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. Using this method\, over 20% of lost pressure due to phase aberration is recovered\, and the histotripsy system power required to induce cavitation was reduced by approximately 31.5%. \n\nChair: Zhen Xu UID:62025-15276099@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62025 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

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.

Audiences have gone to the movies to laugh since Thomas Edison first invented the motion picture. What is it about comedy that people want to be together to share the experience? How did comedy evolve from the silent era to “talkies” and what are the challenges facing theatrical comedy for the future?\n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Humor\, Comedy\, and Laughter in Everyday Life and Beyond. The next lecture will be March 28\, 2019. The subject is: Sounds Funny: Humor and American Music.

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. 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.

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. In addition\, she is the Principal Investigator of the EXtreme Environment Microsystems Laboratory (XLab).

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.

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. He is Associate Professor of Art History at Franklin & Marshall College.\n\nPublications include Houses of the Morea: Vernacular Architecture of the Northwest Peloponnesos (1205-1955)\, The Archaeology of Xenitia: Greek Immigration and Material Culture\, Punk Archaeology\, “Byzantium and the Avant-Garde: Excavations at Corinth\, 1920s-1930s\,” “‘If Space Remotely Matters: Camped in Greece’s Contingent Countryside\,” and “North Dakota Man Camp Project: The Archaeology of Home in Bakken Oil Fields.” UID:60069-14814837@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60069 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:European,History,immigration,International LOCATION:Angell Hall - 2175 Angell - Classics Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190319T075800 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geophysical imaging of bedrock weathering profiles: A case study in the Nepal Himalayas DESCRIPTION:This seminar will include two shorter presentations\; Mr. William Medwedeff will talk on “Geophysical imaging of bedrock weathering profiles: A case study in the Nepal Himalayas\,” and Mr. Logan Knoper will give a presentation on “A temporal perspective on monsoon landslides in the Himalayas through high-resolution satellite imagery.

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. He is also the co-editor of the recently published collection\, The War on Sex (co-edited with David Halperin with Duke University Press)\, which analyzes the punitive social control of sex (and was a finalist for the 2018 Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ Studies). In addition to these book projects\, Hoppe is also researching and publishing on the growth and impact of American sex offender registries\, particularly the use of “sexually violent predator” statutes that allow for the civil confinement of sex offenders beyond their court-ordered sentence.\n\nHe earned his PhD in Sociology and Women’s Studies from the University of Michigan in 2014 UID:57791-14306150@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57791 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:LGBT LOCATION:Lane Hall - 2239 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T123020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190321T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Just getting started building a resume?

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.

The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

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:60543-14908143@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:20180920T153701 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190322T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190322T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M Structure Seminar DESCRIPTION:Meredith Purchal\, Graduate Student\, Markos Koutmos Lab UID:55760-13777531@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55760 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190221T121546 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190322T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190322T170000 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.

Examples include GM’s OnStar® tele-service system\, the InSite® telemonitoring system from GE\, smart home appliances and various personalized remote structural or health monitoring systems. The unprecedented data availability in such connected systems provides significant opportunities for smart data analytics but\, at the same time\, it reveals critical challenges. First\, the high dimensional stream data with heterogeneity\, diverse data types and complex spatiotemporal structure often hinders establishing a unified analytics framework. Second\, individual-level data has become available in large scale and consequently\, there is a pressing need for individualized modeling and prediction.\n\nIn this talk\, we try to address some of these challenges through predictive data analytics methodologies designed for IoT enabled systems. Specifically\, we establish non-parametric models that predict the evolution of condition/system monitoring signals through borrowing strength from historical and in-service data. These frameworks leverage on kernel methods\, functional component analysis and Bayesian inference. Further\, we discuss how these methods can consistently scale to big data settings. The methodologies are validated using numerical studies and a case study with real world data in the application to cloud-based vehicle health monitoring service systems.\n\nBio\nRaed Al Kontar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial & Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan and an affiliate with both the Michigan Institutes for Data science (MIDAS) and Computational Discovery and Engineering (MICDE). His research broadly focuses on developing data analytics and decision-making methodologies specifically tailored for Internet of Things (IoT) enabled products/systems.\n\nRaed received his Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering in 2018 and M.S in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin Madison in 2017.

In the first part of the talk\, I will discuss depth-based approaches that achieve minimax rates in various problems. In general\, the minimax rate of a given problem with contamination consists of two terms: the statistical complexity without contamination\, and the contamination effect in the form of modulus of continuity. In the second part of the talk\, I will discuss computational challenges of these depth-based estimators. An interesting relation between statistical depth function and a general f-learning framework will be discussed\, which leads to a computation strategy via minimax optimization in the framework of generative adversarial nets (GAN). Finally\, I will address the problem of adaptive estimation under contamination model. It turns out adaptive estimation becomes a much harder task with contamination. Besides the classical logarithmic cost of adaptive estimation in some cases\, it can be shown that in certain situation\, adaptation can be completely impossible with any rate.

His work on art and artistic theory covers a number of areas - sculptural aesthetics and the history of sculpture\, experimental practices and the aesthetics of realism in twentieth-century art\, art and artistic theory in the nineteenth century\, and Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment conceptions of the classical ideal. His main publication on the latter was his book Flesh and the Ideal. Winckelmann and the Origins of Art History (1994). In addition to the book The Sculptural Imagination: Figurative\, Modernist\, Minimalist (2000)\, his work on sculpture includes a co-edited anthology of texts on modern sculpture\, The Modern Sculpture Reader (2007\; reissued 2012)\, and articles on David Smith\, Alberto Giacometti and other twentieth-century sculptors. In his more recent research he has been arguing for the larger significance of experimental forms of realism in post-war European and American art. This was the subject of the Slade Lectures in Fine Art he gave at the University of Oxford in 2008 and of the Kirk Varnedoe Memorial Lectures at the Institute of Fine Arts\, New York University\, in 2009\, and also of his book\, Experiments in Modern Realism: World Making\, Politics and the Everyday in Postwar European and American Art\, published by Yale University Press in 2013. The latter examines a variety of different kinds of art\, from the postwar painting of De Kooning and Dubuffet to New Brutalist and Pop image and object making and actions and assemblages of artists such as Rauschenberg and Beuys. In his current project\, he is exploring ways in which political commitment informed conceptions of naturalism and realism as well as more abstract forms of representation in the art of the late-nineteenth and earlier-twentieth centuries.

We present well known geometric properties of the optimal solution of the ESTP and discuss their application in the development of solution methods. We focus on mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulations and branch-and-bound algorithms\, identifying characteristics of the problem that make it a big challenge in optimization\, particularly when n is greater than 2. Finally\, we investigate what can still be done to improve our ability to solve this problem in the broader context of MINLP.\n\nBio:\nMarcia Fampa is a Full Professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)\, where she has been since 1997. She is at the Alberto Luiz Coimbra Institute for Graduate Studies and Research in Engineering (COPPE)\, at UFRJ\, where she has supervised more than 25 PhD and master students. Marcia did her undergraduate studies at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC/RJ)\, receiving an engineering degree in 1987. She received her PhD Degree in Systems and Computer Engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 1996. Marcia has published a book on linear optimization\, and over 50 papers in scientific journals and conferences.

A main behavioral correlate of ADHD is heightened levels of distractibility by external irrelevant stimuli\, causing difficulties staying focused on the current task. We conducted a visual search training regimen over five daily sessions with participants diagnosed with ADHD and healthy controls. In the task\, irrelevant color singleton distractors appeared during self-timed visual search on 50% of trials. Participants completed transfer tasks before and after training and at a follow-up session one month later. In this talk I will discuss: the findings from an initial behavioral study establishing differences in distraction between control and ADHD participants\; the current preliminary findings from the training study\; and a proposal for an upcoming study to investigate the neural and behavioral correlates of tDCS and visual attention training.

Prescott\, Professor of Law\, University of Michigan\n\nThe past fifty years are conventionally understood to have witnessed an uninterrupted expansion of sexual rights and liberties in the United States. This state-of-the-art collection tells a different story: while progress has been made in marriage equality\, reproductive rights\, access to birth control\, and other areas\, government and civil society are waging a war on stigmatized sex by means of law\, surveillance\, and social control. The contributors document the history and operation of sex offender registries and the criminalization of HIV\, as well as highly punitive measures against sex work that do more to harm women than to combat human trafficking. They reveal that sex crimes are punished more harshly than other crimes\, while new legal and administrative regulations drastically restrict who is permitted to have sex. By examining how the ever-intensifying war on sex affects both privileged and marginalized communities\, the essays collected here show why sexual liberation is indispensable to social justice and human rights.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

An agent chooses from a menu repeatedly over time\, generating a time series of choices. We identify the limit frequency of these choices as {\it stochastic choice}. We characterize a tractable model of stochastic intertemporal preferences where the agent repeatedly chooses today's consumption and tomorrow's continuation menu\, aware that future preferences will evolve according to a subjective ergodic {\it utility process}. Using our model\, we demonstrate how not taking into account the agent's preference for early (late) resolution of uncertainty would lead an analyst to underestimate (resp.\, overestimate) the agent's risk aversion. Estimation of preferences can be performed by the analyst without explicitly modeling continuation problems (i.e. stochastic choice is \textit{independent of continuation menus}) if and only if the utility process takes on the \textit{standard} additive and separable form. Applications include estimation under dynamic discrete choice.

DESCRIPTION:Arc magmas globally are H2O-Cl-S-rich and moderately oxidized (ΔFMQ = +1 to +2) relative to most other mantle-derived magmas (ΔFMQ ≤ 0). Their relatively high oxidation state limits the extent to which sulfide phases separate from the magma\, which would otherwise tend to deplete the melt in chalcophile elements such as Cu (highly siderophile elements such as Au and especially PGE are depleted by even small amounts of sulfide segregation). As these magmas rise into the crust and begin to crystallize they will reach volatile saturation\, and a hydrous\, saline\, S-rich\, moderately oxidized fluid is released\, into which chalcophile and any remaining siderophile metals (as well as many other water-soluble elements) will strongly partition. This magmatic-hydrothermal fluid phase has the potential to form ore deposits (most commonly porphyry Cu±Mo±Au deposits) if its metal load is precipitated in economic concentrations\, but there are many steps along the way that have to be successfully negotiated before this can occur. This paper seeks to identify the main steps along the path from magmagenesis to hydrothermal mineral precipitation that affect the chances of forming an ore deposit (defined as an economically mineable resource)\, and attempts to estimate the probability of achieving each step. The cumulative probability of forming a large porphyry Cu deposit at any given time in an arc magmatic system (i.e.\, a single batholith-linked volcanoplutonic complex) is estimated to be ~0.001%\, while less than 1/10 of these deposits will be uplifted and exposed at shallow enough depths to mine economically (0.0001%). Continued uplift and erosion in active convergent tectonic regimes rapidly removes these upper crustal deposits from the geological record\, such that the probability of finding them in older arc systems decreases further with age\, to the point that porphyry Cu deposits are almost non-existent in Precambrian rocks.

The story addressed by the film begins in 1927\, when the Ford Motor Company attempted to establish rubber plantations on the Tapajós River\, a primary tributary of the Amazon. This film addresses the recent transition from failed rubber to successful soybean cultivation for export\, and its implication for land usage.\n\nWinner of several awards\, including:\n>> \"Best-Awareness Raising Documentary\,\" World Wildlife Fund\, International Environmental Film Festival [FICMA-Barcelona]\, November 2017.\n>> \"Best Feature Documentary\,\" Cabo Verde International Film Festival\, October 2017.\n>>\"Award of Excellence\, Documentary Feature\,\" Impact DOCS Awards\, July 2017.\n\nMARCOS COLÓN is a dissertator in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and a Graduate Student Associate of the Center for Culture\, History\, and Environment (CHE) of UW-Madison’s Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. His research focuses on the representation of the Amazon in 20th-Century Brazilian literature from an environmental studies perspective.

Islamophobia Working Group Meeting DESCRIPTION:The Islamophobia Working Group (IWG) was assembled in January 2016 to address the national crisis of Islamophobia and its impact on our campus community. We -- a group of faculty\, staff\, and students -- have become actively involved in the University’s strategic plan for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion and gained visibility across the university. For over two years\, the IWG has been run through the Arab and Muslim American Studies Program in American Culture\; starting in Fall 2018\, the IWG will be co-led by AMAS and CMENAS. \n \nOur work is driven by issues brought to the group by any student\, staff\, or faculty member. The group strategizes as a collective to figure out the best approach to a given issue. Thus\, if you encounter a pertinent issue\, we want to know about it and we welcome your participation in the group. \n \nIf you would like to join our email list or come to a meeting\, please contact Professor Samer Ali (samerali@umich.edu)\, or IWG student coordinator\, Silan Fadlallah (silanf@umich.edu). \n\nCosponsors: American Culture\; Arab Muslim & American Studies\; Islamic Studies Program\; Office of Multiethnic Student Affairs\; Muslim Students' Association\; Arab Students' Association\; International Institute\n\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.

Only by carefully modeling these effects can we take full advantage of the data -- big data must be complemented with big models and the algorithms that can fit them. One such algorithm is Hamiltonian Monte Carlo\, which exploits the inherent geometry of the posterior distribution to admit full Bayesian inference that scales to the complex models of practical interest. In this talk I will present a conceptual discussion of the challenges inherent to Bayesian computation and the foundations of why Hamiltonian Monte Carlo in uniquely suited to surmount them.\n \nBio: Michael Betancourt is the principal research scientist with Symplectomorphic\, LLC where he develops theoretical and methodological tools to support practical Bayesian inference. He is also a core developer of Stan\, where he implements and tests these tools. In addition to hosting tutorials and workshops on Bayesian inference with Stan he also collaborates on analyses in epidemiology\, pharmacology\, and physics\, amongst others. Before moving into statistics\, Michael earned a B.S. from the California Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, both in physics.

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.

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:59301-14728322@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:20181218T082346 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190323T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190323T150000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Korean Cinema NOW | I Can Speak / 아이 캔 스피크 DESCRIPTION:2017 | 119 Minutes | Hyeon-Seok Kim \n \nFree | Open to the public | In Korean with English subtitles \n \n\"Min-jae\, a fastidious young civil servant\, takes on a new post\, eager to impress in his new district while he takes care of his younger brother at home.

Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

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.

Mirar por una y otra parte: Iridescence\, Visual Pedagogy\, and the Image DESCRIPTION:Around the turn of the seventeenth century\, a variety of authors writing in Spain invoked the shifting chromatics of iridescent materials—whose colors appear to change with alterations in the geometry of illumination or view—to teach audiences about the world in which they lived. While some of these texts drew connections between fluctuating hues and the mutability of the earthly realm\, others saw parallels between the same vibrant visual effects and the nature of the divine. This article examines how authors exploited the pedagogical potential of iridescent materials to teach lessons about Catholic doctrine\, both by navigating the semantic variability of iridescence itself and by breathing new life into the venerable philosophical traditions that made meaning from it.

These deficits have been associated with differences in neural activation in emotion processing regions such as the amygdala and regulatory medial (mPFC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices (dlPFC). This study assessed neural mechanisms associated with emotion regulation and appraisal in veterans following treatment for PTSD symptoms. Thirty six veterans with PTSD were assigned to evidence-based treatments and completed a series of emotion regulation and appraisal tasks while undergoing fMRI scanning prior to and following treatment. The Emotion Regulation Task (ERT) assessed neural activation during passive viewing\, maintenance of emotional response\, and reappraisal of emotional response to distressing images. PTSD symptom ratings were also taken for participants prior to and following treatment. ERT results for activation during “maintain” trials subtracted from activation during “reappraise” trials revealed that individuals with PTSD (M = 0.24\, SD = 0.43) showed greater dmPFC activation than trauma-exposed combat controls (CC\; M= 0.04\, SD = 0.38\; t(51.89)= 2.01\, p = .05). In concert\, symptom improvement over time was inversely related (F(3\, 36) = 3.66\, p = .02\, R2 = .17) to activation in the dmPFC (t(39)= -2.84\, p < .01)\, bilateral amygdala (t(39) = -2.38\, p = .02)\, and dlPFC (t(39) = -2.26\, p = .03). Present findings suggest that those who demonstrate greater reduction of symptoms over time with treatment may exhibit less pretreatment activation in the amygdala and prefrontal regions of interest during cognitive reappraisal compared to maintenance of emotion. . This is one of the first studies to examine neural activation across different treatments for PTSD and provides greater insight into emotion regulation and processing in PTSD.

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.

While the estimation bias in an under-fitted model is well understood\, we address a lesser known bias that arises from an over-fitted model. We show that the over-fitting bias can be reduced or eliminated through data splitting\, and more importantly\, smoothing over random data splits or bootstrap-induced splits can be pursued to mitigate the efficiency loss. We also discuss some of the existing methods for debiased inference and provide insights into their intrinsic bias-variance trade-off\, which leads to an improvement in bias controls. Based on these insights\, we thoroughly study the connections between our current framework and average treatment effects estimation under the Neyman-Rubin causal model. A careful analysis shows that the post-selection bias issue can exist in a wider range of treatment effect estimation procedures. Under appropriate conditions\, we show that our proposed estimators for the treatment effects are asymptotically normal and their variances can be well estimated. We discuss the pros and cons of various methods both theoretically and empirically\, and show that the proposed methods are valuable options in post-selection inference.

These relationships are not isolated from each other: the network pattern of an existing relationship is likely to affect the formation of a new relationship. This paper provides a framework to analyze the multiplex of networks. We present a model in which each pair of agents may form more than one relationship. Each relationship/link is captured by an infinitely repeated prisoner’s dilemma\, with endogenous stake of cooperation. We show that multiplexity\, i.e. having more than one relationship on a link\, boosters incentives as different relationships serve as social collateral for each other. We then endogenize the network formation and ask: when an agent has a new link to add\, will she multiplex with a current neighbor\, or link with a stranger? We find the following: (1) There is a strong tendency to multiplex\, and “multiplexity trap” can occur. That is\, agents may keep adding relationships with current neighbor(s)\, even if it is more compatible to cooperate with a stranger.

Current work focuses on integration across these networks\, and with other circuits\, challenging an overly simplistic “hot” system as a sole source of problematic risk behavior\, and a “cold” system as the sole source of self-regulated behavior. “Ramping up” approaches take note of robust\, convergent population findings evincing the similarity of key patterns: DMM (and its corollary of enhanced neuroplasticity up to about age 25 years)\; self-reported risk behavior (such as sensation seeking)\; and population level trends (such as the waxing and waning of behavioral misadventure\, and the age-crime curve). The social and policy implications for adolescents of these developmental trajectories are profound: the excess mortality and morbidity resulting from health risk behavior/behavioral misadventure\; justice system sanctions for juveniles\, prominently in the Miller and Montgomery Supreme Court decisions regarding juvenile life without parole (JLWOP)\; early life and concurrent stress and adversity as they “get under the skin\,” impacting a wide array of developmental health outcomes\, including stress dysregulation\, achievement\, and mental and physical health. This talk focuses on the tension between convergent “ramping up” evidence and the drive for precision in neurodevelopmental models through “drilling down” – population science meets neuroscience – and how interpretations of that tension speak to choices in policy and prevention.

Both plants and animals have developed vascular systems of striking complexity to solve the problem of nutrient delivery\, waste removal\, and information exchange. Vascular networks are intimately linked to the fitness of organisms. Despite their importance\, the principles that govern the structure\, topology\, function\, development and evolution of biological flow networks are not well understood.\n\nIn this talk we present how a biological transport network can utilise principles of self organization to develop and function. We first discuss how a hierarchically organized vascular system can develop under constant or variable flow and show how time-dependent flow can stabilize anastomoses and lead to a topology dominated by cycles. Next\, inspired by haemodynamic fluctuations in the brain\, we examine how networks can produce self-sustained oscillations in the flow even in the absence of varying external input. We discuss how these spontaneously emerging\, self-organized fluctuations depend on the network topology\, and how they can be modified by a controlled external input. \n UID:60565-14910379@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60565 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190409T063014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Just getting started building a resume?

The colloquium will present initiatives for new\, large-scale accelerators that include the International Linear Collider (ILC) in Japan\, the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) in Europe\, the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) in China\, and Future Circular Collider (FCC) in Europe\, all designed to study the Higgs boson in detail or to go beyond in energy the current LHC for particle physics in the energy frontier.\n UID:61834-15215048@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61834 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190325T181538 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T173000 SUMMARY:Other:If you are going to make a fuel from sunlight\, water\, and air\, what should it be? DESCRIPTION: Electrocatalysts for the reduction of CO2 are of interest in the production of solar fuels\, and as a means of mitigating atmospheric CO2. The question of which solar fuels should be made from CO2 is an important one. Unlike water splitting (H2O ? H2 + ½ O2) where a single reduced product (H2) is obtained\, the reduction of CO2 can produce a variety of different chemical reduction products\, CO\, HCOOH\, H2CO\, CH3OH\, CH4\, to name a few\, as well as C2 and higher products. Which product(s) will be produced from solar energy\, and then be used as building blocks to manufacture higher fuels and specialty chemicals is not presently known. Indeed\, the question of whether CO2 should be reduced electrochemically to an organic molecule\, or instead\, hydrogen produced by water splitting\, should be used to hydrogenate CO2 to organic products is not clearly understood at this time. There are very few known catalysts for the efficient hydrogenation of CO2\, so whether electrochemical reduction or hydrogenation of CO2 is ultimately practiced on an industrial scale\, the development of new catalysts will be required to enable new technology. Results from several recent approaches to producing higher value solar fuels from CO2 including synthetic biology and tandem catalysis are presently under investigation. Several recent accomplishments in the activation and electrochemical reduction of CO2 have been achieved. These include the use of earth-abundant metals including manganese\, in place of rhenium and ruthenium\, and the use of artificial co-factors to promote catalysis. Other recent approaches to developing catalysts for the reduction of CO2 include the deployment of proton relays in associated ligands to manage proton transport\, introduction of new systems in which proton coupled electron transfer for efficient H-atom transfers can be effected\, supramolecular catalyst assemblies that use non-covalent interactions to direct catalyst centers toward substrate activation\, and artificial metalloprotein electrocatalysts. The general properties of molecular catalysts on conducting substrates under bias as probed by surface spectroscopies pose challenges to researchers attempting to do catalysis at an electrified interface. Surface spectroscopies can provide detailed information about the electronic structure and environmental effects of catalysts operating within the diffusion layer of an electrode under bias.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCliff Kubiak (University of California San Diego) UID:52155-12488633@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52155 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chemistry 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with CPS faculty Yuki Shiraito DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shiraito is excited to host a weekly Monday evening hackerspace from January 21 until April 22.

Judicial Abolitionism in Nineteenth- Century Spanish America: Afro-Uruguayan Soldiers and Spanish Diarist José María Márquez DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines how judicial litigation about the freedom of formerly enslaved black soldiers in late 1820s Montevideo shaped the first arguments about the abolition of slavery in the newly created country of Uruguay. Spanish diarist José María Márquez\, who occupied the position of “Public Attorney for the Poor and Slaves” in Montevideo\, published in his newspaper stories about the black soldiers he defended. This news became the first public arena to discuss the complete abolition of slavery. The actions of former slaves then black soldiers and their negotiations to secure freedom provided strong arguments and nationalist bases for conceiving a plan for full abolition. Through the lens of these actions and the communication between the courts and the public arena\, here we examine judicial actions as one of the sources of abolitionism in the newly formed Spanish American republics\, instead of Anglo-centric and North Atlantic models of abolitionist societies and newspapers. \n \nAlex Borucki is associate professor of history in the University of California\, Irvine\, where he also is director of the Latin American Studies Center. He is the author of From Shipmates to Soldiers: Emerging Black Identities in the Río de la Plata (University of New Mexico Press\, 2015)\, which was finalist of the 2016 Harriet Tubman Book Prize. Apart from Spanish-language books and articles published in Argentina and Uruguay\, he has published articles on the slave trade and the African diaspora in the American Historical Review\, Hispanic American Historical Review\, Colonial Latin American Review\, The Americas\, History in Africa\, Itinerario\, Atlantic Studies\, and Slavery and Abolition. \n \nThis event is generously co-sponsored by the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures and the Department of History at the University of Michigan. \n\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.

My lecture will explore her political life shaped by her international travel throughout Africa and the Americas\, and how she formulated a transnational understanding of black culture\, gendered anti-black racism\, and the movement for black liberation. I will explore Gonzalez’s idea of “Amerifricanidade” that expresses a common black identity in the Americas that centers African heritage and that challenges the erasure of blackness and indigeneity in the construction of Latin Americanness. Gonzalez is traveling\, writing\, and carrying out her political activism at the same time as Abdias Nascimento and Molefi Asante\, for example\, but she has received little attention in the scholarship on the global black radical and feminist traditions. The political life and work of Gonzalez reminds scholars of the African diaspora precisely why black Brazilian women should be given more intellectual attention in black radical thought and why Africana Studies requires a refocus on Brazilian scholars and social movements.

Scarring after the Great Recession DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nI investigate medium- and long-term impacts of the Great Recession on post-recession college graduates. Most “scarring” models emphasize effects of initial conditions that attenuate over the first decade of a worker’s career. But early career recessions may also have permanent effects. I decompose the recent cohorts’ experience into transitory time effects\, medium-term scarring\, and permanent cohort effects. Cohort effects are strongly cyclical. Medium-term scarring explains only half of this cyclicality. The long-run cumulative effect of the recession on graduates’ employment is more than twice as large as the immediate effect.

Did State intervention take place in terms of semi-authoritarian control or as a form of strategic support? Historians of Italian cinema have often debated about these questions and usually favored an interpretation of national film industry as a weak\, politically-controlled system. The goal of this talk is to shed light on the role of the State in every phase of post-war film production\, form training to funding\, from the supply of production facilities to the management of film theaters. Case studies and archival materials will be presented in order to have a broader look on the entire value chain\, taking account not only films and related quantitative data (box office\, admissions\, budget)\, but also the social and professional relations between the various players in the system.

This contest will be judged by a panel of faculty members. The entries will be identified only by the student’s university ID number\, making the judging anonymous. There will be monetary prizes of $150 for first place\, $125 for second place\, and $100 for third place!\n\nParticipants: All undergraduate University of Michigan students currently enrolled in a German course or who are registered as a German major or minor are welcome to participate.\n\nRegistration: All contest participants are required to register for the contest by 5 p.m. on Monday\, March 25! To register contact Andrew Mills: ajmills@umich.edu.\n\nAlternative times: If students can demonstrate that they cannot make the contest time due to their class schedule or work schedule constraints\, an alternative time and location can be arranged. This alternative time must be arranged and confirmed before 5 p.m. on Monday\, March 25\, and must take place at some point during the day of Thursday\, March 28.\n\nContest Rules: The contest will be held under the same conditions used by the American Translators Association (ATA) for its certification exam. Students will have approximately 70 minutes to translate a text by hand that will be provided for them. The translation will be from German to English. The contest will be held in “open book” format. Students will not have access to the internet\, but may bring and use as many hardback or paperback dictionaries as they wish. All students receive the same text\, which will be approximately 225-275 words in length. The contest must be written in (dark) pencil capable of being photo-copied for our judges. Students must bring their own pencils. Paper will be provided.\n\nThe text to be translated will be “general” in nature. This text expresses a view\, sets forth an argument\, or presents an idea or situation. Examples include: a newspaper article\, an essay\, or a passage from a non-fiction book. The contest passage is chosen in such a way as to avoid highly specialized terminology requiring research. There are\, however\, terminology challenges in the text\, and knowledge of German culture\, society\, and history often is necessary for contestants to excel. \n\nChallenge yourself! The worst that could happen is you discover how things stand with your translation skills. The best thing that could happen: you win some money!

Government officials recently stated the need as “critically important” (MDHHS\, 2017). Costs to individuals and to society are very high. For example\, children with anxiety disorders are found to have poorer academic achievement\, more interpersonal and social problems\, and substance abuse relative to those without anxiety disorders. Further they are 3-5 times more likely to have doctor’s visits and 6 times more likely to be hospitalized than children without such anxiety. Research shows that childhood depression is a risk factor for trouble in school\, social withdrawal\, sleep problems\, aggression\, and feeling hopeless. Children with depression are at high risk for suicide in adolescence. It is important to note that many more children are prodromal – that is\, they may have some signs of adjustment problems but have not yet reached the threshold of receiving a diagnosis – or are simply undiagnosed. Yet research studies show that children’s mental health problems are amenable to treatment. Clearly\, more affordable and available services are necessary to meet this need\, for without help\, there is no doubt that the optimal development of children with such problems will be diminished. Further\, we know that all children - even those without adjustment problems - can benefit from programs that enhance their coping skills\, boost their self-esteem and empower them to be better at identifying and solving problems. This presentation describes a program designed to enhance the well-being of all school-aged children\, whether they have symptoms of adjustment problem or not. There is incontrovertible evidence from research studies that children who are more able to manage their emotions and to use proven strategies to reduce stress and solve problems\, have healthier lives\, greater academic success\, better mental health\, and more satisfying social relationships. This presentation shows how the Kids’ Empowerment Program (KEP) is built on best practices that are derived from research studies and from the results of the successful Kids’ Club Program for children exposed to violence. \n\nSandra Graham-Bermann\, Ph.D.\, is Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Michigan. As director of the Child Violence and Trauma Lab she studies resilient coping\, and the behavioral and emotional adjustment of women and children\, as well as interventions designed to assist them. Over 30 years she has developed measures of children’s fears and worries\, traumatic stress\, attitudes and beliefs about violence\, family stereotyping\, and conflict in sibling relationships. In addition to longitudinal studies of Head Start preschool children she has designed and evaluated interventions for women and children exposed to violence using randomized control trials. These interventions have been adapted for use with Spanish speaking women and children\, Alaska Native and Alaskan Indian women and children\, and Swedish families who experience intimate partner violence. With great support for their effectiveness in advancing well-being and reducing psychopathology\, the programs are now used in 38 states and four countries. A fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA)\, she serves on 4 journal editorial boards and is author of 125 peer-reviewed publications and 3 edited volumes. Dr. Graham-Bermann received the APA Florence Halpern Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Clinical Psychology\, the APA Nicholas Hobbs Award for outstanding research contributions\, as well as an honorary doctorate from the School of Law\, Psychology and Social Work\, at Örebro University in Sweden. Her current research is focused on enhancing the well-being of all school-aged children.

Back then\, the band consisted of Tiree-born brothers Daniel Gillespie (accordion) and Martin Gillespie (bagpipes\, whistles & accordion) who bonded with holidaymaker Fraser West (drums & vocals) and friend Alec Dalglish (lead vocals & guitar) over a shared love of music: everything from traditional to rock and jazz. It was this mix of musical styles and sounds that set the path for the band’s 2005 debut album\, \"West Coast Life.\" The more the fledgling band experimented with fusing together this mix of musical styles\, the more their signature sound evolved\, with many high-energy rock elements. The group expanded to a sextet and then to an octet\, and the release of their self-titled third album saw them catapulted into the musical limelight\, winning a string of prestigious awards and critical acclaim.

The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

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.

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

In 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.

Smart drug delivery systems may provide an effective solution. Here I present the development of externally-triggerable drug delivery systems for on-demand\, repeatable and adjustable local anesthesia\, where the timing\, duration\, and intensity of nerve block can be controlled through external energy triggers such as light and ultrasound. In addition to traditional pharmacological approaches\, bioelectronic platforms to enhance our insights into the diagnostics and mechanisms of pain and will also be discussed. Through pharmacological\, optical\, and electrical toolsets\, we aim to develop effective therapeutic solutions to neurological disease states.\n\nSHORT BIO\nDr. Rwei received both her undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\, with her undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering\, completed in June 2017.

The intrinsic\, natural curvature of an elastic shell is the central element that allows for this rich and very interesting morphological landscape. It is also the source of the geometric nonlinearities that render a direct analytic treatment of non-Euclidean shells difficult\, even under small forces or applied loads. In this talk we examine some snapshots of this morphological landscape. Inspired by the natural folding and unfolding of pollen grains\, we use theory\, simulations and experiments to explore the large scale deformation of a confined thin spherical shell with an opening. We then proceed to investigate the surface topography of shallow doubly curved shells resting on a fluid substrate. The frustration due to the competing flat geometry of the substrate and the curved one of the shell produces a wealth of highly reproducible and ordered wrinkling patterns\, in conjunction with other random and disordered patterns as well. These examples illustrate that Gaussian curvature can be a powerful tool for the creation of complex patterns UID:61796-15186441@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61796 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Complex Systems,Ecology,Free,Mathematics,Natural Sciences,Physics,Research,seminar LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 747 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190204T140036 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190326T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190326T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Engineering Education Research Community-Led Research Discussions DESCRIPTION:This series of discussions is open to all who are interested in learning about engineering education and engineering education research (EER) These sessions include both:\n* Work-in-Progress Presentations - a member of the EER community will present their own EER work in progress\, and then participants will provide feedback to help develop the project. *Guided Discussions: a member of the EER community will overview research on a particular topic\, after which participants will engage in discussion about this topic with other attendees. \n\nPlease RSVP for all events here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-EYcU-gXjzpeTB7was-bJbCRrQpAQ42oUv4HeQNvEhvYGeQ/viewform\n\nThese events are put on by the EER program in cooperation with ASEE as part of ASEE's Exploring the Teaching Side of Academia CoE Graduate Student Community Grant.

In a context where cassette culture\, color television\, VCRs\, cable and satellite broadcasting\, the internet\, and mobile phones all arrived within a span of two decades\, digital media platforms are layered onto existing media infrastructures\, institutions\, and the intensely mediated routines of daily life for hundreds of millions of people. The result is the emergence of a hybrid arena defined by two distinct zones of public culture: on the one hand\, powerful film and television industries that are shaped primarily by logics of scale\, audience niches\, and a politics of representation\, and on the other hand\, social media companies defined by emergent logics of data-driven programming and production\, algorithmic curation\, and user participation. As part of an ongoing project on mediated political cultures\, this talk will address how these media dynamics have transformed links between popular culture and politics and\, in the process\, reconfigured the meanings and performances of citizenship in contemporary India.

Please join us for a very special arts workshop with visiting artists Jeff Abbey Maldonado and Dulce Santoyo\, to be followed by an artist talk featuring Jeff Maldonado and including a Flor y Canto Nahuat Xochitl in Cuitcatl Flower and Song Celebration with local and student poets. Our evening will culminate with a reception in 3512 Haven Hall to celebrate the University Housing donation of Maldonado’s 1998 César Chávez mural to Latina/o Studies and American Culture.\n\nJeff Abbey Maldonado lives and works in Pilsen\, Chicago. He has maintained his studio for the past 20 years. He studied under Mario Castillo\, professor at Columbia College\, who is credited with painting the first Latino mural in Chicago. Maldonado’s work has been shown nationally and internationally\, including at the National Museum of Mexican Art\, Chicago Cultural Center\, The Field Museum\, and the Chicago History Museum. Currently\, he is Founder and Director of the J-Def Peace Project\, which promotes youth empowerment through the arts. Dulce Santoyo is an emerging Latina artist working in Chicago.\n\nThe Chávez mural was donated to American Culture in summer 2018 thanks to the student activism of La Casa. It previously was held by University Housing—a unit of Student Life—and was displayed in the César Chávez Lounge at the Mosher-Jordan “Mo-Jo” Student Residence Hall in the Hill Neighborhood on Observatory\, home to the Michigan Research Community and the Women in Science and Engineering Residence Program.

Recent technological advances have opened a path for atom interferometers to contribute to two areas at the forefront of modern physics: gravitational wave astronomy and the search for dark matter. In this seminar\, I will describe a new experiment\, MAGIS 100\, that will use a 100-meter-tall atom interferometer to pursue these directions. MAGIS-100 will serve as a prototype gravitational wave detector in the mid-band frequency range 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz\, which is complementary to the frequency bands addressed by laser interferometers such as LIGO and the planned LISA experiment. I will discuss the scientific motivation for gravitational wave detection in the mid-band. In addition\, I will explain how MAGIS-100 can look for ultralight dark matter\, a well-motivated class of dark matter candidates that behave as coherently oscillating fields. \n UID:62352-15355252@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62352 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190326T181539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190326T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190326T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Enantioselective Chemical Synthesis Methods via Cooperative Catalysis: Design\, Development and Application DESCRIPTION: Our laboratory has embraced cooperative catalysis as a general framework for the design of new enantioselective reactions. Within this regime we have exploited cooperation between Lewis base and transition metal catalysts as an effective means to control and direct both reaction partners during bond construction. The versatility of this approach is such that each catalyst acts in an orthogonal manner\, which permits the role and function of the metal center to be modified and tuned without compromising enantioselectivity. This seminar will describe our most recent efforts in asymmetric carbon–carbon and carbon-nitrogen bond formation. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThomas Snaddon (Indiana University) UID:57287-14148782@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57287 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190211T160340 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190326T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190326T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Influence of Biblical Cantillations on Art Music in the 20th and 21st Centuries DESCRIPTION:The oldest part of Jewish music culture is the ritualized presentation of texts from the Hebrew Bible (tanakh) organized through a complex and highly diversified system of strict musical rules and distinct motifs (cantillations). This system was essentially created during the Biblical times\; it was then passed on orally for several centuries and codified in the 9th century with special signs (teamim). Since the beginning of the 20th century\, the motifs of biblical cantillations have been perceived by Jewish composers as the “most authentic” part of the Jewish musical tradition and used as a source of inspiration and “building material” in many works. As a rule\, in this context the motifs of cantillation lost their connection to the liturgy and their direct relation to the text and were merely identified as the musical embodiment of the Jewishness. By their archaic character and their shortness of breath they also significantly influenced the musical style of the new Jewish art music.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

Lacey Knowles\, the Robert B. Payne Collegiate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:From the patterns of genomic variation in individuals living today\, phylogeographic analyses provide a window into a species’ past. When viewed in a comparative context\, examples of concordant genetic structure across assemblages of species\, despite their biological difference\, have reinforced a conceptual and methodological focus on abiotic factors in shaping species’ histories. This emphasis has also promoted an adherence to generic expectations of phylogeographic concordance irrespective of the composition of communities and a tendency to attribute discord to the idiosyncracies of history. However\, from the increased sampling densities and unprecedented amounts of genomic data\, what is emerging in comparative phylogeography is a complex of concordant and discordant genetic structure across community members. In my talk\, and with reference to computational advances and recent developments at the molecular level\, I will highlight how discordant patterns of genetic variation may arise from difference in the traits and ecologies of taxa. That is\, discord across species may reflect deterministic processes linked to species-specific traits. In addition to reviewing the methodologies that are propelling this promising area of research\, and based on examples of comparative phylogeographic studies\, I will show how considering the contribution of taxon-specific traits\, rather than adhering to the concordance-discordance dichotomy\, can provide more meaningful insights about the evolutionary history of organisms. These studies emphasize that to understand how the divergence process may differ among geographic regions\, or why genetic structure may differ among members of communities\, both biotic and abiotic factors need to be considered jointly.

Especially since the late 1990s\, in the context of increasingly dire planetary futures presented by global climate change and mass extinction\, as well as with the deteriorating prospects of national reunification or reconciliation between the two Koreas\, the DMZ’s nature has offered the conceptual ground for mainstream and marginal imaginaries of peace in South Korea and beyond. While it would be easy to dismiss these hopeful discourses as naive and romanticizing\, this paper seeks to take them seriously as empirically-grounded logics in which the existence of biodiversity of the DMZ offers alternatives to geopolitics as usual. How is the DMZ’s nature temporally operationalized as transhistorical and universal\, connecting a pre-division\, yet national\, space to a “context yet to come” of a post-division Korea? What imaginative possibilities does it offer beyond state-centric and nationalist frameworks for unification? \n \nEleana Kim is associate professor of anthropology at UC Irvine and author of Adopted Territory: Transnational Korean Adoptees and the Politics of Belonging (Duke UP\, 2010). Her research on the ecologies of the Korean DMZ has been funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation and the ACLS\, and related articles may be found in Cultural Anthropology\, Social Research\, and the forthcoming edited volume\, How Nature Works (SAR Press).

DOERING-WHITE (Field Producer\, Advisor and Sound)\n---------\n\nRound-table: Exploring Border Security and Migration in 2019\nMARCH 29\, 12-2 PM\, ANGELL HALL\, AUDITORIUM B\n\nWe will discuss the realities currently experienced by migrants along the US/Mexico border and the history of America’s border security paradigm known as “Prevention Through Deterrence.” Given the heightened discussion in recent months about the supposed dangers posed by migrants and the potential role that a border wall would play in securing America’s southern geopolitical boundary\, this roundtable seeks to facilitate an open and frank discussion about what migration currently looks like\, who is migrating\, and why. In addition to facilitating a conversation about the lives of migrants\, our panelists will also discuss the important roles of history\, storytelling\, art\, and film in the telling and (re) presentation of nuanced information about America’s current border crisis. Of particular interest is how the panelists seek to tell new and impactful stories about about a social process that has a deep history and often overdetermined by simplistic tropes such as the “noble migrant” and “foreign invader.” \n\nModerator: DANIEL NEMSER\, Romance Languages and Literatures\n\nPanelists: JASON DE LEÓN\, Anthropology\, Director of Hostile Terrain Exhibition\; LUCY CAHILL\, Curator of Hostile Terrain Exhibition\; RAÚL O.

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.

What are the origins of this traditional claim to Sephardic exceptionalism? How were traditional claims enhanced or altered by the decline in Jewish-Christian relations in the Christian kingdoms of Iberia in the later Middle Ages and by the eventual expulsion of the Sephardim\, first from the Spanish kingdoms in 1492 and then from Portugal in 1496? “Sephardic Identities: Medieval and Early Modern” looks at Sephardic myths of identity from a diachronic perspective\, bringing together papers both on the origins of Sephardic exceptionalism within medieval Sephardic communities themselves and on the evolution of such notions under pressure from forced conversion and inquisition\, expulsion and diaspora\, and ghettoization and emancipation.\n\n\nThe front entrance of Rackham\, located on East Washington\, is accessible by stairs and ramp.

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.

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.

Drawing from anthropological and ethnographic research with Romani and Egyptian communities in Albania\, this talk features a critical discussion of social inequality with a particular focus on processes of racialization\, dehumanization\, and marginalization. In Albania\, Roms and Egyptians are often racialized as dorë e zezë or ‘black’ while Albanians are racialized as dorë e bardhë or ‘white’. Additionally\, many Roms and Egyptians in Albania frequently invoke the language of dehumanization to articulate their experiences with discrimination and non-belonging in Albania. Through an exploration of ethnographic cases\, this talk will examine local constructions of these racial identities in the post-communist period\, specifically as they pertain to housing segregation\, health\, labor\, and the environment. This talk will also shed light on the ways that Roms and Egyptians in Albania mobilize around issues of inequality to promote social justice. \n \nChelsi West Ohueri is a sociocultural anthropologist and postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Population Health at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School. Her research interests include race and racialization\, belonging\, marginalization\, health disparities\, and global health. She has conducted extensive ethnographic research in Albania\, southeastern Europe\, and Central Texas. West Ohueri is a native of Jackson\, MS and completed her Ph.D. in sociocultural anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin in 2016. Her dissertation analyzed racialization and belonging in Romani\, Egyptian\, and Albanian communities of Albania. \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.

Our empirical strategy takes advantage of a parental-leave program in Denmark\, which offered any parent the opportunity to take up to one year's absence per child aged 0-8. Combining the policy variation with administrative employer-employee match data\, we document substantial program take-up among nurses\, who could not be replaced on net despite public education and immigration expansion efforts to mitigate the employment effects. We find that the parental leave program reduced hospital and nursing home nurse employment by 15 percent and 10 percent\, respectively. Using detailed patient health records\, we find detrimental effects on hospital-care delivery as indicated by a large increase in 30-day readmission rates among acute myocardial infarction patients. We find no evidence for an increase in hospital mortality. In nursing homes\, we estimate a large increase in mortality.

Lunch provided. Please RSVP to help us order food: https://goo.gl/forms/yS61hwJmjn88emi13.\n\nPlease join us for a book talk by Rucker C. Johnson (MA '97 Econ\, PhD '02 Econ)\, Associate Professor & NBER\, University of California\, Berkeley & Goldman School of Public Policy.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nWe are frequently told that school integration was a social experiment doomed from the start. But as Rucker C. Johnson demonstrates in Children of the Dream\, it was\, in fact\, a spectacular achievement. Drawing on longitudinal studies going back to the 1960s\, he shows that students who attended integrated and well-funded schools were more successful in life than those who did not — and this held true for children of all races.\n\nYet as a society we have given up on integration. Since the high point of integration in 1988\, we have regressed and segregation again prevails. Contending that integrated\, well-funded schools are the primary engine of social mobility\, Children of the Dream offers a radical new take on social policy. It is essential reading in our divided times.\n\nFor more info\, visit https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/rucker-c-johnson/children-of-the-dream.\n\nAbout the author:\n\nRucker C. Johnson is an Associate Professor in the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and faculty research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. As a labor economist who specializes in the economics of education\, Johnson’s work considers the role of poverty and inequality in affecting life chances.\n\nJohnson was one of 35 scholars to receive the prestigious 2017 Andrew Carnegie Fellowship. His research has appeared in leading academic journals\, featured in mainstream media outlets\, and he has been invited to give policy briefings at the White House and on Capitol Hill. His forthcoming book\, Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works\, will be published by Basic Books & the Russell Sage Foundation Press in April 2019.\n\nJohnson is committed to advance his scholarly agenda of fusing insights from multiple disciplinary perspectives to improve our understanding of the causes\, consequences\, and remedies of inequality in this country. Johnson earned his Ph.D. in economics at the University of Michigan. At UC-Berkeley (2004-present)\, he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in applied econometrics and topical courses in race\, poverty & inequality.\n\nHosted by the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and co-sponsored by Education Policy Initiative.

Matrix factorization (MF) techniques can reveal low-dimensional structure from high-dimensional data to uncover new biological knowledge. The knowledge of gained from low dimensional features in training data can also be transferred to new datasets to relate disparate model systems and data modalities. We illustrate the power of these techniques for interpretation of high dimensional data through case studies in postmortem tissues from GTEx\, acquired therapeutic resistance in cancer\, and developmental biology.

The informational friction is not only the source of nominal rigidity but also an impediment to the coordination of production. The main lesson is that the optimal monetary policy does not target price stability\; instead\, it leans against the wind in the sense of targeting a negative relation between the nominal price level and real economic activity. This policy serves the goal of inducing the firms to utilize their information and to coordinate their decisions in the best possible manner. An additional contribution is the adaptation of the primal approach of the Ramsey literature to a setting with a rich form of informational friction.\n\njoint with George-Marios Angeletos UID:58617-14520000@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58617 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190325T092708 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Pizza with Profs DESCRIPTION:Come meet our English professors and learn more about Fall 2019 undergraduate English classes. \nSpeed panel format with Q & A session. \nCottage Inn pizza provided!

Yet such solicitations occur against the economic and political background of neoliberalism\, in which all citizens are asked to make sacrifices for the sake of economic health. How does one read\, then\, the discourse of Muslim assimilation in light of the psychological\, political\, and economic realities of neoliberalism? The article explores the transformation of the so called “Jewish question” into the contemporary concern with the “Muslim problem.” Drawing on Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer’s reflections on the affinities between capitalism and fascism (especially their reading of Odysseus)\, as well as Sigmund Freud’s reflections on narcissism and group psychology\, the article analyzes the figure of the sacrificial victim in the context of neoliberalism’s authoritarian tendencies\, and argues that sacrificial figuration allows us to think past the polarizations (West/rest\; Muslims/Trump supporters) of our contemporary historical moment.\n\nKeywords: Islam\, minority\, assimilation\, neoliberalism\, psychoanalysis\n\nSponsored by Critical Contemporary Studies and the Global Postcolonial Collective with generous contributions from the Nineteenth-Century Forum UID:54659-13629713@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54659 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Contemporary Literature,Diaspora,immigration,Inclusion,Literature,Media,Politics,Theory LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3154 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190313T132406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190327T190000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Colonialism and Spatial Histories of Migration: the Caribbean Diaspora\" DESCRIPTION:This lecture asks how the spatial politics of migration have been inflected by histories of colonialism. Using the example of the Anglo-Caribbean island of Barbados and its majority African-descended population\, Osayimwese examines migration to the Global North as a response to the inequitable structure of plantation society. She shows that migration fundamentally transformed the structure of Barbadian society by enabling property acquisition through remittances. The remittance landscape that ensued\, however\, encompassed both land and houses on the island and property purchased in receiving countries\, which remain connected by particular Afro-Caribbean approaches to land ownership and modes of dwelling.\n\nItohan Osayimwese is an architectural and urban historian. She is assistant professor of history of art and architecture at Brown University. She engages with theories of modernity\, postcoloniality\, and globalization to analyze German colonial architecture\, urban design\, and visual culture\; modern architecture in Germany\; African and African diaspora material cultural histories\; and the architecture of development in Africa. Another research interest is the architectural and urban lives of religious cults. She received a BA from Bryn Mawr College\, an M.Arch. from Rice University\, then a master’s and PhD in the history of architecture from the University of Michigan A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.

Al-Ghazālī and the Foundations of Medieval Islamic Ontology\, Epistemology\, and Scientific Inquiry DESCRIPTION:Medieval Muslim scientists trace most of their foundational ontological and epistemological underpinnings to Al-Ghazālī’s (1058-1111 CE) contribution in bridging the gap between scholastic theology (kalām) and scientific inquiry and experimentation. In doing so\, Al-Ghazālī draws on two related subdomains: philology and exegesis. This talk sheds some light on Al-Ghazālī's holistic rational view which informed Medieval Islamic ontology\, epistemology\, and the scientific method\, falling at the nexus of language\, scholastic theology\, Qur’anic hermeneutics\, and the philosophy of science. Al-Ghazālī’s thought has implications for positivism and post-positivism\, including the rejection of the behavioral psychology view of knowing and learning through mere habituation. \n \nMohammad T. Alhawary is Professor of Arabic Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition. In addition to his research in applied linguistics\, his interests lie in the Medieval Arabic grammatical tradition and its interactions with neighboring disciplines such as exegesis\, jurisprudence\, philosophy\, and scholastic theology. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to IslamicStudies@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Navigate your browser/person to the Duderstadt Center Design Studio at 7 PM on Wednesdays for this interactive discussion + workshop with Michelle Sheng.\n\nThis series is a Duderstadt Center MicroFellowship project lead by Michelle Sheng\, a senior in Computer Science and Art & Design who grew up on the internet. Virtual spaces and languages are her home away from home. She hopes to analyze it as critically as any other space that shapes people. As a digital citizen\, her favorite hobbies are checking international Google doodles\, ranking meme variants\, and bookmarking webpages she'll never read like clipping photos out of travel magazines.

How would you find that out? The Center for Michigan has the answers.\n\nThe Center\, founded by Michigan Regent Phil Power in 2006\, works to identify citizen priorities for the state legislature and amplify resident voices straight to Lansing. In 2018\, the Center's public engagement team spoke with 8\,000 residents at 173 events across the state. Their priorities provide a clear to-do list for Michigan's future. \n\nPersonnel from the Center\, led by Alexandra Schmidt\, the Public Engagement Director for the Center\, have been busy sharing results with our Legislature. You will be fortunate to hear from her personally what Michiganders want from the legislature. \n\nAlexandra Schmidt focuses on discerning how state policy impacts residents’ daily lives and amplifying those experiences to achieve stronger public discourse. She holds a bachelor’s degree with high honors and distinction in Urban Studies from the University of Michigan. Before joining the Center for Michigan in 2017\, she worked with HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver\, the Big 10 Network\, TBS\, and Comedy Central.

The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style\, a high-speed collision of Celtic music\, rock\, bluegrass\, funk\, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast—dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition—from the storytelling to the bagpipes. Enter the Haggis returns to The Ark with an as-yet-untitled new release!

Mahler wrote the Sixth Symphony during a particularly happy time\, yet this monumental work seems to portray a vision of tragic events that soon followed.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, the University of Michigan Library\, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR)\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\n  UID:60521-14903602@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Library LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
