SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Image Vessels: Blown Glass
DESCRIPTION:Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal\, glass and stone. 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.

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

DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. 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/

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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents Building Better Futures: Innovations in Equitable Development
DESCRIPTION:Cities have made a remarkable comeback\, however large swaths of their populations are being left behind. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ASP Workshop: Contested Landscapes\, Competing Narratives: Armenian and Global Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Download workshop program here: https://lsa.umich.edu/content/dam/asp-assets/asp-documents/2019-Workshop-program.pdf\n\nThis Workshop will be devoted to the multi-facetted topic of contested historical landscapes. 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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange. \n\nPhoto caption: Caption: Garmravank and Lake Van \nPhoto Credit: Anoush Suny

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments
DESCRIPTION:John was born in Tokyo\, Japan in 1971. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
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.”

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series.  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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Peter Hoff\, Professor\, Statistical Science Department\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:Mixed effects models are used routinely to share information across  groups and to account for data dependence. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Symposium: Public Engagements\, Digital Tools\, Global Contexts:  A Roundtable and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Public scholarship takes on different forms depending on the tools\, communities\, topics\, and time periods with which we engage. 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. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Presentation:IOE Lunch & Learn Seminar Series: Xubu Yue and Seokhyun Chung
DESCRIPTION:Open to all IOE graduate students and faculty. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:In Conversation: Artist David Opdyke with writer Lawrence Weschler
DESCRIPTION:2019 Efroymson Emerging Artist David Opdyke and writer Lawrence Weschler discuss Opdyke's current exhibition\, Paved with Good Intentions\, and the relationship between culture\, politics\, the environment and art in a contemporary landscape fraught with disorder and turmoil. \n\nWIN ONE OF DAVID OPDYKE'S MICHIGAN POSTCARDS! 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. 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). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gender Harassment in Science: Is it Just Me?
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).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Friday Museums Seminar - Conservation Genetics of the Partulidae
DESCRIPTION:Partulid tree snails are endemic to the Pacific high islands and represent one of the most infamous examples of oceanic island mass extinctions. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FOMP Lecture: Inference to the Best Explanation as a Form of Non-Deductive Reasoning in Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:The confirmation of hypotheses in mathematics by mathematical evidence short of proof has received insufficient attention. I will propose one way to think about some of these cases. I will also suggest one way to model such confirmation using the resources of the probability calculus -- in something like the way that some confirmation of certain scientific hypotheses is modeled (but without denying the status of mathematical truths as necessary).\n\nSponsored by the Foundations of Modern Physics reading group (a Rackham interdisciplinary working group) and the Philosophy Department.\nhttps://sites.lsa.umich.edu/fomp/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Leveraging Information Theory to Practical Machine Learning: Minimum Description Length Regularization for Online Learning
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Classical online learning techniques enforce a prior distribution on the objective to be optimized in order to induce model sparsity.  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. (Cum Laude)\, and M.Sc. degrees from the Technion\, Israel – Institute of Technology\, Haifa\, Israel in 1990 and 1997\, respectively\, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Notre Dame\, Notre Dame\, IN\, U.S.A. in 2000\, all in electrical engineering.\n\nFrom 1990 to 1995 he participated in research and development of signal processing and communication systems.  From 1995 to 1997 he was with the Electrical Engineering Department at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology\, as a graduate student and teaching assistant. From 1997 to 2000 he was a Ph.D. student and a research assistant in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Notre Dame\, and then a post-doctoral fellow until 2001. During his tenure at Notre Dame he was a fellow of the Center for Applied Mathematics of the university.  Between 2001 and 2008 he was with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Utah\, and between 2008 and 2009 with Seagate Research.  Since 2009 he has been with Google.  His main research interests include information theory\, machine learning\, coding and communication theory.  Dr. Shamir received an NSF CAREER award in 2003.\n\nFor more information on MIDAS or the Seminar Series\, please contact midas-contact@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jared Deck
DESCRIPTION:Maybe you heard Jared Deck doing a wonderful set at the Ark stage during the 2018 Ann Arbor Art Fair—now he's back for a full evening of his remarkable music\, with a new album in tow. Jared takes life one fight at a time. \"The battle has always been internal\, overcoming my own failures and working to improve\,\" he says. Raised on the dusty plains of an Oklahoma family farm\, Jared worked in the fields as well as the town grocery\, owned by his parents. \"In a community of 1\,200 people\, big dreams seem impossible. We're taught to manage expectations\, put our nose down\, and get to work.\" Later he worked in an oilfield and a factory. During the Great Recession he got by with a job as a pianist in a black church\, where over the next six years\, he received an unparalleled musical education. Now\, with his self-titled debut album\, Jared tells stories in an honest voice of midland America. His song \"The American Dream\" won first place in the annual Woody Guthrie Folk Festival Songwriting Competition\, and he comes to Michigan with a brand new release\, \"Bully Pulpit.\"\n\nThis show is free at the door for Ark members at the Solo level and above.

SUMMARY:Performance:Love and Information
DESCRIPTION:A dramatic comedy by Caryl Churchill\nDepartment of Theatre & Drama \nDirected by Gillian Eaton\n\nLove and Information features 57 short\, hilarious\, and poignant vignettes with over 100 unnamed characters trying to communicate with each other in today’s world of shortened attention spans and vast societal sharing.  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.  They finish each other’s thoughts. They think they have finished each other’s thoughts. With so much sharing\, when does TMI really become TMI?  How do we love in a world with so much information? 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:2019 NASPAA-Batten Student Simulation Competition: GLOBAL MIGRATION
DESCRIPTION:2019 NASPAA-Batten Student Simulation Competition takes place in 12 competition sites around the globe. This year\, Ford School is one of them. 2019 simulation theme Global Migration is based on real-world data. This simulation tests participants' ability to balance their budgets and their humanity. Will you sacrifice one for the other?\n\nFord School\, Weiser Diplomacy Center and International Policy Center look forward to hosting 60 graduate students from 12 schools in the north central region. Ford School's hosting team of students: Aprisal W Malale (Indonesia)\, Jessica Taketa (USA)\, Jonatan Vega-Martinez (USA)\, Yusuke Namiki (Japan) and Lingling Peng (China). Our judges for the simulation are associate professor John Ciorciari\, ambassador Melvyn Levitsky and associate professor Ann Lin.\n\nWHAT IS THE NASPAA-BATTEN STUDENT SIMULATION COMPETITION?\n\nThe NASPAA-Batten Student Simulation Competition is a day-long event that allows graduate students in public policy and related fields to test their skills on real-world data. 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. It is the membership organization of graduate education programs in public policy\, public affairs\, public administration\, and public & nonprofit management. Its over 300 members – located across the U.S. and in 24 countries around the globe – award MPA\, MPP\, MPAff\, and similar degrees.\n\nNASPAA is the recognized global accreditor of master’s degree programs in these fields.\n\nNASPAA’s twofold mission is to ensure excellence in education and training for public service and to promote the ideal of public service.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Image Vessels: Blown Glass
DESCRIPTION:Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal\, glass and stone. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Mystery Train: Oil on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. 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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Data Privacy and Portability in Financial Technology Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Data Privacy and Portability in Financial Technology Symposium celebrates Michigan Technology Law Review’s 25th Anniversary by hosting an event dedicated to cutting edge scholarship at the intersection of technology and the law. 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

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
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.”

DESCRIPTION:Antimatter cosmic ray measurements can advance our understanding of high-energy astrophysical phenomena in our own Galaxy. Over the last years\, satellite experiments as the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on board the International Space Station measure antimatter cosmic ray fluxes\, including positrons (the antiparticles of electrons)\, antiprotons (the antiparticles of protons) and recently antimatter nuclei. These measurements provide a novel probe to search for new physics including annihilations of dark matter in the Milky Way\, which I will present.

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

SUMMARY:Performance:Guest Lecture: Les Bostonades
DESCRIPTION:An Academy of Early Music–Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments Partnership Event.\n\nDuring the autocratic reign of Louis XIV\, music did not only serve as entertainment\, but also as an important form of political messaging\, often between warring factions within his own court. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. 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/

SUMMARY:Performance:Love and Information
DESCRIPTION:A dramatic comedy by Caryl Churchill\nDepartment of Theatre & Drama \nDirected by Gillian Eaton\n\nLove and Information features 57 short\, hilarious\, and poignant vignettes with over 100 unnamed characters trying to communicate with each other in today’s world of shortened attention spans and vast societal sharing.  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.  They finish each other’s thoughts. They think they have finished each other’s thoughts. With so much sharing\, when does TMI really become TMI?  How do we love in a world with so much information? 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. (The New York Times.)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Image Vessels: Blown Glass
DESCRIPTION:Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal\, glass and stone. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
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.”

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

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

DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. 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/

SUMMARY:Performance:Love and Information
DESCRIPTION:A dramatic comedy by Caryl Churchill\nDepartment of Theatre & Drama \nDirected by Gillian Eaton\n\nLove and Information features 57 short\, hilarious\, and poignant vignettes with over 100 unnamed characters trying to communicate with each other in today’s world of shortened attention spans and vast societal sharing.  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.  They finish each other’s thoughts. They think they have finished each other’s thoughts. With so much sharing\, when does TMI really become TMI?  How do we love in a world with so much information? 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. (The New York Times.)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Image Vessels: Blown Glass
DESCRIPTION:Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal\, glass and stone. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Inspired: Art Quilts by Paradigm
DESCRIPTION:Most members of Paradigm art quilt group are professional artists based in southeast Michigan who create work\, teach and lecture. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Mystery Train: Oil on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. 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). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments
DESCRIPTION:John was born in Tokyo\, Japan in 1971. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
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.”

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Constraints and Conventions in African Assortative Mating
DESCRIPTION:Educational attainment is a central determinant of social positioning in African society\, particularly as schooling has spread across the continent. When the educational composition of a population changes\, longstanding systems of social stratification are transformed\, including intra-marital assortative norms. The relative scarcity or abundance of a given credential influences marital sorting processes in two ways: by altering the composition of the population and by reconfiguring cultural conventions and gendered valuations of status. Using DHS data representing 32 sub-Saharan African countries and five decades of birth cohorts\, we examine the prevalence and propensity of educational assortative outcomes as a function of educational access (the percentage of a cohort who ever attended school) and wife's educational attainment. We demonstrate that educational expansion created gendered changes in educational compositions\, which led to increased prevalence of hypergamy (wives who married \"up\") in most countries\, despite a growing aversion to hypergamy in nearly all countries and across all educational groups.\n\nBIO:\n\nMargaret Frye's research investigates the complex and often misaligned relationships between culture\, ideas\, and demographic patterns. Much of our shared culture is about what people do during key life junctures—finishing school\, getting married\, having a child\, starting a career—but our beliefs\, ideals\, and expectations are imperfect reflections of these demographic regularities. Frye uses a diverse set of both qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate these questions. Her research is primarily located in sub-Saharan Africa\, and she is currently in the midst of a longitudinal data collection project in Kampala\, Uganda\, examining changing understandings of status resulting from Uganda’s simultaneous expansion of university education and contraction of formal employment opportunities. Her research has been published in journals including the American Sociological Review\, American Journal of sociology\, Demography\, and Population and Development Review.\n\nA PSC Brown Bag Seminar.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dissonance Event Series: Genetics & Medical Apps: Ethics\, Privacy\, Law and Policy
DESCRIPTION:Each new genetic test or medical app generates or collects more and more detailed health data\, but may also raise serious issues for medicine\, public health. Under what circumstances should a test be used\, and how should it be implemented?

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Exhibit Opening & Reception: \"she was here\, once\"
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Nastassja Swift to celebrate the official opening of her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\,\" in the Lane Hall Gallery.\n\nThis reception is presented in collaboration with the Narrating Black Girls' Lives Conference. Book sales and signing with keynote speaker\, Dr. Saidiya Hartman will also take place during this reception. \n\nabout the exhibition:\nThe mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. 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. Consisting of wearable fiber sculptures\, mixed media installation and film\, the exhibition traces the ancestral footsteps of the Black woman in Richmond\, Virginia. Nastassja creates an immersive environment shaped from history\, story and experience.\n\nproject background: \nIn summer 2018\, Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative project that analyzes the history of the black female body in Richmond\, and navigates the stories and identities of the women before us\, the stories of the present\, and how they affect our tomorrows. Through a communal workshop and collaborative public performance\, Nastassja engaged black female residents of varying ages\, within Richmond communities\, in a project infused with dance\, sound and visual narrative that took place in Shockoe Bottom and Jackson Ward. Eight women and girls\, dressed in white garments\, wore a large\, needle felted white wool mask and traveled by foot from the Trail of Enslaved Africans\, and ended on Leigh Street in the Jackson Ward neighborhood.\n\nThe project has produced a mini documentary and short film. Both films are on display in the University of Michigan's Lane Hall Gallery until August 2\, 2019.\n\nabout the artist:\nNastassja Swift is a Virginia artist holding a Bachelors degree of Fine Art from Virginia Commonwealth University with a major in Painting & Printmaking and a minor in Craft & Material Studies. She is the owner and artist of D for Dolls\, an online collection of handmade needle felted figures. Outside of being a doll maker\, she works with paint\, print\, performance and fiber within her studio practice. Nastassja’s work is currently on display in a group exhibition at The Colored Girls Museum\, and her solo exhibition at Harmony Hall Arts Center.  She has participated in several national and international residences and exhibitions\, including her solo exhibit in Doha\, Qatar\, and fellowships at the Vermont Studio Center and MASS MoCA. www.nastassjaswift.com

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Taubman College presents: Sir David Adjaye OBE
DESCRIPTION:Sir David Adjaye OBE is recognized as a leading architect of his generation. Adjaye was born in Tanzania to Ghanaian parents and his influences range from contemporary art\, music and science to African art forms and the civic life of cities. In 1994\, he set up his first office\, where his ingenious use of materials and his sculptural ability established him as an architect with an artist’s sensibility and vision. He reformed his studio as Adjaye Associates in 2000. The firm now has offices in London\, New York and Accra with projects in the US\, UK\, Europe\, Africa\, Asia and the Middle East. His largest project to date\, the $540 million Smithsonian Institute National Museum of African American History and Culture\, opened on the National Mall in Washington DC in fall of 2016 and was named Cultural Event of the Year by the New York Times.\n\nOther prominent completed work include the Idea Stores in London (2005)\, which were credited with pioneering a new approach to library services\, the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO (2010)\, the Sugar Hill mixed-use social housing scheme in Harlem\, New York (2015)\; and the Aishti Foundation retail and art complex in Beirut (2015). Prominent ongoing projects include a new home for the Studio Museum in Harlem\, New York\, a new headquarters building for the International Finance Corporation in Dakar\, and the just-announced National Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre in London.\n\nIn 2017\, Adjaye was recently knighted by Her Majesty the Queen for services to Architecture\, following the previous award of an OBE in 2007. The same year\, he was recognized as one of the 100 most influential people of the year by TIME magazine. He has additionally received the Design Miami/ Artist of the Year title in 2011\, the Wall Street Journal Innovator Award in 2013 and the 2016 Panerai London Design Medal from the London Design Festival.\n\nAdjaye is known for his frequent collaborations with contemporary artists on installations and exhibitions. Most notably\, he designed the 56th Venice Art Biennale with curator Okwui Enwezor (2015). The Upper Room\, featuring thirteen paintings by Chris Ofili (2002)\, is now part of the permanent collection of Tate Britain. Further examples include Within Reach\, a second installation with Ofili in the British pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2003) and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art for the 21st Century Pavilion that was designed to show Your Black Horizon\, a projection work by Olafur Eliasson\, at the 2005 Venice Biennale.\n\nAdjaye has held distinguished professorships at the Harvard\, Princeton and Yale universities. He has also taught at the Royal College of Art\, where he had previously studied\, and at the Architectural Association School in London. The material from his ten-year study of the capital cities of Africa was exhibited as Urban Africa at London’s Design Museum (2010) and published as Adjaye Africa Architecture (Thames & Hudson\, 2011). He was the artistic director of GEO-graphics: A map of art practices in Africa\, past and present\, a major exhibition at the Centre for Fine Arts\, Brussels (2010). In 2015\, a comprehensive retrospective exhibition of his work to date launched at Haus der Kunst in Munich and the Art Institute of Chicago\, and was subsequently shown at the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow.\n\nIn partnership with the Penny Stamps Speaker Series.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Mystery Train: Oil on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. 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). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. 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/

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments
DESCRIPTION:John was born in Tokyo\, Japan in 1971. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
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.”

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with CPS faculty Christopher Fariss
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Fariss is excited to host a weekly Tuesday morning hackerspace from February 12 until April 23. Dr. Fariss uses computational methods and the statistical program R to study why governments around the world torture\, maim\, and kill individuals within their jurisdiction\, and the processes monitors use to observe and document these abuses. Other research projects cover a broad array of themes but share a focus on computationally intensive methods\, research design\, and the analysis of data at a massive scale. \n\nThis weekly meeting with Dr. Fariss is for those with an interest in the R statistical programming language. Both beginners and experienced users are invited to attend. Dr. Fariss plans to introduce mostly introductory material during these sessions but will also cover Bayesian modeling in R and STAN.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Informing economic complexity with ecological complexity: Studying sustainable fisheries with complex food webs
DESCRIPTION:The FAO has warned that fishing rates have reached ecologically unsustainable levels. The risk posed by high fishing rates will increase as economic demand and per-capita fish consumption continue to rise. Considering both these ecological and economic realities is essential to developing long-term sustainable fishing strategies. By incorporating the dynamics of fishing effort into complex\, realistic network models of fishery ecosystems\, our research can more concretely ask: 1) How does food web structure drive the effect of fisheries on food webs and 2) How do different economic models affect the sustainability of fisheries?\n\nWhile we find that the initial direct effects on the biomass of the extracted species correlates with the level of fishing effort\, the longer term effects on overall food-web structure and community biomass depend upon the identity and connectivity of the species harvested. Intuitively\, the structural properties of the food-web itself feed back into the effects of different extraction rates. The additional complexity of variable fishing effort through different economic strategies makes clear the need to consider how to measure sustainability in transient oscillating systems when many traditional economic models concentrate on dynamic equilibrium.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Towards Transformative Change: Institutional Self-Assessment and Relationship Building Between U-M and MSIs
DESCRIPTION:Minority Serving Institutions have and continue to play an integral role in granting access\, building knowledge\, and empowering change that impacts both individuals and society. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King\, whose legacy we commemorate as a critical figure in the advancement of civil rights and social justice\, is an alumnus of Morehouse College—an MSI. Implicit in Dr. King’s push for righteousness\, peace\, and justice was an immense desire to transform how people of a nation and ultimately the world engaged with one another. It is in this spirit that we frame this forum and engagement with Minority Serving Institutions—from transactional to transformational/transformative change. Featured speakers will provide a broad overview of the MSI landscape\, share their experiences with developing relationships with MSIs\, and share information on how to do an institutional self-assessment before seeking to partner with MSIs. This session will serve as the first in a series of forums that foster discussion on the socio-historical and contemporary state of MSIs\, insights from U-M units with relationships with MSIs\, and practical information and resources for engaging MSIs.\nPre-registration is required at https://myumi.ch/6njZn.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FellowSpeak: \"Apostolic Longing in the Early Modern Spanish World\"
DESCRIPTION:U-M Professor of History and 2018-19 Institute for the Humanities John Rich Faculty Fellow Kenneth Mills gives a 30-minute talk followed by Q & A.\n\nCombing scripture and classical authorities was all well and good. And there were the Church fathers\, the erudite humanists\, and the observations of itinerant chroniclers to consider too. Yet all this learning ultimately fell short\, suggesting rather than proving that in the first century a wing-footed apostle of Jesus had preached the gospel as far afield as Asia and the Americas. After a certain point -- for sixteenth- and seventeenth-century thinkers who embraced notions of divine omniscience\, a salvific vision for all humanity\, and thus of pristine evangelisation beyond the circum-Mediterranean -- a different kind of search was on\, indeed critical. The search for physical evidence\, for oral evidence\, and for the material traces and signs of an apostle. How would any such “new world” findings and sacred adventures be told?

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combining Social and Biological Data
DESCRIPTION:• How does bringing a population-based perspective to biological data change what we know about ourselves?\n\n• How best to do this type of research?\n\n• What's going on in the Basement of ISR?\n\nISR Perspectives presents Jessica Faul & Colter Mitchell as the next speakers in the \"Getting to Know ISR\" public presentation series.\n\nIn recent years a substantial number of population-based and social science studies have begun adding biological data. These data can include genetic and epigenetic measures\, telomere length\, hormones\, brain scans\, clinical and inflammation markers\, just to name a few. Including biological data expands the reach and potential of social science studies by adding richer health-related content to the survey measures we collect. Researchers using biological data can identify early biomarkers of health conditions and disease\, elucidate the consequences of potentially harmful environmental exposures\, and discover the mechanisms by which the social context and our life experiences change us on a cellular level. The union of social and biological sciences helps build a stronger case for the importance of social science research.\nRefreshments provided!\n\nAll Welcome.  Presented by the ISR DACCD Perspectives Committee.\n\nIf you need accommodations to participate in this event or have any questions\, please contact abeattie@umich.edu.\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY\n\nDr. Faul received her Ph.D. in Epidemiology from the University of Michigan. She is currently a Research Associate Scientist in the Survey Research Center\, a Co-PI of the Health and Retirement Study\, and is affiliated with the Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging (MiCDA)\, the Population Studies Center\, and the University of Michigan BioSocial Methods Collaborative.  Her research focuses on socioeconomic predictors of health and health disparities across the life course\, specifically on dementia and cognitive decline in older age. She is interested in research and methods that integrate genetic and other biomarkers into social science research\, especially the interaction between genetics\, biomarkers and social environments on measures of health and well-being.\n\nDr. Mitchell is a Research Assistant Professor in the Survey Research Center\, the co-Director of the ISR Biospecimen Lab and the NIA course Genomics for Social Scientists (both with Dr. Faul)\, Associate Director of the Biosocial Methods Collaborative\, and research affiliate of the Population Studies Center and MiCDA. He leads the collection and analysis of the biological data for the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing project. He has a broad background in sociology\, demography\, statistics\, genetics\, and molecular biology. His research utilizes population-based studies to examine how social contextual factors such as family instability\, poverty\, incarceration\, childhood trauma\, neighborhood characteristics\, and parenting interact with and influence genetic\, epigenetic\, neurodevelopment\, and telomere data and how those in turn predict later life health and wellbeing. He also has a line of research on the collection and analyses of biosocial data.

SUMMARY:Other:New Frontiers in Catalytic Heteroatom Transfer: 
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                                        \n  Heteroatom transfer reactions – frequently used by Nature for both the biosynthesis of natural products and the metabolism of xenobiotics – are fundamentally useful for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds. As an example of one application\, the site-selective oxidation of carbon-hydrogen bonds can be a powerful tool\, especially when applied to late-stage functionalization. Transition metal catalysis of site-selective C–H oxidation has rapidly advanced in recent years\, but there are nevertheless substantial challenges that remain with regards to achieving catalyst-controlled selectivity. Research in the Hilinski lab has focused on advancing organocatalysis as an alternative approach to transition metal catalysis of C–H functionalization\, in order to exploit its potential advantages and complementarity. In this presentation\, multiple approaches to organocatalytic C–H oxidation that have resulted in methods for C–H hydroxylation and the first organocatalytic method for C–H amination will be presented\, with a focus on catalyst design\, selectivity in complex settings\, and mechanism. More recently\, the lab’s focus on applications of catalytic heteroatom transfer has broadened to include other late-stage oxidations relevant to drug discovery (e.g. metabolic N-oxidation) and the discovery of novel cycloaddition reactions initiated by heteroatom transfer. Recent results in these areas will therefore also be presented\, with a focus on applications relevant to bioactive small molecule synthesis.                     \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nMichael Hilinski (University of Virgina)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Organization of the Construction Industry in Classical Athens
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that\, contrary to the traditional view\, there existed in Athens a regularly organized construction industry\, i.e. a fairly stable number of workers who made their living from their skills in this sector.\n\nAccording to the traditional view\, public building in ancient Greece was mostly an occasional and sporadic activity\, calling for specialized skills that were beyond the regular demand of any given city. Such being the case\, only a small number of local craftsmen could expect to make a living from their skills in this sector when public building projects were not going on and not even such a lively center as Athens could accommodate a large number of builders on a permanent basis. As a result\, the construction industry was largely made up of travelling craftsmen\, plus the accessory contribution of some local workers who found employment in public building projects only as a subsidiary activity. In other words\, the crucial problem that any given city was facing when realizing building projects was not the lack of money but the widespread scarcity of skilled labor to do the job.\n\nHowever\, through a fresh re-examination of the Athenian building accounts of the 5th and 4th c. (e.g. IG I³ 475-476\; I.Eleusis 159 and 177)\, I intend to show that the traditional viewpoint needs to be revised. In particular\, the level of horizontal specialization attested in the accounts indicates that the demand for the services of workers whose trade was part of the construction industry (e.g. stonemasons\, carpenters\, brick masons\, etc.) was usually considerable\, even in years not characterized by a high density of public projects. In the same way\, the pattern of slave ownership and the pay scale of workers suggest that several of them\, in particular stonemasons\, were usually able to command a sizable volume of business. In addition\, building accounts reveal that even in years characterized by a higher density of public projects the construction industry was able to meet the increased demand of the market thanks to the versatility of workers within their own trade and their willingness to establish ad-hoc partnerships with other colleagues in order to carry out more onerous jobs.\n\nAll this\, in my opinion\, points to the existence\, in classical Athens\, of a regularly organized construction industry\, i.e. not made up only of travelling craftsmen and occasional workers\, and speaks against the traditional idea that the shortage of skilled labor was one of the main challenge of public construction programs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What is Sephardi about Sephardi Thought?
DESCRIPTION:Sephardi Jewry produced major Jewish thinkers in the Middle Ages\, from philosophers like Judah Halevi\, Maimonides\, and Hasdai Crescas\; to mystics like Nahmanides and Moses de Leon. Among the philosophers\, there were those who adopted extreme rationalism in the guise of Greek philosophy\, while others were moderate rationalists\, questioning the conclusions reached by the philosophers\, especially those that seemed to undermine Jewish tradition. Among the mystics\, some tried to preserve their traditions among a small circle of adepts\, while others advocated the widespread distribution of mystical ideas. Sephardi legalists also incorporated theological ideas in their legal decisions. The lecture will discuss whether there is something specifically Sephardi which is characteristic of Iberian Jewish thinkers and the implications of Sephardi thought for Sephardi identity after the expulsion and into the modern period.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor. If you have a disability that requires an accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstuies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Poverty Simulation: Making Sense of Making it in America
DESCRIPTION:We hear a lot about the social safety net in America -- a patchwork of government programs that in theory help support individuals in our nation in need of temporary assistance and put them on a path toward economic mobility. But how does it actually work? Who does it catch and who does it leave behind? How do low-income families and individuals engage with the system while trying to meet their everyday basic needs?  \n\nThis Poverty Simulation is a three-hour hands-on engaged learning experience for students to gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to feed a family\, pay bills\, find employment\, and navigate the complex challenges of the U.S. social safety net. The goal is for students to gain a better understanding of our current system\, reflect on how U.S. policies help or hinder those most in need\, and identify opportunities to take action toward a more just and equitable system. \n\nParticipants are given scripted role assignments and structured situations that represent those that welfare recipients face daily.  Participants interact with volunteers who staff a community of stores and agencies including welfare office workers\, grocers\, pawnbrokers\, food pantry personnel\, bill collectors\, police\, and employment interviewers. After a “month on welfare” (about one hour) a facilitator leads a discussion based on the event. Participants describe their experiences\, volunteer staff share their insights and the facilitator offers suggestions for how participants can take action to promote justice for those living in actual poverty. \n\nPoverty Solutions is partnering with the Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice to host the event.\n\nSing up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeAbXg4R1rJu-gMdMqO07t9F7WNPifWzZcQTfL5lnWBEiK9mQ/viewform\n\nContact Poverty Solutions student engagement coordinator Trevor Bechtel for more information: betrevor@umich.edu

Distinct from a policy body or counseling effort\, FASAN works collaboratively with the SMTD community to deepen our collective understanding of issues surrounding sexual misconduct\, especially the power dynamics that can lead to abuse and a culture of silence. It strives to create a climate of open communication\, awareness\, and responsiveness through community education events. FASAN volunteers commit to attending additional training\, particularly about U-M policies and support resources\, so that they can serve as informed consultants to their faculty and staff peers. Network members seek to create an ever more positive learning atmosphere at SMTD and to improve the professional climate of the performing arts field as a whole.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Mystery Train: Oil on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. 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). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Allies for Inclusion: The Ability Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Allies for Inclusion: The Ability Exhibit is a traveling exhibit designed to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities through respect for others\, comfort during interactions\, and awareness of disability issues. Using a multi-media approach to demonstrate respect\, comfort and awareness\, the\nexhibit offers suggestions for becoming disability allies and educators.\n\nIt has been twenty years since the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and almost forty years since the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Both of these laws protect against discrimination of people with disabilities by requiring equal access to employment\, education\, goods and services.\n\nAmericans have progressed in their attitudes and behaviors toward people with disabilities\; however\, there remain questions and concerns about appropriate communication\, comfort level\, and inclusive practices.\n\nWhen it comes to interacting with individuals with disabilities\, people ask:\n\"What should I do?\"\, \"How should I respond?\"\, \"Is it okay to say that?\"\, \"How can I become an ally?\"\;  Allies for Inclusion: The Ability Exhibit will attempt to answer some of these questions.\n\nStudents\, faculty and staff are encouraged to experience The Ability Exhibit when it visits the Institute for Social Research (426 Thompson St.) \n\nFebruary 27\, 9am-4pm\nFebruary 28\, 8:30am-4pm\n\nIf you require an accommodation to participate in this event or have any questions\, please contact Anna Massey at abeattie@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. 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/

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments
DESCRIPTION:John was born in Tokyo\, Japan in 1971. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
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.”

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:China’s Avant-Garde Movement of the 1980s
DESCRIPTION:The decade of the 1980s was historical to Chinese art. It was a period when the foundation of mainstream art\, mainly Socialist Realism\, had been fundamentally shaken\, as new art\, represented by the avant-garde movement\, emerged nationwide\, changing and reshaping the topography of contemporary Chinese art. China’s avant-garde movement in this decade will be discussed in the talk. As a participant and critic of the movement\, the speaker will examine the initiative\, the evolution\, and the eruption of China’s avant-garde from the late 1970s\, when Cultural Revolution ended\, to the year of 1989\, when the monumental exhibition China/Avant-Garde was held\, and the Tiananmen Incident occurred\, terminating the movement\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nZhou Yan\, critic\, received his B.A. in philosophy\, Sun Yat-sen University\; M.A. in art history\, Central Academy of Fine Arts\, both in China\; Ph.D. in art history\, Ohio State University\, USA. He has co-authored A History of Chinese Contemporary Art: 1985-1986 (1991\, Chinese)\, authored Cultural Odyssey: Wenda Gu and His Art (2015\, English)\, written a series of critical articles on Chinese art and culture (in Chinese and English) and co-organized the exhibition China/Avant-Garde in Beijing (1989). He is currently an adjunct professor at Kenyon College\, Ohio\, teaching history of Chinese art. His book\, A History of Contemporary Chinese Art: 1949-Present\, will be published in 2019.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. The Worlding of Eastern Europe: Architects from Socialist Countries in Cold War West Africa
DESCRIPTION:This talk revisits one of the most under-researched topics in the history of 20th century modern architecture: African and Asian engagements of architects\, planners\, and construction companies from socialist countries. Upon their arrival to postcolonial Ghana and Nigeria\, architects from socialist Hungary\, Poland\, and Yugoslavia drew analogies between the historical experience of Eastern Europe and West Africa as underdeveloped\, colonized\, and peripheral. This talk will show how these analogies allowed them to draw upon specific design tools and procedures from Eastern European architectural culture—and how their work in West Africa testified to the limits of these correspondences. \n    \nŁukasz Stanek is a visiting associate professor of architecture at U-M\, and senior lecturer at the Manchester School of Architecture\, the University of Manchester\, U.K. Stanek authored \"Henri Lefebvre on Space: Architecture\, Urban Research\, and the Production of Theory\" (2011) and edited Lefebvre’s book \"Toward an Architecture of Enjoyment\" (2014). He published on cold war mobilities of architecture between socialist countries\, West Africa\, and the Middle East\, which is the topic of his forthcoming book. Previously Stanek taught at ETH Zurich and Harvard University\, and received fellowships from the Center for Advanced Study in Visual Arts (Washington D. C.)\, among other institutions. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag | Searching for Flavour Symmetries: Old Data New Tricks
DESCRIPTION:The observed pattern of mixing in the neutrino sector may be explained by the presence of a non-Abelian\, discrete flavour symmetry broken into residual subgroups at low energies. These flavour models require the presence of Standard Model singlet scalars\, namely flavons\, which decay to charged leptons in a  flavour-conserving or violating manner.  In this talk\, I will present the constraints on the model parameters of an A4 leptonic flavour model using a synergy of g-2\, charged lepton flavour conversion and collider data. The most powerful constraints derive from  the MEG collaboration's result and the reinterpretation of an 8 TeV ATLAS search for anomalous productions of multi-leptonic final states.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Electric Breakdown in Thunderstorms and Plasma Technology – Chances and Puzzles
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Electric breakdown of gases occurs in thunderstorms and in a wide range of applications in plasma and high voltage technologies. Fields such as plasma processing\, plasma medicine and plasma assisted combustion are rapidly progressing due to new sources\, diagnostics and modeling techniques. Meanwhile\, our understanding of lightning physics is challenged by transient luminous events (elves\, halos\, sprites\, jets and gigantic jets) above thunderstorms\, and by high energy processes related to active thunderstorms such as terrestrial gamma-ray flashes and signatures of nuclear reactions in our atmosphere. I will explain the common ground of these natural and technical phenomena\, and discuss discharge formation\, from inception through the streamer discharge evolution to leaders and sparks. Key features of these dynamics are the extreme tails of the electron energy distribution in certain discharge stages\, up to electron runaway from eV energies to tens of MeV in thunderstorms.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Ute Ebert studied physics at the University of Heidelberg\, Germany\, and at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem\, Israel\, and she defended her PhD on the renormalization group analysis of long polymer chains at the University of Essen\, Germany\, in 1994. As a postdoc at the University of Leiden\, The Netherlands\, she switched to nonlinear dynamics and pattern formation\, in particular\, in application to streamer ionization fronts. In 1998 she gained a staff position at the Netherlands’ national research Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) in Amsterdam. Since 2002\, she leads the research group “Multiscale Dynamics” at CWI\, and she is a full professor of physics at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). In this double role\, she has built up a wide collaboration network with numerous projects together with plasma physics\, high voltage engineering and mechanical engineering at TU/e\, with physicists at the Dutch radio telescope LOFAR and with a European and international network for thunderstorm  observations from space (in particular\, through the ASIM mission) and from the ground.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M DCMB Weekly Seminar\, \"Learning latent embeddings for genomic and proteomic data\"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Deep machine learning architectures capture nonlinear relationships in big data sets by mathematically embedding the input data into a series of latent spaces.  Typically\, this latent representation is a byproduct on the way to a prediction\, but the latent representation itself can also be useful\, particularly to transfer information between related machine learning tasks.  I will discuss two recent projects in which we have used latent representations to encode information about\, respectively\, genomics and proteomics.  In the genomic setting\, we train a deep tensor factorization method\, called Avocado\, to impute missing epigenomic data sets.  We then demonstrate that the latent genome representation is useful in several other predictive settings\, including predicting gene expression and chromatin features.  In the proteomic setting\, a deep Siamese network called GLEAMS learns to embed tandem mass spectra in a latent space in such a way that spectra generated by the same peptide are close together.  In subsequent exploration of that space\, we detect groups of unidentified\, proximal spectra representing the same peptide\, and we show how to use spectral communities to reveal misidentified spectra and to characterize frequently observed but consistently unidentified molecular species.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Diasporic Dialogues: “Micro(phone) Aggressions: Nina Simone's Sound and Technologies of Black Rage\"
DESCRIPTION:Edwin Hill's research seeks to highlight the marginalized intellectual and cultural traffic between France and the Americas. He has published and/or presented on contemporary Caribbean writers\, Sub-Saharan francophone literature\, African American popular music\, French chanson\, and francophone hip hop. Similarly\, his teaching interests\, while focused on black vernacular culture and France\, extend from the poetry of Negritude writers to postcolonial explorations of contemporary francophone writers and musicians.\n\nHis first book Black Soundscapes White Stages: The Meaning of Sound in the Francophone Black Atlantic (Johns Hopkins UP\, 2013) considers the torn aesthetic and ideological relationships between Antillean music and literature from the 1920s to 1960s to be a colonial struggle over the meaning of Caribbean vernacular culture. Informed by an interdisciplinary formation (Bachelor Degree in Music Performance\, PhD in French and Francophone Studies)\, Black Soundscapes White Stages relocates the marginalized voices of the black diaspora through the discursive matrix of French imperialism and the cultural history of the French West Indies. The book has enjoyed positive reviews in French Studies: A Quarterly Review 68.3 (summer 2014)\, Comparative Literature Studies 52.3 (2015)\, and Contemporary French Civilization (Spring 2015).\n\nProfessor Hill's current book project\, Black Static\, locates rage as an sonic/affective vibration routed through the circuits of African diasporic musical culture\, travel\, and communication. It focuses on a range of musicians and writers\, from Nina Simone and militant rap artist Casey to Frantz Fanon and Ta-Nehisi Coates. Professor Hill is also at the beginning stages a third book project: a critical biography of Léon Gontran-Damas. \n\n \nEducation\n Ph.D. French and Francophone Studies\, University of California\, Los Angeles\, 2007\n B.A. Music Performance (Percussion)\, University of Iowa\n M.A. French Literature\, University of Iowa\n \nDescription of Research\nSummary Statement of Research Interests\nResearch interests include: Francophone poetry and music.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Facilitating Thinking and Learning in and Beyond the Physics Classrooms
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss\, using my research in physics education\, how research can be used as a guide to develop curricula and pedagogies to reduce student difficulties. My research has focused on improving student understanding of introductory and advanced concepts\, for example\, in learning quantum mechanics.  We are developing research-based learning tools such as tutorials and peer instruction tools that actively engage students in the learning process.  I will discuss how we evaluate their effectiveness using a variety of methodologies. I will also discuss our research studies that provide guidelines for how to enhance physics by making it inclusive.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. 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). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

Both of these laws protect against discrimination of people with disabilities by requiring equal access to employment\, education\, goods and services.\n\nAmericans have progressed in their attitudes and behaviors toward people with disabilities\; however\, there remain questions and concerns about appropriate communication\, comfort level\, and inclusive practices.\n\nWhen it comes to interacting with individuals with disabilities\, people ask:\n\"What should I do?\"\, \"How should I respond?\"\, \"Is it okay to say that?\"\, \"How can I become an ally?\"\;  Allies for Inclusion: The Ability Exhibit will attempt to answer some of these questions.\n\nStudents\, faculty and staff are encouraged to experience The Ability Exhibit when it visits the Institute for Social Research (426 Thompson St.) \n\nFebruary 27\, 9am-4pm\nFebruary 28\, 8:30am-4pm\n\nIf you require an accommodation to participate in this event or have any questions\, please contact Anna Massey at abeattie@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM Theory Seminar | The Redefinition of the SI System of Units\, and the Single-Electron Ratchet Pump as a Current Standard
DESCRIPTION:The Systeme Internationale d’Unites is being redefined\, in an interesting way. This redefinition has fundamental implications for electrical standards\, including standards of current based on the charge of the electron.  One mode of semiconducting single-electron pump is the single-gate ratchet mode\, based on the concept of a Brownian motor – this fact makes the mode quite subtle in operation.  We show experimentally that\, in the same devices\, we can demonstrate multiple two-gate pumping modes but not the single-gate mode.  We propose three mechanisms to explain the lack of plateaus in the single-gate ratchet mode.  Educators/textbook writers: I will also discuss a proposal on how to introduce the new SI to students.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. 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/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments
DESCRIPTION:John was born in Tokyo\, Japan in 1971. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
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.”

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

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

SUMMARY:Presentation:EHAP Speaker Series:  Paleolithic or Paleomythic? Learning from 21st century hunter-gatherers about the evolution of the human diet
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe world’s few remaining foraging populations are often used as referential models of human evolution and ancestral health – with topics ranging from the so-called “Paleolithic Diet” to the “hunter-gatherer workout” or even “re-wilding the microbiome”.  We live in a time when our industrialized modes of subsistence have never been more dissimilar to those of our past\, the Neolithic farmers or the Paleolithic hunter-gatherers.  Despite this\, there has been an increase in public curiosity and a revitalized effort on the part of scientists to better understand the lifeway that has characterized 95% of human evolution – that of nomadic foraging for wild foods. But what can modern day hunter-gatherers really tell us about our evolutionary past? Here\, I discuss the ways in which data collected among the Hadza foragers of Tanzania are critical for evolutionary reconstructions of nutrition and behavior. I explore foraging profiles across the lifespan\, seasonal differences in diet composition\, and the phylogenetic diversity of Hadza gut microbiota. I discuss how these findings may have implications for understanding human health and behavior in the post-industrialized west. As we are increasingly aware of the role that microbes play in biology\, evolution\, and in health and disease patterns\, it is important to properly contextualize data collected from the world’s most vulnerable small scale societies – particularly as there is great potential for the commercialization of microbiome research. Furthermore\, as shifts in diet composition are often linked to many key milestones in human evolution (like brain expansion\, cooperation\, and family formation)\, it is necessary to clearly articulate how data from hunter-gatherers can inform our understanding of both our evolutionary past and our contemporary present.

SUMMARY:Performance:We Banjo 3
DESCRIPTION:One of the best live acts to come out of Ireland in recent years is the multi-awarded winning We Banjo 3. With a seven-time all-Ireland banjo champ\, a four-time banjo champ\, another member who is an all-Ireland champ on both fiddle and bodhran\, and with a passionate lead vocalist like a young Springsteen adopted by the Chieftains (yes\, they're a quartet\, but there are three banjos)\, the result is unforgettable. On both sides of the Atlantic the word is out about this group! WB3 performed at the  “Friends of Ireland” luncheon on Capitol Hill attended by House Speaker Paul Ryan\, President Barack Obama\, Vice President Joe Biden\, and Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny\, and has headlined virtually every major U.S .Celtic fest for several years in a row. With a strong bluegrass influence (they call their music \"Celtgrass\")\, the band is rapidly gaining favor in the worlds of bluegrass and Americana as well\, as evidenced by their invites to Merlefest\, ROMP Fest\, Sisters Folk Fest\, Old Settlers Fest\, Four Corners Fest\, and more! They come to Michigan with a new release\, \"Haven.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CLaSP Seminar Series - Prof. Elizabeth Barnes
DESCRIPTION:Our guest for this week's CLaSP Seminar Series will be Prof. Elizabeth Barnes of Colorado State University. \n\n \n\nTitle: \"Advancing Forecasts of Weather Extremes into Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Timescales\"\n\nAbstract: The intrinsic chaos of the atmosphere makes the prediction of extreme weather at subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) timescales (~2 to 5 weeks) an inherently difficult task. We demonstrate here that the potential exists to advance forecast lead times of extreme weather events into S2S timescales through knowledge of two of the atmosphere’s most prominent oscillations\; the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and the Quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO). We present evidence of a dynamical relationship linking atmospheric rivers (narrow plumes of intense atmospheric moisture that lead to floods and droughts over the west coast) to the MJO and the QBO through modulation of North Pacific blocking using reanalyses and retrospective forecasts of S2S forecast systems\, and demonstrate differences in predictability across MJO phases. We conclude by presenting an empirical prediction scheme for anomalous atmospheric river activity based solely on the MJO and QBO and demonstrate skillful subseasonal “forecasts of opportunity” 4+ weeks ahead. This methodology is also shown to produce skillful forecasts of hail and tornado activity over the Plains and Southeast U.S.. With the wide-ranging impacts associated with extreme weather events\, even modest gains in the subseasonal prediction of anomalous activity may support early action decision making and benefit numerous sectors of society.\n\nPlease join us!

SUMMARY:Presentation:Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Towards Better Autonomous Systems: Recent Advances at the Intersection of Control and AI
DESCRIPTION:Panagiotis Tsiotras \nDean’s Professor\nSchool of Aerospace Engineering & Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines \nGeorgia Institute of Technology\n\nRobotics and autonomous machines are already transforming our lives and society in many different ways\, some of which we are only now starting to comprehend.  From self-driving cars\, drones\, digital assistants and medical robots to AI & ML tools used by insurance companies\, consumer electronics and the entertainment industry\, these intelligent machines (and the algorithms that drive them) will change how we work\, we commute\, we learn\, and we operate and interact with each other. Control theory has a major role to play in designing and building the next generation of safety-critical autonomous systems. Algorithmic control theory\, in particular\, reflects the current trend of merging of control\, computer/computational science\, information theory\, and communications\, into a new discipline for optimization-based\, on-line\, control synthesis\, which is a crucial ingredient for these autonomous systems to reason about\, and operate in\, high-dimensional search spaces\, in the presence of uncertainty or malicious adversaries\, and under severe time and informational constraints. In this talk I will present some of the recent work conducted at the Dynamics and Control Systems Laboratory (DCSL) at Georgia Tech that aims at answering some of these challenges\, which lie at the intersection of control\, AI\, and robotics. \n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nPanagiotis Tsiotras is the Dean’s Professor at the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech\, where he is also the Director of the Dynamics and Control Systems Laboratory (DCSL) and the Associate Director for Research in the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM). He is also affiliated with of the interdisciplinary Center for Space Technology and Research (C-STAR) and the Decision and Control Laboratory (DCL) at Georgia Tech. He has held visiting research appointments with at Ecole des Mines (Mines ParisTech)\, INRIA-Rocquencourt in France\, MIT\, and JPL. He holds degrees in Mechanical Engineering\, Aerospace Engineering\, and Mathematics. His current research interests are in optimal and nonlinear control and their connections with robotics\, AI\, and decision-making for autonomous systems. He has published more than 300 articles in these areas. He is currently serving as the Chief Editor of the Frontiers in Space Robotics\, while in the past he served in the Editorial Boards of the AIAA Journal of Guidance\, Control and Dynamics\, the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control\, the IEEE Control Systems Magazine and the Journal on Dynamical and Control Systems. He is a recipient of the IEEE Award for Technical Excellence in Aerospace Control\, the NSF CAREER award\, the Sigma Xi Society Excellence in Research award\, and the Outstanding Aerospace Engineer award from Purdue.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series: Life in a giant water bath: consequences for ecological dynamics in the ocean
DESCRIPTION:The same ecological and evolutionary processes operate across land and sea\, and yet ocean life survives in a dramatically different fluid environment. The ocean is\, in effect\, a 1.3 sextillion liter water bath with muted thermal variation through time and space\, limited oxygen\, and intense convective and conductive processes. In this talk\, I will trace some of the consequences for evolution\, physiology\, population dynamics\, community assembly\, and conservation at sea\, including striking contrasts and similarities to patterns on land. I will present evidence that marine animals live closer to their upper thermal limits than do species on land\, and that marine species have responded faster to temperature change across time-scales from seasons to decades. Finally\, I will discuss some of the unique conservation challenges these dynamics create for ocean life and their potential solutions.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/_lyAp51rmSg

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Evaluating Site Seismic Parameters for Construction
DESCRIPTION:Geotechnical engineers are frequently faced with addressing seismicity issues\nassociated with construction of new buildings or additions to existing buildings. According to building codes and related guidelines\, the geotechnical engineer has several methods to evaluate seismicity issues at sites where new construction is planned. The findings developed from the geotechnical engineer’s evaluation are then used by the project structural engineer in their design of the proposed building. This presentation will provide a broad overview of Mr. Jedele’s experience with the methods available in the geotechnical engineer’s toolbox and include several case histories where these tools have been used and compared with each other.\n\nMr. Jedele received his baccalaureate and MS degrees from the University of Michigan. He is a Past President of the ASCE Geo-Institute Board of Governors\, and he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Academy of Geo-Professionals. In 1991 Larry was named the Engineer of the Year by the Michigan Section of ASCE and earlier by the Ann Arbor Branch of ASCE. He is a registered engineer in Michigan\, Indiana\, Ohio\, and Tennessee

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Systems Analysis of Glycosylated Antibodies: Regulation\, Engineering and Functions
DESCRIPTION:N-linked glycosylation is a post-translational modification that affects potency\, safety\, immunogenicity\, immune effector functions\, and clearance of various classes of therapeutic proteins including antibodies. These modifications are shaped by cellular and enzyme-mediated processes\, regulated at both transcriptional and metabolic levels. Understanding how these processes operate dynamically will be vital to designing the most effective therapeutics for various treatment applications\, but at the present time principled insights are limited due to the complexity of contributing factors. I will describe a systems biology approach that includes multi-dimensional omics analyses and mathematical modeling to develop a mechanistic understanding of N-glycosylation of antibodies produced during fed-batch cultures of producer cells\, generating new insights that offer opportunities for more precise control of N-glycosylation. The functional role of glycosylation will then be probed in a representative study\, where selective transfer of antibodies with di-galactosylated Fc-glycan profiles across the placenta from mothers to newborns is observed. This additional work can provide critical information for the design of next generation maternal vaccines engineered to elicit antibodies that will effectively enhance immunity in neonates.

SUMMARY:Other:Toward Exact Quantum Chemistry by a Combination of Stochastic Wave Function Sampling and Deterministic Coupled-Cluster Computations
DESCRIPTION:                        One of the main goals of electronic structure theory is precise ab initio description of increasingly complex polyatomic systems. It is widely accepted that size extensive methods based on the coupled-cluster (CC) theory are excellent candidates for addressing this goal. Indeed\, when applied to molecular properties and chemical reaction pathways\, the CC hierarchy\, including CCSD\, CCSDT\, CCSDTQ\, etc.\, rapidly converges to the limit of the exact\, full configuration interaction (FCI)\, diagonalization of the Hamiltonian\, allowing one to capture the relevant many-electron correlation effects in a conceptually straightforward manner through particle-hole excitations from a single Slater determinant. One of the key challenges has been how to incorporate higher-than-two-body components of the cluster operator\, needed to achieve a quantitative description\, without running into prohibitive computational costs of CCSDT\, CCSDTQ\, and similar schemes\, while eliminating failures of the more practical perturbative approximations of the CCSD(T) type in multi-reference situations\, such as chemical bond breaking. In this talk\, we examine a radically new way of obtaining accurate energetics equivalent to high-level CC calculations\, even when electronic quasi-degeneracies become significant\, at the small fraction of the computational cost\, while preserving the black-box character of single-reference computations. The key idea is a merger of the deterministic formalism\, abbreviated as CC(P\;Q) [1\,2]\, with the stochastic CI [3\,4] and CC [5] Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) approaches [6]. We also demonstrate that one can take the merger of the stochastic and deterministic ideas to the ultimate level and use it to enable precise extrapolations of the exact\, FCI\, energetics based on the early stages of FCIQMC propagations [7]. The advantages of the new methodologies will be illustrated by molecular examples\, where the goal is to recover the nearly exact\, CCSDT and CCSDTQ\, and exact\, FCI\, energetics in situations involving chemical bond dissociations and reaction pathways. Possible extensions of this work to excited electronic states [8] and strongly correlated systems [9] will be mentioned as well.\n\n[1] J. Shen and P. Piecuch\, Chem. Phys. 401\, 180 (2012)\; J.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CSAS Film Series | Soz - A Ballad of Maladies
DESCRIPTION:This documentary is part of Traveling Film South Asia 2018.\n\nIndia | 2016 | 85 mins \n    \nOf folk\, rock and hip-hop\, this documentary captures the rhythm and blues of resistance in the Kashmir valley. It is a portrait of those musicians and artists who have turned their art into weapons of resistance during periods of heightened state repression and violence in the region. As the Kashmiri satirist and poet Zareef Ahmad Zareef ponders over the credibility of his pen\, a sparrow’s song of lament takes over\; taking us on a journey to discover the threads of people's history of Kashmir\, which has been preserved in the region's folk poetry and music for centuries. A departure from Kashmir's orientalist stereotype of a 'paradise' unfurls a transformed cultural landscape of the deeply militarized valley where spiritual ideals of Sufyana music and traditional poetry metamorphose into political lyricism of modern Hip Hop and Rock. From underground artists and rock musicians to cartoonists and performance artists\, the cultural practitioners in the film evoke collective memory of their people whilst negotiating with questions of survival\, resistance and freedom – all deeply embroiled in the complex conflict of Kashmir. \n\nAbout the Directors: \nTushar is an independent filmmaker and film editor based in Mumbai. He has worked on numerous independent and NGO-based documentary films over the last seven years. A post-graduate in mass communication from the AJK Mass Communication Research Centre\, he has also taught filmmaking at several universities besides filming and editing independent work. Sarvnik is a writer and independent filmmaker based out of the Mumbai film industry. She has worked as a screenwriter in the industry over the last seven years after completing her graduation in Mass Communication from the AJK Mass Communication Research Centre. Besides writing for films she has also authored a book titled ‘Where arrows meet’. This is the debut feature-length flm of both the filmmakers. \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.

SUMMARY:Meeting:What is Socialism and How To Fight For It
DESCRIPTION:President Donald Trump’s fascist tirades against socialism show the ruling class fears the specter of revolution. “The twilight hour of socialism has arrived in our hemisphere\,” Trump declared on February 18.\n\nIt is not socialism’s “twilight hour\,” but rather its resurgence. \n\nSocialism is becoming increasingly popular\, but many are asking themselves: what is socialism? \nThe capitalist media presents Democratic Party politicians like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as “socialists.” But these members of the pro-capitalist Democratic Party do not call for mass strikes\, the expropriation of the wealth of the rich\, the nationalization of the corporations\, the ending of all US wars and military involvement abroad\, and the opening of the borders to give immigrants the right to travel freely. \n\nChallenging the power of the financial aristocracy requires the revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist system. The fight for genuine social equality requires mobilizing the social power of the billions-strong international working class in a united movement for socialism. \nThe coming period will see the rebirth of the class struggle on a scale not seen in decades. To prepare\, socialists must study the history of the workers’ movement and of Trotskyism\, the revolutionary socialist opposition to Stalinism\, and the representatives of classical Marxism today. \n\nThis lecture will explain what genuine socialism is. \n\nJoseph Kishore is the National Secretary of the Socialist Equality Party (US)\, the US section of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI). He is a prominent writer for the World Socialist Web Site\, the most widely-read socialist news publication in the world.

SUMMARY:Performance:Merrily We Roll Along
DESCRIPTION:The iconic 1981 musical by legendary composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim is being boldly brought to life through a staged concert production in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Merrily We Roll Along moves backwards in time\, exploring the life of three friends from their disenchanted adulthood to the bright-eyed optimism of their youth\, exploring all the choices they made along the way. The production will feature a full 15-piece orchestra sharing the stage with the actors.\n\nDirector Megumi Nakamura\, a Senior in the renowned University of Michigan Musical Theatre Department\, is thrilled to be taking on the challenging musical\, saying\,\n\n            “For any student or enthusiast of musical theater\, getting to work on a musical written by Stephen Sondheim is both a daunting and exhilarating experience. The music and story of this play are beautiful and widely relatable\, but because of what some label as a challenging script\, the show is seldom produced. Consequently\, getting the opportunity to direct this show with some of the best young musical theater actors and designers in the country is an enormously thrilling and unique opportunity.”
