SUMMARY:Exhibition:Celebrating Science & Art
DESCRIPTION:The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research\, and are beautiful in their detail\, form and symmetry. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Organic Fiction: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical\, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Life Magazine 1947 Homecoming Photographs
DESCRIPTION:In October 1947\, just two years after the end of World War II\, the popular weekly news magazine LIFE sent staff photographers Lisa Larsen and Ralph Morse to cover homecoming weekend at the University of Michigan. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies

SUMMARY:Performance:Candide
DESCRIPTION:An operetta composed by Leonard Bernstein. \nLyrics by Wilbur\, Sondheim\, LaTouche\, Parker\, and Hellman. \n\nUniversity Opera Theatre\nUniversity Symphony Orchestra\nKenneth Kiesler\, conductor\nMatthew Ozawa\, director\n\nAdapted from the 1759 novella by Voltaire\, this satirical and comic operetta follows good-natured\, naïve young Candide on his adventures across the globe. 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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:David Cope: Player of Invisible Keys
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope\, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the \"leading lights of the next generation.\" This exhibit draws on drafts\, proofs\, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.\n\nWorking most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff\, Carl Rakosi\, and George Oppen\, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Deluge
DESCRIPTION:Five Channel Video Installation\n13 Minutes\, 27 Seconds.\n\nDeluge is a culmination of Mendel’s ten years of work on the Drowning World project\, shooting video and stills in thirteen different countries. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:White Monastery Fragments in the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The Monastery of Apa Shenoute\, commonly known as the White Monastery\, situated in Upper Egypt near Sohag\, once possessed the largest Coptic library in Egypt. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Michigan Neuroimaging Initiative:  Cognitive and Neural Mechanisms for the Benefits of Stimulus-Driven Attention
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \nWorking memory is enhanced for items that are prioritized via goal-driven attention.  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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Regressive Sin Taxes\, with an Application to the Optimal Soda Tax
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nA common objection to “sin taxes”—corrective taxes on goods that are thought to be over-consumed\, such as cigarettes\, alcohol\, and sugary drinks—is that they often fall disproportionately on low-income consumers. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Developmental Brown Bag:  Cognitive development in the school context.
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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative Biology Seminar | Durotaxis\, Random Walkers\, and the Electric Telegraph
DESCRIPTION:Motile biological cells in tissue often display the phenomenon of durotaxis\, i.e. they tend to move towards stiffer parts of substrate tissue. 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

SUMMARY:Other:RNA tertiary structure and its role in molecular recognition:  lessons from self-splicing group II introns and lncRNA molecules.  
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)

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. Johnson\, President of Wellesley College\; member of the National Academy of Medicine\; National Academies committee co-chair and report co-author\n\n- Timothy R.B. Johnson\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Women’s Studies\, University of Michigan\; member of the National Academy of Medicine\; National Academies committee member and report co-author\n\nREPORT OVERVIEW & PANEL MODERATION:\n- Lilia Cortina\, Associate Director of ADVANCE\; Professor of Psychology\, Women’s Studies\, and Management\, U-M\; National Academies committee member and report co-author\n\n- Anna Kirkland\, Director of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender\; Arthur F. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The U.S. at \"endless war\": Public policy and those who serve
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public.\n\nDinner from Chela's Restaurant & Taqueria will be served. Please RSVP here: https://goo.gl/forms/wnJqY5GVZTxAFmV92\n\nJoin the conversation: #policytalks\n\nFord School faculty\, students\, and staff (along with the general public) are warmly invited to join this community event as we celebrate Veterans Day and explore issues at the intersection of public policy and military service.\n\nThe United States has been at war for 16 years with no clear end in sight. 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. MA\, Naval War College\n\nTroy Nienberg (BA '05\, JD '08)\, legislative director for U.S. Rep Dan Kildee (Flint)\, current Air National Guard officer and HH-60 Combat Rescue Pilot.\n\n\nModerator:\nProfessor Luke Shaefer\, Associate Professor and Director\, Poverty Solutions at the University of Michigan

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Opening Lecture and Reception: Written Culture of Christian Egypt
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the opening of the new exhibit Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection\, we invite you to join us for short lectures from our two guest curators\, followed by an opportunity to explore the exhibit. 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.

The film includes precious footage of the former Jewish quarter of Warsaw and the people who once lived there. \n\nTicket information: http://www.michtheater.org/show/the-yellow-ticket/\n\nFrankel Speaker Series co-sponsored with Copernicus Program in Polish Studies\, Jewish Community Center of Ann Arbor and Michigan Theater\n\nPlease contact The Michigan Theater at 734-668-8397 for up-to-date accessibility information.

DESCRIPTION:This group show of jewelry and ornaments includes the work of Roger Martin\, who tackled the subject of a raven by relying on planes and shadow lines to imbue the surfaces of the bird with personality. Another one of the seven artists\, Lorraine Kolasa\, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting\, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef\, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon\, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler\, Roger Smith\, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman\, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation\, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Organic Fiction: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical\, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:David Cope: Player of Invisible Keys
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope\, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the \"leading lights of the next generation.\" This exhibit draws on drafts\, proofs\, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.\n\nWorking most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff\, Carl Rakosi\, and George Oppen\, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Deluge
DESCRIPTION:Five Channel Video Installation\n13 Minutes\, 27 Seconds.\n\nDeluge is a culmination of Mendel’s ten years of work on the Drowning World project\, shooting video and stills in thirteen different countries. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Futures in the Past of Africa-China Engagement
DESCRIPTION:This talk will challenge the presentist time frame of much current scholarship on China and Africa. 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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange. Email us at chinese.studies@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Norman Eisen reads and reflects on his new book: The Last Palace: Turbulent Century in Five Lives and One Legendary House
DESCRIPTION:About The Last Palace \nA sweeping yet intimate narrative about the last hundred years of turbulent European history\, as seen through one of Mitteleuropa’s greatest houses—and the lives of its occupants. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture Series. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:AMAS Poetry Reading: \"Diary of a Daughter in Diaspora\"
DESCRIPTION:Bayan Founas is an educator and youth mentor in Detroit. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Michigan Neuroimaging Initiative:  Characterizing the spectrum of task fMRI connectivity approaches
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nTask-based functional connectivity (FC) approaches have typically sought to characterize the modulation of connectivity by task condition (e.g. PPI\, beta-series correlation).  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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Against the New Nativism
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. government is currently checking off items on the wish list of a new nativist movement--from an entry ban on people from majority-Muslim countries to mass arrests and deportations\, from major reductions in refugee admissions to new rules designed to restrict working people's access to legal status. These rapid changes to immigration policy reflect a long history of efforts\, in the United States and around the world\, to constrain the movement of people across borders. As elected officials and news outlets cite nativist \"think-tanks\" and proclaim an immigration \"crisis\,\" this teach-in is an opportunity to participate in a conversation about what is happening locally and globally and how people are organizing in response.\n\nSponsored by the Migration & Displacement Interdisciplinary Workshop\, Global Solidarity After Colonialism RIW\, and TriContinental Solidarity Network

DESCRIPTION:The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research\, and are beautiful in their detail\, form and symmetry. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Organic Fiction: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical\, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:David Cope: Player of Invisible Keys
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope\, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the \"leading lights of the next generation.\" This exhibit draws on drafts\, proofs\, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.\n\nWorking most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff\, Carl Rakosi\, and George Oppen\, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Deluge
DESCRIPTION:Five Channel Video Installation\n13 Minutes\, 27 Seconds.\n\nDeluge is a culmination of Mendel’s ten years of work on the Drowning World project\, shooting video and stills in thirteen different countries. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Mysterious Tomb Painting Uncloaks an Ancient Practice
DESCRIPTION:A wall painting found in a tomb at Dingjiazha in western China and dated to the early Six Dynasties (220-589) is wrapped in a mystery of identity and motive. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag | Higgs Parity\, Strong CP Problem and Unification
DESCRIPTION:The quartic coupling of the Standard Model Higgs nearly vanishes at a high energy scale. We show that this is explained by the parity symmetry and its spontaneous break down by the condensation of the parity partner of the Higgs. The parity can solve the strong CP problem. The theory is embedded into SO(10) unification and the precise gauge coupling unification is achieved.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Talk
DESCRIPTION:Neural control of innate behaviors and motivation\n\n \n\nMany complex behaviors are displayed without requirement of learning and are termed innate. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Student Development of Information Literacy Skills during Problem-Based Organic Chemistry Laboratory Experiments: Research applied to Classroom Practice
DESCRIPTION:Ginger Schultz\, Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan\, describes an investigation of student information-seeking behaviors during problem-based organic chemistry laboratory experiments. This study used discourse analysis of student planning sessions and student work to understand how students apply information literacy skills when solving organic chemistry problems. She then describes how their findings were used to inform the design of a set of online learning modules developed in collaboration with Dr. Ye Li to promote the development of skills in an organic chemistry context.\n\nDr. Ginger Shultz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at U-M. She completed her doctorate in polymer chemistry at the University of Oregon and transitioned to education-focused research through a teaching postdoc in Chemistry at U-M. In 2013 she was named a U-M Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow and she was hired as faculty in 2016.  Shultz’s research is focused on investigating student learning in problem-based organic chemistry laboratory courses\, how graduate students instructors develop teaching knowledge\, and writing-based strategies for learning in STEM.\n\nEmergent Research Series events are aimed at better understanding the new ways in which research relies on the work of libraries and information professionals\, and where cutting-edge research pushes past what libraries currently support.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drivers of Knowledge Use: Learning how NERRS has generated usable science and technology
DESCRIPTION:Making science usable for solving societal problems may require changes to the way research is practiced and funded. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Kinetics of Nanosecond Discharges at High Specific Energy Release
DESCRIPTION:Recent progress in solid-state high power electronics has produced compact and reliable high voltage nanosecond (ns) generators for research and industry. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Next Questions for Neutrinos: Recent Results from the NOvA Experiment
DESCRIPTION: The 2015 Nobel prize in physics was awarded for the discovery of neutrino oscillations and mass in 1998. 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Distinguished University Professor Lecture\, Presented by Dr. Gordon L. Amidon
DESCRIPTION:Does the much-maligned carbon dioxide\, a driving force behind global warming\, deserve its bad rap?\n\nIn his upcoming Distinguished University Professor lecture\, Gordon L. Amidon\, PhD’71\, will explore carbon dioxide from many angles\, “the Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly.”\n\nThe talk will take place at 4 p.m. on November 14 in the Rackham Amphitheatre. The lecture and reception that follows are free and open to the public.\n\nProf. Gordon L. Amidon is the William I. Higuchi Distinguished University Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences.  His research aims to understand the gastrointestinal factors that control drug absorption from an oral drug product. \n\n“I will present a modest attempt to resurrect the image of carbon dioxide\,” explains Amidon. “While global warming and the role that atmospheric gases play in the ‘green house’ effect has received considerable attention in the scientific and public press\, I will point to the more positive role of carbon dioxide in evolution and in biology.”\n\nDistinguished University Professorships recognize exceptional scholarly and/or creative achievements\, national and international reputation\, superior teaching and mentoring\, and an impressive record of service. Each Professor delivers a lecture of their choosing during this event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 and IOE 836 Seminar: Xi Jessie Yang\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Title: Trust in and reliance on imperfect automation\n\nAbstract: \nThe use of automation to assist human performance is growing rapidly. Ideally\, with the assistance of automation\, task performance of a human should increase. Unfortunately\, performance gains are not always achieved\, one of the reasons being the human’s inappropriate trust in and dependence on automated technologies. In this seminar\, I will present several studies conducted in the Interaction and Collaboration Research Lab to examine human operators' trust in and dependence on automation.\n\nShort bio: \nX. Jessie Yang is an Assistant professor at the Industrial and Operations Engineering Department\, University of Michigan. She directs the Interaction and Collaboration Research Lab (ICRL). Jessie obtained her Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (Human Factors) from Nanyang Technological University in 2014. Her research interests include human-autonomy/robot interaction\, human factors in high-risk industries and user experience design.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:November Science Café
DESCRIPTION:You've probably heard of the harmful \"algal\" blooms in Lake Erie. These are caused by cyanobacteria (the organisms formerly known as blue-green algae)\, which grow in nutrient-rich water\, often overpopulating due to fertilizer run-off. But did you know that cyanobacteria also absorb CO2 and that researchers are studying whether they might affect\, or even mitigate\, global warming? Learn about water quality and the carbon cycle\, and discuss the possible policy implications. Join Vincent Denef of the University of Michigan's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, and Anthony Vecchiarelli of the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology.\n\nScience Cafés provide an opportunity for audiences to discuss current science topics with experts in an informal setting. All Science Cafés take place at Conor O’Neill’s Traditional Irish Pub\, 318 South Main Street\, Ann Arbor.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Panel. 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. Degan Professor of Law and Director of Program in Refugee and Asylum Law\, Law School \n    \nJames C. Hathaway is the James E. and Sarah A. Degan Professor of Law and Director of the Program in Refugee and Asylum Law at the University of Michigan. He is also Distinguished Visiting Professor of International Refugee Law at the University of Amsterdam. Hathaway earned law degrees from the Osgoode Hall Law School (Toronto) (LL.B. Honours) and Columbia (LL.M.\, J.S.D.)\, and has received doctoral degrees honoris causa from the Université catholique de Louvain (2009) and University of Amsterdam (2017). From 2008 until 2010 Hathaway was on leave from the University of Michigan to serve as the Dean of Law and William Hearn Professor of Law at the University of Melbourne\, where he established Australia’s first all-graduate legal education program. He previously held positions as Professor of Law and Associate Dean of the Osgoode Hall Law School\, Canada (1984-1998)\, Counsel on Special Legal Assistance for the Disadvantaged to the Government of Canada (1983-1984)\, and Professeur adjoint de droit at the Université de Moncton\, Canada (1980-1983). He has been appointed a visiting professor at the American University in Cairo\, and at the Universities of California\, Macerata\, San Francisco\, Stanford\, Tokyo\, and Toronto. Hathaway’s publications include more than one hundred journal articles\, book chapters\, and studies\; a leading treatise on the refugee definition (\"The Law of Refugee Status\"' second edition 2014 with M. Foster\; first edition 1991\, republished in both Russian in 2007 and Japanese in 2008)\; an interdisciplinary study of models for refugee law reform (\"Reconceiving International Refugee Law\"\, 1997)\; and The Rights of Refugees under International Law (2005\, republished in Japanese in 2014 and Chinese 2017)\, the first comprehensive analysis of the human rights of refugees set by the UN Refugee Convention and the International Bill of Rights. He is the founding Editor of \"Cambridge Asylum and Migration Studies\" and Senior Advisor to Asylum Access\, a non-profit organization committed to delivering innovative legal aid to refugees in the global South. Hathaway regularly advises and provides training on refugee law to academic\, non-governmental\, and official audiences around the world. \n    \n   --- \n    \n   Sherrie Kossoudji \n   Associate Professor\, School of Social Work \n   Adjunct Associate Professor\, Department of Economics \n    \nSherrie A. Kossoudji is an associate professor in the School of Social Work and an adjunct associate professor in the Department of Economics. Her principal research is on issues related to migration and immigration. She has written numerous articles on the legal status of immigrant workers in the United States and the incentives to cross the border clandestinely. Much of her work attempts to discern the link between legal status in the United States and economic outcomes—leading to papers on the impact of legalization programs on residents who are undocumented. 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. Ford School of Public Policy. Dr. Lin studies immigrant political socialization -- how immigrants learn about and relate to government authority in their new country – and immigration policy – how governments choose to recruit migrants. She was co-principal investigator on the Detroit Arab American Study\, a landmark public opinion survey of Arab Americans in Detroit\, and a co-author of a book on the study\, \"Citizenship in Crisis: Arab Detroit after 9/11.\" With Yan Chen and Kentaro Toyama\, she is exploring methods to reduce bias against Muslims in two metro Detroit cities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2018 Wallenberg Lecture: March For Our Lives & B.R.A.V.E.
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. They are general admission and seating is on a first come\, first serve basis. Once the Rackham Auditorium is at capacity\, guests will be directed to the Amphitheatre on the fourth floor of the Rackham Building.

SUMMARY:Performance:Amy Ray and Her Band
DESCRIPTION:Amy Ray teamed up with Emily Saliers while in high school\, and soon the duo became a staple in the Atlanta music scene. 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.

DESCRIPTION:The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research\, and are beautiful in their detail\, form and symmetry. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Deluge
DESCRIPTION:Five Channel Video Installation\n13 Minutes\, 27 Seconds.\n\nDeluge is a culmination of Mendel’s ten years of work on the Drowning World project\, shooting video and stills in thirteen different countries. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies

SUMMARY:Presentation:NAME Prospectus Presentation for Kauhua Zhang
DESCRIPTION:Kaihua Zhang will have his prospectus presentation “ Developing and Experimentally Validating of Dynamic Bayesian Network for System Reliability Prediction ”\, Thursday\, 11/15/2018 at 9:30 am in the Conference Room (232). \n\nCommittee Members:\nMatthew Collette (Chair)\nAllison John (Cognate)\nPingsha Dong\nDavid Singer\nKevin Maki\n\nVessels and marine structures are subjected to degradation during their service\, jeopardizing structural safety and shortening their service life. Numerical models of such structural systems are developed and relied on to simulate and ensure the systemintegrity. Such numerical models are the essential part of digital twins representing complex marine structures and providing enhanced forecasts of risk and lifecycle performance. Digital twins also require data fusion from observations or experiments to improve the numerical model agreements with the real-world structure. Due to the\ninfeasible of full-scale testing of marine structures\, scale experiments are developed but few of them reflect many of the properties of large and complex marine structures.Thus\, an experiment must be designed to mimic the multiple degradation process and retain structural redundancy so that a single element failure will not remove all load carrying capacity. Dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) can model the degradation process of structure but its performance has not been validated by experiments. Therefore\, the proposed designs an experiment to mimic the properties of marine structure and develops a corresponding numerical model whose performance is validated by the designed experiment. To mimic the interdependence\, redundancy and component-to-system level\nperformance of marine structures in degradation\, a hexagon tension specimen with four propagating fatigue cracks\, one on each corner\, is designed and tested. The applied loading cycles and corresponding crack lengths are recorded as the major time-varying data of degradation state. Two methods of measuring crack length are developed based on computer vision and digital image correlation. To complement the test specimen\, a DBN is constructed to predict the crack length and system reliability with observation input. The network models the time-varying process with sequential slices. The dependence among components are controlled by hyperparameters and are integrated into complex system behavior to reflect the structure from the component level to the\nsystem level. The performance of the DBN is tested and validated by the data gathered from the experiment of hexagon specimen.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:THE REAL IMMIGRATION DEBATE: WHOM TO LET IN AND WHY
DESCRIPTION:Mark Krikorian\, a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues\, has served as Excutive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) since 1995. The Center\, an independent\, non-partisan research organization in Washington\, D.C.\, examines and critiques the impact of immigration on the United States. His knowledge and expertise in the immigration field are sought by Congress\, where he has frequently testified\, as well as the mainstream and new media. Mr. Krikorian has published articles in numerous outlets and his most recent publication is Open Immigration: Yea & Nay\, co-authored with Alex Nowrasteh of the Cato Institute.\n\nThe immigration debate in the U.S. has been contentious for decades. Most focus has been on enforcement issues. Although important\, they are less fundamental than a question that too often goes unaddressed: Why limit immigration at all? Almost everyone at least pays lip service to the need for limits of some kind\, but we don’t often enough challenge each other to explain what limits we support and why. If we are ever to have a rational debate about immigration\, the starting point has to be a candid acknowledgment of our goals and preferences.\n\nThis is the fourth in a series of six weekly lectures. The subject is immigration. The next lecture will be on November 29. The title is LOOKING BEYOND COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM: A NEW IMMIGRATION POLITICS.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic History\, International Economics: Spillover Effects of IP Protection in the Inter-war Aircraft Industry
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nCan granting IP protection to one good affect the innovation rate in other related goods? To answer this question we exploit a unique policy experiment in the inter-war military aircraft industry. Airframe designs had little IP protection before 1926\, but changes passed by Congress in 1926 provided airframe manufacturers with enhanced property rights over the new designs they produced. We show that granting property rights to airframe producers increased innovation in airframes\, but slowed down innovation in aero-engines\, a complementary good where there was no change in the availability of IP protection. We propose and test a simple theory that explains these patterns.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Deep Dive into Digital and Data Methods for Chinese Studies
DESCRIPTION:Light lunch will be provided. Free and Open to the Public.\n\nThe recent rise of medical history as an analytical lens to study the history of early religions raises new questions:  What is medicine? In what sources can we find it?\n\nThis presentation introduces a case study of how to adapt digital tools to study medicine and religion in China\, focusing on the distribution of drug terms in religious and medical sources from the Six Dynasties (220-589).  After constructing a text database and attaching bibliographic data about the texts\, Docusky can track the distribution of large term sets (I collected 12\,000 drug names) according to time\, space\, sect and genre. This facilitates entirely new kinds of historical argument.  I will demonstrate three examples\, showing 1) new evidence of Buddhist transmission of medicine to China and the new historical questions it leads to\, 2) how to use the toolset to make context-discovery of unknown sources\, and 3) using geographic data of materia medica to argue for regional origins of primary sources. The paper further considers the philological violence done to primary sources when working in digital media.\n\nDr. Michael Stanley-Baker 徐源 is assistant professor in History and at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore. He researches medicine and religion in early medieval and contemporary China. He developed tools for the study of religion and medicine in China with National Taiwan University and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science\, Berlin\, and is now developing them for the study of multi-lingual primary sources for medical history across the classical world. He also serves as Vice-President of the International Association for the Study of Traditional Asian Medicine (IASTAM). More information is available at https://michaelstanley-baker.com/digital-humanities/\n\nThe “Deep Dive” series is co-sponsored by the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies (LRCCS) and the Asia Library\, and is co-directed by Mary Gallagher (Professor of Political Science and Director of LRCCS) and Liangyu Fu (Chinese Studies Librarian\, Asia Library).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CEW+Inspire Workshop Series – Gender Revolution in the Trump Era: Transformations in Consciousness and Gender Relations
DESCRIPTION:Explore the rapid transformation in gender consciousness and gender relations during this workshop with Dr. Pamela Aronson. Attendees will discuss changes stemming from three primary sources: the rise of women running for political office in 2018\, the emergence of new social movement activism\, and the creation of the “#MeToo” movement\, which has sparked a new public discourse on sexual assault and harassment. While exploring the ways that this new consciousness has also faced backlash and opposition\, this workshop will shed light on the emerging gender revolution by examining how rapid transformations are influencing everyday relationships between men and women. A hands-on wellness activity will be presented by the CEW+ Inspire team to complement this workshop. The discussion will be followed by a networking reception.\n\nFree and open to the public. Please register by November 8th. \n\nAbout the Presenter: Pamela Aronson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Her research examines how inequalities impact identities and the life course. Past research has considered young women’s transition to adulthood\, perception of role models\, work and family orientations\, and attitudes toward feminism. She also studies class and gender differences in the experience of postsecondary education and career development. Gender and feminist consciousness\, as well as the impact of internalized misogyny in electoral politics\, are the focus of her new research project.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE Seminar Series: William A. Tisdale
DESCRIPTION:Department of Chemical Engineering\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology\, Cambridge\, MA\n\nABSTRACT\n\nStructure\, surface chemistry\, and energetic disorder can dramatically affect excited state dynamics in low-dimensional systems. Using a combination of ultrafast laser spectroscopy\, time-resolved optical microscopy\, and kinetic modeling\, I will show how these effects manifest in assemblies of colloidal quantum dots (QD) and atomically thin 2D semiconductors\, which are promising components of next-generation photovoltaic and lighting technologies. In particular\, I will demonstrate the counterintuitive role of entropy in the nonequilibrium population dynamics of excitons and charge carriers in nanoscale systems\, and how these dynamics are influenced by the surface and structural organizational of these nanomaterials.\n\nBIO\n\nWill Tisdale joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT in January\, 2012\, where he holds the rank of Associate Professor and is currently the ARCO Career Development Professor in Energy Studies.  He earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Delaware in 2005\, a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota in 2010\, and was a postdoc in the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT before joining the faculty in 2012. Will is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)\, the DOE Early Career Award\, the NSF CAREER Award\, an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship\, the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award\, the AIChE Nanoscale Science & Engineering Forum Young Investigator Award\, and MIT’s Everett Moore Baker Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE 585 Graduate Seminar Series - Autonomous In-Space Assembly: Recent Advances and Future Applications
DESCRIPTION:Erik Komendera\, Ph.D.\nAssistant Professor\, Mechanical Engineering\nDirector\, Autonomous Field and Space Robotics Laboratory\nVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University\n\nWith the retirement of the Space Shuttle program\, the option to lift heavy payloads to orbit has become severely constrained.  Industry has responded with low cost\, small-lift launch vehicles.  This has led to significant interest in constructing large space telescopes\, orbital platforms\, and habitats in place.  The advent of robotic in-space assembly will mitigate the need for deployment mechanisms and enable assembly using multiple launch vehicles.  This will lead to simplified architectures\, interchangeable parts\, and risk reduction.  Mission concepts previously considered impossible will become feasible.  Robotic assembly will be less risky and costly than assembly by astronauts\, but outside of low-Earth orbit\, these systems must be autonomous.  Challenges in autonomous assembly include reasoning with uncertainties in the structure\, agents\, and environment\; delegating a large variety of assembly tasks between heterogeneous robots\; and making error corrections and adjustments as needed.  In recent years\, Dr. Komendera and NASA have developed methods to improve the practicality and reliability of assembly by: distributing tasks between specialized agents\, employing optimal state estimation in the assembly workspace\, using error-minimizing sequencing algorithms\, and detecting and correcting failures.  In this seminar\, Dr. Komendera will describe these methods\, the results of multiple recent robotic assembly experiments\, and future applications.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Erik Komendera is Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech\, and director of the Autonomous Field and Space Robotics Laboratory.  His research focuses on autonomous multi-agent construction on Earth\, on orbit\, and on the surfaces of other worlds\, with an emphasis on robust algorithms to detect\, classify\, and repair failures during and after the assembly process.  His current projects include a collaboration with NASA to develop robots and algorithms for constructing lunar habitats and on-orbit persistent platforms.  He also works with industry to improve methods for autonomous assembly of variable components.  He is also a member of the in-Space Assembled Telescope (iSAT) study team that will recommend an approach to assembling a space telescope.  From 2014-2018\, Dr. Komendera was a robotics researcher at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton\, VA. He earned his MS ('12) and PhD ('14) in Computer Science from the University of Colorado\, and a BSE in Aerospace Engineering ('07) from the University of Michigan.  At NASA\, he served as assembly robot task lead on the project titled “Commercial Infrastructure for Robotic Assembly and Servicing” (CIRAS). In addition\, he was the Principal Investigator for a Langley IRAD project to investigate methods for assembling solar arrays.ck

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM Theory Seminar | Semimetals Unlimited: Unbounded Electrical and Thermal Transport Properties in Three-dimensional Nodal Semimetals
DESCRIPTION:Modern electronics is built on semiconductors\, whose utility comes from their ability to operate on either side of the conductor-insulator dichotomy. For practical applications\, however\, semiconductors face certain unavoidable limitations imposed by the physics of Anderson localization and by the disorder introduced through doping. In this talk I discuss whether these same limitations apply to nodal semimetals\, which are a novel class of three-dimensional materials that have a vanishing density of states (like insulators) but no gap to electron-hole excitations (like conductors). I show that\, surprisingly\, in a certain class of nodal semimetals the electronic mobility can far exceed the bounds that constrain doped semiconductors\, becoming divergingly large even with a finite concentration of charged impurities. I then discuss the thermoelectric effect in semimetals\, and show that their electron-hole symmetry allows for a thermopower that grows without bound under the application of a strong magnetic field. This large thermopower apparently enables the development of devices with record-large thermoelectric figure of merit.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development Seminar: Measurement of intergenerational mobility in developing countries\, with evidence from India.
DESCRIPTION:Estimating intergenerational mobility in developing countries is difficult because matched parent-child income records are rarely available and education is measured very coarsely. In particular\, there are no established methods for comparing educational mobility for subsamples of the population when the education distribution is changing over time. We resolve these problems using new methods in partial identification and new administrative data\, and study intergenerational mobility across groups and across space in India. Intergenerational mobility for the population as a whole has remained constant since liberalization\, but cross-group changes have been substantial. Rising mobility among historically marginalized Scheduled Castes is almost exactly offset by declining intergenerational mobility among Muslims\, a comparably sized group that has few constitutional protections. These findings contest the conventional wisdom that marginalized groups in India have been catching up on average. We also explore heterogeneity across space\, generating the first high-resolution geographic measures of intergenerational mobility across India\, with results across 5600 rural subdistricts and 2300 cities and towns. On average\, children are most successful at exiting the bottom of the distribution in places that are southern\, urban\, or have higher average education levels.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: The dimensions of fear: from brains to ecosystems to human mental health and human impacts
DESCRIPTION:Predators kill prey thereby affecting populations and ecosystems. Predators also scare prey\, and the fear of being killed is a powerful evolutionary force that has always shaped all life on earth.  But whether fear can be powerful enough to operate over ecological time in wildlife is intensely debated because demonstrating that fear effects exist for wildlife requires manipulations which are challenging to do for free-living animals.  We have been conducting a variety of manipulations on a wide range of wildlife\, from birds to lions\, in many different places in the world that are demonstrating that fear affects wildlife from the brain\, to behaviour and physiology\, to populations\, with cascading effects down the food chain.  Our research further reveals that fear of predators can inform us about human mental health and can be used as a tool to diagnose the extent of human impacts on the environment as well.

SUMMARY:Other:Hydrocarbon Functionalization in Porous Materials
DESCRIPTION:                                                                        Hydrocarbons are cheap and abundant feedstocks readily derived from both fossil fuels and emerging renewable resources. Despite their abundance\, hydrocarbons have limited applications in chemical synthesis due to the inertness of C–H bonds towards both homolytic and heterolytic bond cleavage. I will share two very different approaches to the selective functionalization of simple hydrocarbons that address these challenges. First\, I will highlight a bio-inspired approach to achieve selective alkane hydroxylation using iron-based metal–organic frameworks. The critical influence of both primary and secondary coordination sphere elements on catalyst reactivity\, selectivity\, and stability will be detailed. Second\, I will describe the identification and characterization of a simple heterogeneous base catalyst that converts aromatic hydrocarbons\, CO2\, and methanol into the corresponding aromatic esters at elevated temperatures. The transformation occurs via a two-step\, semi-continuous cycle\, and represents the first hydrocarbon CO2 insertion process that does not consume any energy-intensive stoichiometric reagents.                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nDianne Xiao\, PhD (Stanford University)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar. Living in a Liminal Age: Cairo’s al-Darb al-Ahmar District Enters the Early Modern
DESCRIPTION:Early modern Cairo was crowded urban environment replete with centuries of architectural models from which to draw. Both builders and inhabitants of its neighborhoods engaged with Cairo’s past while simultaneously encountering the incremental transformations associated with the early modern. Interactions with the city from public demonstrations of state power to buying and selling modest private residences were enmeshed with a sense of place. A sustaining local identity was manifest in shops and mosques and homes made of mudbrick and finely dressed Muqattam limestone that grounded Cairo and Cairenes even as the world changed. \n    \nShauna Huffaker is an urban historian at the University of Windsor in Ontario who studies the medieval and early modern Middle East. She will be speaking on the lived experiences of the builders of Cairo’s historic al-Darb al-Ahmar district and its early modern inhabitants and the documents that make their lives visible to us. \n\nThis event is organized by the Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS) with support from the Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC) and the Department of Architecture.\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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:High Performance Computing & Data Science Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Researchers can leverage high performance computing (HPC) to pose and probe unique and interesting questions. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MAS Lecture | Projectile Points From the US Southwest: Who Learns from Whom\, and Why Does It Matter?
DESCRIPTION:Archaeological evidence suggests conflict among groups living in southeastern New Mexico ca. AD 1300\, perhaps as a result of competition over dwindling bison populations. Projectile points from sites in the region are highly standardized during this time\, which might reflect a heightened sense of group membership—\"we are US\, they are THEM\"—in the face of social tensions. In this talk\, I explore this hypothesis and some alternatives\, and also\, more generally\, how who we learn skills from might affect technological change through time.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Raven Garvey studies the influences of ecological\, demographic\, and social factors on prehistoric hunter-gatherers’ behaviors and broader cultural change through time. Her current field projects in Patagonia use simple economic models incorporating these factors to generate predictions of hunter-gatherer settlement and resource use at different times in the past. Her current lab-based projects are designed to test and develop models of cultural transmission and technological evolution\, and to refine Patagonian chronologies using obsidian hydration.\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society.\nTo learn more about the MAS\, please visit http://www.miarch.org/\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

SUMMARY:Performance:Front Country
DESCRIPTION:An acoustic band born in the land of tech innovation\, Front Country was unlikely to be accepted as an authentic American roots band out of the gate.  Cutting their teeth in progressive bluegrass jams in San Francisco’s Mission District and rehearsing across the bay in Oakland\, they fashioned their own take on roots music and Indie Folk\, with the tools they had on hand.  A mandolinist with a degree in composition and classical guitar.  A guitarist trained in rock and world music.  A bassist equally versed in jazz and newgrass.  A violinist with technique that could seamlessly hop between honky tonk and electropop. And a female lead singer with grit and soul that was also a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter.  In a wood-paneled country dive bar in the shadow of the San Francisco skyline\, Front Country forged a sound hell bent on merging the musical past with the future.  The result lies somewhere between Indie Folk and Americana\, in a nether-region they've come to embrace as their own.

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

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

DESCRIPTION:Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical\, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:David Cope: Player of Invisible Keys
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope\, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the \"leading lights of the next generation.\" This exhibit draws on drafts\, proofs\, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.\n\nWorking most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff\, Carl Rakosi\, and George Oppen\, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Deep Dive into Digital and Data Methods for Chinese Studies
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. Michael Stanley-Baker 徐源\, Nanyang Technological University and Dr. Hu Chijui 胡其瑞\, National Taiwan University\n\nLight refreshments will be provided. The room is equipped with laptops\, but please feel free to bring your own.\n \nDesigned by the Research Center for Digital Humanities and CSIE Digital Humanities Lab of NTU in Taiwan\, DocuSky is a digital humanities research platform created specifically for researchers of texts\, to suit various needs and different stages of research. It provides tools to build up their own personal database of texts for text processing\, tagging\, text reorganizing and contextualizing\, text-mining\, GIS and visualization. \n\nIn this hands-on workshop\, participants will learn to use Docusky and Palladio for large scale analysis of the full-text Buddhist and Daoist canons. You will learn how to search for large term sets\, determine their statistical distribution by chapter\, and then sort these chapters according to time period\, intellectual genre\, sectarian attribution and place of origin. You will then learn how to produce simple but powerful visualizations to show the similarities or differences between term clusters in different scriptural groups. This toolset is open access\, and the Daoist and Buddhist canons data file will be made available as an open-source\, citable document.\n\nThis workshop requires that you first register here: https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/sessions/datamining-the-daoist-and-buddhist-canons-with-docusky/ It is open to faculty\, students\, postdocs and visiting scholars at the University of Michigan. We regret that it is not open to the general public.  \n\nDr. Michael Stanley-Baker 徐源 is assistant professor in History and at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore. He researches medicine and religion in early medieval and contemporary China. He developed tools for the study of religion and medicine in China with National Taiwan University and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science\, Berlin\, and is now developing them for the study of multi-lingual primary sources for medical history across the classical world. He also serves as Vice-President of the International Association for the Study of Traditional Asian Medicine (IASTAM). More information is available at https://michaelstanley-baker.com/digital-humanities/\n\nDr. Chijui Hu 胡其瑞 is a postdoctoral researcher at the Research Center for Digital Humanities at the National Taiwan University. Dr. Hu received his PhD degree from the Graduated Institute of Religious Studies from National Chengchi University\, Taiwan. His research focused on the cultural and history of the minority groups in Southwest China\, and now\, he wants to put this research into the digital humanities tools to see what may happen. \n\nThe “Deep Dive” series is co-sponsored by the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies (LRCCS) and the Asia Library\, and is co-directed by Mary Gallagher (Professor of Political Science and Director of LRCCS) and Liangyu Fu (Chinese Studies Librarian\, Asia Library).  Question about the series?  Please email Liangyu Fu at liangyuf@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Deluge
DESCRIPTION:Five Channel Video Installation\n13 Minutes\, 27 Seconds.\n\nDeluge is a culmination of Mendel’s ten years of work on the Drowning World project\, shooting video and stills in thirteen different countries. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar.  Domestic Architecture and Urban History: The Promise and Limitations of Property Deeds Written in Cairo’s Early Ottoman Courts
DESCRIPTION:The documentary record of Cairo is among the richest for any part of the pre-modern Islamic world. Using examples from the archive of the Coptic Patriarchate in Abbasiya and Dar al-Wathiq in the Egyptian National Archives\, we will consider the format of deeds of sale and their utility for historians of urbanism. Property boundaries and descriptions were an essential part of uniquely identifying the property for sale for owners\, sellers\, notaries and court officials. In the present\, the finely textured details of these descriptions invite us into the streets\, neighborhoods and intimate spaces of Mamluk and Ottoman Cairo. But reading these descriptions to meet the presentist needs of the historian comes with its own perils. We will also discuss the challenges of gaining access to and working with the archives which house these documents. \n    \nShauna Huffaker is an urban historian at the University of Windsor in Ontario who studies the medieval and early modern Middle East. She will be leading a workshop on the lived experiences of the builders and inhabitants of early modern Cairo and the documents that make their lives visible to us. \n\nThis event is organized by the Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS) with support from the Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC).\n\nSnacks and refreshments will be served. Please RSVP by emailing IISScoordinators@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. '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.

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Manufacturing Research Seminar: Research Challenges in Manufacturing Analytics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nRecent discussion of “big data” has focused on data\, software\, and methods with an emphasis on retail and personalization of services and products. Big data also has impacted engineering and manufacturing and has resulted in better and more efficient manufacturing operations\, improved quality\, and more personalized products. A less apparent effect is that big data has changed the way that we solve problems: the problems we choose to solve\, the strategy we seek\, and the tools we employ. An example of this is how the “big data” style of thinking enabled the development of a new quality assurance philosophy called process monitoring for quality. A blend of process monitoring and quality control\, that is founded on big data and big models\; catalysts for the next step in the evolution of the quality movement. Process monitoring for quality was used to evaluate the performance of the ultrasonically welded battery tabs in the new Chevrolet Volt\, an extended range electric vehicle. Additional examples and illustrative case studies will be presented. \n\nBio\nDr. Jeffrey Abell is Director and Chief Scientist of Manufacturing Systems Research at General Motors. He is responsible for manufacturing research in the company including vehicle electrification\, lightweight materials processing\, automation\, and artificial intelligence/analytics. Previously\, he was responsible for battery manufacturing research and his team played a key role in bringing the Chevy Volt advanced high power battery to production. He has successfully implemented various evolutionary based optimization methods to solve complex industrial design problems and was awarded the 2011 and 2014 General Motors Boss Kettering Awards for outstanding technical innovation. He has a Bachelor’s of Mechanical Engineering degree from General Motors Institute (now Kettering University)\, and graduate degrees in Systems Engineering from Oakland University.  \n\nDr. Abell has also held a number of positions in the product development and manufacturing engineering at GM\, Delphi\, and DaimlerChrysler\, including two international assignments. \n\nDr. Abell is a Fellow of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and a licensed Professional Engineer (Michigan). He has written numerous technical publications and is active in various professional societies and associations. He can be reached at jeffrey.abell@gm.com.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop with Severine Autesserre (Barnard College\, Columbia University)
DESCRIPTION:Séverine Autesserre is a Professor of Political Science\, specializing in international relations and African studies\, at Barnard College\, Columbia University. She works on civil wars\, peacebuilding\, peacekeeping\, and humanitarian aid.\n\nProfessor Autesserre's latest research project examines successful international contributions to local and bottom-up peacebuilding. Her 2014 article in International Peacekeeping presents some of the early ideas for this research. Her 2017 article in the International Studies Review\, her Op-Eds in the Washington Post (here and here)\, and her Foreign Affairs pieces (here and here) present her first findings.  In academic years 2016-2018\, she will work full time on this project as an Andrew Carnegie Fellow\, with additional research support from the Folke Bernadotte Academy and the Gerda Henkel Foundation.\n\nHer previous project focused on the everyday elements that influence peacebuilding interventions on the ground. It included extensive fieldwork in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and briefer comparative research in Burundi\, Cyprus\, Israel and the Palestinian Territories\, South Sudan\, and Timor-Leste. The book based on this research\, Peaceland: Conflict Resolution and the Everyday Politics of International Intervention\, was released by Cambridge University Press in 2014. It won the 2016 Best Book of the Year Award and the 2015 Yale H. Ferguson Award from the International Studies Association as well as honorable mentions for two other book prizes (the 2015 Chadwick Alger Prize from the International Studies Association and the 2014 African Argument Book of the Year). Findings from this project have also appeared in Critique Internationale and African Affairs (the latter piece won the 2012 Best Article award from the African Politics Conference Group).\n\nHer earlier research project focused on local violence and international intervention in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo\, where Dr. Autesserre has travelled regularly since 2001. Her fieldwork and analysis culminated in The Trouble with the Congo: Local Violence and the Failure of International Peacebuilding\, published by Cambridge University Press in 2010. The book won the 2012 Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order and the 2011 Chadwick Alger Prize presented by the International Studies Association to the best book on international organizations and multilateralism. Research for this project has also appeared in Foreign Affairs\, International Organization\, the Review of African Political Economy\, the African Studies Review\, the African Security Review\, International Peacekeeping\, the Revista de Relaciones Internationales\, and the Journal of Humanitarian Affairs. It is the topic of a recent TED Talk that has more than 750\,000 views.\n\nProfessor Autesserre's work has won numerous other prizes and fellowships\, including two research awards from the United States Institute of Peace (2004-2005 and 2010-2012)\, two Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation research grants (2010 and 2011)\, a Presidential Research Award from Barnard College (2010)\, several grants from Columbia University (2010 – 2016)\, two Mellon Fellowships in Security and Humanitarian Action (2004-2006)\, the 2006 Best Graduate Student Paper award from the African Studies Association\, and a Fulbright Fellowship (1999-2000). \n\nProfessor Autesserre teaches undergraduate classes such as \"Civil Wars and International Interventions in Africa\,\" \"Building Peace\,\" and \"Aid\, Violence\, and Politics in Africa.\" She also regularly offers a SIPA course (\"Civil Wars and Peace Settlements\") and a doctoral seminar entitled \"Debates on International Peace Interventions.\"\n\nBefore becoming an academic\, Dr. Autesserre worked for humanitarian organizations (including Doctors Without Borders and Doctors of the World) and development agencies in Afghanistan\, Kosovo\, the Democratic Republic of Congo\, Nicaragua\, and India. She holds a post-doctorate from Yale University (2007)\, a Ph.D. in political science from New York University (2006)\, and master’s degrees in international relations and political science from Columbia University (2000) and Sciences Po (France\, 1999).\n\nAcademic Focus: \nPeacekeeping and peacebuilding\nDemocratic Republic of Congo\nInternational relations\nPolitics of humanitarian and development aid

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE 285 Undergraduate Seminar Series - Engineering with an Operations Mindset
DESCRIPTION:Edward Van Cise\nNASA Flight Director\nJohnson Space Center\n\nThe International Space Station is a large\, unique\, world class research facility in Low Earth Orbit.  In its 18 years of human occupancy\, thousands of research activities have been conducted across the spectrum of the arts\, sciences\, and engineering fields.  This spacecraft\, now with some components that have been in space for 20 years and said to be one of the largest and most complex multinational engineering tasks ever attempted has much to share.  In this seminar\, Mr. Ed Van Cise describes the role the Operations teams play in the accomplishment of the missions of the Space Station.  He will also use case studies to describe the importance of involvement of an “operations mindset” in the design and implementation phases of any major engineering project.  Finally\, he will briefly examine the importance of High Performing\, High Reliability teams and organizations when designing and operating large\, complex\, unique\, and costly projects and systems.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nEd Van Cise is a Class of 2000 Aerospace Engineering graduate of the University of Michigan College of Engineering. Mr. Van Cise has been working in ISS operations at the NASA Johnson Space Center since 1998 when he started as a co-operative education student. Mr. Van Cise has been certified to operate in a number of positions in International Space Station Mission Control\, to include the areas of Structures & Mechanisms\, In-Flight Maintenance\, Motion Control\, Command and Data Handling\, and Communications.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Does Harassment Prevention Prevent Harassment? Evidence from the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:Two decades ago the Supreme Court vetted the workplace harassment programs popular at the time\; sexual harassment training and harassment grievance procedures. Yet harassment at work remains common. Do these programs reduce harassment? Program effects have been difficult to measure\, but because women frequently quit their jobs after being harassed\, programs that reduce harassment should help firms to retain current and aspiring women managers. Thus\, effective programs should be followed by increases in women managers. We analyze data from 805 companies over 32 years to explore how new sexual harassment programs affect the representation of white\, black\, Hispanic\, and Asian-American women in management. We find support for several propositions. First\, sexual harassment grievance procedures\, shown in surveys to incite retaliation without satisfying complainants\, are followed by decreases in women managers. Second\, training for managers\, which encourages managers to look for signs of trouble and intervene\, is followed by increases in women managers. Third\, employee training\, which proscribes specific behaviors and signals that male trainees are potential perpetrators\, is followed by decreases in women managers. Two propositions specify how management composition moderates program effects. One\, because women are more likely to believe harassment complaints and less likely to respond negatively to training\, in firms with more women managers\, programs work better. Two\, in firms with more women managers\, group threat may reduce the effectiveness of sexual harassment programs for white women – the group of women posing the biggest threat to male managers.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Books Talk: \"Dance Me a Song\" and \"Black Opera\"
DESCRIPTION:In Black Opera: History\, Power\, Engagement (published May 4\, 2018)\, Naomi André draws on the experiences of performers and audiences to explore this music's resonance with today's listeners. Interacting with creators and performers\, as well as with the works themselves\, André reveals how black opera unearths suppressed truths. These truths provoke complex\, if uncomfortable\, reconsideration of racial\, gender\, sexual\, and other oppressive ideologies. Opera\, in turn\, operates as a cultural and political force that employs an immense\, transformative power to represent or even liberate.\n\nIn Dance Me a Song: Astaire\, Balanchine\, Kelly\, and the American Film Musical (published June 27\, 2018)\, Beth Genné traces Astaire's\, Balanchine's\, and Kelly's collaborations with composers and film-makers\, crossing stylistic and class boundaries to develop a truly modern dance style and genres for the film musical. She contextualizes their work within the history of dance\, music\, and film and its roots in the diverse dance and music cultures of jazz age America's nation of immigrants. She demonstrates how concepts and visual-musical devices derived from dance-making would give entire films\, both musical and non-musical\, the rhythmic flow and feeling of dance.\n\nNaomi André is Associate Professor in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Women’s Studies\, and the Associate Director for Faculty at the Residential College at the University of Michigan. Her earlier books\, Voicing Gender: Castrati\, Travesti\, and the Second Woman in Early Nineteenth-Century Italian Opera (2006) and Blackness in Opera (2012\, co-edited collection) focus on opera from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries and explore constructions of gender\, race and identity.\n\nBeth Genné is Professor of Dance History and Art History in the Dance Department and the Arts and Ideas concentration of the Residential College. She has written numerous book chapters on British ballet and dance in film (including Gene Kelly and Vincente Minnelli) and articles in such journals as Dance Research\, Dance Chronicle\, and Art Journal. Her first book\, The Making of a Choreographer\, was on the early training and choreographic development of Ninette de Valois\, founder of the Royal Ballet.

DESCRIPTION:.Title :  When Orgasms Do Not Equal Pleasure:                                                  \n\nAccounts of Bad Orgasm Experiences During Consensual Sexual Encounters\n\n\n\nAbstract: Orgasm is considered by many to be the most satisfying aspect of sex. Accordingly\, orgasms are generally assumed to be wholly positive experiences\; and thus\, sex with orgasm is assumed to be always necessarily positive or pleasurable. But\, are orgasms always experienced in unilaterally positive ways? The evidence that women and men can orgasm while being sexually assaulted suggests that the answer is no\; orgasm can result from physical stimulation even during resistance and absence of arousal. Despite this\, research has yet to explore the frequency of orgasms in non-positive consensual sexual encounters and whether orgasms themselves can be non-positive\, or even negative. This calls to question: 1) Do individuals experience orgasm in non-positive consensual sexual encounters and how do individuals characterize these experiences? 2) Can orgasms themselves be non-positive or negative?\nIn this talk\, I will discuss findings from my dissertation project\, which suggested that orgasm during non-positive and/or negative consensual sexual encounters may be a common phenomenon despite notions that orgasm equates that a sexual encounter was positive and pleasurable. I will discuss how participants characterized their bad orgasm experiences\, how social location can create stressful expectations for orgasm\, and how participants comments complicated notions of orgasm as inherently pleasurable.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Fish out of water: Did Our Earliest Ancestors Walk Onto Land?
DESCRIPTION:One of the great mysteries regarding the evolution of animals is how and when tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates) achieved the ability to stand and move on solid ground. Old perceptions that our fish ancestors gradually evolved limbs with digits on terra firma have been discarded in light of new evidence favoring a wholly aquatic origin. This scenario implies tetrapods transitioned from swimming in water to walking on land at some point during their evolutionary history. But\, which pioneering tetrapod species could move on land and how well? Did tetrapods walk out of their watery habitat on all four legs or were there intermediate locomotor ‘steps’ along the way? Using 3D modeling techniques and ancient muscle reconstructions\, I will demonstrate that the earliest tetrapods (based on body fossils\, e.g.\, Ichthyostega) may have lacked the limb mobility and musculature critical for walking. Instead\, it is hypothesized that the front and back legs performed divergent functions: on land\, the front legs may have been used simultaneously to pull the animal over muddy substrate\; while in water\, the back legs may have acted as flippers for swimming.

SUMMARY:Other:Halogen Bonding in Single Electron Transfers to Initiate New Radical Reactions
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                Non-covalent halogen bonding has been utilized in biological systems to increase the binding affinities of synthetic drugs to receptor sites in the body. These weak interactions typically mimic hydrogen bonding but offer a hydrophobic alternative to the typical polar or charged groups that are present in natural biological systems. Recently\, our lab has identified halogen bonding as an important feature of electron-transfer for initiating certain radical reactions. We have strong preliminary experimental and computational evidence demonstrating the importance of halogen bonding in the context of radical fluorination\, and believe a generalized strategy may be applied to a wide range of free radical reactions including heteroarene alkylation and arylation.                      \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nRyan Baxter (University of California at Merced)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:NERS Colloquium:  Qing Peng\, NERS
DESCRIPTION:Qing Peng\, NERS\nMystery of the Formation of <100> Loops in Irradiated Iron\nHost: Fei Gao\n\nAbstract: Dislocations are one-dimensional defects and play an essential role in properties of crystalline\, including bcc iron. The <100> interstitial-type dislocation loops commonly exist in irradiated ferritic steels as discovered by Transmission Electronic Microscopy studies since early 1960s. The formation mechanism\, however\, is still a puzzle despite extensive investigations and debates in the past half-century.  It is well accepted that the formation energies for <100> interstitial loops are higher than that of <111> interstitial loops. As a consequence\, the <100> interstitial loops are unlikely to form since it is energetically unfavorable. The direct observations of the formation of <100> interstitial loops are therefore absent. Part of the reason is that the generation of these loops are too short for experiments\, but also thought to be too long for atomistic simulations. Using large scale molecular dynamics simulations with up to 220 million atoms\, we directly observed the dynamical process of the generation of the <100> interstitial loops in a single displacement cascade event. The formation mechanism of these loops will be further discussed.\n\nBio: Dr. Qing Peng is a Research Fellow in the department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences\, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.  He received his Ph.D. in Physics from University of Connecticut in 2005\, M.S. from Physics department\, State University of New York at Binghamton in 2000\, and B.S. in Nuclear Engineering from Peking University in 1998. His current research focuses on computational modeling of the irradiation damage of materials using molecular dynamics simulations\, first-principles calculations\, and multiscale modeling. Dr. Peng has published over 80 peer-reviewed journal papers with H-index of 23. Dr. Peng serves as an Editorial board member for Scientific Reports since 2015.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Reliable Evidence from Health Care Data: Lessons from the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) Collaborative
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Concerns over reproducibility in science extend to research using existing healthcare data\; many observational studies investigating the same topic produce conflicting results\, even when using the same data. To address this problem\, we propose a paradigm shift. The current paradigm centers on generating one estimate at a time using a unique study design with unknown reliability and publishing (or not) one estimate at a time. The new paradigm advocates for high-throughput observational studies using consistent and standardized methods\, allowing evaluation\, calibration\, and unbiased dissemination to generate a more reliable and complete evidence base. We demonstrate this new paradigm by comparing all depression treatments for a set of outcomes\, producing 17\,718 hazard ratios\, each using methodology on par with state-of-the-art studies. We furthermore include control hypotheses to evaluate and calibrate our evidence generation process. Results show good transitivity and consistency between databases\, and agree with four out of the five findings from clinical trials. The distribution of effect size estimates reported in literature reveals an absence of small or null effects\, with a sharp cutoff at p = 0.05. No such phenomena were observed in our results\, suggesting more complete and more reliable evidence.\n\n \n\nBio:  Marc A. Suchard is a Professor in the Departments of Biostatistics\, of Biomathematics and of Human Genetics in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He earned his Ph.D. in biomathematics from UCLA in 2002 and continued for a M.D. degree which he received in 2004.  Dr. Suchard is a leading Bayesian statistician who focuses on inference of stochastic processes in molecular epidemiology of infectious diseases. His training in both medicine and applied probability help to bridge the gap of understanding between statistical theory and clinical practicality. Dr. Suchard has been awarded several prestigious statistical awards such as the 2003 Savage Award\, the 2006 and 2011 Mitchell Prizes\, as well as a 2007 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship in computational and molecular evolutionary biology\, and a 2008 Guggenheim Fellowship to further computational statistics.  Finally\, he received the 2011 Raymond J. Carroll Young Investigator Award and the 2013 Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS) Presidents’ Award for outstanding contributions to the statistics profession by a person aged 40 or under.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Seminar Title: Unraveling the enigma of the translocator protein 18kD\, TSPO.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe precise physiological roles of the ancient and conserved membrane protein TSPO (otherwise known as the translocator protein 18kD or the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor) remain obscure.  The original discovery of TSPO in mammals occurred when it was found as an additional binding site for benzodiazepine drugs.  High expression in tissues involved in steroid hormone synthesis along with other evidence suggested a regulatory role in cholesterol uptake into mitochondria\, especially under stress conditions. More recently\, TSPO knockout mouse models show inconsistent characteristics that weaken this hypothesis\, although some common features exist: the loss of TSPO increased lipid oxidation\, decreased ATP synthesis and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential.  Another common feature of TSPO across all kingdoms appears to be the ability to bind porphyrins\, including heme and protoporphyrin IX\, likely endogenous ligands. Yet despite decades of research\, there is no consensus regarding the nature and mechanism of TSPO effects. In this talk\, I will discuss the current state of the structural\, biochemical\, and physiological analyses that are beginning to reveal how TSPO functions.

SUMMARY:Presentation:American Nightmares Photography Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Detroit Center and The Carr Center invite you to the reception for our first exhibition collaboration\, American Nightmares\n\nJoin us Friday\, the 16th of November\, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm at The U-M Detroit Center (3663 Woodward Ave. Suite 150\, Detroit\, MI 48201) as artist Andrew Ross Evans will give a talk about his exhibit in the Detroit Center's Mont's Hall Gallery\n\nLight refreshments will be served\n\nAbout the Artist:\n\nAndrew Ross Evans is a self-taught surrealist photographer born and raised in Detroit. He has been shooting for over 10 years. He uses surreal images to create expressive narratives for his viewers. Andrew’s visionary and textual images speak directly to our fears\, dreams\, and desires without being prescriptive\, formulaic\, or giving us the answers. Evans explores themes of mortality\, the ephemeral\, and beauty in his photographs and poetry.  \n\n\nAbout the Exhibition:\n\nAmerican Nightmares is a photography exhibition of the work of Andrew Ross Evans. The exhibit is an introspective exploration of dreams and personal experience in contemporary America. Beautiful and haunting these dreamscapes\, paired with the artist’s own writings\, construct a vivid picture of Evans’ positionality\, and a dialogue about the interstitial liminal spaces between life\, death\, desire\, aversion\, beauty\, and ugliness. Evans’ visual and textual works\, although deeply personal\, deal with universally human tropes and implicate the viewer in the process\, beckoning us to likewise explore.\n\nTo RSVP\, click the link below

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Burt Lake Burnout
DESCRIPTION:The Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Native Americans were the first permanent year-around residents of Michigan's Tip of the Mitt region. Their ancestral land along Cheboiganing (Burt) Lake dates back to the early 1700s. During the 1850s\, members of the small Band constructed log cabin homes near the mouth of the Maple River in the area of Maple Bay\, on Cheboiganing (Burt) Lake's Indian Point. Along with their 20 or so log homes\, and agricultural fields\, Band members constructed a Catholic Mission Church\, a log rectory\, and a 5 acre cemetery. Their Indian Village\, as it was referred to\, thrived until Monday October 15\, 1900. This is the story of the destruction of Indian Village- now referred to as \"a bitter memory.\"\n\nThis event is a part of Native American Heritage Month which is celebrated throughout the month of November.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dick Siegel
DESCRIPTION:Dick Siegel won the Best New Folk Artist award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas\, and he's inspired plenty of songwriters in Michigan and beyond. Recently he's been showing up at next-generation roots events like Hollerfest and fitting right in. Dick is an immensely gifted and versatile composer. Ranging from jump blues and Buddy Holly-style pop to folk balladry and new folk lyricism\, his songs offer all sorts of immediate lyrical and musical pleasures. Dick was named in WDET's list of the most important and influential artists in the history of Detroit\, alongside legends such as John Lee Hooker\, Stevie Wonder\, and Aretha Franklin. \"I'm celebratory—I celebrate life from the huge to the minute\, from the tragic to the hilarious\,\" he explains. In concert\, he expertly steps into the roles of a raconteur\, a confidante\, your best friend\, a prophet\, a comedian\, a pair of eyes on the universe\, and an interpreter of daydreams.

DESCRIPTION:The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research\, and are beautiful in their detail\, form and symmetry. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Organic Fiction: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical\, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora. It also explores issues such as slavery\, colonization\, migration\, racism\, and identity at play in the objects and their histories. Highlights include paintings\, photographs\, sculpture\, and installations by Kudzanai Chiurai\, Omar Victor Diop\, Wangechi Mutu\, and Serge Alain Nitegeka. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated publication\, the tenth in the UMMA Books series.\n\nLead support for 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Office of Research\, African Studies Center\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and Susan Ullrich.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies
