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

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

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. 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.

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. The planning committee includes staff members from the Ginsberg Center\, the International Institute\, LSA Psychology\, the Opportunity Hub\, UM Poverty Solutions\, and the UM Shared Services Center.

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.

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.

Yet\, this type of severely maladaptive behavior are also well-known and studied in the field of human psychology\, clinical medicine and education. Sociologists\, too\, have demonstrated that group behaviors in the context of resource management can have major costs for individuals\, possibly at the level of entire societies and in ways that can lead to their collapse. I bring together concepts and case studies from these diverse topical areas under the conceptual framework of evolutionary traps to discuss its efficacy and utility in describing\, and addressing the causes of human maladaptive behavior.

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. Over the years he has worked in sheet metal forming problems\, large flexible space structures\, composites and cellular materials\, the geomechanics of the earth’s crust and stability issues in homogenization problems. More recently he worked on the thermomechanical stability of shape memory crystals. His recent interests are in multiphysics – i.e. problems involving interactions between mechanical\, electromagnetic and electronic effects in solids – with applications in magneto-elasticity\, electromagnetic forming\, strain effects in semiconductors and flexible photovoltaics as well as in biomechanics.\n\nProf. Triantafyllidis has collaborated extensively with researchers on both sides of the Atlantic and has served\, through different functions\, the international solid mechanics community. His was awarded the Koiter Medal from the ASME and the Doisteau-Blutet Prize from the French Academy of sciences in 2010.

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!

Katz Lectureship in Chemical Engineering DESCRIPTION:Zhenan Bao\nK. K. Lee Professor\, School of Engineering\nSenior Fellow\, Precourt Institute for Energy \nStanford University\n\nABSTRACTS\n\nLecture 1: April 11\, 2019\, 5:30 pm \nGlick Ballroom\, Postma Family Clubhouse\n\nSkin-Inspired Electronics\n \nSkin is the body’s largest organ\, and is responsible for the transduction of a vast amount of information. This conformable\, stretchable\, self-healable and biodegradable material simultaneously collects signals from external stimuli that translate into information such as pressure\, pain\, and temperature. The development of electronic materials\, inspired by the complexity of this organ is a tremendous\, unrealized materials challenge. However\, the advent of organic-based electronic materials may offer a potential solution to this longstanding problem. In this talk\, I will describe the design of organic electronic materials to mimic skin functions. These new materials and new devices enabled arrange of new applications in medical devices\, robotics and wearable electronics.\n \n\n\n \nLecture 2: April 12\, 2019\, 9:00 am\nResearch Auditorium\, B10 Research Auditorium\n\nSkin-Inspired Electronic Material Design\n\nFuture electronics will take more important roles in people’s life. 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.

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.

The meaning of the past and threats to the future are hotly contested. Scientists simultaneously proclaim epochal ruptures and extrapolate present trends into the next millennium. New technologies promise to help us “be present” even as they stretch our attentions to the breaking point. The nature of time is of central importance to modern intellectual\, cultural\, and political life\, and STS is well-positioned to address how divergent temporalities structure our public and private lives\, environmental imaginaries\, and embodied experiences. Recent work on the sciences of prediction and forecasting\, the vital politics of science fiction\, and the Anthropocene suggest some of the many ways scholars of STS can and should intervene in broader debates that trouble the present moment.\n\nPanels: Experiencing Time\, Embodying Time\; Apocalyse Now?\; Scholarship NOW\; Is Ancient Science Studies an Anachronism?

This conformable\, stretchable\, self-healable and biodegradable material simultaneously collects signals from external stimuli that translate into information such as pressure\, pain\, and temperature. The development of electronic materials\, inspired by the complexity of this organ is a tremendous\, unrealized materials challenge. However\, the advent of organic-based electronic materials may offer a potential solution to this longstanding problem. In this talk\, I will describe the design of organic electronic materials to mimic skin functions. These new materials and new devices enabled arrange of new applications in medical devices\, robotics and wearable electronics.\n \n\n\n \nLecture 2: April 12\, 2019\, 9:00 am\nResearch Auditorium\, B10 Research Auditorium\n\nSkin-Inspired Electronic Material Design\n\nFuture electronics will take more important roles in people’s life. 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.

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. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W.

German and Vietnamese Refugees: Interactions and Comparisons DESCRIPTION:This paper examines Germany as a country of and for refugees by focusing on two waves of refugees. The first is the influx of German refugees from Eastern Europe after the Second World War\; the second is the influx of Vietnamese refugees to Western Germany and Vietnamese contract laborers to Eastern Germany around 1979. The paper asks a number of questions about the concept of ‘empathy’\, about humanitarian ethics\, and about global and national politics. It attempts to develop a comparative approach. \n\n---\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

A real data example of an intervention for learning rotational skills in spatial reasoning is used to illustrate restricted latent class models for item responses\, known as cognitive diagnosis models\, that are coupled with transition models for learning. An array of possibilities are considered that include models with explanatory variables\, such as intervention and practice effects\, as well as more parsimonious first-order Markov models. In addition\, we consider a higher-order continuous variable that may be thought of as general learning ability. The value of response times in assessing learning is considered\, and the concept of fluency in which learned attributes are applied more and more easily is introduced. Extensions of the models that include parameters for the instructional value of individual items are given\, and MCMC methods for fitting the models are discussed along with results from numerical studies. An R package that includes the spatial reasoning dataset and tools for fitting learning models is reviewed and future directions and new possibilities for applying learning models in e-learning environments are discussed.

The story of Backyard Brains\, alternative academia and the Neurorevolution DESCRIPTION:More people have Ph.D.s than ever before\, and yet the amount of traditional academic jobs at universities hasn’t increased with the supply. For many\, the uncertainty of their academic careers can be overwhelming: often having to choose between leaving academia all together\, or waiting a very long time for a position to open up. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? In this talk\, Greg Gage argues for an alternate academic career—one where you can be a true academic outside of the university setting—by using entrepreneurship. You can perform original research\, publish papers and present at conferences outside of the hallowed halls of an institution: and grad students are the perfect fit. Here\, Gage will share how to take the ideas generated at school and turn them into a business. Now is a really great time to be an entrepreneur\, and Gage will show you how.

We identify a canonical class of mechanisms rich enough to replicate the payoffs of any equilibrium in a mechanism-selection game between an uninformed designer and a privately informed agent. A cornerstone of our methodology is the idea that a mechanism should encode not only the rules that determine the allocation\, but also the information the designer obtains from the interaction with the agent. Therefore\, how much the designer learns\, which is the key tension in design with limited commitment\, becomes an explicit part of the design. We show how this insight can be used to transform the designer’s problem into a constrained optimization one: To the usual truthtelling and participation constraints\, one must add the designer’s sequential rationality constraint.\n\nJonit with Vasiliki Skreta UID:58627-14520009@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 301 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190411T082632 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190412T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190412T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Afrofuturist Challenges to Humanism: The Fiction of Sharon Dodua Otoo DESCRIPTION:In her short story\, “Herr Gröttrup setzt sich hin\,” Sharon Otoo engages with the topic of posthumanism from an Afrofuturist perspective in this parody of an encounter between a German married couple at breakfast. Riffing on famous German comic Loriot’s sketch\, “The Breakfast Egg\,” which mocked the lack of communication between husbands and wives from the perspective of the husband\, Otoo’s story is a feminist re-reading of this scenario that strips the white man of his agency by granting agency to a breakfast egg that has refused to cook properly. In this story\, the posthumanist strategy of granting agency and reflection to non-human objects allows readers to consider who else in German history might have been treated similarly – Women? People of color? Queer folx? It is therefore fitting that the story ends with Herr Gröttrup’s interaction with his non-German maid\, a woman whose presence he was unaware of until then because her status as a woman\, a domestic worker and a non-German made her and her labor invisible to him. It is only on the day that he contemplates the possibility of the egg having agency that he is able to really see the others who populate his world.

According to one view of the metaphysics of equivalence - of what equivalence consists in - equivalent theories say the same thing about fundamental reality\, understood in a certain fine-grained way. According a second view\, which I call \"quotienting\" (short for \"quotienting-out conventional content by hand\")\, theories may be equivalent even when we cannot state\, in an intrinsic or \"artifact-free\" way\, the content that the theories have in common. These two views are in a sense the extremes. The first view (which I accept) leads to uncomfortable conclusions about the kinds of questions that are genuine (e.g.\, whether negation and conjunction\, as opposed to negation and disjunction\, form the metaphysically correct basis for propositional logic). The second is dizzying\, but sheds light on various otherwise perplexing viewpoints in metaphysics\, philosophy of physics\, and philosophy of mathematics.

The talk will focus on 3 examples. The first draws from our work on risks associated with the mining industry and highlights the significant spatial and temporal correlation or concentration of risk across global assets that may be owned by the same company. Implications for supply chains\, commodity markets and risk premiums are briefly discussed.The second example focuses on livestock mortality in Mongolia at a national scale that is determined by a combination of climatic factors. In this example\, I will introduce a stochastic simulator that can allow a characterization of the aggregate risk accounting for the spatial correlation of tail risk. An application to index insurance for the Government of Mongolia provides the context. The third example pertains to the securitization of financial risk for an energy utility in Uruguay\, where both the utility and the government face significant financial risk in the event of a drought disrupting hydropower production. A strategy for the simulation of the system\, and of a combination of financial instruments to select the optimal risk hedging strategy through an allocation to the different financial instruments is provided.\n\nDr. Upmanu Lall is the Director of the Columbia Water Center and the Alan and Carol Silberstein Professor of Engineering\, and the Chair of the Dept. of Earth & Environmental Engineering at Columbia University.

Conceiving of filmed space as a tensile relationship between a film’s onscreen space and its defining social spaces\, which together constitute a film’s visual appearance and its institutional materiality\, I look at the ways in which Bollywood’s backgrounds register India’s politico-economic transitions. The composition and appearance of a film’s backgrounds encode socio-economic histories of India’s transition from an era of economic protectionism to the current phase of privatization and the commodification of everyday life. Based on my interviews with professionals who work on producing Hindi cinema’s locations and backgrounds\, conducted in the months leading up to the national elections that put Narendra Modi in power in 2014\, this talk proposes a spatial film historiography to account for the complex spatialities of a media form and society\, when both are in transition.\n\nPriya Jaikumar is Associate Professor at the Division of Cinema and Media Studies in the School of Cinematic Arts\, University of Southern California.

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.

Instead of the usual dose of action and suspense one expects of this genre\, watching this dense 140-minute political drama unfold is like fumbling through a long tunnel that’s nonetheless worth it when the ray of light emerges at the end.

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.

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.

From Montenegro to the Red Carpet: A Life of Giving DESCRIPTION:Emina Cunmulaj Nazarian was born in Farmington Hills\, Michigan in 1984 to Albanian parents from Montenegro. She spent her childhood on a farm at the footstep of Montenegrin hills\, helping with chores\, earning good grades\, and participating in village life. Emina has fond memories of those years\, but what stands out to her was the fatalistic view of the plight of women\, which motivated her to follow an atypical path. At 15\, she was selected to represent Yugoslavia in a global modeling competition\, leading to a successful modeling career that included appearances in Vogue\, Elle\, Marie Claire\, and work for the fashion houses Chanel\, Jean-Paul Gaultier\, Valentino\, Gucci\, Dolce & Gabbana\, Giorgio Armani\, and Roberto Cavalli.\n\nBut Emina was destined to pursue philanthropy. From a young age\, she witnessed her mother’s generosity as the family harbored\, fed\, and dressed fugitives of war during the Balkan conflict in the ’90s. As a result\, Emina constantly seeks to promote humanitarian endeavors and organizations such as the Fundjavë Ndryshe\, which she discovered in the summer of 2017 on a trip to rural Albania. Her involvement intensified\, and in 2018 she helped secure food supplies\, wood burning stoves\, and new homes for needy families in Albania. Emina is currently the Chief Operating Officer of Fundjavë Ndryshe and is actively planning her next Albanian campaign this summer. Her talk will explore “the love that I give and share with those in need\,” the potential for a better life for many\, and how to channel our capacity for good to make the world a better place.

Seven buildings are recognized as National Historic Landmarks of modern architecture and numerous others are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.\n\nJ. Irwin Miller\, the head of Cummins Industries\, a company which designs and builds diesel engines\, and a fan of modern architecture\, felt that great architecture would not only enhance the community but also attract a highly qualified\, international workforce to live in soybean country 45 miles south of Indianapolis. \n\nIn the 1950’s the Cummins Foundation agreed to fund the design fees for public schools if they would select architects from a list that Miller had prepared. The architects listed were the leaders in their profession. The program was later expanded to other public and non-profit institutions. \n\nToday\, a collection of outstanding schools\, civic buildings\, and commercial structures are the lasting result of Miller’s vision.\n\nDeparting from Ann Arbor by a first class bus\, we will arrive in the community of West Baden\, IN.\, located in the vicinity of many mineral springs which attracted a large number of visitors and the development of a number of fine hotels and resorts. Outstanding among these is the West Baden Springs Hotel\, where we will be spending the first night. The hotel is known for its atrium\, covered with a 200 foot diameter dome. The hotel is a National Historic Landmark and we will have a guided tour of the facility prior to dinner in the Grand Colonnade.\n\nThe following morning we will return to the bus for a short drive to Columbus.

While personal meaning in life has been well studied as a correlate and predictor of many personal well-being outcomes\, it is unclear how relational meaning in life (i.e.\, the meaning in life that one has through their relationships with others) contributes to well-being\, especially to other relational/interpersonal well-being outcomes (e.g.\, family life satisfaction\, positive relationships\, quality of relationships). In this presentation I will share some of the findings from my dissertations studies. Study 1 sought to examine for the factor structure and reliability of the Relational Meaning in Life Questionnaire (RMLQ). Study 2 sought to examine for the role of the RMLQ in predicting well-being and adjustment outcomes\, above and beyond personal meaning in life. Finally\, Study 3 sought to further examine for the role of the RMLQ in predicting variance in other well-being and adjustment outcomes above and beyond social support. Findings\, implications\, and future directions will be discussed.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nBounded rationality is a frequently used construct in both psychology and economics that is generally meant represent the idea that human decisions often deviate from optimal decisions when the decision problem is narrowly and precisely defined\; however\, these decisions are brought into closer alignment when the problem is expanded to include the known constraints of human cognition\, such as the costs of mental effort and the feasibility of computing optimal solutions. In this paper\, I propose a general framework for bounded rationality in which actual thinking and deciding is compared to optimal thinking and deciding. More specifically\, actual learning and inference is compared to Bayesian updating\, actual attention and memory is compared to the full use of available information and rational inattention\, actual planning is compared to forward-looking cost/benefit analysis\, and actual preference and choice are compared to utility maximization. The basis of these comparisons is a set of ten empirical results from my own research. My general conclusions are that\, as humans\, (1) we are very good at selecting important information\, learning from past experience\, and similarity-based reasoning\, and (2) pretty good at verbal and non-verbal communication\, simple symbolic inference and predicting the very near future\, but (3) we are quite poor at complex problem solving and understanding the long-term consequences of our current actions.

Expectancy-Value Theory DESCRIPTION:Which occupation to pursue is one of the most consequential decisions people make\, and represents a key developmental task\, with long-term implications for job satisfaction\, job performance\, and psychological wellbeing. Accordingly\, it is important to understand the underlying developmental processes associated with either individual or group differences in occupational choices. Programmatic research grounded in Eccles’ et al. expectancy-value theory (EVT) was designed to contribute towards a better understanding of such choices. The theory’s basic premise is that individuals choose to engage in tasks and activities that have high value to them and at which they expect to succeed. For instance\, individuals who believe to be good at and expect to be successful in math\, and who value math as an academic subject\, should be more likely to pursue and attain math-intensive careers than individuals with less positive math self-perceptions. In addition\, EVT specifies four components of subjective task value (intrinsic interest\, utility\, attainment value\, and cost) and outlines a comprehensive set of their antecedents and consequences. I will present a set of studies\, in which we use EVT to longitudinally investigate the relations between adolescents’ math- and language arts-related expectancy/value beliefs and career aspirations (reported at the end of high school)\, as well as pathways towards adult career attainment (reported about 15 years after high school). Furthermore\, I will focus on potential gender differences in academic self-perceptions and career trajectories\, in particular in math-intensive fields. Finally\, drawing on both EVT and the Dimensional Comparison Theory (DCT) we will examine potential negative cross-domain influences in the prediction of individual career trajectories. For instance\, prior evidence suggests that individuals with high math and high verbal abilities are less likely to attain math-intensive careers than individuals with high math\, but only moderate verbal abilities\; and actual and perceived verbal ability and academic values negatively predict math-related career aspirations. Our research expands upon this evidence by examining analogous longitudinal cross-domain effects for both math- and language arts-related career outcomes.

Re-framing real-world questions as machine learning tasks requires not only adapting and extending models and algorithms to new or special cases but also sufficient breadth to know the right method for the right challenge. I’ll first outline how unsupervised\, supervised\, and reinforcement learning methods are increasingly used in human applications for description\, prediction\, and prescription\, respectively. I’ll then focus on the ‘prescriptive’ cases\, showing how methods from the reinforcement learning and causal inference literatures can be of direct impact in engineering\, business\, and decision-making more generally.\n\nBio: At Columbia\, Chris is a founding member of the executive committee of the Data Science Institute\, the Department of Systems Biology\, and is affiliated faculty in Statistics.

As NEC director\, Sperling was the President’s economic adviser responsible for coordinating economic policy and chairing policy meetings with the economic cabinet. The New York Times has called Sperling \"a prolific idea generator.\" Under President Obama\, he served as a key negotiator on fiscal issues and an architect of the payroll tax cut\, expansions of tax credits for low-income Americans\, the Small Business Jobs Act and the American Jobs Act. Under President Clinton\, Sperling was a key architect of the 1993 Deficit Reduction Act and its major expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit and a top negotiator of the 1997 Bipartisan Balanced Budget Act\, He also served as senior counselor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner\, where he helped navigate the financial crisis and was a member of the President’s Auto Task Force and the Treasury’s point person for the Affordable Care Act (ACA). \n\nCurrently\, Sperling heads Sperling Economic Strategies and writes as a contributing editor for The Atlantic.

From 2.4E21 protons on target in neutrino and antineutrino mode\, a total electron-neutrino charged-current quasi-elastic excess of 460.5 +- 99.0 events (4.7 sigma) is observed in the neutrino energy range from 200-1250 MeV. If interpreted in a standard two-neutrino oscillation model\, the best oscillation fit to the excess has a probability of 21.1%\, while the background-only fit has a chisquare probability of 6E-7 relative to the best fit. The MiniBooNE data are consistent in energy and magnitude with the excess of events reported by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND)\, and the significance of the combined LSND and MiniBooNE excesses is 6 sigma. All of the major backgrounds are constrained by in-situ event measurements\, so non-oscillation explanations would need to invoke new anomalous background processes.\n\n UID:62110-15293421@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62110 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190415T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190415T180000 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.

Politics Goes Pear Shaped. Old Regime Cultures and Revolutionary Politics\, ca. 1792-1825 DESCRIPTION:Can the story of a pear help us understand the rise of democracy in the West? This talk uses the career of Louis-Augustin Bosc\, a French revolutionary and botanist—and namesake of the familiar pear—to explore the ambiguous political legacy of the Atlantic revolutions. The talk argues that revolutionary movements in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were united not just by a set of similar political structures and ideologies but by their reliance on a matrix of old regime\, eighteenth-century cultural practices. These old regime practices left a common and illiberal stamp on the polities and political traditions that they helped to create. \n \nNathan Perl-Rosenthal is a historian of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Atlantic world. He focuses on the political and cultural history of Europe and the Americas in the age of revolution\, with particular attention to the transnational influences that shaped modern national politics. He received his PhD in history from Columbia University in 2011\, with a dissertation on epistolarity and revolutionary organizing\, and then in 2015 published a first book on a different topic: \"Citizen Sailors: Becoming American in the Age of Revolution\" (Belknap/Harvard). His current book project is a wide-angle cultural history of the Atlantic age of revolutions\, from the 1760s through the 1820s\, which rethinks the era’s role in creating modern democratic politics. Nathan also maintains interests in early modern legal history\; historical methods and historiography\; and histories of material culture. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

With social inequality reaching astronomical proportions\, the ruling elites are resurrecting all the political filth responsible for the worst crimes of the 20th century.\n\nIn Germany\, the scene of the holocaust and Hitler’s Nazi movement\, fascism is once again rearing its ugly head. A neo-Nazi party\, the Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD)\, is now the main opposition party with high-level support from within the state and academia. Building a mass movement capable of defeating fascism requires learning the lessons of history.\n\nThe lessons of the 1930s show that the fight against fascism requires the independent mobilization of the working class against the capitalist system. Learning these critical lessons is the only way to prevent the disaster of Nazism on an even greater scale today.\n\n* * *\nSpeaker: Christoph Vandreier\, German Trotskyist\, prominent leader of the fight against fascism and author of “Why Are They Back? Historical Falsification\, Political Conspiracy\, and the Return of Fascism in Germany.”\n\nVandreier is Deputy National secretary of the Sozialistiche Gleichheitspartei (Socialist Equality Party\, SGP) in Germany\, which was placed under state surveillance on advise of the neo-Nazi AfD for its “anti-fascist” and “anti-capitalist” politics.

In response to the power of the white gaze against which African Americans have always struggled\, Baldwin launches in this novel a three-part framework of resistance. First\, the narrative exposes the deleterious effects of that gaze on African Americans through underscoring the state’s visible violence. Second\, it opens up spaces for the counter-gaze as a means of resistance to the state’s racist gaze\, even as it shows the limitations of the exclusive use of counter-gazing as a resistance strategy. Third\, Baldwin’s narrative also employs sound-based resistance to more effectively counteract the damage that the white gaze causes in the lives of his black characters. In this context\, I argue that Baldwin’s tripartite framework of resistance is effective\, as it does not privilege sight over sound and in so doing does not adopt the same gaze-based framework of the oppressor. On the contrary\, what If Beale demonstrates\, I show\, is how to reshape the contours of resistance\, engaging—wittingly or unwittingly—philosophical approaches that concern themselves with auditory and visual ways of knowing and resisting power\, which I call audision. While lending itself to the theoretical and thematic aspects of the novel\, this tripartite framework extends as well to the novel’s structure. Baldwin produces an art form that urges readers not only to read but also to listen\, a new novelistic form that opens up possibilities for multisensory resistance without (fore)closing them.\n\nPlease email Hayley O'Malley (hayleyom@umich.edu) or Joshua Miller (joshualm@umich.edu) if you are interested in receiving the paper\, which will be available on Monday\, April 8th. \n\nMahmoud Zidan is an assistant professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Jordan. His interests include African American literature during the Cold War\, postcolonial studies\, Palestinian literature\, native-speakerism\, and contemporary fiction.

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.

And yet two-thirds of American adults cannot name a single living scientist\, and the gap continues to widen between the informed conclusions of scientists and public understanding. Political divisions increasingly dictate science’s role in public discourse as well as funding priorities. With many researchers lacking a command of effective communication strategies\, science often punches below its weight when it comes to influencing policy on vital issues such as climate change\, vaccinations and science education.\n\nIn this interactive talk\, science journalist Tom Clynes will present ways to harness the power of narrative to create compelling and influential stories that bridge the divide between scientists and the public. Emerging evidence-based communication strategies and a shifting media landscape have opened up new possibilities (and a few pitfalls too) that can empower researchers who seek a broader audience for discoveries that might otherwise languish in lecture halls and academic journals.\n\nTom Clynes is an award-winning author and photojournalist who travels the world covering science and environmental issues. His feature stories have appeared in National Geographic\, Nature\, The New York Times Magazine\, Nature\, Popular Science\, and Scientific American\, among other publications. \n\nTom is the author of three books\, including\, most recently\, The Boy Who Played With Fusion\, which tells the story of the 14-year-old who became the youngest person on Earth to build a working nuclear fusion reactor.

Nature\, 2001\; Pickens et al. TINS\, 2011). In these studies\, the rats were removed from their drug self-administration environment during extended periods of forced abstinence. More recently\, we have established a rat model in which we observe incubation of drug craving after extended periods of voluntary abstinence in the drug environment. Voluntary abstinence is achieved using a mutually exclusive discrete choice procedure in which food-sated male and female rats with prior extended history of intravenous methamphetamine or heroin self-administration can choose every day (20 trials per day) between the palatable food and the drug. In this lecture\, I will present our behavioral\, pharmacological\, and brain circuit characterization of incubation of drug craving after voluntary abstinence. I will also introduce a novel relapse model in which voluntary abstinence is achieved by providing the rats an alternative social reward. \n\n\n\nBiography: Yavin Shaham received his BS and MA from the Hebrew U\, Jerusalem\, and his PhD from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences\, Bethesda\, MD.

An organism that epitomizes both the urgency and challenges associated with this threat is carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). CRKP was first observed in a clinical case in 1996\, in a hospital in North Carolina. Since that time\, successful lineages of CRKP have spread across the globe\, becoming endemic in healthcare networks in many regions. This increasing prevalence of CRKP poses a great risk to hospitalized patients\, as crude mortality rates for CRKP infections can be upwards of 50 percent. Moreover\, the threat associated with CRKP continues to escalate\, with numerous reports of CRKP that are resistant to even last-line antibiotics\, leaving affected patients with limited treatment options.\n\nThe lack of effective treatments for CRKP infections places an even greater importance on prevention of CRKP transmission. A major hindrance to CRKP prevention is a lack of understanding of the patient factors and clinical practices that influence the risk of transmission. In this presentation I will discuss both published and ongoing work aimed at analyzing whole genome sequences of CRKP isolates from patients\, along with detailed data on clinical exposures and locations to understand the sites and drivers of transmission. Ultimately\, we hope this work will help us understand the drivers of CRKP transmission across regional healthcare networks and identify modifiable risk factors that can be targeted to help control the CRKP epidemic.

His work focuses on the use of cost-benefit analysis in administrative regulation\, federalism and environmental regulation\, design of liability regimes for environmental protection\, and positive political economy analysis of environmental regulation. His book Retaking Rationality: How Cost-Benefit Analysis Can Better Protect the Environment and Our Health (with Michael Livermore ’06\, 2008) contends that the economic analysis of law can be used to support a more protective approach to environmental and health policy. In 2008\, Revesz co-founded the Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU School of Law to advocate for regulatory reform before courts\, legislatures\, and agencies\, and to contribute original scholarly research in the environmental and health-and-safety areas. Revesz received a BS summa cum laude from Princeton University\, an MS in civil engineering from MIT\, and a JD from Yale Law School\, where he was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal.

DESCRIPTION:On April 27\, 2012\, Birame Abeid\, a renowned Mauritanian activist planned carefully and executed the public burning of several books of Islamic jurisprudence. Nearly two years later\,​ ​in December 2014\, Muhamed Mkhaitir\, a blogger claiming to speak for the community of “blacksmiths”\, published a lengthy text in which he accuses the Prophet Muhammad himself of “favoritism.\" Both offenders claimed afterwards they only wanted to denounce the ways in which the local elite has been consistently using Islam and Sharia to sanction the oppression/marginalization of former slaves and other occupational groups. In so doing\, these human rights activists have indeed thrown their country\, a self-proclaimed Islamic Republic\, into an uproar. As they no doubt must have expected\, their unprecedented religious offenses sparked nationwide protests. With few exceptions\, almost all political figures and religious elites campaigned for their execution for “apostasy” in accordance with the (Islamic) law of the land. Yet\, despite being promptly arrested and thrown in jail\, the two “defendants” were ultimately able to essentially get away with blasphemy. In this presentation\, I draw on a treasure trove of qualitative data collected on the field over several years in order to demonstrate that\, at least in this context\, what is at stake in these \"blasphemy controversies” has less to do with the usual tension between secular criticism and religious censure and more to do with ongoing public negotiations over what it means to be Muslims amid heated political debates over race\, gender\, social hierarchies\, belonging\, citizenship and inequality. Shifting the focus away from the usual framing of blasphemy accusations in terms of conflict between religious freedom and Islamic taboos\, I offer a detailed comparative account of these two “cases” in order to go beyond the notion that “outdated\, medieval blasphemy laws” illustrate the so-called stand-off between Islam and liberal democratic values.” \n\nZekeriah Ould Ahmed Salem is Associate Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University and Director of The Institute for the Study of Islamic Thought in Africa in the Program of African Studies. He specializes in Islam and Muslim Politics in Africa in comparative perspective. His research engages contemporary academic debates regarding religion and politics\, especially the interplay in contemporary African societies of a variety of issues such as: the state\, religious authority\, race\, social hierarchies\, identity politics\, Islamic knowledge and political power. Ahmed Salem secondary research interests include everyday negotiations over citizenship\, bureaucratization and the Institutionalization of the state in Africa. \n\nHe is the author of: Prêcher dans le Desert: Islam\, Politique et Changement Social en Mauritanie (published by Karthala\, Paris\, in 2013\, with an English translation forthcoming as Preaching in the Desert: Islam\, Politics and Social Change in Mauritania) and the editor of: Trajectoires d’un Etat-Frontière. Espaces\, Evolutions Politiqiues et Transformations Sociales en Mauritanie (Dakar\, Council for The Development of Social Research In Africa\, Book Series: 2004). \nHis research appeared in numerous book chapters. His journal articles are published in : The Journal of North African Studies\, Canadian Journal of African Studies\, Nomadic Peoples\, Cahiers d’études africaines\, Islam et Sociétés au Sud du Sahara\, Politique Africaine\, Annuaire de l’Afrique du Nord\, L’Ouest Saharien….

Recently they emerged in the nonrelativistic condensed-matter setting as gapless quasiparticle states in some types of crystals. Notable examples of 2D systems include graphene and surface states in topological insulators such as Bi_2Se_3. Their 3D implementation is Dirac and Weyl semimetals. Most of the research has been focused on their topological properties and electron transport. However\, their optical properties are no less exciting. Optical phenomena provide valuable insight into the fascinating physics of these materials. Optical spectroscopy can provide a cleaner and more straightforward way of studying topological properties of electron states as compared to transport measurements. Moreover\, unusual optical properties of these materials can be utilized in future optoelectronic devices. I will discuss several examples illustrating these points. They include bulk and surface polaritons in Weyl semimetals\, magnetooptics of Dirac and Weyl semimetals\, and the nonlocal nonlinear optical response of graphene and topological insulators. \n UID:62977-15528488@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62977 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190107T155520 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T170000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Cross-Campus Transfer Info Sessions DESCRIPTION:If you are enrolled in another University of Michigan-Ann Arbor school or college and are interested in transferring to LSA\, you must attend a transferring to LSA information session.\n\nInfo sessions will be held in Angell Hall\, Room G243 at 4:00 p.m. on the following dates:\n\nMonday\, January 14\nTuesday\, January 22\nMonday\, February 11\nWednesday\, February 27\nTuesday\, March 19\nMonday\, April 1\nTuesday\, April 16\nWednesday\, April 24 UID:59248-14719641@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59248 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Undergraduate LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 Angell Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190501T123007 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Internship Lab DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to start searching for a great internship?

Optimally\, this type of activity would provide them an entry point into the scientific practice of constructing and using models. But\, evidence shows that after participating in traditional approaches to general chemistry students tend to approach mathematical problem solving algorithmically and may struggle to connect mathematical representations to particulate-level ideas. The question becomes: How can we as instructors support students in more meaningful engagement with mathematical and other models in chemistry contexts? Here\, we discuss findings from our research into students’ reasoning about different types of models in the general chemistry sequence and discuss potential routes towards promoting more meaningful engagement in model-based reasoning and mathematical thinking.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nNicole Becker (University of Iowa) UID:62975-15528486@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62975 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190408T140859 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190416T190000 SUMMARY:Other:Dinner with...

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.

We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728347@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190502T063006 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T100000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Health Track: Medical School Application Timeline\, Mechanics & Strategies DESCRIPTION:THIS IS A *CLOSED* SESSION FOR EPID 603.

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.

Despite access to 4 out of 5 Great Lakes\, the past few years have repeatedly demonstrated challenges in providing safe water to all current and future Michigan residents. These challenges have drawn the attention of policy makers and experts\, but a critical component of the discussion on improving water security must be the values and perspectives of impacted community members.\n\nJoin us on April 20th for a discussion between community member panelists and experts in various topics of water security\, as they discuss the challenges and opportunities that Washtenaw County faces in guaranteeing access to clean water for all of its residents and the steps policy makers should take to improve water security now and into the future.\n\nPlease register:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/washtenaw-county-consensus-conference-tickets-59903418738 UID:63212-15593437@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63212 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Politics,Talk,Student Org,Social Impact,Social,Science,Public Policy,Networking,Interdisciplinary,Free,Food,Environment,Discussion,Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190327T143804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Lunch provided. Please RSVP to help us order food: https://goo.gl/forms/yS61hwJmjn88emi13.\n\nPlease join us for a book talk by Rucker C. Johnson (MA '97 Econ\, PhD '02 Econ)\, Associate Professor & NBER\, University of California\, Berkeley & Goldman School of Public Policy.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nWe are frequently told that school integration was a social experiment doomed from the start. But as Rucker C. Johnson demonstrates in Children of the Dream\, it was\, in fact\, a spectacular achievement. Drawing on longitudinal studies going back to the 1960s\, he shows that students who attended integrated and well-funded schools were more successful in life than those who did not — and this held true for children of all races.\n\nYet as a society we have given up on integration. Since the high point of integration in 1988\, we have regressed and segregation again prevails. Contending that integrated\, well-funded schools are the primary engine of social mobility\, Children of the Dream offers a radical new take on social policy. It is essential reading in our divided times.\n\nFor more info\, visit https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/rucker-c-johnson/children-of-the-dream.\n\nAbout the author:\n\nRucker C. Johnson is an Associate Professor in the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and faculty research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. As a labor economist who specializes in the economics of education\, Johnson’s work considers the role of poverty and inequality in affecting life chances.\n\nJohnson was one of 35 scholars to receive the prestigious 2017 Andrew Carnegie Fellowship. His research has appeared in leading academic journals\, featured in mainstream media outlets\, and he has been invited to give policy briefings at the White House and on Capitol Hill. His forthcoming book\, Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works\, will be published by Basic Books & the Russell Sage Foundation Press in April 2019.\n\nJohnson is committed to advance his scholarly agenda of fusing insights from multiple disciplinary perspectives to improve our understanding of the causes\, consequences\, and remedies of inequality in this country. Johnson earned his Ph.D. in economics at the University of Michigan. At UC-Berkeley (2004-present)\, he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in applied econometrics and topical courses in race\, poverty & inequality.\n\nHosted by the Gerald R.

To study this question\, we focus on in-vivo extracellular recordings and computational analyses of spike trains from up to 100 neurons from the hippocampus and cortex during activity and sleep\, combined with optogenetic and chemogenetic manipulations. In this talk\, I will discuss the distinct patterns that we see in these spike trains on multiple timescales and how they change during and across different brain network states. Because these activities are found in the hippocampus\, I will discuss their relationship to memory. Finally\, I will describe current efforts to evaluate the temporal structure in neuronal spike trains using unsupervised machine learning by hidden Markov models.

On the one hand\, weak interactions became inefficient and relic neutrinos decoupled from the cosmic plasma. And\, at the far end\, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis kicked off and the first light nuclei were formed. In between\, electrons and positrons annihilated into photons\, effectively reheating them with respect to the already decoupled neutrinos. The outcome of all these processes can affect the evolution of the Universe from that time until what we know today. In this talk I will focus on the decoupling process of relic neutrinos\, starting with the standard scenario in which we properly accounted for flavour oscillations. Then I will explain how the effective number of relativistic species\, also known as effective number of neutrinos (Neff) is modified assuming some non-standard scenarios. In this way\, comparing the standard value of Neff with present and future observations we can get some insight about physics beyond the Standard Model\, from the presence of non-standard interactions in the neutrino sector to the possibility of having an extra (sterile) neutrino species.

Time-optimal waypoint-following model predictive control (MPC) was inspired by missions such as fast-slewing imaging spacecraft\, which must capture as many ground images as possible before their orbit and the Earth's rotation move the target out of line of sight. In this work\, novel solution approaches to both problems are developed and simulations are presented to illustrate effectiveness in implementation.\n\nThe satellite problem is presented\, then a more general switched controller and estimator system is analyzed that activates one subsystem at the expense of the other. Conditions are derived to construct periodic switching sequences that guarantee eventual satisfaction of probabilistic state and error covariance chance constraints.\n\nThe time-optimal waypoint problem is described in detail and a Mixed-Integer Linear Program (MILP) solution approach proposed. The ability to handle multiple waypoints\, exclusion zones\, and flexible mode dynamics are demonstrated. As the time-optimal solutions are in general non-unique\, a secondary objective function is added. This secondary optimization problem is chosen to be convex\, and so yields a unique solution\, which also is shown to restore Lyapunov stability to the equilibrium.\n\nDissertation Committee:\n Co-Chair: Prof. Anouck Girard\n Co-Chair: Prof. Ilya Kolmanovsky\n Cognate: Prof. Anthony Bloch\n Member: Dr. Frederick Leve\n Member: Dr. Christopher Petersen UID:63149-15578801@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63149 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:aerospace engineering LOCATION:Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building - 1044 FXB McDivitt Conference Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180914T103922 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

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.

Sometimes our modern life is so impersonal that it is almost impossible to get resolution when things go wrong.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Over the past few years\, small non-coding RNAs (smRNAs) have emerged as major regulators of metastatic progression. While micro-RNAs were among the first characterized post-transcriptional regulators of metastasis\, we have now demonstrated that other annotated smRNAs\, such as tRNAs and tRNA fragments\, also impact metastatic progression. In their capacity as master regulators of gene expression\, smRNAs play a major role in development\, normal cell physiology\, and homeostasis. However\, they are often co-opted by cancer cells to help reprogram their gene expression landscape as the disease progresses. Our group has recently discovered a new class of small RNAs\, which we have named orphan non-coding RNAs or oncRNAs [Fish et al\, Nature Med 2018]\, that are largely undetected in normal cells and tissues and emerge as a consequence of cellular transformation. Because they were not previously annotated\, oncRNAs had gone unnoticed in prior studies by us and others that were instead focused on quantitative changes in the expression of common smRNA regulators\, such as miRNAs and tRNA fragments. These oncRNAs\, which we first identified in breast cancer\, provide a pool of new biomolecules with regulatory potential that can be subsequently adopted by tumor cells to carry out new oncogenic functions. We have demonstrated that breast cancer cells adopt a specific oncRNA (named T3p) to regulate the expression of two key promoters of metastasis. This finding demonstrates that oncRNAs can serve as potential building blocks for “cancer-emergent” regulatory pathways. We posit that oncRNA-mediated regulatory interactions add a new layer of complexity to gene regulation in cancers.\n\n3:30 pm to 4:00 pm - Light refreshments in Atrium Hall\, Palmer Commons\n4:00 pm to 5:00 pm - Lecture in Forum Hall\, Palmer Commons UID:62789-15466655@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62789 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Free,Lecture,Medicine,Physics,Research,Science,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190417T181541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Memory\, directed aging and Nature's greed\n DESCRIPTION:In a crystal with only one atom per unit cell\, all atoms play the same role in producing the solid's global response to external perturbations. Disordered materials are not similarly constrained and a new principle emerges: independence of bond-level response. This allows one to drive the system to different regimes of behavior by successively removing individual bonds. We can thus exploit disorder to achieve unique\, varied\, textured and tunable global response or long-range interactions inspired by allosteric behavior in proteins. While this approach is successful for systems with only a few degrees of freedom\, it is difficult to scale up the number of elements to be controlled or scale down the size of the individual components. However\, because a material has a memory of under what conditions it has been aged\, we can direct the aging using Nature's greedy algorithms to achieve a variety of mechanical functionalities.\n UID:62914-15494565@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/62914 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190402T163659 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190417T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Fourth Annual DISC Distinguished Lecture. “More Perfect”: A Politics of Empathy in a Challenging American Moment DESCRIPTION:“We\, the People\, in order to form a more perfect union.” Those are the first eight words of the preamble of our Constitution\, the foundation of our system of government and politics. When I ran for Governor in Michigan\, I aimed to advance universal healthcare\, a sustainable energy system\, access to public goods and services\, and against corporate capture of our economy. And yet the focus was nearly always on my name\, my faith\, and my ethnicity—that I could be “first Muslim Governor.” In union halls\, living rooms\, and town watering holes across Michigan\, I had the opportunity to listen to and learn from Michiganders—as a millennial\, Muslim-American candidate. In this talk\, I reflect on the roles of identity and ideals in our current political moment. I argue for a politics of empathy\, that centers our actions on the systems of oppression\, rather than its symbols\, and embrace the responsibility to speak truth to power\, only after we’ve learned to empathize with pain. I center these in what it means to be “more perfect\,” advancing mutual aims from diverse perspectives in a pluralistic society. \n\nNamed “The new Obama” by The Guardian\, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a physician and public health expert who ran to be the first Muslim-American governor of Michigan. His campaign excited Americans\, with his progressive focus on public health\, education\, diversity\, and dialogue. Before running for governor\, El-Sayed served as Health Commissioner in Detroit\, where he rebuilt Detroit’s Health Department after it had been privatized during the city’s municipal bankruptcy.\n\nPrior to his work in public service\, El-Sayed was tenure-track faculty member at Columbia University’s Department of Epidemiology\; director of the Columbia University Systems Science Program\, and co-director of Global Research for Population Health. El-Sayed holds a doctorate in public health from Oxford University\, where he was a Rhodes Scholar\, as well as an MD from Columbia University. He graduated with Highest Distinction and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Michigan. At graduation\, El-Sayed was selected to deliver the Student Commencement Address alongside President Clinton\, who said of him\, “I just wish every person in the world could have heard you speak today.” \n\nFor full bio\, visit http://myumi.ch/6k4q8.\n\nThe Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC) aims to provide students with global perspective on Islam and the Muslim world by coordinating an Islamic studies curriculum across the Big Ten via synchronous videoconferencing and distance learning technology. DISC is supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and housed at the U-M International Institute. The Annual DISC Distinguished Lecture features a prominent scholar or public figure speaking about issues related to Islamic studies. \n\nOrganized by the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC)\, with support from the Global Islamic Studies Center\, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar\, and International Institute.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to digital.islam@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Our broader aims are centered on utilizing these intermediates to deliver structural motifs that are commonly found in drugs and agrochemicals. This lecture will include recent findings that have enabled us to overcome inherent difficulties in aryl radical reactivity\, allowing for the development of highly chemoselective and switchable processes.

Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, the University of Michigan Library\, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR)\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\n  UID:60521-14903623@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Books,Library LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
