Yet\, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!\n\nFind new opportunities at teach-out.org.

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.

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.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

It moves through networks of power and capital\, through corporate establishments\, governmental alliances\, international organizations\, transnational social movements\, and media and technology. These networks of power deconstruct and restructure forms and relations of production—emergent and old. They also produce new social and material assemblages within which spatial knowledge is constantly re-visited and re-organized. The resulting socio-technical formations ultimately reconfigure both the products of\, and knowledge within\, the fields of architecture\, planning\, and affiliated disciplines.\n\nHow do we understand the networks of power and knowledge and the implicit human condition that sustains and transforms architecture and planning practices? At a juncture where our logic and systems of production are becoming digitized and automatized at an unprecedented pace\, and when our understanding of the networks and technologies of information are increasingly inseparable from questions of hardware and software\, of the accumulation and classification of electronic data\, the human mediation of knowledge acquires a new significance. The global phenomenon of post-truth politics equally urges us to re-scrutinize the Foucauldian premise of “knowledge as power.”\n\nIn this highly networked era of the Anthropocene\, we want to explore the interactions between people\, ideas\, institutions\, infrastructures and material objects\, especially as these pertain to architecture and planning knowledge\, in order to reflect on issues including but not limited to: political economies\, ecologies and geographies\, poverty\, inequality\, warfare\, mass re/dis-location of people\, invasion and occupation of lands and territories.\n\nConference Keynote Friday\, March 9: Kazys Varnelis\, PhD\, Director of the Urban Architecture Lab UID:50332-11710226@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50332 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Graduate Students,Urban Planning LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180309T181538 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T100000 SUMMARY:Other:Thesis Defense: \"A quaternary Lewis base reductive aldol towards isopalhinine A\" DESCRIPTION: \n \n \nYvonne DePorre (Advisor: Corinna Schindler) UID:50505-11785336@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50505 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180529T094952 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T223000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Workshop on Poverty and Inequality DESCRIPTION:This workshop series\, sponsored by Poverty Solutions\, is designed to engage PhD students in an ongoing dialogue on poverty in America and to explore poverty-related research. \n\nFall 2018 speakers and dates TBD.\n\nInterested students are invited to contact Poverty Solutions Administrative Coordinator Damien Siwik at dsiwik@umich.edu.

The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) — a network infrastructure where physical devices are embedded with software\, sensors and actuators using network connectivity to enable the collection and exchange of data\, and the execution of actions — has transformed manufacturing systems by integrating the manufacturing system with sensors and actuators on the factory floor. Thus far\, most of the work on IoT-enabled manufacturing systems has focused on the integration of the large volumes of data gathered with IoT-devices and their transformation into useful information. To become smarter\, manufacturing systems need to close the loop and transform IoT data into manufacturing knowledge and useful actions. Closing the loop will allow manufacturing systems to become more responsive to market changes and customer desires\, and will improve production quality\, asset utilization\, and profitability. To realize these goals\, the future of IoT-enabled manufacturing requires closer collaboration between experts in control\, manufacturing\, and information systems. This talk will provide an overview of recent work in the Barton/Tilbury Research Groups at the University of Michigan focused on Smart Manufacturing\, and identify new opportunities for control engineers within the manufacturing sector.

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.

Taylor has received the Lannan Foundation’s Cultural Freedom Award for an Especially Notable Book.\n\nTaylor’s research examines racial inequality\, social movements\, and public policy\, including American housing policies. Dr. Taylor is currently working on a manuscript titled “Race for Profit: Black Housing and the Urban Crisis of the 1970s”\, which looks at the federal government's promotion of single- family homeownership in Black communities after the urban rebellions of the 1960s.

For instance\, the outcome may be disease status and the variables may be hundreds of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms on the genome. In this talk\, we develop an entirely new read of the knockoffs framework of Barber and Candès (2015)\, which proposes a general solution to perform variable selection under rigorous type-I error control\, without relying on strong modeling assumptions. We show how to apply this solution to a rich family of problems where the distribution of the covariates can be described by a hidden Markov model (HMM). In particular\, we develop an exact and efficient algorithm to sample knockoff copies of an HMM\, and then argue that combined with the knockoffs selective framework\, they provide a natural and powerful tool for performing principled inference in genome-wide association studies with guaranteed FDR control. Finally\, our methodology is applied to several datasets aimed at studying the Crohn's disease and several continuous phenotypes\, e.g. levels of cholesterol. Time permitting\, we will discuss the robustness of our methods. \n\nThis is joint work with many people who will be all highlighted during the lecture.\n\nBio: Emmanuel Candès is the Barnum-Simons Chair in Mathematics and Statistics\, a professor of electrical engineering (by courtesy) and a member of the Institute of Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University. Earlier\, Candès was the Ronald and Maxine Linde Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology. His research interests are in computational harmonic analysis\, statistics\, information theory\, signal processing and mathematical optimization with applications to the imaging sciences\, scientific computing and inverse problems. He received his Ph.D. in statistics from Stanford University in 1998. Candès has received several awards including the Alan T. \nWaterman Award from NSF\, which is the highest honor bestowed by the National Science Foundation\, and which recognizes the achievements of early-career scientists. He has given over 60 plenary lectures at major international conferences\, not only in mathematics and statistics but in many other areas as well including biomedical imaging and solid-state physics. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2014.\n\n*Welcome reception at 11:00 am in the Statistics Lounge\, 450 West Hall\n** Buffet reception immediately following in 337 West Hall (Don Meyer Commons) UID:48867-11317271@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48867 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180119T140454 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180309T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Ruth Gruber\, Photojournalist\" Art Exhibition DESCRIPTION:\"Ruth Gruber\, Photojournalist\" celebrates the remarkable life\, vision\, and heroic tenacity of a 20th-century pioneer and trailblazer.

The Unfilled Vacuum: ASEAN and American Decline in Southeast Asia DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, Southeast Asian states fear that the United States is an unreliable ally. This feeling has been growing since the end of the Cold War. In the 1990s\, the US and Southeast Asian clashed over the “Asian values debate” and predatory American actions during the Asian economic crisis. In the 2000s\, Southeast Asia was alarmed by growing American imperial overstretch in the aftermath of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The inability of the Obama administration to “rebalance” American foreign policy towards the Asia Pacific was a further cause for concern. Today\, the erratic behavior of the Trump administration is adding to regional instability and uncertainty. A security vacuum is opening in Southeast Asia. China wants to fill this vacuum\, but it is distrusted in the larger region. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) sees one of its purposes as shaping the regional security environment. Can it fill the hole left by the changing American regional role?

Such scalars are often taken to have Higgs-like couplings to SM fermions in order to evade stringent flavor bounds\, e.g. by assuming Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV)\, which leads to a rather characteristic phenomenology. Here we describe an alternative approach\, based on an effective field theory framework for a new scalar that dominantly couples to one specific SM fermion mass eigenstate. A simple flavor hypothesis\, similar in spirit to MFV\, ensures adequate suppression of new flavor changing neutral currents. We consider radiatively generated flavor changing neutral currents and scalar potential terms in such theories\, demonstrating that they are often suppressed by small Yukawa couplings\, and also describe the role of CP symmetry. We further demonstrate that such scalars can have masses that are significantly below the electroweak scale while still being technically natural\, provided they are sufficiently weakly coupled to ordinary matter. In comparison to MFV\, our framework is rather versatile since a single (or a few) desired scalar couplings may be investigated in isolation. We illustrate this by discussing in detail the examples of an up-specific scalar mediator to dark matter and a muon-specific scalar that may address the muon anomalous magnetic moment discrepancy.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know.

Higgins DESCRIPTION:In the early 1960s in New York City\, the electronic composer James Tenney held a series of seminars on the offices of the Something Else Press. Working by day in the sound department of Bell Labs in New Jersey\, Tenney was tuned in to the emerging capabilities of FORTRAN\, a programming language\, for artists. Artists programmed early computer music\, graphics and poetry using Bell Labs mainframes with Tenney's inspired guidance. One of these projects\, by Fluxus artist Alison Knowles\, is called the House of Dust\, and resulted in a 2000 long sequence of iterative quatrains. The program for the house continues to inspire experiments in architecture\, poetry\, performance and sound. This lecture introduces the seminar and its many outcomes and the House of Dust and its many materials.

The mechanism is followed by an aftermarket\, that is\, a post-mechanism game played between the agent who acquired the good and third-party market participants. The designer has preferences over final outcomes\, but she cannot redesign the aftermarket. However\, she can influence its information structure by disclosing information elicited by the mechanism.\n\nI introduce a class of allocation and disclosure rules\, called cutoff rules\, that disclose information about the buyer’s type only by revealing information about the random threshold (cutoff) that she had to outbid to win the object. A rule is implementable regardless of the form of the aftermarket and the underlying distribution of types if and only if it is a cutoff rule. Cutoff mechanisms are tractable\, and admit an indirect implementation that often makes them easy to use in practice. I provide sufficient conditions for particularly simple designs\, such as a second-price auction with disclosure of the price\, to be optimal within the class of cutoff mechanisms.\n\nThe theory is illustrated with an application to the design of trading rules and post-transaction transparency in financial over-the-counter markets.

Both have deep waters devoid of oxygen\, have lower sulfur contents than the modern ocean\, and have biogeochemical cycles predominantly driven by microbes. Through two stratified and iron-rich lakes in Minnesota and Michigan\, my group is studying the significance of iron-based photosynthesis in primary productivity and its potential biosignatures\, methane production\, consumption and export in iron-rich (i.e. ferruginous) waters\, as well as primary and diagenetic mineral and isotopic signatures of these systems that are recorded in sediments. While our findings are relevant to Precambrian biogeochemistry\, I will present evidence that these small\, stratified ferruginous lakes might be fairly common in the Midwest\, and perhaps are becoming more so. Therefore\, our findings from monitoring these two lakes are also relevant to trends in our region’s water quality\, and the contribution of similar lakes to global greenhouse gas\, nutrient\, and metal cycles.

The Kieft Lab is interested in understanding how RNA can adopt diverse three-dimensional folds\, how those folds give rise to its many biological roles\, and how conformational changes confer RNA’s ability to regulate so many processes. We are particularly interested in viral RNAs\, which are fine-tuned by evolution to elegantly and powerfully interact with and manipulate the cellular machinery of the host cell\; these viral RNAs provide a “window” into the greater RNA world. In this presentation\, I will present some of our recent findings in regard to a viral RNA that adopts an unexpected tertiary structure. This RNA element undergoes programmed conformational changes that are triggered by its interactions with the host cell machinery and this is responsible for its unique function. This RNA may be a paradigm for novel modes of regulation linked to dynamic RNA conformational changes.

Seating is first come\, first served.\nIn the 1980s\, Japan’s strong trade surplus and currency were causing friction and antagonism overseas. In response\, three renowned Japanese artists—Ikko Tanaka\, Shigeo Fukuda\, and Kazumasa Nagai—took on the challenge of changing Japan’s global image through graphic design. These designers\, and others like them\, were passionate about fostering creative relationships with the international design community to enrich their theoretical and artistic practice and create an exchange with lasting impacts across geographic boundaries. On the occasion of the UMMA exhibition 'Red Circle: Designing Japan in Contemporary Posters\,' and to commemorate the gift of nearly 100 posters by the three artists from the DNP Foundation for Cultural Promotion\, UMMA’s Curator of Asian Art\, Natsu Oyobe\, will talk with Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo\, graphic designer and professor at the Stamps School of Art and Design\, about the significance of these artists and their global exchange in the field of graphic design\, as well as\, take a closer look at the powerful language of simple forms\, vivid color\, and humor that they employed to foster a deeper understanding of the different faces of Japan and its long cultural history.\n\nLead support for 'Red Circle' is provided by AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

Never Remember: Searching for Stalin's Gulags in Putin's Russia DESCRIPTION:The Gulag was a monstrous network of labor camps in the Soviet Union that held and killed millions of prisoners from the 1930s to the 1950s. More than half a century after the end of Stalinist terror\, the geography of the Gulag has been barely sketched and the number of its victims remains unknown. Has the Gulag been forgotten? Writer Masha Gessen and photographer Misha Friedman set out across Russia in search of the memory of the Gulag. They journey from Moscow to Sandarmokh\, a forested site of mass executions during Stalin’s Great Terror\; to the only Gulag camp turned into a museum\, outside of the city of Perm in the Urals\; and to Kolyma\, where prisoners worked in deadly mines in the remote reaches of the Far East. They find that in Vladimir Putin’s Russia\, where Stalin is remembered as a great leader\, Soviet terror has not been forgotten: it was never remembered in the first place. \n\nBooks by the authors will be available to purchase from Literati following the lecture. \n\nMasha Gessen is a Russian-American journalist and the best-selling biographer of Vladimir Putin. A staff writer at The New Yorker\, her work appears regularly in The New York Times and many other publications. She has published numerous books on topics including Putin’s Russia\, the protests of Pussy Riot\, and the Tsarnaev brothers who were responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings. Gessen is an outspoken critic of the re-imposition of totalitarian structures in Russia and a strong advocate for LGBTQ rights. She is a visiting professor at Amherst College and a resident of New York City. \n \nMisha Friedman is an award-winning photographer whose work is regularly featured in The New Yorker\, Time\, Der Spiegel\, Le Monde and The New York Times. Never Remember is Friedman’s third book. Previous work in Ukraine and Russia has covered corruption\, private lives of LGBTQ people\, and the faith of reforms.

Yet\, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

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.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

It moves through networks of power and capital\, through corporate establishments\, governmental alliances\, international organizations\, transnational social movements\, and media and technology. These networks of power deconstruct and restructure forms and relations of production—emergent and old. They also produce new social and material assemblages within which spatial knowledge is constantly re-visited and re-organized. The resulting socio-technical formations ultimately reconfigure both the products of\, and knowledge within\, the fields of architecture\, planning\, and affiliated disciplines.\n\nHow do we understand the networks of power and knowledge and the implicit human condition that sustains and transforms architecture and planning practices? At a juncture where our logic and systems of production are becoming digitized and automatized at an unprecedented pace\, and when our understanding of the networks and technologies of information are increasingly inseparable from questions of hardware and software\, of the accumulation and classification of electronic data\, the human mediation of knowledge acquires a new significance. The global phenomenon of post-truth politics equally urges us to re-scrutinize the Foucauldian premise of “knowledge as power.”\n\nIn this highly networked era of the Anthropocene\, we want to explore the interactions between people\, ideas\, institutions\, infrastructures and material objects\, especially as these pertain to architecture and planning knowledge\, in order to reflect on issues including but not limited to: political economies\, ecologies and geographies\, poverty\, inequality\, warfare\, mass re/dis-location of people\, invasion and occupation of lands and territories.\n\nConference Keynote Friday\, March 9: Kazys Varnelis\, PhD\, Director of the Urban Architecture Lab UID:50332-11710227@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50332 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Graduate Students,Urban Planning LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180319T235840 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180310T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180310T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:TBP Grad Student Speaker Series: Training (for) Better Presentations DESCRIPTION:**Note change of location**\nWe are excited to announce the launch of TBP Graduate Student Speaker Series: Training (for) Better Presentations organized by Tau Beta Pi for the College of Engineering\, a pilot professional development event funded by the College of Engineering and the Office of Student Affairs. \n\nTraining (for) Better Presentations is aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills\, so they can learn to effectively convey the \"big picture\" value of their research to a diverse audience. It also aims to engage a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering.\n\nIntended as \"teaching through practice\" event\, each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience)\, highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills\, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.\n\nStarting mid-February and leading up to June\, we will be organizing multiple sessions for this event\, and we invite you to participate. The sessions will be held on Saturday mornings (9am - 11am)\, and will be scheduled to occur once every 2-3 weeks. Breakfast and coffee will be provided!\n\nIf you are interested in participating as a speaker\, please indicate your availability on the \"Speaker sign up\" form and the planning committee will follow up with you for scheduling.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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.

He's played for coins in the Paris subway\, and he's studied for the priesthood. His gift for profound storytelling songs drew him into the world of folk music. Richard Shindell champions the downtrodden\, exalts the disaffected\, skewers prejudice\, war\, and religious intolerance. He steps into and fully inhabits the various personalities his songs create—some of them female. In the words of No Depression\, \"Shindell tells great stories with an eye for critical detail while never losing sight of the big picture. He works a well-worn stretch of singer-songwriter pavement\, but his wonderfully spiritual lyrical sense and intimate compositions ultimately distinguish him.\" The Valley Advocate in Massachusetts has called Richard Shindell \"the thinking man's folk singer\,\" and you're not going to hear better-crafted songs anywhere.

Yet\, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

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.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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.

In response\, three renowned Japanese artists took on the challenge of changing Japan’s global image through graphic design. Their eye-catching designs often incorporated familiar traditional symbols and motifs\, notably the iconic red circle against a white background of Japan’s national flag\, from which this exhibition gains it name\, 'Red Circle: Designing Japan in Contemporary Posters.' Paul Rand also crafted memorable graphic design in the second half of the twentieth century. Rand was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. This installation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign\, a rebus which transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. Join Docents as they introduce and connect these two exciting exhibitions focusing on graphic design.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.\n\nLead support for 'Red Circle' is provided by AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

And did you hear them at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival a few years ago\, playing the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony\, minus the voices but with pretty much everything else intact? Like most Californians\, the three members of the California Guitar Trio all come from someplace else: Bert Lams is Belgian\, Hideyo Moriya is from Japan (where the band has a strong following)\, and Paul Richards is from Salt Lake City. All three felt the call to push themselves to the limit by enrolling in Robert Fripp’s challenging Guitar Craft courses\, where they first met in 1987. They went on to tour together as part of Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists before forming The California Guitar Trio in Los Angeles four years later. The CGT is a melding of diverse talents unlike anything you've heard before\, and one you can't afford to miss!

Since the invention of the light bulb\, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors\, prioritizing work\, school\, socializing\, sports\, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible\, something that can be made up at any time\, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately\, they could not be more wrong.\n\nThe truth is\, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes\, reduces productivity\, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works\, why it is important\, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

The 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.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

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.

Both education and income play an important role for children’s development\, particularly on academic achievement\, but their specific mechanisms remain understudied. The purpose of the current study is to examine heterogeneity within low-income yet highly-educated families. In particular\, I examine possible explanations for why these families are low income. Second\, I examine family’s income trajectories over time in order to differentiate between families experiencing chronic or transient poverty. I will finally discuss the implications of this research in a broader context. \n\nBio: Lauren Tighe is a fifth-year doctoral candidate in Developmental Psychology and Social Work. Broadly\, her research focuses on the complexities of socioeconomic status and social inequality across the lifespan. She has a BA and an MSW from the University of Michigan.

Many thousands of clusters out to redshift 0.65 have been identified in DES data. Weak lensing and multi-wavelength studies with X-ray and cosmic microwave background observations are performed to provide inputs to the cosmology analysis. A cosmology pipeline that considers various systematic effects such as cluster projections and mis-centering is used to derive constraints on LambdaCDM cosmology parameters. In this talk\, I will present current progress on DES galaxy cluster cosmology analyses as well as discuss future improvements.\n UID:50607-11816521@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50607 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180222T081153 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180312T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180312T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance DESCRIPTION:Details to come.

Making Postcolonial Bodies: Tales from An\"Other\" Enlightenment DESCRIPTION:This talk explores how science and religion come together in in contemporary Hindu nationalism to create a very particular and powerful biopolitical imaginary. Religious nationalists have selectively\, and strategically\, used rhetoric from both science and Hinduism\, modernity and orthodoxy\, western and eastern thought to build a powerful but potentially dangerous vision of a Hindu nation. With aspirations for a global and modern Hinduism\, scientific and religious practices in contemporary India are inextricably interconnected and result in fluid processes and practices of both institutions. The case of India reminds us about both the transnational stakes of science as well as the local instantiations that challenge enlightenment narratives of reason and unreason. Ultimately to understand contemporary technoscience in India\, we need new epistemological and methodological tools\, and story-making practices to make visible the many phantasmogoric natural and cultural worlds within.

Since the invention of the light bulb\, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors\, prioritizing work\, school\, socializing\, sports\, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible\, something that can be made up at any time\, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately\, they could not be more wrong.\n\nThe truth is\, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes\, reduces productivity\, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation.

Yet public trust in journalism has hit historic lows in recent years and journalists have recently been openly maligned for their work. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of journalists in a free society. Why is the concept of a free press written into the First Amendment? How are the rights of journalists threatened? Is this a unique moment in history? How have new modes of reporting\, such as social media and citizen journalism\, made the press more vulnerable? And\, finally\, what are the broader societal implications of a restricted and diminished press?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

The 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.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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.

Civilian ownership of guns not only contributed to persistent social violence\, but also transformed power structurers in local society and accelerated local militarization\, changing the balance of power between state and society. The decision that each political entity made about how to deal with armed civilians had profound effects in the national political arena. \n \nLei Duan is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Liebethal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. His main research interest is social violence and state power in China. His current book project focuses on private gun ownership and its sociocultural and political implications in modern China from 1860 to 1949.

I investigate this question by examining patterns of campaign contributions among foreign firms. While statutorily forbidden from directly giving campaign money\, foreign multinationals may be able to influence American politics through their US subsidiaries. Consistent with this\, I show that the US subsidiaries of foreign multinationals are more likely to give campaign contributions\, give contributions that are vastly larger\, and locate significantly closer to Capitol Hill than domestic firms\, controlling for industry sector and firm size. While contributing 5% to US GDP\, majority foreign-owned firms account for more than 11% of all corporate campaign contributions. I argue that this greater political intensity is driven primarily by the desire of subsidiaries to represent the political interests of their foreign parent corporations\, and rule out alternative explanations like a `foreignness premium' and political inexperience. I conclude that foreign multinationals are a significant political actor in the US\, and that foreign direct investment in the US partly serves as an investment in political influence.

Crayons of Askalan by Dr. Laila Hotait Salas (followed by Q&A with the filmmaker) DESCRIPTION:Film Description: This creative hybrid documentary is based on the true story about the Palestinian artist Zuhdi Al Adawi\, who in 1975 at the age of just 15 years was convicted to 15 years' imprisonment\, which he served in the Israeli high-security prison Askalan. It was only thanks to the help of his fellow inmates and their families that he managed to survive mentally.

Her academic work deals with Arab contemporary cinema and its filmmakers. \n\nAs a filmmaker herself\, her first documentary film\, ‘Crayons of Askalan’ (2011) has been presented in more than 20 film festivals\, including Hot Docs\, the Doha Tribeca Film Festival\, CPH:DOX and DocsDF. Her sound art works have been presented at international venues such as the Centre Pompidou\, the Kunst-im-Tunnel Museum Düsseldorf and several art galleries. Hotait was selected by the CPH:LAB as an international emerging film talent in 2011. Her work has received support from institutions including the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture\, the Sundance Documentary Fund Program\, Screen Institute Beirut and the Doha Film Institute and is currently developing a feature film that was selected by Cine Qua Non Lab residency program. \n \nLaila Hotait has been teaching film writing and directing at the University Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey\, Mexico\, for five years.

Thurnau Professor of Women’s Studies\, Political Science\, Sociology\, and Health Management and Policy \nLisa Disch\, Professor of Political Science and Women’s Studies\n\nIn this research talk\, Professor Michael Heaney will discuss findings from his surveys of participants at the 2017 Women’s March in DC\, and the Women’s Convention in Detroit in October 2017.\n\nAfter the candidacy and election of Donald J. Trump as President\, there have been renewed efforts to organize women in the United States under a single\, unified umbrella. The most visible effort is the Women’s March\, which organized a massive march in Washington\, DC and around the world on the day following Trump’s inauguration. The Women’s March also organized a convention\, held in Detroit in October 2017.\n\nThis study examines these organizing efforts to assess the extent to which this nascent women’s movement is mending divisions among women and the extent to which divisions still represent challenges to the movement.\n\nPanelists Anna Kirkland and Lisa Disch will offer commentary. A Q&A with the audience will follow the discussion.

Rights in Peril in the Philippines: How Rights Are Wronged and How We Fight Back DESCRIPTION:The Philippines is the oldest democracy in Asia. Once priding itself as the bastion of progressive thought on human rights\, the country transitioned from decades of authoritarianism to democracy through an exemplary bloodless revolution. Recently\, however\, the country has faced deep challenges to the protection and promotion of human rights including mass killings in a drug war and attempts to stifle and silence watchdog institutions. In this public lecture\, Chito Gascon will draw on his decades of work as a political activist and social reformer\, and share his reflections on the social and political challenges to human rights and democracy in the Philippines. \n \nJose Luis Martin “Chito” Gascon was appointed in 2015 by President Benigno S. Aquino III as Chair of the Human Rights Commission of the Philippines\, and his term will last until 2022. He has been active in public and government service for more than 30 years\, at one time holding positions at the Department of Education and Office of the President. His continuing reform advocacies are in the areas of human rights\, access to justice and the rule of law\, transparency and accountability initiatives\, political and electoral reforms\, peace and conflict transformation\, people’s participation and civic education\, and state building in the context of democratic transitions. He holds bachelor’s degrees in philosophy and law from the University of the Philippines\, and a master of law (LLM) degree specializing in International Law (Human Rights\, Law of Peace\, and Settlement of International Disputes) from Cambridge University as a member of St. Edmund's College through a joint British Chevening and Cambridge Overseas Trust Scholarship.

Incorporating two new styles of U.S. 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\nThe Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance.

For the past 70 years\, many Germans have been engaged in what they call Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung - working-off the past.

Since the invention of the light bulb\, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors\, prioritizing work\, school\, socializing\, sports\, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible\, something that can be made up at any time\, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately\, they could not be more wrong.\n\nThe truth is\, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes\, reduces productivity\, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works\, why it is important\, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

Yet public trust in journalism has hit historic lows in recent years and journalists have recently been openly maligned for their work. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of journalists in a free society. Why is the concept of a free press written into the First Amendment? How are the rights of journalists threatened? Is this a unique moment in history? How have new modes of reporting\, such as social media and citizen journalism\, made the press more vulnerable? And\, finally\, what are the broader societal implications of a restricted and diminished press?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

The 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.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

We will start with an overview of taxonomy--the art and science of naming living things--and a discussion of just what it means for something to be alive. We will then proceed on a journey through the tree of life\, briefly glimpsing each of the major groups: animals\, fungi\, plants\, protists\, bacteria\, and viruses. \n\nAlong the way we will discuss research into the purpose and function of organisms\, using a combination of lecture and discussion with outside readings. Instructor William Davis is a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan who hopes to share his joy in learning about new organisms.\n\nThis study group for those 50 and over will be held on Wednesdays from March to May 2.

A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

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.

We use this correspondence to obtain the first empirical measurement of the local velocity distribution of dark matter\, by first analyzing the Gaia data release coupled with RAVE as well as the ninth release from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and computing the velocity distribution of metal poor stars. We find that this velocity distribution is peaked at lower velocities than the generally assumed Maxwell Boltzmann distribution\, leading to a weakening of direct detection limits at dark matter masses less than 10 GeV by a factor of a few. We also found a few kinematic outliers in the stellar data that might be hints of dark matter substructure.

Though their role is informal\, citizens develop trong attitudes toward them. In the case of Michelle Obama\, the first black First Lady\, there is strong evidence to suggest that racial attitudes informed citizen perceptions of Mrs. Obama in ways that would not have been applicable to other first ladies. This presentation will explore this question using an original dataset which asked detailed approval questions of first ladies Hillary Clinton\, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama (as well as prospective questions about Melania Trump).

We will be in touch if we are able to reschedule her visit. \n\nThe election of Donald Trump has catalyzed historic levels of activism around the country. The Women’s March on the day after the inauguration in 2017 is considered to be the largest single day demonstration ever. However\, students have been organizing in large numbers\, notably after the killing of Trayvon Martin\, which catalyzed the Black Lives Matter movement.\n\nIn this workshop\, educator and organizer Mariame Kaba will illuminate the long history of activism for change\, especially those with youth at the center. She will draw from recent examples of students engaging and creating social change\, as well as her own history of organizing\, to illuminate the pitfalls and promises of this current moment. This session will highlight how educators can effectively support and challenge students engaged in activism.\n\n*This event is for Faculty and Staff. See MHappenings for Graduate Student session.

Despite these efforts\, the steady rise in mental health service demands has continued to exert pressure on CAPS services leading to reduced appointment availability and lengthy wait-times for students needing less than crisis or emergent care. The UCLA Depression Grand Challenge is partnered with Campus & Student Resilience to train and engage students in a Resilience Peer Network to support the delivery of a robust evidence based internet cognitive behavioral therapy to students screened for mild to moderate depression and anxiety. This talk provides a preliminary overview of our findings\, and describes our successes in bringing a scalable screening\, early intervention\, treatment\, and resilience-building program embedded in research to our students.

Systems based on deep learning now exceed human capability in speech recognition\, object classification\, and playing games like Go. Deep learning has been enabled by powerful\, efficient computing hardware. The algorithms used have been around since the 1980s\, but it has only been in the last few years - when powerful GPUs became available to train networks - that the technology has become practical. This talk will review the current state of deep learning and describe recent research on making these systems more efficient.\n\nBio: Bill is Chief Scientist and Senior Vice President of Research at NVIDIA Corporation and a Professor (Research) and former chair of Computer Science at Stanford University.

Baer Lecture in Physics | Detecting the Tiny Thump of the Neutrino DESCRIPTION:Neutrinos are “ghostly” particles\, interacting only rarely with matter. Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) was first predicted in 1973\; it’s a process in which a neutrino scatters off an entire nucleus. By neutrino standards\, CEvNS occurs frequently\, but it is tremendously challenging to see. The only way to observe it is to detect the minuscule thump of the nuclear recoil. CEvNS was measured for the first time by the COHERENT collaboration using the unique\, high-quality source of neutrinos from the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This talk will describe COHERENT's recent measurement of CEvNS\, the status and plans of COHERENT's suite of detectors at the SNS\, and the physics we will learn from the measurements.\n\nThe Helmut W. Baer Lecture is a special colloquium supported by family and friends in honor of Dr. Helmut Baer. Dr. Baer's career in physics began with his work at the University of Michigan where he was awarded a doctorate in nuclear physics in 1967. He published over 100 articles that cover a range of physics topics including nuclear physics and pion interactions. Dr. Baer was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in March of 1989\, and to his delight enjoyed countless opportunities over the years to talk about physics at universities and conferences internationally. Dr. Baer set the highest personal standards for himself and his research. This lecture is held approximately every two years.

Central to these efforts are elastomeric surfaces with heterogeneous chemical and physical properties that can be reversibly reconfigured using simple\, macro-scale processes such as mechanical deformations—we refer to these mechanically tunable surfaces as 2D “assembly substrates.” Specifically\, we focus on systems fabricated from elastomeric polymers\, such as silicones\, which provide a diversity of chemical and mechanical properties. In this talk I will highlight our recent findings related to the synthesis and application of mechanically tunable surfaces\, which include the assembly of solids (e.g.\, inorganic films with switchable reflectance and microparticles with optical/catalytic activity) and the manipulation of liquids (e.g.\, picoliter-volume droplets of aqueous solutions and prepolymer droplets). The unique properties of these surfaces and the diverse capabilities they provide will enable new methods and structures for the micro-/nanoscale manipulation\, organization\, and assembly of liquids/solids\, and provide new techniques for the fabrication of hybrid structures applicable to emergent technologies\, for example\, soft sensors\, optics\, and electronics\, soft actuators for soft machines/robotics\, and smart surfaces with adaptive adhesion. Furthermore\, the ability of the strategies we demonstrate to operate simultaneously on large numbers of micro-/nanoscale functional components using macroscale processing (e.g.\, tensile deformations) presents unique advantages in the scalable\, advanced manufacturing of functional structures. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nStephen Morin (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) UID:49885-11566241@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49885 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180329T123012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180314T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180314T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Internship Lab DESCRIPTION:If you are in Handshake\, Click \"Join event\" to RSVP* Not in Handshake?

The painting proved prescient. The four years that followed Park Geun-hye's victory at the polls may be characterized as Yusin Redux for its systematic attempt to roll back the democratic process in order to vindicate or reinstate the legacies of her father's rule. Looking back on Park Geun-hye's presidency from the vantage point opened up by its abortive end in impeachment\, this talk will analyze several important cultural works of satire as examples of \"laughtivism\" in order to reflect on the significance of Yusin Redux in the history of South Korean democratization. \n \nYoungju Ryu is Associate Professor of Korean Literature at the University of Michigan.

Of primary focus will be how the presence of Polish forces in Haiti (who were sent by Napoleon to put down the slave rebellion ostensibly in exchange for the repatriation of Polish territory from Russia) contributed to Russia’s favorable coverage of the Black insurgency. Special attention will also be paid to how the then emerging discourse of romantic nationalism was used to portray Russia's imperial practices in neighboring Slavic territories (like Poland) as somehow physiologically distinct from the French colonial presence in the West Indies.\n\nDr. Jennifer Wilson is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

For convex cost functions with Lipschitz continuous gradients\, Nesterov's fast gradient method decreases the cost function at least as fast as the square of the number of iterations\, a rate order that is optimal. This talk describes a first-order optimization method called the optimized gradient method (OGM) that converges twice as fast as Nesterov's famous method yet has a remarkably similar simple implementation. Interestingly\, Y. Drori recently showed that OGM has optimal complexity among first-order methods. I will discuss other recent extensions and show examples in machine learning and imaging.

Since the work in the nineteenth century of French historians of Cartesian philosophy\, however\, there has been no fully contextualized comparative examination of the various receptions of Descartes in different portions of early modern Europe. \n\n\"This study addresses the need for a more current understanding of these receptions by considering the different constructions of Descartes's thought that emerged in the Calvinist United Provinces (Netherlands) and Catholic France\, the two main centers for early modern Cartesianism\, during the period dating from the last decades of his life to the century or so following his death in 1650. It turns out that we must speak not of a single early modern Cartesianism rigidly defined in terms of Descartes's own authorial intentions\, but rather of a loose collection of early modern Cartesianisms that involve a range of different positions on various sets of issues. \n\n\"Though more or less rooted in Descartes's somewhat open-ended views\, these Cartesianisms evolved in different ways over time in response to different intellectual and social pressures. Chapters of this study are devoted to: the early modern Catholic and Calvinist condemnations of Descartes and the incompatible Cartesian responses to these\; conflicting attitudes among early modern Cartesians toward ancient thought and modernity\; competing early modern attempts to combine Descartes's views with those of Augustine\; the different occasionalist accounts of causation within early modern Cartesianism\; and the impact of various forms of early modern Cartesianism on both Dutch medicine and French physics.\" UID:49547-11476256@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49547 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,European,History,Literature,Philosophy,Writing LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery, room #100 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180312T105511 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180314T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180314T193000 SUMMARY:Presentation:IEDP Senegal Post-Trip Presentation DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, March 14 to hear from this year's IEDP PubPol 674 cohort about our research and exploration in the West African hub of Dakar\, Senegal.

Since the invention of the light bulb\, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors\, prioritizing work\, school\, socializing\, sports\, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible\, something that can be made up at any time\, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately\, they could not be more wrong.\n\nThe truth is\, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes\, reduces productivity\, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works\, why it is important\, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue.

Yet public trust in journalism has hit historic lows in recent years and journalists have recently been openly maligned for their work. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of journalists in a free society. Why is the concept of a free press written into the First Amendment? How are the rights of journalists threatened? Is this a unique moment in history? How have new modes of reporting\, such as social media and citizen journalism\, made the press more vulnerable? And\, finally\, what are the broader societal implications of a restricted and diminished press?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

The 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.

The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery.

The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community.

Metastructures\, a metamaterial inspired concept\, are structures with distributed vibration absorbers. In automotive and aerospace industries\, it is critical to have low levels of vibrations while also using lightweight materials. Previous work has shown that metastructures are effective at mitigating vibrations\, but do not consider the effects of mass. This work considers mass by comparing a metastructure to a baseline structure of equal mass with no absorbers. Results show that it is possible to obtain a favorable vibration response without adding additional mass to the structure. Experimental prototypes of the metastructures are printed using a 3D printer which uses polymer materials\; these materials exhibit viscoelastic properties which influence the damping inherent in the materials. The frequency and temperature dependent complex modulus of these materials is measured and modeled using the Golla-Hughes-McTavish model. Lastly\, the concept of adding active vibration control to a metastructure to get additional vibration suppression is explored. This is done by adding piezoelectric materials to the metastructure and utilizing a positive position feedback control law to further reduce vibrations. \n\n\nPublications\n\nJournal Publications\n\n1.

Some of her areas of focus include how individuals make financial decisions\, what influences charitable and philanthropic giving\, and bargaining and negotiation. She currently serves as the Dean of the College of Social Science at Michigan State University\, and an MSU Foundation Professor of Economics. \n\nBehavioral economics uses psychology to help explain and predict economic decisions. The impact of this area has been recognized in a series of recent Nobel prizes (Thaler 2017\, Roth 2012\, Ostrom 2009\, Kahneman 2002\, Smith 2002). \nThis lecture will describe the foundations of behavioral economics\, and will illustrate \nthe principles involved using examples of research on charitable giving and \nenvironmentally-conscious behaviors. \n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is Behavioral and Social Sciences: Real World Applications. The next lecture will be March 22\, 2018. The title is Looking Into The Minds of Managers and Consumers.

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.

Allergens are something that allergic bodies (over)react to (to varying degrees)\, but they can also become more than that. Individuals with experience of severe food allergies tend to be attuned to the presence of their allergens in their wider environments. Through embodied memory and affective imagination\, allergens become more than a substance\, protein or material: they become agents that are enacted through affective meshworks (Ingold 2011). This talk looks at the ways in which people dealing with severe food allergies develop and enact an embodied skill-set\, built on embodied memory\, affective imagination and their surrounding environment\, that is enacted to mitigate the risk of severe reactions. \n \nEmma E. Cook is a social anthropologist with interests ranging from gender\, the body\, food\, health\, risk\, emotion\, and affect. Her current research cross-culturally explores the social\, embodied and affective experiences of food allergies in Japan and the UK\, and is funded by a JSPS Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C).\n\nCosponsored by the Science\, Technology\, and Society Program.

This project explores how the personal experience of repression may change the political attitudes of survivors and their descendants in two distinct and competing ways. First\, experiences of repression could engender empathy toward other victims\, making survivors of repression (and their descendants) more supportive of oppressed outgroups. On the other hand\, experiences of repression could heighten levels of fear such that the future security of the group becomes paramount. This could make these individuals less supportive of other repressed groups\, if they believe these groups constitute some type of threat. In this study\, we explore these two divergent effects in the context of the Jewish experience of the Holocaust and their commitment to the abstract principle of ‘never again.’ Specifically\, we use a survey experiment among American Jews (including survivors\, descendants\, and those with no family connection to the Holocaust)\, priming empathy or threat considerations and then measuring support for US acceptance of Syrian refugees\, and other outgroup political attitudes.

Through a combination of solvothermal synthesis\, solid-state to solid-state transformations\, and in situ Raman spectroscopy\, proposed mechanisms of formation (along with their synthetic consequences) of select indium-derived SBUs will be presented. Additionally\, the non-covalent interactions involved in solution-phase sorptive extraction of pharmaceuticals and heavy metals (Pb and Cs) by select MOFs will be examined. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDoug Genna (Youngstown State University) UID:50281-11701586@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50281 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180312T150541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Abraham and Thelma Zwerdling Lecture DESCRIPTION:Why Does Education Reduce Crime?\n\nResearch on the economics of crime demonstrates that a beneficial\, unintended consequence of education policies that raise the school leaving age is reduced criminality. In this lecture\, I consider the way in which these crime reductions come about by focussing in detail on how such dropout age policies have scope to alter the shape of the crime-age profile. US evidence from a sequence of state-level reforms enacted in the 1980 to 2010 time period\, and Australian evidence from an earning or learning reform from the 2000s\, shows that these policies significantly alter crime-age profiles. The observed change in the shape is consistent with there being both a temporary incapacitation effect and a more sustained crime reducing effect. These combine to generate sizable crime reductions from school dropout age policy reforms. In contrast to previous research on earlier US reforms this does not arise solely as a result of education improvements\, and so the evidence of a longer run effect is interpreted as one of dynamic incapacitation.

Herman\nSolar Electric Propulsion (SEP) Project Ion Propulsion System Lead\nNASA Glenn Research Center\n\nFor missions beyond low Earth orbit\, spacecraft size and mass can be dominated by onboard chemical propulsion systems and propellants that may constitute more than 50 percent of spacecraft mass. This impact can be substantially reduced through the utilization of Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) due to its significantly higher specific impulse. Studies performed for NASA’s Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD) and Science Mission Directorate (SMD) have demonstrated that a 40 kW-class SEP capability can be enabling for both near term and future architectures and science missions. Since 2012 NASA has been developing a 14 kW Hall thruster electric propulsion string that can serve as the building block for a 40 kW-class SEP capability. NASA continues to evolve a beyond low-Earth orbit human exploration approach and\, where practical\, in a manner involving international\, academic\, and industry partners. This seminar will provide an overview of the current NASA human exploration vision and challenges focusing on the implementation of electric propulsion on the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE)\, which is planned to be the first element of a Lunar Orbital Platform – Gateway. The seminar will also provide overviews of electric propulsion and the current NASA high-power electric propulsion system developments.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Dan Herman received Undergrad and Graduate Degrees and\, eventually\, his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 2005 under the tutelage of Prof. Alec Gallimore. He has been performing electric propulsion system research and development for 17 years. His thesis focused on internal ion thruster discharge plasma characterizations to understand and mitigate discharge cathode erosion in NSTAR and NEXT ion thrusters. He has been employed by the NASA Glenn \n\nResearch Center (GRC) in the Electric Propulsion Systems Branch for 12 years leading electric propulsion R&D projects. He performed critical verification test activities for the NEXT ion thruster system development including leading the long-duration wear test and system testing. He led the NASA GRC and JPL in-house 12.5kW Hall thruster system development and contract oversight for the Advanced Electric Propulsion system (AEPS) contract.\nHe is currently the Electric Propulsion Subsystem Lead for NASA’s Solar Electric Propulsion Project that is developing\, qualifying\, and demonstrating on-orbit an advanced\, high-power electric propulsion system capability that is enabling to an affordable human exploration path to Mars. He is also the Electric Propulsion Subsystem Lead for the Power and Propulsion Element planned to be the first element of the Lunar Orbital Platform – Gateway.

Dr. Celina Turchi on the Zika Crisis in Brazil: A Case Study of Interdisciplinary Approaches to Public Health DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, a mysterious increase in the incidence of microcephaly in northeast Brazil alarmed health authorities\, physicians\, scientists\, and the public. The spike in the number of mothers who gave birth to babies with this profound neonatal malformation was mostly concentrated in the poorest areas of the country. Responding to a request from the Ministry of Health\, Celina Turchi\, a physician and epidemiologist at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz)\, the leading institution of biomedical sciences and public health in Brazil\, immediately organized a collaborative network of epidemiologists\, infectious diseases specialists\, clinicians\, reproductive healthcare practitioners\, pediatricians\, neurologists and biologists to identify the causes of the epidemic. These studies established the connections between microcephaly and infection by the Zika virus\, a virus transmitted by the Aedes genus\, mainly Aedes aegypti\, and passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus. In 2016\, the World Health Organization declared the Zika virus to be the cause of a global public health emergency. \n\nThe response Turchi led to the Zika crisis offers a model of how collaborative groups of scientists and interdisciplinary research can meet the needs of the population\, especially the most vulnerable\, in societies stratified by social and economic inequality. Her leadership has been internationally recognized. In 2016\, she was considered by Nature International Weekly Journal of Science as one of the ten most important scientists in the world\; and in 2017\, Time magazine listed Turchi a pioneer in her field and one of the world's 100 Most Influential People.\n \nIn her talk at the University of Michigan\, Turchi will discuss her experience in addressing the Zika crisis\, including her ongoing work with the interdisciplinary Microcephaly Epidemics Research Group.\n\nFor more information or to contact Dr. Turchi\, please email Elizabeth (Bebete) Martins at bmartins@umich.edu UID:50249-11690345@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50249 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Discussion,International,Lacs Featured,Latin America,Lecture,Medicine,Public Health LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - East Conference Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180302T161952 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T190000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Citius\, Altius\, Fortius: Mapping the Olympics DESCRIPTION:Summoning the heroes!

DESCRIPTION:In developing countries\, the state often has limited capacity to effectively target transfers. We examine the effects of enhanced authentication technology on the de facto performance of India’s largest targeted transfer scheme\, the Public Distribution System. We conduct an experiment at scale with the state government of Jharkhand\, randomizing the rollout of biometric authentication in large units and within a representative sample. In contrast with press coverage\, we find that this reform did not significantly or substantially reduce legitimate beneficiaries access’ to benefits on average\, though it did raise transaction costs slightly. In (instructive) contrast with our own work elsewhere\, however\, we also find little evidence that better authentication reduced leakage.

However\, these projects are generally isolated\, often resource intensive\, and rarely have impacts beyond the original context of their development. Understanding more about how to foster and sustain science education reform including support for the implementation of new materials in diverse classrooms is widely recognized as a wicked problem. I coordinate the Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education & Synthesis (QUBES) project which acts as a scientific gateway for biology education reform by providing access to community specific tools\, opportunities for collaboration\, and data resources. We have integrated a set of social norms with our technical infrastructure to promote teaching scholarship through faculty communities of practice\, publication of open education resources\, and impact metrics. This suite of resources and tools has been embraced by a broad interdisciplinary consortium of projects\, professional societies\, institutions\, and organizations who are vested in the development of biology students’ quantitative reasoning skills. This seminar will share findings from our ongoing work in promoting reform uptake and describe next steps including an emphasis on teaching with data and building data literacy skills.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/HQbx0SFJn4U UID:49172-11386605@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49172 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment,Natural Sciences,Research LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170901T225907 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Public lecture by DESCRIPTION:Daphne Brooks (professor of African American Studies and Theater Studies at Yale University) will discuss her latest work in a public lecture hosted by the American Studies Consortium.

Allowing hate to flourish at U-M contributes to a culture of fear for members of our community. As a campus\, we must take action—using our shared knowledge to learn from one another\, build coalitions\, and hold our institution accountable for building a just and inclusive environment. \n\nPlease join us—students\, faculty\, and staff—for a campus-wide teach-in as we share knowledge\, unpack our experiences\, and work toward reclaiming our campus. This teach-in will explore how we can mobilize\, engage in activism\, and discuss the role of white supremacy and speech. We also seek to uplift the voices and experiences of students\, providing a space to dialogue openly with faculty\, staff\, and administrators in an attempt to bridge gaps and break down barriers. We welcome you to join us for all or part of the event (4-10 PM)\, which will feature a keynote and a variety of concurrent workshops and discussions led by members of our community. \n\nThis teach-in is part of a larger series on 2018 Speech and Inclusion: Recognizing Conflict and Building Tools for Engagement.\n\nSponsored by the Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion\, the National Center for Institutional Diversity\, Student Life\, the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan\, the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.\n\nRSVP: myumi.ch/LBd28\nLearn more about the teach-in: myumi.ch/JgV8R\nLearn more about the series: myumi.ch/Jl1DR UID:50513-11790992@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50513 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Inclusion,Social Justice LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180220T094016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UROP - Creating Posters with PowerPoint DESCRIPTION:Creating presentation posters can be a big challenge – arranging the layout is often more difficult than creating the content!

We estimate the model using a comprehensive dataset of the 5\,332\,353 votes cast on 33\,262 proposals from 3\,844 portfolio companies from 2010 to 2015 by 3\,617 mutual funds that in total hold almost 80% of mutual fund industry assets. The two dimensions of funds’ corporate governance preferences reflect the role of the two leading proxy advisors. Mutual funds are clustered into three ‘parties’—the Managerialist Party\, the Shareholder Intervention Party\, and the Shareholder Veto Party—that follow distinctive philosophies of corporate governance and shareholders’ role. We use our methodology in turn to construct measures of the individual distributions of preferences of public companies’ shareholder bases. Our preference measures for mutual funds and for public companies’ shareholder bases generate a range of insights about the broader system of corporate governance.

They played for dances and accompanied singers\, whether in churches or theaters. Harps were the principal basso continuo instruments into the eighteenth century. Early instruction books for harp printed in Spain are filled with notation for the popular dances of the day\, dances whose patterns circulated widely. What can we learn from these dance forms for the working harp player\, beyond the dances themselves? Largely unadorned in rhythm and melody\, compared to dance settings for guitar and keyboard\, they serve as the basis for other instrumental settings and as accompaniments for songs. They also inform us about both the social role of the harp and its effectiveness within the basso continuo ensemble.\n\nChrista Patton\, historical harpist and early wind specialist\, has performed throughout the Americas\, Europe\, and Japan with many of today’s top early music ensembles\, including Piffaro the Renaissance Band\, Boston Camerata\, The King’s Noyse\, Folger Consort\, Newberry Consort\, Apollo’s Fire\, Parthenia and ARTEK. As a baroque harpist specializing in 17th-century opera\, Christa has performed with New York City Opera\, Wolf Trap Opera\, and Tafelmusik. She teaches on the faculty of Rutgers University and the Graduate Center at CUNY\, and is musical director of the Baroque Opera Workshop at Queens College. Her artistry can be heard on the Lyrachord\, Dorian\, Navona and ATMA labels. Sponsored by the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments and the Department of Musicology.

She is an advocate of queer and transgender rights and government transparency. During her time as an intelligence analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense\, Manning publicly disclosed classifed documents that she felt revealed human rights abuses and corruption connected to the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan during her deployment in Iraq in 2009. Upon being sentenced to 35 years for leaking government documents\, she publicly identifed as a trans woman and asserted her legal rights to medical therapy. After serving seven years in military prison\, President Barack Obama commuted her sentence\; she was released in 2017. Heather Dewey-Hagborg is a bio-political artist and educator. In her creative collaboration with Chelsea Manning\, Probably Chelsea (2017)\, Dewey-Hagborg received cheek swabs and hair clippings from Manning to create DNA-derived sculptural portraits. The work illustrates a multitude of ways in which DNA can be interpreted.\n\nThis Penny Stamps Speaker Series event is co-presented with the Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, the Office of Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion\, and Munger Graduate Residences\, with additional support from the Rackham Graduate School\, the Knight-Wallace Fellows\, and the Dissonance Event Series.

DESCRIPTION:Tracking consistency and change in climate data\, habitation sites\, resource availability\, and lithic datasets during the early Holocene (ca. 10\,500–8\,500 years ago) in the American Midwest and Great Basin region\, my research suggests that improved access to specific resources led to increased sedentism among Late Paleo-Indian lithic societies. When looked at through the lens of modern climate change\, these findings suggest that we can predict an increase in human mobility and a consequent escalation in conflicts over resources as modern societies adapt to socioeconomic problems brought about and exasperated by a warming planet.\n\nMichigan Archaeological Society lectures are free and open to the public. \n\nLearn more about the Michigan Archaeological Society: \nhttp://www.miarch.org/ \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible.

As we all reach for our smartphones to gaze upon the manufactured perfection of the lives of those we admire\, we lose sight of what makes our own lives important.\n\nNashville's Langhorne Slim interlaces this theme throughout his new album. \"Everyone's searchin' for something better around every corner\, but it's already right here\,\" Langhorne says. \"We're all born whole -- through livin' we fall apart...\"\n\nThe songs on Langhorne Slim's newest album\, Lost At Last Vol. 1\, out November 10\, 2017\, challenge the idea of social rigidity: the attitude that there's a \"correct\" way for us to live and a side we should be on. He urges the world to see through the idea that by following that path and focusing only on fitting the mold\, one will have lived a good life. He re-interprets the sound of the free-spirited yet vulnerable everyman heard on 2015's The Spirit Moves and brings forth anew the call for us to abandon \"the fold\" and re-connect with ourselves and each other.\n\nLanghorne Slim is no stranger to the world of popular culture and commercial success. Lost At Last Vol. 1is his sixth full-length album\; throughout his career he has been defined by reflective songwriting and passionate delivery. Slim's last album cycle alone garnered him his third appearance on Conan O'Brien's late-night show\, as well as a feature on CBS Saturday Morning\, and the highest charting debut of his career. O'Brien\, a personal fan of Slim stated\, \"After one listen\, I became an instant\, almost obsessive fan.\" Slim has consistently toured on his own\, and has appeared on extensive worldwide runs throughout his career with artists such as The Lumineers\, The Avett Brothers\, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, Josh Ritter\, The Devil Makes Three\, Sara Watkins\, and more. He's also appeared on many festival stages\, such as Bonnaroo\, Newport Folk Festival\, Outside Lands\, Lollapalooza\, and the Philadelphia Folk Festival.\n\nLost At Last Vol. 1 is a record that Langhorne wanted to do differently from the start. \"Almost immediately after recording our last record\, The Spirit Moves\,\" Slim says\, \"I felt a deep desire to make another album. One that would take a step sideways in order to take a step forward\; one that would be very personal and raw...in the making of this record\, I made a deal with myself to trust my own voice and vision more than I ever have before\, and to go willingly wherever it led.\"\n\nThe title alone reflects his need to pen a great wealth of songs\, as if the thoughts and inspiration took on a life of their own and just needed to come out. Recorded over the span of around six months in New Orleans\, Los Angeles\, and Catskill\, NY\, and clocking in at about 34 minutes\, it's a short but intense listening experience. Several songs are under two or three minutes long\, but they pack vivid imagery into concise packages in a way that shows a significant diversion from the songwriting on his previous records. Slim keeps his record-making in the family with this release\; longtime band member Malachi DeLorenzo co-produced the record along with Kenny Siegal\, and DeLorenzo also mixed several tracks in addition to playing drums on the record.\n\nSlim reflects truths that we may or may not want to admit\; in \"Life is Confusing\,\" he muses that \"life is confusing\, and people are insane.\" He stands resolute in the face of trial: .\"..you could break my heart\, but you'll never break me\,\" he sings on \"Never Break.\" He calls upon the listener during this time fraught with challenges to unplug from the trajectory our culture has deemed is \"right\" and find strength in our own vulnerability\, in our own instincts. \"We look to our phones\, drugs\, sex whatever to find ourselves when it's already right here\,\" Slim says. These songs join in the rallying call for the wild ones in us all.
