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.

Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

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 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 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.

However\, research has widely documented the challenges students from backgrounds underrepresented in STEM have with establishing and maintaining relationships that are supportive academically and personally. This talk will highlight research on student-faculty interaction in STEM graduate programs\, detailing how faculty can be both barriers and sources of support in the academy. We will also discuss potential strategies to incentivize and support faculty engagement in mentorship.\n\nKimberly A. Griffin is an associate professor at the University of Maryland and the editor of the Journal of Diversity in Higher Education. Prior to becoming a faculty member\, she served as a higher education administrator and student affairs professional\, working in undergraduate and graduate admissions\, promoting diverse and hospitable learning environments\, and new student orientation. Professor Griffin is a recognized scholar in the area of higher education access and equity research. Throughout her career\, she has contributed to multiple projects that examine the diverse experiences of Black students and faculty\, the impact of campus climate\, and how mentoring relationships influence student and faculty success. Much of her current work focuses on exploring efforts to increase diversity in the professoriate.\n\nRSVP: myumi.ch/JdP3B\n\n***\n\nThe National Center for Institutional Diversity Research and Scholarship Seminar Series features scholars who have furthered our understanding of historical and contemporary social issues related to identity\, difference\, culture\, representation\, power\, oppression\, and inequality — as they occur and affect individuals\, groups\, communities\, and institutions.

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.

His portrayal in film provides an actor with a considerable challenge in conveying the character. Few have been ambitious enough to try. \n\nWe’ll watch 4 actors portray this character in films based on 3 of Christie’s novels\, including a rarely seen adaptation from Japan. George Ferrell is a retired instructor\, and Christie and detective mystery fiction fan\, who has been researching the history of Christie on film. Last fall he led the study group on Miss Marple films.\n\nThis study group for those 50 and over will be held on Mondays from April 2 to April 30.

How to Become Good Neighbors: Educational and Cultural Relations Between the University of Michigan and Brazil (1938-1945) DESCRIPTION:In December 1938\, during the Eighth International Conference of American States held in Lima\, the University of Michigan announced the Brazilian Fellowship Program\, combining funds from the university and from the Brazilian government. This came at a critical moment for Inter-American relations and the Good Neighbor Policy as the United States intensified its efforts to secure the cooperation of Latin American countries\, given the rising war clouds in Asia and Europe. It was also a moment of strong disputes among Brazilian politicians within between those who supported Germany and those who supported the US. The Brazilian Fellowship Program was launched in 1939\, and the University of Michigan claimed to be the first American university to establish exchange fellowships for graduate studies with Latin American countries. This presentation will discuss the intricate process of building this particular program of cultural and educational exchanges. At a moment when the US cultural diplomacy towards the “other American republics” was taking its first steps\, this initiative mobilized various institutions\, interests\, and dynamics in the US and in Brazil. In examining the local practices of this particular experience of inter-American cultural relations\, I will reflect on the negotiations\, obstacles\, tensions\, and contingencies that characterized the transnational circulation of people and ideas in a time when Latin America was a laboratory for US cultural diplomacy. \n \nSimone P. Kropf holds a PhD in History from the Universidade Federal Fluminense\, in Brazil\, and is a professor at the Graduate Program of the History of Sciences and Health at Oswaldo Cruz Foundation\, in Rio de Janeiro. She is currently a visiting scholar at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS). She has written about the history of biomedical sciences in Brazil in 20th century (particularly regarding tropical medicine and Chagas disease)\, the history of cardiology\, and the history of scientific and cultural relations between the United States and Brazil.

The Standard Model (SM) prediction for the mode is 2.4 x 10-11 with a small theoretical uncertainty. An experimental upper limit of 2.6 x 10-8 was set by the KEK E391a collaboration. The rare “golden” decay is ideal for probing for physics beyond the standard model. A comparison of experimentally obtained results with SM calculations permits a test of the quark flavor region and provides a means to search for new physics.\n\nThe signature of the decay is a pair of photons from the π0 decay and no other detected particles. For the measurement of the energies and positions of the photons\, KOTO uses a Cesium Iodide (CSI) electromagnetic calorimeter as the main detector\, and hermetic veto counters to guarantee that there are no other detected particles. KOTO’s initial data was collected in 2013 and achieved a similar sensitivity as E391a result. Since then\, we completed significant hardware upgrades and had additional physics runs in 2015 at beam powers of roughly 24--40 kW. This presentation will recap the efforts of KOTO and its sustained pursuit of detecting KL → πνν.

DESCRIPTION:In the past 15 years\, we have discovered that even young children are adept at inferring causal relationship. But can children also infer more abstract causal “overhypotheses”? Are there differences in the ways that younger children\, older children and adults learn? And do socioeconomic status and culture make a difference? I will present several studies showing a surprising pattern. Preschoolers can learn abstract higher-order principles from data\, including logical relations\, and 18-30 month-olds can learn relations of “same” and “different”. In addition\, younger learners are actually sometimes better at inferring unusual or unlikely principles than older learners and adults. This pattern also holds for children in Peru and in Headstart programs in Oakland\, California. I relate this pattern to computational ideas about search and sampling\, to evolutionary ideas about human life history\, and to neuroscience findings about the negative effects of frontal control on wide exploration. My hypothesis is that our distinctively long\, protected human childhood allows an early period of broad hypothesis search\, exploration and creativity\, before the demands of goal-directed action set in.

Shape-shifting and experimental\, specialising in the gaps and tensions between things\; civics\, politics and humanities in continuous conversation.\n\nSo what happened when a journalist / visual artist / documentary filmmaker is given free rein to convene a highly multidisciplinary team - artists\, filmmakers\, designers\, writers\, activists\, historians and architects working hand in hand with political scientists\, urban geographers\, anthropologists\, mathematicians\, internationalists\, urban planners\, civic tech and AI experts - all bound together by their passion for a certain megalopolis? Experiencing the perils and possibilities of urban experiments and collaborative practices in a divided and gargantuan territory\; tackling subjects such as governance\, mobility\, the right to the city and participatory infrastructures\, reimagining social and urban realities from within.\n\nGabriella Gómez-Mont is the founder of Laboratorio para la Ciudad\, the experimental arm / creative think tank of the Mexico City government\, reporting to the Mayor. The Lab is a place to reflect about all things city and to explore other social scripts and urban futures for the largest megalopolis in the western hemisphere\, working across diverse areas\, such as urban creativity\, mobility\, governance\, civic tech\, public space\, etc. In addition\, the Lab searches to create links between civil society and government\, constantly shifting shape to accommodate multidisciplinary collaborations\, insisting on the importance of political and public imagination in the execution of its experiments. \n\nBesides her fascination with all things city\, Gabriella is also a journalist\, visual artist\, a director of documentary films\, as well as a creative advisor to several cities\, universities and companies. She has been awarded several international recognitions for her work in different fields\, such as the first prize in both the Audi Urban Future Award and the Best Art Practice Award given by the Italian government\, as well as the TED City 2.0 Prize\, among others. In addition to being a Yale World Fellow\, she is also a TED speaker\, TED Senior Fellow\, an MIT Director´s Fellow\, an Institute for the Future Fellow\, a World Cities Summit Young Leader and part of the international advisory committee for the Mayor of Seoul on Social Innovation. She was recently named one of the 100 most creative people by Fast Company magazine.

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.

Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

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.

This all day symposium will bring together lawmakers\, artists\, scholars\, justice advocates and formerly-incarcerated people to imagine how the arts can contribute to reforming the criminal justice system. This event is part of a series of six public policy forums happening in 2018 in Michigan\, Texas\, Alabama\, Georgia\, New York and California. Reception to follow at 5:30 PM in the Duderstadt Center Gallery.\n\n“Prison does not define who we are as people\, but instead reflects poor decisions we have made. I would ask that those who judge us to perhaps look past the blue and orange state clothes we wear\, and to try to practice empathy. Please try to understand us. Please try to look past our imperfections and most importantly\, try to forgive us. I believe that many inmates struggle with\, yet desperately desire to express who they truly are\, and the reasons are numerous. Creating art is one avenue I personally use to express myself. All of my paintings reflect either my sadness\, my happiness\, my dreams\, my desires\, my passions\, or I just find them beautiful. Whatever painting of mine you may be looking at right now\, please know that while you are certainly seeing a part of me\, there is far more to understand and discover about me beyond the blue and orange I wear.\" G.

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.

For transnational households – where one spouse temporarily migrates for work – this information asymmetry is further exacerbated\, and can reduce the development impact of such migration. However the role of household communication and information sharing to create and/or address this information asymmetry is unclear. I plan to conduct an RCT to study the effect of making information observable on migrant-household information sharing and the household’s decision making. I will analyze whether spouses strategically misreport information to each other\, which margins are most misreported (income\, expenditure\, savings\, debt etc.) and does the opportunity to share information reduce asymmetry and affect the household’s subsequent decisions.\n\nTeju Velayudhan\n\nTitle: Do Value Added Taxes Thresholds Reduce Real Output?\n\nAbstract: Most countries have a value added tax (VAT) and most VAT systems feature a revenue based exemption threshold\, making the VAT notch a widespread and important element of tax systems. How do these VAT notches affect production efficiency\, and therefore the production efficiency of real VAT systems? This is a particularly relevant question in the context of emerging economies where the VAT exemption threshold is relatively high in the revenue distribution of firms. Recent papers estimate large responses of reported production to tax in developing countries in response to tax incentives and attribute the response to evasion. Unlike these papers which use administrative data from tax returns\, I use survey data where what firms report has no direct impact on their tax liability. Even in this survey data\, I find that firms reduce their survey-reported output between 6 to 20 percent to remain below the VAT exemption threshold. Because the survey-reported output may also be the outcome of misreporting instead of real production changes\, I devise a method to identify real changes using information on their tax-exempt inputs\, which they never report to the tax authority. I assemble a novel dataset by linking the five-digit product information from these establishments to the applicable tariff codes\, which allows me to measure how the tax liability for the firm changes over time.

When scholars study these islands\, they mostly do so from the perspective of the Mao-Chiang conflict or global geopolitics. These islands are thus considered as the products of the Communist-Nationalist rivalry or confrontations of the Cold War. This talk\, instead\, aims to analyze this history from the perspective of the island society and culture\, in particular\, the islanders' gender relations and gambling habits. Dr. Lin will start with the period before the army arrived\, discuss the population's experience of militarization during 1949-92\, and indicate how gender and gambling culture can shed new light on our understanding of this history. \n\nWei-ping Lin received her PhD in Anthropology from Cambridge University. She joined the National Taiwan University in 1999\, where she is a professor. She is affiliated with the Harvard-Yenching Institute during 2017-18. Her research concerns Chinese popular religion\, including topics related to material culture\, spirit mediums\, and urban religious transformation. She is the author of \"Materializing Magic Power: Chinese Popular Religion in Villages and Cities\" (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2015). During the year at Harvard\, she will be writing a book manuscript about the role of imagination in the military outposts between China and Taiwan.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nDuring Mexico’s transition to democracy\, at the end of 1994\, a Judicial Council was created with the explicit aim of establishing a merit-based system for the selection and promotion of judges at all levels of the federal judiciary. However\, a series of indicators including nepotistic practices and ad hoc examinations show a divergence between the formal merit-based judicial career and the actual practice of appointments and promotions\, which is biased in favor individuals with connections to sitting judges and persons already working in the federal judiciary. Why? What is the source of the divergence between the formally merit-based career and the actually biased hiring practices? This paper argues that patronage networks formed during the authoritarian period\, when the Supreme Court hand-picked lower court judges\, have persisted under the democratic regime eroding the meritocratic selection system. Based on archival data\, and on a unique dataset on nepotism within the judiciary\, the paper uncovers the patronage networks\, and aims at showing their persistence and effects on the performance of the Judicial Council set to select judges on merit since 1995. Leveraging a relational perspective\, the paper offers a mechanism of transmission and reproduction of enduring authoritarian practices despite democratic efforts to uproot them.

ANM is also associated with epigenetic age and may be a useful phenotype to unravel mechanistic insights into aging. Within the ReproGen consortium\, we conducted genetic association studies and identified genetic loci for ANM including a common variant in BRCA1\, variants in/near genes associated with delayed puberty\, and enrichment in genes in the DNA damage response pathway. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) followed by Mendelian randomization analyses to assess causal influences on later life outcomes will further our understanding of how reproductive traits impact the overall health of women.\nAbout Dr. Murabito: Dr. Murabito is Director of the Clinic at the Framingham Heart Study and she is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. Her research interests include the epidemiology and genetics of longevity\, healthy aging\, reproductive aging and peripheral artery disease.

Muslim Ethical Thought and its Circulation in Colonial India DESCRIPTION:“Compendium as Archive?” considers two compendiums of Muslim ethical thought produced in colonial India: Makhzan-i-Hikmet (A Treasury of Wisdom) by Mufti Ghulam Sarwar\, and Makhzan-i-Akhlaq (A Treasury of Ethics)\, by Rahmatullah Subhani. Published in 1871 and 1932\, respectively\, both compile the sayings of an eclectic group of eminent men\, and/or kernels of their wisdom. Those included are Muslim and non-Muslim\, and date from classical antiquity to contemporary times. This talk considers both texts in their religious and historical context\, asking whether we can read them as archives of popular religious sentiment? While taking up the religious and cultural history of late colonial India\, the talk will also address the broader methodological concern of how print culture can serve as historical archive\, giving particular attention to the compendium as a genre.

In this talk\, I will discuss our recent studies on two seemingly unrelated 2D materials: non-centrosymmetric superconducting NbSe_2 and magnetic CrI_3. As a result of the crystal symmetry and spin-orbit interactions\, the electron spins in both of these materials become Ising-like (i.e. spins locked to the out-of-plane direction)\, giving rise to unique magnetic properties. First I will discuss how the Ising spins in 2D NbSe_2 protect superconductivity under very high magnetic fields and experimental signatures of spin-triplet pairing correlations through tunneling measurements. I will then discuss our recent efforts in studying 2D magnetism in CrI_3 by electric fields. If time allows\, I will briefly discuss interesting future directions by combining these two materials to form heterostructures. \n UID:42208-9584896@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42208 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171122T141935 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180403T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Cross Campus Transfer to LSA Information Sessions DESCRIPTION:Are you thinking about transferring to LSA from another University of Michigan school or college? Before meeting with an advisor to complete the transfer application and to discuss your individual situation\, you will need to attend a group session to learn about the transfer process\, LSA requirements\, and LSA advising.

Here\, we report spontaneous lipid corona formation\, i.e. without active mixing\, upon attachment to stationary lipid bilayer model membranes and bacterial cell envelopes\, and present ribosome-specific outcomes for multi-cellular organisms. Experiments show that polycation-wrapped particles disrupt the tails of zwitterionic lipids\, increase bilayer fluidity\, and leave the membrane with reduced ζ-potentials. Computer simulations show contact ion pairing between the lipid headgroups and the polycations’ ammonium groups leads to the formation of stable\, albeit fragmented\, lipid bilayer coronas\, while microscopy shows fragmented bilayers around nanoparticles after interacting with Shewanella oneidensis. Our mechanistic insight can be used to improve control over nano-bio interactions and to help understand why some nanomaterial/ligand combinations are detrimental to organisms\, like Daphnia magna\, while others are not. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nFranz Geiger (Northwestern University) UID:44504-9923098@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44504 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180326T101734 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180403T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Teaching of Heritage Languages: Theoretical and Pedagogical Issues DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a teaching talk with Professor Alejandro Cuza of Purdue University.

The main concern is to design a management delegation contract between a Principal and an Agent which sets the basis of a satisfactory collaboration so as to put the best incentive for the Agent to fulfill the objective of the Principal. The problem is naturally formulated as a (Stackelberg) differential game. A general solution approach is provided by using recent representation results from backward stochastic differential equations.\n\nReception for the Speaker will follow at 5:00 PM in the Upper Atrium in East Hall on April 3\, 2018\n\nSponsored by the Van Eenam Lectures Series UID:50371-11724562@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50371 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate,Graduate School,Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180326T102551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180403T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180403T173000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian Conversation Group DESCRIPTION:Join us for all-level of BCS language speakers!

She holds a BA from Northeastern University and a Master of Architecture from California Polytechnic Pomona where she is currently Adjunct Faculty at the Department of Architecture. She is the recipient of the Chapman Technology Award\, the Dangermond Scholarship and the Richard Neutra Award for Best Graduate Thesis for her project 'Catalog Tectonics’. Through research and exhibitions her work examines the disciplinary periphery of architecture and attempts to extract covert systems of authorship. Laida’s work has been exhibited in Los Angeles\, San Sebastian\, New York\, Berlin\, Oslo and Stockholm. She is co-founder of the design studio Cartouche with Ariana Rubcic.\n\nWalter B. Sanders Fellow - Steven Lauritano\nSteven Lauritano is a theorist and historian of architecture and the visual arts. He earned his doctorate from Yale University in December 2016 and is currently completing a book project on Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s conception of history\, based on the Prussian designer’s experimental work with antique remains. Lauritano holds an MArch from Princeton University and has spent time in the office of Reiser + Umemoto. He is a former fellow of the Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies at the Freie Universität and a recipient of the Carter Manny Award for Research\, granted by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. His writings have appeared in Perspecta\, Pidgin Magazine\, Circo and 306090 Books.\n\nWillard A. Oberdick Fellow - Brittany Utting\nBrittany Utting holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University where she received the Sonia Albert Schimberg Prize as outstanding graduating woman and was awarded teaching fellowships under Peter Eisenman and Emmanuel Petit. She received a Bachelor of Science from Georgia Institute of Technology\, graduating as Presidential Scholar and a founding member of the Shape Computation Laboratory\, receiving the Presidential Undergraduate Research Award for her work on informal housing typologies. Currently\, Brittany is practicing at Thomas Phifer and Partners and is a project designer on the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw\, Poland. Previously\, Brittany worked at Log\, Journal for Architecture and on the forthcoming book Alberti Analogous. Brittany's ongoing research considers the evolving image of the home\, its competing mythologies and ideologies\, as an index of a society’s habits of living and production as well as a measure of a culture’s collective desires.

Professor Berrey will be taking a look at how Americans interacted with blackface throughout recent history\, going back to playbills in minstrel shows popular in the 19th century to more modern representations in mass media. The talk will definitely be an informative and engaging one for those wishing to understand how this depiction has continued to harm and denigrate black Americans\, and why this practice is still being invoked today.

Workers and young people around the world are using the Internet to coordinate struggles and share information outside of the control of the corporate media.\n\nThe World Socialist Web Site\, which has been a principal target of the censorship campaign\, is leading a fight against the greatest attack on free speech since the Second World War. In January\, it called for an International Coalition of Socialist\, Antiwar and Progressive Websites Against Internet Censorship to expose what is taking place and coordinate opposition.\n\nThis meeting will explore the political context of efforts to censor the Internet\, examine the pretexts used to justify the suppression of free speech (e.g.\, “fake news”)\, and discuss a political strategy to mobilize the working class in defense of democratic rights.

The band hailed from working-class\, industrial Birmingham\, England\, and it was a time of social\, political and musical upheaval. Into this storm came The Beat\, trying to calm the waters with their simple message of love and unity set to a great dance beat. The band was all about inclusion\, crossing over fluidly among soul\, reggae\, pop\, and punk\, and from these disparate pieces they created an infectious dance rhythm. One of the most popular and influential bands of the British Two Tone Ska movement\, The English Beat toured the world with David Bowie\, The Clash\, The Police\, The Pretenders\, R.E.M.\, and Talking Heads. Members of the band went on to form other groups\, including General Public\, International Beat\, and Fine Young Cannibals\, but frontman Dave Wakeling has kept The English Beat alive and well.

Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

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

The gallery will present interactive and interventionist work by Stephanie Brown (Stamps MFA ‘18) and Jessica Frelinghuysen (Stamps Adjunct Professor). The Stamps Gallery booth will be located in the Art & Music tent. \n\nSpringFest is a SXSW-style gathering designed to promote innovation\, creativity\, and community while displaying the achievements of University students and organizations.\n\nThe Diag is on the U-M Ann Arbor central campus north of South University Street\, east of State Street\, and south of North University.\n\nThis event is being presented in partnership with MUSIC MATTERS and is part of a new series of ongoing gallery events titled Stamps Gallery OFFSITE. \n\nStephanie Brown: Return the Melanin\n\nDo you ever question the use of skin color in history books\, movies\, video games\, and TV? What if someone or something told you they were darker than you are used to seeing would you believe\, accept\, or reject the thought? \n\nReturn the Melanin works with artists of color to provide re-imagined perspectives of important figures in history. Theses depictions are available by request and free of charge in the form of sticker and poster products. Take one share one and repeat! Post your RTM product discoveries on Instagram using #returnthemelanin\n\nLaunder is a body of work that critiques skin color discrimination and encourages positive associations with brown skin care by subverting common laundry care symbols. The do not bleach symbol is screen-printed onto black T-shirts with a bleaching agent\, when worn by people of color the message can be fully embodied and become an announcement of skin color affirmation. \n\nAbout the Artist: \n\nStephanie Brown is of Jamaican descendant\, born and raised in sunny south Florida. She holds a BFA in photography from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and is currently completing her MFA degree in interdisciplinary arts and Museum Studies Certificate at the University of Michigan.  Embracing moments of discomfort\, her creative practice encourages critical consideration of self-perceptions based on skin color\, confronting the complexity of colorism and its influence worldwide. In her recent exhibition at the Stamps Gallery\, Am I Enough\, her work challenges the psychological decisions we make as we construct our identities by pulling from dominant media\, the judgement of our communities\, and self-affirming family values or lack thereof. \n\nJessica Frelinghuysen: Listening Indicators (for Stamps Gallery)\n\nListening Indicators is a wearable print\, when folded and worn\, indicates that the user is listening\, even though they would rather not. The form reflects the gesture of cupping one’s hand around the ear to amplify sound. Good for relationships\, bartenders\, students\, or anybody who wants to give someone their full attention. The piece is designed to engage the public in discussions about relatable problems of how communication\, ubiquitous device usage\, and manners affect the atmosphere of public spaces today.  We invite anyone to try them on and use them. It’s exciting to get a crowd wearing these and interacting with one another.\n\nAbout the Artist: \n\nJessica Frelinghuysen sculpts objects and events to help negotiate social anxieties and continually seeks to reconcile the separation between the individual and society. Her work has been shown at the International Print Center\, The Mattress Factory Museum of Contemporary Art\, and recently at The Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. Jessica has been awarded residencies at the Headlands Center for the Arts in California\, Sculpture Space in New York and the Santa Fe Art Institute and is the recipient of a 2016 Joan Mitchell Foundation Emerging Artist Grant. She lives in Hamtramck\, Michigan\, a small city nestled within the bosom of Detroit\, and holds a teaching position at the University of Michigan. \n\n  UID:51458-12112480@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51458 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171106T140510 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180404T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180404T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

By prescribing a physically sensible set of boundary conditions at the horizon\, we derive the algebra of asymptotic Killing vectors\, which is shown to be infinite-dimensional\; it includes two sets of supertranslations and two mutually commuting copies of the Virasoro algebra. We define the surface charges associated to these large diffeomorphisms and evaluate them for different stationary black hole solutions. We finally discuss the relationship between these horizon charges and the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) ones by computing the memory effect produced at the black hole horizon by a gravitational shock wave sent from null infinity.

Plasma in these conditions is capable of producing a diverse range of highly reactive species with low energy input without chemical additives\, which makes PWT a promising treatment technology. PWT has not yet proven to be viable\, largely due to a lack of knowledge for designing effective plasma reactors and targeting appropriate applications. We have developed a bench-scale PWT process to treat perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in groundwater with high enough efficiency to rival leading technologies. A scaled-up continuous-flow prototype demonstrated PFASs degradation rates far exceeding those of the bench system. A more practical solution for PWT of high flowrates of PFAS-containing water is to combine it with an ion exchange (IX) system wherein the plasma treats the IX regeneration brine\, a complex chemical mixture of PFASs\, methanol\, and sodium chloride. In this talk development of PWT systems will be discussed\, correlating bulk liquid transport with the plasma-liquid interface dynamics using analytical measurements and fluid dynamics modeling.\n\nThagard received her BS in chemical engineering from the U. of Zagreb in Croatia and her Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Florida State U.

I will argue that the theoretical methodology has reached the point where we can say with confidence that the two dimensional Hubbard model captures key aspects of the high transition temperature superconductivity observed in layered copper-oxide compounds and can delineate which phenomena are not accounted for by this model. I will further summarize the current status of our extension of the methods to fully physically realistic systems\, emphasizing the areas of theoretical uncertainty and the prospects for resolution. \n\n UID:51267-12032763@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51267 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180313T102245 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180404T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180404T173000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Faculty Meeting DESCRIPTION:amyarger@umich.edu UID:50996-11939129@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50996 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English Language And Literature LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3222 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180403T122331 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180404T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180404T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Methods (ISQM): Clustering Analysis Through Integrating Diverse\, High Dimensional and Noisy Data Sets DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\n\nSample clustering has been studied in statistics for many decades and recent advances in collecting diverse\, high dimensional\, and noisy data present new challenges for clustering analysis. For example\, high-throughput genomic technologies coupled with large-scale studies including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project have generated rich resources of diverse types of omics data from thousands of patients to better understand disease etiology and treatment responses. Clustering patients into subtypes with similar disease etiologies and/or treatment responses using multiple omics data has the potential to improve the precision of clustering than using a single type of omics data. In another setting\, single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology can generate genome-wide expression data at the single-cell levels from hundreds to thousands of cells. One important objective in scRNA-seq analysis is to cluster cells where each cluster consists of cells belonging to the same cell type based on gene expression patterns. In this presentation\, we will discuss our recently developed methods for analyzing multi-omics cancer and single cell RNA data sets. The improved performance of these methods will be demonstrated on various simulated as well as real TCGA and scRNA-seq data sets. This is joint work with Seyoug Park and Hao Xu.

About the book:\n\nIn 1965 the drive for black voting rights in the south culminated in the epic Selma to Montgomery Freedom March. After brutal state police beatings stunned the nation on \"Bloody Sunday\,\" troops under federal court order lined the route as the march finally made its way to the State Capitol and a triumphant address by Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. But within hours klan terror struck\, claiming the life of one of the marchers\, Viola Liuzzo\, a Detroit mother of five. Turner offers an insider’s view of the three trials that took place over the following nine months—which finally resulted in the conviction of the killers. Despite eyewitness testimony by an FBI informant who was riding in the car with the killers\, two all-white state juries refused to convict. It took a team of Civil Rights Division lawyers\, led by the legendary John Doar\, to produce the landmark jury verdict that klansmen were no longer above the law.

Most software to solve these problems is based on inexact floating-point computation\, which sometimes leads to erroneous results. Although it is possible to compute exact solutions by using exact precision arithmetic in all steps of the algorithms\, this slows computation time considerably. Modern techniques for computing exact solutions employ a combination of numerical methods\, interval arithmetic\, and exact computation in novel ways to increase speed while still guaranteeing correct results. This talk will survey some of these methods and further describe how their computed results can be independently validated. In particular\, how solvers can be adapted to output a proof of their conclusions using a limited number of simple inference rules which can be verified by a separate program that is much simpler than the optimization solver. This talk is based on joint work with Kevin K.H. Cheung and Ambros Gleixner.\n \nBio: Dan Steffy is an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Oakland University. He earned his PhD in Algorithms\, Combinatorics and Optimization from Georgia Tech in 2010\, and has spent time as a research staff member at the Zuse Institute Berlin.

Lessons on How Food Builds Community One Plate at a Time DESCRIPTION:We are living through a revolution where food has become the medium for a generation that includes chefs as political actors\, farmers as standard bearers of environmental sustainability\, and businesses who have embraced the notion investment in the entire supply chain is good for the bottom line. Food has become a means for young social entrepreneurs to use their business expertise to promote social good with new apps and new inventions. But with all this excitement can food build world peace? In an age when refugees are seeking new lives\, can learning to cook build back hope and respect? Through the lens of food\, we can explore how this basic component of our survival is also a powerful tool to help create dialogue and encourage conversation in these turbulent times. \n\nJohanna Mendelson Forman has built a reputation for addressing longstanding issues with new perspectives and innovative ideas. She has become one of the leading voices in the emerging movement of Social Gastronomy. Her frontline experience as a policy maker on conflict and stabilization efforts drove her interest in connecting the role of food in conflict\, resulting in the creation of Conflict Cuisine®: An Introduction to War and Peace Around the Dinner Table\, an interdisciplinary course she teaches at the School of International Service at American University in Washington\, DC\, where she is an Adjunct Professor. Mendelson Forman is also a Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center\, where she heads the Food Security Program. \n\nMendelson Forman has written extensively about food and conflict and Latin America and has lectured on food-related topics at the Smithsonian Resident Associates Program\, Johns Hopkins University Bologna Campus\, New York University’s Washington Program and at the United States Pavilion of the 2015 World Expo in Milan\, Italy.

Hospice palliative care aims at providing all-encompassing services for patients with terminal diseases suffering from physical\, mental\, social and spiritual symptoms and pain. Since clinical Buddhist chaplaincy training has been practiced for more than 15 years in Taiwan\, there are two topics I would like to discuss in this talk: (1) the comparison between spiritual care and mindfulness-based care: body\, mind\, and spirit as compared with body\, feeling\, mind\, and Dharma\; and (2) the relationship between the Fourfold Mindful Establishment and the triune brain model (i.e.\, the innermost reptilian brain\, the old mammalian brain\, and the neocortex). Finally\, I will show two videos. One is a case-study demonstrating Buddhist chaplaincy training in hospice & palliative care in Taiwan. It illustrates methods for helping terminal stage patients during the Buddhist chaplaincy training. The other video documents natural burial in the Memorial Garden of Dharma Drum Mountain.

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 social and environmental psychologist\, she studies how social goals \ninfluence climate change mitigation. Professor Raimi is particularly interested in how people compare themselves to others\, how message framing shapes attitudes toward climate policy\, and how adopting one sustainable behavior affects subsequent decisions. She completed her Ph.D. in Social Psychology at Duke University and a Postdoc at the Vanderbilt University Institute for Energy and Environment.\n\nDespite the growing scientific consensus about human-caused climate change\, climate beliefs in the U.S. are sharply divided along political lines. One explanation for this polarization is motivated reasoning: People seeking out information with the goal to maintain their existing beliefs. This talk explores how people use motivated reasoning to reject evidence that challenges their worldviews\, their social goals\, or their belief in their own superiority\, and discusses ways to discuss climate change that better account for these biases. \n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Behavioral and Social Sciences: Real World Applications. The next lecture will be April 12\, 2018. The title is Understanding Charitable Giving Decisions: New Evidence and Recommendations.

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.

Evoking the ground zeroes of Hiroshima and Nagasaki\; Trinity\, New Mexico\; New York City\; and most recently Fukushima\, dances such as Land\, Offering\, Fragile\, and Eiko’s solo project A Body in Places create complex transnational geographies between Japan and the U.S. and raise questions of mutual implication in the nuclear age. Contrary to the nuclear discourse bound to butoh that fixes the post-nuclear firmly in the past\, Eiko & Koma’s engagement with the nuclear invites audiences to perceive the ongoing repercussions of nuclear disasters. \n \nRosemary Candelario\, Assistant Professor of Dance at Texas Woman’s University\, specializes in the Japanese avant-garde movement form\, butoh. She is the author of Flowers Cracking Concrete: Eiko & Koma's Asian/American Choreographies (Wesleyan University Press 2016) and co-editor of the Routledge Companion to Butoh Performance (forthcoming 2018). She has studied\, taught\, and performed butoh across the United States and around the world.

Understanding which class of counting formulas can account for a large degeneracy will undoubtedly unveil interesting properties of quantum gravity. In this talk I will discuss the application of Siegel modular forms to black hole entropy counting. The role of the Igusa cusp form in the D1D5P system is well-known in string theory\, and its transformation properties are what allow precision microstate counting in this case. We implement this counting for other Siegel modular and paramodular forms\, and we show that they could serve as candidates for other gravitational systems.

The consequent broad access to these drugs has contributed to the opioid epidemic\, and drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under 50. Using data on hundreds of millions of medical claims and 19 million opioid prescriptions in Massachusetts between 2010 and 2015---by then the 7th highest state for death rate by opioid-related overdoses---I will introduce evidence that the diffusion of these medications within families has contributed to the proliferation of opioid consumption. Moreover\, these effects are unlikely to be explained away by shared traits\, environment\, or mate selection. This empirical perspective on the opioid epidemic within families---a ubiquitous social structure---has important implications for policy.

The voltage-gated sodium ion channel is a primary site of action for many of these poisonous substances. No less than six discrete receptor sites for neurotoxins have been identified on the pore-forming alpha-subunit of the channel. This lecture will attempt to illustrate how molecular design and chemical synthesis of toxins and toxin derivatives\, together with the tools of molecular biology and electrophysiology\, can be used to interrogate sodium channel structure and function.\n\nSpeaker:\nJustin Du Bois earned his B.S. in Chemistry from University of California\, Berkeley\, and then earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from California Institute of Technology in the lab of Dr. Erick Carreira. He did his postdoctoral work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the lab of Dr. Stephen J. Lippard. Dr. Du Bois joined the faculty at Stanford in 1999 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2005. His scientific pursuits stem largely from his interest in chemical design\, molecular recognition and physical organic chemistry. His lab has two primary foci\, the first and longest-standing of which is aimed at developing chemical processes and catalyst systems for precision-controlled modification of C–H bonds.\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided.

This talk examines archaeological and archival data from a World War II internment camp in Idaho - the Kooskia Internment Camp - to investigate how Japanese American prisoners were treated by prison officials and the United States government. Prisoners at the Kooskia Internment Camp were to be treated by the standards outlined in the Geneva Prisoners of War Convention of 1929. The Geneva Convention details the basic necessities afforded to prisoners of war and non-citizens\, such as access to leisure activities\, alcohol\, and dental\, ophthalmological care\, and medical facilities. Kooskia's data provide a localized\, on-the-ground account of how the United States government interpreted and responded to the stipulations outlined in the Geneva Convention.

This is a direct extension of our previous work in the context of semi linear parabolic PDEs based on the classical Mc Kean representation for KPP equations. These representations pave the way for a Monte-Carlo approximation of the solution\, thus bypassing the curse of dimensionality. We illustrate the numerical implications in the context of some popular PDEs in physics such as nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation\, a simplified scalar version of the Yang-Mills equation\, a fourth-order nonlinear beam equation and the Gross- Pitaevskii PDE as an example of nonlinear Schr ̈odinger equations.\n\nSponsored by the Van Eenam Lecture Series UID:50374-11724559@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50374 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Business,Graduate School,Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180326T164935 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180405T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180405T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Q&A with Ruth Padel DESCRIPTION:Q&A with writer Ruth Padel!

The lack of simple equations and unprecedented amount of available high-fidelity data are leading to a paradigm shift in how we interact with complex nonlinear systems. Leading approaches stem from data-driven methods which have the potential to discover new mechanisms\, models and control laws and are driven by the tremendous advances in computing power\, new sensors and infrastructures\, and advanced algorithms in machine learning.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss recent advances in data-driven\, equation-free architectures connected to the Perron-Frobenius and Koopman operators leveraging advances in sparsity-promoting techniques and machine learning. Koopman operator theory has emerged as a principled framework to obtain linear embeddings of nonlinear dynamics\, enabling the estimation\, prediction and control of strongly nonlinear systems using standard linear techniques. In addition\, I will discuss work related to statistical modeling in fluids and how to exploit sparsity in dynamical systems for modeling and sensing. The presented work is demonstrated on Hamiltonian systems and different high-dimensional nonlinear systems from fluids.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nEurika Kaiser received her Diploma degree (M.Sc.) in physical engineering from the Technical University Berlin\, Germany\, in 2012\, and the Ph.D. degree from Universite de Poitiers\, France\, in 2015.

Using data from a 20+ year demographic study of two tundra plants across their latitudinal ranges in North America\, I show that different demographic rates change in opposite directions (“demographic compensation”) across latitudes\, which may buffer populations across the range from environmental change. However\, we have also found evidence that compensation may break down suddenly once a warming tipping point has been surpassed. Evidence for local adaptation suggests tipping points may paradoxically be reached sooner at the colder rather than the warmer end of the gradient\, which may lead to counterintuitive range shifts under climate change.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/gyfwX8J6hgE UID:49261-11397844@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Natural Sciences,Research LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180327T072940 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180405T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180405T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Columbus the Muslim DESCRIPTION:Christopher Columbus lived the vast majority of his life in a Mediterranean world in which the Ottoman and Mamluk Empires dominated the eastern part of the sea and were in constant economic\, political\, and confrontational interaction with the Christian states of Europe.

In doing so\, it thinks critically about the role of Islam in the Spanish decision to send him across the ocean and in the early history of the Spanish Caribbean. It furthermore uses this Muslim history of Columbus to suggest ways of analyzing early modern periodization and the place of Islam in the making of the modern world.\n\nAlan Mikhail is professor of history at Yale University. He is a historian of the early modern Muslim world\, the Ottoman Empire\, and Egypt.

The first––that the injurer’s activity must be dangerous––is sensible because strict liability possesses general advantages in controlling risk. But the second––that the activity must be uncommon––is ill-advised because it exempts all common activities from strict liability\, no matter how dangerous. Thus\, the harm generated by the large swath of common dangerous activities––from hunting\, to construction\, to the operation of railroads––tends to be socially excessive. After developing this theme\, the Article addresses the question of how the uncommon activity requirement could have arisen and finds that its legal pedigree is problematic: it was invented by the authors of the first Restatement of Torts. The conclusion is that the uncommon activity requirement for the imposition of strict liability should be eliminated.

Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nAbout the installation:\n\nDetroit-based artist Matthew Angelo Harrison takes a satirical look at historical narratives—exploring issues of race\, design\, mortality and industry—by making use of analog and digital technologies. For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Of special interest are deep learning and reinforcement learning\, and the resurgence of explorations of computational architectures intended to support general intelligence. An aim of the symposium is to clarify and advance the reciprocal flow of theoretical ideas across AI and cognitive science\, broadly understood to include neuroscience and psychology. This includes identifying specific computational problems shared by both artificial and human brains\, and leading ideas for solutions to those problems\; identifying areas of both theoretical convergence and divergence\; rethinking core concepts in cognitive science such as planning\, motivation\, attention\, and abstraction\; and putting into sharp focus fundamental gaps in our present scientific understanding and engineering capacities that might be promising areas for new cross-disciplinary work.\n\nTo register\, please fill out the registration link: https://lsa.umich.edu/weinberginstitute/symposium/registration.html UID:47898-11043658@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47898 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Cognitive Science,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Graduate,Philosophy,Psychology,Science,symposium,Undergraduate LOCATION:Michigan League - Ballroom CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180322T131646 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180406T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180406T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstract Ancestry: Machine-Works on Paper DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based artist Matthew Angelo Harrison takes a satirical look at historical narratives—exploring issues of race\, design\, mortality and industry—by making use of analog and digital technologies. For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Chief among Dewey’s enduring ideas were that thought is the means through which we come to understand and connect with the world around us\, and\, that universal education is the key to teaching people how to abandon their habits and think creatively via learning through doing.\n\nKeynote will be given by Charles Cross\, ASLA\, the Senior Landscape Designer at the Detroit Collaborative Design Center\; as well as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Architecture.

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

Both within and across the borders of Pakistan\, the title of immigrant\, citizen\, and refugee has crafted new notions of identity and community. Further\, the relationship between both the diaspora and Pakistan have shaped the conceptions of one another\, and ultimately Pakistan. The narratives in circulation about “Pakistan in the world” garner security concerns and fears about radicalization and terrorism. This year’s U-M Pakistan Conference challenges this dominant theme by highlighting new and exciting developments in the field of Pakistani migrations. This multidisciplinary conference brings together academics\, activists\, journalists\, and artists from Pakistan\, Europe\, Bangladesh\, and the United States in a discussion of the global and mobile realities of Pakistan and its people\, and the histories and trajectories of Pakistani diasporas to Aboriginal Australia\, the Arabian Gulf\, Europe\, and North America.\n\nThis conference is made possible by generous support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\, with additional support from​​ the Departments of: American Culture\; Anthropology\; History\; History of Art\; Screen Arts and Cultures\; and Women's Studies\; the Islamic Studies Program\; Rackham Graduate School\; Residential College\; Arab and Muslim American Studies\; Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies\; Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies\; the Institute for the Humanities\; and the American Institute of Pakistan Studies.

This meditative activity cultivates inner focus and attention. But the vital practice of hand-tracing religious texts - whether with brush\, pen\, or electronic device - is little known outside Japan. \n\nThis symposium introduces shakyō\, the living tradition of copying Buddhist texts by hand. The two morning lectures will survey the uninterrupted production of shakyō from the 8th century through the 20th century. In the afternoon\, the focus will shift to how shakyō is practiced today in Japan\, including a hands-on opportunity for participants to copy a short Buddhist text themselves.\n\nALL EVENTS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC\nREGISTRATION REQUIRED: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdBowo9isHgBFPAJyCFDFw1VlU2xCYdlT3oj4NcvpTZVB8HuQ/viewform\n\n9:30 \nCoffee and Light Breakfast\n\n10:00 \nCopying Sutras in Premodern Asia: Technical\, Ritual\, and Human Dimensions\nBryan Lowe\, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies\, Religious Traditions of Japan and Korea\, Vanderbilt University \n\n11:30 \nCopying Buddhist Scriptures in Japan\, From the Nineteenth Century Through the Twentieth\nMicah Auerback\, Associate Professor of Japanese Religion\, University of Michigan \n\n12:45 \nLunch\n\n2:00 \nSutra-copying Today: Presentation and Hands-on Session\nDawn Lawson Head\, Asia Library\, University of Michigan \n\n4:00 \nReception\nAsia Library Conference Room\, 4th Floor \nHatcher Graduate Library\, North UID:51330-12055411@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51330 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Japanese Studies,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery Lab - 1st Floor, Hatcher Graduate Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180405T104209 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180406T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180406T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Digital What?

It is open to practitioners\, researchers\, and all who work in a critical relation to the digital. Catered lunch and refreshments will be provided for all attendees.\n\nKeynote talk by Kathleen Fitzpatrick\, MSU\n“Generous Thinking: Working in Public.”\n\nWorking in public\, and with the public\, can enable scholars to build vital\, sustainable research communities\, both within their fields\, with other scholars in different fields\, and with folks off-campus who care about the kinds of work that we do. By finding ways to connect with readers and writers beyond our usual circles of experts\, in a range of different registers\, and in ways that move beyond enabling them to listen to us to instead allow for meaningful response\, we can create the possibilities for far more substantial public participation in and engagement with the humanities\, and with the academy more broadly. We can build programs and networks and platforms that do not just bring the university to the world\, but that also involve the world in the university.\n\nLightening Talks 1 Presenters (in order):\nMeg Bakewell\, CRLT\n Moderator\n\nTiffany Ng\, Professor of Carillon\, School of Music\n “Experiments in the Belfry”\n\nMerideth Garcia\, Joint Program in English and Education\n “Networked Ethics: Negotiating Commitments to Overlapping Virtual and Visible Networks”\n\nCengiz Salman\, Department of American Culture\n “Engineering a Global Network: The Imperial Drive of Facebook's Free Basics”\n\nJohn Cheney-Lippold\, Department of American Culture\n “FIFA: Race\, It's in the Game”\n\nCasidy Campbell\, Department of American Culture\n “Black Girl (Counter)narratives and the Violence of the Digital”\n\n\nLightening Talks 2 Presenters (in order): \nMonika Dressler\, LSA-ISS\n Moderator\n\nAnne Cong-Huyen and Kush Patel\, University of Michigan Libraries\n “Practising Digital Pedagogy Librarianship at U-M: Critical Feminist Engagements”\n\nSimone Sessolo\, Sweetland Center for Writing\n “Discursive Selfies: Discourse in the Age of Instagram”\n\nAdrienne Raw\, Joint Program in English and Education\n “A Platform Studies Approach to Understanding Fandom”\n\nJustin Joque\, University of Michigan Libraries\n “Cyberwar and the Future of Deconstruction”\n\nKatherine Sender\, Department of Communication Studies\n “The demise of the gay market in a digital media landscape” UID:51329-12055410@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51329 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Food,Free,Information and Technology,Interdisciplinary,Lecture,Luncheon,Multicultural,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Helmut Stern Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180220T151650 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180406T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180406T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Handwritten heritage: Arabic texts in manuscript DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features a selection of prominent Arabic writings from the classical and post-classical periods among the holdings of the Islamic Manuscripts Collection preserved in the University Library.\n\nCarefully transcribed copies of classic literary works by al-Mutanabbī (d.965)\, Abū al-ʻAlāʼ al-Maʻarrī (d.1057)\, and al-Ḥarīrī (d.1122) appear alongside influential grammatical\, scientific\, and mystical writings - even a text on musical theory and performance.\n\nThe exhibit is offered in conjunction with the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA) celebration of Arab Heritage Month: https://mesa.umich.edu/article/arab-heritage-month\n\nHours: Mon 8:30am-5pm\, Tues 8:30am-8pm\, Wed-Fri 8:30am-5pm UID:50089-11633657@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50089 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Exhibition,Library,MESA,Multicultural LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - 6th floor (Special Collections) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180318T234259 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180406T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180406T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Lyric Theory Now and Then DESCRIPTION:Please join the Poetry and Poetics Workshop for a conversation with Ardis Butterfield (Professor of English & Professor of Music and French at Yale University\, and the co-founder of the Medieval Song Network)\, Yopie Prins (Irene Butler Collegiate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at U-M) and Gillian White (Associate Professor of English at U-M).

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.

Traditional methods are primarily based on latent variable models\, which could be confounded with dimension reduction and goodness of fit. Furthermore\, these methods are not applicable to modern complex data such as process data obtained from PSTRE (Problem solving in technology-rich environments) items. This talk will first introduce a new method for addressing the first issue\, i.e. sufficient dimension reduction with adequate goodness of fit. It is followed by a second new method for handling process data from PSTRE items. These new developments will be applied to data in educational assessment and psychological evaluation.

The cosmopolitan Islamicate world that informed his journey united vast networks of far-flung trade routes with major urban centers. This panel will examine the important connecting threads of mobility\, place-making\, and periodization that inform analysis of his journey in three contexts. Travelling from premodern maritime trade routes to Mongol building projects\, and utilizing Islamic endowment deeds and polemics against the Qur’an\, this panel will explore the creative tensions of pre- and early modern place-making.\n\nPresentations include:\n\nThe Ocean Blue: Spice Routes\, Islam\, and Globalization Before Columbus (Amanda Respess\, Graduate Student\, Anthropology and History\, University of Michigan)\nThe event of Columbus’s voyage across the Atlantic represented a conjunction of short-term historical developments and long-term environmental and cultural patterns. This presentation will contextualize Columbus's attempt to reach the East by foregrounding the longue durée of premodern Indian Ocean maritime navigation\, turning special attention to the role of Islam in early globalization in the eastern Indian Ocean and South China Sea.\n\nGhazaniyya: A City Built for a Sacred King (Golriz Farshi\, Graduate Student\, Near Eastern Studies\, University of Michigan)\nThe conversion of the Ilkhanid Dynasty (1256-1353 C.E.) to Islam marked a transition in place-making practices and urban development by hitherto itinerant Mongols. The long-standing Islamicate tradition of mausoleum building supplanted the tradition of unmarked graves\, and helped structure a new style of governance.This presentation will reconstruct the endowed model city of Ghazaniyya which centered on the mausoleum of the Ilkhan Ghazan Khan.\n\nThe Mobilization of Manuscripts and Papal Place-Making During the Transition from Medieval to Early Modern Europe (Kate Waggoner Karchner\, Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nThis presentation will broadly trace the transmission of a late thirteenth-century religious disputation of the Qur'an - Riccoldo da Montecroce's Against the Law of the Saracens - throughout early modern Europe\, highlighting its link to moments of heightened awareness of the Ottoman Empire's threat to the traditional bounds of Christendom. The papacy used the polemic against an external threat as a tool to reassert its own position and reaffirm the need for traditional power dynamics in the face of challenges to its sovereignty. \n\nAlan Mikhail (Professor\, History\, Yale University) will comment on the papers. Kathryn Babayan (Associate Professor\; History\, Near Eastern Studies\, University of Michigan) will chair the panel.\n\nFree and open to the public. Lunch provided. \n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

We use a field experiment to test whether community-wide norms against accepting wage cuts distort workers’ labor supply during periods of unemployment. We undertake our test in informal spot markets for casual daily labor in India. We partner with 183 existing employers\, who offer jobs to 502 randomly-selected laborers in their respective local labor markets. The job offers vary: (i) the wage level and (ii) the extent to which the offer is observable to other workers. On average\, 26% of workers accept a job if it is offered at the prevailing wage\, with no distinguishable differences by observability. In contrast\, observability strongly mediates labor supply below the prevailing wage: while 18% accept work at a wage cut in private\, this plummets to 4% when wage cuts are offered in public. The consequences of this behavior are substantial: workers are giving up 38% of average weekly earnings in order to avoid being seen as breaking the community norm. In a supplementary exercise\, we document that workers are willing to pay to punish anonymous laborers who have accepted a wage cut. Costly punishment occurs both for workers in one’s own village\, and for workers in distant other labor markets—suggesting the internalization of norms in moral terms. Our findings support the presumption that collusive norms can develop even in the absence of formal labor institutions and can play a role in constraining labor supply behavior at economically meaningful magnitudes.

Recently we have studied some (conformal) field theories with global symmetries in the sector where the value of the global charge Q is large. We find that the low energy excitations in this sector are described by a particular form of the non-relativistic Goldstone theorem. We also provide heuristic arguments that the effective theory describing such sector contains an effective coupling constant suppressed by powers of the large charge. The comparison of our heuristic arguments with \"exact\" results (lattice MonteCarlo) are remarkably good.

We focus on coordination games with assortative interactions\, where agents with higher types (e.g.\, wealth\, political attitudes) are more likely than lower types to interact with other high types. Assortativity creates scope for misperception\, because what players observe in their local interactions need not be representative of society as a whole. To model this\, we define a tractable solution concept\, “local perception equilibrium” (LPE)\, that describes possible behavior and perceptions when players’ beliefs are derived only from their local observations. We show that there is a unique form of misperception that can persist in any environment: This is assortativity neglect\, where all agents believe the people they interact with to be a representative sample of society as a whole. Relative to the case with correct perceptions\, assortativity neglect generates two mutually reinforcing departures: A “false consensus effect\,” whereby agents’ perceptions of average characteristics in the population are increasing in their own type\; and more “dispersed” behavior in society\, which adversely affects welfare due to increased miscoordination. Finally\, we propose a comparative notion of when one society is more assortative than another and show that more assortative societies are characterized precisely by greater action dispersion and a more severe false consensus effect\, and as a result\, greater assortativity has an ambiguous effect on welfare.

The oceans\, in particular\, are fundamental to the life-sustaining capabilities of Planet Earth\, enabling all organisms from microbes to humans to persist and thrive. Within the oceans\, microbes have an essential role\, making the oxygen we breathe\, removing greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the atmosphere\, anchoring the marine food web\, fueling life within coral reefs\, and promoting the health of fisheries and marine mammals. Detailed studies of microbial metabolism\, therefore\, provide fundamental knowledge about the life-sustaining processes on Earth. Recent work in this field has focused on the first order question of “who is there?” but second-order questions such as “what are they doing” and “how” are equally critical to assessing the role of microbial reactions in the global carbon cycle. Metabolomics\, or the study of biochemical molecules\, is one lens through which the chemical capacity of microbes can be viewed. In this presentation\, I offer two case studies in which we use metabolomics to understand the chemical interplay of microbes. First\, I will present work showing the role of microbes in particle remineralization in the open ocean\, with implications for global carbon cycling. Second\, I will present work showing the role of human and earth microbiomes in the chemistry of human sewage. These case studies are linked by the over-arching theme of microbial metabolism and its sentinel roles in understanding critical processes on our planet and will highlight the continuing role of analytical chemistry in elucidating fundamental earth system functions.

SWANSON MEMORIAL LECTURE: GREGG PASQUARELLI (SHOP ARCHITECTS) DESCRIPTION:Gregg Pasquarelli co-founded the architectural firm SHoP Architects with Christopher Sharples\, Coren Sharples\, Kimberly Holden\, and William Sharples in 1997 and has lectured\, exhibited\, and been published internationally. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Architecture at Columbia GSAPP.

Hudson’s Department Store site in downtown Detroit as a catalyst for the ongoing revitalization of the city. Our clients at Rock Ventures recognized that the Hudson’s site must play a central role in their ongoing efforts to revitalize the city by returning residents\, commerce\, and cultural uses to the center of the city. Together with Detroit-based architects Hamilton Anderson Associates\, we designed a building that offers a very broad range of uses. At its center is an enclosed community civic space that opens wide to welcome residents and visitors from surrounding streets. Around that center\, retail\, residential as well as food and culture will provide everyday services now lacking for the influx of residents that continue to relocate Downtown. Once complete\, the building will be a powerful tool for encouraging growth and the renewal of civic pride—not only downtown but in the surrounding communities and the city and the region as a whole.

Originally hailing from a small Wisconsin town made world famous by a pair of overalls (Oshkosh\, B'Gosh)\, the now Milwaukee-based folk band have cultivated a sensibility beyond their years due in part to the powerful literary force that is frontwoman and songwriter Vos. Raised on Bible hymns by her preacher father\, she has a backstory that sounds more like that of an old bluesman from the Mississippi Delta than that of a young folk singer from Wisconsin. Despite their youth\, Dead Horses have crafted a timeless sound\, informed as much by modern Americana as it is by traditional roots music. They've worked with producer Ken Coomer (Wilco\, Uncle Tupelo) who later invited the band to his studio to record the album\, \"Cartoon Moon.\" They return to Michigan with a new album\, \"My Mother the Moon.\" UID:48992-11342279@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180313T181558 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180406T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Masters Recital: Rachel Barg\, mezzo-soprano DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM: Duparc - Chanson triste\; Lamento\; Au pays où se fait la guerre\; Mahler - Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen\; Tchaikovsky - At the Ball\, op. 38\, no. 3\; None but the Lonely Heart\, op. 6\, no. 6\; Seven Romances\, op. 47\, no. 7\; Dove - All You Who Sleep Tonight.

The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

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

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

Only Don Quixote\, who calls himself \"an unashamed victim of romantic folly\,\" has access to the outside. Kilroy is a central figure\, an ex-boxer\, always the Patsy\, the fall guy\, who asks so little and always gets short-changed\, but he never quits hoping to see the outside. The other principal story is a romance between the aging\, hunting Camille and the fading Casanova\, who yearns now only for tenderness and faithfulness. There are subdued sequences of tenderness and pathos as well as scenes of cataclysmic violence: the near escape of Kilroy the battle to ride the escape plane\; and the wild fiesta to crown the \"tired old peacock\,\" Casanova.
