These interactions are often examined at the phenotypic level by evolutionary ecologists whereas the mechanistic basis of such interactions are detailed by molecular geneticists\; longer-term outcomes of such interactions are assessed by paleobiologists. It is rare\, however\, that plant-environment interactions are examined across scales within the same system\, i.e. from genes\, to molecular mechanism\, phenotype\, fitness\, and deeper evolutionary patterns across time. The aim of this conference is to highlight the work of prominent evolutionary ecologists\, molecular geneticists\, ecophysiologists\, and paleobiologists at the University of Michigan and beyond that examine similar plant-interaction phenomena but at very different scales of study. Our overall goal is to stimulate new collaborations and novel takes on overlapping phenomenon studied across scales.\n\nIllustration: John Megahan.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520818@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180926T120527 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:GISC Conference.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

Dialogues on Memory and Desire DESCRIPTION:Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement\, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse\, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination\; re-writing the canonical accounts of history\; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.\n\nAt a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees\, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists\, designers\, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art\, design\, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.\n\nArtists: Rudolf Baranik\, Stephanie Dinkins\, Emory Douglas\, Brendan Fernandes\, Chitra Ganesh\, Carole Harris\, Maren Hassinger\, Al Loving\, Josh MacPhee\, Native Art Department International\, Michele Oka Doner\, Yoko Ono\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed\, Martha Rosler\, Buster Simpson\, Gregory Sholette\, Leni Sinclair\, Stephanie Syjuco\, Graem Whyte\, and Zafos Xagoraris. \n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

The subsequent article\, “Michigan Homecoming\,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program\, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend\, many of which were not published in the original article\, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article\, these photographs of fervent fans\, strolling couples\, alumni making their annual pilgrimage\, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.\n\nThese photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69\, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

This brief presentation will contextualize these new data within the broader scope of the late Holocene transition that took place in central Alaska and the Yukon Territory. \n\nFirst-year PhD student Erina Baci will share the results of her master's thesis\, a GIS-based settlement pattern analysis completed in 2018 at Mississippi State University. The Illyrians were an Indo-European group of people who once inhabited a large expanse of the western Balkans. As interactions with the Greeks and\, later\, the Romans increased\, the traditional way of life and sociopolitical organization of the Illyrians were undoubtedly altered. Her thesis takes a geospatial approach in order to address how interactions with other groups of people influenced Illyrian settlement patterns. Specifically\, how Greek colonization followed by Roman incorporation affected Illyrian settlement patterns in Albania.

These measures do not often facilitate investigations of the way gender and sex can branch or coincide\, change over time and context\, vary in importance to one’s self\, be situated in relation to cultural norms\, or exist outside binary understandings of gender/sex. To address this gap\, we developed a novel method for assessing individual gender\, sex\, and gender/sex (i.e.\, “gender/sex configurations”) using diagrams adapted from sexual configurations theory (SCT\; van Anders\, 2015). SCT provides a way of understanding and describing gender/sex configurations that centers gender/sex diversity. However\, SCT has yet to be adapted for use in survey research. In this presentation\, I will describe a study in which we asked participants (N = 242) with diverse gender/sex identities to describe their gender/sex configurations with both textual descriptions and through marking and writing on the diagrams from SCT via an online platform. Participants also answered follow-up questions about their understanding of the concepts and their experience describing their gender/sex configurations. Results indicated that a) the diagrams were used in ways consistent with self-identified gender/sex and b) a level of nuance was captured that otherwise would have remained invisible. Furthermore\, participants reported generally understanding the concepts\, and though some found the diagrams unnecessarily complicated\, many saw the utility of the survey\, either for describing their own gender/sex\, as a way to consider others’ identities\, or as a tool for understanding gender/sex diversity in general. Taken together\, these findings indicate that drawing on SCT diagrams proves a promising way to allow people of all identities to describe themselves in ways that have not yet been explored in psychological research\, with numerous potential uses in scientific research\, clinical settings\, and for individual self-understanding.

Control-volume analysis and boundary-layer theory have led to methods for computing drag and estimating basic properties of wakes\, such as decay and spreading rates\, whereas empirical flight testing expanded knowledge important for safe separation of aircraft during landing and takeoff. In general\, it is well known that wakes from practical configurations are comprised of momentum sources and sinks\, vortical structures\, turbulence\, and gravity waves. Furthermore\, spatiotemporal description of wake evolution is a function of vehicle configuration\, operational details (such as speed\, heading\, and altitude/depth)\, and the structure and properties of the environment.\n\nToday\, wake physics is important for a number of modern problems\, including ocean remote sensing\, aviation-induced cloudiness\, and even the use of bubbly ship wakes for geoengineering Earth's future climate. The hallmark of these problems is their multi-physics and multi-scale nature which presents significant challenges to computational modeling and design of useful experiments. In this talk\, these problems will be introduced and discussed\, including relevance\, formulation\, status\, and prognosis. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nEric Paterson is the Rolls-Royce Commonwealth Professor and Head of the Kevin T.

This has allowed graphene to act as a host solid state system for measuring analogous relativistic effects on a laboratory table-top. Recently\, the ability to generate nanoscale substrate gate potentials in hexagonal boron nitride has opened the door for creating confined quantum dot (QD) states in a contiguous sheet of graphene. Unlike other QD systems\, graphene’s exposed electronic surface is uniquely amenable to scanning probe measurements that reveal the detailed spatial structure of the resonant QD states. In this talk I will present scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S) measurements that explore the interplay between spatial and magnetic confinement of Dirac fermions in graphene QDs. I will first describe how quasi-bound resonances occur due to relativistic Klein scattering at QD edges. I will then show how the application of a weak magnetic field (B ~ 0.1 T) can act as a topological Berry phase on/off “switch” resulting in the sudden onset of large energy splittings in the graphene QD spectrum. Finally\, at higher fields (B > 1T)\, I describe measurements that directly visualize the intricate evolution of the QD resonant states into highly degenerate Landau levels where electron interactions lead to the subsequent formation of a 'wedding cake'-like structure of compressible incompressible strips and strong Fermi velocity renormalization.\n UID:53483-13386093@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53483 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180926T092839 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series: The genomic basis of life history adaptation to climate in Arabidopsis thaliana DESCRIPTION:Dr. Schmitt will be speaking today as part of the 2018 Green Life Sciences symposium.

We fly to the archive. We fly to the field. (At least those of us with documents\, time\, and money do.) Yet airline travel seldom appears as a topic in the ethnographic pieces we write\, though other modes of transport frequently do. In this talk\, I explore how this form of flight became an untopic in anthropology. I delve into the works of black surrealists and structural anthropologists from the 1940s and 1950s. Inspired by critical race studies\, I think historically about the origins of a claim often heard when discussing airborne ethnographic fieldwork: “I’ve never thought about that.” The aim of the talk is to understand how untopics and unthoughts are made\, grapple with their effects\, find ways to dismantle them\, and envision what does not come next.\n\nChandra D. Bhimull\, an associate professor of anthropology and African American studies at Colby College\, is a graduate of the Doctoral Program in Anthropology and History at the University of Michigan.

Do they also try to influence which cases they decide? Clearly plaintiffs “shop” for the most attractive forum\, but do judges try to attract cases by “selling” their courts? Some American judges actively try to enlarge their influence by making their courts attractive to plaintiffs\, a phenomenon known as “forum selling.” This article shows that forum selling occurs outside the U.S. as well and focuses on Germany\, a country that is often held up as the paragon of the civil law approach to adjudication. As in the U.S.\, German courts attract cases primarily through the pro-plaintiff manipulation of procedure\, including the routine issuance of ex parte injunctions in press cases and refusal to stay patent infringement proceedings when the patent’s validity is challenged in another forum. A critical difference between forum selling in Germany and the U.S. is that court administrators are more actively involved in Germany. As state officials\, German court administrators have the incentive to consider the effect of caseloads on government revenue and the local economy\, and they use their power to allocate judges to particular kinds of cases in order to make their courts attractive. They also use their power over promotion\, case allocation\, and resources to reward judges who succeed in attracting cases. Based on an extensive set of interviews with attorneys\, judges and court officials\, this article describes evidence of forum selling in German patent\, press\, antitrust\, labor and criminal law. It also analyzes how German courts compete internationally with courts from other countries.\n\nco-authored with Stefan Bechtold and Dan Klerman UID:56219-13867068@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56219 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Law,seminar LOCATION:South Hall - 1020 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180914T105241 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180927T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Revolutionary Landscapes: Ecology\, Power\, and Anarchism in Modern Korea DESCRIPTION:Where should we locate the origins of modern Korea’s environmental problems? Many assume that environmental issues emerged in 1960s South Korea when heavy industrialization in urban areas visibly started to pollute air and water. This presentation\, however\, traces the origins of environmental issues in agricultural modernization. Vigorous modernization efforts in agricultural food production from the late nineteenth century to the present left an ecological footprint on the Korean peninsula\, as governments on the Korean peninsula and diverse figures and groups from the United States and Japan introduced non-native species and new systems of knowledge and practice. Responding to these top-down modernization drives\, Korean communities and associations organized environmental campaigns to build new “ecological systems of life” that would restore local autonomy and governance based on the principles of anarchism. This presentation argues that we need to spatially re-conceptualize “environmental problems” to shift a focus from industrialization and cities to agriculture and the agrarian area in writing a critical environmental history.\n\nAlbert L.

Democracies Emerging and Submerging DESCRIPTION:Does it still make sense to study emerging democracies in a historical moment when democracies seem mostly to be submerging? In his inaugural address as WCED Director\, Dan Slater discusses how research on authoritarianism and democratic dysfunctions might ironically shed light on enduring questions of democratic emergence—especially when it builds on concepts transcending disciplinary boundaries. \n\nDan Slater specializes in the politics and history of enduring dictatorships and emerging democracies\, with a regional focus on Southeast Asia. He comes to Michigan after twelve years on the faculty at the University of Chicago\, where he served as director of the Center for International Social Science Research (CISSR)\, associate professor in the Department of Political Science\, and associate member in the Department of Sociology. His book manuscript examining how divergent historical patterns of contentious politics have shaped variation in state power and authoritarian durability in seven Southeast Asian countries\, entitled \"Ordering Power: Contentious Politics and Authoritarian Leviathans in Southeast Asia\,\" was published in the Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics series in 2010.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

A movie that tells a story that you have never heard…We will watch four international movies from four different countries during the Fall term. The first movie is “3 Idiots”. Two friends embark on a quest for a lost buddy. On this journey\, they encounter a long forgotten bet\, a wedding they must crash\, and a funeral that goes\, ridiculously out of control. As they make their way through the perilous landscape\, another journey begins: their inner journey through memory lane and the story of their friend -- the impressible free-thinker Rancho\, who is in unique way\, touched and changed their lives. It's a story of their hostel days that swings between Rancho's romance with the spirited Pia\, and his clash with an oppressive mentor\, Viru Sahastrabudhhe. And then one day\, suddenly\, Rancho vanished. Who was he? Where did he come from? Why did he leave? The friend who influenced and inspired them to think creatively and independently\, even as the conformist world called them \"three idiots.\" Where is the original idiot now? Finally\, in misty mountains of unparalleled beauty\, the friends find the key to the secret. -Rotten Tomatoes\n\n*This event is funded by the College of Engineering Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion Committee and the Office of Student Affairs.

Donovan\, a Juno Award nominee\, was raised in the small city of Sarnia\, Ontario\, to the sounds of country music\, with a healthy dose of folk and pop\, a combination that instilled in him a strong belief in the power of a good melody\, the importance of everyday language\, and the potential of a carefully crafted song. While amassing a catalogue of rousing and acclaimed music of his own\, he has worked with some of the top songwriters in North America to craft cuts for performers ranging from Alan Doyle to Billy Currington. It’s not that Woods makes music that is a product of both country and folk\; it’s that he makes music that shows how distracting the line separating the two can be. Like with so many songwriters of note\, what matters isn’t what you call it\, or where it comes from\, but the stories you tell\, and the voice you use. Woods's is a voice that demands attention\, and that attention has been quick in coming\, bringing international accolades\, a growing number of fans inside and outside the music industry\, and proclamations like \"Canada’s best-kept secret\,\" \"piercingly honest\,\" and \"quietly anthemic.\" He comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Both Ways.\"\n\nThis show is free at the door to Ark members at the Solo level and above.

Another one of the seven artists\, Lorraine Kolasa\, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting\, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520819@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180926T120527 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180928T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180928T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:GISC Conference.

These interactions are often examined at the phenotypic level by evolutionary ecologists whereas the mechanistic basis of such interactions are detailed by molecular geneticists\; longer-term outcomes of such interactions are assessed by paleobiologists. It is rare\, however\, that plant-environment interactions are examined across scales within the same system\, i.e. from genes\, to molecular mechanism\, phenotype\, fitness\, and deeper evolutionary patterns across time. The aim of this conference is to highlight the work of prominent evolutionary ecologists\, molecular geneticists\, ecophysiologists\, and paleobiologists at the University of Michigan and beyond that examine similar plant-interaction phenomena but at very different scales of study. Our overall goal is to stimulate new collaborations and novel takes on overlapping phenomenon studied across scales.\n\nIllustration: John Megahan.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

Dialogues on Memory and Desire DESCRIPTION:Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement\, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse\, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination\; re-writing the canonical accounts of history\; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.\n\nAt a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees\, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists\, designers\, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art\, design\, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.\n\nArtists: Rudolf Baranik\, Stephanie Dinkins\, Emory Douglas\, Brendan Fernandes\, Chitra Ganesh\, Carole Harris\, Maren Hassinger\, Al Loving\, Josh MacPhee\, Native Art Department International\, Michele Oka Doner\, Yoko Ono\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed\, Martha Rosler\, Buster Simpson\, Gregory Sholette\, Leni Sinclair\, Stephanie Syjuco\, Graem Whyte\, and Zafos Xagoraris. \n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

The subsequent article\, “Michigan Homecoming\,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program\, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend\, many of which were not published in the original article\, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article\, these photographs of fervent fans\, strolling couples\, alumni making their annual pilgrimage\, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.\n\nThese photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69\, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

Physiologies of the Flesh: Medical and Moral Matter in Late Colonial Indonesia DESCRIPTION:In the early 20th century\, the Netherlands East Indies was awash with revivalist and reformist movements. These included Christian missionaries seeking to overcome the failures and frustrations of the previous century and Muslim reformists seeking to reform their faith to meet the political\, epistemological\, and moral challenges of colonial modernity. Both looked to a common resource in pursuit of reform and revival: modern medicine and the medical body. Although often recognizing this convergence of religious and medical modernity among Muslims and Christians in late colonial Indonesia\, historians have done very little to examine critically the role that health\, medicine\, and the medical body played in these projects or the many differences that existed in their appropriations and uses of modern medical discourse and practice. This talk attempts to address these historiographical gaps. It specifically examines how Protestant missionaries and Muslim reformers in Central Java used medical discourse and practice—especially questions of physiology and etiology—to pursue wider ethical\, epistemological\, and devotional projects of modernity. In doing so\, it considers how Protestant and Muslim reformers theologized modernity from conditions of the flesh. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

FES proceeds through scanning over the sample space using windows in the form of $2\times 2$ tables of various sizes\, and on each window completing a Fisher's exact test. Based on a factorization of Fisher's multivariate hypergeometric (MHG) likelihood into the product of the univariate hypergeometric likelihoods\, we show that there exists a coarse-to-fine\, sequential generative representation for the MHG model in the form of a Bayesian network\, which in turn implies the mutual independence (up to deviation due to discreteness) among the Fisher's exact tests completed under FES. This allows an exact characterization of the joint null distribution of the $p$-values and gives rise to an effective inference recipe through simple multiple testing procedures such as \v{S}id\'{a}k and Bonferroni corrections\, eliminating the need for resampling. In addition\, FES can characterize dependency through reporting significant windows after multiple testing control. The computational complexity of FES is approximately linear in the sample size\, which along with the avoidance of resampling makes it ideal for analyzing massive data sets. We use extensive numerical studies to illustrate the work of FES and compare it to several state-of-the-art methods for testing dependency in both statistical and computational performance. Finally\, we apply FES to analyzing a microbiome data set and further investigate its relationship with other popular dependency metrics in that context.

This seminar will discuss the infancy of space travel in the 60's and discuss the changes and transformation of Aerospace through the 2010's. She will discuss the many facets of Aerospace and how your education and knowledge of the Michigan education can take you to meet your goals. Additionally\, Karen will provide insights into the career and recruiting process of the industry. Her experience in creating engineering predates the use of computers and CAD systems to design and analyze aerospace vehicles. She will also reveal how the course \"Geography of the Soviet Union\" played a key part in her career.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nKaren’s illustrious career as an Aerospace Engineer began at NASA JSC where she developed analytic methods for composite primary structure under fatigue and fracture mechanics for Space Shuttle. Karen participated in the Longitudinal Study of Astronaut Health (LSAH). \n\nAt Lockheed Martin\, she worked on Missile Launching Systems\, Basic Research\, Commercial Aircraft\, Undersea Systems\, SMART Structures\, Robotics and high performance Military Aircraft. She developed embedded fiber optics technology. She is a Master Black Belt in 6-sigma and Lean Engineering.\n\nKaren serves on several university engineering and non-profit boards. Karen is the 2007 Distinguished Alumnus –Aerospace for the UM. \n\nKaren is now CEO of Karen Albrecht Enterprises a Career and Personal Development Organization. Karen has delivered over 200 seminars for courses she developed and gives her time and knowledge to help students navigate career fairs and resume. Karen has set up an endowment fund for Aerospace undergraduate education and provides scholarships for Aerospace Engineering students who need the support to finish their education at the University of Michigan. She has already given out 5 scholarships to Aero students.

Yet while scholars have long examined the economic drivers of innovation and entrepreneurship\, we know less about the cultural forces which shape these dynamics. To the extent that the existing entrepreneurship literature has considered how culture shapes innovation and entrepreneurship\, it has mainly been viewed as a constraining force which limited and hindered the creation of novelty. This is especially true for economic approaches to entrepreneurship and innovation. I will present ideas from a forthcoming book in development with Mary Ann Glynn that leverages contemporary cultural approaches to entrepreneurship that were\, in part\, seeded by our 2001 SMJ paper on cultural entrepreneurship. In contrast to conceptualizing culture as a normative constraint\, recent scholarship draws more from Swidler's notion of culture as a toolkit\, highlighting the importance of cultural skill in the context of entrepreneurial action. I will review key arguments from the book that sketches an agenda for future research on cultural entrepreneurship\, highlighting the fruitfulness of a field analytic approach and a focus on projective agency. An example from the development of nanotechnology will be used to illustrate key arguments.

Consequently many important aspects of Roman culture and society come into sharper focus through examining the specific forms that Roman Hellenism took at different times\, in different places\, and in different media. These include changes in processes of acculturation at Rome\, in how the Romans’ created meaning and identity\, in the ways various art forms expressed cultural values\, etc. Yet the matter of what scholars do when they compare Roman Hellenisms\, and the practical and conceptual issues that such acts of comparison presuppose and raise\, have never received a focused study of their own. \n\nThe organizers of this conference have sought papers addressing this problem. The conference features an international list of speakers combining major scholars from outside the University with faculty at U-M. It includes researchers working in a variety of fields (archaeology\, literature\, history\, art history) and historical periods (from Rome’s origins to Late Antiquity) so as to encourage the most wide-ranging discussion possible.\n\nSchedule of events:\n\nFriday\, September 28\n\n2:00 Welcome\n\nPanel I: Re-Inventing and Re-Presenting Roman History\, Art\, and Literature\n\n2:15 David Potter (University of Michigan)\, \"Lycophron\, Cato and the Invention of Italian History\"\n\n2:45 Roman Roth (University of Cape Town)\, \"‘Inuenio et Pythagorae et Alcibiadi in cornibus comitii positas’ (Plin.

Oh my! DESCRIPTION:The past few years have seen a growing interest to explore dark matter candidates that are outside of the standard WIMP / axion paradigms. A resurgence of macroscopic dark matter candidates have brought with it a mix of whimsical names — primordial black holes\, asymmetric dark matter nuggets\, and dark blobs — to name a few. In general the difficulty with macro dark matter is not the observational constraints\, which are typically quite sparse and weak\, but rather the challenge is finding a well-motivated mechanism for producing gram-sized dark matter objects. In this talk\, I will argue that “dark quark nuggets” are a generic prediction of confining\, hidden-sector gauge theories. I will discuss the phenomenology of these theories\, the cosmological production of dark quark nuggets\, and their observational probes.

The photographs speak to the close relationship of these communities with the natural and spiritual worlds. They record the daily lives of the Maya but also evoke their underlying world of mystical and religious experience -- the rituals that give continuity and permanence in a world of disposable culture. The work focuses on indigenous healers\, many of whom are women believed to have connections with the supernatural. They use ancient Maya practices and derive theirpower and knowledge from dreams. These rituals survive despite the genocide of the Maya people perpetrated over several decades until 1996. The resurgence of Maya identity in the renewal of formerly suppressed Maya practices celebrates the endurance of indigenous cultures. \n\nFran Antmann is a photographer\, writer and educator. She teaches photography at Baruch College\, CUNY. Her photographic work has focused on the lives and culture of theindigenous people of Guatemala and Peru as well as the Dene people of the Western Canadian Arctic and the Inuit of Baffin Island\, Canada. She has received grants from the Ford and J. Paul Getty Foundations\, the Puffin Foundation\, the Social Science Research Council and five NY State Foundation for the Arts fellowships in Photography and Non-Fiction Literature. For over a decade she worked on Maya Healers: A Thousand Dreams withyearly trips to Guatemala. The book is a fiscally sponsored project of the New York Foundation for the Arts\, a finalist for the 2017 Lucie Foundation Photo Book Prize and received Honorable Mention from PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris Juried Awards 2018.\n\nFran Antmann is a photographer\, writer and educator.

Such taxonomic diversity is unusual\, and begs the question of how these organisms were distributed over\, and were influenced by\, the landscapes they occupied. In an effort to answer this question\, stable isotope isotope data have been collected from hadrosaurid tooth enamel & dentine\, gar fish scales\, paleosol alkanes and carbonate nodules\, and micritic pond carbonates of the Campanian-aged Kaiparowits Formation in southern Utah. Results suggest the existence of fluvial systems akin to those of present-day Cambodia\, with interfluves impacted by episodic flooding and the resultant mixing of water from low and high elevation sources. Carbon cycling in interfluve soils took place via oxidation and/or methanogenesis\, depending on soil drainage/the degree of seasonal flooding. Vegetation appears to track landscape-scale variations in hydrology and carbon cycling\, with closed-canopy and open–canopy forests associated with wetter and drier environments\, respectively. In turn\, the movement of dinosaurs appears to track vegetation\, with different groups eating vegetation from only one type of forest or the other. Taken together\, these results suggest that differences in soil drainage over a landscape allowed for the occurrence of many unique floral assemblages in close proximity\, each of which supported its own faunal assemblage.

Despite this fact\, most scholars still treat these types of laws as though they were anomalous. Aside from transgressing the presumed neutrality of contemporary public law\, religiously preferential constitutions are also assumed to give clear political or economic advantages to members of the preferred religious groups.\n\nYet\, are these worries valid? Are religious supremacy clauses always an unequivocal boon for the majority religious groups? Moreover\, when it comes to the functioning of constitutional law in society\, how different are mechanism and effects of religiously preferential constitutions compared with secular ones?\n\nDrawing on my recent book\, and ongoing research\, I explore these questions in the context of Sri Lanka—a country that\, for the last four decades\, has given Buddhism special constitutional status. Through an analysis of Buddhist doctrine\, monastic practices and legal theory I hope to complicate existing wisdom about the effects of religious supremacy clauses and to challenge the assumed binary opposition between secular constitutions and religious preferential ones. \n\nBenjamin Schonthal is Associate Professor of Buddhism and Asian Religions at the University of Otago\, in New Zealand. His research examines the intersections of religion\, law and politics in late-colonial and contemporary Southern Asia\, with a particular focus on Buddhism and law in Sri Lanka. His work appears in The Journal of Asian Studies\, Modern Asian Studies\, the International Journal of Constitutional Law and other places. Ben's first book\, Buddhism\, Politics and the Limits of Law\, appeared with Cambridge University Press in 2016. His current project\, supported by the Marsden Fund of the Royal Society of New Zealand\, examines the lived practices of monastic law in contemporary Sri Lanka and their links with state-legal structures.

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

A topic of significant importance in social network analysis is the creation of statistical models for social network data. Many social network data involve relations between people observed at multiple points in time and are thus dynamic network data. In this talk\, I introduce several statistical models for analyzing two types of dynamic network data. Discrete-time network data\, also known as network panel data\, represent the structure of the social network at regular time intervals\, e.g. over each week or each month.Continuous-time network data\, also known as timestamped network or relational event data\, are collected with finer granularity on the time and at irregular time intervals. I demonstrate how these models can be used to infer network structures and how they evolve over time on several dynamic social network data sets\, including a network of physical proximities between people at a university and a network of wall posts between users on Facebook.\n\nBio: Kevin S.

Using terra-cotta sculpture clay\, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals\, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness\, surprise\, mischief\, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times\, building up a rich\, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting\, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics\, paint\, graphite and pastel.

For each one\, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells\, tissues and organs\, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants\, worms\, fruit flies\, fish\, mice and yes\, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators\, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images\, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma\, bipolar disease\, epilepsy and cancer.

Another one of the seven artists\, Lorraine Kolasa\, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting\, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef\, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon\, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler\, Roger Smith\, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman\, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation\, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

Blending images from the real world and her imagination\, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty\, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature\, such as tree branches\, ice patterns\, twisted vines\, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures\, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

Consequently many important aspects of Roman culture and society come into sharper focus through examining the specific forms that Roman Hellenism took at different times\, in different places\, and in different media. These include changes in processes of acculturation at Rome\, in how the Romans’ created meaning and identity\, in the ways various art forms expressed cultural values\, etc. Yet the matter of what scholars do when they compare Roman Hellenisms\, and the practical and conceptual issues that such acts of comparison presuppose and raise\, have never received a focused study of their own. \n\nThe organizers of this conference have sought papers addressing this problem. The conference features an international list of speakers combining major scholars from outside the University with faculty at U-M. It includes researchers working in a variety of fields (archaeology\, literature\, history\, art history) and historical periods (from Rome’s origins to Late Antiquity) so as to encourage the most wide-ranging discussion possible.\n\nSchedule of events:\n\nFriday\, September 28\n\n2:00 Welcome\n\nPanel I: Re-Inventing and Re-Presenting Roman History\, Art\, and Literature\n\n2:15 David Potter (University of Michigan)\, \"Lycophron\, Cato and the Invention of Italian History\"\n\n2:45 Roman Roth (University of Cape Town)\, \"‘Inuenio et Pythagorae et Alcibiadi in cornibus comitii positas’ (Plin.

While often linked to the digital age\, the virtual implies imagined and immersive spaces that despite their defiance of material and physical boundaries impact these nonetheless. Ten graduate students in art history and related fields from the University of Michigan and other institutions will present papers that collectively address the impact of the virtual on the mind\, body\, and the construction or cementation of boundaries.\n\nExpansive Realities is further delighted to host Kristina Kleutghen\, David.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

Dialogues on Memory and Desire DESCRIPTION:Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement\, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse\, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination\; re-writing the canonical accounts of history\; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.\n\nAt a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees\, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists\, designers\, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art\, design\, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.\n\nArtists: Rudolf Baranik\, Stephanie Dinkins\, Emory Douglas\, Brendan Fernandes\, Chitra Ganesh\, Carole Harris\, Maren Hassinger\, Al Loving\, Josh MacPhee\, Native Art Department International\, Michele Oka Doner\, Yoko Ono\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed\, Martha Rosler\, Buster Simpson\, Gregory Sholette\, Leni Sinclair\, Stephanie Syjuco\, Graem Whyte\, and Zafos Xagoraris. \n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

The subsequent article\, “Michigan Homecoming\,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program\, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend\, many of which were not published in the original article\, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article\, these photographs of fervent fans\, strolling couples\, alumni making their annual pilgrimage\, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.\n\nThese photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69\, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520820@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180828T152844 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180929T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180929T140000 SUMMARY:Well-being:Group-X Overtime - Yoga on the Grass DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the fall with an outdoor yoga class.

Completed in 1891\, Newberry Hall is one of the oldest buildings on the University of Michigan campus. Join us on a guided walk through this Richardsonian Romanesque building and learn about its architecture and fascinating history. \n\nThe highlight of the tour is an up-close view of the glorious Tiffany stained-glass window in the Kelsey Museum library. Julia Truettner\, U-M preservationist and building historian\, describes the window as follows: \n\n\"The Fox memorial window utilizes many kinds of glass\, including roundels and chunks or nuggets\, as well as plated layers\, to produce a range of colors from rich claret and deep sapphire to greens\, golds\, and lighter shades of pinks\, yellows\, and blues. The abstract design incorporates not only geometric forms but also floral and vegetable motifs\, such as the green pods around the perimeter and the petal-like forms at the bottom\, which embrace the panels naming the honorees. These forms\, plus the medallion at the top with its floral images surrounded by roundels\, hint at Tiffany's coming mastery of landscape\, figural\, and ecclesiastical designs.\" \n\nSpace on the tour is limited to 30 participants. Please register by emailing mullersm@umich.edu. \n\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors.

Another one of the seven artists\, Lorraine Kolasa\, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting\, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef\, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon\, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches.

Blending images from the real world and her imagination\, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty\, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature\, such as tree branches\, ice patterns\, twisted vines\, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures\, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

Dialogues on Memory and Desire DESCRIPTION:Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement\, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse\, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination\; re-writing the canonical accounts of history\; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.\n\nAt a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees\, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists\, designers\, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art\, design\, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.\n\nArtists: Rudolf Baranik\, Stephanie Dinkins\, Emory Douglas\, Brendan Fernandes\, Chitra Ganesh\, Carole Harris\, Maren Hassinger\, Al Loving\, Josh MacPhee\, Native Art Department International\, Michele Oka Doner\, Yoko Ono\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed\, Martha Rosler\, Buster Simpson\, Gregory Sholette\, Leni Sinclair\, Stephanie Syjuco\, Graem Whyte\, and Zafos Xagoraris. \n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

The subsequent article\, “Michigan Homecoming\,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program\, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend\, many of which were not published in the original article\, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article\, these photographs of fervent fans\, strolling couples\, alumni making their annual pilgrimage\, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.\n\nThese photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69\, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520821@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180918T215538 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180930T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180930T150000 SUMMARY:Well-being:FREE 4-Session Mindfulness Class DESCRIPTION:SEPTEMBER SESSIONS ARE NOW FULL. \nSundays from 1:30 - 3:00pm (9/9\, 9/16\, 9/23\, 9/30)\n@ Ann Arbor District Library Meeting Room (343 S. Fifth Ave.\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48104)\n\nOctober class registration now open! https://events.umich.edu/event/55611\nDuring this 4-session class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills\, including meditation\, for managing stress and enriching your life. Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life\, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental\, accepting\, even curious\, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude\, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.\n\nKoru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill\, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks\, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!\n\nFor any questions\, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.

This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from the entirety of Rand’s career.

Please visit our website to register.\n\nThrough labels\, museums identify\, classify\, and make sense of artworks on display. Yet such information is rarely uncomplicated: many of the ways we classify the historical arts of Africa are in fact remnants of colonization\, when European powers carved up the continent into sharply divided groups and nations\, failing to recognize moments of interaction\, encounter\, and exchange. The exhibition \"Beyond Borders: Global Africa\" brings together artworks that challenge such borders\, ranging from historical objects from UMMA's collection\, to contemporary artworks by Omar Victor Diop\, Nandipha Mntambo and Kudzanai Chiurai. Join Laura De Becker\, exhibition curator and UMMA's Helmut and Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, in a conversation exploring how conceptual and geographic borders continue to inform - and limit - the way we collect\, research\, and display the arts of Africa.\n\nLead support for \"Beyond Borders: Global Africa\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

Kendra Mohn\n\nEvents of recent history have clearly demonstrated to us how little we have progressed in the areas of social justice - justice for women\, justice For sexual orientation\, justice for race and creed are to name but a few of these areas which seem to populate newspaper headlines\, television news feeds and social media. The church triumphant cannot remain mute in the face of these societal ills and issues\, but must stand strong and with a clear voice proclaim justice for all - justice for all creation. This hymn festival will present a variety of hymns which address these issues with texts written by women poets and authors as well as settings by women composers. It will be our hope to present the best of what these voices have to offer for the edification of all who hear their words and music.

For each one\, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells\, tissues and organs\, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants\, worms\, fruit flies\, fish\, mice and yes\, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators\, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images\, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma\, bipolar disease\, epilepsy and cancer.

In this book\, Barry Rabe offers the first major political science analysis of the feasibility and sustainability of carbon pricing\, drawing upon a series of real-world attempts to price carbon over the last two decades in North America\, Europe\, and Asia.\n\nRabe asks whether these policies have proven politically viable and\, if adopted\, whether they survive political shifts and managerial challenges over time. The entire policy life cycle is examined\, from adoption through advanced implementation\, on a range of pricing policies including not only carbon taxes and cap-and-trade but also such alternative methods as taxing fossil fuel extraction.

Although multitasking refers to the simultaneous execution of multiple tasks\, most activities that require active attention cannot actually be done simultaneously. Therefore\, whether a certain activity is considered multitasking is often a matter of perception.\n\nThe current paper demonstrates the malleability of what people perceive as multitasking\, showing that the same activity may or may not be construed as multitasking. Importantly\, although engaging in multiple tasks may diminish performance\, we find that\, holding the activity constant\, the mere perception of multitasking in fact improves performance.\n\nAcross 32 studies (30 of which with performance-based incentives)\, totaling 8\,242 participants\, we find that those who perceived an activity as multitasking were more engaged\, and consequently outperformed those who perceived that same activity as single-tasking.

Language Issues: Ancient and Modern DESCRIPTION:The 2018 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme\, “The Process of Discovery: How Scholars Write Books Today” will discuss how in popular media\, writing is fantastically presented as a process whereby inspiration—a muse— comes to the writer (or fails to). In this fantasy\, writers type fiendishly or crumple up one sheet after another. The reality is at once more complicated and humble than this. Come discover how scholars discover. The colloquium series will feature presentations from CMENAS faculty on their recent book projects and will explore the research process from start to finish. \n------\n \nLecture Abstract: \nPeople sure love to talk and write\, ancients and moderns alike. But how can we know what people four thousand years ago were trying to do when they used language? We will look at various language questions raised by ancient Middle Eastern sources and discuss how modern linguistic\, anthropological\, and historical methodologies can bridge thousand-year gaps\, so that we can communicate with women and men from long ago. And\, just as importantly\, how do we explain these methodologies to non-expert readers—how do you write a book about one topic\, while simultaneously taking your readers into other fields that require different modes of thinking and evaluation? How do you address one audience while speaking the language of a different one? \n\nSpeaker Bio: \nJay Crisostomo is an Assyriologist\, researching language and social and intellectual histories of the ancient Middle East. His book Translation as Scholarship: Language\, Writing\, and Bilingual Education in Ancient Babylonia will be published in early 2019. He is currently working on the linguistic and social history of the Sumerian language\, one of the world’s earliest and most important recorded languages. \n\n---\nThe following text will be included on all II events unless you indicate otherwise:If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

However\, instead of allene activation\, a pendant ester was transesterified and etherified\, which led to our development of a gold-catalyzed\, microwave protocol to activate alcohols to form ethers and amines via an intermolecular\, SN1-type reaction. Ultimately\, in lieu of a metal-catalyzed version\, we have developed a Bronsted acid-catalyzed allenoate Claisen that affords the corresponding products in high yields and enantioselectivities. Lessons learned from these studies have led to the serendipitous discovery of a silver-catalyzed\, N-formylation reaction and have informed our development of an anti-Markovnikov hydroamination reaction. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nScott Denmark(University of Illinois) \, Noah Burns(Stanford University) \, Anna Wenzel(Claremont McKenna College) UID:50748-11861929@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50748 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Palmer Commons Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180927T172050 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181001T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181001T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Big Ten Voting Challenge DESCRIPTION:Be a part of the \"Big Ten Voting Challenge 90% Pledge\" and help U-M Mechanical Engineering reach the largest number of registered student voters!

There is an intimate relationship between philosophy and travel: both challenge our everyday assumptions and both raise important ethical questions. \n\nThis course will explore those connections. Some of the questions we will discuss include: Is there a moral value to travel? What are the moral virtues or even obligations of the “good traveler”? Should we “do as the Romans do” even if they act immorally (e.g.\, disrespect women)? Do we have a moral obligation to represent our country when we travel abroad? Can we truly understand another culture and should we try? When does travel become voyeurism? Does our quest for “authentic” travel destroy the very authenticity of the places we visit? If we are concerned about impoverished areas\, should we use our money to help them rather than visit them? \n\nInstructor Elias Baumgarten just retired from teaching philosophy for 46 years at UM-Dearborn and has traveled to over 70 countries.

The report identifies key findings on the causes and impacts of sexual harassment in academia and makes recommendations to address and prevent it.\n\nThis event will include a summary of the report\, discussion from the report’s co-authors\, commentary from disciplinary experts\, and Q&A with the audience. A reception will follow. \n\nWelcome by Alec D. Gallimore\, Robert J. Vlasic Dean of Engineering\, Richard F. and Eleanor A. Towner Professor of Engineering\, U-M\n\nPANELISTS : \n- Gilda A. Barabino\,* Daniel and Frances Berg Professor and Dean\, Grove School of Engineering\, City College of New York\n- Alec D. Gallimore\, Robert J. Vlasic Dean of Engineering\, Richard F. and Eleanor A. Towner Professor of Engineering\, U-M\n- Allison Steiner\, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences\, Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering\, and the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences\, U-M\n\nREPORT OVERVIEW & PANEL MODERATION:\n- Lilia Cortina\,* Associate Director of ADVANCE for the College of LSA\; Professor of Psychology\, Women’s Studies\, and Management and Organizations\, U-M\n- Anna Kirkland\,* Director of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender\; Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Women’s Studies\, U-M\n\nPreventing and effectively addressing sexual harassment of women in colleges and universities has remained a challenge for decades. More than half of women faculty and staff report having been harassed. Student surveys of university systems show disturbingly similar rates\, with 20–50% of women students experiencing sexually harassing behavior perpetrated by faculty or staff.\n\nPersistent sexual harassment in STEM fields\, and its adverse impacts on women’s careers\, jeopardizes progress in closing the gender gap\, damages research integrity\, and results in a costly loss of talent. Academic sciences\, engineering\, and medicine share characteristics that create conditions for harassment\, but many findings of the report are not limited to STEM field settings. Other fields within academia can be similarly male-dominated\, hierarchical work and learning settings in which abusive cultures may form. Such environments can silence and limit the career opportunities for both the targets of the sexual harassment and bystanders\, causing both men and women to leave their fields.\n\nThis panel discussion will offer broad discussion of use to any member of the university community or the public interested in sexual harassment in academia\n\nSexual Harassment in the Academy Panel Discussion Series is presented by IRWG and the Office of Research\, with co-sponsorship from: ADVANCE\, The Office for Health Equity and Inclusion\, the College of Literature Sciences\, and the Arts\, and the College of Engineering\n\nQuestions or for accessibility information\, please contact irwg@umich.edu or (734) 764-9537.\n\n*National Academies committee member and report co-author UID:51305-12044086@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51305 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Diversity,Engineering,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Stamps Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180816T150333 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181001T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181001T181500 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Film Screening and Discussion of Soufra DESCRIPTION:Soufra follows the unlikely and wildly inspirational story of intrepid social entrepreneur\, Mariam Shaar – a generational refugee who has spent her entire life in the Burj El Barajneh refugee camp just south of Beirut\, Lebanon. The film follows Mariam as she sets out against all odds to change her fate by launching a successful catering company\, “Soufra\,” and then expand it into a food truck business with a diverse team of fellow refugee woman who now share this camp as their home. Together\, they heal the wounds of war through the unifying power of food while taking their future into their own hands through an unrelenting belief in Mariam\, and in each other. In the process\, Mariam is breaking barriers\, pulling together Syrian\, Iraqi\, Palestinian and Lebanese women to work side by side and form beautiful friendships while running this thriving business. \n \nSoufra will shine a new and revealing light on people inside of the largest refugee crisis in human history\, but ultimately this film is about hope\, grit\, passion and the common bonds created by bringing people together around food as a bridge to overcome all barriers. Though Mariam is officially considered “stateless” she is a beacon of hope and home for thousands upon thousands of women in the most unlikely of places. Mariam and her team will be just that for thousands more once her story is told through Soufra. \n \nThe screening of the film will be followed by a discussion and Q&A featuring Soufra director and producer\, Thomas Morgan and Quinn Konarska\, U-M International Studies alumna and production coordinator\, Rebelhouse Group\, who helped produce the film. \n \nA reception with light appetizers and refreshments will follow the film discussion. The cookbook\, Soufra: Recipes from a Refugee Food Truck\, will also be available for purchase for $20.00 via cash or check.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by: Program in International and Comparative Studies\, Center for Entrepreneurship\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, Donia Human Rights Center\, Global Islamic Studies Center\, Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, Department of Middle East Studies\, and Center for Middle East and North African Studies\n \nThomas Morgan \nDirector and Producer\, Soufra \nThomas attended college at Central Michigan University where he graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration in 1990. Morgan worked as real estate developer and investment banker for most of his career. In 2009\, after a “series of unlikely events” Morgan left the corporate world behind to become a documentary filmmaker and activist. \n \nHis films have been labeled “Filmanthropy” as he has leveraged them to create movements and a call to action. In Storied Streets\, Morgan captures the painful reality of homelessness in America and gracefully unearths pain and personal triumphs of those living unhoused in our country. Through the film he has protested\, petitioned and pushed for laws making the violence against the homeless a hate crime\, higher wages and abolishment of laws criminalizing homelessness. \n \nWith the 2013 documentary short film\, Waiting for Mamu\, he speaks to the power of one\, through the story of Pushpa Basnet\, who at age 21 began helping free children from the prison floors in Nepal. The award winning film has raised the money to build a permanent home\, The Butterfly Home\, in Kathmandu and assisted in supporting their education. He has added Executive Producer to his resume through his support of Silenced\, a film about US government whistleblowers\, and India’s Daughter\, an Oscar contending film about the rape and murder of a 23 year old medical student in India. \n \nMorgan has been a keynote speaker many times on Capitol Hill and twice before the U.S. Congress. He also spoke for the PPL forum at the 2012 Democratic National Convention and at 2013 at the United Nations. His TED Talk entitled “Put On Your Underoos It’s Time To Save The World” has been seen via internet by hundreds of thousands. He has done one of the most unusual TEDx Talks from Nepal soon after the earthquake while providing relief to Pushpa Basnet and her children and was the commencement speaker at his alma mater given what has been called “One the best commencement speeches of 2015.” \n \nQuinn Konarska\, Rebelhouse Studios\, Los Angeles\, CA \nBA International Studies - Global Environment and Heath\; minors\, Global Media Studies\, and French and Francophone Studies '13 \n \nQuinn graduated from the University of Michigan in 2013 with a BA in International Studies focused on Global Environment and Health\, and minors in Screen Arts and Cultures\, and French and Francophone studies. While at Michigan\, she was an active member of FOKUS (Fighting Obstacles Knowing Ultimate Success) and SHEI Magazine\, and studied abroad in Aix-en-Provence\, France. In 2011\, she worked for Participant Media as a documentary development intern\, helping to fund and produce films for social change. Upon graduation\, she accepted an offer with Google in San Francisco. She worked in People Operations\, developing events and programs to engage with top tech talent while working to build a more diverse hiring pipeline. In August 2017\, Quinn left Google\, packed up her Volvo wagon\, and headed south to pursue impact media in Los Angeles. \n \nQuinn currently works as a production and outreach coordinator for Rebelhouse Group\, a creative agency that produces films in tandem with outreach campaigns to enact social change. Their most recent documentary\, Soufra\, tells the story of a group of refugee women in Lebanon who set out to launch a successful catering company and expand it into a food truck business. Soufra was an official selection of the Berlin International Film Festival\, Cannes Positive Cinema Week\, DOC NYC\, El Gouna\, and numerous other film festivals. Quinn plans to continue pursuing writing and filmmaking as tools to make the world a better place.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

A major quality indicator of an implant is the percentage of patients needing a revision surgery to replace implant components. National registries in Australia\, Sweden\, Norway\, New Zealand report revision risk for individual implant models. Surgeons have used these data to choose better implants\, resulting in improved quality. National registries also forced DePuy to recall its ASR hip resurfacing device by publicly reporting the poor outcomes for that implant. The only registry in the United States publicly reporting implant performance is the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative (MARCQI). MARCQI is a state-wide collaborative of hospitals and surgeons dedicated to improving the quality of care for hip and knee replacement patients. It collects and analyzes data from over 95% of all elective total hip and knee replacement patients performed in the state of Michigan. It uses these data to compute revision risk data for implants and publicly reports the results in an annual report. This talk will explain MARCQI and its first annual report that was released in 2017. The report is a “consumer reports” of hip and knee replacement implants. Possibilities for using Bayesian network and linear programming models to improve causal inference will be presented.\n\nRichard Hughes received his Ph.D. in Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan in 1991. In 1998 he returned to the University of Michigan as faculty in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. In the interim\, he completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic and worked at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. His work today focuses on quality improvement in hip and knee arthroplasty. Along with Dr. Brian Hallstrom\, M.D.\, Dr. Hughes is Co-Director of the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative (MARCQI). MARCQI is a network of 67 hospitals across Michigan that work together to improve quality of care for hip and knee arthroplasty patients by sharing best practices. He also developed and teaches IOE 413 Optimization Modeling in Health Care. \n\nThe seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.\nFor additional information and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, \nplease contact genehkim@umich.edu UID:55983-13814258@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55983 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Industrial and Operations Engineering,Medicine,seminar LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering - 1123 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180813T181524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181001T164000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181001T183000 SUMMARY:Performance:Guest Master Class: Christina Smith\, flute DESCRIPTION:Christina Smith is one of the most sought-after flutists in the country as an orchestral player\, soloist\, chamber musician\, and teacher.

A linchpin of the phenomenally successful Louisville neo-psychedelic rock band My Morning Jacket\, he has released three solo albums\, including the new \"Wished Out.\" Solo\, he plays acoustic instruments and takes an introspective approach. \"It takes a lot of time to know your mind\,\" Carl says and that Zen-like statement informs his intimate musings on life\, reflecting on things as they are and making no judgment on how they should be. The music of Carl Broemel gives pause for thought but stops well short of preaching. It inhabits little fractured moments that invite the listener into thoughtful contemplation that in turn gives rise to epiphanies on larger themes.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520823@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180926T100715 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:IPG Photonics Company Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Company Day for IPG Photonics on October 2 from 9:00am until 2:00pm in the Duderstadt Atrium.\n\n \n\nIMAGINE a career working to develop the world’s most powerful lasers which dominate 80% of the world’s fiber laser market.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

Dialogues on Memory and Desire DESCRIPTION:Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement\, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse\, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination\; re-writing the canonical accounts of history\; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.\n\nAt a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees\, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists\, designers\, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art\, design\, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.\n\nArtists: Rudolf Baranik\, Stephanie Dinkins\, Emory Douglas\, Brendan Fernandes\, Chitra Ganesh\, Carole Harris\, Maren Hassinger\, Al Loving\, Josh MacPhee\, Native Art Department International\, Michele Oka Doner\, Yoko Ono\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed\, Martha Rosler\, Buster Simpson\, Gregory Sholette\, Leni Sinclair\, Stephanie Syjuco\, Graem Whyte\, and Zafos Xagoraris. \n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

The subsequent article\, “Michigan Homecoming\,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program\, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend\, many of which were not published in the original article\, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article\, these photographs of fervent fans\, strolling couples\, alumni making their annual pilgrimage\, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.\n\nThese photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69\, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

In the minds of many foreigners\, baby towers came to embody both a peculiar rendering of Chinese death practices\, as well as a growing animus toward certain aspects of Chinese social life. This talk will attempt to contextualize these structures\, by describing and mapping the history of campaigns to bury children in the late imperial period. \n \nJeff Snyder-Reinke is a professor of Chinese history at The College of Idaho. He earned his PhD in modern Chinese history from the University of Michigan in 2006. He conducted dissertation research at the Institute for Qing History in Beijing while on a Fulbright fellowship. Out of this research came his first book\, \"Dry Spells: State Rainmaking and Local Governance in Late Imperial China\,\" which was published by the Harvard University Asia Center in 2009. He is currently working on a book-length study of infant burial in the Qing dynasty.

Yet a certain emotional distance is necessary when one writes poetry with the language of oppression\, especially when one has been the victim\, and offers a historical testimony. What kind of liberties can one take with the material? What constitutes appropriate artistic utterance when one navigate the territories of poetry about the hard truths? Rescuing words from screams of pain and anger into poetic expression\, which shows the effect of oppression on the inner landscape of feeling\, is what poetry offers as an art.

In the first part of the talk\, we will discuss recent advances in Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) type theorems\, which put stringent microscopic constraints on the low-energy dynamics of translation-invariant lattice systems. We will introduce a new interpretation of the classic LSM theorem and its higher-dimensional version by Oshikawa and Hastings\, as consequences of the bulk-boundary correspondence for translation symmetry-protected topological phases in higher dimensions. We then discuss various generalizations and refinements following this new perspective. In the second part\, we discuss the relation between translation symmetry transformations on quasiparticle excitations and their mobility. It turns out that certain patterns of translation symmetry fractionalization (in the presence of a global U(1) symmetry) imply that quasiparticles are immobile\, i.e. they become fractons. We show that such fractonic particles naturally appear in three dimensional U(1) spin liquids\, and develop a systematic understanding for symmetry enforced restrictions on mobility. We will also discuss possible physical realizations.\n UID:56047-13823404@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56047 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180808T102050 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Comparative Politics Workshop DESCRIPTION:TBA UID:53064-13217927@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53064 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Politics LOCATION:Haven Hall - Prefunction Room (5769) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180905T091520 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T170000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Cross-Campus Transfer Info Sessions DESCRIPTION:If you are enrolled in another University of Michigan-Ann Arbor school or college and are interested in transferring to LSA\, you must attend a transferring to LSA information session.\n\nInfo sessions will be held in Angell Hall\, Room G243 at 4:00 p.m. on the following dates:\n\nTuesday\, September 11\nMonday\, September 17\nTuesday\, October 2\nMonday\, October 22\nMonday\, November 19\nTuesday\, December 4\nWednesday\, December 12 UID:54741-13642955@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54741 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Undergraduate LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181002T181546 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Insights into Complex Molecular Processes from Quantitative Atomistic Simulations DESCRIPTION: Molecular dynamics simulations are a powerful means to provide\nmolecular-level insights into processes ranging from gas-phase\nreaction dynamics to complex non-reactive and reactive rearrangements\nin biological systems. The utility of such simulations depends\nsensitively on the accuracy with which the intermolecular interactions\nare represented. In this seminar I will discuss recent progress in\nforce field development including multipolar force fields\, reproducing\nkernel Hilbert space techniques and machine learning and their\napplication to spectroscopy and reactive processes in the condensed\nphase. The focus is on directly linking experimental observations with\ncomputations which provides molecular level understanding of\nspectroscopic observables and time scales from state-of-the art\nexperiments. A typical example discussed will be the relationship\nbetween structure and dynamics for infrared and X-ray absorption\nspectroscopy of biomolecules or the thermodynamics of reversed phase\nliquid chromatography. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMarkus Meuwly (University of Basel\, Switzerland) UID:52807-13081672@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52807 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180914T142452 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Pre-Law 101 Workshops DESCRIPTION:We will review the law school admission process and provide tips for submitting a strong application.\n\nWorkshops will be taking place:\nFriday\, September 14\, 3:00 to 4:00 p.m.\nThursday\, September 27\, 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.\nTuesday\, October 2\, 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. (geared toward transfer students\, but all are welcome)\nWednesday\, November 7\, 11 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. UID:55431-13725291@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55431 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Pre-Law LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 (Newnan Advising Center Conference Room) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181012T124842 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181002T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UROP Excel Basics Workshop DESCRIPTION:This workshop is for UROP students only.

Cooperate or Resist? State-Society Relations and Authoritarianism in Russia and Beyond DESCRIPTION:This talk will outline a theory of state-society relations in weak and strong states and connect it to two types of authoritarianism. It suggests that in countries where the state serves as the primary collective identity\, people tend to cooperate with state representatives and make it easy for the ruler to build efficient centralized state structures while failing to create institutions of accountability and prevent the abuse of power. In the countries where the primary collective identities are non-state ones\, people tend to resist state initiatives and only agree to short-term deals which creates a fruitful ground for clientelism and hinders building state capacity. At the same time\, these societies are better equipped to build institutions of accountability and prevent a large-scale abuse of state power. Examples of grassroots-level state and civil society organizations from four Russian regions (Kemerovo region\, Rostov region\, the Republic of Tatarstan\, and the Republic of Altai) will illustrate the different patterns of state-society relationships. The talk will also discuss several implications of the proposed theory for the study of political regimes. \n \nNatalia Forrat is a 2018-20 WCED postdoctoral fellow. She received her PhD from Northwestern University in 2017. Before coming to Michigan\, she was a predoctoral fellow at the Center for Democracy\, Development\, and the Rule of Law at Stanford University and a postdoctoral fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Her research has appeared in Post-Soviet Affairs and Comparative Politics along with a number of Russian-language venues. At Michigan\, Natalia Forrat will be working on her book manuscript on the relationship between state-society relationships and authoritarianism. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520824@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180823T142026 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181003T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181003T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Draft DESCRIPTION:African-Canadian artist Esmaa Mohamoud investigates the intangibility of Blackness through issues surrounding Black representation and Black body politics in contemporary spaces.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

Dialogues on Memory and Desire DESCRIPTION:Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement\, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse\, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination\; re-writing the canonical accounts of history\; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.\n\nAt a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees\, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists\, designers\, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art\, design\, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.\n\nArtists: Rudolf Baranik\, Stephanie Dinkins\, Emory Douglas\, Brendan Fernandes\, Chitra Ganesh\, Carole Harris\, Maren Hassinger\, Al Loving\, Josh MacPhee\, Native Art Department International\, Michele Oka Doner\, Yoko Ono\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed\, Martha Rosler\, Buster Simpson\, Gregory Sholette\, Leni Sinclair\, Stephanie Syjuco\, Graem Whyte\, and Zafos Xagoraris. \n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

Like Pompeii and Herculaneum in Europe\, buried in 79 A.D. by volcanic ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius\, the story of daily life in this ordinary Song marketplace was instantaneously preserved in the silt of the Yellow River for more than 800 years. Dr. Margaret Carney will discuss Cizhou ware ceramics discovered in the Song dynasty Julu marketplace\, offering a window into the food\, dining\, and daily life of the Northern Song. \n\nMargaret Carney is a ceramic historian with PhD and Master’s degrees in Asian art history\, and a BA in anthropology/archaeology.

Due to the high temperatures\, particles with sub-GeV masses can be copiously produced if they have non-negligible couplings to the Standard Model. If dark matter has sub-GeV mass it will be produced in the hot Supernovae core and it will have sufficiently large momenta to be detectable in direct detection experiments. In this talk I discuss the sensitivity of current and future Xenon based direct detection experiments to a simplified model of dark matter which interacts with the Standard Model via the dark photon portal.

In April 2018\, state repression of citizens protesting social security reforms unleashed a decade of accumulated grievances against the Ortega-Murillo government. Citizens from across all sectors of Nicaraguan society took to the streets to protest state violence and authoritarianism. In response\, the state has killed as many as five hundred people. Thousands of citizens have been injured\, hundreds have been illegally detained\, and tens of thousands have fled the country for Costa Rica or the United States. A new generation of Nicaraguan activists are leading this popular movement for justice. \n \nA new generation of Nicaraguan activists are leading this popular movement for justice.

Matt Andersen won the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge in Memphis\, and his soulful voice is matched in intensity by his brittle\, captivating acoustic guitar style. Matt does what we guarantee is the greatest version of \"Ain't No Sunshine\" since the days of Bill Withers. He's opened for Little Feat\, Bo Diddley\, Randy Bachman\, and David \"Honeyboy\" Edwards in between about 250 annual headliner dates of his own all over Canada\, the U.S.\, and the UK. Matt's unique blues sound incorporates elements of rock and other roots traditions\, and pickers of any instrument are sure to learn a thing or two on the way to a great time. Tonight\, for the first time at The Ark\, Matt plays a solo show.
