She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

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.

His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511085@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Philosophy,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Jan and David Brandon Family Bridge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190117T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190117T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proof: The Ryoichi Excavations DESCRIPTION:A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work \nThe story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs.

Our survey\, however\, was not the first investigation of Notion. Several earlier projects conducted limited excavations within and around the city. While preliminary results of these excavations have been published\, there have been no detailed artifact studies. This talk will present the preliminary results of an ongoing project that uses museum collections and archival documents related to these previous projects to complement what we know about Notion from our survey.\n\n(2) Frankl:The Western Argolid Regional Project (WARP) is an Intensive\, siteless pedestrian survey investigating a 30 km² area of the Inachos River Valley in Greece’s North-East Peloponnese. The project seeks a diachronic understanding of the city of Argos’ hinterland with attention to settlement patterns\, land-use\, and microregional paths of movement. WARP conducted three field seasons between 2014 and 2016 and has now moved into the first stages of data analysis and publication. This brown bag will highlight the project’s methodologies as well as its initial analysis of Roman period data (1st BCE-7th CE). Our analysis of the Roman period begins with the examination of landscape-wide artifact distributions. These distributions are rendered at multiple chronological scales with attention to different artifact function types and measures of diversity. Additionally\, these findings will be contextualized with other survey data collected in the region\, which remains one of the most extensively investigated areas in Greece. WARP’s findings can\, thus\, revise and add further texture to existing narratives of Roman Imperialism.

I will describe a series of projects designed to shed light on these open questions\, with a focus on how to produce cool atomic and warm photo-ionized gas at high velocities. One idea is to precipitate the cool gas from the super-heated hot phase on scales outside the host galaxy. Another option is to directly accelerate the cool gas from the galaxy with momentum injection\, perhaps provided by radiation pressure on dust\, cosmic rays\, or a putative fast\, hot wind. I'll highlight challenges on both the observational and theoretical fronts\, and connect to observational constraints on physical scales ranging from the host galaxy's molecular clouds to its circumgalactic medium.\n\nShould you require any reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event\, please contact Stacy Tiburzi at 734-764-3440 or stibu@umich.edu.

Jewell Research Scientist\, Aerospace Systems Directorate US Air Force Research Laboratory Wright-Patterson AFB\, Ohio\n\nThe boundary layer state (e.g. laminar\, turbulent\, or transitional) is a critically important factor in hypersonic vehicle design\, with profound effects on heat flux\, skin friction\, drag\, and control characteristics. In particular\, higher thermal loads\, by a factor of four or more\, may result from the increased heat transfer due to turbulent flow. Nevertheless\, hypervelocity boundary layer transition remains difficult to simulate or predict\, especially under realistic flight conditions\, and the mechanisms leading to instability are not well understood for many flow regimes.\n\nIn this seminar\, I present results from experimental and computational investigations focused on bridging the gap between ground-based aerodynamic experiments and the external aerodynamics of hypersonic flight. First\, I discuss a fundamental problem in compressible real-gas flow: measuring and characterizing the laminar to turbulent transition process in boundary layer flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium at high enthalpy. In this flow regime\, where the second or Mack mode instability dominates for slender\, cold-wall cases\, nonequilibrium effects for certain species (in our work\, carbon dioxide) can actually suppress transition through the absorption of energy from acoustic disturbances through vibrational relaxation. We measure the propagation and growth of turbulent spots within the boundary layer\, characterize transition delay for flows in air with increasing mass fractions of carbon dioxide\, and also investigate the efficacy of gas injection mechanisms into the hypervelocity boundary layer for inhibiting second mode transition. Finally\, recent results relevant to current challenges in hypersonics research are surveyed\, including a computational re-assessment of a landmark study on blunt-body transition\, hypersonic facility design and optimization\, and non-intrusive optical measurement techniques.\n\nBiography:\n\nJoe Jewell is a Research Scientist in the Hypersonics Branch at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base\, Ohio\, where he works through Spectral Energies\, LLC\, and previously held a National Research Council postdoctoral fellowship. He graduated from the California Institute of Technology with a double major in Aeronautics and Medieval History\, and completed a master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan before winning the Rhodes Scholarship\, which he used to earn a second master’s degree\, in hypersonics\, at the University of Oxford in the UK. Joe returned to Caltech and completed his Ph.D. in Aeronautics in 2014\, supported by the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship\, the Boeing Fellowship\, and the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Graduate Scholarship.\n\nHe serves on the AIAA Aerodynamic Measurement Technology Technical Committee\, as well as the NATO Working Group on Hypersonic Boundary Layer Transition Prediction.

Thus\, understanding the factors promoting high diversity in this region is central to biogeography and macroecology. Although some studies focused on understanding environmental factors associated with global patterns of diversity have revealed strong effects of contemporary climate and energy availability on such patterns\, some have had limited success in predicting species richness in montane areas\, where many range-restricted species are concentrated. Because present-day diversity reflects not only contemporary and local conditions but also historical and regional processes\, the high diversity of birds in the Neotropics birds may be partly explained by high opportunities for evolutionary diversification. Therefore\, an adequate understanding of tropical biodiversity requires a link between ecology and evolutionary biology to consider mechanisms promoting species coexistence as well the influence of processes of speciation\, extinction\, and dispersal. In this talk I will explore evolutionary hypotheses posed account for replacement of related species along elevational gradients\, one of the patterns accounting for high beta diversity in tropical mountains. I will also present examples of my studies on biogeography\, and speciation of Neotropical vertebrates to illustrate historical processes that may have led to their high diversity\, including the role of changes in migratory behavior in speciation in birds\, and the influence of asynchronous breeding seasons resulting from spatial variation in climate driving population divergence in birds and amphibians.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/vJuBV34tcYM UID:49658-11487543@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49658 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Environment,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190116T120312 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190117T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foamed Glass Aggregate: An Ultra-Lightweight Fill and Insulation Alternative DESCRIPTION:Foamed Glass Aggregate (FGA) is a lightweight fill and insulation alternative that has been widely used in Europe over the past three decades for roadway\, commercial\, and residential construction.

In mammalian synthetic biology\, we try to emulate that with synthetic molecular circuits and program new cellular functions\, which holds great promise for basic research and biomedicine. Synthetic circuits have largely relied on gene regulation and especially transcriptional control. However\, many natural pathways operate at the post-translational level\, and synthetic protein circuits could offer advantages such as faster operation\, direct coupling to more signaling pathways\, and compact encoding on a single transcript. Having already engineered proteases into building blocks for protein circuits\, I will continue to perfect the platform in four key directions. I will establish more sensors that transduce diverse endogenous inputs into protease activity\, enhance the signal processing power of my protease circuits\, develop an accompanying RNA viral vector for safe and non-mutagenic delivery where protease circuits serve as both the \"driver\" and the \"passenger\"\, and validate and optimize my therapeutic circuits in more cancer-relevant models. I envision a general-purpose platform (i.e.\, “programming language”) for the rational design\, robust implementation\, and safe delivery of mammalian synthetic circuits that will facilitate both basic research and biomedical applications.\n\nXiaojing Gao\, Ph.D.\, is a Helen Hay Whitney Foundation/HHMI Postdoctoral Fellow at Caltech University UID:59698-14780078@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59698 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190107T161458 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190117T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Once and Future Worker: How the Consumerist Consensus Led America Astray\, and How to Recover DESCRIPTION:In his new book\, The Once and Future Worker\, Manhattan Institute scholar Oren Cass challenges our basic assumptions about what prosperity means and where it comes from. The nation’s economic consensus has long regarded the economy as a “pie” to be grown and divided amongst consumers\, but rather than produce a rising tide that lifts all ships\, this “economic piety” has led to decades of stagnant wages\, a labor-force exodus\, too many unstable families\, and crumbling communities. The fault doesn’t all lie with the Left or the Right\, but with a centrist economic model that abandoned the interests of workers\, who provide the foundation for a prosperous society. Cass explains where we went wrong and how reorienting public policy around the interests of workers rather than consumers flips the national debate on its head―or\, rather\, returns it to its feet—with implications for the environment and organized labor\, trade and immigration\, education and the safety net\, and proposals like “free college” or a “universal basic income.” UID:58898-14576212@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58898 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Poverty LOCATION:Weill Hall (Ford School) - Annenberg Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190117T181530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190117T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Visualizing Ultrafast Electron Dynamics at Catalytic Surfaces. DESCRIPTION: \n Directly observing electron dynamics at surfaces is required to reveal the material properties that determine efficiency during energy conversion catalysis. Toward this goal\, we have developed a tabletop instrument for femtosecond X-ray spectroscopy of surfaces. This method combines the benefits of X-ray absorption\, such as element\, oxidation\, and spin state specificity\, with surface sensitivity and ultrafast time resolution\, having a probe depth of only a few nm and time resolution faster than 100 fs. Using this technique\, we study the electron dynamics in a number of catalytically relevant metal oxides. Specifically\, Fe2O3 is an earth-abundant semiconductor with a band gap ideally suited for solar light harvesting\, but its catalytic performance is low due to surface electron trapping. In these studies\, we show that surface trapping occurs in less than 1 ps. Surprisingly this process is not sensitive to Fe2O3 surface morphology\, indicating that electron trapping is not influenced by surface defects. Instead\, ultrafast trapping occurs by the interactions of the free electrons with the lattice nuclei via a process known as small polaron formation. In contrast to Fe2O3\, CuFeO2 is a closely related earth-abundant photocatalyst\, which can reduce CO2 using sunlight. Specifically\, we have recently shown that CuFeO2 is a selective catalyst for photo-electrochemical CO2 reduction to acetate. However\, the role of electronic structure and charge carrier dynamics in this process has not been well understood. Using ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy\, it is possible to track electrons and holes independently in the Fe 3d\, Cu 3d\, and O 2p states comprising the band structure of this photocatalyst. Results show that photocatalytic activity is related to ultrafast hole relaxation leading to spatial charge separation in the layered CuFeO2 lattice\, which cannot occur in Fe2O3. This ability to elucidate site-specific charge carrier dynamics in real time provides important criteria for the rational design of catalysts for efficient solar energy harvesting based on their underlying photophysics. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nL.

Through a first-of-its-kind initiative\, a collective of the Kresge Foundation\, the Detroit Public Schools Community District\, and the University of Michigan will establish a “Cradle-to-Career” campus at Marygrove College on Detroit's Northwest Side. The campus will integrate pre-kindergarten through graduate level programs in an effort to establish a pedagogy of rigor\, equity\, and social justice at the intersection of public education and neighborhood revitalization in Detroit. \n\nAs Detroit’s resurgence pushes beyond the boundaries of greater Downtown\, a daunting question remains: what about the schools? In conjunction with concentrated public and private investments in the city’s Fitzgerald neighborhood\, the Cradle-to-Career initiative signifies the importance of comprehensive community development that acknowledges the place-based nature of residential segregation and systemic disinvestment. With the Kresge Foundation’s $50 million commitment—the largest investment in any single neighborhood in the nation— this partnership seeks to transform access to upward mobility\, emphasizing the importance of beginning with Detroit’s youth in an effort to institutionalize equity from the ground up.

Those that the knife does not cure are cured by fire. Those that fire does not cure\, must be considered incurable.” Hippocrates in 370 BC made the first recorded mention of the use of heat as a therapeutic. To this day\, the effect of temperature on the body is of interest to clinicians\, athletes\, researchers\, and perhaps anyone that has lived through Georgia summers or Michigan winters. The body maintains temperature homeostasis by the process of thermoregulation. The body’s ability to thermoregulate is an important coping mechanism to withstand various physiological states\, such as fever\, and environmental exposures such as the weather. The cardiovascular (CV) system plays a vital role in thermoregulation because of its influence on heat transfer via forced convection and conduction by changes in blood distribution\, blood velocity\, and proximity of tissues. It remains unclear how the allocation of blood in various compartments (such as the innermost core\, fat\, muscle\, and skin) changes with temperature. Challenges in measuring core vasculature have resulted in a lack of empirical information regarding how it might change with core temperature. Therefore\, to fully understand the CV system’s role in thermoregulation\, this thesis focuses on using murine models to study the effect of temperature on core vasculature. The overall purpose is to provide a novel and physiologically accurate approach to studying thermoregulation by incorporating structural and functional changes in the CV system occurring in the core. Using murine models and MRI\, we noninvasively quantified structural and functional vascular response in core arteries and veins to increasing core body temperature. We also studied the effects of sex and age on the CV response to increasing temperature. Using a PID-controlled heater to blow hot air across the animals\, core temperature was controlled from mild hypothermia (35 °C) to mild hyperthermia (38 °C). At each temperature\, we imaged three to four locations of the body from head-to-toe\, and quantified blood flow and velocity\, vessel area\, and\nmeasured circumferential cyclic strain of the core vessels. Overall\, we have shown: 1) that increases in flow occur in most arteries and veins\, which is opposite to current hypotheses regarding the venous response\; 2) that the magnitude of increased flow varies based on anatomical location\; and\, 3) that the increase in flow sometimes involves cross-sectional area and velocity and other times involves only one or the other. These vascular responses are also influenced by sex and age. It is important to incorporate the cardiovascular changes occurring in the core into future bioheat or computational fluid dynamics modeling because blood flow is critical in heat\ngeneration and transfer in vivo. This research can help researchers\, clinicians\, and others interested in temperature’s effect to better model and predict cardiovascular outcomes.

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.

A ubiquitous effect of leaf wetness on plant water balance is the interference of the water droplets with the leaf energy balance\, which increases leaf albedo and emissivity and decreases leaf temperature through droplet evaporation. This in turns affects the vegetation carbon uptake rate\, with potential consequences for the whole global carbon cycle. Here\, I use the specific example of dew deposition to understand how leaf wetness affects water and CO2 fluxes of plants. First\, I will present a simple leaf energy balance that characterizes the effect of deposition and the evaporation of dew on transpiration and carbon uptake. The model is driven by five common meteorological variables and is used to explore the tradeoffs between energy\, water\, and carbon balances for leaves of different sizes across a range of environmental conditions. I will then present results from a laboratory experiment\nwhere Colocasia esculenta leaves were misted with isotopically enriched water to mimic canopy interception. Leaf water isotopes and water potential measurements corroborates the results of the model.

Despite more than five decades of research\, the coupled long-term geologic history of seawater temperature and δ18O remains a topic of intense debate. The problem exists because the δ18O values measured in marine sedimentary rocks (e.g.\, carbonates\, cherts) reflect both their temperature of formation and the δ18O of the seawater from which they formed. This duality has prevented a unique interpretation of a long-term secular increase in δ18O values recorded in marine sedimentary rocks\, which can be used to infer either much warmer (>70°C) early oceans\, much more 18O-depleted seawater\, or a combination of the two. We addressed this problem with a new record of δ18O in iron oxides formed in shallow marine environments through time. The new record shows that the long-term secular increase observed in the δ18O values of various marine precipitates is due to enrichment of seawater in 18O rather than in a gradual cooling of Earth’s oceans. The record suggests that Earth’s climate has been mostly warm and stable over the past 3.5 billion years\, implying the existence of efficient climate stabilization feedbacks. A possible driver of the long-term increase in seawater δ18O values is decreasing heat production in the Earth’s interior through time and its effect on seafloor spreading rates and oceanic plate lifetimes. As the water-rock interactions that govern seawater δ18O through time are also those that drive the chemical evolution of the oceans\, a robust seawater δ18O record importantly also informs the long-term evolution of seawater chemistry.

Despite many eyewitnesses claims that she was intentionally murdered by the bulldozer driver\, the American administration never asked for an independent inquiry\, and the case was classified and forgotten. \n \n Five years later\, director Simone Bitton is somehow doing what a court should have done. \"RACHEL\" is a deep cinema investigation into the death of a young unknown girl\, made with a rigour and scope normally reserved for first-rate historical characters. It gives word to all the people involved in Rachel's story\, from Palestinian and international witnesses to Israeli military spokespersons and investigators\, doctors\, activists and soldiers linked to the affair. The film begins as a classical documentary\, but very soon it develops and transcends its subject\, transforming into a cinematographic meditation on youth\, war\, idealism and political utopia. Palestine\, the reality of which is filmed close-up\, becomes a metaphor - a tomb for a child of today. \n\n---\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

But these interventions have had mixed impacts: in addition to perpetuating the West’s dominance\, these technologies are often simply rejected by citizens in the developing world because they do not embody relevant values and priorities. But in recent years the international development landscape has changed. The players involved have diversified\, now including international and local NGOs\, social entrepreneurs and innovators\, venture capitalists\, universities\, and developing world governments. And\, there have been growing calls to ensure that interventions are “evidence-based”\, preferably deployed on the basis of large-scale\, quantitative evidence and even randomized controlled trials. How have these changes affect the pro-poor technology landscape and its politics? What are the implications for citizens in the developing world? In this paper I explore these questions by focusing on the politics of the sanitary pad in India. In recent years\, “period poverty” has come to be seen as an important development issue\, with sanitary pads becoming the main solution. Rather than the result of systematic and unbiased evidence gathering\, however\, I argue that this problem and solution are the result of the new credibility regimes that underlie development governance today. I pay attention to how and why particular kinds of interventions are recognized and validated by public and private\, large and small\, development initiatives. Indeed\, even the definitions of knowledge and expertise are shaped by these priorities. The national and international media play important roles in influencing the sanitary pad intervention as well. Finally\, I explore how these politics shape the role\, rights\, and responsibilities of the female citizen in India.\n\nShobita Parthasarathy is Professor of Public Policy and Women's Studies\, and Director of the Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy Program\, at University of Michigan.

In this talk\, I'll present new research on argument mining\, a relatively new area of study in NLP that focuses less on extracting from text WHAT people think or feel\, but rather analyzing argumentative text to understand WHY they do so. Specifically\, I will first present some of our new research on the automatic analysis of informal\, user-generated arguments in which we aim to expose the intended underlying structure of the argument. Next\, I'll present our research that examines arguments on a public debate forum to understand what makes one argument more convincing than another. \n\nBio: Claire Cardie is the John C.

While trans issues were hardly on the political radar in the 1990s and 2000s\, trans communities today have become a major target of exclusionary laws and practices.\n\nLanguage has played a major role in the uncertain place of trans communities in contemporary American society\; indeed\, being trans is as much about language as it is about clothing\, hairstyles\, and medical interventions. We can see the crystallization of linguistic conflict on college campuses in particular\, where discussions of names\, pronouns\, and identity labels have led to national\, and even international\, debates on questions like whether people should be given the power to select the pronouns others should use when talking about them. Yet Linguists have only rarely weighed in on these issues on the broad scale\, despite possessing a number of tools and principles that can help us understand the language reform efforts in which trans people are engaged.\n\nThis talk focuses on three domains of language in order to explore the critiques being levied by trans language reform activists\, the responses to those critiques by non-trans people\, and how linguistics might inform these debates. The first aspect of language discussed is the English pronoun system – the highest profile and perhaps most contentious aspect of trans language reform in the United States. I discuss the political discourses surrounding pronoun practices and how trans activists are pushing not only for new pronouns\, but new ways of thinking and talking about pronouns. The second linguistic issue is talk about the body. While self-identification is increasingly recognized as determining a person’s social gender\, bodies are typically seen as having an “objective truth” that is not susceptible to self-definition. Here I explore the ways trans people are advancing alternative models for understanding “biological sex” that recognizes the highly social nature of human embodiment. The final aspect of linguistic structure discussed here is grammatical gender systems in languages that display much more extensive marking of gender than English does. Here I also reflect on language pedagogy and how the strategies for teaching these languages perpetuates trans exclusion.\n\nEach aspect of language discussed in this talk highlights the material impacts that language has on trans lives. We can draw a direct line between language and trans people’s oppression\, and for this reason we each have a moral obligation to consider the implications of our own language use. The talk concludes with a discussion of the relationship between linguistics and transgender communities\, arguing that the relative absence of trans people from our discipline should push us to consider the potential exclusionary effects of our models of language and how our academic work might be used to empower this still highly marginalized community.

At the same time\, interest in and development of the next generation of nuclear reactors is growing at an unprecedented rate\, and some other nations are building new reactors efficiently. Can the current fleet reduce costs? Will the next generation of designs be \"walkaway safe\" and cost-competitive? What about safeguards and recycling of nuclear fuel? Many new technologies\, including Data Analytics and Machine Learning\, can be impactful in answering these questions. This talk will frame some of the big challenges in nuclear energy and how new technologies are starting to be used. We'll also look to the future in terms of where the biggest impacts are likely to be and what we can do to move quickly.\n\nBio: Rachel Slaybaugh is an Assistant Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California\, Berkeley.

Control of cell-cycle entry and exit has been conceptualized by the restriction point\, a time when cells escape the need for mitogens to complete the cell cycle. Our single-cell microscopy studies discovered instead two parallel and partially redundant pathways to enter the cell cycle out of quiescence and three pathways out of mitosis. In lieu of a sharp restriction point\, we find a progressive stabilization of both increasing CDK4/6 and CDK2 activities when tested by mitogen removal or stress\, a stabilization that ends with an irreversible commitment point driven by multiple positive feedbacks. I will delineate core principles\, molecular mechanisms and timing of this fundamental cell-fate commitment whose abnormal regulation is a main cause for cancer.

This band as been fearlessly revolutionizing the way acoustic music can be presented and played. The band's name has been synonymous with cutting-edge excellence in bluegrass circles since the group's creation. Widely known throughout the music industry for continually redefining the boundaries of acoustic music\, the band has gained legions of loyal fans as a result of both their superlative musicianship and their incendiary live performances. Mountain Heart's music always fell just barely under the bluegrass umbrella\, and now\, from large outdoor folk music\, Americana\, jam band\, and bluegrass festivals\, to sold-out shows opening for Southern rock icons like The Marshall Tucker Band\, The Tedeschi Trucks Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Mountain Heart has been making an undeniable connection with wider audiences. Whenever they come to The Ark\, they tear the house down—and at last year'sAnn Arbor Folk Festival\, they just had a bigger house to tear down.

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.

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.

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.

His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511088@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Philosophy,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Jan and David Brandon Family Bridge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190120T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190120T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proof: The Ryoichi Excavations DESCRIPTION:A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work \nThe story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs.

According to the photographs\, Ryoichi discovered evidence of an automobile culture buried at sites across several continents: Stonehenge\, the Grand Canyon\, and a necropolis in China.

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.

This exhibition explores the gendered and racialized terms upon which great art was defined and assessed\, and the strategy of artists to question the identity and aesthetics of the artist making the art.

American Roots UK hails them as \"the very best of the 21st century’s minimalist and highly original folk music ... a peerless duo.\" Their latest\, \"Fall Away Blues\,\" features new songwriting fused with old-time and country blues themes\, tackling topical subjects such as gun violence and environmentalism as well as age-old questions of place and love. Red Tail Ring \"doesn’t just pay homage to vintage folk and roots music: The Kalamazoo duo breathes new life into it\, channeling the power and charm of seminal material into its own original songs\,\" says west Michigan critic John Sinkevics.\n\nShari Kane and Dave Steele first met in the summer of 1991\, crossing paths as performing blues musicians: Shari was the partner of harmonica legend\, Madcat Ruth (Madcat & Kane)\, while Dave was leading the electric blues band Big Dave and the Ultrasonics. Friends\, neighbors\, fellow musicians and fans have asked over the years\, \"When are you two going to start playing together?\" The truth is\, they've been playing together since their first date. In many ways their playing has developed side by side\, listening to and learning from great acoustic blues guitarists from the past. As an acoustic blues duo\, Shari and Dave throw a four-handed guitar party of original and time-honored blues\, gospel\, swing and ragtime. Steeped in Dave’s smoky vocals\, percussive rhythm\, and innovative lead lines\, and Shari’s crisp picking style\, rootsy leads\, and stinging slidework\, their music has been described as \"street swing and stomp blues\"—like a testament to sounds once heard on the streets of Harlem\, the juke joints of Mississippi\, or from the jug bands of Memphis UID:56707-13967646@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56707 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190120T120018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Bubble Bowl DESCRIPTION:   UID:58643-14831912@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58643 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Pittsburgh CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190120T120011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T133000 SUMMARY:Other:Camp Perry Open DESCRIPTION:Michigan Rifle Team will be competing in the Camp Perry Open at the Civilian Marksmanship Program.  UID:59727-14831749@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59727 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Civilian Marksmanship Program CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180920T112226 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190121T120000 SUMMARY:Other:February 15\, 2019-Michigan in Washington Application Deadline DESCRIPTION:MIW application deadline for regular admission Fall 2019 and early admission Winter 2020.

She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature.

DESCRIPTION:Debates abound about pronouns on class rosters\, the name of the Washington Redskins\, the reclamation of the word “queer\,” trigger warnings\, the connotations of “lady” versus “woman\,” the choice of “black” or “Black” or “African American\,” and telling someone to “check their privilege\,” just to name a few. \n\nWho has the right to tell others how they should and shouldn’t use language—and when?

BDS\, Nonviolence\, and MLK's Legacy in the Middle East DESCRIPTION:“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality\, tied in a single garment of destiny.” -- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. (Nobel Peace Prize\, 1964) \n\nThe legacy of MLK not only demands justice at home\, but justice abroad -- dignity\, socio-economic equality\, and human rights globally. The world's threats were characterized by him as the “triple giant evils” of racism\, poverty\, and militarism. How does that legacy inform the quest for justice in Israel/Palestine today? \n \nThe CMENAS Teach-In Town Hall will explore the implications of MLK's message as it pertains to a particular protest strategy: the BDS (Boycott\, Divestment\, Sanctions) movement in solidarity with Palestinian and Israeli nonviolent activists. More than 100 artists and musicians\, in addition to 37 Jewish groups in 15 countries\, have joined the BDS movement to protest state structures of oppression in Israel deemed \"apartheid\" by many thinkers and activists\, including Nobel Peace Laureates\, Jimmy Carter and Desmond Tutu. \n \nCMENAS hosts three BDS experts to discuss MLK's legacy in the Middle East\, including activists Cindy and Craig Corrie (Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice) and Prof. David Palumbo-Liu (Stanford University). After their brief presentations\, an open exchange will unfold with Q & A and discussion in a Town Hall format. \n \nA luncheon reception will follow the event. Everyone welcome!\n\nFunded by CMENAS Endowment\, International Institute\, Arab & Muslim American Studies\, International Studies (U-M Library)\, Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar\, the Departments of American Culture\, Sociology\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, Women’s Studies\, Anthropology\, and the Humanities Institute.\n \n----\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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.

Real-world systems\, however\, frequently involve larger groups inter-communicating simultaneously. While some of these larger group interactions can be well approximated dyadically\, others are left without a natural mathematical description for study. This talk will present some initial work tailoring concepts of simplicial sets from homology theory to address some of these questions and will demonstrate some simulation-based results with direct implication for communication systems. We will conclude with some discussion of how these perspectives might let us design efficient social groups to best accomplish different types of communication.

We begin with the spatial distribution of 220 notified cases in the at–risk population. Next\, we use the dose-response relationship (established via historical experiments) to convert the observed risk map into an estimated smooth spatial field of local dose. Based on the observed symptomatic cases\, the dose–response model predicts a median of 611 asymptomatic infections (95% range 410 to 1\,084)\, i.e.\, 2.78 (95% range 1.86 to 4.93) asymptomatic infections for each reported case. The estimated peak levels of exposure extend to the north–east from the point source with an increasing proportion of asymptomatic infections further from the source. Our work combines established methodology from model-based geostatistics and dose-response modeling providing a novel approach to study outbreaks. Such predictions (and associated uncertainties) are important for targeting interventions during an outbreak\, estimating future disease burden\, and planning public health response. \n\nJoint work with R.

Our current interests are focused on the synthesis and chemical biology of mammalian and bacterial glycans that are known to engage in biological recognition and signaling events and show a promising therapeutic and diagnostic potential. While chemical synthesis has enabled a better understanding of the role of saccharides in homeostatic and developmental processes\, key obstacles such as suboptimal selectivities in chemical glycosylation reactions await broadly applicable solutions. In this presentation\, I will describe the development of metal-catalyzed methods that capitalize on stereoretentive reactions of anomeric nucleophiles suitable for the formation of C(sp3)-C and C(sp3)-heteroatom bonds. This seminar will also feature selected applications of the glycosyl cross-coupling method\, mechanistic and computational studies that guided new reaction discovery\, and integration with modern automation technologies. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMaciej Walczak (University of Colorado) UID:52430-12706750@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52430 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181010T142931 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190122T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190122T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UROP Finding and Understanding Data Workshop DESCRIPTION:This workshop is for UROP students only.

Mentorship is one effective and rewarding way of supporting the pipeline of folks from underrepresented groups in our fields. In this talk\, I’ll discuss the evidence for prioritizing mentorship in promoting diversity and my own experience with mentorship as a gay woman in STEM.\nAunrika Tucker-Shabazz\n\nHometown: DeKalb\, Illinois\nDegree Program: Ph.D. Student\, Sociology\n\nFighting the Hidden Fees: Unraveling Disciplinary Disparities in Public School Punishment of Young Black Girls\nBlack girls continue in 2018 to be understudied and overlooked by research investigating the impact of criminalizing children through stigmatizing school discipline strategies\, despite being the fastest growing demographic affected by the strictest disciplinary procedures such as expulsion\, indefinite suspension\, arrests\, and referrals to the juvenile system (Girlhood Interrupted: The Erasure of Black Girls’ Childhood [2017]). But Black girls need more attention as subjects outside of the academy and inside our communities. When disciplining young Black girls for minor misbehaviors\, school officials often unevenly distribute the “benefits and disadvantages of doubt” in racially gendered ways that expose Black girls to the criminal justice system as early as pre-school. By exploring the trend of pre-school arrests of Black girls since 2005\, this talk aims at unraveling the hidden tolls Black girls are forced to pay along the school-to-prison pipeline.\nKavitha Lobo\n\nHometown: San Diego\, California\nDegree Program: Master’s Student\, Social Work\n\nCare Not Cure: The Benefits of Deinstitutionalizing Mental Health Care\nAs part of a global social work project I designed\, I was recently immersed in the tiny town of Geel\, Belgium\, which has a 750-year history of deinstitutionalized mental health care. This is practiced in Geel through placing boarders\, the term used for those with mental illness\, with foster families who welcome and accept boarders as they are. In comparing how the Geelian culture has produced and sustained the family foster care system to the cultural attitudes towards mental health care in America\, I will unravel conceptions around alternative modalities of mental health care. In looking at the humanizing\, community-based approach to psychiatric care in Geel I will show how benefits are emphasized in those otherwise seen as burdened and burdens due to their psychological difference.\nSteven M. Smith\n\nHometown: Detroit and St. Clair\, Michigan\nDegree Program: Master’s Student\, Public Administration and Sport Management\n\nOur Most Valuable Things: Connecting with Each Other\, and the Time We Have\nWe in society today need to unravel from the frivolous things that take up our time and connect to the work that we want to do and need to do—the work that is necessary to better our lives and the lives of those who are around us. I want to address why we need to do this: to advance ourselves\, but just as importantly connect to our communities and the people we are surrounded by. It’s no secret that while we are connected through technology like never before\, there is a sense of isolation that many people feel\, and I believe it has to do with our values and the communities that we have drifted away from.

Babcock is Professor Emeritus\, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

While a small but growing body of literature has examined the role of instructor gender at the higher education level\, it typically focuses only on academic outcomes. This paper utilizes a unique data set that includes not only information about student course performance in STEM but also a number of motivation-related measures. We find that having a female instructor narrows the gender gap in terms of engagement and interest\; further\, both female and male students tend to respond to instructor gender. We conclude by discussing the policy implications of these findings.\n\nThe Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar takes place every Wednesday from 8:30 to 10:00am in Weill Hall 3240\, and breakfast is provided.

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.

His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511089@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Philosophy,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Jan and David Brandon Family Bridge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190123T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190123T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proof: The Ryoichi Excavations DESCRIPTION:A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work \nThe story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs.

DESCRIPTION:President Donald Trump has tackled international trade policy during his second year in of office\, just as he promised he would during his 2016 election campaign. Tariffs on steel and aluminum from various countries\, exports from China\, and potentially on automobiles and supply chains are having an effect – including the likelihood that consumers at home will see rising prices in the months and years to come. Renegotiated trade agreements made with South Korea\, Mexico\, and Canada will also change trade outcomes and could in influence corporate decision making in the manufacturing of goods and products. Please join us for an enlightening presentation by Professor Alan Deardorff who will explore these and other changes taking place in trade policy\, and their likely implications for Michigan\, the United States\, and the world!\n\nAlan V. Deardorff is the John W. Sweetland Professor of International Economics and Professor of Public Policy. His research focuses on international trade. Dr. Deardorff and Bob Stern have developed the Michigan Model of World Production and Trade\, which is used to estimate the effects of trade agreements. He is also doing theoretical work in international trade and trade policy. He has served as a consultant to the U.S. Departments of Commerce\, Labor\, State\, and Treasury and to international organizations including the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the World Bank. Dr. Deardorff received his Ph.D. from Cornell University.

National Minorities as a Legal Category in the Czech Republic (and Beyond) at the Time of Rising Nationalism DESCRIPTION:The Czech philosopher Jan Patočka wrote in Europe and the post-European Age that demolition is a certain type of construction. The current rise of nationalism\, the erosion of the rule of law\, and the dismantlement of liberal state institutions in Europe raise concerns about what could be built after that demolition of the European order. While Hungary and Poland have made a sharp right-turn\, the Czech Republic is still at the crossroads. Which way might it go? In this lecture\, Hofmannová will focus on the status of national minorities and discuss the differences between a “conservative” and a “flexible” definition of what constitute a national minority. Does a flexible approach\, advocated by International organizations\, still have a chance to be promoted in Europe? \n \nHelena Hofmannová is an associate professor of constitutional law at Charles University in Prague as well as an adviser to the judge of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic. After the fall of communism\, she has been a pioneer researcher in the field of the legal and social positions of Jewish minorities in the Czech Republic. Recently\, in light of the threats to liberal democracy\, she has lectured on human rights protection and democratic theory\, with a special focus on Europe. Between 2012 and 2014\, she was a member of the Advisory Committee of the Framework Convention on the Protection of National Minorities. In 2018\, she was appointed to the Council of Europe’s European Commission against Racism and Intolerance. She is the author and co-author of several books\, as well as a number of articles. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

In this talk I will discuss this model in the deep infrared limit where the theory has an emergent conformal (reparametrization) symmetry that is broken both spontaneously and explicitly. To study the validity of ETH\, we compute the heavy- light correlation functions of operators in the conformal spectrum of the theory. We compute these correlation functions with and without the contribution of the low energy (Schwarzian) modes\, which are known to be the origin of the chaotic behaviour in this theory. In considering the contributions of the Schwarzian modes we find a weaker form of ETH: while the heavy operator insertions increase the effective temperature perceived by the light insertions\, this effective temperature is proportional to the background temperature and goes to zero with the background temperature. In the case where Schwarzian modes aren’t considered\, we find ETH in limit in which the weight of the heavy operators approach infinity. I will also discuss implications of these results for the states in AdS2 gravity dual.

Consistent with this work\, electrocortical studies demonstrate that alpha\, a neural oscillation\, similarly increases in power during rest and when people engage in self-referential processing. However\, there are substantial individual and cultural differences in alpha power during rest. Here\, we tested whether variation in alpha power could be explained by culture and self-construal. Previous cross-cultural work established that American culture tends to emphasize the autonomy of the self (independence)\, whereas Asian culture tends to emphasize the self in reference to others (interdependence). We hypothesized that alpha power would be greater among Americans than Asians and should increase as a function of independent versus interdependent self-construal. To test these predictions\, we collected data from a total 172 participants and compared Japanese to European Americans (Study 1) and Taiwanese to European Americans (Study 2). In both studies\, we found greater parietal versus frontal alpha power among American participants compared to the two Asian groups. Importantly\, the magnitude of alpha power was highly correlated with self-construal across cultures\, such that more independent and less interdependent people showed greater alpha at rest. This effect in part explained the cultural difference in alpha power. Our findings provide evidence that alpha oscillations may in part underlie cultural variation in self-construal and highlight the promise of alpha oscillations to understand self-referential processing and variation across groups.\n\nClinton McKenna\nSmartening up or dumbing down?

The program’s evolution—and the insights from those participating in it—can teach us much about what usable knowledge looks like on the ground and the ways to make it through collaboration. In this webinar\, James Arnott will recap his research based on examining 120 past NERRS funded projects and interviewing 40 of their participants. The practical lessons derived from this work suggest that teams of researchers and users working together in collaboration might consider a series of seemingly simple—but often difficult to answer questions—in the process of their work. Questions like: Who are the users? What is use? How do you report on use? What strategies lead to use? What are the benefits of usable knowledge? The history of NERRS research accomplishments demonstrates how many and varied answers to these questions emerge and the importance of taking into account careful consideration of that diversity in planning future projects and programs. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nJames Arnott is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan and Associate Director of the Aspen Global Change Institute. James has worked closely with the NERR System during the completion of his doctoral thesis on topics related to science funding\, the use of science\, and climate change adaptation. In 2011\, James was awarded the McCloy Fellowship in Environmental Policy and in 2009 James received a B.A. in Political Science and Economics from Principia College.

Dr. Leupold will examine the relationship between biographical subjects\, the politics of memory and communal boundaries in the region around Lake Van - a geography where collective violence stretches back in time to the Armenian Genocide of 1915 and into the contemporaneous Kurdish conflict. The lecture will begin by reconstructing the history of competing national movements and collective violence in the late-Ottoman period\, and then deconstruct official Armenian\, Turkish and Kurdish accounts to juxtapose ‘official histories’ with their local counter-narratives. \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.

A 2018–2019 Roman Witt Resident\, Kim is creating a multimedia installation work in collaboration with the Stamps School community and composer George Tsontakis that seeks to explore themes around Korean “comfort women”— the female prisoners of the Japanese army during World War II.  Kim states: “Although my installation project was conceived and initiated before my awareness of the #MeToo movement developing in the States and around the world\, it seems to me to be so poignantly connected to the historical plight of women everywhere. While the travails of the Korean ‘comfort women’ are an extreme example of women’s integrity being compromised\, the assault sadly continues on various levels and by different degrees.”\n\nPresented with support from the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) and the Institute for the Humanities.

Berliners have 48 hours to find Coletti and turn in him in for a handsome reward of 100.000 Mark. \n\nLight dinner served at 6:30\, film introduced at 7:00 by Graduate Student Kathryn Holihan of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures.
