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

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

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696928@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122637 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171124T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171124T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

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

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

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.

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

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally.

A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East.

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.

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.

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

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits.

UMMA Docents will discuss their influences upon his own work\, Nhlengethwa shows an exchange of ideas within and across borders that moves past the oft-stated influence of African artworks on avant-garde European artists.

Through the use of multi-scale fabrication and integration tools\, my laboratory focuses on the development and application of human tissue/organ-on- a-chip platforms and stem cell technologies for elucidating regenerative biology\, drug screening\, disease modeling\, and cell-based therapies. In this talk\, I will introduce scalable\, nanotopographically-controlled cell and tissue culture models developed in our laboratory\, including nanopatterned human 3D cardiac muscle patches\, human iPSC-based cardiac microphysiological systems\, and a high-throughput drug-induced cardiotoxicity screening assay. Using these biofabricated tools in combination with human pluripotent stem cell technologies\, I will highlight how our biomimetic tissue models helps to gain a better understanding of the structure- function relationship in complex 3D tissues\, and serve as emerging platforms for regenerative cell therapy\, disease modeling\, and drug screening.

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.

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.

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.

Specifically\, we examined how youth’s cultural socialization experiences and youth’s sense of family cohesion were related to ethnic identity processes (e.g. EI exploration\, resolution\, affirmation). It was hypothesized that youth who experienced high cultural socialization in a cohesive family context\, would show high levels of ethnic identity exploration\, resolution\, and affirmation. Using time 1 of a larger longitudinal study\, 149 Latino adolescents (ages 13-14\; 53% females) from a Midwestern city completed the ethnic identity scale (Umaña-Talyor et al. 2004)\, familial ethnic socialization (Umaña-Taylor\, 2001\; Umaña-Taylor et al. 2009)\, and family cohesion (Alegría &\; Takeuchi\, 2004). Results suggest that among youth who are exposed to less cultural socialization\, having a more cohesive family was associated with more ethnic exploration\, as compared to youth in less cohesive families. Feeling close to one’s family was also related to having a clearer sense of one’s ethnicity\, independent of cultural socialization experiences. Finally\, more cultural socialization was associated with higher ethnic identity affirmation among youth in less rather than more cohesive families. Findings are further discussed in light of normative adolescent development.\n\nBiography\nKevin Constante is a third year Ph. D candidate in the Developmental Psychology program. He earned his B.A in Forensic Psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice\, City University of New York. His research involves understanding how adolescent develop connections to their ethnic heritage\, and it’s promotive and protective benefits\, such as in school. His work also involves studying the role of the family cultural contexts on adolescent health risk behaviors. Through the Developmental Training Grant\, he is investigating how one’s ethnic identity shape neural mechanisms that may underlie adolescent risk-taking behaviors.\n\nJOYCE LEE\n\nTitle: \nLongitudinal and reciprocal relations between coparenting relationship quality and father engagement in low-income families\n \nAbstract \nFew studies of low-income\, unmarried parents of young children have examined the longitudinal and reciprocal relations between coparenting relationship quality and father involvement. The goal of this study was to examine whether low-income parents’ coparenting relationship quality and father engagement (in caregiving and play) share a reciprocal relation across the first three years of their child’s life. Data were from Building Strong Families (BSF)\, a large-scale study of low-income\, unmarried couples who enrolled in a relationship strengthening program at or near the birth of their child. The analytic sample consisted of 2\,098 families whose fathers were consistently residential with the mother and child all or most of the time. The study used fathers’ and mothers’ reports of coparenting relationship quality and fathers’ reports of father engagement at two time points: 15 months (T1) and 36 months (T2) after the couple enrolled in the BSF program. A cross-lagged analysis was conducted using couple-level coparenting and father engagement latent variables at T1 and T2. Results showed that couple-level coparenting predicted fathers’ increased engagement in cognitively and socially stimulating play activities\, but not in caregiving. These findings suggest that targeting low-income parents’ coparenting relationship quality may be one way to promote low-income residential fathers’ ongoing engagement in play with their young children.\n \nBiography\nJoyce Lee is a third-year doctoral student in Social Work and Developmental Psychology\, working with Drs. Brenda Volling and Shawna Lee. She received her bachelor’s degree in Social Work with a minor in Psychology at Rutgers University and her master’s degree in Social Work at Columbia University. Currently\, her research involves understanding predictors of father involvement among low-income men\, measurement issues related to father involvement\, and the ways in which fathers’ positive parenting practices—such as sensitivity\, warmth\, and inductive discipline—prevent early signs of child maltreatment and promote healthy socioemotional outcomes for children.

The awards are bestowed in recognition of excellence\, innovation\, and enhancement of the quality of life. Dr. Wilkins is the first U-M Taubman College faculty member to receive this honor since the award's founding in 2000. \nWilkins is an architect\, academic\, and author recognized as one of the country’s leading scholars on African Americans in architecture. He is the former director of the U-M Detroit Community Design Center\, as well as a senior lecturer in architecture at U-M Taubman College. Both his creative practice and pedagogy are informed by the long\, rich\, yet relatively untold stories of people of color in both the physical and symbolic construction of America. At multiple levels across diverse platforms\, his award-winning books\, chapters\, essays\, and design interventions recover and present the rich social\, cultural\, political\, historical\, and aesthetic contributions of oft-ignored people and practitioners of color for professional and public engagement.\n\nMore about the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award: \nFirst launched at the White House in 2000 as an official project of the White House Millennium Council\, the annual Awards program celebrates design as a vital humanistic tool in shaping the world\, and seeks to increase national awareness of the impact of design through education initiatives.\nThe National Design Awards is one of the few programs of its kind structured to continue to benefit the nation long after the National Design Awards Gala. A suite of educational programs is offered in conjunction with the Awards during National Design Week\, an initiative launched in 2006 that aims to draw national attention to the ways in which design enriches everyday life. During National Design Week\, the Museum hosts a series of education programs based on the vision and work of the honorees\, and helps promote design events held across the country.

Echoes of Transformation and Crises. Debates on Political Institutions in Interwar Argentina within the University of Buenos Aires' Faculty of Law (1920s-1940s) DESCRIPTION:Although Argentine historians have begun to analyze how politicians understood the crisis of democracy in the interwar period\, few studies have explored how legal scholars understood the problems of the Argentine representative system and the broader crisis of the worldwide liberal constitutional order in the interwar period. \n \nThis lecture focuses on debates over republican and federal systems in interwar Argentina\, particularly through analysis of the scholarly production of professors and alumni linked to the Faculty of Law of the University of Buenos Aires. In this sense\, it will analyze intersections between the worlds of academics and politics\, and examine the most important diagnoses about the constitutional system and its actual operation in the view of one of the most important schools of Law in the country. In this context\, the cases of the United States and Europe became crucial points of comparison\, leading many to argue for the need to reform Argentina’s political institutions. \n \nDr. Ignacio López holds a Ph.D. in History from Torcuato Di Tella University\, in Argentina.

Born the son of Alabama sharecroppers\, Lewis’s childhood was filled with deeply inspirational moments\, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the words of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. heard on radio broadcasts. As a college student\, Lewis’s inspiration fueled his commitment to end legalized racial segregation\; he was chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and was one of the “Big Six” leaders of groups who organized the 1963 March on Washington. His dedication to the highest ethical standards and moral principles has won Lewis the admiration of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle in the United States Congress. Lewis has dedicated his life to protecting human rights\, securing civil liberties\, and building what he calls “The Beloved Community” in America. Lewis co-wrote his story with his then-Congressional Aid\, now Digital Director and Policy Advisor\, Andrew Aydin\, in the form of the graphic novel trilogy\, MARCH (2013).

New technologies are enabling scientists to study this disease as never before possible\, but a curative “Alzheimer’s pill” remains out of reach. A recent report by an expert commission concluded that one third of Alzheimer’s cases are preventable\, highlighting promising research on the role of modifiable lifestyle factors. This talk will discuss multiple pathways to building resilience to Alzheimer’s disease through individual and social changes.\n\nDr. Zahodne is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan. She received a PhD in Clinical Neuropsychology from the University of Florida and completed additional training at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University and Columbia University in the City of New York. She is a licensed psychologist with clinical expertise in the assessment of dementia. Dr. Zahodne has received early career awards from the American Psychological Association and the American Neuropsychiatric Association for her research\, which focuses on risk and protective factors for Alzheimer’s disease in diverse populations. Dr. Zahodne is particularly interested in how psychosocial factors modify the Alzheimer’s disease pathogenic pathway\, from brain structure to cognitive performance\, and she holds multiple grants from the National Institute on Aging to fund her community-based research efforts.

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

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

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

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696932@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122637 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171128T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171128T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We apologize for any inconvenience.\n\nChinese Buddhism of the eighth through tenth centuries was marked by internal debates over the orthodox interpretation of buddha nature theory—and the concomitant development of advanced ritual methods for attaining the buddha-mind\, or mind-ground as it was also known. By the mid eighth century\, the methods used to access and transmit the mind-ground\, like the mind-ground itself\, were being framed in increasingly esoteric terms. This talk traces the formation of a number of late-medieval Chinese Buddhist initiation lineages to these esoteric developments. Drawing primarily on excavated manuscript sources dating to the ninth and tenth centuries\, it shows how the bodhisattva precepts conferral ceremony\, the rite of dharma transmission\, and tantric consecration were being combined to create competing Chinese Buddhist lineages of esoteric initiation in a variety of regional and institutional settings.\n\nAmanda Goodman is Assistant Professor in the Department for the Study of Religion and the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto. She specializes in the history of medieval Chinese Buddhism\, particularly the transmission and transformation of tantric Buddhism in China during the formative Tang-Song transition period. She is currently preparing a book-length study titled \"The Vajra Peak Scripture: A Chinese Buddhist Book of Esoteric Initiation and Empowerment Rites from Late Medieval Dunhuang\" that reflects on regional and trans-regional esoteric Buddhist ritual developments during China’s middle period.

The Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum entered the fray as they reframed their legacy of decorative arts collections through the new paradigm of design. The museum took on the legibility of environment as a key problem in the reshaping of its mission and collections—particularly with respect to architecture. In this presentation\, Keslacy explores how the museum resisted the social-scientization of “environment” by highlighting the continuities between architecture and everyday objects\, and the agency of the layperson in shaping and interpreting their milieu.\n\nElizabeth Keslacy is lecturer at the Taubman College and was the 2014-15 A. Bartlett Giamatti Graduate Student Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities.

One of the most promising next-generation computing paradigms is Spintronics\, which uses the spin of the electron to manipulate and store information in the form of magnetic thin films. I will present our optical studies of the fundamental mechanisms by which we can efficiently manipulate magnetization using electrical current. Although electron spin is a quantum-mechanical property\, Spintronics relies on macroscopic magnetization and thus does not take advantage of quantum mechanics in the algorithms used to encode and transmit information. For the second part of my talk\, I will present our work under the umbrella of new computing and communication technologies based on the quantum mechanical properties of photons. Quantum technologies often require the carriers of information\, or qubits\, to have specific properties. Photonic quantum states are good information carriers because they travel fast and are robust to environmental fluctuations\, but characterizing and controlling photonic sources so the photons have just the right properties is still a challenge. I will describe our work towards enabling quantum-physics-based communication and computation using photons.\n UID:42193-9584881@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42193 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170918T082926 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171128T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171128T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Frankel + Kelsey: Jews and Artifacts at the Museum DESCRIPTION:Five Frankel Fellows\, five objects\, five short talks.

University\n\n\nEllen Myers\nFacebook and Indonesian Youth Culture: Identity Performance in the Digital World\n\nIndonesia is a country that has consistently ranked within the top five users of Facebook in the world for several years The culture surrounding social networking is a new concept for the social sciences to tackle. While there are some commonalities throughout the world concerning this topic\, there also exists a unique set of challenges\, benefits\, and implications that are culturally specific. From wall posts to statuses\, the agency that Facebook and other social networking sites allows people to have over what\, when\, and how they perform their identities can provide useful insight into functionalities of online activities within this platform. In the context of the performance of identity in everyday life\, Ellen's lecture will explore her summer research study on young adult Facebook users in Indonesia as a means of examining the various ways in which people are utilizing the growing digital ecology as a platform from which they perform their identities. \n\n\nFabiola Torralba\nMexico Negro: Culture\, Identity and Politics of Afro Mexicanos\n\nThis presentation will highlight some of the cultural workers\, artists and organizers of the Afro Mexican movement in the Costa Chica.

Her research with the Tokushima Indigoes Senior Drum and Bugle Corps (Tokushima\, Japan) and the Jubal Drum and Bugle Corps (Dordrecht\, Holland) allows her to ask the question of how cultural practices and the norms of a particular society influence the creation of relationships among drum and bugle corps members. \n\n\nLaura-Ann Jacobs\nTalking Lei\n\nTalking Lei is a performance-based storytelling installation centered around flowers. The installation features a community of women talking story while creating lei kūpeʻe (wrist lei) in the wili (wrapping) style and includes a gallery of autoethnographic work by LA Jacobs. This project explores the process of lei making as a metaphor for the embodiment of the connectedness of storytelling in physical space.​\n\nSession Two\nDecember 5\, 6-9pm\nCady Room\, Stearns Buidling\n2005 Baits Dr.\n\nKiran Bhumber\n\"Phulkari\"\n\nThis presentation will be on an interactive multimedia performance called Phulkari\, which involves wearable electronic textiles\, dance\, music and visuals. This interdisciplinary project aims to envelop South Asian cultural identity\, tradition\, and memory within the present digital realm. The electronic textile\, Phulkari\, is based on a technique of weaving practiced by women in Punjabi villages -- one that is passed down from mother to daughter and from bride to new village. Inscribed in the practice are processes of cultural change and continuity\, the transmission of memory\, and nostalgia. \n\nAJ Covey\nPerspectives on Teaching and Learning World Music\n\nHow can educators account for the radical shift in cultural context when teaching a foreign musical tradition in the Western conservatory\, and how can students get the most out of learning world music? AJ will draw on his experiences abroad as student and ethnographer in India and Indonesia as well as his time teaching world music as a GSI in the School of Music. Theatre and Dance.\n\nSydney Schiff\nWhat is Brazilian Zouk? \n\nOriginally from Rio de Janeiro\, Brazilian Zouk is a partnered social dance that is practiced in local communities and international congresses all over the world. This summer\, Sydney set out on an exploratory ethnographic research project to identify international influences on the dance movement and culture in Canada and Europe. Unexpectedly\, she learned as much about herself as she did about basic steps\, virtuosic movements\, dance floor etiquette\, and stroopwaffles. \n\nAdam Shead\nThe Present is Present: Amsterdam\n\nAdam Shead will present and live score a thirty minute documentary he has developed in attempt to showcase concepts of cultural memory\, political activism through Improvisation\, the relationship of Improvisation and composition\, and consciousness within the creative Improv community of Amsterdam\, NL.

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.

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.

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.

Hall became the founding director of the Center for Japanese Studies. Just three years earlier\, at the height of the Pacific War\, he was director of something very different: U.S. intelligence operations against Japan. From Kunming\, Hall worked with the Chinese Communist Party to turn captured Japanese soldiers into spies who would infiltrate the Japanese home islands. His office was frequented by a young man named Ho Chi Minh\, who liked to read the Time magazines in the lobby. Ho demanded that Hall recognize his organization\, the Viet Minh\, in its fight against Japan.\n\nMeanwhile\, the Army had turned Ann Arbor into the base of its Japanese language program. In the halls of East Quad\, formerly interned Japanese-Americans were tasked with teaching Japanese to the officers who would oversee the postwar occupation. Every afternoon\, these student-soldiers marched down State Street to commands shouted in Japanese. \n\nA day-long conference\, Spies\, Prisoners\, and Farmers: The Origins of Japanese Studies at Michigan will trace how the twin legacies of Robert B.

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.

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.

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.

Accelerated by gravity to relativistic speeds\, local dark matter scattering against old neutron stars deposits kinetic energy at a rate that heats them to infrared blackbody temperatures. The resulting radiation is detectable by next generation telescopes such as James Webb and the Thirty Meter Telescope. While underground direct detection searches are not (or poorly) sensitive to dark matter with sub-GeV masses\, higher-than-weak-scale masses\, scattering with strong cross-sections\, scattering below neutrino floors\, spin-dependent per-nucleon scattering below per-nuclear cross-sections\, velocity-dependent scattering\, and inelastic scattering for inter-state transitions exceeding O(100 keV)\, the (non-)observation of dark kinetic heating of neutron stars should advance these frontiers by orders of magnitude. Popular dark matter candidates previously suspected elusive\, such as the thermal Higgsino\, may be discovered.

This has led to a stigma around mental health and little meaningful discussion of the significant effects it can have on happiness\, productivity\, and overall health. Recent studies have shown that large fractions of people working at universities are at risk of having ordeveloping mental illness\, and that graduate students are especially susceptible due to the great demands on their time\, high expectations\, and little control over the direction of their work and/or job prospects. In this talk I will present results from some of these studies\, and I will also share my personal journey with mental health struggles. I will conclude with recommendations for what we can do as a community to help break the silence surrounding mental health and make academia a more supportive and inclusive environment. \n\nCo-sponsored by the Department of Astronomy\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nJohanna grew up in Central Pennsylvania\, with a farm field at the end of her street. This meant she was lucky enough to have relatively dark skies\, and found inspiration watching meteor showers ​​in the early morning hours\, although she also enjoyed creek-walking\, writing short stories\, and pretending to be a spy. Johanna got her B.S. degree in Physics in 2008 from American University in Washington\, DC\, and then went to graduate school at the University of Arizona in Tucson\, Arizona\, where she got her Ph.D. in Astronomy in 2014. For the first two years of her Carnegie Origins Postdoctoral Fellowship she lived in Washington\, DC and worked at the Carnegie Department of Terrestrial Magnetism before moving to Pasadena in August 2016 to work at the Carnegie Observatories. In her free time Johanna likes teaching astronomy to others (and learning from them!)\, watching baseball\, and running marathons.

NIF houses 192 beams delivering >1.8 MJ of UV energy and peak powers of 500 TW to a small target (<< cm3). Depositing this energy in a small volume creates extreme radiation environments and large pressures that have been used to create unique conditions for studying matter at high energy densities. High energy density (HED) matter is defined as having pressures > 1\,000\,000 atm. Understanding the behavior of matter at high energy densities is important for our national security\, many astrophysical questions\, and obtaining inertial confinement fusion ignition.

The production of relic neutrinos is within seconds of the inflation and heating processes that imprinted the seeds of future structure formation in the Universe. These early universe relics have cooled under the expansion of the Universe and are sensed indirectly through the action of their diminishing thermal velocities on large-scale structure formation. Experimental advances have opened up new opportunities to directly detect the CNB\, an achievement which would profoundly confront and extend the sensitivity of precision cosmology data. PTOLEMY is a novel method of 2D target surfaces\, fabricated from Graphene\, that has unique directional detection capabilities for MeV dark matter and forms a basis for a future large-scale relic neutrino detector.

Their acclaimed graphic novel trilogy\, March\, recounts Lewis's experiences throughout the Civil Rights Movement. In protest marches from Selma to Montgomery in 1965\, John Lewis and 600 other marchers drew attention to the importance of voting rights for all African Americans. The marchers were brutally attacked by state troopers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma\, Alabama. John Lewis and the marchers did not abandon their cause\, but instead propelled the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.\n\nThis event is co-presented by the International Institute’s Conflict and Peace Initiative\, Department of Psychology\, National Center for Institutional Diversity\, and the Rackham Program in Public Scholarship.

Wagner Memorial Lecture\, presented by Dr. Kazunori Kataoka\, Innovation Center of NanoMedicine\, Kawasaki Institute of Industrial Promotion\, and Policy Alternatives Research Institute\, The University of Tokyo.\n\nNanotechnology-based medicine (Nanomedicine) has received progressive interest for the treatment of intractable diseases\, such as cancer\, as well as for the non-invasive diagnosis through various imaging modalities. Engineered polymeric nanosystems with smart functions play a key role in nanomedicine as drug carriers\, gene vectors\, and imaging probes. This presentation focuses present status and future trends of self-assembled nanosystems from block copolymers for the therapy and the non-invasive diagnosis of intractable diseases. Nanosystems with 10 to 100 nm in size can be prepared by programmed self-assembly of block copolymers in aqueous entity. Most typical example is polymeric micelles (PMs) with distinctive core-shell architecture. Compared with conventional formulations\, such as liposomes\, PMs have several advantages\, including controlled drug release\, tissue penetrating ability and reduced toxicity [1\,2]. Notable anti-tumor efficacy against intractable and metastatic cancer\, including pancreatic cancer [3]\, glioblastoma [4\,5]\, and cancer stem cells [6]\, of antitumor drug incorporated PMs with pH- and/or redox potential responding properties was demonstrated\, emphasizing their promising utility in cancer treatment. Versatility in drug incorporation is another feasibility of PMs. Loading of imaging reagents makes PMs with theranostic functions [7].\n\nThese results demonstrate the promising features of PMs as platform nanosystems for molecular therapy of various intractable diseases. Very recently\, we developed PMs decorated with glucose to crossing blood-brain barrier by recognizing glucose-transporter overexpressing on brain endothelial cells\, opening new avenue to deliver versatile drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases\, including Alzheimer’s disease [8].\n\nReferences\n[1] H.

In my introduction I equivocate much about “best\,” substituting\, “influential\,” “historical\,” “representative.” In the end\, all that can be said with any certainty is that the list is chronological. In Jill Neate’s preface to Mountaineering Literature she observes\, “A practicable definition of ‘mountaineering book’ continues to eludes me.” In this talk and conversation I will revisit that list\, its methodology (such as it was)\, speculate about what books written since then would be likely candidates and discuss how different these choices might be for me if the list were “personal” rather than “public.” \n\nDavid Stevenson has been the book review editor of the American Alpine Journal since 1995. His fiction collection\, Letters from Chamonix\, won the Banff Mountain Book Award for Fiction and Poetry in 2014. His collected mountaineering essays\, Warnings Against Myself: Meditations on a Life in Climbing was published in 2016 by the University of Washington Press. He received the H. Adams Carter Literary Award from the American Alpine Club in 2017. He holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of Utah and works as a professor of English at the University of Alaska Anchorage where he directs the MFA program in creative writing. His home range is the Chugach.

This year\, the program will be taught by Steven Wright\, professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.\n\nTo study our intrinsically connected and interdependent food\, energy\, and water (FEW) systems\, one must understand how these systems form an indispensable nexus for human life. Among other benefits\, an understanding of this nexus will help us mitigate and adapt to the challenges of global climate change. Costa Rica\, a leader in sustainable development\, offers many opportunities for hands-on experiences with the FEW nexus\, including a rich combination of learning environments\, working farms\, and laboratories.\n\nThe program is ideal for engineering\, environmental science\, and natural science majors\, however all are encouraged to participate. Students with an interest in system dynamics\, environmental issues\, climate change adaptation\, and other sustainability subjects should apply. While the program has a more technical focus\, discussions will include policy aspects related to environmental management and sustainable development.

It was numerically observed years ago that a good predictor of a team's won-loss percentage is RS^2 / (RS^2 + RA^2)\, though no one knew WHY the formula worked. We review elementary concepts of probability and statistics and discuss how one can build and solve a model for this problem. In the course of investigating this problem we discuss how one attacks problems like this in general (what are the features of a good model\, how to solve it\, and so on).

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.

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.

Zahn\, PhD\nAssociate Professor\nDepartment of Biomedical Engineering\nRutgers\, The State of University of New Jersey\n \n“Microfabricated Medical Devices for Diagnostics and Advanced Biological and Cellular Manipulations”\n\n\nABSTRACT: The focus of research conducted in the Zahn laboratory is the design and fabrication of microfabricated devices for clinical diagnosis\, treatment of disease and supportive culture devices. Batch fabricated microfluidic platforms that can mimic or improve upon conventional sample preparation techniques performed in laboratories hold great potential to enable both research and healthcare advances. These miniaturized diagnostic devices have been termed micro total analysis systems (μTAS) or biochips and combine sensing mechanisms (physical\, optical\, electrical or chemical) with microfluidics.\n\nDr. Zahn’s research combines analytical and numerical modeling of microscale phenomena with device design\, fabrication\, and testing of BioMEMS components in an adaptive and iterative process for device optimization. Several projects currently underway in the Zahn laboratory which will be discussed including:\n\n1) the development of a ‘smart’ electroporator with continuous cell impedance monitoring that automatically detects\, electroporates\, and monitors individual cells for changes in permeability and delivery\, dynamically modulating the pulse to prevent damaging over‐exposure that kills cells and useless underexposure that does not permeabilze a cell.\n\nand\n\n2) the development of a multicompartment tissue culture platform to recapitulate in vitro neurocircuitry models using human neuronal cells derived from induced pluripotent stem (IPS) cells. This culture system was designed to allow modeling the neuronal circuitry of the mesolimbic reward system by segregating excitatory (GLUT)\, inhibitory (GABA) and dopaminergic (DA) induced neuron cell bodies while maintaining axonal communication and synapse formation from one chamber into another through communicative microchannels. Several novel features of this system are: an open well design to perform patch clamp electrophysiology within the device\, the use of optogenetics for selective cell stimulation\, and the integration of human derived induced neurons (iNs).

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.

He is the \nauthor of Revolutionizing Repertoires: The Rise of Populist Mobilization in Peru (University of Chicago Press) and has published various articles on Latin American politics in academic journals. After receiving his Ph.D. in sociology from UCLA\, he spent three years as a junior fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows. He is currently an assistant professor at the University of Michigan. \n\nRecent political events in the U.S. and Europe have brought renewed \nattention to the problem of populism. But what exactly are we talking about when we talk about populism? And what do we know about its social and political causes and consequences? This lecture provides some provisional answers to these difficult questions by considering various moments in the political history of Latin America—a region that has long been susceptible to populist mobilization and claims-making. \n\nThis is the fourth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Populism: The Common People in Modern Politics. The next lecture series will start January 11\, 2018. The title is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us.

Drawing inspiration from the disparate realities of growing up white in 1970s Johannesburg during some of the most tumultuous decades of South African apartheid\, Mahoney is deeply influenced by her childhood experiences.\n\nIn Tainted\, her 2017 exhibition\, Mahoney explores emotional and physical states of struggle through convoys of toy-like sculptures. These childlike figures — referred to by the artist as “an army of toy soldiers” — offer an inspired view into this world of collaged fantasy\, with themes centered on her own observations of gender\, landscape\, aspiration\, and oppression. “I portray emotional states like resilience and braveness in the face of adversity\, and see my child soldiers as standing steadfast and strong…Their role is to bring on a sense of one’s ability to move forward through extreme situations.” Julian McGowan of the Southern Guild Gallery aptly describes it as “Malice in Wonderland.” Mahoney is a graduate of Technikon Witwatersrand (’91).\n\nSupported by the University of Michigan Museum of Art.\n\nAll Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series presentations are free and open to the public\; visit http://stamps.umich.edu/stamps to view upcoming events.

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.

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.

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.

The financial reverses of the 1990s and subsequent decades helped lead to the weakening of the tea schools\, the constriction of museum purchasing and the closure of some institutions. Simultaneous cultural trends have moved away from traditional art forms to new media including a shift from “art” to “design”\, from “painting” to “illustration”\, that is matched by westernization of domestic architecture and diminishing interest in cultural history that have eroded the appreciation and evaluation of traditional arts in an unprecedented manner.\n\nAfter having taught for some years at the University of Michigan and the University of Washington\, Prof. Berry has been doing research and teaching in Japan since the late 1990s. For the last several years he has been a researcher on a Japanese government Kaken research grant involving the redefinition of sensoga and a Mellon Curator-at-Large for the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

She is an interdisciplinary scholar\, trained as a social demographer and social epidemiologist. She has devoted her career to the explication of the ways in which structural foundations are embodied in racial health inequalities by linking sophisticated contextual and survey-based exposure measures to biologically-plausible markers and mechanisms of health. Under her research program umbrella\, she maintains a number of interrelated research projects. For example\, she is a leading scholar at the novel intersection of social stress and vulnerability to environmental toxicants with her research providing evidence to support the concept that racial health inequalities can be largely explained by exposures to both of these social and environmental hazards. She has begun to examine these exposures simultaneously with respect to molecular changes that underlie numerous chronic health conditions. She is also currently using her five-year K01 career development award from the National Institutes of Health to develop her expertise in statistical and population genetics to examine the notion that racial residential segregation\, rather than genetic predisposition\, is a necessary component to racial inequalities in chronic kidney disease. She has published her work in the top journals in environmental epidemiology and toxicology\, epidemiology\, health policy\, and public health. She has also presented her research to members of the Congressional Black Congress in order to inform policy changes. Today\, she will be presenting some of her work from a their area of her research in which she examines the burden of cultural racism on racial health inequalities.

A corollary to the more well-known method of pragmatism\, radical empiricism has received less attention\, despite being a major concern for James in his later years. Not against but in relation to the obvious reasons why radical empiricism emerges in the history of western philosophy\, my gambit is that there are precedents within American religious culture from the antebellum revivals to the postbellum Social Gospel movement that generate the intellectual conditions calling for the radicalization of classical empiricism. This chapter deals specifically with Edwards's place within the so-called first great awakening of the 1730s-40s and his revision of empiricism to explain religious experiences. This examination of the theological underpinnings of American revivalism is the first step in a larger intellectual history about the religious \"origins\" of pragmatism.\n\nPlease Contact Rachel Cawkwell at rcawkwe@umich.edu for a copy of the paper.

Here\, reliability refers to the ability to quantify and control the two sources of error in numerical predictions: the model error that arises from mathematical modeling of the true physics\; the discretization error that arises from numerical approximation of the mathematical model. Autonomy refers to the ability to complete the analysis with minimal user intervention.\n\nIn the first part\, we focus on single- or few-query scenarios and develop an adaptive finite element solver for conservation laws with emphasis on aerodynamic flows. The solver consists of three key ingredients: a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method\; an output error estimate\; and a mesh optimization strategy. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the strategy for aerodynamic flows.\n\nIn the second part\, we focus on many-query and real-time scenarios and develop model reduction strategies for rapid and reliable solution of parametrized PDEs. We in particular address model reduction challenges associated with reliable and efficient treatment of problems that exhibit a wide range of scales and strong nonlinearities. We demonstrate the method for parametrized problems in solid and fluid mechanics.\n\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nMasayuki Yano is an assistant professor at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS). His research focuses on the development of computational methods for problems in aerospace sciences and engineering. Specifically\, his research interests lie in numerical methods\, scientific computation\, and numerical analysis for partial differential equations (PDEs) with applications in aerodynamics\, continuum mechanics\, acoustics\, and transport.\n\nHe obtained his PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT in 2012\, working on adaptive high-order methods for aerodynamic flows. He was then a post-doctoral associated at MIT\, working on model reduction and data assimilation techniques for parametrized PDEs. He joined UITAS in 2015.

Identifying and tracking the spread of beneficial mutations has been empowered by contemporary genomics\, and has allowed us to find commonalities among beneficial mutations in many evolving bacterial systems. Our study of biofilms has been aided by a simple model enabling long-term evolution in a biofilm life cycle. Focusing on bacteria of the Burkholderia cepacia complex and Pseudomonas aeruginosa\, we find this model surprisingly selects for mutations in genes that commonly mutate during chronic infections of the cystic fibrosis airway and in wounds. This system also selects for persistent genetic diversity that reflect adaptations to different biofilm niches. More recently\, we have been studying more rapid evolution of bacteria exposed to stronger selection like antibiotics or specific host association\, often in vivo. In these conditions\, we find strongly parallel mutations that show functional details of the traits that underlie adaptation. Further\, growing cases of strong parallelism raise the probability that evolution may be predictable and useful to solve problems in medicine like drug resistance. Last and most important\, we have used the simplicity of our biofilm model to develop a curriculum in high school classes to allow introductory biology students to learn key concepts in evolution and heredity by doing an evolution experiment. Both this curriculum and clear examples of evolution-in-action during infections offer the promise of broader appreciation of the utility of evolutionary biology.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/l7JHJ5eZLfM UID:42931-9685656@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42931 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171116T113848 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171130T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171130T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: The Historian's Task in the Anthropocene: Theory and Practice DESCRIPTION:Climate denialism comes in many forms. Most historians understand that the planet faces severe environmental challenges\, yet few incorporate this new reality into their work or consider its impact on history as a discipline. In this talk\, Julia Adeney Thomas explains why some scientists find “the Anthropocene” a compelling concept and explores the challenges posed by earth systems science to the discipline\, particularly history’s political function. Finally\, using an example from Japan\, she proposes a new form of critical history as we move from modernity’s promise of freedom and development to the more modest goal of sustainability with decency. \n\nJulia Adeney Thomas has written extensively about concepts of nature in political ideology\, the challenge posed by climate change to the discipline of history\, and photography as a political practice in Japan and globally. She is the recipient of the AHA’s John K. Fairbank Prize for Reconfiguring Modernity: Concepts of Nature in Japanese Political Ideology and of the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians' Best Article of the Year Award for “Photography\, National Identity\, and the 'Cataract of Times:' Wartime Images and the Case of Japan” from the American Historical Review. Two collaborative books: Japan at Nature’s Edge: The Environmental Context of a Global Power (with Ian J. Miller and Brett L. Walker) and Rethinking Historical Distance (with Mark Salber Phillips and Barbara Caine) have forwarded her interest in theory\, history\, and the environment. Currently\, she is completing The Historian's Task in the Anthropocene as well as co-editing a collection on Visualizing Fascism: The Rise of the Global Right. Educated at Princeton\, Oxford\, and Chicago\, she taught at the University of Illinois-Chicago and at the University of Wisconsin–Madison before joining Notre Dame’s history department.\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.

Entangled Histories of Translation: German Ottoman Literary Relations across the 19th Century DESCRIPTION:Large-scale translation movements were central to the discursive production of both German and Turkish national-cultural identities prior to the establishment of a nation state\, yet intersections between these two traditions remain largely underresearched. Due to both a dominant French influence in the late Ottoman literary sphere and the incompatibility of Ottoman with the dominant paradigms of German Orientalistik\, literary translations between German and Ottoman have been treated as either insignificant or exceptional. This talk argues on the contrary\, that instances of German Ottoman translational contact in the 19th century attest to complex interconnections that cut across time periods and traditions. \n \nA case study will be presented showing how the multiple\, late Ottoman translations of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s \"The Sorrows of Young Werther\" (1886-1894\, novel first published in 1774) enact a debate in practice regarding 19th-century Ottoman modernization discourse\; widely differing translational decisions reveal the agency of Ottoman translators and place the authenticity of Goethe’s “western” source text into question. In turn\, Goethe’s incorporation of Ottoman texts into his \"West-östlicher Divan\" (1819) earlier in the century counters a late Ottoman devaluation of its own tradition of Divan poetry\, and engages in diverse translation practices that undermine the concept of fidelity as an ultimate goal. \n \nMarked by omnidirectional processes of transcultural exchange\, these diverse translations complicate the contrapositions of self-identity and alterity\, original and translation. In a century when distinct understandings of German- and Turkishness were beginning to emerge—in part via translations from diverse other national literatures—individual translations between Ottoman and German pose a challenge to the ethnocentric structure of national cultures\, and an easy division between East/West or Ottoman/German.\n\nKristin Dickinson’s research on contemporary German and Turkish literature examines the potential of translation\, as both a formal and a social medium\, to intervene in nationalist language ideologies and nationally structured areas of study. Her teaching and publications have focused on questions of world literature\, translation theory in practice\, cross-linguistic remembrance\, linguistic purity\, and critical monolingualism. Her current book project\, \"Translation and the Experience of Modernity: A History of German Turkish Connectivity\,\" traces the development of a German Turkish translational relationship from the early 19th century to the present. Her additional projects examine performances of translation at the 2008 Frankfurt Book Fair\, “Turkey in All Its Colors\;” the transnational significance of the early Turkish Republican author Sabahattin Ali\; and the cartographies of non-arrival\, disruption\, and deferral in the works of Franz Kafka and Bilge Karasu.

DESCRIPTION:Large and regular seasonal price fluctuations in local grain markets appear to offer African farmers substantial inter-temporal arbitrage opportunities\, but these opportunities remain largely unexploited: small-scale farmers are commonly observed to \"sell low and buy high\" rather than the reverse. In a field experiment in Kenya\, we show that credit market imperfections limit farmers' abilities to move grain inter-temporally. Providing timely access to credit allows farmers to purchase at lower prices and sell at higher prices\, increasing farm profits and generating a return on investment of 28%. To understand general equilibrium effects of these changes in behavior\, we vary the density of loan offers across locations. We document significant effects of the credit intervention on seasonal price fluctuations in local grain markets\, and show that these GE effects greatly affect our individual level profitability estimates. We also find suggestive evidence that these GE effects generate benefits for program non-recipients\, benefits which are unlikely to be recouped by a financial institution and suggest a potential role for public intervention. In contrast to existing experimental work\, our results thus indicate a setting in which microcredit can improve firm profitability\, and suggest that GE effects can substantially shape estimates of microcredit's effectiveness. Failure to consider these GE effects could lead to substantial misestimation of the social welfare benefits of microcredit interventions.

We have prepared and characterized the penta- and hexagermanes Pri3Ge(GePh2)nGePri3 (n = 3 or 4)\, where the hexagermane is the longest structurally characterized linear oligogermane reported to date. Initial studies indicated that these molecules were luminescent in solution\, and we have now investigated its photophysical properties of Pri3Ge(GePh2)4GePri3 in the solid state. The hexagermane exhibits temperature dependent absorbance and emission spectra\, where vibrational fine structure is observed below 240 K. In addition\, a blue emission in the visible region is observed upon excitation at 300 nm at 80 K. The synthesis of the two oligogermanes Pri3Ge(GePh2)nGePri3 (n = 3 or 4) and the nature of its absorbance and emission properties will be discussed in conjunction with DFT investigations. The structure/property relationships of other oligogermanes\, including the branched systems (Ph3Ge)3GeX (X = H\, F\, Cl\, Br\, I\, Ph\, or GePh3)\, will also be discussed. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nScott Weinert (Oklahoma State University) UID:45521-10200819@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/45521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170907T094905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171130T161500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171130T164500 SUMMARY:Meeting:Mindfulness@Umich (All UofM Students) DESCRIPTION:Invite a sense of calm and ease into your busy day by creating space to breathe.

It takes as its starting point the Cronica of Salimbene of Adam\, a neglected source of musical commentary on questions central to fourteenth-century ontologies of music: about the status of the voice as a natural instrument\; the reliability of sense perception\; and the shadowy affinities between music and language. Salimbene’s vivid\, often macabre anecdotes about music’s material and formal properties echo in Dante’s poetics and in the music theory of Marchetto da Padova. I then turn to the compositional practices of trecento composers\, to show how the earliest generation of Italian polyphonists imported these concerns into aspects of compositional design in ways that foreground closure as a defining potential of form. The form and forming of sound in the Middle Ages were inevitable correlates to considerations of sound as matter. In making this claim\, I mean to contribute to a growing recognition of the links between modern critical practices (here sound studies\, the history of the senses) and the intellectual history of the Middle Ages.

The Role of International Development and Entrepreneurship in US Foreign Policy in Latin America DESCRIPTION:As individual areas of concentration\, entrepreneurship\, US foreign policy\, international development\, and Latin America can each consume the interest\, time\, and energy of those who study them. This discussion introduces the nexus of all of these elements and outline some basic facts\, assumptions\, and perspectives. LTC Singleton will discuss three important overviews of US Foreign Policy in Latin America\, US Foreign Trade Policy\, and the UN approach to international development. In this context\, we will look at how these three policies impact entrepreneurs attempting to establish themselves in Latin America\, highlighting the opportunities and obstacles that they will most likely encounter. A comparative analysis of the sugar production industry in Latin America and the consumption markets in the US and Europe will also be discussed. \n \nSpeaker Bio: Prior to his current service in Belize\, Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Singleton served as the U.S. Army Attaché to Bolivia from 2015 to 2017\, Acting Defense Attaché to Jamaica in 2016\, and Operations Officer and Army Section Chief for the Security Cooperation Office of the US Embassy in Port-au-Prince\, Haiti from 2013 to 2015. He also served in many command and staff positions in the United States\, the Middle East\, and Latin America\, including combat operations in the Global War on Terrorism. After multiple combat tours\, he transitioned to a career as a multilingual US Army Foreign Area Officer. Both the Departments of State and Defense have recognized LTC Singleton’s work in combat and foreign relations. These include four Bronze Star Medals for heroic service in combat\, a Defense Meritorious Service Medal for interagency service overseas\, an Army Commendation Medal with “V” device for valor in combat\, and the Department of State’s Meritorious Honor Award.\n\nLTC Eldridge R.

Drawing inspiration from the disparate realities of growing up white in 1970s Johannesburg during some of the most tumultuous decades of South African apartheid\, Mahoney is deeply influenced by her childhood experiences.\nIn Tainted\, her 2017 exhibition\, Mahoney explores emotional and physical states of struggle through convoys of toy-like sculptures. These childlike figures — referred to by the artist as “an army of toy soldiers” — offer an inspired view into this world of collaged fantasy\, with themes centered on her own observations of gender\, landscape\, aspiration\, and oppression. “I portray emotional states like resilience and braveness in the face of adversity\, and see my child soldiers as standing steadfast and strong…Their role is to bring on a sense of one’s ability to move forward through extreme situations.” Julian McGowan of the Southern Guild Gallery aptly describes it as “Malice in Wonderland.” Mahoney is a graduate of Technikon Witwatersrand (’91).\n\nSupported by the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

The Long-Term Impact of Religious Institutions on Development DESCRIPTION:How do religious institutions affect development? While religious institutions are frequently depicted and studied as part of history\, their long-run role in affecting politics and economy today remains uncharacteristically understudied in the scholarship. Religious institutions around the world have historically commanded political and economic resources. Outside of the limited scholarship on the Church however\, religious institutions are little understood for their political and economic impact. I will address this question by researching if and why the Sufi Khanaqah affects long-term development. Development being indicated by contemporary public goods and inequality—the two dependent variables. District is the unit of analysis at which Khanaqahs and development will be analyzed. To identify the mechanism and estimate the effect more comprehensively\, I will also examine the effect of covariates measuring Khanaqah patronage and trade routes. The study will constitute districts of India and Pakistan between 1858-2011.
