Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

To incentivise trustworthiness\, defaulters should be punished by temporary exclusion. However\, it is profitable to trust defaulters who are on the verge of rehabilitation. With perfect bounded information\, defaulter exclusion unravels and trust cannot be sustained\, in any purifiable equilibrium.

In public and private prescription drug plans\, issuers utilize preferred pharmacy networks to reduce drug prices. We show that\, in the Medicare Part D program\, drug plans with restrictive preferred pharmacy networks pay lower retail drug prices\; however\, enrollee insensitivity to preferred pharmacy copay discounts leads to higher prices. We then estimate plan and pharmacy demand models to quantify the costs and benefits of selective contracting with heterogeneous enrollee sensitivity to benefit design.\n\nJoint with Amanda Starc UID:58712-14544817@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58712 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Ross School of Business - R0320 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180920T154248 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M Structure Seminar DESCRIPTION:Jason Porta\, Fellow\, Melanie Ohi Lab\, University of Michigan UID:55762-13777533@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/55762 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

The Thousand Year Old Stolen Burmese Buddha Who Traveled The World And The Saga Of Its Return DESCRIPTION:This presentation will profile the return of a rare Buddha image that was stolen from a remote temple in Bagan in 1988 and would travel around the world before finally being returned to its home country in 2012. This long saga\, which involved looters\, antique dealers\, art historians\, lawyers\, ambassadors and curators\, demonstrates the intricate complexities in restituting objects. The priceless sculpture was transported from Myanmar (also known as Burma) to Bangkok\, San Francisco\, New York\, Chicago and Paris. It would be saved from the auction block\, before drawing the involvement of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and becoming the subject of a precedent setting lawsuit for antiquities. \n \n This research explored the different phases of this complex and successful story but also question how to implement restitutions most efficiently in the 21st century. Indeed\, as the themes behind this stolen Buddha’s history have wider resonance for the region. Southeast Asian policymakers have been debating for decades on how to best protect their national heritage from criminals\, while fighting for the restitution of stolen artworks. While the level success within each country has varied\, much remains to be done in facing the continuing challenge of art trafficking. \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.

For larger blocks\, variance estimation is relatively straightforward. For matched pairs\, however\, because one cannot directly estimate variance within a block we have to use estimators that look at variation across the blocks. These alternative estimators have been evaluated under different assumptions than found in the large block literature. Because of this\, these two literatures do not handle cases with blocks of varying sizes\, but which contain singleton treatment or control units. This has also created some confusion regarding the benefits of blocking in general. In this talk\, we reconcile the literatures by carefully examining the performance of different estimators of treatment effect and of variance under several different frameworks. We also provide variance estimators for experiments with many small blocks of different sizes and for experiments with mixtures of large and small blocks. We finally discuss in which situations blocking is or is not guaranteed to reduce the variance of our estimator.\n\nNicole Pashley & Luke Miratrix UID:60717-14946092@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60717 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190407T120009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T235959 SUMMARY:Other:A team Tournament DESCRIPTION:The A team has a tournament at Northern Illinois University  UID:62654-15511471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62654 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Northern Illinois University CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190227T095818 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190405T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Beyond Science Outreach: Connecting with Communities DESCRIPTION:Learn about community engaged scholarship and the variety of ways you can promote positive social change!

Focusing too much on specific details of the networks ignores the overriding theme that the emergence of generic network features is independent of these details. \n \nResults: Cancer is caused by 9 sources of chronic cellular stress which often interact to provide the multiple “hits” that produce malignancy. They are: chronic inflammation (due to infection\, infestation\, autoimmune disorders\, trauma\, overweight\, diabetes and other causes)\; exposure to carcinogens\; reproductive hormones\; Western diet (low fiber\, vegetable and fruit consumption\; high fat)\; aging\; radiation\; immune system dysfunction\; germ line changes and random chronic stress / bad luck. \n \nConclusions: Cancer is an inevitable tradeoff of human biologic design that will always be with us\, particularly as life expectancy increases. However\, we can often prevent it\, we can detect it earlier and we can treat it more effectively. Most cancer is cause by chronic cellular stress\, which disturbs the delicate balance of our interconnected biologic networks. Malignancy arises due to a build up of hierarchies\, in which combination of agents (biomarkers and networks) at one level become agents at the next level. Hierarchies are identifiable by patterns of molecular changes and sometimes by accompanying histologic changes. New cancer treatment approaches will focus on targeting multiple networks to overcome tumor heterogeneity\, reducing the chronic stressors\, moving networks into less lethal states and targeting the chaotic nature of tumors.

I will present evidence that cosmic censorship is violated in the quintessential phenomenon of General Relativity: the collision and merger of two black holes. It only requires a sufficient total angular momentum in a collision in high enough number of dimensions.\nNevertheless\, I will argue that even if cosmic censorship is violated in this and in some other know instances\, its spirit remains unchallenged: classical relativity describes the physics seen by observers outside the black holes accurately\, with only minimal quantum input that does not entail macroscopic disruptions.

The presenters will provide some background information on the prevalence of parents' use of Twitter and then provide rationale for studying fathering and mothering\, especially amongst stay-at-home fathers and mothers\, using Twitter data. Specifically\, the presenters will introduce a few studies their group has conducted to better understand topics and content stay-at-home parents discuss. The presentation will culminate in discussing a number of challenges and opportunities that arise when using Twitter to engage in parenting research. The presenters hope to generate and engage in subsequent discussions on these methodological and ethical issues.

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.

Drawing on self-affirmation theory\, we propose that social worth affirmation – which we define as the process by which an individual’s unique contributions are affirmed by social relationships – can prepare individuals to contribute to team performance more effectively. We theorize that affirming team members’ social worth spills over to the new team context\, thereby decreasing their social concerns about being accepted by other members. This\, in turn\, leads to better information exchange and performance in teams. In a first field experiment\, we found that teams in which members experienced social worth affirmation prior to team formation performed better on a problem-solving task (compared to teams without social worth affirmation). In a second experiment\, conducted using task-oriented teams in the U.S. military\, we tested a full model that social worth affirmation influences information exchange and team performance by reducing members’ concerns about social acceptance. In the third experiment using virtual teams\, we find that social worth affirmation improves teams’ ability to exchange information by sharing unique information cues.

In order to overcome various shades of 'othering\,' Homi Bhabha and other postcolonial theorists have conceptualized interactions between different cultures as processes of hybridization. \nI would like to propose an alternative model for describing processes of cultural translation\, namely the model of grafting that has been used not only by Jacques Derrida as a metaphor for textual cut and paste operations\, but also by Johann Gottfried Herder and Friedrich Schleiermacher for the purpose of coming to terms with the foreignness of other languages as well as other cultures. \n \nUwe Wirth holds the chair for German Literature and Cultural Theory at the German Department at the Julius-Liebig-University Giessen since 2007. From 2005 until 2007 he was the scientific coordinator at the Center for Advanced Literary and Cultural Research (ZfL) in Berlin. \nIn his dissertation\, he addressed topics such as the theories of humor and stupidity (published 1999 under the title Diskursive Dummheit: Abduktion und Komik als Grenzphänomen des Verstehens\, [Discursive Stupidity: Abduction and Comic as Border Phenomena of Understanding\, 1999]. In his 'habilitation'\, he reconstructed the central role of editorial fiction in German literature 'around 1800' (published by the Fink Verlag under the title: Die Geburt des Autors aus dem Geist der Herausgeberfiktion. Editoriale Rahmung im Roman um 1800: Wieland\, Goethe\, Brentano\, Jean Paul und E.T.A. Hoffmann [The Birth of the Author from the Spirit of Editorial Fiction. Editorial framing in the novel around the year 1800: Wieland\, Goethe\, Brentano\, Jean Paul and E.T.A. Hoffmann]. His current research interest is the model of grafting as a model for intercultural relationships as well as a metaphor of inscription and quotation.

We will describe PAR\, its particular relevance to agroecology and food system work\, and its application in our educator training program Laboratorios para la Vida (LabVida). LabVida has been working for eight years to train educators to use school gardens and food systems as venues for inquiry-based learning linking local and academic knowledge. We applied PAR to development and analysis of our training program\, and invited participating educators to use PAR with their groups to explore and improve their food environments. PAR has proven to be an effective tool for generating small but significant changes in participants' narratives and practices.\n \nHelda Morales is from Guatemala City and went to college there.

These are cases where becoming more confident that things will go one way gives you evidence that they'll go the other way\; and vice versa. In these cases\, any belief you adopt undermines itself.

These may not only compete but also cooperate with each other\, describing phases with a common origin that are intertwined. Holographic techniques provide a theoretical laboratory to probe such strongly correlated systems\, offering a new window into their dynamics.\nIn this talk I will discuss a holographic model of a striped superconductor\, which provides a concrete realization of intertwined orders. I will also examine the formation and structure of Fermi surfaces in various holographic systems with broken translational invariance. In particular\, we will see that sufficiently strong lattice effects generically cause the Fermi surface to dissolve\, leaving behind disconnected segments. This segmentation process is reminiscent of the puzzling Fermi arc phenomenon observed in the high temperature superconductors.

From Rome\, the fifty-six year-old painter exerted his power over an “homme de couleur” and a black man by orchestrating a confrontation that left both men in ignorance of its ultimate purpose. Ingres’s sixteen year old student Théodore Chassériau\, was being told secretly to paint the celebrated black model Joseph\, famously placed at the apex of Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa. While refusing to share his intentions with either man\, Ingres confided to a friend that the subject was “Christ Chasing the Devil from the Mountain. As for the pupil\, he does not need to know this.” Locked behind closed doors and left in the dark as to Ingres’s plans\, two Creoles – painter and model - confronted one another\; the result of this encounter was Chassériau’s famous Étude de Nègre of 1838. This talk analyzes the picture and the circumstances of its making in light of France’s colonial history. \n\n\"The Hidden Mod in the New Art History: Another Origin Story\". \nThomas Crow\n\nSummary: the revival of art history as an intellectual discipline from about 1975 drew much of its strength from Parisian modern-life painting in the later 19th century. The story of how it got there contains an earlier and overlooked contribution that surprisingly arose from the rebellious youth culture of postwar London.\n\nFree and open to the public.

Stamps School of Art & Design\nLeela Fernandes\, Womens’ Studies\nAkil Kumarasamy\, English and Creative Writing\nAliyah Khan\, Department of English\nSwarnavel Pillai\, English and Media & Information\, Michigan State University \n\nAbout the exhibit:\n\nUsing an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.

At the same time\, mountains host a substantial proportion of the world’s species and the long-term surface elevation history of orogens not only affects local (e.g. rainfall\, seasonality\, biodiversity) but also global climatic conditions e.g. through atmospheric teleconnections. Recovering the timing and rates of Earth’s surface processes\, therefore\, directly links to patterns of biomes and biodiversity at the interface of atmospheric and geodynamic processes. Here I present stable and clumped isotope approaches from the European Alps (Switzerland)\, the Anatolian plateau (Turkey) and the East African Rift System (Malawi) to identify the interactions of regional surface uplift and climate change on paleo-environmental conditions. Given the rapid technological advances in modeling and proxy approaches to determine paleoelevation as well as phylogenetic techniques in recovering the evolutionary history of mountainous species\, understanding the interactions among biodiversity and Earth surface processes will develop into a key opportunity for the geological and biological sciences.

As part of the Memory\, Urban Violence and Performance Project founded by Ford-Smith\, Vigil for Roxie draws on the memorial practices of working-class Black Jamaican women who have lost loved ones to gang and state violence over the past three decades. Shakes utilizes a womanist paradigm to explore the racial\, economic and gendered dimensions of memory\, healing and justice as depicted in Vigil. By representing experiences of gang and state violence through the bodies and voices of Black women\, Vigil challenges mainstream male-centered understandings of violence while creating a holistic vision of social justice involving the community\, nation and wider region of the Americas.\n\n \n\nBio\n\nNicosia Shakes is Assistant Professor in the Department of Africana Studies at The College of Wooster.

We can make our productions strongly\, even aggressively about our politics rather than Rome’s or early modern England’s. But one major area of Shakespeare marketing that Shakespeare cultural criticism has almost completely ignored is the film - and now also the theatre – trailer. Trailers are everywhere.

In the first example\, she will propose how EEG connectomics coupled with manifold learning and dimensionality reduction may allow us to measure the ‘speed of thinking’ on a sub-second time scale. In the second example\, she will introduce her recent joint work with Dr. Melvin McInnis that seeks to unobtrusively turn smartphones into ‘stethoscopes’ of the brain\, in real time and in the wild. \n\n \n\nBio: Dr. Alex Leow is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry\, Bioengineering\, and Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and an attending physician at the University of Illinois Hospital. With Dr. Olu Ajilore\, Alex founded the Collaborative Neuroimaging Environment for Connectomics (CoNECt) at UIC. CoNECt is an inter-departmental research team devoted to the study of the human brain using multidisciplinary approaches of brain imaging\, non-invasive brain stimulation\, Big Data analytics\, virtual-reality immersive visualization\, and more recently mobile technologies.\n\nMost relevant to this talk\, Alex is honored to the project lead of the BiAffect project. BiAffect is the first scientific study that seeks to turn smartphones into “brain fitness trackers”\, by unobtrusively inferring neuropsychological functioning using entirely passively-collected typing kinematics metadata (i.e.\, not what you type but how you type it) from a smartphone’s virtual keyboard. The iOS BiAffect study app now powers the first-ever crowd-sourced research study to unobtrusively measure mood and cognition in real-time using iPhones and Apple’s ResearchKit framework. \n\nThe CoNECt team’s research has been extensively featured in the news\, including more recently in Chicago Tribune\, Chicago Tonight\, Forbes\, the Wall Street Journal\, the Associated Press news\, and the Rolling Stone.

Osborn Lecture\n\nAbstract: Laboratory thermonuclear fusion experiments with z-pinches\, tokamaks\, stellarators\, and mirror machines began in the early 1950’s\, but achieving the Holy Grail of energy breakeven has remained a Quixotic quest. The first laser was built in 1960 and by 1974\, KMS fusion in Ann Arbor reported the first thermonuclear neutrons from a laser-driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosion (Chroma laser: 0.8kJ). The optimism of producing net energy with modest lasers based on 1-D simulations with limited physics proved unfounded. In the succeeding 45 years\, a series of larger lasers has been built\, but NIF (1.8 MJ) @ LLNL has yet to achieve ignition. All the approaches in the NNSA ICF program\, laser indirect and direct drive\, as well as magnetic direct drive on Z at Sandia will require a major new facility to produce significant yield. Can modern computing models\, validated by new data on critical physics issues\, help cut the Gordian Knot and establish a credible path for a high yield facility? Until recently\, computational constraints limited the physical adequacy of our ICF design tools. In particular\, thermal conduction flux limiters are still used in direct and indirect drive laser ICF target design\, rather than accounting for the kinetic and non-local nature of electron heat transport. My 1978 dissertation on Fokker-Planck modeling was motivated by this problem\, but the development of practical models for use in 3-D rad-hydro codes is ongoing. Excitingly\, recent measurements on Omega of nonlocal heat flux in laser-produced coronal plasmas using a novel Thomson scattering technique [1] are finally providing the missing validation data for these models\, and Vlasov-Fokker-Planck simulations are in progress to determine the self-consistent electron distribution functions and heat flux. Improvements in this and related laser-plasma interaction models will provide a firmer foundation for future extrapolations. My talk concludes with a roadmap for achieving ignition and yield from direct drive ICF with excimer lasers.\n\nBio: Dr. Tom Mehlhorn\, heads the Plasma Physics Division at the Naval Research Laboratory where he oversees a broad spectrum of research\, including fusion\, pulsed power\, laser wakefield acceleration\, space plasmas\, and plasma processing. He has a B.S.\, M.S. and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Michigan. Dr. Mehlhorn has received several scientific awards\, including the 2004 U of M Alumni Society Award in NERS. He is a Fellow of the APS Division of Plasma Physics\, the AAAS in Physics\, and the IEEE. He is an author on over 160 peer-reviewed papers.\n\nThis annual lecture series has been made possible by a generous endowment by MIT Professor Emeritus Sidney Yip\, a former student of Professor Osborn. These annual lectures are a tribute to Professor Osborn's unwavering dedication to education of students in fundamental science. It is the goal of these lectures to inspire future generations of students in nuclear theory and simulation.

Often\, functionally-relevant states are nearly isoenergetic (separated in energy by a few kT\, or less)\, meaning that at physiological temperatures\, multiple conformational states populate the ensemble. Using newly developed multiconformer models of X-ray crystallography data\, we have shown how population shifts can result from simple temperature perturbation. Our experience over multiple systems has demonstrated that temperature sensitive conformational states are the same ones used by evolution to create new functions\, by small molecules in creating new binding sites\, and by enzymes to transit through a catalytic cycle. Using an easily controllable physical perturbation (temperature) to predict the conformational response to physiological perturbations suggests the specific conformations to enforce at allosteric sites to achieve long-range control over protein activity.

Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: An Evening With Mary Kathryn Nagle DESCRIPTION:Native American Studies at the University of Michigan presents the 2019 Robert F. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: An Evening With Mary Kathryn Nagle\n\"Native Theater in the 21st Century: Piercing the Invisibility and Restoring Our Humanity\"\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. There will be a catered reception to follow the lecture.\n\nMary Kathryn Nagle is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation. She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Yale Indigenous Performing Arts Program. She is also a partner at Pipestem Law\, P.C.\, where she works to protect tribal sovereignty and the inherent right of Indian Nations to protect their women and children from domestic violence and sexual assault. Nagle has authored numerous briefs in federal appellate courts\, including the United States Supreme Court. Nagle studied theater and social justice at Georgetown University as an undergraduate student\, and received her J.D. from Tulane Law School where she graduated summe cum laude and received the John Minor Wisdom Award. She is a frequent speaker at law schools and symposia across the country. Her articles have been published in law review journals including the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender\, Yale Law Journal (online forum)\, Tulsa Law Review\, and Tulane Law Review\, among others.\n\nNagle is an alumn of the 2012 PUBLIC THEATER Emerging Writers Group\, where she developed her play “Manahatta” in PUBLIC STUDIO (May 2014). Productions include “Miss Lead” (Amerinda\, 59E59\, January 2014)\, and “Fairly Traceable” (Native Voices at the Autry\, March 2017)\, “Sovereignty” (Arena Stage)\, “Manahatta” (Oregon Shakespeare Festival)\, and Return to Niobrara (Rose Theater). In 2019\, Portland Center Stage will produce the world premiere of “Crossing Mnisose.”\n\nNagle has received commissions from Arena Stage (“Sovereignty”)\, the Rose Theater (“Return to Niobrara\,” Omaha\, Nebraska)\, Portland Center Stage (“Mnisose”)\, Denver Center for the Performing Arts\, Yale Repertory Theatre (“A Pipe for February”)\, and Round House Theater. \n\nThe Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle\, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners\, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent\, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students\, Ann Arbor and Detroit\, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off\, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally\, because of the statewide publicity it generates\, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.

Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

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.

On this shore\, we've learned most of what we know. Recently\, we've waded a little way out\, maybe ankle-deep\, and the water seems inviting.” Carl Sagan visualized our perspective on Earth as looking out to a vast ocean\, and with an international fleet of space-based and ground observatories now and soon to come\, we are poised more than ever to jump into the larger universe. The upcoming Solar Orbiter mission gives us a perfect example of how far we can go when we work together across traditional boundaries and realize that nothing in science is done in isolation. Understanding our own star leads to an increased awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s place in our solar system\, as well as the Sun’s influence on planets near and far\, all the way out to the boundary of our solar system. And our vision doesn’t stop there\; using our star as a template informs our view of other star systems and their worlds. What we learn now\, sitting on that shore\, will enrich our journey out into the endless cosmic sea.

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 Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

His latest album was produced by Ani DiFranco\, whom he befriended when she added a verse to his song \"Take Down Your Flag\,\" about the shootings at the AME Emanuel Church in Charleston\, South Carolina. \"I heard a young folksinger at a festival last summer sing a line about how our job is to sing the people through\, and I think that young man is right as rain\,\" Peter says. \"I’m doing my best.\" Peter returns from his MC slot at the 2019 Ann Arbor Folk Festival with a new album \"Fool's Errand\".

Like the original Blue Beard\, Heinrich Blaubart brings death to women he meets. Unlike the original Blue Beard\, though\, he doesn’t seek to do so\; in fact\, his fear of relationships makes him try to avoid women. This\, of course\, makes him all the more attractive to the women he encounters. On a deeper level\, the play suggests that everyone is searching for something different and for some acceptance. Perhaps one should take heed\, though\, of Maeterlinck’s warning that: “There is a Blue Beard room in everyone’s soul that should never be opened.” \n\nPresented in German by students enrolled in RCHums334: From the Page to the Stage.

Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

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

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

Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

Casas’s new drama creates a mosaic of a city struggling to survive and present itself to the world by exploring its hidden stories and history. Guest stage director Dexter Singleton\, now based on the East Coast\, grew up in Detroit and has relatives in Flint\, bringing a local touch to the production. With many of the issues remaining unresolved four years out\, Flint serves as a platform for dialogue regarding the future of the city and its resilient residents\, as well as for other communities facing similar problems.

Like the original Blue Beard\, Heinrich Blaubart brings death to women he meets. Unlike the original Blue Beard\, though\, he doesn’t seek to do so\; in fact\, his fear of relationships makes him try to avoid women. This\, of course\, makes him all the more attractive to the women he encounters. On a deeper level\, the play suggests that everyone is searching for something different and for some acceptance. Perhaps one should take heed\, though\, of Maeterlinck’s warning that: “There is a Blue Beard room in everyone’s soul that should never be opened.” \n\nPresented in German by students enrolled in RCHums334: From the Page to the Stage. Surtitles will make it possible for even non-German speakers to follow the action on stage. Directed by Janet Hegman Shier. \n\nSaturday\, April 6 at 8 PM and Sunday matinée\, April 7 at 2 PM in the Keene Theater (lower level of East Quad). \n\nWe recommend a donation of $5 or non-perishable food items though no one will be turned away at the door. Proceeds go to SAFE HOUSE and Food Gatherers.\n\nAbout RC Deutsches Theater: Since 1985\, the focus of this RC course offering is on acting and on reading plays by contemporary German-speaking authors. We supertitle our plays. Audiences will note the resemblance to the way theater is performed in much of Europe with minimal (or sometimes no) set.

Banned by the Nazis\, Der Kaiser did not resurface for another 30 years\, following Ullmann’s violent death in Auschwitz. Examining what we learn from the past in order to resist future racist\, political\, or exclusionary ideologies\, this third opera brings together the collaborative ideas of seven graduate and doctoral voice students. Performed with chamber ensemble. UID:60641-14937054@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60641 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music,North campus LOCATION:Earl V.

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.

Indeed\, prior to receiving a full undergraduate education\, even aspiring nuclear engineers may only be aware of a few applications and opportunities in the nuclear field. However\, the applications of and opportunities within nuclear science and technology go much further than power generation. For example\, the medical field has benefited greatly from advances in nuclear science and technology with nuclear-enabled tools for imaging\, cancer treatments\, and sterilization. Irradiating food offers protection from harmful microorganisms without compromising the quality of food. Nuclear science and technology provides tools to law enforcement and national security personnel to help identify threats and protect our communities. Of course\, nuclear power generation is a major focus in education\, research\, and industry\; and the successes and advances in this area are not to be overlooked.Professionals working in the nuclear industry often require skills and expertise beyond strictly nuclear science. Modeling and simulation analysts must learn and maintain computer coding skills. The nuclear power industry needs professionals that understand regulations in order to meet their strict requirements for safety. Additionally\, the nuclear power industry is looking to those with an entrepreneurial spirit to bring new technologies to fruition that promise increased performance at a lower cost. The finances of nuclear power plants are unique in the energy production sector and require those with economic expertise to plan for the continued\, financially successful operation of nuclear power plants.VCU has chosen to focus on the broad nature of nuclear science and technology with the theme “Nuclear is ________________.” Under this theme\, the conference will explore the many opportunities accustomed to students within the nuclear science and technology realm. The theme will also encompass the many supportive activities\, technologies\, and experts in varied fields of nuclear science and technology. Obvious examples of the application of the theme include: “Nuclear is thermal-hydraulics.” or “Nuclear is neutronics.” or “Nuclear is nonproliferation.” Other\, less obvious applications of the theme include: “Nuclear is cyber security.” or “Nuclear is health.” or “Nuclear is advocacy.” or “Nuclear is economics.”In addition\, this theme allows VCU to explore the subtle and ubiquitous impacts of nuclear science and technology. For example: “Nuclear is making toast.” One out of every five pieces of bread used in making toast is toasted using electricity generated from nuclear power plants. Another example would be “Nuclear is fresh herbs and spices.” Almost every jar of dried herbs or spices sold in the U.S. has been irradiated to preserve its flavor and maintain longer shelf-lives. Demonstrating the successful and safe day-to-day use of nuclear science and technology represents an important nuclear advocacy tool that we will highlight throughout the conference.Additionally\, the exciting new technologies that hold much promise for the nuclear industry will be represented by “Nuclear is entrepreneurship.” and “Nuclear is innovation.” Innovations in reactor designs\, medical applications\, and security tools will require those with the imagination and the business skills capable of launching new products and/or companies that fulfill the promise of an improved world. In contrast with the ubiquitous and mundane\, successes in innovation and entrepreneurship represent the exciting and inspiring aspects of nuclear science and technology that will energize those students in attendance.

This study presents the first experimental test of coin flipping as a nudge to help resolve choice difficulty in the setting of charity giving. We conduct a field experiment in which potential donors were given the option of coin flipping to determine which of two similarly favourable charities to donate to. We find that the inclusion of the coin flipping option increases the donation rate by 20 percent. Laboratory experiments replicate the observed patterns and shed further light on the underlying psychological mechanism. More generally\, our results point to the power of coin flipping as a nudge when people must make difficult choices.

Empirical evidence has consistently revealed positive associations between having a clearer and more positive ERI and academic\, psychosocial\, and health outcomes (Rivas-Drake et al.\, 2014). Although relations between ERI and these outcomes have been investigated\, little is known about the mechanisms that can explain them.\n\nIn alignment with ecological development frameworks (e.g.\, Bronfenbrenner\, 1989)\, scholars have indicated that friends and school are important to the relation between ERI and adolescent outcomes (Rivas-Drake & Umaña-Taylor\, 2019). It is possible that youth with greater ERI resolution (i.e.\, the sense of clarity about the meaning of one’s ethnic-racial group membership) are likely to have greater social competencies and be friends with greater social competencies\, subsequently youth with greater social competencies and who are in networks of friends with greater social competences are more likely to feel that they belong in their school. The study that will be presented advances new knowledge regarding the role of social competencies as a mediating mechanism in the link between ERI resolution and students' school belonging.\n\nMichael Medina\n\nTitle: What’s in a friend? The role of friend group characteristics on the link \nbetween ethnic-racial identity and academic adjustment.\n\nAbstract:\nAdolescence is a time of significant ethnic-racial identity (ERI) development—the meaning ascribed to one’s ethnic-racial groups and how it is maintained over time. For youth of color\, this process has been found to be developmentally normative and linked to academic outcomes\, such as school belonging. Little is known\, however\, of the extent to which social contexts shape this relationship over time. This presentation examines the role of one such highly salient context\, school friend groups\, which serve as significant sources of socioemotional and academic support throughout adolescence. Projects drawing from two longitudinal school-based studies will be presented that consider the potential role of three distinct friend group characteristics: aggregate ERI beliefs\, ethnic-racial diversity\, and relationship quality. Results indicate a promotive role of particular friend group characteristics\, encouraging the consideration of youth’s developmental contexts in future research on positive ERI development and academic adjustment.

Excessively strong\, weak\, or otherwise improperly organized patterns of synchronous oscillatory activity may contribute to the generation of symptoms of different neurological and psychiatric diseases. However\, neuronal synchrony is frequently not perfect\, but rather exhibits intermittent dynamics. The same synchrony strength may be achieved with markedly different temporal patterns of activity. I will discuss methods to describe these phenomena and will present the application of this analysis to the neurophysiological data in healthy brain\, Parkinson’s disease\, and drug addiction disorders. I will finally discuss potential cellular mechanisms and functional advantages of some of the observed temporal patterning of neural synchrony.\n UID:59064-14677939@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59064 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T141325 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Flint Art Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The Flint Art Exhibition complements the Department of Theatre & Drama's production of Flint. \n\nThe exhibit will contain works from award-winning professional artists as well as art created by Flint youth and community members.

Jets form when a quark or gluon is produced in a scattering process\, and because of confinement\, these quarks and gluons nonperturbatively form a collimated spray of hadrons. While jets are one of the most frequently used objects in physics analyses at RHIC and the LHC\, it was only recently realized that the structure of jets can probe a wide variety of physics at collider facilities. In this talk I will discuss the breadth of physics that can be probed by studying the constituents of jets\, with a focus on recent results from the LHCb experiment. \n UID:62608-15410179@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62608 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with CPS faculty Yuki Shiraito DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shiraito is excited to host a weekly Monday evening hackerspace from January 21 until April 22.

Race and Erasure: A People's History of the \"Normal\" Body DESCRIPTION:This talk explains how in the years after World War II\, science leaders at the US National Institutes of Health set and expanded a second system to supply healthy people for human experiment\, in addition to government-based arrangements to access people with restricted civil liberties. During the early 1950s\, NIH aligned with private organizations from the major institutions of postwar America—religious groups\, labor unions\, universities\, and civic organizations—to sign “procurement contracts” that allowed the organizations to send their healthy members to the NIH to live as “normal control” subjects of science experiments. In the process the US produced the legal possibility—and the living reality—of an enduring\, large-scale civilian market for healthy human subjects. Yet this market for healthy humans had a distinctive feature. Because of the conventions of NIH research space and the demographics of the organizations with which the US government signed contracts\, the Normals had one common trait: they all were White. As a result\, the medical construct of “normalcy\,” though officially race blind\, was organized around White lives\, a legacy that continues to inflect medicine with race-based discrimination and disparities.\n\nBiosketch: Laura Stark is the author of Behind Closed Doors: IRBs and the Making of Ethical Research (Chicago\, 2012)\, and is completing a book project on the lives of “normal control” research subjects at the US National Institutes of Health. The Normals: A People’s History will be published by University of Chicago Press. Her articles and book chapters explore the history of moral experience and the mind-body sciences in a global frame. Stark is Associate Professor at Vanderbilt University and is Associate Editor of the journal History & Theory.

On Marketing and Militarism: Demobilizing Guerrillas and Mobilizing Affect\, Colombia and Propaganda in the Early Twenty-First Century DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the principle arguments in Alexander Fattal’s new book “Guerrilla Marketing: Counterinsurgency and Capitalism in Colombia” (University of Chicago Press\, 2018) about the convergence of marketing and militarism in twenty-first century propaganda. The talk considers the Colombian government’s efforts to engage in a form of ‘brand warfare’ against members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the smaller guerrilla group\, the National Liberation Army (ELN). Since 2007\, the government has been working with the same advertising firm that stewards brands such as Mazda and RedBull in Colombia\, to lure guerrillas out of the insurgency and transform them into consumer citizens. The ethnography critiques those efforts\, pointing to problems that emerge when branding captures critical state functions\, like waging a war. \n \nDr. Alexander L. Fattal is Assistant Professor in the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies at Pennsylvania State University. He is also a documentary artist whose creative and scholarly work focuses on the mediation of the Colombian armed conflict. \n@FattAlx | www.alexfattal.net UID:62831-15477383@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62831 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Latin America,Lecture,Social Sciences LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190315T185932 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190408T210000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:No COP-Out: The Path HoMe from the U.N.

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.

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.

Dr. Fariss uses computational methods and the statistical program R to study why governments around the world torture\, maim\, and kill individuals within their jurisdiction\, and the processes monitors use to observe and document these abuses. Other research projects cover a broad array of themes but share a focus on computationally intensive methods\, research design\, and the analysis of data at a massive scale. \n\nThis weekly meeting with Dr. Fariss is for those with an interest in the R statistical programming language. Both beginners and experienced users are invited to attend. Dr. Fariss plans to introduce mostly introductory material during these sessions but will also cover Bayesian modeling in R and STAN.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise.

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.

Dominant males exhibit the brightest chest patches\, suggesting this signal may function as a sexually selected handicap signal to ward off potential male competitors. However\, little is known about the mechanism linking color intensity to male quality or the potential physiological costs to maintaining chest redness. In most systems\, testosterone links signal intensity and the quality of the signaler as testosterone is metabolically costly and prevents low quality males from falsely signaling high quality. Despite a large sample size of chest patch photos and hormone samples\, our research group has been unable to find a link between fecal testosterone levels and chest color in geladas. Here\, I investigate the potential driving mechanisms and associated costs of chest patch coloration in a group of habituated geladas living in the Simien Mountains National Park\, Ethiopia.

Brauer Faculty Fellow Ava Purkiss gives a 30-minute talk followed by Q & A.\n\n In 1959\, black fashion and marketing expert Elsie Archer published Let’s Face It: A Guide to Good Grooming for Negro Girls in which she offered health and beauty advice to young black women. Before suggesting diet plans and exercise programs\, she asked her readers: “How did you get fat anyway?” Archer added that avoiding fatness through diet and exercise would enable young black women to discover their feminine charms\, enhance their appearances\, and achieve a body that will “fit in.” My talk will examine how black women like Archer used nutrition advice\, diet and exercise promotion\, and fat shaming tactics to literally shape the fit black female body in the mid-twentieth century.

The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

For David Clement Scott\, the most visionary amongst them\, Rhodes epitomised the wrong turn that race relations would take when the territory was declared a Protectorate in 1891. Scott’s vision was of an Africa in which different races worked for the common good – “not side by side but as one”. From language learning to land tenure\, the approach he advocated was no idealism detached from practical initiatives. It involved as much status reversal between white and black as it did hierarchical forbearance. By attending to some of Scott’s short-lived innovations\, I ask whether the intervening century has made such decolonial thought all but impossible to comprehend in its own terms. What is the prospect of recovering de-racialized humanity\, even if in a Christian key\, as the critical concept in decolonial thought?

Dr. Barense has been trained in animal neuroscience\, human neuropsychology\, fMRI\, and cognitive psychology and enjoys bringing these approaches together to study the neural underpinnings of memory.\n\nPresentation Title: Understanding memory disorders: At the level of cognitive process representational content?\n\nAbstract: \n\nHow does perception of an object relate to subsequent memory for that object? A central assumption in most modern theories of memory is that memory and perception are functionally and anatomically segregated. For example\, amnesia resulting from medial temporal lobe (MTL) lesions is traditionally considered to be a selective deficit in long-term declarative memory with no effect on perceptual processes. This view is consistent with a popular paradigm in cognitive neuroscience\, in which the brain is understood in terms of a modular organization of function based on cognitive process. The work I will present offers a new perspective. Guided by computational modelling complemented with neuropsychology and neuroimaging\, I will provide support for the notion that memory and perception are inextricably intertwined throughout the MTL\, relying on shared neural representations and computational mechanisms. I will then describe how this new framework can improve basic understanding of cognitive impairments observed in Alzheimer’s disease\, as well as guide development of new diagnostic procedures for those at risk for dementia.

Post-biblical sources tend either to magnify or diminish the severity of the king’s error. This paper will study how Jeroboam’s image was shaped through forces of intra- and inter-religious polemic and served as a focal point for contemplating issues of Jewish orthodoxy and heterodoxy as well as the nature and boundaries of idolatry.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

These factors present\nutilities with the urban water cycle trilemma: investing capital to maintain or expand infrastructure\, doing business as usual to maintain its level of service\, and doing all this affordably.\nThis talk will show how utilities are using machine learning and internet of things to solve the urban water cycle trilemma by disrupting the status quo. Data intensive solutions are being used to adapt water infrastructure in real time to provide citizens with higher levels of service while reducing energy and chemical consumption in treatment plants\, reducing storm related flooding and overflows\, and increasing drinking water quality.\n\nLuis is the CTO and President of EmNet.

With immigrant agency at the center of its analysis\, this book asks why foreign residents make the political choices they do as they become permanent members of their receiving societies. Based on over 150 in-depth interviews with immigrants\, pro-immigrant activists\, and government officials and 28 focus groups with the major foreign resident groups in each country conducted in the greater Tokyo\, Seoul\, and Taipei metropolitan areas from 2009 to 2013\, this book prioritizes the role played by civil society actors—including migrants themselves—in giving voice to migrant interests\, mobilizing migrant actors\, and shaping public debate and policy on immigration. Departing from the dominant scholarship on immigrant incorporation that focuses on national cultures or traditions\, domestic political elites\, and international norms\, I argue that civil society actors drew on existing ideas\, networks\, and strategies previously applied to incorporate historically marginalized groups\, or what I call civic legacies\, to confront the challenges of immigrant incorporation. Rather than determining the paths available to later generations\, civic legacies form the opportunities and constraints that demarcate the rules of the game for migrant claims making\, thus framing the direction of immigrant incorporation\, the level of penetration in society\, and the potential for structural reform. As the first English-language book comparing three countries that represent a single model of immigrant incorporation in East Asia\, Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian Democracies proposes to shed insights into the gaps between policy intent\, interpretation\, and outcomes. \n \nErin Aeran Chung is the Charles D.

The interaction between humans and animals can affect the environment\, and vice versa. In the ancient Egyptian Nile Valley\, in addition to providing food\, transportation\, raw materials\, companionship and entertainment\, animals played a key role in religion. As such\, they inspired divine iconography and language\, and served both as manifestations as well as offerings to gods. Ultimately\, in the twilight of Egypt’s pharaonic history\, animals played a part in defining cultural identity and world-view. This talk will focus on a critical locus of this agency: animal mummies in ancient Egypt\, and what they tell us not only about Egyptian culture\, economy\, and human-animal relationships\, but also about Egypt’s changing environment.\n\nSalima Ikram is Distinguished University Professor of Egyptology at The American University in Cairo\, and has worked as an archaeologist in Turkey\, Sudan\, Greece and the United States.

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.

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.

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.

How the West Corrupts the East: Swedish Bribes and Uzbek Dictators DESCRIPTION:With a world record fine and the CEO now on trial in Sweden\, Europe’s fifth largest telecommunications provider\, Telia Company AB\, is slowly getting out from an expensive and morally corrupt endeavor in Uzbekistan. Award-winning Swedish journalist and 2019 Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan Fredrik Laurin presents Swedish Public Service TV’s exposure of international corruption. The lecture will address the effects of corruption in Central Asia and the role of U.S. legislation as the only working law against corruption.\n\nFredrik Laurin is editor of special projects for Swedish Television’s (SVT’s) Current Affairs program. Before this he was editor of the investigative department for Swedish Radio\, a reporter for SVT\, and investigative reporter for National TV 4. Laurin’s investigations exposed tax havens and tax evasion by the global corporate elite and corruption in the Swedish government and abroad. One such investigation exposed how purportedly alliance-free Sweden secretly cooperates with U.S. authorities in eavesdropping\, intelligence gathering\, extraordinary rendition\, and torture in the war on terror. He has received the Stora Journalistpriset\, the Swedish equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize\, and Guldspaden\, the Swedish Investigative Reporters and Editors award. He has received several other awards for his work\, including the Pulitzer Prize for his collaborative efforts on the Panama Papers with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Laurin graduated from the Gothenburg School of Journalism and studied political science at Gothenburg University. Currently he is a Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

However\, in many countries\, including the United States\, the civil infrastructure is no longer within desired levels of performance. Decisions resilence- and sustainability regarding infrastructure systems should be supported by an integrated risky-based life-cycle multi-objective optimization framework by considering\, among other factors\, the likelihood of successful performance and the total expected cost accrued over the entire life-cycle. The primary objective of this lecture is to present a framework for risk-\, resilience- and sustainability-informed decision making for structural systems and networks in a life-cycle multi-objective optimization context. Risk-based performance metrics allow engineers to combine the probability of structural failure with the consequences corresponding to this event. The sustainability performance metric is established considering the risks associated with economic\, social\, and environmental impacts\, utility theory\, and the decision maker’s risk attitude. Applications include time-variant reliability\, risk\, resilience\, and sustainability of bridges\, bridge transportation networks\, and interdependent infrastructure systems under multi-hazards.

While these courses make up a significant portion of students’ engineering education\, they have received less research focus than design courses. In this talk we will present the beginnings of a framework capturing two overarching research questions: What should students learn in engineering science courses? And How should students learn in engineering science courses? We will then present two current research studies that each address these two questions. In the first we will describe the development of a coding scheme to characterize the degree to which instructors facilitate student sense-making in class and demonstrate how it is applied to question-initiated dialogue in two courses. In the second we will examine how students in one engineering science course solved and evaluated their answers for open-ended mathematical modeling problems.

Baer Lecture | The Neutron Lifetime Puzzle DESCRIPTION:Neutrons make up half of all matter but become unstable when freed from the nucleus. The precise value of the neutron lifetime plays an important role in nuclear and particle physics and cosmology. Professor Liu will describe the latest measurement\, which traps neutrons by levitating neutrons with a large array of permanent magnets. The lifetime measured this way appears different than that measured with a beam of neutrons leading some to conjecture their disappearance into an undetectable state.

In this lecture\, he discusses shared use and communally owned resources known as the poromoboke and the blatant encroachment on the poromboke for building construction and garbage dumping. \n\nPoromboke is a Tamil word meaning shared-use and communally owned resources like bodies of water\, seashores and grazing lands. Today\, it has a negative connotation and is used to describe worthless people or places. This erosion in meaning is the result of a property-making agenda of the state that views open\, unbuilt and unbuildable spaces as wasteland. But poromboke commons are layered with multiple land uses\, cultures and economies. Far from being worthless\, poromboke spaces are the backbone of any economy\, and the basis for the planet's resilience. India is witnessing a wave of protests against land acquisition for infrastructure projects that prioritize built infrastructure over unbuilt and open spaces. Surviving climate change is a fight to prevent degrading land-use change\, and the re-orienting of values. The task then is a cultural one—of revalorizing the poromboke and changing our notions of value and worth with respect to places\, economies\, cultures and peoples.

This will take place in and around a 6.5 feet radius circle drawn on the floor of the library. Detroit Jit is an under-documented dance style invented in the 70’s in Detroit by the McGhee brothers. This dance form is one of the most unique aspects of cultural heritage to come from the Motor City. It is however little known outside Detroit and is not as elaborately documented and archived as other parts of the history that center on the negative. The living bodies of current Jit dancers are among the few archives we have of this dance form. The dance is a fast-paced lower body movement and is an original Detroit dance style developed around the same time with B-Boying and break dancing from New York and also the Chicago dance style. Detroit Jit however did not spread much outside the city of Detroit. Today it remains a unique aspect of Detroit resistance culture and its slowly growing in recognition. It is one of the many ways that reveal the human body(in this particular case the African American) as repository and a dynamic living archive of stories and histories that exist in less glorious ways in text-bound confines. Presenting Jit in real time is a specific way to interrogate the texto-centric complex on which most Western libraries construct a hierarchy of knowledge(s). Most current Institutions of knowledge still struggle with a colonial ethnographic\, script centered library model .This model is in danger of slowly fading into museum like insignificance. Using a particular type of a performing body to complement and challenge text is one way to ignite dialogue concerning the future of information presentation and the place of the somatic medium.”\n\nThis performance is presented as part of the exhibition Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library.

Cole shows how Muhammad came of age in an era of unparalleled violence. The religion Muhammad founded\, Islam\, spread widely during his lifetime\, relying on soft power instead of military might\, and sought armistices even when militarily attacked. Cole sheds light on this forgotten history\, reminding us that in the Qur'an\, the legacy of that spiritual message endures. \n\nWe will be providing free copies of the book to fifteen graduate students and researchers.

Professor Warneken concludes with some thoughts on how the study of psychological mechanism can explain similarities and differences in the cooperation of humans and other great apes.\n\nSpeaker bio: Professor Felix Warneken studies the origins of human social behavior\, with a focus on the development and evolution of cooperation and morality. He uses developmental and cross-cultural studies with children\, as well as comparative studies with nonhuman apes.

Each of the internal speakers are working to prepare a description of the focus and impact of an area of research that includes the work of several faculty including themselves. Between the internal speakers\, we expect to be able to include almost all the research areas of people who has responded to the invitation to submit their work for inclusion.\n\nAdditional Information and Registration: https://qstwg.engin.umich.edu/michigan-quantum-science-and-technology-workshop/ UID:62511-15379594@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62511 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,engineering,Michigan Engineering,Workshop LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190614T140151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190411T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190411T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock).

Martin is a Professor and Chair of Sociology at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. She has published extensively on gender\, sexuality\, and childhood in everyday life. Her research has appeared in many outlets including American Sociological Review\, Gender & Society\, Child Abuse & Neglect\, and Journal of Family Issues. She is author of Puberty\, Sexuality\, and the Self: Girls and Boys at Adolescence (Routledge\, 1996).\n\nSince the feminist movements of the 1970s\, has childhood become more gender equal? We have seen enormous social changes with respect to gender in educational attainment\, in the work- place\, in politics\, and in some aspects of marriage over the last 50 years. But what about early childhood? Do boys and girls have the same experiences and opportunities in childhood? Research suggests somewhat of a mixed picture\, with some changes\, some stalls\, and some regression.\n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is Changing Gender Roles. The next lecture will be April 18\, 2019. The title is: Changing Gender Economic 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.

All voices and views are welcome and lunch will be provided!\n\nRSVP here: http://myumi.ch/LzEYO\n\nThe #MeToo movement has highlighted issues of sexual misconduct across the globe since going viral in October 2017. Initially centered around sexual misconduct in the workplace\, the movement has since allowed survivors of sexual harassment and assault to speak about their experiences in broader contexts. The hashtag has reached the entertainment industry\, higher education\, politics\, and more as people like Aziz Ansari\, Matt Lauer\, Kevin Spacey\, Bill Cosby\, Larry Nassar\, and Brett Kavanaugh have their reputations called into question. Some remain unscathed after public scrutiny while others lose their jobs or are sentenced to prison time.\n\nHave we seen true change in sexual misconduct policy since the hashtag began? Does the #MeToo movement violate the American value of \"innocent until proven guilty?\" Can allegations of sexual misconduct be managed by the court of public opinion or should all consequences be withheld until a trial has taken place?\n\nJoin us at this WeListen Staff Discussion to learn about the #MeToo movement and to participate in small group discussions about this complex topic. Our aim is to bring liberals\, conservatives\, libertarians- everyone across the political spectrum- together for constructive conversation. The goal of WeListen discussions is not to debate or argue\, but to understand the views and values of others and to learn from their perspectives. The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions.\n\n\nBy participating in WeListen sessions\, staff members will:\n- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic\n- Practice discussing difficult topics with others\,\n- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives\,\n- Learn to productively challenge an idea\, and\n- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.\n\nQuestions? Email us at welistenstaff@umich.edu. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the UM Office of DEI and the LSA DEI Implementation Leads.

Deal for the Digital Age DESCRIPTION:American historians debate whether Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Depression-era legislation was\, in fact\, a New Deal\, or perhaps an “Old Deal” or a “Raw Deal.” Considering multiple perspectives and voices\, combined with the long sweep of history\, stokes this lively\, ongoing debate. In this CRITICAL x DESIGN talk\, Rankin turns her attention to American computing in the 1960s and 1970s to consider whether the academic networks of that era may be inspiration for a Digital New Deal. \n\nThe users of 1960s and 1970s academic computing networks built\, accessed\, and participated in cooperative digital commons\, developing now-quotidian practices of personal computing and social media. In the process\, they became what she calls “computing citizens.” She uses several case studies to illustrate the dynamic - and unexpected - relationships among gender\, community\, computing\, and citizenship\, including the Old Deals and the Raw Deals of computing citizenship. How might these computing citizens inform crucial contemporary debates about technology and justice?\n\nAbout the speaker\nDr. Joy Lisi Rankin is a feministi\, anti-racist historian\, and a Contributing Editor for Lady Science. She is also a consultant for the documentaries The Birth of BASIC and The Queen of Code and for the television show Girls Code. Rankin was an Exchange Scholar at MIT while earning her doctorate in History from Yale University\, as well as a Visiting Scholar at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

However\, a related phenomenon\, male-mediated prenatal loss\, has received considerably less attention. Male-mediated prenatal loss occurs when inseminated or pregnant females terminate reproductive effort following exposure to a non-sire male\, either through implantation failure or pregnancy termination. Male-mediated prenatal loss encompasses two sub-phenomena: sexually selected feticide and the Bruce effect. In this talk\, I will walk through three different evolutionary scenarios in three species of primate - the yellow baboon\, the gelada\, and the chacma baboon - to lay out a framework that explains the relationship between infanticide\, feticide\, and the Bruce effect and describes the proximate and ultimate mechanisms involved for each. I argue that male-mediated prenatal loss may have played a greater role in mammalian social evolution than has previously been documented.

The limited adoption of machine learning in healthcare to date points to the fact that there remain important challenges. In this talk\, I will highlight two key challenges related to applying machine learning in healthcare: i) interpretability and ii) small sample size. First\, machine learning has often been criticized for producing ‘black boxes.’ In this talk\, I will argue that interpretability is neither necessary nor sufficient\, demonstrating that even interpretable models can lack common sense. To address this issue\, we propose a novel regularization method that enables the incorporation of domain knowledge during model training\, leading to increased robustness. Second\, machine learning techniques benefit from large amounts of data. However\, oftentimes in healthcare we find ourselves in data poor settings (i.e.\, small sample sizes). I will show how domain knowledge can help guide architecture choices and efficiently make use of available data. In summary\, there’s a critical need for machine learning in healthcare\; however\, the safe and meaningful adoption of these techniques requires close collaboration in interdisciplinary teams.\n\nBio: \nJenna Wiens is a Morris Wellman Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

The characterization of this upper atmosphere reservoir (composed of neutrals and ions) is therefore one of the major science objectives of the NASA Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN Mission (MAVEN). MAVEN also provides a unique opportunity for the first time to sample the upper atmosphere systematically during a global dust storm event\, thereby capturing feedbacks among the processes occurring across these atmospheric regions. Connections to the Mars lower atmosphere are gleaned from concurrent non-MAVEN observations.\n The recent planet encircling dust event (PEDE-2018) started May 30\, 2018\, as viewed in imaging from the MRO/MARCI (Mars Context Imager). The growth of the dust storm over the next 6-weeks (up to 10-July) witnessed the horizontal redistribution of dust around the planet (lofting dust up to ~60-70 km)\, resulting in substantial warming of middle atmosphere temperatures (~25-80 km) as observed by the MRO/MCS (Mars Climate Sounder). Corresponding upper atmosphere (~150-220 km) responses by neutral densities\, temperatures\, and winds were measured by the MAVEN/NGIMS (Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer)\, the MAVEN/IUVS (Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrometer) during this onset period\, and the 2-month decay phase that followed. NGIMS measured neutral composition includes major gas species (e.g. He\, O\, CO\, N2\, O\, Ar and CO2). IUVS measured dayside CO2+ UVD airglow emissions\, from which CO2 densities and corresponding temperatures can be extracted. The time evolving density\, temperature\, and wind fields during the PEDE-2018 event will be presented.\nCorresponding Mars Global Ionosphere-Thermosphere Model (M-GITM) predictions can be compared to these NGIMS (IUVS) measurements along orbit tracks (along tangent height paths). New M-GITM model simulation are driven by time-evolving solar EUV-UV fluxes (measured by the MAVEN/EUVM–Extreme Ultraviolet Monitor) plus time-evolving dust opacities (measured by the MRO/MCS) during the onset and decay phases of the storm. This data-model study provides a first look at the processes driving these upper atmosphere variations and the dust storm trends gleaned from these MAVEN measurements.

Consequently\, a consistent modeling of the coupling between mechanical\, electric and electronic properties of these materials is essential in predicting the effects of mechanical loading on the overall electronic response of semiconductor devices. \n\n To this end\, we first develop a general fully coupled mechanical\, electrical and electronic continuum model of the finitely deformable semiconductors\, which accounts for the strain-dependence of the band edge energies\, densities of states and electronic mobilities. Governing equations are derived from the appropriate conservation laws using the direct approach (control volume) of continuum thermodynamics. It is found that there exist electronic-induced strains that can be an order of magnitude more than the electromagnetic-induced (Maxwell) ones.\n\n Next\, motivated by photovoltaics applications involving bending\, we use asymptotic methods in conjunction with the proposed general theory to compute current-voltage characteristic of a p-n junction subjected to non-uniform strains. It is found that for a typical mono-crystalline silicon solar cell\, the dark current changes are rather significant\, of the order of 20% for strains of 0.2%. A series of recent experiments on uniformly strained photovoltaic p-n Si junctions\, show that in spite of the highly complex phenomena involved\, calculations give reasonable results.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nProf. Triantafyllidis has obtained his Ph.D. in engineering from Brown University in 1980. The same year he joined the faculty of the Aerospace faculty of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor\, MI\, USA from where he retired as emeritus Professor in the Departments of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanical Engineering & Applied Mechanics. In 2009 he moved to France to become CNRS Director of Research in the Solid Mechanics Laboratory (LMS) and a Professor of Mechanics at the Ecole Polytechnique of France.\n\n His research is in the areas of stability in solids and structures\, structural mechanics and nonlinear continuum mechanics.

Sexual Harassment: The Law\, the Politics and the Movement DESCRIPTION:Professor Catharine A. MacKinnon will address the politics and law of sexual harassment\, focusing on its violation of equality rights\, in light of the #MeToo movement\, exploring those developments in light of the theory of her most recent book\, \"Butterfly Politics: Changing the World for Women.\"\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by: Center for the Education of Women+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of Sociology\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Law School\, and Women's Studies Department.\n\nCatharine A. MacKinnon is the Elizabeth A. Long Professor of Law at Michigan Law and the long-term James Barr Ames Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. She holds a BA from Smith College\, a JD from Yale Law School\, and a PhD in political science from Yale. She specializes in sex equality issues under international and domestic (including comparative\, criminal\, and constitutional) law. She pioneered the legal claim for sexual harassment and\, with Andrea Dworkin\, created ordinances recognizing pornography as a civil rights violation and the Swedish model for abolishing prostitution. The Supreme Court of Canada has largely accepted her approaches to equality\, pornography\, and hate speech\, which have been influential internationally as well. Representing Bosnian women survivors of Serbian genocidal sexual atrocities\, she won with co-counsel a damage award of $745 million in August 2000 in Kadic v. Karadzic under the Alien Tort Act\, the first recognition of rape as an act of genocide. Among the schools at which she has taught are Yale\, Stanford\, Chicago\, Harvard\, Osgoode Hall (Toronto)\, Basel (Switzerland)\, Hebrew University (Jerusalem)\, and Columbia. She was awarded residential fellowships at the Institute for Advanced Study\, Stanford\, the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin\, and the University of Cambridge. Professor MacKinnon's scholarly books include the casebook Sex Equality (2001/2007)\, Are Women Human? (2006)\, Women's Lives\, Men's Laws (2005)\, Only Words (1993)\, Toward a Feminist Theory of the State (1989)\, Feminism Unmodified (1987)\, and Sexual Harassment of Working Women (1979). She is widely published in journals\, the popular press\, and many languages. Professor MacKinnon practices and consults nationally and internationally and works regularly with Equality Now\, an NGO promoting international sex equality rights for women\, and the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women. Serving as the first special gender adviser to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (The Hague) from 2008 to 2012\, she implemented her concept of \"gender crime.\" In 2014\, she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Association of American Law Schools Women's Division and was elected to the American Law Institute. Studies document that Professor MacKinnon is among the most widely-cited legal scholars in the English language. \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.

Villagers were forcibly examined and injected with medications with severe\, sometimes fatal\, side effects. We digitized thirty years of archival records to document the locations of campaign visits at a granular geographic level for five central African countries. We find that greater historical exposure to the campaigns reduces trust in medicine -- measured by willingness to consent to a free\, non-invasive blood test -- and decreases vaccination rates. The resulting mistrust is specific to the medical sector. We examine relevance for present-day health initiatives\; we find that World Bank projects in the health sector are less successful in areas with greater exposure to the campaigns.

In one project\, we have used the change in fluorescence intensity to image the transformation of individual lead bromide (PbBr2) nanocrystals to methylammonium lead bromide (CH3NH3PbBr3) via intercalation of CH3NH3Br. Analyzing this reaction one nanocrystal at a time reveals information that is masked when the fluorescence intensity is averaged over many particles. Sharp rises in the intensity of single nanocrystals indicate they transform much faster than the time it takes for the ensemble average to transform. Based on these observations\, we propose a phase-transformation model in which the solid-state immiscibility between PbBr2 and CH3NH3PbBr3 initially create a high energy barrier for ion intercalation. \nIn related work\, we have used chemically-triggered fluorogenic probes to study the spatial distribution of catalytically active regions in individual tungsten oxide nanowires using super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. Activation of the first probe molecule requires photoexcitation above the bandgap of the semiconductor to generate hydroxyl radicals. The second reaction does not require photoexcitation but instead relies on the presence of either oxygen vacancies or hydroxyl groups at the surface of the nanowires. Through quantitative\, coordinate-based colocalization of probe molecules activated by the same nanowires\, we demonstrate that the nanoscale regions most active for the photocatalytic generation of hydroxyl radicals also possess a greater concentration of oxygen vacancies.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nBryce Sadtler (Washington University in St. Louis) UID:52808-13081673@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52808 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190329T155151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190411T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190411T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:No Thursday Seminar today DESCRIPTION:See you next week for our last seminar of the semester!

They need to allow more intimate contact with human beings to enable advanced health monitoring\, disease detection\, medical therapies\, and human-machine interfacing. However\, current electronics are rigid\, non-degradable and cannot self-repair\, while the human body is soft\, dynamic\, stretchable\, biodegradable and self-healing. Therefore\, it is critical to develop a new class of electronic materials that incorporate skin-like properties\, including stretchability for conformable integration\, minimal discomfort and suppressed invasive reactions\; self-healing for long-term durability under harsh mechanical conditions\; and biodegradability for reducing environmental impact and obviating the need for secondary device removal for medical implants. These demands have fueled the development of a new generation of electronic materials\, primarily comprised of polymers and polymer composites with both high electrical performance and skin-like properties\, and consequently led to a new paradigm of electronics\, termed “skin-inspired electronics”. In this talk\, I will discuss our general material design concepts to realize skin-like properties without compromising electronic properties. Such fundamental understandings will allow us to further develop skin-inspired materials to meet future requirements for various new applications.\n\nBIO\n\nZhenan Bao joined Stanford University in 2004.
