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

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.

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:52176-12520854@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181016T082756 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181102T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181102T160000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:LACS Field Research Grant Symposium DESCRIPTION:The LACS Field Research Grants are funded by the Rackham Graduate School\, the LACS Brazil Initiative\, and the International Institute to support graduate students conducting preliminary fieldwork in Latin America.

But there are serious challenges because the brain has tens of thousands of voxels (or connections) and each is measured with substantial noise. Our aim in this meeting is to introduce a PCA-based method we have developed\, called Brain Basis Set\, for predicting phenotypes of interest. We will also discuss some theoretical reasons why PCA-type methods have advantages over alternatives for individual differences fMRI research.

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.

A machine with access to CaaS can\, therefore\, leverage the vast computational resources available in the cloud to run advanced control algorithms that boost its performance at low cost. CaaS also facilitates easy upgrades to the control system of a machine and enables it to become more “intelligent” by leveraging data sharing and analytics. However\, CaaS raises a critical question of how to safely and reliably perform (hard) real-time control of a machine over unreliable internet connections. The field of Networked Control Systems has studied this problem for decades but has focused heavily on feedback control and stability. Conversely\, CaaS is open to exploiting the immense benefits of feedforward control and techniques used by video streaming services like Netflix to deliver content satisfactorily over the internet. Is it trivial or naïve to control a powerful manufacturing machine with inertia as one would a smart phone streaming a Netflix movie? What about increased exposure to cyber threats? I will share my thoughts on these questions along with some early results gathered on a 3D printer\, and I am curious to hear your thoughts.\n\nBio\nChinedum Okwudire is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and\, starting January 2019\, the Associate Chair for Integrative Systems and Design (ISD) at the University of Michigan. Prior to joining Michigan\, he was the mechatronic systems optimization team leader at DMG Mori USA. His research is focused on exploiting knowledge at the intersection of machine design\, control and\, more-recently\, computer science\, to boost the performance of automation systems at low cost. Chinedum has received a number of awards including the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation\; the Young Investigator Award from the International Symposium on Flexible Automation\; the Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers\; the Ralph Teetor Educational Award from SAE International\; the Department Achievement Award from the Mechanical Engineering Department\, University of Michigan\; and the Russell Severance Springer Visiting Professorship from UC Berkeley. He has co-authored a number best paper award winning papers at Precision Engineering and Dynamic Systems and Control Conferences. His recent work on boosting the speed of 3D printers at low cost through feedforward vibration compensation has been featured internationally in popular news media\, including NASA Tech Briefs and Discovery Channel Canada.

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.

Instead of using metric for measuring distances on such manifolds\, these applications often use “divergence functions” for measuring proximity of two points (that do not impose symmetry and triangular inequality)\, for instance Kullback-Leibler divergence\, Bregman divergence\, f-divergence\, etc. Divergence functions are tied to generalized entropy (for instance\, Tsallis entropy\, Renyi entropy\, phi-entropy) and cross-entropy functions widely used in machine learning and information sciences. After a brief introduction to IG\, I illustrate the geometry of maximum entropy inference and exponential family. I then introduce a general form of entropy/cross-entropy/divergence function\, and show how the geometry of the underlying probability manifold (deformed exponential family) reveals an “escort statistics” that is hidden from the standard exponential family.

Gosbee\, MD\, MS DESCRIPTION:Bio: John Gosbee\, MD\, MS teaches human factors engineering (HFE) and patient safety at the University of Michigan Departments of Internal Medicine and Biomedical Engineering. He leads development of patient safety curriculum for several medical and surgical residencies. He teaches HFE for several BME design courses\, including capstone design courses\, observation course\, and regulatory science. He also provides HFE consultation to UM research projects that involve new device design (e.g.\, teleophthalmology). He has been visiting professor at dozens of universities\, including Penn\, Johns Hopkins\, and Yale University. He has received two national awards for patient safety design (ISMP’s “Cheers Award” and AAMI’s “Career Achievement Award”. Among dozens of other publications\, he edited and co-wrote the book\, Using Human Factors Engineering to Improve Patient Safety. Previously\, Dr Gosbee worked at Department of Veterans Affairs - National Center for Patient Safety\, Assistant Professor at Michigan State University\, and NASA on development of space-based medical facilities.\n\nAbstract: Dr. Gosbee will present the theory and method behind teaching human factors engineering to learners at University of Michigan (and other venues). FDA and the marketplace expect that medical device design process will include human factors engineering (HFE). He will share lessons learned when teaching BME students about HFE\, including usability testing and IEC standards during their capstone design project.\n\nACGME (residency program oversight group) now requires all residency programs will teach analysis of actual safety events to all residents. Many of these safety events involve devices and software - which require application of HFE concepts\, standards\, or methods. He will share lessons of teaching residents about using usability testing to analyze the safety issue (e.g.\, ultrasound machine design) and evaluate proposed redesigns (e.g.\, ECG machine interface).

Everyone claims to have a \"secret innovation sauce\" that gives them an advantage over their competitors. In some cases\, this is just for show\; in other cases\, it actually does foster disruptive innovation. This seminar will examine the pursuit of revolutionary technology development and disruptive innovation\, focusing on the fundamentals of the innovation process and how to create an environment where these ideas will flourish and take off to unprecedented heights. We will also consider the similarities between historically prestigious innovation factories\, like the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works\, and modern high-tech startups - do they follow a similar set of operating principles? How do you foster a culture where team members think vigorously outside the box to invent the impossible? And...what does all of this mean to you\, as students pursuing your dreams?\n \nAbout the Speaker:\n \nBen Marchionna is the Head of Global Field Operations and Engineering at SkySpecs\, a commercial drone startup company in Ann Arbor\, MI.\n\nBefore SkySpecs\, Ben was a senior systems engineer and graduate of the Engineering Leadership Development Program at the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in Palmdale\, CA\, where he supported advanced R&D projects including sixth-gen fighters\, UAVs\, hypersonic weapon systems\, and other programs that he can't talk about. He has also worked as a flight test engineer for the F-35 program at Edwards AFB\, as a systems engineer for the F-35 in Fort Worth\, TX\, and as an engineering intern on the C-5M Super Galaxy in Marietta\, GA.\n \nBen graduated from the University of Michigan in April 2011 with a BSE in Aerospace Engineering and from the University of Southern California in December 2014 with an MS in Product Development Engineering.\n\nOutside of work\, Ben serves on the Board of Directors for the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics (AIAA) and as the Executive Vice President of the Los Angeles County Air Show. He enjoys traveling\, flying airplanes\, and of course\, Michigan football! Ben lives in Ann Arbor with his wife\, Katie\, 22-month old daughter\, Maisie\, and their American Eskimo Dog\, Norbert.

These high-performing niches exhibit organizational characteristics distinct from poor-performing peer organizations\, but also distinct from high-functioning organizations in Western countries. This article develops the concept of interstitial bureaucracy to explain how and why unusually high-performing state organizations in developing countries invert canonical features of Weberian bureaucracy. Interstices are distinct-yet-embedded subsystems characterized by practices inconsistent with those of the dominant institution. This interstitial position poses particular challenges and requires unique solutions. Interstices cluster together scarce proto-bureaucratic resources to cultivate durable distinction from the status quo\, while managing disruptions arising from interdependencies with the wider neopatrimonial field. I propose a framework for how bureaucratic interstices respond to those challenges\, generalizing from organizational comparisons within the Ghanaian state and abbreviated historical comparison cases from the nineteenth-century United States\, early-twentieth-century China\, mid-twentieth-century Kenya\, and early-twenty-first-century Nigeria.

She is the author of several books\, including \"Margaret Mead Made Me Gay: Personal Essays\, Public Ideas\" and \"Cherry Grove\, Fire Island: Sixty Years in America's First Gay and Lesbian Town\,\" both published by Duke University Press\, as well as the groundbreaking \"Mother Camp: Female Impersonators in America.\"\n\nEvent Accessibility: \nRamp and elevator access at the E.

Results from a collaboration involving laboratory data collection at Michigan State University and Kalamazoo College and classroom data collection at Albion College show (a) comprehension of studied material is needed to gain the full benefits of retrieval practice on subsequent remembering\, (b) when classroom topics are more difficult making comprehension a greater challenge\, concept mapping becomes more effective than other retrieval-practice tools at producing potentially transferrable knowledge\, but (c) better remembering does not in and of itself guarantee better transfer and application — you’ve got to remember the right material at the right time and realize its relevance.

Although they cover only 3% of the global land area\, they store 30% of global soil organic carbon. They constitute an accumulation of the remains of mosses and vascular plants that have lived and died in marshy settings. The moist environments encourage growth of the plants and retard decomposition of their remains to produce thick accumulations of organic-rich material that can be studied for high resolution paleoenvironmental reconstructions. The plant remains are deposited where the plants lived and hence provide location-specific evidence of past environmental conditions. Today’s presentation will summarize the climate sensitivity of peat deposition\, illustrate applications of a few organic geochemical proxies to peat paleoclimate reconstructions\, and ponder the place of peatlands in glacial-interglacial changes in the global carbon cycle.

Our group recently discovered that surface modification of metallic nickel with nitrogen resulted in a superior electrocatalyst for H2 evolution under neutral condition\, rivaling the performance of the state-of-the-art platinum-based catalysts. In addition\, since water oxidation is more kinetically challenging while its product O2 is not of significant value\, we are also interested in exploring alternative oxidation reactions which can not only provide electrons for H2 evolution at the cathode but also yield value-added organic products at the anode. Within this context\, biomass-derived intermediate compounds are found to be suitable candidates for electrocatalytic upgrading\, which can be integrated with H2 production under alkaline conditions. Finally\, a new electrolyzer design for decoupled water splitting and organic transformation will be presented\, which is able to substantially reduce voltage inputs and mitigate the H2/O2 mixing issue commonly encountered in conventional water electrolysis. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nYujie Sun (University of Cincinnati) UID:53785-13461542@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53785 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181029T150527 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181102T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181102T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:NERS Colloquium: Dr. Florent Heidet\, Argonne National Laboratory DESCRIPTION:NERS Colloquium: Dr. Florent Heidet\, Argonne National Laboratory\n\nTitle: Overview of Various Test Reactor Design Activities UID:57163-14121964@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57163 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Energy,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences LOCATION:Cooley Building - White Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181016T112441 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181102T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181102T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Seminar Titles: \"Quantitative analysis of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC)\"\, Chu Chen and \"Pattern Formation in 2D Tissues via Mechanics: From Juvenile Zebrafish to Human Embryonic Stem Cells\"\, Hayden Nunley DESCRIPTION:Abstracts: \nChu Chen - In mammalian cells\, accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis requires that kinetochores of sister chromatids attach to microtubules emanating from opposite spindle poles. In the absence of kinetochore-microtubule attachment\, the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) is activated to delay anaphase onset. Over the past two decades\, researchers have basically revealed the fundamental biochemical pathway of SAC signaling. However\, how SAC effectively halts mitosis progression in the presence of very few unattached kinetochores is less addressed. In this talk\, quantitative evidence will be presented which suggest the presence of synergistic actions in SAC. Hypothesis about the underlying mechanism and preliminary data from ongoing validation experiments will also be discussed. This cooperativity may enable a single unattached kinetochore to produce a strong enough signal.- \n\nand \n\nHayden Nunley - Many epithelial tissues are composed of several types of cells with distinct functions. For proper functioning of the tissues\, it is often important that the different types of cells form a spatial pattern. The specific biological details of how the cells interact to form these patterns are often not fully understood. To study the developmental processes in the absence of detailed biological information\, it is useful to test which simplified physical models are consistent with experimental observations. With insights from these models\, we identify specific candidate proteins or cellular structures necessary for the interaction\, and generate predictions of how specific manipulations will affect tissue patterning. In this spirit\, we will discuss the formation of a crystal of cone photoreceptors in juvenile zebrafish retinae. We find that the structure and arrangement of defects in the tissue are consistent with a purely mechanical model in which cones of one specific type interact with other cones of the same type at short range. We identify a specific cellular structure as a candidate for mediating this interaction. We will also discuss neural fate specification in human embryonic stem cell colonies. To study this pattern which has a length scale that does not scale with colony size\, we propose a model in which cells respond to mechanical stresses by altering their contractility.

We find that a first order bias emerges when the number of included covariates is “large” relative to the square-root of sample size\, rendering standard inference procedures invalid. We show that the jackknife is able to estimate this “many covariates” bias consistently\, thereby delivering a new automatic bias-corrected two-step point estimator. The jackknife also consistently estimates the standard error of the original two-step point estimator. For inference\, we develop a valid post-bias-correction bootstrap approximation that accounts for the additional variability introduced by the jackknife biascorrection. We find that the jackknife bias-corrected point estimator and the bootstrap postbias-correction inference perform excellent in simulations\, offering important improvements over conventional two-step point estimators and inference procedures\, which are not robust to including many covariates. We apply our results to an array of distinct treatment effect\, policy evaluation\, and other applied microeconomics settings. In particular\, we discuss production function and marginal treatment effect estimation in detail.\n\nBio: Matias D.

It involves family and friends gathering together to pray for and celebrate the lives of their friends and family members. Traditionally\, entire communities gather together to celebrate and create “altares” dedicated to their loved ones. These altars have decorations such as colorful paper\, marigolds\, candy\, and the favorite food or beverages of the person who the altar is dedicated to.\n\nHistory of Lambda Theta Alpha\nLambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority\, Inc. (LTA) was founded in December of 1975 at Kean University in Union\, New Jersey as the first Latina sorority ever created to cater towards the needs of Latinas in higher education. As the Latino migration to the United States increased\, so did the emergence of independent Latina women. With this growth\, the need for support groups and outreach programs were at an all-time high\; this was true for all women and especially for the low percentage of Latina women in higher education. The sorority’s focus is not only to support all women on a college campus but to integrate the organization into the social\, political\, and community service arena that other members of the Ann Arbor community are involved with. On January 23\, 2000\, eight Lovely Ladies promoted these values on the University of Michigan campus with the founding of Beta Omicron chapter. This allowed not only independent Latina women\, but all Universal Women on campus to feel a sense of belonging and with that\, achieve their highest potential. It would define a new role for the Universal woman—one with education\, goals and vision in hopes of great success. Through educational and charitable activities\, Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority\, Inc. strives to accomplish these aspirations.

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

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

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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520855@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:20181011T121533 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181103T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Guest Master Class: Claremont Trio DESCRIPTION:Lauded as “one of America’s finest young chamber groups“ by Strad Magazine\, the Claremont Trio is sought after for its thrillingly virtuosic and richly communicative performances.

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:52176-12520856@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:20181028T180045 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181104T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181104T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Job Fair: FAW Jiefang Automotive Co.

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.

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.

But recently\, donors have partnered with private money on a larger scale\, making tied aid an important area of interest. Tied aid has long been criticized for serving donor companies more than the poor\, but tied aid is subject to legal agreements that domestic courts can enforce. Tied aid may thus reduce the moral hazard of aid\, thereby increasing compliance with aid agreements and development. Yet few have statistically compared the effects of tied and untied aid on development. In data from 136 developing countries between 1975 and 2014\, tied aid reduced economic growth more than untied aid\, even after accounting for potential endogeneity. Tied aid also reduced the likelihood of compliance\, in contrast with the moral hazard argument. Donors interested in development should therefore exercise caution when partnering with the private sector.

However\, despite some initial supportive evidence\, little is known about when and how prosocial incentives work. Our field experiment shows that the instrumental use of prosocial incentives to increase effort can backfire. The negative effect is particularly strong for performance-based prosocial incentives\, which are\, by construction\, more instrumental than unconditional incentives\, and for non-prosocial workers\, who do not care to support the cause. These findings highlight some serious limitations of prosocial incentives: firms' perceived intentions and pool of employees will be crucial for their effectiveness.

I am interested in how he invigorates those traditions when in exile in the black diaspora (1962 – 1975)\, making his work stand out in the many black international journals and magazines he published in\, thus necessitating a different lens of reading those print cultures previously delineated as African American. I demonstrate how he extends and interweaves the indigenous South African resource base with diasporic artistic traditions\, tasking us to rethink genealogies of African knowledge production\, their generative value and currency in the black radical imagination\, and their translation and influence in black internationalism. My mission is to show how Kgositsile’s transatlantic engagements brought his black diaspora contemporaries into locution with a distinctly Tswana consciousness and epistemologies\, transforming his interlocutors and the vision of their social movements. This way I establish a model of reading South Africa’s relationship with African Americans that eschews a “counterculture to modernity” born in the Northern Atlantic\, rebutting a vertical North to South influence common in such transnational readings.\n\nUhuru Phalafala (PhD\, University of Cape Town) is a lecturer in the English department at Stellenbosch University.

In these fixed-target experiments\, new particles (e.g. dark photons\, millicharged particles\, light scalars\, etc.) can be produced in the neutrino beamline and propagate into the downstream detector where they induce signals via scattering or decay. These experiments are capable of probing models of light (MeV-scale) dark matter and can be considered complementary to more traditional direct and indirect searches. In the first half of this talk\, I will describe the sensitivity of existing LSND measurements and future data from the JSNS2 experiment to two dark matter models. In particular\, I will show that JSNS2 can rule out new parameter space for dark photon models and that LSND severely constrains a recent explanation of the 3.5 keV Galactic Center excess. For the second half of the talk\, I will discuss the recently updated MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation analysis and possible new physics explanations for the long-standing low energy excess. Through model-independent\, kinematic arguments\, I will show that many new physics explanations for the excess are incompatible with the available data. \n UID:56931-14032727@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56931 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181105T181539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181105T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181105T180000 SUMMARY:Other:John Essigmann Panel Discussion DESCRIPTION: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJohn Essigmann (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) UID:53083-13222317@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53083 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181120T123023 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181105T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181105T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Strategic Interfacing: Professional and Electronic Communicationsin the Workplace DESCRIPTION:If you are in Handshake\, Click \"Join event\" to RSVP* Not in Handshake?

Series: Dr. Julia Mossbridge DESCRIPTION:The presentation will feature examples of precognitive experiences—where an individual has knowledge about the future that s/he could not have obtained via “normal” channels—and will cover what makes a precognition something other than coincidence. Dr. Julia Mossbridge\, who contends that receiving accurate information about future events is neither unscientific nor uncommon\, will explain how the scientific evidence for precognition\, combined with what we know about consciousness and the nature of time\, makes precognition a reasonable phenomenon to investigate further through research and application. \n\nMossbridge is a fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and a visiting scholar at Northwestern University in the Department of Psychology. Her book Transcendent Mind\, published by the American Psychological Association in 2017\, is one of the first academic books to examine paranormal experiences (nonlocal\, physically transcendent dimensions of consciousness). Her research focus is precognition and its ramifications for creativity and healing\, the time-consciousness relationship\, and further capacities of consciousness that are coherent with an emergent\, more integral conception of mind. \n\nThe U-M Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies (PCCS) is directed by music professor and consciousness theorist Ed Sarath. It brings together colleagues from a wide range of fields to explore creativity and its underpinnings in consciousness and ramifications thereof for emergent models of education\, spirituality\, sustainability\, social justice\, and peace. \n\nThe PCCS Consciousness Next! series examines a range of phenomena and ideas that unite cutting-edge scientific research and age-old spiritual wisdom. \n\nhttp://smtd.umich.edu/pccs.

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.

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:52176-12520858@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:20181106T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181106T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Nancy Blum\, RC Class of '85 DESCRIPTION:RC alumna '85 Nancy Blum returns to East Quad to exhibit her drawings of flowers and to deliver the 10/19 Robertson Lecture on her public art installations. \n\nExcerpted from her artist statement:\nMy large‐scale works on paper\, rendered in ink\, colored pencil\, gouache and graphite\, portray a fantastic realm in which flowers own the space. I use a variety of 16th and 17th-century botanical images\, from Chinese plum blossoms to German botanicals\, as starting points for each drawing. Rather than alluding to an actual landscape\, I instead combine species of plants in the same drawing that would not customarily exist together in nature. Obsessive handwork creates intricate layers of visual information to be discovered over time and\, in this way\, the works become a seductive meditation for the viewer.\n\nI use botanical motifs to create images that are universally associated with growth and continuity. My deeper intent is to conjure the ‘flower’ as an active\, forceful agent\, subverting a culturally conditioned point of view that often deems the ephemeral and the organic as less powerful and of limited value. My ‘wonderland’ presents a view of life that pulses with expansive fecundity\; hopefully\, it also propels comprehension of the connectedness of all beings within the limitless energy operating throughout this world.\n\nWhen making art for public spaces\, I strive to invest these commissions with similar content\, while bringing beauty and a high level of craft to a particular environment. As I conceive and develop each piece\, I respond to the specifics of the surrounding architecture\, ecosystem\, and community in an effort to compellingly meet the needs of the site. My studio practice\, in turn\, is invigorated by opportunities to design work in relationship to an existing framework\, and the special demands and responsibilities this process entails.

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

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

Emerging challenges and opportunities. DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nSimulation models have played a critical role in tobacco epidemiology and control. Applications have ranged from untangling the effects of past policies and interventions on observed smoking trends\, to projections and forecasts of future smoking rates and the potential impacts of new policies on future tobacco health outcomes. In this talk\, I will summarize some recent applications of simulation models in tobacco control\, highlighting the role that modeling has played in the development of new policies in the US and elsewhere. Specifically\, I’ll provide an overview of recent and ongoing modeling studies of the potential effects of e-cigarettes on smoking and health. Throughout the talk\, I will highlight critical complex issues in tobacco control today\, such as the rapidly evolving tobacco product landscape\, and the growing disparities in smoking in the US\, while discussing the role that modeling\, simulation and systems thinking might play in addressing these challenges.\n\nIn addition\, I will provide a brief introduction of the recently funded UM Center for the Assessment of the Health Impact of Tobacco Regulations (the UM Tobacco Modeling Center) and information about the Center’s planned training activities and funding opportunities for junior investigators (doctoral students\, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty).\n\nThe Tobacco Research Center\n\nProfessor Meza is a Co-Prinicipal Investigator of the recently announced Tobacco Research Center.\nThe University of Michigan School of Public Health will house a new\, multi-institutional center focusing on modeling and predicting the impact of tobacco regulation\, funded with an $18 million federal grant from the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration.\n\nThe Center for the Assessment of the Public Health Impact of Tobacco Regulations will be part of the NIH and FDA’s Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science\, the centerpiece of an ongoing partnership formed in 2013 to generate critical research that informs the regulation of tobacco products.

But what could we learn from climatic variations\, disasters\, and human migrations of past centuries? This talk will examine the current state of research on historical climate and migration and offer examples from the presenter's previous and current research on European migration to colonial North America. The presentation will make the case that climate played a significant role in population movements of the past\, and may again in the near future. However\, the history of climate and migration to America suggests the link was never simple or straightforward. Each migration event had its specific reasons and circumstances\, which we need to consider in order make sense of climatic vulnerabilities and human decisions.

Marc Chagall was one of the main figures of this awakening. His playful art\, which combines European and Russian avant-garde techniques with a Jewish imagery\, is considered one of the most innovative expressions of modern Jewish art. The talk will survey the renaissance in Jewish art at the time of the Russian revolution\, from Kiev to Vitebsk\, and from Moscow to Paris. It will also discuss the place of Yiddish book illustration in Chagall development as a modern artist\n\nProf. Dr. Sabine Koller studied Slavic and Romance philology at the Universities of Regensburg\, Grenoble and Saint Petersburg Theater Academy. She received her PhD from the University of Regensburg in 2002. Since 2013 she is professor of Slavic-Jewish Studies at the University of Regensburg\, maintaining the first professorship of this kind in Germany. She is the author of Marc Chagall. Grenzgänge zwischen Literatur und Malerei (2012). Her current research focuses on the aesthetic evolution of Yiddish modernist poets (Dovid Hofshteyn) during the Soviet period.

Motivated by the conviction that the synthesis of new materials drives the discovery of new applications\, this talk will describe the synthesis and polymerization of novel hybrid inorganic-organic monomers. The materials we prepare are expected to find application in energy science as earth abundant quantum materials or as plastics with finely controlled physical properties.\nThe semiconductor silicon has revolutionized life in the last century\, from the development of computer chips to the discovery of solar cells that make telecommunication satellites possible. The frontier for silicon research and development is at the nanoscale. The incredible potential of nanoscale silicon arises from the attractive properties it shares with bulk silicon\, such as earth abundance and low precursor toxicity\, and the distinctive optical and electronic properties emerging at small sizes. This talk describes the design and synthesis of new molecular forms of silicon\, as well as the characterization of materials properties and the fabrication of electronic devices based on molecular silicon.\nBN 2-Vinylnaphthalene (BN2VN) is a solution to a long-standing challenge in polymer chemistry\, the copolymerization of nonpolar and polar monomers. Though the incorporation of polar functionality into nonpolar polymers is an essential strategy for modulating physical properties\, challenges in their direct copolymerization include phase separation\, significant differences in reactivity\, and the limited compatibility of polar functional groups with polymerization catalysts. We show that BN2VN retains the reactivity of styrene\, while post- polymerization modification of the C-B bond provides hydroxyl-functionalized polymers\, or styrene-vinyl alcohol (SVA) copolymers. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nBekka Klausen (Johns Hopkins University) UID:52163-12502488@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52163 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181030T085307 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181106T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181106T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Thunderstorms and Tornadoes: Their Importance in Wind Engineering DESCRIPTION:Windstorms cause the most damage annually of any natural hazard in the United States. In most years\, an overwhelming percentage of this damage is caused by severe convective storms (i.e.\, thunderstorms and tornadoes). Despite these losses\, very little is known about the characteristics of these events\, their relation to wind loading\, and how they differ from current prescriptions available in wind load codes and standards. This talk will focus on the ongoing and future work that is occurring at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in an attempt to increase understanding of these phenomena and their impacts. Specifically\, discussion will include: 1) characterization of tornado and thunderstorm winds relevant to engineering\; 2) interpretation of the loading from these events and how they differ from wind load codes and standards 3) analysis of damage from recent tornado and thunderstorm events and 4) the development of a full-scale laboratory at UIUC to capture these events and address potential mitigation strategies.\n\nFranklin Lombardo is an assistant professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Illinois.

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.

We use the removal tendency of quasi-experimentally assigned child protective service investigators as an instrument for whether authorities removed and placed children into foster care. We measure the impacts on educational outcomes by gender and age at removal. We find significant reductions in special education program participation and significant increases in standardized test scores for girls removed before the age of six. There are no detectable impacts on the test scores of girls removed at older ages or boys of any age. We measure impacts of removal on teenage pregnancy\, juvenile convictions\, high school dropout\, and college attendance for children removed at older ages\, and we do not find significant effects. We investigate mechanisms driving our findings such as foster care placement\, school mobility\, and the quality of school attended\, and discuss the results in the context of the literature on early-life interventions.

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:52176-12520859@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:20181122T063027 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181107T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181107T175500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:National Investment Banking Competition & Conference 2018 DESCRIPTION:Hi all\, \n\nNIBC is North America's largest investment banking competition and conference and we are close to reaching our 2018 capacity.

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.

Compared to traditional metallic alloys\, advanced polymer composites offer the advantage of higher strength-to-weight ratio\, better fatigue characteristics\, higher durability\, and better resistance to sea water corrosion and other chemical agents. Moreover\, active materials\, sensors\, and actuators can be embedded inside composites to develop multi-functional marine structures that can not only bare load\, but also provide improved functionality\, including the ability to enable in situ flow and structural health monitoring\, vibration and noise control\, as well as renewable energy harvesting. In particular\, advanced marine structures can be designed to enable passive or active tailoring of the cavitation/ventilation inception speed\, cavity size\, and cavity shedding frequencies. Although there exists many advantages\, there are many challenges to the design\, analysis\, testing\, and operation of multi-functional marine structures. Any structure that is designed to interact with the surrounding multiphase flow are intrinsically more sensitive to changes in flow conditions and rapid body manoeuvers. Moreover\, the system natural frequencies and damping characteristics may vary with proximity to free surface\, forward speed\, waves\, cavitation and ventilation. Lock-in of the flow excitation frequency with one of the body natural frequencies or their harmonics can lead to dynamic load amplifications\, flow-induced vibrations and noise\, flutter and even parametric resonance. Nonlinear feedback between the surrounding multiphase flow and body deformations\, as well as hysteresis fluid-structure interaction behaviour further complicate flow control methodologies. Hence\, the focus of this talk is to advance the fundamental understanding of the fluid-structure interaction response and stability of advanced marine structures in complex\, multiphase flows\, and to explore innovative methods to develop multi-functional marine structures to sense and control cavitation and/or ventilation.\n\nProf. Young a Professor at the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and the Director of the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory at the University of Michigan.

Construction is one of the most stressful occupations because it involves physiologically and psychologically demanding tasks performed in a hazardous environment. Various survey instruments for measuring workers′ perceived mental and physical stress have been used\, e.g.\, the perceived stress and fatigue severity scales. These methods can document subjects′ overall stress. However\, they have several key limitations. They are subjective\, invasive\, and cannot be used for continuous stress monitoring. To address these issues\, my doctoral research applies several signal processing and machine learning techniques to propose a comprehensive and efficient stress measurement framework by acquiring high-quality physiological signals from wearable biosensors at job sites. Results yielded a high of 80.13 % mental stress and 90.00% physical stress recognition accuracy. These results are promising given that stress recognition with sensitive and wired physiological devices in the clinical domain has\, at best\, a similar level of accuracy. The proposed physiological signal-based stress recognition framework is expected to help us better understand workplace stressors and to improve worker productivity\, safety\, and well-being through early detection and mitigation of factors that cause stress.\n\nHoutan is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Tishman Construction Management Program\, working under the supervision of Prof. SangHyun Lee.

For most of the 20th century\, Americans have been able to rely on multiple sources of retirement income – including Social Security\, personal savings\, pensions and employer-sponsored savings plans – to enjoy some measure of financial security during their later years. The significant reduction in poverty among older Americans through the Social Security program is one our nation’s most significant accomplishments. \n\nThe challenge we face: For a number of years\, we have known that the protection provided by Social Security may not be 100% sustainable without some changes. The 2018 Report of the Social Security Trustees projects that the program’s revenues will be sufficient to pay all scheduled benefits until 2034\, but 75% of scheduled benefits thereafter. If the Trustees’ projections hold\, this means that workers retiring 16 years from now could receive only three-quarters of the benefits promised. Moreover\, some polls have shown that many working Americans\, especially Millennials\, believe they will receive no Social Security benefits whatsoever. Clearly\, Congress will need to act to bring the program’s finances into long-term balance and to restore public confidence\, especially among current and future generations of workers. What might elected officials do to fix this major challenge facing our nation?\n\nWhat are among the options? Henry Aaron\, a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution\, has developed a proposal for how to deal with Social Security’s long-term finances and how Congress might modify the program to better reflect economic\, demographic\, and behavioral changes\, since Congress last enacted major Social Security legislation in 1983. Aaron is one of the nation’s preeminent experts on Social Security\, Medicare\, and budget policy.\n\nFormer Deputy Commissioner (Acting) and Chief Economist at the Social Security Administration\, Jason Fichtner\, will serve as the keynote presenter and describe Henry Aaron’s proposed program. Following Fichtner’s presentation\, several other policy experts will discuss the implications of proposed changes to Social Security.\n\nConcerned members of the academic community at the University of Michigan\, as well as the Detroit-area community\, won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to get an inside look at what Congress may do\, and what this might mean for workers and beneficiaries\, today and tomorrow.\n\n \n\nMichigan Host Committee:\n\nThomas Buchmueller\, Waldo O.

A tour-de-force produced by Buddy Miller\, the collection swaggers with confidence only gained by artists who are wholly\, proudly\, themselves. Michael is a wounded warrior who found his voice while serving in Iraq\, when he was pulled from the frontlines to write songs for the fallen. Tanya is a lifelong artist\, drawn to singing’s power to take another’s pain away. “You have to have a deep place of love within yourself to be vulnerable\,” Tanya says. “With The War and Treaty\, we allow people to see two people that are not perfect. We get on stage. We sweat. We’re overweight. We yell. We get ugly\, we scream! My hair comes loose. We’re vulnerable––naked––in front of people\, and it’s a chain reaction. It allows them to be vulnerable\, too.” The War and Treaty’s music and stories bring tears and goosebumps\, but ultimately\, more is at work. “I want people to feel like we care\,” Michael says. “When you think about artists\, you don’t think about that.” He pauses and grins broadly. “But that’s the way I want the world to feel about The War and Treaty.” Songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews opens the show.

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:55790-13777600@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:20181106T142224 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181108T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181108T100000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Ultrasound Elasticity Imaging and Therapeutics\" DESCRIPTION:Elasticity imaging techniques aim at the detection of tissue abnormalities following an external\, internal or inherent mechanical stimulation. By taking advantage of the additional depth information provided by ultrasound imaging\, the local tissue response (i.e.\, displacement\, strain and/or vibration amplitude) that depends on its mechanical properties can be imaged. After introducing methods for 2D and 3D strain estimation\, examples will be shown on imaging of normal and pathological myocardium in finite-element models and in vivo murine\, canine and human subjects. Elasticity Imaging developed by our group also expands to Pulse Wave Imaging for the characterization of abdominal aortic aneurysms and atherosclerotic plaques in vivo\, Electromechanical Wave Imaging for the assessment of the conduction properties of the myocardium and the radiation-force-based oscillatory technique of Harmonic Motion Imaging (HMI) for the characterization of breast and pancreatic tumors during tumor progression as well as after chemotherapeutic treatment.\n In the second part of this lecture\, therapeutic ultrasound techniques will be introduced together with application of elasticity imaging for simultaneous monitoring of the treatment procedures. Most precisely\, Focused Ultrasound (FUS) for ablation of tumors substantially modifies the tissue stiffness by up to a ten-fold in order to annihilate their function. By monitoring this stiffness change\, HMI can successfully detect the temperature rise and coagulation onset during treatment. An all ultrasound-based system providing simultaneous tumor detection and treatment application as well as monitoring will be described. Finally\, brain applications for drug delivery through the opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for brain drug delivery in conjunction with microbubbles will be shown as well as neuromodulation of both the peripheral and central nervous system.\n\nElisa Konofagou\, Ph.D.\, is a Robert and Margaret Hariri Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology at Columbia 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:52176-12520860@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:20181102T095516 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181108T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181108T113000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Construction Annual Research Symposium DESCRIPTION:The annual construction research symposium is an excellent opportunity for engineering students to learn about ongoing research projects in the construction field.

He also teaches immigration law at the University of Michigan as a visiting professor. Thronson’s research focuses on the intersection of family law and immigration law\, in particular on the impact of immigration law on children.\n\nU.S. immigration law is hotly debated yet widely misunderstood. Even as intense political battles surround immigration law and policy\, such fights are often unencumbered by accurate perceptions of the general nature and details of our nation’s immigration system. Immigration is an issue that implicates fundamental national and personal values\, but we cannot attempt to find common ground on these without a shared and accurate understanding of how our immigration system actually functions.\n\nThis is the third in a series of six weekly lectures. The subject is immigration. The next lecture will be on November 15. The title is THE REAL IMMIGRATION DEBATE: WHOM TO LET IN AND WHY.

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.

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.

To do so\, we link patent records to a database containing the first five digits of millions of Social Security Numbers (SSN). By combining the first five digits of SSN together with year of birth\, we identify whether individuals are immigrants based on the age at which their Social Security Number is assigned. We establish several results. We find that over the course of their careers\, immigrants are more productive than natives\, as measured by number of patents\, patent citations\, and the economic value of these patents. Immigrant inventors are more likely to rely on foreign technologies\, to collaborate with foreign inventors\, and to be cited in foreign markets\, thus contributing to the importation and diffusion of ideas across borders. Using an identification strategy that exploits premature deaths\, we find that immigrants create greater positive spillovers and contribute more to team-specific capital than natives. A simple decomposition suggests that 30.4% of aggregate US innovation since 1976 can be attributed to immigrants\, with their indirect spillover effects accounting for more than twice their direct productivity contribution.

These were small yet bold steps away from the field’s traditional obsession with description\, typology\, and chronology toward a more anthropologically grounded endeavor. But over the intervening years many of these ideas have become fossilized\, transformed from interesting hypotheses to unquestioned “givens.” What has genuinely continued to advance over this period is our understanding of chronology\, paleoclimate\, and many technical matters. But our understanding of past hunter-gatherers as real peoples with real cultures—the anthropological part of the endeavor—has progressed much more slowly\, in part because we remain wedded to a host of underlying assumptions\, some flawed\, others very likely wrong. In this brown bag I will identify a number of these\, and provide reasons why I think they are in serious need of a fresh look.

This political development\, described by Spain’s Justice Minister as a “historic reparation of … the greatest mistake in Spanish history\,” has sparked a flurry of interest from Jews of Iberian origin across the globe—from Latin America and the U.S. to Israel and Turkey. Based on the assumption of Sephardi Jews’ continued cultural identification with their one-time homeland\, the law promises to reward their “fidelity and special ties to Spain.” Yet\, the precise nature of this historic relationship\, explains historian Julia Phillips Cohen\, is more complex than such characterizations suggest. Using the present debates as a point of departure\, her talk probes the evolution of Sephardi Jews’ ties to Spain in the centuries following their expulsion.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

If so\, how are they likely to respond to selection? This talk addresses these questions for two important social behaviors — social grooming and aggressive behavior — in a well-studied wild primate population\, the baboons of the Amboseli basin in southern Kenya. We took a quantitative genetics approach to this problem\, using the large existing pedigree for this population to estimate both the heritability of these traits and to simultaneously examine how these traits are influenced by environmental variables. To frame our work in terms of its likely implications for understanding natural selection\, we also examined key female life history traits and investigated the evidence for life history tradeoffs — between reproduction and survival\, and between current and future reproduction — in our population.

Now\, motion planning is a technology. But yet\, surprisingly\, there are several fundamental questions unanswered. In this talk\, I will address two of them. The first\, is a unifying formalism for search called LazySP [winner of the Best Paper Award at ICAPS 2018]\, that provides a single meta-algorithm capable of expressing several search algorithms like A*\, Lazy A*\, bidirectional A*\, effortlessly. This formalism enables a surprisingly easy answer to a question that has been open for decades: is there an edge-optimal A* algorithm? The second is a formal connection between motion planning and machine learning\, via Bayesian Active Learning [NIPS 2017\, IJCAI 2018]\, which sets up an efficient algorithm for balancing exploration and exploitation for searching for shortest paths over graphs while exploiting the history of previous problems encountered.\n\nSiddhartha Srinivasa is the Boeing Endowed Professor at The Paul G.

Sainthood Between the Ineffable and Social Practice: Jesus Christ in the Writings of Muhyi al-Din Ibn al-Arabi and Later Sufism DESCRIPTION:This dissertation investigates the various portrayals of ʿĪsā b. Maryam (Jesus son of Mary) in the thought of the Andalusian mystic Muḥyī al-Dīn Ibn al-ʿArabī (d. 1240) and later Sufism\, specifically the teachings of two celebrated North African mystics\, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Dabbāgh (d. 1719) and Aḥmad al-Tījānī (d. 1815). After discussing the organization and methodology of the research in the Introduction\, chapter two explores the corpus of secondary references on Jesus in Islam and Ibn al-ʿArabī studies. Thenceforth\, chapters three and four delve into Christ’s presence in Ibn al-ʿArabī’s Meccan Openings and Bezels of Wisdom respectively. The results of this analysis is then used to gauge the son of Mary’s depictions in the teachings of al-Dabbāgh and al-Tījānī\; all the while also situating Ibn al-ʿArabī’s own image in these later mystics’ Weltanschauungs. Lastly\, the concluding chapter synthesizes the results from chapters three\, four and five in an attempt to answer some overarching questions regarding the importance of Jesus for Sufi mystics like Ibn al-ʿArabī\, al-Dabbāgh and al-Tījānī. In this regard\, the emphasis in this final chapter pertains not only to the concepts in these saints’ writings\, but the contexts in which these concepts arise and insights that they provide into the unique pedagogical and writing styles of these Sufi authors. It is in this last sense that the dissertation contributes to the ongoing research in Sufi intellectual history by also considering the religious concerns and approaches of Sufi figures in Islamic history. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to IslamicStudies@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Monitoring Sustainable Development Goals Implementation in Viet Nam through a Citizen-Centric Measuring Tool DESCRIPTION:The Viet Nam Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI) is Viet Nam’s largest annual time-series\, citizen-centric\, nationwide policy monitoring tool. Over the nine years of its operation\, PAPI has collected the views of 103\,059 randomly selected citizens about the country’s performance in governance and public administration\, based on their direct interactions with local governments at different levels. PAPI generates information about the actual performance of local authorities in meeting citizen needs. By doing so\, it has created constructive competition and promoted learning among local authorities\, while enabling citizens to benchmark their local government’s performance and advocate for improvements. \n \n Ultimately\, PAPI helps Viet Nam to identify areas that need greater attention as the country rolls out its national agenda for sustainable development towards 2030. In the same spirit as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that Viet Nam has committed to\, PAPI puts citizens at the heart of Viet Nam’s development. As ‘end users’ of public administration and public services\, citizens are fully capable of assessing the performance of the central and local authorities and of supporting the country in building a State “of the people\, by the people and for the people.” \n \n This article presents a snapshot of key findings from the 2017 PAPI research. The 2017 PAPI Report provides data and analysis about the country’s performance in governance and public administration\, as drawn from citizens’ direct interactions and experiences with local governments at different levels in 2017 and over time. It captures experiences and perceptions related to the performance of local governments in governance and public administration based on a survey of 14\,097 citizens with different demographic characteristics\, randomly selected from all 63 provinces. The report also indicates opportunities and challenges in monitoring and assessment of Viet Nam’s progress in implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. \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.

Albert Einstein once called her “the most significant woman scientist of the 20th century.” Yet by the 1970s\, her name was nearly forgotten. With the publication of the book by Ruth Lewin Sime\, “Lise Meitner\, A life in physics\,” to some extent her name has resurfaced. The chronology of the discovery of fission is considerably more complex than the facts\, and clouded by events beyond the world of science. The facts are that on January 6\, 1939\, Hahn and Strassmann reported in Naturwissenschaften their chemical findings for fission. On February 11\, 1939\, Meitner and Frisch published in Nature the physical interpretation of the process they named fission. In 1944\, Otto Hahn alone received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for his discovery of the fission of heavy nuclei.”\n\nI became familiar with Lise Meitner and her story when\, in 1972\, Dr. Sime started writing my father for details about Lise Meitner's escape from Germany. This is because in July 1938\, my grandfather\, Dirk Coster\, was the person who escorted her out of Germany. In Sime's book\, Meitner's escape from Germany reads like a spy novel\, except that it is completely based in fact. At age 59\, Meitner left Germany forever with 10 marks in her purse\, one small suitcase\, and a diamond ring given to her by Otto Hahn that he had inherited from his mother.\n\nThis talk will be a combination of facts\, excerpts from the film\, “Path to Nuclear Fission: The Story of Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn” (a film by Rosemarie Reed)\, and personal stories heard from my father\, aunts\, and uncles. Lise Meitner's early years\, her role in the discovery of nuclear fission\, her escape from Germany\, and the consequences that followed will be covered. Of special interest to this group is the involvement of Samuel Goudsmit\, a friend of my grandfather’s and a professor at the University of Michigan from 1927 and 1946.\n\nDr. Anthea Coster is an assistant director and principal research scientist at MIT Haystack Observatory. Dr. Anthea Coster has made important contributions in quantifying GPS ionosphere effects and utilization of GPS measurements for ionospheric and atmospheric studies. With expertise in ground-based radio and optical instruments\, and satellite-based measurements\, Dr. Coster successfully compiled data from a myriad of instrumentation sources (the GPS network\, incoherent scatter data from UHF/VHF Radars\, and data from the IMAGE and DMSP satellites) for use in ionospheric research. Her work on analysis of ionospheric effect on satellite tracking\, evaluation of the scintillation model WBMOD\, comparisons between simultaneous GPS and incoherent scatter radar measurements of ionospheric TEC\, and evaluations of several atmospheric density models and their input parameters for use in atmospheric drag calculations represent some of the earliest\, original\, groundbreaking efforts in the field\, and are still widely cited today. Her pioneering efforts in introducing and relating GPS measurements to fundamental ionosphere studies has led to the recognition of GNSS as a viable low-cost\, globally distributed sensor for space weather monitoring and ionosphere remote sensing.

In recent years\, nanosecond repetitively pulsed (NRP) discharges have attracted great interest due to their extremely efficient generation of excited\, radical\, and ionized species at atmospheric pressure. It is critical to understand the chemical species production and temperature evolution in these plasmas for advancement of plasma-based technologies. Such knowledge would permit the development of highly tailored plasma sources that can produce plasmas with spatio-temporal and thermochemical characteristics that are customized to a variety of applications with broad societal impact. This presentation will provide an overview of current research efforts at Purdue University on development and characterization of plasma actuators based on NRP discharges for use as flow and combustion control devices. Development of time-resolved plasma measurement techniques using streak-spectroscopy and ultrafast lasers will be presented. Efforts to characterize the local flow field induced by the rapid plasma heating using optical diagnostics will also be discussed. Finally\, ongoing work to employ these NRP plasmas for control of high-speed flows and combustion will be presented. \n\nAbout The Speaker...\nSally Bane is an Assistant Professor in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University. She received her B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Virginia and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Aeronautics from the California Institute of Technology. Dr. Bane’s research interests lie in two primary areas: plasmas for aerospace applications and combustion dynamics. Her research group conducts a broad range of research on pulsed nonequilibrium plasmas\, including efforts on ultra-fast plasma measurements and optical diagnostics\, plasmas for high-speed flow control\, and plasma-assisted ignition and combustion. In 2016\, Dr. Bane received an AFOSR Young Investigator award to investigate plasma-assisted combustion at high pressures. Dr. Bane also conducts fundamental research on flame and detonation dynamics at Purdue’s Zucrow Laboratories.

Gender languages assign many — sometimes all — nouns to distinct sex-based categories\, masculine and feminine. We construct a new data set\, documenting this property for more than four thousand languages which together account for more than 99 percent of the world’s population. At the cross-country level\, we document a robust negative relationship between prevalence of gender languages and women’s labor force participation. We also show that traditional views of gender roles are more common in countries with more native speakers of gender languages. Our cross-country data also permit a novel permutation test\, demonstrating that the patterns we find are robust to statistical correction for correlation in linguistic structure within language families. We also conduct within-country analysis in two regions where indigenous languages vary in terms of their gender structure. In four countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and in India\, we show that educational attainment and female labor force participation are lower among those whose native languages are gender languages.

However\, that diversity is not evenly partitioned and the lower Congo River (LCR) is highlighted as a hotspot of species richness and endemism within the basin. In marked contrast to the river upstream of Pool Malebo\, the LCR channel is entirely bedrock\, and littoral habitats are mostly rocky and rock strewn. In situ measurements have recorded dramatic changes in channel topology and in addition to fluctuating bed bathymetry\, regions of extreme depth have also been recorded. A combination of high annual discharge\, steep elevational incline\, and fluctuating channel width and depth result in high-energy flow regimes throughout the system. These hydrological features appear to play a key role in isolating fish populations by restricting both cross-channel and upstream-downstream movement\, and likely present powerful drivers for micro-allopatric isolation often over remarkably small geographical scales.\n\nAmong the many species endemic to the LCR are a group of distantly related fishes exhibiting a striking series of multi-trait morphological convergence (including microphthalmia or eye loss\, depigmentation\, laterosensory enhancement etc.). These “cryptophthalmic” forms have arisen independently in at least six phylogenetically disparate families (Cichlidae\, Mastacembelidae\, Mochokidae\, Claroteidae\, Clariidae\, Mormyridae)\, likely in response to similar selective pressures within the extreme environments of the LCR. Here I will present results of an ongoing investigation to characterize and quantify of this case of extreme eco-morphological convergence.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/YpURqGQKsFM UID:49654-11487539@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49654 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181023T092308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181108T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181108T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Peacetime Aerial Bombing: A Colonial Genealogy for the Ever-Disappearing Civilian DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk examines the \"peacetime\" interwar aerial bombing of Waziristan\, and in particular its visual archive\, to interrogate a colonial genealogy of “civilian” and her chronic disappearance in some arenas of war. If Paul Virilio considered the complicity of the airplane and the camera in constituting a \"military field of perception\,\" it has largely been historically accounted for through the aerial bombing of European cities. Yet such a field of perception was simultaneously forged in colonial landscapes\, amidst the expansion of Geneva conventions to address new technologies of war and fierce debates on colonial technologies of rule. In a forensic search for the \"civilian\" in contingent antiwar and anticolonial solidarities of the time\, can one ground the aerial view to a different kind of accountability? \n\nVazira Fazila-Yacoobali Zamindar is a historian of modern South Asia at Brown University\, with an interest in twentieth century histories of decolonization\, nation-state formation\, displacement\, war\, resistance and the visual archive. Her book\, The Long Partition and the Making of Modern South Asia: Refugees\, Boundaries\, Histories\, was published by Columbia University Press in 2007\, the Indian and Pakistani editions of the book came out in 2008\, and the Urdu translation in 2014. Stories from the book have also been performed by the Delhi-based\, Dastangoi. While minorities\, partitions\, and refugees remain enduring concerns\, she is presently working on a book on the history of archaeology\, visual practices and war on the northwest frontier of British India\, on the borderlands with Afghanistan\, and has received the International Institute of Asian Studies Fellowship\, the Fulbright\, and the National Endowment for Humanities Fellowship\, amongst others\, for this project.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Casa Collegiate Professorship in Spanish\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:The Spanish novel enjoyed unparalleled success in the seventeenth century\, either independently or as a short piece gathered in a collection. Although it frequently dealt with different variations of love\, honor\, leisure\, and friendship\, it also explored unspeakable acts like incest\, rape\, pederasty\, and even bestiality. Scholars working on the novel’s trajectory from an Italianate experiment (Miguel de Cervantes) to an allegorized portrayal of city life (Francisco Santos) have shied away from examining these transgressive themes. Incest\, in particular\, presents a fascinating paradox: its treatment in contemporary theater\, usually drawn from myth and folklore\, has been widely studied\, whereas its narrative presence\, freed from tradition and more attuned to the time\, remains largely unexplored. Drawing on historical parameters like the decrees on incest by the Council of Trent as well as on recent debates active in the social sciences and literary studies\, this lecture examines a selection of short stories published at different moments of the century that delved into this taboo. Rather than a form of Baroque excess\, the narrative construction of incest should be examined as a fertile tactic through which the novel engaged with national history\, societal expectations\, civil and canon law\, and the (ever increasing) institutional control over the genre.

Platonic metal solids are generally assumed to have vertices with nearly identical chemical potentials\, and also nearly identical faces\, leading to the useful generality that heterogeneous nucleation preserves the symmetry of the original seeds in the final product. This presentation will discuss how this generality can be used to access stellated metal nanocrystals with high and tunable symmetries for applications in plasmonics. This presentation will also discuss the limits of this generality in the extreme of low supersaturation. A strategy for favoring localized deposition that differentiates between both different vertices and different edges or faces\, i.e.\, regioselective deposition\, will be demonstrated. Such regioselective heterogeneous nucleation was achieved at low supersaturation by a kinetic preference for high-energy defect-rich sites over lower-energy sites. This outcome was enhanced by using capping agents to passivate facet sites where deposition was not desired. Collectively\, the results presented provide a model for breaking the symmetry of seeded growth and for achieving regioselective deposition. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSara Skrabalak (Indiana University) UID:52487-12809234@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52487 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181105T120425 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181108T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181108T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:When an engineer has a bad day DESCRIPTION:Professional Engineers are problem solvers.

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.

This work draws on an understanding of the underlying processes of formation that give rise to these contemporary conditions. The studio redeploys these processes through algorithmic techniques in the creation of highly detailed and intricate forms. We are a small\, agile studio based in Melbourne that operates globally. We have an international network of expert collaborators to enable us to tackle complex and large-scale projects.\n\nStudio Roland Snooks's work has been exhibited internationally and acquired by some of the world’s leading collections of modern art and design\, including the Centre Pompidou (Paris)\, and the FRAC Collection (France). The work has been published widely and is the subject of a forthcoming monograph (ACTAR Publishers - Barcelona). Roland is frequently invited to lecture and present his work internationally at the world’s leading schools of design.\n\nWe have a fascination with the impact of new technologies on form. The studio is at the forefront of new computational design processes and robotic fabrication techniques. We are focused on how to develop and leverage these innovations to create intricately crafted forms.\n\nThis seminar series is funded by a grant from the U-M Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Innovation Fund and the U-M Robotics Institute.

Through war\, natural disasters\, and other trials\, the ever-optimistic Candide and his companions cling to the philosophy that they live in “the best of all possible worlds\,” even when reality threatens to teach them otherwise. Candide takes us on a wildly buoyant journey\, reminding us that by cultivating “our very own garden\,” we have the power to create a world we wish to live in. \n\nOur production celebrates the 100th birthday of American composer Leonard Bernstein\, whose musical compositions are renowned for brilliantly uniting diverse musical styles. Candide\, first conceived in 1953 by playwright Lillian Hellman\, has gained enormous popularity having been performed by opera and musical theatre companies alike. While the show has undergone numerous revisions and incantations such as the 1988 Scottish Opera Version (which U-M will perform)\, Candide features Bernstein’s most inventive and melodic score\, including such favorites as “Glitter and Be Gay” and “Make Our Garden Grow.” In collaboration with the Departments of Theatre & Drama and Musical Theatre\, this unique production is sure to be filled with raucous entertainment and exceptional emotional power.\n\nLearn more and listen to excerpts from Candide at: leonardbernstein.com UID:52126-12444064@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52126 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181026T181524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181108T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Department of Jazz Showcase Concert DESCRIPTION:Department of Jazz & Contemporary Improvisation faculty and students are featured in a variety of small and large ensembles performing jazz standards and original compositions.

A tour-de-force produced by Buddy Miller\, the collection swaggers with confidence only gained by artists who are wholly\, proudly\, themselves. Michael is a wounded warrior who found his voice while serving in Iraq\, when he was pulled from the frontlines to write songs for the fallen. Tanya is a lifelong artist\, drawn to singing’s power to take another’s pain away. “You have to have a deep place of love within yourself to be vulnerable\,” Tanya says. “With The War and Treaty\, we allow people to see two people that are not perfect. We get on stage. We sweat. We’re overweight. We yell. We get ugly\, we scream! My hair comes loose. We’re vulnerable––naked––in front of people\, and it’s a chain reaction. It allows them to be vulnerable\, too.” The War and Treaty’s music and stories bring tears and goosebumps\, but ultimately\, more is at work. “I want people to feel like we care\,” Michael says. “When you think about artists\, you don’t think about that.” He pauses and grins broadly. “But that’s the way I want the world to feel about The War and Treaty.” Songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews opens the show.
