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. 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.

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:48737-11297793@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:20180116T135117 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180218T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180218T150000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Guided Tour - Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection DESCRIPTION:This exhibition of drawings by Henri Matisse showcases the mastery of draftsmanship by two of the most significant artists of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Ellsworth Kelly (1923–2015). Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. Accompanying the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Join UMMA docents as they explore this artistic dialogue\, seeing one artist through the eyes of another.\n \nMatisse 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.

Division Street\, Ann Arbor MI 48104 \n\n\nSuzy Lake: Playing with Time\nAnnette Mangaard\n2014\, 62:00 minutes\, colour\, English\n\nA feature length documentary on photographer Suzy Lake\, one of the seminal feminist artists to evolve out of the heyday of the 1960’s. A master of the art of self-portraiture\, Lake influenced Cindy Sherman as well as a host of other female photographers. Lake makes art that addresses politics\, gender and issues of youth\, beauty and aging while reflecting on her own journey through time. Interviews with Lucy Lippard\, Connie Butler\, Mary Beth Edelson\, Françoise Sullivan\, Martha Wilson\, Barbara Astman and Lisa Steele tell a story of how much has changed in the worlds of feminism and art and yet how much things remain the same. \n\nBorn in 1947 in Detroit\, Michigan\, Lake became active in the civil rights and anti-war movement in the 1960’s. In 1968\, after witnessing the Detroit uprisings\, she was part of a large wave of Americans who moved to Canada due to their opposition to the Vietnam War. She ended up in Montreal where she joined the burgeoning artistic community. It was the time of ‘Conceptual Art’\, ‘Body Art’ and ‘Performance Art’\, all movements informed by the politics of liberation\, feminism and the anti-war movement. A former model and mime\, Lake became involved in performances for audiences\, often documented by photographs and videos. She found that performing for the camera\, rather than live audiences\, gave her the control required to develop her artistic voice. \n\nFor Lake\, identity is mutable\, contextual and politicized. Today\, Suzy Lake continues to explore the politics of gender with work that deals with the aging woman\, countering notions of consumer beauty with a different and real image celebrating stamina\, maturity and experience.

The project\, led by the Institute for the Humanities\, symbolizes the humanities in action\, and the empowerment that can be achieved through working together\, overcoming obstacles and divides\, and discovering creative solutions.\n\nMacmurtrie is an award winning artist\, renowned internationally for his large-scale robotic sculpture\, whose work combines materiality and robotics\, the visceral and conceptual. His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

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:47322-10866231@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

She is an anthro-political linguist recognized for her research on U.S. LatinU languages\, language socialization\, \"Spanglish\,\" and \"English-only\" laws. In addition to her award winning community ethnography\, Growing Up Bilingual: Puerto Rican Children in New York (1997)\, she co-authored Spanish in New York: Language Contact\, Dialectal Leveling\, and Structural Continuity (2012) with Ricardo Otheguy\, and edited three volumes\, Building on Strength: Language and Literacy in Latino Families and Communities (2005)\, Multilingual San Diego (2009)\, and Multilingual Philadelphia (2010). Recent articles include a study of language and identity on the Tijuana–San Diego border by Mexican-origin college students and at a border high school\, and Puerto Rican assimilation to Mexican Spanish in San Diego.\n\nIn her talk\, Prof. Zentella will discuss recent debates about language\, truth\, facts\, news\, and the rise of linguistic intolerance and hate crimes. As she indicates\, “An anthro-political linguistic perspective helps us understand the recent attacks on speakers of other languages by the general public\, employers\, teachers\, judges\, senators\, and by the President and his advisors\, by explaining how racial ideologies of superiority/inferiority and purity/contamination have been remapped from biology onto language\, with damaging repercussions for the education\, employment\, and safety of people of color who speak varied languages.”\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

Numerous public goods experiments have shown that many people contribute more to the public good than pure self-interest can easily explain. Correspondingly\, there exists a large body of experimental evidence and behavioral explanations. As a natural extension\, we deploy the standard linear public goods game in a network setting\, where only connected neighbors on the network can contribute to and benefit from the same collection of public goods. In the proposed experiment\, we utilize a series of locally tree-like regular graphs to examine if the network structure will affect learning and other-regarding preferences (social preferences). Building upon the various network structures in the experiment\, we would like to employ structural models that characterize the patterns of local interactions and calibrate the empirical population distribution of such characteristics. Lastly\, the experimental evidence will support the construction of ”Empirical agent-based models\,” which we plan to use for ”out of sample prediction.” Based on our understanding of local interactions\, we are now ready to explore the provision of public goods in networks with other typologies — be it of larger size or different characteristics.

Information is accumulated and transferred within and across generations through the process of cumulative culture. What are the evolved psychological mechanisms that underlie cultural learning and how do they develop over the course of ontogeny? In a systematic program of mixed-methodological\, comparative\, and cross-cultural research\, I study the human capacities to learn\, create\, and transmit culture\, to shed light on the cognitive and cultural evolution of our species. The propensity for social learning provides the foundation for cumulative culture\, and is both early developing and universal. Selective social learning mechanisms also afford the capacity to flexibly respond to diverse ontogenetic contexts and cultural ecologies. I describe the global diversity in childrearing practices\, and present evidence for continuity and variability in the psychological capacities that enable cultural learning. \n\nBio:\nDr. Legare is an alumna of the U-M's Developmental area and studies the influence of culture on children's cognitive and social development.

There is overwhelming evidence that creating an autonomy-supportive learning environment\, in which instructors seek to adopt student perspectives and allow students to take more ownership of their learning\, has numerous benefits. In this session\, we will present data supporting these ideas\, collected through a large-scale\, course transformation program\, which uses the framework of self-determination theory to help instructors increase student engagement and motivation. We will also discuss some benefits and challenges of long-term and widespread data collection.\n\nIn the interactive session\, participants will have the opportunity to identify relevant research questions\, potential data collection measures\, and available resources to help with scholarship endeavors. We will also consider the wide-range of benefits of including scholarly inquiry in your teaching activities.

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:48737-11297794@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:20180530T080833 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180219T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180219T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introductory Techniques Seminars presented by The Michigan Center for Materials Characterization DESCRIPTION:This continuing series of seminars is designed to introduce potential users of our center to a range of the techniques that are employed with our instruments.

I will present research suggesting that these “intuitive theories\" are never truly replaced by scientific theories but rather coexist with them\, shaping the kinds of inferences we make\, the kinds of explanations we endorse\, and the kinds of information we accept as true. While adults with extensive science education are typically able to discriminate between scientific and non-scientific claims\, they are slower to make those discriminations for claims that are inconsistent with their intuitive theories\, and they justify the endorsement of scientific claims by appealing to intuition and authority rather than theory and evidence. Our understanding of science may thus be constrained by patterns of reasoning that emerge in childhood but persist long thereafter.

She is also a political contributor on ABC’s The View. The Miami New Times named her a “Republican power-consultant\,” and the Tampa Bay Times called her “a sought-after voice in Republican politics and an adviser for any presidential hopeful\,” saying\, “with confidants Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio she is poised to play a big role in the GOP response to immigration reform and Hispanic outreach.” Respected on both sides of the aisle for her straight shooting and candor\, Navarro frequently appears in the media\, sought after by Meet the Press\, Bill Maher’s Real Time\, Anderson Cooper 360\, and The View\, to name a few. “Ana speaks the truth\, and she is willing to speak the truth to power without reservation…She has the ear of lots of elected officials\,” said Republican consultant Brett O’Donnell. She is in touch with the political issues people are talking about\, and in presentations\, she discusses the latest hot button issues in politics\, giving audiences an insider’s view of the upcoming elections and a roadmap for where the country is headed.

The Lost Gender Egalitarian Voice of the Qur’an DESCRIPTION:How can a book that--allegedly--openly advises husbands by saying\, “Strike them” in cases of marital conflict have any possible gender-egalitarian interpretation? Does the Qur’an really reflect a misogynist ideology? What can the analytic\, linguistic\, and critical approach to the Qur’anic text reveal when it comes to women’s issues? Could the hermeneutical investigation of the Qur’an end by the reconquest of a lost humanitarian and gender egalitarian richness of a text that has gone poorly and loosely handled for centuries? What does the Qur’an relay say about gender equality\, polygamy\, minor marriage\, women’s right to education and work\, women’s right to public authority positions\, and women’s right to Prophethood?\n\nAbla Hasan is assistant professor of practice of Arabic language and culture at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

Indeed\, some interactions may help to resolve some observed tensions between high and low redshift probes of structure. I will discuss a class of models where the interactions take the form of pure momentum exchange and show how these can lead to a dark energy sound speed that deviates from unity. \n UID:50042-11625145@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50042 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180214T134227 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180219T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180219T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sex and the Archives: A View from the Trenches DESCRIPTION:Where do we find sex in archives?

Indigenous Climate Change Studies and Justice: Indigenizing Futures\, Decolonizing the Anthropocene DESCRIPTION:Indigenous peoples are creating an STS-related field to support their own capacities to address anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change. Indigenous studies often reflect the memories and realms of knowledge that arise from Indigenous peoples’ living heritages as societies with stories\, lessons\, and long histories of having to be well-organized to adapt to seasonal and inter-annual environmental changes. At the same time\, our societies have been heavily disrupted by colonialism\, capitalism\, and industrialization. Through discussing the themes unique to Indigenous climate change studies\, I will claim that Indigenous studies offer critical decolonizing approaches by which to address climate change and achieve climate justice. These approaches arise from how our ways of imagining the future guide our present actions. The presentation will cover and integrate a range of topics\, from the Dakota Access Pipeline to the Indigenous science movement to Indigenous science fiction imagination.\n\nKyle Whyte (Potawatomi) holds the Timnick Chair in the Humanities at Michigan State University.

The project\, led by the Institute for the Humanities\, symbolizes the humanities in action\, and the empowerment that can be achieved through working together\, overcoming obstacles and divides\, and discovering creative solutions.\n\nMacmurtrie is an award winning artist\, renowned internationally for his large-scale robotic sculpture\, whose work combines materiality and robotics\, the visceral and conceptual. His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

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:47322-10866232@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

The project is co-directed by Robert Fishman\, Professor of Architecture and Urban Planning\, and Matthew Biro\, Professor of Art History. Fore more information\, please visit our website: http://taubmancollege.umich.edu/research/michigan-mellon-project-egalitarianism-and-metropolis\n\nRebecca Zurier studies what American art and culture can tell us about each other\, defining art broadly to include comic strips\, mass media\, vernacular architecture\, and other aspects of the visual and built environment. Her research has focused to date on the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries\, a time when industrialization\, urbanization\, immigration\, and changes in race relations and social mores–as well as experimentation in politics and the arts–redefined the United States as modern. Current interests include urban culture in New York and Detroit\, national identity and the perception of American art abroad\, and concepts of realism and representation in art and writing.\n\nAndrew Herscher trained as an architect and historian of architecture and works on the spatial politics of violence\, humanitarian and human rights issues\, exile and migration\, and contemporary art and architecture. His research\, writing\, and teaching is informed by his long-term participant-observation in Kosovo’s post-conflict environment\, including work with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia\, the United Nations Mission in Kosovo\, and the Kosovo Cultural Heritage Project\, a nongovernmental organization he co-founded and co-directed. During his time in Michigan\, he has also been involved in a number of collaborative projects in Detroit\, including the We the People of Detroit Community Research Collective\; Detroit Resists\, a coalition of activists\, artists\, architects and community members working on behalf of an inclusive\, equitable\, and democratic city\; and the Detroit Unreal Estate Agency\, an open-access platform for the study of urban crisis using Detroit as a focal point.\n\nAna María León is trained as both an architect and an architecture historian. Her research focuses on the intersection of modernity\, pedagogy\, and politics in art and architecture\, with special emphasis on networks between the Americas and Europe. Her current project examines the housing projects of Catalan architect Antonio Bonet in Buenos Aires as mediators between the avant-garde’s fascination with the unconscious and the state’s mandate to control the crowds. She has worked on the intersection of pedagogy and politics in Latin American art and architecture\, particularly in the influence of the participatory discourse of Marxist pedagogue Paulo Freire in the work of artist Lygia Clark and architect Vilanova Artigas in São Paulo\, and in the Open City architecture school in Valparaíso.

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.

Incorporating two new styles of US urban popular dance--New York-based b-boying/b-girling or \"breaking\" and California-based popping and locking-- piliwu was China's first localized movement of hip-hop culture\, which reflected new circuits of intercultural exchange between China and the United States during the first decade of China's Reform Era. Analyzing the dance choreography recorded in a 1988 Chinese film\, Rock Youth 摇滚青年 (dir. Tian Zhangzhuang)\, together with media reports and testimonials from members of China's piliwu generation\, this talk reconstructs the history of the piliwu movement\, arguing for the central influence of U.S. pop culture icon Michael Jackson\, the growth of China's underground commercial dance (zou xue 走穴) economy\, and the agency of dancers' bodies in transnational movements of media culture. \n\nEmily Wilcox is Assistant Professor of Modern Chinese Studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan. She is a specialist in Chinese performance culture\, especially dance\, and has published articles in both English and Chinese in \"Asian Theatre Journal\,\" \"TDR: The Drama Review\,\" \"The Journal of Asian Studies\,\" \"Wudao Pinglun (The Dance Review)\,\" and other venues. Dr. Wilcox co-curated the 2017 exhibition \"Chinese Dance: National Movements in a Revolutionary Age\, 1945-1965\" that was on display in the UM Hatcher Library last spring\, and she is the author of a forthcoming book on the history of concert dance in the People's Republic of China.

DESCRIPTION:THE EVENT WILL BE LIVE STREAMED ON LSA WEBSITE (link below). #UMichTalks #bitcoin\n\nFresh off her @MichiganEngineering Facebook Live Bitcoin discussion\, Dr Shaw presents an illuminating discussion on the topic.\n\nAbstract\nThe first posted exchange rate for Bitcoin in 2009 was around $0.001 (USD) = 1 BTC.  Just over eight years later\, in mid-December 2017\, it reached an inconceivable high of over $19\,000 (USD) = 1 BTC\, only to lose near 40% of its value the following month. Along with this dramatic ride in its price came a new wave of attention from mainstream audiences who brought with them a lot of questions - the two biggest being ‘What is Bitcoin?’ and ‘Why is it worth anything?’\n \nThis talk will offer some answers to these questions. The first part will use a computational modeling approach to help clarify how it is that this “something out of nothing” quality can arise out of social valuation processes. The second part will then combine information from the documented history of Bitcoin’s development\, venture capital funding trends\, and text scraped from thousands of news articles to explore the role different groups’ definitions of Bitcoin have played in constituting its current level of value and what this might entail for cryptocurrency’s future.

DESCRIPTION:The study of Black conservatism presents a number of challenges\, but finding the wealth of archival resources necessary to weave this perspective into compelling historical narratives is not one of them. The problem lies\, instead\, with a general unwillingness to look for\, and to look at\, these materials that are\, in many cases\, hiding in plain sight/site/cite.\n\nThis talk takes the history of the 1963 March on Washington as a prime example of this political\, historical\, archival and (arguably) deeply ideological phenomenon. While remembered – and enshrined in our public history – as one of the finest\, defining moments in post-WWII civil rights movement\, the March was heavily contested among African Americans\, with strong arguments against the action put forward from a center-to-right perspective. We are much more likely to memorialize critiques emanating from left-of-center\, such as Malcolm X’s famous “farce on Washington” quip\; but what about those African-American leaders\, activists and intellectuals who rejected plans for the March on “conservative” grounds\, and in defense of a “law and order” politics? The figures who did so – the Reverend J.H. Jackson\, George Schulyer\, James Meredith and others – were hardly marginal. Obscuring their presence flattens out our political history and diminishes the richness and fluidity that has long defined Black political culture.\n\nIn our present moment of echo chamber politics\, it may be time to excavate moments when ideological diversity was very much at play in shaping debates about protest strategies and the meaning of civil rights activism. \n\nAngela D.

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:48737-11297795@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:20180307T123018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180220T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180220T150000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:EXCEL Talk: Calidore String Quartet DESCRIPTION:Join EXCEL for a Q&A discussion with the Calidore String Quartet.

The systems that the Mayes group studies (multiple types of protein-carbohydrate interactions) certainly fall into this category\, with understanding further hindered by the conformational\, stereochemical\, and regiochemical degrees of freedom key to chemical reactions in these systems. Yet\, understanding these elementary mechanisms would not only help answer fundamental questions in biology\, but also improve our ability to harness these systems for applications from renewable energy to pharmaceutical interventions. I will discuss several systems that we are studying\, and focus on our investigations of how enzymes break down plant biomass. I will share how our computational research rationalizes non-intuitive wet-lab observations by revealing mechanisms that do not conform to human intuition. In doing so\, we gather lessons from how nature has evolved efficient enzymes that we can then apply to rational enzyme design.\n\nBio: Heather Mayes is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering. Her research group uses multi-scale modeling to discover protein-sugar interactions and to harness them for renewable energy and improved health. The study of carbohydrate-protein interactions is an important step to create renewable fuels and chemicals from non-food biomass\, and the results can be applied to several human diseases\, including cancer and autoimmune disorders.

My current book project\, Forms of Submission: Writing for Aid and Opportunity in America explores a 125-year history of applications for financial support and college admission\, and the ways institutions address problems with inequality at the level of the applicant’s biography.\n\nThe second area of research emerged from my previous position\, teaching in the Rhetoric Department at The American University in Cairo\, and through an affiliation with the Center for American Studies and Research (CASAR). With Ira Dworkin\, I co-edited a volume of Comparative American Studies on transnational American Studies in the Middle East and North Africa. I also have two forthcoming articles on Egypt\, appearing in The Drama Review and Transition.\n\nThe third area of research represents my latest project as well as a shift from paperwork to logistics\, in an exploration of a little-known back-to-Africa movement that resets the timeline for African American migration to Ghana. Building on research that began as a biography of my ancestor Alfred Charles Sam (1880-1932)\, the book reconstructs the logistical complexity and inspiration for an African organizing African American return to Ghana in 1915. Pan-African Logistics: Chief Sam and the Origins of African American Migration to Ghana identifies African descendants of the movement\, the role of African Americans in an emerging West African nationalism\, and the complex interface between blackness\, business\, and migration.\n\nRecent and Forthcoming Publications\n \n\nApplication Forms/Paperwork:\nSpecial Issue Editor\,\"Biographic Mediation: On the Uses of Disclosure in Bureaucracy and Politics\,\"Biography\, forthcoming 2019.\n\n“Funding the American Dream: On the Biographic Mediation of Aid and Institutional Change in Horatio Alger Scholarship Narratives\, forthcoming\, a/b: journal of auto/biographical studies\, 33.1.\n\n“Biographic Mediation\,” Special Issue on What's Next?

This is the domain in which single atoms\, molecules\, and electronic orbitals move. It also corresponds\, on larger scales\, to the territory of low-energy elementary excitations such as plasmons\, phonons\, and interlevel transitions in excitons. These processes are of particular importance for nanomaterial functionality. Moreover\, they typically survive for only femtoseconds to picoseconds after photoexcitation and can evolve within a single oscillation period.\n\nIn this talk\, I will show how these diverse dynamics can be studied with new techniques that combine terahertz technology with scanning probe microscopy. First\, I will describe how ultrafast near-field microscopy has been employed to perform sub-cycle spectroscopy of single nanoparticles [1]\, reveal hidden structure in correlated electron systems [2]\, and resolve transient interface polaritons in van der Waals heterostructures [3]. Then\, I will discuss the invention and development of a related technique: lightwave-driven terahertz scanning tunneling microscopy [4\,5]. In this novel approach\, the oscillating electric field of a phase-stable\, few-cycle light pulse at a atomically sharp tip can be used to remove a single electron from a single molecular orbital within a time window faster than an oscillation cycle of the terahertz wave. I will show how this technique has been used to take ultrafast snapshot images of the electron density in single molecular orbitals and watch the motion of a single molecule for the first time [5].\n\n[1] M.

As one of nine faculty members university-wide to receive this top faculty honor this year\, Thomas is also the first faculty member at Taubman College to receive this prestigious designation. \n\nThomas is a pre-eminent scholar on how racial inequality and disunity have affected the planning\, evolution\, and redevelopment of cities and their neighborhoods. Her work focuses on economically distressed central cities\, addressing issues of planning theory and socialjustice. Her co-edited book Urban Planning and the African American Community: In the Shadows is a path-breaking exploration of key connections between racial injustice and urban planning. Redevelopment and Race: Planning a Finer City in Postwar Detroit won the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning’s Paul Davidoff Award for urban planning books published in in the area of social justice. She has written or co-edited three additional books related to race and poverty in Detroit and in other depopulated cities in the Midwest as well as dozens of book chapters and articles in scholarly journals. She also has written policy reports for the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan. \n\nHer recent research explores community development in Detroit and the 1960s civil rights movement in Orangeburg\, South Carolina\, where she helped integrate the local high school. Her research has been widely recognized by numerous academic awards including her election as a Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners. She is a prominent and highly effective national advocate for diversity and inclusion of under-represented faculty and students in urban planning academic programs. In 2013 she was named president of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning\, where she encouraged greater racial diversity in the nation’s urban planning schools. \n\nRecognized as an outstanding and inspirational teacher\, Thomas was a founding instructor for the U-M Residential College’s Semester in Detroit program\, teaching at the U-M Detroit Center from 2011 to 2015. Her graduate course in planning theory is a defining experience for many graduate students\, emphasizing ethics and challenging students to consider how the planning process interacts with and affects disadvantaged communities without access to decision-makers. In recognition of her many contributions in the classroom and of her wider service on behalf of a more inclusive University\, Professor Thomas was awarded the 2014 Harold R. Johnson Diversity Service Award. \n\nThomas earned her B.A. from Michigan State University in 1970\, with a major in sociology. Awarded Danforth\, National Science Foundation\, and Woodrow Wilson Fellowships\, she entered the doctoral program in the Urban and Regional Planning Program at the University of Michigan\, earning her Ph.D. in 1977 with a dissertation studying the loss of land ownership among African-Americans in South Carolina. She taught at Michigan State University before accepting a position in 2007 as the Centennial Professor in the Urban and Regional Planning Program of the A. Alfred Taubman College Architecture and Urban Planning.

In tissues\, gradients of oxygen and nutrients extend radially from blood vessels. The gradients in these diffusion-dominated environments increase greatly when a blood vessel is occluded\, or in the case of the tumors\, when the rate of proliferation outpaces the rate of vascularization. The extent of hypoxia in tumors has been correlated with cancer aggressiveness\, drug resistance\, and invasiveness. Gradients of oxygen are also believed to direct cellular invasion from the solid tumor mass to neighboring healthy tissue.\nDespite the pivotal role that oxygen plays in tumor biology\, there are a limited number of in vitro assays able to quantify cellular morphology\, gene- and protein-expression\, or drug sensitivities in well-defined oxygen gradients. Due to the lack of experimental tools\, many studies compare cellular differences at a single normoxic (21% O2) and hypoxic (~0.2% O2) condition. Monolayer cultures are also commonly used in these normoxia-hypoxia comparisons. These experiments provide a simplified view of oxygen-mediated regulation\, overlooking the importance of gradients by exposing cells to a single oxygen and nutrient concentration. Evaluating a limited number of oxygen tensions has led to the inadequate interpretation that cellular responses to oxygen are a binary phenomenon\, eliciting a particular hypoxic phenotype or not.\nWe are developing a 3D culture platform utilizing paper-based scaffolds to prepare tissue- or organ-like structures. We are able to engineer extracellular environments with specific oxygen or nutrient gradients\, and to tease apart the nuanced responses of cells in gradients of different steepness and shape. In this talk\, I will highlight the paper-based culture platform as well as other technologies we are developing to address three long-standing questions in tumor biology. First is the role that oxygen gradients play in directing cellular movement. We have recently shown that oxygen is a chemo-attractant in diffusion-dominated environments\, and are exploring what additional extracellular conditions (e.g.\, gradient steepness\, presence of overlapping nutrient gradients) promote this directed invasion. Second is the oxygen-mediated mechanisms through which hypoxic cells become drug resistant. In particular\, we use invasion assays and tumor-like structures to evaluate the relationship between oxygen tension\, active resistance (upregulation of drug efflux pumps)\, and passive resistance (altered metabolism or halted proliferation). Third is the relationship between hypoxia and hormone responsiveness in estrogen receptor alpha positive (ER+) breast cancers. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMatthew Lockett (University of North Carolina) UID:40780-8750076@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40780 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1600 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171207T084953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180220T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180220T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. State Repression and Collective Action in Egypt DESCRIPTION:Egypt has witnessed thousands of protests over the last decade. In the face of such collective action\, security forces have responded in varied ways\, ranging from tolerating protests to crackdowns using non-deadly force\, to unleashing large-scale lethal repression. What explains these patterns of repression? Which protests were security forces most likely to shut down\, and why? What determined the level of violence that security forces used? Based on extensive fieldwork in Egypt\, Jean Lachapelle will argue that autocrats’ repressive strategies are largely shaped by elite assessments of the risks of a popular backlash—i.e.\, the risk that repression may backfire and cause further mobilization. Empirically\, Lachapelle demonstrates the relationship between backlash risks and patterns of violent repression in Egypt between 2004 and 2015\, using interviews and an original event dataset of protests and police responses.\n \nJean Lachapelle completed his Ph.D. in political science at the University of Toronto in 2017. His current research examines the causes of state violence in authoritarian regimes\, with regional expertise on the Middle East and North Africa. More broadly\, Jean is interested in issues of repression\, revolution\, the relationship between violence and political order\, as well as methods of causal inference in the social sciences. His first book project\, entitled “Determinants of State Repression in Authoritarian Regimes\,” focuses on Egypt (1981-2013) and theorizes the decision-calculus of authoritarian rulers to deploy repression\, using interviews and an original dataset of protests and repressive events collected over the course of 16 months of research in Egypt. As a Weiser Center postdoctoral fellow\, Jean will complete his book manuscript and work on related projects that test and expand its key arguments. In particular\, he will conduct a cross-national study of Syria\, Tunisia\, Iraq\, and Egypt since the mid-20th century that explains why these countries exhibit divergent patterns of state repression.

Established in April 2010\, the MAOTE includes musicians from the greater Detroit community\; and performs classical and contemporary Arab music otherwise known as tarab music\, characterized by its melodic modes known as maqāmāt (sing. maqām) and complex rhythmic modes (iqā’at). It is also distinguished by the art of improvisation\, or taqāsim\, during which a musician outlines a melodic mode and/or modulates to other related modes. The audience plays an extremely important role in tarab music\, since listeners (sami’ah) will often respond with applause during and after a musician’s improvised solos.

This was accomplished by using a series of HLE items to characterize the potential heterogeneity in the HLE of Spanish-speaking families as well as by examining differences in the HLE based on caregiver’s language proficiency\, income\, and education level. The specific aims were: (1) to characterize distinct classes of the home literacy environment of Spanish-speaking Latino households for a sample of children from Kindergarten to Grade 2\; (2) to assess the predictive ability of caregiver’s English proficiency\, caregiver’s income\, and caregiver’s education on class membership\; (3) to examine the predictive ability of the resulting HLE classes on a child-level reading outcome in Grade 2\; and (4) to describe evidence of stability or change in the HLE profiles across the first three years of formal schooling (i.e.\, Kindergarten to Grade 2). Methodologically\, this study focused on the application of Latent Class Analysis (LCA) using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study – 2011 cohort (ECLS-K: 2011). Findings revealed different levels of HLE supports (low\, moderate\, and high). Three latent classes characterized Kindergarten and four latent classes characterized Grade 2. Covariates predicted class membership in different and interesting ways that helped further characterize the HLE classes. For the most part\, there were no significant differences in the various class means of the Grade 2 reading outcome. Across time\, there appears to be some mobility of families going from a low to a higher HLE support. Implications of findings and future directions will be discussed.

The project\, led by the Institute for the Humanities\, symbolizes the humanities in action\, and the empowerment that can be achieved through working together\, overcoming obstacles and divides\, and discovering creative solutions.\n\nMacmurtrie is an award winning artist\, renowned internationally for his large-scale robotic sculpture\, whose work combines materiality and robotics\, the visceral and conceptual. His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

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:47322-10866233@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

He was a man who knew many things. After retiring to Hangzhou\, he tells us\, “I spent long days at the Pine Window\, writing things out as the brush goes\, partly to examine into myself\, and partly to pass down to those who come after me.” The result was his Dream Talk by the Pine Window (松窗梦语). There was a history of such works going back at least to the Song\; they are generally categorized as biji or “brush records\,” a genre so broad in name as to be almost useless\, and they are usually miscellanies with no sense of organization. Zhang Han’s Pine Window\, however\, begins with a geographic overview of the empire based on his travels as an official\, and runs neatly through the universe down to his dreams and examination of self. It thus is both a personal memoir and a comprehensive encyclopedia of knowledge. What does that suggest is worth passing down from a life? Is an official what he knows? If a memoir becomes an encyclopedia\, does its writer disappear? And where does this lie in the Ming dynasty landscape of organized knowledge?\n\nAbout the speaker: \n\nPhilip Kafalas is an associate professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures in the College\, and a member of the faculty advisory committee for the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues. Kafalas published In Limpid Dream: Nostalgia and Zhang Dai’s Reminiscences of the Ming (2007). His teaching and research interests center on classical and pre-modern Chinese literature\, as well as advanced modern Chinese language.

It measures the charge\, energy and momentum of charged cosmic rays with unprecedented precisions from 1GV to a few TV in rigidity. AMS has collected and analyzed more than 100 billion cosmic ray events during 6 years of operation since May 2011. In this talk we report the latest AMS measurements of the cosmic ray spectra of electron\, positron\, proton\, antiproton\, and light nuclei\, including He\, Li\, Be\, B\, and C\, O. Unexpected characteristics of the spectra are observed. They provide important new inputs for the study of fundamental physics as well as understanding the mechanism of cosmic ray acceleration and propagation.\n\nBiosketch: Yuan-Hann Chang is a professor in the Physics Department of the National Central University\, Chung-Li\, Taiwan.

DESCRIPTION:If hosting a mega sport event is a measure of success in the sport system of a nation\, South Korea is one of sport powerhouses that have hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympics\, the FIFA World Cup\, and the IAAF World Championships (track and field event). Hosting cities often experience drastic makeovers with an enhanced civic infrastructure but also are left with white elephant stadiums and huge debt. Pyeongchang is no exception. While the 1988 Seoul Olympics were a resounding success with millions of South Koreans attending events and tuning in on television\, critics concern that the Pyeongchang Games will not receive such national support. The Pyeongchang Olympics Organizing Committee (OOC) has been struggling with slow ticket sales and lack of enthusiasm from the public. Geopolitics and escalating tensions with North Korea aside\, I will review other reasons for the lack of interest. In addition\, I will briefly review the development of sport system in Korea between the two Olympics and lessons we can learn from hosting the Winter Games. \n \nDae Hee Kwak is an Associate Professor of Sport Management in the School of Kinesiology.

Testing for Long Run Relationships under Uncertainty Over Univariate Dynamics DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: Pesaran\, Shin\, and Smith (2001) (PSS) proposed a bounds procedure for testing for the existence of long run relationships between a unit root ependent variable (y_t) and a set of weakly exogenous regressors x_t when the analyst does not know whether the independent variables are stationary\, unit root\, or mutually cointegrated processes. This procedure recognizes the analyst's uncertainty over the nature of the regressors but not the dependent variable. We extend their analysis to the case where the analyst is uncertain whether y_t is a stationary or unit root process. In this case\, the test statistics proposed by PSS are uninformative for inference on the existence of a long run relationship between y_t and x_t. We propose the LRM test statistic as an alternative. Using stochastic simulations\, we demonstrate the behavior of the test statistic given uncertainty about the univariate dynamics of both y_t and x_t\, illustrate the bounds of the test statistic\, and generate small sample and approximate asymptotic critical values for the upper and lower bounds for a range of sample sizes and model specifications. We demonstrate the utility of the bounds procedure by re-examining the relationship between economic conditions and domestic policy mood.\n\nYou can see the list of upcoming speakers on our website [https://www.isr.umich.edu/cps/events/isqm/].

Kropf (Oswaldo Cruz Foundation/Fiocruz\, Brazil)\nJoel D. Howell (University of Michigan)\n\nThe United States and Brazil became close allies in World War II\, not only in political\, economic and military issues\, but also in social and cultural ones\, including science. Inter-American cultural diplomacy aimed to promote “hemispheric solidarity” against Nazism created channels through which scientific ideas and technologies could circulate. This talk is about one of those flows\, between the University of Michigan Medical School and Brazilian physicians engaged in the study and treatment of heart disease. Frank Wilson was a pioneer in electrocardiography who trained many Latin Americans in his laboratory at the University of Michigan. In 1942\, he made an extended wartime visit to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo sponsored by the US Department of State as part of Roosevelt’s Good Neighbor Policy. The visit brought Wilson together with a group of physicians engaged in constructing the specialty of cardiology in Brazil. This initiative strengthened an academic network that would benefit both sides. While affiliation with the “Wilson school” advanced the cause of Brazilian cardiologists who sought to establish themselves as specialists\, cooperation with those “neighbors from the South” and the identity as a scientific ambassador to Latin America benefited Wilson in his pursuit of international recognition for his ECG innovations. Wilson’s relationship to Brazilian cardiology illustrates close relations between science\, technology and politics in a context of wartime cultural diplomacy\, as well as the dynamics of the transnational circulation of scientific knowledge and practices.\n\nThis research was supported by the UM Brazil Initiative at the Center of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS) (website: https://www.ii.umich.edu/lacs/brazil-initiative.html)\, the Brazilian Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz\, Brazil).\n\nSimone P. Kropf holds a PhD in History from the Universidade Federal Fluminense\, in Brazil\, and is a professor in the Graduate Program of the History of Sciences and Health in Oswaldo Cruz Foundation\, in Rio de Janeiro. She is currently pursuing a postdoctoral research visit at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS). She has written about the history of biomedical sciences in Brazil in the 20th century. She is currently doing research on the cultural and educational exchanges between the University of Michigan and Latin American countries between 1938 and 1945\, in the context of the Pan-Americanism movement and the Good Neighbor Policy.\n\nJoel D. Howell\, MD\, PhD is a faculty member in the Department of History and Internal Medicine\, and is the Victor C. Vaughan Professor of History of Medicine at the University of Michigan. His primary research interest is in the use of medical technology in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Dr. Javed will highlight the political and social dynamics of mass violence in the early Maoist period.\n\nWang Qingsong's exhibit\, \"Between Past and Future: Wang Qingsong 1999-2006\" has been extended through February 23 and will be the site of the artist/faculty conversation on Feb. 21\n\nIn the neighborhoods of Detroit\, extensive vacancy and abandonment have led to new ways that people remake disinvested space—ruins voyeurism gives way to residents\, artists\, and entrepreneurs curating spaces in their own vision and as template for the future of the city. By comparing Beijing and Detroit\, Qingsong seeks to mix these two cities’ stories together\, creating a new overtone for the ongoing challenges of global societies. This project contributes to the hope for another narrative to city building\, one that uncovers traces of the past\, its erasures and demolitions\, while engaging with the community through artistic practice to construct a new\, vibrant vision for urban regeneration. \n\nWANG Qingsong is an artist\, educator and curator based in Beijing whose large format photographic works have been exhibited across the globe at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries www.wangqingsong.com. He has created a series of works showing the history of once glorious cities-the lost memories found behind broken walls\, deserted warehouses and closed doors. Just as Beijing\, an ancient city brimming with history and tradition\, has experienced the disruption and destruction of rapid modernism\, so Qingsong finds Detroit grappling with a similar history as it reconfigures itself for the future. \n\nWith support from U-M International Institute\, Penny W.

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.

The project\, led by the Institute for the Humanities\, symbolizes the humanities in action\, and the empowerment that can be achieved through working together\, overcoming obstacles and divides\, and discovering creative solutions.\n\nMacmurtrie is an award winning artist\, renowned internationally for his large-scale robotic sculpture\, whose work combines materiality and robotics\, the visceral and conceptual. His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

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:47322-10866234@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

Rai Shizu’s (1760–1843) network centers around families of Confucian scholars in the late Edo period who all shared similar goals. Though administratively a household was a male-centered organization—and we will encounter many fathers\, brothers and sons—women in their roles as mothers\, daughters\, and wives were indispensable for the maintenance and continuation of a household in addition to keeping up relations with other families. \n\nThe talk will introduce the Japanese Biographical Database:\nhttps://www.network-studies.org/#!/\n\nThe records of Rai Shizu—a diary kept for over fifty years and many letters—offer a wealth of materials that make clear her role and position in the family endeavor. We will accompany Shizu in her relations when a young wife and mother in the castle town of Hiroshima. While her husband Shunsui stayed in Edo on duty on and off for almost twelve years\, Shizu ran the household\, was responsible for her children’s education\, and was the important link in the family network. In her mature years\, when Shunsui returned and the children were older\, the couple’s house continued to be the center of the extended family and students. Even as a widow and of advanced age\, Shizu was never able to let go of her household duties or directing the family’s fortune.\n\nBettina Gramlich-Oka is professor of Japanese history at Sophia University\, Tokyo. Her current research interest combines intellectual networks\, economic thought\, and gender in the late Edo period.

Neurons must last a lifetime\, but their proteins turn over in hours or weeks. Although a mitochondrion may be needed in a distant synapse\, the genes that encode its proteins are mainly encoded in the nucleus. Axonal transport of mitochondria is a crucial part of the solution\, but so too is the transport of mRNA to support the local synthesis of mitochondrial proteins. The need for local synthesis is particularly acute in the case of the Parkinson’s disease protein PINK1\; absent such synthesis\, acutely damaged mitochondria cannot be cleared rapidly by mitophagy.\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided UID:47530-10942715@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47530 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Life Science,Science LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180108T104838 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180222T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180222T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:P&SC Brown Bag DESCRIPTION:The role of popular culture figures in young Black men's conceptualization of masculinity UID:47558-10950462@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47558 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Psychology LOCATION:East Hall - 4464 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180220T130834 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180222T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180222T140000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Anishinaabe Worldview with Renee Gurneau DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us for a conversation with Renee Gurneau about Anishinaabe World View on Thursday\, February 22 from 12pm-2pm in the East Quad Greene Lounge.

This contest will be judged by a panel of three faculty members. The entries will be identified only by the student’s university ID number\, making the judging anonymous. There will be monetary prizes of $150 for first place\, $125 for second place\, and $100 for third place!\n\nParticipants: All undergraduate University of Michigan students currently enrolled in a German course or who are registered as a German major or minor are welcome to participate.\n\nRegistration: All contest participants are required to register for the contest by 5 p.m. on Monday\, February 19! To register contact Andrew Mills: ajmills@umich.edu.\n\nAlternative times: If students can demonstrate that they cannot make the contest time due to their class schedule or work schedule constraints\, an alternative time and location can be arranged. This alternative time must be arranged and confirmed before 5 p.m. on Monday\, February 19\, and must take place at some point during the day of Thursday\, February 22.\n\nContest Rules: The contest will be held under the same conditions used by the American Translators Association (ATA) for its certification exam. Students will have 70 minutes to translate a text by hand that will be provided for them. The translation will be from German to English. The contest will be held in “open book” format. Students will not have access to the internet\, but may bring and use as many hardback or paperback dictionaries as they wish. All students receive the same text\, which will be approximately 225-275 words in length. The contest must be written in (dark) pencil capable of being photo-copied for our judges. Students must bring their own pencils. Paper will be provided. \n\nThe text to be translated will be “general” in nature. This text expresses a view\, sets forth an argument\, or presents an idea or situation. Examples include: a newspaper article\, an essay\, or a passage from a non-fiction book. The contest passage is chosen in such a way as to avoid highly specialized terminology requiring research. There are\, however\, terminology challenges in the text\, and knowledge of German culture\, society\, and history often is necessary for contestants to excel. \n\nChallenge yourself! The worst that could happen is you discover how things stand with your translation skills. The best thing that could happen: you win some money! \n\nAccommodations may be made for participants who demonstrate that they cannot write the text by hand. Please contact Andrew Mills at ajmills@umich.edu by 5 p.m. on Monday\, February 19.

If used from the start of the design process it is a key element in multidisciplinary design optimization that would lead to more efficient aircraft. The technology has been known and pursued for more than 50 years and yet only recently has it seen civil-aircraft acceptance with strict limitations by government certification authorities. While used in some cases on military aircraft\, it has not been accepted for wide spread application by militaries around the world. \n\nBecause of its wide multidisciplinary nature and the tight interdisciplinary interactions involved\, Active Flutter Suppression\, part of the field known as Aeroservoelasticity\, is\, from a technical perspective\, at the heart of aeronautics. The talk will describe key milestones\, the state of the art\, and key challenges in making this technology widely accepted with\, potentially\, a resulting major impact on aircraft design.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nProfessor Livne holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in aeronautical engineering from the Technion\, Israel\, and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the UCLA. He served in the Israeli Air Force in various research and development roles\, eventually founding its aeroelasticity / structural dynamic branch\, which he led for ten years\, working on the aeroservoelastic and design aspects of numerous aircraft systems. Among other responsibilities he was the head of the engineering team that brought the first F16s to Israel and he was in charge\, for the Israeli Ministry of Defense\, of the aeroservoelastic development of the Israel Aircraft Industries Lavie Fighter Jet.\n\nAfter graduating UCLA Prof. Livne joined the faculty of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington in 1990. Over the course of his academic career\, Prof. Livne has continued extensive collaboration with both industry and defense organizations. Highlights of these collaborations include structural and aeroelastic optimization and lightweight airframe design with Boeing Commercial Aircraft\, contributions to the NASA High Speed Civil Transport project\, and contributions to industry / government wind tunnel aeroelastic tests of highly nonlinear flight vehicle configurations.\n\nProf. Livne heads the airplane design education and research program at the University of Washington. With expertise in aeroelasticty\, aeroservoelasticity\, multidisciplinary flight vehicle optimization\, aircraft design\, aerospace structures\, structural optimization\, and structural dynamics\, Professor Livne's research has been funded by NASA\, the FAA\, AFOSR\, ONR\, NSF\, and by Boeing. He is a Fellow of the AIAA and currently\, the Editor-in-Chief of the AIAA's Journal of Aircraft.

Historically\, in both southern African American life and in the tenuous strivings of the 19th century working underclass\, the primary care and comfort of others fell to women. Beyond impersonal household chores\, these responsibilities entwined with sweetness and hope\, heartache and loss\, assured the wellbeing of those around them. How did they balance the tangle of necessity and demand against their own emotional involvements and aspirations? Labors of Love and Loss is a tribute to the resolve\, commitment and fortitude of women’s love and labor.\n\nMarianetta Porter is Professor of Art and Design at Stamps School of Art and Design. Her work is grounded in the study of African American history\, culture\, and representation\, drawing on ethnography\, religious traditions\, folklore\, visual culture\, and language to investigate the consequences of the trans-Atlantic slave trade\, the vernacular art of the black church\, the politics of visibility\, and the poetics of color.\n\nLisa Olson is a mixed media artist and alumna of the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art and Design. Her work takes a variety of forms---books\, prints\, collage\, drawing and sculptural objects. Olson often uses text in combination with visual components to create meaning. Her interests include studies surrounding the fragility of the individual within historically harsh or oppressive class related social structures and the resulting tools and systems created as strategies to navigate through. \n\nAn artist talk will take place in Lane Hall (Room 2239) on Thursday\, February 22 at 4:00pm. Each artist will speak individually about her work with time for audience questions. Following the talk\, there will be an opening reception in Lane Hall Gallery (1st Floor) to enjoy the artwork and light refreshments. This event is free and open to the public.\n\nThis exhibit is co-sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Women’s Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Residential College\, Department of American Culture\, Institute for the Humanities\, and the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.\n\nExhibit will be on public display January - July 2018 UID:49134-11375520@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49134 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:African American,Art,Exhibition,History,Visual Arts,Women's Studies LOCATION:Lane Hall - 2239 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180215T152033 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180222T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180222T173000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Naturalistic language experiments: opportunities\, challenges and progress DESCRIPTION:Due to the complexity of language processing\, most neurobiology-of-language studies focus on answering a specific hypothesis by using highly controlled stimuli. I will argue that naturalistic experiments along with predictive modeling provide a promising alternative to the controlled approach. I will outline some details of the naturalistic approach using a specific example in which subjects read a complex natural text while their functional neuroimaging data is acquired using fMRI and MEG. I will describe how to use natural language processing tools in order to build encoding models that predict brain activity as a function of the different semantic\, syntactic and discourse features of the stimulus. The performance of these models allows us to formulate and test hypotheses about the functions of different brain regions and build detailed spatiotemporal brain language maps. Importantly\, I will comment on the interpretation of the results of naturalisticexperiments\, what they can tell us\, what they can't tell us\, and how to situate them in the broader neurobiology-of-language literature. I will address some of the main arguments against the naturalistic approach by showing several current projects aimed at (i) directly comparing the results of naturalistic and controlled experiments and (ii) modeling the effect of the language task -- such as language production or comprehension -- on the brain's language representations. I will end by describing an overarching framework in which naturalistic experiments and controlled experiments go hand-in-hand to study how information is represented and accessed during language processing.

Drawing on research examining the political uses of lament and grief\, the lecture considers the role Serbian women played in controlling and directing the “passion of grief and anger” within their communities as they remembered the dead. The photographic evidence reveals that traditional death rituals and laments were performed and that these rituals were significant socio-political spaces where women\, families\, and communities of soldiers advanced claims or recognition of their wartime experiences and memories. \n\nMelissa Bokovoy is a professor at the University of New Mexico.

However\, a significant challenge of utilizing early transition metals for catalytic redox processes is that they typically do not undergo facile oxidation state changes because of the thermodynamic stability of their high oxidation states. We have recently discovered that Ti imidos (LnTi=NR) can catalyze oxidative nitrene transfer reactions from diazenes via a TiII/TiIV redox couple\, and are using this new mode of reactivity to develop a large suite of practical synthetic methods. In this talk\, our latest synthetic and mechanistic discoveries related to Ti nitrene transfer catalysis will be discussed\, including new synthetic methods for the modular\, selective construction of pyrroles via [2+2+1] cycloaddition of alkynes with Ti nitrenes and alkynes\, as well as new methods for catalytic oxidative carboamination of other unsaturated organics by Ti nitrenes. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nIan Tonks (University of Minnesota) UID:48788-11308872@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48788 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180216T154207 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180222T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180222T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CHIKAGO DESCRIPTION:**reading in German with projected English translation**\n\nTheodora Bauer is the author of two novels as well as stories and philosophical essays.

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.

The project\, led by the Institute for the Humanities\, symbolizes the humanities in action\, and the empowerment that can be achieved through working together\, overcoming obstacles and divides\, and discovering creative solutions.\n\nMacmurtrie is an award winning artist\, renowned internationally for his large-scale robotic sculpture\, whose work combines materiality and robotics\, the visceral and conceptual. His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

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:47322-10866235@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Wild animals\, including our closest relatives\, chimpanzees\, can live long and complex social lives. How do we categorize the types of social interactions they have\, and monitor how these form\, persist\, and change over a lifetime\, or when catastrophe strikes? Rachna will discuss methods traditionally employed to answer these questions and will present a case study in her own research on adolescent chimpanzees who lost their mothers during a respiratory epidemic and began to care for their younger siblings (pictured below). The group will discuss the issues of attempting to infer the thoughts of a member of another species with whom we cannot speak and how we can do so with awareness of our observational biases in field conditions. In addition to the behavioral methods Rachna employs\, she will discuss how genetic and hormonal data are used to answer questions about social relationships in wild animals.

This group will not require preparation prior to the meetings. The format of the reading group will be a slow but deep dive into the Investigations by reading aloud and then discussing the book\, section by section. We hope to make it through 5 to 10 sections each meeting. After the discussion on a section dries up\, we’ll move to the next section until the hour and a half of the meeting is over. This design is meant to accommodate busy schedules\, and it also should be amenable to varying degrees of familiarity with the Investigations and Wittgenstein’s other work.\n\nWe will meet on various Fridays from 1:30-3:00pm. Location: Angell Hall 3184. All interested faculty\, staff\, and graduate students are welcome to attend. RSVP to Bryan Kim-Butler (bkimbutl@umich.edu) and Ben Mangrum (bmangrum@umich.edu). If you can’t make it for the first meeting but are interested\, please let us know and we’ll add you to the mailing list.\n\nWe'll bring photocopies of the sections likely to be read and discussed each meeting.

Its properties\, such as its mass and interactions\, remain largely unknown. Unveiling the properties of DM is one of the most important tasks in high energy physics. For the past few years\, motivated by possible new physics at the electroweak scale\, many DM experiments have looked for DM with mass at O(100) GeV. This is not the only possibility\, however. Large chunks of parameter space supported by other well-motivated models remain to be carefully studied. Exploring these regimes requires creative ideas and advanced technologies. I will first talk about the novel proposal on using superconductor as the target material for DM direct detection. This setup has the potential to lower the direct detection mass threshold from few GeV to keV\, consequently probing the warm dark matter scenario. Then I will present a recent proposal utilizing the Gravitational Wave (GW) experiments\, i.e. LIGO and LISA\, to search for ultra-light dark photon dark matter. We show these GW experiments can go well beyond existing constraints and probe large regions of unexplored parameter space. Both proposals are under serious investigation by experimental groups and likely to be carried out in the near future.

DESCRIPTION:Shallow-water carbonate sediments are one of the most extensive and well-studied records of the chemistry and temperature of ancient oceans (Kasting et al.\, 2006\; Veizer et al.\, 1999\; Veizer and Hoefs\, 1976). One of the major limitations in the utilization of this archive is the potential for changes in the chemical composition of the sediments at any time after they were initially precipitated. Using a large data set of Ca and Mg isotope measurements in Neogene shallow-water carbonate sediments and associated pore-fluids from the platform to the slope in the Bahamas we have shown that stratigraphic variability in these isotopic systems is due to variations in both mineralogy and style of diagenetic alteration (fluid-buffered vs. sediment-buffered). This interpretation is rather counterintuitive given that these elements\, and Ca in particular\, are major components of the carbonate sediment and should be relatively robust – almost as robust as C – to diagenetic alteration.\n\nThe observation that sediment δ44Ca values in Neogene shallow-water carbonate sediments from the platform top\, margin\, and slope are largely controlled by mineralogy and the extent of fluid-buffered early marine diagenesis and that temporal variations in fluid-buffered diagenesis can generate stratigraphically coherent co-variation between many carbonate-bound geochemical proxies (δ13C\, δ18O\, Sr/Ca\, etc.) has significant implications for the interpretation of both the major and trace element chemistry of shallow-water carbonate sediments in the geologic record. In particular\, it suggests that stratigraphic co-variation between carbonate-bound geochemical proxies need not reflect changes in the global geochemical cycles of these elements but rather changes in the composition of bank-top waters and/or the extent of fluid-buffered vs. sediment-buffered early marine diagenesis. Thus\, records of secular change and extreme variability in shallow-water carbonate sediments might be better interpreted as records of the effects of global environmental change and evolution on shallow-water carbonate-producing environments and not archives of global geochemical fluxes (e.g. the relative rates of organic carbon and carbonate burial from the δ13C of CaCO3).

Most of the glycosidic potential within the Bacteroidetes is packaged into discrete polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) that each encode a series of enzymes and cell-surface proteins that coordinate with a cognate TonB-dependent transporter in order to bind\, degrade and import carbohydrate nutrition. PUL-encoded carbohydrate processing systems are referred to as “Sus-like systems” after the starch utilization system first described in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. However\, since the discovery of the Sus\, similar systems have been found in the genomes of every gut associated Bactetoidetes\, extending a Sus-like paradigm for glycan uptake within this Bacterial phylum. Our work over the past few years has described the protein structures of the surface glycan binding proteins (SGBPs) found within the Sus of B. thetaiotaomicron\, as well other PUL-encoded Sus like systems that target different glycans. Here we describe our current work to determine how the SGBPs of various human gut Bacteroides species allow the cells to select and import specific glycans from the intestinal environment.

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. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

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.
