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.

During a 23-year career with the Clements\, Brian Dunnigan has served as curator of maps\, head of research and publications\, associate director\, and acting director.

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.

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

The 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.

Conventional water treatment systems are poorly adapting to the presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). CECs are: persistent\, prevalent\, recalcitrant\, irregularly monitored\, and potentially toxic at low concentrations. The inability to identify and assess CECs prior to entering the environment requires robust treatment technologies\, particularly advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). AOPs are established disinfection methods that can remove CECs by producing hydroxyl radicals (•OH) in situ. Usually combinations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)\, ozone (O3)\, and ultraviolet (UV) light\, traditional AOPs can significantly contribute to the cost of water.\n\nPlasma interacting with liquid water can generate additional AOPs and transient radicals in solution while eliminating consumables and conversion efficiencies. Subsequently\, in principle\, plasma-based AOPs should be considerably cheaper and more effective than conventional AOPs. Although the plasma-water interface can facilitate vital kinetics through various pathways\, approaches to date fail to scale-up due to limited oxidant transport. In this work\, the Plasma Water Reactor (PWR) is proposed as a scalable high-throughput system that advantageously uses flowing water to enhance plasma formation and propagation. The PWR utilizes a close-packed lattice of water jets to mimic packed bed dielectric barrier discharges where water streams serve as the dielectric media.\n\nThe PWR was assessed in pure or single-CEC-spiked distilled water matrices. Pulser parametric kinetic studies were performed by measuring power and species concentrations while varying the pulse voltage\, width\, and frequency. In exclusively distilled water\, H2O2 and O3 were measured for different combinations of pulser parameters. Though the pulser was power- limited\, the PWR revealed relevant oxidant concentrations and variations in [H2O2]/[O3] based on chemical probes. For a given set of pulser parameters that corresponded to high oxidant dose\, methylene blue\, methyl tert-butyl ether\, and 1\,4-dioxane were decomposed. These indicator compounds demonstrated effective flow rates on the order of 0.1—0.75 gal/min for 90% removal. Since 1\,4-dioxane exhibited the slowest destruction\, the PWR was optimized using this compound. In addition to 1\,4-dioxane\, two transformation products\, formate and acetate\, and a plasma byproduct\, nitrate\, were measured. For three different pulser configurations\, 1\,4-dioxane kinetics were analyzed and the PWR achieved at least 0.5-log reduction\, which implies sufficient oxidation. 1\,4-dioxane decay displayed different order of reaction rates and real-time oxidant measurements confirmed [H2O2]/[O3] spanned several orders of magnitude. Thus\, the PWR demonstrated the ability to vary kinetics.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Structured around ecological issues\, the exhibition presents photography\, video\, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials\, disasters\, consumption\, loss\, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists\, including Sammy Baloji\, Liu Bolin\, Dana Levy\, Mary Mattingly\, Pedro Neves Marques\, Gabriel Orozco\, Trevor Paglen\, and Thomas Struth\, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness\, wonder\, and curiosity about the world to come.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \n  \n\nThe World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith\, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728365@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181207T155749 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190505T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:Recess Monkey DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark UID:58323-14461175@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58323 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190430T125119 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190505T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190505T131500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Scientist in the Forum DESCRIPTION:Join a University of Michigan researcher in the Science Forum for a special peek into cutting-edge research.

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 UID:61510-15119367@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61510 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190404T101240 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190505T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190505T150000 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.

The country rockers and dark blues songs of this Midwestern original are truly haunting things. Jeffrey has grown tremendously as a songwriter over the ten albums he has released\, and by now he's gaining raves from the likes of supercritic Greil Marcus\, who describes Jeffrey's music this way: \"An acoustic guitar figure comes up against drums buried far away\, like a memory. The story creeps out\, and stops well short of its end\, though you can glimpse it. Foucault drifts over the words so lightly that they seem to fade as they’re sung\, and you might stop trying to hear them as words\, let them come as sounds.\" Jeffrey comes to Michigan with a stunning new album\, \"Blood Brothers.\" UID:61177-15045300@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61177 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190429T181503 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190505T193000 SUMMARY:Performance:Musical Theatre Senior Showcase DESCRIPTION:The Senior Showcase is an unforgettable revue featuring the wide range of talent of the Musical Theatre Department’s graduating seniors.

It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

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

However\, our ability to manipulate the oxidation states of functional groups in complex settings with high efficiency\, precision\, and minimal waste remains in a largely nascent stage. Owing to its many distinct characteristics\, electrochemistry represents an attractive approach to meet the prevailing trends in organic synthesis. In particular\, electrocatalysis—a process that integrates electrochemistry and small-molecule catalysis—has the potential to substantially improve the scope of synthetic electrochemistry and provide a wide range of useful transformations. Despite its attractive attributes and extensive applications in energy-related fields\, electrocatalysis has been used only sparingly in synthetic organic chemistry. Toward this end\, we developed a new catalytic approach that combines electrochemistry and redox-metal catalysis for the oxidative difunctionalization of alkenes to access a diverse array of vicinally functionalized structures. This presentation will detail our design principle underpinning the development of electrocatalytic alkene diazidation\, dichlorination\, halotrifluoromethylation\, haloalkylation\, and cyanophosphonylation. \n \n \nLarry Hamann(Celgene) \, Donna Huryn(University of Pittsburgh) \, Song Lin(Cornell University) UID:61858-15223782@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61858 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190402T170423 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190506T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190506T145000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Lightning and Thunder Talks – Growth and Engagement DESCRIPTION:This series of short (“lightning”) talks will discuss techniques and technologies used in assessment and study in courses throughout the University of Michigan. After the talks\, the individual presenters will move to tables scattered around the room for informal breakout sessions (“thunder”) to discuss their experiences with attendees and answer questions. \n\nIncludes two Ginsberg Center lightning talks: \n\nPreparing Students to Enter\, Engage and Exit Communities\nNeeraja Aravamudan\, Associate Director for Teaching & Research\, Ginsberg Center\nGinsberg Center staff will highlight key elements that faculty & staff should consider to effectively prepare students for community-engaged learning through courses\, programs\, student-led efforts\, and other contexts. Community engagement is framed as working with communities to work towards shared goals\, and includes experiences like direct service\, volunteering\, consulting\, community-based research\, social entrepreneurship\, and more. We will share resources that can support faculty and staff in these efforts during the talk.\n\nConnecting Michigan: A Community Engagement Infrastructure\nDave Waterhouse\, Associate Director of the Ginsberg Center\nIn September 2018\, Connecting Michigan launched to explore the feasibility of a coordinated\, broadly accessible\, technology-enabled infrastructure for community and civic engagement to advance the University of Michigan’s mission and amplify its contributions to the public good. The effort has been led by the Ginsberg Center\, in partnership with the Office of Government Relations and the Office of the Provost.

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.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728367@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190417T135013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190507T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190507T150000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Video-rate AFM Workshop for Dynamic Imaging DESCRIPTION:This two-day workshop (May 7-8) and demo will present topics on fast atomic force microscopy (AFM) for dynamic cellular/biomolecular imaging and biophysical measurements\, followed by a demo period for user-provided samples.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

The 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.

Anyone teaching about evolutionary concepts may be interested in this workshop\, as the AVIDA-ED platform is best suited to teaching about evolution. “Evolution” can be broadly construed\, including applications in computer science and cancer cell research.\n\nAVIDA-ED (the platform): AVIDA is a research platform that is used by professional scientists to study evolution. The AVIDA-ED platform (http://avida-ed.msu.edu/) is the same as AVIDA\, but the platform is simplified to make it accessible to undergraduates. The platform is used in many undergraduate laboratories and lectures (including UM Dearborn)\, as a way of doing inquiry-based instruction about evolution. It provides an instance of evolution\, not a simulation. This is extremely powerful. Moreover\, the evolution takes place quickly enough to be observed in a lecture period.\n\nPlease REGISTER at the link below.

Educators have been using lecture for hundreds of years\, and it is particularly effective early in a course with students who have limited content knowledge. And research has shown that lecture can be improved by integrating active and team based learning strategies into the lesson—even in classes with 300 or more students!\n\nThis session will briefly discuss the research that supports interactive lectures and explore ten engaging group activities that can help students meet course outcomes. A clear description of each activity will be provided\, along with relevant\, real-life examples that can be integrated into any size course.

The course covers foundational principles\, concepts\, and skills for anyone — from novices to experienced practitioners — who wants to work more effectively with community members and organizations. The team intentionally designed this course to be flexible\, including modules and activities that can be mixed and matched\, taken all together or in chunks\, and completed independently or in tandem with facilitated coursework\, pre-departure training\, etc.\n\nThis workshop will introduce participants to the course content and cover a wide range of ways to leverage it in different contexts\, including but not limited to: in-person courses\, community-academic partnerships\, client projects\, education and work abroad\, research projects\, internships\, public scholarship\, and student organizations. The workshop will begin with a brief overview of the course and its development\, including ways U-M faculty\, staff\, and students have used it\, followed by an activity in which participants will design a plan for using it in their own contexts. Presenters will also share some new companion materials designed specifically for instructors and facilitators.\n\nThis session is part of the Public Engagement theme during Enriching Scholarship 2019: a series of workshops and discussions intentionally and collaboratively crafted by units all over campus to foster engaged learning and scholarship in service of public impact.

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.

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

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

Her films are brilliant\, intimate portraits that explore the weight of social institutions and social injustice placed upon the shoulders of her characters.

Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728369@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190424T123922 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190509T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190509T100000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Ph.D. Defense: Susannah Engdahl DESCRIPTION:Despite the significant functional limitations imposed by upper limb loss\, little research has focused on quantifying the functional success and satisfaction of prosthesis users. Most existing evidence comes from surveys\, rather than experimental outcomes. Without a quantitative baseline\, it is difficult to know where to focus attention for improvement in future prosthesis designs or to demonstrate whether new designs offer advantages over existing technologies. Thus\, the goal of this dissertation was to quantify how functional outcomes and satisfaction relate to the type of prosthesis used.\n\nThe first aim was to determine if prosthesis type affects embodiment\, or the extent to which prosthesis users perceived their prosthesis to be part of their body. We quantified embodiment for body-powered (BP) and myoelectric (MYO) prosthesis users based on a survey and two objective measurements of body schema and peripersonal space. Although BP users reported a stronger sense of agency over their prostheses in comparison to MYO users\, other measures did not consistently differentiate experiences of embodiment based on prosthesis type. However\, measurements of body schema varied depending on the cause of limb loss.\n\nThe second aim was to determine if prosthesis type impacts movement quality during activities of daily living. As an initial step for this aim\, we quantified the reliability of movement quality metrics (three measures of smoothness and one measure of straightness) in healthy adults performing a variety of different tasks. Based on these findings\, we then compared movement quality in BP and MYO prosthesis users during a subset of tasks (moving a can from a low shelf to a high shelf\, placing a pill in a pillbox\, and placing a pushpin in a bulletin board) using the metrics that had the highest reliability. All movements were slower when performed with MYO prostheses\, except for the reaching phase of the pill task. Object manipulation movements were consistently less smooth when performed with MYO prostheses. However\, differences in curvature of the reaching movements between the prosthesis types varied across tasks.\n\nThe third aim was to determine if prosthesis type affects kinematic compensations during activities of daily living. We quantified lateral lean\, axial rotation\, and flexion of the trunk during the same three activities of daily living. The range of motion was greater in all directions for BP prostheses during each task—except axial rotation and flexion during the pin task\, which were greater for MYO prostheses.\n\nThe fourth aim was to explore the factors associated with interest in noninvasive (myoelectric) and invasive (targeted muscle reinnervation\, peripheral nerve interfaces\, cortical interfaces) interfaces for prosthesis control. An online survey collected opinions from 232 individuals with upper limb loss on the interfaces. Relationships between interest in the interfaces and demographics\, limb loss characteristics\, and prosthesis use history were defined using bivariate analysis and logistic regression. There was increased interest in the invasive interfaces among individuals who were younger\, had unilateral limb loss\, or had acquired limb loss.\n\nTaken together\, these aims suggest that BP prostheses may promote embodiment and smooth movement\, while MYO prostheses may minimize compensatory movement. Although emerging prosthesis technologies requiring surgical intervention may not be accepted by all individuals with upper limb loss\, functional outcomes with these technologies should be compared to outcomes with existing BP and MYO prostheses to demonstrate the relative merits of each design.

Stewart is the Sandra Schwartz Tangri Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Women’s Studies at UM. She directed the UM ADVANCE Program from 2001-2016. UM ADVANCE is a national science foundation funded program to get more women into the STEM fields. Her research focuses on academic and life experiences related to race\, class\, and gender. \nSara Armstrong\, Ph.D. has been the director of the CRLT Theatre Program since 2012. The CRLT players is a program to train students and other actors to portray situations in which there may be unconscious biases or other modes of discrimination including gender discrimination. She has over twenty-five years of experience in acting and education in many organizations. In her role at CRLT\, she develops scripts\, Players sessions\, and incorporates theatre into professional development programs at UM.\n\nWe will briefly describe the overall goals and programs involved in the UM ADVANCE Program’s efforts to improve gender equity and inclusion in the faculty\, but will focus particularly on ADVANCE’s collaboration with the CRLT Theater Program. We will describe and illustrate both how exposure to theater sketches can raise important issues\, and how facilitated discussion can help faculty gain increased understanding of issues and their potential role in addressing them.\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is Changing Gender Roles. The next series will start June 13\, 2019. The topic is A Celebration of Local Authors.

So pervasive are digital technologies in the 21st century that it is difficult to find critical distance from this immersive new world of ubiquitous connectivity\, social media feeds\, smartphones\, mobile apps\, responsive design\, algorithmic recommendation systems\, and voice-controlled home shopping assistants. While the question “what is the digital?” is compelling\, the more pressing question might be instead: what does it mean to be alive in the digital age?\n\nAcross campus\, this question will emerge in courses\, colloquia\, lectures\, and informal conversations among students\, faculty\, staff\, and peers. Critically engaging with the big issues\, urgent consequences\, and radical possibilities for grappling with the meaning of life in this era of digital ubiquity. Whether defined as “animated corporeal existence\,” “vitality\,” or “to continue\, to remain\,” we see a profound opportunity to approach the digital world through a spectrum of the meaning of life-ness - alive\, liveness\, animated\, lifelike\, life-adjacent\, consciousness\, awareness\, attention\, awoke.\n\n“Living a Digital Life” is the 2019 Michigan Meeting.

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

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

The 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.

In this seminar\, Mitchell Weiss will describe two examples in which these protein quality control mechanisms facilitate red blood cell development:\n\n1. In beta thalassemia\, HBB gene mutations cause loss of the beta globin subunit of hemoglobin with resultant buildup of the alpha globin subunit. Free alpha globin forms toxic precipitates that destroy erythroid precursors and shorten the half-life of mature red blood cells. Weiss shows that erythroid precursors eliminate free alpha globin by autophagy through a pathway that requires the ULK1 kinase but is independent of the canonical autophagy protein ATG5. mTORC1 inhibits ULK1 and rapamycin inhibition of mTORC1 stimulates ULK1-mediated autophagy of free alpha globin in beta thalassemic erythroblasts\, illustrating a “druggable” pathway for potential therapies.\n\n2. Weiss's group identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase FBXO11 in a CRISPR screen for proteins that facilitate red blood cell development. He shows that FBXO11 degrades BAHD1\, a heterochromatin associated repressor protein bound to the promoters of erythroid genes. Elimination of BAHD1 at these genes “opens” local chromatin\, thereby enabling binding of GATA1\, a master regulator transcription factor that activates gene expression. These findings show how the developmentally timed activity of a single ubiquitin ligase controls cell fate by coordinately activating hundreds of lineage-specific genes.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nMitchell Weiss became chair of the Hematology Department at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2014. Before that\, he was the associate director for The Human Embryonic Stem Cell Core Facility at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Weiss sees pediatric patients with non-malignant blood disorders in the hospital and studies these diseases in the laboratory. His research interests are to better understand the mechanisms of normal red blood cell development and use this information to treat common blood disorders\, including sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia. Weiss previously served as the director of the Pediatric Physician-Scientist Development Program at CHOP and associate director of the Combined Degree and Physician Scholar Program at Penn. His career has been dedicated to pediatric hematology research and training the next generation of physician-scientists in the field.

VAl_3 families are predicted as the type II Dirac semimetals where the Dirac bands are strongly tilted\; therefore violate Lorentz-symmetry and have no analogue in high energy physics. CeSbTe were reported with multi Dirac/Weyl bands which can be tuned by magnetic fields. \n\nBy measuring de Hass-van Alphen effect using torque magnetomery in VAl_3 families. It revealed the existence of tilted Dirac cones with Dirac type-II nodes located at 100\, 230 and 250 meV away from the Fermi level of VAl_3\, NbAl_3\, and TaAl_3\, respectively. These results are consistent with earlier band structure calculations\, which also predict a non-trivial electronic topology. However\, for all three compounds we find that the cyclotron orbits on the Fermi surfaces\, including an orbit nearly enclosing the Dirac type-II node\, yield trivial Berry phases. We will show that in order to determine the Berry phases\, the overall understanding of the topology of the Fermi surfaces and the g-factors are required. \n\nCeSbSe shows magnetization plateaus between the antiferromagnetic states (M = 0) and the magnetization saturated states M_{sat}. The fractional plateau values of M/M_{sat} are equal to 1/6\, 1/3\, 5/12\, 1/2\, and 3/4. I will discuss a possible explanation between the magnetization plateaus and the magnetic structures of CeSbSe from the single crystal neutron diffraction data. \n\nReferences:\n\n[1] K.-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.
