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

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

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:52176-12520846@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:20181017T133433 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181025T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181025T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:International Institute Conference.

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

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

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

The workshop will involve topics relevant to graduate student professionalization\, including issues of craft and public-facing scholarship. Please reach out to Zoey Dorman (zdorman@umich.edu) or Talin Tahajian (talatahaj@umich.edu) to receive copies of the pre-circulated papers.\n\n“This essay [‘Specters of the Ballad’] argues that Paul Laurence Dunbar’s ballad ‘The Haunted Oak’ (1901) indexes Dunbar’s invention of the modern American lyric through the (lynching) form of modern racism. How does race ghost-write poetry’s redefinition around the lyric? How does it create a dramatically abstract ‘speaker’ that gives voice to and for an imagined community? Dunbar inverts both romantic apostrophe and Victorian dramatic monologue and dialogue in his speaking bough. He does this by framing his poem as a pre-romantic border ballad\, a tale of Scots rebellion and English law superimposed upon American racist violence. What Jacqueline Goldsby has dubbed ‘racism’s modern life form’ thus becomes modern American poetry’s life form\, a lyricized poetic history haunted from root to branch.”\n\n“‘The Function of Criticism at the Present Time’ is part of part of the Los Angeles Review of Books special series ‘No Crisis’: a look at the state of critical thinking and writing—literary interpretation\, art history\, and cultural studies—in the 21st century. Jackson reviews Lauren Berlant’s Cruel Optimism.” UID:56803-14006007@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English,Literature LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3154 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180904T121534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181025T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181025T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Have We Met? 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.

While the geoglyphs were an integral part of the Nasca Culture (AD 100-650) this ancient society was just one of many that made Nasca their home. During the several thousand years of occupation the region saw many transformations including the development of regionally integrated complex societies\, imperial conquest by the highland Wari\, collapse and abandonment\, resettlement of the region possibly by highlanders\, and imperial conquest once again by the Inca. Many factors were involved in these shifts\, and included the organization of kinship groups\, subsistence strategies\, influxes of immigrants and new ideas\, religious movements\, climate change\, trade and social networks\, and external imperial policies. This talk will explore these issues and the implications for broader patterns of change in the Andean region.

Their role remains elusive but over the years several pathologies and organelle functions have been coupled to lipid membrane structural complexity. In this talk we will discuss lipid membrane polymorphism and how it can be exploited to generate a new class of materials for the delivery of cargo to cells. We combine a number of techniques including X-ray scattering\, cryo-EM\, and cell culture to demonstrate that the structure of lipid nanoparticles is a powerful handle to boost the delivery of genes to cells. The simple argument that non-bilayer phases having intertwined nanoscale channels exist to increase surface-to-volume ratio might be insufficient to completely describe the experimental findings. We will show that synthetic lipid and lipid-polymer hybrid materials are able to capture many structural and dynamic properties seen in natural systems\, when local heterogeneities and self-assembly out of equilibrium is taken into account. \n\nBIO\nCecilia Leal is an Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and is affiliated with the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Subsequent facultative hormonal cascades are key for rapid physiological and behavioral acclimation. Although many endocrine cascades are known to respond rapidly to environmental perturbations\, it is only recently that we have discovered the plasticity of these responses over the life cycle. Mechanisms underlying modulation of physiological and behavioral responses to environmental change have triggered two major hypotheses. 1. the evolutionary constraints hypothesis which posits that endocrine systems are highly conserved and there are limited ways by which the responses can be modulated. 2. The evolutionary flexibility hypothesis suggesting that there are multiple ways by which endocrine systems can be modulated. This talk will focus on specific facultative hormonal responses and explore why and how these are modulated in relation to the two hypotheses.

Though ideal point estimation techniques are frequently used\, the theoretical implications of assumptions made in order to empirically estimate ideal points provide cause for concern. Current scaling techniques ignore the role of group-level dependencies within the data. Assumptions about independence of observations in the scaling model ignore the possibility that members of the voting body have shared incentives to vote as a group. In turn\, this leads to potential biases in the estimated values of the ideal points and underestimation of the number of dimensions needed to model the ideal point space. In this paper\, I propose a new ideal point model that explicitly allows for group contributions in the underlying spatial model of voting. I derive a corresponding empirical model that utilizes flexible Bayesian nonparametric priors to estimate group ideological effects in ideal points and the corresponding dimensionality of the ideal points. I apply this model to the 114th U.S. House and show how grouped ideological effects can be uncovered using only a set of roll call votes. This model provides insights into open questions related to group dynamics in legislative voting and has important implications for literature that utilizes ideal point estimates.

For example\, unless there is severe airport surface congestion\, departing aircraft are typically allowed to leave their gate and continue with minimal regulation to the takeoff queue. Similarly\, en route aircraft are typically allowed to continue with minimal regulation to the terminal airspace above their destination. I present three algorithms for minimizing congestion and delays while fully utilizing available resources — runways\, taxiways\, ramps\, and gates. In the first algorithm\, airspace congestion is minimized (thereby minimizing flight time\, fuel burn\, emissions\, and noise) by determining the separation required between successive aircraft prior to their descent to the runway so that each aircraft can execute a continuous descent arrival with little to no controller intervention. In the second algorithm\, ramp congestion is minimized by determining the optimal assignment of flights to concourses based on historical statistics and then assigning flights to specific gates based on nearer-term landing time forecasts. In the third algorithm\, runway utilization is maximized by determining the optimal initial schedule for operations on a runway given uncertainty in taxi out times and the corrective re-sequencing to account for adverse FIFO sequences. \n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nJohn-Paul Clarke is a College of Engineering Dean’s Professor at Georgia Tech\, where he has appointments in Aerospace Engineering and Industrial and Systems Engineering\, and serves as Director of the Air Transportation Laboratory. His research interests include aircraft trajectory prediction and optimization–especially as it pertains to the development of flight procedures that reduce the environmental impact of aviation–and the development and use of stochastic models and optimization algorithms to improve the efficiency and robustness of airline\, airport\, and air traffic operations. His research has been particularly instrumental in changing both the theory and the practice of flight procedure design. Professor Clarke was co-Chair of the National Academies Committee that developed the US National Agenda for Autonomy Research related to Civil Aviation\, and is a member of the NASA Advisory Council Aeronautics Committee. Over the years\, he has chaired or served on advisory and technical committees chartered by the AIAA\, EU\, FAA\, ICAO\, NASA\, the National Academies\, the US Army\, and the US DOT. Dr. Clarke received the S.B.\, S.M.\, and Sc.D. degrees from MIT in 1991\, 1992\, and 1997\, respectively. His many prior honors include the 1999 AIAA/AAAE/ACC Jay Hollingsworth Speas Airport Award\, the 2003 FAA Excellence in Aviation Award\, the 2006 National Academy of Engineering Gilbreth Lectureship\, the 2012 AIAA/SAE William Littlewood Lectureship\, and the SAE Environmental Excellence in Transportation Award in 2015. He is a Fellow of the AIAA\, and is a member of AGIFORS\, INFORMS\, and Sigma Xi.

We have recently developed new approaches for selective C-H and C-O functionalization of alcohols and carbonyls\, using a combination of radical (1e-) and closed shell (2e-) processes that act in concert with one another. These new radical chaperone strategies have enabled the development of chemical transformations with applications within molecules of biological and industrial interest. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDavid Nagib (The Ohio State University) UID:52741-12986895@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52741 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181016T120212 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181025T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181025T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Communication Frictions and Knowledge Transfers: Evidence from FDI DESCRIPTION:This paper examines knowledge transfers from foreign managers to domestic managers within MNCs. Using a newly developed survey of domestic middle managers in Myanmar\, we find evidence of large communication frictions between management layers: foreign managers cannot speak Myanmar\, domestic managers cannot speak the company's language (e.g.\, Japanese\, Korean or Chinese)\, and both groups are not well versed in English. These frictions impose costs on MNCs and impede knowledge spillovers to domestic managers. The study can help reconcile why spillovers from FDI are often limited\, despite widespread claims\, and why cross-border investment is very responsive to language barriers.

The fungus Amanita phalloides is deadly poisonous and a rich literature records its history in Europe and America\; the death cap is invasive in California. After briefly describing its history in North America\, I will talk about the population genomics data we are using to delineate individuals (or genets). By collecting and genotyping mapped populations of fungi from California\, Europe\, and the Northeast U.S.\, we are discovering that most mushrooms in a habitat are unique genetic individuals. Data suggest that genets of A. phalloides are typically less than 1 m in diameter. The pattern holds across California\, Europe\, and the Northeast\, and is the same for sites where populations are assumed to be young\, and sites where A. phalloides has been collected for over 30 years. In fact\, data collected at different time points from the same sites evince the same structures\, even when populations are collected 10 years apart. There appears to be no correlation between body size and geographic origin or age of a population\, moreover\, dispersal appears highly local: most spores appear to fall just next to their source.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/tjYITvG7P-4 UID:49652-11487537@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49652 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181017T075157 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181025T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181025T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Is There a Socialist Everyday? Production and Social Reproduction in Maoist Beijing DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In the years between 1958 and 1962\, the Urban Commune movement was promoted as a radical effort to change the daily lives of city residents. By inserting women into the “productive” life of factory work\, the movement also aimed at achieving a new form of everyday\, based on a true equality of gender relationships\, one achieved through the shared creativity of manual labor. While the movement failed\, it nonetheless brought to the fore some of the crucial tensions that marred the search for a socialist everyday: between participatory democracy and state hierarchy\, between production and liberation\, and between labor and gender equality.\n\nFabio Lanza (PhD\, Columbia University\, 2004) is professor of modern Chinese history in the Departments of History and East Asian Studies of the University of Arizona.

Her research explores how the notion of infrapolitics articulates with sexual difference through a reading of Selva Almada’s work Chicas Muertas (2014). Almada\, an Argentine writer\, writes a hybrid text investigating 3 femicides in Argentina during the 80’s\, the first years of the democratic transition. The writing of Almada traces the hierarchical powers of gender violence and opens a space to think woman beyond the patriarchal binaries and its violence. What does it mean to be a woman if one is not what the killers want\, that is\, a mere biological body? How not to be reduced to that minimal body that the murderers aim to appropriate totally? How not to be reduced to a mere body without rest\, to escape that biological murdering determinism?\n\n\nPeláez addresses those questions from a unique perspective which engages closely with feminism and Latin-American studies. She approaches an under researched area of philosophy\, i.e. sexual difference\, and articulates it with contemporary works of Latin American fiction and critical thought. Her scholar work on gender and sexuality is addressing historical gaps in both scholarships and responds to a particular urgency to discuss women’s work and intellectual contributions in our times. \n\n\nIn the workshop\, Peláez will be present for an informal discussion of texts on sexual difference with faculty and graduate students. \n\n\nPlease e-mail rparrine@umich.com to RSVP to the workshop and receive the texts we will be discussing.

This paper will focus on the example of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper in order to begin to tell a different story about the history of American poetry.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nWe examine the extent to which DNA exonerations can reveal whether wrongful conviction rates differ across races. We show that under a wide-range of assumptions regarding possible explicit or implicit racial biases in the DNA exoneration process (including no bias)\, our results suggest the wrongful conviction rate for rape is substantially and significantly higher among black convicts than white convicts. By contrast\, we show that only if one believes that the DNA exoneration process very strongly favors innocent members of one race over the other could one conclude that there exist significant racial differences in wrongful conviction rates for murder.\n\nco-authored with Eric Helland UID:56224-13867073@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Law,seminar LOCATION:South Hall - 1020 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181109T123021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181025T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181025T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Edelman Immersion Program Information Session DESCRIPTION:Edelman is the world’s largest communications marketing firm\, with more than 5\,000 employees in 65 cities.

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.

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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520847@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:20181024T165720 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181026T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181026T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Fall Preview Weekend DESCRIPTION:Explore a Michigan PhD\nOctober 26-27\, 2018\n\nThe Astronomy & Astrophysics Ph.D. program will host a select group of invited students to visit us for a preview event of our PhD program.

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.

The mini-conference's invited speakers will discuss their groundbreaking research into the complex relationships between black audiences and black performers in the classical Hollywood era\, early American animation’s reliance on blackface minstrelsy\, and understanding African American film exhibition before 1930 as broadcasts of racial uplift and demands to control their own visual representation on screen. During the pedagogy session\, the speakers will also interrogate how research into film history and cinema-related archival collections can help University faculty and graduate student instructors foster and facilitate critical discussions of race with their students.

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

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

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

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

Her research explores how the notion of infrapolitics articulates with sexual difference through a reading of Selva Almada’s work Chicas Muertas (2014). Almada\, an Argentine writer\, writes a hybrid text investigating 3 femicides in Argentina during the 80’s\, the first years of the democratic transition. The writing of Almada traces the hierarchical powers of gender violence and opens a space to think woman beyond the patriarchal binaries and its violence. What does it mean to be a woman if one is not what the killers want\, that is\, a mere biological body? How not to be reduced to that minimal body that the murderers aim to appropriate totally? How not to be reduced to a mere body without rest\, to escape that biological murdering determinism?\n\n\nPeláez addresses those questions from a unique perspective which engages closely with feminism and Latin-American studies. She approaches an under researched area of philosophy\, i.e. sexual difference\, and articulates it with contemporary works of Latin American fiction and critical thought. Her scholar work on gender and sexuality is addressing historical gaps in both scholarships and responds to a particular urgency to discuss women’s work and intellectual contributions in our times. \n\n\nIn the workshop\, Peláez will be present for an informal discussion of texts on sexual difference with faculty and graduate students. \n\n\nPlease e-mail rparrine@umich.com to RSVP to the workshop and receive the texts we will be discussing.

Using the two quantities introduced in the paper\, we show that the compatibility condition on the design matrix is actually unavoidable to achieve fast prediction rates with the Lasso. In other words\, the $\ell_1$-regularized Lasso must incur a loss due to the correlations of the design matrix\, measured in terms of the compatibility constant. This results holds for any design matrix\, any active subset of covariates\, and any positive tuning parameter.\nWe also characterize sharp phase transitions for the tuning parameter of the Lasso around a critical threshold dependent on the sparsity $k$. If $\lambda$ is equal to or larger than this critical threshold\, the Lasso is minimax over $k$-sparse target vectors. If $\lambda$ is equal or smaller than this critical threshold\, the Lasso incurs a loss of order $\sigma\sqrt k$\, even if the target vector has far fewer than $k$ nonzero coefficients. This sharp phase transition highlights a minimal penalty phenomenon similar to that observed in model selection with $\ell_0$ regularization by Birge and Massart.

So pervasive are digital technologies in the 21st century that it is difficult to find critical distance from this immersive new world of ubiquitous connectivity\, social media feeds\, smartphones\, mobile apps\, responsive design\, algorithmic recommendation systems\, and voice-controlled home shopping assistants. While the question “what is the digital?” is compelling\, the more pressing question might be instead: what does it mean to be alive in the digital age?\n\nThe 2019 Michigan Meetings will be a year-long event that critically engages with the big issues\, urgent consequences\, and radical possibilities for grappling with the meaning of life in this era of digital ubiquity. Whether defined as “animated corporeal existence\,” “vitality\,” or “to continue\, to remain\,” we see a profound opportunity to approach the digital world through a spectrum of the meaning of life-ness - alive\, liveness\, animated\, lifelike\, life-adjacent\, consciousness\, awareness\, attention\, awoke.\n\nDigital culture reconfigures the way we know our bodies\, our selves\, our work\, our objects and living spaces\, our politics\, and our sense of community. Like prior technologies\, the digital gives rise to distinct new modes of experiencing time and space. Life is lived through constant network connectivity\, GPS positioning\, software databases\, biotechnologies and wearable activity trackers\, ‘smart’ buildings\, cities\, and homes\, migrant digital labor\, computational modeling\, and the management of unfathomable streams of big data\, and artificial intelligence. Subsequently\, life is also lived through anxieties about identity theft\, hacking\, online harassment\, piracy\, surveillance and drone warfare.\n\nAcross campus\, these questions will emerge in courses\, colloquia\, lectures\, and informal conversations among students\, faculty\, staff\, and peers. We aim to support meaningful and rewarding work in the technology industries or in academic research by giving students and faculty the history\, critical perspective\, and rigorous deep-dive into humanistic questions of “new” media life with this 2019 theme.\n\nPanel Speakers:\nAndre Brock\, Georgia Tech\nCarmen Aguilar y Wedge\, HyphenLabs\nLionel Robert\, U-M School of Information\nSophia Brueckner\, U-M Art and Design\n\nThe 2019 Michigan Meeting is co-organized by:\n\nSarah Murray\, University of Michigan College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts associate professor of film\, television\, and media\nLisa Nakamura\, University of Michigan College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts associate professor of American Studies\nEllie Abrons\, University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning associate professor of architecture\nMegan Sapnar Ankerson\, University of Michigan College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts associate professor of communication\nMcLain Clutter\, University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning associate professor of architecture\nPaul Conway\, University of Michigan School of Information associate professor of information \nAdam Fure\, University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning associate professor of architecture\n\n*Please note: the Main Michigan Meetings Summit is Thursday and Friday\, May 9 and 10\, 2019\, Rackham Building UID:56673-13960685@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56673 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:conference,Culture,Discussion,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Food,Free,Graduate Students,Information and Technology,Interdisciplinary,Networking,Research,Undergraduate Students,Workshop LOCATION:Duderstadt Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181110T063016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181026T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181026T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Mock Law Class & Lunch with Prof. Richard Broughton DESCRIPTION:Come get a feel for a law school class led by UDMercy Professor Richard Broughton (https://www.udmercy.edu/about/people/university/law/j-richard-broughton.php).

This method may be especially useful when cognitive models from experimental psychology are applied in clinical or neuroimaging research because it allows complex models to be fit even in situations where behavioral data from individual participants is sparse. This presentation will provide a general overview of Bayesian cognitive modeling methods\, and of the sometimes challenging task of addressing concerns from reviewers who may be less familiar with them\, using an example of a paper that Alex and his co-authors have recently been working through the review process with. Topics discussed will include assessing model fit in this framework and describing Bayesian methods for modeling and hypothesis testing to Frequentist readers.

Over the last decade we have conducted full coverage survey\, urban mapping\, LiDAR scanning and analysis\, and excavation to better understand the growth and abandonment of Angamuco during the centuries prior to European contact. This work shows that (1) large urban centers with complex spatial organization and social stratification were present centuries prior to the formation of the Purépecha Empire\, (2) the settlement incorporate gardens and other landscape features within and around the settlement demonstrating a high degree of human environmental modification\, (3) current models for the evolution of social complexity in the region cannot account for the presence of Angamuco.

Fragmented Elites and the Short-Term Focus of the American Corporation DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, scholars and popular commentators have expressed concerns that U.S. corporations are too focused on short-term performance\, thereby undermining their long-term health and competitiveness. This paper examines how this focus on short-term strategies and performance\, or short-termism\, results from the dissolution of the American corporate elite network. In particular\, we argue that the corporate-board interlock network traditionally served as an important collective resource that helped corporate elites to preserve their autonomy and control\, mitigating short-termism. In recent years\, changing board-appointment practices have fractured the board network\, undermining its usefulness as a platform for collective action and exposing corporate leaders to short-term pressures. We develop and apply a cohesion metric for network managerialism\, derived from theory and evidence in social-network scholarship. Using three indicators that capture short-termism earnings management and shareholder returns\, we identify a structural basis for managerial short-termism that links external\, network-based resources to managers’ decisions. The results highlight the benefits of the corporate elite network and illustrate unforeseen consequences of the network’s dissolution.

However\, to account for RT differences between correct and error responses\, the model must assume random variability in parameters across trials. The first part of this talk presents mathematical results showing that\, if this variability is unconstrained\, then the model becomes unfalsifiable. \n\nThe second part presents a positive theory of intertrial variability that resolves this problem of excess flexibility\, based on an integration of the diffusion model with reinforcement learning. These are arguably the two most successful frameworks in cognitive modeling\, respectively describing within-trial and across-trial dynamics. I provide a Bayesian derivation that yields a natural synthesis of the two models and makes novel predictions about bidirectional influences between learning and decision making. Fits to data show the model simultaneously accounts for choice and RT within trials\, learning across trials\, and various interdependencies between these two timescales.

The paradigm of tissue engineering is related to the integrated use of human cells\, biomaterial scaffolds (structural and logistic templates for tissue formation) and bioreactors (culture systems providing environmental control\, molecular and physical signaling) in regenerative medicine. Living human tissues can be bioengineered from the autologous stem cells\, and tailored to the patient and the medical condition being treated. More recently\, the same principles are being successfully applied to the patient-specific “organs on a chip” platforms designed to recapitulate some aspects of human physiology. This talk will discuss some recent advances in regenerative engineering and modeling of disease using functional human tissues grown in lab. \n\nGordana Vunjak-Novakovic is The Mikati Foundation Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Sciences at Columbia University in the City of New York.

In so doing\, this project illustrates how domestic labor takes shape along with women’s strategies for navigating the most intimate relationships across a global stage fraught with economic and political challenges. This research is situated in relationship to transnational feminist thought by highlighting the strategies that women use to navigate motherhood within a larger context that connects their experiences and strategies across places. As such\, by focusing on the employment experiences and choices of immigrant domestic workers who are part of transnational motherhood flows\, furthers understandings of how emotions are entangled with understandings of personal economic failure\, that are often invisible and unpaid\, while relationally shaping the everyday experiences of these women. The material for this analysis is based on oral histories of female Zimbabwean immigrants working in Johannesburg\, South Africa and ten in-depth interviews with Latina domestic workers in San Diego\, California\, including their children left behind in Mexico. \n\nLorena Munoz is an assistant professor in gender women and sexuality studies and American studies at the University of Minnesota.

I argue that traditional thinking about this issue involves a false dichotomy. I articulate my own account of illusion and hallucination\, and argue that it entails VR experience is complex with veridical and non-veridical elements. I begin by presenting new cases of illusion and hallucination that have not heretofore been identified. These cases show that the traditional accounts of illusion and hallucination are incorrect. I provide a taxonomy of all the different kinds of illusion and hallucination. New instances of illusion and hallucination provide much needed\, important data for testing theories of experience and perception—and can illuminate the nature of virtual reality experience. I go on to discuss virtual reality experience of the sort that is produced today\, and show that we need to take account of the nature of the technology in thinking about the veridicality of the experience.

Coleta declined to accept last rites\, however\, unless the friar would return with a scribe to copy down her story and take the document to a judge to initiate a freedom suit on behalf of her daughters\, so that they would not suffer what she had suffered. The many folios of that lawsuit form the basis for the present essay\, complemented by documents from France\, England\, and the Dominican Republic that trace the Atlantic dimension to this story. Together they cast light on the complexities of discerning and documenting status in the Atlantic world in the aftermath of the Haitian Revolution.\n\nA paper will be circulated in advance of the workshop\; please contact Michael Gawlik (mrgawlik@umich.edu) if you would like a copy.

Notes on the Ruin-Sublime in Afghanistan DESCRIPTION:As abandoned remnants of human activity\, ruins evoke concerns about the durability of the past\, a setting\, and of human perception and culture. This talk explores the appearance of ruins in fiction and art set in Afghanistan. In these works syncretic colonial histories uniquely yoked to ruination (through description and setting) raise urgent questions about enduring forms of contemporary coloniality and the agency of any individual actor within a setting. This talk ultimately proposes a theory of the ‘ruin-sublime’ wherein aesthetic works join the material history of colonial desecration to psychic apprehensions to invite new ethically charged orientations towards the future.\n\nMrinalini Chakravorty\, Associate Professor of English at the University of Virginia\, is the author of In Stereotype: South Asia in the Global Literary Imaginary (Columbia UP\, 2014)\, as well as articles on transnationalism\, film\, Arab women writers\, interdisciplinarity\, and contemporary global fiction. In Stereotype considers the influence of contemporary South Asian Anglophone novels to illustrate how their play on stereotypes about South Asia provide insight into the material and psychic investments of contemporary imaginative texts: the colonial novel\, the transnational film\, and the international best-seller. Chakravorty's other essays have appeared in PMLA\, Modern Fiction Studies\, South Asian Review\, ARIEL\, differences\, and in various journals and collections. She received her Ph.D. in English and Critical Theory from the University of California\, Irvine. At Virginia\, she directs the English department’s Undergraduate Program and the concentration in Modern Literature and Culture.

Bacteria don’t have linear motors\, so how are they spatially organized? I will be discussing three members of the ParA/MinD family of ATPases that are part of self-organizing systems that put things in their place in cells across the microbial world. I will first present the ATPase called ParA\, which is part of the most common DNA-segregation system in bacteria. ParA proteins form dynamic waves on the nucleoid to position chromosomes and plasmids in opposite cell-halves so that they are faithfully inherited after cell division. I will then discuss the ATPase called MinD\, which is part of a system that forms oscillatory waves on the inner membrane. The oscillation aligns cell division at mid-cell so that daughter cells are equal in size. Finally\, I will introduce a new member of this ATPase family we call McdA\, which is part of an organelle trafficking system in bacteria. Yes. Bacteria have organelles. Our work is shedding light on what seems to be a general mode of subcellular organization in bacteria – dynamic protein gradients surfing biological surfaces to impart positional information for a wide variety of fundamental biological processes. My new lab focuses on subcellular organization in bacteria with a strong emphasis towards reconstituting the self-organizing activities of these systems in a cell-free setup using purified and fluorescent labeled components. By visualizing the biochemistry driving self-organization outside the cell we are able to provide comprehensive molecular mechanisms that explain subcellular organization inside the cell.

These resonances are at the heart of a variety of schemes for molecular sensing and plasmon enhanced catalysis. However\, the dynamics of plasmons can be difficult to study due to the distribution of particle sizes and shapes present in typical samples. In this talk I will describe single particle experiments that provide information about the ultrafast energy relaxation processes of plasmonic nanostructures\, and how these structures interact with their environment. Examples of the processes that have been studied include the creation of novel hybrid states through coupling between plasmons and excitons\, and the strange case of viscoelastic effects in the damping of vibrational modes of metal nanostructures. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nGregory Hartland (University of Notre Dame) UID:54352-13574513@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54352 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180828T150205 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181026T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181026T180000 SUMMARY:Well-being:Foundations of Yoga\, Meditation\, & Mindfulness DESCRIPTION:If you’d like to improve your focus and engagement in day-to-day living and add greater self-awareness\, this is the program for you.

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:52176-12520848@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:20180825T114014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181027T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181027T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Saturday Sampler Tour | Haunted History DESCRIPTION:“Long ago\, in a valley far\, far away\, a boy named Djehutymose found an ancient tomb\, neglected and forlorn\, in the great desert.

For full workshop program\, see https://ii.umich.edu/islamicstudies/news-events/events/conferences.html\n\n\"Mediterranity from the Edge\" seeks to offer a \"view from the edge\" into Mediterranean studies by looking at it from areas traditionally considered marginal to the Mediterranean world\, either in terms of geography or representation in the field: Armenia\, the Caucasus\, Ethiopia\, and the Iranian plateau.\n \nThe papers explore the various ways in which the cultural production of Armenia and other \"peripheral\" regions interfaced with the pre-modern Mediterranean world. It therefore invites a broader conversation about notions of periphery\, border\, and contact across so-called national\, linguistic\, or religious communities--concepts that can be productive and problematic in equal measure.

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.

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.

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:52176-12520849@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:20181019T181526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181028T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Octubafest U-M Euphonium/Tuba Ensemble Concert DESCRIPTION:Directed by Prof. Fritz Kaenzig\, UMETE will perform original and arranged compositions for euphonium/tuba ensembles that reflect the season.

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.

What is BDS? And Why Does it Matter? DESCRIPTION:Lorde cancelled her show in Israel in protest. So did the Pixies\, Elvis Costello\, Roger Waters\, and Santana. More than one 100 artists and musicians have joined the BDS (Boycott\, Divestment\, Sanctions) movement in solidarity with Palestinian and Israeli nonviolent activists. What motivates them? Since 2014\, twenty-five U.S. states have passed anti-BDS legislation\, citing anti-Semitism. In recent days though\, federal courts in Kansas and Arizona have ruled that such laws violate First Amendment rights to freedom of expression. What is fair and just\, in light of our diverse histories: members of the U-M community recall boycotts of Jewish businesses in Nazi Europe\, America's history of civil rights boycotts\, and boycotts in response to Palestinian displacement under Israeli Occupation? \n \nThe CMENAS Teach-in Town Hall will explore this vital moment in world history with experts and take stock of BDS\, now active for thirteen years. Meet our speakers:\n\nSusan Abulhawa\, author of Mornings in Jenin (2010) and The Blue Between Sky and Water (2015)\, poet\, political commentator\, human rights activist\, and founder of Playgrounds for Palestine\n\nTom Pessah\, Israeli sociologist and activist\, board member of Zochrot\n\nHuwaida Arraf\, Civil Rights Attorney and Co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement\, which was nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize\n\n \nEveryone is welcome! \n \nFunding Support: CMENAS Endowments\, Institute for the Humanities\, Department of Anthropology\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, Department of American Culture\, the International Institute\, Conflict and Peace Initiative\, Colonialism\, Race\, and Sexualities Initiative (through IRWG)\, Middle Eastern Law Students Association (MELSA)\, Department of Women Studies\, and the College of LSA\n\n---\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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 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: \nIn the Craft of Research\, Booth et al point to “warrant” as the principle that connects reasons to claim. It’s what enables your reader to see the relevance of your reasoning. Today\, Prof. Ali will lead a discussion of the textbook Craft of Research\, focusing on warrants\, and how they might evince and reinforce biases (sexist\, racist\, or presentist assumptions)\, thus foreclosing certain discussions. By the same token\, you can deploy new warrants to revise and substantiate principles\, and in effect change the conversation in your field. Warrants are vital for diversifying discussions to include underrepresented researchers. \n\nSpeaker Bio:\nSamer Ali conducts research on Arabo-Islamic social life in the Middle Ages through the lens of literature\, arts\, and culture. He authored Arabic Literary Salons in the Islamic Middle Ages and now writes on the role of women in the Arabic literary tradition and rituals of scapegoating and redemption. He has been honored with seven awards from The Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin\, the American Institute of Maghrib Studies\, and Fulbright Association. \n\n---\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

DESCRIPTION:There is now considerable evidence that neighborhood disadvantage predicts child antisocial behavior\, and that this effect may be causal\, at least to an extent. However\, the mechanisms underlying these contextual influences on child behavior remain unclear. In this talk\, I will examine gene-environment interplay as one key possibility\, evaluating how structural characteristics of the neighborhood shape the etiology of child antisocial behavior. The studies to be presented employed a number of state-of-the-science sampling\, methodologic\, and analytic techniques. Results provide compelling evidence regarding a key role for ‘bioecological gene-environment interactions’ and\, when considered alongside other evidence in the field\, point to a possible role for the ‘biological embedding’ of disadvantage. Implications and future work will be discussed.

In the modern world\, hygiene and vaccinations help us manage this threat\, but we all also possesses mental and physical defenses against germs. In this talk\, I will discuss the emerging thinking on a set of defensive strategies grounded in our psychology – emotions\, thought processes\, and actions collectively called the “behavioral immune system.” Feeling grossed out or avoidant when seeing spoiled food or sick people can help prevent infection\, but these reactions also negatively affect our interactions with people\, groups\, and environments that in reality pose no danger. Disease-related thinking also spills over into how we see the world more generally\, influencing aspects of our lives from cultural taboos to the products we buy. The psychology of germs\, disease\, and disgust may help us understand why.

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. Earlier this year\, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.\n\nOn view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday\, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. UID:55790-13777591@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55790 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Library,Poetry LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180920T171419 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181030T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181030T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520851@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:20181004T123250 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181030T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181030T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Nancy Blum\, RC Class of '85 DESCRIPTION:RC alumna '85 Nancy Blum returns to East Quad to exhibit her drawings of flowers and to deliver the 10/19 Robertson Lecture on her public art installations. \n\nExcerpted from her artist statement:\nMy large‐scale works on paper\, rendered in ink\, colored pencil\, gouache and graphite\, portray a fantastic realm in which flowers own the space. I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images\, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals\, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape\, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and\, in this way\, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.\n\nI use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active\, forceful agent\, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity\; hopefully\, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.\n\nWhen making art for public spaces\, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content\, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece\, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture\, ecosystem\, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice\, in turn\, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework\, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

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

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

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

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.

The dual nature of networks creates a challenge – if the observed network ties are a single random draw\, is it realistic to expect that diffusion only follows the observed network ties? This study takes a first step towards integrating these two perspectives by introducing a social space diffusion model. In the model\, network ties indicate positions in social space\, and diffusion occurs proportionally to distance in social space. Practically\, the simulation occurs in two parts. First\, positions are estimated using a statistical model (in this example\, a latent space model). Then\, second\, the predicted probabilities of a tie from that model – representing the distances in social space – or a series of networks drawn from those probabilities – representing routine churn in the network – are used as weights in a weighted averaging framework. Using longitudinal data from high school friendship networks\, I explore the properties of the model. I show that the model produces smoothed diffusion results\, which predict attitudes in future waves 10% better than a diffusion model using the observed network\, and up to 5% better than diffusion models using alternative\, non-model-based smoothing approaches.

Originally coined by Steve Mann to describe his pioneering experiments with wearable computing in the 1990s\, sousveillance refers to a “gaze from below” that can balance hierarchies between the population and the surveilling state. While sousveillance is usually considered dependent on particular networked digital technologies (like cell phone cameras that can capture instances of police brutality and share them on social media)\, Mass-Observation’s strange hybrid artistic/anthropologic media experiment decades earlier exemplifies how this practice functions in a broader range of contexts and\, above all\, in less technologically dependent ways. The movement's work affirms everyday visual practices as vehicles of empowered storytelling by which individuals can enter into larger political communities of dissensus\, and draws on contemporary interwar visual media forms as resources to enhance this vision. However\, the movement's initiatives aimed to teach the population to actively\, interpretively participate in their environment not by distributing devices\, but by embracing the affective and socially situated distortions of their own “subjective cameras.” While this idealization of distorted narratives may seem dangerous in our current political landscape of \"fake news\,\" sousveillance brings individuals’ distortions into view not to create alternate realities but to recognize what Donna Haraway calls “situated knowledge” as the ethical center of individuals’ political agency within larger collectives. \n\nPlease email Aaron Stone (stoneaa@umich.edu) to RSVP and receive a copy of Amanda's chapter draft.

The fundamental processes underpinning photosynthesis provide the basis for artificial solar conversion systems that include photovoltaic cells\, photoanodes and photocathode catalysts to generate electricity or fuels. It is the supramolecular arrangement of multiple chromophores that results in the emergent properties associated with natural light harvesting complexes\, including enhanced absorption\, efficient energy transfer between pigments\, and electron-transfer. We are interested in self-assembled discrete metal-organic assemblies containing multiple chromophores as functional models of supramolecular light harvesting architectures. Specifically\, we are actively designing systems to identify the optimal alignment\, spacing\, and electronic structure to enable directional EnT and photoredox chemistry while maximizing broadband absorption matched to the solar flux. The formation of structurally complex metal-organic polygons\, polyhedra\, and prisms (MOPs) is greatly facilitated by coordination-driven self-assembly methods which furnish them in single\, one-pot reactions. An ever-growing library of organic ligands (donors) and metal/organometallic complexes with substitutionally labile coordination sites (acceptors) serves as the basis for a suite of metallacycles and cages characterized by their well-defined internal cavities and predictable topologies. The rigid organic backbones that once served solely as structural elements have more recently been exploited for their ability to impart interesting photophysical properties to their parent MOPs. Strategies include tethering pendant fluorophores through covalent coupling chemistry and selecting inherently emissive building blocks\, with an emphasis on exploiting Ru\, Ir\, and Pt-based complexes. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nTimothy Cook (University of Buffalo) UID:52611-12901950@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52611 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181030T181643 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181030T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181030T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Measurement of the Permanent Electric Dipole Moment of ^{129}Xe Using ^3He Comagnetometery and SQUID Detection DESCRIPTION:Permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) measurements of ^{129}Xe\, along with other diamagnetic systems and the neutron\, constrain beyond-the-standard-model hadronic CP-violating parameters. In the HeXeEDM experiment\, a new technique is used to measure the EDM of ^{129}Xe with a ^3He comagnetometer and has potential to improve the current limit by two orders of magnitude. ^3He and ^{129}Xe are polarized using spin-exchange optical pumping\, transferred to a measurement cell and then transported into a magnetically shielded room. The free precession of both species is detected in the presence of an applied 3 kV/cm electric field and a 2.6 muT magnetic field using SQUID magnetometers. \n UID:56537-13942250@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56537 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181030T161056 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181030T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181030T170000 SUMMARY:Well-being:Desire to be Flawless in Academia: Good or Bad?

Each accuses the other of media jamming and propaganda\, and each proclaims its own communication practices better for expression and creativity. Technologies for Intuition theorizes phaticity—the processes by which people make\, check\, discern\, or describe channels and contacts\, judging them weak or strong\, blocked or open. This historical ethnography of intuition juxtaposes telepathy experiments and theatrical empathy drills\, passing through settings where media and performance professionals encounter neophytes\, where locals open channels with foreigners\, and where skeptics of contact debate naifs. Tacking across geopolitical borders\, the book demonstrates how contact and channel shift in significance over time\, through events and political relations\, in social conflict\, and in conversation. The author suggests that Cold War preoccupations and strategies have marked theoretical models of communication and mediation\, even while infusing everyday\, practical technologies for intuition.

She is a Rising Waters II Fellow with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation (April-May 2016)\, TWOTY futurist 2015\, Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society\, a 2010 Senior TED Fellow and profiled in the RIBA Journal\, 2018. She is Director and founder of the Experimental Architecture Group (EAG) whose work has been published widely as well as exhibited and performed at the Venice Art and Architecture Biennales\, the Tallinn Architecture Biennale\, the Trondheim Art Biennale\, the Palais de Tokyo (Paris)\, the Institute of Advanced Architecture\, Catalonia (IAAC)\, Aarhus Kuntshal\, the University of the Underground (Amsterdam)\, The Gallatin School\, New York University\, Allenheads Contemporary Arts\, and Culture Lab at Newcastle University.\n\nHer work investigates a new approach to building materials called ‘living architecture\,’ which suggests it is possible for our buildings to share some of the properties of living systems. Collaboratively working across disciplines\, she builds and develops prototypes that couple the computational properties of the natural world with matter at far from equilibrium. She calls the synthesis that occurs between these systems and their inhabitants “living” architecture. \n\nShe is coordinator for the €3.2m Living Architecture project\, which is an ongoing collaboration of experts from the universities of Newcastle\, UK\, the West of England (UWE Bristol)\, Trento\, Italy\, the Spanish National Research Council in Madrid\, LIQUIFER Systems Group\, Vienna\, Austria and EXPLORA\, Venice\, Italy that began in April 2016 and runs to April 2019. It is envisioned as a next-generation\, selectively\, programmable bioreactor that is capable of extracting valuable resources from sunlight\, wastewater and air and in turn\, generating oxygen\, proteins and biomass. Conceived as a freestanding partition it is composed of bioreactor building blocks (microbial fuel cell\, algae bioreactor and a genetically modified processor)\, which are being developed as standardized building segments\, or bricks. Living Architecture uses the standard principles of both photo bioreactor and microbial fuel cell technologies\, which are adapted to and combined into a single\, sequential hybrid bioreactor system so they will work synergistically together to clean wastewater\, generate oxygen\, provide electrical power and generate useable biomass (fertilizer)\nCo-sponsor: University of Michigan Biosciences Initiative UID:56400-13896795@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56400 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Biosciences LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building - A+A Auditorium (Room 2104)` CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181026T091530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181030T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181030T200000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:There's Always Someone Who Doesn't Want You To Vote DESCRIPTION:In democracies\, ours included\, voting is free\, equal and secret – except when it’s not.

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. If you need transportation\, please let us know by emailing us at semesterindetroit@umich.edu.\n\nWorkshop Schedule:\nOctober 16th: Use of folk magic as defense against colonial structures and community oppression - Introduction to magic mediums for turning inwards and better understanding our own intuition. \nWorkshop by Gemineye Tarot\n\nOctober 23rd: Intro to Tarot card reading and using intuition for selfcare\nWorkshop by Gemineye Tarot\n\nOctober 30th: Beat back the oppressors!

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:52176-12520852@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:20181015T104641 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181031T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181031T110000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Approaches to Research Conducted with Diverse Groups within the African American Population DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan School of Nursing (UMSN) and U-M School of Social Work (UMSSW) faculty members are coming together for a special panel discussion to highlight and discuss health disparities across the lifespan of African Americans and specialty groups within that population.

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

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

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

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

Theater\, Sociability\, and Politics in Putin’s Russia DESCRIPTION:The theater world in Russia is lively as ever\, with a range of styles and interests represented by innovative and original work. But that world is also under significant threat as the Russian state puts increasing pressure on theaters and especially directors. The substance of the great art of theater is communication\, respect\, reverence\, and an unflagging belief in humanity. Theater thrives on humanity the way flowers feed on soil\, sun\, and water. It in turn produces the conditions for humanity to grow. Theater produces and nurtures community and brings people together. In her lecture\, Irina Khutsieva will expound on the relationship between theater\, state and society in today's Russia. \n\nIrina Khutsieva is a stage director and acting instructor in Moscow\, Russia. Trained at “GITIS\,” the Russian Academy of Theatrical Art\, she has more than 30 years of experience in Russian theater. She now directs her own studio theater\, the Chamber Theater\, Moscow\, founded in 2004. Khutsieva has staged more than 50 plays in Russia\, Germany\, and the U.S. She has worked at one of Russia’s most distinguished theater academies – the Shchepkin Higher Theatre Institute\, associated with the State Academic Maly Theatre of Russia. She also has extensive experience teaching college drama majors. A specialist and practitioner of the Stanislavski Method\, she incorporates the principles and traditions of Russian psychological theater and has also developed her own staging and teaching methods. In recent years\, she has directed a major gala performance shown on Russian national TV and has run workshops for professional actors in regional towns throughout Russia. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

In this two-part talk\, I will summarize the underlying physics motivation for (and observable consequences of) two such candidates\, which share the feature that they are bound states of more familiar constituents. The first part of the talk will examine the astrophysical implications of a dark fermion that can form two-body bound states. The second part of the talk will examine new constraints on the \"dibaryon\"\, a hypothetical QCD bound state of six light quarks. The common thread of the talk will be the unique signals of fusion within or into a dark matter sector.

This lack of information of underground pipes poses a critical challenge to maintaining and upgrading underground infrastructure\, a grand engineering challenge outlined by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). It is also a main reason for the over six million of utility interruptions every year that cause injuries\, fatalities\, property damages\, and environmental pollutions\, amounting to billions of dollars in loss. Although sensing methods such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been exploited and proven its promise\, it usage in urban environment is limited because of the complexity of the underworld and its reflection on the GPR signals and image signatures. We have created new methods to more accurately determine the location and dimension of underground pipes by fusing data from utility specifications and regulations and contextual cues\, termed as “virtual sensors”\, and GPR scans. Algorithms have been devised to extract image signatures from GPR radargrams to guide field robots in real-time\, extract spatial rules from text documents\, and integrating multiple sources of heterogeneous data. Research findings have been implemented as an autonomous robotic system with the capacity of adapting to complex spatial configurations of underground networks to generate accurate\, geospatial 3D pipe models. Research findings are expected to shift the paradigm of the current practice in mapping underground pipes.\nDr. Hubo Cai is an Associate Professor of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University.

As the numbers rise and fall\, especially in this period of transition\, we increasingly ask ourselves will we ever see 'one Detroit for all of us?’ Flipping the economic development switch in a city that experienced over a half century of painful loss is an insufficient response to enduring physical and psychological trauma. How can our city begin to treat such collective trauma? We start by talking.\n\nChase L. Cantrell is the executive director and founder of Building Community Value\, a Detroit-based non-profit dedicated to implementing and facilitating real estate development projects in underserved Detroit neighborhoods. An alumnus of the University of Michigan Law School\, Chase specialized in real estate and corporate law and has facilitated corporate and real estate acquisitions\, sales\, and other complex transactions for clients of all sizes (from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies). Through Building Community Value\, and in collaboration with academic and community partners\, Chase seeks to be a catalyst for sustainable social and economic development that engages distressed communities in creating impactful\, resident-led change but\, more specifically\, that improves livability for all Detroiters. Chase is also currently a non-partisan candidate for the Detroit Charter Revision Commission.”\n\nThis class session and discussion is open to the public\, we hope to see you there.

The nonlinear cooperative response is largely unexplored and can yield new types functional control. I will for example discuss experiments in which superconducting fluctuations can be amplified by light at temperatures higher than the thermodynamic transition temperature. I will also discuss how X-ray Free Electron Lasers are integral to this work\, and how they can be used to sample the dynamical evolution of crystal lattices and of other microscopic parameters in time.\n UID:53843-13470099@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53843 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181025T150656 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181031T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181031T173000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Governing Faculty Meeting DESCRIPTION:contact amyarger@umich.edu for more details.

We provide a collection of tools for machine learning and other types of data analysis that guarantee differential privacy and accuracy as the underlying databases grow arbitrarily large. We give both a general technique and a specific algorithm for adaptive analysis of dynamically growing databases. Our general technique is illustrated by two algorithms that schedule black box access to some algorithm that operates on a fixed database to generically transform private and accurate algorithms for static databases into private and accurate algorithms for dynamically growing databases. These results show that almost any private and accurate algorithm can be rerun at appropriate points of data growth with minimal loss of accuracy\, even when data growth is unbounded. Our specific algorithm directly adapts the private multiplicative weights algorithm to the dynamic setting\, maintaining the accuracy guarantee of the static setting through unbounded data growth. Along the way\, we develop extensions of several other differentially private algorithms to the dynamic setting\, which may be of independent interest for future work on the design of differentially private algorithms for growing databases.
