DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908131@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T103906 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190310T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190310T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728309@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181221T080307 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190310T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190310T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Scientist Spotlight DESCRIPTION:Visit with University of Michigan scientists and participate in engaging\, hands-on activities to learn about their cutting-edge research!

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).

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

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908132@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190326T063017 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190311T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190311T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:PhD Pathways: Rackham Public Engagement Fellowship Interviewing Workshop DESCRIPTION:If you are in Handshake\, Click \"Join event\" to RSVP* Not in Handshake?

We first train a prediction algorithm on data from past experiments. Examining the games where our algorithm predicts correctly\, but existing models don’t\, leads us to add a parameter to the level-1 model that significantly improves predictions. We then generate new games where our modified level-1 model l performs poorly\, and obtain better predictions with a hybrid model that uses a decision tree to decide game-by-game which rule to use for making predictions. Finally\, we show how to further improve predictions using crowd-sourced predictions as an input.

The Case of Special Education Research DESCRIPTION:Abstract: An often underlooked issue is the importance of using the right methods to answer research questions that have significant policy implications. Specialized policies may be required to address issues specific to certain at-risk populations. Though understanding these populations is important\, they can be difficult to study. A prime example are children with disabilities\, who are legally entitled to a free and appropriate education in U.S. schools\, usually through the receipt of special education services. Researchers have long struggled with the lack of an appropriate comparison group to children with disabilities\, especially when assessing best-evidence practices or the impact of receiving specialized services. As a result\, research on the education of children with disabilities has largely relied on correlational or descriptive statistics\, which are then used to make decisions about laws\, regulations\, and funding allocations. In this talk\, Dr. Woods explains how improving methodological choices about specialized populations can substantively change the conclusions we draw about how (in)effective specialized services might be. Obtaining a better understanding of how education impacts at-risk populations like children with disabilities would not only improve policy\, but could also alter the way we value the education of children with disabilities.

Engel’s group explores the relationship between the form of the organelle and the function of its resident macromolecules. How does organelle architecture direct molecular function\, and reciprocally\, how do macromolecules sculpt and shape organelles? To investigate these questions\, they use focused ion beam (FIB) milling of frozen cells followed by cryo-electron tomography to image macromolecules within their native cellular environment. Through a combination of nanometer-precision localization and high-resolution structural analysis\, Engel aims to chart the molecular landscapes of organelles. Thanks to its superb cryo-EM contrast and textbook organelle architecture\, the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas is an ideal specimen for this approach. Engel’s group has taken a holistic approach to survey the whole integrated “planimal”\, with in situ molecular studies of the nuclear envelope\, ER\, Golgi\, basal body apparatus (centrioles)\, and chloroplast. In this talk\, Engel will provide an overview of some of these studies\, touching on proteasome-rich degradation centers\, the nuclear pore complex\, COPI coats\, and the molecular organization of chloroplast’s thylakoid membranes and pyrenoid.

Often the networks contain an identifiable pacemaker or external forcing. In these cases\, the network is said to be entrained\, because the pacemaker determines the overall network period and phasing. In this talk\, we consider entrainment that arises in circadian systems. Such networks are subject to an external\, pacemaking 24 hour light-dark drive in which the intensity and total hours of light within the 24 hour cycle are important parameters. We will introduce a new computational tool\, a 1-dimensional entrainment map\, to assess whether and at what phase a circadian oscillator entrains to periodic light-dark (LD) forcing. We have applied the map to a variety of circadian oscillators ranging from the Novak-Tyson model for protein-mRNA interactions to the Kronauer model of the human circadian rhythm. Using the entrainment map\, we systematically investigate how various intrinsic properties of the circadian oscillator interact with properties of the LD forcing to produce stable circadian rhythms. We will focus on how to use the map to study the reentrainment process due long-distance travel to address the so-called east-west asymmetry of jet lag. Further\, we show that individuals can experience jet lag after purely north-south travel. The mathematical and computational methods used to study these problems should be of wide interest to members of the mathematics community. \n UID:59063-14677938@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180914T103922 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190311T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190311T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

Viruses also use RNA to manipulate the cellular machinery in unexpected ways\, and the remarkable variety of RNA-based strategies used by viruses thus gives a window into the RNA world and its capabilities. How is RNA able to perform so many different tasks? The answer\nlies\, in part\, in the ability of RNA elements to fold into complex and unexpected three-dimensional conformations that then interact with their cellular targets and alter the target’s function. By combining structural biology\, virology\, biochemistry\, bioinformatics\, and biophysics\, we seek to understand the three-dimensional folds of these RNA elements\, their conformational dynamics\, how they manipulate the cellular machinery\, and how this relates to viral infection. In this presentation\, I will present discoveries from my lab regarding RNA elements that have the ability to\nspecifically block the ability of exonucleases to degrade RNA\, leading to the production of pathogenic viral non-coding RNAs. I will reveal the structural basis for this ability\, and also how we are finding these RNAs in diverse places\, how we are using them to engineer novel research tools\, and how we believe we have discovered a general mode of RNA maturation that may exist beyond the viral RNA world\, in cellular RNAs.

Information about this field is mostly phrased in terms of two-point statistics\, such as the power spectrum of galaxies or weak lensing\, essentially approximating the large-scale structure as a Gaussian random field. However\, the Universe is far more complex than that: Gravitational collapse turns the simple initial conditions into the cosmic web consisting of halos\, filaments and large voids we see today. In my talk\, I will show how we can use the abundance of galaxy clusters residing in the the 'knots' of the cosmic web to probe the non-Gaussian shape of the density field. This gives us insights into the physics of structure formation\, and provides at the same time a new method to search for deviations from the cosmological standard model.\n UID:61833-15215047@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61833 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190326T123029 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190311T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190311T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Internship Lab DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to start searching for a great internship?

Audiences for high-priced entertainment (like foreign-language opera) disappeared as Americans turned to newer forms of entertainment (operettas\, opéra bouffe) and to one older style: opera in English. The company of American soprano Clara Louise Kellogg was a major beneficiary of this situation for four years in the 1870s. Kellogg not only circumvented male operatic managers by establishing and managing her own company\, but also helped to rekindle an American taste for opera in English. These developments marked a pivotal point in the history of Americans’ support for foreign-language opera\, which henceforth was patronized by a shrinking demographic of wealthy individuals. Middle-class Americans never regained their former love for this style of opera\, turning instead (and permanently) to other types of musical theatre.\n\nEvent co-sponsored by the Department of American Culture.

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.

It is hypothesized that an insidious positive feedback loop exists between arterial stiffness and systemic blood pressure. The clinical measurement to assess arterial stiffness non-invasively is carotid to femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (cf-PWV)\, yet controversy still remains. There exists a need to evaluate cf-PWV as an early diagnostic of progressive vascular stiffening and to better assess the potential effects of regional variations in central mechanical properties on blood hemodynamics that adversely affect microcirculation in the heart\, brain and kidneys.\n\n \n\nComputational modeling is a powerful tool to understand the complexity of central arterial function. In this work we used a robust\, data-driven computational framework that combines 3D geometric vascular models\, Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analyses\, Windkessel models to represent the distal vasculature and an external tissue boundary condition to represent perivascular support. FSI methods allowed to account for the deformability of the central vessels and included spatially variable anisotropic tissue properties.\n\n \n\nWe first introduced a data-driven FSI computational model of the human aorta to simulate effects of aging-related changes in regional wall properties and geometry on several metrics of arterial stiffness. Using the best available biomechanical data\, our results for PWV compared well to findings reported for large population studies while rendering a higher resolution description of evolving metrics of aortic stiffening. Our results revealed similar spatio-temporal trends between stiffness and its surrogate metrics\, except PWV\, thus indicating a complex dependency of the latter on geometry. Furthermore\, our analysis highlighted the importance of the tethering exerted by external tissues.\n\n \n\nDue to difficulty in obtaining detailed information on evolving regional mechanical properties in humans\, we focused on mouse models of vascular aging\, which offer the advantage of easier longitudinal studies and data accessibility. We developed a workflow to combine in vivo and in vitro biomechanical data to build mouse-specific computational models of the central vasculature. These FSI models are informed by micro-CT imaging\, in vitro mechanical characterization of the arterial wall\, and in vivo ultrasound and pressure measurements. We reproduced central artery biomechanics in adult wild-type\, fibulin-5 deficient mice\, a model of early vascular aging\, and naturally aged wild type mice. Findings were also examined as a function of sex. Computational results compared well with data available in the literature and suggested that PWV does not well reflect the presence of regional differences in stiffening and it is affected by vascular wall stiffness heterogeneities. Modeling is also useful for evaluating quantities that are difficult to measure experimentally\, including local pulse pressures at the renal arteries and characteristics of the peripheral vascular bed that may be altered by disease.\n\n \n\nNotwithstanding the many advantages of animal models\, it is important to consider that invasive experimental procedures may alter the quantity of interest. Advanced computational models offer a unique method to evaluate these measurements. Herein we evaluated the effects of commercially available catheters on the very parameters that they are designed to measure\, namely murine blood pressure and PWV. We investigated two different setups and observed that both alter the measured values of PWV.\n\n \n\nLastly\, we showed preliminary results involving automatic parameter estimation and expansion of the FSI framework to account for the large motions imposed by the heart on the aorta.\n\nChair: Alberto Figueroa UID:62022-15276095@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62022 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project - 2000A CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190227T140112 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190312T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190312T110000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Enter the As I See It Photography Competition!

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908133@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190214T094704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190312T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190312T120000 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.

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.

On the other hand\, many of us are not so adept at actually generating and maintaining a constant beat over a period of time. Demonstrating a beat is a very complicated task. Among other things\, it involves the ability of our brains to estimate time intervals and to make physical movements\, for example hitting a drum\, in coordination with the time estimates that we make. How the complex system comprised of our brain and body solves this problem is an open and active area of research. In this talk\, I will introduce a neuromechanistic model of a beat generator\, which is defined here as a group of neurons that can learn to keep a constant beat across a range of frequencies relevant to music. The model is a biophysical manifestation of two different types of models: error/correction and neural entrainment models\, both of which will be reviewed. The goal of the talk is not just to introduce a new way of thinking of beat generation\, but also to raise a series of questions about the nature of time and the role of perception in our ability to make decisions.

It is supersymmetric\, with soft supersymmetry breaking via gaugino condensation that simultaneously stabilizes all moduli and generates a hierarchy between the Planck and the Fermi scale. It has gauge matter\, chiral fermions\, and several other important features of our world\, including a De Sitter vacuum. Here we show that the theory also contains a successful inflaton\, which is essentially the overall volume modulus of the compactified manifold. We will discuss the cosmological and experimental implications of this theory.

The war disrupted many of the institutions that Europeans had built and the social networks they had cultivated over the previous century. Drawing on sources from across both the Atlantic and the Pacific\, this talk shows how American collectors and curators took advantage of openings to make uncontested acquisitions and to launch new scholarly projects. Their successes depended in turn on art dealers in China\, who saw and seized their own opportunities to build thriving international businesses in the midst of the Great War. \n \nIan Shin is Assistant Professor of History and American Culture at the University of Michigan\, where his teaching and research focus on the history of the U.S. in the world and Asian American history between 1850 and 1950. He is currently completing a book manuscript entitled “Imperfect Knowledge: Chinese Art and American Power in the Transpacific Progressive Era\,” which examines the geopolitics of Chinese art collecting and scholarship in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century. His publications have appeared in the Journal of American-East Asian Relations and the Connecticut History Review. He received his Ph.D. from Columbia University. \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.

Each contributes to bone quality and strength and may change independently\, or together\, with disease progression and treatment. Even so\, there is a near ubiquitous reliance on ionizing x-ray-based approaches to characterize bone mineral density (BMD) which only accounts for ~60% of bone strength and may not adequately predict fracture risk. In a rare and severe bone disease such as osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)\, the hallmark genotypic and phenotypic variability makes clinical management particularly challenging. Treatment strategies rely on anti-resorptive bisphosphonates which address osteoclastic\, but not osteoblastic deficiencies. Radiographic characterization of efficacy identifies structural\, but not biomaterial-level alterations. Together\, there is an unmet need for improved treatment strategies and means to longitudinally monitor treatment outcomes at the biomaterial-level to improve clinical management of bone disease. \n\n \n\nThis thesis will describe a novel model to understand and predict individual patient treatment response to an emerging therapeutic\, sclerostin antibody (SclAb) prior to clinical exposure. We then challenge the current bone imaging gold-standard with the characterization of a novel zero echo time (ZTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that may hold promise in identifying matrix-level and biochemical changes characteristic of OI and other diseases.\n\n \n\nSclAb has gained interest as a promising bone-forming therapeutic suggesting a novel treatment strategy through inhibition of endogenous sclerostin but effects in human pediatric OI bone remains unknown. We treated bone samples retrieved from pediatric OI patients during surgery with SclAb in vitro and quantified transcriptional response of Wnt-related genes. Results demonstrated a bone-forming response in a manner paralleling pre-clinical experience. Factors inherent to the unique phenotypic/genotypic patient profile such as the patient’s baseline cellular phenotype appear to govern response magnitude\; OI patients with low untreated expression of osteoblast-related genes demonstrated the greatest magnitude of upregulation during treatment. To expand findings in vivo\, we developed a novel OI xenograft model where bone was implanted into a host-derived microenvironment. The model was efficacious\; bone was bioaccessible by the host and retained patient-derived bone cells throughout implantation. Treatment increased bone density and volume with a variable outcome between cortical and trabecular bone. Patients with low baseline osterix demonstrated robust human-derived osterix-expression with treatment supporting in vitro findings. The validated xenograft model can be used to establish patient-specific factors influencing treatment response suggesting a personalized medicine approach to managing OI.\n\n \n\nCharacterization of treatment efficacy for OI\, as well as other metabolic bone diseases\, is complicated by the lack of imaging modality able to safely monitor material-level and biochemical changes in vivo. To improve upon BMD\, we tested the efficacy of a 3D ZTE-MRI approach in an estrogen-deficient (OVX) model of osteoporosis during growth. ZTE-MRI-derived BMD correlated significantly with BMD measured using the gold standard\, µCT\, which significantly increased longitudinally over the duration of the study. Growth appeared to overcome estrogen-deficient changes in bone mass yet ZTE-MRI detected significant changes consistent with estrogen deficiency by ten weeks in cortical water\, cortical matrix organization (T1) and marrow fat. Findings point to ZTE-MRI’s ability to quantify BMD in good agreement with the gold standard and detect biochemical alterations consistent with disease independent of the mineral phase suggesting its value for bone imaging. Together\, results from this thesis indicate a new treatment design and non-ionizing imaging strategy to improve management of bone diseases such as OI.\n\nChair: Kenneth Kozloff UID:62023-15276097@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62023 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine LOCATION:Taubman Library - 2903 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190312T181532 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190312T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190312T130000 SUMMARY:Other:Surfing the excited state energy surface towards new applications in photochemistry and biomedicine DESCRIPTION: We present recent work on the study and application of environmentally sensitive excited states. Our central hypothesis is that environmentally sensitive deactivation of the molecular excited state can be used to selectively turn a photo-deprotection reaction ON and OFF. Because photochemistry is a zero-sum competition of the rates of different excited state processes\, the manipulation of those rates by the environment selects which pathway is dominant.

Philosophers of psychology have used armchair methods to analyze concepts in scientific psychology: self-control\, attention\, mind-wandering\, and so on. We will hear from two speakers who combine these approaches\, using empirical methods to test folk opinions about the psychological concepts of (1) mind-wandering and (2) self-control.\n---\nZachary C. Irving\n\"Mind-Wandering: Empirical Conceptual Analysis\" \n\nAlthough mind-wandering research is progressing at a rapid rate\, stark disagreements are emerging about what exactly the term “mind-wandering” means. According to the four most prominent views\, mind-wandering is: 1) task-unrelated thought\, 2) stimulus independent thought\, 3) unintentional thought\, or 4) dynamically unguided thought. Theorists involved in the debate have frequently suggested that their respective views capture the ordinary understanding of mind-wandering\, but no systematic studies have assessed these claims. In three large factorial studies\, we present participants (n=822) with vignettes that describe a person’s thoughts and ask whether her mind was wandering\, while systematically manipulating features relevant to the four major accounts of mind-wandering. We find the dynamic framework explains between four and twenty times more variance in participants’ mind-wandering judgments than the other accounts. A separate set of studies assesses whether the folk believe that we can control and be responsible for the costs of mind-wandering. Philosophers and scientists have long emphasized the costs of mind-wandering in education\, driving\, and many other contexts. Yet almost no research has assessed whether we are responsible to those costs\, or whether they simply happen to us. In a large multifactorial study (400)\, we find that participants hold others responsible for the costs of mind-wandering and that those judgments are mediated by (a) care\, (b) stress\, and (c) intuitions about the controllability of thought. In another study\, we experimentally manipulate subjects' intuitions about the controllability of thought\, and find that doing so increases perceived responsibility for mind-wandering.\n---\nJuan Pablo Bermúdez\n\"What is Self-Control? A Study of the Folk Concept\"\n\nSome scholars consider that exerting self-control consists mainly in inhibiting a prepotent response. Others accept several other possible strategies\, like avoiding tempting situations or “tying oneself to the mast”. Which of these strategies are included in the everyday concept of self-control? Some claim their theories align with the pre-theoretical everyday notion\, but the issue has not been empirically studied. Here we report a series of pre-registered studies aimed at mapping out the descriptive and evaluative structures of the lay concept of self-control. With respect to the concept’s descriptive aspect (what strategies does the folk concept include?)\, we find that the folk concept does not neatly match with common theoretical distinctions (cognitive vs. situational strategies\; response-focused vs. antecedent-focused strategies). Instead\, people tend to distinguish between strategies based solely on internal psychological resources and those relying on ‘external scaffolding’ tools. People tend to ascribe self-control to agents deploying both internal and scaffolded strategies\, but they ascribe significantly more self-control to the former. This suggests that internal control is the paradigmatic self-control strategy\, but by no means the only one. How are these strategies normatively evaluated? In a series of ongoing studies we assess whether people consider these strategy types to be differentially more effective\, desirable or advisable. We expect to find more positive attributions to internal-resource strategies\, given their descriptive centrality. Empirical evidence suggests other strategies are more effective\, so this would be a key finding: an aspect in which revising the folk concept could have important practical consequences.

It is based on extensive post-disaster field work in Texas\, Florida\, Puerto Rico\, and northern and southern California\, along with surveys and secondary data analysis. While media reports and the existing scholarly literature focus heavily on the role of government\, non-governmental entities provide critical services related to public safety and public health after disasters. Over the long run\, NGEs (including contractors and insurance companies) play a critical role in shaping recovery and economic development. This talk explores the practical and political implications of this form of delegated governance\, which is enshrined in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Response Framework. I highlight the ability of NGEs to swiftly provide services\, their flexibility\, and their unique capacity to reach marginalized populations. Despite these strengths\, there are high levels of variation in NGE capacity across jurisdictions\, and NGEs face serious coordination and service delivery problems.

Focusing on English-language newspapers from the 1910s and 1920s\, this talk will discuss three challenging writers\, all pseudonymous\, who share a style of writing that might be dismissed today as turgid\, sermonizing\, imitative\, or simply “unreadable.” What kind of cultural and political encounters were articulated by such authors in writing fiction for the press? Why did they choose English above African literary languages? What kind of archive is constituted by creative writing in colonial West African newspapers?\n\nMy research focuses on the public sphere in colonial West Africa and issues of gender\, sexuality\, and power as articulated through popular print cultures\, including newspapers\, pamphlets\, posters\, and magazines. I study how local intellectuals–ranging from school leavers to nationalist leaders–debated moral and political issues through the medium of print. I am especially interested in the cultural histories of printing and reading in Africa\, and the spaces for local creativity and subversive resistance in colonial-era newspapers. My recent research project\, “The Cultural Politics of Dirt in Africa\, 1880-present\,” positions these interests in an interdisciplinary and comparative historical perspective\, and includes the study of popular discourses about dirt in Nairobi and Lagos in relation to changing ideas about taste and disgust\, sexuality\, multiculturalism\, and urbanization.

In the hope of doing just that\, we have developed a system for turning optical photons into cavity Rydberg polaritons: quasiparticles which inherit their spatial waveforms from the modes of an optical cavity and gain strong interactions from Rydberg excitations of an atomic gas. In a single cavity mode\, the strong interactions between polaritons manifest as transport blockade\, in which an individual photon in the cavity prevents any other photons from entering. To go beyond blockade\, we use Floquet engineering to enable the polaritons to move around and self-organize among multiple transverse modes of the cavity. Finally\, I will discuss our preliminary experiments on building photonic Laughlin states\, the ground states of a fractional quantum Hall system.\n \n\n UID:61898-15232577@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61898 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190201T140100 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190312T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190312T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Charcot's Brazilian Monkey: Religion\, Psychiatry and Nearhuman Attraction DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This event has been rescheduled to Tuesday\, March 12. \n\nTwo Rosalies: The first was one of pre-psychiatry’s most famous patients\, Rosalie Leroux\, who entered the care of a rising medical star in late-nineteenth-century Paris\, Jean-Martin Charcot.

Dr. Cohen studies how functional brain networks interact and reconfigure when confronted with changing cognitive demands\, when experiencing transformations across development\, and when facing disruptions in healthy functioning due to disease.\n\nPresentation Title: Functional Brain Network Organization and Dynamics in Health and Disease\n\nAbstract: \n\nThe brain’s ability to adaptively engage different functional networks in the face of a changing environment is an important characteristic that enables a wide variety of behaviors. The goal of my research program is to understand how distinct brain networks interact with each other and flexibly reconfigure when confronted with a dynamic environment\, as well as how network integration contributes to individual differences in behavior in both health and disease. In my talk\, I will first discuss adaptive reconfiguration of functional brain network organization in response to changes in cognitive demands\, followed by a depiction of situations in which stable brain network organization is adaptive. I will end by describing how dysfunctional brain network organization in ADHD underlies symptoms and cognitive deficits. Together\, this research provides evidence that the healthy brain systematically reconfigures to adapt to current demands\, and that dysfunction in this dynamic network behavior underlies ADHD.

In this work Yi borrows the language of the Japanese colonizer and presents US slavery as a symbolic form of the colonial condition in Korea. But while creating a sympathetic connection between the enslaved and the colonized\, Yi refuses to identify Koreans with African Americans as a means of counteracting the colonized’s own subaltern status.

Belin Lecture in American Jewish Affairs\n\n2018 marks the 70th anniversary of two momentous events in 20th-century history: the birth of the State of Israel and the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Both remain tied together in the ongoing debates about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict\, global antisemitism\, and American foreign policy. Yet today American Jews are increasingly divided on the subject of Israel and human rights. Many on the Jewish Right and the Jewish Left increasingly imagine Zionism and international human rights as intrinsically incompatible – though they differ in their reasoning. Drawing on his recent book\, Rooted Cosmopolitans\, Professor Loeffler will discuss the deeper historical roots of this divide and its implications for the future of American Jewish politics.\n\nDriving\nFrom the parking lot\, use the elevator at the east end of the parking structure (stairwell number 2)\, closest to Washtenaw Avenue and Palmer Field.

Through this event\, students and the general public will be able to hear from and participate in a Q/A with one of the nation's top conservative minds. More info on the event can be found at yaf.org\, Twitter (@yafumich)\, Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/YAFUMich/)\, and Instagram (@yafumich). \n\n\nBen Shapiro is editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire and host of \"The Ben Shapiro Show\,\" the top conservative podcast in the nation and now nationally-syndicated radio show. Shapiro is the author of seven nonfiction books\; his newest work \"The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great\" will be released on March 19th. He earned a BA in Political Science from UCLA in 2004 and graduated from Harvard Law School in 2007. \nShapiro has appeared on hundreds of radio and television shows around the nation\, including \"Fox and Friends\" (Fox News)\, \"In the Money\" (CNN Financial)\, \"The Dennis Prager Show\,\" among others.\n\nYoung America's Foundation and the YAF at the University of Michigan chapter seek to educate students on conservative values that are otherwise absent on most college campuses. Shapiro has frequently addressed the issue of the Left's ideological stranglehold on academia and has worked to push back against that trend through fact and logic-based speeches and debates. \"Facts don't care about your feelings\" has become one of Ben Shapiro's trademark lines. He has appeared as the featured speaker at many conservative events on campuses nationwide\, several of those appearances targeted by progressive and \"Antifa\" activists. Shapiro\, an Orthodox Jew\, has also worked to expose the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic motivations behind the Boycott\, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

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.

In 1963 a new planning approach was developed that was much better suited to the realities of higher education in the post-World War II era. This approach transformed the campus from a loosely organized\, unattractive setting with numerous functional and organizational problems to the more coherent\, functional\, and attractive campus of today. \n\nThis two hour presentation will focus on the key role played by open space\, circulation systems\, and community interface as well as architecture to achieve the desired outcome – a functional\, well organized\, pedestrian-oriented\, and aesthetically harmonious campus. The emphasis will be on the implementation process and how the desired results were obtained\, rather than theories of campus planning or the personalities involved. It will give insight into how the campus plan was translated into a physical reality.\n\n Instructor Fred Mayer served for 37 years as the Campus Planner for the University of Michigan. The two hour presentation for those 50 and over will be held on Wednesday\, March 13\, from 10 am to 12 pm.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908134@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190214T094905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190313T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190313T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with SRC faculty Erin Ware DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ware is a self-taught HPC user and excited to host a weekly hackerspace from February 13 to April 3\, 2019. Her training has been in genetic epidemiology\, public health\, and statistics using SAS (local)\, R (server)\, Linux (on FLUX\, MBNI\, and other personal servers)\, batch scripting (SGE\, PBS\, Slurm). Dr. Ware has taught SAS (data management and statistical modeling) and introductory statistics using R. She is experienced in teaching high performance computing to individuals with limited programming background. \n\nIn this hackerspace\, Dr. Ware is particularly interested in addressing issues of data manipulation in Linux\, efficient documentation and file naming structures\, data management (SAS/R)\, setting up an HPC connection\, WinSCP\, getting around a server using basic Linux\, genomic analysis\, and high-dimensional data analysis. Dr. Ware would like to learn about SFTP using Globus\, Python\, and more advanced batch scripting in Slurm. Dr. Ware hopes you will join her hackerspace this term.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

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

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

The Language Politics of Contemporary Ukrainian Cinema: From Unreflective Confusion to Strategic Multilingualism DESCRIPTION:This talk traces the evolution of post-Soviet Ukrainian cinema\, from the excitement and experimentation of the early post-independence years to the serious economic and institutional challenges during the late 1990s and early 2000s\, to the creative revival of the latest 5 years\, in the post-Euromaidan era. The language choices made by the filmmakers serve as a window into the struggles with questions of identity\, implied audience\, and aesthetic and political choices. Films examined range from those by leading filmmakers of the older generation\, such as Kira Muratova and Iurii Illienko\, to prominent younger innovators\, such as Myroslav Slaboshpyts´kyi and Kateryna Hornostai. \n \nVitaly Chernetsky is an associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures and director of the Center for Russian\, East European & Eurasian Studies at the University of Kansas.

A subsequent meeting will take place on Thursday\, March 14 at 7 PM in the Michigan League\, Room A.\n\nThe IYSSE is declaring the imprisonment of Manning an egregious attack on democratic rights and a threat to press freedom. The courageous whistleblower was imprisoned on Friday for refusing to testify before a secret grand jury that is drawing up fabricated charges against WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange on behalf of the Trump administration. Beginning in 2010\, Manning exposed major US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan including the infamous Collateral Murder cockpit video showing a US helicopter in Baghdad gunning down 16 unarmed civilians\, including two Reuters journalists. \n\nWednesday’s demonstration is part of a series of coordinated rallies around the country\, with the Socialist Equality Party (US) and the World Socialist Web Site (wsws.org).

Mohler Prize Lecture and Reception DESCRIPTION:Title: Cosmic Collisions Reveal Einstein’s Gravitational-Wave Universe\n\nAbstract: For the first time\, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves\, arriving at the earth from cataclysmic events in the distant universe. These recent observations confirm a major prediction of Albert Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity and open an unprecedented new window onto the cosmos. Gravitational waves carry unique information about their dramatic origins and about the nature of gravity that cannot otherwise be obtained. Detected gravitational waves were produced during the final fraction of a second of the mergers of two black holes but also during the last hundred seconds of the collision of two neutron stars. The latter is the first ever cosmic event to be observed both in gravitational waves and in electromagnetic waves\, shedding light to several long-standing puzzles\, like the production of gold in nature and the physics origins of brief gamma-ray flashes. I will review the beginnings of this exciting field of cosmic exploration and the unprecedented technology and engineering that made it possible.\n\nShould you require any reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event\, please contact Stacy Tiburzi at 734-764-3440 or stibu@umich.edu.

In part\, this is because the forms of scholarly communication are diversifying as its production expands and accelerates. Scholars are starting to publish the materials of research\, e.g.\, data sets\, analytic code\, and intermediate results. These types of artifacts complement published monographs and journal articles. Besides\, communication of research results can take the form of scholarly code. In some cases\, results arrive first as machine-executable models\, which are only later reiterated and described in natural language for people to read.\n\nThese changes in scholarly communication are impacting the global advancement of biomedicine. They have sparked conversations and debates about the replicability of scientific experiments and studies. They challenge us to understand more deeply the value of integrity and continuity for the biomedical scholarly record\, in particular. A record which\, for many decades\, has been used to disseminate evidence that is needed to advance medical practice. Indeed\, for all professions\, making published scholarly code findable\, accessible\, interoperable\, and reusable (the FAIR principles) seems necessary to advance practice through mass action.\n\nFlynn's academic teamwork generally focuses on the research and development of technical knowledge infrastructure for managing and deploying computable knowledge throughout health systems. Current team projects include the Knowledge Grid\, an open source prototype platform and testbed for exploring ways to mobilize computable biomedical knowledge and thereby improve human health and safety. He holds a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and a Doctorate in Information Science\, both from the University of Michigan.

How Panzi Hospital and its Foundation Added Advocacy to its Pillars of Care DESCRIPTION:Alain Mukwege is a Congolese born physician and a human right activist. His work was inspired by his father’s\, Denis Mukwege\, the 2018 Nobel Peace prize recipient for his advocacy against sexual violence in conflicts. Alain Mukwege is a member of the advisory board of Panzi Foundation USA\, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide holistic care to victims of sexual violence and to advocate to end violence against women and girls in DR Congo and beyond its borders. He holds a Master a Clinical research and Translational Science and his research interests lie in the development of mechanisms to improve Women’s health and to prevent gender based violence. \n \nPresently living in Ann Arbor Michigan to prepare for a training in Obstetrics and Gynecology\, his work also involves building partnerships between American institutions and Panzi Hospital to help develop local Congolese capacities to address local problems. This framed collaborations with notably\, the University Of Michigan School Of Nursing and with World without Genocide. He believes that the cessation of violence against women would be indispensable in the advancement of healthy communities and that violence against women in addition to be a violation of basic human rights is also a global health hazard. \n \nThis event is sponsored by: Program in International and Comparative Studies and Donia Human Rights Center.\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.

The limited adoption of machine learning in healthcare to date highlights the fact that there remain important challenges. In this talk\, I will highlight two key challenges related to applying machine learning in healthcare: 1) interpretability and 2) small sample size. First\, machine learning has often been criticized for producing ‘black boxes.’ In this talk\, I will argue that interpretability is neither necessary nor sufficient\, demonstrating that even interpretable models can lack common sense. To address this issue\, we propose a novel regularization method that enables the incorporation of domain knowledge during model training\, leading to increased robustness. Second\, machine learning techniques benefit from large amounts of data. However\, oftentimes in healthcare we find ourselves in data poor settings (i.e.\, small sample sizes). I will show how domain knowledge can help guide architecture choices and efficiently make use of available data. There’s a critical need for machine learning in healthcare\; however\, the safe and meaningful adoption of these techniques requires close collaboration in interdisciplinary teams and a careful understanding of one’s domain.\n\nJenna Wiens is a Morris Wellman Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Her primary research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning\, data mining\, and healthcare. She is particularly interested in time-series analysis and transfer/multitask learning. The overarching goal of her research agenda is to develop the computational methods needed to help organize\, process\, and transform patient data into actionable knowledge. Jenna received her PhD from MIT in 2014. In 2015 she was named Forbes 30 under 30 in Science and Healthcare\; she received an NSF CAREER Award in 2016\; and recently she was named to the MIT Tech Review's list of Innovators Under 35.

One of the most widely disseminated universal histories - known as the \"Histoire ancienne jusqu’à César\" - was written in Flanders in French c.1210\, but then circulated widely throughout the rest of the Middle Ages\, particularly in Italy and the eastern Mediterranean\, as well as in France\, often in sumptuous illustrated copies. This lecture will focus upon the ideological freight of the \"Histoire ancienne\" being written and circulating in French in the light of the text’s own insistence on the value of being written ‘en nos lengue’. The analysis will draw on Jacques Derrida’s work on monolingualism and on the myth of a universal language\, paying particular attention to the Histoire ancienne’s\" account of Babel\, to the different visual style of manuscripts from different places (the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem\, Italy and France)\, and to the narrator’s own repeated designation of the text’s language as ‘ours’. It will be argued that texts like the \"Histoire ancienne\" instantiate what might be called a ‘language network’ as opposed to the more familiar notions of a ‘language [or speech] community’ or indeed ‘textual community’.

The antielectron (now called the positron) and the antiproton were discovered experimentally in 1932 and 1955\, respectively. It then took\, however\, more than half a century before physicists were able to create and control the atomic form of antimatter\, the antihydrogen atom\, in sufficient quantity to be able to study its properties.\n\nThe hydrogen atom\, the simplest atomic system has played a central role in developments of modern physics. By studying antihydrogen\, an antiproton orbited by an antielectron\, we wish to precisely probe the fundamental symmetries between matter and antimatter. In particular\, CPT (charge\, parity\, time-reversal) symmetry underpins relativistic quantum field theory\, and the Equivalence Principle is a key assumption in Einstein’s General Relativity. A violation of these symmetries\, even at a very minute level\, would force a radical change in the way we understand subatomic physics at its deepest level. In this talk\, I will discuss how we produce\, control\, and perform precision measurements on antihydrogen atoms that are \"bottled\" in the ALPHA antihydrogen trap at CERN.\n UID:61264-15063347@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61264 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190204T101941 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190313T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gender: New Works\, New Questions- Branding Humanity: Competing Narratives of Rights\, Violence\, and Global Citizenship by Amal Hassan Fadlalla DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \n- Amal Hassan Fadlalla\, Associate Professor\, Women's Studies\, Anthropology\, Afroamerican and African Studies\n- Sandra Gunning\, Professor\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, and American Culture\; \n- Victor Mendoza\, Associate Professor\, English and Women’s Studies\; Faculty Associate\, Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies Program\, and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies\n\nThe Save Darfur movement gained an international following\, garnering widespread international attention to this remote Sudanese territory. Celebrities and other notable public figures participated in human rights campaigns to combat violence in the region.

Amal Hassan Fadlalla asks readers to consider how national and transnational debates about violence circulate\, shape\, and re-territorialize ethnic identities\, disrupt meanings of national belonging\, and rearticulate notions of solidarity and global affiliations.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

Moreover\, this disconnect is stronger for firms with fewer\ncompetitors. This paper poses a new dynamic general equilibrium model of rational inattention with oligopolistic pricing that explains these facts. Under high micro-level strategic complementarities (1) the model implied Phillips curve relates inflation mainly to firms' expectations about their competitors' beliefs and (2) firms with fewer competitors pay more attention to their competitors' beliefs and less attention to aggregates. To provide evidence for this channel\, I measure micro-level strategic complementarity for a representative sample of firms in New Zealand and document that the average firm faces a strategic complementarity of 0.8\, and that it is decreasing with the firms' number of competitors. An exploratory calibration shows that imperfectly competitive firms' strategic inattention to aggregates significantly propagates monetary non-neutrality: it increases the impact response of output to an expansionary monetary policy shock by 25%. It also decreases the impact response of inflation to such a shock by 47% and increases its half-life by 31%.

However\, archeological and paleontological evidence reveals that the vast majority of our time as a species has been spent in small hunter-gatherer bands that are basically peaceful and egalitarian in nature. We welcome Darcia Narvaez and Peter Verbeek to talk about humans' developmental niche for peace and findings from and future directions for peace ethology\, the interdisciplinary science of peace.\n\nDarcia Narvaez is Professor of Psychology at the University of Notre Dame and integrates evolutionary\, anthropological\, neurobiological\, clinical\, developmental and education sciences in her work. She is author of the award-winning Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution\, Culture\, and Wisdom (W.W.

Registration will close when full.\n\nAbstract:\nIn this presentation\, I will discuss our ongoing efforts to identify biomarkers for drug efficacy in a panel of putative drugs for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). We are currently testing and refining biomarkers in TNBC for drug efficacy using a panel of ~400 investigational drugs and further\, using the discovered biomarkers to identify optimal drug combinations. Our central hypothesis is that biomarkers of drug efficacy in TNBC can be leveraged to identify optimal drug combinations for synergy in preclinical models of TNBC.\n\n\n\nThe Precision Health Seminar Series invites expert speakers to share meaningful\, relevant\, and late-breaking research on varied aspects of precision health. The interdisciplinary educational series\, which takes place monthly during the academic year\, features topics ranging from genetics to big data to health implementation (and much more) and is open to students\, faculty\, practitioners\, staff\, trainees\, and the general public. Our goal is to increase understanding of precision health data\, tools\, and applications\, to engage the academic community to enhance precision health research\, and to support the implementation of precision health to health systems.

He is also interested in pursuing related issues in phenomenology and metaphysics.\n\nOverview\n\"The Easy Hard and Hard Easy Problems of Consciousness: Two Reasons to Be Nice\"\nThe famous so-called “hard problem” about explaining conscious experience--which many like David Chalmers take to be a show-stopper--turns out to be easy. If you’re nice I’ll tip you off on how to solve it. But there’s a different reason why none of the famous theories you can read about in online encyclopedias (theories from philosophers and scientists like Tye\, Tononi\, Prinz\, Penrose\, Lycan\, Kriegel\, Koch\, Dennett\, Chalmers\, Carruthers\, Block\, Baars) come anywhere close to explaining conscious experience. I’ll describe that second easy-to-understand problem\, and if you’re extra nice I’ll tip you off on how to solve it\, too.

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.

Peltier teaches Writing and Literature at Eastern Michigan University\, specializing in African American literature\, science fiction\, and comic books. Having lived in Washtenaw County for nearly 25 years\, Professor Peltier has developed a strong connection to the community. His focus on comic books dates back to childhood\, while his scholarly interest in graphic art and humor began as an undergrad.\n\nThis presentation will cover the development of humor in comic books and sequential art since the debut of Mad Magazine in 1952. While the focus is on the last 65 years\, we will also look at earlier works and discuss the influence of political cartoons and social satire that have clearly influenced the more recent works\, such as 19th Century campaign comics and the works of Ollie Harrington.\n\nThis is the fourth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Humor\, Comedy\, and Laughter in Everyday Life and Beyond. The next lecture will be March 21\, 2019. The subject is: The History of Comedy in Film.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908135@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190306T181521 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190314T103000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Guest Master Class: Ana María Martínez\, soprano DESCRIPTION:Ana María Martínez is a Grammy Award-winner considered to be one of the foremost sopranos of her time.

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

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity.

Dominant theories of social cognition focus on the role of internal/essential characteristics in representations of social kinds. Drawing upon an emerging literature in philosophy\, I introduce an alternative to internalist thinking\, called \"structural thinking\"\, in which observed correlations between social categories and their properties are explained through stable external constraints\, rather than derived from the inherent nature of the categories. In a series of studies with children and adults\, I examine how people acknowledge dependence of categorical relationships on background variables\, and recognize confounds between category membership and social positions. Structural thinking emerges as a distinct\, early-developing mode of thought with a unique cognitive\, linguistic and behavioral profile which distinguishes it from other types of reasoning focused either on internal or external but non-structural factors. For example\, structural thinking promotes an expectation that properties of social kinds are mutable rather than stable\; fosters rectification of inequality in resource allocation decisions\; and supports formal explanations (“category member has property P due to category membership C”)\, generic claims (“Cs have P”)\, and some forms of generalization. This evidence highlights important connections between causal and categorical representations\, and invites us to rethink dominant theories of categorical representations and generic language.

Unfortunately\, current kidney-on-chip models lack the 3D geometry\, complexity\, and functionality necessary to recapitulate in vivo renal tissue. In this talk\, I will discuss how we address these engineering challenges by creating 3D vascularized kidney tubule models via multimaterial bioprinting and characterizing their reabsorption properties. In particular\, I will discuss how we engineer the flow property and biocompatibility of different soft materials to construct adjacent conduits that are lined with confluent epithelium and endothelium embedded in a permeable extracellular matrix. This 3D kidney model closely mimics the native microenvironment\, and thus exhibits superior cell behavior with active reabsorption of solutes including albumin uptake and glucose. Lastly\, I will show a few examples of how our model enables toxicity studies and disease modeling that have been difficult to conduct using conventional in vitro systems.\n\nBIO\n\nNeil Lin works as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Jennifer Lewis in the School of Applied Sciences and Engineering at Harvard University.

Much of this work has focused on defining boundaries of known sites\, helping to guide ongoing excavations\, and especially imaging large architectural targets. In contrast\, this talk focuses on detecting very small geophysical targets\, many of which would never likely be found without geophysical methods. We will first focus on magnetic detection of small\, discrete campfires in Alaska\, with examples spanning 12\,000 years. Implications of hearth detection will be considered in the context of broader debates about the peopling of N. America. We will then turn our attention to White Sands\, New Mexico\, where recent geophysical work with magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar has successfully detected thousands of Pleistocene “ghost tracks”. These footprints\, many of which are invisible to the eye\, record the interactions of humans and megafauna at the close of the last Ice Age. Recently collected examples of human\, mammoth\, and ground sloth prints will be presented. Together\, these examples show instances where geophysical imaging takes on a more indispensable role in archaeological research by allowing access to untapped archaeological and iconological archives that have eluded conventional detection methods.

Since then it has stimulated my curiosity and life almost continuously. My PhD thesis focused on whether the “incremental” theory of American budgeting worked for Japan. I then tried to see if non-traditional decision-making theories helped to disentangle the development of Japanese old-age policy. More recently\, I have worked on analyzing Japanese public policies in health care and long-term care\, which are distinctive and interesting and also may offer lessons for other countries. \n \nJohn Campbell: Professor Emeritus of Political Science and the University of Michigan.

While a user may want to understand the entire response surface\, they may also want to focus on interesting regions of the design space\, such as where the gradient is large. In this paper we present an algorithm that adaptively runs a simulation experiment that focuses on finding areas of the response surface with a large gradient while also gathering an understanding of the entire surface. We consider the scenario where small batches of points can be run simultaneously\, such as with multi-core processors.\n\nJoint work with Collin B. Erickson\, Matthew Plumlee\, and Susan M.

However\, definitions\, understandings\, and measurement of this concept vary due to its inherent complexity involving interactions of contexts and individuals. This panel discussion will engage the growing body of literature on microaggressions.\n\nPresenters are recipients of NCID’s Pop-up Grant on microaggressions and are members of the Diversity Scholars Network. These scholars take up the concept of microaggressions using various theoretical and methodological approaches. They will compare and contrast new findings to extant literatures\, illuminate critical questions\, and advance new theoretical/conceptual frameworks.\n\nPresenters: Ahlam Lee (Assistant Professor of Leadership Studies at Xavier University)\, Cassaundra Rodriguez (Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas)\, and Rosalie Rolón-Dow (Associate Professor of Education at the University of Delaware) UID:61829-15212856@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61829 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Inclusion,Scholarship,Social Justice LOCATION:Michigan League - Henderson Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190306T191109 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190314T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190314T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Narayana Aluru: Computational Nanoscale Hydrodynamics DESCRIPTION:Many applications in biology\, engineering and science rely on efficient hydrodynamic transport through nanometer scale pores and channels. For example\, channels and pores in cellular membranes regulate the functionality of the cell by selectively and efficiently exchanging water and ions between extra and intra cellular environments. Selective pores in ultrathin membranes have been shown to be highly efficient for water desalination and power generation. Classical theories often fail to describe fluid physics at nanometer scale. For example\, density layering\, size dependent fluid properties\, restricted translational and rotational motions\, charge inversion\, flow reversal and several other important phenomena have been observed at nanometer scale. The focus of this talk is to develop efficient theories and computational approaches to accurately describe fluid physics at nanometer scales. First\, we will introduce an empirical potential-based quasi-continuum theory (EQT) to accurately predict the structure of confined fluids. We show that the density layering from EQT matches well with molecular dynamics (MD) and EQT is many orders of magnitude faster compared to MD. Next\, we show that the EQT framework can be combined with the generalized Langevin theory to compute diffusion of confined fluids and with the classical Navier-Stokes equations to compute the transport of confined fluids. We will show several examples to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the quasi-continuum theory for confined fluids.\n\nProfessor Aluru studies problems at the crossroads of mechanical engineering\, electrical engineering\, materials science and chemical engineering. His work in the area of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) revealed previously unknown nonlinear dynamic phenomena\, such as complex oscillations\, period doubling bifurcation to chaos\, and U-sequence.

Various external forces\, challenging geometry\, the broad range of scales of motions make simulating the Earth flows extremely difficult. Although geophysical flows are only a subset of the broad CFD topics\, traditional CFD approaches are far from adequate. CFD targets on generic\, \"one-size-fits-all\" solutions\, which might not be accurate or efficient in the geophysical environment. The Geo-CFD and CFD fields have a similar length of history\, but there is scarce communication between these two. Therefore\, many fundamentally solved topics in CFD are still highly debated in Geo-CFD community.\n\nAs a dynamical core\, FV3 created many innovative numerical creations that respect the nature of the atmosphere but rarely follow the \"traditional\" thinking. After successfully powering many prominent GCMs for decades in the climate research\, FV3 is replacing the US operational weather forecast this year. A unified modeling approach (UFS) is also being implemented in every aspect of NOAA's research applications (Chaired by Prof. Rood). This presentation will very briefly introduce the core algorithms of the FV3 and try to address some controversial numerical topics in the Geo-CFD community. The main focus of this work is to present research results varying from the largest climate scales to the smallest CRM/LES scales. I will also discuss the future pathways of the FV3 development from the developer's perspective. Most work in this presentation is accomplished by the FV3 team led by Dr. SJ Lin (a.k.a. the Weather Master).

In this talk\, I will elaborate how we get around the curse of small population size\, and apply deep-learning creatively to predict disease prognosis at the population level. We have developed a tool called Cox-nnet that uses gene expression data to predict patients survival via neural network. We further developed another integration tool called DeepProg\, which uses multiple types of genomics data to predict patients survival via autoencoders. We demonstrate the utility of these methods on tens of thousands of cancer samples in the cancer genome atlas (TCGA). Lastly\, I will present our computational method\, called DeepImpute\, which uses deep-learning to impute the noisy single-cell RNA-Seq data and achieves better performance than other statistical and machine learning methods currently available. In summary\, the age of AI to genomics research has arrived and is expected to transform this field to a whole new level.\n\nLana Garmire\, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan.

Her father almost succeeded in ransoming her\, but days before her liberation she was forcibly converted and baptized as “Madalena.” In an unrelated incident\, also in 1608\, Algerian pirates captured the illegitimate son of the Spanish Marquis de Villena\, and enslaved him in Algiers. While a captive\, he was taken to Istanbul where\, after attempting and failing to arrange his ransom\, he converted to Islam. Piecing together these Mediterranean episodes from the archives leads to a third story beginning just a year after the capture of Fatima and Pacheco. In 1609\, three Spanish Trinitarian friars were on the brink of departing for Spain with Christians they had redeemed from the Maghrib when the Algerian Governing Council detained them. At first glance\, though they all occurred within a five-year period and in the same geographic area\, these stories do not seem to have much to do with one another. Yet these different Mediterranean trajectories intersected and had strong effects on one another\, whether through their ransom negotiations\, for example\, or in that one captive was taken as revenge for the imprisonment of another. \n\nThis talk explores the entangled experience of Muslim and Christian captives and by extension the connected histories of the Spanish Empire\, Morocco\, and Ottoman Algiers in the 17th-century. It argues that piracy\, captivity\, and redemption shaped the Mediterranean as an integrated region—at the social\, political\, and economic levels. The history that emerges of these stories is both local and Mediterranean. It offers a comprehensive analysis of competing Spanish\, Algerian\, and Moroccan imperial projects intended to shape Mediterranean mobility structures. Simultaneously\, the project reveals the tragic upending of the lives of individuals by these imperial maritime political agendas. Reconstructing the webs that linked captives\, captors\, masters\, kin\, and rulers\, we can see both the political economy of ransom and the processes by which these actors sought to shape it. These multiple cross-maritime interactions do more than counter an image of a declining 17th-century Mediterranean dissolving into nation-states. They force us to rethink early modern Europe and its others and to question how transnational maritime networks shaped seemingly European territorial identities.

These range from platforms that can “go-high\, go-far\, go-fast” and do this on-demand\, to platforms whose planned in-service life and design characteristics are more akin to commodity products like automobiles\, flat-panel TVs\, or domestic appliances like dishwashers or clothes dryers. This talk will enumerate some of the key technical challenges from an air platform designer’s perspective and will detail ongoing efforts within the US Air Force Research Laboratory\, amongst its academic partners\, and by the US aerospace industrial base\, that are vectored towards making these very different capabilities a part of the US Air Force’s fleet in the decades ahead.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nDr. Ravi Chona\, a member of the Senior Scientific & Professional Service of the United States of America\, is the US Air Force Senior Scientist for Structures\, a Department of Defense senior technical leadership position he was recruited to in 2003. In 2005 he established the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Structural Sciences Center and serves as its Director. He is charged with ensuring that the US Air Force possesses the cutting-edge aero-structural solutions essential to fielding revolutionary air and space platforms\, that can\, in turn\, assure the air dominance required by the national security and strategic needs of the United States. Previously\, he was a member of the Mechanical Engineering Faculty (1987-2003) and the Director of the Institute for Innovation and Design in Engineering (1999-2003) at Texas A&M University. He earned his BS\, MS\, and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland\, College Park\, and enjoyed the unique privilege of having as his graduate advisor and mentor\, the late Professor George R.

Over the last few decades\, herculean efforts by researchers have dramatically increased the available data with which we can better understand the structure and the processes that shape evolutionary relationships. However\, despite these advances\, new challenges have emerged. Here\, I describe several projects that aim to better reconstruct a more complete view of the complexity underlying phylogenies. Specifically\, I demonstrate the extensive genome conflict present in virtually all genomic datasets. Furthermore\, despite this conflict\, we can address several fundamental questions about macroevolution. Primarily\, I will focus on the evolution of the plant clade\, Caryophyllales\, that include cacti\, carnivores\, ice plants\, cushion plants\, and other ecologically diverse taxa. I will also describe some of the limits to our ability to reconstruct the phylogenetic past\, despite our enormous efforts.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/E9hhNMm8L1A UID:49666-11487551@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49666 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190220T111151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190314T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190314T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geotechnical Seminar DESCRIPTION:Details TBA.\n\nMr. Roarty is a Senior Vice President in Geotechnical Engineering and Heavy Underground Design at NTH Consultants\, Ltd. in Detroit\, MI.

The production will enjoy its world premiere on Friday\, March 15\, and Saturday\, March 16 at the Power Center Composer Bryce Dessner and librettist Korde Arrington Tuttle will discuss the range of artistic influences that informed Mapplethorpe’s work — and how the production translates the visual medium into an interdisciplinary experience. Thirty years after the death of Mapplethorpe\, we still cannot turn away from what his photos reveal. Mapplethorpe’s work both unites and divides viewers\, provoking a consideration of perceived opposites: black/white\, male/female\, gay/straight\, art/porn\, classical/contemporary. His pictures seduce\, shock\, offend\, excite\, intrigue\, and scare us all at once. Triptych seeks to make theatrical the ways Mapplethorpe’s works compel an audience’s complicity and characterize them in the act of attention.\n\nCo-presented with the University Musical Society (UMS).\n\nImage: Self Portrait\, 1988 © Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation.

The full piece will be premiered in June 2019 in the flooded ruins of Sutro Baths\, an early 20th century outdoor pool complex whose concrete remains are now a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. This \"workshop performance\" in Ann Arbor\, taking place in the lush setting of hte Matthaei Botanical Gardens Conservatory\, will feature one movement of Tremble Staves and will feature members of the U-M Percussion Ensemble.\n\nChacon’s opera connects narratives of the San Francisco Bay Area’s relationship with water to overlapping Navajo creation stories in which water figures prominently. The work will be performed\, from memory\, by the virtuosic musicians of The Living Earth Show\, utilizing amplified antlers\, tape reels\, effected guitars\, and water as a dynamic percussion instrument. With this palette\, Chacon combines electro-acoustic noises\, traditional Navajo music\, field recordings\, and extended techniques rooted in the musical lineage of classical chamber music to craft a vital sonic and visual landscape. \n\nThe opera presents the sacred element of water as a struck\, manipulated\, and amplified instrument–in reverence while simultaneously creating a sonic violence representative of continuing scarcity of this natural resource. The audience joins the performers in the environment\, turning a public space into a sonic ecosystem in which all participants are surrounded by the element discussed and interrogated by the music. The intention is immersion\; the opera immerses a congregation of audience members anchored in a pond of resonance\; communally engaging in the work yet aware of their own complicity in the draining of the water.\n\nEach unique iteration of the piece will last approximately 15 minutes\, starting at 6:00pm\, 6:30pm and 7:30pm\, with an Artist Q&A from 7:00-7:30pm. Attendees are invited to explore the conservatory during and between performances.\n\nThere will be limited seating available on a first come\, first serve basis.

Haidostian Annual Distinguished Lecture: Views of the Ottoman Empire: Discovering the Visual Record in Motion DESCRIPTION:A wave of handsome volumes about photography in the Ottoman Empire has appeared in the past decade\, straddling an uneasy border between nostalgic evocations of a voiceless time just beyond our grasp\, and visual markers guiding us to a more complex reading of a challenging historical epoch. The reproductions of these images are a fairly easy task that enable widespread distribution\, but what of the hours of footage from the same period\, largely sitting uncatalogued in film archives across the globe? Mostly shot by Western cameramen sent by studios such as Lumière\, Pathé\, Urban\, and Edison\, these actualities\, ranging from views of the ruins at Ani to street performers in Constantinople\, panoramas of minarets in Sarajevo to newsreels of Sultan Mehmed V\, are now largely inaccessible and poorly researched. The surviving record for Armenia is particularly problematic\, existing in unidentified fragments recording refugees from the genocide or international inspectors sent to investigate the massacres. “Views of the Ottoman Empire” is a project begun in 2014 by several archivists and independent scholars to identify what moving images remain\, research their history\, distribution and reception\, and screen curated programs in both the countries where they were initially shot and among diasporic communities for whom film provides an emotional connection that is difficult to quantify. This lecture will discuss the identification and reevaluation of these little-seen films\, alongside thoughts regarding their meaning for audiences today.\n\nNew York-born Jay Weissberg lives in Rome and has been a film critic there for Variety since 2003\, traveling to film festivals throughout Europe\, the Middle East and North Africa\, and Latin America. His work on contemporary cinema has appeared in international publications including Sight & Sound and The London Review of Books. He has contributed essays in numerous festival and retrospective catalogues\, with a particular focus on recent Arab and Romanian film. He was appointed director of the Giornate del Cinema Muto/Pordenone Silent Film Festival in 2015\, has written widely about silent film\, and is co-curator of the Ottoman Film Project\, an initiative to identify\, catalog\, and screen films shot in the Ottoman Empire. A frequent participant on festival juries\, he often takes part in panel discussions on the current state of cinema and film criticism\, has been a guest of the Harvard Film Archives/Gulbenkian Foundation’s Cinema Dialogues\, and is a regular moderator of Masterclasses with filmmakers such as Ethan Hawke\, Sally Potter\, Mahmoud Abdel Aziz\, Mia Farrow\, and Gabriel García Bernal. In programs for young film critics in Rotterdam\, Berlin\, Cairo\, Locarno\, Abu Dhabi and Melbourne he has acted as a mentor. His discussion on new Romanian cinema appears as an extra on Criterion’s new Bluray/DVD release of Cristian Mungiu’s 4 Months\, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. \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.

To speak of silence means to speak of a multitude of paradoxes\, as well as to enter an exciting avenue for literature\, activism and interdisciplinary scholarship. Our conference interrogates what it means to plumb silences in the archive in search of unheard voices\, and invites scholars to investigate the meanings of silence as a critical category. In particular\, this conference is interested in mapping – across scholarly and creative disciplines – questions of translating silences in the archive\, in the text\, in the subject\, and in activism. What are the possible ways of translating silence when events and experiences resist such translation? What challenges and possibilities does silence offer translators and scholars\, who are tasked with making meaning of both the enunciated and the unsaid or untranslatable? How can we engage with knowledge that does not yield itself to current academic frameworks? In what ways can a focus on silence help to transform knowledge itself?\n\nProfessor Irena Klepfisz received her doctorate from the University of Chicago in Victorian literature\, and later did post-doctoral work in Yiddish at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. In addition to teaching in numerous universities around the country\, Klepfisz taught for ten years in the college program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility\, a women’s maximum security prison. Last year\, she retired after 22 years of teaching Jewish Women's Studies at Barnard College. Klepfisz immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised among Yiddish-speaking\, Jewish Labor Bundist (socialist) Holocaust survivors in the Bronx\, where she attended public schools\, a Yiddish shule\, and mitlshul. She was an activist during the Second Wave\, particularly in the lesbian/feminist movement\, and addressed issues of anti-Semitism\, Israeli/Palestinian peace\, Jewish identity\, and veltlekhe yidishkayt/secular Yiddish culture. \n\nKlepfisz’s extensive publishing and performance record includes founding and co-editing Conditions magazine\, serving as the Yiddish editor of the Jewish feminist Bridges\, contributing to Nice Jewish Girls: A Lesbian Anthology\, and co-editing The Tribe of Dina: A Jewish Women’s Anthology. She authored two performance pieces commissioned by the Jewish Museum (NY): Bread and Candy: Songs of the Holocaust and Zeyre eygene verter: In their own words (Yiddish women writers). She is the author of A Few Words in the Mother Tongue (poems) and Dreams of an Insomniac (essays)\, and most recently co-edited The Stars Bear Witness: The Jewish Labor Bund 1897-2017 and Koved zeyer ondenk: Honor to Their Memory (for the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising).\n\nSCHEDULE:\n15th March\, Friday \n10 am - 10.30 am Breakfast \n10.30 am -10.45 am Opening remarks \n10.45 am - 12.15 pm \nPanel 1: Justice and Activism\nRespondent: Antoine Traisnel\nPanel Papers:\nMina Khalil: “Presenting the Criminal Defendant in Nineteenth-Century Egypt: the Presumption of Innocence as Silence”\nElisa Corona Aguilar: “Fists up: Orchestrating Silence in Mexico City´s Post- Earthquake Rescuing Activities”\nSeon-Myung Yoo: “The Deafening Silence of Comfort Women Survivors”\n12.15 pm - 1.15 pm Lunch\n1.15 pm - 2.45 pm \nPanel 2: Untranslatability\nRespondent: Maya Barzilai\nPanel Papers:\nCorbin Allardice: “Di Rayze Aheym: Yiddish Heteroglossia as State Critique in Sutzkever’s Gaystike Erd”\nAaron Coleman: “The Role of Literary Translation in Witnessing the African Diaspora: Neglected Legacies of Black USAmerican Poets translating AfroCuban Poets”\nElias Pitegoff: “What Remains\; On the Memorial Addressed to Nothing in Particular”\n2.45 pm - 3 pm Coffee Break\n3 pm - 4.30 pm \nPanel 3: Violence and Witnessing\nRespondent: Tatjana Aleksić\nPanel Papers:\nMartha Henzy: “Real Violence” and Virtual Reality: Jordon Wolfson’s Theater of Cruelty\nNina Jackson Levin: The Worst Loss\, Silenced: Problematizing the Social and Archival Silencing of Grieving Mothers”\nKristina Krasny: “Vertretung and Darstellung in the Poetry of Hester Pulter”\n4.30 pm - 5.30 pm Reception\n5.30 pm - 7 pm\nKeynote- Irena Klepfisz “The 2087th question\, or when silence is the only answer”\n\n16th March\, Saturday:\n9 am - 9.30 am Breakfast \n9.30 am - 11 am \nPanel 4: Sounding Queer Desire\nRespondent: Shira Schwartz\nPanel Papers:\nBenjamin Hollenbach: “Silent Faith: Mainline Protestants\, LGBTQ Inclusion\, and Religious Devotion”\nLars Stoltzfus-Brown: “Why White People Love the Amish: Settler Colonialism\, Violence\, and White Heteronostalgia”\nAmanda Kubic: “‘Neither honey nor the bee for me:’ Silence and Desire in Fragment 113”\n11 am - 11.15 am Coffee Break\n11.15 am - 12.45 pm\nPanel 5: Poetics \nRespondent: Yopie Prins \nPanel Papers:\nLisa Levin: Notes on Notes on Speechlessness\nJasmine An: “‘the model minority disability disability creation’ – a mixed media experiment in digital storytelling”\nSara Deniz Akant: “One Sea Leads to Another: Approaching Memory and the Unsayable in Meena Alexander’s Atmospheric Embroidery”\n12.45 pm - 2 pm Lunch \n2 pm - 3 pm A Reading and Conversation with Irena Klepfisz \n3.15 pm - 4.45 pm \nPanel 6: Silence\, Address\, Redress\nRespondent: Liz Wingrove\nNathaniel Harrington: “Cànan a’ bhreithneachaidh (The language of criticism)”\nLuiza Caetano: Contradiction as strategy: Germaine de Staël’s “Three Novellas”\nGrace Zanotti: “Reading Through the Lacuna: Anne Carson’s Pinplay and Euripides’ Bacchae”\n4.45 pm - 5 pm Closing Remarks\n7.30 pm - 9 pm Student Creative Reading at Literati Bookstore\n\nGrace Zanotti\, Genta Nishku\, Shalmali Jadhav\, Shira Schwartz\, Duygu Ergun\nCLIFF 2019 Conference Organizers\nDepartment of Comparative Literature\nUniversity of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\ncliff.complit@umich.edu UID:58374-14491981@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58374 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Food,Free,Graduate Students,History,Interdisciplinary,Jewish Studies,Lecture,LGBT,Multicultural,symposium,Activism,Anthropology,Books,Classical Studies,Culture,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)

Using Medicare claims data we estimate a model of treatment decisions\, in which physicians are partially altruistic and value both their own compensation and their patients’ health. We then use the recovered parameters of the model in combination with contract theory to derive and simulate optimal linear and nonlinear reimbursement schedules. Physicians differ in their marginal costs of treatment\, and this heterogeneity is unobservable to the govern-ment\, which affects payment policy\, along with physician altruism and the effectiveness of treatment. Comparing outcomes under these optimal contracts against those ob-served under the actual contracts suggests that substantial improvements in payment policy can be achieved within a fee-for-service framework.\n\nPRELIMINARY—PLEASE DO NOT CITE UID:58710-14544815@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58710 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Ross School of Business - R0420 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190227T145015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T170000 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.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908136@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190330T063021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190315T163000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:BlackRock's Find Your Future Forum DESCRIPTION:Apply Now For BlackRock’s Find Your Future Forum!\n\nLearn how to jump start your career at BlackRock’s one-day educational program for college sophomores\n\nWhere & When:\nBlackRock Offices\n• New York: March 15 or 29\n• San Francisco: April 1\n• Atlanta: April 3\n\nApplication Deadline: \nThursday\, February 28 @ 8:00AM EST\n\nEligibility Requirements: \nWe are seeking talented sophomores with strong academic credentials across any major or discipline.

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

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

On filthy nouns and dirty verbs: Translating sex in Tagalog missionary linguistics DESCRIPTION:Some of the oldest specimens of indigenous literacies in the Philippines are found in the linguistic texts written by Catholic missionaries who wanted to talk about Christianity in any of the archipelago’s many tongues. These texts\, the object of the discipline we now refer to as missionary linguistics\, constitute the earliest systematic attempt to reduce these languages into a set of replicable rules. While current research directions generally analyze missionary linguistics as a resource for studying early written forms of non-European languages or for reconstructing the initial stages of linguistics as a scientific pursuit\, I argue that it can similarly be examined as a corpus of translation. This is particularly true for colonial articulations about sex. In this presentation\, I will describe how missionary texts on Tagalog\, the basis of the modern-day national language called Filipino\, commemorated sexual practices in the early modern Philippines through the use of a specific translational repertoire. I will show instances where the juxtaposition of the translational parameters of equivalence\, incommensurability and untranslatability with the moral teachings on human sexuality resulted in peculiar translation strategies for describing indigenous sexualities and inscribing them into a Christianized discourse on civility. \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.

However\, developing matrix completion algorithms for networks requires taking into account the network structure. This talk will discuss three examples of matrix completion used for network tasks. First\, we discuss the use of matrix completion for cross-validation or non-parametric bootstrap on network data\, a long-standing problem in network analysis. Two other examples focus on reconstructing incompletely observed networks\, with structured missingness resulting from network sampling mechanisms. One scenario we consider is egocentric sampling\, where a set of nodes is selected first and then their connections to the entire network are observed. Another scenario focuses on data from surveys\, where people are asked to name a given number of friends. We show that matrix completion can generally be very helpful in solving network problems\, as long as the network structure is taken into account. \n\nThis talk is based on joint work with Elizaveta Levina\, Tianxi Li and Yun-Jhong Wu.

The botched switch to the Flint River from Lake Huron exposed city residents to long-term hazardous levels of lead\, dangerous bacteria\, and other toxins. Officials employed fraudulent testing methods to declare the water safe\, dismissed residents’ mysterious health ailments as anecdotes\, and discounted “citizen scientist” data showing lead levels to exceed safety standards. Only when Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha produced incontrovertible evidence of elevated lead levels in her patients did the state publicly acknowledge a problem. At first\, the struggle over data by officials and “citizen scientists” produced what Dr. Hanna-Attisha called a “loop of white noise” in the news media that confounded public understanding. This would soon change. Drawing on a 2017 focus-group interview with Michigan Radio reporters and editors covering the Crisis\, this lecture considers how and why “data” became a protagonist in the story and how these journalists chose to interrupt the “loop of white noise” with sound data of a different form.

We have assembled graduate students and leading scholars to explore the constellation of borrowing and lending and its expression in a variety of geographies\, fields of practice\, technologies\, institutions\, labor\, and political ideologies. These presentations and discussions will interrogate the fringes and the FIREs (finance\, insurance\, and real estate) of debtor urbanization.

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.

Yet\, past research shows that longer parental leaves can have unintended negative career impacts\, especially for women\, while the effects for men are less well understood. In this talk\, I will present data examining the effect of parental leaves on both women’s and men’s careers. I will first present a set of studies examining effects of longer (one year and above) parental leaves on women’s careers. Given that past research shows that longer parental leaves may unintentionally harm women’s career progress\, while they are also beneficial for the health of mothers and babies\, here we sought to identify the mechanism underlying negative effects of longer (vs. shorter) maternity leaves: undermined perceptions of agency. That is\, to enable mothers to do both\, i.e.\, take longer maternity leaves and advance their careers\, it was important to identify an underlying mechanism and consequently utilize this knowledge to test interventions that boost agency perceptions and mitigate negative effects of longer parental leaves. In a context of Canadian parental leave policies\, we found that undermined perceptions of agency mediated the negative effects of a longer (i.e.\, one year) compared to a shorter (i.e.\, one month) maternity leave on job commitment (Study 1)\; providing information about a woman’s agency mitigates the unintended negative effects of a longer maternity leave (Study 2)\; and the usage of an organizational program that enables women to stay in touch with the workplace while on maternity leaves enhances agency perceptions and mitigates negative consequences (Study 3). Next\, given that true gender equality involves men’s experiences as well\, I will present findings from two studies on the effects of parental leaves on men’s career outcomes. Contrary to the negative effects of parental leaves on women’s careers\, we theorized and found in a sample of undergraduate students (Study 4) and employees (Study 5) that the effects of parental leaves on men’s careers can be positive due to others’ enhanced perceptions of men’s “communality\,” i.e.\, traits generally ascribed to women such as warmth\, friendliness\, and a sensitivity to the needs of others. Implications for theory\, practice\, and gender equality broadly are discussed.

In male humans\, conspicuous consumption—the consumption and display of luxury goods as an ostentatious expression of wealth and status—serves similar functions. Conspicuous consumption in humans has been found to increase sexual selection\, costly signaling of mating qualities\, and the perception of heterosexual men’s mate attraction motives. Because the literature has focused more on the conspicuous consumption of single men\, the function of men’s conspicuous consumption within a committed romantic relationship has been overlooked. Through three studies\, the current research explores the association between heterosexual men’s conspicuous consumption\, self-reported satisfaction of their current committed romantic relationship\, and their female partners’ beliefs and behavioral reactions to this consumption. The current study adds to the previous literature by providing a framework to understand men’s motivation to consume luxury products and women’s response to their conspicuous consumption within a committed romantic relationship.

These include (i) that the aim of inquiry is not to uncover truth but to serve our practical interests\, (ii) that truth is nothing other than that which rational inquiry converges on in the long run\, (iii) that the meaning of a statement is given by its practical consequences\, and (iv) that any inflationary notion of truth or representation should be rejected as philosophically idle. These are all rejected by contemporary realists\, for whom truth plays a central role in a theory of meaning and inquiry. I will argue that a normative assumption widespread amongst contemporary realists in fact leads straight to these four pragmatist theses.

To test this idea\, galaxies and clusters of galaxies serve as cosmic colliders for measuring self-scattering among dark matter particles. Present constraints imply that if self-interactions are to solve the infamous core-cusp problem in dwarf galaxies\, the scattering cross section must fall with energy/velocity to avoid cluster limits. To test this velocity dependence\, I present new constraints on dark matter self-interactions at an intermediate scale with groups of galaxies. I also describe using mock observations from N-body simulations of self-interacting dark matter with baryons as a test of our methods. Lastly\, I describe some recent work toward strongly-coupled theories of self-interacting dark matter\, using tools borrowed from lattice QCD to compute its properties nonperturbatively.

Given these spatial constraints\, it is essential to have the right capability to measure the resultant features at the appropriate fine scale. High resolution topography samples the ground surface at least once per square meter and has decimeter local or preferably global accuracy. Analyses of high resolution topography in the study of active faulting can be divided into 4 classes: fault zone mapping\, reconstructing surface deformation including offset\, investigating geomorphic responses to active deformation\, and differencing of repeat surveys for both fault and ground failure characterization.

By analyzing Hmong women’s narratives against U.S. redacted archival records that erase Hmong and Laos history during the U.S. “secret war\,” the talk explores the politics of knowledge formation which has generated a historiography about the Hmong refugee as a masculinized refugee soldier and a distinct U.S. ally. Taking a feminist refugee approach\, Dr. Vang’s talk will show how Hmong women’s narratives rechronicle the history of war through the patterns of displacement and migration rather than military operations\, which does not succumb to either of the veteran or “good” refugee representations. Hmong women’s narratives’ rechronicling of history foregrounds refugees as knowing subjects whose social production can help us understand the processes of war and militarism\, gender and migration\, and knowledge formation.\n\nBio:\nMa Vang is an Assistant Professor of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at the University of California\, Merced. Her interdisciplinary research on Hmong refugees and the “secret war” advances a refugee critique of secrets\, history\, and knowledge production. Her book manuscript\, History on the Run: Secrets and Hmong Refugee Epistemologies\, examines how secrecy structures both official knowledge and refugee epistemologies about war and migration. She is the co-editor of Claiming Place: On the Agency of Hmong Women(2016)\, and her writings have been published in positions: asia critiqueand MELUS. She has received several awards including the Ford Dissertation Fellowship\, the UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship\, and the UC Multicampus Research grant. She is a founding member of the Critical Refugee Studies Collective and co-editor of the Collective’s website. She is also actively engaged with community organizations such as the Hmongstory 40 Project and the Southeast Asian American Professionals Association.\n\nThere will also be a Graduate Student Workshop in the morning from 11:30am-1pm.

This paper explores how these alignments draw on images of feminism as modernity and menace\, and normative masculinity as bewilderment\, abandonment and alienation\, appropriating the identities of marginalized men and feminized weakness to their advantage. I draw upon my ethnographic fieldwork with Men’s Rights Activists across Indian cities to identify some of the contradictions about gendered and intersectional power within such representations and their connection to MRM movement strategies. I argue that Men’s Rights Activists’ practices of projecting vengeance and claiming vulnerability in legal and political realms are premised upon inversions of discourses of power\, elisions of gender\, caste and class\, and conflations of feminism and the State.\n\nSrimati Basu is Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies and Anthropology\, and a member of the Committee on Social Theory and the Asia Center Affiliates.

This makes them unsuitable in applications that have limited data or require safety or stability guarantees\, such as robotics. By infusing structure and physics into deep-learning algorithms\, we can overcome these limitations. There are several ways to do this. For instance\, we use tensorized neural networks to encode multidimensional data and higher-order correlations. We combine symbolic expressions with numerical data to learn a domain of functions and obtain strong generalization. We combine baseline controllers with learnt residual dynamics to improve landing of quadrotor drones. These instances demonstrate that building structure into ML algorithms can lead to significant gains.\n \nBio: Anima Anandkumar is a Bren professor at Caltech CMS department and a director of machine learning research at NVIDIA.

Professor Phillips is Director of the Maryland Language Science Center and Associate Director of the Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Program. He will present “The Relationship between Speaking and Understanding.\" Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome!\n\nABSTRACT\nThe Relationship between Speaking and Understanding\n\nLanguage comprehension\, language production\, and grammatical analysis are typically pursued relatively independently of one another. We have long been interested in the relation between parsing and grammar\, but have neglected mechanisms for production. If we cannot unify mechanisms for speaking and understanding\, then unifying grammatical computation with either of them is likely fruitless. I will discuss the progress that we have made on understanding these issues.

Kelly\, American Nuclear Society DESCRIPTION:Title: Perspectives on the future of nuclear power in the United States\n\nAbstract: Currently there are dozens of Light Water Reactors (LWRs) under construction around the world. Most experts expect LWR technology to be the primary source of nuclear power well into the latter half of this century. At the same time there continues to be strong interest in moving to more advanced LWR technology (such as Small Modular Reactors) and Generation IV systems. The presentation will provide perspectives on the future of nuclear power in the United States and how the integration of LWR technology and Gen IV technology can lead to sustainable nuclear power.\n\nBio: Dr. John E. Kelly is the President of the American Nuclear Society. He retired from the U.S. Department of Energy at the end of 2017. At DOE\, he was the Chief Technology Officer in the Office of Nuclear Energy. He was responsible for establishing the strategic technical direction for the research\, development\, demonstration\, and deployment portfolios. Prior to assuming the duties of Chief Technology Officer\, he was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Reactor Technologies. He was responsible for the civilian nuclear reactor research and development portfolio\, which included programs on Small Modular Reactors\, Light Water Reactors\, Generation IV reactors\, and Radioisotope Power Systems for space exploration. In the international arena\, he chaired the Generation IV International Forum and the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Standing Advisory Group on Nuclear Energy. Prior to joining the Department of Energy in 2010\, Dr. Kelly spent 30 years at Sandia National Laboratories where he was engaged in a broad spectrum of research programs in nuclear reactor safety\, advanced nuclear energy technology\, and national security. Dr. Kelly received his B.S. degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan in 1976 and his Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980.

His music transcends the confines of genre\, continually challenging the notion that tradition-bearers fail to push musical boundaries. Cleverly striding among numerous forms of traditional American music\, Pokey has crafted a genre all his own\, marked by its accessible ingenuity. Rather than merely conjuring up half-forgotten imagery of days past\, Pokey is a lyrical storyteller\, the plot delivered smoothly through his dynamic vocals. One moment he shouts a line and the next he croons above his archtop guitar. He transmits a rare distillation of old American sounds! Based in St. Louis\, Missouri\, Pokey honors the musical traditions of that town without aping them. He's an Ark favorite\, heard most recently at the 2019 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

This location is the new building that houses the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Museum of Paleontology\; as well as the Natural History Museum.\n\nThis year’s theme is Stable Isotopes in Ecology\, Evolution\, and Conservation. Stable isotopes of common and trace elements have a wide range of applications in modern and ancient ecosystems. They offer important tools for investigating plant and animal physiology\, dietary ecology\, life history\, food-web analysis\, nutrient cycling\, migration\, and paleoecology\, with new isotope systems\, new approaches\, and new kinds of questions emerging in every decade. Our speakers in the 2019 symposium have expertise in terrestrial and marine systems\, modern and ancient ecosystems\, and animals\, plants\, and microbes. The symposium will feature topics for a broad range of interests in ecology\, evolution\, earth history\, and conservation.\n\nWe are pleased to announce our lineup of speakers\, including our keynote speakers: Jim Ehleringer (plant physiology and ecology)\, University of Utah\, and Tamsin O’Connell (diet and climate in humans and animals)\, Cambridge University. You can read more about all of the speakers under the speaker tab on the ECSS website.\n\nGraduate and undergraduate students and postdocs from all universities and disciplines are invited to present their work during a lunchtime poster session\, and can indicate so when they register.

To speak of silence means to speak of a multitude of paradoxes\, as well as to enter an exciting avenue for literature\, activism and interdisciplinary scholarship. Our conference interrogates what it means to plumb silences in the archive in search of unheard voices\, and invites scholars to investigate the meanings of silence as a critical category. In particular\, this conference is interested in mapping – across scholarly and creative disciplines – questions of translating silences in the archive\, in the text\, in the subject\, and in activism. What are the possible ways of translating silence when events and experiences resist such translation? What challenges and possibilities does silence offer translators and scholars\, who are tasked with making meaning of both the enunciated and the unsaid or untranslatable? How can we engage with knowledge that does not yield itself to current academic frameworks? In what ways can a focus on silence help to transform knowledge itself?\n\nProfessor Irena Klepfisz received her doctorate from the University of Chicago in Victorian literature\, and later did post-doctoral work in Yiddish at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. In addition to teaching in numerous universities around the country\, Klepfisz taught for ten years in the college program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility\, a women’s maximum security prison. Last year\, she retired after 22 years of teaching Jewish Women's Studies at Barnard College. Klepfisz immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised among Yiddish-speaking\, Jewish Labor Bundist (socialist) Holocaust survivors in the Bronx\, where she attended public schools\, a Yiddish shule\, and mitlshul. She was an activist during the Second Wave\, particularly in the lesbian/feminist movement\, and addressed issues of anti-Semitism\, Israeli/Palestinian peace\, Jewish identity\, and veltlekhe yidishkayt/secular Yiddish culture. \n\nKlepfisz’s extensive publishing and performance record includes founding and co-editing Conditions magazine\, serving as the Yiddish editor of the Jewish feminist Bridges\, contributing to Nice Jewish Girls: A Lesbian Anthology\, and co-editing The Tribe of Dina: A Jewish Women’s Anthology. She authored two performance pieces commissioned by the Jewish Museum (NY): Bread and Candy: Songs of the Holocaust and Zeyre eygene verter: In their own words (Yiddish women writers). She is the author of A Few Words in the Mother Tongue (poems) and Dreams of an Insomniac (essays)\, and most recently co-edited The Stars Bear Witness: The Jewish Labor Bund 1897-2017 and Koved zeyer ondenk: Honor to Their Memory (for the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising).\n\nSCHEDULE:\n15th March\, Friday \n10 am - 10.30 am Breakfast \n10.30 am -10.45 am Opening remarks \n10.45 am - 12.15 pm \nPanel 1: Justice and Activism\nRespondent: Antoine Traisnel\nPanel Papers:\nMina Khalil: “Presenting the Criminal Defendant in Nineteenth-Century Egypt: the Presumption of Innocence as Silence”\nElisa Corona Aguilar: “Fists up: Orchestrating Silence in Mexico City´s Post- Earthquake Rescuing Activities”\nSeon-Myung Yoo: “The Deafening Silence of Comfort Women Survivors”\n12.15 pm - 1.15 pm Lunch\n1.15 pm - 2.45 pm \nPanel 2: Untranslatability\nRespondent: Maya Barzilai\nPanel Papers:\nCorbin Allardice: “Di Rayze Aheym: Yiddish Heteroglossia as State Critique in Sutzkever’s Gaystike Erd”\nAaron Coleman: “The Role of Literary Translation in Witnessing the African Diaspora: Neglected Legacies of Black USAmerican Poets translating AfroCuban Poets”\nElias Pitegoff: “What Remains\; On the Memorial Addressed to Nothing in Particular”\n2.45 pm - 3 pm Coffee Break\n3 pm - 4.30 pm \nPanel 3: Violence and Witnessing\nRespondent: Tatjana Aleksić\nPanel Papers:\nMartha Henzy: “Real Violence” and Virtual Reality: Jordon Wolfson’s Theater of Cruelty\nNina Jackson Levin: The Worst Loss\, Silenced: Problematizing the Social and Archival Silencing of Grieving Mothers”\nKristina Krasny: “Vertretung and Darstellung in the Poetry of Hester Pulter”\n4.30 pm - 5.30 pm Reception\n5.30 pm - 7 pm\nKeynote- Irena Klepfisz “The 2087th question\, or when silence is the only answer”\n\n16th March\, Saturday:\n9 am - 9.30 am Breakfast \n9.30 am - 11 am \nPanel 4: Sounding Queer Desire\nRespondent: Shira Schwartz\nPanel Papers:\nBenjamin Hollenbach: “Silent Faith: Mainline Protestants\, LGBTQ Inclusion\, and Religious Devotion”\nLars Stoltzfus-Brown: “Why White People Love the Amish: Settler Colonialism\, Violence\, and White Heteronostalgia”\nAmanda Kubic: “‘Neither honey nor the bee for me:’ Silence and Desire in Fragment 113”\n11 am - 11.15 am Coffee Break\n11.15 am - 12.45 pm\nPanel 5: Poetics \nRespondent: Yopie Prins \nPanel Papers:\nLisa Levin: Notes on Notes on Speechlessness\nJasmine An: “‘the model minority disability disability creation’ – a mixed media experiment in digital storytelling”\nSara Deniz Akant: “One Sea Leads to Another: Approaching Memory and the Unsayable in Meena Alexander’s Atmospheric Embroidery”\n12.45 pm - 2 pm Lunch \n2 pm - 3 pm A Reading and Conversation with Irena Klepfisz \n3.15 pm - 4.45 pm \nPanel 6: Silence\, Address\, Redress\nRespondent: Liz Wingrove\nNathaniel Harrington: “Cànan a’ bhreithneachaidh (The language of criticism)”\nLuiza Caetano: Contradiction as strategy: Germaine de Staël’s “Three Novellas”\nGrace Zanotti: “Reading Through the Lacuna: Anne Carson’s Pinplay and Euripides’ Bacchae”\n4.45 pm - 5 pm Closing Remarks\n7.30 pm - 9 pm Student Creative Reading at Literati Bookstore\n\nGrace Zanotti\, Genta Nishku\, Shalmali Jadhav\, Shira Schwartz\, Duygu Ergun\nCLIFF 2019 Conference Organizers\nDepartment of Comparative Literature\nUniversity of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\ncliff.complit@umich.edu UID:58374-14491982@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58374 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Food,Free,Graduate Students,History,Interdisciplinary,Jewish Studies,Lecture,LGBT,Multicultural,symposium,Activism,Anthropology,Books,Classical Studies,Culture,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908137@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190204T084236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190316T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190316T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Saturday Morning Physics | Rare Events in the Short Happy Lives of Muons and Kaons DESCRIPTION:As our understanding of the building blocks of matter and how they interact has increased\, particle physicists have turned their attention to finding processes not known in the Standard Model.

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

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Every day since the fall of 1982\, volunteers have gathered there to serve a free meal to anyone in need\, sometimes as many as 165 each day. Many guests are homeless. Others are working but struggling to make ends meet. Everyone is welcome. All concert profits will be used to purchase\, food supplies and offset expenses\, such as cleaning\, heating and maintenance.\n\nRolling Stone magazine calls Marty Stuart one of the top country music artists of all time: “A musician’s musician\, Stuart logged more than a decade as a sideman for the titans of twang – including Johnny Cash\, Doc Watson and Lester Flatt – before launching his solo career...building his fanbase not only on the strength of his voice\, but his hotshot guitar playing\, too.”\n\nNPR praised his latest album “Way Out West\,” calling it a “journey through the Joshua trees\, shadowy canyons and desert drams that tantalize travelers with the promise of a golden shore on the other side.”\n\nOpening for Marty Stuart is Bloodshot Records artist Luke Winslow-King. A Cadillac\, Mich.\, native steeped in the musical cauldron of New Orleans\, Winslow-King is adept at mixing country\, blues\, R&B\, rock ‘n’ roll and folk intuitively and masterfully. He shapes a mood from many sources and shepherds it to a unifying place of acceptance and hope. \n\nThe emcee for the evening is Lisa Tucker-Gray\, the rector of Toledo’s Trinity Episcopal Church\, an accomplished singer and the daughter of the Rev. Svea Gray\, who was director of the Breakfast Program for more than 30 years. She will also perform with multi-instrumentalist Curt Waugh\n\nAcoustic Routes Concerts has produced nine benefit concerts for the Breakfast Program at The Ark since 2010\, with cumulative profits closing in on $100\,000.\n\n“The Breakfast started as way to help people get through a deep recession more than 30 years ago\, but the need never went away\,” said Jim Cain of Saline\, founder of Acoustic Routes Concerts. “It’s staggering how many people don’t have enough to eat day in and day out.”\n\nAnn Arbor-based food rescue agency Food Gatherers said hunger is a pervasive problem in Washtenaw County. More than one in seven people lack access\, at times\, to enough food for an active\, healthy life.\n\n“Some of the Breakfast volunteers have been there since the program’s earliest days. For others\, it’s their first community service experience\,” Cain added. “Volunteering creates a unique bond and I can’t thank Marty\, Luke\, Lisa and our sponsors enough for supporting our work.” UID:55107-13687205@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55107 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
