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 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.

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.

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.

She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Benton Professor of Behavioral Science in \nManagement at the Ross School of Business\, University of Michigan. He specializes in basic research into human emotions\, decision-making\, social identity\, ethics\, and action. This work has been applied to the study of consumers\, patients\, doctors\, salespersons\, managers\, military officers\, and organizations. Recently he has investigated biological bases of manager and consumer behavior by use of fMRI and genetic analyses to study mental behavior. \n\nWe will explore what goes on in our brains (as consumers and managers) when we make decisions. Three universal\, fundamental mental phenomena will be examined: theory of mind processes (based on research into autism)\, human empathy (as related to mirror neurons in the brain)\, and the underpinnings of the Machiavellian (i.e.\, psychopathic) mind in business and politics. Time permitting\, we will consider how our genes operate\, in conjunction with environmental and psychological triggers\, to influence our behavior.\n\nThis is the third in a six-lecture series. The subject is Behavioral and Social Sciences: Real World Applications. The next lecture will be March 29\, 2018. The title is The Why and How of Behavioral Economic Strategies to Promote Healthy Decisions.

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.

Invaders have been widely observed to trigger changes in species’ interactions and abundances and even cause catastrophic extinction cascades of native species. Classical food web models have focused on explaining and predicting such ecological responses on relatively short time scales. However\, these models typically neglect changes in selection pressure on native species caused by the invaders and their subsequent effects on the structure and stability of food webs on longer time scales. I address these issues using an eco-evolutionary model containing both invasion and mutation events. It integrates classical assembly models\, which describe the emergence of a food web via sequential invasions\, with so-called evolutionary food web models or large community evolution models\, which describe food web emergence via speciation due to small mutation steps. The model uses body masses and diets as the key traits that determine metabolic rates and species interactions. I vary the frequency of invasion events in relation to speciation events and the relatedness between native species and invaders. I then analyze the size of the emerging network (in terms of total biomass and number of morphs or ‘species’)\, its ecological and evolutionary stability\, and its species turnover pattern. The results show that food webs evolve most diverse and accumulate the most biomass when being exposed to frequent invasions of species similar to native species. The system is also most stable in such invasion context\, both evolutionary (i.e.\, lower variability in the number of morphs/species over time) and ecologically (i.e.\, lower variability in total biomass over time) UID:49830-11543792@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49830 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Complex Systems,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Physics LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 747 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180317T121702 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lunch with DPSS DESCRIPTION:Please join Graduate Rackham International (GRIN) for an interactive meeting with DPSS officers and representatives to learn more about how your experience as at the University can be better served by DPSS.

Kennedy\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\nSchool of Aerospace Engineering\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\n\nThe application of optimization algorithms to aerospace vehicle design offers the potential to extract performance benefits in highly-coupled systems. Design optimization tools can be used to better understand complex trade spaces and to compare optimized concepts to achieve an unbiased comparison. However\, large-scale design spaces produced from high-fidelity simulations place new computational demands on optimization tools. This presentation will address the development and application of new optimization algorithms and techniques\, focusing on structural and aeroelastic design cases. These applications include the development of advanced topology optimization algorithms for aerospace structures\, and the development of an aeroelastic design optimization tool\, called FUNtoFEM\, for fixed wing and rotorcraft applications.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nGraeme Kennedy is an Assistant Professor in the School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology\, where he leads his research group focused on developing novel design optimization methods for structural and multidisciplinary aerospace systems. Before joining the Georgia Tech faculty\, he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan in the Multidisciplinary Design Optimization lab. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) under the supervision of Prof. Joaquim R.R.A. Martins in 2012 and his M.A.Sc. from UTIAS under the supervision of Prof. Jorn Hansen in 2007. He received his undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2005.

Pannier\, Ph.D.\nAssociate Professor\, Biological Systems Engineering Department\nUniversity of Nebraska\n\n“Priming Nonviral Gene Delivery for Stem Cell and Vaccination Applications”\n \nAbstract:\nGene delivery is the delivery of exogenous genetic material to cells with the goal of altering molecular physiology to produce a cellular or systemic phenotype change. Unlike many conventional drugs\, free nucleic acids are not readily internalized by eukaryotic cells due to size and charge\, but many methods of their delivery to cells are the subject of intense research\, including viral and non-viral methods. Non-viral gene delivery methods are much less efficient than viral methods\, but flexibility in genetic cargo\, ease of transfection protocols\, and lack of safety issues make them advantageous alternatives. Strategies to engineer more effective non-viral gene delivery materials and methods are highly dependent on variable parameters such as cell type and application\, and have focused on engineering increasingly more complex lipid and polymer vectors\, but the rational design of new technologies is limited by our current knowledge of several key cellular barriers. To expand our knowledge of the “biology of transfection” our group has made efforts to understand the process of gene delivery\, using diverse tools include modeling\, gene expression analysis\, high throughput screening\, cell priming\, and the development of new material systems\, for stem cell and vaccination applications.

An analysis using industry and trade data DESCRIPTION:This paper estimates the relative efficiency of skilled and unskilled workers across countries using a new method that relies on disaggregated industry and trade data. I document that the share of exports in skill-intensive industries rises sharply with income levels. Interpreted through the lens of a gravity model\, this pattern suggests that rich countries have low relative unit production costs in skill-intensive industries. For standard trade elasticities\, the implied differences in the effective costs of skilled labor services across countries cannot be rationalized by differences in the skilled wage premia\, which leads me to infer that skilled labor is relatively efficient in rich countries compared to in poor countries. Integrating these findings into a development accounting exercise for the manufacturing sector\, I find that accounting for skill-specific efficiency differences reduces the size of skill-neutral labor efficiency differences: the difference in skill-neutral TFP differences between rich and poor countries in manufacturing falls from a factor of 4.3 to a factor of 2.6.

I will present data collected at multiple taxonomic scales\, including phylogenomic analyses of large bird radiations and fine-scale population genetic analyses of single species. These data highlight the importance of the physical landscape in driving speciation\, but\, contrary to much biogeographic theory\, provide scant evidence that specific events in Earth history have influenced speciation in a unified fashion. Instead\, the relative timing of speciation events within lineages is largely idiosyncratic and influenced primarily by natural history characteristics of the species\, such as dispersal ability.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/V55JU1ZnLHM UID:49259-11397842@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Natural Sciences,Research LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180406T123012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T171500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:McKinsey Women in STEM Panel for Undergraduates and Advanced Professional Degree Students DESCRIPTION:Join current McKinsey Business Analysts and Associates to hearabout their career journeys as undergraduates and graduate students in STEM fields.

This contribution explores correlations between language comprehension and performance in general chemistry\, as well as how general chemistry students interact with text-based learning materials. Structure Building\, a model that describes how linguistic information is incorporated into one’s existing knowledge base\, guides our work. We demonstrate that comprehension ability correlates strongly with chemistry course performance. An examination of variables predicted to interact by the Structure Building Framework suggests that high comprehension ability may be sufficient to compensate for low prior knowledge. We also report the design and analysis of a multiple-testing intervention strategy that differentially aids those of low comprehension ability. The effect of question type (multiple choice versus elaborative interrogation) on this multiple-quizzing strategy has also been investigated. With regard to text-based learning materials\, we carried out linguistic analyses of popular general chemistry texts\, the results of which suggest that these materials are appropriate for only low-knowledge students. Further studies probing the extent to which students benefit from reading texts on chemical bonding and redox concepts revealed an expertise reversal effect\, corroborating these textual analyses. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSam Pazicni (University of New Hampshire) UID:47252-10849571@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47252 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CHEM CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180301T094545 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Populism\, Pluralism\, and Ordinary People DESCRIPTION:Benjamin McKean is a political theorist whose research concerns global justice\, populism\, and the relationship between theory and practice. His work has been published in the American Political Science Review\, Political Theory\, and the Journal of Politics. His manuscript _Disposed to Justice_ argues that people subject to unjust institutions and practices should be disposed to solidarity with the others who are also subject to them\, even when those relations cross state borders. A neoliberal global economy characterized by inequality\, financialization\, and transnational supply chains creates a widely shared interest in resisting injustice\, grounded in the way that existing institutions impair freedom. Identifying this interest as the basis for solidarity provides a new perspective not only on the possibility of achieving global justice\, but on the nature and limits of contemporary egalitarian liberalism. He is also at work on a second book project tentatively titled _Political Freedom and Resentment_ about the relationship between democracy and populism UID:50561-11802352@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50561 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Politics LOCATION:Haven Hall - 5670 Eldersveld CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180222T154322 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180322T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Public Health Undergraduate Major Information Session DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Undergraduate Information Session to learn more about the new public health major and admission requirements.

The law governing trustees\, broker-dealers\, 401(k) plan managers and other investment fiduciaries has evolved to push them gently toward this consensus. But these laws still provide broad scope for fiduciaries to recommend that clients invest instead in specific assets which they believe will produce “alpha” by outperforming the market. Seeking alpha comes at a cost\, however\, in giving up some of the benefits of the well-diversified\, low-cost\, appropriate risk baseline. Too little attention has been given in fiduciary law to this tradeoff and thus to when seeking alpha is prudent and beneficial for savers\, and when it is not.\n\nThis Article begins to fill that gap by making two contributions. First\, we provide the first benchmark estimates of how much alpha is required before ordinary investors would be better off departing from the consensus. For example\, we estimate that a person of average risk aversion would annually need to beat the market by (i.e.\, obtain alpha of) between 5% and 15% before being willing to entirely forego the benefits of diversification and hold an individual stock (and that during a financial crisis a person would need an annual alpha between 9% and 18%). Second\, we consider the implications of our results for the various branches of law governing investment fiduciaries. We propose generally that fiduciaries should be informed about these alpha tradeoffs and explain them to their clients before recommending (or executing) investments that deviate from the low-cost\, well-diversified\, age-appropriate exposure standard. We argue that through new technology this kind of information can be given to retirement savers and others at quite low cost. Our results also have a variety of more specific applications. For example\, our work shows that the value of diversification increases during periods of market upheaval\, and therefore duty to diversify of trustees of personal trusts and of employee retirement plans should likewise strengthen during such periods.

In the three decades that emergency management has unfolded in Michigan\, its cities have seen the privatization of public institutions\, disinvestment in public infrastructures\, and other acts of violence against the public sphere. Extending long histories of the extraction of labor\, land\, and wealth from communities of color in the United States\, emergency management has been focused on black majority cities\; in the last 10 years\, around 52% of Michigan’s African-American residents have been disenfranchised by emergency management as compared to 3% of white Michiganders.\n\nOn December 14\, 2017\, Governor Rick Snyder announced that there were\, at the moment\, no emergency managers governing any of Michigan’s cities. That announcement prompts questions about the ongoing consequences and legacies of emergency management—a project that has become dormant rather than invalidated. What has the impact of emergency management been on Michigan’s cities? What lessons should be learned from these experiences? How can these lessons inform resistance in other spaces of threatened or ongoing dedemocratization?\n\nReception: 5:00pm\n\nPanel Discussion: 6:00pm\nMark Fancher\, Racial Justice Project\, ACLU of Michigan\nCatherine Coleman Flowers: Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise\nShea Howell\, The James and Grace Lee Boggs Center\nHelen Moore\, Keep the Vote\nLouise Seamster\, The University of Tennessee Knoxville\nModerated by: Andrew Herscher\, The University of Michigan\n\nOn Friday\, March 23rd\, a related workshop will be convened in Ann Arbor. This conversation will take up some of the issues presented on Thursday\, considering Emergency Management as not only a local but also a national project\, which engages with systems of infrastructure\, government\, and culture at multiple scales. \n\nThe events are co-sponsored by theTaubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan and the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University.

These trade links\, flourished for around six hundred years and\, in due course\, extended to diplomatic relations and even cultural interactions. The height of the contacts was\, however\, unquestionably in the first two centuries C.E. The Romans procured gemstones (chiefly beryl or aquamarine)\, textiles (silk and cotton)\, ivory\, aromatic woods\, spices (primarily pepper and cardamom) and peacocks from South Asia. In return\, Rome exported wine as well as metals such as gold\, silver\, copper and antimony to South Asia. The evidences for these contacts include the limited but significant references to the trade in ancient Greek\, Latin\, Tamil and Sanskrit literature and the recurrent discoveries of Roman coins\, ceramics and a few other types of Roman objects in different parts of India and adjoining regions. The archaeological evidences within Europe are very meager mainly because of the nature of the commerce—most of the trade goods (spices\, textiles\, ivory\, peacocks) reaching Europe were perishable commodities that have not survived for archaeology. \n\nBased on extensive field research in South Asia and Europe\, this lecture unfolds the little-known story of the Rome-South Asia contacts. The presentation takes you on a unique voyage across the places through which the Romans travelled in India and the interesting things—coins\, ceramics\, sculptures –that they left behind in those sites.

Several different models of international tribunals were established for Rwanda\, Sierra Leone\, Cambodia and Lebanon. In 2002\, the International Criminal Court began operations. Critics have labelled these efforts as too slow\, too expensive and a hindrance to peace efforts. Have these international courts had any effect on the commission of atrocities in times of conflict? Do they serve the interests of victims or contribute in any way to post-conflict transitions? Mr. Koumjian will talk about the future prospects for international criminal law\, and whether or not there will ever be a justice mechanism for atrocity crimes ongoing today in places like Syria\, Yemen and Myanmar. \n \nNicholas Koumjian has worked at various international criminal tribunals for the past 17 years\, including the International Criminal Court\, International Court for the Former Yugoslavia\, Special Panels for Serious Crimes in East Timor\, State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina\, and Special Court for Sierra Leone. From 2007-2012\, Mr. Koumjian was Senior Trial Attorney for the prosecution of Charles Taylor\, former President of Liberia for crimes in Sierra Leone. Following his appointment by the United Nations Secretary General\, he has served in Cambodia as the International Co-Prosecutor at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal. In June 2017\, he completed final arguments in the trial of Nuon Chea\, “Brother Number 2” in the Khmer Rouge regime and Khieu Samphan\, the former Head of State on charges for crimes committed by that regime between 1975-1979. It is estimated that almost 2 million people lost their lives during that regime and the charges include genocide\, enslavement\, forced marriage and rape.\n\nSponsored by the Armenian Studies Program\, the Donia Human Rights Center\, and the Program in International and Comparative Studies.

Combining present observations with portraits of the Greek musicians and writers\, Holst-Warhaft's book is both a peon of praise for the music and poetry that the author first discovered in the Greece of the 1960's\, and a reminder of how much the country has changed since it returned to democracy in 1974. Having played in the orchestras of such legends as Mikis Theodorakis and Dionysis Savvopoulos\, the author had a bird's eye view of 20th century Greek music at its apogee. Translating Greek poetry and prose later brought her in close contact with some of the leading writers of the period. With the discovery of Greek music and poetry came the forging of lasting friendships with these giants of Greek culture. This eclectic compilation of poetry\, prose\, translation\, memoir\, and songs captures the enigmatic\, hybrid nature of Greece\, a country that has always had the ability to create extraordinary beauty out of suffering.\n\nGail Holst-Warhaft was born in Australia. Besides being a poet she has been a journalist\, broadcaster\, prose-writer\, academic\, musician\, and translator. In the 1970's\, while researching a book on Greek music\, Holst-Warhaft performed as a keyboard-player with Greece's leading composers\, including Mikis Theodorakis. Among her many publications are Road to Rembetika (1975\, 5th edition 2013)\, Theodorakis: Myth and Politics in Modern Greek Music (Hakkert\, Amsterdam\, 1980)\, Dangerous Voices: Women's Laments and Greek Literature (Routledge\, 1992)\, The Cue for Passion: Grief and its Political Uses (Harvard\, 2000)\, I Had Three Lives: Selected Poems of Mikis Theodorakis (Livanis\, 2005)\, and Penelope's Confession (poems\, Cosmos\, 2007)\, Losing Paradise: The Water Crisis in the Mediterranean (Ashgate\, 2010). She has published translations of Aeschylus\, and of a number of modern Greek poets and prose-writers.

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.

Her landscape prints – made from impressions on paper from carved and inked woodblocks – have received critical acclaim in both Japan and the US\; the Autumn\, Sleeping Bear Dunes series is in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Brodbeck applies principles of Japanese aesthetics\, including subtlety\, austerity and naturalness\, to her art practice in Kalamazoo\, Michigan. Many people have felt a strong sense of place in her work. Still more connect with the sense of calm\, contemplation and deep reflection that place can evoke.

The group of images on exhibit is from a project called On Blue: A Meditation. Blue is… tranquil pools of clear water\; languid clouds drifting in azure skies\; mood indigo\; cobalt glass\; cerulean blue eyes\; sapphire cornflowers\; poignant music\, emotion and sentiment. Blue is a rare color in nature\, yet found in the largest things such as sea\, lake and sky\, as well as some of the smallest: sapphires\, forget-me-nots and delicate tropical butterflies.

She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

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.

With the move towards datafication—and the attendant algorithmic logics used to make sense of it—everyday life has become mediated in new ways. For media studies\, this presents a challenge to figure out where our discipline fits. What does this mean for our objects of study? Our research questions? Our methods?\n\nThis miniconference will bring together graduate students and faculty from the University of Michigan community with invited guests whose work grapples with the impact of data on media studies in order to grapple with these questions. This daylong mini-conference will feature three panel discussion\, each kicked off by a guest speaker who will give a 30 minute presentation about their work and the provocations it introduces about what datafication means for media studies. Three members of the university of Michigan community will give 5 minute responses\, and then all four panelists will participate in a group discussion.

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.

To remain economically viable\, manufacturers must reduce their leading time while lowering costs and raising efficiency. Modeling and simulation are used currently to increase manufacturing efficiency as well as to improve the way products are designed. For example\, finite element models are widely used for designing parts and for predicting defects. However\, the technological future is challenged by a multitude of materials-related phenomena whose essential role often extends over many scales in time and space. That is why traditional modeling is being replaced by multiscale modeling\, which has become a paradigm shift in understanding the way we design functionalities of a product. Multiscale material modeling enables the prediction of the relations between structure\, processing and properties of complex materials. Multiscale modeling of materials enables the design of materials that have specified properties and performance needed for specific parts. It allows the simulation not only of the material\, but also of the processing of those materials\, and provides online answers of the structure - property relations during manufacturing. In this presentation the focus will be on integrated simulations of molecular dynamics and finite elements to bridge time and space scales in modeling materials exposed to complex stress\, strain and thermal states\, or complex large deformations. Two case studies of using such multiscale modeling will be presented\, namely ultrasonic welding and micro-deep drawing.

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

These methods typically require describing potentially complex conditional distributions. In this work\, we describe a model-agnostic simplification to such conditional distributions when the selection stage can be expressed as a sequence of (randomized) convex programs with convex loss and structure inducing constraints or penalties. Our main result is a change of measure formula that expresses the selective likelihood in terms of an integral over variables appearing in the optimization problem. The region of integration can often be interpreted geometrically in terms of the normal cycle of the balls in the corresponding penalty. Using this change of measure\, we give a brief description of \"inferactive data analysis\"\, so-named to denote an interactive approach to data analysis with an emphasis on inference after data analysis.\n\nThis is joint work with Xiaoying Tian\, Nan Bi\, Snigdha Panigrahi and Jelena Markovic.

The result was an exchange\, amalgamation\, and reinterpretation of material goods that testify to the close relationships the French maintained with various Native American groups. Yet\, closer examination suggests that both the French and Natives employed material goods in distinctive ways to ensure survival and promote their interests in the colonial encounter\; borrowing was merely an expedient strategy. This interpretation shifts attention away from the amicable relations\, altruistic behaviors\, and hybridization that researchers previously posited toward an understanding grounded in more pragmatic forms of materiality that agents practice to ensure the persistence of cultural identities under colonialism.

Our key observation is that this setting is amenable to the belief-based approach familiar from models of persuasion with commitment. Using this approach\, we examine the possibility of valuable communication\, assess the value of commitment\, and explicitly solve for sender-optimal equilibria in a large class of examples. A key product is a geometric characterization of the value of cheap talk\, described by the quasiconcave envelope of the sender's indirect utility.

In order to understand this evolution\, a key parameter of the mantle must be known\, namely its buoyancy. In this talk\, I will discuss how Earth’s body tide can provide fresh and independent constraints on deep mantle buoyancy through a newly developed technique called Tidal Tomography. This comes at a time when other interesting and exciting data sets sensitive to deep mantle buoyancy\, e.g.\, Stoneley modes\, have been brought to bear\, and we will explore our conclusions in the context of other recent finds.\n\nIn particular\, we will focus on two regions of the deep mantle known as the Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs)\, the buoyancy of which has attracted much debate over the past few decades. Using a global GPS data set of high precision measurements of the Earth’s body tide\, we perform a tomographic inversion to constrain the integrated buoyancy of these LLSVPs at the base of the mantle. As a consequence of the long-wavelength and low frequency nature of the Earth’s body tide\, these observations are particularly sensitivity to LLSVP buoyancy. Using a probabilistic approach we find that the data are best fit when the bottom two thirds (~700 km) of the LLSVPs have an integrated excess density of ~0.60%. \nThe detailed distribution of this buoyancy\, for example whether it primarily resides in a thin layer at the base of the mantle\, will require further testing and the augmentation of the inversions to include independent data sets (e.g.\, seismic observations). Nevertheless\, our inference of excess density requires the preservation of chemical heterogeneity associated with the enrichment of high-density chemical components\, possibly linked to subducted oceanic plates and/or primordial material\, in the deep mantle. This conclusion has important implications for the stability of these structures and\, in turn\, the history and ongoing evolution of the Earth system.

For example\, darker skinned African Americans have worse health outcomes\, lower incomes\, less education\, lower rates of marriage\, and even receive harsher criminal sentencing than lighter skinned blacks. Within political science\, the focus on racial groups as largely homogenous entities has overlooked potentially important heterogeneity within groups based on skin color and gender. Drawing evidence from the 2012 American National Election Study\, two online surveys\, and 67 in-depth qualitative interviews\, the following is clear: (1) Skin tone is a salient identity to a sizable portion of black people\, especially those with dark skin\; (2) Darker skin tone is associated with higher levels of support for more liberal policies in domains where darker-skinned people are often marginalized\; and\, (3) The intersection of skin tone and gender relates to stereotypes and perceptions of racialized policies. The goal of this line of research is to explore how skin color and gender inform social and political judgments\, as well as feelings of efficacy and marginalization from the political system. This work not only offers important implications for scholars and policymakers alike\, but also has implications extending across racial groups.

The department she led set in motion more than 60 plazas across the city\, including the historic plazas that shut Broadway through Times Square\, sparking economic recovery throughout the area. She worked with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to launch the city’s first six rapid bus lines and oversaw hundreds of intersection and street redesigns that contributed to the city’s record-low traffic fatalities. Sadik-Khan oversaw the 2013 launch of Citi Bike\, the nation’s largest bike share system\, which to date has been used more than 22 million times and is doubling in size to 12\,000 bikes.\n\n​She currently advises mayors of cities around the world as a principal at Bloomberg Associates\, a philanthropic consultancy established by Michael Bloomberg to help cities around the world improve the quality of life of their citizens. She assists mayors and their teams in developing street redesigns in cities from Los Angeles to Mexico City to Rio and Athens. \n\n​As chair of the National Association of Transportation Officials (NACTO)\, an organization of transportation commissioners and directors in 38 cities\, she led the development and publication of NACTO’s Global and Urban Street Design Guides and the Urban Bikeway Design Guide. The new standards in these documents have been recognized by USDOT and adopted by 40 cities worldwide.\n\n​Sadik-Khan was a Senior Vice President of Parsons Brinckerhoff\, a leading international engineering firm. Previously\, she worked in Washington\, D.C.\, as a Deputy Administrator at the US Department of Transportation. She holds a B.A. in Political Science from Occidental College\, and a J.D. from Columbia University School of Law.

Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: An Evening With Gerald Vizenor DESCRIPTION:Native American Studies at the University of Michigan presents the 2018 Robert F. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: An Evening With Gerald Vizenor\n\nBETRAYAL AND IRONY: Native American Survivance and the Subversion of Ethnology\n\nGerald Vizenor is Professor Emeritus of American Studies at the University of California\, Berkeley. He is a citizen of the White Earth Nation in Minnesota\, and has published more than thirty books including novels\, literary criticism\, cultural studies\, and poetry. Blue Ravens\, an historical novel\, and Treaty Shirts are his most recent publications. Vizenor has received many awards including the American Book Award for Griever: An American Monkey King in China\, the Western Literature Association Distinguished Achievement Award\, and the Lifetime Literary Achievement Award from the Native Writer’s Circle of the Americas. Prior to his long career as an intellectual and academic\, he enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces\, during which he was stationed in Japan\; directed the American Indian Employment and Guidance Center in Minneapolis\; and served as a journalist for the Minneapolis Tribune\, where he reported critically about the activities of the American Indian Movement.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. There will be a catered reception to follow the lecture. Literati bookstore will be selling Vizenor's books starting at 6PM and again after the lecture.\n\nThe Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle\, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners\, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent\, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students\, Ann Arbor and Detroit\, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off\, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally\, because of the statewide publicity it generates\, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.

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.

Yet public trust in journalism has hit historic lows in recent years and journalists have recently been openly maligned for their work. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of journalists in a free society. Why is the concept of a free press written into the First Amendment? How are the rights of journalists threatened? Is this a unique moment in history? How have new modes of reporting\, such as social media and citizen journalism\, made the press more vulnerable? And\, finally\, what are the broader societal implications of a restricted and diminished press?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems\, events\, and phenomena most important to society.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation.

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

It also aims to engage a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering.\n\nIntended as \"teaching through practice\" event\, each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience)\, highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills\, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.\n\nStarting mid-February and leading up to June\, we will be organizing multiple sessions for this event\, and we invite you to participate. The sessions will be held on Saturday mornings (9am - 11am)\, and will be scheduled to occur once every 2-3 weeks. Breakfast and coffee will be provided!\n\nIf you are interested in participating as a speaker\, please indicate your availability on the \"Speaker sign up\" form and the planning committee will follow up with you for scheduling.

Across the University of Michigan campus\, experts have presented on the technologies\, regulatory issues\, and business opportunities surrounding Autonomous Vehicles (AV). Missing though\, are the critical perspectives and values of the community. This spring\, a group of students from the University of Michigan are organizing an opportunity for community members to learn about and voice their opinions on what is destined to be a society-altering technology. This type of event\, called a consensus conference\, enables the public to contribute to the discussion around technologies that impact their lives.

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

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

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

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

In this brief period\, Karpo Godina stood up as an exceptional director of photography\, collaborating with Želimir Žilnik (whose Early Works Godina shot and edited) and Dušan Makavejev on their first features. At the same time\, he explored the possibilities and limitations of cinema in his own films. The still\, almost rigid camera\, each frame a perfectly composed photograph that suddenly comes alive\; the beauty of editing\; and the use of music—each element creates an unabashed sense of overpowering joy. A hidden\, titillating joy one feels when discovering any truly beautiful\, exceptionally simple and profoundly deep work of art—and an irresistible urge to laugh a liberating laugh. These films\, subversive and optimistic\, slightly ironic and never cynical\, celebrate life in socialist Yugoslavia while mocking the ideological rigidity of the ruling party. Shot all across Yugoslavia\, they represent the best of Yugoslav cinema of the time.\n\nThis screening is part of the Ann Arbor Film Festival.
