Combining a masterful use of metal and textile techniques\, Nahabetian carefully constructs objects that simultaneously harness light while projecting complex linear shadows. A native of Michigan\, Nahabetian received his BFA from Eastern Michigan University and MFA form Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. He currently lives and has his studio in Orchard Park\, New York\, near Buffalo. Nahabetian has work in many public and private collections and has exhibited at a variety of venues for over 25 years.

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

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

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

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. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

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.

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:59301-14728281@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:20190206T181735 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190210T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190210T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:UMMA Pop Up: Jacob Warren Trio DESCRIPTION:Jacob Warren (double bass)\, Grant Flick (violin)\, and Matt Davis (banjo) blend the precision of classical chamber music\, the rhythmic drive of bluegrass\, and the colorful expression of jazz into a new style of chamber music—chambergrass.

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. Visitors are encouraged to bring their smart phones.\n\nArt in the Age of the Internet\, 1989 to Today is organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston and curated by Eva Respini\, Barbara Lee Chief Curator\, with Jeffrey De Blois\, Assistant Curator.\n\nMajor support is provided by The Andrew W.

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.

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.

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.

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

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:59301-14728283@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.

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:59587-14754475@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.

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.

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

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

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:59301-14728284@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.

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. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

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.

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.

Registration [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/u-m-precision-health-seminar-february-2019-tickets-54719867597] is requested by Monday\, February 11 (or will close when full).\n\nAbstract:\n\nRacial minorities have been consistently excluded from most genomic studies\, and their data compose only a small fraction of what is publicly available. 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. 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:59301-14728285@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.

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. Jake graduated from the University of Michigan in 2016 with a focus in Geotechnical Engineering.

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.

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

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

Fraker Conference at the University of Michigan will take as its point of departure the complicated interactions of space\, place\, and mapping\, in all of their contexts. This conference hopes to both clarify and complicate the notion of spatiality which arose during what Foucault referred to as the “epoch of space” and has continued to develop after the “spatial turn” in the humanities at the end of the 20th century. Further\, we hope with this conference to place a focus on geocriticism\, a term developed in part by Robert Tally\, Jr.\, whom we are delighted to welcome as our keynote speaker.\n\nThe broad understandings and implications of space do not permit a facile definition nor do they warrant one. Instead of conceptualizing space as a backdrop for historicism\, modern critics choose to regard space as an actor with significant agency. The goal of this conference is not to effect a common definition of the complexities of space\, but rather to embrace these intricacies through dialogue. As we know\, physical space is ubiquitous and\, at times\, unremarkable or invisible. It can welcome us or alienate us\; place us at the center\, in the margins\, in between\, or beyond\; facilitate or hinder our movement\, choices\, and behavior\; and influence our very thoughts. It follows that our work is similarly affected by spatial concerns. What can we learn from the spaces created by cultural production?​ ​How does space affect the production of knowledge? How does space relate to power\, or to memory\, or to narrative?\nThis year\, we welcome panelists from Brown\, Concordia (Montréal)\, CUNY\, Emory\, Purdue\, Rutgers\, SUNY–Buffalo\, Texas State\, UCSB\, UAlberta\, UChicago\, UVirginia\, UW–Madison\, and UT–Austin\, as well as our own University of Michigan. In recent years\, papers have been given in different Romance languages as well as in English\; 2019 will be no exception as our program includes panelists from across languages and disciplines.\n\nThe conference will take place on the 15-16th February 2019 at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor. On Friday\, 15th February\, it will be held in the Michigan League\, and on Saturday\, 16th February\, it will be held in the Rackham Graduate School\; both buildings are near Ingalls Mall on UM’s Central Campus.\n \nThe keynote address will be delivered on Saturday at 5PM in the Rackham Amphitheatre.

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:59301-14728286@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:20190215T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T170000 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.

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:60543-14908108@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:20190208T095612 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M Structure Seminar DESCRIPTION:Sarah Keane Lab UID:55754-13777526@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55754 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190121T091456 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T104500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:CSAS Graduate Interdisciplinary Conference on South Asia 2019 DESCRIPTION:For complete details and the conference schedule\, please see the conference website: https://ii.umich.edu/csas/news-events/events/conferences/graduate-interdisciplinary-conference-on-south-asia---February-2019.html\n\nThis one-day conference will be held on Friday\, February 15th in the 10th Floor event space at Weiser Hall.

My teaching interests have evolved to keep pace with my own travels in time. So the courses I have taught include Slavery and South Asian History\, the Gender of South Asian pasts\, Early Modernity in the subcontinent\, and The Power of Performance. \n\nRecently\, I find myself drawn simultaneously to both intellectual and economic histories of the subcontinent. In particular\, I am interested in the ways in which wealth travelled between and within monastic lineages in the past. Having worked on the ways in which monastic governmentality was forgotten in Indian historiography by the early decades of the twentieth century\, I am currently revisiting the costs of such forgetting to women's wealth in eastern India.

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.

Interestingly\, separate but related processes shape these trait differences across biological scales (e.g. microevolution in populations versus assembly of communities). These processes occur simultaneously in all natural systems\, but are only rarely considered together\, stunting a holistic understanding of multi-scale biological systems. Here\, I use dragonfly larvae to investigate (1) how traits are linked to one another across biological scales\, (2) the relative importance of trait change at different biological scales\, and (3) the ecosystem consequences of multi-scale trait change.\n\nImage credit: Tobias David Mankis UID:60968-14997742@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60968 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,department of ecology and evolutionary biology,Museum - Herbarium,Museum - Zoology,Museum Of Zoology,Research,science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190111T121526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic DESCRIPTION:Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic\nJanuary 24\, 2019 – March 2\, 2019\n\nStamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic\, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. 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:59587-14754478@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:20190130T102433 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Redesigning Manufacturing Machines\, Design Tools\, and Robotics for Smart Human Augmented Spatial Interfaces DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe convergence of many factors such as low-cost sensors\, electronics\, computing\, fabrication\, and more recently machine learning\, aided by human interactive interfaces has created the potential to redesign our manufacturing ecosystem. I will describe three themes in our research. First is redesigning design tools and machines around humans to enabling easy access to manufacturing by non-experts. I will provide examples of transforming everyday objects to interactive objects\, mixed dimensional modeling\, and creating objects directly in the physical world. Second\, I will show construction of reconfigurable modular robots and mixed reality interactions with new forms of distributed intelligence and an open system architecture\, that can give rise to vastly new forms of smart machines\, robotic structures\, and functions. Furthermore\, because these robots and machines can be programmed and controlled with just a mobile phone\, the developers of such “low-cost” robotics and machine “apps” do not need programming experiences at all. It will transform high-tech to low-tech and make it accessible to small and medium scale industries. Third\, I will demonstrate new forms of location-aware collaborative intelligence and information exchange between humans-robots and machines. In addition\, new soft interface wearables will free hands to work and interact at the same time\, enabling augmentation. With such possibilities\, our factories can be more productive and agile by using cognitively intuitive\, spatially aware\, and easy to program interactive interfaces that aid the human(s)-robot(s)-machine(s) to work together. Our research directions in artificial intelligence-based human augmentation technologies will have a direct impact on workforce re-skilling programs\, increasing human labor capacity\, factory productivity\, and agility. \n\nBio\nKarthik Ramani is the Donald W.

Marcia Ball grew up in Vinton\, Louisiana\, in the heart of an area overflowing with blues\, zydeco\, and swamp rock. All the female members of her family played the piano. In 1970 Marcia and her first husband were heading for San Francisco\, but their car broke down in Austin\, and that's where she stayed. She put together a trio of talents: piano playing\, songwriting\, and vocals. In 1983 Marcia released her first solo album\, \"Soulful Dress\,\" and ever since then she's been letting the good times roll at The Ark and other clubs around the country where a corps of devoted fans has watched her evolved into a true legend of the piano blues. Marcia has won nine Blues Music Awards\, and she was recently inducted into the Gulf Coast Music Hall of Fame. Come check out music from Marcia's fabulous recent album \"Shine Bright\"!\n\nAfter a dozen acclaimed albums\, virtuoso slide guitarist and bandleader Sonny Landreth has released \"Recorded Live in Lafayette\,\" capturing the one-of-a-kind live Sonny experience. Sonny Landreth has collaborated with the very top names in guitar over the years: Eric Clapton\, Mark Knopfler\, Eric Johnson\, Derek Trucks—the list goes on. The noted slideman cut his musical teeth in The Red Hot Louisiana Band of zydeco king Clifton Chenier\, and he has since recorded and toured with artists ranging from John Mayall to John Hiatt. \"Recorded Live in Lafayette\" adds another major chapter to his tale\, as new vocal and instrumental colors emerge UID:56943-15061103@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56943 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190208T130046 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190215T190000 SUMMARY:Other:The 2019 Schuman Challenge DESCRIPTION:The 2019 Schuman Challenge will welcome undergraduate students from seventeen different U.S. colleges and universities to the EU Delegation to the United States in Washington DC on February 14-15\, 2019.

These advances provide unprecedented opportunities and challenges to tackle much larger and more complicated data in academics and industry. To overcome these difficulties\, massive computing frameworks such as MapReduce and Spark are becoming increasingly important. However\, statistical challenges have not been paid much attention to in the implementation of these frameworks. Recently\, we have proposed to use sufficient statistics instead of the whole data in the analysis. We have investigated the concept of sufficient statistics under the framework of a variety of statistical approaches\, including linear regression and generalized linear models. The current talk will focus on linear regression problems. It will briefly mention the idea to generalized linear models.

Although large scale replication efforts and highly publicized failures to replicate have been the most notable ways of assessing and showcasing the reproducibility of psychological research\, meta-analyses can be a useful option for evaluating the rates of replicability in a population of studies in the literature. However\, since their inception\, meta-analyses have also been the subject of censure. There is the issue of publication bias causing inflated effects\, the problem of the inclusion of the results of under-powered studies and the overlooked complication of heterogeneity. In this talk\, Dominic and Sammy show how meta-analyses can be improved\, including the use of p-curve analyses and continuously cumulating meta-analysis. They then go on to discuss how meta-analyses can serve as diagnostic tools for assessing statistical power\, selective reporting bias\, and between-study heterogeneity and ultimately\, how meta-analyses can themselves be used as way quantify the degree of replicability in psychological science.

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.

The first examines how vocal cues can differentiate heterosexual and non-heterosexual individuals\, and how these distinctions can ultimately lead to job-related discrimination. The second study examines how disclosing a non-heterosexual identity can improve interpersonal outcomes when stigmas become known through indirect cues. The third study meta-analytically examines both the intrapersonal and interpersonal benefits of disclosing/expressing a stigmatized identity\, as well as the boundary conditions of these effects. These studies are representative of my general program of research in that they identify subtle forms of workplace discrimination as well as potential strategies that stigmatized targets can engage in to remediate these barriers.

I discuss the mechanisms underlying the effect\, and also its social cognitive extension: People in general not only have difficulty identifying intellectual weaknesses in themselves but also genius and virtuosity in other people.

One such line of flight is the retraction of the passion itself in Gersholm Scholem’s anecdote about the advent of the messiah in which almost nothing changes\, as retold by Benjamin\, Bloch\, and now Blumenberg. Here Blumenberg returns to his earlier concerns with Gnosticism (Legitmacy\, 1966) and considers a different answer to what has gone so wrong with creation that it needs to be destroyed.\n\nPaul Fleming is Professor of Comparative Literature and German Studies as well as the Taylor Family Director of the Society for the Humanities. He has published monographs on Exemplarity and Mediocrity: The Art of the Average from Bourgeois Tragedy to Realism (2009) and The Pleasures of Abandonment: Jean Paul and the Life of Humor (2006) along with edited volumes on Hans Blumenberg\, Siegfried Kracauer\, the scholars around Stefan George\, and Ulrich Peltzer. He is currently co-translating Blumenberg’s The Saint Matthew Passion for Cornell Press as well as completing a book-length project that examines the use of the anecdote in and as theory with respect to questions of exemplarity\, evidence\, history\, and rhetoric.

A natural question is how local fields in AdS can be expressed in terms of the CFT. In the 1/N expansion this can be done by (i) identifying suitable building blocks - free bulk fields - in the CFT\, (ii) assembling the building blocks to make interacting bulk fields. I'll present an approach where the first step is carried out using modular flow in the CFT and the second step is driven by requiring bulk causality.

A natural question is how local fields in AdS can be expressed in terms of the CFT. In the 1/N expansion this can be done by (i) identifying suitable building blocks - free bulk fields - in the CFT\, (ii) assembling the building blocks to make interacting bulk fields. I'll present an approach where the first step is carried out using modular flow in the CFT and the second step is driven by requiring bulk causality.

All are welcome. Light refreshments will be served.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nHandmade Events\n\nEvents in the world unfold in different ways and the way we use language to talk about the world reflects these differences. However\, a central tenet of contemporary linguistics is that language is not an “anything goes” kind of system. In this talk\, I’ll present a series of studies that explore communicative (and\, to a lesser extent\, cognitive) biases in how we talk about events\, focusing on what happens when how we talk about events is with our hands. These studies examine (a) abstract linguistic structures that underlie both sign and speech\, (b) modality effects that shape how these structures are manifested in signed versus spoken languages\, and (c) patterns in gesture that suggest certain phenomena may be driven by broader communicative biases and not restricted to language.

Even as coal plants closed last year at a record pace\, carbon emissions increased more than three percent\, the second-largest increase in two decades. Nuclear energy can and should play a key role in addressing climate change. Nuclear energy provides about 20% of the electricity in the United States but approximately 60% of the clean energy. Other characteristics of nuclear energy can help address additional concerns of today\, such as energy resiliency\, energy security\, and boosting the U.S.’s geopolitical influence. From an economic perspective\, the nuclear energy industry provides a large source of skilled\, high paying jobs and contributes approximately 60 billion dollars to the gross domestic product. The nuclear industry plays an important if not fully recognized role in our society. To preserve and sustain a robust nuclear energy industry\, some of its attributes must be recognized by the energy market\, and efforts underway have resulted in positive action at both the state and federal level. At every plant in the nation\, efficiencies are being implemented and innovative technologies are being deployed to help maintain the safety of the plants while concurrently reducing costs. Attributes of the nuclear energy industry as well as industry-led initiative\n\nBio: Dr. Jennifer Uhle is Vice President of Generation and Suppliers at the Nuclear Energy Institute. Prior to joining NEI\, Jennifer was the Director of Reactor Safety Programs at Jensen Hughes\, a consulting company to the nuclear industry where she worked in the area of advanced reactors\, thermal-hydraulics and regulatory affairs. Prior to joining JENSEN HUGHES\, she served at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for 23 years in several positions including the Deputy Director of the Offices of Nuclear Regulatory Research and Nuclear Reactor Regulation and the Director of the Office of New Reactors. Jennifer obtained her B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in nuclear engineering from MIT in 1991 and 1996\, respectively\, with a specialization in reactor systems and design. She served as the U.S. representative to the IAEA’s first fact finding mission to Fukushima in 2011. She has over 24 years of experience in the nuclear industry.

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

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

Fraker Conference at the University of Michigan will take as its point of departure the complicated interactions of space\, place\, and mapping\, in all of their contexts. This conference hopes to both clarify and complicate the notion of spatiality which arose during what Foucault referred to as the “epoch of space” and has continued to develop after the “spatial turn” in the humanities at the end of the 20th century. Further\, we hope with this conference to place a focus on geocriticism\, a term developed in part by Robert Tally\, Jr.\, whom we are delighted to welcome as our keynote speaker.\n\nThe broad understandings and implications of space do not permit a facile definition nor do they warrant one. Instead of conceptualizing space as a backdrop for historicism\, modern critics choose to regard space as an actor with significant agency. The goal of this conference is not to effect a common definition of the complexities of space\, but rather to embrace these intricacies through dialogue. As we know\, physical space is ubiquitous and\, at times\, unremarkable or invisible. It can welcome us or alienate us\; place us at the center\, in the margins\, in between\, or beyond\; facilitate or hinder our movement\, choices\, and behavior\; and influence our very thoughts. It follows that our work is similarly affected by spatial concerns. What can we learn from the spaces created by cultural production?​ ​How does space affect the production of knowledge? How does space relate to power\, or to memory\, or to narrative?\nThis year\, we welcome panelists from Brown\, Concordia (Montréal)\, CUNY\, Emory\, Purdue\, Rutgers\, SUNY–Buffalo\, Texas State\, UCSB\, UAlberta\, UChicago\, UVirginia\, UW–Madison\, and UT–Austin\, as well as our own University of Michigan. In recent years\, papers have been given in different Romance languages as well as in English\; 2019 will be no exception as our program includes panelists from across languages and disciplines.\n\nThe conference will take place on the 15-16th February 2019 at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor. On Friday\, 15th February\, it will be held in the Michigan League\, and on Saturday\, 16th February\, it will be held in the Rackham Graduate School\; both buildings are near Ingalls Mall on UM’s Central Campus.\n \nThe keynote address will be delivered on Saturday at 5PM in the Rackham Amphitheatre.

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:60543-14908109@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:20190211T120330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190216T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190216T160000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Winter 2019 Iran Symposium DESCRIPTION:Workshops:\nThe Iranian Revolution and Its Disciplinary Aftereffects\n1014 Tisch Hall\nFebruary 15\, 12PM - 3PM (Eisenberg Forum)\nFebruary 16\, 10AM - 4PM\n\nFilm Festival\n40 Years After the Revolution\nRackham Amphitheater\nJanuary 20 - February 24\, 3 - 5PM\n(Screenings every Sunday)\n\nArt Exhibit\nInner Fragments\nDuderstadt Gallery\nFebruary 19 - March 3 UID:58900-14576215@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58900 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Film,History,Interdisciplinary,symposium LOCATION:Tisch Hall - 1014 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190204T084104 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190216T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190216T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Saturday Morning Physics | Are Concussions the Downfall of Football?

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:59587-14754479@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:20190116T153300 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190216T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190216T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:2019 Media & Studio Arts Symposium DESCRIPTION:A diverse community of presenters representing students\, alumni\, staff\, faculty\, and industry professionals will be sharing their expertise\, experience and collaborations.

When Ben Daniels decided he was going to be a musician\, it was more than a career choice. A natural poet\, this young songwriter went to school on Bob Dylan\, Robert Johnson\, and Jack White\, among others.

From their opening song to the finale of their set\, The Ben Daniels Band brings originality and musicianship to a sound that spans Americana\, blues\, jazz\, and rock. What Ben inherited from his father is\, perhaps\, a feeling for what it takes to live life as an artist\, to reach out and create not just songs but anthems with arrangements that pull people in.
