The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Dynamic Football laminated paper works explore compositions of action\, allowing the artist to exploit the properties of the medium. The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059350@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190920T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190920T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Refreshments will be served. \n\nCindy Sowers received her B.A. from Oakland University\, her M.A. from University of Michigan in Comparative Literature\, and her Ph.D. also from the University of Michigan in Comparative Literature. During her Masters program in 1973\, she started teaching at the Residential College in the First Year Seminar and French programs. Her dissertation\, The Shared Structure of Craft and Song: A Study of Homer’s Narrative Art\, revealed passions for narrative and visual analysis comparatively understood that would characterize her teaching thereafter. She participated in an interdisciplinary group composed of Residential College humanities and fine arts faculty who together constructed the Arts and Ideas in the Humanities concentration. Cindy's recent course offerings have included critical approaches to the literature and visual arts of classic modernism\, postmodernism\, Shakespeare and Rome\, the heritage of Greece\, the psychoanalytic interpretation of the arts\, and many others. She combines analyses of literary texts\, visual arts\, and philosophy to hone in on the animating spirit of a cultural moment and space. She has presented at the Royal Shakespeare Company's 2006 U-M residency\, as part of the RC Faculty Colloquium\, for the LSA Comparative Literature and the Colloquium on Critical Theory sponsored by the LSA Department of English Language and Literature\, and at the Residential College's 50th Anniversary celebration. She has received the Ford Foundation Fellowship\, the Rackham Prize twice\, the U-M Excellence in Teaching Award\, the Matthews Underclass Teaching Award\, and is a member of the Medieval Academy of America. Cindy retires from her position as a Senior Lecturer and Lecturer IV\, having served in the Residential College for 46 years. She has an active art practice\, and her work will be displayed in the RC Art Gallery in a fall 2019 exhibition. She also maintains a personal website\, cynthiasowers.rc.lsa.umich.edu\, where she publishes essays\, poetry\, and visual artwork.

Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N.

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. Daily contact with the collections has inspired reflections on some of the things that the Clements does very well\, driving his exhibit themes around active collecting\, conservation\, solving mysteries\, and more. \n\nDunnigan’s selections include poignant manuscripts\, striking visual imagery and cartography\, and some of his favorite materials from the collections\, drawing especially from his expertise in the mapping of the Great Lakes. This valedictory exhibit in the Clements’s soaring Avenir Foundation Reading Room dwells on seven areas of commitment and illustrates the concepts with some of the Library's most evocative and handsome holdings.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\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:63803-15884066@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820738@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190718T181548 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190920T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190920T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ceal Floyer: Things DESCRIPTION:Visitors entering Floyer’s installation Things (2009) in the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery encounter a collection of identical plinths that would ordinarily be used to display art objects in the Museum\, but these platforms are empty. In place of visible objects\, each plinth is equipped with a speaker from which we hear the word “thing” sung—edited out of and isolated from a range of pop songs. The result is an amusing and thoughtful exploration of language\, meaning\, and the conventions of museum presentation and spectatorship.\n \nThe installation\, like much of Berlin-based artist Ceal Floyer’s art\, is characteristically austere\, but its visual simplicity masks a more complicated message—often a wry cerebral twist the artist creates through language-based symbols and aesthetic devices. Floyer’s work is rooted in conceptual art\, in which the idea\, delivered through words or acts that undercut or supersede formal qualities\, is the essence of the artwork.\n\nLead support  for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W.

Beyond the East-West Encounter: Inter-Asian Intimacies and Estrangements in Colonial and Postcolonial Burma\, 1850–1950 DESCRIPTION:Sexual\, conjugal\, and household relations between white colonial masters and native women have long served as the paradigm of the colonial encounter. The talk offers a different and as yet untold story of colonial interaction: inter-Asian intimacies. Under British (1826–1942\; 1945–47) and Japanese (1942–45) colonial rule\, Burma\, as with much of Southeast Asia\, was a destination for millions of Indian\, Chinese\, and Japanese merchants\, laborers\, soldiers\, and civil servants. These overwhelmingly male Asian subjects and brokers of empire forged intimate ties with local women as sexual\, emotional\, domestic\, and business partners—one role often bleeding into another—within and outside the institution of marriage. These intimacies became\, over the course of the twentieth century\, flashpoints for far-reaching legislative reforms\, communal riots\, and anti-colonial\, Buddhist\, feminist\, and nationalist movements. Based on imperial archival\, vernacular\, and oral sources in Burmese\, Japanese\, Chinese\, and English that have never been brought together\, the talk explores shifts and continuities in perceptions\, practices\, and experiences of inter-Asian intimacy in colonial Burma\, resisting both the stigmatization and the romanticization of inter-Asian intimacies as either treacherous liaisons or heroic acts of radical love. It shows how inter-Asian intimacies constituted the primary\, and hitherto unrecognized\, site for articulating and adjudicating modern understandings of race\, religion\, and nation that continue to vex Burma and other parts of Southeast Asia today. The talk concludes with a reflection on the significance of these prevalent yet neglected intimacies for new approaches to the study of modern colonialisms and their legacies.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nTeaching HFE To BME Undergraduate and Graduate Students: Lessons & Tips\n\nAbstract: \nDr. Gosbee will present some short examples of how he teaches the basics of human factors engineering (HFE) to the biomedical engineering (BME) learners. For instance\, one interactive group exercise is applying the Stroop Effect to design of labeling for medical gas cylinders. He will show how usability testing and HFE aspects of risk management fit into BME senior and graduate design courses (as co-instructor). The focus is on methods and structure required by FDA and international standards (e.g.\, IEC 62366). Additionally\, a short overview of how he also injects some HFE into other BME courses like “Needs Finding” (BME 499\, Dr. Rachael Schmedlen\, lead) and Regulatory science (BME 588\, Dr Joan Greve\, lead) will be presented.\n\nBio: \nJohn Gosbee\, MD\, MS teaches human factors engineering (HFE) and patient safety at the University of Michigan Departments of Internal Medicine and Biomedical Engineering. He leads development of patient safety curriculum for several medical and surgical residencies. He teaches HFE for several BME design courses\, including capstone design courses\, observation course\, and regulatory science.

That is\, people are harassed\, excluded\, and discriminated against for a variety of social identities (e.g.\, class\, sexuality\, gender\, age\, race\, size) which intersect and interrelate. In social and organizational psychology\, efforts to understand and end workplace discrimination thus far have tended to focus on single dimensions of marginalization or privilege (e.g.\, gender)\, giving us an incomplete picture of how discrimination is enacted and experienced. In this talk\, I will discuss research from the PWR (Power\, Women\, and Relationships) Lab that has used intersectionality theory and the stereotype content model to understand how discrimination manifests for employees based on their combined racial and gender identities. First\, I will discuss published quantitative research with students Jessica Saunders and Ryan Jacobson on how STEM professors evaluate post-doc candidates based on the candidates’ race and gender\, together. Next\, I will discuss published and unpublished qualitative research with student Anna Kallschmidt on identity management and belonging among White men employees from working class and impoverished backgrounds. Finally\, I will discuss work student Sarah Robinson and I are pursuing on how the use of certain dialectical styles (White American\, urban African American\, and Southern American) effects ratings of men employees in individual-structured telephone interviews. Implications of intersectional approaches for fair and just hiring practices and for diversity trainings and interventions will be discussed.

A medical conception of toxicity looks at the toxin\, the dose\, frequency\, route of delivery\, susceptibility of the individual or population\, and more. All these factors can be fruitfully explored in connection to understanding the mechanisms by which speech acts and discursive practices can inflict harm\, making sense of claims about harms arising from speech devoid of slurs\, epithets\, or a narrower class I call ‘deeply derogatory terms.’ By highlighting the role of uptake and susceptibility\, and this model suggests a framework for thinking about damage variation. Toxic effects vary depending on one’s epistemic position\, access\, and authority. An inferentialist account of discursive practice plus a dynamic view of the power of language games offers tools to analyze the toxic power of speech acts. Even a simple account of language games has the potential to track changes in our discursive practices. Identifying patterns contributes to an epidemiology of toxic speech\, which might include tracking increasing use of derogatory terms\, us/them dichotomization\, terms of isolation\, new essentialisms\, and more. Finally\, I will highlight a few ways to respond to toxic speech\, some predictable from past theories (Brandom’s challenging\, Langton’s blocking) and some perhaps more unexpected.

Although this process had a profound effect on the planet\, largely establishing the major and trace element compositions of the metallic core and silicate mantle\, the planetary differentiation process itself remains largely a mystery. Important constraints on planetary differentiation are provided by experimental investigations of metal-silicate reactions at high pressures and temperatures\, simulating the thermodynamic conditions at which much of the differentiation is thought to have occurred. These studies have shown\, for example\, that characteristic P\,T conditions for core-mantle equilibration are comparable to the liquidus at mid-mantle depths\, and that these reactions produce metal compositions that are broadly consistent with the geophysical constraints on Earth's core. The consequences of core-mantle differentiation on the planetary budgets of several trace elements will also be discussed.

Trautmann Honorary Lecture | Early Readers and Early Readings of the Mahābhārata DESCRIPTION:The Sanskrit Mahābhārata did not receive a commentary until the eleventh century. Well before then\, however\, it had become a central feature of Indian high culture\, adapted by poets and dramatists\, deliberated on by philosophers and aestheticians. Over the past century scholars have usefully examined these early treatments for what they tell us about the history of the Mahābhārata’s text. The commentaries\, some of which establish a version of the text\, have been put to similar text-historical use. \n\nIn this lecture I will argue for the value of the material that lies outside the boundaries of the epic proper\, not in writing the history of the text\, but in writing the history of that text’s meaning to its readers. An interest in the history of the reception of ancient canonical texts through their commentaries and related paratexts has gained prominence in the study of the literary traditions of other parts of the world\, because of its inherent interest and its utility for intellectual history. With some exceptions\, the Indological field has remained hesitant about reception studies\, in part because it is perceived to open the door to anachronistic readings\, thereby violating a governing disciplinary principle\, that of historicism. And yet built into this Indological stance is a contradiction\, due to the huge extra-academic importance in the present of Sanskrit texts like the Mahābhārata.\n\nIn 1942\, the founding editor of the Poona edition\, V.S. Sukthankar\, delivered a series of seminal lectures\, ‘On the Meaning of the Mahābhārata\,’ that is representative of the quandary. Sukthankar proposed a meaning for the epic working from within the text itself. He did not rely on the commentators\, epitomizers\, poets\, or literary theorists\, yet in ruling out possibilities he did use as an argument the brute fact of the importance of the Mahābhārata to the Indian people. The idea of the Mahābhārata as India’s national epic whispers through the twentieth century scholarship\, and yet its popularity in the present is neither an automatic result of its antiquity nor an accident of modernity.\n\nThe text was composed to create a remembered past. Over time its transmitters adjusted that memory and the text itself as they performed it\, codified it\, and used it as a point of departure. Survivals of this process are abundant in the Mahabharata’s poetic and dramatic recreations and occasional pieces\, and especially in its ancillary literature: its commentaries\, its versified summaries\, its indices\, and its ‘satellite texts\,’ that is\, marginal verses and other materials\, some of which crept into the body of the epic over time.\n\nIf for nothing else\, the history of the reception of the itihasa of the Bhārata clan through this material can serve as a way to confirm or disconfirm historical claims about the epic’s meaning\, either as invented or as original\, especially when the claims are presented as justiciable only by experts\, or when the claims pretend to speak for a collective indigenous understanding that is inaccessible to those not native to the culture. Special reference will be made to episodes with elephants\, either actual or imaginary\, and to the Arthaśāstra. \n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Knoll Lecture: Adam Bernstein\, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Detection and Measurement of Highly Penetrating Radiation\n\nABSTRACT: Glenn Knoll’s seminal textbook on Radiation Detection and Measurement covers the topic with great depth\, breadth and clarity\, with an obvious and sensible focus on ionizing radiations. In this lecture I discuss a type of radiation that does not readily induce ionization\, but is nonetheless a continued source of fascination and study by physicists\, and more recently\, nuclear engineers. Neutrinos have remarkable properties of penetration\, passing through the entire Earth with a vanishingly small probability of interaction. In sufficiently large numbers\, such as are emitted by reactors\, the sun\, the Earth itself\, and supernovae\, the aggregated probability of interaction becomes appreciable. When a neutrino does interact\, it generates the familiar ionizing radiations whose detection is reviewed in Professor Knoll’s textbook. In this lecture\, I will introduce the basic properties of the neutrino\, share some of the triumphs and tribulations of the experimentalists who have sought to measure them\, and discuss relatively recent efforts at my own Laboratory\, and world-wide\, to harness these unusual\, seductively evanescent particles for the practical purpose of monitoring the operations of nuclear reactors. \n\nBIO: Dr. Adam Bernstein is a staff physicist at LLNL and a fellow of the American Physical Society. He also leads the Rare Event Detection group in the Nuclear & Chemical Sciences division at LLNL. Since receiving his PhD in physics from Columbia University in 1995\, he has worked on the development of advanced low noise\, low cost\, high-efficiency and high-resolution radiation detectors for use in fundamental and applied physics. He has pioneered and helped bring to maturity what has become a wide international effort to develop antineutrino detectors as a tool for monitoring nuclear reactors.\n\nIn the area of applied physics\, Bernstein’s main interests are in the development of improved radiation detection techniques that facilitate global nuclear arms control\, nonproliferation\, and disarmament. His fundamental physics interests are primarily in the study of rare neutral particles\, in particular the measurement of neutrino oscillations using reactor sources\, and the search for direct interactions of dark matter in Earthly detectors. \n\n\nThis annual lecture series was made possible by a generous endowment from Gladys Knoll to commemorate the over 50-year UM career in education and research of the late Professor Emeritus\, Chair and Interim Dean\, Glenn F. Knoll. These lectures in nuclear measurements\, the field pioneered by Professor Knoll\, will be an inspiration to future generations of students.

The Ukrainian Famine: What We Know Now—And Why It Matters DESCRIPTION:In 1929 Stalin launched his policy of agricultural collectivization—in effect a second Russian revolution—which forced millions of peasants off their land and onto collective farms. The result was a catastrophic famine\, the most lethal in European history. At least five million people died between 1931 and 1933 in the USSR. But instead of sending relief\, the Soviet state made use of the catastrophe to rid itself of a political problem. In her book \"Red Famine\,\" Anne Applebaum argues that more than three million of those dead were Ukrainians who perished not because they were accidental victims of a bad policy\, but because the state deliberately set out to kill them. \n \nToday\, Russia\, the successor to the Soviet Union\, has placed Ukrainian independence in its sights once more. Applebaum’s compulsively readable narrative recalls one of the worst crimes of the twentieth century\, and shows how it may foreshadow a new threat to the political order in the twenty-first. \n \nAnne Applebaum is a foreign policy columnist for the Washington Post and a prize-winning author with a particular expertise in the history of communist and post-communist Europe. She is also a senior fellow at the Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University and a professor of practice at the London School of Economics\, where she runs ARENA\, a research project on disinformation and 21st century propaganda. She is the author of several books\, including \"Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine\" and \"Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe.\" Her book \"Gulag: A History\" won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction\, and her writing has also won the Cundill\, Nonino and Lionel Gelber prizes\, among many others. Anne is a former member of the \"Washington Post\" editorial board\, a former deputy editor of the \"Spectator\" magazine\, and a former Warsaw correspondent of \"The Economist.\" She has lectured at many universities\, including Yale\, Harvard\, Columbia\, Oxford\, Cambridge\, and Georgetown\, where she was awarded an honorary doctorate. She writes regularly for the \"New York Review of Books\,\" \"Foreign Affairs\,\" and many other publications. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Enjoy a live DJ and refreshments.\n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\nArtists: Annabel Castro\, Mahwish Chishty\, Lyn Goeringer\, Ryan Griffis & Sarah Ross\, Kate Hollenbach\, Carrie Hott\, X.A.

Musical lives honed its skill. Adversity instilled its persistence. Moving to Austin gave it wings to fly. Understanding the virtuosity of Reckless Kelly requires the perspective of where the band has been. Cody and Willy Braun grew up in the White Cloud Mountains of Idaho. They moved to Bend\, Oregon\, and then migrated to that great musical fountainhead\, Austin\, Texas. It's natural that Reckless Kelly\, born in the dreams of the two Braun brothers and their heritage but nurtured in the bumpy road of maturity\, became the very essence of Americana music in all its far-flung glory. \"We came along in that second wave of the movement\,\" Cody Braun says. “Son Volt’s album 'Trace' had a major effect on us. People like Joe Ely\, Ray Kennedy and Robert Earl Keen were always big supporters. Our goal was to make music that had a country vibe but a solid rock edge.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Dynamic Football laminated paper works explore compositions of action\, allowing the artist to exploit the properties of the medium. The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Much has been said regarding these refugees\, but all too often the voices of refugees themselves are left out of the conversation.\n\nThis exhibit uses the data collected from a Photovoice project\, combining photography and transcriptions from groups discussions with adolescent refugees to better understand the lived experiences of adolescent refugees. The gallery highlights five main themes that were discussed: Stability and Security\, Interpersonal Difficulties\, Rooting Factors\, Personal Growth\, and Contribution.\n\n“I wish I could help out people… Imma give them everything.

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.

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.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\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:63803-15884067@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820739@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190718T181548 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190921T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190921T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ceal Floyer: Things DESCRIPTION:Visitors entering Floyer’s installation Things (2009) in the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery encounter a collection of identical plinths that would ordinarily be used to display art objects in the Museum\, but these platforms are empty. In place of visible objects\, each plinth is equipped with a speaker from which we hear the word “thing” sung—edited out of and isolated from a range of pop songs. The result is an amusing and thoughtful exploration of language\, meaning\, and the conventions of museum presentation and spectatorship.\n \nThe installation\, like much of Berlin-based artist Ceal Floyer’s art\, is characteristically austere\, but its visual simplicity masks a more complicated message—often a wry cerebral twist the artist creates through language-based symbols and aesthetic devices. Floyer’s work is rooted in conceptual art\, in which the idea\, delivered through words or acts that undercut or supersede formal qualities\, is the essence of the artwork.\n\nLead support  for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind.

As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\nArtists: Annabel Castro\, Mahwish Chishty\, Lyn Goeringer\, Ryan Griffis & Sarah Ross\, Kate Hollenbach\, Carrie Hott\, X.A.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059351@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190904T114403 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190921T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190921T140000 SUMMARY:Other:MIW Application Deadline-September 23\, 2019 DESCRIPTION:Application deadline for regular admission Winter 2020 and early admission Fall 2020.

This music is testament to a formidable talent for composition. Born in Antwerp to a prominent family of merchants and art collectors who had immigrated from Portugal in the early sixteenth century (friends of Vermeer\, and possibly Rubens)\, Leonora received a superb musical education that included instruction on harpsichord\, lute\, and viol\, as well as lessons in composition. Her musical evenings at home quickly became well-known ports of call for traveling diplomats and literati\, among them Constantijn Huygens\, William and Margaret Cavendish\, and composer Nicholas Lanier. This paper will consider Leonora and her music as products of diverse influences within the landscape of post-Inquisition Antwerp\, as evidence of complex and symbiotic relationships with male contemporaries\, and as vital testimony to the cultural accomplishments of women conversos in early modern Europe. It will draw upon musical analysis\, critical theory\, issues of gender — and Sonnambula’s recordings of the works as musical examples (Centaur Records\, 2019). What emerges is a narrative in which the embodied experience of musical performance allowed Leonora to navigate the waters of social diplomacy within the broader context of Antwerp’s outward dedication to cultural exchange.\n\nEvent co-sponsored with the Academy of Early Music.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Dynamic Football laminated paper works explore compositions of action\, allowing the artist to exploit the properties of the medium. The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820740@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190805T093506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190922T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190922T112000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Science Forum Demo: Counting Cells DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for 15-20 minute engaging science demonstrations that will help you see the world around you in a whole new way.

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.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\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:63803-15884068@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

In place of visible objects\, each plinth is equipped with a speaker from which we hear the word “thing” sung—edited out of and isolated from a range of pop songs. The result is an amusing and thoughtful exploration of language\, meaning\, and the conventions of museum presentation and spectatorship.\n \nThe installation\, like much of Berlin-based artist Ceal Floyer’s art\, is characteristically austere\, but its visual simplicity masks a more complicated message—often a wry cerebral twist the artist creates through language-based symbols and aesthetic devices. Floyer’s work is rooted in conceptual art\, in which the idea\, delivered through words or acts that undercut or supersede formal qualities\, is the essence of the artwork.\n\nLead support  for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059352@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190904T114403 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190922T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190922T140000 SUMMARY:Other:MIW Application Deadline-September 23\, 2019 DESCRIPTION:Application deadline for regular admission Winter 2020 and early admission Fall 2020.

The other relates the fascinating story of the Power family’s important role in supporting and promoting Inuit art from the outset\, bringing public attention to its artistic strength and cultural importance. The Power family’s collection is unusual in its strong representation of early contemporary carvings\, incised drawings on ivory and antler\, soapstone sculptures\, and prints that evolved as Inuit artists developed their own artistic voices and responded creatively to their changing world. \n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

It is an illness of dynamic states and pathological changes in energy\, emotion\, and cognitions. The Prechter Bipolar Program studies the course and outcome of bipolar disorder from several vantage points and identifies 7 phenotypic sub-classes that contribute to the observed phenotype in a pluralistic manner. The classes include: disease\, cognitive neuroscience (neuropsychology)\, psychology (personality)\, motivated behaviors\, sleep and circadian\, life story\, and course / outcomes. Each of the phenotype sub-classes defines a scientific edge of research\, each with contributions from several independent disciplines. The Prechter Bipolar Longitudinal Cohort consists over 1350 participants with clinical and biological data that will be available for collaborative research projects.

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

The focus of these issues has primarily been in social\, cognitive\, and cognitive neuroscience psychology\, however\, the area of developmental research is not immune to these issues. This presentation provides an overview of the “replication crisis” and the choices made by researchers that are often not noted in methods\, thus making the replication of studies more difficult. In this review\, we discuss issues of researcher flexibility in the data design and selection of sample size\, collection\, and analysis stages of research. In each of these areas\, we address examples of bias and how developmental researchers can address these issues in their own research.

Experimental and theoretical endeavors go in the direction of charge and energy transport\, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) enhancement\, modified chemical reactivity etc. Oftentimes experiments rely on theoretical models developed for standard cavity quantum electrodynamics with two-level quantum emitters. Molecular systems however have an increased complexity as molecular vibrations and level disorder play a crucial role. We provide a theoretical formalism to tackle the light-electronic-vibrations dynamics modeled via the Holstein-Tavis-Cummings Hamiltonian [1]. We analytically describe aspects such as: polariton asymmetry\, molecular branching ratio modification in the Purcell regime and cavity-mediated donor-acceptor FRET processes.\n\n[1] M. Reitz\, C.

Using data on the U.S. stock market\, I show that the excess returns due news on the latest U.S. tax reform are strongly related to traditional measures of firm profitability and market power. Compared to a firm in perfect competition\, my model predicts that a monopolist would see its excess return increased by between 5 and 105 percentage points more upon news of the tax cut. I use this fact to construct a new measure of firm profitability based on its stock market reaction to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. My results show that profitability across U.S. firms is distributed with a long right tail\, confirming results from a growing literature documenting an increase in mark-ups and a concentration of market power in the U.S. economy.

Hospitals have also continued to build new operating rooms\, but advances in patient care and safety are not always evident. In this seminar\, we address these two areas of concern regarding day-of-surgery patient flow and safety. Part 1: We describe the development and testing of a mobile application to explore if the use of technology could reduce barriers to communication and coordination on the day of surgery. While staff members in a hospital’s perioperative services department perform their work individually\, their choices of upcoming tasks depend on data they can either observe or gather verbally in order to maintain patient flow. Without constant communication with members of other departments\, staff may inadvertently select lower priority tasks\, which is counter-productive to perioperative services as a whole. The developed mobile application\, Periop-MLS\, provided each department and its members greater visibility of the workflow. To carry out user testing\, the researchers integrated a day-of-surgery discrete event simulation model to communicate with the mobile app to provide realistic scenarios. Through trial-runs of Periop-MLS with staff members\, the POS department was able to make proactive coordination and communication decisions. Part 2: It is important to design an operating room layout that can not only improve staff and patient safety but also increase efficiency. In this research\, we identify those design factors that influence safety and efficiency through reduced clutter\, congestion\, and staff walking during surgery. A sample of video-taped surgeries from a large academic hospital were studied to understand the movement of surgical staff during surgery. All activities were coded based on location\, activity type\, and purpose\, and then simulation methodology was used to study the different activity types and movement patterns inside the room. Based on OR size\, OR shape\, operating table orientation\, workstation locations\, number of staff\, number of doors\, and surgery type\, we provided critical insight to OR managers and researchers as they determine recommendations for OR design elements and inform the design of future operating rooms.\n\nKevin M. Taaffe\, Ph.D.\, the Harriet and Jerry Dempsey Professor in Industrial Engineering at Clemson University\, has 25 years of industry and academic experience. After receiving B.S. and M.S. degrees in Industrial Engineering from the University of Illinois\, Dr. Taaffe worked in the transportation logistics industry (American Airlines\, Sabre) for eight years\, before returning to academia to obtain his Ph.D. from the University of Florida. Dr. Taaffe’s research interests include the application of simulation and optimization in healthcare\, production\, and transportation logistics. In particular\, Dr. Taaffe focuses on healthcare logistics problems that range from patient flow to operating room management to clinical space capacity management. Dr. Taaffe has worked with clinicians\, administrators\, managers\, and support staff to identify and solve problems related to the patient and staff experience on the day of surgery. Dr. Taaffe began his career working as a transportation planning consultant\, and there is a logical research thrust that has resulted from this experience. He has always enjoyed working on industry-sponsored projects that bridge the gap between theoretical research and application. This academic/industry collaboration is a theme of Dr. Taaffe’s interest\, as can be seen by his named professorship. Harriet and Jerry Dempsey provided this professorship in an effort to strengthen the research ties between Clemson University and Prisma Health – Upstate.  In addition to his academic and research interests\, Dr. Taaffe plays an important role in the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) where he serves as the Senior VP of North American Operations. In this role\, he is helping students and professionals get the most out of their professional organization.

We remember countless facts about the world (e.g.\, birds have wings\, 2+2=4\, there are 26 letters in the alphabet) as well specific information about our own lives (e.g.\, what we had for lunch\, where we went for our last vacation\, our first kiss). How does that work? How do we store information away into memory and then retrieve exactly the information we need minutes\, days\, or even years later? Conversely\, why do we so often forget someone’s name or where we put our keys? And perhaps most importantly\, is there anything we can do to improve our memory and keep it sharp? In this talk\, we’ll dive into the psychological and neural mechanisms that underlie our amazing ability to remember. And we’ll also discuss ways to maximize our memory by applying techniques that have been scientifically demonstrated to improve retention. \n\nBio: Professor Thad A. Polk is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Associate Chair in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan. His research combines functional imaging of the human brain with computational modeling and behavioral methods to investigate the neural architecture underlying cognition. Some of his major projects have investigated changes in neural representations as we age\, contributions of nature versus nurture to neural organization and differences in the brains of smokers who quit compared with those who do not. Dr. Polk has taught well over 6\,000 UM students over the past 20 years and has developed three neuroscience courses aimed at the general public for The Great Courses (The Addictive Brain\, The Aging Brain\, The Learning Brain). In 2012 Princeton Review included him on its list of the Best 300 Professors in the U.S. UID:64329-16316438@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64329 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Psychology,Talk LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Ann Arbor Public Library Multi-purpose Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190731T161404 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190923T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Justin Townes Earle DESCRIPTION:Justin Townes Earle has done a lot of living in his 37 years. For starters\, there’s the quick-hit bullet points about his childhood that seem to get dredged up in every interview\, article or review about the singer-songwriter and guitarist: Born the son of Steve Earle\, who was largely absent during Justin’s childhood\; struggles from a young age with addiction and numerous stints in rehab\; long stretches of itinerancy and general juvenile delinquency\; a youth he once said he was “lucky to have gotten out of alive.”\n\nThat’s before we get to the years spent honing his craft in Nashville bars and on club stages all over the world\; the various bands\, record labels and industry types that have been drawn toward and\, at times\, pushed away by him\; and\, finally\, the celebrated and rather formidable body of work he has amassed since releasing his critically-acclaimed 2007 debut EP\, Yuma.\n\nIt’s a seemingly bottomless well of material for a singer-songwriter to mine out of just three decades or so of life. And Earle at times has—most recently on his 2017 album\, Kids in the Street\, which the artist calls “one of the more personal records I’ve ever made.”\n\nBut when it came to his newest effort\, The Saint of Lost Causes\, Earle\, these days sober\, married and father to a baby girl\, chose to focus his gaze outward. “Maybe having a kid has made me look at the world around me more\,” he says.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

West of the University Of Michigan's Program in Survey Methodology\, as he conducts a half-day workshop titled \"Design-Based Analysis of Survey Data\". This workshop is designed for survey data analysts of all skill levels\, and will present theoretically appropriate methods of analyzing survey data collected from complex sample designs. Dr. West will also present the implications of incorrect analyses based on his research findings from a meta-analysis of analytic error\, while also providing examples of proper design-based data analysis techniques using SAS and Stata. As always\, this workshop is free and open to the public.\n\nTopics include:\n\n• Overview of theoretically appropriate design-based analysis of survey data collected from complex samples\n\n• Case studies in analytic error (including findings from a meta-analysis of recent scientific publications)\, and the implications of using incorrect analysis methods\n\n• Appropriate use of survey weights and design-based methods of variance estimation for population inference related to descriptive parameters and regression models\n\n• Examples of proper design-based data analysis techniques using SAS and Stata (attendees are also welcome to ask about similar methods in other software packages)\n\nBIO:\n\nDr. West's current research interests include the implications of measurement error in auxiliary variables and survey paradata for survey estimation\, survey nonresponse\, interviewer variance\, and multilevel regression models for clustered and longitudinal data.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059354@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190924T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190924T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

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.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\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:63803-15884069@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820741@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190917T135906 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190924T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190924T150000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Chewy Career Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Career Day for Chewy on Tuesday\, September 24\, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.\n\nAbout Chewy:\nAs one of the fastest growing e-commerce retailers of all time\, Chewy is revolutionizing the pet industry.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

But it remains unclear how to leverage this data for effective intervention in medical and agricultural applications. We do not know which quantities can be reliably predicted\, which are hopelessly contingent\, and what the predictors are for the former. In this talk\, I will draw on conceptual tools from Statistical Physics\, which were designed to answer precisely these sorts of questions. In particular\, I will argue that the key features of community structure are encoded in a susceptibility matrix\, which contain the response of species population sizes to small changes in growth rates. I will show how to estimate this matrix in different scenarios from existing data sets\, and then explain how it can be used to cluster species into functionally redundant groups for enhanced predictability of community composition.

Over the last decades\, research has heavily focused on the psychological underpinnings of human cooperation as well as their phylogenetic origins. One central approach in this regard has been to study chimpanzees\, one of our two closest evolutionary relatives. Numerous findings have led to the view that\, compared to humans\, chimpanzees are substantially less willing to provide material benefits to conspecifics (especially when this comes at a personal cost) and largely do not take others’ mental states into account for cooperative purposes. In my talk\, I will present a series of experimental studies that offer two amendments to this view. Unlike previously assumed\, chimpanzees do seem motivated to benefit others materially but only after receiving their assistance. Moreover\, chimpanzees do show the ability to adjust their actions in response to others’ mental states in the context of mutualistic cooperation. Together\, these findings provide a better understanding of the similarities and differences between the psychological mechanisms underlying chimpanzee and human cooperation.

However\, as our methods for exploring the deep ocean improve\, common assumptions about dispersal\, reproduction and behavior are constantly being challenged. With the immense amount of data collected and stored in natural history collections to highlight historical distributions of fishes we can now use these data in concert with modern sampling methods like remote operated vehicles (ROVs) and precision netting to learn more about one of the planets most extreme systems. Join Randy as he takes you on a journey from the highest shelves of museum collections to the extreme depths of the ocean in a quest to learn more about fishes\, and where to find them.

AVS is currently treated exclusively with valve replacement surgeries\, which may be avoided if effective small molecule therapeutics could be identified to slow or reverse AVS progression. During AVS progression\, a large fraction of valvular interstitial cells (VICs) differentiate into pathogenically activated myofibroblasts\, which contribute to excessive matrix deposition and eventual valve leaflet stiffening. Effective small molecule therapeutics intended to reverse myofibroblast activation remain elusive\, owing to the inherent heterogeneity of the cellular microenvironment from patient to patient. For example\, male patients show increased calcification and female patients show increased tissue fibrosis in the aortic valve microenvironment\, leading to differential drug responses. Considering these clinical observations\, we seek to engineer precision biomaterial microenvironments to recapitulate sex- and patient-specific AVS progression in vitro and identify molecular mechanisms that mediate reversal of myofibroblast activation. Precision biomaterials are defined here as engineered environments that enable the evaluation of how sex- and/or patient-specific variables may influence disease progression. As a strategy to evaluate molecular mechanisms guiding AVS progression\, we utilize poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels as precision in vitro platforms to probe various biochemical and mechanical cues that activate male and female VICs to a myofibroblast state\, as well as cues that reverse activation (Fig. 1A). My talk will focus on two vignettes where PEG hydrogels were used to evaluate how male and female VICs activate to and reverse from a myofibroblast state in response to different cues\, including (1) serum factors from AVS patients before and after a valve replacement procedure and (2) small molecule inhibitors of myofibroblast activation. Collectively\, our work demonstrates how engineered hydrogel matrices enable an increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms guiding myofibroblast activation and reversal\, which may provide a critical bridge toward sex- and patient-specific small molecule AVS therapies. \n\nSHORT BIO\n\nDr. Brian Aguado is currently an NIH K99 and Burroughs Wellcome Fund postdoctoral fellow at the University of Colorado.

High conductivity material s such as carbon nanotube forests are useful as thermal interface materials (TIMs) for dissipating power in electronic devices\, while low conductivity material s like nanoporous silicon for thermal barrier coatings and enhanced thermoelectric performance. Beyond thermal transport\, storage of thermal energy is critical for effective heat removal for applications involving\nhighly-transient heat fluxes\, and during material processing. Often to achieve the desired functionality\, multiples material s are combined together to form heterogeneous composites. For example\, in lithium-ion batteries\, the particulate active material s (with micro- and nano-scale features) are sandwiched between metal electrodes and polymer-based separators with microscale thicknesses to form macroscale battery cells. This seminar will discuss methods to understand and\ncontrol thermal transport and development of accurate and reliable experimental and analytical techniques for thermal characterization across multiple length scales. Further\, I will highlight the integration of material synthesis with thermal property measurements and physics-based analysis to provide new avenues for improved material s and device performance.\n\nBio\nAmy Marconnet i s an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. She received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wi Wisconsin – Madison in 2007\, and an M.S. and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University in 2009 and 2012\, respectively. She then worked briefly as a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining the faculty at Purdue University in 2013. Research in the Marconnet Thermal and\nEnergy Conversion (MTEC) Lab integrates metrology and analysis of underlying transport mechanisms with design and development of nanostructured material s for heat transfer and energy conversion applications.

Interview Preparation Workshop - Hosted by ECRC and Rockwell Automation DESCRIPTION:In career services\, there is a saying: the resume gets you the interview\, and the interview gets you the job. Developing excellent interview skills is essential to conducting a successful job search. This workshop will provide an overview of several different types of interviews and how to best prepare for each\, including behavioral\, technical\, case\, and phone/Skype interviews. We will review strategies for answering interview questions\, such as the STAR format\, and discuss what to emphasize when answering interview questions. Preparing for common interview questions is only one part of the process - learn what to wear and bring to an interview and how to follow up with an employer after the interview. Come learn how to ace the interview!\n\nThis is a College of Engineering event.\n\nNOTE: Space at this workshop is available on a first to arrive basis. Please plan to arrive early to ensure a seat.

When people gather to share their voices\, they both claim a public role and re-center narratives to include their experiences and their perspectives. Understood in this way\, such expressivities are key to building and nurturing fluid social relationships. This presentation focuses on the role of heungeulsori (murmuring sound)\, an individualistic and improvisatory expression of female desire and angst\, in both private and public realms. In Korea\, heungeulsori historically has served as an emotional outlet for women\, and these murmurs were often an indirect communication\, uttered on the periphery in either hopes the message could be received or\, at least\, released onto the air. Here\, I examine diverse contexts for the performance of heungeulsori and consider the ways by which performers evoke individual\, community and regional identities through pointed use of melodic and narrative tropes. By examining public presentations of a once-private form of female articulation\, the presentation touches on the ways by which concepts of genre and related expressivities transform in accordance with societal transformations and the human relationships therein. The solo voice does not act as an anomaly\, despite its power in redirecting narrative. Rather\, it engages with pre-existing social structures\, reinforcing values of social place and function alongside those of aesthetic expressions tied to women’s roles in Korean society.\n\nHilary Vanessa Finchum-Sung (Ph.D. Indiana University) is currently the Executive Director of the Association for Asian Studies. She formally served as Dean of Student Affairs at Seoul National University's College of Music and Associate Professor of Theory and Ethnomusicology in the Department of Korean Music at Seoul National University (2009-2019). In addition\, Finchum formerly taught in the MA in Asia Pacific Studies Program at University of San Francisco and served as an administrator and researcher at UC Berkeley's Institute of East Asian Studies.She is a Korean music specialist with research interests in sustainable practice in traditional Korean music performance\, musical genealogies\, gender roles and performance\, and emotion embodied through sound. Finchum has published in academic journals such as Ethnomusicology\, the world of music (new series)\, Acta Koreana and Seoul Journal of Korean Studies\, as well as contributed entries to publications such as The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Music and Culture (2019) and numerous edited volumes. She has presented papers at international conferences in the US\, Canada\, China\, Japan\, Egypt\, England and Korea as well as lectures and workshops on Korean music for organizations such as the National Gugak Center\, The National Theatre of Korea\, Korea Foundation\, UNESCO and the Asia Society of New York. In avid pursuit of musicianship\, she regularly practices and performs on the two-string spike fiddle\, haegeum.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

In bright voices and natural harmonies shaped by the unique environment of the area\, the Dong people of Guizhou\, China sing about nature\, romantic love\, history and moral values. For the Dong people\, Grand Song is an indispensable part of life\, just as their saying goes\, “rice feeds the body–but songs feed the soul”. The Dong people transmit much of their history\, culture and knowledge through songs that accompany them throughout their lives. Choirs of children\, young and senior people are formed in every village\, representing a crucial symbol of Dong ethnic identity and cultural heritage.\n\nThe Yandong Grand Singers is a choir formed by farmers from Yandong Village\, specializing in the “Grand Song” of the Dong people - polyphonic music known to the world only in recent decades. The repertoire includes a range of genres such as ballads\, children’s songs\, songs of greeting and imitative songs that test performers’ virtuosity at mimicking the sounds of animals. Taught by masters to choirs of disciples\, Grand Songs are performed formally in the drum-tower\, the landmark venue for rituals\, entertainment and meetings in a Dong village\, or more spontaneously in homes or public places. In 2009\, the Dong musical tradition was listed by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage in China. This will mark the group’s first full US tour\, having previously appeared at Carnegie Hall China Festival and the International International Festival for Vocal Music in Leipzig\, Germany.\n\nCWPS events are free and open to the public.

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059355@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190731T110724 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T094500 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:IT4U Webinar: Sharing & Storing Data in U-M Google and Box DESCRIPTION:Madi Atkins (ITS) offers best practices for sharing and storing data in U-M Google and Box\, including U-M Google shared drives\, shared accounts with U-M Box\, and more.

It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N.

Much has been said regarding these refugees\, but all too often the voices of refugees themselves are left out of the conversation.\n\nThis exhibit uses the data collected from a Photovoice project\, combining photography and transcriptions from groups discussions with adolescent refugees to better understand the lived experiences of adolescent refugees. The gallery highlights five main themes that were discussed: Stability and Security\, Interpersonal Difficulties\, Rooting Factors\, Personal Growth\, and Contribution.\n\n“I wish I could help out people… Imma give them everything.

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.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\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:63803-15884070@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820742@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind.

The driving force behind these costs is the inefficiency of the Monte-Carlo phase space generators and the unweighting efficiencies.\nAfter a short review of traditional algorithms\, I will introduce a new Machine Learning algorithm that uses Normalizing Flows for efficient numerical integration and random sampling. This approach is especially efficient in high-dimensional integration spaces. I will show some preliminary results obtained with the matrix element generator of Sherpa and discuss different choices of hyperparameters and their influence on the result.

However\, paradata are often underutilized. This study suggests a novel approach to use paradata to alter the survey itself in real time in order to improve data quality.\n\nThrough a predictive model\, paradata about the responses will be utilized to alter the presentation of the survey questions themselves. First\, if respondents straight-line through a grid section of the survey\, following grids could be changed to single item questions in order to discourage straight-lining. Second\, if respondents display multiple indicators of poor data quality\, key questions could be moved forward in the survey to present earlier. This second option reduces survey length\, lowers cognitive burden for respondents that are taking short cuts\, and prevents drop-offs. Both of these techniques could help to improve data quality.\n\nThough programming a survey to adapt in real time may involve a large effort in the beginning\, once employed it could be used across projects for little additional cost. Improving data quality should be a goal of everyone in the survey research community. As web surveys continue to increase in frequency of implementation\, the focus on data quality of this mode should be a priority.

Across two experiments\, we investigated conditions under which signaling personal relevance\, via targeting information to audiences based on identities\, backfires. In particular\, we assessed how activation of personal characteristics (e.g.\, identities\, health goals\, and both identities and goals)\, as well as context cues (e.g.\, time of year)\, impact persuasion. Because people with higher body mass indexes (BMIs) are frequently targets of weight stigma\, particularly within health contexts\, we expected that perceiving relevance based on weight identities would elicit identity threat and subsequently inhibit persuasion for people with higher\, versus lower\, BMIs. Across studies\, participants were told they received information about obesity due to chance (control condition)\, or after providing their demographics (e.g.\, weight status\; Studies 1–2)\, health goals (Study 2)\, or demographics and goals (Study 2). Findings revealed that\, particularly for participants with higher BMIs\, being targeted to receive information about obesity and obesity-related illness increased perceived relevance among recipients\, which predicted increases in irritation and self-conscious emotions. Negative emotional responding produced heterogenous\, but primarily deleterious\, effects on self-efficacy and behavioral intentions to engage in healthy behavior because recipients felt unfairly judged (Study 2). Study 2 determined that targeting on goals and changes in context (e.g.\, stronger beliefs that change is possible at New Year's) decreased the link between perceived relevance and feeling judged. Collectively\, this work shows that leveraging message relevance may inhibit persuasion for target audiences when they feel unfairly judged.

Metin Aktulga: Towards Fast\, Scalable and High Fidelity Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Reactive molecular dynamics (RMD) models bridge quantum-scale and classical MD approaches by explicitly modeling bond activity and redistribution of charges. As such they enable the study of important phenomena which otherwise is impractical using classical or quantum techniques. However\, RMD models have a significantly complex formulation\, making fast\, scalable and high fidelity RMD simulations extremely challenging to achieve. In this talk\, I will present our work towards addressing both the scalability and fidelity challenges. I will start by describing the parallel algorithms and numerical techniques that we developed for a fast implementation of the Reax Force Field (ReaxFF)\, which is used by hundreds of researchers worldwide. Particular emphasis will be on novel solvers we recently developed for the dynamic charge distribution problem that constitutes the most important scalability bottleneck in large RMD simulations. I will conclude the talk by outlining our efforts towards addressing the fidelity challenge\, i) through an automated force field framework for RMD models\, ii) by developing a novel hybrid ReaxFF/AMBER simulation software in the spirit of QM/MM techniques.\n\nBio: H.

While some students embrace this diversity in courses and disciplinary perspectives\, many struggle with how to translate these experiences into career opportunities. BME students are often concerned that they are perceived as a “jack of all trades\, masters of none.” In 2016\, the BME Department sought to find new ways to integrate BME professional practice into the curriculum. \n\nInformed by organizational change theory\, we asked: 1) Is there potential for change\; 2) what strategies facilitate change\; and 3) how can these strategies be implemented? As a result\, we developed an Instructional Design Sequence\, a new approach to instruction in which students\, post docs\, and faculty create short modules that use evidence-based teaching practices to expose BME students to BME professional practice. \n\nThis presentation describes how the Instructional Design Sequence was conceived and demonstrates how theory can be used to inform practice. The resultant Sequence is a transferrable model for transforming engineering education\, offering a mechanism for integrating new career-relevant curriculum into undergraduate curriculum\, while training future educators in evidence-based instructional practices.

Following the screening\, Medhin Paolos will join a Q&A with students and faculty members\, discuss her professional trajectories\, their motivation\, the filmmaking process\, its reception and other related issues.\n\nOf Eritrean origin\, Medhin Paolos is an Italian filmmaker\, photographer\, electronic musician and social justice activist. She is currently an Associate Fellow in Latino/a Studies at the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at Harvard University. Her first film Asmarina (2015)\, which she co-directed with Alan Maglio\, narrates the presence of the habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) community in the city of Milan through the collective memories of the community recorded in personal archives through photo documents\, music and stories\, exploring the different shades of identity\, migration and the aspirations of the African people. In contrast to media narratives that portray African immigration to Italy as a recent phenomenon\, Asmarina offers another vision of the African diaspora in Italy\, one that demonstrates the long-standing presence of Eritrean and Ethiopian communities\, as well as their contributions to the development of Italian postwar national identity. Asmarina is also study of contemporary Italy\, currently dealing with a rise in xenophobic attacks against African migrants\, ongoing migrant catastrophes in the Mediterranean\, and the struggle of second-generation Italians of African descent to gain full citizenship rights. \n\nMedhin Paolos holds a BFA from NABA-Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan. For ten years (1999-2009)\, she was part of the folk-electronic band Fiamma Fumana. Paolos is the co-founder of the Milano chapter of Rete G2 (Second Generation Network)\, a national organization that promotes the human and civic rights of children of immigrants in Italy. Currently\, she is conceptualizing an educational platform for bringing forth a plurality voices\, histories\, and cultures to the forefront through media artistic interventions.

As we develop means to control the properties of light\, matter and their interactions\, intriguing new phenomena emerge. Using a designer polariton platform we have developed\, we reveal a long sought after Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer like phase in a particle-hole-photon strongly-coupled system. Coupling two trapped polariton condensates through both coherent tunneling and incoherent dissipation\, we form a model system of rich nonlinear dynamics where new\, equidistant frequency lines emerge via the limit cycles at Hopft bifurcation. Using two-dimensional monolayer crystals with exceptionally strong light-matter interactions\, we control the exciton-photon interactions from the incoherent limit to the coherent limit with simple mirrors and laser pulses\, showing the promise of the system for photonic applications based on coherent light-matter interactions. Combining different monolayers to form atomically-thin heterostructures\, we obtain a platform that allows versatile control over both the photon modes and matter excitations\, where we create long-lived valley excitons\, ultra-thin lasers\, and moire-lattice induced hybrid dipolar excitons and polaritons. \n UID:65280-16565499@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65280 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191010T123041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190925T164500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Explore Apple Retail.

Assuming desired coordination of an unmanned aerial system (UAS) team is the solution of Laplace equation\, Lagrangian and Eulerian continuum mechanics will be applied to safely plan UAS coordination in a finite airspace. The Lagrangian continuum mechanics is used to manage large-scale coordination of a UAS team in a cluttered environment when the total number of agents is fixed. In this context\, we optimize a large-scale continuum deformation coordination\, and formally specify and verify collision-free collective motion with minimal communication and computation overhead\, enabling distance between individual UAVs to significantly change while assuring the vehicles do not collide. Furthermore\, the Eulerian continuum mechanics can be applied to achieve freely scalable coordination and manage traffic coordination in a finite airspace. Using the Eulerian description of continuum mechanics\, the space and time allocated to an individual UAS can be effectively managed and the airspace capacity can be maximized through controlling UAS inflow and outflow at the airspace boundaries with minimum computation overhead. In particular\, the airspace can be classified into planned and unplanned spaces by dynamically updating planned-unplanned airspace boundaries while nominal coordination is obtained as the solution of a governing PDE with spatiotemporal cyber-physical parameters. The unifying nature of Laplace equation and its application to Aerospace control problems will also be highlighted.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nDr. Hossein Rastgoftar is an Assistant Research Scientist in the Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. Prior to that he was a postdoctoral researcher with Professor Ella Atkins at the University of Michigan from 2015-2017. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University in 2015. Hossein has two MS degrees (one in Mechanical Systems and the other in Solid Mechanics) and a BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering-Thermo-Fluids. Dr. Rastgoftar has worked on decision-making\, optimization\, large-scale UAS coordination\, traffic control\, and autonomy over the past four years at the University of Michigan\, and has published several archival journal papers and peer-reviewed conference papers. He is the sole author of the book “Continuum Deformation of Multi-Agent System” published by Springer-Birkhauser (https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319415932).

The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time.

However\, this strategy can succeed only if the synthetic chromosomes are faithfully transmitted to each daughter cell upon cell division. Eukaryotic cells use the kinetochore\, an immensely complex protein machine\, to segregate their native chromosome during cell division. We are initiating an effort to engineer a synthetic kinetochore to faithfully segregate synthetic chromosomes. This ambitious goal encompasses three aims. First\, we will use bottom-up reverse engineering to yield deep insight into function and regulation of the kinetochore\, potentially exposing unexpected gaps in our understanding. Second\, we will identify functionally necessary kinetochore components from those that are its ‘evolutionary legacy’. This is necessary to reveal strategies for simplifying the design of the synthetic kinetochore. Third\, we will establish the blueprint for designing a synthetic\, orthogonal segregation machine that specifically controls the inheritance of synthetic chromosomes.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059356@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Refreshments will be served. \n\nCindy Sowers received her B.A. from Oakland University\, her M.A. from University of Michigan in Comparative Literature\, and her Ph.D. also from the University of Michigan in Comparative Literature. During her Masters program in 1973\, she started teaching at the Residential College in the First Year Seminar and French programs. Her dissertation\, The Shared Structure of Craft and Song: A Study of Homer’s Narrative Art\, revealed passions for narrative and visual analysis comparatively understood that would characterize her teaching thereafter. She participated in an interdisciplinary group composed of Residential College humanities and fine arts faculty who together constructed the Arts and Ideas in the Humanities concentration. Cindy's recent course offerings have included critical approaches to the literature and visual arts of classic modernism\, postmodernism\, Shakespeare and Rome\, the heritage of Greece\, the psychoanalytic interpretation of the arts\, and many others. She combines analyses of literary texts\, visual arts\, and philosophy to hone in on the animating spirit of a cultural moment and space. She has presented at the Royal Shakespeare Company's 2006 U-M residency\, as part of the RC Faculty Colloquium\, for the LSA Comparative Literature and the Colloquium on Critical Theory sponsored by the LSA Department of English Language and Literature\, and at the Residential College's 50th Anniversary celebration.

South Africa’s first racially inclusive election on April 26\, 1994 literally and symbolically marked this legal ending\, after four years of tense and at times violent negotiations between the leaders of Apartheid South Africa and those of the antiapartheid movements. \n\nHowever\, 25 years after this hopeful and euphoric historical moment the dead are still being counted\, the transmutation of formal apartheid into social and economic apartheid is all but complete and the legacy of Apartheid’s crimes endure – threatening the very dream of Nelson Mandela’s vision for a nonracial\, nonsexist\, equal and just political system in South Africa. This lecture will critically engage the political\, legal and moral failures of state responsibilities to international humanitarian and human rights law and the state’s political\, legal and moral management of the freedom moment.\n\nYazier Henry teaches at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. He is a public intellectual\, strategist\, conflict management expert\, teacher\, facilitator\, scholar\, professional human rights advocate\, and poet. His research and writing priorities focus on the interrelationship and intersections of structural\, systemic\, institutional\, and administrative violence. He is particularly interested in the politics and economics of human rights and the social violence of the law. His current work is on how state violence becomes systemically structured and institutionalized during political transitions in the global south.\n\nThis is the third in a six-lecture series. The subject is South Africa: Past\, Present\, and a Look Forward. The next lecture will be October 3\, 2019. The title is: Education Inequality and Income Inequality in South Africa since the End of Apartheid.

She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature.

Much has been said regarding these refugees\, but all too often the voices of refugees themselves are left out of the conversation.\n\nThis exhibit uses the data collected from a Photovoice project\, combining photography and transcriptions from groups discussions with adolescent refugees to better understand the lived experiences of adolescent refugees. The gallery highlights five main themes that were discussed: Stability and Security\, Interpersonal Difficulties\, Rooting Factors\, Personal Growth\, and Contribution.\n\n“I wish I could help out people… Imma give them everything.

It will engage the anti-normative forms of living Blackness has enabled. Given these histories and contemporary articulations\, it asks: Who can claim Blackness? Under what conditions and with what effect can one make this claim? To what extent does claiming Blackness lead to social change? What are the conditions for coalition around claiming Blackness? Does racism persist\, even amongst people of color\, in spite of this coalitional claim?\n\nThe symposium is free and open to the public and will include a special screening of the documentary Whose Streets? (2018) and the short What Kind of Power Y’All Got (2016) with a Q&A with the filmmakers to follow in Lecture Hall II of the Modern Language Building on Friday\, September 27 at 7 PM.\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Damani Partridge (djpartri@umich.edu)\n\nView the schedule online: myumi.ch/zxKNx UID:66703-16915706@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66703 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:african diaspora,African Studies,Anthropology,Film,immigration,Multicultural,Multidisciplinary Design LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics?

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\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:63803-15884071@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820743@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times\, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality\, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The purchase was made possible thanks to the generosity of UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee.\n\nThis acquisition was made possible by the generosity of the UMMA Director's Acquisition Committee\, 2016.

Gallimore\, Co-Chair\nAssistant Professor Benjamin A. Jorns\, Co-Chair\nProfessor John E. Foster\, Cognate\nDr. Richard R. Hofer\, Member\n\nPresentation Info:\n\nThursday\, September 26th 2 PM\nJohnsons Room\, LEC\n\nThis work examines two innovative technologies in high-power electric propulsion – magnetic shielding and nesting channels. Magnetic shielding increases the lifetime of Hall thrusters by three orders of magnitude\, while nested Hall thrusters allow these devices to be scaled to the very high powers necessary for Mars missions. Despite these advancements\, there remain open questions about the exact implications on Hall thruster operation. These open questions pose large risks for transitioning the thrusters to flight. One of the most critical is how neutral gas particles emanating from various sources influence the overall performance and lifetime of these thrusters. There exist several sources of neutrals such as the background facility pressure\, the cathode\, and adjacent channels on nested Hall thrusters. As such\, we investigate here the neutral density impacts on the operation of high-power Hall thrusters. In summary\, we show that neutrals shift and compress the plasma\, which leads to an increase thrust and efficiency with higher neutral density. Additionally\, we find that these neutrals can change the near-wall ion behavior\, which affects the erosion and overall lifetime. Ultimately\, we have improved our understanding of the mechanisms behind neutral impacts on the performance and lifetime of magnetically shielded and nested Hall thrusters.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nThe seminar will be followed by a reception in the IOE Commons (Room 1709) from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.\n\nTitle:\nReference Pricing for Healthcare Services\n\nAbstract:\nThe traditional payment system between an insurer and providers does not incentivize providers to limit their prices nor patients to choose less expensive providers\, hence contributing to high insurer expenditures. Reference pricing has been proposed as a way to better align incentives and control the rising costs of healthcare. In this payment system\, the insurer determines the maximum amount that can be reimbursed for a procedure (reference price). If a patient selects a provider charging more than the reference price\, the patient is responsible for the entire portion above it. We propose a model to analyze the reference pricing payment scheme. Our model incorporates an insurer who chooses the reference price\, multiple competing price-setting providers\, and heterogeneous patients who select a provider based on a multinomial logit choice model. Our goal is to understand how reference pricing compares with payment systems where patients pay a fixed or a variable amount. We find that the highest-priced providers under a fixed payment system cut their prices under reference pricing. Moreover\, reference pricing often outperforms the fixed and the variable payment system both in terms of expected patient utility and insurer cost\, unless the procedure cost is high in relation to the reference price (i.e.\, the reference price is low). The entire system also benefits from reference pricing despite a loss in provider profit due to lower prices. Furthermore\, reference pricing with a variable portion below the reference price tends to perform worse than reference pricing with a fixed payment below the reference price.\n\nBio:\nDr. Shima Nassiri is an assistant professor of technology and operations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Her research interests involve (a) designing coordination mechanisms in supply chain and its applications in healthcare and public health policy using game theory and optimization techniques\, and (b) studying the behavioral aspects of healthcare operations using econometrics and data-driven methods. She is particularly interested in studying the healthcare policies that are aiming to reduce healthcare expenditure by moving towards performance-based care. She received her Ph.D. from the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington.

A follow-on to the still-active OCO-2 mission\, OCO-3 will bring not only a new vantage point but new techniques and new technologies to NASA's carbon dioxide observations. OCO-3 is a 3-band grating spectrometer that measures sunlight reflected from Earth’s surface\, and it can make extremely precise measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide\, sensing changes of less than 1ppm (relative to today’s concentrations that are about 400ppm). The space station circles Earth from 52 degrees north to 52 degrees south latitudes — about the latitudes of London and Patagonia. The vast majority of Earth's cities and agricultural lands\, responsible for most of our planet's carbon absorption and emissions\, fall within this zone. Where OCO-2's polar orbit takes it over each location at exactly the same time of day\, the space station's orbit will put OCO-3 over each location at a slightly different time on every orbit. OCO-3 will demonstrate a new technique to measure urban carbon emissions\, volcanic eruptions and other local carbon sources from space. This scanning technique\, enabled by the instrument's ability to swivel and point rapidly\, produces a tightly woven blanket of measurements over an area of about 50 by 50 miles (80 by 80 kilometers) — about the size of the Los Angeles Basin.\nAnnmarie Eldering\, the Project Scientist for OCO-3 will share some of the latest news and data from OCO-3\, as well as the goals for the three year measurement campaign from the ISS.

Finding the South in the Global South DESCRIPTION:Is there such a thing as ‘world literature from the global south’? Perhaps the strongest conjunction between the theories of the global south and world literature is the interest in the political scope of literature. How can we imagine a literary canon that consolidates or prompts modes of political action\, thereby bringing the political imperatives of the south or of regionalism to bear on the global scope of world literature? It sounds like a great deal of detective work. As such\, this talk will present the case of uncanny affiliation between detective fiction north and south of the Mediterranean\, starting from Sicily and Alexandria going via Paris\, Liège and mediaeval Arabia. Whodunit? Everybody. That is what world literature means. But why? That is the imperative of the global south.\n\nThis event is made possible by the Andrew W.

Yet\, as Artemis Leontis reveals\, Palmer’s most spectacular performance was her daily revival of ancient Greek life. For almost half a century\, dressed in handmade Greek tunics and sandals\, she sought to make modern life freer and more beautiful through a creative engagement with the ancients. Along the way\, she crossed paths with other seminal modern artists such as Natalie Clifford Barney\, Renée Vivien\, Isadora Duncan\, Susan Glaspell\, George Cram Cook\, Richard Strauss\, Dimitri Mitropoulos\, Nikos Kazantzakis\, George Seferis\, Henry Miller\, Paul Robeson\, and Ted Shawn.\n\nBrilliant and gorgeous\, with floor-length auburn hair\, Palmer was a wealthy New York debutante who studied Greek at Bryn Mawr College before turning her back on conventional society to live a lesbian life in Paris. She later followed Raymond Duncan (brother of Isadora) and his wife to Greece and married the Greek poet Angelos Sikelianos in 1907. With single-minded purpose\, Palmer re-created ancient art forms\, staging Greek tragedy with her own choreography\, costumes\, and even music. Having exhausted her inheritance\, she returned to the United States in 1933\, was blacklisted for criticizing American imperialism during the Cold War\, and was barred from returning to Greece until just before her death.\n\nDrawing on hundreds of newly discovered letters and featuring many previously unpublished photographs\, this biography vividly re-creates the unforgettable story of a remarkable nonconformist whom one contemporary described as “the only ancient Greek I ever knew.” UID:65991-16678394@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65991 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Discussion,Film,History,Lecture,Women's Studies LOCATION:202 S.

During implantation\, inflammatory pathways are activated and important for successful implantation\, but during the second trimester\, intrauterine inflammation is a grave threat to the continuation of pregnancy. An investigation of the gene expression changes during opossum pregnancy led us to propose and test a model for the origin of eutherian implantation and pregnancy. In brief: if we take the opossum gestation as a model of the situation at the most recent common ancestor of marsupials and placental mammals\, the evidence suggests that an acute inflammation is the result of the attachment of the trophoblast to the uterine epithelium. The difference between opossum and the eutherians is the outcome: In opossum the inflammation directly leads to parturition\, while in eutherians inflammation never leads to neutrophil infiltration and soon is turned off. I will present evidence suggesting that one key innovation to achieve sustainable implantation was the origin of the decidual cell\, which prevents the recruitment of neutrophils and thus prevents the development of an acute inflammation during implantation.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/cec0A_iwmLI UID:65469-16603596@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65469 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190903T133037 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190926T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Hub Studio - Career Fair Prep DESCRIPTION:Planning to attend a career fair this fall?

Battle Scars: The Middle East After the Arab Uprisings DESCRIPTION:Eight years after the dizzying hopes raised by the Arab Spring\, the Middle East is consumed by a bewildering array of conflicts\, from wars in Libya\, Yemen\, Syria and Iraq to new popular uprisings in Algeria and Sudan. What explains these interlocking conflicts—and where does the United States fit in? And how does it all relate to Iran's escalating conflict with America\, Israel\, and Saudi Arabia? Lynch will explain how the Arab Spring fundamentally upended regional order in the Middle East\, and how difficult it will be to put any new stable order back into place.\n \n Marc Lynch is Professor of Political Science at The George Washington University. He is the director of the Project on Middle East Political Science (POMEPS)\, Associate Editor of The Monkey Cage at the Washington Post\, and a Non-Resident Senior Associate at the Carnegie Middle East Program.

In Occupation Series\, Mahama focused on the jute sacks that are synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works. Fabricated in Southeast Asia\, the sacks are imported by the Ghana Cocoa Boards to transport cocoa beans and eventually end up as multi-functional objects\, used for the transportation of food\, charcoal\, and other commodities. Often exploring the potentialities and failures of modernity\, Mahama’s work uses materials and forms that present us with alternative perspectives through which to view the conditions of contemporary society\, labor\, and the “politics of the hand.” His most recent work\, A Straight Line Through the Carcass of History\, has also dealt with forms related to the second world war and bacteria life. Mahama obtained an MFA in painting and sculpture in 2013 and a BFA in painting in 2010 at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi\, Ghana. His work has been included in the 56th and 57th Venice Biennale\, and has been exhibited internationally. He was an artist-in-residence with the Berliner Künstlerprogramm in 2018.\n\n Co-presented with the Institute for the Humanities.

In fact\, baths were so valued that their patronage became a powerful public relations tool and greatly enhanced one's popular and political clout. It is hardly surprising\, then\, that as a spectacular gift to the people\, the emperors commissioned eight magnificent baths in the city of Rome between 25 BCE - 337 CE. This lecture brings the lived and visual experience of Roman baths into dialogue with the original appearance of these monuments\, while also addressing the underlying ambitions of imperial patrons.\n\nThis lecture analyzes the extensive decoration of the best preserved of these complexes\, the Baths of Caracalla (inaugurated 216 C.E.). This decoration was a carefully strategized ensemble\, meant to impart a particular message to a diverse Roman audience. I examine the subtext of this sumptuous display\, addressing the visual experience of the baths and elucidating the decoration's critical role in articulating innuendo and advancing imperial agendas. The case studies addressed herein\, ranging from architectural to freestanding sculpture and mosaic\, demonstrate that endowing monumental baths was a concern of dynastic legitimacy and imperial largess\, and that decorative programs articulated these themes by consistently drawing analogies between the subjects of the decoration and the emperor who had paid for it. Decorative choices were by no means incidental\, but rather purposeful decisions by Caracalla and his architect to honor the emperor and to consolidate his power and reputation.\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor Society of the Archaeological Institute of America\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the Kelsey Museum Education Office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible.

Each dinner is hosted by a local individual we believe can bring a lot to the metaphorical (and actual) table and free food is provided to all who attend. This dinner will feature food from Baba Dari Mediterranean Grill including Chicken Shawarma bowls\, Falafel bowls\, and Fattoush Salad\n\nThis month's host is Dominique Canning. Here's a little more about her:\nDominique is a Ph.D. candidate in Linguistics (with a focus on sociolinguistics and phonetics) and in her 4th year at the University of Michigan. She graduated in 2016 from Eastern Michigan University (EMU) where she was part of the McNair Scholars Program.\n\nDominique’s research is partially motivated by her own identity as a queer woman of color. She identifies as aromantic asexual and is frequently conscious of how she uses language to navigate through both academic and non-academic spaces. At EMU\, she researched the discussion around asexual inclusion in queer spaces online. Though she is not currently looking at asexuality specifically\, she looks at queerness and language in her current research. Most recently\, she examined the way language was used to construct Titus Andromedon's identity as a Black gay man in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. In her future research\, she plans to look at how queer people of color use language to construct their own identities in various spaces. \n\nAll dinners are hosted 5:30 to 7pm at 1443 Washtenaw. Reserve your spot at this dinner or any of the upcoming dinners at: http://bit.ly/QTIPOCfall2019\n\nSpectrum Center Accessibility Statement\nIf you have an accessibility need you feel may not be automatically met at this event\, fill out our Event Accommodation Form\, found at http://bit.ly/SCaccess.
