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:Innovations in Ornament
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: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: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:Innovations in Ornament
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: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: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:Conference / Symposium:ASC/WiSER Mellon Workshop 2018. The Filmic and the Photographic: African Visual Cultures
DESCRIPTION:There is a rich and growing literature in African Studies that critically assesses both past and present generations of photography and film in Africa. One thread in this body of work looks for ways of centering African photographers and filmmakers as creators of new styles\, looks\, and subjectivities. Another thread looks at the artistic environments that Africans created\, at the ways in which images (both still and filmic) shaped religious sentiments and formed communities. A third thread looks at what is termed vernacular photography in distinct African locations\, focusing on the materiality and mobility of images. A fourth thread looks at processes of archival preservation\, collection and digitization as well as creative acts of recuperation\, that is\, newly curated exhibits of old things—both photographs and films. A final thread explores how Africans engaged\, appropriated\, synthesized\, interpreted filmic and photographic practices from beyond Africa. \n    \nThis workshop will bring together a range of scholars working on these and other contemporary issues in the field of African visual cultures. We are interested in blurring the photographic with the filmic in order to explore the qualities of one as inherent to the other.\n\nPanel sessions are free and open to the public. Visit ii.umich.edu/asc/ahi and click the U-M/WiSER Mellon Workshop section for conference details.

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: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: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:Lindsay Lou
DESCRIPTION:Touring behind the release of their record\, \"Ionia\,\" Michigan-to-Nashville transplant Lindsay Lou and her band have been featured in the lineup of prestigious affairs such as the Shetland Island Folk Festival and Celtic Connections in Scotland\, the Stagecoach Music Festival in California\, boasting around 55\,000 attendees\, the Bluegrass Jamboree in Germany\, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado\, Merlefest in North Carolina\, Wheatland\, and the Pagosa Springs Folk Festival in Colorado\, among many others. They were named one of NPR Music’s 12 best live performance sessions of 2015 by Mountain Stage.

In the words of David Grier\, “Lindsay ... sings the way you would want to if you could. Phrasing\, tone\, emotion\, it's all there. Effortless seemingly. Simply mesmerizing. Riveting! Don't miss the musical force that is Lindsay Lou.”  Lindsay's brand new full-length \"Southland\" is a collection of songs delivered with soulfully fierce intensity and tender intimacy that demands your attention.The Sweet Water Warblers—the trio of Lindsay Lou\, May Erlewine\, and Rachael Davis—are very special guests.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:ASC/WiSER Mellon Workshop 2018. The Filmic and the Photographic: African Visual Cultures
DESCRIPTION:There is a rich and growing literature in African Studies that critically assesses both past and present generations of photography and film in Africa. One thread in this body of work looks for ways of centering African photographers and filmmakers as creators of new styles\, looks\, and subjectivities. Another thread looks at the artistic environments that Africans created\, at the ways in which images (both still and filmic) shaped religious sentiments and formed communities. A third thread looks at what is termed vernacular photography in distinct African locations\, focusing on the materiality and mobility of images. A fourth thread looks at processes of archival preservation\, collection and digitization as well as creative acts of recuperation\, that is\, newly curated exhibits of old things—both photographs and films. A final thread explores how Africans engaged\, appropriated\, synthesized\, interpreted filmic and photographic practices from beyond Africa. \n    \nThis workshop will bring together a range of scholars working on these and other contemporary issues in the field of African visual cultures. We are interested in blurring the photographic with the filmic in order to explore the qualities of one as inherent to the other.\n\nPanel sessions are free and open to the public. Visit ii.umich.edu/asc/ahi and click the U-M/WiSER Mellon Workshop section for conference details.

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.

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: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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Who Reads Fake News? Evidence from the 2016 and 2018 campaigns
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\nThough some warnings about online \"echo chambers\" have been hyperbolic\, tendencies toward selective exposure to politically congenial content are likely to extend to misinformation and to be exacerbated by social media platforms. We test this prediction using data on the factually dubious articles known as \"fake news.\" Using unique data combining survey responses with individual-level web traffic histories\, we evaluate consumption of fake news during the 2016 and 2018 elections\, the role of Facebook in exposing people to fake news\, and the effectiveness of fact-checks in countering it.

SUMMARY:Other:Developmental Brown Bag
DESCRIPTION:Title: \"How 'you' makes meaning.\"\n\nAbstract:\nWhy do people say 'you' when they really mean 'me'?  The answer reveals how our attempts to derive meaning from life experiences are woven into the fabric of everyday language. I will report our research finding that people--both adults and young children--spontaneously shift from a self-focused (\"I\") to a generalized (\"you\") perspective when thinking about norms or reflecting on difficult personal experiences. Using generic \"you\" helps people 'normalize' challenging events and achieve psychological distance. In this way\, a simple linguistic mechanism serves a powerful meaning-making function.\n\nBio:\nSusan is a Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Linguistics. She studies concepts and language in young children. She is especially interested in how children organize their experience into categories\, how categories guide children's reasoning\, how children discover and reason about non-obvious aspects of the world\, and the role of language in these processes. These interests have led to the study of concepts ranging from gender to digital privacy\, and to collaborations with colleagues in philosophy\, anthropology\, linguistics\, education\, marketing\, and pediatrics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Concordance Cosmology and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss the relevant statistical tools aimed at testing the concordance of cosmological observations and how they can be used as the most model independent test for the standard cosmological model. These statistical tests are a powerful way of assessing whether a specific model explains the observed measurements or whether there are indications of residual\, unaccounted\, systematic effects or hints toward new physical phenomena. I will show the results of these tests when applied to state of the art cosmological measurements and discuss the overall level of agreement of the standard cosmological model with observations. I will then move to discuss extensions of the standard model and how these might help in explaining some of the discrepant aspects of observations. In particular I will focus on dark energy and modified gravity models discussing their cosmological phenomenology and highlighting the observational aspects that they improve and that can be used to test them.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IOE 813 Seminar: Paula Anne Newman-Casey
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Newman-Casey is a clinical ophthalmologist who specializes in the medical and surgical management of glaucoma. She is an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. She completed medical school (2007)\, residency (2011) and fellowship (2013) at the University of Michigan. She holds a master’s degree in Health Services Research (University of Michigan\, 2012). Her current research on developing and testing technology based behavioral interventions to improve glaucoma self-management support. She is also interested in how operations engineering techniques can be used to improve patient’s experience in clinic and identify ways to integrate more education into patients’ clinical encounters. Her research is funded by a K23 Career Development Award from the National Eye Institute and a Research to Prevent Blindness Career Development Award. \nDuring the talk\, “The Intelligent Glaucoma Clinic: A Passive RFID Time Study System to Optimize Patient Wait Times\,” Dr. Newman-Casey will describe design choices that enabled the development of a low-cost\, continuous automated\, passive time-motion study in the glaucoma clinic. \nABSTRACT:  Objective: Outpatient clinics lack infrastructure to easily track and improve patient wait times. Our objective was to design a low-cost\, portable passive RFID system for real time localization within an outpatient clinic setting to measure patients wait times. \nMaterials and Methods: Direct observation was used to determine workflow in an outpatient glaucoma clinic at the University of Michigan. We used off-the shelf integrated ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID readers (ThingMagic\, Astra-Ex\, Woburn\, MA)\, UHF re-useable passive RFID tags (Zebra Impinj Monza 4QT\, Seattle\, WA) and a custom java RFID management application that was equipped with ‘live’ device administration to collect time and location data from patients and providers\; these choices enabled low cost system installation. Hidden Markov modeling was used to smooth patient and provider location data. The model was validated with: 1) direct patient observations 2) direct provider observations and 3) comparison of provider location by electronic health record audit log trail. \nResults: The smoothed RFID system data accurately predicted patient and provider presence >80% of the time. \nDiscussion: Passive RFID time study systems can enable real time localization of people in clinic\, facilitating continuous capture of patient wait times. The system must be customized to the clinic to improve accuracy. \nConclusions: Capturing wait time data continuously and passively can facilitate continuous clinical quality improvement initiatives to enhance the patient experience.  \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

SUMMARY:Presentation:UM Psychology Community Talk
DESCRIPTION:Title: When Counting Doesn't Count: The Development of Math Skills in Young Children\n\n\n\nAbstract: For decades schools have struggled with how to teach and increase the learning of mathematics in children. It has been the focus of multiple federal programs and funding agency (NSF\, NIH\, IES\, Gates Foundation) initiatives. Even with all of this focus and research dollars\, we see very few changes in children increasing their ability in mathematics especially in foundational skills like fractions. This presentation will review my research over the last few years on trying to understand the developmental pathways of math achievement. I will explore both individual characteristics (self-concept) and contextual influences (parenting\, socioeconomic status) that may relate to the early development of math skills. Throughout the talk\, the issue of whether or not counting is an important skill as children enter into schooling will be discussed as well as how math skills prior to formal schooling predict to college attendance.\n\nBio: Dr. Davis-Kean is Professor of Psychology (Developmental) at the University of Michigan where her research focuses on the various pathways that the socio-economic status (SES) of parents relates to the cognitive/achievement outcomes of their children\, specifically math achievement. Her primary focus is on parental educational attainment and how it can influence the development of the home environment throughout childhood\, adolescence\, and the transition to adulthood. Davis-Kean is also a Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research where she is the Program Director of the Population\, Neurodevelopment\, and Genetics (PNG) program. This collaboration examines the complex transactions of brain\, biology\, and behavior as children and families develop across time. She is interested in how both the micro (brain and biology) and macro (family and socioeconomic conditions) aspects of development relate to cognitive changes in children across the lifespan.

SUMMARY:Performance:Guest Master Class/Recital: Masumi Rostad\, viola
DESCRIPTION:Professor Masumi Rostad (Eastman) presents a mini-recital and master class.\n\nThe Grammy Award-winning violist Masumi Per Rostad has received praise for his rich and expressive tone\, energy\, and commanding presence\, and has been described by critics as an “electrifying\, poetic and sensitive musician.” In addition to performing\, Rostad teaches and has contributed to online and print publications.\nRostad started studying music\, initially on the violin\, at the Third Street Music School Settlement in New York City when he was three years old. He discovered the viola when he was twelve years old and four years later\, attracted to the instrument’s warm and mellow sound\, devoted himself to the viola.\n\nAs a member of the Pacifica Quartet\, which he joined in 2001\, Masumi has performed and toured extensively throughout the United States\, Europe\, Asia\, and Australia. In 2009\, the quartet received a Grammy for Best Chamber Music Performance and was named Musical America’s Ensemble of the Year. Other honors include the Cleveland Quartet Award and the Avery Fisher Career Grant. From 2009 to 2012\, Pacifica was the quartet-in-residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, a position that had been held only by the Guarneri String Quartet. The ensemble has served as quartet-in-residence at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music\, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, Northwestern University\, and the University of Chicago.\n\nAs a soloist\, Rostad has appeared at prominent festivals including Spoleto USA\, Music@Menlo\, Marlboro\, and Rockport Chamber Music\; collaborated with such string quartets as the St. Lawrence\, Pavel Hass\, Emerson\, and the Ying Quartet\, which is the quartet-in-residence at the Eastman School of Music\; and toured extensively and recorded as a former member of the International Sejong Soloists and the Metamorphosen Chamber Orchestra.\n\nRostad’s advocacy for the arts and passion to increase opportunities for audiences to hear chamber music led him to launch DoCha\, a festival in Champaign\, IL. Events feature multi-genre collaborative presentations from classical chamber music to contemporary dance to the spoken word. All programs are free and include performances for elementary school students and master classes\, competitions\, and performance opportunities for local music students.

SUMMARY:Other:LSA Honors #GivingBlueday Campaign 11.27.18
DESCRIPTION:For the fourth year\, the Honors Program is participating in the university-wide #GivingBlueday online fundraising campaign\, which falls annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. \n\nHere are Director Mika LaVaque-Manty's words on your impact opportunity\, sent recently as a letter to friends of Honors and alumni. Giving at every level is appreciated. Thank you for your support!\n\nBegin letter:\nGreetings from Ann Arbor! I write this from the newly renovated Honors Program office suite. With significant support from the College of LSA and our own funds\, Honors was able to bring our space to the twenty-first century. (If you had been in our space in the last ten years\, you will remember it looking\, as the dean put it\, rather sad.) The renovated space is more welcoming to our students\, whom we want to feel comfortable during advising\, at events\, or even stopping by to study. We also have a new conference room\, which is getting a lot of use particularly by our Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships (ONSF).\n\nIndeed\, ONSF\, which is part of Honors but provides a service to the entire U-M community\, has been remarkably successful. Last year\, its director\, Henry Dyson\, shepherded an unprecedented four U-M students to national finals for the Rhodes and Marshall scholarships — and ultimately to yet another Rhodes Scholar for Michigan\, Nadine Jawad. These our four finalists were just the tip of the iceberg\, \nas you may have read in the Honors Forum.\n\nAlso in the Forum\, you may have read about English senior Kai Mason\, who is pursuing our new Honors graduation opportunity\, Honors in Engaged Liberal Arts (HELA). With HELA\, instead of a thesis\, a student can graduate with Honors through a rigorous integration of leadership or other type of civic engagement with their academic work. This recognition arose from our observation that some of our best students forgo the conventional thesis because they are too busy making the world a better place — doing it intentionally\, often inspired by something in their curriculum and using further coursework to make sure their action is not just morally commendable\, but exemplifies the high standards of Honors. \n\nOne of our goals is to make HELA a feasible option for all students\, similar to the ways we already have of supporting our students’ research. It is\, therefore\, one of our primary philanthropic priorities in the next year or so\, as the program grows. Of course\, we welcome your help for any of the ways we have supported and will continue to support our students. You may participate in U-M’s #GivingBlueDay on Tuesday\, November 27\, remember us in your year-end gift — or just reward us by staying in touch. We love to hear from our alumni and friends! \n\nMeanwhile\, I wish you a lovely Thanksgiving \nand holiday season.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:ASC/WiSER Mellon Workshop 2018. The Filmic and the Photographic: African Visual Cultures
DESCRIPTION:There is a rich and growing literature in African Studies that critically assesses both past and present generations of photography and film in Africa. One thread in this body of work looks for ways of centering African photographers and filmmakers as creators of new styles\, looks\, and subjectivities. Another thread looks at the artistic environments that Africans created\, at the ways in which images (both still and filmic) shaped religious sentiments and formed communities. A third thread looks at what is termed vernacular photography in distinct African locations\, focusing on the materiality and mobility of images. A fourth thread looks at processes of archival preservation\, collection and digitization as well as creative acts of recuperation\, that is\, newly curated exhibits of old things—both photographs and films. A final thread explores how Africans engaged\, appropriated\, synthesized\, interpreted filmic and photographic practices from beyond Africa. \n    \nThis workshop will bring together a range of scholars working on these and other contemporary issues in the field of African visual cultures. We are interested in blurring the photographic with the filmic in order to explore the qualities of one as inherent to the other.\n\nPanel sessions are free and open to the public. Visit ii.umich.edu/asc/ahi and click the U-M/WiSER Mellon Workshop section for conference details.

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: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:Workshop / Seminar:No Test Exists!   Why Tests Applied to Individuals Cannot Determine Optimal Cognitive Teams (A Many Model Approach)
DESCRIPTION:**DONATION LINK AT BOTTOM OF PAGE**\n\nMost cognitive work is now done in teams.  That is true in the academy\, the private sector\, and the public sector.  Yet\, with few exceptions\, most hiring is done at the individual level.   Fairness combined with concerns about hiring the \"best\"\, lead many organizations to adopt scoring rules for hiring and admissions.  As seen in the recent lawsuit involving Harvard admissions\,  Harvard combines test scores\, GPA\, personality factors\, and legacy status in coming up with a score for each applicant. Those applicants with the highest scores gain acceptance.\n\nOver the past decade and a half\, a series of theoretical papers by Hong and Page\; Marcolino\, Jiang and Tambe\; Kleinberg and Raghu\; and Bendor and Page have shown either directly or implicitly that on complex tasks\, no such test can exist.  That is\, no test applied to individuals\, will identify the best team.   \n\nThe talk will discuss these models plus several more and then place them on axiomatic foundations\, showing that\, in fact\, for a test to exist\, the problem must be relatively simple. \n                           __________________________________\n          \nThis is a special talk to help kick off the newly established Rick Riolo Memorial Fund.   Giving Blueday and the day of the release of Scott Page's new book The Model Thinker happen to fall on the same day.\n\nDonors to the RRMF may also receive a Free Copy of this new book.  If you donate $100 or more between the hours of 11:30am and 2:00pm tomorrow\, you will receive a free signed copy of book.  Dr. Page has generously purchased advanced copies of the book to help raise support for the new fund.  Thank you to Basic Books for allowing the advanced purchase.\n\nThe Model Thinker: What You Need To Know To Make Data Work For You (2018 Basic Books) is available to purchase on November 27.  \n\nThe Model Thinker explains why we model\, advocates an interdisciplinary approach to modeling and contains accessible descriptions of more than two dozen models.   Prior to its release\, The Model Thinker has been an Amazon top 10 new release in data science\, stochastic modeling\, engineering transportation\, financial engineering\, game theory and both areas of statistics: baseball statistics and biostatistics. It is currently the #1 new release in Business Planning and Forecasting.  The book officially goes on sale on Amazon on Nov. 27th.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Neural Basis for the Metabolic Control of Reproduction\n\nIt is well-established that a minimum amount of stored energy is required for normal pubertal development and for reproductive health in adult life. On the other hand\, excess energy also negatively impacts the reproductive physiology. Elevated adiposity in women aggravates polycystic ovary syndrome\, ovulatory dysfunction and decreases the reproductive capacity. In obese men\, fertility is diminished due to altered activity of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and defective steroidogenesis. The increasing rates of childhood obesity have been correlated with early puberty and its deleterious consequences. Earlier menarche in girls is associated with increased risk of adult obesity\, type 2 Diabetes and breast cancer. Thus\, changing levels of key metabolic cues is an essential signal to the onset of puberty and the adequate function of the reproductive system in adult life. The adipocyte hormone leptin signals the amount of energy stored to the HPG axis. Humans and mice with leptin signaling deficiency are obese and infertile\, remaining in a pre-pubertal state.  However\, the neural basis for the primary reproductive actions of leptin remains unclear. Our laboratory has identified the hypothalamic ventral premammillary nucleus (PMV) as an essential relay of leptin action in reproductive physiology. Our working hypothesis is that the PMV has three distinct neuronal components\, i.e.\, one excitatory\, one inhibitory\, and one synchronizer. The balance among them would determine the responses of the HPG axis to metabolic challenges. In this seminar\, we will discuss the findings supporting our hypothesis. We have used viro- and chemo-genetic in mouse models to determine the roles of glutamate neurotransmission (excitatory component) and dopamine transporter-expressing neurons (inhibitory component) in reproductive control. We will also discuss preliminary and ongoing studies indicating the nitric oxide works as a synchronizer component in the activity of the PMV neuronal network.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Was the Opium War Really Destined to Happen?
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore some of the countercurrents to our dominant understanding of the era leading up to the Opium War of 1839-1842\, focusing in particular on the voices of Chinese scholars who counseled pragmatism in foreign relations\, the continued debates on opium policy in China\, and the powerful political coalition in Great Britain that tried to terminate the war as soon as it was launched. \n    \nStephen R. Platt is Professor of Chinese history at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst\, where he focuses mainly on China's place in the 19th-century world. He holds a 2004 PhD in history from Yale University\, where his dissertation won the university-wide Theron Rockwell Field Prize. He is the author of three books\, the first of which was \"Provincial Patriots\,\" a history of reformers and revolutionaries in Hunan Province. His second book\, \"Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom\,\" was a history of the Taiping Rebellion in global context that was chosen as a Washington Post notable book of 2012 and won the Cundill History Prize. His latest book\, from which the material for his talk is taken\, is a history of the long-term origins of the Opium War titled \"Imperial Twilight.\" \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:Other:On the path to analytical utopia through the resolution of isomers by mass spectrometry
DESCRIPTION:                                                Advances in mass spectrometry over recent years have significantly improved the mass-resolving power of modern instrumentation and the speed with which high mass-accuracy data can be acquired. These advances have underpinned increased confidence in compound identification in complex mixtures and opened up entirely new means of data acquisition including the next generation of data-independent analytical workflows. While powerful\, an inherent limitation in all these analytical approaches lies in the discrimination of isomers which\, by definition\, share the same elemental composition and thus the exact same mass. Conventional approaches to isomer discrimination have relied on chromatographic separations prior to mass analysis and tandem mass spectrometry however\, this has proven a limited tool box for structurally similar isomers (e.g.\, regioisomers) and can significantly extend analysis times. Fortunately\, exciting new developments in ion-mobility and ion-activation technologies are emerging to tackle the challenge of isomer-discrimination by mass spectrometry. This presentation will address the latest developments in these rapidly emerging technology areas in the context of lipidomic analysis with examples illustrating effective discrimination of regio- and even stereo-isomers.                                                                                                                                           \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nStephen Blanksby (Queensland University of Technology)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM/AMO Seminar | Unconventional Thermal Metallic State of Charge Neutral Fermions in Topological Kondo Insulator YbB_{12}
DESCRIPTION:Recent observations of quantum oscillations (QOs) in Kondo insulators SmB_6 [1]\, [2] and YbB_{12} [3] have been a big surprise since they seem to host Fermi surfaces\, which is a defining character of a metal. Though there have been several theoretical proposals to explain this mystery so far\, it is far from settled because of lack of experimental inspections by other means of measurements. In this talk\, I will present low-temperature heat-transport measurements to discuss low energy excitations in the ground state of YbB_{12}. At zero field\, despite the resistivity rho_{xx} being far larger than that of conventional metals\, sizeable T-linear dependent terms in the specific heat C and thermal conductivity K_{xx} in the zero-temperature limit are clearly resolved\, leading to a spectacular violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law: the Lorenz ratio L = K_{xx} rho_{xx}/T is 10^4-10^5 times larger than that expected in conventional metals. These data indicate that YbB_{12} is a charge insulator but a thermal metal\, suggesting the presence of itinerant neutral fermions. Remarkably\, more insulating crystals with larger activation energies exhibit larger amplitudes of the resistive QOs as well as a larger K_{xx}/T (T rightarrow 0)\, in stark contrast to conventional metals. Moreover\, we find that these fermions couple to magnetic field despite their charge neutrality\, whereas no discernible thermal Hall angle is resolved within our resolution up to 12T. Our findings expose novel gapless and highly itinerant\, charge-neutral quasi-particles in this unconventional quantum state.\n\n[1] G. Li et al.\, Science 346\, 1208 (2014).\n[2] B. S.

Her research engages the multiple motivating logics and materializations of religiously inspired international development work. In her ethnographic investigation of a British-based\, global Muslim NGO\, she examines how institutionalized and secular accountability of professionalized development comes to bear on religious decrees and Islamic ethical stances. Having worked with the NGO in England\, Mali\, South Africa\, and the Netherlands\, she explores the complicated striving through which it tries to create a cohesive organizational identity that encompasses the diversity of the places\, people\, and things with which it engages.

SUMMARY:Other:Main-Group Metallomimetics: Strategies for Metal-Free Catalysis and Small-Molecule Activation 
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                                        The importance of transition metals (TMs) in modern catalysis cannot be overstated. TM-based catalysts enable processes that are of tremendous human and economic importance\; they have innumerable applications in many industrial sectors. However\, the toxicity\, price and natural scarcity of many elements that are used in TM catalysis fuels an interest for the development of metal-free catalysts based on the main-group elements. However\, contrary to many catalytically-active TM-complexes\, classical main-group compounds do not possess the combination of empty and filled orbitals that is crucial for the complex electronic processes involved in the elemental steps of catalytic cycles. The development of catalysts based on the p-block elements thus requires the design and application of unique strategies. In this talk\, I will present two approaches for the metallomimetic application of boron compounds to small-molecule activation\, to reduction processes\, and to organic functionalization reactions. I will discuss systems that involve the combination of single and multiple active sites in order to mimic the electronic environment of TM complexes. Similarities and differences in the reactivity of main-group compounds and TM complexes will also be highlighted.                                                                                                                                                                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nMarc-Andre Legare\, PhD (Universitat Wurzburg)

SUMMARY:Performance:Reading of “canned meat” (“dosenfleisch”)
DESCRIPTION:Reading by playwright in German\nEnglish translation by Neil Blackadder\nPerformed by students and faculty of the School of Music\, Theatre\, & Dance: Kris Danford\, Liam Loomer\, Sarah Prendergast\, Malcolm Tulip\n \n\"And so now here we are lying on this rest area like a whale\, a stranded whale. The flesh starts to rot when we can’t keep driving. As long as you’re moving\, you don’t decay.\"\n\nA truck driver has to stop at a motorway service area due to a disastrous accident. Frustrated by the forced standstill\, he watches the nightly events. An insurance inspector\, obsessed with any traffic accidents\, investigates the so-called death curve at the service area. But there is as well Beate\, the operator of the rest stop\, who shares a dark secret with Jayne\, an auto-aggressive television actress addicted to high-speed.\n\nFerdinand Schmalz’s ‘canned meat’ is a metaphor for the paradox of mobility in times of neoliberalism. One can get everywhere\, but never to one self – thus\, the only possibility left to achieve authenticity is the life-threatening collision.\n\nFerdinand Schmalz is an Austrian author and playwright. His works include “am beispiel der butter\,” “dosenfleisch\,” “herzerlfresser\,” and “jedermann (stirbt).” His plays are staged at the leading theatres in Germany\, Switzerland\, and Austria\, e.g. Deutsches Theater\, Burgtheater Wien\, Schauspiel Leipzig\, Schauspielhaus Zürich. He won several awards for his writing\, beyond others the Retzhofer Dramapreis (2013)\, the Ingeborg Bachmann Preis (2017)\, and the Ludwig-Mülheims-Theaterpreis (2018). For “dosenfleisch” he was nominated for the most prestigious drama award in the German-speaking countries\, the Mülheimer Dramatikerpreis. Furthermore\, “dosenfleisch” was invited to the Autorentheatertage in Berlin.\n\nThe reading is sponsored by the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. These events are free and open to the public. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate\, please contact 734-764-8018 or germandept@umich.edu at least one week in advance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Writer to Writer w/ Heather Ann Thompson
DESCRIPTION:Sweetland Center for Writing's Writer to Writer series lets you hear directly from University of Michigan professors about their challenges\, processes\, and expectations as writers and also as readers of student writing. Each semester\, Writer to Writer pairs one esteemed University professor with a Sweetland faculty member for a conversation about writing. \n\nThis month Writer to Writer welcomes Heather Ann Thompson. Dr. Heather Ann Thompson is a historian at the University of Michigan in the Department of Afro-American and African Studies\, the Department of History\, and the Residential College. She is the Pulitzer Prize and Bancroft Prize-winning author of Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and its Legacy (2016). Blood in the Water received six additional book awards and landed on over 20 best of 2016  book lists including that of the New York Times. \n\nThompson is also a public intellectual who writes regularly on the history of policing\, mass incarceration and the current criminal justice system for The New York Times\, Newsweek\, Time\, The Washington Post\, Rolling Stone\, The Atlantic\, and many other national publications. \n\nThis year\, Thompson was awarded a Bearing Witness Writing Fellowship from the Art for Justice fund of the Ford Foundation. Her next book is on the MOVE bombing of 1985.\n\nWriter to Writer takes place at the Literati bookstore (124 E. Washington) on Tuesday\, November 27th from 7-8pm and is also broadcast live on WCBN radio (88.3FM). These conversations offer students a rare glimpse into the writing that professors do outside the classroom. You can hear instructors from various disciplines describe how they handle the same challenges student writers face\, from finding a thesis to managing deadlines. Professors will also discuss what they want from student writers in their courses\, and will take questions put forth by students and by other members of the University community. If there's anything you've ever wanted to ask a professor about writing\, Writer to Writer gives you the chance.

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:Conference / Symposium:ASC/WiSER Mellon Workshop 2018. The Filmic and the Photographic: African Visual Cultures
DESCRIPTION:There is a rich and growing literature in African Studies that critically assesses both past and present generations of photography and film in Africa. One thread in this body of work looks for ways of centering African photographers and filmmakers as creators of new styles\, looks\, and subjectivities. Another thread looks at the artistic environments that Africans created\, at the ways in which images (both still and filmic) shaped religious sentiments and formed communities. A third thread looks at what is termed vernacular photography in distinct African locations\, focusing on the materiality and mobility of images. A fourth thread looks at processes of archival preservation\, collection and digitization as well as creative acts of recuperation\, that is\, newly curated exhibits of old things—both photographs and films. A final thread explores how Africans engaged\, appropriated\, synthesized\, interpreted filmic and photographic practices from beyond Africa. \n    \nThis workshop will bring together a range of scholars working on these and other contemporary issues in the field of African visual cultures. We are interested in blurring the photographic with the filmic in order to explore the qualities of one as inherent to the other.\n\nPanel sessions are free and open to the public. Visit ii.umich.edu/asc/ahi and click the U-M/WiSER Mellon Workshop section for conference details.

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:Innovations in Ornament
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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag | Path Integrals\, Finite Temperature\, and Lattices
DESCRIPTION:Surprisingly\, partition functions for some model systems in statistical mechanics are invariant under formally reflecting the sign of temperature\, T: +T -> -T. We call this T-reflection invariance. Clearly\, partition functions for generic statistical systems cannot be invariant under T-reflection. However\, in this talk we focus on finite-temperature path integrals and give a general picture for why finite-temperature path integrals in quantum field theory *should* behave well under T-reflection. We probe this general picture in the context of the harmonic oscillators (in one-dimension) and in conformal field theories on the two-torus (in two-dimensions) and in the mathematics of modular forms. We find that the relevant path integrals are often invariant only up to overall T-independent phases\, which could be naturally interpreted as new anomalies under large coordinate transforms.

SUMMARY:Other:The Best of Times and the Worst of Times? How Our Social Relationships Can Help and Harm Our Health
DESCRIPTION:Humans are fundamentally social beings. Our connections with others offer opportunities for support and nurturance but can also be potent sources of stress and pain. In this talk\, I will describe my research examining the psychological and biological mechanisms that connect negative interpersonal experiences to our physical health. First\, using evidence from disease models of asthma and the common cold\, I will show how potent interpersonal stressful events occurring during the first two decades of life contribute to both nearer-term and longer-term physical health outcomes. Specifically\, I will focus on experiences of social rejection and family acrimony\, emphasizing the role the immune system plays in carrying these negative experiences over time to affect health. Next\, I will present work showing that receiving a hug may protect against the harmful psychological consequences of negative interpersonal experiences in daily life. I will conclude by discussing future research plans.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:How to Count like an Egyptian
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE:  This event was originally scheduled to begin on October 31\, 2018\, but has been moved to begin on November 28.  The time and place remain unchanged.\n\nAll cultures\, past and present\, have used mathematics to make sense of their lives. In this course we will explore some of the ways that different cultures have used mathematics for counting\, trading\, measuring\, keeping track of time\, scheduling religious practices\, recreation\, passing on cultural traditions\, and design. This course requires no expertise in mathematics but should interest those who are curious about other cultures and how they lived their lives. The course will be fun and lively with lots of hands-on activities. \n\nLecturer Joan Cohen Jones is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at EMU\, where she taught mathematics for teachers. She is interested in the history of mathematics\, especially how different cultures have used mathematical ideas throughout history\, both formally and informally.  \n\nThis study group for those 50 and over will meet on Wednesdays\, 1-3\, from November 28 through December 12.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture: The Armenian Cause\, Statehood\, and Democracy: Reflections on Levon Ter-Petrossian’s Writings
DESCRIPTION:Armenia has experienced a series of transformative events since the late 1980s – the Karabagh movement\, independence\, war\, and political as well as economic transitions. These events have attracted considerable scholarly and journalistic attention. But Armenia has undergone significant ideological shifts as a nation-state which have attracted less attention. Shortly after the birth of the Karabagh Movement\, some of the prized assumptions of Armenian nationalism and politics came under assault. The ideology of the Armenian Cause in particular\, despite slogans about class politics and socialist internationalism\, has been embraced even by Armenian Communists since the end of WWII. These ideologies have been the subject of hitherto unprecedented intellectual scrutiny. From the very early years of independence a parallel conversation involving Armenia’s political class has debated competing visions of a liberal vs. a “national” state. These debates continue to this day. The recent publication of Levon Ter-Petrossian’s speeches\, articles\, and interviews now available to an English-speaking audience will be deployed to revisit these debates\, looking at them through the eyes of one of its most important actors\, the first President of Armenia (1991-98). \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us (tumanyan@umich.edu) at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Davis\, Markert\, and Nickerson Academic Freedom Lecture
DESCRIPTION:\"Academic Freedom\, New Politics\, Old School Censorship\, and Meaningful Constitutional Review\"\n\nNichol will explore the challenge of assuring intellectual liberty and academic freedom from outside political interference in flagship public universities. He will focus\, particularly\, on legislative and administrative suppression and penalization of research and publication which is critical of public policies embraced by governmental authorities. He will address both internal and external pressures on free expression and academic independence in state universities. He will argue\, as well\, that as freedom of speech\, more broadly\, is being deployed\, or weaponized\, for economic ideological purposes\, it is being weakened as an essential component of democratic government.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department Colloquia | Keith Riles Collegiate Professorship Lecture
DESCRIPTION:A century ago Albert Einstein realized that his newly created General Theory of Relativity implied that gravity propagates like light. These gravitational waves are minute disturbances of space itself\, which can arise from distant and massive but compact bodies\, such as black holes and neutron stars. Now that these ghostly waves have been detected by the LIGO and Virgo interferometers\, physicists and astronomers are confirming Einstein's predictions (as usual)\, while probing some of the most exotic objects in the Universe. Insights from discoveries made so far will be presented\, along with the potential  for new discoveries that will make gravitational waves critical to the the next century of astronomy and cosmology.\n\nThe lecture will be in the Rackham Amphitheatre on the 4th floor.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 Seminar: Royce Francis\, George Washington University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Lifeline infrastructure systems have always been crucial to the social\, economic\, and military security of societies. Because lifeline systems are critical to societal coherence and economic operations\, assessing and mitigating risks to lifeline system operations is crucial. However\, attention has shifted from risk assessment to resilience assessment due to the exceptionally large adaptation and mitigation needs implied by the geographic and temporal scope of natural and man-made hazards. In resilience assessment\, most research efforts have focused on defining and measuring resilience quantitatively. However\, could it be possible that infrastructure resilience is driven by the properties of the networks of human relationships\, operating protocols\, evolving objectives and information sharing processes within infrastructure systems? In response to this question\, the goal of this talk is to introduce the concept of protocol-driven resilience. Protocol-driven resilience refers to the way in which these networks interact to support system- level macro-cognitive functions and produce resilient system behavior. In this talk\, I describe preliminary results from ongoing research we are conducting in order to investigate how the concept of protocol-driven resilience enhances our understanding of lifeline infrastructure system resilience.\n\nBio: Dr. Royce Francis is an associate professor in the Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering. His work is at the intersection of the application of statistical methods to infrastructure and environmental risk problems\, decision analytic research\, and policy-focused research. Dr. Francis has conducted sponsored research in the areas of drinking water system asset management\, decision structuring for low impact development investments\, and resilience analysis of infrastructure systems. Dr. Francis’s research has been sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF)\, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)\, the DC Water Resources Research Institute [a United States Geological Survey sponsored Institute]\, and DC Water.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Macroeconomics: A Unified Model of International Business Cycles and Trade
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nWe present a general\, competitive open economy business cycles model with cap-ital accumulation\, trade in intermediate goods\, production externalities in the inter-mediate and final goods sectors\, and iceberg trade costs. Our main theoretical result shows that under appropriate parameter restrictions this model is isomorphic in terms of aggregate equilibrium predictions to dynamic versions of workhorse quantitative models of international trade: Eaton-Kortum\, Krugman\, and Melitz. The parameter restrictions apply on the overall scale of externalities\, the split of externalities between factors of production\, and the identity of sectors with externalities. Our quantitative exercise assesses whether various restricted versions of the general model — in forms they are typically considered in the literature — are able to resolve well-known aggre-gate empirical puzzles in the international business cycles literature. Our theoretical result on isomorphism between models provides insights on why dynamic versions of international trade models fail to resolve these puzzles in so many instances. We then additionally explore in what directions they need to be amended to provide a better fit with the data. We show that an essential feature is negative capital exter-nalities in intermediate goods production. We thus provide a unified theoretical and quantitative treatment of the international business cycles and trade literatures in a general dynamic framework.\n\nKey words: International business cycles\; Dynamic trade models\; Heterogeneous firms\; Production externalities\; Monopolistic competition\; Export costs\; Entry costs

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Author's Forum Presents: \"A Rich Brew: How Cafes Created Modern Jewish Culture\,\" A Conversation with Shachar Pinsker and Samer Ali
DESCRIPTION:Shachar Pinsker (professor\, Judaic studies and Middle East studies) and Samer Ali (associate professor\, Arabic language and literature) discuss Pinsker's new book\, \"A Rich Brew: How Cafes Created Modern Jewish Culture\,\" followed by Q & A.\n\nAbout the book:\nUnlike the synagogue\, the house of study\, the community center\, or the Jewish deli\, the café is rarely considered a Jewish space. Yet\, coffeehouses profoundly influenced the creation of modern Jewish culture from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. With roots stemming from the Ottoman Empire\, the coffeehouse and its drinks gained increasing popularity in Europe. The “otherness\,” and the mix of the national and transnational characteristics of the coffeehouse perhaps explains why many of these cafés were owned by Jews\, why Jews became their most devoted habitués\, and how cafés acquired associations with Jewishness.  Examining the convergence of cafés\, their urban milieu\, and Jewish creativity\, Shachar M. Pinsker argues that cafés anchored a silk road of modern Jewish culture. He uncovers a network of interconnected cafés that were central to the modern Jewish experience in a time of migration and urbanization\, from Odessa\, Warsaw\, Vienna\, and Berlin to New York City and Tel Aviv. A Rich Brew explores the Jewish culture created in these social spaces\, drawing on a vivid collection of newspaper articles\, memoirs\, archival documents\, photographs\, caricatures\, and artwork\, as well as stories\, novels\, and poems in many languages set in cafés.   Pinsker shows how Jewish modernity was born in the café\, nourished\, and sent out into the world by way of print\, politics\, literature\, art\, and theater. What was experienced and created in the space of the coffeehouse touched thousands who read\, saw\, and imbibed a modern culture that redefined what it meant to be a Jew in the world.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human + Machine: Reimagining Work in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Paul Daugherty (BSE Computer Engineering\, 1986) is co-author of Human + Machine: Reimagining Work in the Age of Artificial Intelligence\, a seminal book providing a much-needed management playbook for the business of AI\, recently published by Harvard Press.\n\nIn Human + Machine\, Daugherty and H. James Wilson show that the essence of the AI paradigm shift is the transformation of all business processes within an organization — whether related to breakthrough innovation\, everyday customer service\, or personal productivity habits. As humans and smart machines collaborate ever more closely\, work processes become more fluid and adaptive\, enabling companies to change them on the fly — or to completely reimagine them. AI is changing all the rules of how companies operate. \n\nPaul Daugherty is Chief Technology & Innovation Officer at Accenture\, where he oversees overall technology strategy\, research and development\, and ecosystem relationships\, and is responsible for developing Accenture’s business in emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence\, Cloud Computing\, and Blockchain.

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: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:Lecture / Discussion:Towards Positive Synergy of Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:My lab uses neuroscience to drive artificial intelligence (AI) and in turn uses AI to study the human brain. We use models of computer vision to investigate biological vision. Some progress includes \"encoding models\" to predict brain responses to thousands of web images and \"decoding models\" to reconstruct and categorize natural videos from functional brain scans. We are now extending similar strategies to natural language processing and brain-inspired robotics. We also use neuroscience knowledge to advance computer vision. Recent progress includes the  so-called predictive coding network\, capable of running bottom-up and top-down computation similar to the bi-directional neural information processing in the brain. Unlike the state-of-the-art feedforward-only convolutional neural networks\, the predictive coding network can unfold itself in time to generate an arbitrarily deep neural network\, which learns faster and performs better despite its much shallower architecture and many fewer parameters. In this talk\, I will share our recent work on combining neural imaging\, recording\, modeling\, and machine learning\, and discuss their potential applications for understanding mental functions and disorders.\n\nZhongming Liu\, Ph.D.\, is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LOOKING BEYOND COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM: A NEW IMMIGRATION POLITICS
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Chih Lin is Associate Professor of Public Policy in Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. She was co-principal investigator on the Detroit Arab American Study\, a landmark public opinion survey of Arab Americans in Detroit. She also works on immigration policy\, bias reduction\, and prison rehabilitation. She received her BA in history from Princeton University and her PhD in political science from the University of Chicago.\n\nComprehensive Immigration reform” balancing increased legal immigration with extensive border and workplace enforcement\, has been a goal shared by both Democratic and Republican presidents. But Congress has been unable to pass such a bill for two decades. Instead\, immigration advocates should champion reform that other countries have successfully implemented: based on state and regional economic needs\, which can win support from state-level political coalitions. Such proposals would tie immigration to economic impact\, eliminating a “shadow system of residency that currently exists outside the law.”\n\nThis is the fifth in a series of six weekly lectures. The subject is immigration. The next lecture will be on December 6. The title is REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT IN WASHTENAW COUNTY.

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:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Noon Lecture Series | Modern Temple Art as “Public” Art
DESCRIPTION:Historical Buddhist temples in twentieth and twenty-first century Japan\, while often discussed in their association with traditions\, can be recontextualized as socio-political and cultural spaces endowed with distinctively modern public natures. This presentation will examine the pictorial art (often paintings) created to adorn these spaces as a specific type of public art by investigating the patronage\, production and reception of two groups of such paintings at Tōji (1934) and Saihōji (1969) by Dōmoto Inshō (1891-1975)\, a pioneer artist committed to the genre\, who paved the way for this art form to achieve its current popularity in Japan.\n\nYasuko Tsuchikane holds a PhD in Japanese art history from Columbia University and specializes in the 20th century. She teaches at The Cooper Union and at Waseda University in Tokyo. Her current research questions how various values authorize the legitimacy of art works across media in different social spaces.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to bkinzer@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MMP Lecture: The Argument from Fitting Anger for Retributivism
DESCRIPTION:Some philosophers deny that anger is ever fitting\, while others consider vicious\, self-destructive\, or always wrong to act upon. We will first argue that the best gloss of anger takes it to be directed at offenses\, understood as transgressive actions that provide reason to retaliate (in the first-person case) or to punish (in the third-person case). Call such backward-looking considerations\, about what people do and why they do it\, retributive reasons. If anger is ever fitting\, then retributive reasons exist\; and anger\, like other natural emotions\, is sometimes fitting. This result itself is significant\, because it belies the claims of those who endorse the so-called utilitarian theory of punishment\, and it illustrates the significance of a sentimental value: the anger-worthy. But it also forms the basis of our sentimentalist defense of retributivism\, which constitutes an all-things-considered justification of punishment relying partly on retributive reasons.

SUMMARY:Presentation:EHAP Speaker Series:  The Neurobiology and Evolution of the Pair Bond
DESCRIPTION:Love is one of humanity’s most powerful emotions\, inspiring some of the greatest art\, literature and conquests of all time.  While aspects of love are surely unique to our species\, human romantic relationships are displays of a mating system characterized by pair bonding\, likely built on ancient foundational neural mechanisms governing individual recognition\, social reward\, territorial behavior and maternal nurturing. Dr. Young will discuss his work on monogamous prairie voles that provide insights into neural mechanisms and evolution of pair bonding\, and the implications for the neurobiology of Love.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE 585 Graduate Seminar Series  - Phononics: Structural Dynamics of Materials and Pushing the Boundaries of Physical Response
DESCRIPTION:Phononics is an emerging field that seeks to elucidate the nature of intrinsic mechanical motion in both conventional and artificially structured materials\, and use this knowledge to extend the boundaries of physical response at either the material or structural/device level or both. The field targets primarily acoustic\, elastic\, and/or thermal properties and usually involves the investigation and utilization of complex wave mechanisms encompassing one or more of a diverse range of phenomena such as dispersion\, resonances\, dissipation\, and nonlinear interactions. The field bridges multiple disciplines across applied physics and engineering\, and spans multiple scales reaching the atomic scale where a rigorous definition of phonons resides–quanta of lattice vibrations.\n\nThe Phononics Laboratory at Smead Aerospace\, University of Colorado Boulder has played a leading role in both the founding of institutions to help define\, form\, and propel the field forward\, and the discovery and development of novel research concepts at the heart of phonon science and engineering. This talk will review two new paradigms developed at the Phononics Laboratory: passive flow stabilization by subsurface phonons (a concept jointly established with Sedat Biringen) and resonant thermal transport in nanophononic metamaterials. The former promises to significantly reduce drag along the surfaces of airplanes and ships\, and the latter is poised to double the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric devices.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\nMahmoud I. Hussein is an Associate Professor and the Alvah and Harriet Hovlid Professor in the Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences\, and is a faculty affiliate in the Department of Applied Mathematics\, at the University of Colorado Boulder. He is the director of the Pre-Engineering Program at the College of Engineering and Applied Science\, and the director of the Phononics Laboratory. He received a BS degree from the American University in Cairo and MS degrees from Imperial College\, London and the University of Michigan‒Ann Arbor. He earned his PhD from the University of Michigan in 2004\, and completed postdoctoral research at the University of Cambridge from 2005-2007. Dr. Hussein received a DARPA Young Faculty Award in 2011\, an NSF CAREER award in 2013\, and in 2017 was honored with a Provost’s Faculty Achievement Award for Tenured Faculty at CU Boulder. He is a Fellow of ASME and an associate editor for the ASME Journal of Vibration and Acoustics. In addition\, he is the founding vice president of the International Phononics Society and has co-established the Phononics 20xx conference series which is widely viewed as the world’s premier event in the emerging field of phononics

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development Seminar\, Ameet Morjaria\, Kellog
DESCRIPTION:Business transactions often occur in the absence of enforceable contracts. To sustain trade in such cases\, parties rely on relational contracts (RC). Introducing competition might change exit options\, thus undermining the ability to sustain RC. To examine the impact of competition on procurement of inputs\, we exploit the prevalence of RC between processing mills and farmers in Rwanda’s coffee sector. We implement a census of all mills and farmers to measure the features of the RC binding them. We then develop a RC model to explore the incentive problems between mills and farmers. The model is used to predict how competition affects RC\, the mill’s performance\, and farmer outcomes. Since the location of mills is endogenous\, an engineering model is estimated for the optimal placement of mills to instrument for competition in each locality. We find that competition between mills undermines RC by increasing the mill’s processing costs\, lowering the mill’s capacity utilization and reducing the quality of coffee cherries received by the mill. Competition constrains the farmer’s credit and input choices and reduces the farmer’s wellbeing. The findings highlight that in weak contracting settings\, the value RC generates can be hampered by competition. The evidence provides a rationale for policies commonly observed historically across developing countries\, such as zoning regulations and monopsony licensing\, and emphasizes the importance of promoting contractual enforcement in agricultural value chains in order to reap the benefits of competition.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: The evolution of polymorphic hybrid male sterility in house mice
DESCRIPTION:Reproductive barriers are often thought of as fixed between species\, yet recently diverged species often have polymorphic reproductive incompatibilities. This lecture will focus on the genetic basis of variable hybrid male sterility in house mice. I will focus on two mechanisms— transmission ratio distortion of hybrid incompatibilities and the regulatory disruption of the X chromosome during spermatogenesis. I will also discuss the implications of this variation on gene flow in the house mouse hybrid zone\, and the maintenance of species boundaries.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/SifCbvHVnpI

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professor Angela Dillard\, Richard A. Meisler Collegiate Professorship in Afroamerican & African Studies and in the Residential College\, Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:What happens when history and ideology are at odds? And how are the stakes higher when the history in question has become part of our public culture – celebrated through commemorations\, concretized in public monuments and statuary\, and taught in textbooks? In exploring the often-unacknowledged intersections\, parallels and alliances between the post-WWII civil rights movement and the rise of the New Right\, my work centers on “civil rights conservatives”: African-American figures\, such as James H. Meredith\, who were critical of the mainstream of the movement from a right-of-center perspective. Meredith\, famous for integrating the University of Mississippi\, is a major civil rights icon who has struggled to distance himself from his own political legacy\, even coming to denounce integration as a \"con job.\" This irony\, I argue\, is deeply intertwined with modes of public history – “monumental history” – that do not allow for ideological complexity\, and that distort as much as they clarify.

SUMMARY:Other:Spectroscopic characterization of unique iron and copper active sites in biology
DESCRIPTION:                                                Iron and copper ions are ubiquitous in nature and serve a variety of important biological functions. My presentation will focus on the characterization of (1) the first biologically-relevant oxoiron(V) model complex and (2) a Cu/O2 intermediate in the mononuclear copper enzyme Formylglycine-Generating Enzyme (FGE). In both cases\, we have been able to utilize spectroscopic insight to characterize novel\, fleeting intermediates and to understand how they fit into proposed reaction mechanisms.\n\n(1)	Oxoiron(V) species are fleeting intermediates that are postulated to be involved in some of the most difficult oxidative transformations in biology. Using a biomimetic analog\, we employed resonance Raman\, electron paramagnetic resonance\, and Mössbauer spectroscopies in conjunction with calibrated DFT computations to elucidate key structural and electronic properties. We were able to attribute its highly anisotropic hyperfine parameters and unusual spectroscopic features to an iron(V) complex with an axial oxo ligand. Our analysis defines spectroscopic parameters characteristic of perferryl intermediates in biology.\n\n(2)	Apart from its importance for sulfatase activity\, FGE also serves as a powerful tool for protein engineering because of its ability to introduce aldehyde functional groups into recombinant proteins. Together with my collaborators\, we have used high-energy X-ray techniques to spectroscopically define the unique copper active site in the absence and presence of its functional peptide substrate. Furthermore\, we now have evidence for key intermediates along the O2-reaction pathway. With this crucial insight in hand\, we have a more complete understanding of how FGE utilizes its unique mononuclear copper active site to activate O2\, initiate reaction with substrate\, and generate the Cα-formylglycine product.                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nKatlyn Meier\, PhD.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Lina Iris Viktor: Materia Prima
DESCRIPTION:Lina Iris Viktor is a British-Liberian conceptual artist whose work centers around the age-old practice of gilding with 24-karat gold to call into question the nature of time and being. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach\, Viktor weaves together many disparate materials\, uniting contemporary and ancient modes of making including photography\, performance\, installation\, and abstract painting. In recent years she has focused on creating increasingly dark canvases embedded with “layers of light” in the form of symbols and intricate patterns that Viktor calls “light-works.” According to the artist: “My personal mandate has always been to reveal that which is hidden. To reflect upon diverse histories — many of which have been grossly misrepresented or erased — and bring them to light. I want to offer a hopeful projection of a future I would like to see.” Viktor has exhibited extensively in the United States and internationally\, including at the Harvard Art Museums and the Cooper Gallery at Harvard University and the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art in Atlanta\, and has a solo exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Art (opening in October 2018). Additionally\, Viktor has engaged in critical talks and panels at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in Washington\, D.C.\, New York University\, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London\, and King’s College in London.\n\nSupported by University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Breaking the Barriers of Voluntourism--Effective & Sustainable Teaching Practices Abroad
DESCRIPTION:Are you or your student group teaching English or volunteering abroad?\nThe Quito Project is hosting a free educational workshop that is open to any student planning to teach English or volunteer abroad. This workshop is part one of a two part series to tackle the issues of “voluntourist” behaviors which tend to decay international community partnerships over time.\nThis workshop provides strategies for fulfilling a basic component of teaching:  giving clear instructions. Largely overlooked and yet frequently problematic\, giving clear instructions is critical for classroom management and student learning. Without clear instructions\, even the most developed lesson plan will fall apart. When students don’t know what to do\, they’ll find something to do. Add in a second language\, and the process is even more complicated. Thus\, this workshop introduces you to one of the fundamental steps to getting your class\, your activities\, and most importantly\, your students’ learning\, off to a successful start!\nIn addition\, participants will gain access to other on-campus resources that will help them not only prepare\, but also reflect on their volunteer experiences abroad in order to maximize their impact while strengthening their personal goals and development.\nFree dinner will be provided for all participants.You may register to attend our workshop through this link: bit.ly/effective-teaching.You can also find our Facebook event here.For more information or if you have any questions please email: thequitoproject@gmail.com

Thus\, this workshop introduces you to one of the fundamental steps to getting your class\, your activities\, and most importantly\, your students’ learning\, off to a successful start!\n\nIn addition\, participants will gain access to other on-campus resources that will help them not only prepare\, but also reflect on their volunteer experiences abroad in order to maximize their impact while strengthening their personal goals and development.\n\nFeaturing workshop speaker Martha Epperson\, Doctoral Student in Teacher and Teaching Education at the University of Michigan School of Education\n\nFree dinner will be provided for all participants.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Inner-City Blues: African Americans\, Psychiatry\, and the Post-World War II \"Urban Crisis\"
DESCRIPTION:Psychiatrists have had a long history of drawing a tight correlation between black mental illness and city life. In the late nineteenth century\, the medical profession attributed rising rates of insanity among African Americans to their emancipation and migration to urban areas. In the 1960s and 1970s\, the National Institute of Mental Health became preoccupied with the psychological dimensions of the “urban crisis.” This talk will explore the efforts by the NIMH\, as well as grassroots activists\, to address the mental health needs of inner city residents in the postwar period. In doing so\, it will encourage a rethinking of the conventional wisdom about the relationship between African Americans and psychiatry.\n\nMartin Summers is associate professor of history and African and African Disapora Studies at Boston College\, where he regularly teaches courses on post-1865 US and African American history\; gender and sexuality in African-American history\; and medicine and public health in the African diaspora. Summers’s current research project is a social and cultural history of medicine that focuses on African-American patients at St. Elizabeths Hospital\, a federal mental institution in Washington\, DC. The project uses the hospital as a case study in which to explore the intersections of the historical process of racial formation\, medical and cultural understandings of insanity\, the exercise of institutional power\, and individual and collective agency. Summers’s research has been supported by the Ford Foundation\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study\, and the National Humanities Center.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

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:Film Screening:International Movie Night Series: \"In a Better World\"
DESCRIPTION:Let’s watch a movie together! A movie that tells a story that you have never heard…\n\n“In a Better World”\n\nAnton is a doctor who commutes between his home in an idyllic town in Denmark\, and his work at an African refugee camp. In these two very different worlds\, he and his family are faced with conflicts that lead them to difficult choices between revenge and forgiveness. Anton and his wife Marianne\, who have two young sons\, are separated and struggling with the possibility of divorce. Their older\, ten-year-old son Elias is being bullied at school\, until he is defended by Christian\, a new boy who has just moved from London with his father\, Claus. Christian’s mother recently lost her battle with cancer\, and Christian is greatly troubled by her death. Elias and Christian quickly form a strong bond\, but when Christian involves Elias in a dangerous act of revenge with potentially tragic consequences\, their friendship is tested and lives are put in danger. Ultimately\, it is their parents who are left to help them come to terms with the complexity of human emotions\, pain and empathy. – Rotten Tomatoes\n\n*This event is funded by Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion and Office of Student Affairs.\n\n**Dinner will be served.
