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.

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

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

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696914@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171108T135108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171110T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171110T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:WORLD LEADERS pop-up exhibition by Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen DESCRIPTION:An installation of new work by U-M alumna Chanel Habsburg-Lothringen whose work addresses the American notion of aspiration\, mortality\, and persona.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593379@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170908T145419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171110T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171110T170000 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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?\" UID:46429-10489738@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46429 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Language LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 403 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171125T123008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171110T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171110T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:UCC @ the OAMI ASP Meeting DESCRIPTION:If you are in Handshake\, Click \"Join event\" to RSVP* Not in Handshake?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696915@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171020T120034 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T170000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Newbie Tournament at MSU DESCRIPTION:Tournament at MSU for brand new/newbie fencers.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593380@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171108T121524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T084500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T173000 SUMMARY:Performance:Sally Fleming Master Class Series: Joshua Habermann\, conductor DESCRIPTION:Joshua Habermann\, conductor of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale leads three rehearsals with the Michigan Bicentennial High School Chorus. \n\nRehearsal times:\n8:45 AM-9:30 AM\n11:30 AM-12:00 PM\n3:30 PM-5:30 PM UID:46640-10569776@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46640 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171017T101137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171111T150000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Detroit Engagement Training Workshop Series DESCRIPTION:In partnership with The Ginsberg Center\, U-M Libraries\, Office of Metropolitan Impact and Community Engaged Academic Learning\, and Masters of Arts in Community Based Education\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center is offering three engagement training workshops.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696916@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170815T140715 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171112T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171112T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593381@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171109T095120 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171112T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171112T100000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Vote now in the As I See It Drawing Competition!

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

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

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

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 signaled status and safely contained the power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. UMMA docents will explore the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi and demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures\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.

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

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

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696917@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171108T135108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171113T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171113T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:WORLD LEADERS pop-up exhibition by Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen DESCRIPTION:An installation of new work by U-M alumna Chanel Habsburg-Lothringen whose work addresses the American notion of aspiration\, mortality\, and persona.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593382@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170908T145419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171113T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171113T170000 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.

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

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

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

Using high-affinity antibody-based probes\, multimerized epitope tags\, and single molecule microscopy\, we are able to visualize and quantify the emergence of nascent protein chains from single premarked RNA1. Here\, I'll describe this technology as well as a two color extension useful for comparing translation rates between two different parts of a single open reading frame (ORF) or two different ORFs. Using information from the correlations of fluorescence fluctuations\, we can accurately quantify single mRNA translation elongation rates in both tagged and untagged portions of ORFs. By transiently loading probes and reporter DNA into cells in a combinatorial fashion\, multiplexed imaging of gene expression is possible. Preliminary application of this technology to the study of viral frameshifting will be discussed. \n\nTimothy J. Stasevich is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at Colorado State University (CSU). His lab uses a combination of advanced fluorescence microscopy\, genetic engineering\, and computational modeling to study the dynamics of gene regulation in living mammalian cells. Most recently\, his lab has pioneered the imaging of real-time single mRNA translation dynamics in living cells [1]. Dr. Stasevich received his B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from the University of Michigan\, Dearborn\, and his Ph. D. in Physics from the University of Maryland\, College Park. He transitioned into experimental biophysics as a post-doctoral research fellow in the laboratory of Dr. James G. McNally at the National Cancer Institute. During this time\, he developed technology based on fluorescence microscopy to help establish gold-standard measurements of live-cell protein dynamics. Dr. Stasevich next moved to Osaka University\, where he worked with Dr. Hiroshi Kimura as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Foreign Postdoctoral Research Fellow. While there\, he helped create technology to image endogenous proteins and their post-translation modifications in vivo. This allowed him to image the live-cell dynamics of epigenetic histone modifications during gene activation for the first time [2]. Before joining the faculty at CSU\, Dr. Stasevich took a one year hiatus at the HHMI Janelia Research Campus\, where he further improved the spatio-temporal resolution of endogenous protein imaging in live-cells.\n\n1.

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

What is less clear is how and why adverse early experiences exert such a profound influence on children’s mental health. Identifying developmental processes that are disrupted by adverse early environments is the key to developing better intervention strategies for children who have experienced adversity. Yet\, much existing research relies on a cumulative risk approach that is unlikely to reveal these mechanisms. This approach tallies the number of distinct adversities experienced to create a risk score. This risk score fails to distinguish between distinct types of environmental experience\, implicitly assuming that very different experiences influence development through the same underlying mechanisms. In this talk\, I will advance an alternative model. This novel approach conceptualizes adversity along distinct dimensions\, emphasizes the central role of learning mechanisms and the neural circuitry that supports these mechanisms\, and distinguishes between different forms of adversity that might influence learning and neural development in distinct ways. A key advantage of this approach is that learning mechanisms provide clear targets for interventions aimed at preventing psychopathology in children who have experienced adversity.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThere is a positive association between income and psychological well-being that diminishes in strength as income rises\, but the causal pathways behind this association remain imperfectly understood. We surveyed a large sample of Swedish lottery players and analyzed the data following pre-registered procedures. Comparisons of large-prize winners (typical prize range: $100K - $800K) to matched controls selected from the same lottery populations allow us to make credible causal inferences about the long-run effects of wealth. For two evaluative measures of well-being – Overall Life Satisfaction and Financial Life Satisfaction – we find clear evidence of positive effects that survive multiple-hypothesis corrections and persist well over a decade after winning the lottery. The estimated treatment effects on Happiness and Mental Health are significantly smaller and not statistically different from zero.

Boldly reimagining who sex shops were for and the kinds of spaces they could be\, these entrepreneurs opened sex-toy stores like Eve’s Garden\, Good Vibrations\, and Babeland not just as commercial enterprises\, but to provide educational and community resources as well. In \"Vibrator Nation\" Lynn Comella tells the fascinating history of how these stores raised sexual consciousness\, redefined the adult industry\, and changed women's lives. Comella describes a world where sex-positive retailers double as social activists\, where products are framed as tools of liberation\, and where consumers are willing to pay for the promise of better living—one conversation\, vibrator\, and orgasm at a time.\n\n* Book sales provided by Common Language Bookstore * UID:45894-10321774@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45894 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:History,Interdisciplinary,LGBT,Women's Studies LOCATION:Lane Hall - 2239 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170823T120339 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171113T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171113T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. Satisfied Callers: Police and Corporate Customer Service Technology in India DESCRIPTION:State organizations are infamous for their insatiable appetites for documentation\, but sometimes they refuse to produce documents. In India\, police officers often refuse to register complaints and initiate proceedings. A recent project by the police in the Indian state of Punjab has aimed to eliminate this practice. The state hired a private corporation to run a call center to take emergency calls to the police. Young\, middle-class\, educated women staff the phones and act as case coordinators\, dispatching police in locations across the state and monitoring the progress of cases through an elaborate database that logs communications from victims and police documents. Procedures embedded in corporation software translates the government procedure into the language of customer service.

Bagian DESCRIPTION:On Monday November 13\, Jim Bagian will present on Patient Safety: Challenges and Ways to Overcome Them:\n\nPatient safety has become a commonly recognized challenge among not only care providers but patients throughout the world over the last 19 years. Its rise to prominence was spurred by the Institute of Medicine’s (now called the National Academy of Medicine) landmark report entitled ‘To Err Is Human”. While initially\, there was a good deal of denial in the medical profession that the level and frequency of harm to patients was not as high as the report contended\, 44\,000 to 98\,000 annually\, there was general agreement that the number by any accounting was too high. More recently\, there have been reports that put the annual number of deaths as high as 250\,000 making it the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA. This increase in the reported number of patients harmed may be more a result of the methods used in the counting process rather than an increase in the risk of harm due to care but reinforces the reality that the risk is still one that can benefit from corrective action.\n \nObstacles to improvement range from a failure to acknowledge that the problem exists\, to who is responsible\, to an over-simplistic and superficial perspective that seldom goes past the determination of proximate cause and implementation of siloed symptom-based corrective actions. The failure to routinely take a systems-based approach to the identification of vulnerabilities that place the patient at risk and failure to formulate and implement corrective actions that address these foundational vulnerabilities are the principal challenges that the patients and healthcare faces today.\n \nThe presentation will identify some of the barriers to improvement and potential approaches to overcome these barriers.\n \nDr. James P. Bagian is the Director of the Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety and is a Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology in the Medical School and in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan. Previously\, he served as the first Director of the VA National Center for Patient Safety (NCPS) and the first Chief Patient Safety Officer for the Department of Veterans Affairs from 1999 to 2010 where he developed numerous patient safety related tools and programs that have been adopted nationally and internationally. Dr. Bagian served as a NASA astronaut and is a veteran of two Space Shuttle missions and was an investigator of both the Challenger and Columbia Space Shuttle mishaps. Presently\, he is applying systems engineering approaches to the analysis of medical adverse events and the development and implementation of systems-based corrective actions that will enhance patient safety primarily through preventive means. He received his B.S. in mechanical engineering from Drexel University and his M.D. from Jefferson Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. He is a Fellow of the Aerospace Medical Association\, a member of the National Academy of Engineering\, the Institute of Medicine\, and has received numerous awards for his work in the field of patient safety and aerospace medicine.

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

Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696918@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171108T135108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:WORLD LEADERS pop-up exhibition by Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen DESCRIPTION:An installation of new work by U-M alumna Chanel Habsburg-Lothringen whose work addresses the American notion of aspiration\, mortality\, and persona.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593383@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170908T145419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T170000 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.

Payne Collegiate Professor of Education and Arthur F. Thurnau Professor at the University of Michigan. She is the director of TeachingWorks and a former elementary teacher. Ball’s research focuses on teaching mathematics in ways that disrupt the reproduction of inequity and make it possible for children to enjoy and engage in mathematics in and out of school. Dr. Ball is an expert on teacher education\, and her current work centers on how to improve the quality of beginning teaching.\n\nDespite powerful notions\, skillful teaching does not come naturally. Teaching depends on specialized knowledge of content and the ability to understand others. It requires good judgment and the capacity to build relationships with and among people\, create respectful learning environments\, and understand the role of cultures\, contexts and communities. The presentation will focus on what is required to prepare beginning teachers and why everyone needs to stand up for the power of skillful teaching.\n\nThis is the third in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2017-18. A variety of topics will be covered. There is one lecture each month\, for a total of ten. The next lecture will be on December 12\, 2017.

These systems enable a wide variety of missions\, including crewed missions to near-Earth asteroids and Mars. Hall thrusters are a particularly attractive technology for these missions\, but development and demonstration of 100-kW class devices has been limited to date. Here\, a 100-kW class three-channel nested Hall thruster called the X3 was operated up to 102 kW total discharge power at NASA Glenn Research Center. The thruster demonstrated stable operation in all seven channel combinations at discharge voltages from 300 V to 500 V and three different current densities. All seven channel combinations demonstrated similar performance at a given discharge voltage and current density. The largest thrust recorded was 5.4 N\, and total efficiency and specific impulse ranged from 0.54 to 0.67 and 1800 seconds to 2650 seconds\, respectively. In addition to the performance measurements\, a suite of plasma diagnostics and a high-speed camera were used to study the operation of the thruster in greater detail. This work represents the highest total power (102 kW)\, thrust (5.4 N)\, and discharge current (247 A) demonstrated by a Hall thruster to date\, improvements of 6%\, 64%\, and 119% respectively over previous values. These results are discussed in the context of continued high-power Hall thruster development and future mission applications.\n\nDissertation Committee \nDean Alec D. Gallimore\, Co-Chair\nAsst.

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

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

Part of a wider\, unprecedented “legislative turn” in imperial rule that quadrupled the number of substatutes in the Qing code\, successive emperors enacted a flood of new legislation that expanded the concept of criminal behavior and increased the number of death penalty offenses that were subject to annual review. The crackdown on crime swamped the judicial bureaucracy and created ideological\, political\, and institutional quandaries for the eighteenth-century criminal justice. \n \nTom Buoye is an Associate Professor\, Department of History\, University of Tulsa\, Research Associate\, Center for Chinese Studies\, University of Michigan\, and Team Member\, “Legalizing Space in China\,” Institut d’Asie Orientale\, ENS Lyon\, France\, an international collaborative project to translate the sub-statutes of the Qing dynasty law code. His research interests span social\, legal\, and economic history of late imperial China. His current research focuses on the crisis in eighteenth century criminal justice and the “legislative turn” in Qing rule.

Despite this staggering wealth of objects\, to date there have been few attempts to understand their place in the history of the University and its scientific and disciplinary culture. In this talk\, Kerstin Barndt shares new findings about the genesis of the collections in Michigan’s nineteenth century geological surveys and global collection expeditions\, and about the role of the U-M museums in Michigan’s state formation.\n\nDrawing comparisons with paradigmatic university museums in the US and in Europe\, she concentrates on the life cycle of particular collections and highlights their important role in the disciplinary and historical self-understanding of the university. With some of these collections having subsequently lost this function and now considered missing\, Barndt’s work performs a crucial work of historical recovery that shows how academic museums and their displays delineated and contested the distinctions between nature and culture\, science and religion. Illustrated with copious examples from the riches of U-M’s collections\, this talk outlines the many\, complex\, and hybrid dimensions of university museums as institutions of research\, teaching and public display.\n\nBarndt's research is currently featured in the exhibition \"Object Lessons:\nRecollecting Museum Histories at Michigan\" on view at the U-M Museum of Natural History through December 30\, as well as the book\, with Carla Sinopoli\, \"Object Lessons and the Formation of Knowledge: The University of Michigan Museums\, Libraries\, and Collections 1817–2017 .\"\n\nKerstin Barndt is associate professor of Germanic languages and literatures and a 2013-14 Helmut F.

How do individuals affectively engage with moral stimuli\, and to what extent do they regulate emotion in moral contexts? To examine these questions\, I take a multilevel approach\, using both behavioral measures and functional neuroimaging across a wide developmental age range. In particular\, I focus on everyday moral decision-making\, as it is a context where individuals must balance their emotional responses with internalized moral norms. These factors make it an area where emotion regulation occurs both naturally and to varying degrees of success. In my talk\, I will discuss the metacognitive beliefs that people hold about emotion regulation in moral situations\, how (and if) individuals regulate emotion in social and moral contexts\, and how emotion regulation ability changes as a function of development.

Not if that bead is near a surface: rolling leads to translational motion\, as well as very strong flows around the bead\, even quite far away. These flows strongly couple the motion of nearby microrollers (rotating beads)\, which leads to a rich variety of collective effects. Using experiments in tandem with large-scale 3D simulations\, we have shown that driving a compact group of microrollers leads to a new kind of flow instability\, whose wavelength is controlled not by the driving torque or the fluid viscosity\, but a geometric parameter: the microroller's distance above the container floor. Furthermore\, under the right conditions\, stable\, compact clusters we term \"critters\" can emerge from the unstable interface. Our simulations and experiments suggest that these critters are a stable state of the system\, move much faster than individual rollers\, and quickly respond to a changing drive. We believe that critters are unique in that they are clusters which form only with hydrodynamic interactions\; no interparticle potentials are needed to create these structures. Furthermore\, as compact\, self-assembled structures which can easily be remotely guided\, critters may offer a promising tool for microscopic transport.\n UID:45392-10167095@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45392 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171114T181525 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Mechanisms regulating heme reduction and catalysis in NO synthase enzymes DESCRIPTION: \n \n \n \n \nDennis Stuehr (Cleveland Clinic) UID:41304-9097456@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/41304 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CHEM CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171009T150326 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171114T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Painting for Freedom and the Freedom to Paint: Ben Shahn’s Murals and the Jewish Refugee Crisis DESCRIPTION:This illustrated slide lecture considers two sets of completed murals and one proposed mural by Ben Shahn which all explore issues of freedom against the backdrop of the looming European-Jewish refugee crisis of the late 1930s.\n\nImage Copyright: Estate of Ben Shahn.

The Politics of Secrecy in the Age of Revolutions DESCRIPTION:Americans have recently been questioning the propriety of secrecy in government\, particularly in the legislative process. As partisan acrimony plumbs new depths\, public discussion has focused in no small part on the process by which laws are drafted\, debated\, and implemented. Though there are few formal rules on what work must be done in public view on Capitol Hill\, let alone in the White House\, there is a general expectation that a representative democracy requires a certain degree of publicity\, or transparency\, in its politics. This lecture will illuminate the origin of this belief\, rooting it in the late eighteenth century Age of Revolutions. As countries like the United States and France established representative republics\, the question of what should be done in public view\, versus what could legitimately be kept secret\, was central to shaping both understandings and implementations of representative democracy. Though still largely unresolved\, it is a question that remains at the heart of our conceptions of what a representative government is\, how it should work\, and what makes it legitimate. \n \nA growing concern with state secrecy permeated politics in the North Atlantic World during the latter half of the eighteenth century. Suspicion of government secrets became central to mounting critiques of monarchical and ministerial power in the French and British empires on the eve of the revolutions that would rock them. In the lecture\, the speaker will trace how the nascent republics in the United States and France contended with the mounting distrust of government secrecy as they set up new regimes that claimed to speak for the people. Debates over the proper place of secrecy in these new governments were immediately and intimately linked to evolving conceptions of what it meant for politics to be representative and\, especially\, what it meant for representative government to be democratic. More than simple procedural questions—over whether doors to legislative chambers would be open or closed\, for example—these debates about secrecy in politics were tantamount to contests over the meaning of representative government and how it would work during the American and French revolutionary periods. They laid the foundation for ongoing debates about how much transparency is required and tenable to sustain our representative democracy. \n \nKatlyn Carter is a Weiser Emerging Democracies Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2017-18 academic year. She completed her Ph.D. in history at Princeton University in 2017. Her current research is on state secrecy and representative politics in the eighteenth-century Atlantic World. As a postdoctoral fellow\, Katlyn will be working on a book manuscript about the relationship between state secrecy and the first representative democracies. She will also begin work on her next project\, which will examine the problem of truth and trust at the founding of the American and French republics. The project will aim to provide historical context to the challenge of dealing with fake news and determining fact from fiction in a political system governed by public opinion and with a free press. Prior to beginning her Ph.D. at Princeton\, Katlyn received a B.A. with high honors in history from the University of California\, Berkeley and worked as a media relations consultant in Washington\, DC.

His recent work includes ‘Makoko Floating School’\, an innovative\, prototype\, floating structure located on the lagoon heart of Nigeria’s largest city\, Lagos. This acclaimed project is part of an extensive research project – ‘African Water Cities’. NLÉ is currently developing a number of urban\, research and architectural projects in Africa\; one of which is Chicoco Radio Media Center\; the amphibious building in Delta city of Port Harcourt in Nigeria.\nBorn and raised in Nigeria\, Adeyemi studied architecture at the University of Lagos where he began his early practice\, before joining the world renowned Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) in 2002. At OMA\, working closely with founder Rem Koolhaas for nearly a decade\, he led the design\, development and execution of numerous projects in Europe\, Asia\, Africa and the Middle East. Among these projects were the award winning Samsung Museum of Art\, the Seoul National University Museum\, NM Rothschild Bank in London\, Shenzhen Stock Exchange tower in China\, Prada Transformer in South Korea\, Qatar National Library\, Qatar Foundation Headquarters and the 4th Mainland Bridge and master plan in Lagos. Adeyemi was responsible for critical stages in design and realization of these projects. This involved leading OMA’s design team\, coordinating a diverse global network of stakeholders and experts collaborators\, including Arup for Engineering and Davis Langdon (AECOM) on cost matters.\nThis memorial lecture was established to recognize John Dinkeloo's extraordinary contributions to architecture\, to honor his distinguished professional work\, and to pay tribute to this highly respected alumnus of the Architecture Program at the University of Michigan.

This event will demonstrate how a person’s activism can change over time\, how advocacy is tied to a person’s context and situational power\, and how partnering with diverse perspectives can strengthen advocacy and activism efforts. Health outcomes has been selected as the theme for this year’s symposium because of increasing uncertainty surrounding health care in America\, including coverage for women’s health care (mental health\, mammograms\, birth control\, maternity care\, etc.).\n\nThe goals for this one-day symposium are:\n-to engage students\, practitioners\, and researchers who are interested in advocacy and activism\n-to equip symposium participants with advocacy training that can be applied to their area(s) of interest\n-to develop a network among attendees for potential partnerships beyond the symposium\n-to highlight the value of diverse perspectives in advocacy work.\n\nThe symposium includes presentations by local and national advocacy experts who have taken varied approaches to advocacy in ways that best leverage their current context (power\, privilege\, and identity). Training sessions will feature capacity-building workshops on a range of topics from community organizing to bystander intervention to running for political office. Afternoon panel discussions will offer practical strategies that attendees can apply to their own work as advocates and activists. At the end of the day\, participants will be presented with a common challenge that they will address in small groups comprised of individuals from campus and community.\n\nThe day will close out with a surprise special keynote speaker to be announced soon!\n\nThis free event will take place on Wednesday\, November 15\, 2017 at the Michigan League. Space for the symposium is limited to 350 people\, however\, the free keynote lecture will be open to the public.\n\nRegistration available on our website now!\nwww.cew.umich.edu/SpectrumofAdvocacyandActivism UID:42755-9653779@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42755 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Community Service,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Free,Graduate Students,Health & Wellness,Inclusion,Leadership,Multicultural,Networking,Social Impact,Social Justice,Training,Undergraduate Students,Workshop LOCATION:Michigan League CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171115T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171115T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Creating a Campus: A Cartographic Celebration of U-M's Bicentennial DESCRIPTION:Learn about the campus’ history and architecture and explore the campus that might have been.

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.

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller.

In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm UID:42280-9593384@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library,Literature LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170908T145419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171115T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171115T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

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

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.

However\, our understanding of their joint effect even in its simplest description\, i.e. compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence\, is still scarce. One step towards a more comprehensive picture is a better understanding of the governing energy dynamics – looking at the interplay between kinetic and magnetic energy via different mediators such as advection\, magnetic tension or magnetic pressure. In this talk\, we present an extension of established shell-to-shell energy transfer analysis methods to the compressible MHD regime. We apply this analysis to numerical simulations in the subsonic and supersonic regime. These methods allow us to illustrate how varying degrees of compressibility influence the energy dynamics within and between kinetic and magnetic energy reservoirs. For example\, we show that compression acts against a magnetic energy cascade (scale-local magnetic to magnetic energy transfer). Moreover\, we present how magnetic tension becomes overall less important with increasing sonic Mach number.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast: https://mipse.my.webex.com/mipse.my/j.php?MTID=m3fe0c9edfcfbce7830deba12dfbbecd6 (password: MIPSE).

This talk explores the (bio) political meaning of the dehumanization of Armenians with its focus on the personal experiences of the Ottoman Armenian writer and activist\, Zabel Yesayan. If biopolitics can be defined as the management of lives by new power mechanisms that deprive people of human agency\, then how are we to understand the category of the biopoliticized life? Can a ‘biopoliticized life’ speak for itself\, for its reduction to a state of bodily existence\, for its own death? \n\nIn relation to the loss of one’s political and everyday life\, this talk concentrates on the paradox of the making of the modern biopoliticized subject\, which materializes in an alternative and radical form of life-writing. Emphasizing the ways one engages with life-writing\, which Dr. Aktokmakyan calls ‘auto-bio-thanato-graphy\,’ the talk examines the ‘non-sovereign’ quality in Yesayan’s \"Among the Ruins\" to reframe a theory of agency and body politics\, as well as the notion of the political in the Western Armenian literature. \n\nMaral Aktokmakyan earned her PhD in Western Languages and Literature from Boğaziçi University in 2016. She specializes in modern Western Armenian literature with her Master’s Thesis on female literary styles and discourses in the works of Serpouhi Dussap and Charlotte Brontë. She is currently working on the literary representations of biopolitical reductions with a particular emphasis on the Ottoman Armenians before and after the Genocide. Her dissertation\, entitled \"If This is Life: Rethinking the Modern Subject through the Aporia of Biopolitics\,\" examines the ways in which biopoliticized lives in the works of Zabel Yesayan and Hagop Mntzuri\, William Faulkner and Joseph Conrad are represented and problematized. \n\nPhoto caption: Ottoman Armenians celebrate the restoration of constitution in 1908\, Merzifon- in Les Armeniens 1917-1939 La Quete d’un Refuge (The Armenians\, 1917-1939 In Search of Refuge).

By developing a quantum mechanical model of the hybrid charge transfer exciton (HCTE) that is the intermediate between exciton generation and charge collection\, we have been successful in understanding the behavior of several organic/III-V semiconductor OI-HJs.[2] More recently\, we have extended this analysis to quantify the behavior of a new class of OI-HJs: those comprising a very thin film organic layered on a 2D transition metal dichalcogenide monolayer. For this latter purpose\, we have fabricated an organic/WS2 OI-HJ photodetector used to elaborate the charge and energy transport across these limited dimensional systems.[3] In this talk\, we will discuss the theoretical framework of HCTE dynamics\, along with measurement of its properties and its application to photodetection and other optoelectronic systems consisting of combinations of excitonic and conventional semiconductors.\n\n[1] C.

The educational system\, from kindergarten to university\, still suffers from the Pol Pot regime. \n\nThe high cost affiliated with sending a child to school in Cambodia makes many poor families struggle to educate their children. The students who make it through high school and enroll at university also face a number of challenges. After spending years learning by memorizing they are suddenly expected to learn by exploring and independently searching for new knowledge. This leads to significant problems with plagiarism and poor performance as well as stress and lowered self-esteem amongst students. \n\nTo support learning and wellbeing\, from kindergarten to university\, we need resources as well as knowledge. Private donors\, companies\, researchers\, and educators worldwide have an important role to play in Cambodia’s development. The challenge is to embrace a holistic perspective. The current challenges are looming so large that no isolated intervention would be able to solve them. Instead we need mindful engagement where every stakeholder gets the best possible information to make a useful contribution.\n\nIn the talk\, Evelina will share her experience of creating a positive setting for learning and growth. She will talk about how the practice of mindful engagement and the strengths of gratitude\, teamwork and creativity pave the way forward\; regardless if the task at hand is making sure that a 7-year-old has enough nutrition to focus in class\, preventing a 15-year-old from dropping out of school to work in a factory\, or supporting a 21-year-old university student who didn’t sleep for days anxious about an approaching deadline.\n\nAbout Fredriksson:\nEvelina is an educator\, consultant\, journalist\, and author. She works with People Improvement Organization Cambodia\, serves on the board of the knowledge lab Inter Business Initiative\, is the co-founder of the boutique consultancy Lumen Behavior\, and teaches at Zaman University Cambodia and Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia. \n\nEvelina has extensive experience with sustainability reporting and applied research. Her main area of expertise is children’s and women’s rights. She recently published a book based on interviews with girls and women in Phnom Penh and is currently conducting research about signature strengths amongst Cambodian students. \n\nOver the years\, Evelina has conducted research and has been writing about vulnerable children and women in\, for example\, Sweden\, Cambodia\, the Gambia\, India\, Senegal\, Kazakhstan\, and Zimbabwe. Evelina developed the grant making strategy for the family foundation Stenbeck Stiftelse that caters to children in need\, as well as leading the Reach for Change Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)\, which was one of the first GRI reports published globally for civil society organizations. Evelina was also responsible for the design\, implementation\, and PR for one of the most standard Save the Children assessment tools for young people in Sweden.\n\nHosts: \nJane Dutton\, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations\; Robert L.

Experimental data are often collected to understand the relationship between process parameters and product properties in this field. A special consideration in analyzing this type of data is that expert knowledge needs to be accommodated to make results meaningful. This talk will discuss two studies on statistical modeling of experimental data in biofabrication applications\, where different types of expert knowledge are incorporated in the form of constraints. In one study\, a constrained Gaussian process model is developed for biodegradation prediction in tissue-engineered scaffold fabrication\, and in the other study we propose a constrained varying-coefficient model for hydrogel property modeling in 3D printing of soft tissues. \n\nBiography: Li Zeng is an Assistant Professor in the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department of Texas A&M University. She received her B.S. in Precision Instruments and M.S. in Optical Engineering from Tsinghua University\, China\, and M.S. in Statistics and Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before joining Texas A&M\, she was a faculty in the Industrial\, Manufacturing\, and Systems Engineering Department of the University of Texas at Arlington. Her research interests are systems informatics and quality control in complex manufacturing and healthcare delivery systems. Her research is supported by national agencies such as NSF and NIH. She is a recipient of the Best Application Paper Award and Best Paper Award of IISE Transactions. She is a member of INFORMS and IISE\, and serves as associate editor of IISE Transactions.

Reyner Banham reacquainted the scholarly world with German geographer Anton Wagner's 1935 book Los Angeles: The Development\, Life\, and Form of the City of Two Million in Southern California. Based on extraordinary archival research\, field work\, and walks across the cityscape\, Wagner's encyclopedic study seeks to explain how a small town in a desert region located far from major transport routes and markets become a major metropolis. No less fascinating than Wagner's geography of Los Angeles is his own biography\, a tale of travel and international scholarly collaborations set against the background of German-American relations in the twentieth century.\n\nEdward Dimendberg is Professor of Humanities and European Languages and Studies at the University of California\, Irvine. He is author of Film Noir and the Spaces of Modernity (Harvard University Press\, 2004) and Diller Scofidio + Renfro: Architecture after Images (University of Chicago Press\, 2013) and a co-editor(with Anton Kaes and Martin Jay) of The Weimar Republic Sourcebook (University of California Press\, 1994). He is currently completing a monograph entitled The Los Angeles Project: Architectural and Urban Theories of the City of Exception and editing critical edition of Los Angeles: The Development\, Life\, and Form of the City of Two Million in Southern California by Anton Wagner for publication by the Getty Research Institute. Dimendberg serves on the editorial boards of the Weimar and Now German Cultural Criticism and FlashPoints book series\, on the Faculty Editorial Committee of the University of California Press\, and on the Book Publication Committee of the Modern Language Association. He works with individual scholars and offers publishing workshops as the principal of Dimendberg Consulting LLC.

Please check the event page right before the event for viewing information.\n\nJoin the conversation: #policytalks\n\n About the book:\nThe idea that a Senator—Republican or Democrat—would put the greater good of the country ahead of party seems nearly impossible to imagine in our current climate of gridlock and divisiveness. But this hasn’t always been the case. Arthur H. Vandenberg (1884–1951)\, Republican from Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, was the model of a consensus builder\, and the coalitions he spearheaded continue to form the foundation of American foreign and domestic policy today. Edward R. Murrow called him “the central pivot of the entire era\,” yet\, despite his significance\, Vandenberg has never received the full public attention he is due—until now. With this authoritative biography\, Hendrik Meijer reveals how Vandenberg built and nurtured the bipartisan consensus that created the American Century.\n\nFor more information\, visit http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/A/bo25248451.html \n\n About the author:\nHendrik Meijer worked as a reporter and editor before joining Meijer\, Inc.\, where he is executive chairman. He is the author of a biography of his grandfather\, Thrifty Years: The Life of Hendrik Meijer\, and the executive producer of the documentary America’s Senator: The Unexpected Odyssey of Arthur Vandenberg.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library\, and the Bentley Historical Library.

Fifth Ave.\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48104)\n\nDuring this 4-session class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills\, including meditation\, for managing stress and enriching your life. Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life\, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental\, accepting\, even curious\, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude\, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.\n\nKoru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill\, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks\, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!\n\nRegister today before the seats are filled! \n\nFor any questions\, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.

Between then and the 1980s\, most FinTech advancements were record-keeping and data systems found in the back offices of financial institutions\, out of sight of the public. As internet technology became more available\, however\, FinTech evolved rapidly. Financial firms digitized their processes\, and companies began introducing consumer-facing products such as online banking and PayPal.\n\nToday\, FinTech continues to disrupt and to evolve\, not only in how financial products and services are delivered\, but who delivers them. Regulators and market participants face challenges in\nunderstanding and balancing the benefits of FinTech against potential risks. Innovation helps catalyze growth and new opportunities while generating new risks. Regulatory structures in place could fail to accommodate changes in the financial marketplace. Regulators may overreact to new technologies\, stifling innovation and locking in old forms of doing business. At the same time\, regulatory complacency can have disastrous results\, permitting the buildup of systemic risk or widespread consumer harms.\n\nThis conference will explore methodologies that the private sector\, researchers\, and policymakers\ncan use harness the upside potential of financial innovation while reducing the downside risks.

The nucleus and the nuclear envelope\, which separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm\, have traditionally been viewed primarily from a biochemical perspective in providing a distinct intracellular compartment for DNA transcription and replication. Only recently have the biophysical and biomechanical properties of the nucleus emerged as crucial regulators of cellular function. My laboratory is combining cell and molecular biology approaches with microfabricated devices that mimic physiological environments\, live-cell microscopy\, and in vivo models to investigate how physical forces acting on the nucleus\, for example\, in contracting muscle cells or during migration of cells through tight interstitial spaces\, can challenge the integrity of the nucleus\, alter its structure\, and cause genomic and transcriptional changes. These processes play important roles in cellular mechanotransduction\, i.e.\, the ability of cells to convert mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals\, but can also contribute to various diseases when the nuclear structure is perturbed by mutations or altered protein expression. In particular\, mutations in the nuclear envelope proteins lamin A/C are responsible for a broad spectrum of diseases (laminopathies)\, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) and dilated cardiomyopathy. Despite extensive research efforts over the past two decades\, the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases remain incompletely understood. The fact that most mutations result in highly tissue-specific disease phenotypes primarily affecting skeletal and cardiac muscles\, in spite of the near ubiquitous expression of lamins A/C\, suggest that lamin mutations may render cells more sensitive to mechanical stress\, which then causes progressive cell failure in mechanically stressed tissues. We have previously demonstrated that lamin A/C mutations that cause muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy often result in impaired nuclear stability\, disrupted nucleo-cytoskeletal coupling\, and impaired activation of mechanosensitive genes. I will discuss new findings in this research area that highlight the importance of lamins A/C in mediating nuclear stability and mechanotransduction in mechanically stressed cells and tissues. At the same time\, increased nuclear deformability\, caused for example by reduced levels of lamins A/C\, can promote cell migration through tight spaces with cross-sections smaller than the nuclear diameter\, where the large size and rigidity of the nucleus can constitute a rate-limiting factor. I will present recent findings that demonstrate the importance of nuclear mechanics during cell migration in confined environments in vitro and in vivo\, as well as the functional consequences of cells having to squeeze their large nuclei through tight interstitial spaces and small pores in the extracellular matrix network. Our studies indicate that the intracellular stresses acting on the cell nucleus during confined migration can result in transient nuclear envelope rupture and DNA damage\, which is highly relevant to cancer cell migration but could also impact the function of immune cells. Our recent findings reveal specific differences in nuclear deformability and nuclear envelope composition in particularly aggressive breast cancer cells\, as well as new insights governing the biophysical mechanisms by which cells are able to squeeze their large nucleus through tight spaces.

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

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

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

Instead of orchestrating this resistance in spectacular mass protest\, they invoke clothwork as a silent yet potent resistance to these erasures. This talk elucidates how cloth arts allow Ainu women to move between “being Ainu\,” a racist label assigned by Japanese society\, to actively “becoming Ainu.” I describe how Ainu women counteract both the logics of erasure and the state’s neoliberal multiculturalist attempts to manage Ainu by embracing indigenous modernity on their own terms. \n \nann-elise lewallen\, Associate Professor\, University of California\, Santa Barbara\, is a cultural anthropologist of Japan\, India\, and an engaged scholar.

Feminism\, psychology\, and the gendering of neoliberal subjectivity\n\nNumerous feminist scholars have argued that women\, especially young women\, have been constructed as “ideal neoliberal subjects.” Informed by Foucauldian approaches that extend neoliberalism beyond a set of free market principles to a dynamic that creates and shapes new forms of subjectivity\, these scholars have demonstrated how young women in a “post-feminist” age are positioned to be consumers\, self-helpers\, and “empowered” agents par excellence. In this talk\, I selectively review the feminist critique of the gendering of neoliberal subjectivity\, and ask what role can – and does - feminist psychology play in countering and unsettling this agenda? Drawing on insights from psychosocial studies\, intersectionality theory\, and critical history\, I brainstorm some of the radical possibilities that feminist psychologies can offer under contemporary conditions.

The high specific impulse of these systems translates to substantial savings in cost when compared to spacecraft that employ traditional chemical rockets. \nThis cost savings comes with the caveat\, however\, that EP systems inherently have low thrust. In order to perform orbital transfers\, they therefore must operate continuously for years---accelerating the spacecraft to its destination very gradually. This requirement poses a unique challenge as to how to certify thruster lifetime for long-duration\, deep-space missions. While one potential and attractive solution to this problem is to perform qualification through analysis\, developing the numerical tools required for this technique has proved to be intractable to date. This is because there are key aspects of the fundamental operation of these systems that we do not sufficiently understand to model them. Most notably\, for the EP system baselined for most deep space missions\, the Hall thruster\, there are a number of open questions about what governs a critical aspect of its operation---the electron dynamics in its exhaust. This talk focuses on a theoretical description of how the onset of low-level plasma turbulence might be the dominant contributor to the electron dynamics in the Hall thruster and provides an overview of experimental work to date that has been done at the University of Michigan to address the underlying questions concerning this process. The implications of this work are discussed in the context of developing testing and modeling methods for future mission applications. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Benjamin Jorns is an assistant professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan and co-director of the Plasmadynamics and Electric Propulsion Laboratory (PEPL). Prior to joining PEPL\, Dr. Jorns was a member of the electric propulsion group at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena\, California where his work combined experimental and analytical techniques to investigate propulsion systems for the next generation of NASA robotic missions. Dr. Jorns also held a lecturer appointment in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at UCLA from 2013-2015. His primary research interests include wear mechanisms and stability in electric propulsion systems\, turbulence and nonlinear processes in low-temperature plasmas\, developing new plasma diagnostics\, and investigating breakthrough forms of in-space propulsion. He has experience with several commercial and government-build plasma propulsion systems including high-current hollow cathodes\, 1-10 kW class Hall thrusters\, and low-TRL electrodeless thruster concepts. His work with electric propulsion technology has centered on developing first-principles understanding of their operating principles as well as implementing time-resolved and laser-based diagnostics to characterize behavior.

The United States and the Making of the 1970s Global Human Rights Imagination DESCRIPTION:American assumptions about their own primacy in the making of a global human rights order ran deep in the 1970s\, a perception that persists to the present day. As one observer has said\, the United States is \"the one nation where human rights is center stage for the world.\" In fact there was a global explosion of interest in human rights in the 1970s. But Americans did not get there first. In fact\, one might argue they got there last. Bradley explains why that is so\, focusing on the rise of new transnational forces that transformed the very nature of international order in the late twentieth century.\n\nMark Philip Bradley is the author of \"The World Reimagined: Americans and Human Rights in the Twentieth Century\" (Cambridge\, 2016)\, \"Vietnam at War\" (Oxford\, 2009)\, and \"Imagining Vietnam and America: The Making of Postcolonial Vietnam\" (UNC\, 2000)\, which won the Harry J. Benda Prize from the Association for Asian Studies. He is the coeditor of \"Familiar Made Strange: American Icons and Artifacts after the Transnational Turn\" (Cornell\, 2015)\, \"Making Sense of the Vietnam Wars\" (Oxford\, 2008)\, and \"Truth Claims: Representation and Human Rights\" (Rutgers\, 2001). Bradley's work has appeared in the \"Journal of American History\,\" the \"Journal of World History\,\" \"Diplomatic History\,\" and \"Dissent.\" \n \nA recipient of fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, and Fulbright-Hays\, Bradley is currently working on an intellectual history of the global south and serves as the general editor for the four volume \"Cambridge History of America and the World.\" \n \nHe has served as president of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations and is coeditor of the Cornell University Press book series\, \"The United States in the World.\" UID:43400-9759929@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43400 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:History,Human Rights,International,Lecture LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 110 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180214T162911 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171116T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Spatiotemporal dynamics of antibiotic response in e. faecalis DESCRIPTION:Antibiotic resistance is among the most urgent threats to public health. In this talk\, I will discuss our group’s ongoing efforts to understand how E. faecalis\, a common source of nosocomial infections\, responds to antibiotics across multiple length and time scales. First\, I’ll describe recent experiments demonstrating that growth inhibition depends strongly on population density for many commonly used antibiotics\, potentially leading to bistable treatment outcomes in a pharmacological model of antibiotic treatment. Perhaps more surprisingly\, in the limit of high population densities\, subinhibitory antibiotic concentrations can promote formation of biofilms--an effect that reflects a trade-off between antibiotic efficacy and the beneficial effects of cell lysis--while higher doses can shape the single-cell architecture of drug resistant communities. Finally\, I’ll overview ongoing work combining laboratory evolution with mathematical modeling aimed at slowing resistance evolution using temporal sequences of antibiotics.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/Unt0dz_pGi8 UID:42929-9685653@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171108T155026 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171116T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: The Global Crisis of 2008: Approaches for a Future History DESCRIPTION:2008 is associated in American historical memory above all with the failure of Lehman Brothers\, the subprime crisis\, the Big Short\, and the election of Barack Obama. But this all-American view drastically foreshortens a crisis with global financial\, economic\, political\, and indeed geopolitical ramifications. It is too early to write the history of the crisis and yet it was instantly historicized as an epochal break in the post-Cold War era. This talk will sketch the outlines of a future history.\n\nAdam Tooze is the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Professor of History at Columbia University\, where he also serves as director of the European Institute. Prior to Columbia he taught at Yale University where he was director of International Security Studies.

Electricity distribution is the canonical example of a natural monopoly. Randomized price offers show that demand for electricity connections falls sharply with price. Experimental variation in the number of connections\, combined with administrative cost data\, reveals considerable scale economies\, as hypothesized. However\, consumer surplus is far less than total construction costs at all price levels. Moreover\, we do not find meaningful medium-run impacts on economic\, health\, and educational outcomes\, nor evidence of spillovers to unconnected local households. These results suggest that current efforts to increase residential electrification in rural Kenya may reduce social welfare. We discuss how leakage of funds\, reduced demand (due to red tape\, low reliability\, and credit constraints)\, and other factors may impact this conclusion UID:45501-10197992@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45501 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Business,Economics,Public Policy LOCATION:Weill Hall (Ford School) - 3240 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171116T181524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171116T173000 SUMMARY:Other:On Discovery in Catalysis DESCRIPTION: Catalysis is a key technology of our modern societies\, since it allows for increased levels of selectivity and efficacy of chemical transformations. While significant progress can be made by rational design or engineered step-by-step improvements\, many pressing challenges in the field require the discovery of new and formerly unexpected results. Arguably\, the question “How to discover?” is at the heart of the scientific process. \nIn this talk\, strategies and discoveries from the Glorius group will be discussed.

A view from Washington. DESCRIPTION:Join Poverty Solutions for a discussion with Olivia Golden\, Executive Director of The Center for Law and Social Policy on family policy\, child care and early education\, work support strategies\, and what the future may hold for low-income people in America.\n\nTalk: 4:30-6:00PM\nReception: 6:00-6:30PM\n\nAbout Olivia Golden:\nOlivia Golden is CLASP's executive director. An expert in child and family programs at the federal\, state\, and local levels\, she has a track record of delivering results for low-income children and families in the nonprofit sector and at all levels of government. During the eight years she served as Commissioner for Children\, Youth\, and Families and then as Assistant Secretary for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (1993-2001)\, Ms. Golden was a key player in expanding and improving Head Start and creating Early Head Start\, implementing landmark welfare reform\, tripling the level of funding for child care\, and doubling adoptions from foster care.\n\nAs an Institute fellow at the Urban Institute from 2008 to 2013\, Ms. Golden spoke\, wrote\, and led major initiatives on poverty and the safety net\, families' economic security and children's well-being. She brings to CLASP the leadership role in a major multi-state initiative\, Work Support Strategies\, which provides six states with the opportunity to design\, test\, and implement reforms to improve low-income working families' access to health reform\, nutrition assistance\, and child care subsidies.\n\nUnder her leadership from 2001 to 2004\, the D.C. Children and Family Services Agency emerged from federal court receivership and markedly improved the lives of children in the District.

Archaeological excavation at four sites on Tse’tse’ede\, “The Cold One” (Steens Mountain\, Oregon) produced evidence for a subsistence and settlement system that likely supported a population of 100 or more. Material culture recovered in association with one house\, various domestic surfaces\, and from a high-elevation hunting locale revealed human use of the mountain spanning thousands of years (roughly 10\,000 to 3\,000 years ago). The excavated house joins the record of diverse Northern Great Basin house structures. Spatial analysis of recovered artifacts revealed specific activity areas at the site\, and exotic artifacts suggest that households were connected to larger regional\, social\, and economic networks reaching into northern California and southwest Oregon. \n\nLecture presented by Michigan Archaeological Society: \nhttp://www.miarch.org/ UID:46180-10409861@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46180 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Archaeology,Lecture LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171115T181514 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171116T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Creative Arts Orchestra DESCRIPTION:Mark Kirschenmann\, director.\n\nA performance of creative ensemble improvisations.
