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from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic.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

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:59587-14754465@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:20190131T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190131T170000 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:58560-14511095@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:20190131T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190131T170000 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.

The spacecraft launched in September 2016\, arrived at Bennu in December 2018 and will survey and study the asteroid until attempting to collect a sample in the summer of 2020 and return it to Earth in 2023. What will be learned from studying and sampling one near-Earth Asteroid?\n\nNear-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) are transients that have escaped the Main Asteroid Belt and spend a paltry 10 Myr on planet-crossing orbits before hitting the Sun\, a planet or getting ejected from the Solar System. All of the various taxonomic types of asteroids are represented amongst NEAs\, but due to their chaotic orbits it is not possible to precisely retrace their history and determine where in the Main Asteroid Belt they came from. Furthermore\, km-sized NEAs\, are unlikely to have survived Solar System history intact and are expected to be reaccumulated remnants from a larger disrupted asteroid - they are often referred to as \"rubble piles\". In sum\, any given small NEA comes from an unknown place and has an unknown parent asteroid and history. However\, with Bennu\, ultimately\, returned samples from Bennu should clarify its history and evolution\, and in the meantime its geology can reveal much of its history and shed light on its history in the Main Asteroid Belt.\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.

In Europe alone\, approximately 3 million people are affected by the consequences of spinal cord injury\, stroke and multiple sclerosis\, for a total estimated healthcare cost of 45 billion euros per year. Treatments for these conditions are needed to ease both their growing economic and societal impact. Recent advances in neurotechnologies and brain machine interfaces have prompted promising results in laboratory settings. However\, none of these approaches translated into actual clinical solutions to motor paralysis. Specifically\, the scarce knowledge on the mechanisms of neural control of movement hinder the design of effective neurotechnologies thus limiting their usability for people with severe disabilities. Here I show how I developed a computational and technological framework to understand how damaged neural circuits can adapt to use electrical stimulation inputs for correcting aberrant motor behaviors I then show how I used this knowledge to design and test novel neurotechnologies enhancing motor recovery after paralysis.\n\nMarco Capogrosso\, Ph.D.\, is from the Department of Neurosciences and Movement Sciences at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland.

Bilal\, ETH Postdoctoral Fellow\, California Institute of Technology (Caltech)\n\nMechanical metamaterials are material systems with tailored\, architected geometry\, designed to retain static and dynamic properties that do not exist or rare in nature. This class of materials usually features a structural pattern that repeats spatially (i.e.\, unit cell). Most of the metamaterials properties are inscribed in the unit cell’s frequency dispersion spectrum\, ranging form its stiffness at zero frequency to its wave attenuation capacity at finite frequencies. These metamaterials are well suited to provide new materials-based advances (through geometry rather than chemical composition) to both structural and acoustical engineering of aerospace vehicles and structures. These advances\, for example\, can range from sound and vibration insulation to flow control. A major challenge in metamaterials design is to engineer unit cells that have the ability to change their mechanical properties in a predetermined manner\, within practical time frames. As a demonstration of principle\, we harness geometric and magnetic nonlinearities to tune the metamaterials’ dispersion characteristics. We program our nonlinear metamaterial to redirect stress waves\, on the fly\, in a reversible and element-wise fashion. \n \nAbout the speaker...\nOsama R. Bilal received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder. He is currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Before relocating to Caltech\, he was an ETH postdoctoral fellow in the department of mechanical engineering in ETH Zurich\, Switzerland. His research interest spans the realization of advanced material and structures by design\, autonomous deployment of material systems\, topology optimization\, flow control\, and multifunctional metamaterials. Osama is the recipient of several awards\, including the ARL postdoctoral fellowship (Army)\, ETH postdoctoral fellowship (ETH)\, the Graduate Student Service Award (CU-Boulder)\, the International Student Award (CU-Boulder)\, the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award (CU-Boulder) and the Phononics 2011 Fellowship (National Science Foundation)\, among others.

Additional details will be posted as they are available.\n\nAmanda Williams is a visual artist who trained as an architect. Her practice blurs the distinction between art and architecture through works that employ color as a way to draw attention to the political complexities of race\, place and value in cities. The landscapes in which she operates are the visual residue of the invisible policies and forces that have misshapen most inner cities. Williams’s installations\, paintings\, video\, and works on paper seek to inspire new ways of looking at the familiar\, and in the process\, raise questions about the state of urban space in America. Amanda has exhibited widely\, including the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale\, a solo exhibition at the MCA Chicago\, The Art Institute of Chicago and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis. She is a a 2018 United States Artists Fellow\, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters &\; Sculptors grantee\, an Efroymson Family Arts Fellow\, a Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow and a member of the multidisciplinary Museum Design team for the Obama Presidential Center. She is this year’s Bill and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Visiting Professor at the School of the Art Institute Chicago and has previously served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture at Cornell University and Washington University in St. Louis. She lives and works on Chicago’s south side.\n\nAndres L. Hernandez is a Chicago-based artist\, designer and educator who re-imagines the environments we inhabit\, and explores the potential of spaces for public dialogue and social action. Hernandez is a 2018 Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellow\, and his recent projects include a 2018-2019 visiting artist residency with the University of Arizona School of Art\, and Thrival Geographies (In My Mind I See A Line)\, a commissioned installation in collaboration with artists Amanda Williams and Shani Crowe for the U.S. Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. Hernandez is co-founder of the Revival Arts Collective\, founder and director of the Urban Vacancy Research Initiative\, and exhibition design team member for the Museum of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago\, IL. He received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University and a Master of Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, where he is an Associate Professor.

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 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.

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:59587-14754466@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:20190124T145629 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190201T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190201T120000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Mental Health Write-In DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Sweetland Peer Writing Center in Angell Hall (G219) for the Mental Health Write-in.

Beyond the Headlines: Morocco 8 Years after the February 20th Movement DESCRIPTION:Eight years have passed since Morocco’s iteration of the “Arab Spring” with the February 20th Movement. Since then\, Moroccans have continued expressing dissent in varying forms\, while the state has responded with varying forms of oppression. Despite promises for reforms and grandiose development projects\, socioeconomic indicators remain grim\, contributing to an ongoing emigration of the country’s skilled and educated population.

Organizers hope to reschedule in the fall. \n\nMales in many species must convince females to mate by producing elaborate courtship displays tuned to female preferences\, like the song of a cricket or the train of a peacock. But courtship in many species is more like a negotiation than an advertisement\, thus in addition to elaborate signals\, success in courtship may require tactical skills. These skills may include the ability to choose a flattering display site\, respond appropriately to female courtship signals\, and adjust display investment in response to the marketplace of other males and females. My lab has been investigating courtship negotiations in greater sage-grouse\, which mate in an open marketplace of competing males and choosing females (the lek). I will discuss experiments using robotic females to investigate courtship interactions between the sexes. I will also discuss ongoing research investigating how off-lek foraging behaviors affect on-lek displays\, and how this basic science has informed my lab's research into human impacts on lekking activities.

This symposium engages widely shared anxieties and aspirations regarding the role of the humanities in the midst of crisis. The challenge of integrating climate change and environmental justice into teaching is only partly a matter of disciplinary expertise. Georgetown University climate historian Dagomar Degroot will discuss his successes and failures in teaching about climate change. The symposium concludes by grappling with dystopian visions in order to ask how humans live with climate change and how critical pedagogies can avoid exacerbating a “climate of despair.” \n\nModerated by Perrin Selcer (University of Michigan)\, facilitated by Anne Berg (University of Michigan).\n\nDagomar Degroot is an assistant professor of environmental history at Georgetown University. His recent work focuses on the resilience of different societies to pre-industrial climate change\; the history of animal cultures in the Arctic\, and the social impacts\, on Earth\, of environmental changes in outer space. His first book\, The Frigid Golden Age: Climate Change\, the Little Ice Age\, and the Dutch Republic\, 1560-1720\, was recently published by Cambridge University Press. His second book\, Civilization and the Cosmos: An Environmental History of Humanity's Place in the Solar System\, is under contract with Harvard University Press and Penguin Random House. He is the co-founder of the Climate History Network\, an organization of more than 200 climate scholars\, and the founder of HistoricalClimatology.com\, a website that receives roughly 500\,000 hits per year.\n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

AIs are intended to guide the efforts by therapists\, teachers\, and other clinical and/or academic staff to provide individualized intervention to individuals in practice. A Just-in-time Adaptive Intervention (JITAI) is a special form of an adaptive intervention that often capitalizes on advances in wireless and mobile devices to address the rapidly changing needs of individuals. In recent years there has been increased interest in developing empirically-informed AIs and JITAIs to address a wide range of behavioral health issues\, including depression\, anxiety\, alcohol use\, substance use and sedentary lifestyles.

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.

In the process\, it will extract Auerbach out of the critical impasse into which he has been wedged between a mandarin Eurocentric and a pre-post colonial exilic consciousness. The theo-philosophical conversations in which he was engaged in his early work had a robust afterlife in the magisterial Mimesis (1946)\, and help explain the huge popularity of that book when it was translated into English in 1953. \n\nJane O.

Mineral physics experiments and simulations seek to reverse-engineer the recipes that generate the features we detect in the deep Earth today. Because Earth and other planets are almost entirely composed of materials at high pressures and temperatures\, the key to translating geophysical observations to structure and composition is the dependence of mineral stability and physical properties such as density\, elasticity\, and transport properties on composition and thermodynamic conditions. I will discuss recent observations of chemical reactions and properties of minerals relevant to Earth’s mantle\, and implications of these experiments for the compositions of layers and regions in the deep Earth.

We hope to see you at our next event!\n\nIn a longer project called The Postcolonial Commons\, I am interested in the emergence of fluid political subjectivities around questions of defending existing commons\, and creating new ones\, in two regions of India: of small-scale fishers in coastal Kerala\, and small farmers in the Garhwal region of present-day Uttarakhand state. I am in conversation with strands of contemporary political theory (represented\, among others\, by Hardt and Negri\, Federici\, de Angelis\, Zizek\, and Bauwens) that posit a future organised around ‘the commons’. However\, while these writings are futuristic\, I suggest that they have an underpinning narrative of the transition from the ‘pre-capitalist commons’ to the ‘commons unmade through capitalism’\, which has implications for the political imaginaries outlined in their works. I challenge their orthodox account of this transition with drawing on writings on ‘postcolonial capitalism’\, including my own recent work.\n\nFor this seminar\, I offer two sections of the ‘historical’ part of the larger project: a discussion of the historiographical challenges in reconstructing ‘the pre-capitalist commons’ and the transitions it undergoes ‘under capitalism’ in relation to Kerala fisheries and Garhwali forests\, and the limits of the ‘commodity frontiers’ approach to narrate this process. Among other things\, the very nature of ‘rule’\, and the problems of establishing it in these ‘unruly’ spaces\, has a bearing on the sources – rather\, the lack thereof – on which an account of such a process can be reconstituted. Accounts are few\, and the reliability of some sources is uncertain\, for much of the period of early colonial conquest. And what accounts there are do not point to the transformation of fish or forest into ‘commodities’ until relatively recently. Nor are capitalist production relations visible in any meaningful sense. The conditions for fish and forests becoming ‘commodities’\, and for the emergence of capitalism in these sectors\, come from a number of scientific\, technological and other governmental innovations under late-colonial and early-postcolonial developmentalism. I conclude by identifying the implications of my account for radical political theory of the commons. \n\nSubir Sinha studied History at the University of Delhi (BA) and Political Science at Northwestern University (MS\, PhD)\, and has taught at Northwestern University and the University of Vermont. His research interests are institutional change\, sustainable development\, social movements\, state-society relations in development\, and South Asian politics\, with a current focus on decentralised development in India\, early postcolonial planning\, and on the global fishworkers' movement.

My work explores alternative axes: in one case the geometry itself introduces the complexity\; in the other\, poorly defined interactions among facilities may lead to complex emergent behavior. \n\nWith CAD-based Monte Carlo radiation transport at its core\, the Svalinn software suite supports workflows that couple the neutronics results in these complex geometries to other analyses including deterministic transport\, neutron activation\, heat transfer\, and mechanical analyses. These tools are being used for support of licensing at ITER\, designing radiation protection for astronaut travel to Mars\, and experiment design at ATR. \n\nCyclus uses agent-based modeling to track the flow of material among nuclear energy facilities with a specific goal of facilitating the introduction of new facility models\, either to improve the physics model\, add nuance to the way the facility interacts with others\, or both. This open source platform enables innovation while ensuring nuclear engineering material compatibility as new facilities are introduced and improved. Recent work has used Cyclus at large scale to study optimization of fuel cycles and hedging scenarios under disruption.\n\nBio: Paul Wilson is the Grainger Professor of Nuclear Engineering in the University of Wisconsin-Madison‘s Department of Engineering Physics\, and Chair of the Energy Analysis and Policy Program. His research interests focus on developing improved tools for computational modeling of complex nuclear energy systems\, with applications in radiation shielding\, nuclear waste management\, nuclear non-proliferation and energy policy. His Computational Nuclear Engineering Research Group (CNERG) develops and provides software for the analysis of complex nuclear energy systems. Paul joined the University of Wisconsin-Madison as an assistant professor in August 2001 as part of the Energy Systems and Policy Hiring Initiative. Paul received a B.A.Sc. (Engineering Science) from the U of Toronto\, an MS from U. Wisconsin-Madison\, a Dr.-Ing from the Technical University of Karlsruhe\, and a PhD from U. Wisconsin- Madison. Paul was the founding President of the North American Young Generation in Nuclear [NA-YGN] and has been active in the American Nuclear Society for over 20 years. He represented the ANS and NA- YGN at the international climate change negotiations in Buenos Aires\, Argentina (1998)\, and Bonn\, Germany (1999).: UID:60599-14910418@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60599 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:colloquium,Energy,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences LOCATION:Cooley Building - White Auditorium, Rm.

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.

An ideal garden should be well-tended and have some symmetry. So too the instrumental music of the period\, which was allowed to branch from its roots\, and blossom\, whilst keeping safely within prescribed boundaries. In the garden and the fantasia\, pattern and tonality served as “safe zones” from which to observe the wonders of nature and the imagination.\n\nThe viol quartet PARTHENIA brings early music into the present with its repertoire that animates ancient and fresh-commissioned contemporary works with a ravishing sound and a remarkable sense of ensemble. These “local early-music stars\,” hailed by The New Yorker and music critics throughout the world\, are “one of the brightest lights in New York’s early-music scene.” Parthenia is presented in concerts across America\, and produces its own series in New York City\, collaborating regularly with the world’s foremost early music specialists.\n\nThe quartet has been featured in prestigious festivals and series as wide- ranging as Music Before 1800\, the Harriman-Jewell Series\, Maverick Concerts\, the Regensburg Tage Alter Musik\, the Shalin Lui Performing Arts Center\, the Pierpont Morgan Library\, the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Yale Center for British Art\, Columbia University’s Miller Theatre\, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Parthenia’s performances range from its popular touring program\, When Music & Sweet Poetry Agree\, a celebration of Elizabethan poetry and music with actor Paul Hecht\, to the complete viol fantasies of Henry Purcell\, as well as the complete instrumental works of Robert Parsons\, and commissions and premieres of new works annually.

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:59587-14754467@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:20190202T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190202T170000 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:58560-14511097@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:20190202T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190202T170000 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.

Originally hailing from a small Wisconsin town made world famous by a pair of overalls (Oshkosh\, B'Gosh)\, the now Milwaukee-based folk band have cultivated a sensibility beyond their years due in part to the powerful literary force that is frontwoman and songwriter Vos. Raised on Bible hymns by her preacher father\, she has a backstory that sounds more like that of an old bluesman from the Mississippi Delta than that of a young folk singer from Wisconsin. Despite their youth\, Dead Horses have crafted a timeless sound\, informed as much by modern Americana as it is by traditional roots music. They've worked with producer Ken Coomer (Wilco\, Uncle Tupelo) who later invited the band to his studio to record the album\, \"Cartoon Moon.\" No Depression called their current album\, \"My Mother the Moon\,\" one of the best of 2018 so far.\n\nThe Brother Brothers\, twins\, are Brooklyn's Adam and Davis Moss. They offer rich harmonies and thoughtful songs accompanied by guitar\, cello\, violin\, and banjo in a coherent way that only musicians from the same family can achieve. Already established players and composers in a wide spectrum of genres around New York and beyond\, they finally teamed up to bring their individual experiences together. Among their fans is Sarah Jarosz\, who raves: \"They approach their poignant and often charming songs with an almost startling sense of ease\, and the tight harmonies are enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

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.

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.

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:59587-14754468@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:20180815T103906 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190203T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190203T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

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:58560-14511098@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:20190203T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190203T170000 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.

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.

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.

Starting in 2014\, University of Michigan researchers in the Department of Psychology began contacting these sites\, largely through cold calls\, to participate in brief surveys regarding their available mental health services. Using this initial contact as a springboard to develop a relationship\, a four-year project including multiple visits to several of these health centers was ultimately conducted. This presentation will discuss how a sequential mixed methods approach to research can be applied in the development of long-term research relationships while also improving the depth and quality of the research itself\, using this multi-year project in urban Indian health to illustrate these points.

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.

Did you know 92% of companies (including colleges and universities) use or plan to use social media to recruit? Many graduate students have a love/hate relationship with social media. They know they “have to do it\,” that it’s the “right thing to do\,” but is it necessary in higher education? What if you are planning to go the faculty tenure route—is it really necessary? At this workshop you will learn how to think more strategically about your social media strategy and presence. More specifically\, you’ll decide what type of “professional persona” you are trying to portray and then you’ll learn some tactics and techniques for building your social media network. This workshop will focus on the following social media tools: LinkedIn\, Twitter\, WordPress\, Academica.edu\, Hoot-suite\, and If This Then That.\nPre-registration is required at https://myumi.ch/LEomk.

There are four families of chromatin remodelers\, defined by the ATPase subunit of the complex. Although each family is often treated as a singular entity\, in reality\, the composition of remodeling complexes can vary greatly based on the inclusion of different subunits. SWI/SNF is the chromatin remodeler that best exemplifies the idea of compositional heterogeneity. More than half of its 12-15 subunits can be filled by mutually exclusive proteins. Despite the many studies on the function of SWI/SNF\, considerably fewer have focused on regulation of assembly and composition of the complex. The goal of my lab is to understand how the composition of a chromatin remodeling complex is regulated\, and how altered chromatin remodeling disrupts normal chromatin state and contributes to disease. My work integrates quantitative genomics\, biochemistry\, and molecular biology to develop a mechanistic understanding of how changes to the composition of a chromatin remodeling complex affects its function. \n\nSpeaker:\nJesse Raab received his Ph.D. from The University of California Santa Cruz working with Dr. Rohinton Kamakaka to uncover the role of human tRNA genes as chromatin insulator elements. In 2012\, he joined the lab of Terry Magnuson to study how changes to the composition of chromatin remodeling complexes affect their function. He is now a research assistant professor in the Department of Genetics at the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill\, where he has continued his research to understand how disruption of chromatin remodeling complex composition contributes to disease.

This event will be livestreamed. Check event website just before the event for viewing details.\n\nJoin the conversation: #policytalks\n\nThis event is made possible in part through the generous support of the Gilbert S. Omenn and Martha A. Darling Health Policy Fund.\n\nAbout the event:\n\nGun violence represents a significant social problem in the United States. In a single week\, the U.S. experiences\, on average\, over 1\,200 gun-related incidents\, including accidents\, suicides\, homicides\, and mass shootings. Of all developed nations\, the U.S. has - by far - the highest rates of gun ownership and gun violence.\n\nMany competing lenses frame the primary causes or drivers of the unique and multi-faceted problem of gun violence in the U.S.\, lenses that invoke perspectives on crime\, race\, mental health\, immigration\, and other contentious issues. Moreover\, the topic of gun violence results in extremely heated\, bitter\, and politically-divisive policy debates. This will be a moderated discussion with a panel of experts who have competing views on how best to frame or define the problem of gun violence and priority policy solutions.\n\nPanelists:\n\nJane Coaston\, Senior politics reporter at VOX\n\nJonathan Metzl\, MD\, PhD\, Professor of Psychiatry and Sociology\, Director of the Center for Medicine\, Health and Society at Vanderbilt University\n\nRebecca Cunningham\, MD\, Professor of Emergency Medicine\, Director of Injury Prevention Center\, and Associate Vice President for Research-Health Sciences\, University of Michigan\n\nModerator:\n\nPaula Lantz\, PhD\, Professor of Public Policy\, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs\, Ford School of Public Policy\n\nFor more information\, visit http://myumi.ch/aKrYo.

These texts come with a number of challenges – philological\, methodological\, hermeneutic – while also being fascinating literary artifacts. At the very least\, they require a kind of treatment that would do justice to the determined interplay of what this talk will identify as their key features: a creative engagement with classical forms and genres\; a programmatic interest in European paradigms\; and a firm grasp of the realities and exigencies of the Ottoman status quo.\n\nBio:\n\nNikos Panou is Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature and Peter V. Tsantes Endowed Professor in Hellenic Studies at Stony Brook University. He received his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Harvard University and has been a postdoctoral fellow at the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies and the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts\, Princeton University. Before moving to Stony Brook he was a Visiting Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature at Brown University. His current research focuses on the ways power and authority were conceptualized and represented in pre-modern philosophical discourse\, with a particular emphasis on moral and political works written from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. He has published on topics ranging from Byzantine historiography to seventeenth-century satire.

It was greater than any watershed since the rise of agriculture and the first cities. And in relational terms\, it was greater than the rise of the steam engine. These historical questions have assumed new salience in an era of runaway global warming and the Anthropocene narrative\, which seeks to explain the origins and prime movers behind such deepening planetary instability. In this talk\, environmental historian Jason W. Moore explains why and how the early modern origins of capitalism – understood as a world-ecology of power\, capital\, and nature – have shaped the crises of the 21st century.

Located amidst the stunning beauty of the Tatra Mountains\, it is Poland’s best-known holiday resort. Tourism has been growing there since the 1870s\, when wealthy outsiders began building holiday homes to enjoy the town’s picturesque location. \n\nWith the outbreak of the First World War\, many Zakopane residents rushed off to fight\, but many others sought refuge in Zakopane to wait out the global conflict. The writer Stefan Żeromski became the informal leader of those who remained. As the war came to an end\, the Austro-Hungarian and German Empires collapsed\, joining the Russian Empire that had fallen a year earlier\, creating a confusing vacuum of authority. On October 31\, 1918\, a group of politicians\, intellectuals\, and local activists in Zakopane took the initiative to disarm the local Austrian military police\, and on November 1st they proclaimed the formation of a “National Council\,” under Żeromski’s leadership. Thus was born the “Republic of Zakopane.” \n\nAlthough Poles celebrate November 11\, 1918\, as the anniversary of independence\, in fact there were many such proclamations in various towns and cities during those tumultuous weeks\, each capturing a different vision of what this new country might become. The “Republic of Zakopane” may seem like an idiosyncratic curiosity\, but it exemplifies the rich diversity of attitudes\, dreams\, and hopes that blossomed in 1918. \n \nMaciej Krupa is a journalist and mountain guide who lives and works in Zakopane\, Poland. An anthropologist and historian by training\, he is the co-founder of the local weekly newspaper\, \"Tygodnik Podhalanski\,\" and a former BBC World Service producer. Krupa has authored and co-authored several books and numerous publications on topics related to Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains. His most recent works in English include: \"The Tatras\,\" \"Zakopane\,\" \"Podhale\" (2018)\; \"The Outstanding Residents of the Zakopane Trail\" (2017)\; and \"Zakopane\, Past and Present\" (2004). \n\nThis lecture marks the opening “100 Years of Polish Independence: Zakopane 1918\,” an exhibition of photographs from the archives of the Tatra Museum in Zakopane\, Poland. The Copernicus Program in Polish Studies has curated the exhibit and organized public lectures in collaboration with the Tatra Museum\, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute in Warsaw\, and Culture.pl as part of POLSKA 100\, an international cultural program commemorating the centenary of Poland regaining Independence. It is financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland as part of the multi-year program NIEPODLEGŁA 2017-22. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to copernicus@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear\, molten glass\, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus\, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

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

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.

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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908098@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190116T101650 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190205T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190205T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ECRC Cookies & Careers: Aerospace Engineering DESCRIPTION:Aerospace Engineering students\, stop by for a cookie and talk with an ECRC Adviser about your job search\, bring your resume along for a quick review!

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.

The exponent of the power law determines the frequency of rare events and its measurement has been a challenge across fields. Power-law distributions arise from a symmetry\, scale invariance\, which is related to self-similarity. I introduce a new kind of power-law probability distribution that only assumes invariance to discrete scale transformations and thereby describes a wider variety of self-similar objects. I show how accounting for discreteness can resolve some of the difficulty of measuring power law exponents: popular maximum-likelihood inference methods are unstable in common empirical contexts and a discrete estimator rescues the method. This results in a 10% correction to measurements of the Gutenberg-Richter earthquake scaling constant and a new method for measuring scaling relationships in fractal objects like circulatory systems and Romanesco broccoli.

Given its prevalence\, surprisingly little is known about the psychological and cognitive consequences of “the pill” – consequences that may influence women’s decisions to initiate\, continue\, or discontinue pill use. Relatively consistent findings are beginning to emerge with respect to memory and spatial abilities\, but research on the cognitive correlates of OC use is challenging and riddled with limitations. A primary challenge is heterogeneity: Women are biologically and socially unique\, and they use different types of OCs for different reasons. This suggests that the cognitive effects of OC use may also be unique – to subgroups of users or even to individual women! In this talk\, I will present methodological innovations that overcome past heterogeneity-related research limitations in order to capture the effects of OC use on cognition\, highlighting effects that are relatively uniform across users and those that are unique to individuals. I will accomplish this by: (1) discrediting the notion that differences in personal characteristics between OC users and naturally cycling women are responsible for differences in cognition\, (2) removing heterogeneity among OC users by placing them into homogeneous groups (based on the active ingredients in their pills) before examining effects on cognition\, and (3) capitalizing on heterogeneity by applying person-specific temporal network models to 75-day diary and cognitive testing data from naturally cycling women and women using different types of OCs.

Ever since\, its dominant metaphors – from Spaceship Earth to the Anthropocene – have stressed the fundamental unity of humans in facing\, and creating\, planetary crises. Rightly insisting that humans are part of the web of life\, post-1970 environmentalism rapidly slipped into a second\, more dubious\, worldview: “we” created the conditions and realities of planetary crisis. The new global environmental imaginary had little sense of capitalism’s global fractures\, above all the ways in which planetary color\, gender\, and class lines have been drawn and violently policed since 1492. As today’s climate crises unfold\, so too has a resurgent Western universalism\, captured in the Anthropocene’s discourse of Man versus Nature. Looking at capitalism’s long history of power and re/production\, Moore shows how movements for planetary justice must directly challenge – and disrupt – the enduring legacies of racism\, sexism\, and colonialism as fundamental drivers of climate crisis and the enrichment of the globe’s One Percent.

Bilal\, ETH Postdoctoral Fellow\, California Institute of Technology (Caltech)\n\nMechanical metamaterials are material systems with tailored\, architected geometry\, designed to retain static and dynamic properties that do not exist or rare in nature. This class of materials usually features a structural pattern that repeats spatially (i.e.\, unit cell). Most of the metamaterials properties are inscribed in the unit cell’s frequency dispersion spectrum\, ranging form its stiffness at zero frequency to its wave attenuation capacity at finite frequencies. These metamaterials are well suited to provide new materials-based advances (through geometry rather than chemical composition) to both structural and acoustical engineering of aerospace vehicles and structures. These advances\, for example\, can range from sound and vibration insulation to flow control. A major challenge in metamaterials design is to engineer unit cells that have the ability to change their mechanical properties in a predetermined manner\, within practical time frames. As a demonstration of principle\, we harness geometric and magnetic nonlinearities to tune the metamaterials’ dispersion characteristics. We program our nonlinear metamaterial to redirect stress waves\, on the fly\, in a reversible and element-wise fashion. \n \nAbout the speaker...\nOsama R. Bilal received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder. He is currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Before relocating to Caltech\, he was an ETH postdoctoral fellow in the department of mechanical engineering in ETH Zurich\, Switzerland. His research interest spans the realization of advanced material and structures by design\, autonomous deployment of material systems\, topology optimization\, flow control\, and multifunctional metamaterials. Osama is the recipient of several awards\, including the ARL postdoctoral fellowship (Army)\, ETH postdoctoral fellowship (ETH)\, the Graduate Student Service Award (CU-Boulder)\, the International Student Award (CU-Boulder)\, the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award (CU-Boulder) and the Phononics 2011 Fellowship (National Science Foundation)\, among others.

Spatial confinement leads to the well known \"particle-in-a-box\"-like states that describe electron behavior in quantum corrals and semiconductor quantum dots (QD). Magnetic confinement leads to charged particles performing tight cyclotron motion and is responsible for the integer quantum Hall effect\, a striking example of a macroscopic topological quantum state of matter. But what happens when we finely tune from spatial to magnetic confinement\, and what role do electron interactions play?\n\nIn this talk I will present scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S) measurements that explore the interplay between the spatial and magnetic confinement of massless Dirac fermions in a custom 'rewritable' graphene quantum dot. I will first describe how graphene electrons can form quasi-bound QD states due to relativistic Klein scattering. As a magnetic field is applied\, I will show measurements that directly visualize the intricate evolution of the atomic shell-like QD states into highly degenerate Landau levels. Here\, increased electron interactions lead to the subsequent formation of a 'wedding cake' structure of compressible-incompressible electron strips\, showing that custom-made QDs are a new platform for corralling quantum Hall liquids.\n UID:59989-14808246@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59989 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190201T130505 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190205T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190205T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Humanities & Environments Faculty Panel: \"Neighborhoods\, Suburbs\, Environments\" DESCRIPTION:During our 2018-19 Year of Humanities and Environments\, we've organized faculty panels to explore contributions of humanistic inquiry around specific environmental subjects. \n\nToday\, U-M faculty members explore the history and development of living environments\, emphasizing the promises of sociability and social mobility suburban and city neighborhoods may have offered\, and the realizations and failures of such promises. \n\nFeaturing:\n\nAlexandra Murphy (sociology)\nMatthew Lassiter (history\, American culture)\nHarley Etienne (architecture) UID:58925-14578311@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58925 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Environment,Humanities,Sociology LOCATION:202 S.

Clements Library aims to present the experiences of ordinary Americans who served in France as part of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) during the First World War. Studying hundreds of letters written by soldiers\, postcards\, photographs\, and other diverse materials\, curator Louis Miller discovered some shared themes from these firsthand accounts to explore in the exhibition. Miller’s lecture will discuss some of the exceptional and heartbreaking stories found in the Clements’ archives and present an overview of the exhibit.\n\nJoin us for the lecture at the Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery\; an after-hours viewing of the exhibit at the Clements Library will follow the lecture. Visitors have the opportunity to view both paper and three-dimensional objects relating to the First World War\, including a doughboy helmet\, censored letters\, photographs\, and souvenirs. A pamphlet of excerpts from the writings of Americans who served complements the exhibit.\n\nLouie Miller is an archivist at the University of Michigan’s William L. Clements Library. He has a Masters of Science in Information from the U-M School of Information with a specialization in archives and records management and a Bachelors in History from Kalamazoo College.

Impunity as State Formation: Dictatorship and the Future of Justice in Thailand DESCRIPTION:The regime of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO)\, which took power in Thailand in the 22 May 2014 coup\, is a dictatorship that has been marked by series of human rights violations including curtailment of freedom of expression\, torture\, arbitrary detention and unjust prosecutions which depart from the letter and spirit of the law. Four years after the coup\, General Prayuth Chan-ocha and the NCPO have gestured towards a willingness to hold elections\, albeit under circumstances highly-constrained by the 2017 Constitution. Taking an assumption that part of the NCPO’s reluctance to exit power is their realization of their many violations of the very law they claim to enforce\, this lecture outlines how and on what charges General Prayuth Chan-ocha and other members of the NCPO could be indicted and prosecuted under domestic criminal law and with respect to Thailand’s international human rights violations. Reflecting on such a possible prosecution within the context of Thai and global histories of human rights and impunity\, Haberkorn also explicates both the urgency of justice and potential obstacles to it. \n \nTyrell Haberkorn is an associate professor of Southeast Asian studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her work is primarily focused on state violence and dissident cultural politics in Thailand. She is the author of \"Revolution Interrupted: Farmers\, Students\, Law and Violence in Northern Thailand\" (University of Wisconsin Press\, 2011)\, which rethinks the meaning of revolution in terms of legal rather than armed struggle\, and \"In Plain Sight: Impunity and Human Rights in Thailand\" (University of Wisconsin Press\, 2018)\, a new history of post-absolutist Thailand written through the lens of impunity. Tyrell also writes and translates frequently about Southeast Asia for a broad\, public audience\, including \"Dissent\,\" \"Foreign Affairs\,\" \"Los Angeles Review of Books\,\" \"openDemocracy\,\" and \"Prachatai.\" Her work has been funded by fellowships from Fulbright\, the Australian Research Council\, the Association for Asian Studies\, the Radcliffe Institute\, and the Einstein Forum.

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.

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.

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.

We harbor a diverse group of microbial population in our intestines that also rely on host diet for their iron. It is unclear if and how the gut microbiota compete with the host iron absorption pathways. Germ free (GF) and control mice fed with iron-sufficient (350 ppm)\, moderately iron-containing (35 ppm) and iron-deficient (<5ppm) diets for 2 weeks demonstrated a significant resistance to iron deficiency anemia in the GF compared to the controls. This provides the first evidence of a reciprocal competition between host and commensals for limiting dietary iron. Interestingly\, commensals possess an active mechanism that is inhibitory to the host iron transport system. Using a high throughput microbial screen\, we demonstrate that gut microbiota produce metabolites that suppresses iron absorptive mechanisms. Specifically\, we identified 1\,3-diaminopropane (DAP) and reuterin as inhibitors of the master transcription factor for intestinal iron absorption\, HIF-2a. This suggested that probiotic based therapies could be utilized in iron overload disorders. Both DAP and reuterin effectively ameliorated systemic iron overload in a mouse model\, suggesting these microbiota derived novel HIF-2a inhibitors could be strong candidates for the treatment of various forms of iron overload disorders in human.

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.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908099@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190206T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

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:59587-14754470@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:20190206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190206T170000 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.

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.

The Polish Athens: Zakopane as a Center of Polish Culture DESCRIPTION:The Zakopane of the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, a period referred to as “The Young Poland\,” is of particular importance in Polish culture. It was the freest place in Poland at the time\, partitioned by three neighboring empires – a place where artists\, scientists\, social\, and political activists met. They went there to rest and rejuvenate\; they roamed the Tatra Mountains\, discussed\, created\, and conspired. Visitors at this time included the statesmen Józef Piłsudski and Roman Dmowski\; writers Henryk Sienkiewicz and Stefan Żeromski\; doctor Kazimierz Dłuski\; and aristocrat Władysław Zamoyski. Anyone who meant anything in the spiritual life of the Poles frequented Zakopane\, adding to the aura of this extraordinary place. Among the visitors were also people who became well-known in America: Helena Modjeska\, Ignacy Jan Paderewski\, Artur Rubinstein\, Bronisław Malinowski\, and Joseph Conrad. Thanks to all of them\, this small highlander village became known as the \"Polish Athens” at a time when Zakopane achieved its spiritual peak.\n\nMaciej Krupa\, a journalist and mountain guide who lives and works in Zakopane\, will discuss the importance of this time and place in Polish culture and history. Krupa has authored numerous publications related to Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains and is the co-founder of the local weekly newspaper \"Tygodnik Podhalanski.\"\n\nThis lecture is related to “100 Years of Polish Independence: Zakopane 1918\,” an exhibition of photographs from the archives of the Tatra Museum in Zakopane\, Poland. The Copernicus Program in Polish Studies has curated the exhibit and organized public lectures in collaboration with the Tatra Museum\, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute in Warsaw\, and Culture.pl as part of POLSKA 100\, an international cultural program commemorating the centenary of Poland regaining Independence. It is financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland as part of the multi-year program NIEPODLEGŁA 2017-22. \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.

This makes biomass a very attractive source of sustainable alternatives to fossil-derived chemicals. The production of various chemicals from biomass usually involves the depolymerization of biomass’s three constituent polymers: cellulose and hemicellulose\, which are both polysaccharides\; and lignin\, which is a polymer of phenyl propanoid sub-units. These three types of complex molecules are broken down into their constituent monomers\, which include sugars and phenyl propane derivatives. In turn\, these low-molecular weight monomers can be catalytically upgraded to either direct or indirect substitutes for petrochemicals. In both depolymerization and catalytic upgrading\, the biggest challenge is usually not achieving the desired reaction\, but rather avoiding being outcompeted by other\, detrimental reactions. Depolymerization reactions of the major biomass constituents – polysaccharides and lignin – are often outpaced by subsequent degradation reactions of sugars and lignin intermediates. In parallel\, coking reactions and catalyst deactivation processes plague the upgrading of highly oxygenated and water-miscible biomass derivatives.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present several solutions to these challenges that my laboratory has developed. I will show how we can use protection group chemistry\, both during lignin extraction and polysaccharide depolymerization\, to reversibly “trap” stabilized intermediate molecules\, and facilitate their high-yield upgrading1\,2. Notably\, we can show that\, under the right conditions\, extracted lignin can be catalytically upgraded at high yields to as few as 1-2 major products3. I will also discuss how targeted surface modifications on heterogeneous catalysts can lead to dramatic changes in activity\, stability and selectivity\, even in the presence of highly oxygenated renewable streams4–6.\n\nReferences:\n1 L.

DESCRIPTION:The Council of Global Student Organizations is a new international council at the University of Michigan which is focused on connecting all student organizations that travel internationally in order to network\, learn best practices\, and access resources.\n\nCGSO was created because we recognized that many SSO's lack formal training and support from the University of Michigan so we wanted to create a space where all participating organizations can learn the skills to ensure that their initiatives abroad are collaborative and as impactful as possible.\n\nOur first council meeting will be on Wednesday\, February 6th at 6pm in room B1580 in Blau Hall. Please register to attend using this link: tinyurl.com/joincgso.\n\nAt our first meeting you will learn how your org can be apart of a collaborative council on how to responsibly engage with international communities. Enhance your cultural humility and awareness so your project can have a positive impact. Network with others who share your passion for international community engagement and leadership\, and learn how these skills can directly translate to your career.\n\nFor more information please check out our website (tinyurl.com/cgsoumich)\, Facebook page (tinyurl.com/cgsoumichfb) or send us an email (contact-cgso@umich.com).

Conversion and Jewish Identity in the Middle Ages DESCRIPTION:In the Middle Ages\, Jews often faced pressure to convert to Christianity or Islam. While some did so out of conviction and others out of practical convenience\, many in the Christian world converted as a response to pressure or force. A small number also sought conversion to Judaism. How did fellow Jews view converts and apostates in their midst? Did they distinguish between Jews who chose to leave the fold and those who were anusim\, or \"forced ones”? A traditional rabbinical theme that “Even though he sinned\, he is still Israel” (BT Sanhedrin 44a) often guided discussion of how to deal with conversion\, and not all were in agreement about the rights of a Jew to return to the fold. By the same token\, not all could agree on the status of one who left his own religion to claim a Jewish faith and identity. This talk will present the stories of a variety of converts\, including one story of forced “conversion” from Karaism within the Jewish community itself—to explore how changing religion affected the understanding of Jewish identity in the Middle Ages.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires an accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstudies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.
