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from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic.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

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:60543-14908110@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:20190111T121526 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190217T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190217T170000 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:59587-14754480@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:20190217T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190217T170000 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.

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:59301-14728288@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:20190110T125845 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190217T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:Jazzy Ash & The Leaping Lizards DESCRIPTION:Jazzy Ash grew up with a mother from New Orleans and a father from Trinidad\, and music infused her home life every day\, from jazz to Caribbean rhythms to the lively children’s music which was playing all the time for the kids in her mother’s home day care. She often spent summers in New Orleans with her aunts and grandparents\, enjoying the culture and music that permeated their West Bank neighborhood. Later on\, after becoming mom to two sons\, she earned a degree in early childhood development and embarked on her music education program\, Leaping Lizards Music\, and that evolved into a band\, Jazzy Ash and The Leaping Lizards. They've had the pleasure of performing at Lincoln Center and Symphony Space in New York\, Getty Center in California\, World Cafe Live in Philadelphia\, Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts\, and the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. Jazzy Ash's music has been featured by LA Times and NPR\, and continues to top the children's music charts.\n\nSeries tickets for four children's shows available (this show\, plus Justin Roberts 1/13\, Gemini 3/24\, and Recess Monkey 5/5)!\n\nTickets:\n\nAdult:\n\nhttps://tinyurl.com/y7zp4lxg\n\nKids:\n\nhttps://tinyurl.com/y7jwqrft UID:58320-14461172@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58320 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190211T143838 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190217T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190217T143000 SUMMARY:Ceremony / Service:Let Freedom Ring: Sunday Service Celebration During Black History Month DESCRIPTION:Another “Chicken-N-Jesus” production!

He basically changed the whole nature of American composition in the late twentieth-century\; there is literally almost no music of the last 40 years that has not been touched by his compositions. In 1970 he announced with his Caprice Variations for Solo Violin his intention to change everything and with the Third String Quartet closely following succeeded in doing just that!

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

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

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:60543-14908111@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:20190212T103128 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190218T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190218T140000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Black History Month: Vision Board Party DESCRIPTION:Create your own vision board.

However\, media portrayals of women are often quite limited\, with heavy emphasis on their beauty\, sexiness\, and sexual appeal. How might regular exposure to this content shape how young women view themselves and their abilities? Most of the existing research testing this question has focused on traditional media\, mainly magazines\, and on consequences for young women’s mental health. In this talk\, I present findings from several studies that extend this work by testing contributions of traditional and social media\, and consequences for girls’ and young women’s sexual health\, experiences of intimate partner violence\, and academic cognitions.

This includes both (i) normally recurring microclimate conditions driven by thermal variations and/or normal wind for building energy performance design\, and (ii) extreme climate conditions such as hurricane landfall\, tornado touchdown or extreme winter for capacity and safety design. Alan Davenport’s “wind-loading-chain” links the modelling of extreme synoptic wind\, exposure\, aerodynamics\, and dynamics to particular design criteria. Its expansion to (i) non-synoptic extreme winds such as tornadoes and downbursts\; (ii) normal micro-climatic loads such as thermal loads\, (iii) optimal tall building/bridge aerodynamic solutions\; (iv) performance based wind design methods for emerging tall-mass-timber buildings\; and (v) community level wind performance assessments\, will be presented\, through representative research projects from each category. The roles of computational fluid dynamics and Artificial Intelligence (deployed at SHARCNet) complimenting the physical experiments (enabled by the Boundary Layer Wind\nTunnel Laboratory and WindEEE Dome) in realizing windresilient and sustainable architectural engineering will be emphasized.\n\nDr. Bitsuamlak is Canada Research Chair in Wind Engineering at Western University.

From Hope to Hate: The Rise of Conservative Subjectivity in Brazil DESCRIPTION:Brazilians have recently elected a far-right president\, Jair Bolsonaro\, a former army captain. The talk introduces the general panorama of Brazilian macro and micro politics from ‘Lula-ism’ to ‘Bolsonaro-ism’\, marked respectively by the rise and fall of economic growth as well as by democratic collapse. These changes in national development have also shaped the individual self and the capacity to aspire to a better life\, as well as ways of doing politics and understanding the world. An examination of these processes can help us understand how the very citizens that exemplified Brazil's rise as a global democratic power came to support military intervention and Bolsonaro. \n \nPinheiro-Machado will draw on her longitudinal ethnography (with Dr. Lucia Scalco) on consumption and politics among young people from Morro da Cruz\, the largest favela of Porto Alegre. In an effort to understand the conservative subjectivity that has emerged amongst low income groups (especially amongst male voters) the researchers have been following youth since 2009\, through the political polarization that took place in Brazil after 2013\, to the recent transformations that resulted in the election of Bolsonaro. \n----\n \nRosana Pinheiro-Machado is a social scientist and an anthropologist at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM\, Brazil). Previously\, she was a Lecturer at the Department of International Development at University of Oxford\, and held visiting positions at University of São Paulo and Harvard University. She is the author of the award winning book ‘Counterfeit Itineraries in the Global South (Routledge 2017) as well as numerous peer-review journal articles. With Dr Lucia Scalco\, Pinheiro-Machado has been carrying out ethnographic research on the ‘politics of the poor’ since 2009. They are currently completing a book manuscript entitled: From Hope to Hate: Poverty and Politics in Brazil’s Lula and Bolsonaro. Funded by the Australian Research Council\, she is part of a team examining the new consumer practices in the Global South (Mexico\, Brazil\, China\, and Philippines). Pinheiro-Machado also acts as a public intellectual and writes for The Intercept Brasil.

Since its first observing campaign\, in 2013\, DES has produced many exciting results\, including: the most precise cosmological measurements from weak gravitational lensing of 400M galaxies\, the first ever observation of the optical transient associated with a gravitational wave emitting astrophysical event (the binary neutron star merger GW1708117)\, and the first ever measurement of the rate of expansion of the universe using a dark gravitational wave standard siren (the binary black hole merger GW170814). After six years of data taking\, on January 9 2019 DES completed its main survey observations. The collaboration now focuses on obtaining the most precise cosmological measurements\, and prepare for target of opportunity observations of upcoming gravitational wave events. In this talk\, I present an overview of the most exciting science produced by DES so far and discuss the prospects for the next few years before the start of the next-generation survey with the upcoming LSST instrument.\n UID:59061-14677936@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59061 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190218T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190218T180000 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.

The availability of proteins\, fats\, and carbohydrates differ markedly from one plant species to the next. Moreover\, plants contain a dazzling array of “secondary metabolites” that are often toxic to consumers. However\, in low doses\, plant toxins can also serve as medicines\, protecting herbivores from agents of disease. Like humans\, many other animals exploit the natural pharmaceuticals in plants to mitigate the effects of parasite infection. This lecture will explore the ecology and evolution of medication behaviors in animals. As herbivores forage for food\, they must manage the competing demands of gaining adequate nutrition\, avoiding their predators\, and choosing appropriate medicines from the Great Green Pharmacy. Medication behaviors can be therapeutic\, in which medicines are consumed only after infection\, or prophylactic\, in which medicines are consumed prior to infection. Medication behaviors can also serve to protect the individual actor (self-medication) or their relatives (kin or social medication). Examples will show how different ecological conditions favor the evolution of different medication behaviors. Concentrations of toxins in plants also vary substantially based on environmental conditions\, including soil quality\, air quality\, and biotic interactions. Therefore\, the forces of global environmental change threaten the pharmaceutical use of plants by animals. Conservation of the Great Green Pharmacy is vitally important to the biological diversity of life on Earth.\n\nAbout the professor\nMark Hunter is the Earl E. Werner Distinguished University Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan. He received his bachelor’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Oxford in England. After serving as a NATO International Fellow and an NSERC International Fellow\, he joined the faculty of the University of Georgia\, where he served as Professor in the Institute of Ecology and as founding Director of the Center for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Processes. He joined the University of Michigan in January 2006. His research interests include plant-animal interactions\, ecosystem ecology\, biodiversity\, and population dynamics. Professor Hunter has published over 150 research articles and written or edited six books. He is the recipient of both a CAREER Award and an OPUS award from the National Science Foundation\, and in 2014 was elected a Fellow of the Ecological Society of America.

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.

Although most of their artwork is textile based\, members use many different techniques. The theme of this exhibit is Inspired\, and the art quilts on display incorporate elements of assemblage\, collage and painting. The exhibit showcases the round robin approach that guided the creation of the work: the first artist made something which inspired the work of the second artist\, which inspired the work of the third artist\, and so on. A brief statement about the inspiration is included with each piece.

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

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

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:59301-14728290@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:20190219T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T170000 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:60543-14908112@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:20190206T092132 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T113000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Informal methods talk/roundtable: Current issues in computational neuroimaging of brain function DESCRIPTION:.

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

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

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society.

The 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak in West Africa alone took over ten thousand lives despite international aid nearing $5 billion from 70 countries. In retrospect\, the declaration of the Public Health Emergency of International Concern came late\, over 4 months after the first international transmission event. These apparent systemic failures likely reflect the fact that emergent epidemics are incredibly difficult to predict. The last decade saw Ebola emerge in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2018\, 2017\, 2014 and 2012\, as well as Uganda in 2007\, but these previous outbreaks never exceeded a few hundred cases\, compared to nearly 30\,000 cases in the West African epidemic. \n\nA key problem is that the dynamics of emergent epidemics are shaped in large part by societal and behavioral factors\, which are all highly variable. We will discuss these behavioral factors using stories from local communities\, contact tracing\, genomic data\, and reports from the most extensive social mobilization effort to date. All of these distinct data sources influence how we use and interpret models from epidemiology\, network theory and collective behavior. Slowly but surely\, this synergy data sources and modeling approaches should pave the way for a new approach to epidemiology.

Macdonald\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Aerospace Engineering & Mechanics Department\, University of Minnesota\n\nThe gas flow around a hypersonic vehicle involves many different physical phenomena occurring on a broad range of time and length scales. In particular\, non-equilibrium chemistry directly affects the heat transfer to the vehicle. The conventional approach to model chemical non-equilibrium was developed nearly 40 years ago and relies heavily on calibration with heritage experimental data. Recent advances in both computational chemistry and computational resources have enabled the construction of extremely detailed models for the chemical non-equilibrium effects based on ab initio quantum chemistry data\, called the state-to-state (StS) approach. Unfortunately\, due to their enormous cost StS calculations can only be used in highly simplified test cases. This motivates the development of reduced order models for chemical non-equilibrium. The model reduction framework proposed is based on the maximum-entropy principle\, and leverages quasi-classical trajectory (i.e.\, atomistic) calculations to compute n-moment kinetic data for a reduced set of molecular states\, thus providing the crucial link between the ab initio quantum chemistry data and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The talk covers the key aspects involved in model development\, namely: the model reduction framework\, the use of scattering calculations to integrate the ab initio data\, and the application of the model to CFD.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nDr. Robyn Macdonald received her B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2013. In December 2018\, she successfully defended her PhD thesis with her work titled “Reduced-order model framework for thermochemical non-equilibrium hypersonic flows”. Her PhD research focused on the development of quantum chemistry informed reduced order models for thermochemical non-equilibrium hypersonic flows. She is currently a post-doctoral research fellow at the Computational Hypersonics Research Lab at the University of Minnesota studying turbulence in hypersonic flows. Dr. Macdonald is recipient of National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship (2015)\; and her post-doctoral research is supported by the President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (2018). During her PhD she received a number of awards: including the NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship (declined to accept NDSEG)\, Zonta Amelia Earhart Fellowship (declined to accept NDSEG)\, and AE Faculty Outstanding Graduate Student Award from the department of Aerospace Engineering at UIUC. In addition\, her work on reduced order models for thermochemical non-equilibrium\, first presented at the AIAA Aviation Forum 2017\, was awarded the Weaver Thermophysics Best Student Paper Award from AIAA as well as selected as Editor’s Pick when published in the Journal of Chemical Physics.

Making a New Europe: A Transnational Ethnography of Far-right Activism DESCRIPTION:Contemporary far-right activists in Europe are often portrayed as anti-European. Given that “Bruxelles” is one of their chief enemies\, such a portrayal might seem legitimate. The far-right critique of the European Union\, however\, ought not to be read as a simple rejection of Europe. Numerous far-right groups represent themselves as Europe’s defenders\, faithful “believers” and “practitioners” of the “true” – white\, Christian – Europe\, and consider the EU to be their Europe’s enemy. \n \nBased on ethnographic fieldwork among far-right activists in Italy\, Poland\, and Hungary\, Pasieka examines how far-right actors conceptualize regional and national sovereignty vis-à-vis a broader European context\; how they perceive individual\, civic\, and social rights\; and how they relate those to the widely debated issues of migration and multicultural diversity. Her multi-sited ethnography sheds much needed light on the challenges far-right movements and parties address\, and the reasons why they are increasingly compelling to many. \n \nAgnieszka Pasieka holds an M.A. in sociology (Jagiellonian University\, Kraków) and a Ph.D. in social anthropology (Martin Luther University\, Halle).

However\, a close examination of British civil servants’ domestic desires and relationships in Sudan reveal domesticity as a site of instability and persistent negotiation. Never formally declared a colony\, Sudan’s marginal position within the British Empire resulted\, in turn\, in a marginalization of domestic desires\, which were hidden\, ignored\, or relegated to “back-home” in England. Working with an expanded understanding of “domestic\,” this paper traces complex and contested intimacies through a homosocial culture of bachelors\, shifting relationships with Sudanese household help\, and a generous yet disruptive annual leave policy. It reanimates the experiences of male and female civil servants\, recasting them from fixed models of state power and instead recognizing their much more vulnerable position as desiring subjects in search of domestic care and comforts.\n\n\nMarie Grace Brown (B.A.\, Bryn Mawr College\; Ph.D.\, University of Pennsylvania) is an Associate Professor of Middle East History at the University of Kansas. Her award-winning first book\, Khartoum at Night: Fashion and Body Politics in Imperial Sudan (Stanford University Press\, 2017)\, argues that Sudanese women used fashion and their bodies to mark and make meaning of the shifting sociopolitical systems of imperial rule. Before her career in academia\, Brown worked at a nonprofit providing legal assistance to immigrant women fleeing gender-based violence. Her research has been supported by grants and fellowships from the American Association of University Women\, the Social Science Research Council\, and the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.

Current methods reduce nitrogen to ammonia at high temperatures and pressures. This seminar will discuss our research into low-temperature nitrogen fixation\, as well as new mechanisms that lead to organic products from nitrogen. One of our strategies borrows from the natural enzyme\, nitrogenase\, which uses an unusual iron-sulfur cluster whose atomic-level mechanism is mysterious. This motivates the development of iron-sulfur complexes with unusual shapes\, and study of their interactions with nitrogen and other nitrogenase substrates. Another strategy involves low-coordinate iron coordination compounds\, which display new mechanisms for breaking the N-N bond of nitrogen. Studies on low-valent iron compounds have led to the first example of converting nitrogen and arenes directly into aniline products. \n \n \n \n \nPat Holland (Yale University) UID:55303-13716036@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CHEM CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190128T135123 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190219T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UROP Workshop - Creating Posters with PowerPoint DESCRIPTION:Student registration through the TTC required:\nThis workshop is designed for those students whose research projects require PowerPoint.

The 2018 Winter Olympic Games offers a useful occasion through which this complexity of Korean nationalism can be examined. I observed at least four distinctive discourses on Korean identity being displayed via the winter sporting competition: pan Korean ethno-nationalism\, South Korean state patriotism\, post-colonialism\, and cosmopolitanism. Some of these nationalist views are mutually exclusive\, and this situation gave rise to the tensions and divisions between political parties and pressure groups in South Korea during the sports mega-event. This indicates that the characteristics of Korean nationalism are constantly in flux\, and each nationalist ideology is continually campaigning for securing a dominant position in Korean culture and politics. This also suggests that it is necessary to consider the intersection between primodialism and constructionism\, and between civic and organic national identities in order to draw a more accurate picture of the spectrum of Korean nationalism today. It that sense\, I argue that sport is not simply a physical contest between athletes but more importantly is a field of the hegemonic struggle between adherents of different nationalism. \n \nJung Woo Lee is Programme Director of MSc Sport Policy\, Management and International Development\, and Lecturer in Sport and Leisure Policy at the University of Edinburgh\, United Kingdom.

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:59301-14728291@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:20190220T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T170000 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:60543-14908113@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:20190220T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T113000 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. Her training has been in genetic epidemiology\, public health\, and statistics using SAS (local)\, R (server)\, Linux (on FLUX\, MBNI\, and other personal servers)\, batch scripting (SGE\, PBS\, Slurm). Dr. Ware has taught SAS (data management and statistical modeling) and introductory statistics using R. She is experienced in teaching high performance computing to individuals with limited programming background. \n\nIn this hackerspace\, Dr. Ware is particularly interested in addressing issues of data manipulation in Linux\, efficient documentation and file naming structures\, data management (SAS/R)\, setting up an HPC connection\, WinSCP\, getting around a server using basic Linux\, genomic analysis\, and high-dimensional data analysis. Dr. Ware would like to learn about SFTP using Globus\, Python\, and more advanced batch scripting in Slurm. Dr. Ware hopes you will join her hackerspace this term.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

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:59587-14754482@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:20190220T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T120000 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Schokoladenstunde DESCRIPTION:Schokoladenstunde will take place in the comfy seating area between the two computer classrooms in the Language Resource Center.

Our ability to effectively care for our patients with NS is hampered by a limited understanding of its underlying molecular mechanisms. Major progress has been made through the discovery of more than 50 single-gene causes of NS. But altogether these explain less than 15% of cases in the U.S. To gain a more complete picture of the genetic architecture of NS\, we need to go beyond Mendelian gene discovery. In this seminar\, I will present work done by our group to achieve this goal\, with a particular focus on unique opportunities that result from integrating genome-scale omics datasets with deep phenotypic data in the longitudinal NEPTUNE NS cohort.

Having learned to exert nearly complete control over single atoms\, what are the new frontiers? One direction is to now exert similar levels of control over the interactions and correlations between atoms\, with examples including quantum computing with trapped ions\, quantum many-body simulations in degenerate atomic gases\, and the deterministic assembly of molecules. Our lab has been asking the question: is it also possible to exploit atom-atom correlations and entanglement to advance the field of precision measurement beyond the single-atom paradigm that dominates the field? Using laser-cooled and trapped rubidium and strontium atoms inside of high finesse optical cavities\, we have explored this question along two fronts by surpassing the standard quantum limit on quantum phase estimation by a factor of 60 and overcoming thermal limits on laser frequency stability. If time permits\, I will also discuss the emergence of spin-exchange interactions between atoms mediated by the optical cavity. Possible future impacts include robust millihertz linewidth optical lasers\, advanced optical lattice clocks\, and searches for new physics.\n UID:61223-15054306@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61223 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190208T103032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Panel. Human Rights in North Korea: Crimes Against Humanity\, Advocacy for Change\, and Future Prospects DESCRIPTION:As negotiations for denuclearization continues between the US and North Korea\, the severe state of human rights situations in North Korea has again been de-emphasized by the international community. Yet the persecution of real or imagined dissenters continue\, as do the systematic human rights abuses of the Kim regime\, which has been classified by the United Nations as crimes against humanity. Activists in South Korea and abroad have advocated for these concerns to be given top priority but those calls have largely been unheeded by leaders engaging with North Korea. What exactly is happening in North Korea\, what kinds of activism has emerged to address these concerns\, and what might be the ways forward to improve the lives of the North Korean people? This panel features three prominent experts of human rights in North Korea who will share their perspectives on these questions as a legal expert\, an NGO advocate\, and a defector who survived one of North Korea’s infamous prison camps\, respectively.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, International Policy Center\, Law School\, and Nam Center for Korean Studies.\n \n Panelists: \n \n Kang Cheol Hwan \n Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors\, North Korea Strategy Center \n\nKang Cheol Hwan is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of North Korea Strategy Center U.S.\, Inc. and the founder of North Korea Strategy Center (“NKSC”) in Seoul\, South Korea. Mr. Kang is a journalist\, author\, and North Korean defector. Born in 1968 in Pyongyang\, North Korea\, at the age of nine\, he and his entire family were imprisoned in the Yodok concentration camp by the government of dictator Kim Il Sung after Kang’s grandfather was accused of treason. For ten years\, Mr. Kang was subjected to the brutal conditions of the camp\, where he and some members of his family endured starvation\, torture\, and the threat of execution. After he was released from the camp\, Mr. Kang bought an illegal radio receiver to listen to broadcasts from South Korea. In 1992\, he made the decision to defect and escaped North Korea by crossing the Yalu River into China\, eventually immigrating to South Korea. In 2000\, he published “The Aquariums of Pyongyang\,” a description of his experiences and the very first survivor account of North Korea’s concentration camps. Mr. Kang is a staff writer for the South Korean newspaper\, the Chosun Ilbo. In 2003\, he was awarded the National Endowment for Democracy’s “Democracy Award” and in 2006\, he was selected as one of Times’ “Asian Heroes”. After years of North Korean human rights activism\, Mr. Kang came to the conclusion that expecting change from the North Korean government was not feasible. Without change and enlightenment of the North Korean people\, without bridging the gap between the two Koreas\, peaceful unification is not possible. Based on this belief\, in 2007\, Mr. Kang founded NKSC with the goals of disseminating uncensored information in North Korea\, empowering North Korean defectors to become advocates of democracy\, and raising awareness on North Korean human rights issues. \n \n Jared Genser \n Managing Director\, Perseus Strategies \n \nJared Genser is Managing Director of Perseus Strategies\, a public interest law firm. Referred to by the New York Times as “The Extractor\,” he is also Founder of Freedom Now\, a non-governmental organization that works to free prisoners of conscience worldwide.

But one instance in centuries-long history of Black people in Germany\, “Milli” remains silent\, speaking volumes about how Black women have been reduced to anonymous objects of desire. Milli’s awakening seeks to intervene in this history\, by bringing together the voices of eight Black German women of different generations. Through their artistic practices they have defined self-determined positions within white German mainstream society. Like a quilt\, the film unfolds in a way reflecting the diversity and interwoven nature of these (hi)stories.\n\nThe German Film Series begins with a light dinner at 6:30 pm followed by introduction of the screening at 7:00 pm. **Screened in German with English subtitles. With Q&A in English with director Natasha Kelly following the film.

A few years later\, in 1391\, Martínez’s threat became reality when hundreds of Seville’s Jews were massacred during a violent riot\, and the community’s synagogues were destroyed or converted into churches. How were Seville’s Jews able to construct many new houses of worship in the city\, dodging secular and ecclesiastical prohibitions? Why did synagogues become the focal point of Martínez’s anti-Jewish campaign? The talk will attempt to answer these questions while examining Jewish life in the kingdom of Castile just before the tragic events of 1391 changed it forever. \n\nIf you have a disability that requires an accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstudies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.

Within this music are the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions. The group borrows heavily from a traditional music called isicathamiya (is-cot-a-ME-Ya)\, which developed in the mines of South Africa\, where black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and their families. Assembled in the early 1960s in South Africa by Joseph Shabalala\, then a young farm boy turned factory worker\, the group took the name Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Ladysmith is the name of Joseph’s hometown\, about three hours west of Durban and three hours east of Johannesburg\; Black being a reference to the oxen\, the strongest of all farm animals\; and Mambazo being the Zulu word for chopping axe\, a symbol of the group’s ability to \"chop down\" any singing rival who might challenge them. A radio broadcast in 1970 opened the door to their first record contract—the beginning of an ambitious discography that currently includes more than 50 recordings (including Paul Simon's \"Graceland\") and has earned three Grammy awards UID:58005-14390318@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58005 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190220T145803 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190220T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:University Philharmonia Orchestra DESCRIPTION:Kenneth Kiesler\, director of orchestras\nOriol Sans\, associate director of orchestras\n\nThis annual concert of new works by student composers\, led by student conductors\, and played by student musicians is often one of the most inspiring concerts of the year.

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.

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.

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.

The expansion of the electrical grid cascades out into the engine\, where the generators extract power from. This dissertation develops advanced predictive control strategies that account for the interactions between the subsystems in order to enable the potential benefits of a More Electric Aircraft (MEA)\, such as improved efficiency and reliability. \n\nFirst\, models representing the engine and power subsystems of the MEA\, including their interactions\, are developed. The control objective in this MEA system is to actuate the engine and power subsystem inputs to satisfy demands for thrust and power loads while enforcing constraints on compressor surge\nand bus voltage deviations. \n\nSecond\, model predictive control (MPC) strategies incorporating disturbance rejection\, coordination between the subsystems\, and anticipation of the changes in the power loads are shown to be effective in the MEA.\n\nThird\, a Distributed MPC is formulated that accounts for separately developed subsystems through controller privacy and differences in update rates.\n\nFinally\, a Scenario Based MPC is proposed to handle stochastic transitions in the thrust and power load references.

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:60543-14908114@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754483@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:20190215T162521 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T123000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE Seminar Series: Maciek Antoniewicz DESCRIPTION:Centennial Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering\nUniversity of Delaware\n\nABSTRACT\n“Towards a Holistic Understanding of Cellular Metabolism”\n\nMeasuring intracellular fluxes by 13C metabolic flux analysis (13C-MFA) has become a key activity in metabolic engineering\, biotechnology and medicine. Here\, I will present important new advances that have extended the scope of this technology to more complex biological systems\, including dynamic\, interacting\, and evolving systems. One of the key 13C-MFA technical advances that was pioneered in our lab centers on the use of parallel labeling experiments for metabolic pathway discovery. In this presentation\, I will describe several surprising new metabolic pathways that we have discovered in central carbon metabolism in microbes\, including E. coli\, as well as mammalian cells using this new powerful technology. These metabolic pathways have been ”hidden” from our view so far because they cannot be estimated using traditional experiments. Only through the use of carefully selected tracers and parallel labeling experiments are we able to visualize these pathways. Applications in cancer medicine\, phermaceutical production\, and synthetic biology will be discussed.

In this sense Tokyo prefers Trump’s type of leadership to Obama’s. However\, as the U.S.-China relations become confrontational\, Japan has to make sure that they will not spill over to itself. Trade war between Washington and Beijing will affect Japanese trade and eventually its economy. Military tensions in the South China Sea may prevent Japan’s vital trading route from safe use. China is conducting “smile diplomacy” for Japan and is trying to drive a wedge between Japan and the United States. Japan should sustain the strong alliance with the United States in this triangular relationship.\n\nPresident of the Research Institute for Peace and Security\, which he assumed in 2006.

If you’re interested in doing this as well please let me know. {smiley face emoji}.” What began as a Facebook group\, turned into an army of volunteers in a matter of weeks. The massive nonpartisan citizen campaign\, now named Voters Not Politicians\, gathered over 400\,000 signatures to put redistricting reform on the Michigan ballot. The ballot initiative sought to create an independent commission to determine voting districts in Michigan. Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved the ballot measure in November 2018. The success of Fahey’s campaign has made it a model for anti-gerrymandering campaigns—and citizen organizing—across the nation. As Tina Rosenberg wrote in the New York Times\, “If you doubt that a private citizen can make a difference\, meet Fahey.”\n\nRSVP REQUIRED: https://myumi.ch/65kpB UID:61081-15027220@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61081 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Democracy,Politics,Pre Law,Pre-Law,Social Impact,Social Justice,Sociology LOCATION:LSA Building - 4154 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191203T142021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations Graduate Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**\n\nSandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills.

During the dry season\, farmers and land managers burn small plots of land to eliminate expired crops\, return nutrients to the soil\, or to clear trees and brush for planting. In this talk\, I present remote sensing observations which establish a cyclical link between drought and wildfire\, and discuss how climate change has made (and will make) Africa hotter\, and drier\, and therefore more susceptible to destructive fire.

It considers how Girmay and Uribe each construct a poetics of citation and assemblage that rework grief over the violence of border regimes\, from the militarized deportation regime for African migrants in Israel to the U.S.-led transnational drug war that both prompts and exploits border politics. Such poetry incorporates ancient Greek narratives and contemporary geopolitical realities to press against humanitarian and citizenship-centered understandings of mourning\, justice\, and sovereignty. The talk explores how Girmay and Uribe’s poetry of grief envision a future-oriented politics of the living in a time of war and global apartheid on the right to move.\n\n\nAngela Naimou is Associate Professor of English at Clemson University and co-editor of the journal Humanity.

His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

Pangborn\nPhD Candidate\, NSF Graduate Research Fellow\, and Teaching Fellow\nDepartment of Mechanical Science and Engineering\nUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\n\nAircraft energy systems are governed by nonlinear dynamics spanning multiple timescales and physical domains. They can be viewed as ‘systems-of-systems\,’ forming complex networks of interconnected elements that convert\, store\, and exchange energy. Due to electrification and increasing on-board power demands\, managing the thermal and electrical energy of these systems has become a significant challenge\, limiting their capability\, safety\, and efficiency. This talk will present a hierarchical control framework for vehicle energy management that meets this challenge by facilitating the coordination of dynamics across multiple physical domains and timescales. Analysis methods ensure the stability and feasibility of this control framework\, while experimental validation certifies its applicability as game-changing technology for advanced vehicles\, bridging the theory-practice gap. Recent results to be presented include a hardware-in-the-loop implementation of electro-thermal hierarchical control and a decentralized passivity-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach that leverages the system structure to guarantee closed-loop stability\, including under switching. These tools are applicable to conditions in which the environment serves as a heat sink\, such as subsonic and supersonic aircraft\, as well as a heat source\, such as hypersonic and space systems. While the talk will focus primarily on the former\, a brief discussion of the latter will be included.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nHerschel C. Pangborn is a PhD candidate\, NSF Graduate Research Fellow\, and Teaching Fellow at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

In this seminar\, I explain my plans to abandon the concept\, arguing that modern technology and the nature of cutting edge problems in evolutionary genetics are beyond the scope of its capabilities. In the process\, I summarize the range of projects related to the fitness landscape that I’ve recently explored on the brink of my departure\, including clonal interference\, the context-dependence of higher-order epistasis\, and the drugability of antibiotics. In closing\, I introduce several new conceptual tropes that are better equipped to address modern questions in evolutionary biology.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/3dq3kXLA4K0 UID:49664-11487548@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49664 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190207T125938 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: White Nationalists Dream of the Ethnostate DESCRIPTION:This talk traces the genealogy of the ethnostate\, often envisioned by white nationalists in the United States as the ultimate destination in a racially reordered world.

They can develop via a cluster of inter-related processes\, including bedrock dissolution\, rock collapse\, soil washing away\, and soil collapse. Current practices involved in the sinkhole hazard assessment are generally of a qualitative\, empirical nature and largely based on geological characteristics of the karst terrains. This talk aims to present a quantitative analysis of the interplay of multiple mechanisms involved during sinkhole development. The dominant mechanism behind sinkholes formed in rocks is the dissolution of soluble karstic rocks. Dissolution process may be enhanced by potentially aggressive groundwater acidity and the presence of caves or fissures. Specific dissolution rate of the constituent mineral (limestone or dolomite) and the surface area available for reaction are related via a chemo-mechanical coupling with the consideration of the damage-enhanced dissolution mechanism. The second part of the analysis explores the cover collapse type of sinkholes in which the critical mechanism is the growth and upward propagation of cavity. A strain-softening constitutive model is used to describe the strength evolution dependent on accumulated plastic deviatoric strain and erosion progression of soils around the cavity. The numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of expanding classical geomechanics to address intricate\, often coupled processes in sinkholes.\n\nDr. Hu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Toledo.

If you’re interested in doing this as well please let me know. {smiley face emoji}.” What began as a Facebook group\, turned into an army of volunteers in a matter of weeks. The massive nonpartisan citizen campaign\, now named Voters Not Politicians\, gathered over 400\,000 signatures to put redistricting reform on the Michigan ballot. The ballot initiative sought to create an independent commission to determine voting districts in Michigan. Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved the ballot measure in November 2018. The success of Fahey’s campaign has made it a model for anti-gerrymandering campaigns—and citizen organizing—across the nation. As Tina Rosenberg wrote in the New York Times\, “If you doubt that a private citizen can make a difference\, meet Fahey.”\n\nRSVP REQUIRED: https://myumi.ch/65kpB UID:61081-15027221@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61081 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Democracy,Politics,Pre Law,Pre-Law,Social Impact,Social Justice,Sociology LOCATION:LSA Building - 4154 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190104T143805 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190221T193000 SUMMARY:Performance:8th Annual Shirley Verrett Award Ceremony DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Women of Color in the Academy Project (WOCAP) will present its 8th Annual Shirley Verrett Award on February 12 in the Stamps Auditorium.\n\nThe Shirley Verrett Award was created in 2011 by the Office of the Senior Vice Provost in honor of the late Shirley Verrett\, a teacher who “would have walked the world over for her students.” The award is administered by WOCAP at the Center for the Education of Women\, and recognizes a faculty member whose teaching\, performance\, scholarship or service supports the success of female students or faculty in the arts who come from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds.\n\nVerrett was a James Earl Jones Distinguished University Professor of Voice at the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, as well as an internationally acclaimed opera singer who was one of the pioneering leaders in the generation of black opera singers.

This is a play about individuals trying to connect with and understand one another.\n\nWritten in 2012\, Love and Information distills the societal forces shaping our lives. Considered one of Great Britain’s greatest living playwrights\, Caryl Churchill is well known for her provocative and relevant plays that are remarkably varied in both structure and topic. Her best-known works\, Cloud Nine\, Top Girls\, Serious Money\, Far Away\, and A Number\, combine a darkly funny imagination with a strong political viewpoint. “Leave it to Ms. Churchill to come up with a work that so ingeniously and exhaustively mirrors our age of the splintered attention span.

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.

Developers\, lenders\, advocates\, and policy makers work to mitigate these disparities by creating innovative solutions and opportunity through equitable development. Now more than ever\, new approaches are required to make cities places where individuals and families can thrive. At the center of making this work are initiatives that put equity at their core and strive to find the right mix of public\, private\, nonprofit\, and grassroots policies\, investments\, and strategies that serve the needs of all residents and workers. \n\nIn Building Better Futures: Innovations in Equitable Development\, U-M Taubman College will convene experts at the forefront of designing\, financing\, developing and promoting better buildings\, better outcomes and better futures for all across race\, income\, age\, ability\, household type and geography. This conference will examine the ground-breaking policy mechanisms\, design innovations\, and financial incentives that connect communities\, build wealth\, and create frameworks to promote equity across demographics. Join us as we investigate\, define\, and present solutions for social and equitable development to build better futures.\n\n\"Building Better Futures\" is organized in partnership with University of Michigan Poverty Solutions\, an initiative that combines the assets of the university toward the prevention and alleviation of poverty\, with additional support from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.

Bridging Armenian and global perspectives—encompassing a vast geography from Southeastern Europe to the Middle East and the post-Soviet space—the workshop participants will explore competing narratives on cultural heritage\, history and\, ultimately\, homeland. Drawing from the mutually-enriching expertise of different academic disciplines—from history and political science to sociology and anthropology—this workshop will excavate from the debris of 20th century landscapes silenced narratives on disappeared populations\, alien homelands and collective violence. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

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:60543-14908115@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:20190218T110615 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190222T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190222T130000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Asian Languages Fair DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning more about the Asian languages taught at the University of Michigan?

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:59587-14754484@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:20190309T063020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190222T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190222T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:What is Consulting?

The Return to authoritarianism in Cambodia DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, the Cambodian government dismantled the Cambodian National Rescue Party\, clamped down on civil liberties and organized elections in 2018 without the presence of a credible opposition party. The presentation examines the reasons underlying the government’s decision to close down democratic space by focusing on the following arguments. First\, the presence of some semblance of democracy in Cambodia was the outcome of the Western community’s pressure through its granting financial assistance and preferential trade access to Cambodia. So long as this order permitted the Cambodian People’s Party to maintain its domination\, it conceded to Western demands. Second\, by the 2013 elections\, key socio-economic and political changes culminated in a counter-movement to the CPP’s patronage-based politics. When the CPP felt that its grip on power was threatened\, it instituted hegemonic electoral authoritarianism. Third\, since Cambodia’s democracy is a product of Western intervention and continued engagement\, Cambodia’s recent return to authoritarianism can to great extent be attributed to China’s role as a counter-leverage to Western pressure.

The statistical properties of such models are often quite good on average across groups\, but may be poor for any specific group. For example\, commonly-used confidence interval procedures may maintain a target coverage rate on average across groups\, but\nhave near zero coverage rate for a group that differs substantially from the others. In this talk\, we review some basic mixed effects modeling tools\, discuss their group-specific properties\, and present some new tools for multiple testing and inference problems that permit information sharing across groups while controlling group-specific frequentist error rates.

Her publications include books on the representation of women in Athenian drama and the courtesan in the Greek literary tradition: Spoken Like a Woman: Speech and Gender in Athenian Drama (Princeton\, 1999) and Courtesans at Table: Gender and Greek Literary Culture in Athenaeus (Routledge 2003). She has edited three volumes on the subject of women in antiquity\, including Making Silence Speak: Women's Voices in Greek Literature and Society\, with André Lardinois (Princeton\, 2001)\, Prostitutes and Courtesans in the Ancient World\, with C. A. Faraone (Wisconsin\, 2006)\, and Sexuality and Gender in the Classical World (Blackwell\, 2008). She has published numerous articles\, most recently an analysis of the role of women in tragic recognition scenes. She is currently completing a textbook about women in ancient Greece and Rome (under contract with Blackwell). Another project on the reception of the Greek chorus is underway.

During this roundtable discussion\, a group of scholar-practitioners will cover a variety of approaches: digital projects looking at mobility in twentieth-century Accra\, Ghana\; explorations of the legacies of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment\; oral histories with Iranian Americans\; and museum collaborations aiming to build local community and dispel stereotypes about Arab Americans. Using their own public and digital work as a starting point\, the goal of the session is to spark conversations regarding the best principles\, challenges\, and rewards of doing publicly engaged scholarship within a global frame and across time periods. Presented in partnership with the Rackham Program in Public Scholarship.\n\nFeaturing:\nCamron Amin (University of Michigan Dearborn)\nValentina Denzel (Michigan State University)\nJennifer Hart (Wayne State University)\nMatthew Stiffler (Arab American National Museum)\nMatthew Villeneuve (chair\; University of Michigan)\n\nCamron Michael Amin joined the faculty at the University of Michigan-Dearborn in 1997. He currently serves as the history discipline representative\, coordinator of the Middle East Studies Certificate Program\, CASL representative to the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Governing Board\, principal investigator for the Michigan Iranian American Oral History Project\, and program chair for the 2018 Association for Iranian Studies Conference. He is currently president of the Association for Iranian Studies.\n\nValentina Denzel received her doctoral degree at Paris Diderot University (Paris 7) in comparative literature. Her primary field of research is seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French literature. In her book Les mille et un visages de la virago. Marfisa et Bradamante entre continuation et variation\, Garnier Classique 2016\, she analyzes the evolution of the representation of the woman warrior in French and Italian literatures from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment by taking into consideration the political and historical context of this evolution and the symbolic value of the woman warrior in each specific time period. Her interest in gender identities\, sexual orientation\, and transgression of gender roles led her to study more in detail the philosophical and literary movement of eighteenth-century French libertinism that challenged intellectually and morally the normative thinking propagated by the Church. The work of the Marquis de Sade is a case in point\, since he promotes gender identities that do not inscribe themselves into the binary system of female and male\, but complicate concepts of sex\, gender\, and sexual orientation that are linked to transgressive power relations between his protagonists. Valentina’s second book project analyzes the representation of violence\, gender\, and pornography in Sade’s oeuvres\, and its link to his own time period\, as well as his legacy in popular cultures. More specifically\, she will examine the Marquis de Sade’s impact on the punk and post-punk movements\, as well as on punk-porn feminism and comic books.\n\nJennifer Hart is an associate professor of History at Wayne State University. A historian of Africa\, her work focuses primarily on the history of technology and urban space in Ghana. She is the author of Ghana on the Go: African Mobility in the Age of Motor Transportation (Indiana University Press\, 2016)\, which was a 2017 finalist for the Herskovits Prize. Her work has been published in the International Review of Social History\, International Journal of African Historical Studies\, and African Economic History. Since 2016\, Dr. Hart has been involved in shaping the emerging field of History Communications\, developing curriculum at the university and national level to help students build skills to translate historical research for public audiences on a number of media platforms. This work grows out of her own public-facing scholarship\, writing on her own blog (www.ghanaonthego.com) and Africa is a Country\, collaborating with photographers Nana Osei Kwadwo and Nii Odzenma on the Instagram-imbedded art project This Trotro Life (@thistrotrolife)\, directing the digital humanities project Accra Wala\, and maintaining an active social media presence (@detroittoaccra). She currently teaches courses in African history\, history communications\, digital history\, and digital humanities at Wayne State.\n\nMatthew Jaber Stiffler is the research and content manager at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn\, Michigan\, where he works with museum staff to accurately represent the diverse Arab American community through the museum’s collections\, exhibits\, and educational programming. Matthew has developed the museum’s food-based programming\, particularly the Yalla Eat! Culinary Walking Tours. Matthew also leads a national research initiative through ACCESS\, the largest Arab American non-profit in the country\, to secure better data about the Arab American community. Matthew received his PhD in American Culture from the University of Michigan in 2010\, where he serves as a lecturer in Arab and Muslim American Studies. He is currently a board member and treasurer of the Arab American Studies Association.\n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Lunch will be provided. In order to get an accurate count for food\, please RSVP by noon on Wednesday\, February 20.\n\n1st Presentation: Xubo Yue on \"Variational Inference of Joint Models using Multivariate Gaussian Convolution Processes\"\n\nAbstract:\nIn recent years\, the multivariate Gaussian process (MGP) has drawn significant attention as an efficient non-parametric approach to predict longitudinal signal trajectories. We would like to exploit the MGP to explore the following question: can we use both time-to-event data (also known as survival data) along with predicted longitudinal signals to obtain a reliable event prediction? In this work\, we present a non-parametric prognostic framework for individualized event prediction based on joint modeling of both longitudinal and time-to-event data. Our approach exploits a multivariate Gaussian convolution process (MGCP) to model the evolution of longitudinal signals and a Cox model to map time-to-event data with longitudinal data modeled through MGCP. Taking advantage of the unique structure imposed by convolved processes\, we provide a variational inference framework to simultaneously estimate parameters in the joint MGCP-Cox model. This facilitates scalability to large data settings and safeguards against model overfitting. Experiments on synthetic and real-world data show that the proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art approaches built on two-stage inference and strong parametric assumptions.\n\nBio: \nXubo Yue is a first-year Ph.D. student in the Industrial and Operations Engineering Department at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He holds a Master’s degree in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan\, and Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences and Applied Mathematics from the University of Macau. Xubo’s current research focuses on Multivariate Gaussian Processes and Bayesian optimization for reinforcement learning. \n\n\n2nd Presentation: Seokhyun Chung on \"Functional Principal Component Analysis for Extrapolating Multi-stream Longitudinal Data\"\n\nAbstract:\nThe advance of modern sensor technologies enables collection of multi-stream longitudinal data where multiple signals from different units are collected in real-time. In this article\, we present a non-parametric approach to predict the evolution of multi-stream longitudinal data for an in-service unit through borrowing strength from other historical units. Our approach first decomposes each stream into a linear combination of eigenfunctions and their corresponding functional principal component (FPC) scores. A Gaussian process prior for the FPC scores is then established based on a functional semi-metric that measures similarities between streams of historical units and the in-service unit. Finally\, an empirical Bayesian updating strategy is derived to update the established prior using real-time stream data obtained from the in-service unit. Experiments on synthetic and real-world data show that the proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art approaches and can effectively account for heterogeneity as well as achieve high predictive accuracy.\n\nBio:\nSeokhyun Chung is a first-year Ph.D. student in the Industrial and Operations Engineering Department at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He holds Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in industrial and management engineering from the Korea University. Seokhyun’s current research interests include development of machine learning and Bayesian non-parametric models in order to analyze large-scale data collected from IoT devices in connected environments such as smart factories\, wearable devices\, and battery management system for electric vehicles.

Come to the event and you'll automatically be entered to win one of 10 vintage Michigan postcards painted on/modified by David Opdyke. Must be present to win.\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 twenty 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\nAbout Lawrence Weschler:\nLawrence Weschler was for over twenty years (1981-2002) a staff writer at \"The New Yorker\,\" where his work shuttled between political tragedies and cultural comedies. He is director emeritus of the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU\, where he was director from 2001-2013. His nearly twenty books of political and cultural reportage include \"Seeing is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees\" (on Robert Irwin)\; \"Mr Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder\" (on the Museum of Jurassic Technology)\; \"Vermeer in Bosnia\"\; \"Everything that Rises: A Book of Convergences\"\; \"Domestic Scenes: The Art of Ramiro Gomez\"\; and forthcoming this summer\, \"And How Are You\, Doctor Sacks\,\" a biographical memoir of his friendship with the late neurologist Oliver Sacks.

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.

DESCRIPTION:No\, it isn’t just you. Sexual harassment is rampant across the sciences and other male-dominated disciplines. Gender harassment in particular\, the “put downs” of sexual harassment\, are rarely recognized as creating a negative workplace for women and gender minorities. Yet gender harassment is the most prevalent and frequent form of harassment\, and thus has similar negative outcomes for women compared to the kinds of singly traumatic sexual events described more often in the media. In this talk\, I will show how the history and culture of science creates white masculine ideals that permeate its modern practice\, and how these ideals in turn influence the lived experience\, productivity\, and inclusion of women of color and white women. I will draw from recent publications as well as upcoming projects to demonstrate the ways in which people who are sexually harassed 1) question the validity of their experience\, 2) question their scientific identity and worth\, and 3) become targeted for intersecting forms of harassment depending on their other identities (e.g.\, gender identity\, race\, sexuality).

Although they collectively range across ~10\,000 km of Oceania\, half of their species diversity is endemic to a single Eastern Pacific hot spot archipelago\, the Society Islands. Using a combination of museum\, captive\, and remnant wild snails\, we obtained the first high-resolution nuclear genomic perspective of the evolutionary relationships of all five genera comprising 43 of the 104 recognized species\, including many extinct or extirpated taxa\, from 14 archipelagoes. We present range wide phylogenomic relationships among the five genera and a more detailed perspective of the evolutionary relationships within the genus Partula\, highlighting the survival and extinction of endemic Society Island Partula from the well-studies islands of Moorea and Tahiti.

Such prior distributions are chosen with mathematical convenience in mind\, but not necessarily for being the best priors. The Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle is usually used with two pass strategies\, one for feature selection\, and a second one for optimization with the selected features.\n\nAn approach inspired by the Minimum Description Length principle is proposed for adaptively selecting and regularizing features during online learning based on their usefulness in improving the objective. The approach eliminates noisy or useless features from the optimization process\, leading to improved loss. By utilizing the MDL principle\, this approach enables an optimizer to reduce the problem dimensionality to the subspace of the feature space for which the smallest loss is obtained. The approach can be tuned for trading off between model sparsity and accuracy. Empirical results on large scale practical real-world systems demonstrate how it improves such tradeoffs. Huge model size reductions can be achieved with no loss in performance relative to standard techniques\, while moderate loss improvements (which can translate to large regret improvements) are achieved with moderate size reductions. The results also demonstrate that overfitting is mitigated by this approach. Analysis shows that the approach can achieve the loss of optimizing with the best feature subset.\n\nBio: Gil Shamir received the B.Sc.

This year\, using a turn-based\, participatory simulation developed for the competition by the Center for Leadership Simulation and Gaming\, student teams will take on cabinet-level positions of a virtual country. Participants enter policy decisions in the simulation software to see how their policies affect their citizens\, their economy\, and the migrants themselves.\n\nAs part of the competition\, teams will be expected to put together a policy memo and presentation. Evaluations of student performance will be based on two factors: 1) Their team’s simulation scores\, and 2) Observations by subject matter experts serving as judges at each host site. \n\nWHAT HAPPENS ON THE COMPETITION DAY?\n\nThe competition is an all day event. Teams will travel to their host site\, where they will undertake three rounds of the simulation: twice in the morning\, plus once after lunch. Each round will last approximately one hour. After the three rounds\, student teams will be given time to put together a policy memo and presentation. Experts in related fields will serve as judges. The experts will evaluate the policy memos and the presentations. Following the presentations\, a short debriefing will explain the logic and data behind the simulation. Winners will be announced at the end of the day.\n\nNASPAA \n\nNetwork of Schools of Public Policy\, Affairs\, and Administration or NASPAA is the global standard in public service education.

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.

Specifically\, this symposium is designed to examine the inherent tensions between securing privacy rights and the ease at which transactions occur\, facilitated by new innovative technologies.\n\nData portability is the idea that a consumer should own his or her own data and should be able to tell companies to use it\, transfer it to another company\, or destroy it. Every day\, hundreds of millions of transactions occur between parties. Nearly everyone uses financial products that harvest data—credit cards\, online shopping\, stock market trends. New technologies allow people and organizations to record\, analyze\, and indefinitely store data points associated with these transactions more easily than ever before.\n\nMany of those in the financial technology world assert that this aggregation of consumer data should be able to be sold to and owned by third parties. This would increase competition in the financial service sector and facilitate the development of more complex algorithms used to deliver financial services. Collecting information on consumer habits could lead to innovation in predicting market trends and could allow custom tailoring to individual consumer needs. Many banks\, however\, contend that opening up consumer information to third parties raises serious risks of fraud and abuse. Both sides of the debate advocate for the consumer’s interest: banks on the grounds of security and privacy\, and the fintech sector on the grounds of access and innovation.\n\nThe symposium will address the legal issues implicated by the exciting and rapidly developing world of financial technology\, such as: Who owns a customer’s financial data? How will the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) influence how companies handle customer data? How can U.S. policymakers construct a sensible policy framework suited to the particular regulatory and technical attributes of the U.S. consumer financial services sector? And how should we conceive of increased liability for companies and what does that mean for organizations’ relationships with consumers\, stockholders\, lenders and the like?\n\nVisit www.mtlr-fintech-symposium-2019.com to learn more UID:58000-14390313@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58000 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Business,Economics,Finance,Law,symposium,Technology LOCATION:South Hall - 1225 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190115T140953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190223T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190223T170000 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:60543-14908116@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:20190204T084213 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190223T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190223T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Saturday Morning Physics | Searching for Dark Matter with Antimatter DESCRIPTION:Antimatter cosmic ray measurements can advance our understanding of high-energy astrophysical phenomena in our own Galaxy.

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.

In this lecture\, members of Les Bostonades will examine the cantatas of Montéclair and Gervais as well as Couperin’s Les Goûts-réunis\, how these composers presented controversial material to a dangerous audience\, and the subtle political messaging they employed.\n\nThe period-instrument ensemble Les Bostonades has been sharing chamber music with Boston area audiences since its founding in 2005. The ensemble features Baroque music specialists who have studied and performed all over the world\, who collaborate in Boston’s vibrant early music scene\, bringing spirited and polished performances to their listeners. The ensemble’s performances have been described as “the most engaging chamber music playing…[a] generous\, voluptuous sound…well delineated\, [and with] a poignancy of emotion.”\n\nThe ensemble has developed under the direction of Akiko Sato\, an acclaimed harpsichordist and continuo player with a unique cultural background. Ms. Sato’s early training in Japan\, and further study in the U.S. and Montreal\, have given her unique cultural perspective\, along with exposure to French language and culture. Akiko’s passion for French language and Baroque music led her to early music study at McGill University in Montreal\, where she focused on studying music of the French clavecin school and Baroque stage works. This work has shaped Les Bostonades’ programming\, which over the years\, has featured lesser-known French Baroque composer such as Boismortier\, Guillemain\, Stuck\, Mondonville\, Colin de Blamont\, Courbois\, and Senallie (along with Rameau\, Couperin\, and Marais\, and the great composers of the Italian\, and German Baroque traditions).

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:59587-14754485@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:20190103T181611 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190223T111500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190223T120000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Storytime at the Museum DESCRIPTION:Storytime at the Museum promotes art enjoyment for our youngest patrons.

Spouses\, friends\, siblings\, and colleagues are dramatized in the middle of conversations as they deal with endless streams of data that can possibly alter relationships. They interrupt.

This is a play about individuals trying to connect with and understand one another.\n\nWritten in 2012\, Love and Information distills the societal forces shaping our lives. Considered one of Great Britain’s greatest living playwrights\, Caryl Churchill is well known for her provocative and relevant plays that are remarkably varied in both structure and topic. Her best-known works\, Cloud Nine\, Top Girls\, Serious Money\, Far Away\, and A Number\, combine a darkly funny imagination with a strong political viewpoint. “Leave it to Ms. Churchill to come up with a work that so ingeniously and exhaustively mirrors our age of the splintered attention span.
