DESCRIPTION:Barbara J. Schneider’s studio is in the Starline Factory in Harvard\, Illinois. She has an extensive background in surface design\, and she works with cloth\, paint\, dye and thread.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. 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. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Presentation:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s explores large-scale works of art by Helen Frankenthaler\, Louise Nevelson\, Sam Gilliam\, and Al Loving\, within the context of highly-charged debates of the early 1970s about aesthetics\, politics\, race\, and feminism. This exhibition explores the gendered and racialized terms upon which great art was defined and assessed\, and the strategy of artists to question the identity and aesthetics of the artist making the art. UMMA docents will help visitors look through the lens of the four artists’ works to explore the aesthetic choices inherent in abstraction as well as the acts of staining\, pouring\, draping\, —or even taking apart the wall itself—within this charged political context.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
DESCRIPTION:a musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler\n\nDepartment of Musical Theatre\nDirected by Vincent J. Cardinal\nMusic Direction by Catherine A. Walker\n\nSweeney Todd is a musical melodrama set in the 1840s based on an allegedly true tale. Released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit\, Sweeney vows revenge on the world for the loss of his family. With the assistance of his unhinged landlady Mrs. Lovett\, Sweeney reaps vengeance through his barbershop that is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Mrs. Lovett’s brilliant idea of how to deal with the aftermath of Todd’s handiwork makes her pie shop and the barber’s chair the most popular place in London. Will Sweeney’s obsession prevent him from recognizing a chance of salvation or will madness overwhelm all? \n\nOpening on Broadway in 1979\, Sweeney Todd was the second collaboration between Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler\, following their success with A Little Night Music. The show won eight Tony Awards\, including Best Musical\, Score\, and Book. Sweeney has been revived multiple times on Broadway\, adapted into a motion picture\, and is currently playing Off-Broadway in a new immersive production. Sondheim’s sublimely gruesome and funny musical features one of the most thrilling scores in musical theatre and includes such favorites as “A Little Priest” and “Not While I’m Around\,” along with the opening song “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.” Attend the tale—if you dare!

DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, April 23 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery (1st Floor\, 913 S. University Ave.) for the all new Academic Innovation at Michigan for Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion (AIM for DE&I) Speaker Series. This talk will be the second of four throughout April and May aimed at exploring issues at the intersections of teaching and learning\; technology\; and diversity\, equity\, and inclusion.\n\nTalk Information:\n\nAugmented Empathy: How can design bring empathy back in an increasingly disconnected world\n\nCome join an interactive storytelling journey to explore identity\; how identities are connected to the communities and sub-cultures to which we belong.   Whether it evolves out of geography or perception\, this is an exploration of the building blocks of augmenting empathy with Bayete Ross Smith.\n\nBayeté  Ross Smith is a photographer and multimedia artist from New York whose collaborative projects Along The Way and Question Bridge: Black Males have shown at the Sundance Film Festival and several others. He is a TED Resident and an embedded media maker with POV/Am Doc and The New York Times\, and he has exhibited his work internationally. He is a faculty member at the International Center of Photography and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. Bayeté uses photography\, video and public installation to investigate the ways we perform our racial\, gender and cultural identities through clothing\, music and the communities of affinity we choose. He reveals both the pleasure of performing our chosen personas\, as well as the dangers of perceiving these personas in others.\n\nAll members of the University of Michigan community including faculty\, staff\, and students are encouraged to attend. Light refreshments will be provided.

DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Manna Pottery by Rezgar Mamandi
DESCRIPTION:After finding Mannea pottery artifacts at archaeological sites in his hometown of Rabat in the northwest of Kurdistan in Iran\, Rezgar Mamandi discovered his passion for ceramic art.

With hand-painted figures\, patterns\, shapes and colors\, each piece is one-of-a-kind with an ancient\, yet contemporary look achieved by using lead-free\, high-fire oxidation glazes. To describe his relationship to art\, Mamandi quotes Thomas Merton: “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Presentation:Clinical Science Brown Bag:  Addressing Barriers to Mental Health Care: The Development of the Mood Lifters Program
DESCRIPTION:Approximately half of all Americans will develop a mental health disorder in their lifetime. Many more will cope with negative life events such as trauma\, the death of a loved one\, divorce\, job loss\, and physical illness. Unfortunately\, research suggests that the current mental health care system in the United States (U.S.) is dramatically underutilized with only 43.1% of the 44.7 million Americans affected by mental illness receiving mental health care in the last year (NIMH\, 2017). Many people experience significant barriers that prevent them from accessing care. In order to address some of the barriers to mental health care\, researchers at the University of Michigan developed a novel intervention\, Mood Lifters. Mood Lifters is a peer-led\, low-cost\, evidence-based program designed to improve mental wellness\, decrease negative affect and increase positive affect. Mood Lifters weaves together the most effective biological\, psychological and social techniques\, based on the most recent research\, to provide strategies that people can use to make changes\, develop healthy habits and live the life they want. This talk will cover the development of the Mood Lifters program and the current scientific support for the program.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Brown Bag:  Development and neuroplasticity of selective attention in early childhood
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \n\nHow do children attend selectively\, focusing their attention on relevant information while simultaneously suppressing distractors? What neurobiological and contextual factors contribute to the development of selective attention in early childhood? In this talk\, I will explore these questions\, utilizing a multimethod approach that combines electroencephalography (EEG) with behavioral\, experimental\, and observational measures. In part 1\, I will share findings from studies in which I examined the brain functions supporting selective attention in early childhood in the context of socioeconomic adversity. These studies emphasize that there is notable variability in the neurodevelopment of selective attention in children from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds. In part 2\, I will discuss pilot data and future directions for research on how neighborhood\, household\, and classroom auditory environments contribute to the development of selective attention as children transition to formal schooling. In addition\, I will present my ongoing and planned work towards reproducible\, replicable\, and representative developmental EEG research\, in the context of neurodevelopment of selective attention specifically\, and for developmental research broadly.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Ph.D. Defense: Mac Morris
DESCRIPTION:Deep vein thrombosis\, defined as blood clots forming in veins beneath muscles in the body\, is the third most common cardiovascular disease worldwide. The standard treatment of deep vein thrombosis involves using anticoagulants to stop clot progression but is only successful in 2/3 of patients because the composition of the clot changes over time. The standard diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis and determination of the age of the thrombus are based on the patient’s timeline of when these symptoms appeared. With use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)\, thrombus progression can be studied non-invasively from the acute to chronic stage. The aims of this work are to apply a Gaussian mixture model to multiparametric MRI of preclinical thrombi and determine whether spatial correlations exist with composition by histology.\n \nThrombosis was induced in 30 12-week-old mice divided into three groups and imaged at either acute\, sub-chronic\, or chronic time points. The multiparametric MRI volumes consisted of T1-\, T2-\, and T2*-weighted images. The MRI volume for each mouse was normalized\, and the thrombus was segmented. The T1\, T2\, and T2* intensities at each location were input into a Gaussian mixture model. Following image acquisition\, tissue samples were acquired and stained for Martius scarlet blue trichrome to examine red blood cell\, collagen\, and fibrin content in each thrombus. \n \nTo analyze each Gaussian mixture model region\, qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed by comparing the Gaussian mixture model results with the paired histology. 2D correlation values between the Gaussian mixture model tissue class and histological composition revealed that the first cluster class correlated with red blood cells (p < 0.05)\, and the second cluster class correlated with fibrin and collagen (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that spatial correlations exist between the classification of multiparametric MRI data and corresponding histology. With the aforementioned methods and results from each study\, we are able to move one step closer with assisting healthcare providers in optimizing treatments for patients with deep vein thrombosis.  \n\nChair: Joan Greve

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE)\, Public Finance: College Aid and the Marginal Cost of a College Degree: Evidence from a Randomized Trial.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nA large privately-funded scholarship program randomized 'full-freight' financial aid awards to entering students at Nebraska's public colleges and universities. Scholarship awards increased four-year college attendance among recipients but had little effect on two-year or overall attendance. Awards granted to students targeting four-year colleges boosted six-year graduation rates by 8.5 percentage points\, with gains unevenly distributed\, ranging from a high of 15 - 20 points among minority program applicants and those with low ACT scores\, to zero for well-prepared program applicants. Roughly 92% of the scholarship aid went to students who would have graduated without scholarship aid. Average scholarship costs were $43\,000 per additional college year completed and $425\,000 per additional four-year degree obtained\, but this falls to $230\,000 for nonwhite students. Costs were high in part because scholarship awards lengthened time to degree among recipients. Nevertheless\, the bulk of scholarship expenditures reflect transfers from scholarship sponsors to scholarship recipients rather than incremental expenditures on post-secondary education.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STEM Careers and the Changing Skill Requirements of Work
DESCRIPTION:Big Data in Population Science - Mini-Series (3 of 4)\n\nScience\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Math (STEM) jobs are a key contributor to eco- nomic growth and national competitiveness. Yet STEM workers are perceived to be in short supply. This paper shows that the \"STEM shortage\" phenomenon is explained by technological change\, which introduces new job skills and makes old ones obsolete. We find that the initially high economic return to applied STEM degrees declines by more than 50 percent in the first decade of working life. This coincides with a rapid exit of college graduates from STEM occupations. Using detailed job vacancy data\, we show that STEM jobs changed especially quickly over the last decade\, leading to flatter age-earnings profiles as the skills of older cohorts became obsolete. Our findings highlight the importance of technology-specific skills in explaining life-cycle returns to education\, and show that STEM jobs are the leading edge of technology diffusion in the labor market.\n\nBIO:\nDavid Deming is a Professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Harvard Graduate School of Education\, the Director of the Harvard Inequality and Social Policy Program\, and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research focuses broadly on the economics of skill development\, education and labor markets. He is currently serving as a coeditor at the AEJ: Applied\, and is a Principal Investigator (along with Raj Chetty and John Friedman) at the CLIMB Initiative\, an organization that seeks to study and improve the role of higher education in social mobility. He recently won the David N. Kershaw Prize\, which is awarded biannually to scholars who have made distinguished contributions to the field of public policy and management under the age of 40.\n\nMichigan Population Studies Center (PSC) Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

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. On April 22 only\, hackers will meet at 2 pm. \n\nDr. Shiraito is available to assist with a variety of topics that include Bayesian statistics\, parallel computing in R\, OpenMP and Rcpp\, web scraping using Python\, working with high performance computing clusters (Flux\, Beta\, Hadoop\, Cavium)\, and other computational methods. He hopes that participants will actively help each other where able. His goal is to create a productive and inclusive community for hackers to share expertise\, assist each other in data-intensive projects\, and enjoy peer-programming opportunities. Dr. Shiraito looks forward to hacking with you.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ethics and Politics of AI: Data Violence: Discourse and Justice in a Datafied World
DESCRIPTION:Values of fairness\, antidiscrimination\, and inclusion occupy a central place in the emerging ethics of data and algorithms. Their importance is underscored by the reality that data-intensive\, algorithmically-mediated decision systems—as represented by artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML)—can exacerbate existing (or generate new) injustices\, worsening already problematic distributions of rights\, opportunities\, and wealth. At the same time\, critics of certain “fair” or “inclusive” approaches to the design and implementation of these systems have illustrated their limits\, pointing to problems with reductive or overly technical definitions of fairness or a general inability to appropriately address representative or dignitary harms.\n\nIn this talk\, Anna Lauren Hoffmann extends these critiques by focusing on problems of cultural and discursive violence. She begins by discussing trends in AI/ML fairness and inclusion discussion that mirror problematic tendencies from legal antidiscrimination discourses. From there\, she introduces “data violence” as a response to these trends. In particular\, she lays out the discursive bases of data-based violence—that is\, the discursive forms by which competing voices and various “fair” or “inclusive” solutions become legible (and others marginalized or ignored). In doing so\, she undermines any neat or easy distinction between the presence of violence and its absence—rather\, our sense of fair or inclusive conditions contain and feed the possibility of violent ones. She concludes by echoing feminist political philosopher Serene Khader’s call to move away from justice-imposing solutions toward justice-enhancing ones. Importantly\, justice-enhancing efforts cannot simply be a matter of protecting or “including” vulnerable others\, but must also attend to discourses and norms that generate asymmetrical vulnerabilities to violence in the first place. \n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nAnna Lauren Hoffmann is a scholar and writer working at the intersections of data\, technology\, culture\, and ethics. She is currently an Assistant Professor with The Information School at the University of Washington.\n\nHer work centers on issues in information\, data\, and ethics\, paying specific attention to the ways discourse\, design\, and uses of information technology work to promote or hinder the pursuit of important human values like respect and justice. She is concerned with the ways data\, information\, and technological systems (or the ways we talk about them) discriminate by undermining the development of self-respect of some\, especially through the infliction of symbolic and discursive violences. In addition\, she works on issues around ethics education for data professionals and computer scientists\, as well as the possibilities (and limits) of research ethics and professional codes of ethics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Picosecond Timing: extending the physics potential of the High Luminosity LHC with the CMS MIP timing detector
DESCRIPTION:The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) is an upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN\, which will extend the accelerator's potential for new discoveries in physics. This upgrade will increase the rate of collisions by a factor of five beyond the original design value and the total collisions created by a factor ten. To meet the challenging conditions of the HL-LHC\, the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is undergoing an extensive Phase 2 Upgrade program. In particular\, a new precision timing detector with hermetic coverage up to a pseudo-rapidity of |η|=3 will measure minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) with a time resolution of 30-40 ps. This measurement of the time coordinate will reduce the effects of the high levels of pile-up expected at the HL-LHC and bring new capabilities to the CMS detector. In this seminar\, I will discuss the impact on the HL-LHC physics program as well as the design and technology of this new detector.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library
DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

DESCRIPTION:\"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency\,\" by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin\, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home\, privacy\, and safety.\n\nThe exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery\, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication\, luxury\, and modernism.\n\nIn a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet\, for Martin and Muñoz\,  \"Blind House\" serves as \"a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy.\" Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Poverty: Looking from the Inside Out
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever wondered why people in poverty don’t just….get a job\, stick to a budget\, or work a little harder\, this class is for you. Together we will explore the dynamics of poverty—looking at what keeps people in it\, what’s needed to break out of it\, and how we can all play a role in building community to end poverty.\nClass includes hands-on simulations\, thoughtful discussion\, and personal stories of struggle and transformation. The final class focuses on solutions and will feature two dynamic programs making a real difference right here in Washtenaw County. This Study Group led by Suzanne Van Dam is for those 50 and over and will meet Tuesdays\, 10:00 - 11:30 a.m.\, April 23rd through May 7th.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with CPS faculty Christopher Fariss
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Fariss is excited to host a weekly Tuesday morning hackerspace from February 12 until April 23. Dr. Fariss uses computational methods and the statistical program R to study why governments around the world torture\, maim\, and kill individuals within their jurisdiction\, and the processes monitors use to observe and document these abuses. Other research projects cover a broad array of themes but share a focus on computationally intensive methods\, research design\, and the analysis of data at a massive scale. \n\nThis weekly meeting with Dr. Fariss is for those with an interest in the R statistical programming language. Both beginners and experienced users are invited to attend. Dr. Fariss plans to introduce mostly introductory material during these sessions but will also cover Bayesian modeling in R and STAN.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

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

DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, April 23 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery (1st Floor\, 913 S. University Ave.) for the all new Academic Innovation at Michigan for Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion (AIM for DE&I) Speaker Series. This talk will be the second of four throughout April and May aimed at exploring issues at the intersections of teaching and learning\; technology\; and diversity\, equity\, and inclusion.\n\nTalk Information:\n\nAugmented Empathy: How can design bring empathy back in an increasingly disconnected world\n\nCome join an interactive storytelling journey to explore identity\; how identities are connected to the communities and sub-cultures to which we belong.   Whether it evolves out of geography or perception\, this is an exploration of the building blocks of augmenting empathy with Bayete Ross Smith.\n\nBayeté  Ross Smith is a photographer and multimedia artist from New York whose collaborative projects Along The Way and Question Bridge: Black Males have shown at the Sundance Film Festival and several others. He is a TED Resident and an embedded media maker with POV/Am Doc and The New York Times\, and he has exhibited his work internationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. 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. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Sandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations Graduate Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:**Fall 2019 KICK-OFF WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 23RD**\n\nSandwiches and Science: Training (for) Better Presentations marks the third run of the professional development event hosted by Tau Beta Pi aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills. The series will be co-hosted/sponsored by TBP and the graduate societies of MSE\, ECE\, ChE\, and MACRO and also sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs! As \"learning-by-practice\" event\, it aims to help students learn how to effectively convey the \"big picture\" value of their research to a diverse audience\, while also engaging a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering. The event is aimed primarily at graduate students planning to take their candidacy exam\, but anyone is welcome to participate! We will host 7-10 events each term\, and event dates/times will be announced on a rolling basis. \n\nEach session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience)\, highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills\, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.\n\nIf you would like to participate as a speaker/audience\, please fill out the links below. We will follow-up with you with scheduling details. NOTE: The event is open to ALL CoE students\, regardless of TBP membership status.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium:  Treating the hyperphagia driving obesity: Neural mechansims of feeding inhibition with a focus on CNS GLP-1R as a target
DESCRIPTION:Obesity prevalence continues to climb worldwide providing significant pathophysiologic challenges to human health. Hyperphagia\, the primary driver of this epidemic\, results from the activating effects of hedonic sensory features of the food environment on specific\, behavior-generating brain circuits. Feeding inhibition\, by contrast\, results from ingested food triggering GI satiation signals whose activational effects are conveyed via vagal afferents and processed by n. tractus solitarious (NTS) neurons that are also responsive to leptin and oxytocin. A focus on food intake inhibition neurobiology compels attention to roles for gastrointestinal satiation signals and provides an entry point in deciphering a circuit diagram for feeding inhibition that should be useful to the development of efficacious obesity phramacotherapies. It is interesting to note that GLP-1 released from intestinal enteroendocrine cells by digested food excites centrally projecting vagal afferents that in turn excite GLP-1-positive TH- positive and PrRP-positive NTS neurons. The rats’ ~500 GLP-1 NTS neurons send their axons to multiple and  anatomically distributed GLP-1R expressing nuclei such that when activated by the consequences of food ingestion and other antecedents there is a brain wide increase in GLP-1R signaling that results in feeding inhibition. Others and we have individually probed function in various GLP-1R expressing nuclei with agonist and find a remarkable degree of redundancy across targets including reductions in: meal size\, cumulative intake\, food seeking and feeding motivation.  GLP-1R targeted anti-obesity drug therapy works via brain penetrance of long acting modied agonists resulting in multisite activation of endogenous control circuits to reduce feeding and thereby body weight. Among their actions GLP-1R targeting therapies impact neural mediation of hedonic processes involved in food seeking and feeding motivation. Support from NIH DK-21397

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminar: Not your father's ecological theory: how trait clusters change our view of limiting similarity
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly brown bag lunch seminar.\n\nAbstract\nNiche partitioning is a primary mechanism thought to ameliorate competitive interactions and promote coexistence. As such\, understanding how competitive interactions and niches interact is potentially invaluable for understanding the formation and maintenance of biodiversity -- a primary goal in ecology. Recent upheavals in ecological theory suggest that competitive interactions should produce a clustered distribution of traits in biological communities\, for traits relevant to coexistence. Our lab has recently demonstrated evidence for the existence of these trait clusters in a neotropical forest community. For maximum tree height\, the cluster boundaries align surprisingly well with previous models of how light rays and forest canopy architecture interact to produce regions of maximum light availability. This seminar will propose ways to further our understanding of niche processes by illustrating how investigating the scale over which clustering emerges in different traits can be linked to the scale over which those traits might impact competing organisms. Recent collaborative work involving the chemical trait makeup of neotropical plants illustrates how chemical trait space might represent a novel niche axis to test predictions of trait patterning. Finally\, a flexible modeling framework for asking how phylogenetic models of trait evolution impact ecological theory is presented as a tool for helping to bridge expectations across community ecology and phylogenetics.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Other:Chemical Regulation of Functional RNAs
DESCRIPTION:                        We study the mechanisms of specificity and regulation of enzymes that act on RNA. We identified the molecular basis for how a small molecule\, heme\, affects microRNA processing enzyme Drosha. We show that heme acts as a signaling factor to switch on processing of a subset of microRNAs. Other chemicals such as S-adenosylmethioinine\, and transfer of its methyl group to RNA\, can also have a big role in RNA-mediated gene regulation. We show the mechanistic details of how RNA methylation is accomplished\, using crystal structures and biochemical studies.                                                                                                 \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nYunsun Nam (UT Southwestern Medical Center)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | The precision frontier: hunting for new short-range forces with AMO-based sensors
DESCRIPTION:We normally think of large accelerators and massive detectors when we consider the frontiers of elementary particle physics\, pushing to understand the universe at higher and higher energy scales. However\, several tabletop low-energy experiments are positioned to discover a wide range of new physics beyond the Standard model\, where feeble interactions require precision measurements rather than high energies. In high vacuum\, optically-levitated dielectric nanospheres achieve excellent decoupling from their environment\, making force sensing at the zeptonewton level (10^{-21} N) achievable.  In this talk I will describe our progress towards using these sensors for tests of the Newtonian gravitational inverse square law at micron length scales.  Optically levitated dielectric objects show promise for a variety of other applications\, including searches for gravitational waves.  Finally\, I will discuss the Axion Resonant InterAction Detection Experiment (ARIADNE)\, a precision magnetometry experiment using laser-polarized 3-He gas to search for a notable dark-matter candidate: the QCD axion.  ​\n

SUMMARY:Film Screening:The 5th Biannual FTVM 236 Audiovisual Essay Festival
DESCRIPTION:Since 2016\, the FTVM 236 course at the University of Michigan has used audiovisual essay assignments on as large a scale as at any other institution in the world. More than one hundred students who enrolled in FTVM 236 during the winter 2019 term created a series of audiovisual essays as part of their work for the course. This final event showcases the hard work\, critical acumen\, and creativity that went into their final capstone projects\, in which each student made an original critical argument in audiovisual form about a selected film or television episode that was studied in the course. Winners in a number of categories will be selected by a vote of the enrolled students in attendance.\nJoin us for this celebration of outstanding undergraduate work!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Panel: Viewpoint Diversity and the Future of Intellectual Discourse
DESCRIPTION:We live in increasingly polarized times\, and partisan animosity is at a high. Against this backdrop\, it is tempting to sort ourselves into echo-chambers. What effects might this have on future discourse about important scientific\, ethical\, and policy matters? How does polarization affect the academy? Can viewpoint diversity increase the quality of research in politically relevant fields like social psychology\, sociology\, or political philosophy? Join us for a panel discussion with Lee Jussim\, Professor of Psychology at Rutgers\, and Hrishikesh Joshi\, Postdoctoral Fellow at Michigan. All are welcome. Coffee and snacks will be provided!\n\nHosted by the Freedom and Flourishing Project.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library
DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. 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

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Biophysics Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Protein-protein interactions among Bcl-2 family proteins regulate apoptosis. Anti-apoptotic members of the family\, including Bcl-2\, Bcl-xL\, Bcl-w\, Mcl-1\, and Bfl-1\, sequester pro-apoptotic family members by binding tightly to an amphipathic alpha helix within them\, blocking pro-death functions. Through this mechanism\, overexpression of the anti-apoptotic proteins is implicated in oncogenesis and resistance to chemotherapy. Tight-binding and selective inhibitors of Bcl-2 family proteins can be used to diagnose the Bcl-2 dependencies of cancer cells and may be developed as therapeutics. The challenge of designing peptides that function as high-affinity and selective inhibitors of specific Bcl-2 family proteins poses a fundamental\, challenging problem in protein engineering and a good opportunity to study principles of protein-peptide recognition. I will describe features of Bcl-2 family protein interactions and discuss approaches we have developed that integrate computational structure-based modeling with high-throughput screening to generate peptide-based inhibitors.\n\nRegister here: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/biophysics-symposium/2019-biophysics-symposium-registration/

DESCRIPTION:Barbara J. Schneider’s studio is in the Starline Factory in Harvard\, Illinois. She has an extensive background in surface design\, and she works with cloth\, paint\, dye and thread. The Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi (aesthetic of transience and imperfection) is a strong influence in her work. This collection is a series of stitched textiles that are a reinterpretation of traditional still life paintings. These small\, intimate artworks use vintage Japanese boro fabrics as backgrounds for personal objects that contain a Wabi-Sabi spirit. Schneider teaches and exhibits her work nationally and internationally\, and her work is in both private and public collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

DESCRIPTION:\"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency\,\" by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin\, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home\, privacy\, and safety.\n\nThe exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery\, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication\, luxury\, and modernism.\n\nIn a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet\, for Martin and Muñoz\,  \"Blind House\" serves as \"a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy.\" Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. 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. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Ph.D. Defense: Kunal Rambhia
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this dissertation is to advance the development of a drug-loaded polymeric scaffold for bone tissue engineering as a promising synthetic substitute for autologous bone grafts. While still considered the reference standard for treatment of large volume bone injuries\, autologous grafts are limited in their clinical applications by donor site morbidity\, limited tissue availability\, and potential for graft failure. The clinical use of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) as bone graft substitutes has resulted in serious side effects due in part to the supraphysiologic dose of BMP required for adequate healing. New approaches to treating these large volume injuries are needed. Our proposed strategy utilizes tissue engineering and drug delivery concepts to develop synthetic drug-loaded biomimetic scaffolds for bone regeneration.\n\nTo enhance the osteogenic potential of synthetic scaffolds\, we sought to simultaneously deliver two growth factors: recombinant human BMP-7 and recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2). We first established an in vitro cell culture model using rabbit mesenchymal stem cells to evaluate and optimize the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment in combination with BMP-7 as a basis for our in vivo studies. We subsequently encapsulated the growth factors in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanospheres with tailored release patterns for each factor. Low molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate FGF-2 in fast releasing nanospheres while high molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate BMP-7 in slow releasing nanospheres. We found that FGF-2 augmented BMP-7-directed ectopic bone formation in a subcutaneous mouse model\, and that the synergistic effect was dependent on the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment. We also found that FGF-2 may contribute to enhanced bone formation due to its effects on cell migration and proliferation\, as well as its angiogenic and osteogenic effects.\n \nWe then established an in vitro model to evaluate human mesenchymal stem cells in 2D monolayer and 3D culture on novel nanofibrous spongy microsphere scaffold (NF-SMS). We used a similar PLGA-based drug delivery system to control the release kinetics of FGF-2 and BMP-7 and conjugated drug-loaded PLGA nanospheres to the injectable NF-SMS scaffold. In a critical size cranial defect mouse model\, low dose FGF-2 combined with BMP-7 enhanced bone regeneration over BMP-7 alone.\n \nLastly\, we sought to better understand the crosstalk between the FGF-2 and BMP-7 signaling pathways through a series of experiments to measure the effect of FGF-2 on canonical BMP signaling in mouse calvarial osteoblasts. We identified a potential new link between these signaling pathways and propose a new mechanism by which FGF-2 signaling modulates BMP receptor activity\, enhancing the phosphorylation of R-Smad1/5/9 proteins. \n \nThis research elucidates the criteria for achieving synergy between BMP-7 and FGF-2 through relevant in vitro and in vivo models. It provides guidelines for future development of biomimetic scaffolds with controlled release of multiple relevant biological cues to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.\n\nChair: Peter X. Ma

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Defense Dissertation: Development of a Hypersonic Aerothermoelastic Framework and Its Application to Flutter and Aerothermoelastic Scaling of Skin Panels
DESCRIPTION:Defense Committee\nChair: Professor Peretz P. Friedmann\nCognate: Professor Bogdan Epureanu\nMembers: Professor Carlos E. S. Cesnik\, Professor Joaquim R. R. A. Martins\n\nPresentation Info\nDate: 04/24/2019\nTime: 3:30 pm\nLocation: FXB 1044\n\nAirbreathing hypersonic flight has the potential to revolutionize global transportation and has been one of the last frontiers in the aerospace industry for over seven decades.  Unlike conventional commercial aircraft\, air-breathing hypersonic vehicles are naturally interdisciplinary: the aerodynamic\, structural and thermal responses are tightly coupled.  One of the unresolved technical challenges is the lack of hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling laws for conducting aerothermoelastic testing.  Once such scaling laws were available\, the flight test data obtained on scaled models could be extrapolated to full-size vehicles\, resulting in a dramatic cost reduction in the development of hypersonic vehicles.\n\nThis dissertation aims to achieve refined hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling laws using a novel two-pronged methodology\, which combines the classical scaling approach with augmentation from numerical simulations of the specific aerothermoelastic problem.  First\, an efficient aerothermoelastic computational framework is developed.  The framework adopts a novel technique that enables the extrapolation of surrogate-based interpolative reduced order aerodynamic models and achieves computational acceleration by four orders of magnitude.  The framework also features the linearized stability analysis for efficient identification of aerothermoelastic stability boundary and a tightly-coupled scheme for near-real-time aerothermoelastic simulation of extended flight time.  On top of the framework\, the development of new aerothermoelastic scaling laws is formulated in the form of a constrained optimization problem\, which is solved using a Bayesian optimization approach.  The effectiveness of the two-pronged approach is demonstrated by its application to the refined hypersonic aerothermoelastic scaling of a composite skin panel configuration.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Axion Dark Matter and Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay: New Techniques for New Physics
DESCRIPTION:Two of the biggest open questions in the Standard Model of Particle Physics are: is the neutrino its own antiparticle\, a Majorana particle\, and is Peccei-Quinn Symmetry with the resulting axion the solution to the strong CP problem. The answer to these questions is a portal to new physics and the answer to the even bigger questions of the generation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry and the nature of dark matter. My group works to address these questions with searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay and ultra-light axions. In this talk\, I will review the physics that connects these two efforts\, the current status of the fields\, and our R&D efforts towards the next-generation experiments.\n

SUMMARY:Presentation:Making Art Public: A conversation with Mark di Suvero and Christina Olsen
DESCRIPTION:Public art on a university campus plays a significant role in creating an environment that supports the development of the mind and spirit of students\, faculty\, and staff. The University of Michigan has an historic and longstanding commitment to public art. The campus is full of icons that evoke the Michigan spirit\, but none capture the vital importance of public art on campus like Mark di Suvero’s Orion.\n \nPlease join us on Wednesday\, April 24 for an opportunity to hear from one of the greatest living sculptors and creators of public art.\n \nBorn in Shanghai\, China\, in 1933\, di Suvero immigrated to the United States in 1941 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from the University of California\, Berkeley. An internationally renowned sculptor and pioneer in the use of steel\, he began showing his sculptures in the 1950s. Di Suvero is the sculptor of two iconic works on the U-M Ann Arbor campus: Shang\, a kinetic sculpture that features a suspended platform that swings\, and Orion\, a brightly painted\, orange-red sculpture made of hand-cut\, painted steel. His architectural-scale sculptures have been exhibited in the Netherlands\, Italy\, Spain\, Germany\, Australia\, Japan\, France\, the United Kingdom and the United States. di Suvero is the first living artist to exhibit in the Jardin des Tuileries and the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris and at Millennium Park in Chicago. His work is featured in more than 100 museums and public collections\, including the J. Paul Getty Museum\, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. An activist for peace and social justice\, di Suvero co-founded Park Place Gallery\, an artists’ cooperative\, in New York City in 1962. In 1977\, he established the Athena Foundation to assist artists to fulfill their ambitions. He established Socrates Sculpture Park in 1986 at the site of a landfill in Queens\, New York. Di Suvero has received several honors\, including the Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award from the International Sculpture Center and the National Medal of Arts.\n \nChristina Olsen is the Director of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and Chair of the University of Michigan President's Advisory Committee on Public Art. Before coming to Michigan she served as the Class of 1956 Director at the Williams College Museum of Art. Olsen has more than 25 years of leadership experience in museums and foundations\, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the J. Paul Getty Museum and Getty Foundation\, and the Portland Art Museum. She is a national leader in debates about the changing role of campus art museums and their relationships with the public and campus\, and has lectured frequently on the topic. Olsen has curated and produced many exhibitions and programs\, including most recently Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\, currently on view at the University of Michigan’s Museum of Art. Olsen is on the board of the Association of Art Museum Directors and has taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Williams College. She received a BA in history of art\, with honors\, from the University of Chicago\, and an MA and PhD in art history from the University of Pennsylvania.\n\nThis program is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan President's Advisory Committee on Public Art.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Accidentals
DESCRIPTION:Named among Yahoo Music’s “Top 10 Bands to Watch in 2017\,” The Accidentals began their adventure in their hometown of Traverse City\, MI\, when Katie Larson\, a sophomore cellist\, and Savannah Buist\, a junior violinist\, were paired for a high school orchestra event. The gifted young musicians became fast friends and before long\, bandmates. Dubbing themselves after the musical notes that fall outside of a key signature\, they were joined in 2014 by percussionist Michael Dause\, and since then national attention has increasingly come their way. Along the road\, where they've performed more than 1\,000 shows over the last five years\, they been open to and influenced by a dizzying variety of musical genres\, from classical music to hip-hop. Signed to the major Sony label in 2017\, the band has released two albums\, including the recent and politically aware \"Heavy Flag.\" See them in the intimate confines of The Ark while you still can!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library
DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. 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

DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency
DESCRIPTION:\"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency\,\" by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin\, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home\, privacy\, and safety.\n\nThe exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery\, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication\, luxury\, and modernism.\n\nIn a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet\, for Martin and Muñoz\,  \"Blind House\" serves as \"a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy.\" Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CURRENT TOPICS IN GENDER IDENTITY
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shumer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology. He is the founder and clinical director of the Child and Adolescent Gender Clinic at Mott Children’s Hospital\, a clinic for transgender and gender nonconforming youth. Dr. Shumer’s research has specifically focused on improving mental health disparities in the transgender community. He has clinical expertise in this area\, as well as disorders of sex development and general pediatric endocrinology and diabetes.\n\nChromosomes and hormones work in fetal life to differentiate males and females\; these are the biological determinants of sex. But what about gender identity? What makes us feel like a boy or a girl\, a man or a woman? Dr. Shumer will review what is currently known and unknown regarding the origins of gender identity.\nHe will also discuss epidemiology\, disparities faced by transgender individuals\, and current standards of care in the medical setting.\n\nThis is the fourth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Changing Gender Roles. The next lecture will be May 2\, 2019. The title is: Three Hypotheses for Explaining the So-Called Oppression of Men.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. 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. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Design and Analysis of Sequential Randomized Trials with Applications to Mental Health and Online Education
DESCRIPTION:Dynamic treatment regimes\, also called adaptive interventions\, guide sequential treatment decision-making in a variety of fields\, including healthcare and education. Dynamic treatment regimes accommodate differences between individuals and changes in individuals over time. Sequential randomized trials are a specific type of trial design useful for developing high-quality dynamic treatment regimes.  Sequential randomized trials utilize re-randomization of individuals over time in order to discover how to sequence\, time\, and personalize treatments.  Two of the most commonly used sequential randomized trial designs are sequential multiple assignment randomized trials and micro-randomized trials.\n\nIn this thesis\, we contribute to both the design and analysis of sequential randomized trials. We describe design considerations for sequential randomized trials in online education. We present the design and analysis for a sequential randomized trial developed to reduce dropout in a massively open online course.  We also develop statistical methodology and sample size formulae for sequential multiple assignment randomized trial designs which include cluster-level randomization. The techniques are inspired by a trial aiming to develop high-quality dynamic treatment regimes for mental health clinics. Lastly\, we illustrate the design\, describe the analysis\, and present results of a large micro-randomized trial aiming to develop mobile health interventions for improving medical interns' mental health.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ethics and Politics of AI: Custodians of the Internet: Platforms\, Content Moderation\, and the Hidden Decisions that Shape Social Media
DESCRIPTION:Content moderation can serve as a prism for examining what platforms are\, and how they subtly torque public life. Our understanding of platforms too blithely accepted the terms in which they were sold and celebrated - open\, impartial\, connective\, progressive\, transformative - skewing our study of social behavior that happens on them\, stunting our examination of their societal impact. \n\nContent moderation doesn’t fit this celebratory vision. As such\, it has often been treated as peripheral to what they do—a custodial task\, like sweeping up\, occasional and invisible. What if moderation is in fact central to what platforms do? Moderation is an enormous part of the work of running a platform\, in terms of people\, time\, and cost. The work of policing all this caustic content and abuse haunts platforms\, and profoundly shapes how they work.\n\nToday\, social media platforms are being scrutinized in the press\; specific controversies\, each a tiny crisis of trust\, have gelled into a more profound interrogation of their responsibilities to users and society. What are the implications of the emerging demand that platforms serve not as conduits or arbiters\, but as custodians? This is uncharted territory for the platforms\, a very different notion of how they should earn the trust of their users and stand accountable to civil society.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nTarleton Gillespie is a principal researcher at Microsoft Research New England\, and an affiliated associate professor in the Department of Communication and Department of Information Science at Cornell University. His new book\, Custodians of the Internet: Platforms\, Content Moderation\, and the Hidden Decisions that Shape Social Media (Yale University Press) was published in June 2018. He is also the author of Wired Shut: Copyright and the Shape of Digital Culture (MIT Press\, 2007)\, the co-editor of Media Technologies: Essays on Communication\, Materiality\, and Society (MIT\, 2014)\, and the co-founder of the blog Culture Digitally.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special HEP-Astro Seminar | The quest for the Axion 
DESCRIPTION:Axions and axion-like particles are excellent dark matter candidates\, spanning a vast range of mass scales from the milli- and micro-eV for the QCD axion\, to 1E-22 eV for ultralight axions in string theory. In some scenarios\, inhomogeneities in the axion density lead to the formation of compact structures known as axion “miniclusters” and axion stars. I will first discuss astrophysical and cosmological constraints on axions at either end of this spectrum\, using data from the cosmic microwave background anisotropies and the effects of miniclusters on the gravitational microlensing and on direct detection. I will then assess the formation and the evolution of axion stars in various astrophysical regimes.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Scalable classification methods with applications to healthcare claims and automotive dealership data
DESCRIPTION:With technology advances in recent years\, sensing and media storage capabilities have enabled the generation of enormous amounts of information\, often in the form of large data sets in different scientific fields such as biology\, marketing and medicine. As this vast amount of data has opened a wealth of opportunities for data analysis\, computationally scalable methods become increasingly important for statistical modeling. This thesis focuses on developing scalable classification methods and their applications to automotive dealerships and healthcare problems.\n\nThe first project studies parameter estimation of customers' and dealerships' consumption preference for the automotive market\, which determines the manufacturers' profits. Most existing methods assume that the dealerships are rational and hence aim to maximize profits\, which conflicts with observations. We propose a structural Bayesian model for customers’ and dealerships’ preference which aims to maximize a flexible utility function. Further we develop an MCMC algorithm utilizing parallel computing to estimate model parameters. The model is calibrated to data from a manufacturer\, and the estimates are used in a simulation model to design optimal financial incentive offers to maximize profits.\n\nThe second project focuses on the two-class classification problem based on the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC)\, which is often considered as a more comprehensive measure for the performance of a classifier comparing with the misclassification error. Maximizing the empirical AUC directly\, however\, is computationally challenging as naive computation of the AUC requires quadratic time complexity\, while computing the misclassification error only requires linear time complexity. Further\, the optimization involves indicator functions and it is NP-hard. In this project\, we propose a non-convex differentiable surrogate function for the AUC\, and further develop a scalable algorithm to optimize this surrogate loss function. The proposed algorithm takes advantage of the selection tree data structure and also uses a truncated Newton strategy so that the computational complexity of the optimization scales at the quasilinear time. In the setting of linear classification\, we also show that the estimated coefficients enjoy theoretical asymptotic consistency. Finally\, we evaluate the performance of the proposed method using both simulation studies and two data sets\, one for normal/abnormal vertebral column classification and the other for behaving/not-behaving network visit classification\, and show that the proposed method outperforms the support vector machine (SVM) in terms of the AUC.\n\nThe last project is motivated by the problem of predicting midterm mortality of patients using the Ninth Revision\, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) codes\, which is relevant for healthcare and clinical research. The ICD-9 contains a list of standard six-character alphanumeric codes recording useful clinical information including patient diagnoses and procedures. However\, the number of ICD-9 codes in a specific study is often large\, on the order of thousands or tens of thousands\, and the dependence structure among ICD-9 codes is complicated\, which pose statistical challenges for using the ICD-9 codes. To address these challenges\, we develop a supervised embedding method that combines an unsupervised criterion for learning latent representations of ICD-9 codes and a Deep Set neural network model for classification\, which is invariant with respect to the ordering of the ICD-9 codes. The proposed supervised embedding method has the advantage of modeling the inter-relationship within ICD-9 codes and the nonlinear relationship between codes and the outcome variable simultaneously\, and it can also be naturally extended to the semi-supervised learning setting. The model is trained using the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) approach\, which allows the entire database to be stored on multiple computing nodes and hence makes the method suitable for analyzing large data sets. We have applied the proposed method to 1-year mortality prediction using the Medical Information Mart for Incentive Care III (MIMIC-III) database and achieved superior performance in comparison with several benchmark models.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM Theory Seminar | Towards exciton optomechanics in suspended 2D semiconductors
DESCRIPTION:Excitons\, made of electron-hole pairs bound by Coulomb interaction\, provide compelling opportunities for applications in optoelectronics\, information storage\, non-volatile logic. However\, the small binding energy of exciton in conventional semiconductors jeopardizes its integration and potentials in modern optoelectronics schemes. In the past decade\, a new type of two-dimensional semiconductors\, mainly transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)\, attract tremendous interests with much larger exciton binding energy. Thus\, stable excitonic effects up to room temperature can give rise to extremely strong light-matter interaction. Together with their ultra-lightweight and other emerging properties\, such strong excitonic interaction in 2D TMD opens up the possibility to optically control properties of monolayer semiconductors over the suspended structure. \n\nIn this talk\, I will first review this new type of 2D semiconductors and interesting device physics by employing the structure of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Then I’ll present our study of exciton-induced nonlinearities in suspended TMD monolayers\, where we achieved a robust optical bistability near the exciton resonance. Our results also demonstrate a helicity-dependent optical switching that enables control of light not only by light intensity but also by its polarization using monolayer materials. Additionally\, I will discuss our recent results on dynamically manipulating the mechanical motion of a suspended 2D semiconductor through its exciton resonance\, without an optical cavity structure.\n

DESCRIPTION:*This production has been re-scheduled from February*\n\nDevised Dance/Theatre piece inspired by short stories by Haruki Murakami and many more. Directed by Tzveta Kassabova with the cast. “And then I realized that the deep darkness inside me had vanished. Suddenly. As suddenly as it has come. I raised myself from the sand and\, without bothering either to take off my shoes or roll up my cuffs\, walked into the surf to let the waves lap at my ankles.” What does it mean to tell a story? Who is the storyteller\, who is listening? What real geography is surrounding us and what landscape do we imagine in our stories?

SUMMARY:Performance:The Jacob Jolliff Band
DESCRIPTION:Jacob Jolliff was born into a musical family in Newberg\, OR. His dad started him on the mandolin at age seven and required him to practice ten minutes a day. But after six months of practicing this minimal amount\, something clicked\, and almost overnight he started putting in several hours of intense practice daily. And this hasn't really changed in the last 20 years. He's played with Joy Kills Sorrow and Yonder Mountain String Band (which continues to tour)\, and now he's started his own Jacob Jolliff Band\, featuring some of New England's most virtuosic young pickers. The group features a lot of Jacob's original instrumentals\, as well as showcasing his singing\, which has been a big part of what he does in recent years.

DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. 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

Lieder’s filmmaking work was featured in the PBS NOVA program \"Creatures of Light\"\, produced by National Geographic Television\, in 2016. This exhibition of photography is a celebration of the poetry of Michigan wildlife and their surroundings: the leaves\, the water and the light. One of Lieder’s goals is to engender in viewers an awareness that we share the world with millions of other lives whose welfare depends on our behavior.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency
DESCRIPTION:\"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency\,\" by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin\, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home\, privacy\, and safety.\n\nThe exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery\, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication\, luxury\, and modernism.\n\nIn a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet\, for Martin and Muñoz\,  \"Blind House\" serves as \"a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy.\" Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

SUMMARY:Presentation:Dissertation Defense: Gradient-\, Ensemble-\, and Adjoint-Free Data-Driven Parameter Estimation
DESCRIPTION:Ankit Goel\n\nPresentation Info:\nDate: April 26\, 2019\nTime: 9:00 AM\nLocation: Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building\, 1044 McDivitt Conference Room\n\nDissertation Committee:\nChair:\nProfessor Dennis S. Bernstein\nCognate Member:\nProfessor Aaron Ridley\n\nMembers:\nProfessor Karthik Duraisamy\nAssistant Professor Alex Gorodetsky\n\nIn many applications\, models of physical systems have known structure but unknown parameters. By viewing the unknown parameters as constant states\, nonlinear estimation methods such as the extended Kalman filter\, unscented Kalman filter\, and ensemble Kalman filter can be used to estimate the states of the augmented system\, thereby providing estimates of the parameters along with the dynamic states. These methods tend to be computationally expensive due to the need for Jacobians\, ensembles\, or adjoint\, especially when the models are high-dimensional. \n\nThis dissertation presents the retrospective cost parameter estimation (RCPE) algorithm\, which does not require gradients\, ensembles\, or adjoints. Rather\, RCPE estimates unknown parameters from a single trajectory\, and requires updating only as many adaptive integrator gains as the number of unknown parameters. RCPE is applicable to parameter estimation in linear and nonlinear models\, where the parameterization may be either affine or nonaffine. \n\nThe main contribution of this work is to show that the parameter estimates may be permuted in an arbitrary way\, and thus a permutation is needed to correctly associate each parameter estimate with the corresponding unknown parameter. RCPE is illustrated through several numerical examples including the Burgers equation and the Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model (GITM).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Microeconomics/IO Seminar: \"Fiduciary Duty and the Market for Financial Advice.\"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nRecent regulatory debate in the financial advice industry has focused on expanding fiduciary duties to broker-dealers. Proponents of this reform argue that it would improve the advice given to clients and limit losses from agency problems\, while detractors counter that such regulation would increase compliance costs without directly improving consumer outcomes. This paper evaluates these questions empirically\, using a transactions-level dataset for annuity sales from a major financial services provider and exploiting state-level variation in common law fiduciary duty. We find that fiduciary duty shifts the set of products chosen by consumers\, away from variable annuities and towards fixed indexed annuities. Within variable annuities\, fiduciary duty induces a shift towards lower-fee\, higher-return annuities with a wider array of investment options. Finally\, fiduciary duty induces exit of firms directly influenced by the regulation. We find almost no spillover effects—either on entry or on advice provided—onto advisers who are not directly impacted by the regulation. We develop a model that leverages the distributional changes in product sold in the market to argue that fiduciary duty operates through the intended mechanism of directly influencing advice.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Classical Receptions Colloquium: Graduate student presentations on \"Approaches to Classical Reception Studies\"
DESCRIPTION:Joshua Billings studied Classics\, German\, and Comparative Literature at Harvard and Oxford. Before arriving at Princeton in 2015\, he held a research fellowship at Cambridge\, and taught at Yale for three years.\n\nHis research focuses on ancient Greek literature and philosophy and modern intellectual history\, with a particular concentration on tragedy. After a first book on modern conceptions of tragedy and the tragic (Genealogy of the Tragic: Greek Tragedy and German Philosophy\, Princeton 2014)\, he is now working on fifth-century (BCE) drama and intellectual culture. The project is provisionally entitled “Enlightenment on Stage” and it focuses on drama’s presentation of mythical figures as a reflection of the so-called “Attic Enlightenment.” Dramatic and (broadly) philosophical texts alike\, he argues\, use the stories of myth to explore common conceptual issues\; unfolding this entails a method that recognizes the distinctive significance that myth has for thought in fifth-century culture.\n\nColloquium Schedule\n\n10 am\, Session 1: Embodying Classical Reception \n\n1.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. 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. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CSAAW Workshop Special Guest Speaker will talk on paper crumpling dynamics
DESCRIPTION:When describing the dynamics of a sheet of paper being crumpled one may be tempted to only take the elastic response of the thin sheet into account and consider only those deformations which minimize the elastic energy of the crumpled sheet. However\, most materials yield and deform plastically\, leaving permanent scars in the thin sheet. Indeed\, the simple process of crumpling a sheet of paper with our hands results in a complex network of interconnected permanent creases of many sizes and orientations\, along which the sheet preferentially bends. Thereby\, history dependence is introduced into the system. I will present an experimental study of the dynamics of crumpling. Specifically\, we investigate how a crease network evolves when a thin elastoplastic sheet is repeatedly crumpled\, opened up and then re-crumpled. Is there a maximally crumpled state after which the sheet can be crumpled without further plastic deformations\, or do creases and defects keep accumulating forever? Surprisingly\, we find that much of the complex dynamics of the crease patterns can be captured using one simple global measure\, which is independent of the crumpling history.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Statistical Learning for Networks with Node Features
DESCRIPTION:Network data represent connectivity relationships between individuals of interest and are common in many scientific fields\, including biology\, sociology\, medicine and healthcare. Often\, additional node features are also available together with the data on relationships. Both types of data contain important information about individual characteristics and the population structure. This thesis focuses on developing statistical machine learning methods and theory for network data with node features.\n\nWe first study the problem of community detection for networks with node features using a model-based approach. Most existing models make strong conditional independence assumptions between the network\, features and community memberships\, which limits the applicability of the model. In our work\, we develop a general statistical framework to describe the dependence structure between the link structure\, node features and communities. Further\, we propose two families of models that are the most general under this framework with the least conditional independence assumptions between the three components. We have established mild conditions for model identifiability and developed variational EM algorithms to estimate model parameters and community memberships. Extensive simulation studies and application to a food web and a lawyer friendship network indicate that the proposed methods work well.\n\nThe second project focuses on the problem of node classification using both individual features and the network. In a classical setting\, data points are assumed independent and identically distributed\, and a data point is classified using only its own features. When a network between the data points is available\, it often contains additional information about class memberships and can be utilized to improve classification performance. In this work\, we develop a general statistical framework for network augmented classification. Under this framework\, we derive the optimal Bayes classifiers for two general families of distributions incorporating node features and networks. Further\, we establish asymptotic consistency results for plug-in classifiers with respect to the optimal ones under the two families. We have also applied these general approaches to specific models and developed effective classifiers for practical use. The proposed methods have been evaluated using both simulation studies and a teenage friendship network\, and show promising results.\n\nThe final contribution of this thesis is on link prediction for incomplete network data. Most existing link prediction methods require at least partial observation of connections for every node. In real-world networks\, however\, there often exist nodes that do not have any link information\, and it is of interest to make link predictions for them using only their node features. We consider a general setup in which a network consists of three types of nodes\, nodes only having feature information\, nodes only having link information\, and nodes having both. Our goal is to make link predictions for nodes having only feature information. Under this setting\, we have proposed a family of generative models for incomplete networks with node features\, and we have developed a variational auto-encoder algorithm for model estimation and link prediction and investigated different encoder structures. We have also designed a cross-validation scheme under the problem setting for model selection. The proposed method has been evaluated on an online social network and two citation networks and achieves superior performance comparing with existing methods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cognitive Neuroscience/Psycholinguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Linguistics and the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science are pleased to welcome Ina Bornkessel-Schlesewsky and Matthias Schlesewsky\, University of South Australia\, who will present a talk titled \"Inter-individual differences in predictive coding during language processing.\" All are welcome!\n\n\n\nABSTRACT\nPredictive coding provides a compelling theory of how the human brain processes information\, with the potential to provide a unified explanation across a wide range of different cognitive domains. In spite of the prominence of predictive coding-based accounts in cognitive neuroscience\, however\, little is currently known about whether and how predictive coding mechanisms differ between individuals. In our laboratory\, we have recently begun pursuing a research program that aims to systematically examine such inter-individual differences\, with a particular focus on language processing as the cognitive domain of interest. Here\, we will present what we have learned so far. Our results provide evidence for extensive inter-individual differences even in young\, healthy adults. They further suggest that this variability is related to basic neurobiological influences on perceptual sampling  and information processing (individual alpha frequency)\, as well as to the quality of an individual’s language model. We will discuss potential consequences of this variability for predictive coding architectures as well as implications for a lifespan-based perspective on the neurobiology of cognitive processing.

Directed by Tzveta Kassabova with the cast. “And then I realized that the deep darkness inside me had vanished. Suddenly. As suddenly as it has come. I raised myself from the sand and\, without bothering either to take off my shoes or roll up my cuffs\, walked into the surf to let the waves lap at my ankles.” What does it mean to tell a story? Who is the storyteller\, who is listening? What real geography is surrounding us and what landscape do we imagine in our stories?

DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Manna Pottery by Rezgar Mamandi
DESCRIPTION:After finding Mannea pottery artifacts at archaeological sites in his hometown of Rabat in the northwest of Kurdistan in Iran\, Rezgar Mamandi discovered his passion for ceramic art. His formal studies in ceramic art technique were in Turkey. Now Mamandi creates Manna Pottery\, decorative and functional ceramics reproduced from 7th century Mannea Art originals. With hand-painted figures\, patterns\, shapes and colors\, each piece is one-of-a-kind with an ancient\, yet contemporary look achieved by using lead-free\, high-fire oxidation glazes. To describe his relationship to art\, Mamandi quotes Thomas Merton: “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Shape-Shifting: Surface & Form in Clay by Darcy R. Bowden
DESCRIPTION:Darcy R. Bowden has been working in clay for ten years following a forty-year hiatus. In the ensuing years she taught art in the Ann Arbor Public Schools and worked as a printmaker.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Still Lifes in Indigo: Wabi-Sabi Spirit in Textile by Barbara J. Schneider
DESCRIPTION:Barbara J. Schneider’s studio is in the Starline Factory in Harvard\, Illinois. She has an extensive background in surface design\, and she works with cloth\, paint\, dye and thread. The Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi (aesthetic of transience and imperfection) is a strong influence in her work. This collection is a series of stitched textiles that are a reinterpretation of traditional still life paintings. These small\, intimate artworks use vintage Japanese boro fabrics as backgrounds for personal objects that contain a Wabi-Sabi spirit. Schneider teaches and exhibits her work nationally and internationally\, and her work is in both private and public collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. 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. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Performance:Department of Theatre & Drama Studio Production: Murakami by the Sea (RE-SCHEDULED from 2/14-2/17)
DESCRIPTION:*This production has been re-scheduled from February*\n\nDevised Dance/Theatre piece inspired by short stories by Haruki Murakami and many more. Directed by Tzveta Kassabova with the cast. “And then I realized that the deep darkness inside me had vanished. Suddenly. As suddenly as it has come. I raised myself from the sand and\, without bothering either to take off my shoes or roll up my cuffs\, walked into the surf to let the waves lap at my ankles.” What does it mean to tell a story? Who is the storyteller\, who is listening? What real geography is surrounding us and what landscape do we imagine in our stories?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library
DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. 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
