetan Buddhism. Professor Osburg is also currently a Fellow of the Public Intellectual Program at the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Bioscience Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk title: Neural predictors of attitude and behavior change:  Self-transcendence effects on intergroup and health outcomes\n\nWhat promotes adaptive attitude and behavior change?  My research program examines self-transcendence\, or the process of redirecting attention from self-interests to the wellbeing of others\, as a key mechanism of increasing receptivity to change.  In this talk\, I will present psychological and neurocognitive mechanisms of self-transcendence that help make people more open to change in the domains of intergroup attitudes and health behavior. In the intergroup domain\, engaging positive other-directed processing can increase considerations of stigmatized outgroup members as potential social partners.  In the health domain\, focusing on interpersonal values increases subsequent receptivity to self-relevant health information and predicts greater longitudinal behavior change.  Across these domains\, a set of social neuroscience investigations relevant to self-transcendence helps develop generalizations about the nature of real-world attitude and behavior change\, with a particular focus on predicting increased receptivity in terms of underlying neural bases of self and social processing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Most of the World’s Languages are Vanishing. Why Should We Care?\" Distinguished University Professorship Lecture
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\nThis lecture argues that we should all mourn the imminent loss of at least half of the world's 7\,000 languages -- for the intellectual wealth that vanishes with each dying language\, and for the shrinking opportunities to improve our understanding\, through language\, of human (pre)history and human cognition.\n\nBIO\nSarah G. Thomason is the Bernard Bloch Distinguished University Professor of Linguistics. She received her B.A. in German from Stanford University and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Linguistics from Yale University. She then taught Slavic linguistics at Yale (1968-1971) and linguistics at the University of Pittsburgh (1972-1998) before moving to the University of Michigan in 1999. Her research focuses primarily on contact-induced language change\, endangered languages\, and Native American languages. Since 1981 she has worked with elders of the Salish and Ql'ispel tribes on the Flathead Reservation in Montana\, compiling a dictionary and text collection for the tribes' language revitalization program. She has published four books and almost 100 articles\, among them articles on Salish-Ql'ispel\, Serbo-Croatian\, Ma'a (Tanzania)\, an 11th-century Arabic pidgin language\, and Chinook Jargon. She has been President of the Linguistic Society of America and editor of its flagship journal Language\, President of the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas\, and Chair of the AAAS section on Linguistics and Language Sciences. She is a Fellow of the Linguistic Society of America and of the AAAS. In 2012 she was awarded the Wilbur Lucius Cross Medal by Yale University's Graduate School Alumni Association.

SUMMARY:Other:A Small Molecule Iron Transporter Promotes Iron Absorption and Hemoglobinization
DESCRIPTION:                                                Many diseases are caused by deficiencies of iron transport proteins that diminish transmembrane iron flux in distinct sites and directions. Because other iron transport proteins remain active\, labile iron gradients build up across the corresponding protein-deficient membranes. We discovered the small molecule natural product\, hinokitiol\, can harness such gradients to restore iron transport into\, within\, and/or out of cells. The same compound promotes gut iron absorption in DMT1-deficient rats and ferroportin-deficient mice\, as well as hemoglobinization in DMT1- and mitoferrin-deficient zebrafish. These findings illuminate a general mechanistic framework for small molecule-mediated site- and direction-selective restoration of iron transport. They also suggest that small molecules that mimic the function of missing protein transporters of iron\, and possibly other ions\, may have potential in treating human diseases.                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nTony Grillo (UIUC)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Africa Workshop with Ray Silverman
DESCRIPTION:For the last 30-40 years mechanically reproduced (printed) religious imagery that originates from outside Ethiopia has been imported in Ethiopia where it has had a profound impact on the visual practices of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewehedo Church. The paper considers the processes by which this imagery has been adopted and adapted by contemporary artists who produce paintings for Orthodox churches as well as the roles it has played in shaping the spiritual lives of Orthodox Christians in Ethiopia.

In 2011\, he joined the faculty of the University of New Mexico as Associate Professor of History. He is a specialist in the social\, cultural\, and intellectual history of the late medieval (fourteenth and fifteenth centuries) Mediterranean Basin\, with geographic foci on the Iberian and Italian Peninsulas. His thematic foci include the history of apocalyptic expectations and apprehensions\; the intersection of magic\, science\, and religion\; and gender and sexuality. With Karolyn Kinane\, he is the co-editor of End of Days: Essays on the Apocalypse from Antiquity to Modernity (McFarland\, 2009)\, the author of A Kingdom of Stargazers: Astrology and Authority in the Late Medieval Crown of Aragon (Cornell\, 2011)\, and the editor of A Companion to the Premodern Apocalypse (Brill\, 2016). He is currently working on a new book-length manuscript on the parameters of magical fraud\, counterfeiting\, and charlatanry\, tentatively entitled And You Will See Wonders: Magic\, Deceit\, and Fraud in Late Medieval Venice. \n\nWith Framing Comments by Carol Lansing: Carol Lansing is a Professor of History at the University of California -- Santa Barbara.  Her work focuses on the society\, politics\, and culture in Medieval Italy.  Her most recent book\, Passion and Order: Restraint of Grief in the Medieval Italian Communes\, explores the thirteenth-century Italian city-states imposed laws on how people should grieve at funerals.  She analyzes why the laws emphasized histrionic female grief\, but in practice stressed not female but male public decorum.She also published The Florentine Magnates: Lineage and Faction in a Medieval Commune and Power and Purity: Cathar Heresy in Medieval Italy. Prof. Lansing also co-edited A Blackwell Companion to the Medieval World.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Beyond the Book: How We Know the Exodus Didn't Happen… and How We Know It Did
DESCRIPTION:The Exodus from Egypt has been the foundation of Jewish ritual and theology for millennia.  There is little to no archaeological evidence to support the canonical tale is more than fiction or myth.  While we know the Exodus didn’t happen as narrated\, embedded within that narrative are echoes of the break with Egypt that did take place beyond the Bible – experienced and remembered in Ancient Israel long before the authors of the Book of Exodus crafted their tale.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Opportunities in Layered Correlated Materials
DESCRIPTION:Correlated materials is one of the central themes in the development of condensed matter physics because of their rich physics such as superconductivity and quantum magnetism. The correlated materials associated with layered structure are even more interesting because of their unique quasi-two-dimensionality. In this talk\, I will discuss the discovery\, synthesis and characterization of two novel layered correlated materials: the strong spin-orbit coupled IrTe_2 and spin jammed (Sr\,Ba)Cr_{9p}Ga_{12-9p}O_{19}.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lloyd Pratt Lecture: \"Free Reading\"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a public lecture by Lloyd Pratt (Oxford)\n\nAbstract: Emerson’s writing has been divided\, remixed\, and reimagined in a variety of contexts. Through the story of one early twentieth-century woman reader\, this talk takes up the question of how these reformulations of Emerson emerged\, as well as how they found themselves subject to new forms of reading. Those new forms of reading developed out of the progressive school reform movements of the first half of the twentieth century\, which had roots in the radical educational theories of nineteenth-century New England and Romantic-era Europe. Located at the level of primary and secondary education in the United States\, both then and now\, these new forms of reading\, including free reading\, came to establish the conditions of possibility for the forms of reading—critical\, close\, surface\, etc. —that now dominate the humanities in the twentieth-century US research university.\n\nLloyd Pratt is Drue Heinz Professor of American Literature at the University of Oxford. He is the author of The Strangers Book: The Human of African American Literature (2015) and Archives of American Time: Literature and Modernity in the Nineteenth Century (2010).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gloss: Modeling Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on the prominent role of women as the subject of photography\, GLOSS: Modeling Beauty explores the shifting ideals of female beauty that pervade European and American visual culture from the 1920s to today. The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. The Red Web Comes to the United States
DESCRIPTION:Despite the gloomy and depressing mood that swept Russia after the Russian government defeated the Moscow protests in 2012 and the patriotic hysteria generated by the annexation of Crimea\, uncensored debates and unrestricted exchange of opinions still remain possible on the Russian internet. The Kremlin certainly didn’t emerge a winner from its first serious collision with the global network. So how did the Kremlin\, once so fearful of the power of the internet and understanding so little about the nature of the global network\, find a way to use it in the United States\, the birthplace of the internet and still its innovative powerhouse? \n    \nAndrei Soldatov is a Russian investigative journalist and co-founder and editor of Agentura.ru\, a watchdog of the Russian secret services’ activities. He has been covering security services and terrorism issues since 1999. He has co-written with Irina Borogan \"The New Nobility: The Restoration of Russia’s Security State and the Enduring Legacy of the KGB\" (PublicAffairs\, 2010) and \"The Red Web: The Struggle Between Russia’s Digital Dictators and the New Online Revolutionaries\" (PublicAffairs\, 2015). The new\, updated edition of \"The Red Web\,\" with a completely new chapter about the US election and Russian interference in 2016\, was published in August 2017.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminars | Searching for weakly-coupled particles: from stars to colliders
DESCRIPTION:Many theories of beyond Standard Model physics include new light\, weakly-coupled particles\, which can be challenging to search for experimentally. I will talk about two observational probes of such particles. The first is based on “stellar cooling”: if new particles are produced in the hot cores of stars\, they can escape from the star and carry away energy\, affecting its structure and evolution. I’ll describe how the plasma environment in stellar cores can parametrically alter the rates for these process\, and how this can significantly change the constraints and discovery potential for some new particle candidates.\n\nI will also discuss searches for light vectors at colliders. Unless these couple to a fully conserved SM current\, the production rate for longitudinal modes is enhanced by (energy / vector mass)^2. This is true even if the current is only broken at loop level\, as for anomalous vectors\, and can result in significantly improved constraints on many models of phenomenological interest.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: The Internet and You
DESCRIPTION:Can the Internet be controlled? 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Giulia Galli: Materials discovery and scientific design by computation: what does it take?
DESCRIPTION:Substantial progress has been made in the last three decades in understanding and predicting the fundamental properties of materials and molecular systems from first principles\, employing electronic structure methods and atomistic simulations. Using specific examples\, I will discuss some predictions obtained for materials for energy conversion processes (photo-catalysis of water and solar cells) as well as some of the major challenges involved in enabling scientific discoveries by computation\; in particular I will touch upon theoretical validation\; and collection and verification of data generated by simulations. I will also discuss some of the theoretical and algorithmic advances required to broaden the scope of properties accessible by current ab initio simulations.\n\nBio: Giulia Galli is the Liew Family Professor of Electronic Structure and Simulations in the Institute for Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago. She also holds a Senior Scientist position at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and she is a Senior Fellow of the UChicago/ANL Computational Institute.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Indigenous Self-Determination for Sovereign Games
DESCRIPTION:From Invaders (an Indigenous take on the classic arcade game Space Invaders that parallels imagined 8-bit alien invasion with the very real process of colonization in Turtle Island) to Thunderbird Strike (a lightning-searing\, talon-tearing attack on oil consumption)\, Elizabeth LaPensée's games offer alternative gameplay from an Indigenous worldview. She will speak to these games and more with an emphasis on their intentions\, self-determined design\, inclusive development process\, and community-focused distribution in the hopes of reifying sovereignty through games.\n\nLaPensée\, Ph.D. is an award-winning writer\, designer\, and artist of games\, comics\, transmedia\, and animation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Force from Non-Equilibrium Fluctuations in QED and Active Matter
DESCRIPTION:The pressure of a gas\, the van der Waals attraction between molecules\, and the Casimir force in quantum electrodynamic (QED) are classical examples of forces resulting from equilibrium (thermal or quantum) fluctuations. Current research on \"Active Matter\" studies collective behaviors of large groups of self-driven entities (living or artificial)\, whose random motions superficially resemble thermally fluctuating particles. However\, the absence of time reversal symmetry leads to unusual phenomena such as directed (ratchet) forces\, and a pressure that depends on the shape and structure of the confining wall. \n\nSome manifestations of QED fluctuations out of thermal equilibrium are well-known\, as in the Stefan-Boltzmann laws of radiation pressure and heat transfer. These laws\, however\, acquire non-trivial twists in the near-field regime of sub-micron separations\, and in the proximity of moving surfaces. I will discuss dissipation in moving steady states\, and the non-Gaussian fluctuations of a particle in a quantum bath.\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Writing History Through Photography: Kojong's Funeral of 1919
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Department of Asian Languages & Cultures.\n\nThis presentation looks into Kojong’s funeral in 1919\, which became a backdrop for the March First Movement. While thousands of people took to the streets in display of modern public awareness and in demand of national independence\, the event took place alongside the carefully-orchestrated funeral procession of the late king Kojong by the Japanese colonial government. This presentation asks how the funeral was re-staged as a modern spectacle and how it was subsequently narrated through photography (and cinema). At the crux of my analysis are the ways in which an age-old monarchical pageantry became an instrument for the narrative strategy of modern history.  When a funeral procession was the dead’s journey to a holy place\, making the place of the dead relevant in history through the sacrialization by ritual\, the eternality of history was turned into the virtual\, memory\, and nostalgia by photography. I compare this photographic narrative to Ûigwe (The Records of Rites and Ceremonies) of the Chosôn dynasty\, and discuss how the depiction of ritual -- repetitive and ephemeral -- became the singularity of event in the freeze frame of photography and in the linear narrative of panoramic cinema. \n \nSe-Mi Oh is an Assistant Professor of Modern Korean History in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures. Her current research focuses on the architectural and urban practices of Colonial Seoul of the 1920s and 1930s.  Her book manuscript entitled Seoul Streets: Surface Matters and Speech Matters examines the relationship between language\, text\, and media in tracing the discursive formation of modernity and colonialism in Korea through urban space.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Right to Maim: Debility\, Capacity\, Disability
DESCRIPTION:In \"The Right to Maim\" Jasbir K. Puar brings her pathbreaking work on the liberal state\, sexuality\, and biopolitics to bear on our understanding of disability. Drawing on a stunning array of theoretical and methodological frameworks\, Puar uses the concept of “debility”—bodily injury and social exclusion brought on by economic and political factors—to disrupt the category of disability. She shows how debility\, disability\, and capacity together constitute an assemblage that states use to control populations. Puar's analysis culminates in an interrogation of Israel's policies toward Palestine\, in which she outlines how Israel brings Palestinians into biopolitical being by designating them available for injury. Supplementing its right to kill with what Puar calls the right to maim\, the Israeli state relies on liberal frameworks of disability to obscure and enable the mass debilitation of Palestinian bodies. Tracing disability's interaction with debility and capacity\, Puar offers a brilliant rethinking of Foucauldian biopolitics while showing how disability functions at the intersection of imperialism and racialized capital.\n\nPresented by IRWG's Colonialism\, Race & Sexualities Initiative (CRSI) with support from Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Department of English\, the Doing Queer Studies Now Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop\, Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies\, the Department of American Culture\, the UM Initiative on Disability Studies\, Disability Studies Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop\, the Department of Women's Studies\, and the Critical Ethnic and Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies Workshop.\n\nJasbir K.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 Seminar: Antoine Legrain\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Title: Online Stochastic Optimization of the Scheduling of a Radiotherapy Center\n\nAbstract: We propose an online stochastic framework (based on Benders and Dantzig-Wolfe decompositions) and illustrate this method on the scheduling of a Radiotherapy Center. Radiotherapy centers can improve their efficiency by optimizing the utilization of the linear accelerators. We schedule patients on such machines taking into account their priority\, their maximum waiting time\, and the preparation of their treatment (dosimetry). This approach ensures the beginning of the treatment on time and thus avoids the cancellation of treatment sessions.\n\nBio: Antoine Legrain has a Bachelor of Engineering and a Ph.D. from Polytechnique Montreal. He is currently working as a Postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Professor Pascal Van Hentenryck on the RITMO project. His thesis tackles online stochastic resource allocation problems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Alpinism and the Art of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:8 November 2017 | 3154 Angell Hall | 5 p.m.\nAlpinism and the Art of Freedom | Bernadette McDonald\n\nIn her recent book Art of Freedom\, mountain author Bernadette McDonald chronicles one of the greatest alpinists of all time\, Voytek Kurtyka. This Polish climber’s visionary approach has resulted in many renowned ascents\, including what has been dubbed the “climb of the century”\, an unrepeated alpine-style ascent of the Shining Wall on the West Face of Gasherbrum IV. Of greater interest than simply the stunning execution of climbs of unsurpassed difficulty\, however\, has always been Kurtyka’s approach to alpinism. While Kurtyka embraced the physical and athletic side of climbing\, he was equally fascinated with the cerebral experience: the constant decision making\, problem solving\, and strategizing that it demanded. Even more important to Kurtyka was the aesthetic aspect of alpinism\, which\, on some ascents\, approached a spiritual level. In Kurtyka’s words: “Beauty is the door to another world. Alpinism is the art of freedom. It offers a creative relationship with the mountain.” In this lecture\, McDonald will discuss her role in bringing this multidimensional individual to the page. Her job remained that of communicating the full scope of the person under discussion\, as well as challenging the reader to be affected in some way by the complexity of a very conflicted\, yet visionary alpinist. McDonald will also show how although not a traditional approach to mountaineering literature\, Art of Freedom offers a window into the world of alpinism\, as practised by the most accomplished and thoughtful of its artists. \n\nBernadette McDonald is the author of several books on mountaineering and mountain culture\, including her most recent Art of Freedom (Rocky Mountain Books\, 2017)\, which has been short-listed for two prestigious awards and is slated for publication in ten languages. A previous title\, Freedom Climbers\, the story of Poland’s golden age of Himalayan climbing\, has been awarded six literary prizes\, including the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature and the Banff Mountain Book Festival Grand Prize. She was awarded Italy’s ITAS Prize for mountain writing and is a three-time winner of India’s Kekoo Naoroji Award for Mountain Literature. In 2011\, the American Alpine Club awarded her their highest honour for excellence in mountain literature. She was the founding Vice President of Mountain Culture at The Banff Centre and director of the Banff Mountain Festivals for 20 years. She has received the Alberta Order of Excellence\, the Summit of Excellence Award from The Banff Centre\, the King Albert Award for international leadership in the field of mountain culture and environment\, and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal. She is also an honorary member of both the Polish Mountaineering Association and India’s Himalayan Club. She lectures and consults for universities\, museums\, festivals and cultural institutions around the world\, and currently serves on the international advisory committee for National Geographic’s Expedition Council. Her discretionary time is spent in the mountains: climbing\, ski touring and hiking.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:The Future of the Military and Civilians in War
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion featuring the following presenters and topics:\n\nHelen Benedict (Columbia University): title forthcoming\nRobert Donia (University of Michigan): “Warriors and Humanitarian Workers: Fraught and Changing Relations from Vietnam to Bosnia and Kosovo” \nIan Fishback (University of Michigan): “Civil-Military Relations in Iraq and Afghanistan Deployments” \nDavid Scott\, MD (Captain\, Medical Corps\, USN (RET)): “Evolution of Military-Humanitarian Healthcare Missions”\nJonathan Marwil (chair\, University of Michigan)\n\nThis symposium explores possible future directions in the realms of war and peace\, focusing on the inextricably entangled nature of these two spheres. Technologies of war and violence\, such as drones and nuclear weapons/energy\, for instance\, also possess many peacetime functions. Humanitarianism similarly blurs the lines between war and peace\, given that humanitarian initiatives may not only respond to situations of war but may aim to forestall it–sometimes through preemptive military actions. With the rise of unconventional and robotic warfare\, too\, the \"front\" becomes a hybrid of fighting and governance\, raising pointed questions as to the future boundaries between civilian and soldier. The three panels comprising this symposium explore these and many other timely issues.\n\nHelen Benedict is a professor of journalism at Columbia University.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:LSA Hack-A-Thon
DESCRIPTION:For more information or to sign up\, visit: myumi.ch/lsadeiplan. Walk-ins are welcome. Pre-registration is optional but helps with organizers' planning.\n\nIn honor of the University-wide DEI Student Summit\, LSA will work with students to design strategic models to inform the College for year two of our plan. Interested students are invited to join us for a “hack” session to respond to\, critique and improve six concrete initiatives to achieve diversity-related goals. \n\nSign up for one – or more – hacks and then join us on November 8th for hands-on sessions. You'll work with peers to revise\, comment on\, or totally revamp these initiatives.\n\nDean Martin and other LSA representatives will be available to answer questions and chat starting at 6:30 p.m. Ready to challenge yourself and hack the LSA Strategic Plan?\n_________________________________\n\nHack #1\nTrain the Trainer: Building Inclusive Classrooms\nChallenge/Opportunity: LSA has over 1\,200 faculty members and over 3\,000 classes per term. Our plan is tailored to this reality. Create an online DEI training module for the faculty\; incentivize them to use it.\n\nHack #2\nTrain your Peers: The 30 for 80 Model\nChallenge/Opportunity: The 30 largest courses on campus reach close to 80% of the undergrad population. Create a flexible module for implicit bias training for use in these classes.\n\nHack #3\nChallenge/Opportunity: We assessed the degree requirement and are continuing to implement changes\, but we want more students to be involved. Help us to rethink the \"Student Advisory Board\" model\; and create a user driven (aka student-centered\, peer-to-peer) map of R&E courses to guide new LSA students in understanding the requirement and selecting courses.\n\nHack #4\nDialogue and Ideological Diversity: The Democracy in Action Model \nChallenge/Opportunity: We increasingly live inside of ideological echo chambers and struggle to talk across differences. Hack the design of The Democracy in Action Fund. \n\nHack #5\nShift Campus Climate: Forming a Critical Mass \nChallenge/Opportunity: It’s a big campus! LSA has over 17\,500 undergraduates\; not all of them are equally engaged. You probably can’t reach everyone. The key\, we think\, is creating critical mass. Hack the design of the LSA Inclusive Campus Corp.\n\nHack #6\noptiMize Transfer Students: Building Bridges to U-M\nChallenge/Opportunity: LSA has committed to increasing the number of transfer students to 1\,200-1\,300 per year. We want a major percentage from community colleges. We want to build “transfer bridges.” Hack the plan to use co-curricular orgs like optiMize to create them.\n\nQuestions? LSAhackathon@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Cut Ups: Paper Collage
DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Under Covers: Encaustic & Mixed Media
DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Searching for Gain: A Journey into Pressure Gain Combustion in Rotating Detonation Engines
DESCRIPTION:Mirko Gamba\, Assistant Professor\, Aerospace Engineering\, University of Michigan\n\nAlthough the concept of using a rotating detonation wave in an enclosed (annular) chamber as a means of effective combustion dates back to the 1960’s\, its use in rotating detonation engines (RDEs) has gained much attention only in recent years because of the thermodynamic benefits it offers in propulsion and power generation systems. The benefit offered by an RDE over conventional constant pressure combustion in traditional systems arises from the fact that chemical energy release occurs at nearly constant volume in a small region across a detonation wave\, rather than in a deflagrating region. Unlike a traditional deflagration-based combustor where a pressure loss up to 5-8% can be experienced\, the constant volume combustion provides an effective compression of the post-combustion gases over that provided by the compression stage. It is this additional compression that results in what is referred to as pressure gain\, which ultimately translates into increased amount of work extracted from the turbine\, making an RDE a pressure gain combustion (PGC) device. In this talk we will give an overview of recent activities on the study of RDEs at U-M. Specifically\, we will discuss an experimental work aimed at investigating the operation and performance characteristics of an RDE operated with different fuel injection schemes and operating conditions. We will focus our attention to one specific configuration\, and we will investigate the characteristics and dynamics of the detonating flowfield in an RDE in an attempt to understand its operation and quantify whether the device can actually produce pressure gain under realistic and practical configurations.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nMirko Gamba is an Assistant Professor in the Aerospace Department. His interests include laser diagnostics for fluids and reacting flows\, low- and high-speed mixing and combustion. His research has focused on experimental investigation of supersonic combustion phenomena in scramjet-type environments\, hypersonic impulse facilities\, development and application of PLIF-based techniques for mixing and thermometry in supersonic flows\, and turbulent nonpremixed combustion.

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME Seminar: Rick Lieber\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Richard L. Lieber\, Ph.D.\nProfessor and Chief Scientific Officer\nShirley Ryan Ability Lab and Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Biomedical Engineering\nNorthwestern University\n \n“Biological and Biomechanical Studies of Skeletal Muscle Contractures”\n \nABSTRACT:  Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue\, responding both to level of use and presense of neural input. After stroke\, spinal cord injury or cerebral palsy (CP) altered neural input can result in muscle contractures. We have studied the mechanics and biology of muscle from children with wrist flexion contractures secondary to CP. Dramatic architectural changes are observed in these children whereby sarcomere lengths are dramatically altered relative to patients without upper motor neuron lesions. This suggests dramatic alterations in the regulation of muscle growth in these children. Biomechanical studies of isolated single muscle cells reveal an increased passive modulus and decreased resting sarcomere length suggesting alterations in the cellular cytoskeleton. Similar studies on small bundles of muscle fiber reveal an increase in the compliance of the extracellular matrix and a proliferation of endomysial connective tissue. Thus\, passive biomechanical properties of muscle from children with CP are dramatically altered in ways that are unparalleled by other altered use models. Gene expression profiling reveals a number of “conflicting” biological pathways in spastic muscle. Specifically\, this muscle adapts by altering processes related to extracellular matrix production\, fiber type determination\, fiber hypertrophy and myogenesis. These transcriptional adaptations are not characteristic of muscle adaptations observed in Duchenne muscular dystrophy or limb immobilization. Superimposed upon the dramatic biological and structural adaptations is a loss in the number of satellite cells that are located throughout the muscle. Even the remaining satellite cells have epigenetic changes that can dramatically influence our ability to rehabilitate these muscles. Taken together\, these results support the notion that\, while spasticity is multifactorial and neural in origin\, significant structural alterations in muscle also occur. An understanding of the specific changes that occur in the muscle and extracellular matrix may facilitate the development of new conservative or surgical therapies for this devastating problem.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Technologies and Instruments of War
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion featuring the following presenters and topics:\n\nPamela Ballinger (University of Michigan): Opening Remarks\nHugh Gusterson (George Washington University): “Robotic War”\nAnna Weichselbraun (Stanford University): “Temporal Grammars of Nuclear Expertise: Forestalling the Future of Disarmament”\n\nThis symposium explores possible future directions in the realms of war and peace\, focusing on the inextricably entangled nature of these two spheres. Technologies of war and violence\, such as drones and nuclear weapons/energy\, for instance\, also possess many peacetime functions. Humanitarianism similarly blurs the lines between war and peace\, given that humanitarian initiatives may not only respond to situations of war but may aim to forestall it–sometimes through preemptive military actions. With the rise of unconventional and robotic warfare\, too\, the \"front\" becomes a hybrid of fighting and governance\, raising pointed questions as to the future boundaries between civilian and soldier. The three panels comprising this symposium explore these and many other timely issues.\n\nPamela Ballinger is Fred Cuny Professor of the History of Human Rights and associate professor of history at the University of Michigan. She is the author of History in Exile: Memory and Identity at the Borders of the Balkans (Princeton University Press\, 2003). She has published on topics such as refugees\, displacement\, ethnic cleansing\, and human rights in journals that include Comparative Studies in Society and History\, Contemporary European History\, Current Anthropology\, History and Memory\, Journal of Modern Italian Studies\, New Global Studies\, and Past and Present.\n\nHugh Gusterson is professor of anthropology and international affairs at George Washington University. Gusterson is the author of Nuclear Rites (University of California Press\, 1996)\, People of the Bomb (University of Minnesota Press\, 2004)\, and Drone (MIT Press\, 2016). He is co-editor of Cultures of Insecurity (University of Minnesota Press\, 1999)\, The Insecure American (University of California Press\, 2009)\, and Why America’s Top Pundits Are Wrong (University of California Press\, 2005). He has a regular column for the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists and for the new public anthropology website\, Sapiens. He has also published in the Washington Post\, the Los Angeles Times\, the Boston Globe\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, the Philadelphia Inquirer\, Science\, Nature\, New Scientist\, American Scientist\, and The Sciences. From 2009-2012 Gusterson served on the Executive Board of the American Anthropological Association\, in which capacity he co-chaired the final phase of approval of the Association’s new ethics code. He is president of the American Ethnological Society\, and was a member of the American Anthropological Association’s Task Force on Engagement with Israel/Palestine.\n\nAnna Weichselbraun is a Stanton Nuclear Security Postdoctoral Fellow at CISAC. She received her PhD in anthropology from the University of Chicago in August 2016. Her book manuscript\, based on twenty-four months of ethnographic fieldwork and multi-archival research\, investigates how nuclear safeguards inspectors\, bureaucrats\, and diplomats at the IAEA negotiate the international and institutional boundaries of politics and technology in their working lives. She asks how organizational products such as bureaucratic procedures\, technical inspection reports\, policy papers\, and official diplomatic statements contribute to the logical ordering of technocratic expertise within the IAEA. She is especially interested in how individuals at international organizations communicate across different epistemic paradigms\, and how particular types of speaking become recognized as authoritative and legitimate. To that end she has begun research on recent nuclear disarmament efforts—which include the newly agreed international treaty to ban nuclear weapons—interrogating how shifts in discursive paradigms and logics have succeeded in breaking the decades-long gridlock on hegemonic nuclear norms.\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WHAT POPULISM IS
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Anderson is John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy and Women’s Studies and Chair of the Philosophy Department at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.  She has taught at UM since 1987\, specializing in moral and \npolitical philosophy\, especially on democratic theory\, egalitarianism and its history\, and the roles of experts and citizens in democratic policy making.\n\nThis talk will explain what populism is and trace its origins to tensions in democracy going back to Rousseau. The speaker will show how populism can be either left-wing or right-wing\, highlight the characteristic messages of populist leaders\, and argue that populism\, although cast as a fulfillment of democracy\, is a threat to it as well as to sound public policy formation.\n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is Populism: The Common People in Modern Politics. The next lecture series will start January 11\, 2018. The title is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Going Small: The Advantage of Nanosatellites
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT —The exploration of space has long been dominated by large flagship missions\, costing hundreds of millions of dollars and timescales spanning entire careers. The rise of nanosatellites\, specifically beginning with the invention of the Cubesat in 1999\, has created a new entrepreneurial growth within the space industry. Advances in power efficiency and miniaturization of electronics has allowed nanosatellites to become more complex in their function.\n\nExamples of the advantages of nanosatellites and their utility will be presented along with the complexities and challenges of integrating such highly dependent systems. This presentation will discuss how Cubesats have evolved from their humble University origins to the industry they are today.\n\nBIO — Hannah Goldberg (BSE MSE EE ‘03 ‘04) is a senior systems engineer at GomSpace\, a commercial provider of Cubesat components\, platforms\, and solutions located in Aalborg\, Denmark. At GomSpace\, Hannah is currently the technical lead in the development of a constellation of communications satellites.\n\nPrior to GomSpace\, Hannah was one of the first few technical employees at Planetary Resources\, where she worked on projects to advance the technologies leading to asteroid prospecting and mining.

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A physical model for efficient ranking in networks
DESCRIPTION:In systems of many individual entities\, interactions and their outcomes are often defined by hierarchies or rankings. While in most cases these rankings are hidden from us\, their presence is nevertheless revealed in the asymmetric patterns of interactions that we observe. For example\, social groups of birds\, primates\, and elephants are organized according to dominance hierarchies in which more powerful animals assert themselves over those less powerful. Social positions are not directly visible to researchers\, but we can infer each animal’s position in social space by observing a sufficient number of interactions. Similar latent hierarchies exist in systems of endorsement in which status is due to prestige or reputation. For example\, in academia\, universities are more likely to hire faculty candidates from equally or more prestigious universities. \n\nI will present a principled model and algorithm called SpringRank to infer such latent hierarchies directly from data. By mapping a network of directed interactions to a physical system\, this ranking process becomes as fast as your favorite sparse linear solver. Unlike other methods such as minimum violation ranking\, SpringRank assigns real-valued scores to nodes rather than simply ordinal ranks\, and it formalizes the assumption that interactions are more likely to occur between individuals with similar ranks. It provides a natural framework for a statistical significance test for distinguishing when the inferred hierarchy is due to the network topology or is instead due to random chance\, and it can be used to perform inference tasks such as predicting the existence or direction of edges. I'll illustrate these findings by analyzing real and synthetic data and show that our method outperforms others\, in both speed and accuracy\, in recovering the underlying ranks and predicting edge directions. This work is a collaboration with Caterina De Bacco and Cris Moore.\n\nFree and Open to the Public\nLight Refreshments\nPlease contact cscs@umich.edu if accommodations are necessary.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Early State Formation in Japan: View from Eastern Periphery
DESCRIPTION:This paper reports results of my fieldwork of several mound tombs in the old province of Hitachi in eastern Japan\, 50 miles northeast of Tokyo. The mound tombs are dated to the fifth\, sixth and early seventh centuries\, A.D. or the Middle and Late Kofun Period. The Kofun Period is characterized by the sharing of standardized keyhole-shaped form for elite mound tombs\, which is distinguished from the preceding Yayoi Period when mortuary customs were regionally distinctive. Japanese archaeologists\, especially those trained at the Kyoto University\, have previously argued that the sharing of the mound form was a reflection of the strong\, centralized state. In other words\, the highest-ranking chief in the central polity distributed mound-construction plan to local elites as a symbol of control over local regions. However\, the results of my fieldwork since 1999 indicate that several aspects of elite mortuary customs in eastern Japan are regionally distinctive. This suggests to me that local elites in eastern Japan\, while influenced by the central polity to some extent\, had considerable degree of freedom to maintain and practice their own customs.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Technologies and Instruments of Peace
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion featuring the following presenters and topics:\nPamela Ballinger (University of Michigan): \"Humanitarian Futures\"\nSusan Waltz (University of Michigan): \"Finding Political Will to Implement the 2013 Arms Trade\nTreaty\"\nChaired by Fatma Müge Göçek (University of Michigan)\n\nThis symposium explores possible future directions in the realms of war and peace\, focusing on the inextricably entangled nature of these two spheres. Technologies of war and violence\, such as drones and nuclear weapons/energy\, for instance\, also possess many peacetime functions. Humanitarianism similarly blurs the lines between war and peace\, given that humanitarian initiatives may not only respond to situations of war but may aim to forestall it–sometimes through preemptive military actions. With the rise of unconventional and robotic warfare\, too\, the \"front\" becomes a hybrid of fighting and governance\, raising pointed questions as to the future boundaries between civilian and soldier. The three panels comprising this symposium explore these and many other timely issues.\n\nPamela Ballinger is Fred Cuny Professor of the History of Human Rights and associate professor of history at the University of Michigan. She is the author of History in Exile: Memory and Identity at the Borders of the Balkans (Princeton University Press\, 2003). She has published on topics such as refugees\, displacement\, ethnic cleansing\, and human rights in journals that include Comparative Studies in Society and History\, Contemporary European History\, Current Anthropology\, History and Memory\, Journal of Modern Italian Studies\, New Global Studies\, and Past and Present.\n\nFatma Müge Göçek is a professor of sociology and women's studies at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on the comparative analysis of history\, politics and gender in the first and third worlds. She critically analyzes the impact of processes such as development\, nationalism\, religious movements and collective violence on minorities.\n\nSusan Waltz is professor of public policy at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. Both a scholar and a practitioner in the field of international human rights\, she began her career as an area specialist\, focusing on the North African countries of Tunisia\, Morocco\, and Algeria. Over the past twenty years she has conducted research on North African regional politics and the local human rights movement. More recently\, her research has focused on the historical origins of international human rights instruments and the political processes that produced them. She is co-author of the website Human Rights Advocacy and the History of International Human Rights Standards (http://humanrightshistory.umich.edu).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Defense: A framework to Augment Turbulence Models Using Full-field Inversion and Machine Learning
DESCRIPTION:Aerospace Engineering PhD Candidate: Anand Pratap Singh\, Dissertation Chair: Associate Professor Karthik Duraisamy\n\nAbstract\nAccurate prediction of turbulent flows remains a barrier to the widespread use of computational fluid dynamics for analysis and design. This thesis presents a generalized framework of physics-based data-augmented modeling\, which we refer to as field-inversion and machine learning (FIML). FIML is utilized to develop augmentations to Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes based models using high fidelity simulation data and experimental measurements. This framework involves the solution of multiple inverse problems to infer spatial discrepancies in a baseline turbulence model.  Several such discrepancy fields are used as inputs to a machine learning procedure\, to reconstruct corrective functional forms in terms of local flow quantities. The machine-learned discrepancy is embedded in existing turbulence models and used in a predictive setting.\n\nThe FIML framework is applied to augment the Spalart-Allmaras (SA) and the Wilcox's k-omega model for flows involving curvature\, adverse pressure gradients\, and massive separation. The value of the framework is demonstrated in a number of applications\, most notably by augmenting the SA model with the goal of improving separated flow predictions over airfoils using limited experimental data. The portability of the approach is demonstrated by embedding the data-augmented module developed using an in-house compressible finite-volume solver in a commercial incompressible finite-element solver. Overall\, this work highlights the promise of using data to comprehensively augment physics-based models to obtain improved predictive models of complex phenomena. \n\nDissertation Committee:\nAssociate Professor Karthik Duraisamy\, Chair \nProfessor Krishnakumar R.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Workshop and Exhibit. Crafting Communities in Oaxaca: Drawing Inspiration from Ancient Artifacts
DESCRIPTION:INTERACTIVE DEMONSTRATION\nNovember 9\, 2017\n2:30 - 6:00 PM\n2435 North Quad\nFor generations\, the Fabian family from Oaxaca\, Mexico has created alebrijes\, whimsical wooden figurines. The pieces are inspired by nature and archaeology. The Fabian family uses traditional carving techniques combined with pre-hispanic design motifs from the ancient settlement outside their village of San Martin Tilcajete. Please join us for a live and interactive demonstration of woodcarving and painting techniques. The audience is invited to paint their own pieces with help from the artisans\, ask questions\, and see the artists in action.\n\nWOODCARVING EXHIBIT \nNovember 10\, 2017\, 3:00 – 8:00 PM\nMichigan League\, Kalamazoo Room \nFocusing on the intersection between art and archaeology\, this exhibit features traditional Oaxacan woodcarvings called alebrijes. These pieces are the product of a collaboration between the community of San Martin Tilcajete and University of Michigan researchers. The Fabian family assisted in the excavation and analysis of archaeological artifacts from the site in their village. They have drawn inspiration from this experience to create a series of alebrijes celebrating the pre-hispanic design motifs found on artifacts recovered from ancient Zapotec houses. Through their pieces\, they combine traditional woodcarving techniques with ancient motifs in an innovative celebration of contemporary\, historical\, and ancient art from Oaxaca\, Mexico.

DESCRIPTION:Microbes are ubiquitous on Earth\, yet the drivers that regulate microbial activity and shape microbial diversity are not clear\, particularly in dry ecosystems. I present work from the hyperarid Namib Desert\, Namibia\, a model dune system that has revealed overlooked controls on decomposition as well as unique dispersal vectors for microbes\, like coastal fog. This provides a insight into how microbes survive under extreme water stress\, and how we understand the ecology of the 40% of land surface occupied by drylands.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/ixTDJy6G26s

SUMMARY:Other:Mark Doty & Fernanda Eberstadt
DESCRIPTION:Since the publication of his first volume of verse\, Turtle\, Swan\, in 1987\, MARK DOTY has been recognized as one of the most accomplished poets in America. Hailed for his elegant\, intelligent verse\, Doty has often been compared to James Merrill\, Walt Whitman and C.P. Cavafy. His syntactically complex and aesthetically profound free verse poems\, odes to urban gay life\, and quietly brutal elegies to his lover\, Wally Roberts\, have been hailed as some of the most original and arresting poetry written today. The recipient of numerous grants and fellowships\, Doty has also won a number of prestigious literary awards\, including the Whiting Writer’s Award\, the T. S. Eliot Prize\, the National Poetry Series\, the Los Angeles Times Book Award\, the National Book Critics’ Circle Award\, the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for first nonfiction\, and the National Book Award for Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems (2008). A long-time resident of Provincetown\, Massachusetts\, Doty teaches at Rutgers University in New Jersey.\n\nDescribed by John Updike as an “ambitious\, resourceful novelist\,” FERNANDA EBERSTADT is the author of Low Tide\, Isaac and His devils\, When the Sons of Heaven Meet the Daughters of the Earth\, The Furies\, and Rat. The New York Times Book Review praised Rat as “shrewd and sensuous\,” hailing “Eberstadt's preoccupation with \"the footloose life of the wilfully dispossessed\" and writes that \"in her novels\, idealists and fast trackers wrestle with thorny problems of love and social identity.\" In 1998\, Eberstadt went to live on a vineyard in the French Pyrenees\, outside the city of Perpignan. She became friends with a family of French gypsy musicians. Her first work of non-fiction\, Little Money Street—In Search of Gypsies and Their Music in the South of France\, which portrays that friendship\, was released by Knopf in March 2006. Eberstadt also writes extensively for The New York Times Magazine\, The New Yorker\, Vogue\, and Vanity Fair.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2017 Wilbert Steffy Distinguished Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Tony Cox\nPresident\, Cox Associates\nClinical Professor\, University of Colorado\n\nTitle: Causal Analytics for Risk Management: Making Advanced Analytics More Useful\n	\nOperations research provides powerful methods for choosing feasible values of decision variables to optimize an objective function.  In practice\, however\, how decisions affect the objective function\, and even what decisions are feasible\, are often initially unknown. Managing risks effectively usually requires using available data\, however limited\, to answer the following questions\, and then improve the answers in light of experience:\n\n1. DESCRIPTIVE ANALYTICS: What's happening? What has changed recently? What should we be worrying about?\n2. PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS: What will (probably) happen if we do nothing new?\n3.  CAUSAL ANALYTICS:  What will (probably) happen if we take different actions or implement different policies? How soon are the consequences likely to occur\, and how sure can we be?\n4. PRESCRIPTIVE ANALYTICS: What should we do next? How should we allocate available resources to explore\, evaluate\, and implement different actions or policies in different locations?\n5. EVALUATION ANALYTICS: How well are our risk management policies and decisions working? Are they producing (only) their intended effects? For what conditions or sub-populations do they work or fail?\n6. LEARNING ANALYTICS: How might we do better\, taking into account value of information and opportunities to learn from small trials before scaling up?\n7.  COLLABORATIVE ANALYTICS:  How can we manage uncertain risks more effectively together?\n \nThis talk discusses recent advances in these areas and suggests how to integrate and apply them to important policy questions such as whether\, when\, and how to revise risk management regulations or policies. Current technical methods of risk analytics\, including change point analysis and prescriptive maintenance\, quasi-experimental design and analysis\, causal graph modeling\, Bayesian Networks and influence diagrams\, Granger causality and transfer entropy methods for time series\, causal analysis and modeling\, and deep learning and low-regret learning provide a valuable toolkit for using data to assess and improve the performance of risk management decisions and policies by actively discovering what works best and how to improve over time. \n\nTony Cox is President of Cox Associates\, a Denver-based applied research company specializing in health\, safety\, and environmental risk analysis\; epidemiology\; policy analytics\; data science\; and operations research. Since 1986\, Cox Associates' analysts and scientists have applied epidemiological\, risk analysis\, and operations research models to measurably improve health and environment risk assessment and decision-making for public and private sector clients. In 2006\, Cox Associates was inducted into the Edelman Academy of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS)\, recognizing outstanding real-world achievements in the practice of operations research and the management sciences. In 2012\, Dr. Cox was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering (NAE)\, \"For applications of operations research and risk analysis to significant national problems.\" He has served as a member of the National Academies' Board on Mathematical Sciences and their Applications (BMSA) (2012-2016). In 2013\, he co-founded NextHealth Technologies\, a Denver-based company offering advanced data analytics solutions to healthcare plans to reduce health\, financial\, and member attrition risks.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DQSN: Technosexual Dramas and Sexual Realities
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this theoretical chapter\, I offer a new framework for describing how sexualities come into existence through the everyday labor of biomedical practice across scales in the United States healthcare system. I ask: How do sexualities come into existence as actionable entities or constructs in contemporary U.S. healthcare? How does this complex collection of processes shape the constitution of sexual realities? An interdisciplinary constellation of scholars are often at loggerheads over how to answer these questions. One group in the history\, anthropology\, and sociology of sexuality argues that sexualities emerge and stabilize through relational processes of conceptual uptake and exchange between individuals\, communities\, and institutions. Another cohort\, mostly in queer theory\, argues that sexuality constitutes a kind of radical instability\, with sexual acts and queerness standing in for pure negativity\, wild unknowability\, or utopian transcendence of the knowable. In another vein\, scholars who use constructivist approaches to study science\, technology\, and medicine have developed powerful tools to describe how technoscientific practices mobilize physical materials\, digital tools\, and epistemic frames to produce and sustain realities in conditions where the constitutive elements of those realities actively resist coherence. In an explicit move to break through epistemological blockages in queer studies\, social scientists have recently started to co-deploy methods from sexuality studies and Science and Technology Studies (STS) to describe how biomedical methods produce sexualities as tangible entities with varying degrees of spatial\, temporal\, and disciplinary durability (Race 2016\; Waidzunas and Epstein 2016). My dissertation\, “Making Sex Real\,” contributes to this project by showing how assemblages of human and nonhuman actors translate physical materials\, technologies\, and data into temporarily stable entities that become perceptible and provisionally actionable as sexualities only in specific sociotechnical and epistemic arrangements. Drawing on data from extensive health policy research and over a year of fieldwork with practitioners in HIV/AIDS\, LGBTQ health\, and health information technology (IT) in the United States and metropolitan Atlanta\, I show that\, in health contexts\, sexualities are enacted\, materialized\, or\, “built up and sustained” into a kind of temporary existence in biomedical milieus through processes of technosexual dramatization (Mol 2001: vii-vii\; Barad 1998\, 2007\; Murphy 2006\; Law 2004: 13). Technosexual dramas produce what I call situated sexual realities\, following historian of sexuality Robert Padgug and feminist STS scholar Donna Haraway (1979: 10\; 1991[1988]: 188-96).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Chris Rycroft: The reference map technique for simulating complex materials and multi-body interactions
DESCRIPTION:Conventional computational methods often create a dilemma for fluid-structure interaction problems. Typically\, solids are simulated using a Lagrangian approach with grid that moves with the material\, whereas fluids are simulated using an Eulerian approach with a fixed spatial grid\, requiring some type of interfacial coupling between the two different perspectives. Here\, a fully Eulerian method for simulating structures immersed in a fluid will be presented. By introducing a reference map variable to model finite-deformation constitutive relations in the structures on the same grid as the fluid\, the interfacial coupling problem is highly simplified. The method is particularly well suited for simulating soft\, highly-deformable materials and many-body contact problems\, and several examples from engineering and biology will be presented. This is joint work with Ken Kamrin (MIT).\n\nBio: Chris Rycroft is an Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. From 2010–2013\, he was a Morrey Assistant Professor in the UC Berkeley Mathematics Department\, and he was involved in the Bay Area Physical Sciences-Oncology where he collaborated with several experimental groups at Berkeley and UC San Francisco\, on using computational modeling to understand the role of mechanical forces between cells and their environment.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Fridays at Noon Lecture Series. Unverifiable: A History of Rumor in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:In moments of national peril\, the most pernicious rumors relating to the Thai royal family have gained purchase. I explore several of these moments\, the content and context of the rumors circulating\, and the changing technologies of communication that brought the unverified data to the Thai public. All rumors about royalty and their technologies of distribution have been subject to lese majesté laws: from encoded telegrams and confidential documents in the late 19th century to digital photos\, Facebook posts\, and YouTube videos in the 21st. Ironically\, today this censorship has hampered the government’s ability to gate-keep information and to convincingly establish their authority to distinguish rumor from fact. In other words\, not even the Thai military junta can publicly verify facts or falsehoods about the royal family because it would violate les majesté laws\, which equally criminalize truth and falsehood. The resulting ambiguity about truth has created a crisis of verification that adds another layer of complexity to the fake news\, propaganda\, political rumors\, and Photoshop technology that has created epistemic vertigo around the globe today.

TheTech industry always interested me\, so I decided to move up to Silicon Valley and accept a job at Yelp in San Francisco. Sales at Yelp was grand (like any first job out of college!)\, but I loved it because it taught me that hard work drove results and I was ultimately responsible for my own success. I was able to leverage my experience at Yelp to land another salesrole at Google\, where I managed top end-client and agency relationships\, ranging from e-commerce retailers to brand-focused agencies. I learned aton from my experience at Google\, including gaining exposure to many different types of clients and industries\, learning how to sell to senior executives and close bigger deals\, and figuring out which cafe had the bestfood.\"\n\n\nJarrett says\, \"I’m a Director of Banking here at Quicken so I run a team of 14 bankers\, specifically for clients looking to buy a house (instead of refinance their current) and we work with clients primarily through our online chat platform.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: The Internet and You
DESCRIPTION:Can the Internet be controlled? 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 836 Seminar Series: Mark S. Redfern\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Mark S. Redfern\, PhD\, \nUniversity of Pittsburgh \n\"Biomechanics and the Prevention of Slips and Falls\"\n \nBio:  Mark S. Redfern is the Kepler Whiteford Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh\, with secondary appointments in the School of Medicine (Otolaryngology) and the School of Health and Rehabilitation Science (Physical Therapy).  He received a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Michigan in 1988 in the area of biomechanics while working at the Center for Ergonomics. Dr. Redfern's current research focuses mainly on human postural control modeling\, the influence of aging on balance\, and slip/fall prevention.  He has over 150 peer review publications and 20 book chapters.  \n\nAbstract: Slips and falls continue to be a significant problem\, resulting in injury and death across the age-span.  Falls result in 20 % of all occupation injuries and 13 % of fatalities\, with slips being the cause in about half.  Reducing slips and falls requires taking an ergonomics approach.  The presentation will review the slip and fall prevention research undertaken in the Human Movement and Balance Laboratory.   Three areas will be covered: Human Factors\, Environmental Evaluation and Design\, and Computer Modeling.  Human factors will include the biomechanics of slips and falls for young and older populations.  The environmental aspects will focus on slip resistance measurements and characterization of shoe-floor-contaminant interface.  Recent computational modeling efforts will also be discussed\, including shoe-floor tribological modeling.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE285 Undergraduate Seminar: Cyber Physical Systems – Threats and Vulnerabilities
DESCRIPTION:Lydia Lavigne\, Advanced Systems Manager\, Ball Aerospace\n\nThe cyber-based threat environment poses challenges to our ability to develop methods to protect and defend our systems. Retaining cyberspace superiority by protecting information flows is important to maintaining an overall strategic advantage. The cyber domain itself is unlike any other\, with a much larger potential attack surface\, an operations cycle much faster than the human decision cycle\, low barriers to entry for potential adversaries\, and ability to rapidly change in configuration and capability. \n\nThe threat to systems as they operate in\, or interface with cyberspace and the associated cyber threat is a growing concern of many people across the country. To date\, the majority of effort has been on addressing the cyber threat to our critical infrastructure and information systems. Given recent exploitation events\, immediate attention on the cyber threat to our space systems is of critical importance. However\, the unique characteristic of the cyber threat present serious challenges in understanding and resolving their potential impacts. In space vehicles\, the avionics (for example\, operational software\, electronic boxes\, cables\, comm system\, etc.) are all components of a cyber-physical system (CPS).\n\nAbout the speaker...\nLydia Lavigne’s broad background and experience spans across a variety of industries and projects ranging from large-scale U.S. military system development projects to intelligence analysis and space systems acquisition. Her work in project and program management\, technical development and process modeling also includes training and consulting. Her work often integrates complex technical tasks involving multiple technical disciplines including product design\, development\, manufacturing\, and technical analysis. \n\nLydia currently works for Ball Aerospace in its National Defense business unit as an Advanced Systems Manager\, where she develops strategies for pursuing business opportunities in technologies for national defense\, including space systems technologies\, cyber physical systems\, space protection\, data analysis\, and other adjacent technologies. Capture activities include analyzing customer roadmaps\, trade study developments\, writing white papers\, proposals\, and coordinating with both internal and external stakeholders.\n\nPrior to her current role\, Lydia worked in several other positions including Ball’s Systems Engineering Solutions group\, where she was a program manager responsible for managing cost\, schedule\, and technical performance on several projects and programs. Other positions include work as a management consultant and in space systems acquisition for the US Government. \n\nLydia has a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, Michigan and an MBA from Xavier University in Cincinnati\, Ohio. She is also a certified Project Management Professional (PMP). Lydia currently resides in Boulder\, Colorado.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Humanism
DESCRIPTION:This talk will argue for a form of humanism on which we have reason to care about human beings that we do not have to care about other animals\, and human beings have rights against us other animals lack. Humanism respects the equal worth of those born with severe congenital cognitive disabilities. We can defend this view from the charge of illicit “speciesism” and explain why being human is an ethically relevant fact.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Workshop and Exhibit. Crafting Communities in Oaxaca: Drawing Inspiration from Ancient Artifacts
DESCRIPTION:INTERACTIVE DEMONSTRATION\nNovember 9\, 2017\n2:30 - 6:00 PM\n2435 North Quad\nFor generations\, the Fabian family from Oaxaca\, Mexico has created alebrijes\, whimsical wooden figurines. The pieces are inspired by nature and archaeology. The Fabian family uses traditional carving techniques combined with pre-hispanic design motifs from the ancient settlement outside their village of San Martin Tilcajete. Please join us for a live and interactive demonstration of woodcarving and painting techniques. The audience is invited to paint their own pieces with help from the artisans\, ask questions\, and see the artists in action.\n\nWOODCARVING EXHIBIT \nNovember 10\, 2017\, 3:00 – 8:00 PM\nMichigan League\, Kalamazoo Room \nFocusing on the intersection between art and archaeology\, this exhibit features traditional Oaxacan woodcarvings called alebrijes. These pieces are the product of a collaboration between the community of San Martin Tilcajete and University of Michigan researchers. The Fabian family assisted in the excavation and analysis of archaeological artifacts from the site in their village. They have drawn inspiration from this experience to create a series of alebrijes celebrating the pre-hispanic design motifs found on artifacts recovered from ancient Zapotec houses. Through their pieces\, they combine traditional woodcarving techniques with ancient motifs in an innovative celebration of contemporary\, historical\, and ancient art from Oaxaca\, Mexico.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SynSem Discussion Group: Some notes regarding the form and function of Chomsky's recent ideas on the operation Merge
DESCRIPTION:The primary goal of the talk is to discuss Chomsky's recent thinking on Merge. Merge is argued to apply 'freely.' Does this mean that any two syntactic objects can be merged\, regardless if they are contained in the same larger object? Do we allow parallel\, sidewards\, and 'double peak'-creating Merge? If not\, why not? We explore Chomsky's answer to the general question: \"What are the basic conditions that fundamental operations should satisfy and what are the consequences of those conditions with respect to the form and function of Merge?\"

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: Information Design Under Falsification
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWe derive an optimal test when cheating is possible in the form of type falsification. Optimal design exploits the following trade-off: while cheating may lead to better grades\, it devalues their meaning. We show that optimal tests can be derived among cheating-proof ones. Our optimal test has a single ‘failing’ grade\, and a continuum of ‘passing’ grades. It makes the agent indifferent across all moderate levels of cheating. Good types never fail\, but bad types may pass.  An optimal test delivers at least half of the full information value. A three-grade optimal test also performs well.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Novel Applications of Short-lived Radionuclides (Po-210/Pb-210 and Be-7) as Tracer and Chronometer in the Study of Ice/Snow Dynamics in the Western Arctic
DESCRIPTION:Long-lived progeny of radon-222 (222Rn\, T1/2=3.82 d)\, 210Pb (T1/2=22.3 y) and 210Po (T1/2=138.4 d)\, have been widely utilized as environmental tracer and chronometer covering time scales of <1 to ~150 y. A fraction of 222Rn produced in the upper 1-2 m of earth’s surface escapes to the atmosphere and during its journey\, it undergoes radioactive decay to 210Pb (222Rn →…→ 210Pb → 210Bi → 210Po → 206Pb). This atmospheric 210Pb is subsequently removed from the atmosphere by precipitation in a time scale of < 10-15 d. The atmospherically-delivered 210Pb on surface water is removed by suspended particulate matter and eventually becomes part of the sedimentary record. Lead-210 is the most-widely chronometer after 14C. In this study\, we present newly-developed application to date snow\, melt-ponds\, and ice-rafted sediments (IRS) using 210Po-210Pb disequilibrium in samples collected during Western Arctic GEOTRACES cruise (2015). From the measured concentrations of 210Pb and 210Po in a suite of aerosol samples collected from the Arctic region\, we assessed the residence time of 210Po-210Pb-laden aerosols. The ‘ages’ of snow and melt ponds were determined to be 2-34 and 47-61 days\, respectively. The ‘age’ of IRS ranged between 56 and 136 days\, corresponding to Transpolar Drift Stream velocity of 0.08 – 0.17 m s-1. This range of values is comparable to the satellite-based data of 0.05 to 0.10 m s-1. From the measured disequilibrium between 210Po and 210Pb in a suite of ice cores\, the model-derived accumulation and ablation rates of ice cores were obtained. This study has direct relevance to the energy exchange between the surface ocean and the atmosphere in the Arctic Ocean.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium: Shifty Asymmetries: Universals and Variation in Shifty Indexicality
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nIndexical shift is a phenomenon whereby indexicals embedded in speech and attitude reports depend for their reference on the speech/attitude report\, rather than on the overall utterance. For example\, in a language with indexical shift\, \"I\" may refer to Bob in a sentence like \"Who did Bob think I saw?\". The last 15 years have seen an explosive growth in research on indexical shift cross-linguistically. In this talk\, I discuss three major generalizations that emerge from this work\, and present a theory that attempts to explain them. The account that I develop concerns the syntax of indexical shift along with its semantics\, and has consequences for the linguistic encoding of attitudes de se. Throughout the talk I will exemplify indexical shift primarily\, though by no means exclusively\, with data from original fieldwork on Nez Perce.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Professor Eric D. Siggia - The Rockefeller University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Stem cells are commonly grown on surfaces and when induced to differentiate show disorganized arrangements of fates. The simple process of spatial confinement and BMP4 or Wnt induction leads to a reproducible arrangement of extraembryonic and germ layer fates as a function of colony radius that mimics the proximal distal axis in the mammalian embryo. Fate is defined by distance from the colony boundary which can be hundreds of microns away. The stem cell colonies also form a radially localized primitive streak and exhibit gastrulation like movements. We have characterized the molecular events that control our radial patterns\, which include receptor occlusion in apical-basal polarized colonies\, and the production and diffusion of secreted inhibitors and secondary morphogens. Three dimensional culture\, creates closed epithelia shell that resemble the postimplantation epiblast. They will spontaneously symmetry break into a primitive streak and a region resembling the anterior epiblast. This quantitative assay shows in a context very different from the embryo how the canonical signaling pathways\, generate spatial patterns over large scales\, but it also reveals cell biological aspects of signaling that are difficult to study in mammalian embryos.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

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

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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: The Internet and You
DESCRIPTION:Can the Internet be controlled? 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.
