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

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

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

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. She is one of the founding members of the Cold Plasmas Preeminent Team in the College of Engineering at Purdue\, and is an active member of the AIAA Plasmadynamics and Lasers Technical Committee.

In this talk I will first discuss the case of SmB_6\, a mixed-valent 4f material predicted to be a topological Kondo insulator. Recent thermal transport\, scanning tunneling microscopy\, and electrical transport measurements indicate that the bulk of SmB_6 is truly insulating whereas its surface states are sensitive to perturbations that break time reversal symmetry. In the second part of my talk\, I will introduce a putative Eu-based topological insulator with nonsymmorphic symmetry\, which has the potential of hosting surface states with hourglass dispersion.\n UID:54293-13565703@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54293 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181017T152801 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181108T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181108T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Design for Global Health Academic Program Information Sessions DESCRIPTION:Students are invited to come learn about the Design for Global Health Academic Program!

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. As part of the design process\, we typically work with others to design solutions to infrastructure problems\, including identifying feasible solutions\, evaluating the alternates\, completing a design and overseeing construction. Professional engineers shall hold paramount the safety\, health and welfare of the public with the design process. However\, what happens when things do not go as planned on a design project? Jon and Catherine will present a case study from a slope failure project. The design process was supposed to stabilize an existing slope supporting a roadway\, but resulted in a failure of a retaining wall. The project details will be presented to demonstrate the “lessons learned” from this project and to provide insight as to what type of issues may result on a project\, even when there is “sound engineering analysis” to support the design.\n\nJonathan Zaremski\, PE\, is currently the Geotechnical Group Manager with Somat Engineering.

Humor\, choreography\, and pop-culture references are hallmarks of Patel’s work. Recent projects include commissions for Tate Modern and Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London\; performances at the Royal Opera House in London\; and building a “working-class” Transformer robot from an old Ford Fiesta (co-created with his dad). His online video and performance works — which include his 2013 TED talk titled Who Am I? Think Again — have been watched more than 30 million times. Patel’s 2017 film\, Don’t Look at the Finger\, was exhibited at Chatterjee & Lal in Mumbai and the John Hansard Gallery in Southampton\, England. The film takes its title from a Bruce Lee quotation about misdirection from the film Enter the Dragon (1973): “It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don’t concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.”\n\nSupported by the U-M Center for World Performance Studies Performing Identities on Campus Symposium.

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.

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.

It depicts a variety of individual stories\, positioned with a synchronous global narrative in a way that is both personally intimate and deeply political. In all his years of responding to floods and making many journeys he has shot a vast archive of video footage\, which is fully activated in this presentation for the first time.\n\nAbout Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:\nGideon Mendel came of age as a photographer in South Africa in the 1980’s and identified strongly as a ‘struggle photographer’. This marked him and his subsequent career has been notable for his engagement with three of the crucial political and social issues that have faced his generation. These are the struggle against apartheid\, HIV/AIDS in Africa and Climate Change.\n\nA leading contemporary photographer\, Gideon Mendel's intimate style of image making and long-term commitment to projects has earned him international recognition and many awards. He was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet Prize 2015 and recently has won both the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016.\n\nHis on-going project ‘Drowning World\, explores the human dimension of climate change by focusing on floods across geographical and cultural boundaries. By highlighting the personal impact of flooding he evokes our vulnerability to global warming questioning our sense of stability in the world.\n\nThe work began in 2007\, when Mendel photographed floods in the UK and in India within weeks of each other. He was deeply struck by the contrasting impact of these events\, and the shared experiences of those affected.\n\nSince then he has endeavoured to travel to flood zones around the world visiting Haiti (2008)\, Pakistan (2010)\, Australia (2011)\, Thailand (2011)\, Nigeria (2012)\, Germany (2013)\, The Philippines (2013)\, The UK (2014)\, India (2014)\, Brazil (2015)\, Bangladesh (2015)\, the USA (2015 and 2017) and France (2016 and 2018).\n\nAs the work progressed photographing floods became both a literal and allegorical means of documenting the tension between the personal and the global effects of climate change. Each location added has intensified the narrative impact of the endeavour.\n\nDrowning World now consists of four parallel and connected narrative elements: Submerged Portraits\, Flood Lines\, Watermarks\, and Deluge.

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:52176-12520861@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:20181101T122250 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181109T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181109T120000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Judaic Studies Winter 2019 Course Offerings Event DESCRIPTION:Students can come and check out the Winter 2019 courses available\, meet with the Judaic Studies advisor and enjoy free cookies and donuts.\n\nJudaic Studies offers courses and degrees that help you engage in the world and plan for your futures.

Disruptive private-sector innovations like ridesharing open up new options\, but also new problems. Ubiquitous sensing raises questions about data privacy and ownership. Technology- enabled services are changing our experience of the city\, yet exclude many and expand existing social divides.\n\nThis day-long symposium at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning convenes leaders in practice and academia from across and beyond North America to assess the implications of change and describe compelling strategies for shaping future cities.\n\nWhat are the differences among competing smart city paradigms? How can architects and planners integrate emerging technologies in ways that promote equity and broaden civic agency?\n\nTo address these questions\, we must transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries because the implications of technology are far reaching and interconnected—encompassing issues of sustainability\, resilience\, design\, spatial experience\, racial and social equity\, and more. The strategies that public officials\, built environment professionals\, and the private sector use to improve urban life must not only integrate data and analysis\, but also reconcile conflicting stakeholder positions\, leverage innovations\, and advocate for inclusion.\n\nAt the Shaping Future Cities Symposium\, urban practitioners\, designers\, and developers draw on insights from leading-edge projects and interrogate competing methodologies to show how we can plan and design better cities.

Previously\, he was Mannion Family Senior Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston\, where he organized solo shows featuring Diane Simpson\, Geoffrey Farmer\, and Steve McQueen. His group exhibitions there included The Artist’s Museum and the 2017 Foster Prize Exhibition. Before moving to Boston\, Byers was Richard Armstrong Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Carnegie Museum of Art\, and co-curator\, with Daniel Baumann and Tina Kukielski\, of the 2013 Carnegie International. In addition to overseeing the Carnegie’s acquisitions of modern and contemporary art\, his projects included solo exhibitions of James Lee Byars\, Cathy Wilkes\, and Ragnar Kjartansson\, and the group shows Reanimation\, Ordinary Madness\, and Natural History. Before joining the staff at the Carnegie\, he was Curatorial Fellow at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis\, and Assistant to the Directors at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia. He has taught in the MFA programs at Carnegie Mellon University and Lesley University\, and holds an M.A. from the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College\, and a B.S. in Studio Art from Skidmore College.\n\nJen Delos Reyes\nJen Delos Reyes is a creative laborer\, educator\, writer\, and radical community arts organizer. Her practice is as much about working with institutions as it is about creating and supporting sustainable artist-led culture. Delos Reyes worked within Portland State University from 2008-2014 to create the first flexible residency Art and Social Practice MFA program in the United States and devised the curriculum that focused on place\, engagement\, and dialogue. The flexible residency program allows for artists embedded in their communities to remain on site throughout their course of study. She is the director and founder of Open Engagement\, an international annual conference on socially engaged art that has been active since 2007 and hosted conferences in two countries at locations including the Queens Museum in New York.\n\nDelos Reyes currently lives and works in Chicago\, IL where she is the Associate Director of the School of Art and Art History at the University of Illinois Chicago.\n\nStephanie Dinkins\nStephanie Dinkins is a transdisciplinary artist interested in creating platforms for ongoing dialog about artificial intelligence as it intersects race\, gender\, aging and our future histories. Her art employs lens-based practices\, the manipulation of space\, and technology to grapple with notions of consciousness\, agency\, perception\, and social equity. Her work has been exhibited at a broad spectrum of public\, private\, and institutional venues by design. These include Institute of Contemporary Art Dunaujvaros\, Herning Kunstmuseum\, Spellman College Museum of Fine Art\, Contemporary Art Museum Houston\, Wave Hill\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, Spedition Bremen\, and the corner of Putnam and Malcolm X Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant\, Brooklyn. She is the recipient of financial support from Joan Mitchell Foundation\, Puffin Foundation\, Trust for Mutual Understanding\, Lef Foundation\, and Residency Unlimited. Artist residencies include NEW INC\, Blue Mountain Center\; Aim Program\, Bronx Museum\; The Laundromat Project\; Santa Fe Art Institute\, Art/Omi and Center for Contemporary Art\, Czech Republic. Her work has been written about in media outlets such as Art In America\, The New York Times\, Washington Post\, and Baltimore Sun and SLEEK Magazine. She is a 2017 A Blade of Grass Fellow and a 2018 Truth Resident at Eyebeam\, NY.\n\nBrendan Fernandes\nBrendan Fernandes (b. 1979\, Nairobi\, Kenya) is a internationally recognized Canadian artist working at the intersection of dance and visual arts. Currently based out of Chicago\, Brendan's projects address issues of race\, queer cultural\, migration\, protest and other forms of collective movement. Always looking to create new spaces and new forms of agency\, Brendan's projects take on hybrid forms: part Ballet\, part queer dance hall\, part political protest... always rooted in collaboration and fostering solidarity. Brendan is a graduate of the Whitney Independent Study Program (2007) and a recipient of a Robert Rauschenberg Fellowship (2014). In 2010\, he was shortlisted for the Sobey Art Award\, and is currently the recipient of a 2017 Canada Council New Chapter grant. His projects have shown at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York)\; the Museum of Modern Art (New York)\; The Getty Museum (Los Angeles)\; the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa)\; MAC (Montreal)\; among a great many others. He is currently artist-in-residency and faculty at Northwestern University and represented by Monique Meloche Gallery in Chicago.\n\nCarole Harris\nCarole Harris is a fiber artist who has redefined and subverted the concepts of quilting to suit her own purposes. She extends the boundaries of the tradition beyond utilitarian usage through explorations that include other forms of stitchery\, irregular shapes\, textures\, materials and objects. Her work has received numerous awards and has been exhibited and published extensively. Highlights include a 2014 solo exhibition at the Paint Creek Center for the Arts (Rochester\, MI) and inclusion in the exhibition “The Sum of Many Parts: 25 Quiltmakers in 21st Century America” which toured China\, where she was a guest lecturer.\n\nMaren Hassinger\nBorn Maren Louise Jenkins\, Hassinger grew up in Los Angeles. She enrolled at Bennington College\, Vermont\, in 1965 for dance\, which she had studied since the age of five. She graduated four years later\, however\, with a bachelor's degree in sculpture\, though her interest in dance would remain strong and she often integrates it into her sculptural forms. After a brief stay in New York\, she returned to Los Angeles to pursue an MFA in fiber from the University of California\, Los Angeles\, graduating in 1973. Hassinger's study of fibers proved beneficial to her work in sculpture\, and she learned techniques that would inform her later work. Since 1997 she has been director of the Rinehart School of Sculpture at Maryland Institute College of Art\, Baltimore\, bringing her spirit of experimentation to teaching as well. Wire rope\, usually frayed\, unraveled\, bent\, or twisted\, appears frequently in Hassinger's sculptures and installations. The material's characteristics make it similar to fiber\, allowing the artist to work and shape it to approximate natural forms and plant life.\n\nHassinger also creates performance and video pieces that explore the relationship between the body and its surroundings. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s she sought out alternative spaces in which to show her works\, such as abandoned buildings\, construction sites\, and vacant lots. Her experimentation extends beyond materials and venues to encompass collaboration with other artists\, notably Senga Nengudi. Much like her sculptures and installations\, Hassinger's performances and videos generate a desire for discovery. Usually focused on movement\, these works\, though seemingly about the mundane\, bring life to simple gestures and actions.\n\nHolly Hughes\nHolly Hughes is an internationally acclaimed performance artist whose work maps the troubled fault lines of identity. Her combination of poetic imagery and political satire has earned her wide attention and placed her work at the center of America’s culture wars.\n\nHughes was among the first students to attend The New York Feminist Art Institute\, an experiment in progressive pedagogy launched by members of the Heresies Collective. While there\, she worked with feminist artists such as Miriam Schapiro and Mary Beth Edelson and participated in performance work at A.I.R. gallery.\n\nIn the early '80s\, Hughes became part of the Women’s One World Café\, also known as the WOW Café\, an arts cooperative in the East Village established by an international group of women artists. As the Village gradually became a magnet for the avant-garde art world\, WOW served as an incubator for a generation of artists.\n\nHughes has performed at venues across North America\, Great Britain and Australia including the Walker Art Center\, the Wexner Center\, the Guggenheim Museum\, the Yale Repertory\, the Drill Hall in London\, and numerous universities. She has published two books: Clit Notes: A Sapphic Sampler and O Solo Homo: The New Queer Performance\, co-edited with Dr. David Roman. In addition\, her work has been widely anthologized and has served as foundational material for performance studies\, queer studies and feminist performance studies.\n\nHughes has received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the New York State Council\, the Ford Foundation\, and the Rockefeller Foundation\, among others. She is the recipient of two Village Voice Obie awards\, a Lambda Book Award\, a GLAAD media award\, and a Distinguished Alumni Award.\n\nIn addition to teaching at the University of Michigan\, Hughes is co-editing Memories of the Revolution: The First Ten Years of the WOW Café\, with Alina Troyano for the University of Michigan Press\, and is creating a new solo piece entitled The Dog and Pony Show (Bring Your Own Pony). She has also been commissioned by the U-M Institute for Research on Women and Gender to create a new performance piece in celebration of the organization’s tenth anniversary.\n\nMaria Hupfield of Native Art Department International\nNative Art Department International is a collaborative long-term project created and administered by Maria Hupfield and Jason Lujan. It focuses on communications platforms and art-world systems of support while at the same time functioning as emancipation from essentialism and identity based artwork.

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.

Scholarly research\, student training\, and new opportunities for meaningful change continue to increase\, especially with the United Nations-sponsored Sustainable Development Goals finding traction with governments and NGOs alike.\nIn collaboration with the journal World Development\, this international conference on Sustainability and Development seeks to bring together a diverse and interdisciplinary constituency to engage with the best approaches and means to implement the Sustainable Development Goals and assess progress towards them.\n\nWe welcome abstracts for oral presentations\, lightning talks\, panel sessions\, posters\, and workshops. Abstracts must address a conference theme and follow the abstract guidelines. The submission of full papers (from those whose abstracts are accepted) will be strongly encouraged\, and the best 25 papers will be published as a special issue.\n\nWe are also accepting applications for financial assistance for students and scholars from lower-income countries.\n\nSubmissions are due July 15\, 2018.

Working together online\, via chat and through streaming video workshops\, each team came up with a business concept designed to tackle a social or environmental challenge in the MENA region - from youth unemployment to water access to trash pickup to soft skills development - just to name a few examples. \n\nOn Wednesday\, Nov. 14\, three winning teams made of both U-M and MENA students\, will gather at U-M’s Ross School of Business to present their ideas to judges as part of the Global Pitch Competition. In addition to U-M students\, six students from Egypt\, three from Tunisia and three from Morocco will compete in the event after meeting one another in person for the first time. \n\nThe program\, known as the MENA-Michigan Initiative for Global Action Through Entrepreneurship (M²GATE) is funded the U.S. State Department and the Stevens Initiative\, whose namesake is the late Christopher Stevens\, the U.S. ambassador killed in 2012 attack in Benghazi\, Libya.

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.

From Orientalism to Modern Rationalization? Buddhism and Colonial Governmentality in Laos and French Indochina (1893-1953) DESCRIPTION:French colonial politics in Laos and Cambodia had a strong impact on Buddhism. Both countries were subject to quite similar politics rooted\, for example\, in the fact that both had Theravāda Buddhist kingship and statecraft as forms of indigenous political organization\, which the French used for establishing indirect rule. Moreover\, monks and monasteries were supposed to economize colonial rule by providing elementary school education for the population. This presentation discusses the position of Buddhism in French colonial politics\, and argues that the research on Buddhism carried out by the École française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO) was clearly driven by the Orientalist research agendas of its time\, but that considerations deriving from practical governmentality played an equally important role here. How was Buddhism as a resource for enhancing colonial rule conceptualized by the French? What measures were introduced to ‘modernize’ Buddhism and integrate it into the colonial project? Were these met with resistance\, and what were the roles of Lao and Khmer indigenous religious elites in these policies? Finally\, the presentation will situate the particular case of Buddhism in Laos and Cambodia in a wider theoretical perspective by relating it to recent historical and anthropological discussions on colonialism\, and (post-)Foucauldian approaches to governmentality. \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.

The brain regions and the influences exerted by each region over another\, called directional connectivity\, form a directional network. We study normal and abnormal directional brain networks of epileptic patients using their intracranial EEG (iEEG) data\, which are multivariate time series recordings of many small brain regions. We propose a high-dimensional state-space multivariate autoregression model (SSMAR) for iEEG data. To characterize brain networks with a commonly reported cluster structure\, we use a stochastic-block-model-motivated prior for possible network patterns in the SSMAR. We develop a Bayesian framework to estimate the proposed high-dimensional model\, examine the probabilities of nonzero directional connectivity among every pair of regions\, identify clusters of densely-connected brain regions\, and map epileptic patients' brain networks in different seizure stages. We show through both simulation and real data analysis that the new method outperforms existing network methods by being flexible to characterize various high-dimensional network patterns and robust to violation of model assumptions\, low iEEG sampling frequency\, and data noise. Applying the developed SSMAR and Bayesian approach to an epileptic patient's iEEG data\, we reveal the patient's network changes at the seizure onset and the unique connectivity of the seizure onset zone (SOZ)\, where seizures start and spread to other normal regions. Using this network result\, our method has a potential to assist clinicians to localize the SOZ\, a long standing research focus in epilepsy diagnosis and treatment.

Its provocative story lies in the first two decades of the 1959 Revolution when cultural production was linked to the moral and economic development of the new state. The state-funded Ballet Nacional de Cuba has supported the socialist ethos of the Revolution through boycotts\, producing patriotic ballets\, and initiating a Cuban style of ballet choreography and pedagogy taught throughout the island. As part of Andy’s current book project titled Bodies in Revolution\, this talk is both a celebration and exploration of the capacities of performance both as tradition and intervention. Further incorporating his experiences as a researcher of theater in prisons in Brazil\, Uruguay\, and South Africa\, Andy will reflect on his approaches to field-based research as well as the application of the arts in the classroom.

Topics discussed will include assumptions and problems with group averaging\, techniques available to parcellate or cluster the brain into functionally similar regions\, and methods of assessing within- and between-subject parcellation reliability.

The authors consider how the contested nature of fur\, coupled with differences in perceptions of status of producers within the fashion industry\, is associated with whether fashion houses use fur in their collections from 2001-2010. Hypotheses are tested using a unique data set based on online and print archives. Hazard models indicate patterns consistent with response to social movement activism based on the status of the targeted houses. When activists target high-status organizations more they can amplify the appeal of a contested practice to other organizations\, and fur use increases. Fur use decreases when activism targets lower-status producers\, as this can highlight to other producers both the socially problematic standing of the practice and its association with lesser players in the cultural hierarchy.

Say a measure of information is valid if it corresponds to the value of news in some decision problem. Say a measure of uncertainty is valid if it corresponds to expected utility loss from not knowing the state in some decision problem. We axiomatically characterize all valid measures of information and uncertainty. We show that if measures of information and uncertainty arise from the same decision problem\, then they are coupled in that the expected reduction in uncertainty always equals the expected amount of information generated. We provide explicit formulas for the measure of information that is coupled with any given measure of uncertainty and vice versa. Finally\, we show that valid measures of information are the only payment schemes that never provide incentives to delay information revelation.

One of most basic facts about quantum field theory is that only infrared-and-collinear-safe observables can be calculated in a fixed-order expansion. In this talk\, I show how to incorporate both of these facts into a novel machine learning architecture called Energy Flow Networks (EFNs). EFNs are a special case of a more general architecture called Deep Sets\, with the nice feature that one can \"open the box\" of an EFN to gain insight into what the network has learned. Using the example of quark/gluon jet tagging at the LHC\, I highlight the excellent performance of EFNs and their intuitive visualization.

Many standard Bayesian inference algorithms are often computationally expensive\, however\, so their direct application to large datasets can be difficult or infeasible. Other standard algorithms sacrifice accuracy in the pursuit of scalability. We take a new approach. Namely\, we leverage the insight that data often exhibit approximate redundancies to instead obtain a weighted subset of the data (called a “coreset”) that is much smaller than the original dataset. We can then use this small coreset as input to existing Bayesian inference algorithms without modification. We provide theoretical guarantees on the size and approximation quality of the coreset. In particular\, we show that our method provides geometric decay in posterior approximation error as a function of coreset size. We validate on both synthetic and real datasets\, demonstrating that our method reduces posterior approximation error by orders of magnitude relative to uniform random subsampling.\n\n \n\nBio: Tamara Broderick is the ITT Career Development Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT.

Datla Memorial Lecture | Dark Genealogies: Ambedkar's Struggles with History DESCRIPTION:I am fascinated by the persistence with which Ambedkar gets back to the question of ‘the past.’ A superficial take would suggest that his are not serious interrogations of history - for which Ambedkar did not have the time or the temperament. Rather\, these are fragments that pursue the faux historical tone of the question: how was something like untouchability possible? The power of the phrase comes from the combination of two questions into one\; the first is a presentist question: how is it possible for people to act like this towards members of their own society? The second is a genuinely past-related curiosity: how did something so inhuman come into existence: how\, where\, for what reasons? \n\nI will suggest in my talk that this is a fairly common form of writing about the past which is not given a distinct name because of the overly general use of the term ‘history’ for all kinds writings dealing with the past. I will argue that there is a form of writing used by thinkers who have an insistent past-related question to resolve for which cognitive resources of conventional-positivist history are not sufficient. I suggest that we classify this kind of writing as a class\, give it a conceptual name\, and treat Ambedkar’s engagement with history as key example of it.\n\nSudipta Kaviraj is professor of Indian politics and intellectual history at Columbia University.

In the nuclear community\, there is a renewed interest in improving the understanding of subcooled flow boiling and CHF (and possibly enhance it)\, since they determine the power rating of Light Water Reactors (LWR) and consequently\, the cost of electricity. There is a broad consensus that in ambient-pressure\, saturated pool boiling conditions\, CHF can be enhanced by engineering the boiling surface at the micro- and nano-scale. However\, there is still no general agreement on the actual enhancement mechanisms\, let alone a universal model. Predicting CHF enhancement in LWRs conditions\, e.g.\, in high-pressure (150 bar) flow boiling\, is even a more challenging task. In this talk\, we will discuss methods\, results\, and new directions of boiling heat transfer research aimed at enhancing CHF limits. We will also discuss advantages and limitations of non-intrusive\, infrared diagnostics and post-processing algorithms developed to shed light on the relationship between CHF limits and fundamental boiling heat transfer quantities (e.g.\, nucleation site density\, and wait and growth time)\, and to identify optimal strategies to maximize CHF in LWRs conditions. \n\nMatteo Bucci is the Norman C. Rasmussen Assistant Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\, where he teaches graduate and undergraduate classes on nuclear energy systems and nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics. He received his MSc (2005) and Ph.D. (2009) in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Pisa\, Italy. After that\, he was a research scientist at CEA (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique)\, France\, where he led several research projects in experimental and computational thermal-hydraulics. Matteo has published over 40 articles in the areas of reactor safety and design\, two-phase flow and heat transfer\, and surface engineering technology. His research currently focuses on nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics\, two-phase heat transfer\, and surface-engineering innovations to improve the safety and the economic competitiveness of existing and future advanced nuclear reactors. Matteo is also an active member of the Consortium for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems (CANES)\, one of the eight MIT Low-Carbon Energy Centers (LCEC).

Specifically\, the Pro-Thr-Ala-Pro (PTAP) motif of viral Gag proteins targets the ESCRT-I complex via a direct interaction with Tsg101 (tumor susceptibility gene 101). This interaction is necessary for the viral Gag proteins to be recruited to the membrane. Naturally this interaction site has been the target for designing anti-viral drugs by mimicking the PTAP motif. Recently we identified a small molecule inhibitor of HIV budding\, which we expected to bind to the PTAP recognition site of Tsg101. This molecule belongs to a family of proton pump inhibitors that are clinically used to treat acid reflux. Initial characterization using solution NMR indicated that the inhibitor interacts with Tsg101 outside of the PTAP recognition site. The structure of Tsg101 and a small molecule inhibitor complex that we solved reveals a covalent interaction occurring at the ubiquitin (Ub) binding site of Tsg101. Tsg101’s main contribution to ESCRT-I function is in recognition of and binding to Ub-modified cargo. The fact that the inhibitor targeted ubiquitin-Tsg101 binding was significant\, since this interaction was previously thought to have little influence on the HIV-1 life cycle. Using our new inhibitor as a tool\, we uncovered the essential role of Ub-Tsg101 interaction to promote degradation of HIV-1 Gag protein in the cell and to block co-localization of Tsg101 and HIV-1 Gag at the plasma membrane required for budding. In addition\, we also showed that Tsg101 has another binding site that can contact the second Ub moiety in K48 or K63 linked di-Ub molecules. This second Ub binding site on Tsg101 has a weaker affinity compared to the first site and its observation required the use of novel NMR methodology. Our recent results show the potential for development of broad spectrum antiviral inhibitor based on clinically approved proton pump inhibitors targeting Tsg101 and we also provided the first evidence for the important role of Tsg101 and di-Ub interaction in viral replication.

It depicts a variety of individual stories\, positioned with a synchronous global narrative in a way that is both personally intimate and deeply political. In all his years of responding to floods and making many journeys he has shot a vast archive of video footage\, which is fully activated in this presentation for the first time.\n\nAbout Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:\nGideon Mendel came of age as a photographer in South Africa in the 1980’s and identified strongly as a ‘struggle photographer’. This marked him and his subsequent career has been notable for his engagement with three of the crucial political and social issues that have faced his generation. These are the struggle against apartheid\, HIV/AIDS in Africa and Climate Change.\n\nA leading contemporary photographer\, Gideon Mendel's intimate style of image making and long-term commitment to projects has earned him international recognition and many awards. He was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet Prize 2015 and recently has won both the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016.\n\nHis on-going project ‘Drowning World\, explores the human dimension of climate change by focusing on floods across geographical and cultural boundaries. By highlighting the personal impact of flooding he evokes our vulnerability to global warming questioning our sense of stability in the world.\n\nThe work began in 2007\, when Mendel photographed floods in the UK and in India within weeks of each other. He was deeply struck by the contrasting impact of these events\, and the shared experiences of those affected.\n\nSince then he has endeavoured to travel to flood zones around the world visiting Haiti (2008)\, Pakistan (2010)\, Australia (2011)\, Thailand (2011)\, Nigeria (2012)\, Germany (2013)\, The Philippines (2013)\, The UK (2014)\, India (2014)\, Brazil (2015)\, Bangladesh (2015)\, the USA (2015 and 2017) and France (2016 and 2018).\n\nAs the work progressed photographing floods became both a literal and allegorical means of documenting the tension between the personal and the global effects of climate change. Each location added has intensified the narrative impact of the endeavour.\n\nDrowning World now consists of four parallel and connected narrative elements: Submerged Portraits\, Flood Lines\, Watermarks\, and Deluge.

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:52126-12444065@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:20181109T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Concert Band Chamber Winds DESCRIPTION:Courtney Snyder\, conductor\nRichard Frey and Jonn Pasquale\, guest conductors\, Lindsay Bronnenkant\, graduate conductor\, and Joshua DeVries and Antona Yost\, guest soloists.

Currently based out of Chicago\, Brendan's projects address issues of race\, queer cultural\, migration\, protest and other forms of collective movement. Always looking to create new spaces and new forms of agency\, Brendan's projects take on hybrid forms: part Ballet\, part queer dance hall\, part political protest... always rooted in collaboration and fostering solidarity. Brendan is a graduate of the Whitney Independent Study Program (2007) and a recipient of a Robert Rauschenberg Fellowship (2014). In 2010\, he was shortlisted for the Sobey Art Award\, and is currently the recipient of a 2017 Canada Council New Chapter grant. His projects have shown at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York)\; the Museum of Modern Art (New York)\; The Getty Museum (Los Angeles)\; the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa)\; MAC (Montreal)\; among a great many others. He is currently artist-in-residency and faculty at Northwestern University and represented by Monique Meloche Gallery in Chicago.\n\nCarole Harris\nCarole Harris is a fiber artist who has redefined and subverted the concepts of quilting to suit her own purposes. She extends the boundaries of the tradition beyond utilitarian usage through explorations that include other forms of stitchery\, irregular shapes\, textures\, materials and objects. Her work has received numerous awards and has been exhibited and published extensively. Highlights include a 2014 solo exhibition at the Paint Creek Center for the Arts (Rochester\, MI) and inclusion in the exhibition “The Sum of Many Parts: 25 Quiltmakers in 21st Century America” which toured China\, where she was a guest lecturer.\n\nMaren Hassinger\nBorn Maren Louise Jenkins\, Hassinger grew up in Los Angeles. She enrolled at Bennington College\, Vermont\, in 1965 for dance\, which she had studied since the age of five. She graduated four years later\, however\, with a bachelor's degree in sculpture\, though her interest in dance would remain strong and she often integrates it into her sculptural forms. After a brief stay in New York\, she returned to Los Angeles to pursue an MFA in fiber from the University of California\, Los Angeles\, graduating in 1973. Hassinger's study of fibers proved beneficial to her work in sculpture\, and she learned techniques that would inform her later work. Since 1997 she has been director of the Rinehart School of Sculpture at Maryland Institute College of Art\, Baltimore\, bringing her spirit of experimentation to teaching as well. Wire rope\, usually frayed\, unraveled\, bent\, or twisted\, appears frequently in Hassinger's sculptures and installations. The material's characteristics make it similar to fiber\, allowing the artist to work and shape it to approximate natural forms and plant life.\n\nHassinger also creates performance and video pieces that explore the relationship between the body and its surroundings. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s she sought out alternative spaces in which to show her works\, such as abandoned buildings\, construction sites\, and vacant lots. Her experimentation extends beyond materials and venues to encompass collaboration with other artists\, notably Senga Nengudi. Much like her sculptures and installations\, Hassinger's performances and videos generate a desire for discovery. Usually focused on movement\, these works\, though seemingly about the mundane\, bring life to simple gestures and actions.\n\nHolly Hughes\nHolly Hughes is an internationally acclaimed performance artist whose work maps the troubled fault lines of identity. Her combination of poetic imagery and political satire has earned her wide attention and placed her work at the center of America’s culture wars.\n\nHughes was among the first students to attend The New York Feminist Art Institute\, an experiment in progressive pedagogy launched by members of the Heresies Collective. While there\, she worked with feminist artists such as Miriam Schapiro and Mary Beth Edelson and participated in performance work at A.I.R. gallery.\n\nIn the early '80s\, Hughes became part of the Women’s One World Café\, also known as the WOW Café\, an arts cooperative in the East Village established by an international group of women artists. As the Village gradually became a magnet for the avant-garde art world\, WOW served as an incubator for a generation of artists.\n\nHughes has performed at venues across North America\, Great Britain and Australia including the Walker Art Center\, the Wexner Center\, the Guggenheim Museum\, the Yale Repertory\, the Drill Hall in London\, and numerous universities. She has published two books: Clit Notes: A Sapphic Sampler and O Solo Homo: The New Queer Performance\, co-edited with Dr. David Roman. In addition\, her work has been widely anthologized and has served as foundational material for performance studies\, queer studies and feminist performance studies.\n\nHughes has received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the New York State Council\, the Ford Foundation\, and the Rockefeller Foundation\, among others. She is the recipient of two Village Voice Obie awards\, a Lambda Book Award\, a GLAAD media award\, and a Distinguished Alumni Award.\n\nIn addition to teaching at the University of Michigan\, Hughes is co-editing Memories of the Revolution: The First Ten Years of the WOW Café\, with Alina Troyano for the University of Michigan Press\, and is creating a new solo piece entitled The Dog and Pony Show (Bring Your Own Pony).

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.

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:52176-12520862@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:20181002T131938 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181110T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181110T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Scientist Spotlight DESCRIPTION:Visit with University of Michigan scientists and participate in engaging\, hands-on activities to learn about their cutting-edge research!

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:52126-12444066@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:20180730T095340 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181110T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Keller Williams Duo DESCRIPTION:Keller writes: \"Usually\, I play places without seats. My looping show comes in handy at those establishments. Occasionally\, I'm allowed to play really nice places with actual places to sit. It's these types of places that I feel acoustic music is truly what the rooms were intended for. With that in mind\, I'm proud to announce that Danton Boller on the big acoustic double bass will join me as a duo in those almost perfect rooms. Just because these shows are loopless\, it doesn't mean it won't be super funky. Funk is in the mind\, the soul and also in the right hand of Danton Boller. I'm excited to explore the ideas of acoustic dance music with only the big bass\, a couple of acoustic guitars and a whole lotta songs to choose from. Danton is in my band KWahtro and has done a bunch of Grateful Grass gigs so ... these shows could get real freaky.

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.

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

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

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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520863@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:20181010T131847 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181111T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181111T160000 SUMMARY:Other:Turner Geriatrics Clinic Jewelry Sale DESCRIPTION:Annual Turner Geriatrics Clinic Jewelry Sale\n\nSunday\, November 11\,2018\, 1:00-4:00pm\n\nVintage and Costume jewelry donated for this fun\, fabulous sale!\nCash or Check ONLY!\nAll proceeds benefit the Turner Geriatrics Social Work and Community Programs.\n\nFor more information please call Emily New at 734-764-2556\nJewelry Donations accepted year round.

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:52126-12444067@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:20181005T121523 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181111T150000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Don Chisholm Jazz Vocal Masterclass with Sunny Wilkinson DESCRIPTION:Vocalist Sunny Wilkinson and pianist Ellen Rowe coach U-M jazz and musical theatre vocalists and pianists.

As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

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

In all his years of responding to floods and making many journeys he has shot a vast archive of video footage\, which is fully activated in this presentation for the first time.\n\nAbout Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:\nGideon Mendel came of age as a photographer in South Africa in the 1980’s and identified strongly as a ‘struggle photographer’. This marked him and his subsequent career has been notable for his engagement with three of the crucial political and social issues that have faced his generation. These are the struggle against apartheid\, HIV/AIDS in Africa and Climate Change.\n\nA leading contemporary photographer\, Gideon Mendel's intimate style of image making and long-term commitment to projects has earned him international recognition and many awards. He was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet Prize 2015 and recently has won both the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016.\n\nHis on-going project ‘Drowning World\, explores the human dimension of climate change by focusing on floods across geographical and cultural boundaries. By highlighting the personal impact of flooding he evokes our vulnerability to global warming questioning our sense of stability in the world.\n\nThe work began in 2007\, when Mendel photographed floods in the UK and in India within weeks of each other. He was deeply struck by the contrasting impact of these events\, and the shared experiences of those affected.\n\nSince then he has endeavoured to travel to flood zones around the world visiting Haiti (2008)\, Pakistan (2010)\, Australia (2011)\, Thailand (2011)\, Nigeria (2012)\, Germany (2013)\, The Philippines (2013)\, The UK (2014)\, India (2014)\, Brazil (2015)\, Bangladesh (2015)\, the USA (2015 and 2017) and France (2016 and 2018).\n\nAs the work progressed photographing floods became both a literal and allegorical means of documenting the tension between the personal and the global effects of climate change. Each location added has intensified the narrative impact of the endeavour.\n\nDrowning World now consists of four parallel and connected narrative elements: Submerged Portraits\, Flood Lines\, Watermarks\, and Deluge.

Unfortunately\, none of the books that belonged to this monastery have survived intact. As the manuscripts were torn to pieces and sold to various individuals\, fragments of them are scattered today in different collections around the world. The University of Michigan features prominently as one of the most significant repositories of White Monastery fragments. Using some of these\, our workshop aims to document the content of the White Monastery library\, offering at the same time a glimpse into the methods of reconstructing dismembered manuscripts out of scattered fragments.\n\nThis workshop will be presented by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The workshop is offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Stimulus-driven attention\, or the guidance of attention based on the characteristics of a stimulus\, can also benefit working memory when it is drawn to relevant information\, but this mechanism is not yet understood. To this end\, we proposed two hypotheses: first\, that salience detection brain regions and processes would directly benefit working memory\, and second\, that working memory for information that elicits stimulus-driven attention would be improved indirectly through the enhancement of controlled processing. To test these ideas\, we conducted two experiments using functional MRI and event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Our results showed increased activation only in cognitive control regions associated with the encoding of salient information. Our ERP results further corroborated this finding\, showing larger amplitude in a parietal P3 potential associated with controlled processing of target information. Thus\, we concluded that stimulus-driven attention can benefit working memory indirectly when cognitive control is enhanced to maintain task goals.

This paper studies the interaction between corrective and redistributive motives in a general optimal taxation framework\, and delivers empirically implementable sufficient statistics formulas for determining the optimal commodity tax.\n\nThe optimal sin tax is increasing in the price elasticity of demand\, increasing in the degree to which lower-income consumers are more biased or more elastic to the tax\, decreasing in the extent to which consumption is concentrated among the poor\, and decreasing in income effects\, because income effects imply that commodity taxes create labor supply distortions.\n\nContrary to common intuitions\, stronger preferences for redistribution can increase the optimal sin tax\, if lower-income consumers are more responsive to taxes or are more biased. As an application\, we estimate the optimal nationwide tax on sugar-sweetened beverages\, using Nielsen Homescan data and a specially designed survey measuring nutrition knowledge and self-control. Our estimates imply that current city-level taxes in Berkeley and elsewhere are somewhat lower than the social optimum.

DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: Children's ability to control their thoughts and behaviors is critical for school readiness and academic success. Children are constantly expected to pay attention\, follow rules\, and concentrate on various tasks. For young students\, this means having to wait their turn to engage in activities\, raise their hands before speaking\, and resist becoming distracted by peers. Understanding how the early school context shapes the cognitive mechanisms underlying these behaviors is central to my research. Specifically\, I study the development of executive function (EF) and self-regulatory abilities\, and how they contribute to children's emerging academic skills during the transition to school. Grounded in an interdisciplinary developmental science perspective\, and by employing longitudinal and experimental methodology\, I will discuss three related lines of research related to EF development in the school context. In the first set of studies\, I will present our recent efforts towards developing and validating a new set of school-based EF assessments in young children. The second line of research will focus on the importance of EF components\, and their impact on children's academic achievement across development. I will also present our recent work examining the causal effect of preschool\, and kindergarten on children's EF growth\, using school cutoff\, and regression discontinuity designs.

The mechanism for this behavior is not understood. We consider simplified models for durotaxis based on the classic persistent random walker scheme. Even a one- dimensional model of this type sheds interesting light on the classes of behavior cells might exhibit. Our results strongly indicate that cells must be able to sense the gradient of stiffness in order to show the effects observed in experiment. This is in contrast to the claims in recent publications that it is sufficient for cells to be more persistent in their motion on stiff substrates to show durotaxis: i.e.\, if would be enough to sense the value of the stiffness.\n UID:55304-13716037@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55304 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180914T103922 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181112T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181112T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

DESCRIPTION: The vast majority of our gene products are noncoding RNA molecules\, many of which have elaborate three-dimensional structures. Despite the importance of RNA tertiary structure in gene expression\, the scope of our knowledge about RNA structure and molecular recognition is limited. This is largely due to the small number of high resolution RNA structures and a paucity of studies on small molecule recognition by RNA. To address this problem\, we have focused on understanding the molecular architecture and catalytic mechanism of group II introns\, which are RNAs that catalyze their own splicing. We have also used the catalytic activity of group II introns to carry out high throughput screening of small molecule inhibitors\, which we have optimized and developed as antifungal agents. These studies have been complemented by parallel studies on other long noncoding RNAs that lack catalytic activity\, with the goal of identifying approaches for understanding and targeting RNA tertiary structures within the large network of regulatory lncRNAs. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAnna Marie Pyle (Yale University) UID:50829-11876205@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50829 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chemistry 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181026T130429 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181112T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181112T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sexual Harassment in Medicine DESCRIPTION:The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine recently published a report on the impact of sexual harassment on the career advancement of women in academic scientific\, technical\, and medical fields. The report identifies key findings on the causes and impacts of sexual harassment in academia and makes recommendations to address and prevent it.\n\nThis event will include a summary of the report\, discussion from the report’s co-authors\, commentary from disciplinary experts\, and Q&A with the audience. A reception will follow. \n\nWelcome by Mark Schlissel\, President of the University of Michigan \n\nPANELISTS : \n- Reshma Jagsi\, Professor and Deputy Chair in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Michigan Medicine\; Director of the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine\, University of Michigan\n\n- Paula A.

Thurnau Professor of Women’s Studies\, U-M\; National Academies committee member and report co-author\n\nPersistent sexual harassment in STEM fields\, and its adverse impacts on women’s careers\, jeopardizes progress in closing the gender gap\, damages research integrity\, and results in a costly loss of talent. Academic sciences\, engineering\, and medicine share characteristics that create conditions for harassment\, but many findings of the report are not limited to STEM field settings. Other fields within academia can be similarly male-dominated\, hierarchical work and learning settings in which abusive cultures may form. Such environments can silence and limit the career opportunities for both the targets of the sexual harassment and bystanders\, causing both men and women to leave their fields.\n\nThe panel will offer broad discussion of use to any member of the university community or the public interested in sexual harassment in academia. \n\nSexual Harassment in the Academy Panel Discussion Series is presented by IRWG and the Office of Research\, with co-sponsorship from: ADVANCE\, The Office for Health Equity and Inclusion\, the College of Literature Sciences\, and the Arts\, and the College of Engineering\n\nQuestions or for accessibility information\, please contact irwg@umich.edu or (734) 764-9537.

Further\, over the past decade the U.S. has made an effort to shrink the size of its military--while at the same time increasing its responsibilities and engagement around the world. Meanwhile\, in the absence of mandatory service we see a growing demographic divide between policymakers who chart the course for war or peace and the people and families who bear the brunt of fighting and deployment.\n\nWith those contexts in mind\, panelists and audience members will discuss issues such as: what are the cascading effects of policy decisions on active duty folks\, national guard members\, and their families? When policies change at the top level\, what are the impacts on those who are serving? \n\nAnd what should future policy leaders understand about veterans' issues--transition to civilian life\, workforce/employment issues\, mental health and substance abuse\, demographic trends in the composition of the veteran population\, the future and long-term sustainability of Veterans Affairs\, etc?\n\n\nPanelists:\n\nU.S. Army Captain Heath Bergmann (MPP '19)\, Masters of Public Policy student at the Ford School.\n\nJan Malaikal\, Chief administrator for LSA Chemistry\, retired U.S. Army officer.

Refreshments will be provided.\n\nDr. Frank Feder from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities will discuss the reconstruction of the Coptic Bible. The Coptic translation of the Old Testament is one of the oldest Christian versions of the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible\, the Septuagint (LXX). Manuscripts with Coptic biblical texts can be dated back to the late third and early fourth century. Thus\, the Coptic manuscripts are often older than the extant Greek manuscript transmission. Moreover\, the earliest Coptic texts show different dialectal varieties. The extreme dispersal of the Coptic manuscripts\, mainly in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries\, over about 106 different collections in Europe and North America has prevented until today a complete reconstruction and edition of the Coptic Old Testament. The Göttingen Academy project created a Virtual Manuscript Room to virtually reunify the dispersed manuscripts for a digital edition on the internet.\n\nDr. Alin Suciu\, also from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities\, will discuss the White Monastery. Only fragments and dismembered leaves have survived from the manuscripts of the White Monastery\, which once possessed the most important Coptic library in Egypt. The vestiges of these manuscripts are scattered today in numerous collections all over the world. This lecture discusses the way in which the first fragments of the White Monastery manuscripts emerged from their cache in the second half of the 18th century to be integrated in Western collections. He will also show how scholars have virtually reconstructed the library in modern times\, and the impact of this endeavour on our knowledge of Coptic literature.\n\nThis event is offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

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

As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

It depicts a variety of individual stories\, positioned with a synchronous global narrative in a way that is both personally intimate and deeply political. In all his years of responding to floods and making many journeys he has shot a vast archive of video footage\, which is fully activated in this presentation for the first time.\n\nAbout Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:\nGideon Mendel came of age as a photographer in South Africa in the 1980’s and identified strongly as a ‘struggle photographer’. This marked him and his subsequent career has been notable for his engagement with three of the crucial political and social issues that have faced his generation. These are the struggle against apartheid\, HIV/AIDS in Africa and Climate Change.\n\nA leading contemporary photographer\, Gideon Mendel's intimate style of image making and long-term commitment to projects has earned him international recognition and many awards. He was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet Prize 2015 and recently has won both the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016.\n\nHis on-going project ‘Drowning World\, explores the human dimension of climate change by focusing on floods across geographical and cultural boundaries. By highlighting the personal impact of flooding he evokes our vulnerability to global warming questioning our sense of stability in the world.\n\nThe work began in 2007\, when Mendel photographed floods in the UK and in India within weeks of each other. He was deeply struck by the contrasting impact of these events\, and the shared experiences of those affected.\n\nSince then he has endeavoured to travel to flood zones around the world visiting Haiti (2008)\, Pakistan (2010)\, Australia (2011)\, Thailand (2011)\, Nigeria (2012)\, Germany (2013)\, The Philippines (2013)\, The UK (2014)\, India (2014)\, Brazil (2015)\, Bangladesh (2015)\, the USA (2015 and 2017) and France (2016 and 2018).\n\nAs the work progressed photographing floods became both a literal and allegorical means of documenting the tension between the personal and the global effects of climate change. Each location added has intensified the narrative impact of the endeavour.\n\nDrowning World now consists of four parallel and connected narrative elements: Submerged Portraits\, Flood Lines\, Watermarks\, and Deluge.

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:52176-12520865@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:20181109T150757 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181113T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181113T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GIS Day Events DESCRIPTION:A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture\, store\, manipulate\, analyze\, manage\, and present all types of geographical data.

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

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

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

Popular discourse as well as scholarly research in this field has been reactive to the expansion of China’s economic and policy interests in Africa since 2006. This brings with it a dismissal or erasure of earlier periods of China-Africa engagement\, that are deemed less significant when measured against the scale and speed of today’s relationships. As a historian\, Professor Monson wishes to challenge this assumption as a backward projection of metrics that can underestimate\, in hindsight\, the historicity of China and Africa on their own terms. So that\, for example\, a tiny Chinese-built shoe factory on Zanzibar\, or a small-scale irrigated rice farm in the Gambia\, could have an amplified role and meaning in its own time. The Chinese role model offered an alternative imagining for an African future\, one that whether embraced or rejected made a difference on the global stage. Africa and Africans made a difference domestically for China\, too\, through a range of solidarities expressed through literature\, drama\, film and in person as delegations of youth\, women\, athletes and journalists traveled abroad. \n \nJamie Monson is Director of the African Studies Center and Professor of History at Michigan State University. Her background is deeply rooted in East African environmental history and the relationship between development\, resource use and landscape change in Africa. A recognized researcher and scholar\, Professor Monson's efforts have established her as a pioneer in China-Africa development studies. Her book\, \"Africa’s Freedom Railway: How a Chinese Development Project Changed Lives and Livelihoods in Tanzania\,\" explores the TAZARA railway\, which was built with Chinese development aid. Her most recent project is a book and documentary film based on life histories of TAZARA railway workers in Tanzania\, Zambia and China. Monson teaches courses on African environmental history\, history of science and technology in Africa\, and has led workshops on ethics of community engagement.\n\nCo-sponsored by the African Studies Center\, University of Michigan.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

When Norman Eisen moved into the US ambassador’s residence in Prague\, returning to the land his mother had fled after the Holocaust\, he was startled to discover swastikas hidden beneath the furniture in his new home. These symbols of Nazi Germany were remnants of the residence’s forgotten history\, and evidence that we never live far from the past.\n \nFrom that discovery unspooled the twisting\, captivating tale of four of the remarkable people who had called this palace home. Their story is Europe’s\, and The Last Palace chronicles the upheavals that transformed the continent over the past century. There was the optimistic Jewish financial baron\, Otto Petschek\, who built the palace after World War I as a statement of his faith in democracy\, only to have that faith shattered\; Rudolf Toussaint\, the cultured\, compromised German general who occupied the palace during World War II\, ultimately putting his life at risk to save the house and Prague itself from destruction\; Laurence Steinhardt\, the first postwar US ambassador whose quixotic struggle to keep the palace out of Communist hands was paired with his pitched efforts to rescue the country from Soviet domination\; and Shirley Temple Black\, an eyewitness to the crushing of the 1968 Prague Spring by Soviet tanks\, who determined to return to Prague and help end totalitarianism—and did just that as US ambassador in 1989.\n \nWeaving in the life of Eisen’s own mother to demonstrate how those without power and privilege moved through history\, The Last Palace tells the dramatic and surprisingly cyclical tale of the triumph of liberal democracy.\n\nNorman Eisen is a senior fellow at Brookings and a CNN commentator and chairs the watchdog group CREW. He served as US ambassador to the Czech Republic from 2011 to 2014\, and as President Obama’s ethics czar from 2009 to 2011. His writing has appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, and many other publications. The Last Palace is his first book.

Beyond Left and Right: Grassroots Social Movements and Nicaragua's Civic Insurrection DESCRIPTION:This talk offers some starting points for understanding Nicaragua’s civic insurrection via an account of social movements that oppose the state’s proposal for an Interoceanic Grand Canal. The opposition has been represented in the now defunct National Dialogue with the state by the Civic Alliance for Justice and Democracy\, an amalgam of diverse interests from the private sector\, student movement\, grassroots social movements\, and civil society. Spanning the political spectrum\, these groups make for strange bedfellows\, giving the Alliance a certain ideological incoherence beyond the desire to see Ortega and Murillo step down\, a restoration of democratic institutions\, and an end to the violence. An examination of grassroots social movements\, however\, provides an often-overlooked entry point into the roots of the civic insurrection. These movements illustrate why traditional ideological and political divisions between the Latin American Left and Right have limited utility for parsing relationships among diverse opposition actors and the self-proclaimed socialist state. An analysis of the factors that drive grassroots resistance to Ortega and Murillo\, such as economic policy\, corruption\, growing authoritarianism\, state violence\, racism\, and land dispossession\, reveal a Sandinista state that no longer embraces Leftist politics and a country that has outgrown its old political categories. \n \nJennifer Goett is Associate Professor of Comparative Cultures and Politics at James Madison College\, Michigan State University. She is a cultural anthropologist\, specializing in political and feminist anthropology. Her research interests include race\, gender and feminist theory\, social movements\, human rights\, violence and the state\, and critical security studies in Latin America. She has published work on indigenous and Afrodescendant social movements for multicultural rights in Central America\, particularly Nicaragua\, and on state sexual violence\, racialized policing\, and infrastructure megaprojects. Goett is the author of Black Autonomy: Race\, Gender\, and Afro-Nicaraguan Activism (Stanford University Press 2016). The book examines the gendered strategies that Afrodescendant Creole women and men use to assert autonomy over their bodies\, labor\, and spaces in the context of drug war militarization and state violence in postwar Nicaragua. Her articles have appeared in American Ethnologist\, Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology\, The North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA) News blog\, and other journals and edited volumes. For two decades\, she has engaged in activist work with indigenous and Afrodescendant communities in Nicaragua and Honduras\, focusing on collaborative research to secure collective rights to land and natural resources. \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.

She graduated from the university of Michigan in 2014 with a Women's Studies degree and will receive her Master's Degree in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Michigan in 2019. Passionate about making educational reforms in predominately poor communities of color\, she created an art & poetry club for Detroit youth to creatively heal. Founas enjoys writing\, reading\, and performing spoken-word poetry.\n\nIn her first book\, Founas outlines her life experiences and views through poetry. As the daughter of Algerian immigrants\, she depicts the realities of growing up in America in the diaspora – leaving her between two foreign lands. She also provides a unique glimpse into the glories and traumas of educating black and brown youth in Detroit. This body of work is HER story as a first-generation Arab and Muslim woman growing up in America – a narrative that is rarely told from one’s own perspective.

However\, other more “resting-state”-like approaches to task-based connectivity are gaining traction. These techniques examine FC over the entire task session and either leave in (AS Greene et al\, Nat Comm 2018) or attempt to regress out (“background connectivity”\, DA Fair et al\, Neuroimage 2007) the effects of task stimuli. Existing somewhere between task-modulated FC and resting-state FC\, what do these approaches have to offer our understanding of functional connectivity and -- more broadly -- cognition and disease? In my talk\, I will:\n\noutline the spectrum of task-based connectivity approaches\, to get everyone on the same page identify the putative effects of leaving in or regressing out effects of task stimuli (and why this is a source of controversy) describe how these approaches are currently being used (in general\, in aging/dementia research\, and in our lab) ultimately stimulate a discussion of the research questions for which these techniques might be well-suited (or poorly-suited)\n\nIn sum\, the talk as designed is methods-focused and built on a foundation of the concepts underlying the different approaches\, but also tying in recent work actually using the approaches (including some of my work in Dr. Damoiseaux’s lab). As an aside\, the Greene Nat Comm paper contains the data presented by Dustin Scheinost at UofM last April\, so attendees of that talk will already have some background knowledge for this talk.

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

As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

It depicts a variety of individual stories\, positioned with a synchronous global narrative in a way that is both personally intimate and deeply political. In all his years of responding to floods and making many journeys he has shot a vast archive of video footage\, which is fully activated in this presentation for the first time.\n\nAbout Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:\nGideon Mendel came of age as a photographer in South Africa in the 1980’s and identified strongly as a ‘struggle photographer’. This marked him and his subsequent career has been notable for his engagement with three of the crucial political and social issues that have faced his generation. These are the struggle against apartheid\, HIV/AIDS in Africa and Climate Change.\n\nA leading contemporary photographer\, Gideon Mendel's intimate style of image making and long-term commitment to projects has earned him international recognition and many awards. He was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet Prize 2015 and recently has won both the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016.\n\nHis on-going project ‘Drowning World\, explores the human dimension of climate change by focusing on floods across geographical and cultural boundaries. By highlighting the personal impact of flooding he evokes our vulnerability to global warming questioning our sense of stability in the world.\n\nThe work began in 2007\, when Mendel photographed floods in the UK and in India within weeks of each other. He was deeply struck by the contrasting impact of these events\, and the shared experiences of those affected.\n\nSince then he has endeavoured to travel to flood zones around the world visiting Haiti (2008)\, Pakistan (2010)\, Australia (2011)\, Thailand (2011)\, Nigeria (2012)\, Germany (2013)\, The Philippines (2013)\, The UK (2014)\, India (2014)\, Brazil (2015)\, Bangladesh (2015)\, the USA (2015 and 2017) and France (2016 and 2018).\n\nAs the work progressed photographing floods became both a literal and allegorical means of documenting the tension between the personal and the global effects of climate change.

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:52176-12520866@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:20180816T103340 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181114T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181114T113000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Decisions at End of Life DESCRIPTION:The course will discuss facts and issues concerning end-of-life decisions.

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.

Archaeologists have dated the tomb\, which is in Gansu province\, to the fourth or fifth centuries\, and a contemporaneous record from eastern China suggests that the scene illustrates a tragic incident involving the birth of a deformed baby and an appeal for relief from drought through an ancient practice of ritual exposure. Professor Clydesdale argues this painting sheds light on how superstition\, folklore\, and associated practices can seem to fall out of use\, but actually go underground and\, like a rhizome\, sprout over vast distances and through centuries in times of deprivation.\n\nHeather Clydesdale is a lecturer in the Department of Art and Art History at Santa Clara University in the Bay Area\, where she teaches courses on the Silk Roads as well as modern Asian art. Her research focuses on cultural exchanges and artistic innovations on China’s northwestern frontier. She holds a PhD in art history and archaeology from Columbia University and wrote her dissertation on third and early fourth century tombs in the Hexi Corridor.

Although traditionally the subject matter of ethology\, innate behaviors offer a unique entry point for neuroscientists to dissect the physiological mechanisms governing complex behaviors and are becoming the forefront of neuroscience research with the advent of optogenetic and chemogenetic tools that allow cell-type specific dissection of the neural circuits. In the past several years\, our groups have studied the role of distinctive populations of hypothalamic neurons in the control innate social behaviors including mating\, parental care and territorial aggression. We are particularly interested in understanding how neurons underlying individual behaviors interact with each other to coherently modulate behavioral outputs in a state-dependent and adaptive manner.

For example\, there is growing belief that incorporating end-users into the research process will increase the use of resulting knowledge\, among other benefits. And\, increasingly\, funders of research are considering rules that encourage or require some form of end-user participation in the research they sponsor. But how do these changes affect the research and its use for societal benefit? Drawing upon the history of funded research within NERRS as a natural experiment\, this research examines how changes in NERRS funding shaped research practice and how closer interactions between scientists and end-users influenced the ultimate end-uses of research.

High-voltage pulses 5-10 kV in amplitude and a few tens of ns in duration are capable of producing highly non-equilibrium low temperature plasmas over a wide range of pressure – 0.1 Torr to 15 bar. In these transient plasmas\, reduced electric fields up to kTd (1 Td = 10-17 V cm2)\, are typical at the propagating discharge front that initially produces the plasma. Behind the front the electric field stays high\, hundreds of Td\, producing high densities of excited states and radicals. This results in the high efficiency of ns discharges as a trigger for chemically active sys-tems. At deposited energies of 0.5-1 eV/molecule\, high rates of energy relaxation produce fast gas heating – thousands of K during tens of nanoseconds. Excitation densities can become so high that collisions of excited species with ions\, other excited species and radicals become important. A review of plasma parameters in ns discharges\, from fast ionization waves (FIWs) at low pressure to filamentary nanosecond surface dielectric barrier discharges (nSDBDs) at tens of bars will be given. Modifications of discharges leading to high energy release will be discussed\, as well as their consequences for plasma diagnostics and potential applications.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Svetlana Starikovskaia received the Ph.D. in Plasma Physics and Chemistry in 1993 from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology where she was also Senior Scientist and Professor. During this time\, Dr. Svetlana Starikovskaia became one of the youngest Doctors of Science (D.Sc.) in Russia\, receiving the Russian Federation Presidential Award for Young Doctors of Science. She is now Senior Researcher (Directrice de recherche) in the CNRS Laboratory for Physics of Plasma\, French National Academy of Science. Her research interests include nanosecond pulsed discharges and fast ionization waves\; kinetics of gases and plasmas at extreme thermodynamic nonequilibrium\; kinetics of excited species and their influence of chemically nonequilibrium media and interaction of nonequilibrium plasmas with living cells. Dr. Starikovskaia is internationally recognized for her research in plasma assisted combustion for which she has written several review papers. Dr. Starikovskaia has authored more than 70 articles.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

That discovery spawned a world-wide effort to better understand neutrino properties using oscillations of neutrinos produced in the Sun\, in the atmosphere\, at reactors\, and by accelerators. While much has been learned since then\, several important questions remain: Which neutrino is heaviest? Do neutrino properties follow a pattern or respect any symmetries? Is the framework we use to understand neutrinos complete or is there more? Do neutrinos break the symmetry between matter and antimatter? The NOvA experiment was designed to address each of these remaining questions by sending a beam of neutrinos 810 km to a 14\,000 ton detector located in northern Minnesota. In my talk\, I will introduce neutrinos and the questions surrounding them\, discuss the important factors that led to the design of the NOvA experiment and summarize the most recent neutrino and antineutrino measurements from the experiment.\n\nShort bio: Mark Messier is a Rudy Professor of Physics at Indiana University who studies the basic properties of a class of fundamental particles called neutrinos. From 2006 - 2018 he served as co-spokesperson of the NOvA experiment at Fermilab guiding the collaboration through proposal\, design\, construction\, and first results.\n\nProf. Messier began his studies of neutrinos at Boston University working on the Super-Kamiokande experiment in Japan. His doctoral thesis\, “Evidence for Oscillations of Atmospheric Neutrinos with Super-Kamiokande”\, and accompanying paper in Physical Review Letters documented the first conclusive evidence that neutrinos have a non-zero mass. This paper ranks among the 25 most cited experimental and theoretical results in high energy physics.\n\nAfter completing his doctoral work\, Prof. Messier worked on the MINOS and MIPP experiments at Fermilab as a Research Fellow at Harvard University and joined the faculty at Indiana University in 2002. Messier's early work to develop the NOvA experiment concept earned recognition with a Department of Energy Outstanding Junior Investigator award and he is a fellow of the American Physical Society.\n\n UID:57542-14211237@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57542 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181107T152234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181114T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181114T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Distinguished University Professor Lecture\, Presented by Dr. Gordon L.

Detaining Refugee Children: What’s At Stake? DESCRIPTION:The intensifying border control efforts by the Trump administration came to a head earlier this year when the authorities started aggressively attacking the integrity of families seeking asylum in the U.S.\, keeping children in detention separate from their parents. Subsequent legal battles and public debates revealed strong sentiments against the policy\, leading to a rare concession by the administration. As efforts to reunite families continue\, this panel of three experts examines the psychological\, political\, and legal impact of the policy on the families\, policy makers\, and public opinions\, asking the question of what's at stake. \n\nThis Donia Human Rights Center Panel is co-sponsored by: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, Law School\, and School of Social Work.\n \n Panelists: \n \n James C. Hathaway \n James E. and Sarah A.

Her teaching also emphasizes the impact of immigration policies. Contested Borders\, a mini-course that explores ‘policy on the ground’\, takes place at the U.S./Mexico border. She recently started a project on refugee movements and asylum policies around the world. At the moment\, there are more than 68 million forcibly displaced people\, 25 million of whom are refugees\, whose lives are at risk. \n \n --- \n Ann Chih Lin \n Associate Professor\, Ford School of Public Policy \n \nAnn Chih Lin is Associate Professor at the University of Michigan Gerald R.

DESCRIPTION:The Wallenberg Medal and Lecture program honors Raoul Wallenberg who graduated from U-M’s College of Architecture in 1935. In 1944\, at the request of Jewish organizations and the American War Refugee Board\, the Swedish Foreign Ministry sent Wallenberg on a rescue mission to Budapest. Over the course of six months\, Wallenberg issued thousands of protective passports and placed many thousands of Jews in safe houses throughout the besieged city. He confronted Hungarian and German forces to secure the release of Jews\, whom he claimed were under Swedish protection\, and saved more than 80\,000 lives.\n\nU-M awards the Wallenberg Medal annually to those who\, through actions and personal commitment\, perpetuate Wallenberg’s own extraordinary accomplishments and human values\, and demonstrate the capacity of the human spirit to stand up for the helpless\, to defend the integrity of the powerless\, and to speak out on behalf of the voiceless. The Wallenberg Medalists\, through their actions and values\, demonstrate that one person\, individually or collectively\, can make a difference in the struggle for a better world.\n\nB.R.A.V.E. is an organization of youth activists sponsored by the faith community of Saint Sabina Church on Chicago’s South Side. The group’s mission is to prevent violence and to cultivate leadership for social justice. Rie’Onna Holmon is B.R.A.V.E.’s current president\, and Ke’Shon Newman\, whose brother was shot and killed while walking his girlfriend home from a bus stop\, is a leading activist.\n\nMarch For Our Lives was formed after the February 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland\, Florida\, as a movement dedicated to student-led activism around ending gun violence and the epidemic of mass shootings in schools. Alex Wind and Sofie Whitney are founding members of the organization and leaders committed to serving as voices for those who have been silenced.\n\nTickets are free but required for entry and will be available on October 1 at wallenberg.eventbrite.com.

In 1981\, their independent music career began with a basement recording called Tuesday's Children. One thing led to another\, and they signed with Epic Records in 1988. Despite almost polar-opposite styles\, they met on the common ground of harmony and the love of meaningful music. Ray brought fire and earth\, Saliers the wind and water. Since the release of her 2001 album\, \"Stag\,\" however\, she's had an independent career that is different from\, and complements\, that of the parent duo. Amy has released seven albums\, and she comes to The Ark with an eighth\, the country-flavored \"Holler.\" Tennessee \"Southern gothic\" songwriter Amythyst Kiah opens.
