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.

What work does the idea of “the medieval” do\, and for whom? What do we gain and what do we lose by insisting on a shared notion of the medieval? By conceiving of a more diverse Middle Ages characterized by mobility and connectedness rather than isolation and limited travel? This symposium will explore what the “medieval” means for scholars of various geographic regions\, including Africa\, Asia\, the Americas\, and Europe in hopes of facilitating a dramatic shift in our visions of what it means to do medieval history\, and the meaning of global history more broadly.\n\nPlease see the conference website for the program and registration details.

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:60543-14908101@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:20180920T150145 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190208T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190208T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M Structure Seminar DESCRIPTION:Ben McIlwain\, Research Fellow\, Randy Stockbridge Lab\, University of Michigan UID:55752-13777524@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55752 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190208T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190208T170000 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. 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:59587-14754472@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:20190208T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190208T170000 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:58560-14511101@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:20190202T103605 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190208T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190208T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Cosma Shalizi\, Associate Professor\, Department of Statistics\, Carnegie Mellon University DESCRIPTION:Latent homophily generally makes it impossible to identify contagion or influence effects from observations on social networks. Sometimes\, however\, homophily also makes it possible to accurately infer nodes' latent attributes from their position in the larger network. I will lay out some assumptions on the network-growth process under which such inferences are good enough that they enable consistent and asymptotically unbiased estimates of the strength of social influence. Time permitting\, I will also discuss the prospects for tracing out the \"identification possibility frontier\" for social contagion.\n\n(Joint work with Edward McFowland III\; paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.06565 ) UID:60665-14937147@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60665 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190122T121848 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190208T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190208T130000 SUMMARY:Meeting:AIG (American Institutions Group) DESCRIPTION:TBA UID:60196-14849036@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60196 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Politics LOCATION:Haven Hall - Walker Room (5664) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190125T122415 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190208T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190208T133000 SUMMARY:Other:BLI Lunch & Learn: The Capstone Experience!

However\, in most of these scenarios\, human operators must carefully plan the mission to ensure completion of the task. Strict human oversight not only makes such deployments expensive and time consuming but also makes some tasks impossible due to the requirement for heavy cognitive loads or reliable communication between the operator and the vehicle. We can mitigate these limitations by making the robotic information gatherers semi-autonomous\, where the human provides high-level input to the system and the vehicle fills in the details on how to execute the plan. In this talk\, I will show how a general framework that unifies information theoretic optimization and physical motion planning makes semi-autonomous information gathering feasible in marine environments. I will leverage techniques from stochastic motion planning\, adaptive decision making\, and deep learning to provide scalable solutions in a diverse set of applications such as underwater inspection\, ocean search\, and ecological monitoring. The techniques discussed here make it possible for autonomous marine robots to “go where no one has gone before\,” allowing for information gathering in environments previously outside the reach of human divers.\n\nGeoff Hollinger is an Assistant Professor in the Collaborative Robotics and Intelligent Systems (CoRIS) Institute at Oregon State University. His current research interests are in adaptive information gathering\, distributed coordination\, and learning for autonomous robotic systems. He has previously held research positions at the University of Southern California\, Intel Research Pittsburgh\, University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP Laboratory\, and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. He received his Ph.D. (2010) and M.S. (2007) in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University and his B.S. in General Engineering along with his B.A. in Philosophy from Swarthmore College (2005).

Unfortunately\, products at an early stage of development lack sufficient data to perform a traditional life cycle assessment (LCA).\nThere has been significant research on the diffusion of innovations to understand\npotential market penetration of a new technology\, adopter characteristics\, and displacement effects. Diffusion of innovation concepts are useful when constructing scenarios for consequential LCA and understanding how different policy or design\nchoices may affect overall technology adoption and market penetration.\nThis seminar will present methods to construct future scenarios within the context of consequential LCA to identify preferable options for new technology design or policy development. A number of case studies will be explored\, discussing research projects that involve assessment of transportation fuels\, carbon capture and storage\, and penetration of refrigerated food supply chains in developing countries.\n\nProfessor Miller's research uses life cycle assessment and scenario modeling to identify environmental problems before they occur. Historically\, our society has taken a reactionary approach to the environment. By proactively understanding the environmental issues of emerging technologies\, we can identify a greater number of options and more creative solutions to avoid or reduce negative consequences. Miller's research group works on a variety of energy-related topics\, including the energy-water nexus\, bioenergy\, refrigeration in the food system\, and autonomous vehicles.

Chromium is a minor\, yet consequential\, multi-valent element that is present at dilute concentrations in nearly all basaltic magmas. Recent work has shown that synchrotron μ-XANES measurements of Cr valence in early liquidus olivine phenocrysts can be exploited to yield quantitative information on the prevailing fO2 conditions of primitive mantle-derived basaltic liquids. Spatially resolved measurements of Cr valence in olivine are also unique in that they can be placed into the context the growth history of the phenocryst\, thus potentially revealing a wealth of information about temporal variations in the oxidation state of the magmatic system as a function of crystallization and the compositional evolution of the residual liquids. In this way\, olivine phenocrysts may serve as high fidelity recorders of magmatic fO2 that can provide new insights into the connection between the oxidation state of basaltic magmas and their mantle sources. Decoding the Cr2+/ΣCr of natural olivine phenocrysts and exploiting this information as a redox “chronometer” is a challenging petrologic problem that requires a multifaceted experimental\, analytical\, and thermodynamic modeling approach to understand how Cr2+/ΣCr values are dictated by temperature\, fO2 and melt chemistry.

They are used for biology\, material science\, medicine\, or industry. Such sources rely on conventional particle accelerators\, where electrons are accelerated to gigaelectronvolts (GeV) energies. The accelerating particles are also wiggled in magnetic structures to emit x-ray radiation that is commonly used for molecular crystallography\, fluorescence studies\, chemical analysis\, medical imaging\, and many other applications. One of the drawbacks of synchrotrons and XFELs is their size and cost\, because electric field gradients are limited to about a few 10s of MeV/M in conventional accelerators. \nThis seminar will review particle acceleration in laser-driven plasmas as an alternative to generate x-rays. A plasma is an ionized medium that can sustain electrical fields many orders of magnitude higher than that in conventional radiofrequency accelerator structures. When short\, intense laser pulses are focused into a gas\, it produces electron plasma waves in which electrons can be trapped and accelerated to GeV energies. This process\, laser-wakefield acceleration (LWFA)\, is analogous to a surfer being propelled by an ocean wave. Betatron x-ray radiation\, driven by electrons from laser-wakefield acceleration\, has unique properties that are analogous to synchrotron radiation\, with a 1000-fold shorter pulse. This source is produced when relativistic electrons oscillate during the LWFA process. \nAn important use of x-rays from laser plasma accelerators we will discuss is in High Energy Density (HED) science. This field uses large laser and x-ray free electron laser facilities to create in the laboratory extreme conditions of temperatures and pressures that are usually found in the interiors of stars and planets. To diagnose such extreme states of matter\, the development of efficient\, versatile and fast (sub-picosecond scale) x-ray probes has become essential. In these experiments\, x-ray photons can pass through dense material\, and absorption of the x-rays can be directly measured\, via spectroscopy or imaging\, to inform scientists about the temperature and density of the targets being studied. \n\nWork performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under contract DE-AC52-07NA27344\, supported by the LLNL LDRD program under tracking code 13-LW-076\, 16-ERD-024\, 16-ERD-041\, supported by the DOE Office of Fusion Energy Sciences under SCW 1476 and SCW 1569\, and by the DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program under SCW 1575. \n\nBio: Félicie Albert is currently a staff scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the National Ignition Facility and Photon Science directorate and the Joint High Energy Density Sciences (JHEDS) organization. She was hired at LLNL in 2008 as a postdoctoral researcher in the photon science and applications (PS&A) program to work on nuclear resonance fluorescence experiments\, and became a permanent member of the technical staff in 2010. She earned her PhD in physics in 2007 from the Ecole Polytechnique in France\, her MS in Optics from the University of Central Florida in 2004\, and her BS in engineering from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Physique de Marseille\, France\, in 2003. Her areas of expertise include the generation and applications of novel sources of electrons\, x-rays and gamma-rays through laser-plasma interaction\, laser-wakefield acceleration\, and Compton scattering. She has conducted many experiments using high-intensity lasers. \nFélicie was awarded a 2016 U.S. Department of Energy Early Career Research Program Award to develop new x-ray sources for high energy density science experiments\, and has been leading several Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Projects at LLNL.

In many cases\, competition between lipid kinases and phosphatases underlies the production of PIP lipids that become asymmetrically distributed across the plasma membrane. Although many of the enzymes that regulate PIP lipid synthesis in vivo have been identified\, questions concerning how PIP lipid phosphorylation reactions are rapidly turned ON and OFF remain unanswered. The Hansen lab has taken a reductionist approach to biochemically reconstitute minimal sets of signaling molecules that control PIP lipid phosphorylation at the plasma membrane. The knowledge gained from our biochemical analysis has provided new insights concerning how lipid modifying enzymes regulate the formation of transient\, polarized\, and oscillatory PIP lipid signaling reactions in living cells.

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.

What work does the idea of “the medieval” do\, and for whom? What do we gain and what do we lose by insisting on a shared notion of the medieval? By conceiving of a more diverse Middle Ages characterized by mobility and connectedness rather than isolation and limited travel? This symposium will explore what the “medieval” means for scholars of various geographic regions\, including Africa\, Asia\, the Americas\, and Europe in hopes of facilitating a dramatic shift in our visions of what it means to do medieval history\, and the meaning of global history more broadly.\n\nPlease see the conference website for the program and registration details.

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:60543-14908102@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:20190204T084002 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190209T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190209T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Saturday Morning Physics | Constructing an Earth: Just Add Water DESCRIPTION:In this talk we will explore how a life-bearing world such as our own originates by following the necessary materials from their origins in space.

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:59587-14754473@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:20190209T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190209T170000 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:58560-14511102@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:20190210T120012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190209T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190209T235959 SUMMARY:Other:CWPA #1 Tournament DESCRIPTION:The first CWPA tournament of the season UID:60443-15017896@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60443 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Donald B Canham Natatorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121614 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190209T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190209T140000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Drawing in the Galleries DESCRIPTION:Student Docents or other facilitators will be on hand to provide free sketching materials and facilitate your experience of looking and drawing.

Shelter\, created in 1988 by Urban Bush Women founder Jawole Willa Jo Zollar\, is an unsentimental commentary about homelessness and disenfranchisement. The New York Times wrote\, “[Shelter] is so filled with compassion and anger that it becomes a powerful incantation against the evils of obliviousness and neglect.” Alumna Jennifer Harge\, artistic director of Detroit’s Harge Dance Stories\, is a performer who uses the body to tell stories. She was recently honored as a Visual Arts Fellow by Kresge Arts in Detroit. Harge’s work lies at the intersection of movement\, performance art\, African-American culture\, and choreographies of protest. In celebration of Leonard Bernstein’s centenary\, faculty member Bill DeYoung sets a new work to Bernstein’s Prelude\, Fugue\, and Riffs (1955). Robin Wilson will create a new work inspired by her upcoming trip to Cuba in May.\n\nWatch an excerpt of Shelter performed by the Alvin Ailey Dance company at: youtube.com UID:52130-12444080@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52130 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190206T181530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190209T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Faculty Recital: Aaron Berofsky\, violin and Christopher Harding\, piano with guest artist Yeonjin Kim\, cello DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM: Haydn- Trio for Piano\, Violin and Cello in A Major\, Hob.

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.

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:60543-14908103@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:20190205T181719 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190210T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190210T110000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Yoga Study Break at UMMA DESCRIPTION:Participate in the ancient practice of yoga in the beautiful surroundings of the Museum of Art.

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:59587-14754474@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:20190210T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190210T170000 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. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511103@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:20190204T121535 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190210T130000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Electric Joan of Arc- The Movie (1928) DESCRIPTION:Electronic soundtrack performed live by Stephen Rush (piano\, synthesizer)\, Jeremy Edwards (drums\, synthesizer)\, and Matias Vilaplana (electronics\, live processing).\n\nMovie contains adult themes and may not be suitable for young children.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today.

Shelter\, created in 1988 by Urban Bush Women founder Jawole Willa Jo Zollar\, is an unsentimental commentary about homelessness and disenfranchisement. The New York Times wrote\, “[Shelter] is so filled with compassion and anger that it becomes a powerful incantation against the evils of obliviousness and neglect.” Alumna Jennifer Harge\, artistic director of Detroit’s Harge Dance Stories\, is a performer who uses the body to tell stories. She was recently honored as a Visual Arts Fellow by Kresge Arts in Detroit. Harge’s work lies at the intersection of movement\, performance art\, African-American culture\, and choreographies of protest. In celebration of Leonard Bernstein’s centenary\, faculty member Bill DeYoung sets a new work to Bernstein’s Prelude\, Fugue\, and Riffs (1955). Robin Wilson will create a new work inspired by her upcoming trip to Cuba in May.\n\nWatch an excerpt of Shelter performed by the Alvin Ailey Dance company at: youtube.com UID:52130-12444081@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52130 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190201T122300 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190210T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190210T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Curator Tour | Ancient Color DESCRIPTION:Join exhibition curator Cathy Person on a tour through the Kelsey Museum special exhibition \"Ancient Color.\" She'll discuss how ancient Romans acquired\, made\, and used pigments and dyes\, and how modern science is helping us learn about and understand the ancient world of color.\n\nDr. Person is the educational and academic outreach coordinator for the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and a Roman archaeologist. \n\nCurator tours are free and open to all visitors.

Beyond just allowing us to access infinite amounts of information at lightening speed\, it has also altered the way we interact with each other and our environment. While Google\, Amazon\, Facebook\, & Apple (GAFA) remain the predominant gatekeepers of the how we access the Internet\, a large portion of the web remains hidden to most of us. In this interactive tour Abhishek Narula\, MFA student at the Stamps School of Art & Design\, will lead us through exploration of the hidden parts of the Internet. In this discussion\, in dialogue with a selection of artworks in the UMMA exhibition of Art in the Age of the Internet\, 1989 to Today\, Narula will help uncover the conceptual inner workings of the Internet at large. Culminating in a curated tour of the Deep Web\, we will explore parts of the web that one cannot access through GAFA.

The secret protagonist of the afternoon\, the piano\, gradually loses its voice over the course of the concert and becomes a percussion instrument\, while also emulating the harp and the musical saw. In the Michigan premiere of Crumb's Ancient Voices of Children that closes the program\, we witness haunting imagery as parent and child seek one another along with the lost voice of the child. All featured works are rooted in Ann Arbor\, and as an uninterrupted musical journey\, offer dramatic commentary on people and their families. An entire community of faculty\, staff\, students\, alumni\, and larger U-M family has come together to take this journey together.\n\nPROGRAM: Gabriela Lena Frank- Manhattan Serenades\; Andrew Bishop- The Archeologist\, dedicated to George Crumb Ellen Rowe- Visa Blues\; Kristin Kuster- ANDO: Light against Shade\; György Ligeti (arr.

The dream almost ended\, though\, when Mattea entered her 50s and began to find her voice changing. What followed was a three-year journey through life challenges\, soul-searching\, and professional uncertainty\, a trying time of personal anguish that threatened to silence her permanently\, but instead brought her unexpected joy. Mattea dug in with a vocal coach\, re-committed to her music\, and emerged with the most poignant album of her career\, \"Pretty Bird.\" Working with her old friend\, music roots wizard Tim O’Brien\, producing\, she created a chronicle of her journey\, song by song\, back to singing for the sheer joy of it. From a playful take on Oliver Wood’s “Chocolate On My Tongue” to a tender rendition of Mary Gauthier’s “Mercy Now\,” from a British traditional song to a Bobbie Gentry classic\, these are the songs that helped Kathy Mattea reclaim her voice\, and she inhabits each as fully as if it were her own.

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.

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.

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.

However\, current treatments for child psychopathology are often ineffective and difficult to access\, with as many as 50% of children continuing to suffer from mental health problems even after treatment. To pave the way for more effective treatment and prevention strategies\, the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) project launched by the National Institute of Mental Health has been championed as a systematic framework for linking symptoms (e.g.\, internalizing)\, across the normal to abnormal range\, to behavior and neural circuits indexing constructs of relevance to psychopathology. Nonetheless\, integrating RDoC into developmental psychopathology\, especially the application of RDoC to early childhood\, has been understudied. \n\nTo fulfill the promise of RDoC and integrate RDoC into developmental psychopathology\, I argue that it is critical to 1) identify and establish early behavioral markers that could differentiate typical vs atypical development over time\; 2) link these early behavioral markers to neurobiological mechanisms that are associated with emotional maladjustment\; and 3) understand how these behavioral and neural markers could be modulated via intervention. In this talk\, I will first examine whether specific self-regulation skills at age 3 are related to the development of internalizing and externalizing trajectories across time. Then I will link identified self-regulation vulnerabilities to neural correlates (i.e.\, error-related negativity\; ERN) to understand the development of internalizing problems among preschoolers. Finally\, I will conclude with my ongoing direction of targeting self-regulation and its neural correlates via self-regulation trainings as novel intervention for children with internalizing problems.

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:60543-14908104@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:20190208T130153 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190211T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190211T125000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:International Climate Change Diplomacy DESCRIPTION:Join us for a student workshop lunch and conversation with Professor Jennifer Haverkamp discussing about International Climate Change Diplomacy.

Although these projects offer researchers an unprecedented opportunity to investigate developmental factors that contribute to mental health outcomes\, they also present significant challenges due to the need to draw interpretable conclusions from high-dimensional data and integrate measurements over several levels of analysis. The emerging field of computational psychiatry\, which emphasizes the use of mathematically-specified models for measuring clinically-relevant mechanistic processes that underlie observed behavioral and/or neural data\, offers potential solutions. I will present a brief overview of this approach and two specific applications. The first involves the use of a mathematical model of go/no-go task performance to clarify mechanistic processes indexed by task-related neural activations in late adolescence and inform the prediction of substance use in emerging adulthood. The second involves efforts to use linear growth modeling to assess relationships between pubertal timing\, risk for substance abuse in adolescence\, and individual differences in reward evaluation circuitry which may mediate that risk. These lines of research suggest that quantitative model-based approaches can facilitate the use of large-scale longitudinal data sets to better understand and predict externalizing psychopathology.

The dependence can traditionally be studied by performing gigantic cosmological N-body simulations and measuring the observables in different density environments. Alternatively\, we perform the so-called \"separate universe simulations\"\, in which the effect of the environment is absorbed into the change of the cosmological parameters. For example\, an overdense region is equivalent to a universe with positive curvature\, hence the structure formation changes accordingly compared to the region without overdensity. In this talk\, I will introduce the \"separate universe mapping\"\, and present how the power spectrum and halo mass function change in different density environments\, which are equivalent to the squeezed bispectrum and the halo bias\, respectively. I will then discuss the extension of this approach to inclusion of additional fluids such as massive neutrinos. This allows us to probe the novel scale dependence of halo bias and squeezed bispectrum caused by massive neutrinos. Finally\, I will present a recent confirmation of the neutrino effect on halo bias by a different simulation technique\, and discuss the impact on constraining the cosmological parameters.\n UID:58684-14544787@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58684 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190211T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190211T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with CPS faculty Yuki Shiraito DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shiraito is excited to host a weekly Monday evening hackerspace from January 21 until April 22.

Back to the Future: An STS Approach to Markets DESCRIPTION:As the late Leigh Star noted\, infrastructure is that often invisible stuff all around us that is both relational and ecological. I employ the tools of STS in an attempt to unpack infrastructure with respect to markets. Markets may be examined as (1) institutions\, (2) the sum of particular sorts of economic transactions and (3) places where politics is enacted. Contemporary economists have focused on the sum of transactions\, largely ignoring institutions and politics. However\, given the performative character of economics\, I need also to examine how economics\, in its theoretical treatment of markets\, has influenced the development of actual markets. Finally\, any ecological study must also include standards\, a relatively new form of infrastructure taken for granted by most economists. Based on preliminary investigations\, I propose three hypotheses: First\, actual markets (must) fail to deliver distributive justice. Second\, economics as a discipline lags behind the actual changes in the nature of markets. Third\, standards have taken on an increasingly important position as infrastructural devices that shape markets\, first supporting and then undermining neoclassical approaches. Institutional economists of a century ago understood that a pragmatic approach\, emphasizing the evolutionary character of markets\, allowed construction of perspectives that change with the times. A re-reading of their work opens new vistas for STS approaches to markets.\n\nBiosketch: Larry Busch is University Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of Sociology at MSU. Dr. Busch's current interests include the use of standards in public and private policy making\, biotechnology and nanotechnology policy\, agricultural science and technology policy\, higher education in agriculture\, and public participation in the policy process and the consequences of neoliberal policies for democratic governance. His most recent book is Knowledge for Sale: The Neoliberal Takeover of Higher Education. MIT Press\, 2017.

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.

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.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728283@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190115T140953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190212T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190212T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions DESCRIPTION:In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work\, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. 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:60543-14908105@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:20181212T105316 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190212T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190212T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Faculty Panel: Instructional Technology in the Engineering Classroom DESCRIPTION:College of Engineering faculty present their experiences with a range of instructional tools.

Dr. Fariss uses computational methods and the statistical program R to study why governments around the world torture\, maim\, and kill individuals within their jurisdiction\, and the processes monitors use to observe and document these abuses. Other research projects cover a broad array of themes but share a focus on computationally intensive methods\, research design\, and the analysis of data at a massive scale. \n\nThis weekly meeting with Dr. Fariss is for those with an interest in the R statistical programming language. Both beginners and experienced users are invited to attend. Dr. Fariss plans to introduce mostly introductory material during these sessions but will also cover Bayesian modeling in R and STAN.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

Join the CRLT Players for \"Cuts: Responding to Student Climate Concerns\" which invites participants to think together about the many forces that can shape campus climate both positively and negatively. Comprised of a series of vignettes focused on a Muslim student over a year as she encounters multiple issues of bias\, the sketch depicts how such incidents build up over time to create a negative climate for targeted students. Discussion focuses on exploring the issues\, as well as potential responses to them.\n\nThis workshop is open to all staff\, faculty\, and graduate students of the Physics/Applied Physics Department.

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:59587-14754475@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:20190227T063023 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190212T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190212T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:The Pipeline: The Insurance Industry’s Virtual Career Fair for Collegiate Talent DESCRIPTION:The Pipeline Virtual Career Fair brings employers together with college students pursuing a career in the Insurance Industry\, providingaccess to companies seeking entry-level and internship candidates.

In this process\, however\, there are increased practical and moral challenges from using the traditional definitions of “research” vs “practice” to determine which activities within such systems require IRB review and other ethics oversight\, and which do not. As health systems more deliberately integrate care delivery with ongoing data collection\, a set of ethics commitments for this integrated approach must be articulated. This presentation will provide an example of an ethics framework for learning health care and underscore how also being guided by commitments to transparency\, engagement\, and accountability around the ongoing learning are also essential\, ethically.\n\nThe LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences\, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.

The most feverishly microscopic researchers tried to catch the subtlest verbal and nonverbal signs that people gave off\, as if straining to touch the nerve of interpersonal life. This microscopy arose from an intimate dialogue between psychiatry and communication science that began in the 1930s with the study of psychoanalysis using dictation machines. Recording-based talk therapy research left the sciences of conversation with a microscopic sensibility and a conviction about the scale of their object of knowledge.

In response to those uprisings\, President Lyndon Johnson convened the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders in 1968. The symposium will convene a group of scholars\, policy analysts\, and political thinkers\, and community participants to discuss the progress made since the Kerner Report was released and to think through what work remains to move the nation\, its citizens\, and our society toward its aspirational goals of equity\, inclusion\, and justice. The participants and panelists will be charged with placing their focus on identifying those political strategies and public policies that have been effective toward those goals. Moreover\, they will also be charged with helping symposium participants and interested constituencies to begin think through feasible ways to move public and political discourse away from outmoded\, polarizing\, and ineffective ideas and policies. While much social and civic good has been achieved since 1968\, this symposium will take a hard and sober look at the emergent trends toward political polarization\, social and economic disparities\, and potential threats to ethical and democratic norms. We anticipate raising many questions\, but we also intend to leave with proposals for moving our nation forward.

They tend not to link its rise with U.S. intervention in Latin America. This talk considers Latin America’s role in the spread of liberal imperialism by exploring how U.S. settler colonists sought to forge an “empire of liberty” in Central America during the 1850s. While this imperial endeavor was fiercely contested by many Central Americans\, it enjoyed strong support among some Central American liberals. Such support raises new questions about both liberal imperialism and Latin America’s transition from colonies to nation-states.\n\nMichel Gobat is an associate professor of history at the University of Pittsburgh. His research interests focus on modern Central America\, U.S.-Latin American relations\, and international history. His latest book is Empire by Invitation: William Walker and Manifest Destiny in Central America (Harvard\, 2018)\, which traces Central America’s encounter with U.S. settler colonialism during the mid- nineteenth-century era of global imperial expansion. His other publications include Confronting the American Dream: Nicaragua under U.S. Imperial Rule (Duke\, 2005)\, which explores how Nicaragua was transformed by the U.S. occupation of 1912-1933\; and “The Invention of Latin America: A Transnational History of Anti-Imperialism\, Democracy\, and Race\,” American Historical Review (2013).

Sally Stephens\, chief business officer of Medicines 360\, will discuss the organization's global focus and how it is driven to meet an unmet need for women around the world\, including in the U.S. That is\, affordable\, long-acting contraceptives. Medicines360 has the only nonprofit pharmaceutical company with a marketed product in the U.S. Its first product is a hormonal intrauterine device\, or IUD\, which had been out of reach for many women because of the high cost of the sole brand on the market. Medicines360 offers its FDA-approved Liletta at a discounted price to public sector clinics across the U.S. to increase access to this important family-planning product. Additionally\, Medicines360 has been working with international health organizations to offer the product\, branded as Avibela in low- and middle-income countries\, to also increase access to these markets. Avibela was launched in Madagascar in 2018. Sales of Liletta in the U.S. help fund research and development efforts by the company to bring contraceptives to countries such as Madagascar. Stephens will discuss the history of Medicines360\, its successes and its plans to expand access to its affordable medicines and products for women.

The U.S. baby boomer population has comprised the majority of board leadership roles across the country\, but as they leave these positions\, there is a significant challenge (and opportunity) for nonprofits to recruit the next generation of nonprofit board leaders. Currently\, individuals under the age of 40 make up less than 17% of nonprofit board positions. To reduce this gap\, nonprofits will need to employ a number of strategies to recruit and retain younger members.\n\nPanelists will discuss the value of a younger perspective on nonprofit boards and the efforts in place to adapt to this generational shift.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

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.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728284@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190115T140953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190213T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190213T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions DESCRIPTION:In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work\, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. 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.

Victor Frankl said\, “The events of our lives are not as important as the meaning we give them.” Did you know about the serious science demonstrating the benefits of positive feelings for your well-being\, your health\, and even your longevity? Positivity is not a “feel good” or smiley-face subject. Forget everything you know\, and embrace the tremendous power of positivity - cultivated ways of expressing things like love and gratitude that are proven to broaden us and build us up. Cameron Powell said\, “It’s the secret knowledge you keep buying books to discover.” \n\nWe’ll discuss several books and articles that give us insight into the science of positivity. Our main text will be Positivity by Barbara Fredrickson\, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, a leading scholar within social psychology\, affective science\, and positive psychology. \n\nInstructor Mike Murray is a clinical psychologist and has taught many OLLI classes.

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:60543-14908106@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:20190214T094905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190213T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190213T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with SRC faculty Erin Ware DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ware is a self-taught HPC user and excited to host a weekly hackerspace from February 13 to April 3\, 2019.

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:59587-14754476@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:20190116T161517 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190213T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190213T120000 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Schokoladenstunde DESCRIPTION:Schokoladenstunde will take place in the comfy seating area between the two computer classrooms in the Language Resource Center.

The algorithm that I will describe returns a global p-value that quantifies the tension between the data and the reference model. It also allows to compare directly what the network has learned with the data\, giving a fully transparent account of the nature of possible signals. The potential applications are broad\, from LHC physics searches to cosmology and beyond.

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.

Early studies of crowding effects have emphasized volume exclusion effects\, but it is becoming clear that frequent non-specific interactions between proteins\, nucleic acids\, and metabolites may be the more important factor in modulating the structure and dynamics of biomolecules. Computer simulation studies at different scales of a series of models ranging from concentrated homogeneous protein solutions to models of bacterial cytoplasms are presented to explore the effects of non-specific quinary protein-protein interactions on protein stability and dynamics. One focus is on the formation of transient clusters that determine diffusive properties and lead to liquid-liquid phase transitions. The computational results are related to existing experimental data and the challenges and opportunities to expand the current studies to whole-cell modeling in molecular detail are discussed.

Unfortunately\, thermodynamics is limited to equilibrium or near-equilibrium situations\, whereas most of the natural world\, especially life\, operates very far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Without a robust nonequilibrium thermodynamics\, we cannot address a whole host of pressing research questions regarding the energetic requirements to operate outside of equilibrium\, like the energetic cost to form a pattern\, replicate an organism\, or sense an environment\, to name a few. Research in nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics is beginning to shed light on these questions. In this talk\, I will present two such recent predictions. The first is a novel linear-response-like bound that quantifies how dissipation shapes fluctuations far from equilibrium. Besides its intrinsic allure as a universal relation\, I will discuss how it can be used to probe the energetic efficiency of molecular motors\, offer energetic constraints on chemical clocks\, and bound the dissipation in complex materials\, both biological and synthetic\, allowing us to gain insight into the fundamental energetic requirements to operate out of thermodynamic equilibrium. The second is an extended second law of thermodynamics with information that quantifies the precise energetic costs to process information\, make a measurement\, and implement feedback.\n UID:60395-14875120@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60395 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181107T125646 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190213T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190213T173000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Department Meeting DESCRIPTION:contact amyarger@umich.edu for more details.

On February 13 at 4pm\, Perera will present on “African Ancestry Pharmacogenomics Omics.”\nInitially interested in researching the clinical translation of pharmacogenetic findings\, Perera realized that African Americans are often excluded from these studies. The predictive genomic biomarkers used to guide drug therapy are based on studies of populations of European descent\, so the findings are uninformative for other populations. “Practically\, this means we are using the wrong genetic information in African-Americans to guide their therapy\,” Perera states in a profile on Northwestern’s website. Perera\, who spoke at the Precision Medicine World Conference in Ann Arbor in June\, has been funded by both the National Heart\, Lung\, and Blood Institute and American Heart Association to investigate genetic variants associated with warfarin dose response. She has also received a $7.5 million Research Project Grant (R01) from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) to investigate genetic variation in drug-metabolizing enzymes in African Americans. Perera is currently Principal Investigator for one of five Transdisciplinary Collaborative Centers funded through the NIMHD. Dubbed\nACCOuNT (African American pharmacogenomic Cardiovascular\nCONsorTium)\, it will work to accelerate the discovery and translation of pharmacogenomic findings in African-ancestry populations. “The work that we do is scientifically interesting and important\, but it also carries a social justice mission\,” says Perera in her profile. “I hope this work will become an avenue to bring more diversity into academia and science research in general.” UID:60993-15000020@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60993 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:African American,biomedical,biomedical engineering,bme,Medicine,Pharmacy,Rackham,seminar LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - 4th Fl.

These studies and data\, however\, are key to the translations and implementation of precision medicine. To address this growing health disparity in precision medicine\, we use not only genomics\, but also other high-complexity datasets (e.g.\, transcriptomics) to discover the genomic predictors of drug responses\, as well as the biological underpinnings that drive genetic associations. Our work finds important associations of African-American–specific SNPs in pharmacogenomics\, and also novel genes that contribute to drug response\, disease\, and adverse events. These types of studies shed light on the unique contributions the African-American genome can make to precision medicine and the critical need for greater diversity in genomic medicine.

Focusing on selected passages from Benjamin’s twelfth-century Book of Travels\, Jacobs will address the following questions: what does it mean to be a Sephardi Jew during the time of the Crusades? How does a Jewish traveler from medieval Iberia describe the Middle East? What images does he paint of Iraq\, Iran\, and crusader-ruled Jerusalem? Does Benjamin share certain “Western” perceptions of Islam with his Christian contemporaries? How does he portray Jewish-Muslim and Jewish-Christian relations\, respectively? To what extent is his Book of Travels a reliable account of his personal observations on the road\, where does he take poetic license\, and why? Through the lens of Benjamin’s fascinating travel account\, the audience will learn about a pre-modern Jewish world spanning from Iberia to the Middle East and beyond.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires an accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstudies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.

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.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728285@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190115T140953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190214T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190214T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions DESCRIPTION:In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work\, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. 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:60543-14908107@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:20190214T120013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190214T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190214T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Valentine's Day Carnation Flower and Bake Sale!

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:59587-14754477@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:20190214T113243 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190214T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190214T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Productiv Company Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Company Day for Productiv on Tuesday\, February 26\, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.\n\nProductiv is an Accel-backed Series A company.

Due to the interconnected relationship between these two vital resources\, often termed the Water-Energy Nexus\, a shortcoming in one could negatively impact the availability of the other. Technologies based on polymeric materials (e.g.\, membranes and sorbents) will play a key role in addressing our water and energy needs due to their efficiency\, simplicity\, and small footprint. The success of such technologies hinges on developing new materials with improved functionality. However\, despite a longstanding interest in this research area\, significant fundamental and practical challenges remain. This presentation will focus on two such challenges: (1) the lack of fundamental understanding of the influence of polymer structure on ion/water transport in dense polymer membranes and (2) the need for materials with exceptional selectivity for neutral contaminants (e.g.\, boron) that are ubiquitous in natural waters and difficult to remove with conventional technologies.\n\nThe first part of the presentation will introduce a theoretical\, unifying framework for ion partitioning and diffusion in ion exchange membranes (IEMs)\, a class of materials that has attracted significant interest for various membrane-based technologies. The framework\, based on counter-ion condensation theory for polyelectrolyte solutions\, accurately predicted ion transport properties of IEMs from basic structural knowledge\, in some cases with no adjustable parameters. The experimental and modeling results elucidate key membrane structural properties that influence ion transport in IEMs and provide guidance on how to rationally design high performance materials. The second part of the presentation will describe the synthesis of novel porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) with specific functionality for removing boron from aqueous solutions. Due to their exceptionally high porosity and robust chemical structures\, the PAFs exhibited high boron adsorption capacities\, remarkably fast kinetics\, and good reusability. Notably\, the boron-selective PAFs removed trace amounts of boron from synthetic seawater solutions at unprecedented rates\, demonstrating the promise of this relatively new class of microporous polymers for water treatment applications. \n\nBIO\n\nJovan Kamcev\, Ph.D.\, is a postdoctoral scholar working with Prof. Jeffrey Long in the Department of Chemistry at University of California\, Berkeley. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering and Applied Math & Statistics from Stony Brook University and his master’s and doctorate in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin under the guidance of Profs. Benny Freeman and Donald Paul. His graduate research entailed fundamental studies of ion and water transport in ion-containing polymer membranes for water and energy applications. His current research focuses on developing novel porous organic frameworks for various applications\, including selective ion removal from aqueous solutions and energy storage.

Enjoyment of work and driven to work were supported as motivators of job crafting. An interaction effect was observed\, with low driven to work weakening the relationship between enjoyment of work and job crafting. Job crafting mediated the relationship between the two motivators and job performance. We add to researchers’ understanding of motivations for job crafting while making the first attempt to explore the job crafting phenomenon in East Asia. \n \nDr. Greg Laurence teaches negotiation\, organizational behavior\, and HR in graduate and undergraduate programs at the University of Michigan-Flint.

It marks the beginning of the Revolution that wasn’t in the evolution of modern behavior. Binford characterized the transition to cultural adaptations as the development of a “culturally-constructed” environment or “niche” that was strategically exploited with advanced planning. Gamble proposed that this transition involved the development of intergroup social interaction and information exchange networks to extend the social landscape beyond the boundaries of the local home range. Cultural niche construction using social information for planning is a key feature of the transition from primate troop to human tribal organization. I will present new archaeological evidence from Middle Stone Age sites in the Kenya Rift Valley for this troop-to-tribe transition.

In modern societies\, the evolutionarily novel pattern of frequent menses\, and the associated increase in endogenous hormonal exposure\, is a risk factor for breast cancer. It is unclear\, however\, whether oral contraceptives further increase or actually decrease hormonal exposure. My collaborators and I examined variation in hormonal exposure across frequently prescribed oral contraceptive (OC) formulations with the goal of providing a quantitative comparison of endogenous and exogenous hormonal exposure. Endogenous data came from 12 published studies of serum estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) in European or American women. Exogenous data came from pharmacokinetic package insert data for seven different OC formulations. We found that\, with the exception of one formulation\, median ethinyl estradiol (a synthetic estrogen) exposure over one menstrual cycle was similar to median E2 exposure. However\, median exposure from progestins (synthetic progesterone) was 4-fold higher than the median endogenous exposure from P4. Given that breast cancer risk has a dose-response relationship to hormonal exposure\, these findings are cause for concern. Not all formulations produce the same exposures\, making these findings also pertinent to contraceptive choice. Our results are discussed in the light of a recent Danish study on hormonal contraceptives and breast cancer risk.

Some of these are thought to be rocky\, and a handful of those lie within the habitable zone of their parent star\, where liquid water is stable on the planet’s surface. Two years from now\, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope should launch\, and it may be able to do spectroscopy on transiting rocky planets around nearby M stars\, if good targets are identified by NASA’s TESS mission\, which launches a year earlier. The best opportunity to study Earth-like planets will come 15-20 years later\, however\, if NASA chooses to build one of its proposed direct imaging space telescopes\, currently called LUVOIR and HabEx. With such a telescope\, one could identify and characterize non-transiting planets around the very nearest stars. This could provide information not only about other Earth-like planets\, but also about the existence\, or non-existence\, of extraterrestrial life.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nThe seminar will be followed by a reception in the IOE Commons (Room 1709) from 4:00 pm-5:00pm.\n\nAbstract: \nWhen learning a new skill\, people can transfer their knowledge about other related skills they have grasped to expedite the learning. This human ability has inspired the development of a class of statistical machine learning models called Transfer Learning (TL). TL is an excellent choice for Precision Medicine because it allows for building a robust model for each patient based on not only the data of that patient but also transferred information from other patients. \n\nAn important problem that the existing TL literature has overlooked is “negative transfer”\, referred to as the situation of worse performance of a TL model than a model without transfer learning. We provide theoretical study on the risk of negative transfer\, which further motivates the development of a positive TL model to prevent negative transfer. This model is applied to building patient-specific models using smartphone-generated activity data such tapping\, speaking\, and walking to telemonitor patients with the Parkinson’s Disease. Telemonitoring belongs to the emerging health care platform of mHealth\, which utilizes wireless technologies to enable remote monitoring of patient conditions and timely medical decisions. \n\nAdditionally\, this talk will briefly introduce our developments of TL models in other health care applications\, including multi-modality imaging data fusion for early detection of the Alzheimer’s Disease and hierarchical modality and feature selection from neuroimaging data for subtype identification of migraine.

Numerous disciplines tackle the challenges toward making these systems agile\, adaptable\, reliable\, user friendly and economical. On the other hand\, the existing disciplinary boundaries delay and possibly even obstruct progress. I argue that the non-conventional problems that arise in the design and verification of autonomous systems require hybrid solutions at the intersection of learning\, formal methods and controls.\n\n\nI will discuss three problems at varying levels of detail. The results in the first problem will help program autonomous systems in hours---as opposed to the current levels of days or weeks---to deliver complex missions in dynamic and adversarial environments with provable guarantees of correctness. My studies of the second problem have resulted in a series of new reinforcement learning algorithms. These algorithms---unlike conventional learning algorithms---provide strong guarantees with respect to given formal specifications expressed in variants of temporal logic during training and execution. The third problem focuses on developing verifiable algorithms for control-oriented learning that will help autonomous systems survive abrupt and possibly severe run-time damage or faults with minimal sacrifice in the mission objectives. Throughout the talk\, I will place the results in the context of aerospace applications with concrete examples.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \n\nUfuk Topcu joined the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin as an assistant professor in Fall 2015. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 2008. He held research positions at the University of Pennsylvania and California Institute of Technology. His research focuses on the theoretical\, algorithmic and computational aspects of design and verification of autonomous systems through novel connections between formal methods\, learning theory and controls. He has received the NSF CAREER and AFOSR YIP awards.

Most systems utilize a combination of pipelines and tunnels\, which were typically built 50 to 100 years ago. Some of these systems are either susceptible to risks of rupture or failure\, or are experiencing significant operations and maintenance issues. Two examples from opposite coasts in North America are the Delaware Aqueduct in New York State\, and the Second Narrows Undercrossing in Vancouver\, British Columbia. For the Delaware Aqueduct\, a portion of the original tunnel is experiencing significant leakage below the Hudson River within a high-permeability rock mass. For the Second Narrows Undercrossing\, construction of three pipelines across the Burrard Inlet at shallow depths and in liquefiable soils put them at risk for both scour/anchor strike damage and failure during the potential large earthquakes that could occur in the area. Specific issues and technical challenges will be presented for each project.\n\nSamuel Swartz is a Principal Tunnel Engineer based out of Chicago\, IL. With more than 20 years of experience in the tunneling industry\, he has provided tunnel design on a number of challenging projects across North America\, and in Australia and New Zealand. A native of Ann Arbor\, he received his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering\, and a Master’s Degree from the University of California at Berkeley in Geotechnical Engineering.\nJake Facey is a Senior Staff Engineer based out of Pittsburgh\, PA. His work experience spans three years. In that time\, he has contributed to the design of numerous large- and small-scale projects across the United States and Canada.

So much Q & A can feel daunting\, but can also be fun and interesting to prepare for with other graduate students. In this workshop\, we will not be working on poster design: instead\, we’ll work on strategies for fluent communication with visitors to your poster. If you have a poster presentation coming up\, bring a sketch or draft of your poster so that you can practice taking questions from others at the workshop. Otherwise\, come ready to practice formulating and responding to typical question types in poster presentations.
