He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

To become digital is to exist in a digital world. It is an ontological state that tacitly recognizes pervasive technology\, computational logic\, and digital aesthetics as the background condition to everyday life. To become digital is to be situated in a context where everything from screen to stone exists as data and matter\, where habits of mind forged within the digital environment are constantly transferred to the analog world. For architecture\, this has signaled a profound paradigm shift that is largely complete and yet conspicuously unaccounted. Digital technology entered architectural discourse in a wave of futurist prognostication\, heady formalist trajectories\, and overt avant-garde agendas. Positivist rationales and a fervent belief in the intrinsic merits of technological progress reigned among the varied proponents of early digital architecture\, alongside an embrace of the capacities of computation to address cultural and organizational complexity. In these early years\, the digital was foregrounded as both topic and technique. In contrast\, contemporary architectural practice engages the digital as ubiquitous and foundational. Today the digital is ambient\, environmental. It is a dull hum that emanates from every corner of our increasingly constructed world\, constituting the material\, conceptual\, and experiential context of any architectural project.\n\nReflecting on the status of the digital in contemporary architecture demands renewed critical attention towards the ways architects work and the products of our labor. Today\, our discipline’s waning fascination with digitally-enabled complexity and progress is being replaced with a sometimes blasé embrace of expedient digital tools from the Google image search to Rhino’s “Make 2D” command. Screenshot aesthetics and deadpan digital representations abound\, delivering a glancing wink to those in the know\, and constituting a new internal discourse for contemporary designers based on the expedient circulation of digital images. But as tendencies within our discipline assume the temporality of the meme\, the facile nature with which they are adopted often belies the significance of their appearance. Today\, digital technology doesn’t simply enable architects to represent the “real\,” it is intricately intertwined with the real itself. Our methods of design are evermore connected on a computational level to our methods of dissemination\, communication\, and social networking\, and indeed to those of our culture at large. This nascent condition presents new possibilities for architectural speculation\, representation\, and for our discipline’s potential impact in an increasingly digital world.\n\nBecoming Digital is a yearlong project that seeks to unpack our contemporary digital moment. Over the course of the year\, Taubman College faculty and students\, along with invited guests\, will design\, debate\, and reflect upon the current state of the digital in architecture. In the Fall semester\, three architecture offices\, all critically engaging digital technology through their practice\, will lead workshops with students and engage in public conversations around the project’s theme. The Winter semester will include an exhibition of student work\, a conference\, and a series of presentations by Taubman College faculty. All events will attempt to grapple with computation as the pervasive context in which we live and work\, and through that deeper understanding to reveal a capacity to influence ubiquitous digitality through design.\n\nConference Schedule\nThursday\, January 25 \n5:10pm Lecture: Hito Steyerl\nIn partnership with the Penny Stamps Speaker Series\n(Michigan Theatre\, 603 E.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47322-10866214@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 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. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Following the social and political unrest of the 1960’s Lake emigrated to Montreal in 1968\, where she was among the first female artists in the nation to adopt performance\, video\, and photography to explore the politics of gender\, the body\, and identity. In this exhibition\, Lake returns to her childhood neighborhood and various locations central to her family history to explore the cycles of urban development and decay in working class Detroit\, as well as her experience with ageism.\n\nExhibition Dates: January 19 - February 25\nHours: Open during exhibitions Tuesday through Sunday\, 11:00 am - 5:00 pm\; Thursday and Friday\, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

Power in the Margins of Madurese Society: Salabadhan (or Sandur Madura) as a Nexus of Performing Arts Patronage\, Political Clientelism\, and Socio-Religious Transgression DESCRIPTION:Steve Laronga is a gamelan ensemble director.\n\nContrary to its pious-sounding name\, the Madurese performance tradition of salabâdhân (from Arabic-derived Madurese salabât\, “supplication to God”) is known in its primary territory of Madura and mainland East Java as an arena for religious and social transgression. The focus of attention in contemporary performances is a nightlong process by which individual invited guests are formally called to give a substantial monetary gift to the host and to dance briefly to the accompaniment of a small but distinctively noisy gamelan ensemble. Both hosts and guests belong to a highly visible\, politically powerful network of local “big men” or “tough guys” (known as blâtèr) from across the region—the sole patrons of this tradition. \n\nFrom the perspectives of neighbors and other uninvited spectators\, salabâdhân likely appears as a highly visible spectacle of high rolling men mixing it up with transvestite singer-dancers\, flashing large sums of money\, drinking\, gambling\, and performing acts suggestive of their capacity for violence. It appears\, in short\, as a celebration of masculine largesse and impunity to everyday social rules--an entertaining show of force by the dangerous men who sponsor it. \n\nThis presentation draws a close correlation between formal aspects of contemporary salabâdhân performance and its social and political significance\, a symmetry which\, I suggest\, emerges directly from the influence that the patrons of this tradition have exerted on its historical development. Following upon the work of Abdur Rozaki (2004\, 2017)\, I illustrate the contemporary political centrality of its patrons through the example of notorious former elected head (from 2003-2013) of the western Madurese district of Bangkalan\, Ra Fuad Amin—now in prison for corruption—who joined the salabâdhân network as a means to assume an unprecedented position of simultaneous dominance in all of the district’s three\, usually oppositional\, major power player factions: the blâter\, the Islamic religious elite\, and the formal political bureacracy. \n\nAlthough salabâdhân and its patrons present an especially spectacular example of the political instrumentalization of “tradition” on both symbolic and more directly coercive levels\, I suggest that we might consider it as an exemplary case rather than an extraordinary one. I conclude by asking what we might be able to say about the historical development and present forms of other performing arts in Madura and Java—and even in distant other corners of the world—by paying closer attention to the social obligations and motivations of its sponsors.

Tight controls and a focus on reaching pre-set measurable targets often prevent front-line workers from using skill\, local knowledge\, and creativity to solve problems in ways that maximize the impact of foreign aid. Drawing on a novel database of over 14\,000 discrete development projects across nine aid agencies and eight paired case studies of development projects\, I conclude that aid agencies will often benefit from giving field agents the authority to use their own judgments to guide aid delivery. This “Navigation by Judgment” is particularly valuable when environments are unpredictable and when accomplishing an aid program’s goals is hard to accurately measure. Accomplishing results and accounting for results are sometimes in tension\; focusing agents on meeting metrics sometimes undermines performance.

Mavrides\, a long-time resident of San Francisco’s Mission district\, will discuss his peripatetic comics\, graphics\, paintings\, and artworks that expose\, explore\, and exploit the cultural oddities\, conspiratorial mysteries and all-too-human fiascos of contemporary society.\n\nMavrides is a member of the ZAP Comix group\, as well as a founding associate of J.R. “Bob” Dobbs’ SubGenius Foundation. His many collaborators have included Gilbert Shelton\, Robert Crumb\, Harvey Pekar\, film directors Alex Cox and Ron Mann\, Survival Research Laboratories and The Residents\, among others.\n\nMavrides is a Witt Visiting Artist at the Stamps School of Art & Design January 31 - February 3\, 2018. This event is co-sponsored by the Transnational Comics Studies Workshop.\n\nBiography\n\nPaul Mavrides is a San Francisco-based cartoonist and painter. His work has been published in various comics anthologies\, including Z​AP​​\, Young Lust\, Anarchy Comics\,​ ​and Real War Stories\, and he collaborated with underground cartoonist Gilbert Shelton on The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers in the ‘70s and ‘80s. He also illustrated several Harvey Pekar stories for American Splendor. ​His comics have also appeared in The Village Voice\, The New Yorker\,​ The San Francisco Chronicle\, ​Heavy Metal Magazine\, and many more.​ He’s collaborated on projects with Spain Rodriguez\, Robert Crumb\, S. Clay Wilson\, director Alex Cox (Repo Man)\, and many other artists.\n\nHe was active in the San Francisco punk scene\, contributing to RE/Search Publications (SEARCH AND DESTROY\, RE/Search Magazine\, and many other titles)\, and collaborating with Survival Research Laboratories.\n\n​Notably\, Paul was one of the founding members of “The Church of the Sub-Genius\,” and created much of the artwork associated with the organization. A film about the church is in now in production.\n\nIn 19​96​\, ​after a 5-year battle\, ​Mavrides successfully won a court ruling that banned the state of California from levying a sales tax on comic strips and comic books. Following the ruling\, Mavrides said\, “It’s gratifying that\, after five years of struggle\, the State of California\, through the decision of the Board of Equalization\, has officially and rightfully recognized that what cartoonists and comic creators trade in are ideas\, not pieces of paper.” ​ ​ He subsequently was awarded the ​J​ames Madison Freedom of Information Award by the Society of Professional Journalists and the Defender of Liberty Award from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund​.\n\nHe was involved in the production of several films\, including Ron Mann’s Comic Book Confidential.\n\n​He has given lectures at the ​San Francisco Art Institute\, ​ University of California Berkeley\, ​ Stanford University\, ​ The Art Academy of San Francisco\, and many others.​ UID:48787-11308871@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48787 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Discussion,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180124T132346 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180202T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180202T140000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Poverty Solutions Open House DESCRIPTION:Please Join Us!\n\nThe Education Policy Initiative\, Poverty Solutions at the University of Michigan\, and Youth Policy Lab cordially invite students across campus to an open house to learn more about our work\, meet the staff\, and get involved. \n\nRefreshments will be served.

Prof. Krzysztof J. Fidkowski\n\nAs numerical simulations are applied to more complex and large-scale problems\, solution verification becomes increasingly important in ensuring the accuracy of the computed results. Although improvements in computer hardware have brought expensive simulations within reach\, efficiency is still paramount\, especially in the context of design optimization and uncertainty quantification. This thesis addresses both of these needs through contributions to solution-based adaptive algorithms\, in which the discretization is modified through a feedback of solution error estimates so as to improve the accuracy. In particular\, new methods are developed for two discretizations relevant to Computational Fluid Dynamics: the Active Flux method and the discontinuous Galerkin method. For the Active Flux method\, which is a fully-discrete third-order discretization\, both the discrete and continuous adjoint methods are derived and used to drive mesh (h) refinement and dynamic node movement\, also known as “r” adaptation. For the discontinuous Galerkin method\, which is an arbitrary-order finite-element discretization\, efficiency improvements are presented for computing and using error estimates derived from the discrete adjoint\, and a new “r” adaptation strategy is presented for unsteady problems. For both discretizations\, error estimate efficacy and adaptive efficiency improvements are shown relative to other strategies.\n\nPublications\n\nKaihua Ding\, Krzysztof J. Fidkowski\, and Philip L.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297777@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180125T122332 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180202T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180202T153000 SUMMARY:Presentation:CCN Developmental Talks DESCRIPTION:.

Washington Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109-1275\n\nThis presentation is part of the Winter Colloquium of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures.\nA pre-circulated paper in English is available upon request.\n\n\nMatthew Handelman will share new work on Gershom Scholem\, preeminent scholar of Jewish mysticism with widespread impact on twentieth-century Zionism\, culture\, and thought. Handelman will highlight the importance of mathematical concepts for understanding Scholem's ideas of aesthetics and negativity and their relationship to critical theorists such as Franz Rosenzweig and Siegfried Kracauer.\n\nMatthew Handelman is an Assistant Professor of German and a member of the Core Faculty in the Digital Humanities at Michigan State University. His research interests include German-Jewish literature and philosophy in the early twentieth century\, the intersections of science\, mathematics and culture in German-speaking countries\, as well as the digital humanities and the history of technology. Matthew has published on these topics in international journals such as The Germanic Review\, Scientia Poetica and The Leo Baeck Yearbook. He is currently finishing a manuscript called Negative Mathematics: German Jewish Intellectuals and the Origins of Critical Theory. It explores the underdeveloped possibilities of mathematics in critical theory\, focusing on Gershom Scholem\, Franz Rosenzweig\, and Siegfried Kracauer. A second book project\, which explores the relationship between necessity and narration in scientific and aesthetic thought after 1800\, is also in the works.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, \nplease contact Germanic Languages & Literatures at 734-764-8018 or germandept@umich.edu.

The supertube is a brane bound state that has been proposed as a paradigm for how string theory resolves black hole horizon structure. This talk will describe how the worldsheet dynamics of strings can be solved exactly in a wide variety of supertube backgrounds\, opening up the study of stringy effects in states near the black hole transition.

But what is a refutation? And why do philosophers feel impelled to produce them? With reference to the first question\, I produce a definition of refutation: a refutation disproves one proposition in order to discredit another. With reference to the second question\, I argue that the refuter’s activity to undermine her interlocutor's account solves a problem facing the project of knowledge-acquisition. This problem was articulated by William James: the project of coming to believe truths is in tension with the project of avoiding belief in falsehoods. The first motivates one to embrace dogmatism\, the second to retreat to skepticism. The practice of refutation solves James’ problem by way of a division of labor.

Low-temperature thermochronology from this region\, which was also the site of the 2016 Mw7.8 Kaikoura earthquake\, places new limits on the timing and style of mountain building and the relationship between the mountains and adjacent faults. We sampled rocks for (U-Th/He) and fission track dating from a range of elevations spanning ~2 km within the Kaikoura Mountains\, which stand high above active strike-slip faults. The data reveal two phases of exhumation: Miocene cooling localized to hanging wall rocks followed by regional and rapid cooling reflected in all samples starting at ~4-5 Ma. These results suggest that\, despite the presence of active mountain front faults\, much of the topographic relief in this region predates the onset of strike-slip faulting when portions of the Marlborough Faults were thrust faults during the early development of the transpressive plate boundary. After 5 Ma\, the main Marlborough faults transitioned to accommodating primarily strike-slip motion\, and regional exhumation likely reflected increased proximity to the migrating Pacific plate subduction zone and the buoyant Chatham Rise. The 2016 earthquake\, which lifted and/or laterally shifted the surface along multiple subsidiary Marlborough fault strands\, both onshore and off\, fits well with evidence from the long-term record of a broad\, complex and evolving oblique collision zone.

Asher Ghertner is an associate professor in the Department of Geography and director of the South Asian Studies Program at Rutgers University. His current research project\, “Bad Air: The Cultural Politics of Breathing in ‘the World’s Most Air-Polluted City’\,” builds on ethnographic\, legal\, and archival research to examine how templates of segregation are being remapped onto the three-dimensional space of the atmosphere\, and how class- and caste-based exclusions are being reimagined in the wake of the WHO's declaration that Delhi’s air the worst in the world. His first book\, Rule by Aesthetics: World-Class City Making in Delhi (Oxford University Press\, 2015)\, was an ethnography of mass slum demolition\, charting the rise of a mode of governing space premised on urban aesthetics.

For example\, in non-concatenative morphological systems\, such as Arabic\, the root has figured prominently as a primitive unit of derivation that provides a mechanism to account for lexical relations that resist accounts in terms of the familiar patterns of morphological concatenation through prefixation or suffixation to a base. In syntax\, recent accounts have invoked the notion of root\, mostly on conceptual grounds\, to account\, for example\, for the constructional meaning of sentences and the interplay between functional categories and lexical categories. In this talk\, I take up the question of the role of the root in syntax and whether there are empirically principled restrictions on access to it. I will present empirical arguments to show that such principled restrictions can be motivated and that they are consistent with recent developments in syntactic theory\, and particularly the relation between the syntactic component and the morpho-phonological interface.

Extensive studies on a bacterial homologue GltPh have shown that these transporters operate by a so-called elevator mechanism\, where a distinct “transport” domain moves the substrate and coupled ions across the membrane. The dynamics of this process\, as well as that of substrate and ion binding and release\, determine the rate at which the transporter operates. We aim to understand the nature of the energetic barriers that determine the dynamics and function of these transporters.\n\nThe Krimm lectureship was endowed by the Krimm family\, and named after Professor Emeritus of Biophysics\, Samuel Krimm. We thank Dr. Krimm for his many contributions and years of service to the University and the Biophysics Department.

Some of them deeply worry us or scare us. While they require careful examination and response\, they often produce frustration\, uneasiness\, and uncertainty among peoples and countries of the world. They may also lead to excessive and emotional reactions and irrational denials. \n \nNorth Korea presents a prime example of these worrisome changes. Trying desperately to survive\, Mr. Kim seems to be succeeding in transforming this oppressive and disfunctional regime into a country capable of launching an ICBM targeted at Washington. An ominous change indeed. \n \nChina is another. Mr. Xi’s China seems to have reached the point where no country in its vicinity can afford to defy its immense might. Even South Korea\, a robust industrial democracy\, seems to be at the verge of succumbing to China’s demand that it refrain from closer and stronger security cooperation with the United States\, let alone Japan. China’s ascent to this dominant power status is an even bigger change achieved in a relatively short span of time with far-reaching impact on the world order. \n \nMr. Trump as the new president is in and of itself a big change for the world. While nothing is wrong about his slogan\, America First\, questions remain whether his means and style of achieving it is the correct one. His decisions to withdraw from TPP\, Paris Accord\, Iran nuclear deal and some other international commitments the world has taken for granted may do great harms to the global community as well as to the United States itself. Mr. Trump\, contrary to his will\, may be weakening America. \n \nMy presentation will survey these changes in the world and argue that close Japan-U.S. cooperation in the area of security\, economy\, trade and investment is the key to better cope with these serious challenges benefiting the two countries as well as the whole Indo-Pacific region of the world. \n \nMr. Naoyuki Agawa currently teaches American constitutional law and history as Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law at Doshisha University in Kyoto\, Japan. He joined Doshisha on April 1\, 2016 upon leaving Keio University in Tokyo. At Keio\, he served as Professor of the Faculty of Policy Management (1999 – 2016)\, Vice President\, International (2009 – 2013) and Dean of the Faculty of Policy Management (2007 – 2009). \n \nMr. Agawa served as Minister for Public Affairs in charge of public diplomacy and press relations at the Embassy of Japan in Washington\, D.C. on leave of absence from Keio University (2002 – 2005). \n \nMr. Agawa practiced law with the law firms of Nishimura & Partners in Tokyo (1996 – 2002) and Gibson\, Dunn & Crutcher in Washington\, D.C. and Tokyo (1987 -1995). He is licensed to practice law in the State of New York and the District of Columbia. He was also with the legal department of Sony Corporation of Tokyo\, Japan (1977 -1987). Mr. Agawa read law and graduated from the Georgetown University Law Center in 1984. He also graduated\, magna cum laude\, from the School of Foreign Service\, Georgetown University\, in 1977\, after transferring from Keio University in 1975. \n \nMr. Agawa’s books include: Understanding America Today through Its Constitution (2017)\; A History of Constitutional Amendments and Other Changes in America (2016)\; American History through the United States Constitution (2004\, 2013) (for which he received the Yomiuri-Yoshino Sakuzo Award in 2005)\; Manifest Destiny on the Seas? The Birth and Rise of Pax Americana (edited and coauthored) (2013)\; The Friendship on the Sea: the United States Navy and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force\, (2001)\; and The Birth of an American Lawyer (1986). He is also a co-translator into Japanese of Paul Johnson’s A History of the Jews (1999\, 2006). He frequently contributes to various journals and newspapers and engages in public speeches at various fora. \n \nMr. Agawa has also taught at\, among others\, the University of Virginia Law School\, Georgetown University Law Center\, and Tokyo University. He currently sits on the board of councilors of the Suntory Foundation\, the Nomura Foundation\, and the United States-Japan Council. He serves on various occasions as advisor to the government of Japan. This includes his current membership of CULCON\, a group that advises the Japanese and U.S. governments on matters related to bilateral cultural and educational exchanges.\n\nCosponsored by the Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit.

The event consists of three 30-minute presentations by the speakers\, followed by a question-and-answer session. \n\nSpeaker Bios:\n\nBen Allen is a biologist and activist in east Tennessee. He is an organizer for the revitalized Science for the People and was a member of the Science for the People Research Collective. He works as a contractor on computational biology projects related to energy and environment.\n\nDr. Sigrid Schmalzer is a professor in the History Department and an officer in the faculty union at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her publications include two books\, The People's Peking Man: Popular Science and Human Identity in Twentieth-Century China (2008) and Red Revolution\, Green Revolution: Scientific Farming in Socialist China (2016). She was also the lead organizer for the 2014 conference \"Science for the People: The 1970s and Today\,” and she is co-editor\, with Alyssa Botelho and Daniel S. Chard\, of the new primary source volume Science for the People: Documents from America’s Movement of Radical Scientists (2017).\n\nDr. John Vandermeer is the Asa Gray Distinguished University Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology as well as the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in LSA's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He has been involved in research and teaching in food and agriculture related topics for the past 40 years. His research has concentrated on the ecology of the coffee agroecosystem in Mexico\, elaborating the complex ecological structures involved in complicated dynamics of the pest control system there. He has authored 15 books\, mainly concerned with agroecosystems and more than 200 publications in theoretical ecology\, tropical ecology and agroecology. He is a founding member of the New World Agriculture and Ecology Group. He is currently a professor of ecology at the University of Michigan. ​\n\n*************\n\nThis event kicks off Science for the People's weekend-long convention. During the convention\, we will be making collective decisions about our organizational structure\, ratifying our foundational principles and bylaws\, and developing national projects\, we plan to include time to get to know one another\, to learn from each other\, and to further our political self-education. The original Science for the People arose in 1969 out of the anti-war movement and lasted until 1989. With radical analysis and non-hierarchical governing structure\, Science for the People tackled the militarization of scientific research\, the corporate control of research agendas\, the political implications of sociobiology and other scientific theories\, the environmental consequences of energy policy\, inequalities in health care\, and many other issues.\n\nIts members opposed racism\, sexism\, and classism in science and above all sought to mobilize people working in scientific fields to become active in agitating for science\, technology\, and medicine that would serve social needs rather than military and corporate interests. They organized in universities and communities\, published a magazine offering sharp political analysis\, and sought meaningful scientific exchange internationally in Vietnam\, China\, Cuba\, Nicaragua\, and other countries.\n\nSome of the issues we face today have changed in important ways\, but fundamental questions of power\, ideology\, and democracy in science remain.

Sideline consists of Steve Dilling (banjo)\, Skip Cherryholmes (guitar)\, Jason Moore (bass)\, Brian Aldridge (mandolin)\, and Nathan Aldridge (fiddle). As the name suggests\, Sideline intended to be a sometime band\, but the success of their debut album made Sideline a main line. Sideline captures much of what was great about bluegrass in the 1980s and early 1990s. Serving up what was contemporary bluegrass thirty years ago. they sound traditional in 2015. Sideline's driving bluegrass with killer harmonies and propulsive rhythm\, well-chosen blend of new and old material\, and especially the focus being an equal ensemble takes the listener right back in time to when these guys were jamming in the campgrounds. Recently signed to the Mountain Home label\, Sideline is at work on new music that you can be among the first to hear!

To become digital is to exist in a digital world. It is an ontological state that tacitly recognizes pervasive technology\, computational logic\, and digital aesthetics as the background condition to everyday life. To become digital is to be situated in a context where everything from screen to stone exists as data and matter\, where habits of mind forged within the digital environment are constantly transferred to the analog world. For architecture\, this has signaled a profound paradigm shift that is largely complete and yet conspicuously unaccounted. Digital technology entered architectural discourse in a wave of futurist prognostication\, heady formalist trajectories\, and overt avant-garde agendas. Positivist rationales and a fervent belief in the intrinsic merits of technological progress reigned among the varied proponents of early digital architecture\, alongside an embrace of the capacities of computation to address cultural and organizational complexity. In these early years\, the digital was foregrounded as both topic and technique. In contrast\, contemporary architectural practice engages the digital as ubiquitous and foundational. Today the digital is ambient\, environmental. It is a dull hum that emanates from every corner of our increasingly constructed world\, constituting the material\, conceptual\, and experiential context of any architectural project.\n\nReflecting on the status of the digital in contemporary architecture demands renewed critical attention towards the ways architects work and the products of our labor. Today\, our discipline’s waning fascination with digitally-enabled complexity and progress is being replaced with a sometimes blasé embrace of expedient digital tools from the Google image search to Rhino’s “Make 2D” command. Screenshot aesthetics and deadpan digital representations abound\, delivering a glancing wink to those in the know\, and constituting a new internal discourse for contemporary designers based on the expedient circulation of digital images. But as tendencies within our discipline assume the temporality of the meme\, the facile nature with which they are adopted often belies the significance of their appearance. Today\, digital technology doesn’t simply enable architects to represent the “real\,” it is intricately intertwined with the real itself. Our methods of design are evermore connected on a computational level to our methods of dissemination\, communication\, and social networking\, and indeed to those of our culture at large. This nascent condition presents new possibilities for architectural speculation\, representation\, and for our discipline’s potential impact in an increasingly digital world.\n\nBecoming Digital is a yearlong project that seeks to unpack our contemporary digital moment. Over the course of the year\, Taubman College faculty and students\, along with invited guests\, will design\, debate\, and reflect upon the current state of the digital in architecture. In the Fall semester\, three architecture offices\, all critically engaging digital technology through their practice\, will lead workshops with students and engage in public conversations around the project’s theme. The Winter semester will include an exhibition of student work\, a conference\, and a series of presentations by Taubman College faculty. All events will attempt to grapple with computation as the pervasive context in which we live and work\, and through that deeper understanding to reveal a capacity to influence ubiquitous digitality through design.\n\nConference Schedule\nThursday\, January 25 \n5:10pm Lecture: Hito Steyerl\nIn partnership with the Penny Stamps Speaker Series\n(Michigan Theatre\, 603 E.

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

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Following the social and political unrest of the 1960’s Lake emigrated to Montreal in 1968\, where she was among the first female artists in the nation to adopt performance\, video\, and photography to explore the politics of gender\, the body\, and identity. In this exhibition\, Lake returns to her childhood neighborhood and various locations central to her family history to explore the cycles of urban development and decay in working class Detroit\, as well as her experience with ageism.\n\nExhibition Dates: January 19 - February 25\nHours: Open during exhibitions Tuesday through Sunday\, 11:00 am - 5:00 pm\; Thursday and Friday\, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297778@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180203T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180203T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-February 23\, 2018 DESCRIPTION:Michigan in Washington application deadline for Fall 2018 and early admission Winter 2019 cohorts.

It explores the ambiguities of knowing what is meant by ontology in a world that has less and less to do with technology\, still mythologized as essential aspect of the Digital\, than with a new type of hallucinogenic environment – a slippery zone where mortals and corporate deities – environmentalized through clickbaits\, ransomwares\, hackers and data-patches - can speak to each other in zones of obsequious anxiety. On the one hand\, it is a world where we are more human than human. On the other hand\, we are all invested – globally - in our own inhumanity\, the duality between human and inhuman now lost in the fog of the algorithmic heuristic.\n\nJarzombek is currently working on a book that interrogates the digital/global imaginaries that shape our lives. A chapter from that book has recently been published. Digital Stockholm Syndrome in the Post-Ontological Age (University of Minnesota Press\, 2016).\n\nMark Jarzombek works on a wide range of topics – both historical and theoretical - from the 12th century to the modern era. He is one of the country’s leading advocates for global history and has published several books and articles on that topic\, including the ground-breaking textbook entitled A Global History of Architecture (Wiley Press\, 2006) with co-author Vikramaditya Prakash and with the noted illustrator Francis D.K. Ching. He is the sole author of Architecture of First Societies: A Global Perspective (Wiley Press\, 2013)\, which is a sensitive synthesis of first society architecture through time and includes custom-made drawings\, maps and photographs. The book builds on the latest research in archeological and anthropological knowledge while at the same time challenging some of their received perspectives.\n\nJarzombek’s ground-breaking work on global architecture history was highlighted by a 2.5 million dollar grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation that Jarzombek received with co-PI\, Vikramaditya Prakash (University of Washington\, Seattle)\, to create a new scholarly entity called Global Architecture History Teaching Collaborative (GAHTC). Promoting the development and exchange of teaching materials for architectural history education across the globe\, the collaborative provides awards to members and their teams to develop new lecture material from global perspectives.\n\nThrough EdX\, Jarzombek taught the first ever MOOC (mass open online course) on the history of architecture with thousands of participants\, world-wid. It is based on the undergraduate course that he teaches 4.605: A Global History of Architecture.\n\nJarzombek's and Prakash's other joint venture is the Architecture (Un)certainty Lab [A(U)L]\, which is dedicated to challenging architecture's epistemological and design capacities and bring the conversation back into a world of immersive ambiguities. A(U)L is the pedagogical wing of O(U)R\, [Office for (Un)certainty Research] the project-oriented studio that is also run by Jarzombek and Prakash.\n\nUrban destruction in the modern era is another focus of Jarzombek's work. His Urban Heterology: Dresden and the Dialectics of Post-Traumatic History takes on the issue of how erasure and rebuilding in Dresden force us to rethink the conventions of urban history. The issue is also at the core of the book about Krzysztof Wodiczko\, City of Refuge: A 9/11 Memorial\, which Jarzombek edited with Mechtild Widrich. He is currently working on a book called Architecture Modernity Enlightenment that reassesses contemporary architecture from the perspective of Enlightenment philosophers. His most recent book is Digital Stockholm Syndrome in the Post-Ontological Age .\n\nHe was a CASVA fellow (1985)\, Post-doctoral Resident Fellow at the J. Paul Getty Center for the History of Humanities and Art\, Santa Monica\, California (1986)\, a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton\, NJ (1993)\, at the Canadian Center for Architecture (2001) and at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute (2005). He serves on the board of several journals and academic institutions including the SSRC and the Buell Foundation\, and was a member of the 2011 Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG\, German Research Foundation) \"Excellence Initiative.\" \n\nJarzombek has organized several major international conferences on topics such as Holocaust Memorials\, Architecture and Cultural Studies\, and East European Architecture. He was the founding faculty editor of Thresholds\, an annual peer-reviewed journal produced by the Department of Architecture. The content of which features leading scholars and practitioners from the fields of architecture\, art\, and cultural studies.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

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.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Following the social and political unrest of the 1960’s Lake emigrated to Montreal in 1968\, where she was among the first female artists in the nation to adopt performance\, video\, and photography to explore the politics of gender\, the body\, and identity.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297779@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180129T181512 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180204T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Dancing Globally DESCRIPTION:Department of Dance. \n\nA program of modern dance featuring works by innovative global guest choreographers Ohad Naharin and Shannon Gillen and faculty Missy Beck and Sandra Torijano.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47322-10866217@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 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.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

A previous study about the early years indicated that the community has evolved into a differentiated discipline. This paper investigates the recent development of social simulation as reflected in Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation (JASSS) publications from 2008 to 2014. By using citation analysis\, we identify the most influential publications and study the characteristics of citations. Additionally\, we analyze the development of the field with respect to research topics and their structure in a co-citation analysis. The citation characteristics support the continuing highly multidisciplinary character of JASSS. Prominently cited are methodological papers and books\, standards\, and NetLogo as the main simulation tool. With respect to the focus of this research\, we observe continuity in topics such as opinion dynamics and the evolution of cooperation. While some topics disappeared such as learning\, new subjects emerged such as marriage formation models and tools and platforms. Overall\, one can observe a maturing inter- and multidisciplinary scientific community in which both methodological issues and specific social science topics are discussed and standards have emerged.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297780@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180205T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180205T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-February 23\, 2018 DESCRIPTION:Michigan in Washington application deadline for Fall 2018 and early admission Winter 2019 cohorts.

In His Own Voice: What Hatayi Tells Us about Shah Ismail’s Religious Views DESCRIPTION:This talk will look at religious views of Shah Ismail\, the founder of the Safavid Empire\, as reflected in his poetry. The speaker will argue that in Shah Ismail’s poetic corpus\, we are faced with a peculiar combination of divinization of ‘Ali\, monism\, and a firm focus on the salvific community united with the love of ‘Ali and allegiance to the Safavid shaykh/pir. Shah Ismail’s bid on sovereignty\, therefore\, can be interpreted as a clear instance of the strategy of equating royal and sacred authority which became popular in the post-Mongol age: his sacred power\, understood as the distillation of ‘Ali’s authority into his person as the Safavid Sufi master\, elevates him to the position of royal authority\, the sovereign king. \n \nAhmet T. Karamustafa is professor of history at the University of Maryland\, College Park. His expertise is in the social and intellectual history of Sufism in particular and Islamic piety in general in the medieval and early modern periods. His publications include \"God’s Unruly Friends\" (University of Utah Press\, 1994) and \"Sufism: The Formative Period\" (Edinburgh University Press & University of California Press\, 2007).

This measurement will improve sensitivity by 4 orders of magnitude over existing limits\, presenting a rare opportunity for an indirect probe of new physics beyond the reach of current or planned high energy colliders. To achieve a single conversion event sensitivity better than 3e-17 the experiment requires a very intense muon beam and a high precision measurement of the ~105 MeV/c conversion electron momentum\, while reducing to negligible all background contributions in the signal window.

In contrast to classic learning methods such as linear regression and Principal Component Analysis (PCA)\, our understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of modern approaches is still developing. In particular\, the robustness and scope of applicability of these algorithms remain elusive in most cases.\n\nIn this talk\, I will aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice for modern learning methods by drawing principled connections with classic learning algorithms under appropriate baseline setups. I will demonstrate the success of this approach in two fundamental problems in machine learning and statistics\, namely (1) learning nonlinear dependency measures among random variables and (2) learning probabilistic models from data. For the first problem\, I will introduce Maximally Correlated PCA as a multivariate extension of Maximal Correlation and a nonlinear generalization of PCA. For the second problem\, I will discuss Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) by drawing connections to optimal transport theory\, supervised learning and rate-distortion theory. During the talk\, I will examine applications in real datasets including a cutting-edge single-cell RNA-seq dataset. \n\nBio- Soheil Feizi is a post-doctoral research scholar at Stanford University in the area of machine learning and statistical inference.

He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47322-10866218@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 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.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Following the social and political unrest of the 1960’s Lake emigrated to Montreal in 1968\, where she was among the first female artists in the nation to adopt performance\, video\, and photography to explore the politics of gender\, the body\, and identity.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

Information geometry aims to replace the maximum likelihood method of statistics by a geometric approach. Many of the techniques involved sound familiar to physicists because they are used in classical mechanics\, relativity\, or thermodynamics. 2. The study of deformed exponential families started with the non-extensive statistical physics of Tsallis. New classes of statistical models will hopefully find application in many areas of research. A short presentation is given of the formalism of phi-deformed exponential families and their dual rho-tau geometries.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297781@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180206T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180206T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-February 23\, 2018 DESCRIPTION:Michigan in Washington application deadline for Fall 2018 and early admission Winter 2019 cohorts.

Over the past decade\, a growing consensus in Europe has voiced similar decrees. But what do these ominous proclamations\, from across the political spectrum\, mean? From the influx of immigrants in the 1950s to contemporary worries about refugees and terrorism\, \"The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Europe\" examines the historical development of multiculturalism on the Continent. Rita Chin argues that there were few efforts to institute state-sponsored policies of multiculturalism\, and those that emerged were pronounced failures virtually from their inception. She shows that today's crisis of support for cultural pluralism isn't new but actually has its roots in the 1980s.\n\nChin looks at the touchstones of European multiculturalism\, from the urgent need for laborers after World War II to the public furor over the publication of \"The Satanic Verses\" and the question of French girls wearing headscarves to school. While many Muslim immigrants had lived in Europe for decades\, in the 1980s they came to be defined by their religion and the public's preoccupation with gender relations. Acceptance of sexual equality became the critical gauge of Muslims' compatibility with Western values. The convergence of left and right around the defense of such personal freedoms against a putatively illiberal Islam has threatened to undermine commitment to pluralism as a core ideal. Chin contends that renouncing the principles of diversity brings social costs\, particularly for the left\, and she considers how Europe might construct an effective political engagement with its varied population.\n\nChallenging the mounting opposition to a diverse society\, \"The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Europe\" presents a historical investigation into one continent's troubled relationship with cultural difference.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.\n\nBook sales provided by Common Language Bookstore.\n\nEvent Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

More precisely\, the hypothesis is that Coulomb forces are carried by transversely polarized photons. Omission of the longitudinal and scalar photons removes some of the difficulties of standard QED. The second modification is the introduction of reducible representations of the canonical commutation and anti-commutation relations. Its main effect is that integrations over the wave vectors are postponed to the moment of evaluation of expectation values. In this way the problem of ultraviolet divergences becomes manageable. An overview of the theory is presented and some experimental consequences are discussed.\n UID:42200-9584888@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42200 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180206T181532 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180206T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180206T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Development of New Technologies for Medicinal Chemistry DESCRIPTION: Drug discovery programs are largely driven by the tools and techniques available to the synthetic medicinal chemist.

University Professorship Lecture: Locating the nodes: from sensor arrays to genomic networks DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSpatially distributed measurements have been used for hundreds of years to perform geolocation\, geodesy and triangulation. In WW1 acoustic sensor arrays were used to locate the direction of cannon fire based on correlation between sensor readings. Sensors in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) auto-locate their nodes based on correlation between received pilot signals. In genomics influential nodes are located in transcriptional or lineage networks based on correlation between omic profiles. Whether the node is a target\, a sensor\, or a nucleotide sequence\, the problem of node localization is of central interest in many disciplines of science and technology. In this talk I will provide perspectives on the general node localization problem\, discuss solutions and algorithms\, and address future opportunities and challenges.\n\nBIo:\nAlfred O.

MARTIN MURRAY’S “THE URBANISM OF EXCEPTION” (CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS\, 2017) DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating Prof. Martin Murray’s most recent book\, “The Urbanism of Exception.” He will be speaking informally about the book\, followed by Q&A\, and there will be the opportunity to purchase signed copies of the book. Refreshments will be served.\n\nThe Urbanism of Exception: The Dynamics of Global City Building in the Twenty-First Century (Cambridge University Press\, 2017).\nThis book challenges the conventional (modernist-inspired) understanding of urbanization as a universal process tied to the ideal-typical model of the modern metropolis with its origins in the grand Western experience of city-building. At the start of the twenty-first century\, the familiar idea of the 'city' - or 'urbanism' as we know it - has experienced such profound mutations in both structure and form that the customary epistemological categories and prevailing conceptual frameworks that predominate in conventional urban theory are no longer capable of explaining the evolving patterns of city-making. Global urbanism has increasingly taken shape as vast\, distended city-regions\, where urbanizing landscapes are increasingly fragmented into discontinuous assemblages of enclosed enclaves characterized by global connectivity and concentrated wealth\, on the one side\, and distressed zones of neglect and impoverishment\, on the other. These emergent patterns of what might be called enclave urbanism have gone hand-in-hand with the new modes of urban governance\, where the crystallization of privatized regulatory regimes has effectively shielded wealthy enclaves from public oversight and interference.\n\nBrief Bio: Professor Martin Murray began his academic career as sociologist with a strong foundation in urban geography. His current research engages the fields of urban studies and planning\, global urbanism\, cultural geography\, distressed urbanism\, development\, historical sociology\, and African studies. In addition to six books and three co-edited volumes\, he has produced close to seventy journal articles and book chapters that focus on diverse geographical areas of the world at different historical periods. After his first book on French colonialism in Indochina (University of California Press)\, Professor Murray pursued a deep and abiding interest in the politics of South Africa. He has published two books from an eventual trilogy on Johannesburg: Taming the Disorderly City: The Spatial Landscape of Johannesburg after Aparthreid (Cornell University Press\, 2008)\; City of Extremes: The Spatial Landscape of Johannesburg (Duke University Press\, 22011)\; and Panic City: Crime\, Private Security\, and Extended Security Networks in Johannesburg (under review). He has also published Commemorating and Forgetting: Challenges for the New South Africa (University of Minnesota Press\, 2013).

In Croatian with English subtitles (93 min.\, 2016). \n \nFour very different people live in the same building but avoid each other because of differences in how they live their lives\, what they believe in\, and where they come from. They would probably never exchange a word\, but misfortune pushes them towards each other. Their lives entangle in ways that profoundly challenge deep-held beliefs and prejudices surrounding material status\, sexual orientation\, nationality\, and religion.

Homegoing follows the parallel paths of two half-sisters and their descendants through eight generations: from the Gold Coast to the plantations of Mississippi\, from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem.\n\n“We are delighted to welcome Yaa Gyasi to Ann Arbor for the 2018 Jill S. Harris Lecture\,” said Peggy McCracken\, director of the Institute for the Humanities. “Homegoing has found many readers in Ann Arbor and beyond\; it's an engrossing novel that demonstrates the power of fiction to explore the ways in which the past shapes our present.”\n\nThe Jill S. Harris Memorial Endowment was established in 1985 in memory of Jill Harris\, a resident of Chicago and undergraduate student at U-M who passed away due to injuries from an auto accident. Established by Roger and Meredith Harris\, Jill’s parents\, her grandparents Allan and Norma Harris\, and friends\, the fund brings a distinguished visitor to campus each year who will appeal to undergraduate students interested in the humanities and the arts.

He applies this to both his graphic design and fine art. With so much to see and ruminate on in life\, Pappas keeps his hands busy by putting pen to paper. This body of work consists of portraits drawn with ink on a variety of surfaces including paper\, basswood and aspen panels in an offbeat pen and ink style that leans heavily on pointillism and crosshatching. The subjects range from athletes to musicians to personal friends.

Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

Using administrative data from Texas\, I classify schools in which the lowest-performing student subgroup was close to the proficiency threshold for making Adequate Yearly Progress as under accountability pressure. I present evidence that per pupil spending was around $60 higher in schools under accountability pressure after accounting for prior spending. A distributional shift that increased the share of teachers and reduced the share of teaching aides in pressured schools partially account for the higher spending\, as do higher teacher wages. By contrast\, distributional shifts in teaching experience as teachers enter and exit schools do not explain the effect on school expenditure.

How can that be? Jacob Morgan\, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the future of work and employee engagement\, uses his ongoing research of 252 organizations to show how short term “adrenaline shot” programs such as job sharing or working from home\, aren’t necessarily the answer. He will demonstrate how the world’s top organizations are redesigning work around their people by focusing on three environments: culture\, technology\, and the physical workspace. He will share why employee experience is the next big area of investment\, what the top organizations are doing\, and how you can go about creating an Experiential Organization.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47322-10866219@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 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. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Following the social and political unrest of the 1960’s Lake emigrated to Montreal in 1968\, where she was among the first female artists in the nation to adopt performance\, video\, and photography to explore the politics of gender\, the body\, and identity. In this exhibition\, Lake returns to her childhood neighborhood and various locations central to her family history to explore the cycles of urban development and decay in working class Detroit\, as well as her experience with ageism.\n\nExhibition Dates: January 19 - February 25\nHours: Open during exhibitions Tuesday through Sunday\, 11:00 am - 5:00 pm\; Thursday and Friday\, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

While correlators of these models admit a conventional genus expansion of the worldsheet\, the amplitudes actually localize on the maximal non-separating degeneration. We explore this simplification at two loops for type II supergravity\, concluding in several observations for generic massless field theories.

Sold in cheap diners\, strip mall buffets\, and P.F. Chang's\, this dish is a staple of contemporary American life. But critics charge that this dish is bad\, epitomizing everything that is wrong with American Chinese food. Greasy\, sweet\, and MSG-laden\, sweet-and-sour pork is a distortion of \"real\" Chinese cooking\, arguably more American than Chinese. In this talk\, I will challenge current views of sweet-and-sour pork by situating this dish within a history of cross-cultural contact and exchange. Through a mouth-watering tour of early modern Chinese meat stews and fried things\, I will also reconsider popular assumptions about culinary authenticity and argue that you should once again relish your sweet-and-sour pork - without shame.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297782@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180207T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180207T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-February 23\, 2018 DESCRIPTION:Michigan in Washington application deadline for Fall 2018 and early admission Winter 2019 cohorts.

All of these groups emulated the Black Panther Party because each group believed that their struggle as poor\, underserved and oppressed people was aligned with the struggle of black people throughout the world. More importantly\, the power of the liberation struggle led by the Black Panther Party in the US that impacted the struggles of poor and oppressed people in Europe\, the South Pacific\, the Middle East\, and Asia has been understudied for far too long.\n\nJakobi Williams’ research interests are centered on questions of resistance and social justice revolutions found within the African American community. His most recent book\, From the Bullet to the Ballot: The Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party and Racial Coalition Politics in Chicago\, demonstrates that Chicago’s Black Power movement was both a response to and extension of the city’s civil rights movement. Williams is a recipient of the National Endowment for the Humanities grant\, the National Humanities Center Fellowship\, and the Big Ten Academic Alliance-Academic Leadership Program.

They are also essential for semiconductor device fabrication\, the sterilization of medical equipment and the production of heat shrink tubing and tires. Achieving increased brightness and extending the scientific and industrial reach of these beams poses basic scientific questions about beam production\, acceleration and transport\, whose answers will require expertise spanning disciplines from ab initio physics\, materials science\, surface chemistry\, and mathematics to accelerator physics. A new NSF Science and Technology Center\, the Center for Bright Beams\, has been formed to do exactly this. The colloquium will present some of the key scientific questions involved in producing and using future bright beams and Center for Bright Beams early results. \n\n UID:49635-11487519@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49635 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180201T095948 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180207T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180207T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Fracturing of American Political Life DESCRIPTION:Much has been written about the increasing fragmentation of American society\, and the polarization of our politics. Although several explanations have been offered to account for this polarization\, I argue that something else is at fault: the decline of leadership among the heads of large American corporations. Through its relative moderation and pragmatism\, the corporate elite helped to keep extremist elements at bay during the post-World War II period\, an era of historically low inequality and high economic growth. In the 1970s\, however\, these elites\, facing a major crisis\, allied themselves with the far right groups they had previously shunned. Although this allowed large corporations to achieve several goals\, it opened the way for extremists to gain control of the Republican Party. In aligning itself with traditional conservatives\, the corporate elite created a situation that it can no longer control. The result is the political extremism that we observe today.

KEYNOTE LECTURE: JOEL SANDERS\, \"FROM STUD TO STALLED!: ARCHITECTURE IN TRANSITION\" DESCRIPTION:Joel Sanders' work addresses identity\, inclusivity\, and social issues in architecture. Recently\, his research has been focused on gender neutral bathrooms\, a highly debated and relevant topic today. Stalled!\, in collaboration with Susan Stryker\, aims to create a relatively barrier free open precinct that encourages all embodied subjects to freely and safely engage with one another in public space. Joel believes that making these changes requires acknowledging the pivotal role that building codes play in shaping identity through design\, as well as acknowledging that such codes are not neutral functional objectives but rather reflect and reproduce deep-seated cultural beliefs that shape the design of the spaces of our daily lives\, including bathrooms. \n\nIn addition to running his studio based in New York City\, Joel is a Professor of Architecture at Yale University. Prior to joining the Yale faculty\, he was the Director of the Graduate Program in Architecture at Parsons School of Design and an Assistant Professor at Princeton University. Joel received both a B.A. and M.Arch from Columbia University.\n\nThe editor of Stud: Architectures of Masculinity (Princeton Architectural Press\, 1996)\, he frequently writes about art and design\, most recently in Pin-up\, Art Forum and the Harvard Design Magazine. His monograph\, Joel Sanders: Writings and Projects\, was published by Monacelli Press in 2005. Groundwork: Between Landscape and Architecture\, co-edited with Diana Balmori\, was released by Monacelli Press in 2011.\n\nAn active member of the design community\, he serves on committees and panels on behalf of the American Academy in Rome\, MacDowell Colony\, American Institute of Architects\, Architectural League\, and the GSA Peer Review. Joel is also a co-chair of Van Alen Institute's Program Leadership Council (www.vanalen.org).\n\nIn collaboration with the UM Initiative on Disability Studies (UMInDS)\, Stalled!

SYMPOSIUM DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. \n\nWhenever disabled-queer-trans bodies move in on social space\, they disrupt the regimes of fitness presiding over urban and institutional infrastructure.Disabled-queer-trans\, or alterite bodies\, challenge normative preconceptions held by equally normate bodies.\n\nStalled!\, is a critical platform that collects key thought leaders to expand discourse in this space\, and invites broad participation from the University of Michigan network of activists\, facility personnel\, students\, academic staff\, administrators\, and faculty. Working from biological\, disabled\, historical\, political\, queer\, racial\, spatial\, and transgender perspectives\, Stalled! exposes the deep structure of discrimination proliferating throughout architecture and institutions. Stalled! co-locates inclusivity and radical alterity by promoting discussion around disability\, gender-fluidity\, and intersectionality.\n\nDeveloped by architect and activist\, Prof. Joel Sanders from Yale School of Architecture\, in collaboration with Taubman College\, Stalled! seeks several specific objectives: the design of more inclusive public spaces\, enrolling supportive partners and allies from across the University\, and educating various publics regarding the needs of social groups currently denied access to inclusive restrooms. Stalled! produces a conversation that expands upon the rhetoric of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, to reanimate static infrastructure as sites to demonstrate more actionable alterity.\n\nStalled! questions the protocols around how urban space is organized\, how buildings are designed\, and how everything - from the glossy messaging of advertising\, to the ubiquity of our digital identities - are overwhelmingly designed around monolithic forms of gender conformity\, singular concepts of ability\; and by extension\, within a very limited understanding of difference. Trans-Queer-Crip bodies make legible the limitations of regulatory bodies\, such as healthcare\, the systemic discrimination of the legal apparatus\, and complacency of education to equitably or imaginatively conceptualize alterity beyond a condition to be ameliorated\, incarcerated\, or accommodated. \n\nPanel 1: Trans and Queer Theory\nSpeaker: Mel Chen\, UC Berkeley\, Associate Professor of Gender & Women's Studies\; Director\, Center for the Study of Sexual Culture\n\nPanel 2: Inclusive Space\, Design\, Infrastructure\nSpeaker: Jos Boys\, University of Brighton\, College of Art & Culture\n\nStalled! kicks off on Wednesday\, February 7 at 6:00pm with a keynote lecture by Joel Sanders. Joel's work addresses identity\, inclusivity\,and social issues in architecture. Recently\, his research has been focused on gender neutral bathrooms\, a highly debated and relevant topic today.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47322-10866220@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

SYMPOSIUM DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. \n\nWhenever disabled-queer-trans bodies move in on social space\, they disrupt the regimes of fitness presiding over urban and institutional infrastructure.Disabled-queer-trans\, or alterite bodies\, challenge normative preconceptions held by equally normate bodies.\n\nStalled!\, is a critical platform that collects key thought leaders to expand discourse in this space\, and invites broad participation from the University of Michigan network of activists\, facility personnel\, students\, academic staff\, administrators\, and faculty. Working from biological\, disabled\, historical\, political\, queer\, racial\, spatial\, and transgender perspectives\, Stalled! exposes the deep structure of discrimination proliferating throughout architecture and institutions. Stalled! co-locates inclusivity and radical alterity by promoting discussion around disability\, gender-fluidity\, and intersectionality.\n\nDeveloped by architect and activist\, Prof. Joel Sanders from Yale School of Architecture\, in collaboration with Taubman College\, Stalled! seeks several specific objectives: the design of more inclusive public spaces\, enrolling supportive partners and allies from across the University\, and educating various publics regarding the needs of social groups currently denied access to inclusive restrooms. Stalled! produces a conversation that expands upon the rhetoric of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, to reanimate static infrastructure as sites to demonstrate more actionable alterity.\n\nStalled! questions the protocols around how urban space is organized\, how buildings are designed\, and how everything - from the glossy messaging of advertising\, to the ubiquity of our digital identities - are overwhelmingly designed around monolithic forms of gender conformity\, singular concepts of ability\; and by extension\, within a very limited understanding of difference. Trans-Queer-Crip bodies make legible the limitations of regulatory bodies\, such as healthcare\, the systemic discrimination of the legal apparatus\, and complacency of education to equitably or imaginatively conceptualize alterity beyond a condition to be ameliorated\, incarcerated\, or accommodated. \n\nPanel 1: Trans and Queer Theory\nSpeaker: Mel Chen\, UC Berkeley\, Associate Professor of Gender & Women's Studies\; Director\, Center for the Study of Sexual Culture\n\nPanel 2: Inclusive Space\, Design\, Infrastructure\nSpeaker: Jos Boys\, University of Brighton\, College of Art & Culture\n\nStalled! kicks off on Wednesday\, February 7 at 6:00pm with a keynote lecture by Joel Sanders. Joel's work addresses identity\, inclusivity\,and social issues in architecture. Recently\, his research has been focused on gender neutral bathrooms\, a highly debated and relevant topic today. Stalled!\, in collaboration with Susan Stryker\, aims to create a relatively barrier free open precinct that encourages all embodied subjects to freely and safely engage with one another in public space. Joel believes that making these changes requires acknowledging the pivotal role that building codes play in shaping identity through design\, as well as acknowledging that such codes are not neutral functional objectives but rather reflect and reproduce deep-seated cultural beliefs that shape the design of the spaces of our daily lives\, including bathrooms. \n\nIn partnership with the UM Initiative on Disability Studies (UMInDS)\, The U-M Spectrum Center\, and the U-M Women's Studies Department.

Her interdisciplinary research focuses on contemporary \ncultural production and its relationship to architecture and urbanism. Sirota is principal of the award-winning design studio Akoaki and director of the Detroit-based Michigan Architecture Prep program. She holds a Master in Architecture from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design and a B.A. in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University. \n\nIn the aftermath of Modernism’s perceived urban failures\, a cadre of architects is becoming increasingly aware that a building might not always be the best solution to a spatial problem. The lecture will explore how certain practices are reinventing the architectural profession\, replacing the model of the heroic visionary with a more collaborative\, experimental\, and interdisciplinary approach to work in the built environment.\n\nThis is the fourth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us. The next lecture series will start March 8\, 2018. The title is Behavioral and Social Sciences: Real World Applications.

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.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Following the social and political unrest of the 1960’s Lake emigrated to Montreal in 1968\, where she was among the first female artists in the nation to adopt performance\, video\, and photography to explore the politics of gender\, the body\, and identity. In this exhibition\, Lake returns to her childhood neighborhood and various locations central to her family history to explore the cycles of urban development and decay in working class Detroit\, as well as her experience with ageism.\n\nExhibition Dates: January 19 - February 25\nHours: Open during exhibitions Tuesday through Sunday\, 11:00 am - 5:00 pm\; Thursday and Friday\, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

The subsidies attracted the mob\, and the higher incomes now available through organized crime compensated those burakumin who abandoned the legal sector for criminal careers. In the process\, the subsidies gave new support to the tendency many Japanese already had to equate the burakumin with the mob. \n \n The government ended the subsidies in 2002. Eric Rasmusen and I explore the effect of the termination by merging 30 years of municipality data with a long-suppressed 1936 census of burakumin neighborhoods. First\, we find that outmigration from municipalities with more burakumin increased after the end of the program. Apparently\, the higher illegal income generated by the subsidies had restrained young burakumin from joining mainstream society. Second\, we find that once the mob-tied corruption and extortion associated with the subsidies neared its end\, real estate prices rose in municipalities with burakumin neighborhoods. With the subsidies gone and the mob in retreat\, other Japanese found the formerly burakumin communities increasingly attractive places to live. \n \nMark Ramseyer spent most of his childhood in provincial towns and cities in Miyazaki\, attending public schools for K-6. He returned to the U.S. for college. Before attending law school\, he studied Japanese history at the Center for Japanese Studies at the University of Michigan. Ramseyer graduated from Harvard Law School in 1982. He clerked for the Hon. Stephen Breyer (then on the First Circuit)\, worked for two years at Sidley & Austin (in corporate tax)\, and studied as a Fulbright student at the University of Tokyo. After teaching at UCLA and the University of Chicago\, he came to Harvard in 1998. He has also taught or co-taught courses at several Japanese universities (in Japanese). In his research\, Ramseyer primarily studies Japanese law\, and primarily from a law & economics perspective. In addition to a variety of Japanese law courses\, he teaches the basic Corporations course.\n\nCosponsored by the U-M Law School.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297783@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180208T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180208T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-February 23\, 2018 DESCRIPTION:Michigan in Washington application deadline for Fall 2018 and early admission Winter 2019 cohorts.

Elliott\nEllad B. Tadmor\, Subrahmanyam Pattamatta\nDepartment of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics\nUniversity of Minnesota\n\nDue to the exponential complexity of the equilibrium set associated with the potential energy landscape of atomic interactions\, the response of nanostructures to applied loading is inherently stochastic. This complexity is addressed head on by the construction\, using branch-following and bifurcation (BFB) methods\, of an “Equilibrium Map” (EM) of the nanostructure. The EM describes all of the stable and unstable states of the structure at each value of applied loading and thereby provides a systematic procedure for identifying physically-meaningful response scenarios. These include the limiting cases of a quasistatic process (QP) and quenched dynamic (QD)\, as well as the rate-dependent case of driven dynamic (DD). The method is applied to the uniaxial compression of a nanoslab of nickel modeled using a classical interatomic potential. The set of possible equilibrium solutions for this simple problem is surprisingly complex and therefore demonstrates the need for such an approach.\n\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nRyan S. Elliott received his B.S. in Engineering Mechanics from Michigan State\nUniversity. He received his M.S.E.\, M.S.\, and Ph.D.\, all from The University\nof Michigan. Elliott joined the faculty of the Aerospace Engineering and\nMechanics at The University of Minnesota in 2005 and was promoted to Associate\nProfessor in 2011. In 2010 he was Visiting Researcher at the Ecole\nPolytechnique\, France. Elliott was appointed to the Journal of Elasticity\nBoard of Editors in 2015\, and to the International Journal of Solids and\nStructures Board of Editors in 2017. In 2017\, Elliott was elected Fellow of\nthe ASME.\n\nDr. Ryan S. Elliott's research deals with stability and instability problems\nrelated to structures\, materials\, and microstructured materials\, and includes\nthree major themes: (I) development of nonlinear modeling of discrete and\ncontinuum solid-state materials and structures\; (II) development of analytical\nand computational methodologies (based on theories of symmetry\, bifurcation\,\nand pattern formation) that can systematically discover the multiple stable\nstates predicted by a model\; and (III) development of open source scientific\nsoftware. Elliott is co-author of the book \"Continuum Mechanics and\nThermodynamics\". He has received numerous awards\, including: the Ivor\nK. McIvor Award in Applied Mechanics (2004)\, the Russell J. Penrose Faculty\nFellowship (2012)\, and the ASME Thomas J.R. Hughes Young Investigator award\n(2014).

Giessen\, Ph.D.\nBME Faculty Candidate and Guest Speaker\nHarvard Medical School\n \n“A bioarchitectonic approach to biological production and nanoscale control”\n \nAbstract:\nWe all face a number of interconnected major challenges in the 21st century\, including climate change\, environmental pollution and health care crises. Pursuing sustainable and efficient biological production approaches of drugs\, fuels and materials as well as continued biomedical innovation are two of the main strategies needed to address these problems. My approach to tackling these issues relies on the discovery\, understanding and engineering of self-assembling protein-based nanostructures. In this talk\, I will focus on encapsulin nanocompartments\, a recently discovered class of small protein organelles. I will first discuss two newly discovered encapsulin systems relating to iron metabolism and the global nitrogen cycle. Building on a fundamental understanding of encapsulin assembly\, a number of engineering projects which utilize programmable engineered nanospaces to improve biological production and exert spatiotemporal control over metabolism will then be presented. Finally\, I will briefly outline future projects that employ engineered 3D and 1D nanostructures for applications in drug delivery\, molecular imaging\, biosensing and engineering the biology-electronics interface.

Despite this success\, quantitative tests of these models using data from sexual radiations are rare. Consequently\, we do not know whether realistic versions of the FLP can account for the extent and the rate of evolution of sexually-selected traits. To answer this question\, we generalize the basic FLP model of sexual coevolution and compare predictions of that basic model with patterns observed in an iconic sexual radiation\, birds-of-paradise. Our model tracks the coevolution of male and female traits (two in each sex) while relaxing some restrictive assumptions. Using computer simulations\, we evaluate the behavior of the model and confirm that it is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process. We also assess the ability of the FLP to account for the quantitative aspects of ornament evolution in the genus Paradisaea using published measurements of display traits and a phylogeny of the genus. Finally\, we use program OUwie to compare model fits to generic OU and Brownian motion processes and to estimate FLP parameters. We show that to explain the sexual radiation of the genus Paradisaea one must either invoke extremely weak stabilizing selection on female mating preferences or allow the preference optimum to undergo Brownian motion at a modest rate.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/wx6hIxCuAaY UID:48512-11243800@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48512 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180126T085011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180208T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180208T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Occasional Lecture Series | History as Context for the Present: A Family Story of China’s Coming of Age DESCRIPTION:If you end up on the wrong side of history\, nobody writes yours. Correspondent Scott Tong of Marketplace public radio – and a 2013-14 University of Michigan Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow – talks about China’s long and interrupted opening to the world\, told through the lives of five people across five generations in his own family. The stories are told in his new book\, A Village with My Name: A Family History of China’s Opening to the World. \n \nHe begins by pursuing the lives of relatives and ancestors whose names are hardly ever spoken at the family table. The untold stories and history help fill in an oft-ignored chapter in the China story: the contribution of mainlanders who adopted the ideas\, music and literature of the outside world. Although A Village with My Name is a personal\, historical work of narrative nonfiction\, it provides history as context to the present. Tong\, who is reporting on the current globalization backlash\, will also address issues of national identity\, globalization and drawbridges that many in the world are asking right now.\n\nScott Tong has reported from more than a dozen countries as correspondent for Marketplace\, from refugee camps in east Africa to shoe factories in eastern China. He toured the oil sands of Canada and snuck into Burma. Currently he serves as correspondent for Marketplace’s Sustainability Desk\, where his coverage focuses on energy\, the environment\, natural resources and the global economy.\n\nIn 2006\, Scott opened Marketplace’s first permanent bureau in China\, as Shanghai bureau chief. His first book\, A Village with My Name: A Family History of China’s Opening to the World (University of Chicago Press\, 2017)\, is a personal\, journalistic discovery of China’s long and interrupted economic opening. More than a faraway story from a long time ago\, it addresses the divisive questions about globalization and drawbridges that many countries are debating today.\n\nHis reporting includes special coverage of the 2016-2017 globalization backlash\; Water: The High Price of Cheap\; Venezuela’s economic collapse\; the triumph of the shareholder value model in the U.S. and the Price of Profits\; the challenge of long-term job creation in the United States\; the 2011 Japan tsunami and recovery\; the 2011 famine in the Horn of Africa\; and the economics of one child in China. In 2013-14\, Scott was awarded the Knight-Wallace journalism fellowship at the University of Michigan.\n\nScott joined Marketplace in 2004\, after working as a producer and off-air reporter for the PBS NewsHour\, where he produced a series of mini-documentaries from Iraq following the U.S. invasion in 2003. He’s appeared on the PBS NewsHour\, the Aspen Ideas Festival and TedxFoggybottom.\n\nA graduate of Georgetown University\, Scott is a native of Poughkeepsie\, New York. He lives in Arlington\, Virginia with his wife Cathy and three children. He is an acknowledged soccer dad and cycles to work at a measured pace.\n\nCosponsored by the U-M Knight-Wallace Program.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

The term names individuals who persist outside of capitalist productive relations and\, as a result\, lack a place within capitalist social formations. Marx typically invokes such types only to dismiss them as irrelevant to theoretical concerns of production and class struggle\, or to scorn them as immoral\, criminal\, and self-interested enemies of the proletariat. The dispossessed of modern society—drifters\, criminals\, underworld agents\, etc.—are thus named by Marxism but denied proper epistemological scrutiny. The lumpenproletariat thus possesses a somewhat archival character: it’s catalogued and registered in Marxism’s conceptual finding aid\, but awaits full exhumation and serious study. Similarly\, much of the Depression-era fiction and poetry of two African American writers—Ralph Ellison and Margaret Walker—that resituates the lumpenproletariat as a means of understanding U.S. social arrangements and imagining revolutionary African American political desires also resides\, unfinished and unstudied\, in manuscript archives. \n\nIn this talk\, I discuss Ellison and Walker’s innovative 1930s writings\, showing how the concept of the lumpenproletariat allowed them to\, in various ways\, renovate Marxist theory in order to illuminate and challenge the intersectional dynamics of capitalism\, patriarchy\, and Jim Crow in America. Ellison and Walker also provide an occasion for thinking the importance of the archive\, not only as a site of innovative experiments in radical literature and culture\, but as a means of designating the place of the understudied within the conceptual topography of Marxist and radical thought. If Walker and Ellison were inspired by a concept Marxism had overlooked and by individuals Depression America had discarded\, then we might consider their efforts as models of how to engage with Marxism through its archive\, through its de-prioritized and unexamined resources.\n\nNathaniel Mills is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Minnesota. He is the author of Ragged Revolutionaries: The Lumpenproletariat and African American Marxism in Depression-Era Literature (University of Massachusetts Press\, 2017). His articles on U.S. and African American literary radicalism have appeared or are forthcoming in venues such as African American Review\, MELUS\, Twentieth-Century Literature\, Studies in American Naturalism\, The Cambridge Companion to Richard Wright\, and The Cambridge Companion to American Literature of the 1930s.

Despite its being a central component of many attempts to go beyond the standard model of particle physics\, supersymmetry (SUSY) is an example of the latter. This talk is part of an ongoing project to establish a discussion in the philosophy of SUSY.\n\nSUSY is a proposed dynamical symmetry between bosons (broadly speaking\, force carriers) and fermions (matter). As a result of being a transformation between particles of different spin\, the algebra of its generators has an interesting feature---it appears to allow for an interpretation as a (generalisation of a) spacetime symmetry. Construing SUSY as such\, it is possible to re-express the theory in a new setting---superspace\, in which ordinary Minkowski spacetime is augmented with a number of anticommuting ‘dimensions’. These are dimensions along which\, counter-intuitively\, coordinate values are sensitive to the order in which they are multiplied---they cannot\, therefore\, be visualised in the way that ordinary spatial or temporal dimensions are\, as lines extending in some direction. Even though superspace is not a geometry in the familiar point-set sense\, it manifests geometric structure in a more general\, algebraic way: objects with the algebraic properties of vectors\, tensors\, derivative operators and so on are well-defined. Thus metrical and inertial structures exist in superspace\, but algebraically. In this talk\, I address the question of what difference this generalisation makes to our understanding of the roles of the metric and inertial structure in constituting spacetime.\n\n(No prior familiarity with supersymmetry or quantum field theory will be assumed) UID:48908-11328385@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48908 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy LOCATION:Angell Hall - 1171 (Tanner Library) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180122T123017 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180208T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180208T210000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Weddings Around the World Theme Dinner DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, February 8th\, South Quad Dining hall is having a Wedding's Around the World Theme Dinner!

His ongoing Man Made project bridges the gap separating authentic developing-world production\, industrial manufacturing\, and contemporary design. Independently and through association with many nonprofit organizations\, he has worked as a product development consultant throughout the globe. Through his New York studio\, Stephen Burks Man Made\, many of the world’s leading design-driven brands have commissioned Burks to develop collections that engage hand production as a strategy for innovation for manufacturers worldwide. His work has been exhibited internationally\, including solo museum exhibitions at the Studio Museum in Harlem and the Museum of Arts & Design. He has received the Illinois Institute of Technology Alumni Professional Achievement Award\, the Brooklyn Museum Young Modernist Award\, the Architektur & Wohnen Audi Mentor Prize\, and the 2008 United States Artists Architecture & Design Target Fellowship Grant\, as well as the 2015 Cooper Hewitt National Design Award in product design.\n\nThis Penny Stamps Speaker Series event is supported by the Detroit Creative Corridor Center\, stewards of the UNESCO City of Design designation.
