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

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

A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Flights of Fancy: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Since Ellie Harold started painting in 2003\, she has primarily been a landscape artist\, painting Michigan barns and lake shore scenes in oil. In November 2016\, following a trip to Mexico\, birds unexpectedly started migrating to her canvases and an entirely new body of work began to take shape. The current exhibit\, Flights of Fancy\, features birds in colorful\, light-filled works. The birds represent the lightness she associates with qualities of joy\, hope\, healing and inspiration she sees as a source of personal well-being.

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative Biology | Real-Time Imaging of Single mRNA Translation Dynamics in Living Cells
DESCRIPTION:We are developing technology to image single RNA translation dynamics in living cells. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Colloquium:  Neurodevelopmental Mechanisms linking Environmental Experience with the Onset of Psychopathology
DESCRIPTION:Children who have experienced environmental adversity—such as abuse\, neglect\, or poverty—are at markedly elevated risk for developing psychopathology.  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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): What Is the Long-Run Causal Relationship between Wealth and Psychological Well-being?
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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | The Highway\, Automobility and New Promises in 1960s Bombay Cinema
DESCRIPTION:A fascination for color in the 1960s led to Bombay cinema’s mobilization of the hinterland as the site for a new future. With the development of Indian highways and an increase in automobility\, a new map of India now occupied the cinematic imagination. This talk will explore the links between the infrastructure of automobile culture\, the highway\, industrial development outside the city\, and 1960s Bombay Cinema.\n \nRanjani Mazumdar is Professor of Cinema Studies at the School of Arts & Aesthetics\, Jawaharlal Nehru University. Her publications focus on urban cultures\, popular cinema\, gender and the cinematic city. She is the author of Bombay Cinema: An Archive of the City (2007) and co-author with Nitin Govil of the forthcoming The Indian Film Industry. Her current research focuses on globalization and film culture\, the visual culture of film posters and the intersection of technology\, travel\, design and colour in 1960s Bombay Cinema.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"Sex Toys and Social Entrepreneurship: The Possibilities and Pitfalls of Queer Capitalism\"
DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\nJoin \"Vibrator Nation\" author Lynn Comella as she draws from her recently published book about the history of feminist and queer-run sex-toy stores to discuss the possibilities and pitfalls of queer capitalism\, including the challenges of balancing profitability and social change in a rapidly expanding and increasingly competitive sexual marketplace.  \n\nAbout the Book:\nIn the 1970s a group of pioneering feminist entrepreneurs launched a movement that ultimately changed the way sex was talked about\, had\, and enjoyed. 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 *

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 813 Seminar: James P. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Stand Up for the Power of Skillful Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ball is the William H. 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. The subject is An Update on Health Care Reform: Where Does it Stand?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Defense: Characterization of a 100-kW Class Nested-Channel Hall Thruster
DESCRIPTION:Aerospace Engineering PhD Candidate: Scott Hall\, Dissertation Co-Chairs: Dean Alec Gallimore and Benjamin Jorns\n\nThe next generation of electric propulsion consists of systems in excess of 300 kW of power. 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.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Tuesday Lecture Series | Capital Punishment and “Confucian Clemency”: The Quandaries of Qing Criminal Justice
DESCRIPTION:Please note the new time and location for our 2017-18 lecture series.\n\nViolent crime in the Chinese provinces of the empire was a growing concern for the Qing court over the course of the long eighteenth century (1683-1820). 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Brown Bag: David Bates Douglass Papers
DESCRIPTION:This lecture examines the more than 600 new manuscript additions to the David Bates Douglass Papers and provides a glimpse of an early nineteenth-century American family.\n\n\"Getting to work with the David Bates Douglass Papers has helped deepen my understanding of the ways that librarians\, information technology specialists\, and archivists shape historical work. For example\, as a historian who always incorporates gender and class in my scholarship\, I could use those skills to identify elements of gender and class within the overall collection\, thus showing how much broader the collection is in its scope. Therefore\, one of the most important aspects of this experience\, for me\, was learning the significance of bringing diverse people and skills to the work of organizing and preserving the objects that connect us to the the past\, and that make up the material historians use for its interpretation.\" \n\n -Katie LaPlant

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Collecting for the Academy: University Museums and the Production of Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan boasts 20 distinct museums and collections\, which contain over twenty-five million zoological specimens\, herbarium sheets\, ethnographical artifacts\, and artworks from around the globe. 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. Stern fellow at the Institute for the humanities.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Bioscience Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk title: Regulating emotion in social and moral contexts\n\nWhether it is flipping through the day’s headlines\, gossiping with a coworker\, or deciding whether or not to give up their seat on a crowded bus\, individuals frequently encounter moral information and make moral decisions. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Mind the Gap: a Cascade of Instabilities Created by Rotating Beads Near a Floor
DESCRIPTION:Does a rotating bead always spin in place? 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. 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.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:\"Sins Invalid\"
DESCRIPTION:U-M Professor Petra Kuppers will introduce the film\, including a short reading from her new book \"Theatre & Disability\,\" followed by the film screening\, open discussion\, and a book signing.\n\nThis 33-minute documentary explores Sins Invalid\, a performance project that incubates and celebrates artists with disabilities\, centralizing artists of color and queer and gender-variant artists as communities who have been historically marginalized. The performance work explores the themes of sexuality\, embodiment and the disabled body. Conceived and led by disabled people of color\, they develop and present cutting-edge work where normative paradigms of \"normal\" and \"sexy\" are challenged\, offering instead a vision of beauty and sexuality inclusive of all individuals and communities. \"Sins Invalid\" is as an entryway into the absurdly taboo topic of sexuality and disability\, manifesting a new paradigm of disability justice.\n\nPetra Kuppers\, U-M professor of English language and literature\, women's studies\, art\, and theater and drama\, is a community performance artist and a disability culture activist.

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

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:2017 CEW Spectrum of Advocacy & Activism Symposium: Finding Your Voice
DESCRIPTION:CEW is leading a one-day Spectrum of Advocacy and Activism Symposium: Finding Your Voice focused on advocacy and activism training. 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

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar: Energy Transfer in Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
DESCRIPTION:Compressibility\, magnetic fields and turbulence are all thought to be important factors to varying degrees in many astrophysical processes and terrestrial experiments. 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).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture | Biopolitics and Life-Writing among Ottoman Armenians: The Sacred Life of Zabel Yesayan
DESCRIPTION:The Cilician massacres in 1909 were a moment in the newly emerging political landscape that affected not only the lives of Armenians in the region\, but the entire Armenian community in the Ottoman state. 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).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The Physics and Applications of 2D and 3D Organic Heterojunctions
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, we introduced a comprehensive theory of carrier recombination and energy transport at organic and hybrid organic/inorganic semiconductor heterojunctions (OI-HJ).[1] The OI-HJ has been found to play an important role in numerous devices in photodetection and energy power conversion. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 15\, 2017\n4:00-5:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nMichigan Ross Campus\nRoss Building\n701 Tappan \nRobertson Auditorium\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-1234\n\nThis Positive Links session is co-presented by the Center for Positive Organizations and the Center for Social Impact at Michigan Ross.\n\nRegister: http://myumi.ch/aMkbl\n\nGain inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in people. Learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout Fredriksson's talk:\nIt has only been 40 years since all Cambodian schools were closed and many teachers were killed. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 Seminar: Li Zeng\, Texas A&M University
DESCRIPTION:Title: Constrained Modeling of Experimental Data in Biofabrication\n\nSpeaker: Li Zeng\nAssistant Professor \nIndustrial and Systems Engineering\nTexas A&M University\n\nAbstract: Biofabrication is an emerging research field. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Lebensraum on the Pacific: Anton Wagner and the Urban Geography of Los Angeles\"
DESCRIPTION:In 1971 British architectural historian P. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CEW at U-M Presents: LAVERNE COX
DESCRIPTION:This event is free and open to the public\, however\, tickets are required. A limited amount of tickets are available at the Michigan Union Ticket Office online\, in person\, or via phone. The lecture cannot be recorded\; however\, it will be live-streamed at the Rackham Amphitheatre and the Michigan League Ballroom.\n\n__________________________________________\n\nU-M CEW brings celebrated and award-winning transgender actress\, producer & equal rights advocate Laverne Cox to Rackham Auditorium on Wednesday\, November 15th at 6:00 p.m. In Ms. Cox’s lecture\, titled Ain't I a Woman: My Journey to Womanhood\, she will be sharing her experiences as a trans woman of color\, and her work as an international advocate for human rights and gender equality. This lecture serves as the capstone event to the 2017 CEW Spectrum of Advocacy & Activism Symposium being held earlier in the day.\n\nLaverne Cox is an Emmy-nominated actress\, Emmy-winning producer and the first transgender woman of color to have a leading role on a mainstream scripted television show. As the 2017 Mullin Welch guest lecturer\, Laverne will be sharing her experiences as a trans woman of color\, and her work as an international advocate for human rights and gender equality.\n\nAs \"Sophia Burset\,\" an incarcerated African American transgender woman on “Orange is the New Black\,” Laverne is the first trans woman of color to have a leading role on a mainstream scripted television show. Along with several acting awards\, Laverne was notably the first trans woman to appear on the cover of TIME magazine. An accomplished producer and celebrated equal rights advocate\, she continues to drive positive change on a global scale as she shares her views on race\, class\, and gender with audiences through a range of platforms.\n\nLaverne projects a combination of strength and vulnerability in her presentations while delivering an animated reflection on the transgender experience. Her recollections of growing up in Mobile\, Ala.\, moving to New York City\, and finding the courage to step into womanhood illustrate the unique challenges faced by the transgender community. With a powerful and empowering message about self-acceptance and love\, Laverne moves audiences to respect and appreciate all individuals and advocate for positive change. \n\nThis lecture is made possible through the generous support of the CEW Frances & Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and the CEW Mullin Welch Fund. Additional funding is provided by the Office of the Provost’s King-Chavez-Parks Visiting Professorship Program.\n\nCEW would also like to thank the following University of Michigan event partners: Institute for Research on Women & Gender (IRWG)\, College of Literature\, Science and the Arts (LSA)\, Office of the Vice Provost for Equity\, Inclusion and Academic Affairs\, University Human Resources (UHR)\, Women of Color Task Force (WCTF)\, Athletics\, School of Public Health (SPH)\, Student Life\, Spectrum Center\, and the Ginsberg Center.\n\nThe CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund promotes diversity and cultural awareness by bringing women leaders to campus.\n\nThe CEW Mullin Welch Lecture Series was established in 1989 by Frances Daseler and Marjorie Jackson in memory of their sister Elizabeth Charlotte Mullin Welch. This fund brings to the U-M campus outstanding women who exemplify Elizabeth's characteristics: creativity\, strength of character\, and expansive vision.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Arthur Vandenberg: The Man in the Middle of the American Century
DESCRIPTION:Dessert reception to follow.\nThis event will be live webstreamed. 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.

SUMMARY:Well-being:FREE 4-Session Mindfulness Class
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION OPEN FOR ALL STUDENTS!\nWednesdays from 7:00 - 8:15pm (11/15\, 11/29\, 12/6\, 12/13)\n@ Ann Arbor District Library Meeting Room (343 S. 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.

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:FinTech Risks and Opportunities: An Interdisciplinary Approach
DESCRIPTION:This two-day event will bring together a wide range of researchers\, policymakers\, students\, and\npractitioners from various disciplines.\n\nFinancial technology\, or FinTech\, can be traced back to the introduction of the telegraph in the 1860s. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:“Squish and squeeze – Nuclear mechanics and mechanotransduction in physiology and disease”
DESCRIPTION:Jan Lammerding\, PhD\nAssociate Professor\, Director of Graduate Studies\nMeinig School of Biomedical Engineering\nWeill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology\nCornell University\n \n“Squish and squeeze – Nuclear mechanics and mechanotransduction in physiology and disease”\nABSTRACT:  The nucleus is the characteristic feature of eukaryotic cells and houses the genomic information of the cell. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Ainu Indigenous Modernity in Settler Japan
DESCRIPTION:In Japan today\, Indigenous Ainu women stitch together ancestral memory and global Indigenous activism to challenge bitter legacies of settler racism and colonial erasure. 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. Her publications include \"The Fabric of Indigeneity: Ainu Identity\, Gender\, and Settler Colonialism in Japan\" (2016) and she is a co-editor of \"Beyond Ainu Studies: Changing Academic and Public Perspectives\" (2014). Her work-in-progress\, entitled \"In Pursuit of Energy Justice: Nuclear Diplomacy and Embodied Solidarity in Japan and India\" examines how grassroots and irradiated communities center the human body in order to make radiation visible and to block nuclear energy development from poisoning their homelands.

SUMMARY:Presentation:GFP Colloquium Speaker
DESCRIPTION:Title: Too close for comfort? 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Dealing with a Little Turbulence on the Trip out to Mars
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Benjamin Jorns\, Assistant Professor Aerospace Engineering\, University of Michigan\n\nHigh power electric propulsion (EP) thrusters are an enabling technology for the next generation of deep-space exploration.  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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Center for World Performance Studies | PERFORMANCE TALKS: adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Kaoru Watanabe went from being culturally \"American\,\" playing classical music as a child in St. Louis and studying jazz flute and saxophone at the Manhattan School of Music\, to being a member of the globetrotting Japanese taiko drumming ensemble Kodo and becoming a leading specialist in the bamboo shinobue flute. He now lives back in New York\, creating his own genre of music that reflects the entirety of his musical and cultural experiences and collaborating with artists like pianist Jason Moran\, filmmaker Wes Anderson and Yo-Yo Ma and the Silkroad Ensemble. \n\nFor his talk at the Residential College\, Watanabe will address the unending series of adaptations he's dealt with through this journey and reflect on how it has affected his art.\n\nWatanabe also performs at Kerrytown Concert House on Tuesday\, 11/14 at 8pm. \n\nFor more information\, contact cwps.information@umich.edu\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact Center for World Performance Studies\, at 734-936-2777\, at least one week in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture. 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.\"

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

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. He began his professional life at the University of Cambridge where he taught for thirteen years. Tooze has published extensively on modern European history\, economic history\, and current affairs. He is best known for three prize-winning books: Statistics and the German State 1900-1945: The Making of Modern Economic Knowledge (Cambridge\, 2001)\, Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy (2006)\, and The Deluge: The Great War and the Remaking of the Global Order (2014). The Deluge was the winner of the LA Times Prize for History. In 2015 he was the co-editor with Michael Geyer of the third volume of the Cambridge History of World War II. Sudden Stop\, a history of the global financial crisis of 2008 and its aftermath\, will appear in 2018. Tooze blogs from adamtooze.com and @adam_tooze.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Experimental Evidence on the Economics of Rural electrification
DESCRIPTION:We present results from an experiment that randomized the expansion of electric grid infrastructure in rural Kenya. 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

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. Topics might involve art\, the use of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in different fields of catalysis and also photocatalysis.\n                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nFrank Glorius (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What will the future hold for low-income people? 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.  Her book Reforming Child Welfare [2009] melds this experience with original research to recommend policy\, practice\, and leadership strategies to improve outcomes for very vulnerable children and their families.\n\nDuring 2007\, she oversaw the management of all state government agencies as New York's director of state operations. She was also director of programs and policy at the Children's Defense Fund (1991-1993)\, a lecturer in public policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government at (1987-1991)\, and budget director of Massachusetts's Executive Office of Human Services (1983-1985). Her book\, Poor Children and Welfare Reform [1992]\, draws lessons from welfare programs around the country that tried to make a difference to families by serving two generations\, both parent and child.\n\nMs. Golden holds a doctorate and a master's degree in public policy from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard\, where she earned a B.A. in philosophy and government.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MAS Lecture | Nobi-ni Tse'tse'ede (House on the Cold One)\, an Original Occupation
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Emily Mueller Epstein as she explores the results of her dissertation research within the context of pre-contact houses and households in the American Northwest. 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/

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:FinTech Risks and Opportunities: An Interdisciplinary Approach
DESCRIPTION:This two-day event will bring together a wide range of researchers\, policymakers\, students\, and\npractitioners from various disciplines.\n\nFinancial technology\, or FinTech\, can be traced back to the introduction of the telegraph in the 1860s. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE285 Undergraduate Seminar | Wastes in Space: Closed-Loop Life Support
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Shull’s 16-year career at NASA Johnson Space Center has spanned 9 years in Mission Control\, 6 years in the Engineering Directorate and 1 year in the Exploration Mission Planning Office.   This talk with touch a bit on all three areas\, with a technical emphasis on her work developing reliable\, energy-efficient\, and low-mass spacecraft systems to provide environmental control and life support systems (ECLSS) critical to enabling long duration human missions beyond low Earth orbit (LEO).   \n\nNASA’s work on life support systems (LSS) focuses on four areas: architecture and systems engineering for life support systems\, environmental monitoring\, air revitalization\, and wastewater processing and water management.  Starting with the international space station (ISS) LSS systems as a point of departure (where applicable)\, the goal is to address discrete LSS technology gaps\, improve the reliability of LSS systems and advance exploration systems towards integrated testing on the ISS.  This talk will elaborate on the work done to-date on the goals above as well as an overview of NASA’s current plans for exploration beyond LEO.\n\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nSarah Shull works in the Exploration Mission Planning Office at NASA's Johnson Space Center where she is the Technical Monitor on the Sierra Nevada Corporation NextSTEP Habitation contract and the Systems Engineering Lead for the Exploration Systems Division End-to-end Mission Performance Team. Prior to these roles\, Sarah spent six years in the Crew and Thermal Systems Division where she was the Deputy Project Manager for the Advanced Exploration Systems (AES) Life Support Systems Project and the group lead for the Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) Technology Development Team.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Making A Difference: Women\, Art and Activism in South Africa Today
DESCRIPTION:Women’s collaborations continue to lead the way in a number of critical human rights issues in post-apartheid South Africa: historical memory and heritage\; housing and land rights\; HIV/AIDS\; LGBTI rights and the right to safety at home and at work without fear of violence. The ongoing struggles for these rights are usually intertwined.  \n\nAt the UN Women Summit in May 2016\, the Executive Director\, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka\, specifically highlighted the critical importance of women’s role\, “Experience and research show that when women are included in humanitarian action\, the entire community benefits…Women must be included in decision-making about the forms of assistance\, means of delivery\, and the provision of the protection and economic and social empowerment opportunities they need so they can be agents of change.” (http//www.unwomen.org/en/news/in-focus/humanitarian-actionhashtagsthash.RBIoHrzc.dpuf)\n\nThis lecture argues that while the conventional political terrain in South Africa appears to be stalling on delivering the fruits of a democratic process\, a new space for effective political activism on the ground has been opened up by women makers and artists. The lecture explores some of the extraordinary projects which have taken the initiative to transform complex social environments  still blighted by the devastating legacy of the apartheid years and the economic and health challenges presented by years of official denialism in the face of the AIDS/HIV pandemic. It argues that gender is a critical component in the wider social efficacy of these art projects.\n\nThe lecture contends that the art and creative collaborations examined in this research has lent agency to women activists and has become an effective means of challenging the authorities and raising awareness of women’s rights. It argues that the mental and physical health benefits arising from these processes have enabled the confident transmission of accessible and lifesaving knowledge.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nAnnie E. Coombes is Professor of Material and Visual Culture in the Department of Art History and Founding Director of the Peltz Gallery at Birkbeck\, University of London. Coombes is an art and cultural historian specializing in the history of the culture of British colonialism and its legacy in the present\, particularly in Africa (Kenya and South Africa) and in former settler colonies. Her prize-winning books include: History After Apartheid: Visual Culture and Public Memory in a Democratic South Africa (2003) and Reinventing Africa: Museums\, Material Culture and Popular Imagination in Late Victorian and Edwardian England (1994).\n\nImage credit: Nondumiso Hlwele\, Body Map\, 2002

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Alan J. Hunt Memorial Lecture: Christopher S. Chen\, M.D.\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:In vivo\, local tissue structure defines the cellular environment\, constraining how cells interact with surrounding extracellular matrix substrates\, neighboring cells\, soluble growth factors\, and physical forces.  These “microenvironmental” cues in turn play a central role in regulating the behavior of individual resident cells\, such as proliferation\, differentiation\, migration\, and suicide.  Here\, I will present 3D culture platforms that are able to recapitulate more complex functions of biological tissues\, and how we are using them to gain deeper insights into disease and physiology.\n\nRefreshments in the lobby following the lecture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB MUSEUMS Monthly Seminar: Michigan's First Survey and Pre-settlement Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Michigan is unique in that immediately after achieving statehood in\n1837\, the fledgling Legislature authorized a comprehensive \"First\nGeological Survey\" of the State's natural resources. This included not\nonly geology and soils\, but also timber resources\, and a survey of\nplants and animals\, and it included the collection of specimens which\nbecame the foundation of the present day Museum and Herbarium\ncollections. The plant collections are especially extensive\, but were\npoorly labeled and suffered from past curatorial practises that\ndiminished their value. But\, reconstructing the data and itineraries\nfrom several sources provides a detailed view of the flora and\, to\nsome degree\, the vegetation of the state before extensive modification\nby European settlement\, as well as insight into local extinctions and\nother changes in the flora.

SUMMARY:Meeting:Graduate School Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Linguistics PhD student Rachel Elizabeth Weissler is hosting an information session for undergraduates interested in applying to graduate school! Before attending U-M\, Rachel was a part of the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers (IRT). IRT is a program that helped her apply to graduate school by covering the cost of applying and providing GRE prep. \n\nWhat is IRT? \nThe IRT addresses the lack of diversity in the nation's teaching faculties by recruiting outstanding students of color and other scholars committed to diversity\, counseling them through the graduate school application process\, and advocating for sufficient funding for advanced study. Since 1990\, the IRT has built a national consortium of colleges and universities that are eager to enroll IRT students to diversify their graduate student bodies and to expand the pipeline of educators to teach\, counsel\, and administrate in American schools\, colleges\, and universities. \n\nFrom early September through mid-November\, all IRT participants receive the following support throughout the graduate school application process at no charge\, which include: \n1. Individualized support and extensive counseling as fellows choose graduate programs and apply to a renowned consortium of graduate schools across the country \n2. Application fee waivers for up to 12 consortium schools \n3. Assistance in fine-tuning statements of purpose\, resumes\, and writing samples \n\nAdditionally\, the IRT sponsors a Summer Workshop\, a paid internship on the Phillips Academy campus\, located just outside of Boston\, MA. Participants engage in a graduate-level curriculum of critical\, cultural\, and educational theory during an intense four-week program\; students and faculty work together nine hours each day\, seven days a week.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminars | Cosmology of a Fine-Tuned SUSY Higgs
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss some work in progress that explores whether a mildly fine-tuned Higgs boson\, as in (mini-)split supersymmetry\, can have interesting or observable cosmological consequences. As moduli fields oscillate\, the Higgs can respond and temporarily acquire very large values along a D-flat direction. Possible consequences include a burst of gravitational wave production and an altered estimate of the number of e-folds of inflation.

DESCRIPTION:We are seeing vast changes in academic and teaching platforms as more information moves from in-person classrooms and paper journals to the Internet.  We are also seeing a changing demographic of students both nationally and internationally.  As science communicators we need to adjust to the drastically different landscape as online education broadens\, becomes more dynamic and pressures lecturers and other couriers of science to innovate or become obsolete. There are some simple approaches to widen the reach of your science and presentations to attract and hold people's attention and interest.  Martin Pepper's talk will illustrate how technology and social media is transforming communication and will convey the basics of addictive science communication and how it applies to spreading information in all formats.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ISP Lecture. Eating the Audience’s Brain: Persianate Sociability in 18th-Century Delhi’s Poetry Salons
DESCRIPTION:The grave of 18th-century Persian-language poet ʿAbd al-Qadir Bedil (d. 1720) hosted a posthumous literary salon from 1721 to roughly 1760. In anecdotes and verse\, poets’ memories of the posthumous salon and its verse reveal how non-elite social actors shaped the Persianate literary sphere of Mughal India. Early modern literary spheres and shrine spaces have remained elusive subjects for social historians of South Asia\, greater Iran\, and Central Asia. My analysis of this shrine-based salon\, as memorialized in period diaries\, focuses on how localized/trans-regional textual processes mirrored the material settings in which they were deployed. New approaches to understanding available historical material\, such as those focusing on literary modes of representation\, are needed to document late-Mughal cultural history. From this position\, we see how the socio-literary space of the shrine compels a vernacular appraisal of social institutions and linguistic spheres in which literary practices are viewed as ambiguous modes of pre-colonial sociability motivated by multilingual social actors.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Journal Club
DESCRIPTION:The paper by McShane et al\, \"Abandon Statistical Significance\,\" was selected for our last Journal Club meeting of this term.\n\nAbstract\n\nIn science publishing and many areas of research\, the status quo is a lexicographic decision rule in which any result is first required to have a p-value that surpasses the 0.05 threshold and only then is consideration—often scant—given to such factors as prior and related evidence\, plausibility of mechanism\, study design and data quality\, real world costs and benefits\, novelty of finding\, and other factors that vary by research domain. There have been recent proposals to change the p-value threshold\, but instead we recommend abandoning the null hypothesis significance testing paradigm entirely\, leaving p-values as just one of many pieces of information with no privileged role in scientific publication and decision making. We argue that this radical approach is both practical and sensible.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LECTURE: ANANYA ROY\, \"THE CITY IN THE AGE OF TRUMPISM: FROM SANCTUARY TO ABOLITION\"
DESCRIPTION:Ananya Roy is Professor of Urban Planning\, Social Welfare and Geography and inaugural Director of the Institute on Inequality and Democracy at UCLA Luskin. She holds The Meyer and Renee Luskin Chair in Inequality and Democracy. Previously she was on the faculty at the University of California\, Berkeley.\nAnanya’s research and scholarship has a determined focus on poverty and inequality and lies in four domains: how the urban poor in cities from Kolkata to Chicago face and fight eviction\, foreclosure\, and displacement\; how global financialization\, working in varied realms from microfinance to real-estate speculation\, creates new markets in debt and risk\; how the efforts to manage and govern the problem of poverty reveal the contradictions and limits of liberal democracy\; how new programs of welfare and human development are being demanded and made in the global South. Ananya is the author of several books including Poverty Capital: Microfinance and the Making of Development (Routledge\, 2010)\, which received the Paul Davidoff book award from ACSP.  Her most recent book is Encountering Poverty: Thinking and Acting in an Unequal World (UC Press\, 2016).  During the last year\, Ananya’s public scholarship has challenged white supremacy and white power.  From the short video\, 3 Truths About Trumpism\, to the organization of a nationwide day of Teach.Organize.Resist\, her work mobilizes the power of knowledge to “divest from whiteness.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Ragas in Autumn
DESCRIPTION:An evening of Hindustani Classical music where Mr. Abhik Mukherjee will be playing the sitar (an ancient Indian Classical stringed instrument) and Mr. Amit K. Chatterjee will be accompanying him on the tabla (Indian percussion). \n\nHindustani (Indian) classical music is developed through two interwoven elements: raga and tala. Raga is the melodic element and is crafted by improvisation on fixed patterns of ascent and descent. Conversely\, tala is the rhythmic structure on which the melody is laid. \n\nHindu philosophy provides a spiritual parallel through which the listener can experience the melding of raga-tala. Shiva\, god of time\, represents the stable rhythm of the tala\, while Shakti\, the goddess of creation\, is the melodic dance over the rhythm. Through the play of Shiva and Shakti the universe is born and reborn across cosmic time. The blend of raga-tala represents this play.\n\nHindustani classical music also draws inspiration from the hours of the day. Every day is divided into eight sections (ashta prahar)\, with each three-hour section having certain ragas best suited to its mood. \n\nIn this concert evening ragas will be performed that\, through the versatile structure of raga-tala\, will encourage the audience to experience the range of emotions associated with this time of the day.\n\nAbhik Mukherjee is a Kolkata-born sitar player of the Etawah-Imdadkhani gharana. Some of his memorable concerts include performances for the inauguration of the Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. memorial (Washington D.C.)\; at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City)\; at the Indian Habitat Center (Delhi)\; on Doordarshan (Kolkata)\; and a summer tour of Italy\, Germany\, and Switzerland. Abhik currently lives in New York City and is a founding member of Brooklyn Raga Massive\, an Indian classical music artists’ collective.\n\nThis is a free event where the audience gets to interact with the artists one on one after the performance!

With the country severely divided along political and financial lines\, Jackson climbs from populist rabble-rouser to President of the United States. Along the way\, he meets his wife\, Rachel\, takes on the Founding Fathers – and rocks like no political figure has ever rocked before\, with the help of an onstage trio and an entourage of singing\, joking cohorts. Dubbed by many historians as “the American Hitler\,” Andrew Jackson and his story cause us to question what causes the rise of such a president — and who is responsible for creating the legacy that he leaves behind.

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

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

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

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

Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection
DESCRIPTION:\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" showcases the master draftsmanship of two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n                                                                                                                                                                        \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

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

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

DESCRIPTION:BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON explores the life of America's controversial seventh president from his early days as a child to his reign in the White House. With the country severely divided along political and financial lines\, Jackson climbs from populist rabble-rouser to President of the United States. Along the way\, he meets his wife\, Rachel\, takes on the Founding Fathers – and rocks like no political figure has ever rocked before\, with the help of an onstage trio and an entourage of singing\, joking cohorts. Dubbed by many historians as “the American Hitler\,” Andrew Jackson and his story cause us to question what causes the rise of such a president — and who is responsible for creating the legacy that he leaves behind.
