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.

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.

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 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.

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.

The Lammerding laboratory is combining cell and molecular biology approaches with tissue engineering and microfabrication techniques\, live-cell microscopy\, and in vivo models to investigate the interplay between nuclear structure\, mechanics\, and function. In particular\, the research is addressing how physical forces acting on the nucleus\, for example\, in contracting muscle cells or during migration of cells through tight interstitial spaces\, can challenge the integrity of the nucleus\, alter its structure\, and cause genomic and transcriptional changes. These processes play important roles in cellular mechanotransduction\, i.e.\, the ability of cells to convert mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals\, but can also contribute to various diseases when the nuclear structure is perturbed by mutations or altered protein expression. For example\, mutations in the nuclear envelope proteins lamin A/C are responsible for a broad spectrum of diseases (laminopathies)\, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) and dilated cardiomyopathy. The fact that most mutations result in highly tissue-specific disease phenotypes primarily affecting skeletal and cardiac muscles\, in spite of the near ubiquitous expression of lamins A/C\, suggest that lamin mutations may render cells more sensitive to mechanical stress\, which then causes progressive cell failure in mechanically stressed tissues. I will discuss our recent findings that highlight the importance of lamins A/C in mediating nuclear stability and mechanotransduction in mechanically stressed cells and tissues. At the same time\, increased nuclear deformability\, caused for example by reduced levels of lamins A/C\, can promote cell migration through tight spaces with cross-sections smaller than the nuclear diameter\, where the large size and rigidity of the nucleus can constitute a rate-limiting factor. I will present recent findings that demonstrate the importance of nuclear mechanics during cell migration in confined environments in vitro and in vivo\, as well as the functional consequences of cells having to squeeze their large nuclei through tight interstitial spaces and small pores in the extracellular matrix network\, with a particular focus on breast cancer.\n\nJan Lammerding\, Ph.D.\, is an Associate Professor in the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering and the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology & Director of Graduate Studies at Cornell University.

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:52176-12520825@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:20180925T121019 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181004T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181004T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:IBM Company Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Company Day for IBM - Global Business Services (GBS) on October 4th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector. \n\nIBM is looking for talented students seeking full time opportunities in consulting.

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.

How\nRichard C. Maclaurin Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics \nMassachusetts Institute of Technology\n\nThis talk will describe recent progress on planning\, learning\, and control of autonomous systems operating in dynamic environments\, with an emphasis on addressing the planning challenges faced on various timescales. For example\, autonomous robotic agents need to plan/execute safe paths and avoid imminent collisions given noisy sensory information (short timescale)\, interact with other dynamic agents whose intents are typically not known (medium timescale)\, and perform complex cooperative tasks given imperfect models and knowledge of the environment (long timescale). These planning tasks are often constrained to be done using onboard computation and perception\, which typically adds significant complexity to the system. The talk will highlight several recently developed solutions to these challenges that have been implemented to robustly plan paths and demonstrate high-speed agile flight of a quadrotor in unknown\, cluttered environments\; autonomous navigation of ground vehicles in complex indoor environments alongside non-communicating agents\; near-optimal resource-aware communication planning for distributed loop closure detection in collaborative simultaneous localization and mapping under budgeted communication\; and an augmented reality testbed for testing\, evaluation and verification of complex robotic systems using controlled indoor simulations of outdoor environments.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nJonathan P.

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.

Taylor DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor\, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, New York University\n\nABSTRACT\n\"Challenging Nanostructured Materials for Advanced Energy Devices\"\n\nOne of the key challenges facing the widespread use and commercialization of promising energy devices (i.e. fuel cells\, batteries\, organic solar cells etc.) is the high cost of the electrocatalytic and electrolyte materials and inefficiencies in their assembly and utilization. In this talk\, I will present three examples of how we are designing nanomaterials such as graphene-based carbons\, MXenes\, and bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloys that can be incorporated into new architectures for high performance nanostructured-enabled energy devices.\n \n1) Transparent Electronics. We have developed a fully automated Spin Spray Layer by Layer assembly system with sub-second deposition cycle times allowing nano-level control over film growth with a demonstration of transparent (invisible) battery electrodes. Techniques for developing freestanding multifunctional single-walled nanotube (SWNT) and MXene composite thin films for solar cell transparent conductive electrodes will also be described.\n\n2) Electrocatalysts. I will describe a new class of materials\, Pt58Cu15Ni5P22 bulk metallic glass that can circumvent Pt-based anode poisoning and agglomeration/dissolution typically associated with supported catalysts during long-term operation in fuel cells. By using subtractive (dealloying) and additive (galvanic replacement) techniques we can push these materials into new directions beyond their glass formability. These amorphous metal alloys can serve as an interesting platform for next-generation catalysts and devices such as the first all bulk metallic glass micro fuel cell.\n\n3) New Device Architectures. Our development of a mesoporous catalytic membrane for Li-O2 batteries recently led us to the recent development of vampire batteries that use heme molecules as a redox mediator. We will also describe our latest efforts on Förster resonance energy (FRET) based solar cells with a single junction power conversion efficiency >10% for a polymer based solar cell as well as Perovskite solar cell efforts.\n\nBIO\n\nProfessor André D. Taylor is an associate professor and leads the Transformative Materials and Devices Group in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department at New York University. He specializes in the synthesis and arrangement of nanomaterials in devices such as fuel cells\, lithium ion batteries\, and solar cells. \n\nHe received all three degrees in chemical engineering with a BS from the Missouri University of Science and Technology\, an MS from Georgia Institute of Technology\, and a PhD from the University of Michigan. While in graduate school Dr. Taylor was a Sloan Fellow\, NSF-Rackham Merit Fellow\, Eastman Kodak Fellow\, and GEM (MS and PhD) Fellow. \n\nHe worked as a research engineer for DuPont’s Engineering Polymers division and Intellectual Asset Management Group and was a research faculty scientist in the chemical engineering department at the University of Michigan. Dr. Taylor has developed CMOS compatible micro fuel cells (with integrated heaters and temperature sensors) and a method of patterning ITO substrates for both flat and non-planar surfaces for optoelectronic devices (Artificial Eye Project). \n\nDr. Taylor has given several invited lectures at the local\, national\, and international levels. He has several patents and archival publications related to his research. He is an NSF CAREER award recipient and a Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering (PECASE) recipient. In 2015\, Dr. Taylor was a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Visiting Associate Professor at MIT. See website above for publication links and recent press releases from his lab.

Biological functions are exquisitely timed for optimal functioning\; some processes occur at night and others during the day. The widespread adoption of electric lights during the past century exposed animals\, including humans\, to significant light at night for the first time in their evolutionary history. Endogenous circadian clocks depend on light to synchronize with the external day-night cycles. Thus\, light at night can derange temporal adaptations. Indeed\, disruption of naturally evolved responses to light-dark cycles results in several physiological and behavioral changes with potentially serious implications for fitness. The reasons for turning off your devices at night will be discussed.

Improving a production bottleneck propagates to upstream suppliers as a demand shock\, and to downstream customers as an input cost shock. I analyze the heterogeneous response of firms in these vertically linked markets using the elimination of firm–size restrictions products in India during the 2000s combined with a rich firm–level data set. On impact of the reform\, I find an increase in productivity\, primarily driven by reallocation of inputs to larger and more productive firms that were previously constrained by the size restrictions. Similarly\, more productive upstream and downstream firms expand output despite evidence of increasing markups. These results are consistent with models where demand elasticity decreases with firm performance\, and highlight the importance of accounting for markup variation when studying misallocation. Finally\, I find allocative efficiency gains within vertically linked markets that are attenuated in more concentrated markets\, where larger firms increase markups more than quantity. These results underline the moderating effects of imperfect competition within vertical linkages when correcting for distortions in one sector.\n\nVybhavi Balasundharam is a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Michigan with research interests in Development Economics and International Economics.

Rather\, indoors\, focus has primarily been given to emissions from building materials and effects of ventilation. However\, it is known that oxidative and partitioning processes occur on most indoor surfaces that affect the chemical exposure that we all experience. Indeed\, the concentrations of many chemical species are higher indoors than outdoors. This talk will present examples of indoor oxidative processes that arise via ozone\, which is introduced by intake of outdoor air\, and via cleaning agents\, such as chlorine bleach. Highly reactive surfaces indoors include human skin oils and cooking emissions\, and particular attention will be given to the ozonolysis products formed from Criegee intermediates. The nature of non-reactive partitioning in indoor species will also be examined. In particular\, new field measurements indicate that molecules that are normally viewed as being highly reactive\, such as nitrous acid\, are sorbed to indoor surfaces in significant amounts. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJonathan Abbatt (University of Toronto) UID:52146-12477549@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52146 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1706 Chem CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181009T083821 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181004T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181004T173000 SUMMARY:Well-being:FREE 4-Session Mindfulness Class DESCRIPTION:*Registration Closed.

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.

Is this because they prefer its legal system or are they simply following a trend? Using the incorporation histories of over 22\,000 public companies from 1930 to 2010\, I show that firms are more influenced by changes in each other's decisions than by changes in the law. The analysis exploits an unexpected legal shock that increased Delaware's long run share from 30 to 74 percent. I attribute most of this change to a cascading effect in which the decisions of past firms successively influence future cohorts. Delaware firms also enjoyed abnormal returns precisely during those years in which the Delaware network grew most. I conclude that network effects dominate secular trends in corporate governance.

In addition to creating iconic posters and postcards\, a key part of Douglas’ responsibilities in this role included art direction\, design\, and illustration for the organization’s newspaper\, The Black Panther. During his tenure\, Douglas created powerful images to depict the reality of racial injustice in America and to promote the party’s ideologies. His distinctive style established the “militant-chic” style decades before the aesthetic became popularized and sought to flip the cultural paradigm from one of African American victimhood to one of powerful outrage.\n\nDouglas’ work can be explored in full in the comprehensive monograph Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas (Rizzoli\, 2007). His work has also received retrospective exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the New Museum in New York. In his retirement\, Douglas continues to exhibit and make work on topics such as crime and the prison industrial complex. His work is included in the exhibition Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire\, on view at Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.) through November 18.  There will be a Q&A and post-talk reception at Stamps Gallery immediately following this event.\n\nPresented in partnership with the Stamps Gallery\, with support from Design Core Detroit.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this new research has been the recognition of two large-scale migrations in European prehistory. The first included the migration of Neolithic farmers into Europe from the Near East\, while the second involved the movement of nomadic pastoralists out of the Pontic-Caspian steppe at the close of the Neolithic and beginning of the early Bronze Age. Many archaeologists and paleogeneticists have gone so far as to suggest this massive movement of people from the steppe was the mechanism that spread Indo-European languages and established modern European genetic signatures. However\, these events remain imperfectly understood. For example\, to what extent did expanding Neolithic farmers interbreed with existing Mesolithic hunter-gatherers? How did Neolithic farmers who neighbored the steppe populations interact with this important group? Is there any evidence for intergroup conflict associated with these massive population movements? These questions have been the focus of our research at Verteba Cave\, Ukraine\, one of the only known mortuary sites associated with the farmers of the Late Neolithic that bordered the steppe. The skeletal and genetic data we have collected from Verteba Cave are beginning to shed additional light on these extremely consequential time periods in European population history. \n\nSponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America.

In order to answer those questions\, they need some ability to extract meaning from the data they generate. Data science has recently risen to prominence for its abilities not only to extract this meaning\, but also to turn that meaning into actionable\, data-driven predictions. Combining HPC and data science can allow a researcher to more easily ask questions and discover answers leading to even deeper questions. However\, despite these benefits\, it can be difficult for full-time researchers to learn an emerging field with no guidance while still producing research.To reduce this barrier\, the Scientific Computing Student Club (SC2) presents the HPC and Data Science Workshop Series. For eight weeks in the Fall semester\, we will meet once a week to discuss HPC and Data Science topics\, focusing on how elements of HPC and data science can reinforce research and discovery. There will be no one instructor for this workshop\; instead we will have guest speakers from SC2\, ARC-TS\, MICDE\, and even MathWorks (MATLAB). Attendance at all workshops is encouraged\, but not required. Pizza will be provided.

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:52176-12520826@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:20181005T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181005T170000 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.

A study in the US showed that the number of women entering engineering as a course of study is around 20%. Of these\, 40% do not continue professionally as engineers. Causes are manifold\, but a consequence is that most products and systems are designed by men\, even if the products are for the female population. The role of women in product development is limited to participation in market research and testing. The presentation will give examples of gender bias in products and highlight the importance of using the innovation potential of women in product development through some successful cases. The presentation will close with an analysis of causes and possible actions to develop and tap into this potential.\n \nLuciënne T.M.

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.

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.

He will propose the following questions: When we read a poem in translation\, whose voice do we hear? Do translators think other people’s thoughts? Is translation useful for an apprentice writer? He will stress the importance of praxis in generating theory\, and briefly discuss his own practice as a Chinese-Scots translator. Lastly\, he will explore the tools which make a poem sing in its new habitat. \n\nBrian Holton was born in Scotland and educated at Edinburgh and Durham. Holton taught classical and modern Chinese language and literature in the UK\, and Chinese-English translation in Hong Kong. He has translated a dozen books of poetry by Yang Lian and has appeared at major literary festivals in the UK\, Europe and the Far East.

The document carved out the land that was to be divided into no more than 5 and no fewer than 3 territories.\nOf equal importance were the terms\, two of which were firsts in legal history: no slavery was allowed and there was a provision for free public education. Michigan became a separate territory in 1805.\nThe War of 1812 began to mold the character of Michigan. The “Toledo War” brought the struggle to an end\, with Michigan giving up claims in Ohio and gaining most of the Upper Peninsula. The “Boy Governor”\, Stevens Mason\, fought for statehood which was achieved in 1837\, after the “Frostbitten Convention” held in Ann Arbor.\nThis Study Group for those 50 and over will be held on Friday 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. October 5.

Persistence. Principal. These are some of Haresh Bhungalia’s keys to the economics of life success. Add to that hustle and you get someone who was running paper routes at 4am before school when he was 12\, working fast food at 15\, buying discounted goods at wholesale prices and reselling them while in college and recently building companies that have had successful exits\, as well as investing\, growing\, and leading new ventures. Haresh built\, grew\, and sold a professional services company called 2020 Company\, LLC in 2012. Since then he has invested in technology\, social media\, ecommerce\, profes-sional services\, and real estate companies where he plays an active “hands on” advisory or board role. Aside from managing the investment portfolio\, his focus and passion is being CEO of Casepoint\, a legal technology company.\n\nHaresh’s “economics of success” extend well outside of the business world.

With aircraft performance improvements depending largely on the engines\, the cost of jet fuel driving airline operating cost\, and the consideration of new regulatory requirements\, engine manufacturers must innovate to realize step change improvements. Pratt & Whitney has created the game changing Geared Turbofan™ engine as a solution for our commercial customers\; and we power new capability to the military warfighter. This lecture will explore a look into a career designing and developing gas turbine jet engines.\n\nAn aerospace engineer must create solutions to problems that are multi-physics in nature while integrating across disciplines for an optimal design that operates safely and reliably over a wide range of conditions. The challenge now becomes the speed of developing and integrating new technologies into the product\, as well as cost effectiveness and reliability of technologies. An overview of the recent advances in propulsion system design will be presented\, with focus on the aerospace engineer’s role in development\, realization and deployment of gas turbine aero engine products for unprecedented performance\, operability\, and reliability.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nJennifer Duke is senior director of the Propulsion Systems Analysis organization at Pratt & Whitney\, a United Technologies Corp. (UTC) company and a world leader in the design\, manufacture and service of aircraft engines and auxiliary power units. In this new role since July 2018\, Jennifer provides strategic leadership of a multi-site engineering organization to architect\, design\, develop\, and support engine performance systems\, bringing value to the commercial and military business. She is responsible for engine functional metrics including mission fuel efficiency\, thrust assurance\, time on wing\, operability\, and environmental sustainment of noise and emissions.\n\nPreviously\, Jennifer was Sr. Director of the Aerodynamics and Thermal Fluids organization. In this role since 2013\, she provided both strategic and technical leadership for Pratt & Whitney Engineering’s Aerodynamics organization\, with oversight of turbines\, compressors\, combustors\, acoustics\, inlets\, nacelles & nozzles\, CFD methods\, internal air systems and heat transfer. \n\nDuke has been with Pratt & Whitney since 1992 and has held roles of increasing responsibility in the Performance Systems Analysis\, Turbine Aerodynamics\, and the Turbine Module Center organizations.

Specifically\, Gonzales will reflect on interviews conducted with almost 100 professors over the last eight years and describe how scholars whose scholarship might be viewed as “non-conventional” strive to position their work as acceptable\, or legitimate\, in the context of their disciplines and departments\, and how in turn\, disciplinary and departmental colleagues (e.g.\, mentors\, faculty\, peers) receive that work. After presenting these insights\, Gonzales will highlight strategies for “readying” individuals and organizations to be more supportive of scholarship that diverges from traditional norms and conventions\, and the implications of failing to do so.

As a consequence\, we are now beginning the third revolution in which digital processing is beginning to be embedded in devices and systems all around us. While this is enabling fascinating\npossibilities such as autonomous vehicles\, new approaches to healthcare and more efficient industrial infrastructure\, it also must address new and difficult technical challenges. Some of these challenges include radical improvement in wireless communication\, powering the trillions of embedded devices with Nano or Picowatts rather than Milliwatts\, and creating robust security for networked systems of embedded devices.\n\nMoreover\, these challenges can no longer depend on the exponential scaling of Moore’s Law that had been provided by the Dennard Scaling of CMOS. Alternative technologies from new semiconducting materials to new processor architectures in support of advanced algorithms are required and will be discussed in the seminar.\n\nBIO — Dr. Fuller is the Chief Technology Officer (CTO)\nEmeritus and Distinguished Scientist at Analog Devices\nInc.

Moreover\, people have strong and systematic intuitions about what makes something a good (or beautiful) explanation. Why are we so driven to explain? And what accounts for our explanatory preferences? In this talk I’ll present evidence that both children and adults prefer explanations that are simple and have broad scope\, consistent with many accounts of explanation from philosophy of science. The good news is that a preference for simple and broad explanations can sometimes improve learning and support effective inferences. The bad news is that under some conditions\, these preferences can systematically lead children and adults astray.

At the same time\, the lack of underlying geometric grid structure makes it more difficult to construct mesh-free methods mirroring the discrete vector calculus properties of mesh-based compatible and mimetic discretization methods. In this talk we survey ongoing efforts at Sandia National Laboratories to develop new classes of locally and globally compatible meshfree methods that attempt to recover some of the key properties of mimetic discretization methods.\n\nWe will present two examples of recently developed “mimetic”-like meshfree methods. The first one is motivated by classical staggered discretization methods. We use the local connectivity graph of a discretization particle to define locally compatible discrete operators. In particular\, the edge-to-vertex connectivity matrix of the local graph provides a topological gradient\, whereas a generalized moving least-squares (GMLS) reconstruction from the edge midpoints defines a divergence operator. The second method can be viewed as a meshfree analogue of a finite volume type scheme. In this method\, the metric information that would be normally provided by the mesh\, such as cell volumes and face areas\, is reconstructed algebraically\, without a mesh. This reconstruction process effectively creates virtual cells having virtual faces and ensures a local conservation property matching that of mesh-based finite volumes. In contrast to similar recent efforts our approach does not involve a solution of a global optimization problem to find the virtual cell volumes and faces areas. Instead\, we determine the necessary metric information by solving a graph Laplacian problem that can be effectively preconditioned by algebraic multigrid.\n\nSeveral numerical examples will illustrate the mimetic properties of the new meshfree schemes. The talk will also review some of the ongoing work to build a modern software toolkit for mesh-free and particle discretizations that leverages Sandia’s Trillinos library and performance tools such as Kokkos.\n\nPavel Bochev is a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque where he works in the Center for Computing Research.

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.

Anthropogenic environmental changes are already altering or predicted to alter the relative strength of N cycling processes and the balance between bioavailable N inputs and losses in oceans\, rivers\, and lakes. Understanding the response of phytoplankton communities to changes in bioavailable N will be important in order to also predict effects on higher trophic levels and whole ecosystems in the future. \n\nN isotope ratios (i.e. 15N/14N or δ15N values) in bulk organic matter and in specific biomarker compounds are valuable tracers of temporal or regional variations in the sources and forms of N used for phytoplankton growth. In this talk I will review our recent work to develop chlorophyll as an isotopic tracer for major phytoplankton groups that can be used to study the taxonomic response to changes in N cycling\, in both present and past environmental settings. In addition I will discuss how the δ15N distributions of amino acids and chlorophyll in phytoplankton provide insight into N assimilation and allocation at the intracellular level\, which may lead to a better understanding of the molecular and perhaps evolutionary basis of N metabolism in phytoplankton taxa.

This fascination led me to plasma physics (key component to understanding stars). As a result\, much of my scientific career has been rooted in understanding plasmas approaching stellar interior conditions. In particular\, transport properties of plasmas at or near the conditions that exists in stellar interiors. \n \nWith an introduction that explains my personal journey\, I will present experimental studies of transport properties of non-burning plasmas with kinetic conditions comparable to stellar interiors. While much of the emphasis is on understanding opacity and atomic bound states of matter under extreme conditions\, experiments on thermal conductivity and electron-ion equilibration will suggested as well.

The recent emergence of large\, publicly available genetic data sets places the answers to these questions closer within reach than ever before. New statistical methods are needed to take full advantage of these resources.\n\nIn this talk Dr. Terhorst will discuss some recent progress towards detecting signals of recent natural selection in genetic data from tens of thousands of individuals. On the computational side\, he will describe new memory- and compute-efficient inference algorithms that allow us to analyze thousands of genomes in parallel using GPUs. On the theoretical side\, he will describe a new test for neutrality based on combinatorial properties of Kingman’s coalescent. The test turns out to have interesting connections to a classic problem in theoretical statistics which has been studied by LeCam\, Moran\, Hall\, and other luminaries. Some of this work is joint with Dan Erdmann-Pham\, Kamm\, Pier Palamara\, Alkes Price and Yun Song.\n\nBio: Jonathan Terhorst joined the University of Michigan in the fall of 2017 as an assistant professor in the statistics department. Before that\, he was a PhD student in statistics at UC Berkeley under the supervision of Prof. Yun Song. He is broadly interested in applications of statistics and machine learning to problems in biology\, with a particular emphasis on statistical and population genetics.

These small 4-pass integral membrane proteins assemble into functional dimers with an unusual antiparallel architecture. The most well-studied example\, EmrE\, is a homodimeric member that provides resistance to a broad range of hydrophobic cationic aromatic compounds. This talk will cover recent work in the Stockbridge lab that has fundamentally altered our understanding of this family\, including functional characterization through flux measurements and solid-supported membrane (SSM) electrophysiology\, in vivo metabolic assays\, and phylogenetic analysis. We suggest an evolutionary trajectory for the development of new functions in these small proteins.\n\nand\n\nMaral Budak -The information transmission between neurons and brain regions occurs via synapses. Therefore\, disruption of synaptic signaling (e.g. synaptic failure or desynchronization of spikes) may have devastating outcomes\, such as loss of consciousness or neurodegenerative diseases. First\, our objective is understanding the effect of synaptic failure on functional connectivity of different network structures\, and we observed that synaptic failure does not always decrease the coherence of neuronal networks\, but sometimes promotes the formation of coherent states of activity in the networks. Next\, we aim to understand the mechanism of hidden hearing loss caused by myelinopathy. Recently\, it’s been hypothesized that disruption of myelination patterns at auditory nerves (AN) causes desynchronization of AN spiking activity. To test this hypothesis\, we constructed a reduced biophysical model for a population of inner hair cells with postsynaptic auditory nerve fibers. As a result\, our model confirms that heminodal disruption causes desynchronization of AN spikes leading to a loss of temporal resolution.

His music is poetry in motion\, using harmonics\, looping\, multiple capos\, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live concert experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing\, but seeing the fan-dubbed \"Acoustic Ninja\" play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers. Trace’s unique career has brought him across the world\, with concerts in 28 countries and counting - from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy\, to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala. He has independently sold over 125\,000 albums on his record label\, Honest Ninja Music. His video clips circulate virally at astonishing speed\, with over 40 million YouTube views to date. Jimmy Leslie at Guitar Player blogs “It was easy to see why Bundy plays bigger venues on each tour. In his hands\, the acoustic guitar is an imagination station\, and there was no telling where he is going take the audience at any given turn. Thrilling stuff.” Audiocast from Austin\, TX agrees: \"Bundy's live show is without a doubt an event that needs to be witnessed rather than told about. With such a jaw-dropping performance\, Bundy's live concert is a slap in the face that would leave a palm print on the memory of everyone in the audience.\"\n\nOne of the most sought-after young artists in the world today\, Sungha Jung began playing the guitar at the age of 10 and learned his exceptional guitar skills solely from watching other musicians on the Internet. Sungha Jung’s YouTube channel ‘jwcfree’ has garnered a phenomenal 1.5 billion views with over 5 million subscribers worldwide since its launch in 2006. Since the release of his debut album \"Perfect Blue{ in 2010\, the aspiring young musician has now had 8 solo albums out and tours all over the world every year as a professional fingerstyle guitar player.

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.

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:52176-12520827@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:20190227T163023 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181006T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181006T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Saturday Sampler Tour | Read and Look: \"G is for Gladiator\" DESCRIPTION:“A is for Archaeologist.
