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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 UID:50513-11790992@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50513 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Inclusion,Social Justice LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180220T094016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180315T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UROP - Creating Posters with PowerPoint DESCRIPTION:Creating presentation posters can be a big challenge – arranging the layout is often more difficult than creating the content!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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) UID:46856-10656091@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46856 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Middle East Studies LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - West Conference Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180315T143959 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180316T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180316T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Black Performance Archives and Methodologies DESCRIPTION:Faculty roundtable discussion of archives and methodologies of black performance\, drawing from the research of Professors Brooks\, Gonzalez\, and Parrish.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:50450-11768330@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50450 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Professional Development LOCATION:Palmer Commons - 1013 Seminar Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180313T130624 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180316T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180316T133000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Lunch and Learn - Meet and Greet DESCRIPTION:Lunch and Learn - Meet and Greet!\nMarch 16 | 12-1:30 pm | 8th Floor Weiser Hall \n \nJust started the lab and want to connect with other students?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

The 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.

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

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

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

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

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 UID:49844-11552203@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49844 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180313T181558 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180317T170000 SUMMARY:Performance:Masters Recital: Hyunju Jung\, piano DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM: Prokofiev - Violin Sonata no. 2\, op. 94a\; Beethoven - Trio in B-flat Major\, op. 11\; Glinka - Trio Pathetique in D Minor.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

The photographs picture well-known or\, at times\, untold stories of violence\, tragedy\, and loss. Each scene is visually stunning yet viewers may be surprised at the elements of beauty and tranquility present in these tragic landscapes. The images remind us that disaster is often a collective experience that can tear apart the seams of a culture’s social fabric and shape histories of a culture well after an event. UMMA docents will guide visitors as they contemplate photography’s role in depicting and shaping representations of past and present landscapes of devastation.\n\nLead support for 'Aftermath: Landscapes of Devastation' is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

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

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

The installation of his work as a mural in a central public space on our campus is intended to provoke conversation in place of silence. Much reporting on Central America depicts the problem of gangs and violence as far away and impossible to solve\, and the victims and perpetrators of this violence as essentially alien. With the hashtag #NoHumanIsAlien\, the artist and organizers invite reflection on a crisis of violence in Central America that has been exacerbated\, and in important ways created\, by policies originating in the United States. We hope to spark and enrich debate on our campus about current immigration policies\, including the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status for Salvadoran migrants and the asylum claims of tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children\, children who have fled the conditions depicted in Andino’s work. \n \nThis exhibit\, a large-scale comic strip along the halls of the second floor of Mason Hall\, will be open for viewing from March 19 - April 6\, 2018. \n \nJoin us for the opening reception with Germán Andino on March 26\, 2018 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm.

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.

One proposed mechanism for this greater prevalence of depression in high-risk teens is impaired ability to regulate stress. As such\, an understanding of the hormones involved in stress processing can help elucidate these mechanisms. While much of this work has focused on the release of the stress hormone cortisol\, there is growing evidence that the neuroprotective hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) may play a critical role in stress regulation and that the ratios of DHEA to cortisol may provide more meaningful information about individual differences in stress processing than either hormone alone. This talk will explore various conceptualizations of DHEA to cortisol ratios and will present implications for using ratios to help understand mechanisms of risk for psychopathology in adolescents at high familial risk for psychopathology.

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

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

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

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

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

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

However\, the mechanisms linking early adversity and later mental health are unclear\, limiting the development of effective intervention and prevention strategies. I will present the results of my graduate work investigating the neural and behavioral consequences of early adversity\, including a meta-analysis of child maltreatment and brain reactivity\, as well as explorations of unique effects of different types of early adversity on brain reactivity and mental health. I will then discuss implications of this work for policy and practice.\n\nBio: \nTyler Hein is a fifth-year doctoral candidate in Developmental Psychology. Her current work investigates neurobiological mechanisms linking childhood adversity to adolescent mental health\, and her dissertation evaluates whether distinct forms of adversity have differential impact on brain function and mental health. Tyler’s long-term goal is to conduct research that directly aids in the development of effective prevention and intervention strategies to improve child and family well-being.

DESCRIPTION:CSAAW WORKSHOP\nAbstract:\nMotivated by applications in neuroscience\, in this talk\, I will present some methodology for studying samples of networks. The brain is a system composed of multiple units interacting with each other\, and hence it can be represented as a network. Imaging techniques have made possible to analyze the connectivity between regions in the brain using brain networks. Moreover\, the availability of data from multiple subjects allows us to study these networks at the population level\, which can help us to understand the characteristics of the brain connectivity under different conditions\, such as brain disorders. I will talk about classification of networks\, and present a method able to identify important nodes for prediction\, and supervised community detection\, in which the goal is to identify partitions of the nodes that can distinguish between different populations.\n\nPLEASE RSVP AND PROVIDE FOOD PREFERENCES. \nhttps://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6nC6diSTmwYsdqR UID:51132-11976206@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51132 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biointerfaces,Biology LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 730 Complex Systems Conference Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180312T104202 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180319T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180319T140000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Politicization of Place: UKIP and Perceptions of Local Diversity in the UK DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAlthough most social science studies involving geography assess the effect of place on politics\, we ask whether and how politics\, and specifically political campaigns\, can change individuals' perceptions and understandings of their local geographies. If geographic context effects arise from both objective experience and subjective perceptions\, can \"context effects\" or \"community effects\" on political attitudes and behaviors be constructed or at least influenced by the political environment of the person? We use the case of UKIP campaign contact in the UK and measure perceptions of place using thousands of Google Maps drawn by the respondents of the 2014-2015 British Election Study.

In this course we will view and discuss a Teaching Company series of lectures of the same title by Cal Tech physics professor and author Sean Carroll\, who describes for a lay audience what particle physics is all about and how the Higgs gives mass to everything in the universe\, \nmaking life possible. There will be two lectures per session with 20 minutes of discussion following each. Craig Stephan is a physicist who worked for 30+ years at Ford Research and Argonne National Laboratories. He has led several OLLI discussion groups\, including ones on cosmology and climate change. \nThis Study Group is for those over 50\, and will meet Mondays March 19-April 23.

Understanding why people hold misperceptions is critical if we hope to limit their political influence. In this talk I highlight several key factors that contribute to false beliefs about politics. First\, I demonstrate that partisan media facilitate inaccurate political beliefs but that this effect is not due to partisan echo chambers. Instead\, I suggest partisan media outlets might increase misperceptions by offering news consumers cues regarding the legitimacy of the evidence surrounding these claims. Second\, I illustrate how both distinct emotions and political intuition\, not simply partisan bias\, facilitate acceptance of political falsehoods.

As deployed over decades of academic institutionalization\, these categories have proven useful for reconstructing scenes of literary creation as the key to understanding our literary past. This talk explains how twentieth-century African American literature recommends new categories for literary history\, ones less invested in idealized notions of inspiration or creation. For most of the century\, authors\, editors\, and publishers struggled mightily over the question of exactly who the audience for black writing was. As the material interface between a work and its audience\, book design became an important point of contestation in these struggles. By attending to this highly visible yet not always noticed interface\, the talk considers how twentieth-century book design negotiated between readers and markets\, actual and imagined communities\, to constitute a new literary tradition.\n\nKinohi Nishikawa is Assistant Professor of English and African American Studies at Princeton University. His writing on African American print and popular culture has appeared in PMLA\, Book History\, and African American Review. Kinohi’s first book\, Street Players: Black Pulp Fiction and the Making of a Literary Underground\, is forthcoming from the University of Chicago Press.\n\nAdditional support generously provided by: the Clements Library\; LSA\; and the Departments of Afroamerican and African Studies\, American Culture\, Anthropology\, and History of Art UID:49110-11375493@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49110 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:African American,History,Literature,Media LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3222 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180119T115601 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180319T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180319T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gendering the Gulf Campus: Designing the City State University DESCRIPTION:Join guest speaker Bader Al-Bader\, a Ph.D. Student in Architecture & Design\, for a discussion on design of universities in the Gulf\, Arab world\, connected to presence/absence of gender segregation.

Coming into being alongside skyscrapers\, stadia\, and man-made islands are universities and campuses. In a region in which governmental discourse often revolves around human development\, higher education plays a major role in forming citizens and developing economies. In this talk\, Bader al-Bader focuses on \n uwait University's new sex-segregated mega-campus on the edge of the city\, examining its design as an overtly gendered space. Since Kuwait is a city state\, and its university the only public institution of higher learning\, much hope rests upon the institution's efficacy. The new singular campus consolidates\, integrates\, and homogenizes the disparate extant university campuses dispersed across the city. The new singular campus establishes a novel form of separation that leverages architectural design and persuasion skills. Keeping in mind the constitutional requirement of equity and non-discrimination\, the design of the new mega-campus exhibits the major lengths to which the design endeavor went in attempting to emphasize equality through mirroring. \n\nBader al-Bader is a Ph.D. student in the Taubman College of Architecture and\nUrban Planning at the University of Michigan\, interested in studying the spaces in\nwhich of the magic of higher education takes place.

The MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab has been used to isolate and study 236 MeV muon neutrino events originating from charged kaon decay at rest. The muon kinematics and total cross section have been extracted from this data. Notably\, this result is the first known-energy\, weak-interaction-only probe of the nucleus to yield a measurement of omega (energy transferred to the nucleus) using neutrinos\, a quantity thus far only accessible through electron scattering. I will discuss the significance of this measurement\, and these monoenergetic neutrinos in general\, for elucidating both the neutrino-nucleus interaction and oscillations.\n UID:51013-11941995@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51013 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180209T104249 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180319T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180319T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Positive Links Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 19\, 2018\n4:00-5:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nMichigan Ross Campus\nRoss Building\n701 Tappan \nColloquium\, 6th Floor\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-1234\n\nRegister: http://myumi.ch/J7Adg \n\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people.

How to Thrive in a Multicultural World\, Markus will show how recognizing and including interdependence within workplace culture cycles can bridge divides and enhance individual motivation\, creativity\, and performance.\n\nAbout Markus:\nHazel Rose Markus is Professor of Psychology and Davis-Brack Professor in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. She is also co-director of SPARQ: Social Psychological Answers to Real-world Questions. Her research focuses on how culture shapes mind and behavior. She examines how multiple forms of culture (e.g.\, national origin\, ethnicity\, race\, social class\, gender and occupation) influence the self\, and in turn\, psychological functioning\, including cognition\, emotion\, motivation and intergroup processes.\n\nHost: \nJulia Lee\, Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations\n\nSponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, Samuel Zell & Robert H.

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.

Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works\, why it is important\, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

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

Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

The installation of his work as a mural in a central public space on our campus is intended to provoke conversation in place of silence. Much reporting on Central America depicts the problem of gangs and violence as far away and impossible to solve\, and the victims and perpetrators of this violence as essentially alien. With the hashtag #NoHumanIsAlien\, the artist and organizers invite reflection on a crisis of violence in Central America that has been exacerbated\, and in important ways created\, by policies originating in the United States. We hope to spark and enrich debate on our campus about current immigration policies\, including the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status for Salvadoran migrants and the asylum claims of tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children\, children who have fled the conditions depicted in Andino’s work. \n \nThis exhibit\, a large-scale comic strip along the halls of the second floor of Mason Hall\, will be open for viewing from March 19 - April 6\, 2018. \n \nJoin us for the opening reception with Germán Andino on March 26\, 2018 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yet\, corruption may plague the process\, leading to sub-optimal outcomes. Using confidential data on the universe of electricity consumption and billing records from a large state in India\, I examine the relationship between greater state control and consumer welfare. With a close-election Regression Discontinuity Design\, I demonstrate how constituencies aligned with the state government experienced a differentially higher rate of satellite measured nighttime lights than constituencies that just lost. I develop new measures of corruption using electricity billing data and propose to study whether these methods were selectively used in certain constituencies. I will model the incentive structures for governments\, including ways to consolidate voter bases or gain new ones. Using exogenous price changes\, I plan to estimate demand in order to make welfare calculations to understand the impacts of state capacity in electricity provision. \n\nConnor Cole\n\nTitle: Short and Long-term Labor Market Effects of Program Eligibility Cut-Offs - Evidence from the Medicaid Program\n\nAbstract: This paper examines theory and empirical evidence regarding the effect of program eligibility cut-offs on household labor market outcomes. Many transfer programs feature eligibility cut-offs where there is a discontinuous shift in program eligibility or benefit levels depending on a family's income or assets. While such eligibility cut-offs have been found in some programs to have clear contemporaneous labor supply effects\, there is little evidence on the long-term effects of exposure to such cut-offs on labor supply decisions\, family income or human capital accumulation. After demonstrating that the effects of these cut-offs depends on willingness to pay for the program in question\, discounting of future consumption and the costs of adjustment\, this paper turns to an empirical setting in the Medicaid program. In the 1990s\, a sharp discontinuity in Medicaid eligibility rules related to child birthdate was present in many states due to a federal mandate\, but it was made irrelevant by the creation of state children's health insurance programs later in the decade. This paper shows preliminary evidence that the discontinuity had a weak contemporaneous effect on a variety of labor market outcomes for parents\, but had no detectable long-term effects on these outcomes after the discontinuity was removed.

The Mixed Fate of Local Urbanizing Communities in China DESCRIPTION:The urbanization process in China reveals the ultimate struggle between two forms of socialist public property of the land (State and Collective ownership)\, and at the same time\, a competition for the spoils of industrialization and urbanization between the state and the collectives (the villages). \n \nDrawing mainly on cases in the peri-urban area of the Pearl River Delta\, this talk will discuss aspects of China’s rapid urbanization. It will explore strategies that village collectives have put in place to defend their economic\, social and cultural autonomy in the face of the desire of the state to both claim control of ever greater portions of the country’s collective land\, and to urbanize as much as possible of the population. \n \nIn this process\, creative forms of local organization and institutional innovation in China have developed\, and some villages are thriving. The new strengths of the communities\, however\, also reveal new forms of vulnerability of the local communities. \n \nLuigi Tomba is Director of the University of Sydney China Studies Centre. Before joining the Centre in 2017 he was for 15 years at the Australian National University\, most recently as the Associate Director of the Australian Centre on China in the World.

His most recent book The Government Next Door: Neighborhood Politics in Urban China\, was awarded the Association of Asian Studies 2016 Joseph Levenson Prize as best book on Post-1900 China.

Do institutional differences between diverse and homogeneous migrant communities influence economic development? This paper argues that heterogeneity and disruption of social ties not only impede informal cooperation\, but also increase demand for formal institutions. Greater reliance on formal institutions\, in turn\, facilitates arm’s length transactions and entrepreneurship. I test this argument using an original dataset on the size and composition of population uprooted by the post-WWII border changes in Poland. I find that localities settled by more homogeneous migrants were more successful in reestablishing private-order institutions that relied on informal enforcement\, such as volunteer fire brigades\, while localities populated by heterogeneous migrant population relied on formal third-party enforcement for the provision of public goods. Economically similar during state socialism\, more heterogeneous migrant communities registered higher incomes and entrepreneurship following the transition to a market economy.

I will discuss our studies of the Weyl semimetal candidate\, 1T’-MoTe2\, and layered magnetic insulator\, CrI3\, in the atomically thin limit\, made possible using this technique. In MoTe2\, lowering dimensionality suppresses the inversion symmetric monoclinic phase\, driving the Weyl ground state up to and beyond room temperature. The different electronic structure of thin samples is studied by magnetotransport measurements at low temperature. In CrI3\, we observe a very large negative magnetoresistance effect comparable to colossal magnetoresistance in the manganites. I will explain the origin of this effect and discuss some new opportunities in spintronics incorporating 2D magnets.\n UID:42206-9584894@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42206 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180213T131449 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180320T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180320T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Distinguished Lecture. White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Nation's Divide DESCRIPTION:Since the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment\, every time African Americans have made advances towards full participation in our democracy\, White reaction has fueled a deliberate and relentless rollback of their gains. The end of the Civil War and Reconstruction was greeted with the Black Codes and Jim Crow. Then there was the so-called Southern Strategy and the War on Drugs that disenfranchised millions of African Americans while propelling presidents Nixon and Reagan into the White House. Carol carefully links these and other historical flashpoints when social progress for African Americans was countered by deliberate and cleverly crafted opposition. She pulls back the veil that has long covered actions made in the name of protecting democracy\, fiscal responsibility\, or protection against fraud\, and renders visible the long lineage of White rage\, adding an important new dimension to the national conversation about race in America.\n\nCarol Anderson is professor of African American Studies at Emory University. She is the author of the critically-acclaimed \"White Rage\,\" published by Bloomsbury (2016). \n \nProfessor Anderson is also the author of \"Eyes Off the Prize: The United Nations and the African-American Struggle for Human Rights\, 1944-1955\" (Cambridge University Press)\, which was awarded both the Gustavus Myers and Myrna Bernath Book Awards. Her book \"Bourgeois Radicals: The NAACP and the Struggle for Colonial Liberation\,1941-1960\" was published by Cambridge in 2014. \n \nHer research has garnered substantial fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies\, the Ford Foundation\, National Humanities Center\, Harvard University\, and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. \n \nShe has also served on working groups dealing with race at Stanford’s Center for Applied Science and Behavioral Studies\, the Aspen Institute\, and the United Nations. In addition\, based on the strength and accessibility of her research\, the leadership at Amnesty International\, USA\, the American Civil Liberties Union\, the Ford Foundation\, and others have used \"Eyes Off the Prize\" to frame and examine their human rights work in the United States. \n \nThis has also led to sought after commentary in Foreign Policy\, the Washington Post\, and CNN.com that places contemporary issues dealing with race\, human rights\, and politics in a historical perspective. Her Washington Post op-ed\, “White Rage\,” was the most widely shared for the paper in 2014. \n \nProfessor Anderson was a member of the U.S. State Department’s Historical Advisory Committee and the Board of Directors of the Harry S. Truman Library Institute and the National Economic and Social Rights Initiative. \n \nShe is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Miami University\, where she earned bachelor's and master's degrees in Political Science (International Relations) and History. She earned her PhD in history from The Ohio State University.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of History\, Department of Sociology\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Institute for the Humanities\, King-Chavez-Parks Visiting Professors Program and the Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (Office of the Provost)\, and the LSA Dean's Office UID:42844-9664426@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42844 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:African American,History,Human Rights,International,Politics,Race LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180227T140931 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180320T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180320T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Histrionics of the Pulpit: Disability\, Trans-Tonality\, and Religious Enthusiasm DESCRIPTION:Early Evangelical cultures – the radical revivalists of the 18th century who sought to feel\, sensibly\, their new birth and warming of the heart – offer a surprising chapter in trans histories. While few of these religious radicals claimed explicit experiences that would fit any definition of contemporary “trans” identity\, they nonetheless embraced a new transformed tone of sensation and expression that transformed gender in revival spaces and devotional practices. The fever pitch of inspired preaching inflamed the passions\, and disordered the mind and the senses. Even the “Father of American Evangelicalism\,” George Whitfield\, described his conversion and preaching as a trans-gendering labor: he was a woman in travail\, “crying out” and “delivering” the New Birth to his hearers. Female preachers – especially women of color -- were deemed masculine in their visage and vocal tone as they exhorted and responded to spiritual conviction. Some specifically claimed spiritual genderlessness\, and performed this transformed divine identity through \"grum and shrill\" preaching tones. \n\nThese cultural debates over the “trans-ing” of religious tone persisted through the nineteenth century\, with fears of religious madness\, “feminizing” devotional practices\, and the political masculinization of evangelical women. In this sense\, trans-tonality helps investigate trans/gender history beyond contemporary questions of identity\, and poses new relationships between trans histories\, disability studies\, and religious cultures.\n\nSCOTT LARSON is a Lecturer III of American Culture at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His research and teaching focus on transgender studies\, history of gender and sexuality\, and early American culture. He is a scholar of religion\, secularity\, and sexuality with a focus on the early Anglophone Atlantic world. His work has appeared in the Journal of Early American Studies and on Notches history of sexuality blog. He received a M.A. in Theology at Yale Divinity School and received his Ph.D. in American Studies at George Washington University in 2016.

We describe the acid-base titration of a single DNA duplex confined within the α-hemolysin (α-HL) nanopore for up to 4 h\, while monitoring the ionic current through the nanopore. Modulation between two states in the current-time trace for duplexes containing the C:C mismatch in proximity to the latch constriction of α-HL is attributed to the base flipping of the C:C mismatch. As the pH is lowered\, the rate for the C:C mismatch to flip from the intra-helical state to the extra-helical state decreases\, while the rate for base flipping from the extra-helical state to the intra-helical state remains unchanged. Analysis of the pH-dependent kinetics of base flipping using a hidden Markov kinetic model demonstrates that protonation/deprotonation occurs while the base pair is in the intra-helical state. We also demonstrate that the rate of protonation is limited by transport of H+ into the α-HL nanopore. Our experiments correspond to the longest single-molecule measurements performed using a nanopore\, and demonstrate its application in interrogating mechanisms of single-molecule reactions in confined geometries.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nHenry White (University of Utah) UID:50282-11701587@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50282 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180307T112249 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180320T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180320T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Visualizing Jewish Materialities DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed artist and film-maker\, Yael Bartana stages encounters between history and fantasy\, prophecy and ritual\, questioning how the present is infiltrated by the past and vice versa. Bartana will present Inferno (2013)\, which depicts the building of the third Temple in São Paulo by a Brazilian Neo-Pentecostal Church. Inferno collapses ancient Middle Eastern history into a surreal present\, asking questions about monumental construction\, destruction\, and the weight of the past on material presence and imagined futures. After showing Inferno alongside clips from other works\, Bartana will engage in conversation about Jewish materialities and her methodology of “historical pre-enactment” with scholar of Hebrew and German literature and visual culture\, Maya Barzilai\, and scholar of ancient Jewish history and visuality\, Rachel Neis.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

The simplest special case is Gauss' law of quadratic reciprocity. In the so called `regular\, self-dual' case much progress has been made in the roughly 40 years since Langlands made these conjectures. In these talks I will discuss recent progress in regular\, but non-self-dual case. In this case the automorphic forms in question can be realized as cohomology classes for arithmetic locally symmetric spaces\, i.e.\, quotients of symmetric spaces by discrete groups. Thus instead of the Langlands correspondence being a relationship between algebra and analysis\, it can be thought of as a relationship between algebra and topology. This realization of the Langlands correspondence is in many ways more concrete. It also admits to generalizations not envisioned by Langlands\, for instance relating mod p Galois representations with mod p cohomology classes.\n\nIn these talks I will describe the expected Langlands correspondence in the special cases of modular curves (an example of the `self-dual' case) and arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds (an example of the `non-self-dual' case). I will try both to present the general picture and to give numerical examples. I will also describe various recent theorems in the latter case due to Lan\, Harris\, Thorne and myself\; to Peter Scholze\; and to Allen\, Calegari\, Caraiani\, Gee\, Helm\, Le Hung\, Newton\, Scholze\, Thorne and myself.\n\nReception for the Speaker will follow at 5:00PM in the Upper Atrium\, East Hall on March 20\, 2018\n\nSponsored by the Rainich Lecture Series UID:50243-11690341@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50243 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate School,Lecture,Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180316T164557 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180320T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180320T173000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian Conversation Group DESCRIPTION:Join us for our conversation group of all levels!

In the decades after the American revolution\, schoolchildren routinely made maps. Map drawing and geography were particularly appropriate subjects for girls\, both a pathway to literacy and a means of demonstrating accomplishment. Many went on to become teachers themselves\, and carried these practices with them into an ever-growing national network of female academies and seminaries. By drawing their country\, students were making the nation manifest\, visualizing territory that most would never see firsthand. Map drawing was part of an intensely graphic education\, and a closer look at these charming\, detailed\, and elegant artifacts reveals a great deal about female education in the early republic.\n\nBooks will be available for sale and signing.

Each semester\, Writer to Writer pairs one esteemed University professor with a Sweetland faculty member for a conversation about writing. \n\nThis month Writer to Writer welcomes Susan Scott Parrish. Susan Scott Parrish is a Professor in the English Department and the Program in the Environment at UM. Her research addresses the interrelated issues of the environment\, race and knowledge-making in the Atlantic world from the seventeenth century up through the present\, with a particular emphasis on southern and Caribbean plantation zones. Her new book\, The Flood Year 1927: A Cultural History (Princeton UP\, 2017)\, examines how the most devastating\, and publicly absorbing\, US flood of the twentieth century took on meaning as it moved across media platforms\, across sectional divides and across the color line. Her first book\, American Curiosity: Cultures of Natural History in the Colonial British Atlantic World (UNCP\, 2006)\, is a study of how people in England and in British-controlled America conceived of—and made knowledge about—American nature within Atlantic scientific networks. This book won both Phi Beta Kappa’s Emerson Award and the Jamestown Prize.\n\nWriter to Writer takes place at the Literati bookstore and are broadcast live on WCBN radio. These conversations offer students a rare glimpse into the writing that professors do outside the classroom. You can hear instructors from various disciplines describe how they handle the same challenges student writers face\, from finding a thesis to managing deadlines. Professors will also discuss what they want from student writers in their courses\, and will take questions put forth by students and by other members of the University community. If there's anything you've ever wanted to ask a professor about writing\, Writer to Writer gives you the chance.

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

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

The installation of his work as a mural in a central public space on our campus is intended to provoke conversation in place of silence. Much reporting on Central America depicts the problem of gangs and violence as far away and impossible to solve\, and the victims and perpetrators of this violence as essentially alien. With the hashtag #NoHumanIsAlien\, the artist and organizers invite reflection on a crisis of violence in Central America that has been exacerbated\, and in important ways created\, by policies originating in the United States. We hope to spark and enrich debate on our campus about current immigration policies\, including the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status for Salvadoran migrants and the asylum claims of tens of thousands of unaccompanied Central American children\, children who have fled the conditions depicted in Andino’s work. \n \nThis exhibit\, a large-scale comic strip along the halls of the second floor of Mason Hall\, will be open for viewing from March 19 - April 6\, 2018. \n \nJoin us for the opening reception with Germán Andino on March 26\, 2018 from 5:00 - 6:30 pm.

An Analysis of Panel Data From the MET Project DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nBuilding on prior research suggesting increases in the percent students of color and low-income students in a class is associated with overall lower quality instruction\, we use panel data to examine how teachers’ instruction changes given the different racial\, ethnic\, and socioeconomic status compositions of their classes. We analyze these associations along dimensions of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System. Results of fixed-effects regression analysis find that instruction is robust with respect to changes in classroom composition within teachers. This finding suggests that other factors such as teacher sorting or resource allocation likely account for the lower quality of instruction experienced by these student populations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They found that their classrooms were fundamentally transformed when they decided that the courses were not about specific factual content\, but rather about the skills students take away that are relevant to their lives and the world they inhabit. In their courses\, students rose to high expectations when instructors communicated confidence that students could reach those expectations and provided the resources needed. Furthermore\, with deliberate effort\, Dorf and LaVaque-Manty created explicitly inclusive courses to the benefit of all students. These kinds of changes make possible large courses that inspire students to say\, “This changed my life.”\n\nIn developing courses that tap into student creativity and imagination\, tools for teaching at scale (multiple choice quizzes\, auto-graded homework\, etc.) still play an important role. In order to make the more labor-intensive aspects of courses work at large scale\, it’s essential to staff these courses with a team of instructors and to balance the automated with the artisan. The presenters will discuss how they achieved this balance.\n\nIn the second hour\, participants will engage in a discussion of how to apply the principles that promote creativity\, imagination\, and inclusivity in their own courses. In particular\, we will consider how to make content relevant to students’ lives and their world\, how to plan for and assemble the resources needed\, and how to set expectations that are high enough\, but not so high that students get lost. We’ll also address the reasonable fear of failing to provide an adequate educational experience for students when making radical changes to your approach to a course.\n\nLunch provided UID:50451-11768331@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50451 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Professional Development LOCATION:Palmer Commons - 1013 Seminar Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180124T084857 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Fulbright U.S. Student Program Info Session for Study/Research DESCRIPTION:U-M Fulbright U.S. Student Program Advisors (FPA) will detail specific components of the Fulbright application and provide helpful tips on how to design your application.

The method is formulated for continuum spacetime of any dimension\, in real time and infinite volume\, and is thus complementary to other numerical methods\, such as the lattice. The method harnesses conformal symmetry\, but in a manner applicable to general\, non-conformal QFTs. Specifically\, the input is information about the UV CFT from which the QFT originates. The output is the physical IR QFT spectrum\, along with real-time\, infinite-volume correlation functions. I will discuss applications to 2D phi^4 theory\, where we have performed novel computations of correlation functions at any coupling\, such as the Zamolodchikov c-function along the full RG-flow. The 2D Ising model provides a highly-nontrivial cross-check of our numerics.

The simplest special case is Gauss' law of quadratic reciprocity. In the so called `regular\, self-dual' case much progress has been made in the roughly 40 years since Langlands made these conjectures. In these talks I will discuss recent progress in regular\, but non-self-dual case. In this case the automorphic forms in question can be realized as cohomology classes for arithmetic locally symmetric spaces\, i.e.\, quotients of symmetric spaces by discrete groups. Thus instead of the Langlands correspondence being a relationship between algebra and analysis\, it can be thought of as a relationship between algebra and topology. This realization of the Langlands correspondence is in many ways more concrete. It also admits to generalizations not envisioned by Langlands\, for instance relating mod p Galois representations with mod p cohomology classes.\n\nIn these talks I will describe the expected Langlands correspondence in the special cases of modular curves (an example of the `self-dual' case) and arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds (an example of the `non-self-dual' case). I will try both to present the general picture and to give numerical examples. I will also describe various recent theorems in the latter case due to Lan\, Harris\, Thorne and myself\; to Peter Scholze\; and to Allen\, Calegari\, Caraiani\, Gee\, Helm\, Le Hung\, Newton\, Scholze\, Thorne and myself.\n\nSponsored by the Rainich Lecture Series UID:50244-11690342@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50244 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate School,Lecture,Mathematics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180530T080833 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introductory Techniques Seminars presented by The Michigan Center for Materials Characterization DESCRIPTION:This continuing series of seminars is designed to introduce potential users of our center to a range of the techniques that are employed with our instruments.

Open to all.\n\nLydia Davis\, who was awarded the Man Booker International Prize in 2013\, is an American writer noted for literary works of extreme brevity\, commonly called “flash fiction.” Davis is also a short story writer\, novelist\, essayist\, and translator from French and other languages\, and has produced several new translations of French literary classics\, including 'Swann’s Way' by Marcel Proust and 'Madame Bovary' by Gustave Flaubert. Her books include a novel\, 'The End of the Story' (1995)\, several full-length story collections—'Can’t and Won’t' (2014)\, 'Varieties of Disturbance' (2007)\, 'Samuel Johnson Is Indignant' (2002)\, 'Almost No Memory' (1997)\, and 'Break It Down' (1986)—and several small-press and limited-edition volumes.

In recent years\, less than 7% of domestic physics PhDs awarded nationwide have gone to students from underrepresented minority (URM) groups\, even though they make up 35% of the college age population. Increasing diversity in a physics PhD program can be difficult\, especially if the program receives a low number of “traditionally qualified” URM applicants. Inspired by successful STEM Bridge programs at San Francisco State\, Fisk-Vanderbilt\, and Michigan\, the Ohio State University MS-to-PhD Physics Bridge Program (OSU-BP) was established in late 2012 with unanimous faculty support to increase the pool of qualified applicants from underrepresented groups\, and accepted its first cohort of four Bridge students in August 2013. I will discuss activities and events that preceded and followed the creation of the OSU-BP\, which have coincided with an increase in the representation of URM students in the OSU Physics PhD program from less than 5% of domestic students in 2012 to almost 20% in autumn 2017. These include building a core group of committed faculty colleagues\, partnering with the American Physical Society Bridge Program for nationwide recruiting and other support\, working with colleagues in Physics Education Research (PER) to develop new graduate physics academic support programs\, and expanding holistic PhD admissions practices. I will also discuss on-going and future efforts\, opportunities\, and obstacles for increasing diversity in graduate programs at OSU and elsewhere. I would like to acknowledge the essential contributions of OSU Bridge Program Co-Director Jay Gupta\, PER colleagues Andrew Heckler and Chris Porter\, and many other colleagues who worked so hard to help these efforts succeed.\n UID:50367-11724549@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50367 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180315T120200 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180321T170000 SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:GLACE residential humanities program Mass Meeting DESCRIPTION:Come learn about this new\, interdisciplinary program.

Zajonc Collegiate Professorship in Psychology Inaugural Lecture - East and West: A Cultural Psychological Perspective DESCRIPTION:Please join Dean Andrew Martin in honoring Professor Shinobu Kitayama on his appointment to the Robert B. Zajonc Collegiate Professor of Psychology.\n\nThe study of culture in psychology has come of age. I was fortunate to live this development through my professional career. Along with a number of colleagues\, I have explored cultural pluralism – the hypothesis that there are multiple equilibriums in human cultural adaptation while relying on epistemological positivism – a set of scientific methods employed to evaluate claims made on different cultures. One primary domain of interest has been a macroscopic comparison between (relatively interdependent) East and (relatively independent) West. The resulting field is now called cultural psychology. In this lecture\, I will discuss three core themes of the field and put forward new questions that have emerged on the horizon. Specifically\, the success of cultural psychology was initially anchored in (i) an experimental approach to document cultural variations in mentality. Subsequently\, it has been reinforced by both (ii) an effort to identify situational\, historical\, ecological\, and\, more recently\, evolutionary forces that shape the contemporary cultural variations in mentality and (iii) the adoption of neuroscience methods to assess the “depth” of cultural influences on mentality. Now\, the field is poised to address novel questions on the biological mechanisms that are recruited to support culture\, including neuroplasticity\, gene x culture co-evolution\, and epigenetic pathways of socio-cultural adaptation.

But the two categories frequently conjoin to form more complex hybrids: many pre-­cadential hemiolas are inserted inside displacements\, and the Brahmsian hemiolic cycle inserts a displacement inside of a hemiola. These hybrid formations are related to the formal category of parenthesis usually traced back to Koch (1792)\, but they have a more historically distant origin\, in a 14th-­‐century conception of syncopation: as a dialectic  not of displacement (Verschiebung) and restoration \, but rather of fragmentation (Zerteilung) and reassembly. This paper suggests that this older conception of syncopation provides a framework for theorizing a variety of complex metric formations. Examples are provided from music of Beethoven\, Brahms\, Dvorak\, and West African drum ensembles.  UID:51082-11956304@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51082 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music,North campus LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Glenn E.

Memories of Disintegration: Ibero-American Experimental Film (Ann Arbor Film Festival) DESCRIPTION:As the profile of Ibero-American cinema\, the Spanish- and Portuguese-language films of Latin America\, continues to rise on the festival circuit\, a strong commitment to experimentation remains in the cinema emanating from the region. First-rate film schools in Cuba\, Argentina\, and Mexico\, among other nations\, are producing a new generation of filmmakers who eschew the proliferation of digital techniques\, returning to tactical analog modes of production (This program features work made on Video8\, Super 8\, 16mm\, Super 35mm\, and VHS). Playing with notions of self-reflexivity and nostalgia\, real and imagined\, these filmmakers test the boundaries of both narrative and documentary genres. Showcasing the diverse voices of these talented young artists\, each of the six films highlight the vision and ingenuity of Ibero-America. These shorts have screened at Cannes\, Toronto International Film Festival\, and New York Film Festival\, along with strong Latin American showcases such as the Morelia\, Mar del Plata\, Valdivia\, and Havana film festivals. Curated by Josh Gardner of Cinema Lamont\, Detroit.\n\nUse our discount code for 15% off tickets: AAFF56_UMLACS UID:50838-11881898@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50838 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Festival,Film,Latin America LOCATION:Off Campus Location - SCREENING ROOM CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
