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.

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.

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. How\, the Richard C. Maclaurin Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics\, was honored for contributions to guidance and control of air and space vehicles. He currently serves as the head of the Information sector within the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics\, is the Director of the Ford-MIT Alliance\, and was a member of the USAF Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) from 2014-2017. His research focuses on planning and learning under uncertainty\, and he was the control lead for the MIT DARPA Urban Challenge team. \n\nHe is the editor-in-chief of the IEEE Control Systems Magazine\, associate editor for the AIAA Journal of Aerospace Information Systems\, and associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems.

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.

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. This event is free and open to the public.\n\nLecture at Kelsey Museum 5:30 PM\, reception to follow.

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.

Participants will read and hear examples of different verse forms: songs. sonnets\, couplets\, alliterative verse\, blank verse\, free verse\, really free verse\, and poems in unusual meters and stanzas. We will study how poetry works as narrative\, as a vehicle for experience\, and as self-expression. \n\nInstructor James H. McIntosh is Professor Emeritus of English and American Culture at U-M. This study group for those 50 and over will meet Fridays\, 10-12\, from October 5 – November 16.

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. 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.

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. He has published a wide range of Chinese poetry and fiction in Scots and English.

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. He and his wife\, Alpa\, are actively involved in multiple charitable organizations focused on education and health care. In his spare time\, Haresh enjoys traveling with his wife and three kids or cycling the trails of Northern Virginia.

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. She also served as Performance Systems Chief for the Operational Commercial Engines group and the Executive Assistant to Pratt & Whitney’s Chief Operating Officer. \n\nShe sits on the industry advisory board for the University of Michigan Aerospace Engineering Department and the advisory board for the University of Connecticut Department of Mechanical Engineering. She is a member of the FAA Environment and Energy Research\, Engineering & Development advisory subcommittee and the United Way Women’s Leadership Council.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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:52176-12520828@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:20181007T120016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181007T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181007T150000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Game vs. Ohio University DESCRIPTION:Game vs. Ohio University @ Mitchell Field\, Ann Arbor\, MI UID:55073-13682677@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55073 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Mitchell Field CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181009T121521 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181007T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Night and Day DESCRIPTION:A dance/theatre work by Charles Mee\n\nDept. of Theatre & Drama\n\nDirected by Malcolm Tulip with Dominika Knapik \n\nIn collaboration with the Polish National Academy of Theatre Arts\, a work based on the Greek myths of Daphnis and Chloe\, and Thyestes.\n\n*The production contains violent material\, loud sound\, and flashing lights/video.

A sign for gender inclusive bathrooms in a Jewish Community Center. A Christmas tree adorned with rainbow-colored ornaments and a Star of David topper. These are three of the 21 photos-with-narratives that constitute “Hineinu – Here We Are: An LGBTQ+ Jewish Photovoice Exhibit.” Combined with rich\, thought-provoking text\, these photos give insight into the varied experiences of local community members who are both Jewish and queer.\n\n“Photovoice” is the process of putting cameras in the hands of traditionally “voiceless” or marginalized community members to allow them to record\, reflect on\, and share their community’s strengths and concerns. Photovoice participants have the opportunity to capture their current experiences through pictures\, with the goal of sparking dialogue and action related to the themes depicted in the photos.\n\nAs you view this Photovoice exhibit\, we hope that you will consider what it means to be inclusive and welcoming\, and that you will continue to develop an awareness of the diversity of other people’s experiences both within and outside of the Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities.

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.

While clearly important\, in this talk I zoom in on three major challenges in current theorizing and empirical evidence. The “Everything but the kitchen sink” problem refers to the tendency to categorize all emotional problems as originating from emotion dysregulation. The “good & bad” problem refers to the categorization of regulatory strategies as inherently adaptive or maladaptive. The “here & now” problem refers to concentration on a single regulatory stage that involves the actual execution or implementation of regulatory strategies. To address these challenges\, I begin by differentiating between emotional problems that originate from emotion generation and those that originate from emotion regulation. I then provide a categorization that highlights the cost-benefit profile of different regulatory strategies. The main part of the talk involves presenting a broad conceptual framework that views emotion regulation as a multi-stage phenomenon. Considerable empirical evidence highlights the importance\, determinants\, consequences and broad developmental and clinical implications\, of a pre-implementation selection stage that involves choosing between available regulatory options in a manner that is sensitive to differing situational demands. I end by highlighting the importance of transcending the selection stage\, by describing a post-implementation monitoring stage that involves tracking implemented regulatory strategies across time.\n\nBio: Gal is an associate professor of psychology\, the head of the clinical psychology graduate program\, and the director of the Emotion and Self-Regulation Laboratory in the School of Psychological Sciences in Tel Aviv University. He is interested in the broad interdisciplinary understanding of core regulatory stages that control emotion and their relation to healthy adaptation and psychopathology. Gal holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology (summa cum laude) from Ben-Gurion University in Israel. He then completed a two year postdoctoral training at the affective neuroscience program at Stanford University working with Dr. James Gross. \n\nGal has won the two most prestigious scholarships in Israel (i.e.\, Rothschild fellowship for postdoctoral fellows\; Allon fellowship for outstanding young researchers)\, he received multiple competitive grants (from ISF\, BSF\, National Institute of Psychobiology\, and NIMH)\, he published more than 40 articles in highly prestigious outlets (e.g.\, Annual Review of Clinical Psychology\, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General\; Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience\; Personality and Social Psychology Review\; Psychological Science)\, and he served as Associate Editor in the APA flagship journal Emotion. \n\nGal is a licensed clinical psychologist who works with young kids and adults with various emotional problems.\n\nGal will spend a one year sabbatical at the University of Michigan working on various projects with Dr. Ethan Kross\, and teaching graduate and undergraduate seminars in emotion regulation.

DESCRIPTION:This is not a public event\n\nJihadist terrorism is a pressing issue for policy–makers and social scientists. Using data from 50 million page views on a jihadist website\, we investigate what makes some jihadist writings more popular than others\, and whether killing and capturing jihadist thinkers is an effective policy tool for reducing the popularity of their ideas. We find that the identity of the author is the strongest predictor of baseline popularity among jihadist readers. When authors are killed\, the popularity of their documents temporarily increases\, but we find no long–term effect. Fears that counterterrorism efforts will inadvertently repopularize jihadists' ideas are overblown\, but counterterrorism efforts do not appear to make jihadists' ideas less popular either.\n\nRichard Nielsen is an Associate Professor of Political Science at MIT. He completed his PhD (Government) and AM (Statistics) at Harvard University\, and holds a BA from Brigham Young University. His forthcoming book\, Deadly Clerics (Cambridge University Press)\, uses statistical text analysis and fieldwork in Cairo mosques to understand the radicalization of jihadi clerics in the Arab world.

We test these theoretical predictions in a field experiment on a large online platform where users post content that is evaluated by other users on the platform. We assign posts to accounts that exogenously vary by gender and evaluation histories. With no prior evaluations\, women face significant discrimination. However\, following a sequence of positive evaluations\, the direction of discrimination reverses: women’s posts are favored over men’s. Interpreting these results through the lens of our model\, this dynamic reversal implies discrimination driven by biased beliefs.

How Islam Was Studied: From Dynasties and Civilization to Anthropology\, Gender\, and the Internet DESCRIPTION:-- \nThe 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:\nAfter defining the five major components of religion (discourses/teachings\, practices\, communities institutions\, and leaders)\, Professor Knysh will examine the applicability and suitability of this analytic rubrication for the academic study of Islam. He will then address various past and present conceptualizations of Islam and the principal methodological frameworks used by Western scholars and scholars of Muslim background trained in the West to represent Islam and Muslims to various audiences. Professor Knysh emphasizes the critical importance of who\, when and where interprets and articulates the malleable and multi-faceted abstract/construct called “Islam.” He also addresses the impact of new information technologies and cyberspace on the meta-discourses about Islam\, while revisiting the abiding relevance of Marxian and Weberian theories of religion generally and Islam in particular. \n\nSpeaker Bio:\nAlexander Knysh is Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Michigan and Principal Investigator of a research project on political Islam/Islamism sponsored by the Rectorate of the St. Petersburg State University\, Russia. His academic interests include Islamic mysticism (Sufism)\, Qur’anic studies\, the history of Muslim theological\, philosophical and juridical thought\, and modern Islamic/Islamist movements in comparative perspective. He has numerous academic and instructional publications on these subjects\, including twelve books. Since 2006\, he has served as section editor for “Sufism” on the Editorial Board of the Encyclopedia of Islam\, Third Edition (E.J. Brill\, Leiden and Boston). He is also Executive Editor of the Encyclopedia of Islamic Mysticism and the Handbooks of Islamic Mysticism book series associated with it (E.J. Brill\, Leiden and Boston). Professor Knysh serves on the editorial boards of the following academic journals: Al-Abhath (Beirut)\, Vestnik Sankt Peterburgskogo Universiteta (Saint Petersburg)\, Al-Farabi (Almaty)\, Islamovedenie (Makhachkala\, Russian Federation)\, Islam v sovremennom mire (Moscow)\, and Journal of Sufi Studies (Leiden and Boston).\n\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.

Developing a theoretical foundation for predictive materials synthesis requires a more quantitative understanding of metastable phases\, which often appear as kinetic byproducts during materials formation. By mapping the thermodynamic scale of crystalline metastability\, and calculating relative nucleation rates between competing polymorphs\, we can construct synthesis maps to navigate through the thermodynamic and kinetic energy landscape towards desired material phases. I will showcase several applications of this ab initio framework to predict non-equilibrium crystallization pathways of carbonate minerals and functional manganese oxides in hydrothermal synthesis\, and conclude with thermodynamic strategies for the discovery and synthesis of novel thin-film nitride semiconductors. Mastering metastability will deepen our fundamental understanding of nucleation and crystal growth\, and can expand the search space for functional technological materials beyond equilibrium phases and compositions.

We point out for the first time that this naturally and\, as far as we know\, uniquely accounts for its low mass and its alignment. It further implies the existence of additional Higgs bosons in the vicinity of 200 - 500 GeV.

It is only since the middle to late 1980s that it was found to play a central role in a much broader biology context. For example\, it is now well established that NO acts as a signaling agent in higher organisms. Yet NO is toxic and reactive under biological conditions. How is the biology carried out by NO controlled? How is NO used and the inherent toxicity avoided? How do organisms tell the difference between NO and O2? What is the biological output? A molecular perspective on ligand discrimination in hemoproteins has emerged as has a further understanding and predictions about selective ligand sensing and function in biology. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMichael Marletta (University of Berkeley) UID:50775-11864796@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50775 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180730T132322 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181008T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181008T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Panel: Electoral Reform via Ballot Initiatives DESCRIPTION:The panel will look at two initiatives that may be on the November 2018 ballot: the Voters Not Politicians initiative to reform redistricting\, and the Promote the Vote initiative to expand voting and registration opportunities. \n\nThe goal of the event is to inform the audience of pros and cons of the two ballot initiatives\, while at the same time fostering \"civil civic discourse\" on these policy issues from a variety of perspectives. \nPanelists:\n -John Chamberlin\, Professor Emeritus of Public Policy will serve as Moderator\n -Nancy Wang (Voters Not Politicians) will discuss the ballot initiative on gerrymandering/redistricting\n -Sharon Dolente (Promote the Vote) will discuss the ballot initiative on expanding voting and registration opportunities\n -Christopher Thomas (former Director of Elections for the State) will react to/comment on the two reform proposals\n -Richard McLellan (Election Law Attorney) will discuss why the VNP proposal would not be good policy for the State.\n\nThis event is open to the public.\n\nSponsored by: The Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\nCo-sponsors: WeListen\, Domestic Policy Corps (DPC)\, Department of Political Science\n\nFor more information contact closup@umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

Alternative Facts and States of Fear: Reality in the Age of Climate Fictions DESCRIPTION:This talk is concerned with the nature of reality in an age of “alternative facts.” It is a case study situated in the realm of mass market fiction that seeks to examine how postmodern techniques so often associated with STS have been deployed to undermine claims to scientific authority. Specifically\, I look to the work of Harvard MD-turned-author\, Michael Crichton\, and his 2004 novel\, State of Fear. What can Crichton’s particular form of cultural production teach us not only about specific scientific controversies\, but an era now referred to as post-truth and an American president whose dominant political motives are a tangle of profit-making and fear-mongering? My approach does not attempt to purify fact from fiction or provide clarity amidst what Guy Debord called the “society of the spectacle\,” in which representation is preferable to reality\, truth is considered profane\, and only illusion is sacred. Rather\, I will discuss practices and techniques that have contributed to a reinvention of reality and argue that a rigorously feminist STS provides invaluable resources for navigating the present.\n\nBiosketch: Joanna Radin is associate professor of History of Medicine at Yale where she is also affiliated with the Departments of History and of Anthropology as well as the programs in American Studies\; Ethnicity\, Race & Migration\; and Religion & Modernity.

At U-M\, the free screening will take place in the Forum Hall (Palmer Commons). \n\nFilm Description: \nFrom 2016 – 2017 Standing Rock water protection camps located at the heart of Turtle Island became the largest assembly of Indigenous peoples in recent history. Gathered nations confronted big energy’s extreme extraction through the strength of their ceremonies\, histories\, and connections. Despite being met with violence\, many who brought their best intentions to this historic fight continue to expand their love and sovereignty - while they shift our world away from the trauma and isolation of modern days. \n\nThe film is based around prophecy of the Eagle and Condor that originates with nations from the South and features ceremony held at the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) site on Indigenous People’s Day\, October 10th\, 2016. The ancient prophecy predicted the epic Standing Rock water protection actions – and continues to challenge all to identify and unite our gifts and power.

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.

A sign for gender inclusive bathrooms in a Jewish Community Center. A Christmas tree adorned with rainbow-colored ornaments and a Star of David topper. These are three of the 21 photos-with-narratives that constitute “Hineinu – Here We Are: An LGBTQ+ Jewish Photovoice Exhibit.” Combined with rich\, thought-provoking text\, these photos give insight into the varied experiences of local community members who are both Jewish and queer.\n\n“Photovoice” is the process of putting cameras in the hands of traditionally “voiceless” or marginalized community members to allow them to record\, reflect on\, and share their community’s strengths and concerns. Photovoice participants have the opportunity to capture their current experiences through pictures\, with the goal of sparking dialogue and action related to the themes depicted in the photos.\n\nAs you view this Photovoice exhibit\, we hope that you will consider what it means to be inclusive and welcoming\, and that you will continue to develop an awareness of the diversity of other people’s experiences both within and outside of the Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities.

Michael Nashef\, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon\, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches.

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:52176-12520830@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:20181009T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181009T170000 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.

Please contact Petra Kuppers at petra@umich.edu if you are interested/want to nominate someone!\n\n\nAnnika Pattenaude\nAbout me:\nI am 4th year PhD in L&L. I'm a California native\, and I love to swim. I study medieval literature\, and my dissertation examines (or will examine) the intersection of aesthetics and affect in late medieval poetry. \n\nAbout my project:\nThis summer\, under the mentorship of Hadji Bakara\, I designed a literature course on human rights in the premodern world. To conduct this project\, I compiled a bibliography of sources about rights in the classical\, medieval\, and early modern periods\, and then organized select texts by theme: e.g.\, \"Destabilizing the Human\" and \"Refugees\, Exiles\, and Aliens.\" Overall\, a main goal of this course is to map a long history of human rights in order to discover how people made claims to or were restricted from rights in the premodern world.\n\nElinam Agbo\nAbout me:\nI am a second year MFA candidate (fiction) in the Helen Zell Writers' Program. I was born in Ghana and moved to the U.S. when I was ten. I grew up in Kansas\, and I love Chicago (where I went to college). \n\nAbout my project:\nThis summer\, I wrote the first draft of a Young Adult novel\, exploring black girlhood with a focus on my protagonist's relationship with her mother and her hair. The story was set in a surreal world where bureaucracy meets fairy tale characters\, a world adjacent to ours but not quite ours. I shifted between two perspectives\, one in prose and the other in verse\, and I worked with my faculty mentor\, Laura Kasischke\, who is well versed in fiction and poetry. \n\n\nAkosua Afiriyie-Hwedie (presentation via hand-out)\nAbout me:\nI'm a 2nd year MFA in poetry. I’m Zambian-Ghanaian and was raised in Botswana. My work is a journey in navigating home as a multitude of places and as more than just a physical space. Home can be many things\, a mother\, a language\, a word etc.\n\nAbout my project:\nMy mentor for the summer was Professor Ruth Behar (a cultural anthropologist who specializes in concepts of home\, diaspora\, displacement\, immigration\, travel\, ethnographic research and methods specific to native anthropological research). With the help of Professor Behar and the Diversity Committee grant\, I visited historic sites and interviewed people in both Ghana and Botswana. Thereafter\, I produced a collection of poems which expound upon meanings of home (as physical space and beyond)\, particular to people indigenous to those spaces. \n\nDavid Wade\nAbout me:\nI am a second-year MFA candidate in Fiction from the small rustbelt city of Washington\, PA. My interests include hip hop\, theology\, mixed martial arts\, and speculative fiction. My thesis is a collection of short stories about my hometown and the people who’ve never left.\n\n About my project:\n This summer\, under the mentorship if Van Jordan\, I worked on a poetry collection that examined the idea of “the wake” a as perpetual state of melancholy and subjugation unique to the African-American and global black experience found in Christina Sharpe’s monograph\, In the Wake\, among similar claims by other poets and scholars. The project seeks to challenge the narrative that the black experience is evenly transmuted across generation in perpetuity with no foreseeable expiration date.\n\n\nRackham Diversity Allies Program Spring/Summer Mentorship Grants\nThe Spring/Summer Mentorship Grants are for second\, third\, and fourth-year PhD L&L\, JPEE\, and E&WS students and first-year MFA students\, and applications are due late in the Winter Semester.

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.

She answered the call to social justice as a teenager at Tuskegee Institute where she joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and worked on voter registration in Lowndes County\, Alabama. Sales has made the struggle for racial justice one of the centerpieces of her work through the SpiritHouse Project. Recognizing a need to nurture the hope that still resides in young people as well as to revive an intergenerational community and human compassion\, in 2016 the SpiritHouse Project introduced Hope Zones.™ They are alternative learning spaces designed to strengthen the hope\, courage\, reason\, and will of young people to individually and collectively stand up for themselves with dignity\, clarity and nonviolent persistence. According to the Harvard Gazette\, Ruby spoke about the fight for racial equality in the U.S. and shared\, “Even in the face of challenges\, there are reasons for hope. Freedom must be seen as a constant struggle. We don’t have to give in to despair.” UID:56083-13830280@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56083 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Architecture,Art,Community Service,Dinner,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Diversity Summit,Engineering,Festival,Food,Free,Graduate,Graduate School,International,Leadership,Lecture,Multicultural,North campus,Outdoors,Picnic,Politics,Social Impact,Social Justice,Student Org,Voting,Workshop LOCATION:The Grove - THE GROVE–DUDERSTADT CENTER AND TAUBMAN COLLEGE COMMONS CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180821T102808 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181009T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181009T125000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Labor Economics DESCRIPTION:Details to come.

Valenstein Lecture - Biopsychology Colloquium DESCRIPTION:Title: We live in different taste worlds: Supertasters and common pathologies\n\nI grew up in a small prairie town in South Dakota in an era when women in science were a curiosity. Maybe this had something to do with my early interest in differences in how we perceive the world. In taste\, there are genetic differences as well as common pathologies that affect the intensities of taste sensations. Individuals we called “supertasters” experience taste sensations that are more than twice as intense as the taste experiences of others. Supertasting affects dietary choices that affect health. Common pathologies (middle ear infections\, tonsillectomies) can damage taste. Taste damage can produce some unexpected effects since there are inhibitory connections among the central projections of both taste nerves and nerves mediating other oral sensations (touch\, pain\, retronasal olfaction). Thus damage to taste can actually intensify some oral sensations when inhibitory connections are abolished. Damage to taste can also produce phantoms: sensations in the absence of obvious stimulation. Most recently my lab is collaborating with horticultural scientists to identify volatiles that can affect taste messages centrally. These volatiles have practical benefits (e.g.\, enhancing sweet and salty tastes) as well as clinical benefits. We can use some volatiles to bypass peripheral taste damage and restore some normal taste sensations to patients.

In this talk\, Professor Hutton reverses that direction of comparison and use Chinese ideas—and in particular early Confucian views—as a lens to re-examine Greek philosophy\, starting with Plato. Through this method\, he aims to show how Confucian perspectives can unearth new interpretive insights about Western philosophical texts\, and how this process can also aid us in thinking more deeply about the Confucian views themselves. \n \nEric L. Hutton is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City\, where he has been teaching since 2002. His research focuses on early Confucianism and comparative studies of ancient Greek and Chinese philosophy\, especially on the topic of ethics. His major publications include a translation\, \"Xunzi: The Complete Text\" (Princeton University Press\, 2014)\, and an edited volume\, the \"Dao Companion to the Philosophy of Xunzi\" (Springer\, 2016). He is also co-editor (with Justin Tiwald) of the new translation series \"Oxford Chinese Thought.\"\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.

Among the supplies demanded of the villages and common households that owed them goods and services\, the monks ordered more than 8\,000 pounds of cheese\, an astonishing request given the constraints of energy and labor in a preindustrial\, organic economy. Following the production of this cheese—from small dairy farms to its consumption at elite tables—reveals how early medieval people organized land and limited resources to produce large quantities of food. This talk demarginalizes the peasants and animals whose exploitation sustained aristocratic appetites and puts them at the center of an intricate and precarious food network. In short\, it examines how something as simple as eating cheese was an act that nourished a vast and complex empire.

Currently\, she is an assistant professor of history at Baylor University. Her first book\, Gender\, Separatist Politics and Embodied Nationalism in Cameroon is forthcoming with University of Michigan Press in 2019. Using oral interviews and archival records\, such as Cameroon’s first cooking book and women’s advice columns\, the book examines issues related to cookery\, gossiping\, sagacious female politicians\, “sluggish” women who fail to attend the meetings of women’s organizations\, and unruly housewives known as “women extremists\,” to illuminate how issues of ideal womanhood shaped the Anglophone Cameroonian nationalist movement in the first decade of independence. The book uses the concept of embodied nationalism to illustrate how political elites and formally educated urbanites implied that women’s everyday patterns of behavior and comportment—the clothes that women wore\, the foods they cooked\, their abstention from gossip\, and their adherence to appropriate marital behavior in public spaces—might make a suitable Anglophone Cameroonian persona physically conspicuous on the local\, national\, and international stage. By drawing upon history\, political science\, gender studies\, and feminist epistemologies\, Mougoué demonstrates how preserving conservative ideal Anglophone womanhood\, cultural values\, and political identity came to be seen as the lynchpin of Anglophone unity in English-speaking towns in Cameroon during the 1960s and early 1970s. Mougoué is currently finalizing research on her second book on the history of the Bahá’í Faith and masculine identities in English-Speaking Cameroon from the 1950s to the 1980s.\n\nMougoué’s scholarly articles have appeared in Gender & History\, Journal of West African History\, and Feminist Africa. She has forthcoming articles in Meridians: Feminism\, Race\, Transnationalism and African Studies Review. In addition\, she has a forthcoming chapter on gender\, leisure\, and sports in Cameroon in Everyday Life on the African Continent: Fun\, Leisure\, and Expressivity (Ohio University Press). Mougoué is also a guest editor for a forthcoming topical forum\, or “issue\,” in African Studies Review (“Bodily Practices and Aesthetic Rituals in 20th Century Africa”). Her research has also appeared in academic blogs including African Studies Association News and Africa is a Country.\n\nMougoué has been a visiting scholar at the University of Buea (Cameroon) and a fellow at Northwestern University (United States). Currently\, Mougoué is Co-Convenor of African Studies Association (ASA) Women’s Caucus\, Advisory Member of ASA North American Scholars on Cameroon Association\, Conference Liaison for Coordinating Council for Women in History (CCWH) and a member of the CCWH Mentorship Program Committee. Please click here for a CCWH brochure.\n\nMougoué has been invited to share her research at various academic institutions including Yale University (United States)\, Northwestern University (United States)\, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University (Morocco)\, University of Leuven (Belgium)\, and Paris Diderot University (France). See the following for additional information on upcoming/past plenary talks.\n\nMougoué received her M.A. and Ph.D. in history from Purdue University. She holds an additional degree from Purdue\, a Graduate Certificate in Women’s\, Gender\, & Sexuality Studies (WGSS) from the WGSS Program. Mougoué’s hobbies include long-distance running (her favorite runs were on Mount Cameroon and in Hawaii\, the big island)\, traveling\, photography\, painting\, and writing poetry and short stories.

Author portraits migrated from the interior frontispiece to the rear flaps and back covers of dust jackets. At this same time--when Jim Crow segregation reached its repressive heights--African American novels\, poetry\, drama\, and prose non-fiction became prize-winning and best-selling books in the mainstream marketplace. Though they may strike us now as staid\, kitsch\, or even banal photographs\, African American author portraits from the 1940s and 1950s bristle with a fusion of visual grammars: racial uplift image-making meets the Hollywood glam shot and noir chiaroscuro. My talk explores the paradoxes this image-archive presents. How should we understand the violent restriction of Black bodies in social space\, on the one hand\, compared to the widespread circulation of African American writers’ exuberant\, boldly styled books\, on the other? What cultural work did dust jackets\, author portraits\, and their design perform for mid-century Black writing--to what ends\, with what consequences\, for what reading publics? \n\nDrawing on history of the book studies\, cultural histories of post-WWII photography\, theories of authorship\, celebrity\, and performance\, and my own on-going efforts to archive first edition dust jackets\, I argue that the paratextual placement of author portraits require us to reconceive African American literature’s aesthetic imperatives and social contract at mid-century. Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man (1952) and Gwendolyn Brooks' Annie Allen (1949) serve as my exemplars\, because those works’ famous aesthetic difficulties\, together with Ellison's and Brooks' portraits on the books’ dust jackets\, set forth the signal development that distinguishes mid-century African American authorship: namely\, the turn away from writing as indexical of Black personhood to the practice of writing as expressive of Black pluralities\, or personae. Put another way\, by foregrounding alterity rather than authenticity as the threshold where readers meet and interpret Black literature as works of art\, the dust jacket portraits of Ellison and Brooks enact a cultural politics of their own. Not only do they archive the vitality and variety of Black writing at mid-century. Their fragility and mere survival as material artifacts remind us how precarious the history of Black writing and its writers can be.\n\n\nJacqueline Goldsby is Professor of English\, African American Studies\, and American Studies at Yale University. She currently chairs Yale’s Department of African American Studies. \n\nShe is the author of the prizewinning A Spectacular Secret: Lynching in American Life and Literature (University of Chicago Press\, 2006) and other articles about African American literature and book history during the long century of Jim Crow segregation\, from 1865-1965. In 2015\, she edited the Norton Critical Edition of James Weldon Johnson’s 1912 novel\, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. And she’s currently at work finishing The Art of Being Difficult: African American Literary Culture of the 1940s and 1950s.\n\nThe research required to launch The Art of Being Difficult led Goldsby to co-design and direct \"Mapping the Stacks: A Guide to Black Chicago's Hidden Archives.\" She managed that project from 2005-10\, while she taught at the University of Chicago. “Mapping the Stacks” helped transform the practice of archival recovery and description in Chicago and across the U.S\, as the project became the model for the Council on Library and Information Resources’ $27.5 million grant program\, “Cataloguing Hidden Collections and Archives” (2008-14). Her work in library-archival recovery and knowledge-organization continues: she’s co-directing the Black Bibliography Project with Meredith McGill of Rutgers. Goldsby and McGill are forging national partnerships with librarians\, curators\, cataloguers and history of the book scholars\, to revive (and transform) descriptive bibliography for Black print culture materials.

We address the dynamic challenge by developing new methods based on the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics that are uniquely suited to the simulation of photo-initiated excited state dynamics in the condensed phase. We then tackle the characterization of the excited state manifold in molecular systems using a combination of high-level electronic structure methods to accurately calculate excited state energies\, normal mode analysis to quantify vibronic couplings\, and novel orbital analyses to uncover structure-spectrum correlations.\nIn this talk\, we focus on one target application: designing chromophores that exhibit ultrafast Singlet Fission (SF)\, a phenomenon that has the potential to significantly increase organic solar cell efficiency. We investigate SF in non-bonded and covalently bonded pentacene dimers: we uncover two distinct mechanistic pathways for ultrafast SF and we identify molecular geometries and bonding motifs that can be modified to enhance efficiency in each case. Finally\, we combine the insights obtained from our theoretical investigations to generate a priori design principles for next-generation SF chromophores\, and working with experimental collaborators\, we verify them.\n\nNandini Ananth is an associate professor in the department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University.

This lecture tries to show that one of the major differences between Jewish thought in Israel and the North American diaspora is to be found in the opposing ways in which each understands national and ethnic individuality in connection with the idea of a universal humanity. \n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

My research group studies the structural differences between members of large metalloenzyme superfamilies that share common characteristics but trigger different reactions or use distinct cofactors. We have initially focused on systems unified in their ability to activate strong C-H\, N-H\, or O-H bonds. Key objectives include identification of the outcome-dictating structural features of a given catalyst and structure-guided reprogramming for new function. To achieve these ends\, we determine stable reactant and product complexes\, with an increasing focus on development and implementation of crystallographic approaches to study metalloenzyme reaction intermediates. These experiments are challenging due to the fleeting and reactive nature of these states but uniquely informative because of the fully contextualized view they provide at critical points in the catalytic cycle. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAmie Boal (The Pennsylvania State University) UID:53784-13461541@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53784 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180919T105703 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181009T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181009T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Crisis at the Border: Shifting Policy in a Country of Immigrants” DESCRIPTION:From zero tolerance and separation of families to harsh rhetoric likening some immigrants to “animals\,” America’s current approach to immigration has sent shock waves through both sides of the Rio Grande.

Under the watchful eye of Chun Doo Hwan’s military dictatorship\, the group clandestinely performed and recorded “March for the Beloved” (Im ŭl wihan haengjingok)\, a song to honor the “soul marriage” of late activists Pak Kisun and Yun Sangwǒn. Born in a city that had yet to recover from a brutal massacre of civilians staged by the military state in May of 1980\, the song moved vastly beyond its original intent of commemorating those massacred and consoling the bereaved. Over the decades to follow\, the song would emerge as the most powerful and widely sung anthem for counter-state movements\, often finding itself at the center of much controversy over how to remember the tumultuous 1980s. This paper examines the bizarre twists and turns the song has undergone since its original inception\, as occasions for thinking about the culture of protest and the politics of memory that shape the legacies of democratization in South Korea. \n \nSusan Hwang is Assistant Professor of Contemporary Korean Literature and Cultural Studies in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Indiana University.

The origin story of the hauntingly beautiful duo The Western Den is wonderfully curious in just this way: Deni Hlavinka\, an introspective pianist from small-town Virginia\, posted a song idea on a college forum for accepted students. Chris West\, a bright-eyed guitarist from Bermuda\, sent back the song the following day in finished form. Upon meeting in person\, they discovered their musical—and personal—bond was eerily close\; there was never a discussion of forming a band\, never a conscious choice\, it just happened\, fueled by a sheer desire\, a necessity to pursue what felt right.

By studying the largest-to-date ensembles of geometries for string compactifications\, we find several striking generic features: large hidden gauge sectors\, regions of strong coupling\, and large numbers of light axions. Understanding these ensembles\, and the landscape as whole\, requires a new set of tools\, both formal and computational\, including new mathematics and tools from data science\, the development of which I will discuss.

A sign for gender inclusive bathrooms in a Jewish Community Center. A Christmas tree adorned with rainbow-colored ornaments and a Star of David topper. These are three of the 21 photos-with-narratives that constitute “Hineinu – Here We Are: An LGBTQ+ Jewish Photovoice Exhibit.” Combined with rich\, thought-provoking text\, these photos give insight into the varied experiences of local community members who are both Jewish and queer.\n\n“Photovoice” is the process of putting cameras in the hands of traditionally “voiceless” or marginalized community members to allow them to record\, reflect on\, and share their community’s strengths and concerns. Photovoice participants have the opportunity to capture their current experiences through pictures\, with the goal of sparking dialogue and action related to the themes depicted in the photos.\n\nAs you view this Photovoice exhibit\, we hope that you will consider what it means to be inclusive and welcoming\, and that you will continue to develop an awareness of the diversity of other people’s experiences both within and outside of the Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities.

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:52176-12520831@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:20180926T095233 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181010T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181010T120000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Telling the story of diversity at ITS DESCRIPTION:Multiple locations available.

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.

Invisible Europe DESCRIPTION:Essayist and fiction writer Dubravka Ugrešić will take a light tone while talking about the \"invisible people\" of Europe: the migrations that nobody takes into account when talking about the contemporary “migration crisis” and the people with proper papers migrating within the European Union. In another words\, Ugrešić will try to explain what Bulgarians\, for instance\, are doing in the Netherlands and what the Dutch are doing in Bulgaria. \n\nDubravka Ugrešić is one of Europe’s most distinctive novelists and essayists. From her early postmodernist excursions\, to her elegiac reckonings in fiction and essay with the disintegration of her Yugoslav homeland and the fall of the Berlin Wall\, to her more recent writings on popular and literary culture\, Ugrešić’s work is marked by a combination of irony\, polemic\, and compassion. Following degrees in Comparative and Russian Literature\, Ugrešić worked for many years at the University of Zagreb’s Institute for Theory of Literature. When war broke out in Yugoslavia in 1991\, Ugrešić took a firm anti-war stance\, critically dissecting retrograde Croatian and Serbian nationalism. Subjected to prolonged media harassment\, she left Croatia in 1993. Her books have been translated into over twenty languages. She is the winner of several major literary prizes\, including the Austrian State Prize for European Literature 1998\; the Jean Améry Essay Prize for her essayistic work as a whole\, 2012\; and the Vilenica Prize and Neustadt International Prize for Literature\, 2016. \n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

This means that the urban-rural divide has required greater attention. In the midst of political\, economic\, and legal modernization\, how can the deep philosophical outlook\, moral and cultural system\, and artistic spirit of China’s long-lasting rural cultural model continue to draw its worldviews and values from tradition? This is a problem not only for those who work in the realm of ideas but also has become a keen focus of attention for dance artists around the globe to explore through new dance creation. This talk will explore the work of several young contemporary dance choreographers based in Beijing who are currently attracting significant attention in China. Specifically\, it will investigate the different ways these young choreographers are engaging with tradition in their work.\n\nMao Cui is Associate Professor of Dance Studies in the Humanities Institute at the Beijing Dance Academy. She holds a PhD in Dance Studies and is a member of the China Dancers Association\, and she has been the recipient of several prestigious national and Beijing-level awards for her research and teaching. In 2016\, she received China’s most competitive national-level social science research grant for her project titled “Twentieth-century American Modern Dance’s Borrowings from Eastern Culture and Their Relationship to its Transformations.” UID:54437-13583313@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54437 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chinese Studies,International,Lecture LOCATION:Michigan League - Henderson Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180927T153546 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181010T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181010T150000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Law Day DESCRIPTION:Meet with admission representatives from over 100 law schools.

Despite this progress\, there is more to be done\, and we find ourselves facing a growing sense of absolutism in the scholarly communications and open communities. This is seen in rhetoric on list-servs\, social media\, and in the disciplinary literature that would have us believe there is only one correct way to successfully provide scholarly communications services\, programs\, and advocacy.\n\nThis precarious assumption ignores important diversity in models\, types of institutions\, and local needs. Moreover\, it can result in a barrier to entry for those not already deeply embedded in the OA movement\, particularly when dialogue turns to blaming\, arguing\, and\, at times\, name-calling. What’s next for the open access movement? Where do we go from here? This talk will challenge some of the assumptions in the OA community\, while looking back on lessons learned\, focusing on meeting researcher needs and developing mission-driven initiatives in order to meaningfully integrate open access and OER into positions across the library. Using examples of successful and unsuccessful initiatives\, we’ll discuss shifting the conversation to a more adaptable\, user-focused approach that authentically meets the needs of our community.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nSarah Beaubien has an MLS from Indiana University and has worked in academic libraries for 18 years. She is the Associate Dean of Curriculum\, Research\, and User Services at the Grand Valley State University Libraries. Prior to that\, she held positions as Head of Collections & Scholarly Communications\, Scholarly Communications Outreach Coordinator\, Liaison Librarian\, and Instruction Librarian. In addition to open access and OER\, her professional interests include strength-based leadership\, change management\, and user-centered approaches to library services and spaces. Through the evolution of her career path\, she’s come to believe that open access is everyone’s responsibility\, and that it can become part of our work in meaningful\, sustainable ways.

This talk will cover two topics: (1) the use of advanced surfaces to reduce plasma-material interactions and (2) the plasma functionalization of metamaterials and photonic crystals. \nThe Plasma Interactions (Pi) facility at UCLA enables testing of plasma-facing surfaces over a wide range of densities\, energies\, and fluence while providing in-situ observation with a wide range of intrusive and non-intrusive diagnostics. Using this facility and computational models\, we have developed and characterized new surfaces that reduce ion induced sputtering and ion-induced secondary electron emission (iSEE) by over 50%. Certain geometries improve trapping of sputterants and electrons for high-energy plasma applications. Similar surfaces provide significant reductions to electron-induced secondary electron emission (eSEE)\, resulting in materials that are plasma-resilient and minimally invasive. The talk will also cover recent discoveries on plasma-functionalized metamaterials and photonic crystals. We have uncovered coupling modes between “spoof” surface plasmons (SSPs) and plasma-based surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that could lead to a new class of devices for EM-manipulating metasurfaces including rapidly tuneable filters\, switches\, multiplexers\, and beam steering.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Richard E.

In this framework\, the European Commission plays an important role in shaping European energy policies and providing science-based results as generated by the Joint Research Centre (JRC). Indeed\, the JRC has a full directorate dedicated to Nuclear Safety and Security. That directorate has been recently organised into three departments and has issued a new vision and strategy taking also into account societal aspects. One of these departments\, the Nuclear Safety department\, addresses both the reactors and the associated fuels\, and includes nuclear waste transmutation studies. Key research in that area is the development and validation of the fuel elements. The main issues of the minor Actinides bearing fuels and their claddings will be addressed in terms of design requirements\, basic properties assessment and validation. Examples of current research programs and preliminary results will be presented. In this context\, the availability of irradiation facilities to investigate appropriate boundary conditions as defined by the requirements is of paramount importance and the status and future perspectives will be shortly addressed. Finally\, the aspect that is becoming more and more important in the European arena for nuclear energy research is the assessment of societal impacts the outcome of a social study performed on a specific case will also be presented.\n\nBio: Concetta Fazio is deputy Head of the Nuclear Fuel Safety Unit of the European Commission Joint Research Centre. After getting her PhD in Metallurgical Engineering at the Politecnico of Turin\, she has started her research work at the Italian Research Centre ENEA on materials studies for fusion devices\, accelerator driven systems and concentrated solar power. Successively\, she moved to the German Research Institution KIT\, where she was in charge both of the “Partitioning and Transmutation” and “Safety of New Nuclear Systems” programs. She has lead the R&D activities of several international initiatives as for instance the 1MW Liquid Metal Spallation Target (MEGAPIE) international project that has been successfully completed. Successively she has been appointed as initiator\, negotiator and coordinator of the European Joint Program on Nuclear Materials. Its objective was to develop and assess structural and fuel element materials for innovative reactor systems as well as to perform multiscale modelling. At JRC after a first period spent on defining Nuclear Education and Training programs for MSc and PhD students and professional development\, she became scientific assistant to the director of the JRC directorate on nuclear safety and security.

Critical infrastructure systems are essential to our economy and society\, however\, they frequently face disruptions leading to cascading failures across other systems. One challenge is the ability to make accurate predictions of post-disruption systems behavior that capture time and uncertainty dynamics. This talk will cover Bayesian methods developed to address challenges in risk-based predictive analytics. The methods integrate hierarchical Bayesian models with kernel functions to account for uncertainty\, prior knowledge\, and systems information. In addition\, Bayesian updating of infrastructure network response under multiple hazard scenarios is discussed. Case studies to illustrate these methods include resilience modeling of power and water systems. \n \nBio\nHiba Baroud is an assistant professor in the Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth and Environmental Sciences\, and the Littlejohn Dean’s Faculty Fellow. Her work explores data and decision analytics to model the resilience and sustainability of critical infrastructure systems and communities. Her research applications are focused on smart cities as well as developing countries. Hiba’s prior experience includes a summer research with IBM at the Watson Research Center\, a fellowship at George Washington University Center for International Business Education and Research\, and a visiting position in the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nWe study the welfare costs of markups in a dynamic model with heterogeneous firms and endogenously variable markups. We find that the welfare costs of markups are large. We decompose the costs of markups into three channels: (i) an aggregate markup that acts like a uniform output tax\, (ii) misallocation of factors of production\, and (iii) an inefficiently low rate of entry. We find that the aggregate markup accounts for about two-thirds of the costs\, misallocation accounts for about one-third\, and the costs due to inefficient entry are negligible. We evaluate simple policies aimed at reducing the costs of markups. Subsidizing entry is not an effective tool in our model: while more competition reduces individual firms’ markups it also reallocates market shares towards larger firms and the net effect is that the aggregate markup hardly changes. Size-dependent policies aimed at reducing concentration can reduce the aggregate markup but have the side-effect of greatly increasing misallocation and reducing aggregate productivity.\n\nhttp://www.virgiliumidrigan.com/uploads/1/3/9/8/13982648/how-costly-markups-09-29-18.pdf UID:54218-13539476@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54218 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180828T112033 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181010T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181010T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions: Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:Join us for Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions\, a series of talks featuring experts in policy and practice from across the nation.

It is also a forum for University of Michigan students and scholars interested in human rights issues to come together for interdisciplinary intellectual engagement and to promote innovative and impactful research in human rights. Please RSVP for the panel here: http://myumi.ch/Lqkge \n \nPanelists: \n \nCharles Crabtree \nPh.D. Candidate\, Department of Political Science \n\"How Public Opinion Shapes Discriminatory Policing\" \n \nWhy do the police discriminate against racial minorities? Unlike existing studies\, which focus on explicit or implicit biases among the police\, I argue that racial discrimination depends in a conditional way on the extent of egalitarian views among the police and the public. To test the implications of my theory\, I conduct an innovative survey experiment with American law enforcement administrators and elected officials who oversee the police. As predicted\, elected politicians exhibit less racial discrimination in law enforcement oversight when informed that the public supports racial equality in policing. Contrary to my theory\, though\, police do not react to perceived public demand for egalitarianism. Overall\, my results suggest that public attitudes toward racial equality influence police discrimination only indirectly\, through the institutions that monitor and check their power. My paper contributes to the growing inter-disciplinary literature on the politics of policing by illuminating how public opinion shapes law enforcement outcomes. \n \nCharles Crabtree is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan. His substantive research focuses on various aspects of repression and discrimination in comparative\, American\, and international politics. Methodologically\, he is interested in research design\, experiments\, and using computational tools to better understand the social world. He has published work on these topics in the British Journal of Political Science\, Conflict Management and Peace Science\, Electoral Studies\, International Interactions\, International Studies Quarterly\, the Journal of Experimental Political Science\, the Journal of Peace Research\, Political Research Quarterly\, Political Analysis\, Political Science Research and Methods\, PS: Political Science & Politics\, Research & Politics\, State Politics & Policy Quarterly\, and in several journals in other fields. \n\n---\nVolha (Olga) Chykina \nPostdoctoral Fellow\, Donia Human Rights Center \n“Public Opinion Towards Immigrants and the Educational Experiences of Immigrant Students: Evidence from Europe and the United States” \n \nIn my work\, I examine whether heightened levels of anti-immigrant sentiment negatively affect the academic outcomes of immigrant youth. More specifically\, I conduct a cross-national examination of the achievement and educational expectations to attain a college degree of first and second-generation immigrant youth in Europe as well as a sub-national examination in the United States. As part of it\, I analyze data from traditional and new immigrant destination countries in Europe. In line with my theory\, I find that an increase in anti-immigrant sentiment is associated with a decrease in student math achievement and student expectations to attain a college degree. I also analyze data from standardized state assessments in California. I find that an increase in anti-immigrant sentiment is associated with a reduction in student scores on these tests. To conduct these analyses\, I create a novel measure of sub-national anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States. Prior studies have largely ignored that students might be influenced by discrimination that occurs outside the schoolhouse. My work addresses this gap in the literature by showing that anti-immigrant sentiment might hamper immigrant educational outcomes. These findings are especially important in light of heightened anti-immigrant sentiment in both Europe and the United States. \n \nVolha Chykina is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Donia Human Rights Center at the University of Michigan. Previously\, she was a Ph.D. student in the Educational Theory and Policy program and the Comparative and International Education program at the Pennsylvania State University. Broadly defined\, her research attempts to answer the question of what drives educational inequality in the United States and cross-nationally. A significant portion of this research examines how the educational policies and characteristics of immigrant and minority students’ communities affect their educational outcomes. Her research has been published or is forthcoming in Sociological Science\, the British Journal of Sociology of Education\, Socius\, The Social Science Journal\, Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education\, Globalisation\, Societies and Education\, and European Education. She also has a number of working projects that can be found on her website\, http://volhachykina.org/.\n\n---\nTamy Guberek \nPh.D. Candidate\, School of Information \n“Data Dilemmas: The Impact of Communicating Uncertain Numbers in Human Rights Decision-making”\n\nData about crime\, violence and human rights abuses is shrouded with uncertainty. Missing data is high\, rarely randomly distributed\, and ground truth is almost never attainable. How does communicating the limitations of these data impact decision-making? While human rights scholars recommend that advocates transparently communicate data limitations to audiences\, existing studies from cognitive science and science communication disagree about whether doing so is effective\, counterproductive\, or something in between. In this talk\, I will present early results from experimental research where I find strong evidence that the content of conveying uncertainty in data matters. As predicted\, simple caveats have no impact on decisions\, while more informative expressions of uncertainty do. These findings suggest that those who include numeric information about such difficult to observe phenomena should carefully review and consider the impact of their communication strategies.\n\nTamy Guberek is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan School of Information. Her research focuses on various challenges as data\, archives and technology intersect with advancing human rights and protecting vulnerable communities. She has published in Archival Science\, Statistics Politics and Policy\, and the ACM Human Factors in Computing (CHI) peer-reviewed proceedings\, as well as co-authored various reports with and for human rights practitioners. Prior to graduate school\, Guberek led work in Latin America for the Human Rights Data Analysis Group.\n\n###\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to umichhumanrights@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Stein DESCRIPTION:Professor Stein's abstract:\n\n“The pervasive influence of popular dance-songs in early modern Hispanic literature and colonial cultures has long been recognized by literary and musical scholars. Hundreds of plays\, stories\, and text booklets for vernacular sacred villancicos call for them. Musicologists have focused primarily on analyzing form and genre\, finding and listing musical sources\, categorizing poetic texts\, and generally describing their broad cultural context. \n\nIn this paper\, I focus on dance-songs that were incorporated into sacred music performed across the Hispanic dominions\, despite their repeated condemnation and prohibition. Their tunes\, rhythms\, and harmonic patterns (made especially clear to us in solo instrumental settings) were distinct and recognizable to all kinds of listeners. They communicated meaning through their very musical materials\, not merely in their sung texts.  \n\nMy recent research has uncovered what might be the key to understanding the paradoxical value of these dance-songs to seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century ecclesiastical authorities. Many describe\, execute\, facilitate or narrate the violation of feminine spaces\, womanly precincts\, female privacy\, and even the female body. My presentation moves from a sacred play by Miguel de Cervantes about a conversion in the Americas to provocative excerpts from sacred villancicos composed in Spain\, colonial New Spain (Mexico)\, and colonial Latin America. The paper will be illustrated with both audio examples and visual evidence presented via slides.”\n\nThe talk is part of the Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop on \"Religion in the Atlantic World.\" UID:55521-13752386@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Burton Memorial Tower - Room 506 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181025T123025 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181010T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181010T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:If you are in Handshake\, Click \"Join event\" to RSVP\n* Not inHandshake?

The planet is in peril. Oceans are poisoned with human waste. Racism is on the rise. Virulent nationalism has resurfaced across the globe. Religion is shaky and ungrounded. Technology is reaching into our lives instead of enriching it. We seem to have reached an impasse on borders and the role of government. Humans usually develop shared stories to understand moments like these. The current narrative that is shared by religion\, science\, and politics is about the end of it all—the end of the world. But is that what is happening?\n\nAbdul-Matin will address how to confront this time of extraordinary upheaval\, a time in which the failures of our economic and political systems have become clear and the harm is deeply and widely felt. In this moment of upheaval\, of dissolution and awakening\, what is unravelling? What is possible that wasn’t possible before? What is the worldview that we can awaken and cultivate now? What seeds did (y)our ancestors plant for Deep Democracy\, rooted in Beloved Community\, that you could water and cultivate now? \n\nHe will share amazing examples of work happening right now that seeks to nurture whole people and whole communities as we transition away from a world of domination and extraction to one of regeneration\, resilience\, and interdependence.\n\nIbrahim Abdul-Matin is the author of \"Green Deen: What Islam Teaches About Protecting the Planet.\" He has advised two NYC mayors on sustainability policy\, among other issues\, and has also worked with Fortune 500 companies on sustainability and innovation. He has spoken and written for a variety of outlets on diverse topics including Islam and sustainability\, organizing and activism\, and land use process. A former on-air sports contributor to WNYC’s The Takeaway\, Abdul-Matin has appeared on CNN\, Fox News\, and Al Jazeera\, among others. And in 2015 he was named one of the 40 Under 40 Rising Stars in New York City Politics by City & State Magazine.\n\nAbout the Jill S. Harris Memorial Lecture: The Jill S. Harris Memorial Endowment was established in 1985 by Roger and Meredith Harris\, Jill’s parents\, her grandparents Allan and Norma Harris\, and friends. The fund was established in memory of Jill\, a resident of Chicago and undergraduate student at U-M who passed away due to injuries from an auto accident.\n\nThe fund brings a distinguished visitor to campus each year who will appeal to undergraduates interested in the humanities and the arts. The visitor may either be a fellow of the institute for an extended period of time or invited for a few days to present the annual lecture.The visiting fellow will usually interact with undergraduates\, informally and through visits to classes or by other means by which exchanges with undergraduates may be promoted.
