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.

His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home\, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker\, Elvis Presley\, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash\, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch\, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings\, Mystery Train\, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

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well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic.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.

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. This provocative and playful series compels viewers to reflect on how photographs and institutions\, such as museums\, shape our knowledge of the past and present.\n\n UID:58559-14511042@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58559 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Special Exhibitions FFW 2nd Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190120T181635 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190120T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190120T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:UMMA Pop Up: Music with Kaitlynn Rodriguez and Christi Burkett DESCRIPTION:Kaitlynn and Christi will combine a vast palette of colors and sounds within their respective instruments of flute and trumpet.

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. UMMA docents will help visitors look through the lens of the four artists’ works to explore the aesthetic choices inherent in abstraction as well as the acts of staining\, pouring\, draping\, —or even taking apart the wall itself—within this charged political context.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58501-14510823@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58501 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121609 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190120T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190120T160000 SUMMARY:Other:UMMA Book Club: The Age of the Internet in Comic Books DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the exhibition Art in the Age of the Internet\, 1989 to Today\, UMMA and Vault of Midnight-Ann Arbor partner to present a book club that will read and discuss three comic books that explore some of the extreme possibilities of life in the age of the internet.

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. 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.

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? Do “superficial” changes in the language we use really matter? What’s at stake in debates about language? \n\nEfforts to render language more respectful and inclusive of all persons are sometimes perceived as policing other people’s language\, and “politically correct” is no longer a neutral term (if it ever really was). In this workshop\, Professor Anne Curzan and Professor Robin Queen discuss the merits and the criticisms of “politically correct” language\, drawing from specific cases that have received national attention as well as significant attention on the University of Michigan campus.

His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home\, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker\, Elvis Presley\, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash\, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch\, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings\, Mystery Train\, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

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.

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.

Her research interests include Mātauranga Māori\, Indigenous knowledge systems\, and exploring meaningful ways of sustaining retention for minoritized people in librarianship.\n\nAs a Māori library student at the University of Washington in 2017\, Andrews did not expect to be able to engage with her culture as part of her professional work. After visiting the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture on campus\, she began to work to restore the mana of the museum's Māori photographic collection and display the toanga in connection to the people and land they came from. Andrews will discuss her work with Māori taonga\, her attempts to identify and care for the Rangatira in the photographs\, and thoughts on challenges for Indigenous peoples within librarianship.\n\nAndrews holds a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences from Auckland University of Technology\; a Master of Library & Information Science from the University of Washington\; and is a candidate for the Master of Indigenous Studies at the University of Otago. \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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gone incognito in the bustling metropolis of Berlin\, Coletti dares the public to play detective--to scan city streets and sweep crowded cafes in search of their elusive prey. 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. Screened in German with English subtitles.

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.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754459@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121619 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paul Rand: The Designer's Task DESCRIPTION:Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity \nPaul Rand was a giant of American design\, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. 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:58560-14511090@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:20190124T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T170000 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.

Since its adoption by American country music\, yodeling has become a world-wide phenomenon and can be heard in many kinds of global popular and fusion music. Yodeling techniques were not unknown in historical China\, but as a distinctive mode of vocal performance\, yodeling is a new phenomenon of fusion music in contemporary China. In this presentation\, Lu Tong will discuss his discovery of yodel\, his subsequent learning\, performance\, research\, and promotion of the practice. He will also perform to demonstrate his yodeling techniques and compositions.\n\nAbout the presenter:\n\nBorn in 1987\, LU Tong was formally trained as a pianist and vocalist at the Tianjin Conservatory of Music\, graduating in 2010. In 2006\, he discovered yodeling\, from since he has been actively studying and promoting it in China. He has become nationally recognized as the first Chinese yodeler\, who now professionally yodels\, composes yodeling works\, and gives lectures and recitals on the music practice.\n\n~ We serve light lunch!

These ideas\, though\, as well as the scholarly narratives that have accounted for haiku’s rise\, are very much a victor’s history\, one formulated by men such as the famous poet Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902). In this talk\, Robert Tuck provides a revisionist history of modern haiku\, highlighting both its widespread use as political discourse in Meiji media and the divisive rhetoric of social class that accompanied its rise to the status of “modern literature.” \n \nRobert Tuck is Assistant Professor of Modern Japanese Literature and Culture at Arizona State University. His research centers on 19th and 20th century literature\, especially poetry\, media\, and Sino-Japanese genres of writing. His most recent work is Idly Scribbling Rhymers: Poetry\, Print\, and Community in 19th Century Japan (Columbia University Press\, 2018). \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.

Unlike spiral galaxies where molecular gas lies in a disk moving in ordered motion about the center of the galaxy\, molecular clouds in cluster centrals likely form in the updrafts of rising radio bubbles. Less is known about molecular gas in normal giant ellipticals. However\, trends between the thermodynamic properties of the hot atmospheres in normal elliptcals and cluster centrals suggests much of the molecular gas in ellipticals condensed from their hot atmospheres.\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.

Please join us! \n\nTitle: \"Why Saturn’s magnetic field pulses: certainties\, probabilities\, possibilities\"\n\nAbstract: Regular magnetic oscillations with slightly separate periods for northern and southern hemispheres permeate Saturn’s magnetosphere. Much is known of them but an established consensus on their precise origin or whether they play a fundamental role in magnetospheric dynamics has been hard to reach. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) should apply and we will apply some simple ideas from MHD. However\, we start from signal characteristics established from the 13 years of Cassini observations. Symmetry arguments can help. Indeed\, when northern and southern periods matched for around a year in 2013-14\, we argue that the symmetry seen reveals a lot. Using these results with early MHD theory (from the 80s)\, in this special case one can show that the transverse field components have equatorial nodes and so that the equatorial (torus) plasma executes large (Rs) gyrations always in the same sense. A subtler deduction is that energy absorption or mode conversion near the equator is unavoidable. Estimating gyration amplitude suggests steady substantial angular momentum transfer is likely. Indeed\, re-examining data on both steady and oscillatory electrical currents with this in mind reveals that the oscillations are likely to be the major means of ionosphere-magnetosphere angular momentum transfer in the middle magnetosphere. Energy principle arguments add to the credibility of the latter idea. Finally\, we speculate on the gyrations role in radial transport. \n\nDavid Southwood is planetary scientist with primary interest in magnetism and magnetohydrodynamics. Currently a Senior Research Investigator at Imperial College\, London. He is a member of the NASA JPL Advisory Council and ESA Council\, Chair of the Steering Board of the UK Space Agency\, Chair of the Board of Trustees of the London Institute for Space Policy and Law and a past president of the Royal Astronomical Society. After an academic career as a space scientist at Imperial College\, he joined ESA as Head of Earth Observation Strategy\, drawing up for ESA what is the current architecture for European Earth Observation programmes (Earth Explorers and Copernicus). In 2001 he became Director of Science at ESA\, taking responsibility for all Astronomy and Space science missions\, developing Herschel\, Planck and GAIA astronomical observatories\, Mars Express and Venus Express and oversight of Huygens landing on Titan. He later took responsibility for developing Europe’s long term plans in Mars exploration. He returned to Imperial College in 2011.

Inadequate solutions to this problem have prevented the practical adoption of autonomous assembly in the field\, which would enable improvements in safety\, reduction in costs\, and more ambitious concepts such as large space telescopes. Accurate state estimation\, and a capacity to correct errors\, will be crucial to enabling practical field assembly\, especially for structures such as space telescopes that require sub-mm accuracy over tens of meters. Uncorrected assembly experiences polynomial error growth stemming from sources including tolerances and manufacturing errors. By modeling structure assembly as a Bayesian process\, estimation methods can be applied to the assembly graph to improve accuracy. In recent research\, Dr. Komendera has developed an approach that adapts Simultaneous Localization and Mapping methods and local error correction onto an evolving assembly workspace modeled as a dynamic Bayesian network. This approach enables accurate\, scalable\, parallelizable construction without assuming perfect sensors or requiring a global measurement system. This talk will describe the mathematical foundations of the assembly algorithm\, its expected performance on backbone trusses and space telescope models\, validation through hardware trials\, and future research directions.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Erik Komendera is Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech\, and director of the Autonomous Field and Space Robotics Laboratory. His research focuses on autonomous multi-agent construction on Earth\, on orbit\, and on the surfaces of other worlds\, with an emphasis on robust algorithms to detect\, classify\, and repair failures during and after the assembly process. His current projects include a collaboration with NASA to develop robots and algorithms for constructing lunar habitats and on-orbit persistent platforms. He also works with industry to improve methods for autonomous assembly of variable components. He is also a member of the in-Space Assembled Telescope (iSAT) study team that will recommend an approach to assembling a space telescope. From 2014-2018\, Dr. Komendera was a robotics researcher at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton\, VA. He earned his MS ('12) and PhD ('14) in Computer Science from the University of Colorado\, and a BSE in Aerospace Engineering ('07) from the University of Michigan. At NASA\, he served as assembly robot task lead on the project titled “Commercial Infrastructure for Robotic Assembly and Servicing” (CIRAS). In addition\, he was the Principal Investigator for a Langley IRAD project to investigate methods for assembling solar arrays.

Locking up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America DESCRIPTION:In his lecture\, James Forman\, Jr. will discuss some of the questions raised by his Pulitzer-prize winning book\, Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America. How did African-American elected officials and citizens respond to the surge in crime and drug addiction beginning in the 1970s? What were the impact of those decisions? Can we make different choices today? \n\nA reception and book signing will follow the public lecture.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored with support from: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Department of History\, Department of Sociology\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Institute for the Humanities\, International Institute Conflict and Peace Initiative\, and the Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion.\n\nA former public defender and a child of civil rights activists\, Professor Forman will share riveting stories of his clients\, politicians\, judges\, and ordinary citizens. He will speak with compassion about individuals trapped in terrible dilemmas. His lecture will enrich our understanding of why America has become so punitive and will offer important lessons about the future of race and the criminal justice system in this country.\n\nJames Forman\, Jr. graduated from Roosevelt High School in Atlanta\, Brown University\, and Yale Law School. He worked as a law clerk for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court. After clerking\, he joined the Public Defender Service in Washington\, D.C.\, where for six years he represented juveniles and adults in felony and misdemeanor cases. He has also won the general non-fiction Pulitzer Prize for his book \"Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America.\" \n \nProfessor Forman loved being a public defender\, but he quickly became frustrated with the lack of education and job training opportunities for his clients. So in 1997\, along with David Domenici\, he started the Maya Angelou Public Charter School\, an alternative school for dropouts and youth who had previously been arrested. A decade later\, in 2007\, Maya Angelou School expanded and agreed to run the school inside D.C.’s juvenile prison. That school\, which had long been an abysmal failure\, has been transformed under the leadership of the Maya Angelou staff\; the court monitor overseeing D.C.’s juvenile system called the turnaround “extraordinary.” \n \nAt Yale Law School\, where has taught since 2011\, Forman teaches Constitutional Law and a course called Race\, Class\, and Punishment. Last year he took his teaching behind prison walls\, offering a seminar called Inside-Out Prison Exchange: Issues in Criminal Justice\, which brought together\, in the same classroom\, 10 Yale Law students and 10 men incarcerated in a CT prison. \n \nProfessor Forman has written many law review articles\, in addition to op-eds and essays for the New York Times\, the Atlantic\, the New Republic\, the Nation\, and the Washington Post. His first book is the critically acclaimed\, Pulitzer Prize-winning \"Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America\" (2017) which explores how decisions made by black leaders\, often with the best of intentions\, contributed to disproportionately incarcerating black and brown people. A Washington Post bestseller\, \"Locking Up Our Own\" was longlisted for the National Book Award and has been named a Best Book of the Year by numerous publications\, including the New York Times\, The Marshall Project\, Publisher’s Weekly\, and GQ Magazine. Reviewers have called the book “superb and shattering” (New York Times)\, “eloquent” and “sobering” (London Review of Books)\, and “moving\, nuanced\, and candid” (New York Review of Books). On Twitter\, the New York Times book reviewer Jennifer Senior called \"Locking Up Our Own\" “the best book I’ve read this year.” \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to umichhumanrights@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Because the mountains of South America are hotspots of plant diversity\, they provide an ideal opportunity to study the role that geographic and ecological factors play in the origin and evolution of plant species. In this seminar\, I will present an \"integrative systematics\" analysis of Escallonia\, an eco-phenotypically diverse group of shrubs widely distributed in montane South America. Integrating phylogenetic\, biogeographic\, and bioclimatic analyses with a multidimensional approach to species delimitation\, I show that the majority of species in Escallonia have diversified across environmental gradients in close geographic proximity. This is consistent with the hypothesis that parapatric speciation has been the main diversification mechanism in these plants\, and suggests that ecological factors may be key forces in generating and maintaining plant species diversity in the mountains of South America.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/Wo4kxiE51W4 UID:49659-11487544@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49659 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181023T085859 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190124T173000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Hopwood Tea DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Hopwood Room for tea and conversation.

The ultimate goal of most single- molecule techniques is to reveal population-level or time-dependent heterogeneity in a system of interest by directly monitoring individual particles in a near-native environment. However\, confining a single molecule within an observation volume for long enough to detect a small\, noisy signal – without substantially perturbing that signal – is challenging\, especially in situations where tethering particles in place may restrict throughput or directly change the sample’s behavior. Since nearly all molecules possess some native charge\, electrophoretic forces that are generated by application of electric fields are an attractive option for manipulating particles without physical attachment. Similarly\, the electric field- induced motion of ions in the double layer near the walls of a micro- or nanofluidic channel can induce electroosmotic flow\, which imparts hydrodynamic forces that can be used to manipulate particles.\n\n\nHere\, I will present an overview of my recent work related to two unique single-molecule techniques that employ electric fields to enable control and precision measurements of single molecules and nanoscale particles in free solution. These strategies enable concurrent multi-parametric readout of the states of those objects\, which then can be used to classify their nature and behaviors. First\, I will discuss the use of static electric fields to draw charged biopolymers to and through small solid-state nanopores\, which can be used to resistively sense variations in chemical or geometric structure along the length of the analyte molecule. Second\, I will present results obtained via an Anti-Brownian Electrokinetic (ABEL) trap\, a technique in which Brownian motion is directly counteracted by active electrophoretic or electroosmotic feedback to maintain the position of a single molecule within a small confocal region. Because single molecules can be trapped for many seconds each\, high-precision fluorescence measurements can report on either static or dynamic heterogeneity in their structure and interactions. \n\n\nBecause these techniques utilize electrophoretic and electroosmotic forces\, the native charge of the analyte or surrounding medium are sufficient to achieve tether-free nanoscale confinement of single molecules and nanoparticles\, providing highly versatile sensing platforms to address both applied and basic biomedical\, biophysical\, and biochemical challenges.\n\nAllison Squires\, Ph.D.\, is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University.

Key projects include El Bibliobandido (a masked\, story-eating bandit who terrorizes little kids to offer him stories they’ve written)\, Video Slink Uganda (experimental films slipped or “slinked” into Uganda’s bootleg cinemas)\, and Contratados (a Yelp for migrant workers). As an artist in residence with the National Domestic Workers Alliance since 2012\, Jahn co-created various projects that amplify the voices of America’s fastest growing workforce\, caregivers: two mobile studios (NannyVan\, CareForce One)\, an app for domestic workers that CNN named “one of five apps to change the world\,” and CareForce One Travelogues\, a Sundance-supported docu series for PBS/ITVS co-produced with Oscar- and Emmy-winning filmmaker Yael Melamede. Jahn’s work has been reviewed by the New York Times\, BBC\, Univision\, and Artforum\, which described Jahn’s work as “exemplifying the possibilities of art as social practice.” Her work has been awarded numerous grants and has been exhibited at the White House\, Museum of Modern Art\, New Museum\, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts\, Walker Art Center\, and more.\n\nPresented in partnership with Stamps Gallery as part of the 2019 Rev.

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 an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

We investigated the effects of applying properly tuned low pressure acoustic pulses before and during therapy in order to control the cavitation threshold\, the shape of the resulting bubble cloud\, and the behavior and interactions of residual microbubbles. \n\n \n\nHistotripsy is a tissue ablation method that utilizes focused high amplitude ultrasound to generate a cavitation bubble cloud that mechanically fractionates tissue. Effective histotripsy depends on initiation\, control\, and maintenance of cavitation bubble clouds in the targeted area. The work in this dissertation seeks to develop active tissue protection techniques by modulating the pressure threshold of bubble cloud initiation and focal sharpening using bubble suppressing pulses. We demonstrated that by applying a properly tuned low pressure pulse sequence before and/or during shock scattering histotripsy therapy\, both the cavitation initiation pressure threshold and the growth of the cavitation bubble can be modified. This mechanism can be used to produce well defined lesions with minimal collateral damage. It can also be a way to actively protect soft tissue from cavitation damage during both lithotripsy and histotripsy by increasing the pressure threshold for bubble cloud initiation in the periphery zone. \n\n \n\nCavitation also plays a significant role in the efficacy of stone comminution during shockwave lithotripsy (SWL). Although cavitation on the surface of urinary stones helps to improve stone fragmentation\, cavitation bubbles along the propagation path may shield or block subsequent shockwaves and potentially induce collateral tissue damage. At low firing rates\, there is sufficient time for the majority of the bubbles to passively dissolve\, while at high firing rates the per shockwave efficacy is significantly reduced due to pre-focal persisting bubbles. We investigated acoustic methods for removing residual bubble nuclei in order to avoid shielding effects. Previous in vitro work has shown that applying low amplitude acoustic waves after each shockwave can force bubbles to consolidate and enhance SWL efficacy. In this work\, the feasibility of applying acoustic bubble coalescence (ABC) in vivo was examined. We further optimized the parameters of bubble coalescing pulses\, and conducted a feasibility investigation of bubble dispersion by forcing the residual bubble nuclei to disperse from the propagation path away or toward the targeted area before the arrival of the next therapy pulse. These results suggest that manipulation of residual bubbles after each shockwave can be further optimized by acoustic bubble coalescence and dispersion\, which can reduce the shielding effect of residual bubble nuclei more efficiently than relying only on immediate coalescence of residual bubbles\, resulting in a more efficient SWL treatment.

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.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754460@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190111T092613 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190125T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190125T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mass Incarceration: A WeListen Staff Discussion DESCRIPTION:Mass Incarceration: A WeListen Staff Discussion\n\nThis session of WeListen is open to all UM staff members. All voices and views are welcome and lunch will be provided!\n\nRSVP here: http://myumi.ch/6wE9n\n\nThe U.S. has the most incarcerated people in the world: 2.1 million. The corrections system costs $81B annually\, while corporations make $7.4B from private prisons and $2B+ from prison labor. Black and Hispanic Americans are overrepresented in U.S. prisons and 83% of formerly incarcerated people are rearrested within 9 years of release.\n\nIs mass incarceration working? Why are racial minorities overrepresented? Should the U.S. consider different sentencing and correctional models? Has privatization in our justice system gone too far\, or not far enough?\n\nJoin us at this WeListen Staff Session to learn about mass incarceration and to participate in small group discussions about this complex topic. Our aim is to bring liberals\, conservatives\, libertarians- everyone across the political spectrum- together for constructive conversation. The goal of WeListen discussions is not to debate or argue\, but to understand the views and values of others and to learn from their perspectives. The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions.\n\n\nBy participating in WeListen sessions\, staff members will:\n- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic\n- Practice discussing difficult topics with others\,\n- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives\,\n- Learn to productively challenge an idea\, and\n- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.\n\nQuestions?

Photographic Mourning: Witnessing the Philippine Drug War DESCRIPTION:Under the regime of Pres. Rodrigo Duterte\, the so-called drug war in the Philippines has exacted an enormous toll. In this talk\, I inquire into one of the earliest and most graphic responses to this war: the work of photojournalists. How does photojournalism become a kind of advocacy by becoming a mode of mourning? How are trauma and witnessing braided together in the experience of photographers covering war? Indeed\, how does photography offer evidence that trauma can be the site for the emergence of truth? What is the role of the camera and what are the ambivalent effects of the technical and aesthetic imaging of the dead and their survivors? What is the fate of photographic images once they travel beyond the control of photographers? For example\, converted into commodities\, what happens to them when they circulate in the global mediascape and are rendered into items for the daily consumption of anonymous viewers? And among the family of victims\, how do dreams recapitulate as they displace the work of photographic mourning? \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.

DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan Energy Institute Postdoctoral Seminar\nLocation: Ford School of Public Policy\, Weill 3240 (3rd floor seminar room) (talk will start promptly at 11:45\; space is limited)\n\nAn important strategy for climate protection is through deep\, decarbonization and a transition from a fossil to renewable energy portfolio in the electricity sector. There is much evidence of national\, growing public support for state policies to spur such a transition\, including Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and various incentive programs. Select utilities in states with RPS policies have been offering green power purchase programs that enable consumers to pay premiums (from 0.1- 7.0 ¢/KWh) for electricity from wind or solar power. Using a novel approach to compare consumer survey data to revealed program outcomes\, we investigate: does sentiment for climate action translate into actual behavior as measured through ratepayer purchases of green power? The University of Michigan Energy Institute collects national data on energy attitudes and environmental concerns (U-M Energy Survey)\, a quarterly rider on the U-M’s Institute for Social Research Surveys of Consumers (SCA). The U-M Ford School’s Center for Local State and Urban Policy (CLOSUP) collects national data on energy policy preferences\, including the extent consumers would be willing to pay more for renewable energy via particular state policies. This analysis combines these sets of survey data with federally collected data on utility-level green power premiums and utility-wide demographics and electricity prices. This seminar will show initial results pertaining to the state of U.S. utility green pricing behavior\, and how attitudes and stated willingness to pay premiums for green power actually correlate with behavioral outcomes. Such findings offer insights for program evaluation\, increasing green pricing enrollment and informing the development of future market-based policy interventions. The presentation will conclude with a discussion to answer questions and solicit suggestions.

The financial crash in 2008 is a vivid example of how the stock markets and economy are connected. The underlying structure of stock markets is complex. Complex systems tend to operate in a nonlinear fashion\, generating extreme and rare events. Current research in stock markets mainly focuses on analyzing individual stocks (i.e. microscopic analysis) while ignoring the overall interactions and dynamics between them (i.e. macroscopic analysis). In this talk\, I will present a new perspective on the macroscopic nature of stock markets. This perspective offers new insights into the physics of the markets. The proposed approach analyzes the markets within the context of fluid dynamics. We utilize\, for the first time\, concepts from physics and incorporate them in modeling the external and internal dynamics of the markets. A novel model consisting of a stochastic system of nonlinear partial differential equations is introduced. The model allows connecting and determining the evolution of macroscopic variables adaptively. In the last part of this talk\, I will address several extensions and ongoing efforts in this research.

Is the association between unemployment and depression stronger in affluent neighborhoods? Unfortunately\, it is not always clear how to specify a context effect correctly in hierarchical linear modeling (HLM). Dr. Cortina will demonstrate that the different options of centering predictor variables can be confusing and often leads to inconsistent statistical conclusions. While there are special cases that require more complex models\, he argues that most empirical studies in psychological research follow a straightforward definition of context effects.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock).

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.

We hypothesize that these reward-related behavioral improvements are mediated by reward-related enhancements in neural codes which represent upcoming actions. We measured the fidelity of action-related neural codes using machine learning classifiers which attempt to decode action identity from patterns of brain activity preceding actions. We found that prospective rewards had a positive linear effect on the fidelity of action-related neural codes in canonical preparatory motor regions. However\, this effect is only present for neural codes representing actions that were lightly trained—the codes for heavily trained actions were unaffected by prospective rewards. Future research should investigate this interaction between depth of training and reward. \n\n\nHyesue Jang\n\nTitle: \nLosing Money and Motivation: Younger and older adults’ response to loss incentive\n\nAbstract:\nWould you be more likely to keep your New Year’s resolution if breaking it cost you $20? Loss-based incentives are common in everyday life (e.g.\, job/financial security\, health\, driving) especially for older adults. Many laboratory studies report that loss-based incentives do not affect the performance of older adults. This is often interpreted as an example of the age-related positivity effect described by Carstensen and colleagues. However\, the tasks used in many laboratory studies have constraints (e.g.\, fast-passed trials\, salient targets\, frequent responses) that keep attention focused on the task. This is very different from many real-life situations. Using a more open-ended\, low-salience task\, we found that loss incentives reduced performance and attention to the task in older adults (Lin et al.\, in revision). We suggested this might reflect disengagement in response to negative feedback. In this talk\, we examine the effects of loss incentive on a more traditionally-formatted task\, and also examine the effects on participants’ subjective reports of task engagement\, motivation\, and related variables.

Soft and self-assembled materials\, on the other hand\, are composed of intrinsically flexible building blocks held together deformable and non-covalent forces. As such\, soft assemblies systems are able to tolerate some measure of local misfit due to frustration\, allowing imperfect order to extend over at least some\nfinite range.\n\nThis talk will overview an emerging paradigm for self-organized soft materials\, geometrically-frustrated assemblies (GFAs)\, where interactions between self-assembling elements (e.g. particles\, macromolecules\, proteins) favor local packing motifs that are incompatible with uniform global order in the assembly. This classification applies to a broad range of material assemblies including self-twisting\nprotein filament bundles\, amyloid fibers\, chiral smectics and membranes\, particle-coated droplets\, curved protein shells and phase-separated lipid vesicles. In assemblies\, GF leads to a host of anomalous structural and thermodynamic\nproperties\, including heterogeneous and internally-stressed equilibrium structures\, self-limiting assembly and topological defects in the equilibrium assembly structures.\n\nI will highlight the some of the basic principles and common outcomes of GF in soft matter assemblies\, as well as\, outstanding questions not yet addressed about the unique properties and behaviors of this broad class of systems. Finally\, I will describe opportunities and challenges to exploit the scale-dependent thermodynamics of GFA to engineer new classes of intentionally ill-fitting assemblies that target equilibrium architectures with well-defined dimensions on length scales that extend far beyond the size of the building blocks or their interactions.

We then consider a freeze-in model where the production rate is dramatically increased when a kinematic threshold opens.

With one in three U.S. households facing challenges in paying energy bills\, understanding residential energy disparities is key to achieving energy justice. This presentation introduces the energy justice framework and explores the production and persistence of disparities in urban residential energy dynamics\,\nfocused primarily on energy efficiency. The results of cases studies in Kansas City and Detroit demonstrate how spatial\, racial\, and socioeconomic disparities manifest in urban areas\, and how community-based approaches to increasing can help overcome barriers to energy justice.\n\nTony G.

In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Instead\, he recommends the word \"Liángjī\"(Excellent\" + \"Incipient moment\" = Opportunity) to explain real opportunity at an inflection point in time. The US commercial nuclear industry can be considered an \"Liángjī.\" US nuclear electricity generating capacity is expected to decline over the next 30 years\, the recent boom in shale oil discoveries\, low natural gas prices\, and the apparent inability to construct and deliver US commercial nuclear power plants on time and within budget have all contributed to a low confidence in the future of commercial nuclear power. However\, a new class of nuclear power plants\, Generation IV (Gen IV)\, with the ability to provide cogeneration solutions (electricity and process heat) for non-traditional applications and\, in some cases\, utilize nuclear waste as fuel has the potential to enable the industry\, like a Phoenix\, to raise from the ashes of gloom. This presentation will describe considerations\, strategies and plans of X-energy\, a Gen IV High Temperate Gas Reactor technology developer\, as it leapfrogs traditional commercial nuclear power plant technology to globally deliver breakthrough clean\, safe\, secure and affordable energy solutions.\n\nBio: As vice president for strategy and business development at X-energy\, Jeff directs long-term business plans specifically focused on customers\, partners and markets. Jeff has 30 years of entrepreneurial\, general management\, and nuclear power industry experience in Africa\, Europe\, and the US. Prior to joining X-energy\, Jeff worked at the Westinghouse Advanced Reactors Program (pebble bed reactor)\, where he was a commercial/business development program leader and the initial commercial leader for its Small Modular Light Water Nuclear Reactor program. Prior to Westinghouse\, Jeff was Founder and CEO for Turner\, Harper & Associates\, a niche global engineering firm\, with 100 full time staff serving key clients including the Department of Energy\, the CEZ - Czech Republic Nuclear Power Company\, Lockheed-Martin\, and Bechtel Jacobs. Jeff also served as a Vendor Inspector for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission\, where he led more than 30 management\, technical\, and quality assurance inspections and audits of nuclear power plants and vendors. Jeff serves on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Civil Nuclear Trade Advisory Committee\, Nuclear Energy Institute’s Suppliers Advisory Committee\, Prince George’s County Workforce Development Board and is a frequent speaker on advanced nuclear. Jeff received a B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati and an MBA from the Harvard Business School.

However\, observed data is never perfect\, and even labels assigned by perfect annotators can be systematically biased due to poor quality of the data they are labeling. This bias is not created by the annotators from measurement error\, but is intrinsic to the observational data. We present a method for de-biasing labels which simultaneously learns a classification model\, estimates the intrinsic biases in the ground truth\, and provides new de-biased labels. We test our algorithm on simulated and real data and show that it is superior to standard denoising algorithms\, like instance weighted logistic regression. We apply our technique to galaxy images and find that the morphologies based on supervised machine-learning trained over features such as colors\, shape\, and concentration show significantly less bias than morphologies based on expert or citizen-science classifiers. This result holds even when there is underlying bias present in the training sets used in the supervised machine learning process.\n\nBio: Chris Miller is a leader in astroinformatics – mixing computer science\, advanced statistics\, and data mining to answer key cosmological questions. His specialty is using galaxy clusters to trace the distribution of matter in the universe. After years exploiting the Sloan Digital Sky Survey\, he is now heavily involved in the Dark Energy Survey and Dark Energy Spectroscopic Survey\, two of the largest current astronomical survey efforts. Professor Miller used his galaxy-cluster research to support the Big Bang theory by aligning findings from opposing cosmological epochs. He was the first to see the signatures of sound waves from the very early universe that were “frozen into” the matter-density distribution that we observe today. His analysis of the current universe synched neatly with the acoustic oscillations of the early universe detected in the cosmic microwave background\, and demonstrated the power of combining big-survey with focused observational follow-up data. He has published in a variety of journals outside his own fields of physics and astronomy\, including NIPS\, ICPR\, The Annals of Applied Statistics\, and Statistical Science.\n\nBackground: BS\, Penn State\; PhD\, University of Maine.

It does so by drawing on a pair of categories first developed for the analysis of literature and the visual arts: A. D. Nuttall’s “transparent” and “opaque” modes. Nuttall’s categories present both a challenge and opportunity by bringing back into view an older mode of criticism that can see not just different things from the new\, but more things\, and with no loss of intellectual rigor or weakening of validity as historical and aesthetic insight.

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.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754461@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121619 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190126T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190126T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paul Rand: The Designer's Task DESCRIPTION:Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity \nPaul Rand was a giant of American design\, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. 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:58560-14511092@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:20190126T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190126T170000 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.
