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

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well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic.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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520882@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180910T125158 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181130T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181130T120000 SUMMARY:Other:Write-Togethers (for grad students) DESCRIPTION:Write-together sessions provide structure\, space\, and time for graduate writers working on papers\, theses\, and dissertations.

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.

My group is interested in harnessing the biosynthetic potential of microbes\, not only as factories for the production of raw materials\, but as fabrication plants that can orchestrate the assembly of complex functional materials. We call this approach “biologically fabricated materials”\, a process whose goal is to genetically program microbes to assemble materials from protein-based building blocks without the need for time consuming and expensive purification protocols or specialized equipment. Accordingly\, we have developed Biofilm Integrated Nanofiber Display (BIND)\, which relies on the biologically directed assembly of biofilm matrix proteins of the curli system in E. coli. We demonstrate that bacterial cells can be programmed to synthesize a range of functional materials with straightforward genetic engineering techniques. The resulting materials are highly customizable and easy to fabricate\, and we are investigating their use for practical uses ranging from bioremediation to engineered therapeutic probiotics.

Her work is guided by improvisation\, environmental psychology\, walking\, identity/memory\, and connection to place\; all enriched through drawing\, film\, and poetry. She received her BFA from Texas Christian University and MFA from the University of Michigan. \n\nEfrén Cruz is an engineer doing research in artificial intelligence and its relationship to intelligent systems. Cruz’s recent work focuses on how automating decision-making in human communities reproduces previous biases of society\, and how to enforce the creation and implementation of fair algorithms. Cruz’s research on systems that exhibit intelligence and information diffusion can be translated to a dance and improvisation setting\, in which each dancer is an agent acting according to local rules and limited knowledge\, and from where a bigger pattern emerges. Cruz started\, together with Solórzano\, the “Imprudent Cartography of Thought” project\, in which borders are analyzed in terms of their abstract definition and corporeal/choreographic representation. Hence\, economic inequalities\, geopolitical boundaries\, cultural biases\, and psychological separation are brought together under topological terms\, and analyzed according to the maps (ideological\, epistemological\, etc.) built on top of these landscapes. Cruz obtained a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2017.\n\n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.\n\nThis event supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.

In the context of chronic disease management\, Markov decision processes (MDPs) have been used to optimize the delivery of medical interventions in a way that balances the immediate harms and costs with the uncertain future health benefits associated with these interventions. Unfortunately\, treatment recommendations that result from MDPs can depend heavily on the model of the chronic disease\, and there are often multiple plausible models due to conflicting data sources or differing opinions among medical experts. To address this problem\, we introduce a new framework in which a decision-maker can consider multiple models of the MDP’s ambiguous parameters and seeks to find a strategy that maximizes the weighted performance with respect to each of these models of the MDP. We establish connections to other models in the stochastic optimization literature\, derive complexity results\, and establish solution methods for solving these problems. We illustrate our approach in the context of preventative treatment for cardiovascular disease\, and end with a discussion of opportunities for future work by extending to other preferences towards ambiguity and other chronic diseases.

We theorize that organizations in the early stages of a new market can actively shape how investors over time come to value firms in that space. Using internet initial public offerings from 1997 to 2012\, we show that organizations argued for and eventually altered the way the stock market now values internet firms. This emergence process unfolds over two stages. First\, the earliest organizations in the market introduce and legitimate a new understanding of value\, thus establishing a shared basis of intelligibility with investors. Second\, once this new understanding is established\, organizations that subsequently enter the market are able to use new valuation metrics that were previously deemed nonsensical. Moreover\, supplementary analyses suggest that high levels of excitement surrounding the new market may help new ways of valuing get off the ground more quickly. This study offers insight into how new understandings of value and their associated valuation metrics can emerge over time and lays the groundwork for future research on the social origins of valuation in financial markets.

Because comics stage time as space\, examining graphic temporalities help expand our view of how dementia affects one’s orientation to normative constructions of time. \n\nBoth Dana Walrath’s Aliceheimer’s: Alzheimer’s Through the Looking Glass (2016) and Stuart Campbell’s webcomic These Memories Won’t Last (2015) exploit the affordances of graphic narrative’s multimodal ability to visually layer stories and disrupt time\, enabling the examination and reframing of cultural fears and stigmas surrounding aging and memory impairment. They each explore a family member’s experience with dementia as one that requires the recognition of alternate realities and a more flexible approach to expectations placed on their sense of past\, present\, and future. The stakes of visualizing dementia’s reorientations to time and history take on particular significance in these works as Aliceheimer’s and These Memories also navigate the telling of stories regarding the Armenian Genocide and World War II\, respectively. For Walrath and Campbell\, putting dementia into graphic form is a heuristic for processing and making accessible histories of trauma\, furthering possibilities of artistic expression\, and crafting spaces for healing.\n\nTo RSVP and request a copy of Crystal's paper please email Elise Nagy (ecnagy@umich.edu) UID:57929-14375313@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Disability,Graduate Students,Visual Arts,Workshop LOCATION:Haven Hall - 5670 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181129T123636 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181130T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181130T150000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Friday Museums Seminar - A life on the move: Unraveling the mysterious evolution of fish migration DESCRIPTION:Migration is a widespread phenomenon among animals and has a profound influence on the evolution of species traits. Diadromous fishes are an extreme example of migration\, moving between marine and freshwaters\, often traveling thousands of kilometers for feeding and reproduction. Diadromous fishes include iconic species such as salmon\, eels\, shad\, lamprey and sturgeon\, yet the origins and evolutionary consequences of diadromy remain elusive. In this talk I will explore the evolution of diadromy spanning population to phylogenetic scales. I will evaluate a widely accepted hypothesis that links the origins of diadromy with productivity by integrating phylogenetic\, biogeographic and global productivity data. Using phylogenetic comparative methods I will investigate the adaptive landscape of diadromous fishes to determine whether intraspecific variation predicts macroevolutionary phenotypic patterns in migratory fishes. Finally\, using more than 100 years of natural history collections\, I will trace the origin and evolutionary ecology of alewives introduced in the Great Lakes and compare these populations to native migratory populations from the East Coast of North America.

This talk develops a plea for attending to the productivity of contemporary arthouse cinema in this moment of heightened affectivity in the public realm. Cinema’s imaginative scenarios do not simply counter dominant political imaginaries of hate and fear with positive alternatives\, but “reconfigure the sensible” (Jacques Rancière) by probing layered affects in layered contexts\, encouraging us to think\, and feel\, again about present\, past\, and future claims to collectivity. \n\nClaudia Breger is is the Villard Professor of German and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. Her research focuses on twentieth- and twenty-first century culture\, with emphases on film and theater\; literary\, media\, and cultural theory\; and the intersections of gender\, sexuality and race.\n\nShe is particularly interested in combining theory with historical perspectives\, and cultural studies approaches with aesthetic inquiries and close reading practices. Her earliest book\, Ortlosigkeit des Fremden (Böhlau 1998)\, traces the genealogy of modern representations of Romani and other itinerant people at the intersection of race and gender around 1800. Prof. Breger’s second book\, Szenarien kopfloser Herrschaft (Rombach 2004)\, investigates reconfigurations of royal imaginaries beyond sovereignty in twentieth-century German culture\, in scenarios ranging from imperial Egyptology to queer drag king performances.\n\nThe German Speakers Series is sponsored by the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures.

These data can be used to assess long-term evolution of three Earth spheres: core\, mantle\, and surface environment. Core evolution is manifested by long-term behavior of the geodynamo\, which shows remarkable consistencies in field strength\, reversal rate\, and patterns of secular variation over a two-billion-year time interval. The Ediacaran Period\, however\, is marked by unusually rapid paleomagnetic variations that may signify the onset of inner core nucleation. Evolution of the mantle is documented by the rates and styles of lithospheric plate motions and true polar wander (TPW)\, and the episodic formation of supercontinents. Distinguishing individual plate motions from TPW can be difficult for the bulk of Earth history that lacks intact oceanic plates and hotspot tracks\, but several possible TPW episodes are scattered across Proterozoic time. The oscillatory nature of those data suggests the existence of large low-shearwave velocity provinces (LLSVPs) anchoring global mantle structure along an equatorial axis. Some have viewed the LLSVPs as permanent fixtures of the deep Earth\, but rapid shifts in the axes of oscillation at ca. 850 and 300 Ma could instead imply LLSVP dissolution and re-formation\, after a 90-degree shift in longitude\, during times of Rodinia and Pangea supercontinental aggregation. This \"orthoversion\" concept of supercontinental transitions links whole-mantle structure\, plate tectonics\, and TPW in a unified model of mantle dynamics spanning the latter half of Earth history. Reconstructions of the pre-Rodinia supercontinent Nuna and its possible predecessor Kenorland are only beginning to take form. Proterozoic supercontinents may also have influenced global climate\, as both the Neoproterozoic and Paleoproterozoic low-latitude \"Snowball Earth” ice ages closely follow emplacement of voluminous large igneous provinces (LIPs) likely coincident with continental fragmentation. However\, absence of glaciation at ca. 1300 Ma\, a time of similarly widespread LIP emplacement\, might alternatively suggest low sensitivity of the global carbon cycle to paleogeography.

My research projects in South India and the United States have roots in longstanding engagements with the politics of sexuality\, gender and religion. These projects have focused in particular on the body as an artifact of culture and power in relation to questions of sexual subjectivity\, social transformation and citizenship projects. I have conducted research in the US on sexual ‘risk’ and transsexual medicine and in South India on ‘sacred prostitution’ (devadasi dedication) and Dalit conversion to Buddhism.\n\nMy first book\, Given to the Goddess: South Indian Devadasis and the Sexuality of Religion (Duke University Press\, 2014)\, is an ethnography of a contemporary practice in which girls are married to a goddess. I take this ongoing practice and its reform as an occasion to consider what can count as religion and who and what marriage is for. In 2015\, Given to the Goddess received the first Michelle Rosaldo best first book prize in Feminist Anthropology\, the Ruth Benedict prize from the Association for Queer Anthropology\, and the Clifford Geertz Prize for best book in the anthropology of religion from the Society for the Anthropology of Religion. The book also received honorable mention for the best book in South Asian Studies from the Association for Asian Studies in 2016.\n\nI serve as the director of graduate studies in the Feminist\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies program.

They provide a powerful way to detect patterns and relationships within big data systems. But\, are they meaningful when the “system” is an individual person? Indeed\, the reliability and validity of network approaches have been questioned in the social and medical sciences\; network results are assumed to generalize across people and time\, but these assumptions rarely hold because people are heterogeneous and dynamic. The goal of this presentation is to introduce a person-specific perspective to network modeling\, and to illustrate the accuracy of a particular modeling approach called group iterative multiple model estimation (GIMME). Two novel GIMME-related applications will also be presented. In the first\, GIMME will be used to detect individualized time-varying neural connectivity during a resting state\, revealing connectivity parameters that are associated with cognitive impulsivity. In the second\, GIMME will be used to identify personalized links among emoji-based emotion structures and daily depressive symptomatology. This is an ongoing work with possible extensions to big(ger) data (e.g.\, Twitter) and with implications for precision health care.\n\nBio: Dr. Adriene Beltz is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan.

They include curated databases of known metabolites\, multidimensional spectral query for identification and quantitation\, and rapid non-uniformly sampled 2D TOCSY collection and spectral reconstruction. Many of these developments are now available for automation and have been integrated into our COLMAR suite of web servers and databases (http://spin.ccic.ohio-state.edu/index.php/colmar).\n\nPhysical-chemical properties of metabolites can also be obtained by quantitatively analyzing their interaction propensities with synthetic nanoparticles. Such information\, in turn\, can be applied to understand and predict interaction profiles of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) with nanoparticle surfaces.

He holds a Master in Biology and eventually discovered the profession of biological illustration. He committed to freelance biological illustration for several years before joining the Museum of Zoology. While John enjoys the challenge of doing illustrations for others\, he finds that as he matures\, expressing his own artistic vision is becoming important to him. He is now looking forward to creating art that reflects his own interpretations of nature\, life and the environment. \n\nThis exhibit gives a peek at the kinds of topics he hopes to pursue. He painted species that are threatened\, endangered or have disappeared from Michigan and also of the flying squirrel\, species that is being carefully watched by biologists as its distribution is changing and they are not sure why. He invites the viewer to see the show and find out about some interesting theories.\n\nGoing\, Going\, Gone runs from November through January.\n\nVisit the website: www.seas.umich.edu/gallery For more information contact: Sara Adlerstein adlerste@umich.edu UID:57779-14306134@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57779 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Culture,Ecology,Education,Environment,Exhibition,Humanities,Multidisciplinary Design,Natural Sciences,nature,Networking,Reception,Visual Arts,Well-being LOCATION:Dana Natural Resources Building - First Floor Commons CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181106T171213 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181130T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181130T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Visiting Lecture: Black Debt\, White Debt (City Edition) DESCRIPTION:Louise Seamster will be presenting the first visiting lecture for a new graduate workshop: Risk\, Lending\, & the Future of Debtor Urbanization.

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.

Attend the Global Citizenship in Practice conference on 12/1 and earn one point. Present a poster and earn two!\n\nGlobal citizenship is a popular idea among many of us\, yet we do not always conceptualize or actualize it in the same ways. Some argue we are all global citizens by virtue of our increasing interconnectedness with other people and cultures. Others identify as global citizens because of a sense of collective responsibility over a shared future worldwide\, a responsibility which must be actively incorporated into daily life. Further complicating this notion is the question of access: who has the knowledge\, resources\, and power to claim global citizenship as an identity and to make decisions affecting global change? \n\nGlobal Citizenship in Practice is an opportunity to share interdisciplinary approaches to global citizenship\, with emphasis on how we put this idea into practice.\n\n**Register to attend (free) by November 18**\n\nWant to share your approach to global citizenship?\n\n**Propose a poster or concurrent session\nPriority deadline: November 11**\nDo you have global justice-related research to share or an internship story to tell? Are you involved in an organization that exemplifies effective global citizenship? You've received a grade on that excellent paper\; now would you like to share it with a wider audience? We welcome a variety of submissions: traditional presentations\, discussions\, facilitated activities\, art installations\, and even performances.\n\nSome questions to explore include:\n\nWhat are the philosophical and legal challenges to defining global citizenship\, a notion that implies both rights and responsibilities?\n\nWhat values are we attempting to communicate when we claim to be a \"citizen of the world\"?\n\nHow do current issues (e.g.\, world trade\, immigration\, resource disparities) inform or complicate the notion of global citizenship?\n\nWhat are examples of how members of our own campus practice global citizenship across disciplines\, through scholarship and service?\n\nHow can we\, as individuals\, better understand the global effects of our current habits and behaviors\, and what positive changes can we bring to our own practice of global citizenship?

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.

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.

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.

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520884@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181128T093439 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181202T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181202T150000 SUMMARY:Performance:A Concert of Classical Chinese Poems and Songs DESCRIPTION:Registration is required: https://goo.gl/LciPTo\n\nThis concert presents a selection of classical Chinese poems/songs from the Classic of Poetry (Shijing) and Tang Song Poetry (Tang Song shici).

Church\, State\, and Family in Late Antiquity: The Problem of Women Patrons DESCRIPTION:While Roman men enjoyed great freedom to dispose of their personal wealth in antiquity\, the legal status of women was weaker and the fate of their bequests was often in dispute. Because they were legal minors\, women’s donations to the church were especially vulnerable under Roman law\, and the late Roman law codes record responses to challenges by family and creditors. As the imperial consistory takes up this litigation\, emperors begin to articulate the state’s interest against the claims of the church. Case law thus becomes a driving force both for the definition of women’s legal capacity and an important point of church-state relations. What began as a ‘women’s problem’ gradually redrew the lines between church\, state and family and\, in significant ways\, the boundaries of public and private life in late antiquity.\n\nReadings are circulated approximately two weeks in advance and may be obtained upon request from Terre Fisher\, Program Administrator for the Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program (MEMS)\, at telf@umich.edu.

The primary goal of the Summit is to empower youth to find their own innovative ideas for development and provide a platform for dialogue between youth\, the WBG\, and the international community.The event has been organized since 2013\, each year having a different theme including governance\, climate change\, education and most recently\, technology and innovation. The 2017 Summit engaged over 400 participants\,attracted over 12\,500 viewers online and received 500 competition entries from more than 150 countries. \n\nThe sixth annual WBG Youth Summit willbe held at the World Bank in Washington D.C. on December 3rd-4th\, 2018. The two-day summit will contain plenary sessions to engage youth with thought-leaders in human capital and workshops to provide youth attendees withthe opportunity to share ideas and discuss. An important element of the Summit is the Competition which will invite young professionals to submit business or policy level proposals on the year’s topic. Registration for the competition and attendance to the Summit is now open. THE DEADLINE TO APPLY IS OCTOBER 5\, 2018. \n\nA key determinant of a country’s competitiveness is its human talent - the skills\, knowledge\, and experience of its population\, better known as “human capital”. The agenda of this year’s Youth Summit will be structured around two main sub-themes\, exploring how youth can maximize their\, and other individuals’\, human capital throughout their lifespan. The event is open for youth ages 18-35 so is applicable for both undergraduate and graduate students while also attracting many young professionals. We can also work with you to arrange a remote watch party as the event will be livestreamed. \n\nRegister here: \nhttp://www.worldbank.org/en/events/2018/07/25/world-bank-youth-summit-2018-unleashing-the-power-of-human-capital\n\nFollow us on Facebook: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/879956098846105 UID:54160-13532880@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54160 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Washington, District of Columbia, United States CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181126T084635 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181203T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181203T100000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Clinical Science Brown Bag: Emotion Regulation Therapy: Translating affect science principles to improve clinical outcomes for refractory disorders DESCRIPTION:Despite extensive efficacy findings\, a sizable subgroup of individuals remains refractory to CBT. In particular\, patients with “distress disorders” (generalized anxiety disorder and/or major depressive disorder) evidence suboptimal treatment response coupled with reduced life functioning and satisfaction. These patients are often characterized by intense emotional experiences resulting in an inordinately cautious manner that favors protection over reward as well as perseverative cognition (i.e.\, worry\, rumination) that disrupts new contextual learning. Using this hypothesized profile as a framework\, Emotion Regulation Therapy (ERT) was developed as a theoretically-derived\, evidence based\, treatment integrating principles from traditional and contemporary CBT with basic and translational findings from affect science to offer a blueprint for improving intervention by focusing on the motivational responses and corresponding regulatory characteristics of individuals with distress disorders. This presentation will offer an introduction to ERT by reviewing open-label and randomized controlled trial findings as well as recent studies that begin to elucidate the neurobehavioral and peripheral psychophysiological markers for the proposed underlying mechanisms.

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.

The small footprint of these devices enables portability\, low power consumption\, and fast analysis time. Due to these features\, micro gas chromatographs can be applied to environmental monitoring\, homeland security\, and online quality tracking. This dissertation describes the development of prototype instruments as well as studies of core components such as micro preconcentrators\, microcolumns\, Deans switches\, and micro vapor detectors. Two nondestructive photoionization detectors have been developed and verified to have ultra-low detection limits (few pg) as well as rapid response rates. The micro flow-through photoionization detector (micro-PID) integrates microfluidic channels and ionization chambers on monolithic chips\, providing ‘on column detection’ for analytes. The micro-PID can be used at fluidic interfaces between each dimension in multidimensional GC systems for obtaining additional information for gas routing control and signal reconstruction. Helium dielectric barrier discharge photoionization detectors use helium plasma as an ionization source to emit photons with energies up to 17.5 eV. Thus\, these detectors can serve as universal vapor sensors and will expand the application scope of micro GC systems. These detectors were used in an application on formaldehyde detection\, which was studied with a heart cutting two-dimensional (2D) micro GC. Target compounds can be transferred into the second-dimensional system for further precise separation and detection. Analysis of other air pollution-related\, toxic compounds was performed by the first-dimensional column and micro-PID simultaneously. The formaldehyde low detection limit of the novel 2D system was tested to be sub-ppb (V/V) level with 6 min of sampling. The design\, fabrication\, and evaluation of separation microcolumns are also discussed in this dissertation. A stationary phase thickness gradient coated microcolumn was developed to generate high-resolution chromatograms by introducing a peak focusing effect. Additionally\, a hybrid adhesive connection method was developed for high-temperature applications and evaluated to be leak free and volatile compound free up to 350 °C even after thermal cycling. By integrating all miniaturized components\, including micro preconcentrators\, microcolumns\, and micro-PIDs\, an ultra-compact micro GC system (147 g in weight and 0.14 L in volume) was constructed. By scaling down the system\, we achieved high separation performance and low power consumption\, which clearly separated 14 compounds in 3 minutes.\n\nChair: Dr. Xudong Fan UID:57697-14263404@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57697 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Engineering,Medicine,Research LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 2203 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181126T125514 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181203T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181203T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Drop-in Backpacking\, Registration\, and Degree Audit Checks DESCRIPTION:LSA advisors will help you select courses and backpack for the winter semester.

A rich body of literature in moral psychology debates whether being honest closely resembles System I processes—fast\, instinctual\, and effortless— or System II processes—slower\, deliberative\, and effortful. Researchers’ strong emphasis on explaining honesty with either System I or System II thinking has limited the scope of moral psychology investigation to a particular subset of moral situations that bolsters either view. Instead of taking sides with either camp\, we move beyond the debate and identify lay theories about morality and effort as an alternative lever of our moral decision making. Specifically\, we ask where people actually stand on this debate. This research provides novel insights into how our lay theories linking honesty and effort can help us rationalize our dishonesty.

In Part 1\, I examine the reciprocal relationship between sleep and social rejection\, including discrimination. In Part 2\, I take a dyadic perspective\, considering the ways in which people are influenced not only by their own sleep\, but by their romantic partner’s sleep as well. Across studies\, I highlight physiological and cognitive mechanisms underlying these links\, as well as identify individual differences that make people more or less vulnerable to them. These studies utilize a multi-method approach\, combining self-report\, observational\, and behavioral measures with autonomic nervous system reactivity and neuroendocrine responses in both naturalistic (longitudinal\, daily experience) and experimental (lab- and field-based) designs. Together\, these studies highlight the ways in which social and biological processes can exert potentially unseen influence on each other\, creating the possibility of a vicious cycle\, not just within one individual\, but across people as well.

Understanding mammalian gene regulation therefore requires understanding 3D genome organization. We have developed new chemical biology\, computational and biophysical approaches to visualize the key proteins\, CTCF and cohesin\, that control chromatin looping at single-molecule resolution inside living cells. Similarly\, we have developed approaches to directly visualize chromatin loops and to follow them dynamically as they form\, function\, and break inside living cells. We will discuss our results from these studies\, which suggest that 3D genome organization and chromatin loops are likely much more dynamic than previously anticipated. \n \n \n \n \nAnders Hansen\, PhD (UC Berkeley) UID:57179-14124208@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57179 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180906T082911 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181203T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181203T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Beinecke DESCRIPTION:Join the ONSF Director\, Dr. Henry Dyson\, at 4-5 pm on Monday\, December 3\, 2018 in the LSA Honors Program Lounge (1330 Mason Hall) for a brown bag info session.

Using the antiproton cosmic-ray measurements by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) on board the International Space Station\, I will present work in search of unexpected sources of antiprotons. In doing that\, I will discuss the uncertainties related to the interstellar propagation of cosmic-rays\, the antiproton production cross-section uncertainties from inelastic cosmic-ray collisions the interstellar medium\, as well as the uncertainties from the effects of the solar wind. At the GeV range there is an excess of cosmic-ray antiprotons that could be accounted for by a dark matter particle in the mass range of 50 to 90 GeV. Furthermore I will discuss the prospects of detecting anti-deuterons and anti-Helium nuclei produced both from inelastic collisions of high energy cosmic-rays with the interstellar medium gas from dark matter annihilations. Interestingly\, under certain assumptions relating to the properties of the Milky Way we may be able to detect with AMS\, cosmic-ray anti-deuterons and anti-Helium from annihilating dark matter particles.\n UID:53480-13386090@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53480 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 West Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181203T093334 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181203T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181203T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:II Round Table: Antisemitism Today DESCRIPTION:What is Antisemitism\, and how is it manifesting itself today?

The Sentimental Body: Medical Humanitarianism and the Late Colonial Public in Indonesia DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the role of medical humanitarianism in formations and fantasies of the native public in late colonial Indonesia. It looks at a particular institution that stood at the vanguard of humanitarian care in the late colonial period: the missionary clinic. Missionary medical care proved to be a rallying point among Dutch colonial and metropolitan citizens who praised it as a form of humanitarian care and colonial benevolence. In recognizing this celebration of medical humanitarianism as a response to growing anxieties over the nature and direction of the native mass public\, this talk pursues a set of interrelated questions: How and why did missionary clinics and hospitals gain such broad colonial appeal? And what sort of native biological\, political\, and expressive bodies and publics did humanitarian care promise to create? In exploring these questions\, this talk will place medicine\, care\, the native body\, and the native public more centrally in our understanding of the politics and ethics of the self-proclaimed Ethical (Ethische) Period of Dutch colonialism (1900-1942) in Indonesia. It will then end by briefly considering Muslim responses to missionary humanitarian care starting in the 1920s.\n\nBiosketch: Kevin Ko is a postdoctoral scholar in the Michigan Society of Fellows and an assistant professor in the Department of History. He specializes in modern Southeast Asian history with particular interests in medicine\, religion\, the body\, and the public sphere in late colonial Indonesia. He is at work on a book project that examines the role of health\, medicine\, and the body in Christian and Muslim reform movements in late colonial Indonesia.

Unfortunately there is accumulating evidence that some surgeons are not competent by the time they finish their training and enter independent practice. The causes of these deficits are manifold and complex\, but regardless represent a failure of the healthcare educational system to keep pace with a) the rapidly changing healthcare delivery system\, b) the increasing complexity of modern medicine\, and c) changing cultural norms. New approaches will be needed to update the training paradigm\, including the application of engineering methods such as quality assurance\, predictive analytics\, and quality/process improvement. This talk will describe some of the innovations occurring in these domains as well as present a roadmap for how more rigorous analysis and design should shape future medical education policy.\n\nDr. Brian C. George is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of Michigan. He serves in many local and national leadership roles in surgical education\, including as the Executive Director of the Procedural Learning and Safety Collaborative\, a multi-institutional research consortium\, and the Associate Program Director for the University of Michigan’s General Surgery Residency and the Surgical Critical Care Fellowship. \n\nDr. George completed his undergraduate degree in Engineering Physics at the University of Michigan and then worked as a software engineer in Silicon Valley. He later completed his MD at the University of California San Francisco\, his residency at Massachusetts General Hospital\, and a Trauma/Surgical Critical Care fellowship at University of Washington’s Harborview Hospital. He also has a Master’s degree in Quantitative Assessment and Evaluation from the University of California Berkeley’s School of Education. \n\nDr. George’s primary academic focus is on operative performance assessment and bridging the gap between surgical education research and health services research. Dr. George’s ultimate goal is to help develop evidence-based and patient-centered standards for surgical training.\n\nThe seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.\nFor additional information and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, \nplease contact genehkim@umich.edu UID:57982-14383894@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57982 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Engineering,Medicine,seminar LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering - 1123 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180820T131516 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181203T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181203T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Medical School Inside Story DESCRIPTION:Do you have questions about medical school admissions?

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.

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

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520886@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181129T100847 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181204T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181204T114500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Themed Drop-Ins: Winter Break Blueprint DESCRIPTION:The semester's winding down\, and internship season is ramping up!

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.

The technology set includes walking and canoe travel. The end product is a Cell-Cost raster that combines walking speeds over a variety of terrains (using the Waldo Tobbler Hiking Function as the vertical factor of a DEM elevation projection) and canoe speeds along rivers of different velocities (using The Major River Basins of the World\, classified by mean annual discharge and estimates of river velocity developed from afriv). As a demonstration\, the Path Distance Tool in ArcGIS is used to estimate the least-cost travel time from anywhere on the continent to the nearest “coastal” slave port between 1500 and 1850. The resulting estimates of travel time are used to identify the effects of the international slave trade shocks on African labor institutions (slavery)\, family structure (polygyny)\, agricultural technology (plow) and religious belief (High God). Simple estimates of straight-line distance are shown to have no explanatory power in this context.

I will describe the science\, technology\, and human story behind these discoveries that provide a completely new window into some of the most violent and warped events in the Universe.\n\nBIO\nNergis Mavalvala is the Curtis and Kathleen Marble Professor of Astrophysics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Associate Head of the Department of Physics. \n\nShe is a physicist whose research focuses on the detection of gravitational waves from violent events in the cosmos that warp and ripple the fabric of spacetime. She is a leading figure in the scientific team that in early 2016 announced the first direct detection of gravitational waves from colliding black holes using the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors. This breakthrough and subsequent observations have ushered in a new era of astrophysics\, opening a window into the violent and warped universe not visible with light. \n\nIn addition to her work on developing technologies for gravitational wave detectors since her graduate student years in the 1990s\, Mavalvala has also conducted pioneering experiments to generate exotic quantum states of light and to optically cool and trap mirrors to enable observation of quantum effects that are usually manifested in the microscopic world in human-scale objects. \n\nShe is the recipient of numerous awards and honors\, including a MacArthur Fellowship in 2010 and election to the National Academy of Sciences in 2017. Mavalvala earned a BA in physics and astronomy from Wellesley College and a PhD in physics from MIT.\n\nABOUT THE LECTURESHIP\nThe M. Alten Gilleo Distinguished Lectureship in Optical Sciences and Optoelectronics brings the world’s top researchers in the field of optics and optoelectronics to Michigan. The Lectureship was established by Anita Gilleo (BS Lit ‘44) in honor of her brother\, Mathias Alten Gilleo (BSE EE ‘44).

In A Rainbow for the Christian West: The Poetry of René Depestre (1977)\, she introduced to an English-speaking audience Depestre’s early epic poem about the vodou gods and their journey to the American South. With Fables of Mind: An Inquiry into Poe’s Fiction (1987)\, she turned to Poe’s fictions as complicated critiques of the traditions of romance and the gothic. Emphasizing a Calvinist Poe rather than a transcendental one\, she argued that his studies of mind (reinvigorating Locke\, Newton\, Edwards\, and Swift) are not anachronistically modern but have simply been misread outside their natural context of early American writing. Haiti\, History and the Gods (1998) tells the story of colonial Haiti from the composite perspectives of legal and religious texts\, letters\, fiction\, and her own knowledge of the country. \n\nHer recent books are The Story of Cruel and Unusual (2007)\, which exposes the paradox of the eighth amendment to the Constitution\, showing that in the United States\, cycles of jurisprudence safeguard rights and then justify their revocation\; and The Law is a White Dog: How Legal Rituals Make and Unmake Persons (2011)\, which examines how the fictions and language of law turn persons (and other legal non-entities like dogs\, ghosts\, slaves\, felons\, and terror suspects) into “rightless objects.” The Law is a White Dog was selected by Choice as one of top-25 \"Outstanding Academic Books\" for 2011. With dogs at the edge of life will be published in December 2015.\n\nOver the past ten years\,she has written widely on prison rights\, the legalities of torture\, canine profiling\, animal law\, and the racial contours of US practices of punishment for The Boston Review\, The New York Times\, The London Review of Books\, and Al Jazeera America\, where she is a contributing editor.\n\nHonors include election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\; and fellowships from the Danforth Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, the Social Science Research Council\, the Davis Center for Historical Studies and the Program in Law and Public Affairs\, Princeton.\n\n\nFilm screening of her presentation/monologue “Legal Sorcery\,” Kassel documenta 14: http://www.documenta14.de/en/calendar/23458/legal-sorcery UID:54213-13539465@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54213 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Anthropology,History,immigration LOCATION:Haven Hall - 4701 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181127T092438 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181204T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181204T172000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Genealogies of Surveillance: From COINTELPRO to CVE DESCRIPTION:This lecture will examine the long legacy of the U.S. domestic intelligence operations against marginalized peoples and their contemporary manifestations and trace the continuities between surveillance and infiltration against practices against Arab\, Muslim\, and SWANA communities today and those used during the Civil Rights and cultural/revolutionary nationalist movements of the 50's-70's.

When the spectral density is parametrically explicit\, we define a Generalized Method of Moments estimator that satisfies consistency and asymptotic normality\, using the Breuer-Major theorem which applies to long-memory processes. This result is applied to the joint estimation of the three parameters of a stationary fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (fOU) process driven for all Hurst parameters. For general processes observed at fixed discrete times\, no matter what the memory length\, we use state-of-the-art Malliavin calculus tools to prove BerryEsseen-type and other speeds of convergence in total variation\, for estimators based on power variations. This is joint work with Luis Barboza (U. Costa Rica)\, Khalifa es-Sebaiy (U. Kuwait)\, and Soukaina Douissi (U. Cadi Ayyad\, Morocco). Time permitting\, we will reveal some ideas from ongoing work with Fatimah Alsharani (MSU) and Philip Ernst (Rice U.\, Houston\, Texas) on hypothesis testing for Gaussian processes extending modeling to second-chaos processes\, with applications to sea-level rise.

By exploring Baekje’s archaeological remains\, however\, we can clearly see that the kingdom’s social and economic organization has deep roots in local Mahan cultural traditions. The Mahan\, a society or group of societies that has largely defied traditional classification\, were politically complex but not centralized\, and appear to have valued autonomy and alliance over the rigid structures of the state. Baekje began as a single Mahan polity and then expanded its territory out from the Han river\, while the Mahan cultures further south maintained their way of life throughout the Hanseong Baekje period. \n\nThis talk presents new data on Mahan\, Baekje\, and the relationship between them through a geochemical analysis of their pottery. Pottery is the most common type of artifact found at sites\, was used by members of every social class\, and encodes a tremendous amount of information about the people who made it. The idea of ‘influence’ can be deconstructed into specific relics of real\, long-distance material exchange\, and put in the context of the daily life of large Mahan and Baekje settlements.

This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520887@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181129T100847 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181205T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181205T114500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Themed Drop-Ins: Winter Break Blueprint DESCRIPTION:The semester's winding down\, and internship season is ramping up!

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.

Class\, Culture\, and the \"Gastarbeiters\": Contested Meanings of Labor Migration in Socialist Yugoslavia DESCRIPTION:In 1972\, famous Zagreb-based film director Krsto Papić released his documentary “Special Trains\,” which accompanies Yugoslav migrant workers on their journey from Zagreb to Germany. The film ends with a scene showing the migrants in the basement of Munich central station\, where they are addressed by the number of their work contracts and no longer by their names. This short documentary encapsulates the ambivalences of labor migration from Yugoslavia. It was the only socialist country allowing its people to take work in the capitalist west\, which by many was hailed as a sign of its openness. Yet\, the export of workers from the presumed socialist paradise also provoked critical reflections about class inequality in the country. This talk will present the ambivalent and shifting representations of “gastarbeiters” in political and public discourses in socialist Yugoslavia since the 1960s. It seems that eventually the state failed to manage the semantic – and social – contradictions connected with migration. The focus will be on the problem of representations of emigration in sending countries\, which receives much less attention than the question of immigration. \n\nUlf Brunnbauer is director of the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies in Regensburg and professor of Southeast and East European history at the University of Regensburg.

A predictive subset of DM models has DM in thermal equilibrium with Standard Model particles in the early universe. A well-known example of this is the Weakly-Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) with an electroweak-scale mass. However\, as direct searches for WIMP-nucleus interactions set stronger and stronger limits\, attention has turned to less well-explored DM candidates. Sub-MeV thermal relics\, in particular\, have received little attention\, in part due to the apparently stringent bounds from astrophysics and cosmology. For example\, such particles contribute to the energy density of the universe at the time of nucleosynthesis and recombination. The resulting constraints on extra degrees of freedom typically exclude even the simplest of such dark sectors. I will describe the physics that leads to these bounds and show that if a sub-MeV dark sector entered equilibrium with the Standard Model after neutrino-photon decoupling\, these constraints are alleviated. This scenario naturally arises in theories of neutrino mass generation through the spontaneous breaking of lepton number. Dark matter relic abundance in these models independently motivates the MeV scale. This scenario will be decisively tested by future measurements of the cosmic microwave background and large scale structure of the universe.

In this talk\, I will describe a particular case of social influence—physiological linkage—which occurs when one person’s physiological response predicts another person’s physiological response at a future time point. First\, I will present a theoretical framework for understanding how physiological linkage occurs and the psychological inferences that can be drawn from it. Next\, I will describe a set of studies examining physiological linkage alongside dyadic behaviors\, group outcomes\, and country-level measures of social relationships. Across these studies\, I will show that linkage is conditional and occurs when people are socially attuned to one another. Finally\, I will discuss the importance of physiological linkage for understanding dyadic and group behavior\, as well as implications of these findings for health and well-being.

Over the past decade\, Japanese humanoid robots designed for use in homes\, hospitals\, offices\, and schools have become celebrated in mass and social media throughout the world. In Robo sapiens japanicus\, Jennifer Robertson casts a critical eye on press releases and public relations videos that misrepresent robots as being as versatile and agile as their science fiction counterparts. An ethnography and sociocultural history of governmental and academic discourse of human-robot relations in Japan\, this book explores how actual robots—humanoids\, androids\, and animaloids—are “imagineered” in ways that reinforce the conventional sex/gender system and political-economic status quo. In addition\, Robertson interrogates the notion of human exceptionalism as she considers whether “civil rights” should be granted to robots. Similarly\, she juxtaposes how robots and robotic exoskeletons reinforce a conception of the “normal” body with a deconstruction of the much-invoked Theory of the Uncanny Valley.\n\nAttendees will have the chance to win a free copy of the book!

Low mode implosion symmetry and hydrodynamic insta-bilities seeded by capsule mounting features are two lim-iting factors for implosion performance. These factors have a sizeable impact on ICF performance due to the high convergences needed for high fusion gains. Physics models in the codes that are “good enough” at low con-vergences may not be accurate enough for high conver-gence ICF implosions. When applying large complex simu-lations to ICF problems\, one may ask “what is the domain of validity for the models that make up the simulations.” A major challenge in high energy density science is code or model validation due to the integrated nature of ex-periments and the extreme experimental conditions. De-signing experiments to isolate and validate models is im-portant\, as well as obtaining data to determine the confi-dence in the models as one moves to parameters where experimental data does not exist. This presentation will discuss the challenges\, a framework for validating models\, and the extrapolation beyond experimental data.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Dr. John Kline received a BS at the U. of South Florida in 1995 and a PhD in Plasma Physics from West Virginia U. in 2002\, focusing on ion heating in Helicon plasma sources. In 2002\, he joined Los Alamos National Lab investigating laser plasma interactions in the context of ICF. Starting in 2008\, Dr. Kline became involved in the national ICF program at the National Ignition Facility and later as a campaign leader. He conducted some of the first experiments on NIF after the initial completion of the facility studying hohlraum radiation drive and laser coupling to gas filled hohlraums. He has also been involved experiments covering a wide range of topics in High Energy Density Science (HEDS) including radiation transport\, hydrodynamic instabilities\, and electron heat transport. Dr. Kline has over 200 publications and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Dr. Kline is currently the LANL ICF program manager.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

It explains an enormous variety of natural phenomena to an extraordinary degree of accuracy — everything from semiconductors to the Sun itself. Yet there is a problem: it's unclear what this immensely fruitful theory says about reality. What is going on in the world of quantum physics? Why does \"measurement\" play a special role in the theory? Is it really impossible to talk about what's happening to atoms and subatomic particles when we're not looking at them? For many years\, the standard answer to questions like this was to \"shut up and calculate\,\" to ignore these issues and simply use quantum physics to predict the outcomes of experiments. There was also a historical myth that went along with this answer\, a myth that said Einstein had once worried about these questions\, but he was shown the error of his ways by the great Danish physicist Niels Bohr. Yet that myth is simply untrue\, and these thorny quantum paradoxes are far more important than most physicists once believed. In this talk\, I'll explain the puzzles at the heart of quantum physics\, why they matter\, and what really went down between Einstein and Bohr 90 years ago.\n\nBio: Adam Becker is an author\, astrophysicist\, and public speaker. His book\, What is Real? The Unfinished Quest for the Meaning of Quantum Physics (Basic Books\, 2018) is a \"thorough\, illuminating exploration of the most consequential controversy raging in modern science\,\" according to the New York Times. The Washington Post called it \"splendid\"\, and Science dubbed Adam \"a riveting storyteller\". Adam has also written for the BBC\, NPR\, Scientific American\, NOVA\, New Scientist\, and other science media outlets. He recorded a video series with the BBC\, and has appeared on numerous radio shows and podcasts. Adam has a PhD in cosmology from the University of Michigan and an undergraduate degree in philosophy and in physics from Cornell University. He is the recipient of an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Book Grant for his work on What Is Real. Adam is a visiting scholar in the Office for the History of Science and Technology at UC Berkeley. He lives in Oakland\, California.\n UID:56854-14014877@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56854 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181001T111352 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181205T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181205T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 Seminar: Martin Savelsbergh\, Georgia Institute of Technology DESCRIPTION:Title: Exploiting Decomposable Structure to Design Better Algorithms for Solving Integer Programs\n\nAbstract\nOptimization problems in which some or all of the variables are constrained to take integer values are of broad applicability in a wide range of fields\, from medicine and healthcare to banking and finance to environmental management and conservation. Over recent decades\, exact algorithms for their solution have become faster and more efficient\, culminating in a variety of commercial software platforms and public domain codes that provide exceptional capability for solving practical problems to optimality. However\, this seems to have only increased the appetite of practitioners to solve ever-larger problems\, which challenge the state-of-the-art. In this talk\, we bring together two apparently disparate observations: (i) many practical problems have decomposable structure and (ii) despite the enormous strides in solution algorithms\, one key element common to all of them\, namely\, the branching rule\, has remained largely untouched since it was first presented in the 1960's. Yet the branching rule defines how the search space is divided in the \"divide-and-conquer\" paradigm that forms the basis of all exact algorithms\; it is central to the algorithm. Here\, we will describe a new idea for exploiting decomposable structure in problems to derive alternative\, powerful\, new branching rules. These rules are demonstrated to speed up commercial solvers by orders of magnitude\, on two classes of problems having different characteristics. The potential to generalize these ideas will also be discussed.\n\nBio\nMartin Savelsbergh is a logistics and optimization specialist with over 25 years of experience in mathematical modeling\, operations research\, optimization methods\, algorithm design\, performance analysis\, transport\, supply chain management\, and production planning.

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.

For adipocytes\, key regulators of glucose and lipid metabolism\, the renewal rate is only 10% per year1. Using computational modeling\, quantitative mass spectrometry\, and single-cell microscopy\, we showed that cell-to-cell variability\, or noise\, in protein abundance acts within a network of more than six positive feedbacks to permit pre-adipocytes to differentiate at very low rates. This reconciles two fundamental opposing requirements: high cell-to-cell signal variability so that differentiation rates can be kept very low and low signal variability to prevent differentiated cells from de-differentiating. Higher eukaryotes can thus control low rates of near irreversible cell fate decisions through a balancing act between noise and ultra-high feedback connectivity.\n\nWe have since explored how the differentiation network functions in the physiological context where hormone inputs are known to oscillate. Intriguingly\, we found that a circadian signaling code is critical for restricting the rate of fat cell differentiation. Dysregulation of the circadian pattern of glucocorticoid oscillations by irregular feeding and sleep cycles\, by long-term hormone treatment\, or during metabolic diseases\, have all been shown to cause obesity. By using live\, single-cell imaging of the key adipogenic transcription factors CEBPB and PPARG\, endogenously tagged with fluorescent proteins\, we show that pulsatile circadian hormone stimuli are rejected by the adipocyte differentiation control system\, leading to very low adipocyte differentiation rates. In striking contrast\, equally strong persistent signals trigger maximal differentiation. We identify a network that combines fast and slow positive feedback loops as a unique regulatory motif that selectively suppresses differentiation for circadian pulse patterns. Furthermore\, we confirm in mice that flattening of daily glucocorticoid oscillations significantly increases the mass of subcutaneous and visceral fat pads. Together\, our study provides a molecular mechanism for why stress\, Cushing's disease\, and other conditions for which glucocorticoid secretion loses its pulsatility may lead to obesity.\n\nMary N.

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

Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies UID:52176-12520888@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Architecture,Classical Studies,Detroit,Environment,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181204T063013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Staffworks Job Fair (over 50 positions available) DESCRIPTION:Staffworks will be using the Livonia Michigan Works (30246 Plymouth Road) for single-employer hiring events on Thursday\, December 6\; Thursday\, December 13\, and Thursday\, December 20 from 12pm-4pm on each day.

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.

This talk asks how adult Japanese women working in Tokyo’s legal sex industry manage a problem central to their work: it is both uniquely lucrative and stigmatizing\, simultaneously opening up possibility at the same time that it is unmentionable. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork\, in this talk I explore how the sexual economy is always also a moral economy shaped by ideologies of whom or what women’s labor should be for. \n \nGabriele Koch is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Yale-NUS College.

This was very different from the rich Carolinian forests whose remnants we can see today in Lower Michigan. These earliest colonists were foragers adapted to harsh and rapidly changing environments\, determined to exploit their populations of caribou\, elk\, mammoth\, mastodon\, peccary\, and other animals. Both subsistence systems and human social system have been defined by the devoted efforts of generations of University of Michigan museum researchers and students\, and Michigan’s avocational archaeologists. In today’s talk\, LaDuke and Wright will summarize what we have learned about a formative step in the evolution of Late Glacial foragers based on recent excavations at the Palmer site\, ending with some predictions about the directions of future research.

She completed her Ph.D. in biophysics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a Fulbright Fellow and then was a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich. In 2016\, she was granted an NIH Director’s New Innovator Award\, which allows her to pursue high-risk\, high-reward research developing tags for cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and developing new technological and computational techniques to advance structural cell biology. In 2017\, she was named a Pew Scholar. \n\n\nAbstract: \n\nTo perform their function\, biological systems need to operate across multiple scales. Current techniques in structural and cellular biology lack either the resolution or the context to observe the structure of individual biomolecules in their natural environment and are often hindered by artifacts. Our goal is to build tools that can reveal molecular structures in their native cellular environment. Using the power of cryo-electron tomography (CET) to image biomolecules at molecular resolution in situ\, we are building tools to make compatible with\, and directly comparable to\, biophysical and cell biology experiments\, capturing the structural behavior of macromolecules in action under controlled conditions. I will show how we used these techniques to reveal the structure of LRRK2\, the greatest known genetic contributor to Parkinson’s disease\, and to reveal the molecular architecture of bacterial cells. \n\nLunch will be provided to attendees.

I will describe insights gained from over three decades of studying alarm calls and fear screams in marmots (which are large\, mostly-alpine\, ground squirrels) throughout the northern hemisphere. Fear screams are remarkably similar across taxa and they seem to be particularly evocative to many species. My studies of non-humans suggest that it is the noise and non-linearities in them that is what evokes negative emotions and heighted responses in those hearing them. I formalize this in ‘the non-linearity and fear hypothesis’ and discuss my tests of the hypothesis in studies of marmots\, birds\, film soundtracks\, and humans. The sound of fear is non-linear.

The impact of nematicity and nematic uctuations on the high Tc superconducting phase is complicated\, however\, due to coexisence with long range magnetic order. I will discuss the evolution of physical properties\, including elastoresistance\, in the (Ba\,Sr)Ni2As2 substitution series\, a new electronic nematic system without magnetism or unconventional pairing. Our observation of a unidirectional charge density wave in the nematic phase of this series evokes comparisons to nematicity in cuprate superconductors\, and a strong enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature appears to be driven by nematic fluctuations\, establishing a promising route to higher superconducting critical temperatures.\n UID:58139-14428991@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58139 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181203T143749 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development Seminar DESCRIPTION:Having It at Hand: How Small Search Frictions Impact Bureaucratic Efficiency\n\nCan small search costs that constrain information acquisition and monitoring across the administrative hierarchy provide an explanation for poor bureaucratic performance in the developing world? In collaboration with the Indian Ministry of Rural Development and two state governments\, we conducted a field experiment in which a random sample of bureaucrats were provided access to an internet- and mobile-based management and monitoring platform for wage payments associated with the world's largest workfare program (MGNREGA)\, which suffers from serious payment delay problems. The platform lowered costs of accessing information about the status of pending payments and identifying subordinate employees who need to act. Our experiment also randomly varied which level of the administrative hierarchy had e-platform access – senior and/or intermediate managers. Overall\, we find delays are significantly reduced across all treatment arms in areas with worse pre-period delays. We also find that usage of the e-platform within a given level of the hierarchy is significantly impacted by whether the other level of the hierarchy receives concurrent access. The delay reductions achieved through usage of the tool point to the potential for service delivery improvements enabled by technology now widely available in capacity-constrained settings.

Malaria parasites face the same trade-off\, but their allocation of resources will have implications for disease severity and infectiousness. I will discuss how processes acting at different biological scales should shape the evolution of resource allocation in malaria parasites\, what this means for clinical and epidemiological outcomes\, and the extent to which subtle shifts in parasite life history traits may help them evade the effects of drugs.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/XGtoWmb5QPU UID:49657-11487542@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49657 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181206T181527 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Studies on student learning in a new organic chemistry curriculum designed to deepen understanding of reactivity and chemistry principles DESCRIPTION: Chemistry education research has revealed numerous challenges students face learning organic chemistry\, including barriers learning chemistry’s language\, interpreting\, rationalizing\, and predicting mechanistic processes and driving forces\, and limitations in curricula connecting organic chemistry to broader contexts.

The currents due to the relativistic electrons can generate huge\, dynamic fields within a laboratory plasma. Plasma dynamics in astrophysical plasmas are strongly impacted by magnetic field topology. However\, direct measurements of the outer space plasma conditions and fields are challenging\, so laboratory studies of magnetic dynamics and reconnection provide an important platform for testing theories and characterizing different regimes. The extremely energetic class of astrophysical phenomena - including high-energy pulsar winds\, gamma ray bursts\, and jets from galactic nuclei - have plasma conditions where the energy density of the magnetic fields exceeds the rest mass energy density (σ_cold = B^2/(μ_0 n_e m_e c^2) > 1\, the cold magnetization parameter). I will show experimental measurements\, along with numerical modeling\, of short-pulse\, high-intensity laser-plasma interactions that produce extremely strong magnetic fields (>100 T) in a plasma such that σcold > 1. The generation and the dynamics of these magnetic fields under different target conditions was studied\, and relativistic intensity laser-driven\, magnetic reconnection experiments were performed. I’ll describe how X-ray imaging allows the observation of the fast electron dynamics. Evidence of magnetic reconnection was identified by the plasma’s X-ray emission patterns\, changes to the electron spectrum\, and by measuring the reconnection timescales.

Runyonland Productions has been workshopping the show with the playwright\, and this production will be the piece’s world premiere. Taking place in the Duderstadt Video Studio\, For the Record explores the world of a young man trying to escape the history of his family\, haunted by the genetic disposition of Huntington’s disease.

In the theatre\, we ought to have a nurturing environment for the often-painful process of creating new works. I am optimistic that both the immense talent of its artists\, and the intelligence of its audiences\, will make Ann Arbor a nurturing environment for artistic achievement and a great incubator for new work.” UID:54263-13563504@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54263 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music,Theater,Writing LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Duderstadt Video Studio CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181128T125905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181206T193000 SUMMARY:Performance:Guest Recital: Michèle Renoul\, piano DESCRIPTION:Professor Renoul (Conservatoire de Strasbourg) will present a program celebrating Debussy and his influences.

Finding herself shipwrecked off Illyria and believing her brother dead\, Viola disguises herself as a man and enters the service of Duke Orsino. The Duke believes himself in love with Olivia\, but Olivia is swiftly falling for the disguised Viola. In the meantime\, Viola is developing feelings for the Duke. When Sebastian (who is not dead) arrives in Illyria\, confusion reigns supreme. Unrequited love and mistaken identities abound as the foursome journey towards a joyous discovery. \n\nTwelfth Night\, written around 1601\, is one of Shakespeare’s richest plays. The show takes its title from the revelry following the twelfth day of Christmas\, bringing together romance and music in a tale full of folly (it is also the day the first production was performed). One of the most “modern” of Shakespeare’s plays\, the comedy’s themes about the fickleness of love\, the arbitrary nature of relationships\, and the re-thinking of sexuality all conspire with brilliant verse to push boundaries and look at the world upside down. Twelfth Night explores not only the nature of desire\, but how perception is clouded by desire\, and in turn\, explores the very nature of perception itself. What is the disguise and what is the truth\, is never absolutely certain\, and often in the eye of the beholder (hence the play’s subtitle\, What You Will). As Feste\, the play’s clown says\, “that which is so is not so.” The production puts a twentieth-century twist on the story\, framing the action in a world inflected by the delightful sites and sounds of the 1930s.\n\n*Twelfth Night runs approximately three hours including one intermission.
