This possibility is hindered by decoherence processes that prevent matter from fully exhibiting its quantum features. In this talk\, I will summarize our progress understanding decoherence in molecular processes\, and in particular electronic decoherence. I will discuss the basic mechanisms for electronic coherence loss\, methods to quantify the decoherence\, and a general theory of decoherence timescales. The talk with conclude with some novel prospects on the possibility of using lasers to control electronic decoherence in molecules. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nIgnacio Franco (University of Rochester) UID:52043-12376521@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180808T084425 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181011T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181011T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Animal Friends: Ceramic Sculpture DESCRIPTION:Marcia Polenberg loves animals\, each with its own unique personality\, intelligence and expressive range of emotions. Using terra-cotta sculpture clay\, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals\, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness\, surprise\, mischief\, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times\, building up a rich\, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting\, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics\, paint\, graphite and pastel.

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

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.

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

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

He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally\, for more than forty years\, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine\, The Big Scream\, providing a venue for more than 200 poets\, including both big names names and younger\, lesser-known poets.

For example\, there is no known cause for more than 80% of the cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)\, and the remaining cases can be caused by mutations in any one of more than twenty genes. It is unlikely that any single therapeutic strategy will work for all these patients. We seek to understand such complex diseases better by gathering a wide variety of omic\, clinical and behavior data. I’ll describe the approaches we are using to integrate these data\, identify disease subtypes and explore their therapeutic potential.\n\nDr. Ernest Fraenkel is a professor in Biomedical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology UID:55507-13750120@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55507 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Engineering,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Chrysler Center - 133 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180920T171419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181011T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181011T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. 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:52176-12520832@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:20181011T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181011T170000 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. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries.

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.

Dane Wittrup DESCRIPTION:C.P. Dubbs Professor of Chemical Engineering and Biological Engineering\nAssociate Director\, Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology\n\nABSTRACT\n\n\"Bioengineering of synergistic innate and adaptive immunotherapy of cancer\"\n\nHarnessing the immune system to attack cancer has started a revolution in oncology. The ability of the adaptive immune system to track such evolving pathologies has provided robust responses and cures in 10-25% of previously intractable cancers such as metastatic melanoma. The next frontier is to “raise the tail” of the survival curve in such cancers by finding synergistic combination therapies. Chemical and biological engineers have pioneered approaches that are well suited to such investigations\, bringing quantitative problem-solving synthetic and analytical toolkits to bear. I’ll provide examples from my lab where cocktails of anti-tumor antibodies and cytokines have accomplished highly safe and efficacious therapies as tested in mouse models of cancer.

However\, advances in our understanding of epigenetics has guided new perspectives on the biological factors that contribute to the inheritance of a broad range of characteristics – particularly those shaped by the environment. In this talk\, I will describe research examining the impact of a broad range of parental experiences\, including exposure to stress\, toxins and altered nutrition\, on offspring development and behavior and illustrate the complex and dynamic routes through which the transmission of characteristics across generations can be achieved.

The “New Approach” makes use of the transfer function method of John P. Wolf (Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction) for modeling the soil specimen as a viscoelastic\, distributed mass element. The new solution is simple and easy to implement with a spreadsheet. It provides for accurate determination of shear modulus and damping over a range of frequencies not just the resonant frequency. The analysis of data is done for each applied value of torque and frequency and captures the true nonlinear properties of soil. The method is the basis for the new ASTM Standard D4015-15ε1. Dr. Drnevich will discuss additional uses of the new approach for simulation and modeling.\n\nVince Drnevich received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in civil engineering from the University of Notre Dame and he completed the Ph.D. degree at the University of Michigan. He held faculty positions\nat the University of Kentucky and Purdue University\, serving as Chair and Acting Dean at Kentucky and the Head of School at Purdue. His research focuses on the engineering properties of soils\, especially as measured by stress wave propagation and electromagnetic wave propagation. Dr. Drnevich has been recognized for both his teaching and research by many national awards from the American Society of Civil Engineers\, the American Society for Testing and Materials\, and the American Society for Engineering Education.

Predicting the allosteric pathways from protein structures would help us determine regulation networks and design smart drugs. However\, it remains a challenge as the nature of allostery — this elasticity-mediated long-range interaction is understood superficially. To approach the problem with systematic samples\, we introduce a numerical scheme with the model proteins evolving in-silico to accomplish specific allosteric functions. We then obtain statistical features among thousands of solutions to the tasks and deduce rules for the allosteric mechanics. For the geometric task when a specific strain is propagated through the media\, we find commonly applied is an edge-mode mechanism which quickly amplifies the strain signal close to the active site. While for the cooperative task with elastic energy conveyed\, we reveal that the appearance of a mechanism\, an extended and nearly zero energy mode\, dominates the pathway. This mechanism can appear as shear\, hinge\, and twist — designs found in some allosteric proteins\, or be more complicated and hard to visualize. But independent of specific designs\, we predict such a scaling relation for the frequency of the allosteric mechanism that the cooperative energy is optimized to be independent of the protein size. \n\nBio: After obtained Bachelor degree at Peking University in 2010\, Le moved to the United States for his PhD at New York University\, where he worked with Matthieu Wyart studying the glassy dynamics and rigidity transition.

These connections are highly troubling. They reveal that contemporary ideas about orderly states and state failure cannot be understood without reference to the genealogy of order and its political economy. Order is not simply a normative value\, but the outcome of particular ways of organizing political power and the economy. In the histories this talk engages\, these particular ways of organizing political power and the economy are intertwined with the histories of colonialism and the racial and ethnic ideologies this colonialism depended on.

In matrilineal kinship systems\, lineage and inheritance are traced through female members. The structure of matrilineal kinship systems implies that\, relative to patrilineal kinship systems\, women have greater support from their own kin groups\, and husbands have less authority over their wives. I use experimental and physiological measures and a geographic regression discontinuity design along the matrilineal belt in Africa to test how kinship systems affect spousal cooperation. Men and women from matrilineal ethnic groups cooperate less with their spouses in a lab experiment. This is not the case when paired with a stranger of the opposite sex. I examine the implications of matrilineal kinship for the well–being of women and children. Children of matrilineal women are healthier and better educated\, and matrilineal women experience less domestic violence. The results highlight how household outcomes are tied to broader social structures.\n\nSarah Lowes graduated from Harvard University in May 2017 with a Ph.D. from the Political Economy and Government program (Economics track).

The most extreme hybrid defect is inviability. Hybrids therefore provide an easy to screen phenotype to identify what genes and molecular pathways have functionally diverged as genomes differentiate. Here I identify the Drosophila melanogaster allele of the highly conserved and essential gap gene giant (gt) as a key genetic determinant of hybrid inviability in crosses with D. santomea. The presence of this allele in D. melanogaster/D. santomea hybrids causes an abdominal ablation not seen in either pure species. giant is a key developmental regulator whose role in anterior-posterior specification of the dipteran embryo is conserved over 100 million years. The interaction of giant with a second allele\, tailless\,tll\, is involved in the hybrid defects observed in these Drosophila hybrids. These results indicate that even genes with crucial developmental roles that are conserved over vast evolutionary time scales can experience functional evolution that leads to inviability of hybrids UID:49650-11487535@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49650 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Environment,Lecture,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181008T083128 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181011T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181011T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Medieval Chests as Ideological Objects DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Chests were the most common piece of medieval furniture. As aristocratic households moved from castle to castle\, chests transported the valuables that accompanied them. After the Black Death\, they were instrumental in helping Londoners cope with the consequences of the so-called consumer revolution: what to do with the profusion of dishware\, clothing\, and knick-knacks when they were not in use\, and how to retrieve them when needed. Embedded in the routines of storage were larger ideological concerns of order\, gender\, and behavior\; highly contested issues in the post-plague world. The chest helps us understand how domestic dynamics changed in the two-centuries following the plague.\n\nKatherine French received her PhD in 1993 from the University of Minnesota\, where she worked with Barbara Hanawalt. She taught at SUNY New Paltz\, one of the regional universities in the SUNY system\, for eighteen years before being appointed the J. Frederick Hoffman Professor of medieval English history at the University of Michigan in 2011. She has held fellowships at the Harvard Divinity School\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Institute for the Humanities at Princeton\, and U-M's Institute for the Humanities. Her scholarship focuses on women\, religion\, and material culture in late medieval England. Her first two monographs\, The People of the Parish: Community Life in a Late Medieval English Diocese (Philadelphia\, 2001) and The Good Women of the Parish: Religion and Gender after the Black Death (Pennsylvania\, 2008)\, analyzed the religious practices of English peasants and townspeople in the two hundred years between the Black Death (1348) and the Reformation. Most Reformation scholarship argued that local life was disintegrating. She was interested in the ways in which community identity and gender shape religious practice. She has also co-authored a text book Women and Gender in the Western Past (Houghton Mifflin\, 2001) and is the author of more than twenty articles and book chapters. Her current book project “Household Goods and Good Households in Late Medieval London” continues to try to understand the consequences of losing between a third to a half of the population to the Black Death. It asks how did increasing consumption after the Black Death by London’s merchants and artisans shaped their household dynamics.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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.

We show that even with less than full compensation the answer might be yes. The reason for this is that under tort law victims are often compensated by negligent injurers for the materialization of risks not created by their negligence. Thus\, by being exposed to even slight negligence\, they gain free insurance for those risks. More interestingly\, we also show that under certain circumstances some injurers would prefer to behave negligently toward their victims\, even if they expect to compensate them for risks not created by their negligence. As a result\, victims might select them as their potential injurers\, or in our terms\, “induce negligence.” Although behaving negligently given the selection of the injurer by the victim can be efficient\, inducing negligence is not the first best. In order to achieve the first best\, courts should avoid attributing liability for harms materialized from risks not created by negligence (or resort to contributory negligence). We explain how they should do so.\n\nco-authored with Alon Cohen & Avraham Tabbach UID:56222-13867071@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56222 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Law,seminar LOCATION:South Hall - 1020 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181004T181239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181011T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181011T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:American Express Undergraduate Info Session DESCRIPTION:If you are ready to take your college experiences and apply them in the\nreal-world\, American Express has internship and full-time opportunities\navailable.

When he was just four years old\, Tom’s anthropologist parents took him to live with a tribal community in the Colombian Amazon\, sowing the seeds of his passion for adventure in the wild. Since then\, Hugh-Jones has worked on many prolific titles such as Planet Earth\, Human Planet\, and Life Story\, taking audiences around the world into the beating heart of breath-taking moments\, close encounters\, spectacular failures\, and places no human should ever go.\n\nHugh-Jones will also bring special guests from Blue Planet Production to discuss the teamwork and process of making Planet Earth and its companion BBC show\, Blue Planet. Guests include producer/director Rachael Butler and Pam and Tim Fogg of Rope Access Specialists\, a team of experts in rope-access rigging and safety when shooting in difficult-to-reach locales such as caves\, volcanoes\, and cliffs.\n\nCo-Presented by U-M Museum of Natural History’s William R.

Islamophobia and the Struggle for Recognition DESCRIPTION:Until recently\, the concept of islamophobia was located in the field of religious tolerance and pluralism. Professor Modood pioneered an alternative understanding of the phenomenon\, defining islamophobia instead as anti-Muslim racism in the context of multicultural citizenship. That alternative definition is now emerging as the dominant interpretation\, accepted by UNESCO and gaining traction in social sciences and public discourse alike. Professor Modood will outline the public career of the concept of Islamophobia and discuss his misgivings about the direction that some Islamophobia/Muslim studies are taking.\n\nTariq Modood is professor of sociology\, politics\, and public policy and the founding director of the Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship at the University of Bristol. He is also the co-founder of the international journal Ethnicities. He has held over 40 grants and consultancies\, has over 35 (co-)authored and (co-)edited books and reports\, as well as over 200 articles and chapters. He was a Robert Schuman Fellow at the European University Institute for part of 2013-15\, and a “Thinker in Residence” at the Royal Academy of Flanders\, Brussels in 2017. His latest books include \"Multiculturalism: A Civic Idea\" (2nd ed.\, 2013)\; \"Multiculturalism Rethought\" (2015)\; \"Multiculturalism and Interculturalism: Debating the Dividing Lines\" (2016)\; and \"The Problem of Religious Diversity: European Problems\, Asian Challenges\" (2017). \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to cesmichigan@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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.

Featuring the heartbreaking stories of students across the country who have been pushed to the brink by over-scheduling\, over-testing and the relentless pressure to achieve\, “Race to Nowhere” points to a silent epidemic in our schools. Through the testimony of educators\, parents and education experts\, it reveals an education system in which cheating has become commonplace\; students have become disengaged\; stress-related illness\, depression and burnout are rampant\; and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired. \"\n\nFollowing the film\, a panel will speak and lead discussion and Q&A\, including:\nJohn Boshoven\, Counselor Emeritas and Co-Chair of AAPS Counseling Department\n\nPatricia Manley\, Trustee\, Board of Education\, Ann Arbor Public Schools\n\nTodd Sevig\, Director\, Counseling and Psychological Services\, University of Michigan\n\nThis event is free and co-sponsored by U-M Michigan Community Scholars Program and the Ann Arbor District Library.

During colonization\, indigenous cultures and mannerisms were disrupted and subject to transformations that set up unrealistic standards without proper representation of women of color. We will educate the campus community about this misrepresentation and the significance of bringing awareness to the issue. This year’s theme\, “Radiance in Color”\, will be celebrated through poetry\, amazing guest speakers\,  and a diverse array of cultural foods\, awards. At the end of the night\, we will host a gallery portraying women of color dismantling idealized white standards that govern women in different aspects of life. We will have a professional guest speaker discuss the importance of women of color and the negative effect of enforcing white standards. Most importantly\, our goal is to recognize and celebrate the components of what makes a woman and what makes a Latina. By doing so\, we will educate and empower Latinos and other campus communities to respect and honor women as well as be aware of and/or take action against the many oppressions held against women globally.

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.

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:52176-12520833@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:20181010T132533 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181012T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181012T153000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Governing Faculty Retreat DESCRIPTION:The English Faculty Retreat is coming up this Friday\, October 12\, with breakfast served from 8:30 am (in Atrium 4 North of Palmer Commons) and our discussions beginning promptly at 9:00. \n\ncontact amyarger@umich.edu for more details.

I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images\, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals\, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape\, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and\, in this way\, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.\n\nI use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active\, forceful agent\, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity\; hopefully\, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.\n\nWhen making art for public spaces\, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content\, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece\, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture\, ecosystem\, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice\, in turn\, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework\, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

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.

In the case of an automobile\, for example\, these siblings would be spark plugs\, light bulbs\, tires\, that is\, identical components that are coded with the same part number. When field [big] data are analyzed\, a dilemma arises as to how to interpret a recurrent replacement of a sibling component: as a secondary failure of the component that has already been replaced once\, or as the first failure of the component’s sibling(s)? From the stand point of root-cause analysis\, the task is to understand whether recurrent failures are related to (i) a particular sibling\, which might be operating in inauspicious conditions relative to other siblings\, or (ii) to all siblings on the vehicle. One could attribute Scenario (i) to a system-level (e.g. system interaction) problem\, and Scenario (ii) to a component-level (supplier quality) problem. We first review a statistical procedure that solves the above-mentioned dilemma in the framework of ordinary renewal process (ORP) and then extend the discussion to the non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) and the g-renewal process (GRP). \n\nBio\nVasiliy Krivtsov is the Director of Reliability Analytics at the Ford Motor Company.

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.

Lao Murals in Northeast Thailand DESCRIPTION:Research on temple murals in Thailand has focused on those commissioned by the rich and famous—royalty\, nobility\, or wealthy entrepreneurs—in historic centers of power\, such as Auytthaya\, Thonburi\, Bangkok and to a lesser extent the northern Lanna kingdom. Little has been written in either Thai or English about the unique early 20th century murals of ethnic Lao people in the Northeast\, a region also known as Isan. These murals\, rather than being inferior copies of those in the central region\, are inspired by local Buddhist stories and practices and are executed with a verve and vision unique to their creators. Among their most distinctive characteristics are their diverse compositions and their location on the exterior of ordination halls. \n\nLocated in villages rather than provincial capitals\, these humble murals are not well-known even in Isan. However\, Wat Chaisi\, a temple in a village 20 kilometers from Khon Kaen city is quickly becoming famous as a model of preservation\, education\, and Buddhist celebrations and is even being advertised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The talk will include pictures of many murals and summaries of the stories depicted. \n\n ---\nThe following text will be included on all II events unless you indicate otherwise:If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Persistent homology is a popular approach within the area of Topological Data Analysis that offers a way to represent\, visualize\, and interpret complex data by extracting topological features\, which can be used to infer properties of the underlying structures. For example\, TDA may be useful for analyzing the large-scale structure (LSS) of the Universe\, which is an intricate and spatially complex web of matter. The output from persistent homology\, called persistence diagrams\, summarize the different ordered holes in the data (e.g. connected components\, loops\, voids). I will introduce persistent homology\, present functional transformations of persistence diagrams useful for inference\, and discuss several applications.

In the 1970s he danced in projects with Martha Graham Company (“Clytemnestra”)\, Pauline Koner\, and Kenneth King’s RadioactivIDity. In the 1990s\, he joined Wally Cardona Quartet and took part in projects with Tere O’Connor Notes on Shame\, Sasha Waltz's Dialog II\, Marjorie Gamso\, Vicky Shick\, Sally Silvers's Yessified\, Elke Rindfleisch\, Rika Burnham\, and Linda Seifert. Most recently he was in Liz Magic Laser’s The Digital Face\, Pam Tanowitz's the story progresses…\, and Ellen Cornfield’s Small Stages. He has presented his own choreography since 1983 and as AlanGoodDance between 2000-08. He currently teaches at the Cunningham Trust and teaches master classes in colleges. This summer\, he taught movement in Greek camps to children of Syrian families that fled war (El Sistema Greece).\n\n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.\n\nThis event supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.

Martin received an Engineering degree in applied physics from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Physique de Marseille\, France\; Ph.D. (biomedical engineering) and Dr.Sci. (Neuroscience) degrees from the Université de Provence\, Marseille\, France\, in 1980 and 1989\, respectively. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering and Adjunct Research Scientist in the School of Kinesiology\, University of Michigan. His research interests are in human motor control\, sensorimotor systems\, muscle fatigue\, biomechanics\, motion simulation\, human vibration\, and stroke rehabilitation.\n\nAbstract: Work-related neck and shoulder pains are highly prevalent in jobs with low physical exposure. Myalgia of the trapezius muscle is one of the most prevalent work-related neck-shoulder disorders and muscle fatigue is widely considered a precursor of such disorders. There is evidence that long-lasting low-level activity of the trapezius muscle appears as a crucial link in the pathway from workplace physiological and psychological demands to the development of work related neck pain. A possible approach to reduce the risks associated with muscle fatigue is to disrupt the monotonous muscle activity by adding frequent\, active breaks during the working task. In the first phase of our investigation the long lasting component of trapezius muscle fatigue resulting from low-level\, sustained working task and spatio-temporal distribution of EMG activity are investigated in two conditions including passive break or active disruption of muscle contraction. Muscle fatigue develops and persists after the end of the workday. It appears that the alteration of force control may be associated with the corresponding fatigue. However\, these phenomena seem to be counteracted by disruption of muscle contraction monotony by active interventions during the workday. Indeed\, the presence of active disruptions also induces changes in the timing and degree of EMG activity as well as features of trapezius active areas. The extent of these adaptations appears to be subject and work task dependent but seem to be beneficial for the reduction of muscle fatigue.

Their venoms are complex\, each with 100 to 200 different bioactive components\, and each species has a different set of venom components. This talk will focus on the ca. 150 species that prey on fish. The fish-hunting cone snails have evolved different strategies to capture their fish prey\; and by understanding how the different lineages evolved and the behavior of the snails\, and how their venoms affect the behavior of fish (and mice)\, insight has been gained into how different molecular components of the venom work. As a consequence of this research\, there is one approved drug from these venoms\, two that have reached clinical trials\, and several in pre-clinical development.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nOlivera is a Distinguished Professor of Biology at the University of Utah\, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor and an adjunct professor at the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute. He is a member of the American Philosophical Society\, the U.S. National Academy of Science and the Institute of Medicine. His awards include the Outstanding Alumni Award of Caltech\, the Redi Award from the International Society for Toxinology and the Harvard Foundation Scientist of the Year 2007 Award.

Data is changing the way society lives and works from social media to automobile safety to smart manufacturing. While data has always played a key role in engineering\, the volume and variety now available enables new insights on the behavior of complex systems and their environment. When leveraged properly\, this influx of data provides an opportunity for significant advancement in engineering solutions that benefit society.\n\n\nIn this seminar\, the impacts of big data and machine learning technologies on data-driven engineering are explored with emphasis on the aerospace industry. Modern aircraft are outfitted with thousands of sensors and produce hundreds of gigabytes of data each flight. Combined with data collected during design\, build\, and testing\, engineers have a wealth of information to increase safety\, enhance value\, and improve future designs. Engineers will be instrumental in harnessing the power of all this data\, collecting the right information and making it available to the right person at the right time.\n\n \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nEric Muir earned his Bachelors\, Masters and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan and currently works at the Boeing Company in Seattle\, WA. He is currently a data scientist in autonomous systems development combining his passion for engineering and aviation with new technologies in data analytics and machine learning. Prior to this role\, Eric was a structural dynamics engineer within the Propulsion Systems Division where he advanced fan blade-out and windmilling dynamic analyses of turbofan engines\, particularly the GE9X on the 777X. In addition to his work at Boeing\, he also teaches a structural dynamics course at the University of Washington.\n\n\nEric’s interests as an aerospace engineer center on tackling challenging and complex problems using cutting-edge technologies. His work spans structural dynamics and fluid-structure interaction and is expanding into the areas of machine learning and autonomous flight. He is enthusiastic about the impact of these advanced technologies on the design\, manufacture\, and operation of the next generation of sophisticated aerospace systems.\n\nEric lives in Seattle with his wife and daughter and is an avid outdoorsman and pilot who enjoys taking full advantage of the recreation in the Pacific Northwest.

Despite strong evidence to the contrary\, many individuals still believe that childhood vaccinations cause autism (DeStefano et al.\, 2013\; Horne et al.\, 2015\; Jain et al.\, 2015). Here\, we examine the conditions under which this misconception may be eliminated. The current study is a replication of Horne et al. (2015)\, who found that communicating the risk of diseases targeted by vaccines was more effective than directly correcting misinformation. The findings from this study will provide the general public as well as public health officials with a scientific basis for how to successfully alter attitudes towards vaccines.

Determining the number of hidden states for an HMM is a model selection problem\, which has yet to be satisfactorily solved\, especially for the popular Gaussian HMM with heterogeneous covariance. In this paper\, we propose a consistent method for determining the number of hidden states of HMM based on the marginal likelihood. We give a rigorous proof of the consistency of the proposed marginal likelihood method and provide simulation studies to compare the proposed method with the currently mostly adopted method\, the Bayesian information criterion (BIC)\, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed marginal likelihood method. The proposed method is applied to single-molecule data and yields interesting scientific insights.\n\nBio: Yang Chen received her Ph.D. (2017) in Statistics from Harvard University and joined the University of Michigan as an Assistant Professor of Statistics and Research Assistant Professor at the Michigan Institute of Data Science (MIDAS).

Helen Foster obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1946. She developed her passion for mapping unknown geological terrains as a graduate student in Wyoming\, and thoroughly enjoyed her time at Camp Davis the geological field station where the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences teaches a wide variety of field courses. After she received her Ph.D.\, she leapt at the opportunity to work for the U.S. Geological Survey in Japan\, during the U.S. military occupation immediately following the Second World War. She spent nearly a decade working with and befriending several Japanese geologists while compiling geological maps of Japan and the Kurile Islands. On her return to the United States\, she continued her work with the U.S. Geological Survey\, and became deeply involved with creating the first geological maps of Alaska. She was a pioneer in so many ways\, as an intrepid young woman in Japan\, and then as one among the first geologists to map the Alaskan wilderness\, which was without roads and so field work involved being dropped off by a float airplane on a lake and spending weeks mapping and camping before being picked up again or re-supplied. Helen loved it! Throughout her lengthy career she has supported the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences - as an inspiration to our faculty and students\, as a member of the Department’s Alumni Advisory Board\, and as a generous donor. We will present an interview with Helen Foster recorded earlier this year.

Domesticating Dragomans: Affect\, Homosociality and Textual Circulations DESCRIPTION:The chapter under consideration is from a book in progress about dragomans (diplomatic interpreters) in seventeenth-century Istanbul and explores the relationship between (homosocial) space and affect in the making of a dragoman corps. Through two case studies it examines how Venetian officials sought (and often failed) to cultivate dragomans’ heteronormative affective ties and loyal Venetian political subjectivity through the practice of extended residential apprenticeship in the Venetian embassy compound (bailate) and attended technologies of surveillance and controlled textual circulation. The two cases explored here\, of dragomans’ attempted unionization in 1660 and of an aborted love affair between a dragoman apprentice and the bailate barber in 1588\, suggest the competing ways in which dragomans and their Venetian employers attempted to control publicity about potentially scandalous affairs\, how they mobilized patronage networks that linked the bailate with Venetian metropolitan institutions and powerful patrons\, and how the archival traces from which these cases of \"misplaced\" affect are reconstructed themselves need to be situated in the context of evolving diplomatic protocol and Ottoman--as much as Venetian--social structures and sexual regimes.

Her research is focused on Indigenous feminisms\, California Indians and decolonization. She received her Ph.D. in Native American Studies with a Designated Emphasis in Feminist Theory and Research from the University of California\, Davis and her M.F.A. in Creative Writing & Literary Research from San Diego State University. She also has her B.A. in Psychology from Stanford University. She is the author of a popular blog that explores issues of social justice\, history and California Indian politics and culture: www.cutcharislingbaldy.com/blog. Dr. Risling Baldy's first book\, We Are Dancing For You: Native Feminisms and the Revitalization of Women's Coming-of-Age Ceremonies considers how revitalization of women's coming-of-age ceremonies challenges anthropological theories about menstruation\, gender\, and coming-of-age and addresses gender inequality and gender violence within Native communities. The book is available with the University of Washington Press and major book sellers and retailers. Dr. Risling Baldy is Hupa\, Yurok and Karuk and an enrolled member of the Hoopa Valley Tribe in Northern California. In 2007\, Dr. Risling Baldy co-founded the Native Women's Collective\, a nonprofit organization that supports the continued revitalization of Native American arts and culture.

Studies on the molecular details of the interaction between nanoparticles and biological nanosystems are crucial for obtaining information on the mechanisms of the possible outcomes of these nanomaterials\, such as cytotoxicity\, biological accumulation\, and long-term effects. In this talk\, we will introduce a recent model that we are developing to help understand and predict the interaction between carbonaceous nanoparticles and biological membrane based on the molecular structural information. The model presents in detail how molecular properties of nanoparticles such as size\, shape and chemical properties affect the organization of the nanoparticles in the membrane\, as well how different components in the membrane affect the selectivity on nanoparticles. This critical information is helpful for designing engineered nanoparticles that are biocompatible\, bioavailable for different environmental and biological applications.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520835@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:20180921T133450 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181014T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181014T230000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Hineinu – Here We Are: An LGBTQ+ Jewish Photovoice Exhibit DESCRIPTION:A same-sex Jewish marriage contract (Ketubah). 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.

Now\, as the Grammy Award–winning Okee Dokee Brothers\, they have put this passion for the outdoors at the heart of their Americana Folk music. Joe and Justin record and perform family music with a goal to inspire children and their parents to get outside and get creative! They believe this can motivate kids to gain a greater respect for the natural world\, their communities and themselves. The four-time Parents’ Choice Award winners have garnered praise from the likes of NPR’s All Things Considered and USA Today\, and have been called “two of family music’s best songwriters.” UID:53362-13349560@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53362 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181009T121521 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181014T140000 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.

I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images\, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals\, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape\, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and\, in this way\, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.\n\nI use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active\, forceful agent\, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity\; hopefully\, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.\n\nWhen making art for public spaces\, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content\, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece\, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture\, ecosystem\, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice\, in turn\, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework\, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

However\, cooperation is inherently risky since by participating we make ourselves dependent on the cooperative acts of others which may or may not occur. The last decades have seen a surge of investigations into the psychological mechanisms that help people overcome these risks. A central proposition that has arisen from this research is that social interdependence may be an important evolutionary and proximate source of expectations and motivations that contribute to human cooperative success (Robert\, 2005\; Tomasello et al.\, 2012\; Sterelny\, 2012). In this talk\, I will present research that addresses this issue from a developmental perspective by examining the role of social interdependence in children’s cooperative decision making. The results suggest that by at least age 7 children hold the expectation that interactions marked by social interdependence will be mutually beneficial which enables them coordinate their decisions with one another even without communicating. A second study with German and Kenyan 5- to 6-year-olds using a cooperative version of the famous marshmallow task indicates that social interdependence facilitates children’s motivation to invest effort in cooperative activities. Together\, these findings provide developmental and cross-cultural evidence for the importance of social interdependence in shaping human cooperative psychology.

It will focus in particular on the specific terminology used in the Qur’an and Hadith—in particular the terms tamathil (figural likenesses)\, asnam (idols)\, and ansab (sacred stones or betyls)—in order to distinguish the semantic and conceptual categories that were used by Muslim writers to classify various forms of art-making along with their associated practices. Such terms were further finessed within historical and jurisprudential writings\, in which the Solomonic\, Abrahamic\, and Mosaic paradigms concerning statuary and idols served to both legitimize figural statuary while simultaneously castigating three-dimensional and even pendant imagery as potentially subject to devotional worship. In the majority of texts\, images were not understood as prohibited per se. Rather\, their modalities of display and use proved of paramount significance within the perennial debates concerned with image-making\, as is the case in all global religious cultures. Skirting the “broad swath” method\, this talk thus aims to pinpoint some the finer issues raised by the textual corpus as it intersects with artworks and paintings in order to demonstrate that practices of figural representation in Islamic traditions most often were (and still are) guided by cultural and political expediency rather than religious or legal principle.\n\nChristiane Gruber is Professor of Islamic Art and Associate Chair in the History of Art Department at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Her research interests span medieval Islamic art to contemporary visual culture. She has authored two books on Islamic texts and images of the Prophet Muhammad’s ascension and has edited about a dozen volumes on Islamic book arts\, ascension texts and images\, and visual and material culture. Her third book\, entitled The Praiseworthy One: The Prophet Muhammad in Islamic Texts and Images\, will appear in print in January 2019.

In the vast majority of these reactions\, the appended methyl group derives from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and is attached most often to nitrogen and oxygen nucleophiles through a polar SN2 mechanism\, although carbon\, sulfur\, and a variety of other nucleophilic atoms also receive SAM-derived methyl groups. Recently\, it has become apparent that SAM is used to methylate non-reactive carbon and phosphorus atoms by mechanisms involving radical intermediates. To date\, these reactions are catalyzed exclusively by radical SAM enzymes\, a superfamily of enzymes that use an iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster to catalyze a reductive cleavage of SAM to methionine and the potent oxidant 5’-deoxyadenosin 5’-radical (5’-dA•). There are at least five subclasses of radical SAM methylases. Class B methylases represent the largest subclass\, and use cobalamin to methylate both sp2- and sp3-hybridized carbon centers or phosphinate phosphorus centers during the biosynthesis of numerous biomolecules\, including natural products with antibiotic and anticancer activities. This lecture will focus on two Class B radical SAM methylases involved in the biosynthesis of antibacterial agents. Fom3\, which performs a key step in the biosynthesis of the broad-spectrum antibiotic fosfomycin\, catalyzes the methylation of the sp3-hybridized C2’’ carbon of cytidylyl-2-hydroxyethylphosphonate to yield cytidylyl-2-hydroxypropylphosphonate. By contrast\, TsrM catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of the quinaldic acid moiety of the thiopeptide antibiotic thiostrepton\, which is the methylation of the sp2-hybridized C2 carbon of the indole ring of L-tryptophan. As will be discussed\, while both Fom3 and TsrM are cobalamin-dependent radical SAM methylases\, they use two distinctly different strategies to catalyze their reactions. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSquire Booker (The Pennsylvania State University) UID:51068-11953412@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51068 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180907T134438 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181015T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181015T190000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Annual Copernicus Lecture. Contemporary Poland Fighting for Democracy DESCRIPTION:In the 2018 Copernicus Lecture\, Barbara Nowacka will discuss the ongoing challenges to democracy in Poland and Polish civil society’s resistance to them. \n\nBarbara Nowacka is a feminist\, politician\, and progressive activist. She is chancellor of the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology in Warsaw\, holds an MBA\, and is an IT specialist by education. Nowacka is a member of the Women’s Congress National Council and chair of the progressive association “Initiative Poland.” She is also co-founder and deputy chair of the Izabela Jaruga-Nowacka Foundation\, an organization which aims to promote equality\, social justice\, and social inclusion. Nowacka headed the election committee for the “United Left” coalition during the 2015 Polish parliamentary election\, and from 2015-17 she was a co-chair of the “Twój Ruch” political party. In 2016 and 2017 she organized and chaired the “Save Women” initiative\, a civil bill which aimed to liberalize abortion laws in Poland. In October 2016\, in response to an attempt by the political right to implement a total ban on abortion\, Nowacka became a leading figure in the “Czarny Protest” action\, a massive nationwide demonstration which ultimately succeeded in forcing the political right to back down. For her role in “Czarny Protest\,” Nowacka was ranked one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers of 2016 by Foreign Policy magazine. \n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520837@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:20181010T063043 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181016T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181016T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Find Your Future In Saline Job Fair DESCRIPTION:FIND YOUR FUTURE IN SALINE!

I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images\, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals\, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape\, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and\, in this way\, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.\n\nI use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active\, forceful agent\, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity\; hopefully\, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.\n\nWhen making art for public spaces\, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content\, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece\, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture\, ecosystem\, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice\, in turn\, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework\, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

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

'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka.

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

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

For some drugs\, such as small molecules\, extensive data are available to define empirical ‘rules’ to help guide development of early screening hits to avoid attrition at later stages. However\, for new\, more advanced therapeutics\, sufficient data are not available for empirical guidance. Because of their more complex structures\, many of these agents have transport limitations within the body. These include the transient kinetics of an imaging agent reaching its target and washing out of the background or a macromolecular therapeutic trying to navigate its way through the tumor microenvironment and bind a receptor\, either inside or outside the cell. \n\n\nOur lab uses predictive computational transport simulations to guide the design of these agents without the need for a priori data. I will outline several examples where these transport limitations give rise to counter-intuitive results. These include i) the design of antibody-drug \nconjugates\, where lower potency can result in higher tumor killing\, ii) directed evolution of stabilized alpha helical peptides where lower cellular efficacy can more efficiently hit currently ‘undruggable’ targets in the body\, and iii) use of high charge density to improve oral\nabsorption and targeting of a ‘disease screening pill.’ By incorporating these predictive\, multiscale simulations – from the molecular level to the whole organism scale – we can use molecular engineering to help design novel therapeutics and imaging agents rather than develop them through costly trial-and-error.

In particular\, the spliceosome protein SF3B1\, which helps identify the boundary of introns\, is frequently mutated in hematologic cancers. Notably\, SF3B1 is also the common target of several bacterial natural products that were first identified in screens for drugs that kill cancer cells. We are investigating the structure-activity relationships of three different classes of SF3B1 inhibitors. Some analogs that are inactive for splicing inhibition nevertheless compete with their active counterparts\, which suggests that drug binding alone is not sufficient to interfere with splicing. Furthermore\, the competition of inactive and active compounds holds between different classes of inhibitors\, supporting shared pharmacophores. We are now using these compounds as tools to explore the role of SF3B1 in splice site identification and fidelity\, as well as in structural transitions required for spliceosome assembly. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMelissa Jurica (UC Santa Cruz) UID:51622-12173406@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51622 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chem CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180907T093512 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181016T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181016T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UROP Excel Basics Workshop DESCRIPTION:This workshop is for UROP students only.

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:52176-12520838@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:20190730T143156 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181017T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181017T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Modeling Dark Energy Observations in the Nonlinear Regime DESCRIPTION:Dragan Huterer (LCTP)\, Yuanyuan Zhang (Fermilab) UID:64729-16436931@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64729 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Physics Workshop,Science,Winter 2019 LOCATION:Randall Laboratory CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180905T154008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181017T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181017T103000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Defining the hierarchy through which the epigenetic identify of T cells is established DESCRIPTION:2018 Cell & Developmental Biology Series Seminar Series\n\nHosted by:\nDoug Engel\, Deneen Wellik UID:53491-13390336@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53491 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biosciences LOCATION:Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building - Seminar Rooms A,B&C CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181004T123250 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181017T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181017T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Nancy Blum\, RC Class of '85 DESCRIPTION:RC alumna '85 Nancy Blum returns to East Quad to exhibit her drawings of flowers and to deliver the 10/19 Robertson Lecture on her public art installations. \n\nExcerpted from her artist statement:\nMy large‐scale works on paper\, rendered in ink\, colored pencil\, gouache and graphite\, portray a fantastic realm in which flowers own the space. I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images\, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals\, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape\, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and\, in this way\, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.\n\nI use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active\, forceful agent\, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity\; hopefully\, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.\n\nWhen making art for public spaces\, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content\, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece\, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture\, ecosystem\, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice\, in turn\, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework\, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

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

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

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

Here\, we discuss several studies that in different ways address the precision with which organ size can be controlled. We first show that there are severe limits to the coordination of the sizes of left and right organs (like the left and right wings of a fruit fly) by chemical signals\, suggesting that organ size is set primarily autonomously. We then consider the noisy dynamics of the growth of individuals tissues in presence of various feedback laws. We find that only certain forms of mechanical feedback can specify a unique organ size. We also show that\, even in the simplest\, homogeneous case\, stochastic growth of an elastic tissue has unexpectedly rich behavior: For example\, it exhibits power law correlation functions\, reminiscent of those seen in cosmological models\, and soft modes that allow for diffusive growth of labelled clones of cells.\n UID:56711-13969926@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56711 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181009T152549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181017T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181017T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Faculty Speaker #1 - Exploring the Teaching Side of Academia discussions DESCRIPTION:ASEE is hosting a conversation with Professor Glenn Lipscomb from University of Toledo on the balance between research and teaching.

Existing results on monotonicity require conditions on the output distribution (namely\, the monotone likelihood ratio property (MLRP)) and additional conditions to guarantee that agent’s decision is approachable via the first-order approach of replacing that problem with its first-order conditions. We know of no positive monotonicity results in the setting where the first-order approach does not apply. Indeed\, it is well documented that when there are finitely many possible outputs\, and the first-order approach does not apply\, the MLRP alone is insufficient to guarantee monotonicity. However\, we show that when there is an interval of possible output signals\, the MLRP does suffice to establish monotonicity under additional technical assumptions that do not guarantee the validity of the first-order approach. To establish this result we examine necessary optimality conditions for moral hazard problems using a novel penalty function approach. We then manipulate these conditions and provide sufficient conditions for when they coincide with a simple version of the moral hazard problem with only two constraints. In this two-constraint problem\, monotonicity is established directly via a strong characterization of its optimal solutions.\n\nBio: Chris is an Associate Professor of Operations Management at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and studies the theory of optimization (including infinite-dimensional\, discrete\, and stochastic) with applications to theoretical economics (contract theory\, game theory\, and mechanism design)\, decision problems in the digital economy (particularly video games and apps)\, and healthcare operations management.
