SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Free Speech on Campus
DESCRIPTION:Free speech is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, and democratic society. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents My Playground: Assemblage Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Starting with watercolor\, Joan Painter-Jones’ work kept building out farther and farther until it became sculpture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Prairie Mantras: Paint & Vinyl on Aluminum
DESCRIPTION:Desiree Warren’s current body of work is a journey using one shape (the orzo) to create a multitude of layers that evoke landscapes and organic assimilations. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Desert Southwest: Photography
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Flint\, Michigan\, Daniel Sidoli has always had the creative itch. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet
DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Guided Tour - Red Circle: Designing Japan in Contemporary Posters and New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:In the 1980s\, Japan’s strong trade surplus and currency were causing friction and antagonism overseas. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:California Guitar Trio
DESCRIPTION:The California Guitar Trio plays progressive rock\, surf music\, jazz\, blues\, country\, probably the definitive version of \"Bohemian Rhapsody\,\" and some traditional North African and Asian sounds for good measure. 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!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Free Speech on Campus
DESCRIPTION:Free speech is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, and democratic society. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits\, Solutions\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach- Out Series: Free Speech in Journalism
DESCRIPTION:A free press is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, democratic society. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Border Crossers
DESCRIPTION:Students across campus—from LSA\, Engineering\, Art and Design\, and Information—will work with visiting artist Chico MacMurtrie during winter semester 2018 planning\, building\, and launching a 40-foot robotic sculpture that poetically explores the notion of borders and boundary conditions. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Area Brown Bag - Examining Differences Within Low-Income\, Highly-Educated Families
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Past research in developmental psychology has often focused on families with a relatively strong relation between parental education and family income (i.e.\, low education and low income or high education and high income). 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Galaxy Cluster Cosmology with the Dark Energy Survey
DESCRIPTION:Constraining LambdaCDM cosmology with galaxy cluster abundance is one of the fundamental goals of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Distinguished Speaker. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Working as a Designer in Tech
DESCRIPTION:Being a designer in technology can take many different forms\, and while there are some similarities between careers\, each path also has its own skill set and unique qualities. Join us at Atomic Object to hear from four women each performing different roles as designers in tech.\n\nThe Panelists:\nLani Chisnell\, Co-Owner & Creative Director | Boxcar Studio\nLani is part-owner\, information architect and creative director at Boxcar Studio\, a web design agency in Ann Arbor specializing in non-profits and higher education. She holds her Master's degree in Information and Library Science from the University of Michigan\, and worked at Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village and Borders corporate office before starting Boxcar. When she's not designing\, she's dreaming of living off-grid with goats\, or working on her webcomic\, The Flock. She likes dogs. A lot.\n\nStefanie Mitchell\, Marketing Specialist | S. Mitchell Marketing\nStefanie Mitchell is the Founder & Marketing Specialist at S. Mitchell Marketing\, an agency that helps brands grow their business by leveraging digital platforms. As an introvert\, Stefanie developed a natural affection for social media and blogging\, which led to her career as a digital marketer. When she's not online\, Stefanie spends her time mentoring youth in Washtenaw County\, raising her 8 year-old daughter\, and binging on Reese's.\n\nAlina Bochkacheva\, Product Designer | Duo Security\nAlina got her degree in computer science. At her first job doing front-end development\, she discovered a new field of user experience design. She realized that this is what makes products the best of the best. She started spending more time designing interfaces and testing them with users\, moving away from coding. By now\, she has designed for EDU customers\, social media\, and now solving hard problems in cyber security space at Duo Security. After her work day is done\, Alina enjoys chilling out with her corgi\, Argyle.\n\nLauren League\, 3D Digital Artist | University of Michigan Department of Science & Engineering\nPart designer\, part developer\, Lauren's skillset lies at the intersection of technology\, design\, and behavioral psychology. In 2014 she earned a dual bachelor's degree in design and psychology from the University of Michigan. In the years since\, her career has been extraordinarily focused on UI design and code for the web. She lives for designing and building sites to work more efficiently\, and have a knack for identifying and avoiding rabbit holes. Outside of work\, Lauren thoroughly enjoys cooking\, backpacking through the wilderness\, and painting colorful medical art.

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach- Out Series: Free Speech in Journalism
DESCRIPTION:A free press is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, democratic society. 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 U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!\n\nFind new opportunities at teach-out.org.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Border Crossers
DESCRIPTION:Students across campus—from LSA\, Engineering\, Art and Design\, and Information—will work with visiting artist Chico MacMurtrie during winter semester 2018 planning\, building\, and launching a 40-foot robotic sculpture that poetically explores the notion of borders and boundary conditions. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Tuesday Lecture Series | Between Arming and Disarming: The Culture and Politics of Private Gun Ownership in Modern China
DESCRIPTION:In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, private gun ownership became surprisingly common. 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. He received his PhD in 2017 from the Department of History at Syracuse University\, obtained an MA in History from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst in 2011\, and his BA from Nankai University in 2008.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foreign Direct Investment in Political Influence
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Do foreign interests influence US politics? 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.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS & LACS Filmscreening. 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. Colour crayons that were smuggled in became his only contact with the outside world - not through letters\, but through his distressed and allegorical drawings\, which are brought to life in partially animated sequences. \n    \nFilmmaker Bio: Laila Hotait Salas\, Ph.D\, is a Lebanese-Spanish filmmaker and artist. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Research Talk: \"Intersectional Challenges in Re-Mobilizing the Women's Movement\"
DESCRIPTION:Panelists:\nAnna Kirkland\, Arthur F. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Bose Fireworks: Coherent Emission of Matter-wave Jets
DESCRIPTION:Experiments frequently come with surprises. In a driven Bose-Einstein condensate\, we observe unexpectedly generation of many matter-wave jets leaving the condensate with quantized momenta as a result of bosonic stimulation. Based on a pattern recognition scheme\, we identify a universal pattern of correlations which offers essential clues to unveiling the underlying microscopic processes. \n\nFinally\, connection of the matterwave jets to the dijet structure in heave ion collider will be discussed.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EXHIBITION PRESENTATIONS AND OPENING: RESEARCH THROUGH MAKING
DESCRIPTION:Since its inception in 2009\, Research Through Making enables faculty to engage in architecture research or creative projects that are predicated on making. Seed funding is competitively awarded annually for up to five projects. Faculty collaborate with students to produce projects that ultimately lead to a public exhibition in the Liberty Annex Gallery. Through the years as the projects have evolved\, the research has broadened and many have gone on to win national awards (P/A Awards\, R+D Awards\, ACSA Awards\, AIA awards\, etc.) and be published\, presented and exhibited through out the world. Research Through Making is one of the most innovative architecture research programs in the country\, and provides important funding that allows students to work with faculty on innovative research projects and bring that knowledge back to the classroom and into their futures as designers.\n\nPresentations and opening March 13.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CWPS Faculty Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:During the latter half of the 1980s\, a popular dance craze known as \"piliwu\" 霹雳舞 swept urban communities across China. 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. Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students\, scholars\, and the community\, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact Center for World Performance Studies\, at 734-936-2777\, at least one week in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Working Through the Past:  What Americans Can Learn from the Germans
DESCRIPTION:As America is struggling with its own racist past\, and present\, it makes sense to examine what the Germans have done with their own.  For the past 70 years\, many Germans have been engaged in what they call Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung - working-off the past.  Though the process has been slow\, fitful\, and often problematic\, Americans can learn from the ways in which Germany has - partially - confronted its racist past\, as we begin to examine our own.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits\, Solutions\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach- Out Series: Free Speech in Journalism
DESCRIPTION:A free press is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, democratic society. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Border Crossers
DESCRIPTION:Students across campus—from LSA\, Engineering\, Art and Design\, and Information—will work with visiting artist Chico MacMurtrie during winter semester 2018 planning\, building\, and launching a 40-foot robotic sculpture that poetically explores the notion of borders and boundary conditions. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Series | Empirical Determination of the Dark Matter Velocity Distribution
DESCRIPTION:Using the hydrodynamic simulation Eris\, as well as various realizations of the Milky Way from the FIRE simulation\, we found that the kinematics of dark matter follows closely the kinematics of old metal poor stars. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Race and Attitudes toward First Ladies from Hillary Clinton to Michelle Obama
DESCRIPTION:First ladies are understudied political actors in American politics. 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).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED Educating Student Activists in Divisive Times
DESCRIPTION:Update as of 3/12/18: due to inclement weather Mariame had to cancel her visit to our campus. 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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Depression on College Campuses Conference Closing Keynote Address: Strategic Engagements: UCLA Depression Grand Challenge & Resilience Peer Network
DESCRIPTION:In the past decade\, UCLA has developed a network of services to support student wellness across an array of domains extending far beyond health and mental health. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Efficient Hardware and Methods for Deep Learning
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The current resurgence of artificial intelligence is due to advances in deep learning. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2018 Helmut W. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Elastomeric Surfaces for the Rational Synthesis\, Assembly\, and Fabrication of Adaptive\, Functional Materials
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                We are investigating new synthetic strategies for the fabrication of adaptive\, hybrid structures comprised of combinations of soft materials (e.g.\, polymers) and hard materials (e.g.\, inorganic crystals) with functional (optical\, mechanical\, magnetic\, etc.) characteristics.  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)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Yusin Redux: Satire and Democratization in South Korea
DESCRIPTION:Ahead of a hotly contested presidential race in 2012\, a controversial painting by the artist Hong Sŏng-dam depicted the then candidate Park Geun-hye giving birth to her famous father\, whose Yusin regime (1972-1979) had once turned South Korea into an anticommunist police state. 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. Her publications include Writers of the Winter Republic: Literature and Resistance in Park Chung Hee's Korea (University of Hawai'i Press\, 2016) and Cultures of Yusin: South Korea in the 1970s\, forthcoming from the University of Michigan Press.

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. While at Penn\, she is working on two manuscripts: Radical Chastity: Abstinence and the Political Imagination in 19th Century Russian Literature and Writing the Black Atlantic in Imperial Russia. She has also contributed articles on topics related to Russian literary culture and politics to The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, The Paris Review\, The Guardian\, and elsewhere.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 Seminar: Jeff Fessler\, EECS\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Many applications\, including machine learning\, require optimization of convex cost functions. 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. This work is joint with Donghwan Kim.\n \nBio: Jeff Fessler is the William L. Root Professor of EECS at the University of Michigan. He received the BSEE degree from Purdue University in 1985\, the MSEE degree from Stanford University in 1986\, and the M.S. degree in Statistics from Stanford University in 1989. From 1985 to 1988 he was a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow at Stanford\, where he earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering in 1990. He has worked at the University of Michigan since then. From 1991 to 1992 he was a Department of Energy Alexander Hollaender Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Division of Nuclear Medicine. From 1993 to 1995 he was an Assistant Professor in Nuclear Medicine and the Bioengineering Program. He is now a Professor in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, Radiology\, and Biomedical Engineering. He became a Fellow of the IEEE in 2006\, for contributions to the theory and practice of image reconstruction. He received the Francois Erbsmann award for his IPMI93 presentation\, and the Edward Hoffman Medical Imaging Scientist Award in 2013. He has served as an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging\, the IEEE Signal Processing Letters\, and the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing\, and is currently serving as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging. He has chaired the IEEE T-MI Steering Committee and the ISBI Steering Committee. He was co-chair of the 1997 SPIE conference on Image Reconstruction and Restoration\, technical program co-chair of the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI)\, and general chair of ISBI 2007. His research interests are in statistical aspects of imaging problems\, and he has supervised doctoral research in PET\, SPECT\, X-ray CT\, MRI\, and optical imaging problems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Author’s Forum Presents: \"Early Modern Cartesianisms\"
DESCRIPTION:Tad Schmaltz (philosophy) and George Hoffmann (French) discuss Schmaltz's new book \"Early Modern Cartesianisms.\"\n\nAbout the book:\n\n\"There is a general sense that the philosophy of Descartes was a dominant force in early modern thought. 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.\"

DESCRIPTION:Garrett Graff\, magazine journalist\, author and historian\, describes an eye-opening true story of the government’s secret plans to survive and rebuild after a catastrophic attack on U.S. soil - - a narrative that spans from the dawn of the nuclear age to today.\n\nIn his engrossing new book\, Raven Rock\, Graff brings readers through the back channels of government to understand exactly what is at stake if our nation is attacked\, and how we’re prepared to respond if it is.\n\nFor sixty years\, the U.S. government has been developing secret Doomsday plans to protect itself\, and the multibillion-dollar Continuity of Government (COG) program takes numerous forms—from its plans to evacuate the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to how it will secure our most precious documents from the National Archives.\n\nIn Raven Rock\, Garrett Graff sheds light on the inner workings of the 650-acre compound (called Raven Rock) just miles from Camp David\, as well as dozens of other bunkers the government built for its top leaders during the Cold War.\n\nFree Admission. Free Parking. Book sales/signing and reception follow program.

SUMMARY:Performance:SMTD@UMMA Performance: Exercising the Ear: Music and Conversation with Augusta Read Thomas
DESCRIPTION:This program is free and open to the public. Seating is first come\, first served.\n\nAugusta Read Thomas\, one of today’s most acclaimed composers\, joins U-M composer Roshanne Etezady for conversation about music\, art\, and the creative process. “Thomas' music… fairly explodes with an extroverted boldness of utterance audiences and musicians alike find challenging yet immediate” (Chicago Tribune).\n\nSMTD students perform some of Thomas’ most intimate chamber works. This program is offered in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection\,' which celebrates the pioneering gallerist\, Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, who was a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. Kasle awakened local communities to the kind of avant-garde art she experienced in New York City and advocated for regional artists that she felt likewise broke with tradition.\n\nThe SMTD@UMMA performance series is generously supported by the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund and the Greg Hodes and Heidi Hertel Hodes—Partners in the Arts Endowment Fund.\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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits\, Solutions\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach- Out Series: Free Speech in Journalism
DESCRIPTION:A free press is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, democratic society. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Border Crossers
DESCRIPTION:Students across campus—from LSA\, Engineering\, Art and Design\, and Information—will work with visiting artist Chico MacMurtrie during winter semester 2018 planning\, building\, and launching a 40-foot robotic sculpture that poetically explores the notion of borders and boundary conditions. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Defense:  Active Metastructures for Light-weight Vibration Suppression
DESCRIPTION:Katie Reichl\nPhD Candidate\nAerospace Engineering \n\nThe primary objective of this work is to examine the effectiveness of metastructures for vibration suppression from a weight standpoint. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Croson received her Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University\, and has spent \nthe past 23 years doing research in experimental and behavioral economics. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Embodied Memory and Affective Imagination: Experiencing Food Allergies in Contemporary Japan
DESCRIPTION:Food allergies are on the increase across the industrialized world. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Never Again: The Political Lessons of Repression
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: What political lessons do victims of extreme repression learn and pass on to their children? 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:\"no monument except the ditch\": Negative Space and Lateral Grace on Grant and Twain's Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:Join the Nineteenth Century Forum for a paper workshop with Kyle McCormick\, PhD candidate at Michigan in English Language and Literature. \n\nThis essay is an attempt to think through changes in narrative form and methods of memorialization that emerge in the Civil War reflections of Ulysses S. Grant and Mark Twain. I use the debate over the narrative quality of Grant’s prose that developed between Matthew Arnold and Twain as a starting point from which to consider unique formulations of identity\, an event that resisted romantic codification of heroic identity in favor of a more dynamic and flux-like sense of self and occurrence.\n\nPlease RSVP to rcawkwe@umich.edu to receive a copy of the paper.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"'If You Should Lose Me': The Archive\, the Critic\, the Record Shop & the Blues Woman\"
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the problem of iconic blues women who’ve been “lost” to history\, Geeshie Wiley and Elvie Thomas\, as well as the critics who’ve loved and chased after them.  By placing the politics of queer archival studies and black performance theory in conversation with canonical blues historiographies\, the talk will explore the aesthetics and cultural resonances of Wiley and Thomas’s rare recordings.  It aims as well to trace a black feminist counter-history of record collecting and listening publics in order to tell a different story of blues lives that mattered.

SUMMARY:Other:A mechanistic approach to metal-organic framework synthesis and applications
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                                        As metal-organic frameworks continue to gain prominence and more targeted syntheses become the norm\, mechanistic elaboration of the synthesis of these materials\, specifically the formation of the secondary building unit (SBU) is paramount. 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)

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Deep Space Gateway and Transport
DESCRIPTION:Full title: Overview of the development and application of electric propulsion for the Power and Propulsion Element to enable the buildup of the Deep Space Gateway and Transport\n\nDr. Daniel A. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Brazil Initiative Lecture. 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development Seminar: Authentication and Targeted Transfers: Experimental Evidence from India.
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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: The role of a biology education gateway in promoting faculty teaching scholarship and increasing project impact
DESCRIPTION:The landscape of undergraduate biology education is populated by diverse and innovative efforts to engage and motivate learners. 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Teach-In: Reclaiming Our Campus
DESCRIPTION:From anti-Latinx writing on The Rock to racist posters in public spaces and residence halls\, our campus stands as a microcosm of the racist attacks occurring across the nation. White supremacists have sought to bring hateful rhetoric and ideas to the heart of campus\, igniting difficult conversations about speech in our classrooms\, on our campus\, in our virtual spaces\, and within our broader social interactions. \n\nWe affirm that white supremacy and racism have no place on our campus. 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Law and Economics Workshop: The Party Structure of Mutual Funds
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT.\n\nWe show that a parsimonious spatial model with two dimensions can explain the bulk of mutual fund voting. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Early Music Lecture and Master Class: Christa Patton\, baroque harps
DESCRIPTION:Virtuoso harpists were at the center of early modern musical life in the Hispanic dominions on both sides of the Atlantic. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Chelsea Manning: A Conversation with Heather Dewey-Hagborg
DESCRIPTION:Chelsea Manning speaks on the social\, technological\, and economic ramifications of Artificial Intelligence\, and on the practical applications of machine learning. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MAS Lecture | Can Late Paleo-Indian Response to Changing Resource Availability Inform Modern Political Policy?
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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Langhorne Slim
DESCRIPTION:As the phenomena of instant connection and the need for constant self-improvement further implant their tendrils into our culture\, the ability to truly connect with each other and ourselves has begun to fade. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits\, Solutions\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach- Out Series: Free Speech in Journalism
DESCRIPTION:A free press is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, democratic society. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Border Crossers
DESCRIPTION:Students across campus—from LSA\, Engineering\, Art and Design\, and Information—will work with visiting artist Chico MacMurtrie during winter semester 2018 planning\, building\, and launching a 40-foot robotic sculpture that poetically explores the notion of borders and boundary conditions. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ASP Workshop | Armenian Music\, Memorial Practices and the Global in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:From lullabies transmitting genocide memories and post genocide experience in Turkey (Bilal 2013\; 2006) to anamnesis\, a form of liturgical remembrance of God’s role in human life (Findikyan 2008)\, and an act of survival in exile (Kerovpyan\, 2015)\, music is constitutive to the Armenian experience worldwide. Both the shared affective participation in the resonance of melodies and rhythms and the tales and stories conveyed in sung musical texts help to create a bond of common experience and sense of belonging within and across Armenian populations spread throughout the globe. \n    \nThis workshop situates various genres of Armenian music—liturgical\, lullaby\, folk\, pop\, and contemporary—as a site from which to explore central questions for the Armenian experiences in the 21st Century. What ties together diverse Diaspora populations\, Anatolia\, and the Republic of Armenia? How is a shared Armenian experience conveyed and transmitted? Which institutions and practices sustain the Armenian community? How does music resonate with individuals while simultaneously creating both communal bonds\, tensions\, and distinctions? In what ways does music tie the past to the present and even help imagine a future? How do we contextualize the ‘traditional’ and the ‘experimental’ in contemporary Armenian music production?\n\nThe workshop will be followed by the screening of the film -  \"Singing in Exile\" (Directed by Turi Finocchiaro and Nathalie Rossetti\; 2015) at 6:30 PM\nSpace 2435\, North Quad\, 105 S State Street\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109.\n\nSaturday\, Mar 17\, 4 PM\nEvening Service and Musical Concert.\nSt. John Armenian Church\, 22001 Northwestern Hwy # 1\, Southfield\, MI 48075.\n\nParticipants:\nHakem Al-Rustom\, University of Michigan\nRoxana-Maria Aras\, University of Michigan\nMeilu Ho\, University of Michigan  \nAram Kerovpyan\, Centre for Armenian Modal Chant Studies of Paris\nAlyssa Mathias\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nJonathon McCollum\, Washington College\nChristopher Sheklian\, University of Michigan\n\nCaption: Paper · 416 ff. · 13.1 x 10 cm · Awendants\, Khizan in the Province Van · 1647. \nCredit: Utopia\, armarium codicum bibliophilorum\, Cod. 4: Armenian Hymnarium (Sharaknots) (http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/list/one/utp/0004)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Resonances of Walter Benjamin in Latin American Thought
DESCRIPTION:This event concerns the relations between the work of Walter Benjamin and critical thought in Latin America. Since the 1970s Benjamin’s work has been extremely influential for Southern Cone artists and intellectuals in particular\, and this influence took on unique characteristics during the dictatorships of the late 20 th century and the concomitant rise of neoliberalism\, when Benjamin’s idiosyncratic mix of Marxism and cultural criticism resonated with efforts to respond to the multifarious manifestations of power and ideology in the region. Willy Thayer\, Elizabeth Collingwood-Selby\, and Federico Galende (currently in residence in RLL as a visiting professor in Wi 18)\, are some of the central figures of contemporary Chilean critical thought\, and they have all been strongly influenced by Benjamin. This colloquium is an occasion to consider the intersections of Benjamin’s work and critical thought in Latin America\, including the ways in which the historical\, political\, and cultural registers that confronted Benjamin resemble or differ from those confronting contemporary Latin America.\n\nProfessors Thayer\, Collingwood-Selby and Galende will deliver papers\, followed by a discussion. This event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Transitioning Advanced Ceramic Electrolyte into Manufacturable Solid-State Batteries
DESCRIPTION:The transportation sector is the largest user of energy\, primarily relying on the combustion of fossil fuels. Electrifying transportation\, powered by renewable energy sources\, will have a substantial impact on reducing carbon emissions. While conventional Li-ion battery technology is enabling the infusion of some electric vehicles (EVs) into the market\, their performance\, cost\, and safety are not likely to achieve targets necessary to allow for supplantation of the internal combustion engine.  Significant breakthroughs in energy storage technology are necessary to achieve the Grand Challenge to produce and store clean energy to combat climate change.  Improvement in battery performance will also benefit other industries that use batteries such as biomedicine and microelectronics.   Clearly\, there is great need unmet for better batteries.  \n\nWhile recent efforts focus on improving electrode performance in conventional liquid-based chemistries\, an alternative approach is to increase performance and safety by developing solid electrolyte technology to enable all solid-state batteries (SSB).  Currently\, however\, widespread adoption of SSB is impeded by the lack of manufacturing competence.  Opportunities to meet this manufacturing need along with a review of current manufacturing approaches of state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Ambuj Tewari\, Professor of Statistics\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The origins of the field of machine learning can be traced back to a remarkable section titled “Learning Machines” in Turing’s famous “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” paper. The paper\, one of Turing’s two great papers\, was published in 1950 in the philosophy journal Mind. In the past 70 years\, the field has grown enormously. Technological progress has given us object recognition\, speech recognition\, and machine translation systems that we now take for granted. There has also been tremendous progress in understanding learning machines from the statistical\, computational and mathematical viewpoints. Yet\, what Turing wrote at the end of his 1950 paper remains true as ever: “We can only see a short distance ahead\, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.”\n\nIn this talk\, I will provide brief non-technical descriptions of a few projects\, both applied and theoretical\, that my research group is working on. I also hope to convey the message that machine learning\, like any technology\, is amoral. Whether it is put to good or bad uses in society is up to us. If learning algorithms control access to credit\, healthcare\, education\, and employment\, it becomes an ethical obligation to examine issues related to fairness\, accountability and transparency in machine learning.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nAmbuj Tewari is an associate professor in the Department of Statistics and the Department of EECS (by courtesy) at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His is also affiliated with the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS). He obtained his PhD under the supervision of Peter Bartlett at the University of California at Berkeley. His research interests lie in machine learning including statistical learning theory\, online learning\, reinforcement learning and control theory\, network analysis\, and optimization for machine learning. He collaborates with scientists to seek novel applications of machine learning in mobile health\, learning analytics\, and computational chemistry. His research has been recognized with paper awards at COLT 2005\, COLT 2011\, and AISTATS 2015. He received an NSF CAREER award in 2015 and a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2017.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundational Course Initiative (FCI) Seminar Series - Beyond Multiple Choice: Using Open-Ended Questions and Student Behavior Data to Promote Engagement and Understand Learning
DESCRIPTION:Large lecture courses often suffer from low participation. Many students are uncomfortable asking questions verbally during class. Using personal response systems\, e.g.\, i>clicker\, to ask multiple-choice (MC) questions is one technique often used to increase engagement in such courses. However\, using MC questions for formative assessment does not reveal the students’ reasoning. In this seminar\, we will discuss how allowing anonymous\, digital questions increases participation dramatically and how including justification along with a MC answer can uncover misconceptions. In the second half of the session\, we will engage in discussion about available student data for your courses and other data you’d like to be able to collect. Then\, we’ll consider what you might do with the data and how we can expand the community of instructors who are using student behavior data to inform their teaching.\n\nLearning Objectives\n1. Participants will learn what measures of student behaviors in class are available.\n2. Participants will learn what measures of student background are available and what IRB approvals are needed.\n3. Participants will learn how these data can inform instructors and create opportunities for personalized feedback.\n\nRescheduled from February 9\, 2018.\nLunch provided

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Defense: Optimal Output Modification and Robust Control using Minimum Gain and the Large Gain Theorem
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Caverly\nDoctor of philosophy\nAerospace Engineering\n\nThe input-output properties of a system to be controlled play an important role in determining control strategies that can or should be applied\, as well as the achievable closed-loop performance.  Optimal output modification is a process in which the system output is modified in such a manner that the modified system has a desired input-output property and the modified output is as similar as possible to a specified desired output.  The first part of this dissertation develops linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based optimal output modification techniques to render a system minimum phase using parallel feedforward control or strictly positive real by linearly combining sensor measurements.\n\nAll mathematical models of physical systems are uncertain.  Robust control can provide a guarantee of closed-loop stability and/or performance of a system subject to uncertainty\, and is often performed using the well-known Small Gain Theorem.  The second part of this dissertation introduces the little-known Large Gain Theorem and establishes its use for robust control.  LMI-based robust controller synthesis methods using the Large Gain Theorem are presented and tested numerically on a robust control benchmark problem to demonstrate their practicality and ability to solve robust control problems that could not previously be solved.\n\nDoctoral Committee:\n\nCo-Chair: \nAssistant Professor James R.

SUMMARY:Presentation:CCN Forum-Socioeconomic status and inhibitory control: Neural and environmental mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:Brief description: Inhibitory control ability in childhood is related to broad life outcomes in adulthood\, even above and beyond IQ. On average\, children from low-SES backgrounds are known to perform worse on inhibitory control tasks than their high-SES peers before beginning kindergarten. The mechanisms underlying this SES-related difference are largely unknown. This question is further complicated by the issue of defining \"SES\"\; while there is some evidence that traditional SES variables like family income or maternal education could be driving this effect\, it is also possible that more downstream effects of SES\, such as living in a disadvantaged neighborhood\, are important as well. This presentation will focus on preliminary data from the Michigan Twins Neurogenetics Study (MTwiNS) study\, which utilizes recruitment methods that oversample for neighborhood disadvantage. This presentation will explore the mechanisms underlying the relationship between SES and inhibitory control. In particular\, it will focus on an investigation of the relationships between a behavioral inhibitory control measure\, a neural inhibitory control measure\, and different SES-related variables.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Provocative Display in and around Gottfried Benn's Morgue und andere Gedichte
DESCRIPTION:*pre-reading in English available on request*\n\nU-M Germanic Languages & Literatures Winter Colloquium\n\nFriday March  16\, 2018\n\n2:00-4:00 PM\n\nRoom 3308 Modern Languages Building\n\nPeter McIsaac's essay (available on request in advance) analyses Gottfried Benn’s 1912 Morgue und andere Gedichte (Morgue and other poems) in terms of exhibition. Beyond situating the poems alongside public displays of bodies in morgues and specimens and models used in medical schools and popular anatomy exhibitions of Benn’s day\, the essay also uses concepts from Mieke Bal’s Double Exposures to illuminate how the poems themselves operate in exhibitory terms. With this approach\, the Morgue poems become comprehensible as configurations of material objects that can be visited in the mind’s eye and that stand in critical relationship to popular exhibits and urban culture around 1900.\n\nPeter McIsaac is Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. His most recent publication\, \"Medical Collections and Medical Education at the University of Michigan\,” appeared in the 2017 volume Object Lessons and the Formation of Knowledge. The University of Michigan Museums\, Libraries and Collections\, 1817–2017\, eds. Kerstin Barndt and Carla Sinopoli. His article \"'Es schmeckt nach Kino': Provocative Display and Gestures of Exposure in and around Gottfried Benn’s Morgue und andere Gedichte\" is forthcoming in German Studies Review.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact Germanic Languages & Literatures at 734-764-8018 or germandept@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminars | Constraints on Interacting Massive High Spins
DESCRIPTION:There seem to be no good examples of UV complete theories that have low-lying massive higher spin states isolated by a large gap\, despite the relative ease of constructing effective field theories describing such states.  We discuss constraints from analytic dispersion relations and subluminality of eikonal scattering that may help to explain this and provide insight into the possible interactions of massive higher spins.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:International Territorial Rights: An Institutional Account
DESCRIPTION:A state’s bundle of territorial rights includes an \"international\" territorial right.  This is the presumptive right of a state to a defined territorial space that other states (and international actors) have a duty to respect.  This international dimension of territorial rights is distinct from and prior to the more local aspects of territorial rights.  For instance\, a justification of a state’s jurisdictional authority over persons within its dominion does not by itself say why the state (or the political society it represents) has any international claim to the territory within which it exercises this authority.  Recent arguments for territorial rights invoke\, variously\, the right of individuals to a location in which to maintain conditions of justice\, the right of acquisition\, and the right of self-determination.  Contra these arguments and others\, I propose instead that a state’s international territorial right is ultimately an institutional right\, a right that is defined and sanctioned by the rules\, norms and practices of the global order.  This institutional account of international territorial rights has significant implications for our understanding of global justice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory: An Inspection Model of Learning in Networks
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nWe propose a tractable model of social learning on directed networks. Before adopting a new innovation (e.g. an electric cars)\, an agent sees the adoption decisions of her neighbors\, and then chooses whether to inspect the innovation to assess its quality. We characterize the learning dynamics of the unique equilibrium via a system of ODEs\, and investigate how learning depends on the network structure. In tree networks\, all direct and indirect links contribute to an agent's learning\; moreover\, one direct link is more valuable than an infinite chain of indirect links. But not all links are beneficial: An agent's learning decreases when her neighbors also learn from her\, and when her neighbors are linked to each other.

SUMMARY:Performance:LIFE ON THE SWERVE: Once Upon a Time Called Now!
DESCRIPTION:LIFE ON THE SWERVE: Once Upon a Time Called Now! is a show based on the performance methods of RHODESSA JONES & THE MEDEA PROJECT: Theater for Incarcerated Women/HIV Circle\, which are rooted in autobiographical theater and Greek myth. Ms. Jones will be accompanied by renown musician/composer\, Idris Ackamoor\, and long - time Medea actress\, Felicia Scaggs as they present a musically informed theatrical production.  There will be a Q & A/Discussion with Rhodessa Jones and accompanying performers after the show.  The Medea Project serves incarcerated\, formerly incarcerated\, and HIV + women and community members\, empowering them to heal their lives by connecting to the larger mythical fabric of the world's great stories linking their own stories to them.  Some of the themes in the presentation relate to issues of HIV\, addiction\, prison\, loss\, and recovery.  Myth involves the invocation of deities as well as primordial entities: these stories connect our individual lives to patterns of change\, transformation\, growth\, and power.\n\nTHE MEDEA PROJECT is a production of Cultural Odyssey\, which continues to develop original productions that demonstrate their vision of “ARTS AS SOCIAL ACTIVISM”. In 1989\, on the basis of material developed while conducting classes at the San Francisco County Jail\, Rhodessa Jones created “Big Butt Girls\, Hard Headed Women”\, a performance piece based on the lives of the incarcerated women she encountered. During the work’s creation\, Jones and jail officials were made aware of issues that were specific to female inmates\, such as guilt\, depression\, and self-loathing\, which arose in response to feelings of failure in the face of community. These issues directly contribute to recidivism among female offenders. Based on this observation\, Jones founded THE MEDEA PROJECT: THEATER FOR INCARCERATED WOMEN to explore whether an arts-based approach could help reduce the numbers of women returning to jail.\n\nIn 2008\, THE MEDEA PROJECT joined forces with University of California San Francisco’s Women’s HIV Clinic to create theater that explores what it means to be living with the virus in the twenty-first century. For the past seven years\, The Medea Project: HIV Circle has performed shows all around the United States\, sharing the Truth and the stories of what it means to be female and infected or affected.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Seismic Investigation of the Magma System beneath Laguna del Maule\, Chile
DESCRIPTION:The Laguna del Maule volcanic field\, straddling the Chile-Argentina border at 36° S\, is currently the subject of a multi-disciplinary collaborative investigation supported primarily by the U.S. National Science Foundation Integrated Earth Systems program and the Observatorio Volcanológico de Los Andes del Sur (OVDAS) of SERNAGEOMIN. At least 50 post-glacial (younger than 20 ka) eruptions from more than two dozen vents encircling the 25x17 km lake basin have produced rhyodacitic-to-rhyolitic lava flows and ash deposits totaling > 30 km3\, suggesting that a large\, active\, silicic magma reservoir fuels this system. Since 2007\, GPS and InSAR geodesy reveal that Laguna del Maule has been experiencing rapid uplift at 20 to 25 cm/year centered within the ring of silicic vents. Moreover\, a deformed paleo-shoreline that has been 36Cl-dated implies magma-driven surface uplift of > 60 m and that growth of this large shallow reservoir has occurred over at least the past 9\,400 years. UW-Madison\, Cornell\, and OVDAS have deployed a seismic array covering ~450 km2 that surrounds the lake basin. The array consisted of 18 broadband stations in 2015\, and was enlarged to 47 stations in 2016 (37 broadband\, 10 short-period). The full array will remain in place until late March 2018. A variety of seismic studies are planned for the seismic array data\, including body-wave tomography\, surface-wave tomography\, attenuation tomography\, teleseismic tomography\, receiver function analysis\, seismic interferometry\, and focal mechanism and moment tensor determination. The main goals are to detect the magma chamber underlying Laguna del Maule\, characterize its dimensions and properties\, and assess the state of stress of the system.\n\nI will report on results from surface-wave tomography\, and compare them to the results from other geophysical techniques. Due to the small array aperture (~30 km) and the limited frequency range of usable ambient noise\, we combined three types of data for the surface-wave tomography: standard noise correlation analysis using pairs of stations within the array\, correlation of earthquake coda at pairs of array stations\, and differential dispersion for ambient noise for pairs of array stations correlated with remote stations. Somewhat unexpectedly\, the Vs image shows evidence of a strong upper crustal low velocity anomaly along the southwest side of the lake\, which does not extend under the entire lake basin. Depending on how the boundaries of the low-Vs anomaly are defined\, we obtain estimates of ~25 to ~400 km3\, and melt percentages of 5% to 8%. The position of the anomalous body is very close to the estimated source area for the uplift measured by InSAR and GPS. A Bouguer gravity low\, interpreted to reflect the magma reservoir\, is observed in the same area. In contrast\, magnetotelluric results image a large low-resistivity zone near the north side of the lake and much smaller anomalies elsewhere.\n\nRecent fluid dynamic models of bubble migration and accumulation have shown that volatiles can provide a mechanism whereby basaltic magma recharge could catalyze the eruption of rhyolite without imparting a substantial thermal or physical signature on the erupted lavas. This leads to the idea that during the Holocene\, rhyolitic magma batches have been repeatedly extracted from a broad spatial footprint beneath the lake basin\, but the magma batches that have fed the individual eruptions were likely of relatively modest volume\, comparable to the geophysical results.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Politics of Housing as Healthcare: Intergovernmental Competition and Social Deviance
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHomelessness is a public health problem. Chronic-homelessness perpetuates poor health outcomes\, while adverse health outcomes contribute to chronic-homelessness. In 2015\, the Obama Administration mandated evidence-based\, non-punitive homelessness policy approaches. However\, municipal policies vary widely\, ranging from providing healthcare and housing services to criminalizing homelessness. Criminalization policies perpetuate homelessness and incur high costs. Housing and healthcare is most effective and reduces costs compared to\ncriminalization. Why do municipalities approach chronic-homelessness so differently\, despite federal action and programmatic costs? This dissertation applies a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design to understand municipal characteristics associated with disparate policy outcomes and explain the effects of intergovernmental relations and social constructions of the homeless on municipal policy decision-making.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Seminar Title:“Dynamics of Translation”
DESCRIPTION:Translation of proteins by the ribosome is intrinsically dynamic\, involving specific assembly of ribosomes on an mRNA\, elongation of the polypeptide chain through directional movement on that mRNA\, and subsequent termination and recycling of the subunits. We have developed single-molecule approaches\, combined with structural methods\, to provide a real time view of translation and its control. We will show how translation elongation is controlled by RNA structure\, nascent peptides and drugs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Winter 2018 Colloquium- Alexandra D'Arcy ~ University of Victoria
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on findings from dialect acquisition\, historical linguistics\, and variationist sociolinguistics\, this talk addresses one of the most long-standing and central questions in the study of language change: How does change advance across successive generations of speakers? Past research has engaged in post-hoc theorizing about the continuous advancement of change but it has never addressed it directly. Because children must speak differently from their parents for any change to both survive and progress\, only real time observation of the same speakers can provide answers to this question. I introduce a project that explicitly sets out to observe the onset and early progression of change in order to track the diachronic evolution of specific linguistic features\, zeroing in on the period when children begin to participate in change by shifting their language model along an apparently pre-set direction of change.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:ASP Film Screening | Singing in Exile
DESCRIPTION:Aram and Virginia\, an Armenian couple from the diaspora\, transmit an ancestral tradition of chant which is in danger of disappearing to a troupe of European actors. During the process of creating a new play\, the couple takes the company on a trip to Anatolia (also known as Asia Minor\, bounded by the Black Sea to the north\, South Caucasus and Iran to the east\, the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Aegean Sea and Sea of Marmara to the west) where the Armenian civilization has been destroyed. Along the way\, the questioning of the actors brings to the forefront the wealth of this culture: the chant becomes a language of creation and sharing\, the breath of life. It is a journey where the sounds\, the music\, the words\, the bodies and the cries impart a memory and a future.

SUMMARY:Performance:Stephen Kellogg
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade Massachusetts songwriter Stephen Kellogg has performed more than 1\,500 concerts in more than a dozen countries\, both solo and with a band. In 2013 he gave a TEDx Talk about job satisfaction. Recently on a tour of Europe\, SK (as fans often referto him) made a detour to play the Middle East\, Africa and an aircraft carrier for the Armed Forces. Upon returning to the USA\, he started his annual lyric writing campaign to raise money and awareness in the fight against pediatric cancer. At first glance none of this has anything to do with his music\, but Stephen would argue that \"it is the whole story. The music I make is a reflection of how I spend my time and what I care deeply about.\" His Americana-tinged\, sometimes folk\, often rock\, occasionally pop stylings can make Kellogg hard to define\, and his recent four-part album \"South\, West\, North\, East\" embraces the notion of genre-splitting to the fullest. CBS Radio has called Stephen Kellogg \"the best live act you've never seen\,\" and No Depression calls him \"the best songwriter you're not listening to.\" We think it's time to change this situation. Stephen Kellogg appeared on the Saturday night bill at the 2018 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits\, Solutions\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach- Out Series: Free Speech in Journalism
DESCRIPTION:A free press is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, democratic society. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:ASP Workshop | Evening Service and Musical Concert
DESCRIPTION:The evening will begin in the church sanctuary with the traditional Evening Service of the Armenian Apostolic Church\, the Yeregoyan Jamerkutyun\, which serves as a preparation for both the night ahead and for the following liturgical day. It includes the variable Hampartsi Sharagan\, a cycle of hymns associated with Psalm 120 (121)\, which begins with the incipit: “I lift up mine eyes to the mountains. From there my help will come.” \n    \nBy offering an Evening Service\, the participants in the workshop will be able to experience in action the liturgical music that many of the papers and presentations address the day before. The Evening Service will be offered by the priests and deacons of the St. John Armenian Church\, with the pastor Fr. Aren Jebejian presiding\, and participation by the choir director Dn. Rubik Mailian and guest vocalist Dr. Aram Kerovpyan. \n    \nAfter the Evening Service there will be a short concert and musical description by the renowned Armenian musician\, clarinetist Hachig Kazarian. Mr. Kazarian is a Julliard-trained musician with a Masters Degree in Ethnomusicology. He led the popular band the “Hye Tones” for many years\, and has played with John Berberian and Richard Hagopian\, among others. Mr. Kazarian will perform several Armenian songs\, including a demonstration of a “folk” song with musical patterns similar to the Hamparsi Sharagan. \n    \nThe evening will conclude with a round-table discussion on the state of Armenian music and the challenges of teaching various genres of Armenian music in the Diaspora. Participants will include Dr. Aram Kerovpyan\, Dn. Rubik Mailian\, and Hachig Kazarian.\n\nCaption: Paper · 416 ff. · 13.1 x 10 cm · Awendants\, Khizan in the Province Van · 1647. \n\nCredit: Utopia\, armarium codicum bibliophilorum\, Cod. 4: Armenian Hymnarium (Sharaknots) http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/list/one/utp/0004
