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:Activism,Anthropology,Books,Classical Studies,Culture,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Food,Free,Graduate Students,History,Interdisciplinary,Jewish Studies,Lecture,LGBT,Multicultural,symposium 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Light refreshments will be provided.\n\nIn 1969\, Ann and Ken Mikolowski set up a 1904 letterpress in their home and began The Alternative Press\, an experimental press publishing work by artists and writers from Detroit's Cass Corridor\, alongside key voices from the Beat and Black Mountain schools of poetry. Their unusual mailings included bookmarks\, broadsides\, bumper stickers\, and postcards\, including a unique project where artists were set loose with 500 blank postcards to turn into one-of-a-kind pieces. The exhibit presents work produced by the press\, from early free poems to the final issue of the mailings\, as well as correspondence and drafts that provide unique insight into the process of producing these artworks. All materials are from The Alternative Press Records held in the Special Collections Research Center.

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.

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:Activism,Anthropology,Books,Classical Studies,Culture,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Food,Free,Graduate Students,History,Interdisciplinary,Jewish Studies,Lecture,LGBT,Multicultural,symposium 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. 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:59301-14728315@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:20181218T082018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190316T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190316T151500 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Korean Cinema NOW | After My Death / 죄많은 소녀 DESCRIPTION:2017 | 131 Minutes | Euiseok Kim \n \nFree | Open to the public | In Korean with English subtitles \n \n\"A high school girl dies one night and the next day the police descend on her school to investigate.

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.

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 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190317T120010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Conference Series vs. Western Michigan DESCRIPTION:Conference series at Western Michigan University UID:61995-15328478@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61995 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Western Michigan University CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180228T170156 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T235900 SUMMARY:Other:Extended Application Deadline for Select IPE Summer Study Abroad Programs DESCRIPTION:Applications for the extended deadline of IPE Summer study abroad programs are due tonight at midnight! \n\nFor program information and to apply: https://ipe.engin.umich.edu/ipe-summer-programs-extended-deadline/ UID:50539-15215053@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/50539 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Deadlines,Engineering,International,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:Chrysler Center - 245 Chrysler CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190317T120011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Louisville Bike Race DESCRIPTION:Louisville Bike Race UID:58728-15328480@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58728 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Louisville CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190317T180022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:NCWA national tournament DESCRIPTION:NCWA national tournament in Allen\, TX UID:57705-15330670@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57705 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Allen Event Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190317T120011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Oak Creek Invite DESCRIPTION:   UID:60380-15328483@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60380 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Smith River Sports Complex CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190317T180022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Southern New England Team Race DESCRIPTION:An interconference team race regatta at Connecticut College.

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:60543-14908138@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:20190221T121546 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190317T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:2019 MFA Thesis Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The MFA Thesis exhibition will bring together culminating projects by second-year graduate students: Masimba Hwati\, Laura Magnusson\, Bridget Quinn\, Rowan Renee\, and Mayela Rodriguez.

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.

One traces the development of contemporary Inuit art in the Canadian Arctic from the 1950s to the present. The other relates the fascinating story of the Power family’s important role in supporting and promoting Inuit art from the outset\, bringing public attention to its artistic strength and cultural importance. The Power family’s collection is unusual in its strong representation of early contemporary carvings\, incised drawings on ivory and antler\, soapstone sculptures\, and prints that evolved as Inuit artists developed their own artistic voices and responded creatively to their changing world. \n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

However\, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has neuroprotective effects that may reduce the need for downregulation of the axis in response to stress. Furthermore\, high DHEA/cortisol ratios are often conceptualized as reflecting a protective profile due to high availability of DHEA. In this study we explored if DHEA and DHEA/cortisol ratios moderated the association between early trauma and the cortisol response.\n\nMETHODS: The sample consisted of 80 adolescents (aged 12-16) who completed the Child Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and the Trier Social Stress Test. Cortisol was modeled using saliva samples at seven timepoints after the start of the TSST. Cortisol and DHEA ratios were examined at baseline and 35 minutes post-stress initiation.\n\nRESULTS: Early trauma was associated with lower activation slope and peak levels but DHEA moderated this effect. Specifically\, at high levels of DHEA\, the impact of CTQ on cortisol peak levels was no longer significant. High DHEA/cortisol ratios were associated with an intensification of the impact of CTQ on peak levels. \n\nCONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that DHEA can limit blunting of the HPA axis in response to early trauma. However\, this protective effect was not reflected in high DHEA/cortisol ratios. Instead\, high ratios were associated with a greater effect of early trauma. Therefore\, high DHEA and high DHEA/cortisol ratios may reflect\ndifferent\, and often opposite\, processes. Our findings indicate that DHEA/cortisol ratios do not necessarily reflect a protective neuroendocrine profile.

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:60543-14908139@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:20190207T080405 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Center for Research on Learning (CRLT) DESCRIPTION:Whitney Peoples of the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching will be leading a faculty workshop on whiteness in the classroom.

A more novel perspective views adolescence as a stage optimized for exploration\, including of new motivations and emerging identities in ways that foster both autonomy and connectedness. While the dominant neurodevelopmental approaches have relied on dual-systems and imbalance models to explain adolescent behavior\, I will argue that motivated behavior during adolescence can be modeled by a general value-based decision-making process centered around value accumulation in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). Interestingly\, neuroimaging studies of self-related processes demonstrate enhanced engagement of the vmPFC in adolescence\, which may both facilitate and reflect the development of identity by integrating the value of potential actions and choices. This approach advances models of adolescent neurodevelopment that focus on reward sensitivity and cognitive control by considering more diverse value inputs\, including contributions of developing social processes related to self and identity. It also considers adolescent decision making and behavior from adolescents' point of view rather than adults' perspectives on what adolescents should value or how they should behave.

DESCRIPTION:According to the latest IPCC report\, the world must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions drastically if it is to keep global warming below 1.5 °C. Economists generally agree that the most efficient way to reduce such emissions is to put a price on the carbon content of fossil fuels\, either by taxing carbon or through cap and trade systems. In his book\, Can We Price Carbon?\, UM Public Policy Professor Barry Rabe analyses the history of successes and failures of previous carbon pricing schemes\, and shows that despite the political difficulties\, carbon pricing can be workable. We will discuss his book over three sessions and then meet with Prof. Rabe at a fourth for updates and further discussion. \n\nThese sessions for those 50 and above will be led by Instructor Craig Stephan\, a retired physicist who has led several OLLI study groups including two on the science of climate change. The Study Group will meet on Mondays from 1-3 p.m. and run from March 18 through April 8.

The inherent advantages of these devices\, including the electrodeless design and the potential to be propellant-agnostic\, coupled with the potential to efficiently accelerate the propellant makes low-power magnetic nozzles attractive propulsion options for small satellites. A theoretical model was developed to predict low-power magnetic nozzle performance and identify fundamental differences in operation between these devices and their higher power counterparts. \n\nAn experiment was designed to inform the theoretical model to provide insight into the fundamental plasma dynamics within a low-power magnetic nozzle. This test article consisted of a reconfigurable inductively-coupled plasma source and an electromagnet. Electrostatic probes and laser induced fluorescence are used to measure the plasma properties throughout the plume. By coupling the experimental results with the theoretical framework two novel effects that reduce device performance are identified: $1$) neutral-collisional effects impedes ion acceleration and $2$) non-uniform power deposition degrades source and divergence efficiency. These effects arise from the low input power and the thruster design parameters. Experimental characterization of a reconfigured test article demonstrates that performance can be recovered by accounting for these two effects when designing the thruster and selecting the operating parameters.

Different Pathways\, Common Destination? Public Policy and Institutional Changes in Greece\, Italy\, Portugal\, and Spain during and after the Economic Crisis DESCRIPTION:While Greece\, Italy\, Portugal and Spain slid into economic crisis in the 2010 for different reasons and at different time points and have already started overcoming the crises in a varied manner\, there was visible policy convergence among the four countries. There were similar policy responses regarding fiscal\, macroeconomic\, incomes\, welfare and labor relations’ issues. Moreover\, despite the fact that the four countries had followed different paths to government reform and administrative modernization before the crisis\, they eventually converged towards similar policy responses regarding government organization and public administration. The observed convergence may be interpreted through external constraints imposed by Europe and international organizations and creditors and through the adoption of public management ideas\, which prevailed in international and domestic policy networks. Policy shifts were not evenly implemented across the four countries for reasons related to historical legacies of state-society relations and variations in political party systems. Such legacies may also help explain why Greece remained a reform laggard compared to the rest of South European countries.\n\nDimitri A.

Or perhaps less because of an additional wedge that distorts labor effort? Do concerns about inequality have implications for antitrust\, regulation\, trade\, and other policies that influence market power\, which contributes to inequality? This article addresses such questions using a model with heterogeneous abilities\, markups\, multiple sectors\, ownership that is a function of income\, allowance for any share of profits to be recoveries of investments (including rent-seeking efforts)\, and a nonlinear income tax. In this model\, proportional markups with no profit dissipation have no effect on the economy\, and a policy that reduces a nonproportional markup raises (lowers) welfare when it is higher (lower) than a weighted average of other markups. With proportional (partial or full) profit dissipation\, proportional markups are equivalent to a downward shift of the distribution of abilities\, and the welfare effect of correcting nonproportional markups associated with nonproportional profit dissipation now depends also on the degree of dissipation and how that is affected by the policy. In all cases\, optimal policies maximize consumer plus producer surplus\, without regard to a policy’s distributive effects on consumers and profits or how markups and income taxation distort labor effort.

Just in Time: The Chronopolitics of the Queue DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the politics of time as they play out through various problems of the queue—the organizational science and logistics of waiting lines. Drawing on ethnographic analysis of civility campaigns and customs inspection reform in contemporary China\, I will show how the queue offers insight into shared concerns about “quality control” over the flows of both global supply chains and the movement of populations. These concerns link the market metrics of timeliness as configured by the dominant global production model of JIT or Just-in-Time with social questions of expedience and justice in the other sense of being \"just\" in time. These entangled issues converge in what I will explain as a politics of tempo--that is\, as a question of pace and rhythm--in contradistinction to the conventional emphasis on \"speed\" or \"space-time compression\" in the analysis of global temporalities.\n\nBiosketch: Julie Y. Chu is a sociocultural anthropologist with interests in mobility and migration\, economy and value\, ritual life\, material culture\, media and technology\, and state regulatory regimes. Her book\, Cosmologies of Credit: Transnational Mobility and the Politics of Destination in China (Duke University Press\, 2010)\, received the 2011 Sharon Stephens Prize from the American Ethnological Society and the 2012 Clifford Geertz Prize from the Society for the Anthropology of Religion. Her current writing project is entitled The Hinge of Time: Infrastructure and Chronopolitics at China's Global Edge. Based on three years of fieldwork largely among Chinese customs inspectors and transnational migrant couriers\, this work will analyze various infrastructures in place (legal-rational\, financial\, cosmic\, piratical) for managing the temporal intensities and rhythms of people and things on the move between Southern China and the United States. A graduate of NYU’s Program in Culture and Media\, she is also currently completing video projects related to her fieldwork as well as developing a new ethnographic focus on Chinese soundscapes\, especially in relation to the changing qualities and valuations of the Chinese concept of renao (热闹\, a bustling scene\, social liveliness or\, literally\, “heat and noise”).

We have discovered the first two RNA demethylases\, FTO and ALKBH5\, which catalyze oxidative demethylation of the most prevalent modifications of mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA) and other nuclear RNA\, N6-methyladenosine (m6A). These findings indicate that reversible RNA modification could impact biological regulation analogous to the well-known reversible DNA and histone chemical modifications. We have also characterized proteins that selectively recognize m6A-modified mRNA and affect the translation status and lifetime of the target mRNA\, as well as molecular machines that deposit the m6A methylation on mRNA. Functional studies reveal m6A methylation as a critical mechanism to synchronize groups of transcripts for coordinated metabolism\, translation\, and decay\, allowing timely and coordinated protein synthesis and transcriptome switching during cell differentiation and development. Misregulations of these processes lead to embryo lethality and human diseases such as cancer. I will also present recent studies on developing chemical platforms for proximity capture in probing DNA-DNA proximity. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nChuan He (University of Chicago) UID:53789-13461546@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53789 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chemistry 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190222T144723 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:UK Scholarships DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Henry Dyson and Engineering Honors on Monday\, March 18th from 4-5 pm in 133 Chrysler Building.For more information: https://lsa.umich.edu/onsf/scholarships/united-kingdom.html UID:61537-15126014@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61537 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Honors,International,Onsf,Scholarships LOCATION:Chrysler Center - 133 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190228T140831 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190318T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Beyond Salary: The Nuance of Negotiation DESCRIPTION:Join the Hub to learn how to approach negotiation with confidence!

The dumpster-folk\, thriftstore-Americana duo\, consisting of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler\, have been circulating around the country in their 16’ camper since 2015. They picked up a couple of actual strays along the way—two 100-lb. dogs\, Puddle & Magpie Mae—and have been making themselves at home in living rooms\, bars\, theaters\, and festivals across the country. The Rough & Tumble are collectors ... a new kind of collector: songwriting with illustration\, and arranging each song with a menagerie of instruments\, ranging from acoustic guitars to mailbox snares to a banjulele.\n\nThe Lucky Nows play dynamic\, high-energy Americana folk-rock with echoes of Isbell and Isakov and a bluesy center. Their music draws from every genre\, delivering a wide range of lyric-driven originals with intricate arrangements and gorgeous harmonies. If Steve Earle had a love-child with Lucinda Williams\, and that child was raised by Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault\, and frequently visited by Shovels & Rope and the ghost of Townes Van Zandt\, their debut CD would sound eerily similar to The Lucky Nows' \"Rise.\" The Lucky Nows feature Detroiter Jen Cass on vocals.

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.

The loss of these functions can have devastating implications on the quality of one’s life\, interfering with activities of daily living related to walking\, bladder and bowel control\, trunk stability\, and arm and hand function. Current approaches used to help improve and restore mobility require residual movement to control\, which can be unintuitive and inoperative by individuals with higher level cervical injuries. In order to develop technology used by individuals of all levels of injury\, it is necessary to generate control signals directly from the brain. This thesis is intended to address the clinical limitations of implantable neural recording systems\, and thus lay the foundation for the development of a design and safety profile for a fully implantable intracortical system for motor restoration.\n\nWe first present the design and testing of a 96-channel neural recording device used to mate with an existing functional electrical stimulation (FES) system in order to facilitate brain-controlled FES. By extracting signal power within a narrow frequency bandwidth and reducing overhead processer operations\, a 25% power reduction is achieved. This establishes the feasibility for an implantable system and enables the integration of the neural recording device with implantable FES system. The specifications of this platform can be used as a guide to develop further application specific modules and dramatically accelerate the overall process to a clinically viable system.\n\nWith a functional device\, the next step is to move towards a clinical trial. Here we investigate the potential safety risks of future modular\, implantable neuroprosthetic systems. A systematic review of 240 articles was used to identify and quantitatively summarize the hardware-related complications of the most established intracranial clinical system\, deep brain stimulation\, and the most widespread experimental human intracranial system\, the NeuroPort\, including the Utah microelectrode array. The safety and longevity data collected here will be used to better inform future device and clinical trial design and satisfy regulatory requirements.\n\nThe stability and longevity of the Utah array are critical factors for determining whether the clinical benefit outweighs the risk for potential users. We investigate the biological adverse response to the insertion of the Utah array in a rhesus macaque. We examined the health and density of neurons around the shanks of the array in comparison to control brain. Non-human primate animal models allow us to further examine the effects of the implantation of the Utah array on neural tissue\, which cannot be done with humans. Information gained through this will continue to increase the pool of safety data for the Utah array and emerging intracranial devices.\n\nOverall\, we developed a neural recording device to be used for brain-controlled FES and examined the potential safety concerns reported in the human literature and experimentally using non-human primates. These results represent significant progress towards a clinically-viable system for motor restoration in people suffering from spinal cord injury.\n\nChair: Cindy Chestek UID:62024-15276098@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62024 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 10 - G065 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190315T162002 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhD Defense: Crystal Green DESCRIPTION:Title: Automated Deformable Mapping Methods to Relate Corresponding Lesions in 3D X-ray and 3D Ultrasound Breast Images\n\nCo-Chair: Prof. Mitchell Goodsitt\nCo-Chair: Prof. Alex Bielajew UID:62197-15311072@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62197 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dissertation,Energy,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences LOCATION:Lurie Robert 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:60543-14908140@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:20190319T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with CPS faculty Christopher Fariss DESCRIPTION:Dr. Fariss is excited to host a weekly Tuesday morning hackerspace from February 12 until April 23. Dr. Fariss uses computational methods and the statistical program R to study why governments around the world torture\, maim\, and kill individuals within their jurisdiction\, and the processes monitors use to observe and document these abuses. Other research projects cover a broad array of themes but share a focus on computationally intensive methods\, research design\, and the analysis of data at a massive scale. \n\nThis weekly meeting with Dr. Fariss is for those with an interest in the R statistical programming language. Both beginners and experienced users are invited to attend. Dr. Fariss plans to introduce mostly introductory material during these sessions but will also cover Bayesian modeling in R and STAN.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

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.

A part of authentic leadership is committing to a purpose that helps us to deepen our impact. Your purpose springs from your identity and is the essence of who you are. To figure out who you are in such a world\, let alone “be nobody but yourself\,” is indeed hard work. This workshop will help you uncover what your ultimate purpose is and learn how to commit to it in times of uncertainty.

Research takes too long and costs too much\, and opportunities to engage the participation and contribution by patients and families are not yet common. What if we could create a better care system by harnessing inherent motivation and collective intelligence of patients\, clinicians and researchers? In every part of our lives\, networks are having a profound effect. How could networked organizations accelerate progress towards Learning Health Systems? This talk will describe how several large-scale learning health system networks are eliminating the artificial barriers between clinical care\, improvement and research while engaging all stakeholders as part of a single health system.

How has the role or impact of poetry changed? What’s most vital in a poet’s education? How can we rethink and reclaim publishing? How we can bridge the divides between different schools of poetry? How can we reconcile the ivory tower and the community center? What can poetry do in our communities? What good books are we reading (songs are we singing\, art are we seeing)? What do we love? How can we brave joy?\n\nAbout the presenters:\n\nMentored by poet Langston Hughes\, Naomi Long Madgett moved to Detroit in 1946. In the 1960s\, she joined a group of African American writers who met regularly at Boone House\, including Margaret Danner\, Dudley Randall and Oliver LaGrone. Madgett was named Detroit poet laureate in 2001. In her poetry\, influenced by the work of Emily Dickinson\, John Keats\, and Langston Hughes\, Madgett often engages themes of civil rights and African American spirituality. She is the author of numerous collections of poetry\, including One and the Many (1956)\, Exits and Entrances (1978)\, and Octavia and Other Poems (1988\, reissued and expanded in 2002). In 1972\, Madgett founded Lotus Press. She edited the anthology Adam of Ifé: Black Women in Praise of Black Men (1992)\, and her own work was included in the anthologies The Poetry of the Negro\, 1746–1949 (1949\, edited by Langston Hughes) and Ten: Anthology of Detroit Poets (1968\, edited by Oliver LaGrone). A selection of her papers\, documenting her poetry career and the history of Lotus Press\, is held by the University of Michigan’s Special Collections Library.\n\nGabrielle Civil is a black feminist performance artist\, originally from Detroit\, MI. She has premiered fifty original solo and collaborative performance works around the world. Signature themes included race\, body\, art\, politics\, grief\, and desire. Since 2014\, she has been performing “Say My Name” (an action for 270 abducted Nigerian girls)” as an act of embodied remembering. She is the author of Swallow the Fish and Tourist Art (with Vladimir Cybil Charlier). She currently teaches Creative Writing and Critical Studies at the California Institute of the Arts. The aim of her work is to open up space.Experiments in Joy is forthcoming from CCM Press.

These future possibilities present new challenges in aircraft design and optimization that cannot be fully understood through computational methods alone. Just as analytical solutions from thin airfoil theory\, lifting-line theory\, slender body theory\, and others formed the foundation of aircraft design methods in the past century\, similar solutions must be obtained to fully understand relationships between morphing aircraft parameters and aircraft performance. This is increasingly important as the number of design variables and geometries increase with increasing morphing capability. Example methods and solutions will be presented that demonstrate how such analytical solutions can be obtained and employed in the design of future morphing aircraft.\n\n \n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nDoug Hunsaker is an assistant professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Utah State University. Before joining the faculty in 2016\, he worked for 4 years in industry\, including work for Scaled Composites on the Stratolaunch and SpaceShipTwo programs\, as well as consulting for multiple drone companies. Doug’s research focus is on analytical and low-fidelity methods for aircraft design and optimization\, with an emphasis on subsonic and supersonic morphing aircraft. He currently has grants with the Air Force Research Lab\, Office of Naval Research\, and NASA to develop and explore relationships of morphing parameters to aircraft performance and control. Doug also has a strong interest in bio-inspired flight.

On the one hand\, most historians (and biologists) today do not believe that biological race exists. On the other hand\, they do not doubt that racial concepts played powerful roles in some (but not all!) periods in the past. How can we tell when a concept we encounter in the past is “racial”? And what do the racial concepts of one period in the past have to do with those of another? Can we speak of “the origins of race” in any particular period or place? These are the questions addressed in this talk\, which focuses on times and places in which conversion from Judaism to Christianity or Islam has produced the idea that religious characteristics are biologically reproduced.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

The lecture previews Shah's larger upcoming book project\, Refusal to Eat\, which investigates the tenacious practice of hunger strikes as it grew as a potent transnational idiom of 20th and 21st century political defiance. Following his earlier work\, Stranger Intimacy\, Shah examines these practices through the lenses of intimacy\, affect and the material cultures of bodily defiance.\n\nBio: \nNayan Shah is Professor of History and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. His research examines historical struggles over bodies\, space\, and the exercise of state power from the mid-19th to the 21st century. Shah is the author of two award-winning books -- Stranger Intimacy: Contesting Race\, Sexuality and the Law in the North American West (2011) and Contagious Divides: Epidemics and Race in San Francisco’s Chinatown (2001). \n\nShah's new project\, Refusal to Eat\, explores the transnational history of mass hunger strikes\, and political struggle and medical ethical crises through 20th century and contemporary case studies drawn from U.S. and British suffrage activists\, Irish Republicans\, Bengali Revolutionaries\, Japanese American Internees\, South African anti-apartheid activists\, Guantanamo prisoners\, and refugees in Australia\, the United States\, and Europe. \n\nGraduate Student lunch also available in afternoon.

Nitrogen-centered radical applications remain underexplored due to the lack of convenient methods for their generation. Recent advances have improved access to nitrogen-centered radicals through photoredox-mediated oxidation of two such directing groups: amides and sulfonamides. Guided by this approach\, we hypothesized that alcohols\, masked as sulfamate esters\, and amines\, masked as sulfamides\, could engage in photoredox-mediated oxidation to furnish nitrogen-centered radicals that could guide C–H functionalization reactions. \nMoreover\, our directed technology has been inspired by one of the most reliable and powerful known reactions to guide C–H functionalization reactions: the Hofmann–Löffler–Freytag (HLF) reaction\, which uses amines or amides as directing groups. Like many of the most robust radical-mediated technologies to direct the activation of tertiary and secondary centers\, the HLF reaction is guided through 1\,5-hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) processes\, which proceeds through a kinetically-favorable six-membered ring transition state. By contrast\, few reports describe 1\,6-HAT with a traceless linker\, such as an alcohol masked as a sulfamate ester or an amine masked as a sulfamide\, and there are no general strategies to enable masked alcohols or amines to direct functionalization of aliphatic ?-C(sp3)–H centers. This talk will outline this novel strategy to harness alcohols and amines to replace C–H bonds at ?-C(sp3)–H centers\, which are not generally accessible to directed functionalization. We will demonstrate that C–H abstraction can be robustly coupled with varied functionalization reactions. This talk will highlight one of the first generalizable synthetic strategies to functionalize ?-C(sp3)–H bonds based on masked alcohols or amines\, to push the boundaries of organic chemistry at a fundamental level and benefits drug discovery.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJennifer Roizen (Duke University) UID:51507-12126782@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/51507 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190319T181621 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190319T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | \"Spintronic\" Quantum Transport\, Chemistry and Interferometry in an atomic BEC DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will describe our experiments studying spin-dependent quantum transport\, chemistry and interferometry in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of ultracold (87Rb) atoms subject to optically-generated “synthetic” spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We demonstrate spin-resolved atomic beam splitters and two-pathway interferometers based on tunable Landau-Zener transitions in the energy-momentum space (synthetic band structures generated by the SOC as well as Floquet-engineering) [1]. We also demonstrate a new approach of quantum control of (photo) chemical reactions (photoassociation of molecules from atoms) --- a “quantum chemistry interferometry” --- by preparing reactants in (spin) quantum superposition states and interfering multiple reaction pathways [2]. By performing a “quantum quench” in a SOC BEC\, we induce head-on collisions between two spinor BECs and study spin transport and how it is affected by SOC\, revealing rich phenomena arising from the interplay between quantum interference and many-body interactions [3]. Time permitting\, I may discuss our recent realization of a (bosonic) topological state with band crossings protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry [4]\, by creating a “synthetic” cylinder with combined physical and synthetic dimensions and also a synthetic radial magnetic flux\, where the BEC acquires an emergent crystalline order and exhibits quantum transport (Bloch oscillations) mimicking motion on a Mobius strip in energy-momentum space (band structure). Our experimental system can be a rich playground to study physics of interests to AMO physics\, quantum chemistry\, condensed matter physics\, and even high energy physics.\n\nRefs:\n[1] A.

The Truth about Lies in International Relations: Reflections on the Media in Russia and Beyond DESCRIPTION:Lots of countries lie. \n\nSome call it “winning hearts and minds\,” others call it “strategic communications\,” still others call it “softening the battlefield.” However it’s described\, propaganda is a key component of international relations\, a tool employed both by diplomats and warriors. Russia has used propaganda since the 1917 Russian Revolution both to mold the minds of its own citizens and to spread the gospel of Marxism-Leninism around the world. Today’s Russia uses a well-honed media strategy to craft public opinion at home—and to promote the country’s public image abroad.\n\nBut the Kremlin also uses propaganda—now turbo-charged by digital advances like artificial intelligence\, machine learning and big-data analytics—as a tool of war\, a less-costly form of conflict than shedding blood\, to undermine and weaken foes.\n\nJill Dougherty\, former CNN Moscow Bureau Chief\, examines how Russia uses information\, and disinformation\, to achieve its strategic objectives.\n\nJill Dougherty served as CNN correspondent for three decades\, reporting from more than 50 countries. She is a Global Fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington\, D.C. and a CNN Contributor who provides expert commentary on Russia and the post-Soviet region. Ms. Dougherty joined CNN in 1983\, and was appointed Moscow Bureau Chief in 1997. During nearly a decade in that post\, she covered the presidencies of Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin\, Russia's post-Soviet economic transition\, terrorist attacks\, the conflict in Chechnya\, Georgia's Rose Revolution and Ukraine's Orange Revolution. After a long career with CNN\, Ms. Dougherty pursued academic interests\, most recently as a Distinguished Visiting Practitioner at the University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Policy and Governance. An alumna of the University of Michigan\, she has a B.A. in Slavic languages and literature\, a certificate of language study from Leningrad State University\, and a master’s degree from Georgetown University. In addition to writing for CNN.com\, her articles on international issues have appeared in the “Washington Post\,” \"Huffington Post\,” and “The Atlantic\,” among other publications. Jill Dougherty is also a member of track-two diplomatic initiatives seeking to improve the U.S.-Russia relationship. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Professors will also discuss what they want from student writers in their courses\, and will take questions put forth by students and by other members of the University community.

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.

DVT and its complications affect 900\,000 people in the U.S. each year\, with one third of cases resulting in fatality. Anticoagulants (the standard treatment) pose serious bleeding risks and rely on the patient’s fibrinolytic system to break up the thrombus\, which is often incapable of doing so thus leading to post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in almost 50% of patients. Removing the DVT completely via thrombolytic treatments may improve quality of life by reducing PTS. However\, thrombolysis is only effective on acute thrombi. Impaired success with thrombolytic treatment is due to heterogeneity in the thrombus (old clot\, which is unable to be broken up\, intermixed with fresh clot\, which can easily be broken up). This problem is largely overlooked based on an inability to determine thrombus composition.\n\nCurrently\, the only method for determining disease stage is the patient’s recollection of when their symptoms began\, which is inherently unreliable and could put the patient at risk. Further\, thrombi of the same chronological age may organize at different rates in different people. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to provide information about thrombus composition (clot age)\, and thus inform patient-specific treatment planning.\n\nSince there are several limitations to studying DVT in humans\, animal models are key tools for understanding the disease. Mouse models are the most commonly used\, providing a unique biological environment to study disease progression and treatment. Any model requires rigorous characterization and standardization to ensure reproducibility between studies. Our first objective was to quantify structural and functional changes in the healthy venous system of young and aged mice of both sexes\, at rest and under conditions which simulate exercise. Second\, we assessed the endogenous response to two models of DVT mimicking the two possible clinical scenarios: total or partial occlusion.\n\nFollowing the necessary model characterization\, we developed a multiparametric MRI approach to probe thrombus composition without the need for contrast agents. Our results show imaging correlation with known composition by histology. This method provides a novel approach to study thrombus composition\, and could eventually be used clinically to provide patient-specific treatment planning for DVT.\n\nAdditionally\, we investigated the impact of exercise\, an emerging therapeutic option\, on thrombus composition. Using an in-cage running wheel\, our results show that spontaneous exercise – both alone and in combination with standard treatment – reduces initial thrombus size and contributes to thrombus resolution. We found that exercise increases acute fibrin content\, attenuates local inflammation\, and decreases sub-chronic collagen content in pharmacologically treated mice.\n\nThis work provides 1) the first in vivo characterization of the murine venous system in health and disease\, 2) a foundational methodology to determine thrombus composition by MRI\, and 3) insights on the impact of exercise on DVT. This research can help DVT investigators from the animal model perspective\, and provides a step forward in characterizing thrombus composition for patient-specific DVT treatment planning.\n\nCo-Chairs: Joan Greve and Jose Diaz UID:62019-15276094@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62019 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - East Conference Rm. 4th Fl.

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:60543-14908141@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:20190320T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190320T113000 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.

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 estimated relationship can be further utilized for predicting new observations. Obtaining reliable prediction outcomes is a challenging task. When building a regression model\, several difficulties such as high dimensionality in predictors\, non-linearity of the associations and the unreliable results caused by outliers could deteriorate the results. Furthermore\, the prediction error increases if the newly acquired data might not be processed carefully. In this dissertation\, we aim at improving prediction performance by enhancing the model robustness at the training stage and duly handling the query data at the testing stage. We propose two methods to build robust models. One focuses on adopting a parsimonious model to limit the number of parameters and a refinement technique to enhance model robustness. We design the procedure to be carried out on parallel systems and further extend their abilities of handling complex and large-scale datasets. The other method restricts the parameter space to avoid the singularity issue and takes up the trimming techniques to limit the influence of outlying observations. We build both approaches by using the mixture-modeling principle to accommodating data heterogeneity without uncontrollably increasing model complexity. Both methods show their abilities to improve prediction performance\, compared to existing approaches\, in applications such as magnetic resonance vascular fingerprinting and source separation in single-channel polyphonic music\, among others. To evaluate model robustness\, we develop an efficient approach to generating adversarial samples\, which could induce large prediction errors yet are difficult to detect visually. Finally\, we propose a preprocessing system to detect and repair different kinds of abnormal testing samples for prediction efficacy\, when testing samples are either corrupted or adversarially perturbed.

State Street\, Ann Arbor 48109-3091\n11:30am-12:50pm (pizza lunch provided)\nFree and open to the public\n\nAbout the Lecture:\nWe use longitudinal administrative tax data from Washington DC to study how Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) expansions undertaken by the Washington DC affect income and inequality in the city. We find that federal and DC EITC credit expansions between 2001 and 2009 are associated with recipient pre-tax earnings growth of roughly 3-4 percent\, primarily among single mothers. Together these credits reduce post-tax inequality for the 10th percentile relative to median household\, however\, composition changes in the city and growing overall inequality mitigates this inequality decrease towards the end of the period. Overall\, these results complement existing research that shows the EITC has a positive effect on labor market outcomes and household well-being.\n \nProfessor Hardy is an Associate Professor of Public Administration and Policy and nonresident senior fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution. Currently\, he is on leave from AU as a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation. He also serves as a visiting scholar with the Center for Household Financial Stability at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. His research interests lie within labor economics\, with an emphasis on economic instability\, intergenerational mobility\, poverty policy\, and socio-economic outcomes. He examines trends and sources of income volatility and intergenerational mobility within the United States\, with a focus on socio-economically disadvantaged families\, and also conducts research on the role of anti-poverty transfer programs such as SNAP food stamps and the earned income tax credit for improving economic well-being among low income individuals and families. Before joining American\, he served as a research fellow at the University of Kentucky Center for Poverty Research. Prior to his doctoral studies\, Hardy helped provide analyses of U.S. budget\, tax\, and income support policies as a researcher at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington\, DC.

In this talk\, I study the sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays (PTA) to transiting compact dark matter objects\, focusing on primordial black holes and subhalos. Such dark matter clumps can result in different classes of signals observable in pulsar timing experiments depending on the mass of the object. I will classify the types of signals\, where they are most important\, and the different search strategies resulting in possible constraints over a huge mass range\, 10^−12 to 100 solar masses. Crucially\, PTAs offer the opportunity to probe much less dense objects than lensing experiments due to the large effective radius over which such objects can be observed with a single pulsar. We project the reach possible with current and future pulsar timing experiments\, with sensitivity to a dark matter sub-component reaching the sub-percent level over significant parts of this range with future detectors.

I will classify the types of signals\, where they are most important\, and the different search strategies resulting in possible constraints over a huge mass range\, 10^−12 to 100 solar masses. Crucially\, PTAs offer the opportunity to probe much less dense objects than lensing experiments due to the large effective radius over which such objects can be observed with a single pulsar. We project the reach possible with current and future pulsar timing experiments\, with sensitivity to a dark matter sub-component reaching the sub-percent level over significant parts of this range with future detectors.

A particularly remarkable animal behavior is shelter construction. This behavior requires external and internal cues to trigger and coordinate behaviors over multiple timescales to effectively construct something that may take hours to build. An excellent example of this is spider orb-weaving. It involves coordinating many sub-behaviors to successfully construct the web. In essence\, the structure of the web is a record of the underlying behavioral structure. It is a stereotyped\, but not necessarily reflexive\, behavior that requires multiple decisions be made based on a variety of external and internal cues. The goal of our research is to objectively define this behavior at a high spatiotemporal resolution\, and then investigate the neuronal and genetic factors that influence how this behavior is encoded in the brain.

Across culture\, algorithms have been unleashed to allocate complex systems into manageable portions. They mete out standardization and suppress idiosyncrasy across diverse and defiant populations of human and nonhuman objects\, in ways that are socially\, technically\, and conceptually reductive. This lecture brings together examples of Behar’s videos\, interactive installations\, sculptures\, and performances\, alongside episodes from media history and popular culture to explore this core notion of being “digitally divided.”\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nKatherine Behar is an artist and critical theorist of new media whose work explores gender and labor in digital culture. In contexts spanning automated labor\, mandated obsolescence\, big data\, and machine learning\, Behar applies object-oriented feminism into practice in her art and writing. Her work connects feminist and antiracist post-colonial histories with a wave of new theories that grapple with the nonhuman object world. Katherine Behar's works have appeared throughout North America and Europe. Pera Museum in Istanbul presented a comprehensive survey exhibition and catalog\, Katherine Behar: Data's Entry | Veri Girişi\, in 2016. Additional solo exhibitions include Katherine Behar: Anonymous Autonomous (2018)\, Katherine Behar: E-Waste (2014\, catalog/traveling)\, and numerous others collaborating as \"Disorientalism.\" Behar is the editor of Object-Oriented Feminism\, coeditor of And Another Thing: Nonanthropocentrism and Art\, and author of Bigger than You: Big Data and Obesity.

We present a reference-free method to compare single cells both within and across species. In this method\, k-mers from each cell’s RNA-seq profile are randomly subsampled into a compressed representation called a “sketch” using document comparison algorithms of MinHash or HyperLogLog. For within-species comparison\, the RNA sketches are sufficient\, but as protein sequence is more stable across species\, we translate the RNA k-mers into protein k-mers with 6-frame translation\, discarding all protein k-mers containing stop codons. We show this method can “lift over” single-cell RNA-seq annotations from mouse to human and compare to using purely 1:1 mapping orthologous genes. Thus\, k-mer sketches are an efficient method to find shared and unique cell types both within and across species without need for a reference genome or transcriptome.\n\nRefreshments: 3:30 pm to 4:00 pm in Atrium Hall\, 4th Floor of Palmer Commons\nLecture: 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm in Forum Hall\, 4th Floor of Palmer Commons UID:62260-15337499@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62260 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Lecture,Medicine,Research,Science,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190314T093254 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190320T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190320T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:High Energy Density Physics Experiments at Imperial College – Megaamps and Megabars DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The last 2 decades have seen an explosion in high energy density physics research\, spurred on by the development of national facilities such as NIF and Z. Despite their relative small size\, universities have played a leading role in this research – both with ‘in house’ experiments and through joint work on larger facilities. In this talk I will describe some of our research at Imperial College including how we have pioneered the use of plasmas ablating from wire array z-pinches to create astrophysical relevant experiments and explore radiative shock waves\; how we are using pulsed power driven wire explosions to create highly convergent shock waves for equation of state measurements\; and how we utilize new X-ray diagnostics to explore materials in situ - whilst having fun with a shoe boxed sized pulser on a synchrotron.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Simon Bland is a senior lecturer at Imperial College London\, leading efforts to produce materials in extremes of pressure\, temperature and density through short bursts of electrical energy. His group runs a 2 million ampere cutting-edge pulsed power facility – MACH- dedicated to isentropic compression and convergent shock waves\, whilst also developing and using novel diagnostic techniques. Prior to establishing his own research program\, Dr. Bland worked on the MAGPIE facility exploring wire array z-pinches for fusion and laboratory astrophysics. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 papers\, and greatly enjoys working with a team of under-graduates and graduates in his research.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

Systems that feature pixelated\, large- volume CdZnTe detectors provide a viable option for gamma-ray spectrometers owing to their portability\, room-temperature operation\, imaging capabilities and high-performance energy resolution. Despite recent advances in data acquisition technology\, CdZnTe detector systems fail to achieve comparable energy resolution to the industry-leading performance provided by high-purity germanium detectors. This limits the utility of CdZnTe systems in gamma-ray spectroscopy\, as the confidence intervals of analyses pertinent to nuclear safeguards depend heavily on energy resolution.\n\nIn order to address this deficiency in CdZnTe detector technology\, a fundamentally new approach for calibrating energy is proposed. Conventional calibration methods for position-sensitive semiconductor detectors rely heavily on theoretical models. Despite years of extensive study on charge transport properties in position-sensitive semiconductor detectors\, the underlying models introduce systematic error in the energy reconstruction process. Under the proposed framework\, predictive models are constructed via principal component analysis in an attempt to reduce the reliance on theoretical models and human intuition.\n\nThis work provides a practitioner's account of how one can leverage information extracted by principal component analysis to improve energy resolution for position-sensitive semiconductor detectors. This methodology is adapted to address unique challenges presented by a variety of events observed in position-sensitive detectors. For the detectors used in this work\, single-pixel\, two- pixel and three-pixel event energy resolution at 662 keV improve by approximately 10\% relative to the leading alternative. The proposed calibration procedure is generalized to accommodate event reconstruction for gamma-rays in the entire dynamic range.\n\nEnergy calibration via principal component analysis is intended to provide a practical alternative to conventional techniques. Calibration requirements and computational time are monitored closely to ensure that the application of the proposed technique does not become overly burdensome. Calibration measurements based on principal component analysis require no more time or data than conventional methods. The processing time per detection event is significantly reduced compared to computationally-intensive alternatives under this framework\, enabling the processing speed necessary for a wide variety of nuclear safeguards applications.

Two classes of waves are known: pulled\, driven by the leading edge\, and pushed\, driven by the bulk of the wave. Recently\, we examined how demographic fluctuations change as the density-dependence of growth or dispersal dynamics is tuned to transition from pulled to pushed waves. We found three regimes with the variance of the fluctuations decreasing inversely with the population size\, as a power law\, or logarithmically. These scalings reflect distinct genealogical structures of the expanding population\, which change from the Kingman coalescent in pushed waves to the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent in pulled waves. The genealogies and the scaling exponents are model-independent and are fully determined by the ratio of the wave velocity to the geometric mean of dispersal and growth rates at the leading edge. Our theory predicts that positive density dependence in growth or dispersal could dramatically alter evolution in expanding populations even when its contribution to the expansion velocity is small. On a technical side\, our work highlights potential pitfalls in the commonly-used method to approximate stochastic dynamics and shows how to avoid them.\n\n UID:62045-15278272@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62045 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181107T125646 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190320T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190320T173000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Department Meeting DESCRIPTION:contact amyarger@umich.edu for more details.

Not content with watching World War I silently from the sidelines\, a large number of Armenian volunteers joined the Légion d'Orient. They were trained in Cyprus and fought courageously in Palestine alongside Allied commander General Allenby\, eventually playing a crucial role in defeating the German and Ottoman forces in Palestine at the Battle of Arara in September 1918. The Armenian legionnaires signed up on the understanding that they would be fighting in Syria and Turkey\, and\, should the Allies be successful\, they would be part of an occupying army in their old homelands\, laying the foundation for a self-governing Armenian state.\n\nSusan Pattie describes the motivations and dreams of the Armenian Legionnaires and their ultimate betrayal as the French and the British shifted their priorities\, leaving their ancestral homelands to the emerging Republic of Turkey. Complete with eyewitness accounts\, letters and photographs\, this book provides an insight into relations between the Great Powers through the lens of a small\, vulnerable people caught in a war that was not their own\, but which had already destroyed their known world.\n\nCopies of \"The Armenian Legionnaires\" will be available for purchase (cash only) at the event.\n\nSusan Pattie\, former Director of the Armenian Institute in London is currently leader of the Pilot Project of the Armenian Diaspora Survey\, funded by the Gulbenkian Foundation.

DESCRIPTION:The recipe for career success used to be clear: get into the best college you can\, study something practical\, take a job with a name-brand corporation\, work your way up the career ladder\, and retire to Boca with a company pension and health plan. \n\nBut with the corporate world dis-integrating\, careers turned into jobs and now jobs are turning into gigs. What are the opportunities and hazards for leaders in this new world of work? Does everyone have to learn Python and SQL\, or can you get by on great soft skills? \nThis talk has all the answers.\n\nJerry Davis is the Associate Dean for Business+Impact at Michigan Ross\, Gilbert and Ruth Whitaker Professor of Business Administration\, and Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan. He received his PhD from the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. He has published widely in management\, sociology\, and finance. \n\nDavis’s research is broadly concerned with the effects of finance on society. Recent writings examine how ideas about corporate social responsibility have evolved to meet changes in the structures and geographic footprint of multinational corporations\; whether \"shareholder capitalism\" is still a viable model for economic development\; how income inequality in an economy is related to corporate size and structure\; why theories about organizations do (or do not) progress\; how architecture shapes social networks and innovation in organizations\; why stock markets spread to some countries and not others\; and whether there exist viable organizational alternatives to shareholder-owned corporations in the United States.\n\nThe Barger Leadership Institute (BLI) is a student-powered\, faculty-guided community dedicated to developing student leadership learning and practice.

By studying the various verbal and visual constructions of the Prophet’s character and persona over the course of more than one thousand years\, Gruber seeks to correct public misconceptions and restore to Islam its rich artistic heritage\, illuminating the critical role Muhammad has played in Muslim constructions of self and community at different times and in various cultural contexts.\n\nThe Praiseworthy One is an exploration of the Prophet Muhammad’s significance in Muslim life and thought from the beginning of Islam to today. It pays particular attention to procedures of narration\, veneration\, and sacralization. Gruber stresses that a fruitful approach to extant textual and visual materials is one that emphasizes the harnessing of Muhammad’s persona as a larger metaphor to explain both past and present historical events\, to build and delineate a sense of community\, and to help individuals conceive of and communicate with the realm of the sacred. The Praiseworthy One shows that Muhammad has served as a polyvalent symbol rather than a historical figure with fixed significance.

Hart\, leading public opinion expert and pollster\, takes a fun and interactive look at the latest polling trends\, while sharing insights about key changes\, demographic information\, and top issues the country needs to know. In this period of rapid-fire change\, Hart puts it all in context in an eye-opening look at polling\, politics and public policy.\n\nAs to the 2020 election\, Hart candidly warns against the predictive value of polls taken this far ahead of any presidential election. At this stage\, so long before voters actually vote\, according to Hart\, poll numbers are “written in wet sand at the ocean’s edge.” \n\nMr. Hart goes on to say “There is an old — and true — axiom that holds that in politics\, a week is a lifetime and a month can be an eternity ... History humbles us to admit that we really do have no idea who will be the presidential nominees\, let alone the winner\, in 2020.”\n\nHart\, the respected pollster who has perfected his trade through his work in the past 15 presidential campaigns\, is sometimes called the dean of this generation of pollsters. He has covered election night news since 1964\, and has set the “gold standard” of public polling.

Histotripsy systems are\, traditionally\, transmit-only systems incapable of receiving ultrasound. For guidance\, an ultrasound imaging probe is placed in the center of a histotripsy array. On B-mode ultrasound imaging\, the region of tissue destruction appears as a hypoechoic zone after a substantial amount of treatment has occurred. However\, this level of histotripsy feedback is insufficient for several reasons. First\, histotripsy treatments occur in a 3D space\, yet B-mode imaging is 2D. While 3D ultrasound imaging exists\, the large footprint of 3D probes would occupy a substantial portion of the acoustic window for therapy. Second\, histotripsy-treated lesions only appear hypoechoic on B-mode after a substantial amount of treatment has occurred resulting in poor sensitivity. Developing receive-capable histotripsy arrays would enable a multitude of feedback mechanisms. The overall objective of this dissertation is to develop receive-capable histotripsy systems and new feedback mechanisms enabled by this technology that improve histotripsy treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.\n\nIn the first part of this dissertation\, the technical details associated with the development of receive-capable histotripsy systems are discussed. First\, the challenges of designing highly-parallelized data acquisition systems that are capable of operating over a high dynamic range are outlined and solutions are proposed. Next\, the various stages of prototypes that were developed are explored. Finally\, two fully-functional receive-capable histotripsy systems are described in detail: a retrofit system that can enable receive-capability for any existing histotripsy system\, and a new histotripsy system that incorporates receiver electronics in with high-voltage drivers. \n\nIn the second part of this dissertation\, several feedback methods for monitoring the extent and progression of histotripsy treatment are discussed. In particular\, a new feedback method is investigated\, which uses the cavitation collapse time to monitor tissue damage. Upon initiation of a histotripsy bubble cloud\, a series of shockwaves are emitted during its initial expansion. Once the bubble cloud expands to a maximum radius\, it begins to collapse inward on itself\, and\, during the final stage of collapse\, another shockwave is released. Using a receive-capable histotripsy array\, these shockwaves can be acquired thus allowing for a measurement of the overall lifespan of the bubble cloud. This acoustic measurement is optically validated using a high-speed camera. It was found that this lifespan\, defined by the cavitation collapse time\, correlates directly with the extent of histotripsy treatment. Ex vivo bovine liver samples were treated\, and it was found that the change in collapse time directly correlates with hepatocyte destruction.\n\nIn the final part of this dissertation\, a receive-capable histotripsy system was used to implement acoustic aberration correction. Natural heterogeneities of tissue can result in upwards of 10% variation of sound speed throughout the acoustic path of propagation for histotripsy. These sound speed variations result in acoustic aberrations that significantly defocus histotripsy pulses through phase aberration and result in lowered focal pressure and treatment efficacy in vivo. By using a receive-capable histotripsy system to acquire the expansion shockwave construct from the initial expansion of the histotripsy bubble cloud\, time reversal acoustics was implemented to correct for these acoustic aberrations and refocus subsequent histotripsy pulses.

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:60543-14908142@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:20190221T121546 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:2019 MFA Thesis Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The MFA Thesis exhibition will bring together culminating projects by second-year graduate students: Masimba Hwati\, Laura Magnusson\, Bridget Quinn\, Rowan Renee\, and Mayela Rodriguez.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nUric acid (UA)\, the final metabolic breakdown of purine nucleotides in the primates including humans\, presents a paradox that may best be understood as an evolutionary mismatch. Whereas it is known as a substantial risk for gout and cardiovascular malfunctioning\, it also serves as a major agent that de-oxidizes the brain. We may therefore hypothesize that UA increases when vigorous actions including culturally sanctioned behaviors are carried out. Through this effect\, UA may facilitate such behaviors\, leading to psychological and social benefits. These benefits of UA may\, in turn\, could override its cost in the health domains. In this talk\, I will outline this hypothesis\, and provide initial evidence for it with data from Japanese adults.

Previously\, NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory confirmed this issue from a 3-km model (HRRR – High-Resolution Rapid Refresh) for short-range forecasting including sub-grid-scale cloud representation up to 30-60-km medium-range and subseasonal global model (using FV3-GFS)\, all testing a common suite of scale-aware physical parameterizations. Some progress has been made in 2018 to substantially reduce cloud deficiency and excessive downward solar radiation at least over land areas\, especially for short-range prediction for which related model and assimilation changes are critical for forecast applications to energy\, aviation\, and severe weather. The process of investigating a wide range of potential deficiencies in a numerical weather prediction system will be described.

Senesky\, Assistant Professor\, Stanford University\n\nGallium nitride (GaN) nanoelectronics have operated at temperatures as high as 1000°C making it a viable platform for robust space-grade (“tiny-but-tough”) electronics and nano-satellites. In addition\, there has been a tremendous amount of research and industrial investment in GaN as it is positioned to replace silicon in the billion-dollar (USD) power electronics industry\, as well as the post-Moore microelectronics universe. Furthermore\, the 2014 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded for pioneering research in GaN that led to the realization of the energy-efficient blue light-emitting diode (LED). Even with these major technological breakthroughs\, we have just begun the “GaN revolution.” New communities are adopting this nanoelectronic platform for a multitude of emerging device applications including the following: sensing\, energy harvesting\, actuation\, and communication. In this talk\, we will review and discuss the benefits of GaN’s two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) over silicon’s p-n junction for space exploration applications (e.g.\, radiation-hardened\, temperature-tolerant Venus probes). In addition\, we will discuss recent results that advance this nanoelectronic device platform for extreme-environment Internet-of-things (IoT) systems for combustion and down-hole monitoring. \n\nShort Bio:\nProf. Debbie G. Senesky is an Assistant Professor at Stanford University in the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department and by courtesy\, the Electrical Engineering Department.

However\, political motives may distort the allocation of governmental resources. Combining proprietary data on Ebola cases\, novel surveys\, and publicly available data on the government’s relief effort and post-outbreak Senatorial election\, I study the response of the Liberian government to the 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak\, and the subsequent effects on citizens’ voting behavior and political perceptions. First\, I provide evidence of limited governmental response before the arrival of foreign aid\, in contrast to improved assistance after aid was provided. I then build a spatio-temporal epidemiological model to estimate the ex-ante optimal allocation of relief effort\, and I find that the government misallocates resources towards politically swing villages affected by the contagion. Voters in turn react to the differential response: the incumbent party loses political support in areas hit in the first part of the epidemic\, while it does not lose votes in areas hit in the second part and in swing villages.

Both spaces played a central role in each country’s socio-economic modernization in the 1900s-1920s. Both spaces of this shared transformation were abandoned in the 1960s through urbanization\, deindustrialization\, suburbanization\, white flight\, and urban renewal. With the progressive passing of lived memories\, archaeology must make increasingly important contributions in reconstructing the immigrant lifeworld of a century ago. By placing all of its archaeological resources into the idealized Classical period\, the Greek diaspora has not yet fully embraced its own archaeological potential as a vehicle of self-understanding. The lecture presents recent fieldwork in the Greek towns of Philadelphia\, Lancaster\, and Harrisburg and in the villages of the Peloponnese\, Phocis and Epeiros. It calls for a transnational perspective that provides comparative tools through which to address forced migration today.\n\nKostis Kourelis is an architectural historian who specializes in the archaeology of the Mediterranean from the medieval to the modern periods. He also investigates how medieval material culture has shaped modern notions of identity\, space and aesthetics particularly during the 1930s. His recent fieldwork has focused on the archaeology of the contemporary world\, labor\, housing\, and immigration. In Greece\, he directs archaeological surveys of deserted villages and refugee camps\; in the U.S.\, he directs projects on Philadelphia’s Greek town\, North Dakota’s man camps and Japanese internment camps.

Calls to punish people living with HIV—mostly stigmatized minorities—began before doctors had even settled on a name for the disease. Punishing Disease looks at how HIV was transformed from sickness to badness under the criminal law and investigates the consequences of inflicting penalties on people living with disease. Now that the door to criminalizing sickness is open\, what other ailments will follow? With moves in state legislatures to extend HIV-specific criminal laws to include diseases such as hepatitis and meningitis\, the question is more than academic.\n\nTrevor Hoppe research analyzes the social control of sex by institutions of medicine\, law\, and public health. His recently published book\, Punishing Disease: HIV and the Criminalization of Sickness (University of California Press) analyzes the rise of punitive and coercive responses to HIV\; Punishing Disease was awarded the 2018 Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ Studies.

Burns\, University of Ottawa DESCRIPTION:This paper examines the dynamic integration of words\, music\, and images in the extreme metal performance video of Dark Tranquillity’s ‘Uniformity’\, directed by Patric Ullaeus. Adopting a multimodal approach to the analysis\, I study the corporeal\, temporal\, and spatial dimensions across the three artistic domains of word\, music\, and image. The analytic framework responds to scholarly writings on multimodality from a range of perspectives. As the video spectator-listener engages with the interpretation of embodied subjectivity and cultural meaning in this video\, a number of questions can be posed about the multimodal expression: how does the performance video present physical bodies and materials\; how do these bodies move within space and time\; how do the elements of structure and design shape the performance\; how are the expressive strategies of the performers captured\; and what discursive values drive the artistic representations? \n\nLori Burns is professor of music at the University of Ottawa. Her work on popular music has been published in leading journals\, edited collections\, and in monograph form. Notable publications include Disruptive Divas: Feminism\, Identity and Popular Music (Routledge Press\, 2002)\, The Pop Palimpsest: Intertextuality and Recorded Popular Music (uMichigan Press\, 2019)\, co-edited with Serge Lacasse\, and the forthcoming Bloomsbury Handbook to Popular Music Video Analysis\, co-edited with Stan Hawkins. She is co-editor of the Ashgate Popular Music and Folk Series and her recent research project on genre in popular music video was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (2013-2018).

His staging of Don Giovanni was cast\, costumed\, and presented to resemble a blaxploitation film\; his production of George Frideric Handel’s Orlando was set in outer space\; and his staging of Mozart’s Così Fan Tutte was set in a Cape Cod diner. His “post-racial” production of Othello\, starring John Ortiz in the title role and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Iago\, showed at New York City’s Public Theater to critical acclaim and larger cultural conversations about “blind casting.” Public programs surrounding his 2006 Lincoln Center production of Mozart’s unfinished opera Zaide focused on slavery past and present\, as well as an exploration of Mozart’s abolitionist perspectives. Sellars is the recipient of the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize and a professor at UCLA\, where he teaches art as social action and art as moral action.\n\nPresented in partnership with the Prison Creative Arts Program at U-M and the University Musical Society (UMS).

RAPID-Kosova is the first intensive\, systematic survey ever conducted in the Balkan Republic of Kosova\, and aims to document settlement and settlement change through time. During June of 2018\, we ran three survey teams in three zones covering 15.4 square kilometers in 1\,510 tracts. The 15 new sites we identified and the 3\,521 pieces of pottery we collected and analyzed indicate significant occupations in the region in all periods of the past. Perhaps the most important discovery was a large Bronze Age settlement\, called Pepaj\, located on the foot slopes below the Gradina hill fort near the village of Lubozhdë. Such “flat” Bronze Age sites are rare in the Balkans. Most late prehistoric sites are located on eroded hilltops with little remaining stratigraphy. Pepaj thus presents the opportunity to investigate an intact late prehistoric village of the type that must certainly have been in contact with villages in northern Albania. Ultimately\, we hope to gauge the importance of such contacts to the formation of complex societies in Kosova\, including as a result of trade with Greece and\, later\, Rome.\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society. \nTo learn more about the MAS\, please visit http://www.miarch.org/ \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible.
