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.

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.

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520868@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181106T142507 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181116T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181116T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:U-M BME 2018 Career Week DESCRIPTION:The BME Fall 2018 Career Event focuses on networking\, recruiting\, and mentoring.

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.

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

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

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

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).

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.

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. Mr. Van Cise has instructed flight controllers and astronauts in various maintenance lessons and worked a number of ISS assembly missions. Mr. Van Cise was selected as a Flight Director in 2009.

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.

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.

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.

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) UID:53007-13179050@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53007 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180920T010108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181116T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MESWN Coffee and Book Club DESCRIPTION:MESWN (Michigan Earth Science Women's Network) is very happy to start a book club aimed at professional development of women from all disciplines.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520869@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181002T140952 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181117T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Addams Family DESCRIPTION:THE ADDAMS FAMILY is a musical comedy for the entire family!

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.

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

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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520870@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181011T185047 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181118T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Cabaret DESCRIPTION:The relationship between a young American writer and Kit Kat Club cabaret performer develops in 1931 Berlin during the Nazis' rise to power.\n\nMusic & Lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb\nDirected by Isabel K.

Click HERE to see the film series schedule.\n\nSynopsis \n\nOver 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine\, climate change and war in the greatest human displacement since World War II. Human Flow\, an epic film journey led by the internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei\, gives a powerful visual expression to this massive human migration. The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact.\n\nCaptured over the course of an eventful year in 23 countries\, the film follows a chain of urgent human stories that stretches across the globe in countries including Afghanistan\, Bangladesh\, France\, Greece\, Germany\, Iraq\, Israel\, Italy\, Kenya\, Mexico\, and Turkey. Human Flow is a witness to its subjects and their desperate search for safety\, shelter and justice: from teeming refugee camps to perilous ocean crossings to barbed-wire borders\; from dislocation and disillusionment to courage\, endurance and adaptation\; from the haunting lure of lives left behind to the unknown potential of the future. Human Flow comes at a crucial time when tolerance\, compassion and trust are needed more than ever. This visceral work of cinema is a testament to the unassailable human spirit and poses one of the questions that will define this century: Will our global society emerge from fear\, isolation\, and self-interest and choose a path of openness\, freedom\, and respect for humanity?\n\nAmazon Studios and Participant Media present\, in association with AC Films\, Human Flow\, a film directed by Ai Weiwei. Human Flow is produced by Ai Weiwei\, Chin-Chin Yap and Heino Deckert and executive produced by Andrew Cohen of AC Films with Jeff Skoll and Diane Weyermann of Participant Media. \n\n– Courtesy of Amazon Studio UID:57523-14209022@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57523 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Film,Free LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Theater 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181011T121535 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181118T160000 SUMMARY:Performance:Michigan Youth Chamber Singers and Michigan Youth Women’s Chorale Concert DESCRIPTION:Michigan Youth Women’s Chorale\, Julie Skadsem\, conductor. \nPROGRAM: arr.

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

He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally\, for more than forty years\, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine\, The Big Scream\, providing a venue for more than 200 poets\, including both big names names and younger\, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year\, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.\n\nOn view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday\, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. UID:55790-13777611@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55790 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Library,Poetry LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181011T172939 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181119T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181119T180000 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.

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.

In this talk\, I will present the following: types and rates of adversity experienced\, rates of specific forms of psychopathology\, longitudinal correlates of specific forms of childhood adversity on adolescent brain development\, and possible social as well as neurobiological pathways to resilience. \n\n \nBio\nChris is a Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry. He is also a Research Professor in the Survey Research Center at ISR and the Center for Human Growth and Development. Chris received his PhD in Child Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience from the University of Minnesota. He then went on to the NIMH Intramural Research Program where he was a postdoc and later a fellow. His research program involves two active and related lines of research. In the first line\, he is examining how poverty-related stressors and the developmental timing of those stressors impact brain development\, stress hormone regulation and anxiety as well as depression symptoms during adolescence. For the second line of research\, he is investigating how effective treatments for anxiety (cognitive behavioral therapy or medication) alter brain function and how these brain alterations relate to clinical outcome in children and adolescents.

The first part concerns two examples wherein transition metals are examined as substrates for catalytic reactions rather than in their traditional role as catalysts. Operating from this perspective\, supramolecular catalysis of C(sp3)-C(sp3) reductive elimination and organoborane catalyzed C(sp3)-CF3 reductive elimination will be discussed\, with the latter applied to [18F]-radiotrifluoromethylation. The second section will continue the focus on fluorination through the development of a new aryliodine catalyst for enantioselective olefin difluorination\, exploring structural features that improve catalyst robustness and selectivity and enabling the preparation of chiral fluorinated building blocks. \n \n \n \n \nMark Levin\, PhD (Harvard University) UID:57146-14121949@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57146 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180905T091520 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181119T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181119T170000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Cross-Campus Transfer Info Sessions DESCRIPTION:If you are enrolled in another University of Michigan-Ann Arbor school or college and are interested in transferring to LSA\, you must attend a transferring to LSA information session.\n\nInfo sessions will be held in Angell Hall\, Room G243 at 4:00 p.m. on the following dates:\n\nTuesday\, September 11\nMonday\, September 17\nTuesday\, October 2\nMonday\, October 22\nMonday\, November 19\nTuesday\, December 4\nWednesday\, December 12 UID:54741-13642957@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54741 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Undergraduate LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181119T181618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181119T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181119T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Testing LCDM with Weak Lensing and Galaxy Statistics in the Dark Energy Survey DESCRIPTION:We can use the statistics of observed galaxy properties in large photometric imaging surveys to probe the Universe's underlying physics.

However\, in the past several decades it has become clear that the central nervous system (CNS) can augment or even cause pain in the absence of noxious input. In addition to chronic widespread pain\, many patients have increased sensitivity to multiple sensory stimuli (e.g. sound\, odor\, and light) suggesting a global dysfunction in sensory processing. However\, the CNS alterations associated with sensory hypersensitivity in chronic pain patients remain largely unknown. The prospective goal of my research is to identify network mechanisms that contribute to sensory hypersensitivity in chronic pain patients. Combining quantitative sensory testing\, neuroimaging and computational data analysis methods\, I will measure functional connectivity and network architecture at rest and during presentation of aversive stimuli in patients and healthy participants. These analyses aim to provide novel insight into how multiple brain regions interact and contribute to pain and sensory hypersensitivity. Furthermore\, these results will help us to understand the neural signature of and mechanisms involved in multisensory processing in chronic pain.

McAdams\n\nMonday\, November 19\, 2018\n4:00-5:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nRegister: http://myumi.ch/aXyqR\n\nMichigan Ross Campus\nRoss Building\n701 Tappan \nRobertson Auditorium\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-1234\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nBeginning in the adolescent and emerging adult years\, many people create stories to make sense of their lives. Narrative identity is the internalized and evolving story of the self that explains how a person has come to be the unique person he or she is becoming. \n\nIn this talk\, McAdams will describe recent psychological research on narrative identity\, with an emphasis on stories of personal redemption (triumphing over adversity and suffering) and their strong connections to mental health\, psychological well-being\, and positive societal engagement. \n\nIn various forms such as narratives of upward mobility\, atonement\, recovery\, and personal liberation\, the redemptive life stories told by American men and women today\, especially in their midlife years\, reprise important cultural ideals that have traditionally been associated with living a good life in America. \n\nAbout McAdams:\nDan P. McAdams is the Henry Wade Rogers Professor of Psychology and Professor of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University. Author of nearly 300 scientific articles and chapters\, numerous edited volumes\, and seven books\, McAdams works in the areas of personality and life-span developmental psychology. His theoretical and empirical writings focus on concepts of self and identity in contemporary American society and on themes of power\, intimacy\, redemption\, and generativity across the adult life course. \n\nMcAdams is the author most recently of The Art and Science of Personality Development and The Redemptive Self: Stories Americans Live By. He also wrote a psychological biography entitled George W. Bush and the Redemptive Dream: A Psychological Portrait. In 2016\, The Atlantic commissioned him to write an extended psychological essay on the life and mind of Donald J. Trump\, which appeared as the cover article for the June 2016 issue of that magazine.\n\nHost: \nJulia Lee\, Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations\n\nSponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks University of Michigan Organizational Learning\, Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, Samuel Zell & Robert H.

While the nurse demand uncertainty is exogenous (stemming from the random patient census)\, the nurse absenteeism uncertainty is endogenous\, i.e.\, the number of nurses present partially depends on the nurse staffing level. For the quality of care\, many hospitals have developed float pools of nurses by cross-training\, so that a pool nurse can be assigned to the units short of nurses. In this talk\, we propose a distributionally robust nurse staffing (DRNS) model that considers both exogenous and endogenous uncertainties. We derive a decomposition algorithm to solve this model. In addition\, we identify several float pool structures that often arise in practice and allow us to reformulate the DRNS model as a monolithic mixed-integer linear program\, which facilitates off-the-shelf commercial solvers. Furthermore\, we optimize the float pool design to reduce the cross-training while achieving a specified target staffing costs. The numerical case studies\, based on the data of a collaborating hospital\, lead to recommendations for the float pool design from an operational perspective.\n\nRuiwei Jiang is an Assistant Professor of Industrial & Operations Engineering in the University of Michigan. He conducts research on the theory of stochastic and robust optimization\, integer programming\, and their applications on power systems and healthcare operations. Ruiwei’s research has been recognized with the INFORMS George Nicholson student paper award\, the Stochastic Programming Society student paper award\, the INFORMS Junior Faculty Interest Group paper award (honorable mention). \n\nThe seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.\nFor additional information and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, \nplease contact genehkim@umich.edu UID:57692-14261248@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57692 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Industrial and Operations Engineering,Medicine,seminar LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering - 1123 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181106T105727 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181119T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181119T200000 SUMMARY:Meeting:My Brothers Empowerment Series DESCRIPTION:My Brothers is a monthly dialogue series focused around the success and cross-cultural development of self-identified men of color at the University of Michigan.

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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520872@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181113T110716 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181120T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181120T103000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Elements of Business Sustainability Series: Social Sustainability in the Workplace DESCRIPTION:Dana Building | Room 3038\, Nov. 20\, 9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. UID:57661-14252622@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57661 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Environment,Graduate School,Sustainability,Undergraduate LOCATION:Dana Building - 3038 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180814T152156 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181120T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181120T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What Happened in the November 2018 Elections DESCRIPTION:Professor Traugott studies the mass media and their impact on American 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.

'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.

Starting in the 2000s\, China shifted from attracting foreign investment to promoting domestic firms. This shift led city bureaucrats to compete for funding and tax breaks to benefit their business clients. While bureaucrats in some cities successfully motivated local businesses to upgrade\, others deprived businesses of their developmental space. With 18 months of in-depth interviews\, original surveys\, and quantitative data\, Professor Chen argues that this regional variation is rooted in how foreign firms strengthened or weakened vested interest coalitions and the historical patterns of local capitalism. She advances a new theory to explain the implementation of economic policies in China and other emerging economies that comprise the new \"globalized\" generation. \n \nLing Chen is Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies. Previously\, she was a Shorenstein Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University and Rajawali Fellow at the Ash Center of the Harvard Kennedy School. Her research interests lie in comparative politics and political economy\, especially the political origins of economic policies and government-business relations in China. Her works have appeared in multiple peer-reviewed journals. She is the author of \"Manipulating Globalization: The Influence of Bureaucrats on Business in China\" (Stanford University Press\, 2018). Chen was recognized as the Diversity Scholar by the University of Michigan. Her research has received support from institutions such as the Social Science Research Council\, Andrew Mellon Foundation\, Institute for Humane Studies and Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation.\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.

Officially dubbed the \"Candlelight Revolution\,\" the peaceful transfer of power was a result of massive street demonstrations\, which in turn highlighted the role of new media such as the podcast. Ideally suited to the era of smartphones\, podcast fell through the cracks in the regulatory framework of South Korean media environment\, and allowed the public to access information and news stories that had been quashed in mainstream terrestrial\, cable\, and paper news media. The podcast also became the venue for innovating political idiom in irreverent and parodic ways\, and for bringing politics into the realm of pop culture in a widespread phenomenon that came to be known as “poli-tainment” (politics + entertainment). As part of ongoing work on cultural politics of resistance and democratization\, the talk will address how the podcast boom sparked the carnivalesque rebirth of protest culture at the heart of South Korea's latest struggle for democracy.

He has been particularly concerned with the relationship between imaginaries\, or theories on the urban form\, and concrete realities. Put it differently\, he is interested in the ways which new forms of imagining and representing the city may emerge\, and how they can be put to the use of recalibrating the transformation of spaces historically inherited\, through colonialism for instance. This argumentation is at the centre of the book he has been working on called In the skin of the city:Luanda and the dialectics of Spatial Transformation.\n\n \n\nAnother trend of his work is the theory and practice of nationalisms and national liberation movements in Africa. He is the author of a study of the African nationalist Amílcar Cabral\, O Fazedor de Utopias: uma Biografia de Amílcar Cabral [The Maker of Utopias: A Biography of Amílcar Cabral]\, published in Portugal in 2007\, and in Cape Verde in 2018. The book is being currently translated and updated into English by the author himself.\n\n \n\nHe has also acted as a public intellectual and has written for newspapers in Angola and Portugal on topics ranging from racism\, colonialism and decolonization\, cultural studies\, to contemporary politics in Angola. A collection of his journalistic writings has been published under the title: Poligrafia: das páginas dos Jornais Angolanos (Luanda\, Casa das Ideias\, 2010).\n\n \n\nTomás earned his PhD from Columbia University\, in the city of New York\, in 2012\, and was the recipient of the Ray Pahl Fellowship in 2014 at the African Centre for Cities\, the institution he has joined on a permanent basis in 2017 to help shaping the new academic programme focused on Southern Urbanism. He has taught and visited a number of institutions of higher education\, such as École Normale des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales\, Sciences Po\, both in Paris – France\, Makerere Institute of Social Research in Kampala – Uganda\, as well as University of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape – South Africa.

Most bacterial trGTPases\, including IF2\, EF-Tu\, EF-G\, and RF3\, play well-known roles in translation. The cellular functions of LepA (also termed EF4) and BipA (also termed TypA)\, on the other hand\, have remained enigmatic. I will discuss recent evidence that LepA and BipA function in biogenesis of the 30S and 50S subunit\, respectively. These findings have important implications for ribosome biogenesis in bacteria. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nKurt Fredrick (The Ohio State University) UID:53787-13461544@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53787 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181119T092951 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181120T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181120T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Calling Pyongyang: Changes in Journalistic Approaches to North Korea since 2000 DESCRIPTION:How does news get made when it comes to North Korea\, one of the least accessible regimes in the world? My talk traces changes in the production of news over the past two decades. First\, there are more eyes on the ground\, with higher numbers of journalists\, diplomats\, and tourists in the country. Second\, the explosive growth in the number of North Korean defectors has had a mixed impact on journalism. While the defectors’ testimonies added context\, they also led to an increase in sensationalistic coverage with unverified reports of human rights abuses. Third\, the 2009 introduction of cellular phones to the North Korean population has made it much easier for reporters to communicate directly with North Koreans. Taken together\, the changes not only show a shift in journalistic norms\, but also hint at a fundamental shift of the Pyongyang regime towards more openness.\n\nSoomin Seo is an assistant professor in the Department of Journalism and a member of the Media and Communication Doctoral Program at Temple University in Philadelphia\, USA.

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

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

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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520873@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181121T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181121T170000 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.

'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.

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.

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.

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

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