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

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

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

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well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic.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:52176-12520889@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:20181207T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181207T120000 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.

The\ninfection is assumed to spread via contagion (e.g.\, transmission over the edges of\nan underlying network). In the first scenario\, we observe the infection status of\nindividuals at a particular time instance and the goal is to identify a confidence\nset of nodes that contain the source of the infection with high probability. We\nshow that when the underlying graph is a tree with certain regularity properties\nand the structure of the graph is known\, confidence sets may be constructed with\ncardinality independent of the size of the infection set. In the scenario\, the goal is\nto infer the network structure of the underlying graph based on knowledge of the\ninfected individuals. We develop a hypothesis test based on permutation testing\,\nand describe a sufficient condition for the validity of the hypothesis test based on\nautomorphism groups of the graphs involved in the hypothesis test.\nThis is joint work with Justin Khim (UPenn).

The present paper is a response to this curious and ironic situation. In the effort to refocalize values and foment a new wave of value-centric institutional scholarship\, our review addresses three more specific questions. The first concerns the nature\, origin and functions of values themselves. The second concerns values’ relationship to other institutional elements and their place within the broader institutional landscape. The third concerns “the value of values” and the particular ways in which they can inform and enrich institutional research. Our review addresses these questions both by “reaching back” into the institutional tradition and by “reaching across” into the broader and recently resurgent sociological literature on values. We close by discussing a number of promising directions for future research.

This paper explores how players might misuse these communication systems to threaten one another and identifies conditions under which communication improves cooperation despite these threats. A principal plays trust games with a sequence of short-lived agents who communicate. An agent who shirks can still demand pay by threatening to report that the principal deviated. We show how these threats can destroy cooperation. Cooperation is partially restored if there are public signals of the agents' efforts or the principal's transfers\, or if the principal has ongoing bilateral relationships with each agent.

However\, its effectiveness in doing so has fluctuated in the past and little is known of the impacts of a thinning ozone layer on vegetation. Anticipating potential consequences in the future depends on understanding time intervals with heightened UV stress in the past. The largest mass extinction in history at the end of the Permian Period (~252 million years ago) may have been one of these time intervals. Plant fossil records from this crisis show two odd features worldwide. Many pollen grains produced by vanishing woodland seed plants were malformed\, and lycopsids spread their spores frequently as unseparated clusters of four. Heightened UV-B exposure was hypothesized to have caused these abnormalities. Compounds produced by the largest volcanic province in history\, the Siberian Traps\, likely caused prolonged or frequent deterioration of the ozone shield. Using the results of UV-B radiation experiments I will show that the collapse of the ozone layer could explain the abnormalities and extinction patterns in plants observed during the end-Permian biotic crisis.

They are proposed to shunt metabolic flux from glycolysis to anabolic biosynthetic pathways. However\, how the formation of the enzyme assemblies and their sub-cellular locations in the cells are associated with their metabolic functions are largely unknown. In this work\, we show that the enzyme assemblies in glucose metabolism are formed by liquid phase separation in a pathway specific manner. With 4D imaging using the home-built lattice light sheet microscope\, we observe that the membraneless assemblies present liquid droplet properties. Moreover\, we reveal that significant numbers of the enzyme assemblies are in proximity with mitochondria. We also monitor the reversible formation and spatial organization of the enzyme assembly upon the inhibition of mitochondrial metabolism. Our results shed light on how the enzyme assemblies are formed and positioned near cellular organelles to locally and efficiently orchestrate their metabolic functions. We envision that the presented “spatiofunctional” characteristics of the enzyme assemblies in glucose metabolism are an unprecedented starting point for mapping 4D functional metabolic network in live cells.

However\, much traditional instrumentation is either too great in mass\, temperature sensitive\, or prone to degradation for it to be used efficiently in space for such purposes. Researchers working in the Space Research Group at University of Sussex (a research intensive university nestled in rolling hills of England’s South Downs National Park) are developing novel materials and instrumentation which can withstand the extreme environments of space\, and potentially provide answers to many of the most pressing questions in space science today\, such as how did the solar system form\, and where can life arise in planetary systems. Along the way\, they are also applying space research to terrestrial challenges such as ocean mining\, detection of nuclear materials\, monitoring of tribological wear in oil lubricated machinery\, and the development of radioisotope microbatteries. This talk will introduce the importance of radiation detection in space science and detail the current state of the art in semiconductor radiation detection materials (particularly III-Vs) at Britain’s leading academic institute for novel radiation measurement instrumentation.\n\nBIO: Anna M. Barnett is Professor of Space Research and Director of the Space Research Group in the School of Engineering and Informatics at University of Sussex\, UK. She is an experimental physicist with interests in detector physics and instrumentation for space science and extreme terrestrial environments (high temperature\, intense radiation). Her research portfolio covers: space systems\; attitude determination systems and GPS-denied environment navigation instrumentation\; instrumentation for underwater vehicles for ocean mining\; fundamental compound semiconductor material and device research\, with particular emphasis on radiation interactions and single photon noise processes\; instrumentation for space plasma physics\, X-ray astronomy\, and planetary science\; radioisotope microbatteries\; liquid contamination monitoring systems\; radiological and nuclear material interdiction systems\; and more. As of November 2018\, Prof. Barnett holds personal research funding totaling ~$3M in value. She is particularly well known for her expertise in the characterization of novel semiconductor materials (e.g. GaAs\, AlGaAs\, AlInP\, GaInP\, cubic-GaN\, SiC\, Diamond) for photon counting spectroscopy of X-rays and gamma-rays\, and particle counting spectroscopy of electrons and beta particles. Upon promotion to her current position as Professor of Space Research at 33 years of age in February 2018\, Prof. Barnett became the youngest person to have ever held a Professorial Chair at University of Sussex. In 2016\, Prof. Barnett won the prestigious Philip Leverhulme Prize in Engineering. She was also awarded the 2016 University of Sussex Emerging Researcher award for her contributions towards “Improved spacecraft guidance\, navigation\, and control through the understanding of light\". Prof. Barnett obtained her PhD (without corrections) in 2012 at University of Leicester's world-renowned Space Research Centre (part of Dept. Physics and Astronomy) where she was awarded the College of Science and Engineering 2012 PhD prize for \"Exceptional Merit in the Conduct and Outcome of Research\" and was also invited to give a Graduate School Doctoral Prize Inaugural Lecture in 2013. As well as being highly active in research\, Prof. Barnett is actively commercializing many of the technologies underpinned by her work\, and she enjoys collaborating and consulting for numerous commercial organizations in the UK and overseas.

By the dictates of an obscure local law\, Ludwig\, the troupe’s principal comedian\, is able to achieve this end simply by drawing a higher card in a ‘duel’ with his royal rival.

Hilarity ensues\, until at the last moment a startling discovery is made\, sending everything topsy-turvy all over again.

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.

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.

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:52176-12520890@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:20181203T133115 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181208T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181208T140000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Linocuts by Meredith Stern DESCRIPTION:On December 10\, 1948\, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II\, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere.

By the dictates of an obscure local law\, Ludwig\, the troupe’s principal comedian\, is able to achieve this end simply by drawing a higher card in a ‘duel’ with his royal rival.

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.

As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. 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:52176-12520891@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:20181031T093944 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181209T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181209T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Scientist Spotlight DESCRIPTION:Visit with University of Michigan scientists and participate in engaging\, hands-on activities to learn about their cutting-edge research!

Considered one of Chekhov’s theatrical masterpieces\, the play is a study of aimlessness and hopelessness.\n\nIvan Voynitsky\, called Uncle Vanya\, is bitterly disappointed when he realizes that he has sacrificed and wasted his life managing the country estate and business affairs of his former brother-in-law\, Serebryakov\, who\, Vanya discovers\, will never be anything more than a pedantic second-rate academic. Sonya\, Serebryakov’s daughter and Vanya’s assistant\, silently endures her unrequited love for a local physician. Vanya attempts to shoot Serebryakov but misses\, and little changes. Neither of them can give up the work\, however meaningless\, to which they have devoted their lives.

By the dictates of an obscure local law\, Ludwig\, the troupe’s principal comedian\, is able to achieve this end simply by drawing a higher card in a ‘duel’ with his royal rival. However\, Ludwig is then required to assume not only the trappings of royalty\, but also all of its various obligations\, including contracted engagements to marry three different women – much to the chagrin of his fiancé\, Lisa. Hilarity ensues\, until at the last moment a startling discovery is made\, sending everything topsy-turvy all over again.

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.

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.

However\, characteristics of emotion and emotion regulation are more likely to manifest in a specific context within a short period of time. In this presentation\, therefore\, I would like to introduce three studies focused on in-the-moment state-based approaches including (i) ERP investigation on attentional disengagement of individuals with suicidality\, (ii) ecological momentary assessment of mood of individuals with depression\, and (3) effectiveness of immediate intervention through mobile application.

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

In our baseline experiment\, participants learned from experience about one of two unfamiliar tasks\, one more onerous than the other. Some participants were assigned their task by chance just prior to working\, while others knew in advance which task they would face. In a second session conducted hours later\, we elicited those participants' willingness to work at that same task. Relative to participants who knew with certainty which task they would face\, participants assigned to the less-onerous task by chance were more willing to work\, while participants assigned to the more-onerous task by chance were less willing to work. These qualitative results\, and the fact that differences in willingness to work remained hours after initial impressions were formed\, are consistent with the idea that participants mistakenly attributed sensations of positive or negative surprise to the effort cost of their assigned task.

Evolutionary theories suggest that biology and culture co-evolved\, such that a symbiotic relationship exists between biology and culture. In order to adapt to the cultural environment\, throughout development\, human biology may have to become more sensitive to contexts that are most salient (or threatening) to one’s culture. Can we observe such a neurobiological sensitivity to cultural contexts in young children? Through assessments of preschoolers in the US\, China and Japan\, I will determine whether children’s neurobiological systems of stress are differentially sensitive to cultural contexts. By using three different stress paradigms designed to induce challenges that are relevant to their corresponding cultural contexts\, I will examine whether children’s 4-year-old children’s salivary cortisol reactivity is more reactive to psychosocial stressors that are salient in their cultures. These findings are discussed as part of understanding how culture may shape children’s regulation at different levels of processing (emotion expressions\, cortisol\, motor activity). \nBio: Ka is a 5th year PhD student in developmental psychology and clinical science. His research focuses on examining the developmental\, neurobiological and cultural processes underlying early self-regulation.\n\nNick Waters\n\nTitle: Socioeconomic Differences in Kindergartners’ Performance Monitoring: An ERP Investigation\nAbstract: Extensive research has documented relations between socioeconomic status (SES)—comprised of parent educational attainment\, occupation\, and family income—and the development of children’s self-regulation skills. However\, only recently have researchers begun investigating the neural mechanisms underlying these relations. One facet of self-regulation—performance monitoring—can be indexed at the level of electrophysiological activity and has demonstrated measurement reliability in young children. The goal of this study was to investigate relations between components of SES and event-related potentials (ERPs) associated with performance monitoring\, including the error-related negativity (ERN) and error positivity (Pe)\, measured in a sample of kindergarten children during a child friendly Go/No-Go task. Results indicated that family income-to-needs predicted the magnitude of children’s Pe responses\, whereas neither indicator of SES predicted the magnitude of the ERN. Given the Pe reflects the awareness of committing an error\, affective responses to erring\, and processes related to adaptive performance following mistake responses\, these results provoke future investigation as to whether the Pe may be a potential mechanism linking SES to performance differences in assessments of children’s self-regulation.\nBio: Nick is a third-year Ph.D. candidate working with Pam Davis-Kean\, Fred Morrison and\, as a member of the developmental training grant\, Bill Gehring. He received his undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Michigan. His research focuses on understanding the role of contextual factors\, including socioeconomic status and parenting\, in shaping the development of children’s executive functioning and academic skills.

Model networks with a balance between large recurrent excitation and inhibition capture these two features\, and are a popular framework relating circuit structure and network dynamics\, though are traditionally restricted to a single attractor. We analyze paired whole cell voltage-clamp recordings from spontaneously active neurons in mouse auditory cortex slices (Graupner & Reyes\, 2013) showing a network where correlated excitation and inhibition effectively cancel\, except for intermittent periods when the network shows a macroscopic synchronous event. These data suggest that while the core mechanics of balanced activity are important\, we require new theories capturing these brief but powerful periods when balance fails. Recent work by Mongillo et.al. (2012) showed that balanced networks with short-term synaptic plasticity can depart from strict linear dynamics. We extend this model by incorporating finite network size\, introducing strong nonlinearities in the firing rate dynamics and allowing finite size induced noise to elicit large scale\, yet infrequent\, synchronous events. We identify core requirements for system size and network plasticity to capture the transient synchronous activity observed in our experimental data set. Our model properly mediates between the asynchrony of balanced activity and the tendency for strong recurrence to promote macroscopic population dynamics.\n UID:58012-14392459@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58012 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181207T181517 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181210T123000 SUMMARY:Performance:Voice Studio Performance *UPDATED DATE* DESCRIPTION:*This performance was previously listed on Sunday\, December 9th*\n\nSolo and ensemble gems from oratorio repertoire across the centuries\, including works by composers such as Bach\, Beethoven\, Brahms\, Britten\, and Orff.

Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) allows us to perform perfusion measurements without injection of exogenous tracers. The Purpose of this thesis is to implement and improve a Fourier-Transform based Velocity Selective Inversion (FT-VSI) pulse train for Velocity-Selective Arterial Spin Labeling (VSASL) on a 7 T Scanner. Additionally\, to perform Abdominal perfusion Imaging using VSASL on a 3T Scanner. \n\n \n\nMethods: The FT-VSI was calibrated and simulated to check for velocity profiles. It's sensitivities to B0/B1 inhomogeneity and gradient imperfections such as eddy currents were evaluated through phantom studies. A flow phantom was used to test for inversion efficiency . At 3T\, a velocity selective saturation(VSS) pulse was used to image Kidney and Spinal Cord blood perfusion. The tracer kinetic properties of VSS pulses for renal and spinal cord perfusion were characterized.\n\n \n\nResults: Phantom results of the proposed FT-VSI pulse train demonstrated high correlation to B0/B1 field inhomogeneity. A high T2* decay was observed at 7T. Through Simulations\, the FT-VSI was improved for higher velocity selectivity and shorter length of pulse to counteract this decay. Eddy current effects were highly controllable by introducing gaps between consecutive gradient pulses. At 3T\, ASL images collected at various labeling delays after the VSS pulse. ASL values such as blood volume(BV)\, Blood Flow(BF)\, Bolus Arterial Transit time (ATT) and bolus width were estimated by fitting a two compartment models. The Kidney perfusion values (Medulla and cortex) were in agreement with literature values. Although Lower perfusion and blood volume in the spinal cord resulted in poor fits\, Spinal cord flow noticeably did not experience a delay in the label arrival\n\n \n\nConclusion: A FT-VSI pulse train was demonstrated on a 7T to be a suitable labeling module for VSASL with robustness of velocity selective profile to gradient imperfections but not to B0/B1 field inhomogeneity. Application of velocity selective pulses for abdominal imaging were demonstrated at 3T.\n\n\nChair: Dr. Luis Hernandez-Garcia UID:58023-14392479@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58023 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Gerstacker Building - 1117 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181225T123008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181210T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181210T163000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Just getting started building a resume?

I will describe two such approaches and the insights attained to date. RNA-MaP developed by the Greenleaf lab at Stanford allows us to determine thermodynamic and kinetic rules for RNA binding by RNA binding proteins\, and provides testable models for cellular RNA/protein interactions and additional biophysical and evolutionary insights. HT-MEK (High-throughput Mechanistic Enzyme Kinetics)\, a new microfluidics methodology developed by the Fordyce lab at Stanford\, allows us to obtain quantitative kinetic and thermodynamic data for thousands of enzyme variants\, in a small fraction of the time and at a minute fraction of the cost of traditional biochemical approaches. Our initial studies on an Alkaline Phosphatase superfamily member provide the first comprehensive functional landscape for an enzyme\, delineating function throughout an enzyme scaffold. Studies on this and additional systems are needed to understand enzyme function\, to reveal the action of drugs and allosteric effectors\, and to develop rules to engineer new enzymes and pathways at will. Most generally\, quantitative\, high-throughput biochemical methodologies will usher in a post-genomic era in biology that is grounded in biochemical understanding and powered by quantitative physical models.\n \n \n \n \n \nDaniel Herschlag (Stanford University) UID:51012-11941994@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51012 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181210T181548 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181210T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181210T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Searching for Dark Matter with Paleo-Detectors DESCRIPTION:A large experimental program is underway to extend the sensitivity of direct detection experiments\, searching for the interaction of Dark Matter with nuclei\, down to the neutrino floor. However\, such experiments are becoming increasingly difficult and costly due to the large target masses and exquisite background rejection needed for the necessary improvements in sensitivity. We investigate an alternative approach to the detection of Dark Matter-nucleon interactions: Searching for the persistent traces left by Dark Matter scattering in ancient minerals obtained from much deeper than current underground laboratories. We estimate the sensitivity of paleo-detectors\, which extends far beyond current upper limits for a wide range of Dark Matter masses.\n UID:53527-13394612@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53527 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180820T112605 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181210T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181210T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Information Session DESCRIPTION:Students interested in majoring or minoring in PitE must attend an Information Session.

Begen DESCRIPTION:Home health care (HHC) has become popular and attracted substantial attention from researchers and practitioners due to its major advantages over traditional ways of treatment. One of the primary advantages of HHC is the quality of care. In HHC\, a patient receives one-on-one attention\, whereas in a typical health unit\, a single staff is usually responsible for caring multiple patients. Another advantage of HHC is the cost. For example\, cost to care terminally ill patients in an acute-care hospital is estimated to be 40% more expensive than cost of the same care in a hospital-based palliative-care unit and over 10 times more expensive than HHC. In 2012\, over 2.2 million Canadians received some levels of HHC services. HHC has become a pressing issue for healthcare policy makers both in Canada and around the world\, especially with an aging population. Providing a HHC service comes with many challenges. For example\, caregivers travel times are significant as reports show that caregivers in the US have travelled twice the distance of UPS delivery drivers in 2010. One of the biggest challenges in HHC is to match caregivers and patients and come up with a good scheduled that is feasible\, cost efficient and acceptable for medial and patient needs. One way to overcome these challenges is to use mathematical modelling and generate least costly schedules that will determine caregiver to patient assignments and routing of caregivers by considering constraints of the system. In this talk\, we will describe the challenges and present of some of our projects in HHC scheduling.\n\nThis talk is based on joint works with Bahman Naderi\, Gregory S. Zaric and Vahid Roshanaei.\n\nMehmet A. Begen is an associate professor of management science in the Ivey Business School at the Western University. Besides Ivey\, he is cross-appointed at the departments of Statistical & Actuarial Sciences and Epidemiology & Biostatistics at the Western. Mehmet's research interests are management science/analytics applications\, data-driven approaches and in particular scheduling and operations management in healthcare. He is a Certified Analytics Professional (CAP)\, worked in management consulting before his PhD studies and is a recipient of Canadian Operational Research Society (CORS) Practice Prize. Mehmet is currently serving as the president of CORS and visiting Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan for his sabbatical.\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:58168-14435438@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58168 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Engineering,Industrial and Operations Engineering,Medicine,seminar LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering - 1123 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181011T082859 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181210T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181210T180000 SUMMARY:Other:FLAS Fellowship Info Session DESCRIPTION:Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships provide tuition and stipend to students studying designated foreign languages in combination with area studies or international aspects of professional studies.

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.

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:52176-12520893@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:20181206T101620 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181211T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181211T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beautiful Bugs DESCRIPTION:Beautiful Bugs\, the holiday conservatory exhibit at Matthaei\, features large-scale graphic representations of butterflies\, moths\, beetles\, and other multi-legged creatures that inhabit the world’s ecosystems.

The accuracy of predictive radiation transport simulations are limited by the accuracy of the Monte Carlo simulation codes and underlying nuclear data. A subcritical benchmark measurement is a high-quality subcritical measurement in which all physical parameters and uncertainties are well characterized to a high degree of accuracy\, and which is peer reviewed and compiled with other benchmark experiments into a database such as the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP). Benchmark measurements are therefore trusted to provide accurate comparisons between experimental and simulated data\, for nuclear data and radiation transport code validation purposes. Critical benchmarks are plentiful\, but are not sensitive to correlated neutron parameters in the way that the handful of existing subcritical benchmarks are. This work demonstrates how we can apply subcritical neutron multiplication measurements and simulations to better validate relevant nuclear data and radiation transport computational methods currently used for nuclear nonproliferation and safety applications. The work encompasses the entire process of an advanced subcritical measurement\, from the earliest planning stages to the final analysis and comparison to simulated results. Both the Critical and Subcritical 0-Power Experiment at Rensselaer (CaSPER) measurement\, a novel advanced subcritical measurement\, and the SCRαP measurement\, a state-of-the-art subcritical benchmark measurement\, campaigns have been completed. Simulations of LANL ICSBEP benchmark-quality reflected plutonium (BeRP) ball subcritical measurements have been conducted using various radiation transport codes that take into account the correlated physics of fission neutrons. Comparisons of both the results and the underlying neutron multiplicity models applied by the codes have been investigated\, as well as new methods of applying comparisons of these subcritical neutron multiplication inference measurements and the associated simulations to nuclear data and computational methods validation. Optimization algorithm frameworks have been applied to both nuclear data evaluation based on subcritical neutron multiplication inference benchmarks\, and the design of subcritical neutron multiplication inference benchmarks.

Physicians are currently unable to diagnose metastasis until disseminated tumor cells affect the function of a target organ as a secondary tumor. This dissertation describes a novel approach where implantable biomaterial scaffolds are used to recruit metastatic tumor cells for early detection prior to colonization of solid organs. This recruitment of tumor cells to a defined site can not only serve as a platform for detection\, but can also have therapeutic effects and be used as a platform to study metastatic processes. This dissertation describes work in each of these three areas including using an implantable biomaterial scaffold for early detection\, therapeutic benefit\, and a platform to study metastasis. The therapeutic benefit of scaffolds was demonstrated by scaffold implantation significantly enhancing disease-free survival in a murine model of triple negative breast cancer. Myeloid derived suppressor cells were the key population of immune cells whose capture at the scaffold and reduction in the spleen and primary tumor lead to enhanced survival. In an effort to probe the contributions of various immune cell types to the formation and maintenance of the pre-metastatic and metastatic niche in vivo\, a gene delivery approach was utilized to alter the immune microenvironment of the scaffold and investigate the recruitment of tumor cells\, finding reduced immune and tumor cell recruitment with IL-10 delivery and developing a model of tumor cell recruitment that is dependent upon the proportion of each immune cell type in the niche. Additional efforts to use the scaffold to study metastasis included studying scaffold captured tumor cells relative to tumor cells derived from other locations. Scaffold captured tumor cells were a highly aggressive population of metastatic tumor cells similar to those found in a metastatic lung\, underscoring the use of the scaffold as a sampling location for metastatic disease that is reflective of tumor cell phenotype in solid organs. Next\, biomaterial scaffolds were also validated in transgenic models of both breast and pancreatic cancer to identify immune dysregulation as a function of tumor burden\, recruit tumor cells\, and to reduce tumor burden. Finally\, non-invasive ultrasound imaging and subsequent spectral analysis techniques were applied to identify changes in the scaffold associated with tumor burden and tumor cell recruitment. Taken together\, this body of work supports that the implantable biomaterial scaffold technology provides a robust and novel approach for the early detection of metastatic disease in both breast and pancreatic cancer\, therapy to divert both pre-metastatic niche forming immune cells and tumor cells themselves to an ectopic site and away from solid organs\, and as a platform to study mechanisms of the pre-metastatic niche and metastasis.\n\nChair: Dr. Lonnie Shea UID:57815-14314713@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57815 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Research LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 10 - Research Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181108T105658 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181211T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181211T220000 SUMMARY:Other:Used Book Sale 2018 DESCRIPTION:The University Library is selling several thousand gently used books\, including duplicate or superseded titles and other books not needed for the collection.

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.

Just do it!” These phrases are commonly uttered to skilled individuals just before a performance. Many people have the intuition that exerting too much control over well-learned actions can be harmful\, especially when under pressure to perform. This effect can be demonstrated experimentally by manipulating participants’ attentional focus and/or inducing performance pressure via monetary incentives. At the same time\, most day-to-day activities clearly benefit from goal-directed cognitive control and enhanced motivation. Further\, training regimes and coaching often make use of explicit\, reflective instruction to augment performance. How do the mechanisms of cognitive control and motivation both support and potentially hamper the activity of neural systems needed for successful performance? This question is explored in a variety of studies using functional neuroimaging\, non-invasive brain stimulation\, behavioral studies\, and computational modeling.

The \"send-down\" program\, however\, failed dismally and had detrimental impacts on the zhiqing generation’s life courses. Despite its failure\, the zhiqing’s memory of their sent-down years is a mixture of grievance\, resentment\, self-congratulation\, nostalgia\, and heroism. Drawing on various data collected through interviews\, ethnography\, archival research\, and textual analysis (2013-2018)\, Professor Xu examines their memory to explore the mentality and political views of this generation of “Chairman Mao’s children\,” who have inherited the legacy of the Mao years and have to reconcile it with the sea changes in the post-Mao society\, and theorize the relations between generation\, class\, and memory. \n \n Bin Xu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Emory University. His research interests lie at the intersection of politics and culture. He is the author of \"The Politics of Compassion: The Sichuan Earthquake and Civic Engagement in China\" (Stanford University Press\, 2017)\, which has won two book awards from the American Sociological Association. His research has also appeared in leading sociological and China studies journals. He is currently writing a book and a few related articles on the collective memory of China’s “educated youth” (zhiqing) generation—the 17 million youths sent down to the countryside in the 1960s and 1970s.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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. \n\nBIO\nNeel Joshi is an Associate Professor of Biological Engineering at the Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and also a Core Faculty member at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. He completed his PhD at UC Berkeley in the lab of Matt Francis and a postdoc at Boston University in the lab of Mark Grinstaff before starting a position at Harvard. He is broadly interested in topics related to biologically inspired materials\, protein engineering\, self-assembly\, and biointerfaces. His group works at the intersection of biomaterials science and synthetic biology. Recent projects in the group have focused on repurposing bacterial biofilms and their matrix proteins for biotechnological and biomedical applications.

At pressures on the order of millions of atmospheres—the kind found deep within our planet—elemental properties that we consider fundamental become categorically altered. For example\, atomic volumes drop sharply\, valence orbital energies can fall below those of core orbitals\, and electronegativities drift from their tabulated ambient pressure values. Even at relatively modest pressures of ~10\,000–100\,000 atm\, which are now readily accessible in the laboratory\, these effects can lead to surprising new chemical bonding\, structures\, and properties\, opening up a new frontier for chemical exploration. In this talk\, I will show how we have harnessed pressure to: (i) exert thermodynamic control to synthesize novel binary bismuth intermetallic compounds that are impossible to synthesize using traditional methods\; and (ii) determine chemically-pure structure–function correlations in jarosite\, a magnetically-frustrated mineral. \n \n \n \n \nJames Walsh\, PhD (Northwestern University) UID:57212-14130895@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57212 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181211T181546 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181211T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181211T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM/AMO Seminar | Single-particle Theory of Optical Scattering from Atomic Clusters DESCRIPTION:We have recently demonstrated that a dense ensemble of two-level atoms driven by an electromagnetic field can be modelled by an effective single quantum system that has a time-varying decoherence rate [1]. This model compares very well to large-scale\, mean-field simulations of the Maxwell-Lindblad equations for a cluster of approximately 4000 atoms. Our effective single particle theory provides a way to model optical interactions in clusters in which computational time can be reduced\, and also a model in which the underlying physical processes involved in the system's evolution are much easier to understand. We use this theory to provide an explanation for the results of scattering experiments [2]\, in which high-intensity\, short-duration\, electromagnetic pulses were scattered off dielectric liquids such as water and carbon tetrachloride\, and produced depolarized emission patterns.\n\n[1] C.

Brophy’s Private Equity Finance course. \nFor this highly anticipated interclass challenge\, each student team will present a detailed proposal for a private-equity takeover of an existing public company. A panel of judges composed of private equity investors and investment practitioners will rank the nine teams by the quality\, comprehensiveness and attractiveness (in terms of projected return on investment) of their public-to-private buyout pitches. Then the judges will narrow the competitive field to two semi-finalists. \nDuring the “Bake-off\,” the Blau Colloquium audience of students\, alumni and sponsors will cast popular votes for the semifinalist team with the best buyout pitch. The winner will receive the Alan Gelband Private Equity Award and take home $7\,500 in prize money. The runner-up will receive $2\,500.\n“Alan Gelband\, an alum and great friend of U-M Ross\, joins us in facilitating student access to opportunities in the private equity and alternative investment field\,” Professor Brophy says. “Graduates of this and other Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance (CVP) courses and competitions are now private equity fund leaders globally and providing continued support for our programs and conferences.” \nAt the beginning of the fall term\, Professor Brophy assigned the nine student teams to select and evaluate a middle-market public company for a possible “model” private-equity acquisition. The students used publicly available financial records to assess the company’s management\, revenue\, profits and market position\, and subsequently to project the estimated return on investment for private equity investors. Based on this extensive information gathering and financial analysis\, each team formulated a buyout pitch for the target company it had chosen.\nAlan Gelband\, BBA ’65\, MBA ’67\, the benefactor for the annual Private Equity Award\, says the public-to-private buyout competition serves both as a learning tool for students and a talent pipeline for the PE industry. \n“This is an important exercise for anyone who wants to get into private equity\, which is a leader of business evolution today\,” says Gelband\, the founder and managing director at Gelband & Co. investment banking.\nOther Ross and CVP alumni and regional private equity investors who volunteer as judges also play a formative role during the annual Bake-off competition by providing constructive feedback on the teams’ buyout pitches and suggesting ways to strengthen their written and oral presentations. This year’s roster of 12 judges includes investors from regional and national private equity firms.

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:52176-12520894@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:20181206T101620 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181212T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181212T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beautiful Bugs DESCRIPTION:Beautiful Bugs\, the holiday conservatory exhibit at Matthaei\, features large-scale graphic representations of butterflies\, moths\, beetles\, and other multi-legged creatures that inhabit the world’s ecosystems.

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.

With this event\, we invite students to share a very important aspect of their culture...\n\nFOOD!\n\n\nStudents are encouraged to prepare and bring in dishes from any culture they want and share those dishes potluck-style by giving out samples. Here\, we're taking a flexible view of what culture means. It could mean food from a certain region or nation\, or just food that you're excited about and want to share with others.\n\nIf you are interested in the prospect of bringing or preparing a taste of your culture (or a culture you're fond of!) then please check out the following Google Sheet and consider booking a spot. You bring the food\, and we'll take care of the rest!\n\nhttps://docs.google.com/a/umich.edu/spreadsheets/d/10T_L9A5RUNHyHVa6_xW9_8VERHnQjhgXrdI0Q7bWqD4/edit?usp=drive_web\n\nOf course\, you don't need to bring food to participate.

The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document\, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.\n\nMeredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence\, RI\, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative\, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social\, environmental\, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017\, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

By studying historical and contemporary self-representations of Afrodescendant groups in printed and digital culture\, Fila's research seeks to recognize the influence of the Afro community and culture to the formation of the Argentine national identity\, and the necessity of locating Afrodescendants as social\, political and cultural active subjects not only throughout the history but also in the present time. In addition to Fila's dissertation research\, she has been developing projects in partnership with Afro-Argentine activist organizations that since the 1990s have been raising their voices against the discrimination suffered.\n\nEmergent Research Series events seek to examine all aspects of the research lifecycle\, with a critical focus on ethics\, access\, and innovation\, and with an interest in emerging topics that are relevant to our local and global communities. These events are aimed at better understanding the new ways in which research relies on the work of libraries and information professionals\, and where cutting-edge research pushes past what libraries currently support.

Such preferences are important in many contexts\, including taxation\, charitable giving\, development\, and globalization. In all of these settings\, understanding behavior requires understanding the personal and social preferences that lie behind it. A theoretical and empirical analysis of these preferences therefore has implications in a host of areas. The primary methodological contributions of the work are the establishment of theoretical links between preferences in various environments and an experimental technique that allows for the collection of richer data about preferences than has heretofore been possible. Beginning with the theoretical and experimental findings\, we can address important questions concerning personal and social preferences\, including: Is observed behavior consistent with the utility maximization hypothesis on which economic theory relies? Can underlying preferences be recovered from observed choices? What is the relationship between personal preferences and social preferences?

Brophy’s Financing Research Commercialization practicum will go before a panel of 24 judges to present their strongest\, most-strategic fund-raising pitches for venture capital financing. \nThe event will kick off at 6 p.m. in the Ross School’s Blau Colloquium. (5th floor\, Blau building) Members and friends of the U-M student\, faculty and alumni community are welcome to attend.\nEach student team has been working closely with the founder(s) of a Michigan-based\, early-stage startup for the entire semester to help jump-start the company’s growth. A number of the participating startups are University spinouts that are commercializing new technologies and research discoveries.\nOver the course of the practicum\, the students have assisted these emerging companies in refining business plans and market-entry strategies\, accelerating the commercialization of research discoveries and disruptive technologies\, and raising venture capital to fund expansion. \nTo move the needle on startup development\, the teams needed to conduct due diligence\, calculate valuation\, develop financial plans and make key strategic decisions. Seasoned mentors helped the students put their textbook theory into practice.\nThe high-stakes 2018 Financing Research Commercialization Pitch Competition represents the culmination of months of hard work and collaboration. Each team stands ready to take on the capstone challenge in hopes of emerging as the top-ranked contestant in the pitch competition.\nThe practicum’s goal\, according to Professor Brophy\, is to give emerging\, fast-growth companies a fresh set of eyes\, minds and hands that can help them progress “the next mile” to raise external equity capital. Students\, in turn\, benefit from their action-based learning experience\, which prepares them to become successful leaders of their own entrepreneurial enterprises in the future.\n“In an action-learning setting\, this unique course succeeds in teaching students and entrepreneurs\, as working partners\, how to prepare and position high-potential\, emerging growth companies to raise their first (Series A) venture capital\, a critical milestone in the company’s growth\,” Professor Brophy explains. “Our objective is to help local market companies directly and to prepare U-M students to be fundable founders and venture investors in their own right.” \nThis year\, a panel of 24 judges will assess and rank the students’ investor pitches and offer helpful feedback. Judging panelists come from the wide range of Michigan venture capital investors: corporations such as Stryker and DowDuPont\, investment partnerships from the Michigan Venture Capital Association\, and an array of angel investment groups and high net worth individuals. \nSince its inception in 2004\, Professor Brophy’s course has provided student-led business-development and capital-raising assistance to 205 early-stage companies\, including 50 ventures that have procured their targeted funding. More than 1\,100 U-M students have gone through the practicum and become part of the Michigan Ross Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance (CVP) “Next Mile to Funding” venture capital network.

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:52176-12520895@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:20181228T063008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181213T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181213T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Special Education Job Fair DESCRIPTION:Special Education Job Fair\n - Paraprofessionals\n - Special Education Teachers\n - School Social Workers\n - School Psychologists\n - Speech Pathologists UID:57821-14316849@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57821 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:36745 Marquette, Westland, Michigan 48185, United States CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181213T091432 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20181213T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20181213T100000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Testing Scenario Library Generation for CAV Evaluation based on Reinforcement Learning Techniques DESCRIPTION:Details TBA\n\nShuo Feng is a PhD student in the Department of Automation at the Tsinghua University.

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 complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document\, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern.
