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.

PAZ PASTRANA (Director\, Producer\, Cinematographer)\; JASON DE LEÓN (Producer\, Advisor)\; JOHN A. 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.

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.

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. There are elevators on both the east and wends ends of the lobby. The assembly hall is on the fourth floor.\nIf you have a disability that requires an accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at judaicstudies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047.

How does it feel to look ‘critically’ now?” \n\nNow in its third year\, Critical Visualities has grown into a major national conference\, drawing top faculty from across the country in the fields of American studies\, African American studies\, visual culture studies\, performance studies\, media studies\, and literary studies. Designed to offer the University of Michigan community an unparalleled opportunity to engage with these scholars in an unusually intimate setting\, Critical Visualities incites new insights\, new questions\, and new collaborations for presenters and audience members alike.\n\nAs always\, Critical Visualities is particularly attune to the ways in which our interdisciplinary work enables us to engage with current events marked by feelings of shock and urgency about ongoing racial injustice and gendered violence.\n\nSpeakers include: Sarah Bay-Cheng (Bowdoin)\; Kimberly Juanita Brown (Mt.

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.

His book\, Struggling to Define a Nation: American Music and the Twentieth Century\, received the Irving Lowens Memorial Book Award from the Society for American Music. He also served as editor-in-chief for an award-winning reference work\, The Grove Dictionary of American Music\, second edition. \n\nWhat is musical humor? How can a sound be funny? What makes the combination of music and humor distinctive and appealing? Drawing on comic examples across the history of American music\, this presentation examines the rich relationship between music and humor\, first by delving into how composers and musicians produce humor through purely musical means and then by exploring how music generates special comic effects in combination with lyrics\, staging\, performance\, film\, and new forms of media. \n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is Humor\, Comedy\, and Laughter in Everyday Life and Beyond. The next lecture series will start April 4\, 2019. The subject is: Changing Gender Roles.

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.

Archaeology is well equipped to study history as sequences of transformative events linked together loosely by the thread of time\, or as a continuous process of everyday life where time serves as a function of cultural persistence. On a macro-scale the sweeping reconfiguration of human-material relations marked by events and interpreted as cultural change have been at the center of archaeological practice since the first descriptions of ‘cultures’ as convenient analytical and spatio-temporal units of analysis. Within narratives of everyday life\, the emphasis shifted to the mundane\, to the multivocality and messiness of social existence. Corresponding to the decreasing scale of analysis and interpretive context\, the struggle became to present the ways in which people’s repetitive day-to-day practices mattered and figured into broad-scale historical events. In my current project\, I attempt to redirect focus from easily discernible events to political discourse\, to the processes that lead up to change and to the ways in which agency constitutes the textur history. Through the analysis of mortuary practice\, I will present a case study exploring the ways in which members of the Bronze Age Kajászó community engaged in political action surrounding change and persistence in the wake of some momentous transformations.

In his lab\, Dr. Sadovsky utilizes molecular and cellular approaches to decipher mechanisms underlying placental development\, differentiation\, and response to injury. Using cultured primary human placental cells\, genetically-altered mice\, and placental samples from human pregnancies\, his lab examines molecular mechanisms underlying trophoblast response to diverse stressors that adversely influence the homeostatic balance between cell injury and adaptation. Dr. Sadovsky’s research assesses how these stressors contribute to placental dysfunction and fetal growth restriction (FGR)\, which predispose to childhood neurodevelopmental dysfunction and adult metabolic syndrome.

Unfortunately\, it appears challenging to compute DNE limits that simultaneously maintain the system flexibility and incorporate a large portion of the available renewable energy at the minimum cost. In addition\, it is often challenging to accurately estimate the joint probability distribution of the renewable energy. In this paper\, we propose a two-stage distributionally robust optimization model that co-optimizes the power dispatch and the DNE limits\, by adopting an affinely adjustable power re-dispatch and an adjustable joint chance constraint that measures the renewable utilization. Notably\, this model admits a second-order conic reformulation that can be efficiently solved by the commercial solvers (e.g.\, MOSEK). We conduct case studies based on large-size test instances to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and analyze the trade-off among the system flexibility\, the renewable utilization\, and the dispatch cost.\n\nBio:\nBiosketch: Ruiwei Jiang is an Assistant Professor of Industrial & Operations Engineering in the University of Michigan.

Yet\, this powerful technology relies on extremely low power\, vulnerable signals traversing a vast space to reach receivers on the Earth surface or near-Earth space environments. Many complex elements interfere with the signals along their propagation path\, including plasma in the upper atmosphere\, water vapor in the lower troposphere\, as well as physical objects and electromagnetic sources in the user environment. These nuisance factors degrade and limit navigation systems performance. Understanding their effects on navigation signals is the pre-requisite for developing robust navigation technologies that can mitigate these elements impact. Moreover\, these effects enable satellite navigation signals to function as signals-of-opportunity for low cost\, distributed\, passive sensing of our space and local environments. This presentation will first discuss our efforts in developing a worldwide network of software-defined sensors to capture and characterize the effects of the space environment on satellite navigation signals. Based on findings obtained through these sensor networks\, we designed and developed a library of novel algorithms that have demonstrated the capability to mitigate these effects. Some of these algorithms will be highlighted in this presentation. Finally\, I will present case studies demonstrating the potential powerful applications of the satellite navigation sensor network for environmental monitoring.\n\n\nDr. Jade Morton is a Professor at the Ann and H.

Prior to joining CU in 2017\, she was an electrical engineering professor at Colorado State University and Miami University\, a full-time mother\, and a post-doc research fellow at the University of Michigan. Dr. Morton’s research interests lie at the intersection of satellite navigation technologies and remote sensing of the Earth’s space environment\, atmosphere\, and surface.

He argues for this latter claim by treating the city as analogous to the natural\, organic body of a human being: since natural wholes such human bodies are prior to parts and since their parts can no longer perform their function when separated from the functionally complex whole to which they belong\, the same must be true for cities and their parts. And while Aristotle seems to resist the view that cities are themselves natural substances (ultimately\, cities that exist for the sake of living well are the product of the art of lawgiving)\, he frequently naturalizes the city and resorts to analogies between cities and human/animal bodies in order to draw out and explain important features about the city or its constitution\, which he designates as ‘a kind of life of the city’. My purpose in this paper to specify the heuristic and explanatory uses of these analogies between cities and natural\, living bodies. I will first discuss a few relatively innocent uses of this kind of analogy before attempting to offer an interpretation of a more complicated passage in Politics IV 4 in which Aristotle suggests that one can determine the species of cities in exactly the same way as one would compile a complete list of species of animals.

These restricted notations provide good documentation support\, but only provide limited support for semantic analysis. These notations are generally not rich enough to unambiguously specify the requirements of safety-critical systems that\, for example\, involve complex numerical computations or that interact with the physical environment. Examples of these safety-critical systems are autonomous vehicles such as unmanned aircraft systems. This talk advocates the use of expressive formal logics\, such as higher-order logic\, to specify the operational and functional requirement of unmanned systems and to prove the correctness of these requirements. Semantic analysis of requirements written in higher-order logic is supported through the use of interactive theorem provers. Formal models serve as ideal reference implementations of functional requirements. Hence\, formal logics enable software validation techniques where software implementations can be checked against functional requirements in a mechanical way. The Formal Methods group in the Safety-Critical Avionics Systems Branch at NASA Langley Research Center has conducted research on the development and application of formal verification techniques to safety-critical applications of interest to NASA for more than 30 years. This talk illustrates the use of formal methods at NASA Langley Research Center in the development of highly-assured autonomous unmanned aircraft systems. \n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nDr. Cesar Munoz is a senior research computer scientist at the NASA Langley Research Center\, where he leads the Formal Methods Team. Dr. Munoz's primary research interest is the development of formal methods technology for the design\, verification\, and implementation of safety-critical aerospace systems. Dr. Munoz has contributed to the development of highly-assured software for the next generation of air traffic management concepts developed at NASA\, including autonomous unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). In particular\, Dr. Munoz is the main developer of DAIDALUS (Detect and Avoid Alerting Logic for Unmanned\nSystems)\, a software library selected by RTCA SC-228 to be the reference implementation of detect and avoid minimum operational performance standards for UAS included in DO-365. Dr. Munoz is an internationally recognized expert on the computer science field of Formal Methods and has made several contributions to the development of interactive theorem proving technology for industrial\napplications. Prior to joining NASA in 2009\, Dr. Munoz was a Research Fellow at the National Institute of Aerospace. He got his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University of Paris 7\, France\, in 1997.

While technology and science has contributed to advancing Precision Medicine at an accelerated pace\, regulatory bodies have needed to quickly adapt to address the new challenges presented by these novel scientific applications. In addition to ensuring patient safety\, regulatory bodies are heralding enhanced therapeutic effectiveness delivered by new targeted therapies and devices by offering breakthrough designations and expedited regulatory pathways. A key development that is front and center of Precision Medicine is the companion diagnostic to guide patient therapy. Drug and diagnostic manufacturers must collaborate effectively to overcome significant hurdles to identify and co-develop a companion diagnostic which is then contemporaneously approved with its corresponding drug product. This presentation will introduce regulatory concepts affiliated with co-development of drug and diagnostic\, as well as outline the regulatory challenges in realizing Precision Medicine.

Diaspora as Counter Response: Human Rights Stories and Violence Against Women DESCRIPTION:There is no doubt that the Islamists’ rise to power in the 1980s has put Sudan at the center of transnational media attention. Consequently\, the worldwide resurgence of conservatism and right wing politics reanimated a politics of fear and reproduced new clashing discourses over identity\, ethnicity\, and citizenship. Within these contexts\, Amal Hassan Fadlalla examines how the production and circulation of violence narratives about Sudan’s conflicts branded humanity in a neoconservative fashion and shaped the practices of Sudanese activists and their allies in the United States\, the Sudans\, and online. In many temporary and newly formed humanitarian publics\, she argues\, the ethno-gendered representation of Sudanese women (and men) as victims and survivors is transformed into powerful narratives that won them the status of role models within the human rights and humanitarian fields. These representations reproduced Sudanese ethnic divisions and racial politics in new forms in the diaspora and hardened existing gender and class divisions. In response\, many secular Sudanese in the United States and in the Sudan created their own platforms to respond to these new forms of exclusions. These tensions and debates\, Fadlalla argues\, highlight the post-Cold War politics and confrontations among different national and transnational actors over the meanings of rights\, sovereignty\, and global citizenship. \n \nThis talk is based on Amal Hassan Fadlalla’s newly released book “Branding Humanity: Competing Narratives of Rights\, Violence\, and Global Citizenship\,” in which the author treats Sudan—a dispersed nation due to sixty years of violent conflicts—as a site for examining these historical shifts and tensions before the country’s division into two nations states in 2011. \n \nAmal Hassan Fadlalla is Associate Professor of Anthropology\, Women’s Studies\, and Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Her research interests and teaching focus on global issues and perspectives related to gender\, health\, reproduction\, diaspora\, transnationalism\, population\, development\, and human rights and humanitarianism. She holds a B.Sc. and Masters degree in Anthropology from the University of Khartoum\, Sudan\, and a PhD from Northwestern University\, United States. \n \nShe is the author of \"Branding Humanity: Competing Narratives of Rights\, Violence and Global Citizenship\" (Stanford: Stanford University Press\, 2018) and \"Embodying Honor: Fertility\, Foreignness\, and Regeneration in Eastern Sudan\" (Madison: The University of Wisconsin Press\, 2007).

Police supervisors offer their protection to police agents so that agents can collect bribes. In exchange\, police agents must escort a predetermined quota of drivers to their supervisors for the supervisor to take bribes\, and occasionally make monetary transfers to the supervisor. 99% of supervisors’ income and 86% of police agents’ income is financed through hierarchical corruption\, involving the quota system and institutionalized toll fees for police agents. We then use a simple model to explain this organizational form. Based on this model\, we establish three results. First\, consistent with maximization of corrupt revenue for supervisors\, higher quotas are observed in locations where bribe taking by supervisors is relatively more effective\, which amplifies mis-allocation of drivers’ rights to circulate. Second\, through taxation of supervisors\, the adjustment of the hierarchy reduces in half the effect of experimental increases in police agents’ income\, which otherwise induce absenteeism\, traffic congestion\, and decrease harassment of drivers. Third\, hierarchical corruption negatively affects social welfare. Experimentally decreasing the quotas decreases traffic congestion and harassment of drivers\, and leaves police agent effort at collecting private bribes unaffected which\, as suggested by the model\, implies quotas reduce social welfare. These results have two implications. First\, while agents’ revenues from bribes incentivize harassment\, they also incentivize socially productive effort and decrease congestion. Second\, supervisor-agent corrupt strategic interaction has a negative externality on social welfare that was previously ignored.

DESCRIPTION:The mammalian skull performs multiple functions\, including feeding and protecting the brain and sensory organs. Dietary demands are considered a major driver of the evolution of skull morphology in mammals\, but there have been few quantitative tests of the impact of feeding versus other functions on skull morphological diversification across whole mammalian orders. Bats (Order Chiroptera) are an ideal group to investigate this topic because they represent 20% of all mammals\, are highly diverse in terms of cranial morphology\, and encompass nearly the full spectrum of mammal diets and sensory ecologies. In this seminar\, I will explore whether and how the macroevolution of skull shape is related to feeding strategies in bats\, or if other life history traits and behaviors can explain their cranial diversity. I will present results from our current geometric morphometric and phylogenetic comparative analyses\, which are based on 3D representations of bat skulls and jaw muscles generated via micro-CT scanning. I will further discuss these results in the context of behavioral plasticity and performance outputs in a clade of bats that has adaptively radiated.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/Xt8LXqoU8-Q UID:49668-11487553@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49668 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190308T102738 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190328T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190328T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:GradSWE Winter Networking Mixer DESCRIPTION:Join GradSWE for its Winter Networking Mixer where you will be able to interact with faculty from the College of Engineering and industry professionals!

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.

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!

Both show the advantages of ultrafast nonlinear IR spectroscopic technique to decipher hidden physics of exotic molecular materials. \n2D IR of Molecular Polaritons. Molecular vibrational polaritons\, hybrid half-light\, half-matter quasiparticles\, are studied using ultrafast coherent 2D IR spectroscopy. Molecular vibrational-polaritons are anticipated to open opportunities for new photonic and molecular phenomena. Many of these developments hinge on fundamental understanding of physical properties of molecular vibrational polaritons. Using 2D IR spectroscopy to study vibrational-polaritons\, we obtained results that challenge and advance both polariton and spectroscopy fields\, which invokes new development of theory for the spectroscopy\, observation of new nonlinear optical effects and unexpected responses from hidden dark states These results will have significant implications in novel infrared photonic devices\, lasing\, molecular quantum simulation\, as well as new chemistry by tailoring potential energy landscapes. \nHeterogeneous water dynamics templated by self-assembled materials. We report observations of mesoscopically homogeneous but macroscopically heterogenous water dynamics in self-assembled materials by a new\, spatially resolved infrared (IR) pump vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) probe microscope. We found that the strong hydrogen-bond interactions between host molecules and nearby water not only template nearby water networks to adopt the chirality of self-assembled materials\, but also induce resonant energy transfer from ?-CD to nearby water\, which is heterogeneous among domains\, but uniform within domains. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nWei Xiong (UC-San Diego) UID:57406-14186925@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57406 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190320T151120 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190328T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190328T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Whither the map collection: keeping paper maps relevant in a digital age DESCRIPTION:As digital mapping continues to prevail\, library staff become less connected to the physical collections they once managed and these collections are repeated targets for dramatic weeding projects\, meant to liberate highly sought after space.

How\, it asks\, might music’s large-scale form relate to its emotional content? Recent work on musical grammar\, drawing on cognitive linguistics\, understands musical schemas as constructions that pair form and function (Gjerdingen & Bourne 2015\; Zbikowski 2017). In this account\, syntax is not neutral\; instead\, syntax and semantics—the how and why of communication—are interrelated at all levels. This research mainly emphasizes local features\, which fit the temporal constraints of working memory. And some scholars argue that schemas are not relevant to extended formal patterns. For example\, David Huron (2006\, 208) claims that sonata form and rondo form “almost certainly do not evoke different listening schemas.” In the late eighteenth century\, however\, rondos were often identified with a certain character or mood. Here I will discuss a new empirical project on instrumental rondos\, composed between 1770 and 1799. Our corpus analysis and psychological experiments suggest that movements in sonata and rondo form have distinct affective tendencies. The project extends earlier research on acoustic cues for emotion in music and speech\, and it raises questions about how listeners categorize sonata and rondo movements. Finally\, I will interpret these results—and theories of musical grammar more generally—in phenomenological terms. Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s work on “institution” is particularly suggestive here\, connecting musical form and emotion with history\, sociality\, and human embodiment.

Without imposing a future\, what political\, cultural and social questions emerge when we center dignity in thinking beyond solidarity? Specifically with regards to the complimentary\, contested and contradictory relationships between the university and the prison\, who produces and benefits from the creation and production of knowledge? What is considered knowledge? \n\nWhat is the role of Ethnic Studies in how we imagine and create a society not centered and organized around the idea that vengeance is justice\, that punishment should only mean exile and imprisonment? What is the role of the university in the after-life of incarceration and the after-life of detention\, for the communities that students come from\, or in relation to policy or pedagogy? How does/can the university reproduce and undue the prison as a total institution?

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:59301-14728328@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:20190325T213843 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T140000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Critical Visualities 3 DESCRIPTION:The Visual Culture Workshop (VCW) convenes the third annual Critical Visualities Conference in order to ask the timely questions: “What are the political dimensions of the affective charge between art and its audience? Between the critic and the art she engages? How does it feel to look ‘critically’ now?” \n\nNow in its third year\, Critical Visualities has grown into a major national conference\, drawing top faculty from across the country in the fields of American studies\, African American studies\, visual culture studies\, performance studies\, media studies\, and literary studies. Designed to offer the University of Michigan community an unparalleled opportunity to engage with these scholars in an unusually intimate setting\, Critical Visualities incites new insights\, new questions\, and new collaborations for presenters and audience members alike.\n\nAs always\, Critical Visualities is particularly attune to the ways in which our interdisciplinary work enables us to engage with current events marked by feelings of shock and urgency about ongoing racial injustice and gendered violence.\n\nSpeakers include: Sarah Bay-Cheng (Bowdoin)\; Kimberly Juanita Brown (Mt.

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.

With the increasing convergence among measurement science\, big data analytics\, Industrial Internet of Things\, and system miniaturization\, advanced sensing methods has continually pushed the envelope of smart manufacturing. New sensors not only acquire higher resolution data at faster rates\, but also provide local computation for autonomously analyzing the acquired data towards intelligent decision support.\n\nThis talk highlights research on multi-physics sensing methods for improved observability in manufacturing process monitoring\, using polymer injection molding as an example. The design\, characterization\, and realization of a multivariate sensor with acoustic-based data transmission capability for data transmission in a RF-shielded environment\, together with advanced computational methods\, are described. Experiments performed on a production grade injection molding machine demonstrate that a single multivariate sensor can outperform multiple commercial sensors in predicting the quality attributes of injection molded parts. The talk highlights the significance of integrating physics-based sensing with data analytics for advancing the science base and state-of-the-technology to fully realize the potential of smart manufacturing.\n\nBio\nRobert Gao is the Cady Staley Professor of Engineering and Department Chair of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland\, Ohio. Since receiving his Ph.D. degree from the Technical University of Berlin\, Germany in 1991\, he has been working on physics-based sensing methods\, design\, modeling\, and characterization of instrument systems\, stochastic modeling and machine learning techniques for improving the observability of dynamical systems such as manufacturing equipment and processes. The goal of his research is to better understand the physical mechanisms underlying the manufacturing processes and equipment performance degradation\, to ultimately improve process and product quality control.\n\nProf. Gao is a Fellow of the ASME\, IEEE\, SME\, and CIRP (International Academy for Production Engineering)\, and an elected member of the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering.

Neither Mahāyāna Nor Theravāda: Ashin Jinarakkhita and the Indonesian Buddhayāna Movement DESCRIPTION:Widely regarded as the first Indonesian-born Buddhist monk (biksu pertama putra Indonesia)\, Ashin Jinarakkhita took it as his mission to propagate Buddhism in the archipelago nation. His Buddhayāna movement\, which combined the doctrines and practices of Mahāyāna and Theravāda Buddhism\, had a profound impact in Indonesia during the second half of the twentieth century. Ashin Jinarakkhita established an inclusive and nonsectarian monastic community\, consisting of Sangha from various Buddhist traditions. He crafted a vision of Indonesian Buddhism as a diverse\, yet unified religion in line with the motto of “Unity in Diversity” (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika) of the modern Indonesian nation. Later\, he introduced the concept of “Sang Hyang Adi-Buddha” to make Buddhism compatible with the first principle of the Pancasila\, the five philosophical pillars of Indonesia during the New Order era (1966–98). The Buddhayāna movement continues to attract a following of Indonesian people in the twenty-first century. \n \n This presentation draws upon Ashin Jinarakkhita’s career to reconsider the category of Southeast Asian Buddhism in Buddhist Studies. I argue for the need to broaden the category of Southeast Asian Buddhism beyond Theravāda Buddhism on mainland Southeast Asia to include varied forms of Buddhism in maritime Southeast Asia that use Mandarin Chinese\, Southern Chinese dialects\, and Southeast Asian languages in their liturgy and scriptures. Ashin Jinarakkhita’s Buddhayāna movement\, which promoted nonsectarian doctrines and practices to be in line with the national discourse of “Unity in Diversity\,” was a calculated strategy to ensure the survival of Buddhism as a minority religion in the world’s largest Muslim nation. \n \n Jack Meng-Tat Chia is a Senior Tutor in the Department of History at the National University of Singapore and currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Buddhist Studies\, University of California\, Berkeley. His research focuses on Buddhism in maritime Southeast Asia\, Chinese popular religion\, overseas Chinese history\, and Southeast Asia-China interactions. He is currently completing his first book manuscript titled “Monks in Motion: Buddhism and Modernity across the South China Sea\,” which explores the history of Buddhism in inter-Asian contexts and the intersections between national and Buddhist institutional projects in Indonesia\, Malaysia\, and Singapore. Chia is co-editor of Living with Myths in Singapore (2017) and has published articles in journals such as Archiv Orientální\, Asian Ethnology\, China Quarterly\, History of Religions\, Journal of Chinese Religions\, Material Religion\, and Sojourn. His next book project\, “Beyond the Borobudur: Buddhism in Postcolonial Indonesia\,” focuses on the history and development of Buddhism in the world’s largest Muslim country since 1945. \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.

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.

Murman\, NASA Ames Research Center \nDr. Marian Nemec\, NASA Ames Research Center\n\nAbstract:\nComputational fluid dynamics (CFD) has joined the wind tunnel and flight test as a critical aircraft design tool. However\, despite decades of development and its prevalent use in industry\, CFD is still not yet mature. Indeed\, the question on whether a mesh is sufficiently fine or is of good enough quality to achieve the desired accuracy and robustness remains difficult to answer to this day. The root of the problem is the reliance on user’s experience to determine the regions where mesh resolution is necessary\, a task that is not trivial. This dissertation aims to tackle this problem.\n\nGiven a discretization method and an output (e.g.\, lift or drag)\, our algorithm places the element’s vertices and high-order nodes in a fully-automated manner. A Riemannian metric field is used to encode the element’s shape and size and to combine several adaptation methods. The mesh is generated in two stages: 1) generate a linear\, metric-conforming mesh\, and 2) solve an optimization problem to incorporate the high-order information. Unlike the current meshing practice\, the high-order nodes can be clustered as long as the element remains valid. With only marginal increase in computational cost and no additional software complexities\, the final mesh reduces error by at least a factor of two.

In various difference-in-difference style specifications\, we compare regions that were highly and less exposed and find that the employment effect of the minimum wage was limited\; its main consequence was pushing up wages. We also show that individuals at the bottom of the wage distribution did keep their jobs and experienced a wage gain. However\, the lack of employment responses masks large structural shifts in the economy. We show that in response to the minimum wage\, small firms shut down\, while large firms expanded their employment. The minimum wage increased mobility to small\, low paying firms to large\, high paying firms. These pieces of evidence underline the importance of reallocation in understanding the effects of minimum wage.\" UID:59480-14745548@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59480 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181219T142633 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T140000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Phondi Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Phondi is a discussion and research group for students and faculty at U-M and nearby universities who have interests in phonetics and phonology.

In particular\, upper-limb amputations means losing the ability to do many daily activities that are normally simple with intact hands. Prosthesis technology has significantly advanced in the past decade to replicate the mechanical complexity of the human hand. However\, current commercial user-to-prosthesis interfaces fail to provide users with full intuitive control over the many functionalities advanced prosthetic hands can offer. Research in developing new interfaces for better motor control has been on the rise\, focusing on tapping directly into the peripheral nervous system. The aim of this work is to characterize and validate the properties of a novel peripheral interface called the Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface (RPNI) to improve fine motor skills for prosthetic hand control.\n\nThe first study characterizes the use of RPNI signals for continuous hand control in non-human primates. In two rhesus macaques\, we were able to reconstruct continuous finger movement offline with an average correlation of ρ = 0.87 and root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.12 between actual and predicted position across both macaques. During real-time control\, neural control performance was slightly slower but maintained an average target hit success rate of 96.70% compared to physical hand control. The results presented in this study demonstrate an important step in exploring the RPNI’s potential capabilities to provide patients with more naturalistic control of their prosthetic limbs.\n\nThe second study presents the viability of the RPNI in humans who have suffered from upper-limb amputations. In three participants with transradial amputations\, ultrasound demonstrated strong contractions of P1 and P2’s median RPNIs during flexion of the phantom thumb\, and ulnar RPNI contractions during small finger flexion. In P1\, the median RPNI and ulnar RPNIs produced signals with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 4.62 and 3.80\, respectively. In P2\, the median RPNI and ulnar RPNI had an average SNR of 107 and 35.9\, respectively\, while P3’s median RPNI and ulnar RPNIs had an average SNR of 22.3 and 19.4\, respectively. This study provides evidence that the transected peripheral nerves have reinnervated the RPNI muscle grafts allowing RPNIs to transduce and amplify efferent motor action potentials during volitional individual finger movements.\n\nThe final study characterizes the capabilities of RPNI signals to predict continuous finger position in human subjects. Two participants\, P2 and P3\, successfully hit targets during a center-out target task with 92.4 ± 2.3% accuracy\, controlling RPNI-driven one DOF finger movements. Comparably\, non-RPNI driven finger movement had similar accuracy and performance. Without recalibrating parameter coefficients\, no decreasing trend in motor performance was seen for all one DOF finger control across 300 days for P2 and 40 days for P3\, suggesting that RPNIs can generate robust control signals from day to day. Lastly\, using RPNI-driven control\, P2 and P3 successfully manipulated a two DOF virtual and physical thumb with 96.4 ± 2.5% accuracy. This study demonstrates that RPNIs are capable of robust continuous control of one DOF finger movements and also capable of providing two DOF thumb movements. RPNIs may be a viable option to advance peripheral nerve interfaces into clinical reality and enhance neuroprosthetic technology for people with limb loss.\n\n Chair: Cynthia Chestek UID:62286-15344248@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62286 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Lurie Robert H.

Using a variety of methodologies\, my research has uncovered is that many cultural differences reflect a simple\, but often invisible distinction: The strength of social norms. Tight cultures have strong social norms and little tolerance for deviance\, while loose cultures have weak social norms and are highly permissive. The tightness or looseness of social norms turns out to be a Rosetta Stone for human groups. It illuminates similar patterns of difference across nations\, states\, organizations\, and social class\, and the template also explains differences among traditional societies. It’s also a global fault line: conflicts we encounter can spring from the structural stress of tight-loose tension\, and our data show that they have important implications for success in international mergers & acquisitions and expatriate adjustment\, and can also help to explain some of today’s most puzzling political trends and events. An understanding of this template can help us develop more empathy and to bridge out cultural divides.

However\, this approach neglects the journey of the keypress\, which starts while participants are waiting for a trial to begin\, progresses after a stimulus appears\, and ends with an actual response. In this talk\, I will introduce a new approach for measuring the journey of the keypress\, which employs force-sensitive keyboards similar to those used by video gamers. As an example\, I will show how using such keyboards\, which can detect changes in mass smaller than one gram at 200 Hz\, has allowed me to distinguish between competing accounts of cognitive control. I will also discuss how such keyboards can be used to explore other psychological processes.

The field of LCA is evolving to incorporate increased geographic specificity by utilizing GIS and satellite data and conducting site-specific analyses\, which has led to important conclusions for bioenergy and renewable energy systems. Dr. Fortier will cover how geographic data has been integrated into LCAs of various energy systems through her research. Methods were developed to incorporate land use and albedo change impacts into a geographically specific LCA of green gasoline from wastewater microalgae. The results of this geographically specific algal biofuel LCA demonstrate the importance of direct land use and albedo change impacts to the sustainability of algal green gasoline and how these effects vary widely by ecoregion in the United States. Substantial differences in geographically specific climate change impacts can also be observed at smaller resolutions\, as demonstrated through a willow biomass LCA performed by tax parcel and county in upstate New York. In this study\, the soil carbon change impacts and transportation differences by site affect the life cycle climate change impacts of willow biomass delivered to a bioenergy power plant. Most recently\, Dr. Fortier’s research group has completed the first study that shows how the carbon footprint of an ocean energy system changes based on the location installed. Although its importance has now been demonstrated for bioenergy LCAs\, geographically specific methodology is novel to LCAs of mechanical energy systems like tidal turbines. The results of this geographic LCA indicate that even in some sites that were identified as “hotspots” for tidal energy deployment on US coasts\, electricity from tidal turbines can have higher life cycle greenhouse gas emissions than electricity from natural gas (500 g CO2eq/kWh) and coal power plants (1000 g CO2eq/kWh) due to low electricity generation over the tidal turbine lifetime relative to the emissions arising from the production of the infrastructure and materials. As we improve the geographic specificity of LCA\, our collective understanding of how the sustainability of bioenergy and renewable energy systems changes by location also improves and allows for the siting of new systems that optimize a reduction in life cycle climate change impacts.\n\nBRIEF BIO:\nDr. Marie-Odile Fortier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California\, Merced. From 2015 to 2018\, she was an Assistant Professor at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF) in the Department of Forest and Natural Resources Management\, contributing to the Sustainable Energy Management program. She has a PhD in Environmental Engineering from the University of Kansas (2015) and a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering and Sciences from the University of Florida (2010). She was awarded the college-wide 2017 Distinguished Teaching Award at SUNY ESF. Dr. Fortier’s research focuses on the geographically specific life cycle environmental impacts of sustainable energy systems\, including land use change and albedo change impacts. She uses life cycle assessment\, GIS\, and mathematical modeling to investigate whether the carbon footprint of different energy systems varies spatially and she develops new methodology to increase applications of life cycle assessment to sustainable energy planning.

This lack of focus leads to much noise\, which reduces the understanding by the audience. Much of the problem arises from speakers following PowerPoint’s defaults and building their talks on phrase headlines supported by bulleted lists. This seminar presents the assertion-evidence approach (http://www.assertion-evidence.com) to designing research presentations. In this approach\, the speaker builds the talk on key messages supported by visual evidence. Our research has found that assertion-evidence talks are more focused and much better understood by audiences. In addition\, our speakers (even those initially nervous about making presentations) report that using the assertion-evidence approach has given them more confidence. Before this seminar\, participants are encouraged to download a template from http://www.assertion-evidence.com/templates.html and create a couple of slides for their next research presentation. Participants are also encouraged to view the following model research presentations by graduate students.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\nHolding a master of science in electrical engineering and a master of fine arts in writing\, Michael Alley is an associate teaching professor of engineering communication at Penn State. He is the author of The Craft of Scientific Presentations (Springer\, 2013)\, which has been translated to Japanese and Chinese\, and The Craft of Scientific Writing (Springer\, 2018).

The firm faces a basic tradeoff between fostering collaboration among its employees and efficiently adapting its decisions to its circumstances. If the firm commits to choosing the project which is most profitable ex-post\, it undermines its employees’ motive to collaborate\, causing ex-ante inefficiency. We solve for the firm’s optimal policy. It entails an early phase of intense competition\, followed by a permanent regime of collaboration. In service to ex-ante optimality\, arbitrarily severe ex-post inefficiencies must be tolerated.\n\n(joint with Joyee Deb and Aditya Kuvalekar) UID:58623-14520007@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 301 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190326T081356 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190329T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ancient Philosophy: Mariska Leunissen (UNC Chapel Hill) DESCRIPTION:For Aristotle\, every scientific investigation starts with the collection and organization of facts: only once we have established the 'hotis' - the 'thats' - of any given scientific domain\, we can then proceed to investigate their causes and provide explanations or demonstrations of those facts. The fact collecting stage in Aristotle's natural sciences is thoroughly empirical: Aristotle stresses the importance of acquiring observational experience\, of observing phenomena for the sake of knowledge\, and of giving credence to observations over theory in cases where the facts have not yet been sufficiently grasped. My aim in this paper is to reconstruct and critically discuss (1) Aristotle's strategies for establishing facts in his natural sciences in those cases where observations are altogether lacking or insufficient to determine with any certainty whether the facts are such or so (e.g. 'whether the universe is spherical or lentil-shaped' in his cosmology\, or 'whether the gestation period of elephants is one years or two years long' in his biology) and (2) also his strategies for evaluating putative empirical facts as reported by others in those cases where Aristotle would not have been able to verify those facts himself through observation. I will argue that in empirically underdetermined domains\, Aristotle's epistemic goal in establishing facts is not knowledge but credence\, and that he relies heavily on circumstantial empirical evidence\; on arguments based on 'what can reasonably be expected to be the case'\, given observations of other\, related phenomena\; and on ingenious methods of 'weighing' the evidential force of competing sets of inconclusive observations in an attempt to establish and evaluate natural facts in a scientific way.

It is written from the perspective of Palestinians who were able to remain on their land in what became Israel in 1948. Habiby highlights a number of reunions that take place in this period\, when some Palestinian refugees are able to visit relatives from whom they have been separated for nearly 20 years\, and cities and towns from which were expelled. While these brief and incomplete reunions take place in the shadow of catastrophic circumstances\, they nonetheless provide an occasion to take stock of physical\, psychological\, and spiritual damage\, and to assess any hopes of repair. In this short presentation\, I will discuss my translation of Habiby’s collection (a work in progress) and propose a theoretical framework for understanding the impact of national displacement on modes of storytelling. Habiby’s style offers readers a close look at the ways his characters experience the sensations of everyday life amid national trauma. The striking dialogism at play within the text is not only indicative of rifts in individual psyches\, but also of the utterance’s inherent inclination toward others.\n\n\nProf. Christopher Hill\, \"Toward a Chronogeography of the Naturalist Novel\"\nIn the decades after the variety of literary realism known as naturalism emerged in France in the 1860s\, in the work of Emile Zola and the Goncourt brothers\, it was widely adopted by writers around the world. By the turn of the twentieth century self-described naturalists were working from the Americas to East Asia. As it traveled\, the topics\, themes\, and techniques of naturalist fiction changed in ways that could not have been predicted from its origins. Current paradigms for explaining literary history on a large scale rely on categories derived from the literary history of a handful of European countries and are unable to treat works that differ from the categorical norms as anything but deviations. My talk uses examples from the history of the naturalist novel to propose alternative approaches to large-scale literary history.

Many concepts like energy landscapes\, free energy\, and phase transitions can be usefully carried over from physics to machine learning and computer science. At the very least\, these techniques are a source of conjectures that have stimulated new work in probability\, combinatorics\, and theoretical computer science. At their best\, they offer strong intuitions about the structure of inference problems and possible algorithms for them.\n\nOne recent success of this interface is the discovery of a phase transition in community detection in sparse graphs. Analogous transitions exist in many other inference problems\, where our ability to find patterns in data jumps suddenly as a function of how noisy they are. I will discuss why and how this detectability transition occurs\, review what is known rigorously\, and present a number of open questions that cry out for proofs.

Unfortunately\, groundwater supplies are not alone in being threatened by native contaminations.  Often correlating with groundwater contamination is a second major threat from naturally occurring contaminants\, and particularly arsenic:  Food production.  Of the major cereal crops\, rice is uniquely susceptible to reductions in yield and grain quality resulting from soil-borne arsenic.  Further exacerbating the impacts of arsenic on rice production are temperature increases that both induce plant stresses and enhance soil microbial activity.  The combined impacts of projected temperatures for the year 2100 coupled with soil arsenic endemic to the major rice growing regions of Asia lead to a yield reduction exceeding 40% compared to current conditions.  Further\, at any soil arsenic concentrations\, inorganic grain arsenic levels double for every 5 C change in temperature.  In order to sustain future grain production\, rice varieties and soil management practices will need to evolve rapidly to minimize the arsenic-temperature impacts.

The availability of low-cost natural gas\, the Fukushima nuclear accident\, and the cancellation of the AP1000 V.C. Summer project has caused a considerable role in ending the short-lived “Nuclear Renaissance.” Historically\, the nuclear industry has focused on direct cost reduction through construction\, increasing installed capacity\, and improving efficiencies to capacity factors in the 1990s and 2000s as a strategy to maintain competitiveness against other forms of energy generation. With renewables serving as an emerging low-carbon competitor\, an added focus needs to be placed on indirect methods to increase the competitiveness of nuclear power and examining the risk associated with widespread deployment.\n\nIn this talk I will present two papers that explores the different pathways nuclear power can be competitive with other forms of electricity generation given its advantages environmentally and through improved safety. The first paper utilizes a life cycle assessment model to estimate the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)\, Generation II\, and Generation III+ nuclear power plants. The second paper focuses risk associated with deployment of SMRs and estimating environmental dose exposure in a post-accident scenario to support scalable emergency planning zones (EPZs). This study includes calculating radionuclide inventory\; estimating the impact decontamination factors from the AP1000\, NUREG-6189\, and EPRI’s Experimental Verification of Post-Accident iPWR Aerosol Behavior test will have on radioactivity within containment\; and estimate dose exposure using atmospheric dispersion models. Finally\, I will continue with the theme of examining risk associated with deployment by touching on some current work where I am quantify the nuclear proliferation risks associated with the introduction of Generation III+ and IV nuclear power plants sourced from Chinese and Russian-based vendors to emerging markets using expert elicitation and Bayesian Belief Networks.\n\nBio: Travis Carless is a Stanton Nuclear Security Postdoctoral Fellow at the RAND Corporation and a President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University.

They were among a wave of artists in different disciplines who explored alternatives to stable\, unified\, and repeatable artworks and performances. Piekut intends to survey this shared impulse and its relationship with improvisational modes of creative practice\, and to develop the notion of a “fetter of improvisation” that emerges in these years\, seemingly to compensate for the loss of repeatable works. In addition to the uncertainties of ever-changing artworks\, he will show\, artists of the late 1960s faced novel problematics of shared authorship.

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.

Those who think otherwise are living in a fool's paradise\"\, says Perween's best friend and colleague Anwar Rashid as he navigates the chaotic roads of Karachi. An architect and urban planner\, Perween Rahman dedicated her life for the poor of Pakistan. She was shot dead by armed assailants on her way home in March 2013. When she joined the Karachi based Orangi Pilot Project\, founded by Dr. Akhtar Hameed Khan\, Orangi's lanes were full of filth and choking gutters. Back in the early 80s\, the people of Orangi\, most of them migrants from India and Bangladesh\, were taking their own steps to improve sanitation. Dr. Khan assigned Perween the task of developing a low cost sanitation model for Orangi. Perween's pioneering work in Orangi led her on a collision course with the various mafias in the city. She surveyed the water supply to Karachi and pinpointed locations from where water is being stolen from the bulk supply lines. She mapped and documented Karachi's informal settlements to provide the poor security against land grabbers. Perween had an alternate vision for the development of Karachi. \"Development doesn't come from concrete. Development is not five star hotels and mega road projects. What we need is human development.\" \n \nAbout the Director: \nMahera Omar is a documentary filmmaker and co-founder of the Pakistan Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology. After a brief stint doing laboratory research on the structure of proteins at the Tufts University Department of Biochemistry\, she moved back to the city by the sea\, Karachi. While in college\, she co-produced and directed Dispatches from the Loo\, a feature film about a love triangle shot entirely in a loo. Her short film Piano premiered at the vintage 3rd Kara Film Festival. Her other short films include Makhan Toast\, Time's fun when you're having files and Aik tha jin. She directed Janu Janwar\, a weekly series on animals for Geo Television. Her documentary Sea Turtles was nominated for the Humane Society of the United States 22nd Genesis Award in the Brigitte Bardot International category. She's currently working on a feature length documentary about the birds of Karachi\, and is on a dream journey recording qawwali and classical music across Pakistan. \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 Friend the Polish Girl DESCRIPTION:From Cannes and Telluride nominee Ewa Banaszkiewicz and Mateusz Dymek comes a fiction film that takes the form of a first-time filmmaker’s documentary. MY FRIEND THE POLISH GIRL (87 min.\, 2018) borrows from cinema verite and video bloggers to create a rare naturalism in style and performance. The fiction film watches as an experimental documentary told through the eyes (and lens) of amateur filmmaker Katie: an American rich kid following Alicja\, an erratic unemployed Polish actress. Set in a post-Brexit-vote London\, Katie’s colonising\, disruptive presence in Alicja’s life mirrors the treatment of migrants in the UK: welcomed\, used\, then discarded. A raw\, sexual\, and visually brash film exploring the abusive power and control over someone’s intimacy. Directed by Ewa Banaszkiewicz. \n\nFounded in 1963\, the Ann Arbor Film Festival is internationally recognized as a premier forum showcasing the most creative and unique films of today’s preeminent moving image artists who cross boundaries\, defy expectations\, and experiment with concepts and techniques. The six-day festival presents 40 programs with more than 200 films from over 20 countries of all lengths and genres.

The conversation they have opens up the floodgates of every problem between them\; all of the secrets they've kept from one another\, everything they are too afraid to say. Preston suggests a solution—a drinking game. The rules of the game dictate that they pour six shots and ask each other honest\, essential questions about the nature of their relationship. At any time\, if someone wants to kill a topic or doesn't want to answer the question\, they take a shot.

Transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy has been the key to economic growth and energy security in China. \n\nDespite nearly mature solar\, wind and hydropower technologies\, how to better put such technologies into the wider market is becoming a problem we need to solve in the future. Improving battery efficiency of electric vehicles\, expanding charging infrastructure\, and introducing supportive benefits and policies for electric vehicles will be the key to reducing air pollution and making transportation and cities cleaner. The cap-and-trade regime is featured with its market-based regulation and economic incentives\, giving each regulated company a limited permission of GHG emission and allowing trade of permission between companies. However\, a deeper and more comprehensive look into cap-and-trade system is needed to help mitigate climate change.\n\nSeveral panelists from various backgrounds are invited to talk about renewable energy\, electric vehicles and carbon trade system\, both in China and across the world.

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.

Alcina debuted at the Covent Garden Theatre in London in 1735 to great acclaim. Just a few of the exquisite arias are the famous “Tornami a vagheggiar\,” “Verdi prati\,” and “Ah\, mio cor.” Today\, the opera is considered to be one of the composer’s greatest. A moving story of love’s fickleness and faithfulness\, Alcina features some of Handel’s most alluring music.

Religious and ritual objects\, on the other hand\, stimulate an array of multisensory experiences. Focusing on works from UMMA’s collection associated with different types of Japanese Buddhism\, we engage all of the six senses in this exhibition. These six are integral to Buddhist devotion: sight\, hearing\, smell\, touch\, taste\, and mind (or the activity of thinking\, including what is perceived via the other senses). The “Six Senses” gallery experience extends beyond vision to include: the sound of chanting and ritual implements\; the fragrance of incense\; the feel of bronze\, ceramic\, and silk\; and the creation of mental images. Gain a deeper understanding of the nature and histories of objects used in Buddhist practice with a docent tour of this fascinating exhibition.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

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.

The negative association between stress and cognition may be mediated by depressive symptoms\, which separate studies have identified as both a consequence of chronic stress and a risk factor for cognitive decline. Pathways linking stress\, depressive symptoms\, and cognition may also be influenced by sociodemographic characteristics (i.e.\, gender\, race & ethnicity) or modifiable psychosocial resources (i.e.\, social support\, perceived control). Using data from the Washington Heights-Inwood Columbia Aging Project\, the goal of this cross-sectional study was to enhance understanding of the mechanisms and modifiability of the stress-cognition link in a racially and ethnically diverse sample of older adults.

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.

Using data on physicians' referrals to surgical specialists\, I find that the referring physician views patient outcomes differently depending on the performing surgeon's gender. Physicians become more pessimistic about a female surgeon's ability than a male's after a patient death\, indicated by a sharper drop in referrals to the female surgeon. However\, physicians become more optimistic about a male surgeon's ability after a good patient outcome\, indicated by a larger increase in the number of referrals the male surgeon receives. After a bad experience with one female surgeon\, physicians also become less likely to refer to new female surgeons in the same specialty. There are no such spillovers to other men after a bad experience with one male surgeon. Consistent with learning models\, physicians' reactions to events are strongest when they are beginning to refer to a surgeon. However\, the empirical patterns are only consistent with Bayesian learning if physicians do not have rational expectations about the true distribution of surgeon ability.

However\, scRNA-seq data are subject to a large number of technical effects. In this work\, we present two approaches that can be applied for removing technical effects from scRNA-seq data in downstream analyses. The first part introduces different concepts of stably expressed genes with respect to true biological expression. Different classes of stably expressed genes may capture different technical effects\, assisting in the removal of these technical effects and increasing the biological interpretability of later results. We find that genes associated with the cytosolic ribosomal structure of cells are enriched with genes that are stably expressed in proportion to the total RNA content of a cell. The cytosolic ribosomal genes can serve as a foundation for a gene set incorporated into normalization procedures to remove some technical effects associated with cell size. The second part describes a procedure to analyze which genes are captured with more accuracy from scRNA-seq experiments. The number of reads captured for each unique molecular identifier (UMI) informs how well a specific gene is captured within a dataset. Reliably detectable genes can then be applied to downstream analyses\, correcting for additional technical effects. Together\, these two projects provide two approaches to identifying genes that capture technical effects in scRNA-seq data and can be applied to later normalization procedures.

We show that by sampling and anonymously interviewing people who are online\, researchers can learn about both people who are online and people who are offline. Our approach is based on the insight that people everywhere are connected through in-person social networks\, such as kin\, friendship\, and contact networks. We illustrate how this insight can be used to derive an estimator for tracking the *digital divide* in access to the internet\, an increasingly important dimension of population inequality in the modern world. We conducted a large-scale empirical test of our approach\, using an online sample to estimate internet adoption in five countries (n≈15\,000). Our test embedded a randomized experiment whose results can help design future studies. Our approach could be adapted to many other settings\, offering one way to overcome some of the major challenges facing demographers in the information age.\nRelated Material:\nPersonal website\nBIO:\n\nProfessor Feehan's research interests lie at the intersection of networks\, demography\, and quantitative methodology.

Each day seems to bring a new documentary\, biography\, posthumous record release\, or Lifetime Achievement Award for such artists as Aretha Franklin\, Donny Hathaway\, Nina Simone\, and Marvin Gaye. This talk asks what is at stake in the national soul revival\, and offers new ways to conceive of the music called soul\, both in the Black Power era and in the 21st century. Reading recent representations of the music alongside earlier recordings and performances\, I posit soul as a mutable legacy of collective black resilience—one that at times reproduces and at other times resists the individualizing thrust of neoliberal ideology.\n\nThe Department of American Culture has invited Emily Lordi\, an Associate Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst\, to give the inaugural Betty Ch’maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture\, an annual event established to honor the legacy of Ch’maj\, the first Ph.D. of the American Culture program at the University of Michigan. Professor Lordi’s public talk will take place on Monday\, April 1\, 4-5:30 at Room 100 at the Hatcher Library Gallery. Her talk will draw from her forthcoming monograph Keeping On: Soul\, Black Music\, Resilience.\n\nProfessor Lordi is the author of Black Resonance: Iconic Women Singers and African American Literature (2013)\, and Donny Hathaway Live (2016)\, part of the famed 33 1/3 popular music book series published by Bloomsbury. Professor Lordi has published in prominent journals such as the Journal of Popular Music Studies\, New Centennial Review\, and Palimpsest\, as well as edited volumes like The Cambridge Companion to the American Modernist Novel\, and the forthcoming Keywords in African American Studies. In addition to scholarly publication\, Professor Lordi has been a regular contributor to prestigious venues like The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, NPR\, The Root\, The Fader\, and the Los Angeles Review of Books as a cultural critic. She received a B.A. at Vassar College in 2001\, and her Ph.D. at Columbia University in 2009.\n\nAbout the Betty Ch’maj Lecture: With generous support from the Ch’maj family\, the Annual Betty Ch’maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture Series was established to honor the legacy of Betty Ch’maj. Ch'maj\, who was awarded the very first Ph.D. in American Culture in 1961 at Michigan\, continued her career researching American literature and music\, founding the Radical Caucus of ASA\, and working to challenge systematic gender discrimination in American Studies programs.

If we know what to look for\, we can learn about the conditions in the neutrino-driven wind and the impact of collective flavor oscillations.\n UID:62586-15407988@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62586 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190326T103914 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190401T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190401T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Inaugural Lecture: Honoring Professor Robert M. Sellers on his Appointment to the Charles D. Moody Professorship in Psychology DESCRIPTION:In his seminal work\, \"Souls of Black Folk\"\, W. E. B. DuBois (1903) suggested the only way that African Americans can develop healthy self-concepts within American society is to come to \"an understanding\" within themselves regarding the duality of their status as African and American. We argue that the nature of \"this understanding\" varies across African Americans. Our research has attempted to explicate and describe the role that race plays in the psychological lives of African Americans. This research has focused on the racial identities that African Americans hold\, the processes by which African Americans transmit attitudes and beliefs about the meaning of race across generations to their children\, as well as documenting their experiences with racial discrimination and the consequences of such experiences. Our research program has attempted to place African American's experiences at the center and explicitly recognize their humanity as core assumptions of our analyses. The current presentation provides a brief overview of our work. In doing so\, we also honor the legacy of Prof. Charles D. Moody.

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.

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:59301-14728332@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:20180718T090617 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190402T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190402T100000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Junior Faculty Speaker Series DESCRIPTION:TBD UID:53063-13217922@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/53063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Politics LOCATION:Haven Hall - 5670-- Eldersveld CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181010T101055 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190402T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190402T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:24th Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners DESCRIPTION:March 20 - April 3\, 2019\nSunday - Monday\, 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM\nTuesday - Saturday\, 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM\nDuderstadt Center Gallery\, University of Michigan North Campus\, 2281 Bonisteel Blvd.\, Ann Arbor\, MI UID:52905-13140165@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52905 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Free LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - 2281 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190227T145015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190402T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190402T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments DESCRIPTION:John was born in Tokyo\, Japan in 1971. His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

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.

In particular\, complex crystalline structures can be assembled from anisotropic colloids exclusively via entropic excluded-volume interaction. These emergent interactions can be quantified and explained via directional entropic forces (DEFs). Here we study the emergent arrangement in a much simpler system of finite density lattice dimers. We propose a new computational paradigm based on tensor network contraction that does not rely on Monte Carlo sampling. Computing DEFs for the dimers with this method poses new types of questions in study of lattice models in statistical physics. We indicate the ways in which tensor networks can serve as a new graphic language to discuss rigorous computations in statistical physics.

During the Song dynasty (960–1279)\, the studio became a significant cultural space for literati. This talk will analyze the attributes of this cultural space by going beyond the studio\, in terms of its relationship with its natural surroundings. In Song literary and pictorial representations\, this interplay between the studio and its surrounding scenery is represented as the \"mise-en-abyme\,\" through which nature and culture are continuously framed\, transformed\, and intertwined. \n \nYunshuang Zhang is currently a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Classical and Modern Languages\, Literatures\, and Cultures at Wayne State University. She received her Ph.D. in classical Chinese literature and culture from the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at UCLA in 2017. She obtained her M.A. and B.A. in Chinese Literature from Peking University\, China. Her research interests center on the literature and literati culture during Middle Period China (800–1400). She is now working on her book project\, entitled “Porous Privacy: The Literati Studio and Spatiality in Song China.” This project examines the privacy of the studio space and the way by which it works as a medium for the reproduction of literati culture. \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.

This is quite different from the way humans learn motions where searches (trials) for new behaviors are embodied and accompanied by feedback actions. The talk will provide a discussion of the second assignment (feedback controller design) for the case when a feedback controller is requested to ensure a Poincare (or the same orbital) stability of a forced periodic solution of a nonlinear dynamical system. Geometric interpretations of the problem settings motivate introducing specific coordinates (transverse to the motion and along the motion) that help in defining math concepts and computational tools necessary for solving the stabilization task for smooth or hybrid nonlinear systems. The development is illustrated by examples of controlling gaits of walking robots and hand manipulations of passive objects with one or several passive degrees of freedom. \n\nRefreshments will be served.

By way of the rooms\, houses\, buildings\, debris\, and other architectural sites left behind by the disappeared\, these writers and artists imagine another relationship to absence that resists what they see as the false coherence and closure of visual data.\n\n\nJesús Costantino is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of New Mexico where he teaches and conducts research in American literature\, film\, and media. He has recently completed his first book manuscript\, Boxing and the Racial Origins of Early-Twentieth-Century Media Technologies\, in which he traces the racial genealogies of “presence” and “live experience” through the mutually constitutive forms of modern boxing and new visual media. He is now beginning work on a second book-length project\, Under the Sign of Disaster Triumphant: The Colonial Legacies of Late-Capitalist Ruins in the Americas\, in which he interrogates the ways in which depictions of contemporary urban ruin and natural disaster in the US and Latin America remediate the colonial past.

In ULRRMs\, one or more ground-state atoms are bound to an atom in a highly excited Rydberg state through atom-electron scattering. Background atoms experience a potential that is given by the shape of the Rydberg-electron probability distribution\, and the photo-excitation rate is proportional to the probability of finding atoms in the original ultracold gas with appropriate atomic configurations. In the low-density\, few-body regime\, ULRRMs can be created with well-defined internuclear spacing\, set by the radius of the outer lobe of the Rydberg electron wavefunction. For the most-deeply bound dimer molecular state in particular\, the excitation rate is proportional to the pair-correlation function\, g^2(R)\, of the initial sample\, and R can be scanned by varying the principal quantum number of the target Rydberg state. We demonstrate this with ultracold\, non-degenerate strontium gases and pair-separation length scales from R=1000-3000$ a_0\, which is on the order of the thermal de Broglie wavelength for temperatures around 1 mu_K. Quantum statistics results in bunching for a single-component Bose gas of ^{84}Sr and Pauli exclusion for a polarized Fermi gas of ^{87}Sr. In the many-body regime the Rydberg atom is dressed by many background atoms\, and for fermions the shape of the excitation spectrum can be explained in terms of Pauli blocking in the filled molecular orbitals of the final state. ULRRM excitation can be nearly non-destructive\, and the time scale for molecule formation (~1 mu s) is also much faster than the inverse chemical potential or Fermi energy in quantum gases\, potentially making this a valuable new probe of spatial correlations in many-body systems.\n\nResearch supported by the AFOSR (FA9550-14-1-0007)\, and the Robert A\, Welch Foundation (C-1844)\n\nCollaborators\n\nF.

Space and Spirit\, or How to make a Historical Atlas of Hasidism DESCRIPTION:Marcin Wodzinski has produced the first cartographic reference book on Hasidism\, one of the modern era's most vibrant and important mystical movements. In this lecture\, he will discuss Hasidism's emergence and expansion in Eastern Europe\; its spread to the New World\; and its remarkable postwar rebirth. Wodzinski’s innovative mapping allows him to show to what extent Hasidism dominated the Eastern European Jewry\, which Hasidic dynasties were strongest and why\, and how the Hasidim resurrected in the Post-Holocaust era. \n \nMarcin Wodziński (b. 1966) was born and raised in Silesia\, Poland. He currently works at the Department of Jewish Studies\, University of Wrocław\, Poland\, where he is professor of Jewish history and literature. His research focuses on the history and culture of East European Jews in modern times\, especially the Haskalah and Hasidism. Of his recent publications\, he is most proud of \"Historical Atlas of Hasidism\" (2018) and \"Hasidism: Key Questions\" (2018). \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to copernicus@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Areas of research include: (1) Investigation of resting-state brain connectivity with multi-modal imaging approaches (fMRI\, MEG\, and EEG)\; (2) Characterization and modeling of the hemodynamic response to neural activity\, including the effects of drugs such as caffeine\; (3) Development and optimization of arterial spin labeling MRI methods for the non-invasive measurement of cerebral blood flow\; (4) Design and analysis of experiments for functional MRI (fMRI)\, with an emphasis on statistical optimization\, nonlinear signal processing\, and physiological noise reduction\; and (5) Development of quantitative fMRI methods for the study of Alzheimer's disease and associated disorders\n\nPresentation Title: The Global Signal\, Vigilance Fluctuations\, and Nuisance Regression in Resting State fMRI\n\nAbstract: \n\nResting-state fMRI (rsfMRI) is now a widely used method to assess the functional connectivity (FC) of the brain. However\, the mechanisms underlying rsfMRI are still poorly understood. In this talk I will address several related aspects of the rsfMRI signal. The first is the global signal\, which represents the whole brain average signal and has been widely used as a regressor for removing the effects of global variations in resting-state activity. I will discuss the controversy surrounding global signal regression and describe new approaches for minimizing global signal effects. A related topic concerns the origins of global activity in the brain. There is growing evidence that a considerable portion of this global activity arises from fluctuations in vigilance and arousal. I will discuss the recent findings in this area and discuss the implications for the analysis and interpretation of rsfMRI studies. Finally\, I will describe recent empirical and theoretical work demonstrating the limitations of regression based methods that are widely used to minimize the effects of nuisance components in rsfMRI studies.

This talk\, however\, brings the film and novel together to show that Tess too is a skin story: a story of “beautiful feminine tissue\,” bodily surfaces\, phenomenological sensation\, the male gaze\, female agency\, embodiment\, and their violation – and an implicit story of racialization as well. The talk builds on Kaja Silverman’s foundational essay on female subjectivity and specularity in Tess by testing it against Under the Skin\, which I argue eerily re-echoes many of the Victorian novel’s central images and tropes. More largely\, I am interested in how the act of pairing Victorian and modern texts can provide Victorian studies scholars ways of engaging new work in critical theory – here\, recent theorizations of race\, blackness\, and visuality – that is sometimes felt to be debarred by our objects of study.

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.

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

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

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

The primary focus will be the U.S. Information Service Library in Johannesburg\, one of a global network of libraries funded by the United States to wage the Cold War through film\, literature\, and journalism. This talk will consider how a library designed to disseminate propaganda by the U.S. government in a white minority-governed country could simultaneously serve and transgress the missions of both states. What was the function of African American literature in its stacks? What role could\, say\, The Autobiography of Malcolm X play in downtown Johannesburg? And what does it tell us about how the careful curation of culture works (and doesn’t) in contexts of political resistance? And what\, if anything\, does it reveal about the nature of cultural institutions?

This lecture will (1) outline this “arc” of dream-interest in late-imperial cultural history\, (2) assert the importance of studying dreams as part of the history of consciousness\, (3) suggest a method of approaching such a historical mega-phenomenon\, and (4) illustrate that approach with examples from the verbal and visual culture facts of the Ming-to-Qing transitional era.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nLynn Struve is Professor Emerita of History and of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Indiana University\, Bloomington. Her longstanding\, general interests lie in the political\, intellectual\, and cultural history of the late Ming and early Qing periods in China. In recent years she has focused on the salience of dreams and dreaming in China from the mid-sixteenth through the seventeenth century\, research which has born fruit in a forthcoming book\, The Dreaming Mind and the End of the Ming World (University of Hawaii Press).

Discovering the answers to open questions such as the hierarchy problem and the nature of dark matter may in fact require a new\, high precision approach instead of conventional techniques. Examples of such new physics include the axion\, a solution to the strong CP problem and strongly-motivated dark matter candidate. Technologies such as atom interferometry\, nuclear magnetic resonance\, and high precision magnetometry allow novel\, highly sensitive experiments for direct detection of dark matter and new fundamental interactions. These approaches are similar in many respects to gravitational wave detectors. I will discuss several new detectors for dark matter and/or gravitational waves. Such precision experiments will open new avenues for probing the origin and composition of the universe.\n UID:62510-15375203@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62510 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190110T092142 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190403T173000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Statistical Learning Workshop DESCRIPTION:TBA UID:59442-14743400@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59442 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Politics LOCATION:Haven Hall - Walker Room (5664) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190314T132627 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190403T180000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Trans Day of Visibility Clothing Swap DESCRIPTION:In honor of Trans Day of Visibility\, the Spectrum Center and oSTEM will be hosting a clothing swap\, as a way for the LGBTQ+ community to provide support to trans\, non-binary\, and gender nonconforming individuals who may be in need of access to free clothing.

On the other hand\, there's math: the poet\, the dreamer\, the hunter of wild abstractions. How do these two intellectual traditions regard one another? And why is it that the most useless-sounding math - from knot theory to meta-logic to non-Euclidean geometry - often turns out to be the most useful? Prerequisites: basic human curiosity\; tolerance for bad drawings\; the willingness to participate in a silly debate. In short: all are welcome!

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:60521-14903609@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
