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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Whether it was rafting down their neighborhood creek or discovering hiking trails through the Rocky Mountains\, Joe and Justin were born adventurers. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

'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.

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.

Another look at Haydn’s playful (mis)use of cadential formulas and at processes of cadential liquidation in late 18th-century repertoires can shed light\, it is argued\, on listening’s imbrication in the psychotechnological capture and manipulation of affective labor under neoliberalism today.

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.

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.

Some of the reasons suggested for this recession have been a disillusionment with the prevailing democratic models that\, for all their benefits\, often limit popular participation. The banner of participatory democracy has been hoisted by social movements\, by scholars from different disciplines and has also made an appearance in cultural production. This conference proposes to look into what role culture plays in broaching possible crises of the democratic model\, how culture participates in the discussion of current democratic models in the cultural and linguistic spheres\, and how culture can strengthen and/or expand democracy. The concept of democracy is understood here as a broad umbrella theme that implies different paradigms of belonging and social inclusion and applies to various disciplines.\n\nKeynote speakers will include: Alexandra Lucas Coelho (Portuguese writer)\, Luiz Ruffato (Brazilian writer)\, Sidney Chalhoub (Brazilian historian\, Harvard University)\, and Kalaf Epalanga (Angolan-Portuguese writer and musician)\n\nThe full conference schedule and registration information are available on the APSA website:\n\nhttp://apsa.us/apsa-international-conference-2018/\n\nEnglish/Portuguese UID:56413-13896809@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56413 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Africa,Film,Latin America,Literature,Multicultural,Music,Portuguese LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)

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:52176-12520839@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:20181102T063024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181018T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181018T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Meet Mortenson at SWE National Conference DESCRIPTION:Mortenson is a family-owned\, privately-held corporation.

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.

Prof. Pozzi is the director of the Consortium for Verification Technology\, a consortium of 12 universities and 9 national laboratories dedicated to the development of new technologies for nuclear treaty verification.\n\nSince the discovery of fission\, nuclear chain reactions\, and nuclear weapons\, preventing the spread of nuclear weapons has become a top priority for our nation and the world. Several international treaties have been put into place to curb the expansion of nuclear capabilities. Nevertheless\, there are states that may be pursuing elements of an overt or covert nuclear weapons program. New science and technology developments are needed to verify the existing or proposed treaties in this area and to ensure that nuclear weapons are never used again.\n\nThis is the last of a six-lecture series.

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.

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

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

In so doing\, they set in motion a series of forces that dramatically reshaped the ritual means by which urban residents mediated their relationship with their physical environment and with the increasingly agitated superhuman world. In this talk I shall argue that a series of aural anomalies recorded in the court histories illustrates a remarkable shift in the ritual means by which the court engaged its newly-built environment of wooden structures that went bump in the night.\n\nMichael Como (B.A.\, Harvard\; Ph.D.\, Stanford University)\, is the Tōshū Fukami Associate Professor of Shinto Studies at Columbia University. His research focuses on the religious history of the Japanese islands from the Asuka through the early Heian periods\, with a particular focus upon the Chinese and Korean deities\, rites and technological systems that were transmitted to the Japanese islands during this time. He is currently working on a new monograph that focuses upon urbanization and the materiality of Japanese ritual performance and interpretation in the eighth and ninth centuries.

Our group has been working on developing a facile route to access inorganic/organic hybrid aromatic species via ring insertion reactions with anti-aromatic BC4 heterocycles\, namely boroles. The insertion chemistry has been effective for the preparation of 1\,2-azaborine\, 1\,2-phoaphaborine\, 1\,2-oxaborine\, and 1\,2-thiaborine heteroarenes which all have lower band gaps\, red-shifted absorbances\, and larger dipole moments in comparison to their carbonaceous counterpart\, benzene. Ongoing efforts are focused on enhancing the electronic properties of these boracycles to explore their utility in electronic materials. Our current strategy is to extend conjugation in the inorganic/organic hybrid arenes by utilizing borole-based starting materials with conjugation installed. The mechanisms of these reactions and properties of the boracycles will be discussed. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCaleb Martin (Baylor University) UID:55724-13777498@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55724 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181012T093816 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181018T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181018T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Trait-based approaches to plankton ecology & evolution DESCRIPTION:NOTE TIME & LOCATION CHANGE\n\nAbstract\nTrait-based approaches are increasingly seen as a way to reduce the complexity of ecological communities and to incorporate functional diversity in ecosystem models. In this talk I will present Elena Litchman's and my lab's work applying trait-based ideas to marine and freshwater plankton communities. First\, I will describe empirical patterns in the resource utilization and thermal traits we found using meta-analyses of published eco-physiological traits. Second\, I will discuss trait-based approaches to modeling ecological and eco-evolutionary dynamics and how they can enhance our understanding of community structure in heterogeneous environments. Finally\, I will describe recent theory on how local selection and immigration from the regional species pool interact to determine distribution of commonness and rarity in ecological communities and an experimental test.

She published a single collection of short fiction in 1919 that was dismissed by some critics for its embrace of prose narrative techniques that made her more akin to Flaubert than to Sholem Aleichem. The lore about Shtok is that traumatized by negative reviews\, she died in an asylum. However\, this was not true: she continued to write in Yiddish\, and died in LA years after news of her tragic death. This talk offers a revised account of Yiddish modernism\, one that acknowledges the centrality of woman to the modern Jewish revolution.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

The capability to change configuration during use of a system offers dramatically improved performance by replacing the single static geometry that represents a compromise across use cases left unattended to complete its design life\, with a state-changing system capable of a range of geometries each customized for the particular operating condition. The presentation will touch on the complexity added with incorporating active means to control formerly passive components\, and the ensuing need for sensing and intelligence. \n\nApplying any new technology to aviation involves a number of technical\, financial\, cultural and regulatory challenges. Applying to rotary-wing propulsion introduces yet more. The presentation will address the relationship between the push by researchers and developers to insert new technology\, the pull required by operators and users\, and the variety and impacts of risks on the perspective of each. \n\nThe presentation will address the challenges to be overcome for rotary-wing adaptation in aviation\, some of them in work and some still ahead\, in the context of nature’s aviation examples and the history of manufactured morphing aircraft.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nDaniel Newman is a Senior Technical Fellow of the Boeing Company in aircraft configuration design and development. He serves as Chief Engineer for the Advanced Vertical Lift organization in Defense\, Space\, and Security\, responsible for the technical integrity of research for a full range of runway independent technologies\, products and services including rotorcraft\, tiltrotor and powered lift aircraft.

Take Up and Impacts of Digital Loans in Kenya DESCRIPTION:Developing world lenders are taking advantage of fintech tools to create fully digital loans on mobile phones. We investigate the take up and impacts of one of the most popular digital loan products\, M-Shwari in Kenya\, using a regression discontinuity design. While 34% of those eligible for the loan take it\, this does not substitute for other formal or informal credit. The loans improve household resilience against shocks and increase their propensity to spend on education. These digital loans could therefore be an important way to improve financial access\, but they are not a panacea for greater credit market failures.

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.

She explores the troubling questions of how to document life and what is worthy of preservation. Poor’s early work captured the various commonplace ways that individuals leave their marks on the world\, including fingerprints\, stains\, human hair\, and dryer lint. In 2011\, Poor’s driving question\, “what is worthy of preservation?” led her to San Quentin State Prison to teach classes on the history of photography for the Prison University Project. This experience changed the focus of her practice and the visual presentation of her ideas. She now spends the majority of her “studio” time inside the prison working with a group of mostly lifers on photographic projects and producing radio stories about life inside via her radio show and podcast\, Ear Hustle. Poor’s work has been shown at many institutions\, including the San Jose Museum of Art\, the Institute of Contemporary Art in San Jose\, Friends of Photography\, SF Camerawork\, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art\, the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego\, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C.\, and the Haines Gallery in San Francisco.\n\nSupported by the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP) and U-M Institute for the Humanities.

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.

Moss discusses his penetrating book that documents and analyzes US-Soviet back channels from Nixon’s inauguration through what has widely been heralded as the apex of détente\, the May 1972 Moscow Summit. Nixon’s Back Channel to Moscow reveals the behind-the-scenes deliberations of Nixon\, his advisors\, and their Soviet counterparts and assesses the central role of confidential diplomacy in shaping America’s foreign policy during this critical era. \nOver the course of his presidency\, Nixon worked to achieve détente - - the relaxing of tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union - - largely through a back-channel diplomatic relationship between Henry Kissinger\, Nixon’s national security advisor\, and Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin. But Nixon was also wary of press leaks and distrustful of traditional channels of diplomacy\, and would intentionally exclude other parts of the government\, including his own secretary of state. Moss suggests that while Nixon’s back channels may have improved U.S.-Soviet relations in the short term\, the Nixon-Kissinger methods provided a poor foundation for lasting policy. \nRichard Moss is an Associate Research Professor at the United States Naval War College’s Center for Naval Warfare Studies\, and specializes in U.S.-Soviet relations during the Cold War and is an expert on the Nixon presidential recordings.\nFree Admission.

Some of the reasons suggested for this recession have been a disillusionment with the prevailing democratic models that\, for all their benefits\, often limit popular participation. The banner of participatory democracy has been hoisted by social movements\, by scholars from different disciplines and has also made an appearance in cultural production. This conference proposes to look into what role culture plays in broaching possible crises of the democratic model\, how culture participates in the discussion of current democratic models in the cultural and linguistic spheres\, and how culture can strengthen and/or expand democracy. The concept of democracy is understood here as a broad umbrella theme that implies different paradigms of belonging and social inclusion and applies to various disciplines.\n\nKeynote speakers will include: Alexandra Lucas Coelho (Portuguese writer)\, Luiz Ruffato (Brazilian writer)\, Sidney Chalhoub (Brazilian historian\, Harvard University)\, and Kalaf Epalanga (Angolan-Portuguese writer and musician)\n\nThe full conference schedule and registration information are available on the APSA website:\n\nhttp://apsa.us/apsa-international-conference-2018/\n\nEnglish/Portuguese UID:56413-13896810@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56413 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Africa,Film,Latin America,Literature,Multicultural,Music,Portuguese LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)

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:52176-12520840@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:20181016T082756 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181019T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181019T160000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:LACS Field Research Grant Symposium DESCRIPTION:The LACS Field Research Grants are funded by the Rackham Graduate School\, the LACS Brazil Initiative\, and the International Institute to support graduate students conducting preliminary fieldwork in Latin America.

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.

To achieve this overall goal\, I investigate an important theory that models the interaction between memory and sentence processing\, known as cue-based memory retrieval theory\, which assumes that a comprehender uses information as retrieval cues to identify meaningful language chunks with matching features in declarative memory. In this chapter\, I review two main challenges of the cue-based retrieval theory\, and briefly discuss the way this thesis addresses them. The last section of the chapter reviews the reason why such challenges are raised in the previous studies\, as well as the solutions that have been previously proposed to address these challenges\, and why these solutions are not satisfactory.\n\nAbout Us\nLanguage and Rhetorical Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, is an interdisciplinary graduate student organization that focuses on the intersection of language and rhetoric.

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.

Meanwhile\, it also brings data analysis challenges due to massive high dimensional data with spatial and temporal heterogeneity and complex functional dependencies. This talk will first present the research opportunities and challenges of data analytics for smart manufacturing. Examples of ongoing research on methodological developments and their applications will be discussed with the emphasis on information integration for data driven optimal decision making. Specifically\, it includes (1) integrating computer simulation model calibration using limited physical tests with optimal robust design\; (2) integrating warranty data analysis with the design of accelerated life testing for improving reliability prediction and customer satisfaction\; (3) integrative analysis of process sensing signals and product quality measurements for optimal decision-making in monitoring\, inferring\, and controlling manufacturing processes. The related data analytics methods will be discussed\, including high-order tensor data analysis for multistream functional data/images\, multiscale data transforms for data dimension reduction of nonstationary waveform signals\, a regularized hierarchical variable selection method for combing the two steps of sensor selection and the signal features extraction together\, employing the transfer learning technique for knowledge sharing among the similar processes\, SPC supervised predictive control for defects prevention\, etc. Some discussions will also be given on how the developed methodologies have been applied in automotive\, metal forming and semiconductor manufacturing to show the essential need for multidisciplinary integration efforts.\n\nBio\nJionghua (Judy) Jin is currently a professor in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering and the Director of Manufacturing Engineering Program at the University of Michigan.

Television in Post-Reform Vietnam: Nation\, Media\, Market DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr Giang Nguyen-Thu will discuss her forthcoming book Television in Post-Reform Vietnam: Nation\, Media\, Market by Routledge (2018). Since the country’s economic reform in 1986\, Vietnamese television has experienced a tremendous shift from a purely propagandist tool of the Party-State into an all-pervasive medium of popular culture. The dynamics of Vietnamese television\, however\, is completely neglected in the field of international television studies\, shadowed by the Western assumption of Vietnam being an oppressed land without media freedom. In her book\, Dr Giang Nguyen-Thu seeks to challenge such reductionist assumption to reveal the effects of popular television in recreating the sense of national belonging in Vietnam. This book explores how various genres of popular television\, including television dramas\, talk shows and reality shows\, alter the way Vietnamese people make sense of and organize their post-Reform lives\, and how these new genres enable a new condition of cultural oppression as well as political engagement in the name of the nation. In sharp contrast to the previous image of Vietnam as a war-torn land\, post-Reform Vietnamese television conjures into being a new sense of national connectedness based on an implicit refusal of the socialist past\, hopes on peace and marketization\, and anxieties of the globalized future. \n \nDr. Giang Nguyen-Thu is a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication\, Annenberg School of Communication\, University of Pennsylvania. She also serves as an on-leave lecturer at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities\, Vietnam National University\, Hanoi. She had her doctoral degree at the University of Queensland (2016) in the field of media and cultural studies. Her book Television in Post-Reform Vietnam: Nation\, Media\, Market is to be published by Routledge in 2018. She is now interested in the emotional politics of social media in Vietnam. Her current research investigates how Vietnamese mothers use Facebook to navigate in an emerging economy of precarity caused by the widespread panic related to environment and food toxicity. Similar to her works on Vietnamese television\, this research is informed by Giang’s interest in cultural globalization as situated mediation processes between global logics and local concerns\, whose effects much excess the way the Western world often imagines of the Vietnamese media environment. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

We study this problem in the stochastic block model context by testing H0: Erdos-Renyi model vs. H1: stochastic block model. This problem serves as the foundation for many other problems including the testing-based methods for determining the number of communities and community detection. Results will be presented for both ordinary graphs as well as hypergraphs where each edge contains more than two vertices. A comprehensive study is conducted for a wide spectrum of edge (or hyperedge) density scenarios. In particular\, the joint impact of signal-to-noise ratio and the number of communities on the asymptotic results is unveiled. The proposed testing procedures are examined by both simulated and real-world network datasets. The talk is based on joint work with Mingao Yuan\, Ruiqi Liu\, and Zuofeng Shang.

Queer Liminality: Gender and Sexuality in Raafat Hattab’s \"Ho(u)ria\" DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sascha Crasnow is lecturer of Islamic art in the Residential College at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in art history\, theory\, and criticism from the University of California San Diego in 2018. Her current book manuscript\, \"After the Intifadas: Art in the Age of Disillusionment\,\" examines shifts in contemporary art production in the post-Second Intifada period among Palestinian artists living and making work within historic Palestine. This project\, which is based on her dissertation research\, has been solicited by Duke University Press. \n \nWorkshop Topic: \nFor LGBTQ individuals in Palestine\, issues of gender and sexuality are inherently intertwined with their positions as individuals living under occupation. This is perhaps most notably visible through the eliding of Israel’s human rights abuses against Palestinians by Brand Israel (the primary pro-Israel propaganda project) through a portrayal of Israel as the singular gay-friendly\, culturally progressive Middle Eastern country—a practice that has been termed “pinkwashing.” For Palestinians living within the state of Israel who identify as queer\, they may feel caught between two societies into which they do not fit: Israeli society\, where they are an outcast because of their Palestinianness\, and Palestinian society\, where they are an outcast because of their gender expression or sexuality. This leaves some individuals in a state of twofold liminality. In this paper\, I utilize this notion of liminality as relates to the trans* experience discussed by Diane Dentice and Michelle Dietert to examine Ho(u)ria (2010)\, a video work by genderqueer Palestinian artist Raafat Hattab. Haatab’s video alternates between three scenes: a mermaid (Hattab) on the beach\, Hattab’s aunt telling the story of her family’s expulsion from their homes during the Nakba (Arabic for “catastrophe” referring to the formation of Israel and expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians)\, and Hattab getting a tattoo of Arabic calligraphy on his chest. While on the surface appearing disparate\, these three scenes all speak to the intrinsically interwoven nature of liminality\, the omission of certain voices from the nationalist struggle\, and the persistent fight for liberation\, as embodied by the work’s title—houria\, meaning mermaid\, and horia\, meaning freedom. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to islamicstudies@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Simon proposed\, instead\, that people “satisfice\,” choosing “good enough” rather than the best options. The maximizing challenge is exacerbated when choice sets are large\, as is the case with most of the decisions people face in modern\, affluent societies. More recent work has identified individual differences in decision making\, with some people aiming to maximize and others aiming to satisfice. Maximizers make better decisions than satisficers\, but feel worse about them. In this talk\, I will suggest that the goal of maximizing is not just a psychological mistake\, but an epistemological one—that often it is not possible. I will also present new empirical work that shows that when choice sets are large\, people view choices as self-expressive\, making even seemingly trivial decisions (e.g.\, what jeans to buy) into significant ones\, and that when this happens\, it enhances the tendency to maximize in making these decisions. In other words\, large choice sets raise the stakes of decisions\, turning people into maximizers\, which results in less satisfying decisions. I will finally suggest that perhaps viewing the self as “achieved” rather than as “ascribed\,” or the self as “incremental” rather than as an “entity” may be a mixed psychological blessing. If there is a secret to happiness\, it may be\, as Aristotle said\, in finding the mean between too much freedom and too little—between standards that are too high and standards that are too low. Chris Peterson taught us many invaluable lessons about happiness in his distinguished career\, and I do not think he would be surprised by this one.

We surveyed a large sample of Democrats and Republicans who visit Twitter at least three times each week about a range of social policy issues. One week later\, we randomly assigned respondents to a treatment condition in which they were offered financial incentives to follow a Twitter bot for one month that exposed them to messages produced by elected officials\, organizations\, and other opinion leaders with opposing political ideologies. Respondents were re-surveyed at the end of the month to measure the effect of this treatment\, and at regular intervals throughout the study period to monitor treatment compliance. We find that Republicans who followed a liberal Twitter bot became substantially more conservative post-treatment\, and Democrats who followed a conservative Twitter bot became slightly more liberal post-treatment. These findings have important implications for the interdisciplinary literature on political polarization as well as the emerging field of computational social science.

These have\nspanned the normative\, the naturalistic\, and the social constructivist\, for\ninstance. I argue that disease is not a stable\, univocal concept with a\ncorrect definition that can be uncovered or even usefully stipulated.\nRather\, the concept of disease shows up in deeply competing projects with\ndifferent practical and epistemic goals\, and what counts as a disease\nvaries accordingly. There is no reason to think we have\, or should have\,\neven roughly consistent notions of health and disease underlying these\ndifferent projects. There are a messy host of competing strategic reasons\nto classify something as a disease or to resist doing so\; accordingly\, that\nsomething is a disease is often a contingent\, historically dependent\,\ncontext dependent\, perhaps temporary fact about it. Any neater story we try\nto tell will occlude some of the important purposes that categorizing\nsomething as a disease can serve\, and the complex harms and benefits that\ncan come with this categorization.

From analogy to protein folding\, it is natural to expect that finding stable vacua is computationally hard\, in the sense of complexity theory. However\, I will demonstrate that this is the case even for metastable vacua. The problem is exacerbated in string theory\, since setting up the hard problem of finding string vacua requires actually computing the scalar potential in a controlled regime. Such computations involve solving instances of computationally hard problems. Cosmological implications will be discussed in light of a recently proposed measure that utilizes computational complexity.

Recent observations have underscored the importance of understanding the mechanics of glacier beds by showing that the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are losing ice mass at increasing rates due to accelerating ice flow. Many glaciers exhibiting significant acceleration are flowing rapidly due to slip at the ice-bed interface\, but the relationship between the rate of slip and the drag force at the bed remains unclear. This knowledge gap inhibits our ability to make reliable projections of eustatic sea-level rise and has persisted because of a lack of observations. This talk will focus on how recent observations can be leveraged to develop a deeper understanding of the mechanical properties of glacier beds. I will begin by describing a new method for deriving time-dependent\, three-dimensional surface velocity fields from remote sensing data\, and then presenting first-of-their-kind results from a natural experiment in which the flow of a major ice stream (Rutford Ice Stream) in West Antarctica responds periodically to forcing from ocean tides. These data allow us to observe and quantify the rate of propagation and decay of stress perturbations. After discussing the data\, I will present a physical model that relates the observed spatiotemporal variations in surface velocity to the mechanics of the bed. These results provide fresh insight into the mechanics of a prototypical Antarctic outlet glacier. I will conclude the talk by discussing how the approach may form a potential strategy for using the growing volume of time-dependent remote sensing data to help improve projections of future glacier states.

Organic synthesis involves the cleavage of a chemical bond and the formation of a new chemical bond. However\, not all of the chemical bonds in organic molecules have been used in organic synthesis. Thus\, organic synthesis is heavily dependent on the reactivity of chemical bonds. If so-called unreactive bonds were to be used directly in organic synthesis\, new possibilities for developing new synthetic methodologies would arise. We have utilized\, not only the activation of C-H bonds\, but also the activation of unreactive single bonds\, such as C-C\, C-O\, C-N\, and C-F bonds\, and the activation of C-C triple bonds and C-O double bonds\, in our quest to develop new types of transformations that will lead to further diversification in the field of organic synthesis. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nNaoto Chatani (Osaka University) UID:52879-13094886@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52879 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181009T172734 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181019T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181019T170000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Academic Year in Freiburg 2019/2020 DESCRIPTION:This event is about our study-abroad program in beautiful Freiburg that helps you expedite the process of completing requirements for German (and other majors).\n\nYou will learn about the structure\, accommodation\, classes\, and the history/fascination of Freiburg.\n\nEligibility:\n* Minimum 3.0 GPA\n* Good academic standing\n* Sophomore\, Junior\, or Senior standing by Fall 2019\n* Completion of German 232 or equivalent prior to September 2019\n* Open to University of Michigan-Ann Arbor students only\n\nApplication Website:\nhttps://mcompass.umich.edu/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.ViewProgram&Program_ID=10247 UID:56560-13997140@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Language,Study Abroad,Undergraduate LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - 3308 (Conference Room) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181103T123020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181019T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Amazon Employer Challenge DESCRIPTION:THIS APPLICATION HAS NOW CLOSED. \n\nIF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT OPERATIONS POSITIONS AT AMAZON\, PLEASE CONSIDER ATTENDING THEIR INFORMATION SESSION ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE STUDENT ACTIVITIES BUILDING ON FRIDAY\, OCTOBER 19TH AT 3PM.

Trautmann Honorary Lecture | Conflict\, Violence and Resistance in Ancient India DESCRIPTION:Our understanding of the past changes dramatically when we recognize violence as an intimate and important part of human experience that demands the historian’s attention. It is well known that the origins\, sustenance and expansion of states involve the use of coercive power. This lecture looks at conflict\, violence and resistance in the context of the politics of ancient India. Moving between political ideas and practice\, I focus on three themes. The first is a general discussion of the relationship between the state and violence. The second extends the analysis to the social sphere\, examining how theories of kingship legitimized the state’s violence against its subjects\; the state’s powers to impose punishment\, torture and death\; and the connections between politics and sexual violence. The third part of the lecture examines the extent to which the coercive power of the state was accepted\, contested or resisted by various social groups. I also ask whether the exploration of such issues that speak to our own time endows historical inquiry with a greater contemporary relevance\, even urgency\, or whether it threatens to destroy the objectivity that is an essential part of the historian’s craft.\n\nUpinder Singh is Professor of History\, Ashoka University\, Sonepat.

In this talk\, I'd like to ask whether we can find similar evidence for movement in A-constructions. I will spend the bulk of the time reporting three sets of studies that I have run in my own search for evidence of A-movement: a set of judgment studies on ne-cliticization in Italian and ECM in English\; a set of EEG studies on uaccusatives\, passives\, and raising in English\; and a set of hierarchical Bayesian models designed to test for the presence of UTAH during language acquisition (under the assumption that UTAH and A-movement are tightly coupled). In all three sets of studies\, the results so far fail to present strong evidence for A-movement. After reviewing these results\, my hope is to encourage some discussion about (i) what sorts of evidence we would expect to see if A-movement is part of the grammar\, (ii) whether we might need cross-linguistic variation in the presence/absence of A-movement\, and how the current evidence in the (syntactic\, psycholinguistic\, and neurolinguistic) literature stacks up against our expectations.

To this end\, lysosomes rely on their highly acidic luminal pH to promote the function of their many enzymes\, a pH generated by the action of a v-Type proton pumping ATPase. Since this transporter is electrogenic\, parallel ion movements must occur to dissipate the generated membrane potential and promote bulk proton flux. I will present evidence that the Cl-/H+ antiporter\, ClC-7\, plays this role\, moving Cl- to dissipate the lysosomal transmembrane voltage. However\, the function of ClC-7 has been controversial\, with conflicting reports on its contribution to lysosomal acidification. All heretofore known patients with ClC-7 functional mutations have varying degrees of the same disease\, with osteopetrosis sometimes associated with lysosomal storage disease. Here\, we report on two patients with a novel disease manifested as widespread lysosomal dysfunction but no bone abnormalities\, who both have the same missense mutation in ClC-7. We find that fibroblasts from both patients have acidification abnormalities and that heterologously expressed human ClC-7 carrying this mutation displays a novel phenotype under electrophysiological measurements. These findings provide strong support for an important role of ClC-7 in the lysosomal acidification process and suggest opportunities for therapies for these patients.

The lecturer is traditionally a notable alumna/us of the RC\, someone impacting their chosen field(s) in ways congruent with the philosophy of the College. The 2018 Robertson Lecture will be delivered at the Keene Theater in East Quadrangle on October 19th by Nancy Blum\, class of '85\, a Brooklyn-based artist who is known for her public art commissions and works on paper. In addition to graduating from the RC with majors in Psychology and Women’s Studies\, she received an MSW from the U-M School of Social work and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her current work is installed primarily out of the gallery\, not separated from the street but integrated into it\, with a particular interest in sites of transit in cities and within hospital settings. Her recent commissions include medicinal wildflower windows at the San Francisco General Hospital acute care unit\; large\, graceful birds in flights of migration/immigration integrated into three light-rail stations in Minneapolis/St. Paul\; and over-sized yellow flower sculptures sprouting from a rainwater filtration green space at a bus loop outside Philadelphia. \n\nIn her Robertson lecture\, Nancy will share anecdotes about these and other works\, and take us behind the scenes of her in-progress installation at an MTA train station in NYC. She'll explore how her multiple interests take root in public art\, and she'll give us a sense for how she forged her own path as an artist - a journey\, she says\, that began at the Residential College\, notably thanks to mentoring from her ceramics professor\, Susan Crowell. \n\nFollowing the Lecture\, please join us for a reception for the artist at the RC Art Gallery\, located on the first floor of East Quadrangle. Refreshments will be served. An exhibit of Nancy's drawings will be on display at the same gallery through November 9th\, (M-F 10am-5pm\, free admission).\n\nWATCH THIS LECTURE from your internet browser during its simulcast\, 10/19 from 4:30-5:30pm EST at the link below.

Refreshments will be served\, and Nancy will be on site to enjoy conversation with you. \n\nRC 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.

Some of the reasons suggested for this recession have been a disillusionment with the prevailing democratic models that\, for all their benefits\, often limit popular participation. The banner of participatory democracy has been hoisted by social movements\, by scholars from different disciplines and has also made an appearance in cultural production. This conference proposes to look into what role culture plays in broaching possible crises of the democratic model\, how culture participates in the discussion of current democratic models in the cultural and linguistic spheres\, and how culture can strengthen and/or expand democracy. The concept of democracy is understood here as a broad umbrella theme that implies different paradigms of belonging and social inclusion and applies to various disciplines.\n\nKeynote speakers will include: Alexandra Lucas Coelho (Portuguese writer)\, Luiz Ruffato (Brazilian writer)\, Sidney Chalhoub (Brazilian historian\, Harvard University)\, and Kalaf Epalanga (Angolan-Portuguese writer and musician)\n\nThe full conference schedule and registration information are available on the APSA website:\n\nhttp://apsa.us/apsa-international-conference-2018/\n\nEnglish/Portuguese UID:56413-13896811@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56413 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Africa,Film,Latin America,Literature,Multicultural,Music,Portuguese LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)

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

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

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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520841@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:20181020T120031 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181020T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181020T150000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Fall Pumpkin Picking and Bonfire!
