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

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.

Wu is a self-taught artist. She started with film photography and now works in digital. This exhibit displays her friends of the sea and the stunning colors and patterns of the underwater world. Her “aquarium” is the Pacific Ocean along the southeastern Asian coastline from Australia north to the Philippines\, as well as Micronesia and the Galapagos Islands. Her goal is to show the beauty and character of the life she encounters\, with the hope that her photography will inspire ocean conservation. Wu grew up in Ann Arbor and is now based in Las Vegas\, Nevada.

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.

Why then is the current narrative about how business can “cope” with the future of work instead of recognizing the deep influence business has in building that future? What could a more just version of work look like and how do we get there?\n\nJim Keane\, CEO\, Steelcase will be interviewed by Joe Nocera\, Bloomberg\n\nJoined by Rebecca Henderson\, Harvard University and Tom Kochan\, MIT Sloan School of Management\n\nThis event and the conference at large are supported by the W.K.

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.

I will review arguments that the 3 TeV mass wino is one of the simplest WIMP dark matter candidates. Then I will discuss how the large separation of scales from 3 TeV to the weak scale leads to a breakdown of perturbation theory.

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. She is at work on two new books\, one on representations of global hunger and another on postcolonial dystopias. She is also co-writing a critical biography of Freddie Mercury.

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.

'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.

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. As the workshop suggests\, \"marginality\" as a concept can be utilized to rethink Mediterranean interconnectivity\, both culturally and geographically\, by considering every spot on the map as both a center and an edge.\n\nPresentations will include:\n\n\"Transmission in Medieval Marian Stories in the Levant\, Europe\, and Africa in a Comparative Perspective\"\nWendy Laura Belcher\, Princeton University\n\n\"The Girl Next Door: Reading the Margin as a Site of Continuity\"\nCameron Cross\, University of Michigan\n\n\"Against Fate: Parsing Armenian Literary History from the Margins\"\nMichael Pifer\, University of Michigan\n\nRespondent: Ryan Szpiech\, University of Michigan\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us (tumanyan@umich.edu) at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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

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

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

'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.

He was born in Halifax\, Nova Scotia (Canada)\, but has lived most of his life in southern California\, and those geographic poles are quite likely responsible for his unhinged genius. Over the course of his life he’s met Elvis Presley (who hugged his sister for far too long)\, trick-or-treated at Liberace’s house (each finger had a diamond ring)\, was Bob Hope’s favorite altar boy (according to him)\, bravely traveled the world busking before he knew how to do it\, famously co-wrote “You Were Meant For Me” with Jewel\, pissed off David Cassidy\, and can count some of the world’s coolest people as fans. He’s also an ex–high school wrestler (98-pound class)\, an obsessed baseball fan\, a yoga practitioner\, a hopeless romantic\, a smart-ass philosopher and a child-like adventurer/observer with an absurdist’s view of this crazy world and the various life-forms that inhabit it.

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).

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.

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.

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.

So when we become leaders\, we rely on what we’ve seen in the movies. We take the clutch shots\, show more emotion\, bark out orders\, stamp out dissent in the locker room\, and practice speeches in the mirror.

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:52176-12520851@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.

Ancient human skeletons bear the embodied traces of these transitions\, and of the accompanying changes to human health and diet. This evidence\, when incorporated into a multidisciplinary archaeological analysis\, points to a patchwork of successful adaptive strategies leading to social-ecological resilience in the region. \n \nElizabeth Berger is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Her ongoing work in bioarchaeology focuses on ancient adaptation to climate change\, ancient human health\, and subsistence strategies in northwest China. She has also worked on archaeological human remains from central China\, investigating Warring States period migration and Ming dynasty foot binding. She earned her doctorate in Anthropology from the University of North Carolina in 2017. \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.

Some of us claim to be experts because we try to know a lot about one topic.\nMost of us are satisfied with knowing enough about some topics to get through the day. The book\, \"The Knowledge Illusion\"\, by two cognitive scientists\, Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach\, explores why we are all under the illusion that we know more than we actually do.\nThey discuss how we think in groups\, with technology and about science and politics. They also make recommendations for how to cope with our limitations. We will read their accessible book across the six sessions. Humility and curiosity are the only prerequisites for the course.\nCraig Ramsay is a political scientist who taught for decades while coping with his own illusions of knowledge.\nThis Study Group for those 50 and over will meet Tuesdays 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. October 30 – December 11.

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.

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

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:55790-13777592@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:20181031T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181031T160000 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:52176-12520852@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. 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.

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.

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.

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:55790-13777593@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:20181029T141537 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181101T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181101T100000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Resting-state fMRI connectivity and brain co-activations\" DESCRIPTION:Resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Image (rsfMRI) signal correlations are widely used for charting functional brain connectivity in healthy and diseased brains\, and has revolutionized our understanding of the organization of large-scale brain networks and their abnormalities in various brain diseases. However\, the neurophysiological basis underlying the images-based measures of brain connectivity/dynamics remains largely elusive. In this seminar\, I describe multiple research projects that promoted the mechanistic understanding of the resting-state fMRI connectivity/dynamics. Combining multi-modal recordings from animals and humans under various brain conditions\, these projects provide new insight into the dynamic nature of the resting-state connectivity\, and reveal the electrophysiological correlates and behavioral relevance of global non-specific components of rsfMRI correlations.\n\nXiao Liu\, Ph.D.\, is a professor in the department of Biomedical Engineering at Penn State University.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520853@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:20181030T130639 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181101T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181101T113000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:ECRC Cookies & Careers : Electrical & Computer Engineering DESCRIPTION:Electrical & Computer Engineering students\, stop by for a cookie and talk with an ECRC Adviser about your job search\, bring your resume along for a quick review!

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.

Berkeley in 1999 and a B.A. and M.A. from the University of Washington. She is a scholar of modern Europe with particular expertise in immigration and human mobility\; race and ethnicity\; and colonialism and post-colonialism. Her work addresses some of the most pressing issues in modern European history\, specifically the massive socio-cultural effects of postwar labor migration on European nations and their struggles to come to grips with the radical demographic diversity it produced.\n\nHow did anti-Muslim sentiment\, xenophobia\, and populism become major concerns for European society? What are the background factors driving this political upheaval in Europe? How\, in other words\, did Europe become multicultural and what have been the larger social and political effects of this dramatic demographic transformation? Can Europe structurally and financially afford to allow large numbers of immigrants to settle and still retain its culture and current liberal policies amid these changes?\n\nThis is the second in a series of six weekly lectures. The subject is immigration. The next lecture will be on November 8. The title is THE MYTH OF THE LINE.

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.

Scholars have noted that anti-harassment policies may not be effective because they often focus heavily on unwanted sexual pursuit and sexual coercion and do little to tackle the broader climate of hostility and disrespect that sets the stage for sexual harassment. Thus\, the present study examines whether anti-harassment efforts are more effective at reducing both sexual and hostile forms of harassment\, for men and women\, if expanded to emphasize positive\, prosocial norms of respect. In a large military sample\, we tested whether leader respect promotion uniquely predicted sexual advance harassment and gender harassment. In addition\, we examined whether leader respect promotion moderates the relationship between leader harassment prevention behaviors (a previously established predictor) and the frequency of sexual advance and gender harassment. We found that leader respect promotion negatively predicted gender harassment and was not related to sexual advance harassment\, for both men and women. In addition\, leader respect promotion moderated the relationship between harassment prevention behaviors and gender harassment and sexual advance harassment (except for men) such that harassment was lowest when leaders promoted respect and prevented harassment. These results suggest that while traditional harassment prevention efforts remain important for deterring sexual harassment\, a respectful climate is also an effective tool against sexual harassment.

While they benefit from the visa policy that confers the right to settlement virtually as a right of blood\, they often feel discriminated in their supposed ancestral homeland. In this social context\, many have been converting to Pentecostalism\, which has exploded in Latin America since the 1970s. Based on a yearlong fieldwork conducted in Toyota\, Japan\, this lecture tells a story about the Nikkei Brazilians who envision Pentecostalism as the “third culture” that can help them transcend ethno-national boundaries. \n \nSuma Ikeuchi studies the intersection of religion\, diaspora\, and citizenship with a focus on Global Japan.

Basement membranes regulate numerous cellular and tissue functions\, and basement membrane dysregulation is a hallmark of many cancers and a driver of tumor progression. Despite their importance\, we know little about how basement membranes are uniquely constructed\, how they grow\, how they turnover\, and how they regulate so many cell and tissue properties.\n\nC. elegans is a powerful model to understand basement membrane function\, as it has single genes encoding most basement membrane matrix components and receptors. We have used CRISPR/Cas-9 genome editing to create a basement membrane toolkit\, where we have knocked genes encoding fluorescent proteins into all major basement membrane matrix components (18 genes) and receptors (13 genes). I will present a brief overview of how we are using the basement membrane toolkit to elucidate how basement membranes are constructed\, how they grow\, and the dynamic nature of basement membranes\, including diverse turnover rates of basement membrane components (seconds to hours). Finally\, I will discuss how the toolkit is revealing specialized\, non-sheet functions for basement membrane proteins\, such as linking neighboring tissues together and constructing stem cell niches.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nDavid Sherwood\, Ph.D.\, grew up in Champaign\, Illinois\, and spent summers backpacking in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. He graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University (with a year in Durham\, England) in 1990. He received his Ph.D. in the lab of David McClay\, Ph.D.\, from Duke University Department of Biology in 1997\, where his thesis work identified and determined the function of the sea urchin Notch receptor. Dave carried out his postdoctoral work in the lab of Paul Sternberg\, Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology\, where he was trained in C. elegans genetics and cell biology. He joined the faculty at Duke University in 2005\, where he is now a Professor of Biology\, Co-Director of the Regeneration Next Initiative for Regenerative Biology\, Director of the Development and Stem Cell Biology Program\, and Co-Director of the Embryology Course in at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole\, Massachusetts. His research focuses on elucidating cell-extracellular matrix interactions that occur during cell invasion\, stem cell niche formation\, and tissue formation\, growth and regeneration.\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided.

One of the major benefits of vehicle platooning is energy savings due to air drag reduction. However\, as vehicles at different positions in a platoon save differently from the platooning\, e.g.\, the lead vehicles may save little\, some drivers or owners of vehicles may not be willing to join or stay in the platoon even if they are advised to do so\, yielding behaviorally unstable platoons. The instability further lead to chaos in traffic flow\, which is likely to bring unnecessary traffic congestions. As such behavioral side of the problem has been drawn little attention in literature\, this study intends to fill this void by focusing on the drivers and owners’ economic consideration of platooning. We envision a freeway system where vehicles are capable of platooning but each platoon has limited size. A novel utility function is proposed to measure a vehicle’s benefit in platooning. Based on that\, a mathematical programming model is established to find the optimal platoon formation that specifies which vehicles should be platooned together and their platoon speeds as well as positions to achieve the maximum system benefit. A benefit allocation mechanism\, either charges or compensates the vehicles\, is then created to incentivize them to form and maintain the desired platoon formation. The model framework is further extended to the setting with an environmental concern\, where the proposed mechanism has been shown to benefit not only the vehicles\, but also the whole society by bringing greater reductions on traffic emissions.\n\nXiaotong Sun is a PhD student in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department.

Over the June\, 1967 to January\, 1970 period\, the conflict may have claimed as many as two million lives. This presentation will be delivered by a former relief officer of the International Committee of the Red Cross who participated in the Biafra relief action over the May to October\, 1969 period as an entry-level logistics worker\, and from November 1969 to July 1970 as a “UN Forward Observer” assigned to the Third Division of the Nigerian Army. The presentation outlines causes and consequences of the conflict\, procedures followed by the relief action\, and examples of strategies that failed to have their intended impact. Lessons from Biafra attest to the value of implementation science in crisis situations. \n \nDr. James Phillips is currently Professor\, Population and Family Health\, Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health\, Mailman School of Public Health where he teaches demography and directs research on health systems development in Africa.

This talk starts from a brief introduction on low-order aeroelastic modeling approaches for flexible aircraft in free flight. Furthermore\, recent advancements in digital composite materials\, as well as micro/nano sensor and actuator technologies have made in-flight adaptive wing/aircraft morphing a reachable goal and may open new design degrees of freedom when developing future green air vehicles with increased safety assurance and flight performance. In this talk\, interdisciplinary research on next-generation mission-adaptive airplanes is also discussed\, which is beyond the conventional realm of aeroelastic research and encompasses emerging technologies\, such as advanced materials and structures\, multi-objective design and optimization\, and optimal flight control and performance. Some recent studies on mission-adaptive air vehicles conducted by the speaker are presented.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nDr. Weihua Su is currently an Associate Professor of the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Alabama. He earned his B.S. (2000) and M.S. (2002) degrees in Aerospace Engineering from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA)\, China\, and his Ph.D. (2008) degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!). Dr. Su’s research interests include nonlinear aeroelasticity and control synthesis of flexible mission-adaptive aircraft with adaptive multifunctional structures and sensing technologies\, as well as dynamics and control of flexible launch vehicles. His research has been funded by NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD)\, NASA Ames Research Center\, and NASA Kennedy Space Center. Dr. Su is a senior member of AIAA and an elected\nmember of the AIAA Structural Dynamics Technical Committee. He is also an elected member of the ASME Aerospace Division Structures and Materials Technical Committee.

Featuring an original soundtrack by saxophonist Julius Hemphill\, the film was made in the spring of 1972 by Hemphill\, the poet K. Curtis Lyle\, the actor Malinke Elliott\, and other members of the Black Artists’ Group of St. Louis. An astonishing document of the post-Black Arts period\, the film includes a series of fragmented\, surreal “trickster tale” vignettes set in the detritus of the St. Louis inner city. In his keynote directly following the screening\, Edwards will place the film in the context of the Black Artists’ Group\, and more broadly in relation to other black experiments in multimedia aesthetics in the early 1970s.\n\n\nBrent Edwards is a Professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University\, where he is also affiliated with the Center for Jazz Studies and the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society. He is also the Director of the Scholars-in-Residence Program at the Schomburg Center of the New York Public Library. His books include The Practice of Diaspora: Literature\, Translation\, and the Rise of Black Internationalism (Harvard University Press\, 2003)\, which was awarded the John Hope Franklin Prize of the American Studies Association\, the Gilbert Chinard Prize of the Society for French Historical Studies\, and runner-up for the James Russell Lowell Prize of the Modern Language Association\; the co-edited essay collection Uptown Conversation: The New Jazz Studies (Columbia University Press\, 2004)\; and scholarly editions of classic works by W. E. B. Du Bois\, Frederick Douglass\, and Joseph Conrad. Edwards was the co-editor of the journal Social Text from 2001-2011\, and served as the Harlem Renaissance period editor for the Third Edition of the Norton Anthology of African American Literature (2014). \n\nEdwards published three books in 2017: a scholarly edition (in collaboration with Jean-Christophe Cloutier) of Claude McKay’s long-lost novel\, Amiable with Big Teeth (Penguin Classics)\; Edwards’s translation of Michel Leiris’s monumental 1934 Phantom Africa (Seagull Books)\, and Edwards’s own monograph Epistrophies: Jazz and the Literary Imagination (Harvard University Press). Edwards is currently at work on three different projects. First\, he is completing a book called “Black Radicalism and the Archive” (based on the Du Bois Lectures he presented at Harvard in 2015) about the collecting activities of black political activists\, artists\, and intellectuals including Arturo Schomburg\, Hubert Harrison\, Ada “Bricktop” Smith\, Alexander Gumby\, and C. L. R. James. In another long-term project\, Edwards is working on a book-length cultural history of the downtown New York “loft jazz” scene in New York in the 1970s\, when musicians such as Ornette Coleman\, Sam Rivers\, Rashied Ali\, and Joe Lee Wilson opened their own performance spaces in SoHo\, NoHo and the East Village. And finally\, Edwards is writing another study called “Art of the Lecture” (about lectures as a genre combining pedagogy and performance)\, a book project he began during his tenure as a 2015 Guggenheim Fellow.

Although the government has set increasingly ambitious goals to reduce health disparities\, overall progress has been rather modest\, and race and ethnicity remain as significant predictors of health disparities in the US. Transformative developments in information and communication technology (ICT) may offer opportunities to reduce minority health disparities. However\, as exemplified by the concept of digital divide\, the current context in which ICTs are being deployed is already characterized by inequalities for minority populations. Several recent studies report that mobile communication technology may serve as a way to overcome the digital divide and reach minority populations effectively. This talk describes an intervention study of the University of Hawaii Cancer Center and the University of Guam to use mobile technology to reduce cervical cancer screening disparity among Chuukese and Marshallese women\, a recent migrant group from the United States Affiliated Pacific Islands who suffer from high and unequal burden of chronic and infectious diseases.

Recent empirical contributions have addressed this challenge by drawing on rich and newly available sources of microdata to measure changes in household nominal incomes and price indices. While such data have become available for some components of household welfare\, and for some locations and periods\, they are typically not available for the entire consumption basket. In this paper\, we propose and implement an alternative approach that uses rich\, but widely available\, expenditure survey microdata to estimate theory-consistent changes in income-group specific price indices and welfare. Our approach builds on existing work that uses linear Engel curves and changes in expenditure on income-elastic goods to infer unobserved real incomes. A major shortcoming of this approach is that while based on non-homothetic preferences\, the price indices it recovers are homothetic and hence are neither theory consistent nor suitable for distributional analysis when relative prices are changing. To make progress\, we show that we can recover changes in income-specific price indices and welfare from horizontal shifts in Engel curves if preferences are quasi-separable (Gorman\, 1970\; 1976) and we focus on what we term “relative Engel curves”. Our approach is flexible enough to allow for the highly non-linear Engel curves we document in the data\, and for non-parametric estimation at each point of the income distribution. We first implement this approach to estimate changes in cost of living and household welfare using Indian microdata. We then revisit the impacts of India’s trade reforms across regions.

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.
