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.

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.

Her research interests include the development of new methods for nuclear materials detection\, identification\, and characterization for nuclear nonproliferation\, nuclear material control and accountability\, nuclear safeguards\, and national security programs. 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. The subject is The Koreas – More Than You Know. The next lecture series starts October 25th and runs through December 6th. The subject is Immigration.

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.

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. 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.

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.

This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.\n\nThis event supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.

Populism and the Erosion of Democracy DESCRIPTION:Populist parties and politicians are surging in both developed and new democracies\, prompting much analytical and popular concern. Their rise is largely due to the failure of mainstream political parties to articulate and respond to popular concerns about immigration\, changing labor markets\, and perceived cultural threats. This talk explains how populists benefited from the shortcomings of mainstream parties\, how they gained power in several countries\, and the consequences of their governance for the formal and informal institutions of liberal democracy.\n\nAnna Grzymala-Busse is the Michelle and Kevin Douglas Professor of International Studies in the Department of Political Science at Stanford University. Her research interests include political parties\, state development and transformation\, informal political institutions\, religion and politics\, and post-communist politics. She is the author of Redeeming the Communist Past\, Rebuilding Leviathan\, and Nations Under God. \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.

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.

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.

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.)

Nuclear energy and nuclear reactions are driving these fires\, and the only way to ever understand how they work is by producing the relevant nuclei here on Earth and studying their properties. For this reason\, among others\, the most powerful particle accelerator in the world\, FRIB\, is currently under construction in the heart of Michigan. When built\, FRIB will finally give us unique access to those nuclei that are responsible for building the whole Universe.

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!

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

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

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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520842@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:20180810T171857 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181021T133000 SUMMARY:Performance:Healing America Tour: T.

In this talk\, I will briefly describe work from my lab examining the role of parenting in the development of antisocial behavior. First\, I will describe a series of studies we have done to examine the development of early callous-unemotional behaviors\, a developmental risk factor for psychopathy. These studies show that callous-unemotional behaviors can be identified in the preschool period and that parenting interacts with genetic background to predict the development of callous-unemotional behaviors. Second\, I will discuss our work linking parenting in early childhood to neural reactivity and risk for antisocial behavior in adolescence and adulthood. Throughout the talk\, I will highlight the ways in which experience and genetic background interact to affect the development of the brain and behavior.

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.

Introduction to MENAS Research Resources & Strategies DESCRIPTION:--- \nThe 2018 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme\, “The Process of Discovery: How Scholars Write Books Today” will discuss how in popular media\, writing is fantastically presented as a process whereby inspiration—a muse— comes to the writer (or fails to). In this fantasy\, writers type fiendishly or crumple up one sheet after another. The reality is at once more complicated and humble than this. Come discover how scholars discover. The colloquium series will feature presentations from CMENAS faculty on their recent book projects and will explore the research process from start to finish. \n--- \n\nLecture Abstract: This workshop will introduce fundamental research resources and strategies for Middle Eastern & North African Studies\, broadly defined. Coverage will include an overview of important sources and bibliographic tools\; methods of identifying\, gathering and citing sources of various types\; and approaches to negotiating practical issues (language\, transliteration\, naming conventions\, dates\, etc) when navigating bibliographic resources and the scholarly literature. \n \nSpeaker Bio:\nEvyn Kropf is Librarian for Middle East Studies and Religious Studies and Curator of the Islamic Manuscripts Collection at the University of Michigan Library where she provides research\, collection\, and instructional support.

In this talk\, I will present 3 recent studies of mine that focused on children’s emotions and the socialization of children’s emotions. First\, I will describe a study where I examined how the interaction of anger and sadness would be related to child persistence drawing on the functional theory of emotions. In the second study\, I will present my research on the intergenerational transmission of emotion regulation\, where my findings support how parents’ own emotion regulation is related to children’s regulation. Third\, I was interested in examining the cultural differences in mothers’ emotion regulation and emotion socialization across the Chinese and American cultures. My findings highlight how social expectations are associated with differences in maternal emotion socialization patterns.

The increase and decrease in synaptic strength\, mediated through the structural plasticity of the spine\, are important for learning\, memory\, and cognitive function. Dendritic spines are small structures that contain the synapse. They come in a variety of shapes (stubby\, thin\, or mushroom-shaped) and a wide range of sizes that protrude from the dendrite. These spines are the regions where the postsynaptic biochemical machinery responds to the neurotransmitters. Spines are dynamic structures\, changing in size\, shape\, and number during development and aging. While spines and synapses have inspired neuromorphic engineering\, the biophysical events underlying synaptic and structural plasticity remain poorly understood.\n\nOur current focus is on understanding the biophysical events underlying structural plasticity. I will discuss two recent efforts from my group - first\, a systems biology approach to construct a mathematical model of biochemical signaling and actin-mediated transient spine expansion in response to calcium influx caused by NMDA receptor activation and second\, a series of spatial models to study the role of spine geometry and organelle location within the spine for calcium and cyclic AMP signaling. I will conclude with some new efforts in using reconstructions from electron microscopy to inform computational domains. I will conclude with how geometry and mechanics plays an important role in our understanding of fundamental biological phenomena and some general ideas on bio-inspired engineering. \n\nBio: Padmini Rangamani is an associate professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California\, San Diego.

In this work we explore the impact of data transformation on the analysis of high-throughput -omics data. Specifically\, we explore two applications were data transformation plays an important role. The first application is estimating cell types using gene expression data. Here we develop dtangle\, a method that carefully considers scale transformations when estimating cell type proportion estimates. This method broadly out-performs existing deconvolution methods in a comprehensive meta-analysis. Secondly\, we explore the role of simple data transformations for the analysis of microenvironment microarray data. In this section we look at simple data transformations and how they interact with visualization\, discovery of latent effects\, and data integration. We find that simple transformations applied alone or in sequence can make salient important aspects of the data.

In this talk\, I will highlight laboratory experiments (including crossed molecular beam experiments on O+O2 and O+CO2 and bulk photochemistry experiments on CO2 and O2 mixtures) and new stratospheric isotope measurements on air collected by aircraft and balloon flights that provide new insight into and constraints on the chemical physics of these unusual isotope effects needed to support their growing application to solving problems in the Earth and environmental sciences across a variety of disciplines. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nKristie Boering (University of California Berkeley) UID:53008-13181201@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53008 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181012T152529 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181022T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181022T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Positive Links Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series\nAffirming the Self to Reduce Conflict\, Stress\, and Underperformance\nDavid Sherman\n\nMonday\, October 22\, 2018\n4:00-5:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nRegister: http://myumi.ch/aAK3W\n\nMichigan Ross Campus\nRoss Building\n701 Tappan \nRobertson Auditorium\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-1234\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people.

Unbalancing the Senses and Sciences of Moving Fascia: Practicing Research DESCRIPTION:Inside of the norming power of \"balance\" as a concept\, lies the layering of balance as a moving-idea of ideal-movement. How \"we\" learn and incorporate the concept-practice of balancing gives shape to our lifeworld in political\, historical\, gymnastic and practical ways. Even the figuring of our \"sense\" of balance within and without \"the five senses\" is consequential for the shaping of ability and disability. Take this simple example: one hand touches another and each feels the skin\, and under the skin\, of each hand. One hand touches another and both change in skin and under the skin. The many senses—of touching\, feeling\, tactility\, thermal\, mechanical\, and kinesthetic impressions\, proprioceptive movement\, weight and balance of self and others\, affective pleasures\, pain\, distention\, tickling\, itching\, tension and tone\, anticipation and inspection—are in flux\, social and cultural\, yet trainable\, extendable\, transformable. Each nameable variable of the experience seems to matter and feedback into the experiment: pressure\, weight\, angle\, movement\, direction\, depth of feel\, intent\, relaxation\, length of time\, sensitivity\, attention. These “senses” complicate the world -- defined by Stengers with Whitehead as that which our senses testify to and raise questions about experimental ethical relations. At a more practical level among those who start thinking conceptually with training\, the effect of ideas about body and movement on the practice of moving has been critically examined as \"ideokinesis\" by Mabel Todd in her 1930s Posture Lab – in which students became taller in a semester of imaginative exercises\, since taken up into the training of dancers. Bourdieu describes this loop of habitus as: history turned into nature. Csordas describes perception itself \"in the midst of arbitrariness and indeterminacy\". Anatomy itself is also put into variation as different groups insist\, discover and practice alternate claims to body “parts” such as “fascia”. Often called connective tissue (the goop or structure between muscles\, organs\, skin\, and cells)\, but also found to be active\, intelligent\, communicative\, and a sensory organ (the “interstitium”)\; sometimes three\, sometimes many and sometimes one\, liquid\, solid and mucus\, fascia stretches between communities of biologists\, massage therapists\, anatomists and pathologists\, yoga and pilates teachers\, doctors and dancers. Palpating these balancing practices and membranes through participant observation and interviews\, experience and experiments\, this work attends to the training of sensitivity and habit across fields of research and training\, structures and sensibilities. \n\nBiosketch: Joseph Dumit is chair of Performance Studies\, and professor of Science & Technology Studies\, and of Anthropology at University of California\, Davis.

These barriers can be addressed by optimizing clinic locations while delivering care that effectively utilizes providers’ practice responsibilities. We present models to evaluate veterans’ eye care facility location options with consideration for overall system access and present a case study in which trained technicians perform visual disease screenings typically conducted by ophthalmologists\, as part of the VA's Technology-based Eye Care Services (TECS) program. In this seminar Dr. April Maa will review eye care in the VA\, including the initiation of the TECS program. Adam VanDeusen will present how this program's utilization can be evaluated using facility location models.\n\nApril Maa\, MD is an Associate Professor at Emory University School of Medicine in the Department of Ophthalmology\, division of comprehensive ophthalmology. She completed her Bachelor of Science in Physiology at McGill University in Montreal\, Canada. Upon graduation from McGill in 2000\, she then attended medical school at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston\, Texas from 2000-2004. Subsequently\, she completed her ophthalmology residency at University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas\, Texas before moving to Atlanta in 2008. She joined Emory and the Atlanta VA in 2008\, where she has remained as an active practicing clinician and clinical researcher. She currently is the Clinical Director of Technology-based Eye Care Services (TECS)\, a tele-ophthalmology program\, for the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 7 Regional Telehealth Service that is based at the Atlanta VA Healthcare System. Dr. Maa began her career in telemedicine around the year 2012 when she first began doing research at the VA on Veterans’ eye disease prevalence and piloting studies to use telemedicine to improve eye care delivery. In 2015\, she was awarded a pilot grant from VA Office of Rural Health to pilot 3 tele-eye sites. TECS was an enormous success\, and has rapidly grown across the country to several states including Missouri\, Omaha\, Montana\, and Illinois. Atlanta currently serves as the national VA ORH National Program Office for TECS spread across the VA enterprise\, receiving approximately $2 million a year to continue to spread tele-ophthalmology across the country. Dr. Maa has received several accolades for her work in telemedicine at the VA including a ‘Honorable Mention’ for TECS by then Undersecretary of Health David Shulkin’s book “The Best Care Everywhere”\; VISN 7 Big Idea Group Competition First Place Winner\, the Mark Wolcott Award for Excellence in Clinical Care Leadership\, and the 2018 Employee of the Year for the Atlanta VA in Scientific Achievement. \n\nAdam VanDeusen is a PhD student in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan working with Dr. Amy Cohn. His research applies operations research methods to public health policy\, primarily access to care. Adam previously worked as a health systems engineer at Mayo Clinic and as Senior Director\, Clinical Programs\, at The Health Management Academy. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan and his Master of Public Health in Chronic Disease Epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health.\n\nThe seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.\nFor additional information and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, \nplease contact genehkim@umich.edu UID:56875-14014908@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56875 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Industrial and Operations Engineering,Medicine,seminar LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering - 1123 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181012T083504 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181022T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181022T173000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Michigan Neuroimaging Initiative: DESCRIPTION:Title: Individual Variations that Predict Propensity for Addictive-like Behavior: How Functional Imaging May Elucidate Susceptibility to Obesity (Beekly)\n\nTitle: Using Functional Imaging to Predict Relapse in Heroin-Addicted Individuals (Iglesias) UID:56696-13967634@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56696 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Talk LOCATION:Undergraduate Science Building - 1230 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181106T123021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181022T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181022T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Are You Linkedin DESCRIPTION:If you are in Handshake\, Click \"Join event\" to RSVP* Not in Handshake?

The capitalist media is trying to channel pro-socialist sentiment toward the Democratic Party and portray it as a mildly reformist program that involves no fundamental change in the allocation of wealth\, let alone the overthrow of existing property relations. It is a “socialism” that can even attract the support of thoughtful and socially conscious investment bankers.\n\nBut socialism can only be realized by the conscious political mobilization of the American and international working class in the greatest revolutionary struggle in history. The working class must prepare itself for this struggle by learning the lessons of the 20th century\, which was the scene of the greatest revolutionary upheavals of history. It must learn the history of the Fourth International\, the revolutionary socialist opposition to Stalinist counter-revolution.\n\nEither the working class carries out the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism or it will be subjected to fascistic dictatorships and catastrophic wars. The political alternative that stands before humanity is not mild reform or the status quo\, but revolutionary socialism or capitalist barbarism.

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:52176-12520844@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:20180924T154241 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181023T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181023T094500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Live Webinar on Google Team Drives DESCRIPTION:Google Team Drives offers a model of team-based ownership of files.

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.

Like other art forms\, motion pictures have their own “language” or “grammar” that enables them to communicate actions\, ideas and emotions to us. With many examples and the screening of complete feature films\, we will see how mise-en-scene\, editing\, sound\, and narrative structure function. \n\nOur features will include Casablanca\, Sliding Doors\, Singin’ in the Rain\, and 500 Days of Summer. \n\nInstructor Dr. Henry Aldridge is an Emeritus Professor of Electronic Media and Film Studies at Eastern Michigan University.

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.

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.

Examples are turbulent flows in the transport and aviation industries\, smart energy networks\, and models of cell dynamics used in synthetic biology. Quantitative analysis of such systems using direct numerical simulations sometimes requires prohibitively large computational resources even when one is interested only in some average properties\, such as mean power consumption\, because all time and length scales across which the system evolves must be resolved. In addition\, while numerical simulations offer detailed information starting from a specific initial state\, they cannot provide safety-critical performance or stability guarantees that hold for all possible initial states. In this talk\, I will describe an alternative approach to studying nonlinear systems with polynomial dynamics\, which combines ideas from Lyapunov's stability theory with recent numerical tools for polynomial optimization. In particular\, I will present a range of examples that demonstrate how this optimization-based method enables the efficient algorithmic construction of stability certificates and the computation of rigorous bounds on performance-related system properties. Other applications\, including optimal control and disturbance amplification analysis\, will be discussed along with open problems and future research directions.

The Place of Socialist Propaganda Theater in China DESCRIPTION:This presentation argues against the conventional wisdom which views the performance culture of the People’s Republic of China as a monolithic\, top-down\, and meaningless practice characterized solely by censorship in a totalitarian regime. Professor Chen will demonstrate that propaganda performances on the process and history of the communist revolution and its leaders can be studied as a complex\, dialogic\, and interweaving process\, in which multiple voices and opposing views collide\, negotiate\, and compromise in forming what looks like a mainstream ideology—and indeed functions as such—to legitimize the state and its right to rule. She argues that propaganda study can delineate performative rituals which insinuated itself in the form of “personal” memories\, nostalgia\, commercial culture\, pop culture\, youth culture\, and the cybersphere with popular appeal\, which can explore­ the charisma of revolutionary leaders to create romance\, detective\, suspense\, and war stories that overlap with Hollywood blockbusters despite their obvious differences. \n \nXiaomei Chen is a professor at the University of California at Davis where she teaches modern Chinese literature\, film\, and theater. She is the author of \"Occidentalism\" (1995)\, \"Acting the Right Part\" (2002) and \"Staging Chinese Revolution\" (2016). She is the editor of \"Reading the Right Text\" (2003) and the \"Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Drama\" (2010) and co-editor\, with Claire Sponsler\, of \"East of West: Cross-Cultural Performances and the Staging of Difference\" (2000)\"\; with Julia Andrew\, of \"Visual Culture in Contemporary China\" (2001)\, and with Steven Siyuan Liu\, \"Hong Shen and the Modern Mediasphere in Republican-Era China\" (2016).\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.

Stern Faculty Fellow and associate professor of architecture\, followed by Q & A.\n\nIn this talk\, Mitnick reflects upon the ways that buildings and fiction writing embody different forms of spatial narratives that shape how we experience the physical environment.\n\nSimilar to the way that architecture is used in literature to define the social and psychological outlooks of characters\, and the settings in which their lives occur\, buildings present fictions about the world. By framing “views\,” ordering “centers\, margins and in-betweens\,” and choreographing movement and sensorial experience\, they tell stories about who are\, what we value\, and where we are—a process that becomes particularly interesting when the fictions they present fail to align with what we hold to be true. The images we create of our buildings and cities tell stories as well\, shaping our conceptions about the places in which we live\, and broadcasting them to others.\n\nUsing examples of his own work as an architect and a writer\, he will creatively explore the intersection of different spatial narratives in words\, images and physical forms\, and conjecture upon new approaches for considering their similarities and differences.

All workshops are free and open to the public and will include a light dinner. \n\nCultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This fall we will explore the ways in which healing justice\; creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression. \n\nHealing Justice is woven through each of the workshops. Dr. Page of the Kindred Healing Justice Collective (often attributed with coining the phrase) describes Healing Justice as identifying how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence\, and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies\, hearts and minds.”\n\nRSVP is encouraged\, but not required.\n\nTransportation from Ann Arbor will be provided.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520845@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:20180921T125329 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181024T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181024T113000 SUMMARY:Ceremony / Service:Neubacher Ceremony DESCRIPTION:The Ceremony recognizes U-M affiliates (faculty/staff/students/alums) who have been nominated and selected for their contributions to disability issues.\n\nThe Council for Disability Concerns produces an annual series of events designed to raise awareness of disability topics on campus and in our community.

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. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

In the commercialization aspects of this role she prepares breakthrough energy technology teams for the transition from lab to market by coaching on patents\, manufacturing process design/economics and partnerships with customers/funding groups. In her strategy role she helps to shape improved approaches\, across a broad spectrum\, towards maximizing positive impact of ARPA-E technologies on the US competitiveness.\n\nTalk abstract:\nThe long awaited emergence of ES as an economically sound enabler of electrified trans- portation\, often considered pure speculation\, is now a reality. Li-Ion is satisfying the many criteria for ICE parity which was originally set by DOE. Its high volume manufacturing now gives rise to lower costs which ensures continued commoditization and widespread adoption\, albeit not based on US as the market lead. Thus the formerly nascent industry is settling in to predictable mature behaviors. For the reimagined GRID of the future\, cost effective wind and solar renewables coupled to the now cost effective Li-Ion storage are beginning to beat the usual approaches for electricity generation - without subsidies. In this presentation we will look at the evolution and some of the details of this pres- ent case\, the remaining performance shortcomings\, and how they might be met. Topics will include global manufacturing supply/demand trends\, economics of scale\, remaining technology gaps and technical challenges\, including ARPA-E breakthrough approaches for both transportation and stationary. Our problem has transitioned from grappling to bring Li-Ion to the world to avoiding its total technology lock-in\, which may ultimately thwart the next generation of progress.

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.

Ford School of Public Policy\, Betty Ford Classroom (1110)\n735 S. State Street\, Ann Arbor 48109-3091\n11:30am-12:50pm \n\nFree and open to the public. Pizza lunch provided. \n\nProfessor Tuohy will speak about her new book\, Remaking Policy: Scale\, Pace and Political Strategy in Health Care Reform (University of Toronto Press 2018). The book presents a new theoretical framework for addressing perennial questions about the drivers of policy change. It argues that the scale and pace of major policy change - change that alters the balance of power\, the methods of control or the organizing principles of a policy arena – are fundamentally driven by political calculations at the centre of government\, as political actors assess their ability to overcome vetoes not only in the present but also over time. The book develops this argument by drawing on ten cases of health policy change across seven decades (1945-2017) and four nations (the United States\, Britain\, the Netherlands and Canada). In her talk Prof. Tuohy will pay particular attention to the American cases\, showing why the US is especially prone to “mosaic” bursts of simultaneous small-scale changes\, and why both “big-bang” (large scale\, fast paced) and “blueprint” (large scale\, slow paced) strategies have proved elusive.\n\n\nCarolyn Tuohy specializes in comparative public policy\, particularly social policy. She holds a B.A. from the University of Toronto\, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University. In addition to Remaking Policy\, her publications include Accidental Logics: the Dynamics of Change in the Health Care Arena in the United States\, Britain and Canada (Oxford University Press 1999) and Policy and Politics in Canada: Institutionalized Ambivalence (Temple University Press 1992)\, a treatment of Canadian public policy in comparative perspective. She is the co-editor of Exploring Social Insurance: Can a Dose of Europe Cure Canadian Health Care Finance? (McGill-Queen’s University Press 2008) and Taking Public Universities Seriously (University of Toronto Press 2005).\nIn addition she is the author of numerous journal articles and book chapters in the areas of health and social policy\, professional regulation\, and comparative approaches in public policy\, and is frequently consulted by government and related agencies on public policy matters. From 1992-2005 she held a number of senior administrative positions at the University of Toronto\, including Deputy Provost and Vice-President\, Government and Institutional Relations. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.\n\nSponsored by: Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\nCo-sponsored by: School of Public Health\n\nFor more information contact closup@umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

The International Monitoring System (IMS) was established to verify treaty compliance\, and consists of four technologies: seismic\, infrasound\, hydroacoustic\, and radionuclide. The radionuclide component of the IMS conducts atmospheric monitoring to identify radioactive particles and gases associated with nuclear testing\, such as radioxenon. As a noble gas\, the radioxenon produced in an underground nuclear explosion can be released into the atmosphere\, for subsequent detection by the IMS. Radioxenon is also produced by fission-based civilian processes\, such as nuclear reactors and medical isotope production facilities\, requiring discrimination between these sources. The focus of this work is to improve the resolution and sensitivity of radioxenon monitoring systems.\n\nRadioxenon is measured using beta-gamma coincidence techniques\, typically with scintillating plastic and NaI(Tl) detectors\; however\, the poor energy resolution of the plastic results in isotopic interference\, complicating the analysis. Additionally\, radon emits decay energies that interfere with those from radioxenon\, requiring complex gas- processing systems to filter it from the sample. Furthermore\, radioxenon diffuses into the plastic detectors\, which increases the background of subsequent measurements\; this phenomenon is known as the memory effect. To mitigate these issues\, this thesis demonstrated 1) an anticoincidence analysis method to better identify metastable isotopes\, 2) a validated MCNPX-PoliMi simulation tool to analyze new detector systems and produce training spectra for analysis testing\, and 3) a prototype radioxenon detector system based on stilbene.\n\nStilbene cell prototypes have been developed\, tested\, and compared with a traditional plastic scintillator cell. The results show that the stilbene cell has similar response to the plastic cell with an improved energy resolution\, full-width at half-maximum decreased by 2.2 keV at 129 keV. The stilbene cell is capable of pulse shape discrimination allowing for radon mitigation through alpha identification. The analysis presented reduced the minimum detectable concentration of Xe-135 by 1% and could be used for environmental monitoring. The stilbene cell was shown to have 0.043% residual activity compared to 4.5% residual activity for the plastic cell\, demonstrating significantly improved memory effect. The results presented in the thesis allow for better identification of metastable isotopes\, improved simulation techniques\, and improved detection sensitivity which could lead to improved source discrimination strengthening the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty verification regime.

An attractive approach to addressing this need is the use of catalysts that can be altered through post-synthetic modifications. Several commonly employed methods to change catalyst reactivity post-synthesis include the manipulation of pH\, photoactivation\, or even changes in solvent. This talk will discuss the synthesis\, characterization\, and reactivity of fluorescent dye-containing main group compounds that are capable of exhibiting a colorimetric response upon binding substrate molecules. This talk will also describe the incorporation of fluorescent dye-containing ligands into metal and main group complexes for switchable reactivity. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nZachariah Heiden (Washington State University) UID:55302-13716035@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55302 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180925T133733 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181024T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181024T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 and MICDE Seminar series: Juan Pablo Vielma\, MIT Sloan School of Management DESCRIPTION:Title: Modeling power of mixed integer convex optimization problems and their effective solution with Julia and JuMP\n\nAbstract:\nMore than 50 years of development have made mixed integer linear programming (MILP) an extremely successful tool. MILP's modeling flexibility allows it describe a wide range of business\, engineering and scientific problems\, and\, while MILP is NP-hard\, many of these problems are routinely solved in practice thanks to state-of-the- art solvers that nearly double their machine-independent speeds every year. Inspired by this success\, the last decade has seen a surge of activity on the solution and application of mixed integer convex programming (MICP)\, which extends MILP's versatility by allowing the use of convex constraints in addition to linear inequalities. In this talk we cover various recent developments concerning theory\, algorithms and computation for MICP. Solvers for MICP can be significantly more effective than those for more general non-convex optimization\, so one of the questions we cover in this talk is what classes of non-convex constraints can be modeled through MICP. We also cover the solution of MICP problems through polyhedral approximation algorithms that exploit the power of extended formulations. Finally\, we cover various topics concerning the modeling and computational solution of MICP problems using the Julia programming language and the JuMP modeling language for optimization. In Particular\, we show how mixed integer optimal control problems where the variables are polynomials can be easily modeled and solved by seamlessly combining several Julia packages and JuMP extensions with the Julia-written MICP solver Pajarito.\n\nBio:\nJuan Pablo Vielma is the Richard S.

My talk reunites this corpus of feathered microcarvings currently dispersed in collections throughout Europe and the Americas in order to consider their reception by the European audiences for whom they were created. While recent scholarship addressing the migration of featherwork across the Atlantic has theorized its value in relation to early modern artistic debates\, this talk instead considers the significance of pairing feathers from a specific family of birds with a limited range of Christian iconography in objects that were intended to serve as instruments of private devotion. Looking at this group through the prism of European commentary addressing the hummingbird’s scale\, its colors\, and its unique behavior sheds light on the ways in which period audiences collapsed distinctions between curio and devotional object\, the study of nature and the contemplation of the divine.

The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact.\n\nCaptured over the course of an eventful year in 23 countries\, the film follows a chain of urgent human stories that stretches across the globe in countries including Afghanistan\, Bangladesh\, France\, Greece\, Germany\, Iraq\, Israel\, Italy\, Kenya\, Mexico\, and Turkey. \"Human Flow\" is a witness to its subjects and their desperate search for safety\, shelter and justice: from teeming refugee camps to perilous ocean crossings to barbed-wire borders\; from dislocation and disillusionment to courage\, endurance and adaptation\; from the haunting lure of lives left behind to the unknown potential of the future. \"Human Flow\" comes at a crucial time when tolerance\, compassion\, and trust are needed more than ever. This visceral work of cinema is a testament to the unassailable human spirit and poses one of the questions that will define this century: Will our global society emerge from fear\, isolation\, and self-interest and choose a path of openness\, freedom\, and respect for humanity? \n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to cesmichigan@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

The tone of online discourse is increasingly one of complaining\, mistrust\, and disapproval. The seemingly innocent \"like\" can unleash a torrent of attention-grabbing incivility. Platforms give trolls undue influence with the effect of normalizing emotional responses and off-topic discussions. What do we do?\n\nPlease join us for a conversation about what humanists can contribute to a reimagining of digital platforms. What do we know about how today's polarizing discourse has evolved? What can we learn from previous times in history where discourse was thought to be degenerating? How can the humanities help us form thoughtful communities of diverse opinions? \n\nCome talk to Kamilah Taylor and Daniel Burke\, co-founders of Swaay\, a start-up dedicated to rebuilding digital platforms to encourage thoughtful exchange\; Knight-Wallace Fellow Rachel Rohr\; and Megan Ankerson\, communication studies\, about their work and the challenges they are encountering. Angela Dillard\, Afroamerican and African studies and Residential College\, will moderate.
