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.

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.

In Pen & Ink Queens\, Cavanagh draws inspiration from medieval and renaissance-era garments to adorn quirky\, queenly figures. Cavanagh works in a style that is hyper-detailed and intricate\, so she remains present during the creative process. A true Michigander\, Cavanagh was born and raised in Southeast Michigan\, attended U-M\, and currently works in Detroit. Cavanagh makes a concerted effort to exhibit as much as possible in her home state\, and when she is not in her studio\, you can find her cooking\, practicing yoga or playing with her cat\, Benji.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

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.

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.

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.

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? 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:63803-15884071@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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:63992-16059357@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:20190917T135529 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190927T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190927T130000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Henry Ford College Discover Days DESCRIPTION:Come visit the College of LSA from the University of Michigan's table at Henry Ford College on September 27th\, 2019!

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.

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:66703-16770289@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:Haven Hall - 5511 (Lemuel Johnson Center) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190923T145935 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190927T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190927T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Microeconomics/IO Seminar: Quantifying sources of persistent prescription behavior: Evidence from Belgium DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nHealth care policymakers often find it challenging to change physician behavior\, as it is highly persistent. Drivers of this persistence are not well understood\, but physicians and patients both play a role. I study the importance of both in the prescribing behavior of primary care physicians (PCPs) in Belgium. I exploit a mandate introduced in 2006 that required PCPs to prescribe a minimum percentage of cheap or generic drugs\, and analyze the change in PCP prescription habits using administrative data linking 26 million dispensed prescription drugs to 150\,000 patients and 45\,000 physicians. I find that PCPs exhibit a bias towards prescribing a brand name drug when an equally effective generic is available\, and adjust this behavior in response to the mandate without compromising the quality of drugs they prescribe. I show that the type of patient to whom a drug is prescribed matters as well. Compared to patients prescribed medication for the first time\, PCPs switch long-time users from branded to generic versions of the same drug at much lower rates\, especially when these patients are older or use multiple prescription drugs. This suggests that there is a cost to switching between drugs and that it varies by patient characteristics. Using an instrumental variables framework\, I estimate that switching a patient from a brand name to generic version of the same drug indeed comes at a cost\, measured with decreased medication adherence. I develop a structural model of prescription behavior to quantify the relative importance of physician bias and patient considerations in PCP prescribing behavior\, and find they are about equally important. Using this model\, I show that the introduction of a Mandatory Generic Substitution policy may decrease overall welfare as a result of patient considerations. This suggests that policy efforts aimed at changing physician behavior should also consider potentially negative health impacts on patients.

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.

In higher criticism\, we develop a one-sided sequential probability ratio test based on the ordered p-values to achieve optimal detection of rare and weak signals. This makes an interesting connection to the test of power one and nonlinear renewal theorem. In multiple isotonic regression\, a block estimator is developed to attain minimax rate for a wide range of signal-to-noise ratio\, to achieve adaptation to the parametric root-n rate up to a logarithmic factor in the case where the unknown mean is piecewise constant\, and to achieve adaptation in variable selection. In uncertainty quantification\, we develop second order Stein formulas for statistical inference in nonparametric and high-dimensional problems. Applications of the second order Stein method include exact formulas and upper bounds for the variance of risk estimators and risk bounds for regularized or shape constrained estimators and related degrees of freedom adjustments and confidence regions.\n\n*Hors d'oeuvres immediately following in 337 West Hall (Don Meyer Commons) UID:63882-15977784@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63882 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190920T130853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190927T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190927T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.

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:63803-15884072@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.

DESCRIPTION:Mike Stengel\nSenior Associate\, AeroDynamic Advisory\n\nThe commercial aerospace industry today is part of the backbone of the global economy due to the number of programs in production and under development\, as well as record high production rates. However\, aircraft programs are expensive and risky\, sometimes putting the entire company on the line. While the financial consequences can be high for a program that does not sell well\, there are also “home runs” that have provided streams of profits for OEMs. In this seminar\, Mike Stengel of AeroDynamic Advisory will examine some of the key aircraft platforms that have defined the Airbus & Boeing portfolios\, including the challenges faced during the development\, successes & failures in marketing the aircraft to customers\, and the financial and strategic outcomes for the companies.\n\nMike Stengel is a Senior Associate at AeroDynamic Advisory\, where he is responsible for project management and research of aerospace markets. His particular area of focus is in the air transport manufacturing and Maintenance\, Repair\, and Overhaul (MRO) sectors. Mike's projects have spanned the aerospace industry\, and include topics such as aftermarket strategy\, transaction/M&A advisory\, customer satisfaction\, strategic technology assessments\, and economic development for airlines\, OEMs\, industry associations\, and investors.\n\nPreviously\, Mike was an Associate at ICF International's Aerospace and MRO consulting practice. Prior to that\, he interned at United Airlines in their San Francisco\, CA engine and APU maintenance facility\, as well as at AeroStrategy in 2011.\n\nMike holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering (cum laude) from the University of Michigan\, where he has also been an invited guest speaker\, and is an FAA-licensed commercial pilot with an instrument rating.

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:63627-15820744@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:20190927T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190927T170000 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. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering.

Based on this work\, in this talk\, my goals are two-fold.\n \nFirst\, I will give an overview of how some of my group's work\, as well as other related research from computer science researchers\, can be leveraged to enable cloud-driven control of manufacturing devices\, i.e.\, how CS research can be used for improved manufacturing.\n \nSecond\, in the context of smart manufacturing\, I will describe the challenges in applying the approaches traditionally used by computer science researchers. In particular\, I will argue that many of the principles that underlie use of the cloud will need to be rethought\, and the domain of smart manufacturing presents an exciting new frontier for distributed systems research. I will then show some preliminary work done in collaboration with Prof. Okwudire on the application of cloud computing to the control of manufacturing machines. \n\nBio\nHarsha V.

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.

Abolitionist Teaching is built on the creativity\, imagination\, boldness\, ingenuity\, and rebellious spirit and methods of abolitionists to demand and fight for an educational system where all students are thriving\, not simply surviving.\n\nAbout Dr. Bettina L. Love\n\nDr. Bettina L. Love is an award-winning author and Associate Professor of Educational Theory & Practice at the University of Georgia. She is the author of the book *We Want To Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom* (Beacon Press). She passionately\, and with resolute and bold inquiry\, argues that the U.S. educational system is maintained by and profits from the suffering of children of color. Instead of trying to repair a flawed system\, educational reformers offer survival tactics in the forms of test-taking skills\, acronyms\, grit labs\, and character education\, which Love calls the educational survival complex.\n\nDr. Love is one of the field’s most esteemed educational researchers in the area of Hip Hop education. Her research focuses on the ways in which urban youth negotiate Hip Hop music and culture to form social\, cultural\, and political identities to create new and sustaining ways of thinking about urban education and intersectional social justice. Her work is also concerned with how teachers and schools working with parents and communities can build communal\, civically engaged schools rooted in intersectional social justice for the goal of equitable classrooms.\n\nFor her work in the field\, in 2016\, Dr. Love was named the Nasir Jones Hiphop Fellow at the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University. She is also the creator of the Hip Hop civics curriculum GET FREE. In April of 2017\, Dr. Love participated in a one-on-one public lecture with bell hooks focused on the liberatory education practices of Black and Brown children. In 2018\, Georgia’s House of Representatives presented Dr. Love with a resolution for her impact on the field of education.\n\nDr. Love is a sought-after public speaker on a range of topics\, including antiblackness in schools\, Hip Hop education\, Black girlhood\, queer youth\, Hip Hop feminism\, art-based education to foster youth civic engagement and issues of diversity and inclusion. In 2014\, she was invited to the White House Research Conference on Girls to discuss her work focused on the lives of Black girls. In addition\, she is the inaugural recipient of the Michael F. Adams award (2014) from the University of Georgia. She has also provided commentary for various news outlets including NPR\, The Guardian\, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution. She is the author of the book Hip Hop’s Li’l Sistas Speak: Negotiating Hip Hop Identities and Politics in the New South. Her work has appeared in numerous books and journals\, including the English Journal\, Urban Education\, The Urban Review\, and Journal of LGBT Youth.

DESCRIPTION:Mike Stengel\nSenior Associate\, AeroDynamic Advisory\n\nThe commercial aerospace industry today is part of the backbone of the global economy due to the number of programs in production and under development\, as well as record high production rates. However\, aircraft programs are expensive and risky\, sometimes putting the entire company on the line. While the financial consequences can be high for a program that does not sell well\, there are also “home runs” that have provided streams of profits for OEMs. In this seminar\, Mike Stengel of AeroDynamic Advisory will examine some of the key aircraft platforms that have defined the Airbus & Boeing portfolios\, including the challenges faced during the development\, successes & failures in marketing the aircraft to customers\, and the financial and strategic outcomes for the companies.\n\nMike Stengel is a Senior Associate at AeroDynamic Advisory\, where he is responsible for project management and research of aerospace markets. His particular area of focus is in the air transport manufacturing and Maintenance\, Repair\, and Overhaul (MRO) sectors. Mike's projects have spanned the aerospace industry\, and include topics such as aftermarket strategy\, transaction/M&A advisory\, customer satisfaction\, strategic technology assessments\, and economic development for airlines\, OEMs\, industry associations\, and investors.\n\nPreviously\, Mike was an Associate at ICF International's Aerospace and MRO consulting practice. Prior to that\, he interned at United Airlines in their San Francisco\, CA engine and APU maintenance facility\, as well as at AeroStrategy in 2011.\n\nMike holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering (cum laude) from the University of Michigan\, where he has also been an invited guest speaker\, and is an FAA-licensed commercial pilot with an instrument rating.

These complaints were validated by the DOI Inspector General and subsequently triggered investigations and congressional hearings into the nature and extent of sexual harassment within the NPS work environment. In response to these events\, the leadership of the NPS renewed its commitment to making substantial and long-term cultural changes at the agency to prevent sexual harassment and to ensure every employee has a safe and respectful work environment (Reynolds\, 2016). As part of these efforts\, the leadership of the NPS commissioned a study of the work environment at the NPS. The study was designed to assess employees’ attitudes\, perceptions\, and behaviors on a wide range of topics related to the character\, context\, correlates and consequences of harassment and/or assault behaviors experienced by employees within the NPS work environment. This presentation will present findings related to employees’ experiences with harassing and/or assault behaviors and situational factors surrounding these experiences. The presentation will also report findings regarding demographic\, occupational\, and organizational factors linked with harassing and/or assault behaviors experienced at work\; and job-related consequences of harassing and/or assault behaviors experienced at work. The presentation will discuss how the results from the study served to inform\, influence and impact strategic and long-term efforts to change the NPS culture\, to prevent sexual harassment and ensure that every employee has a safe and respectful work environment.

Often called Pranayama or Yogic breathing this practice is gaining increasing importance in the Western world. The availability of ancient literature and modern scientific evidence is sparse on this subtopic of Yoga. Dr. Sundar Balasubramanian is a pioneer in the area of salivary biomarkers combining Pranayama practice. He has been researching techniques related to Pranayama from the ancient and unique Siddha tradition. He has published scientific research papers and book on Thirumanthiram\, written by Saint Thirumoolar. This workshop consisting of both theoretical and practical components is unique in combining ancient wisdom with modern science based on the teacher’s first-hand experience and research. The attendees will be able to\,\n\n1. Get acquainted with the ancient literary excerpts on Yogic breathing\n2. Get to practice key breathing exercises from an ancient tradition\n3. Understand the physiological\, emotional and biological mechanisms of Pranayama based on the research work done by the presenter\n4. Learn the clinical and social applications of Pranayama\n\nThis program is designed for students of all levels. Participants can learn easy exercises to relieve day-to-day stress\, and to improve overall wellness. No need for Yoga mats or Yoga attire. Participants can practice seated on chairs with campus/office attire. No large meal within 2 hours prior to the session. Drink adequate fluid. \n\nSession timings: Lecture - First 30 minutes\; Q/A-10 minutes\; Practice-50 minutes (questions allowed if they are about the exercises being practiced).

Our understanding of tectonic faulting has been shaken to the core by discoveries of seismic tremor\, low frequency earthquakes\, slow slip events\, and other modes of fault slip. These phenomena represent modes of failure that were thought to be non-existent and theoretically impossible not long ago. Despite the growing number of observations of slow earthquakes and the fact that they can trigger catastrophic large earthquakes their origin remains unresolved. Basic questions remain regarding how slow ruptures can propagate quasi-dynamically\, at speeds far below the Rayleigh wave speed\, and how tectonic faults can host both slow slip and dynamic earthquake rupture. Our lab work now includes the ability to reproduce the full spectrum of failure modes from stable creep to elastodynamic rupture. Remarkably\, this range of events can be predicted using machine learning (ML) techniques to analyze acoustic emissions emanating from the fault. The labquakes are preceded by a cascade of micro-failure events that radiate elastic energy in a manner that foretells catastrophic failure. The ML methods predict the time of failure\, the slip duration\, and for some events the magnitude of slip. These predictions demonstrate a mapping between fault strength and statistical attributes of the fault zone elastic radiation that it is valid throughout the duration of the lab seismic cycle. They also correctly describe both dynamic rupture and slow slip events. Here\, I summarize laboratory results on the mechanics of slow earthquakes and our work on lab earthquake prediction.

The complete decarbonization of electricity\, agriculture\, transportation\, building heat\, and industrial sectors may reduce the rate at which we accumulate heat\, but will have no impact on the previous emissions that already\, and will continue to\, cause the majority of radiative forcing. Drawing inspiration from mathematics and physics\, Bret Kugelmass derives a pathway towards global scale removal of greenhouse gas on a timeline fast enough to spare the most vulnerable communities. He presents a counterfactual to calls for policy “solutions” of sacrifice\, efficiency\, and taxes which often ignore energy demands and political realities of the developing world. He will argue that in deploying nuclear energy at scale\, we can power the transition to a global carbon negative economy in a way that aligns short-term individual economic motivations with long-term environmental preservation.\n\nBIO:Bret Kugelmass is a former technology entrepreneur who has dedicated his focus to climate and energy challenges. One of the early pioneers in commercializing unmanned aerospace technology he founded and remained CEO of Airphrame Inc. for five years up until its acquisition. Prior to this\, he received his masters in robotics from Stanford University and his earlier work includes designing lunar rover control systems for NASA and a concept electric car for Panasonic. In 2017\, he launched a Washington\, DC based research institute\, the Energy Impact Center\, focused on exploring the challenges and opportunities of nuclear power's role in deep decarbonization. Their work includes techno-economic analysis of energy technologies\, hosting clean-tech prize competitions\, and publishing audio interviews with hundreds of experts under the “Titans of Nuclear” brand.

The concept of relative “quality” is used to distinguish between groups on the basis of attributes that are inherent or inherited\, and those that are learned\, providing a reasoning for existing inequalities of access and opportunity. The Merchant of Venice features competing vocabularies of valuation as measured by worldly wealth\, moral worth\, and good conduct. The contradictions inherent in the overlapping models for measuring relative value in the play reveal an underlying ideology of racial differentiation\, a belief in the existence of innate differences between groups.

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.

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:66703-16770291@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:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190919T115110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190928T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190928T103000 SUMMARY:Other:Museum Highlights Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

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.

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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-14511274@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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:63803-15884073@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:63627-15820745@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:20190928T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190928T170000 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. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering.

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.

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 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.

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:63627-15820746@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:20190929T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190929T112000 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:63803-15884074@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.

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:63992-16059359@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:20190929T120011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190929T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190929T160000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Harvest Festival DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the harvest season with food\, music\, farm tours\, and activities for people of all ages!

Reading Storied Ground in Medieval Rome DESCRIPTION:This paper argues that medieval Romans read elements in the city-scape to discover the evidence of sacred history. I use three case studies linked to saints Peter and Paul: divots in the Forum’s paving\, an ancient Roman votive offering\, and some springs at the church of Tre Fontane. The divots in the Forum’s pavement were damage\, which Romans read as as signs of Christian history\, claiming them as the knee prints left by Peter and Paul when they prayed for Simon Magus’ defeat. The votive offering is a pair of sculpted footprints. By the thirteenth century\, ignoring this origin\, Romans read them as Jesus’s footprints\, left on the spot where he greeted Peter at the walls of Rome. Both cases display a dominant factor in medieval people’s material imagination: the ability to read the stories they knew in the things they saw. The springs at Tre Fontane are a third kind of thing\, a natural phenomenon\, and they add a new kind of reading. Tre Fontane was taken as the site of Paul’s decapitation\, after which his head bounced three times\, each bounce creating a spring. This story differs from the preceding cases in that it was the product of reading both the landscape and images of Paul’s martyrdom\, which together suggested information absent from text.

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 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.

Using a generalized linear model with terms corresponding to the visual stimulus\, mouse running speed\, and experimentally measured neuronal correlations\, we modeled short term dynamics of L2/3 murine visual cortical neurons to evaluate the relative importance of each factor to neuronal variability within single trials. We find single trial predictions improve most when conditioning on the experimentally measured local correlations in comparison to predictions based on the stimulus or running speed. Specifically\, accurate predictions are driven by positively co-varying and synchronously active functional groups of neurons. Including functional groups in the model enhances decoding accuracy of sensory information compared to a model that assumes neuronal independence. Functional groups\, in encoding and decoding frameworks\, provide an operational definition of Hebbian assemblies in which local correlations largely explain neuronal responses on individual trials.\n\nBio: Jason MacLean is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurobiology and director of undergraduate studies in neuroscience at the University of Chicago. His research aims to define how information is encoded in the brain by large groups of synaptically interconnected neurons using a range of analytical approaches.

We further show that that these errors are eliminated (or dramatically reduced) when self-serving motives are removed. Put differently\, we find that individuals make “motivated errors” — they act as if they are cognitively limited\, but only when it is self-serving to do so.

This would result in a social motivation whereby children help others because they want to provide the help themselves. However\, in a series of studies we find better support for an alternative explanation of children’s helping behaviour\, one that emphasizes their prosocial motivation to maintain cooperative relationships with others\, including their peers. To this end we studied a prosocial emotion that has thus far received little attention in the developmental literature: elevation. The central finding is that young children express positive emotions when seeing others being helped and more specifically when seeing others get the help they deserve. The pattern from a series of studies suggests that young children’s prosocial emotions are regulated not only by concern for their personal gain or by sympathy for others\, but reflect an emerging sense of deservingness as determined by social comparison.

Currently\, in liver\, a single subcutaneous administration supports a year of clinical efficacy\, changing our vision of how medicine will be practiced in the future.\nThe unprecedented duration of effect relies on oligonucleotide endocytosis and entrapment within endosomal/lysosomal compartments. These naturally formed\, intracellular deposits provide a continuous release of compounds for RISC loading and productive silencing\, supporting multi-month efficacy. Of course\, this approach is dependent on extensive and complex chemical stabilization that ensures the survival of the oligonucleotides in highly aggressive biological environments.\nIn the context of fully stabilized compounds\, we have used diverse chemical engineering to define the rules driving oligonucleotide distribution\, efficacy\, and toxicity. At this point\, efficient modulation of gene expression in multiple extrahepatic tissues is possible (muscle\, heart\, fat\, placenta\, etc). One of our engineering efforts resulted in the identification of a di-branched chemical scaffold that enables potent and durable gene silencing in the brain and spinal cord. Using huntingtin – the causative gene in Huntington disease – as a model\, we demonstrate that CNS-active RNAi induces potent protein silencing (~ 90%) in all brain regions tested in both rodents and non-human primates. Silencing persists for at least six months\, with the degree of gene modulation correlating to the level of the guide strand tissue accumulation. \nDemonstration of extrahepatic activity\, in particular the development of a CNS-active RNAi scaffold\, is opening other tissues and the brain for RNAi-based modulation of gene expression and establishing a path toward the development of new cures for genetically-defined neurodegenerative disorders.

This paper evaluates the economic consequences of being denied an abortion on the basis of gestational age of the pregnancy. Our analysis relies on new linkages to administrative data on ten years of credit reports for participants in the Turnaway Study\, the first study to collect high-quality\, longitudinal data on women receiving or being denied a wanted abortion. The study recruited women seeking an abortion at 30 health providers located in 21 states who fell in to one of two groups: the first group included women with pregnancies close to the facility's gestational age limit who received a wanted abortion (Near Limit Abortion Group)\, while the second group was women with pregnancies just over the facility's gestational age limit who were turned away without receiving an abortion (Turnaway Group). Our analysis compares differences in credit report outcomes for these two groups for 3 years prior and up to 5 years following the intended abortion using an event study design. We find that the trajectories for these outcomes are similar for the two groups of women during the pre-period. However\, following their visit to the abortion provider\, we find evidence of a large and persistent increase in financial distress for the women who were denied an abortion that is sustained for the 6 years following the intended abortion.\n\nWith Diana G.

Despite the attention that has been given this complex topic in both the professional and lay press the progress towards making patient safety a real priority in healthcare has been limited. Transforming healthcare so that patient safety becomes an inherent property embedded in the very fabric of the organization requires the adoption of a variety of values\, techniques\, and processes that are continually  reinforced by the words and deeds of leadership at all levels. Critical elements and methods for achieving this goal will be discussed.\n\nDr. James P. Bagian is the Director of the Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety and is a Professor in the  Department of Anesthesiology in the Medical School and the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan. Previously\, he served as the first Director of the VA National Center for Patient Safety (NCPS) and the first Chief Patient Safety Officer for the Department of Veterans Affairs from 1999 to 2010 where he developed numerous patient safety related tools and programs that have been adopted nationally and internationally. Dr. Bagian served as a NASA astronaut and is a veteran of two Space Shuttle missions and was an investigator of both the Challenger and Columbia Space Shuttle mishaps. Presently\, he is applying systems engineering approaches to the analysis of medical adverse events and the development and implementation of systems-based corrective actions that will enhance patient safety primarily through preventive means. He received his B.S. in mechanical engineering from Drexel University and his M.D. from Jefferson Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. He is a Fellow of the Aerospace Medical Association\, a member of the National Academy of Engineering\, the Institute of Medicine\, and has received numerous awards for his work in the field of patient safety and aerospace medicine.\n\n1123 LBME is room 1123 in the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Biomedical Engineering Building (LBME). The street address is 1101 Beal Avenue. A map and directions are available at: http://www.bme.umich.edu/about/directions.php.\n\nThis seminar series is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach. \n\nFor additional information and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series\, please contact genehkim@umich.edu. \n\nPhotographs and video taken at this event may be used to promote CHEPS\, College of Engineering\, and the University.

'It Began with a Picture'\, or\, Inventing Stories to Make Sense of Images in the European Middle Ages. DESCRIPTION:This paper examines medieval discussions of iconography\, what an image represents. It concentrates on what Dale Kinney has called narrative etiologies\, that is cases where medieval viewers\, provoked by an image they did not understand\, invent a story that explains it. My examples include the contested reception of ruler portraits\, inquiries into images in churches\, and narrative elaborations on hagiographical images. These cases demonstrate that medieval viewers were quite happy to accept Pope Gregory the Great's invitation to read images as the literate read texts. For the art historian\, they offer gratifying proof that images may provoke verbal narratives instead of merely depending on them.

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.

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:63992-16059361@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:20190927T114951 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191001T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191001T220000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Light Behind Bars DESCRIPTION:This video exhibit showcases 672 artworks curated from the 2\,300 pieces submitted for the 24th Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners.

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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-14511276@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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:63803-15884075@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:63627-15820747@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:20191001T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191001T170000 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.

In a series of studies\, we used pupillometry to design experimental paradigms that allow us to investigate physiological changes in the context of both children’s and chimpanzees’ social interactions. We applied these methods to study the underlying motivation of both prosocial behaviour and so-called inequity aversion. In young children\, we have further included measures of positive emotions using motion sensor technology.

Highly unusual for flowering plants\, species grow directly attached to rocks in river-rapids and waterfalls. Podostemaceae species exhibit high phenotypic plasticity and have highly modified growth forms\, both of which contribute to taxonomic confusion. Many of the estimated 300 riverweed species are narrowly distributed and incompletely known\, and evolutionary relationships within the family are uncertain. Unfortunately\, many species are of conservation concern and risk extinction due to the expansion of hydroelectric dams and massive reservoirs. This talk will detail the progress on a collaborative project to better understand the phylogeny\, biogeography\, and systematics of Podostemaceae. In particular\, we aim to better understand the biogeographical history of neotropical riverine organisms and the role that major river capture events during the Cenozoic have played in their distribution. The project includes significant fieldwork\, monographic work\, and an investigation of the structural organization of the family’s plastid genome. Finally\, we are also developing a new online resource designed to broadly disseminate information on the family as well as a new tool for the systematics community to more easily manage monographic data for publication.

For more than 26 years he has been working with museums\, art centers and community groups to create “tapetes” or carpets of colored sand for Mexican Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations. These installations are collaboratively designed and installed with community members over the course of several days. Lazo has had more than 50 solo shows throughout the United States\, Mexico\, and Japan and is represented by galleries in Oaxaca\, Mexico City\, Monterrey and Valle de Bravo. In Seattle\, where he has lived since 1990\, he is most known for his tireless work to create programs and spaces that are inclusive and reflect diverse audiences. He has co-founded some of Seattle’s most iconic traditions within the Latino community\, including Seattle’s annual Oaxacan celebration known as Guelaguetza\, International Children’s Day\, and the Day of the Dead celebrations at many venues\, including the Seattle Art Museum. Most recently he co-founded Studio Lazo\, an organization of artists and community members creating a welcoming venue that especially showcases the creativity of Latino artists\, writers and musicians. \n\nLazo will lecture on ofrendas\, a Día de los Muertos tradition from Mexico\, and on his artwork which includes the installations of tapetes\, carpets of colored sand in bright compositions to honor the dead.\n\nFor the full description of Fulgencio's visiting artist visit to Ann Arbor\, see https://lsa.umich.edu/rc/news-events/all-news/search-news/rc-studio-art-program-and-the-ann-arbor-district-library-welcome.html UID:67431-16849215@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67431 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Latin America,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:East Quadrangle - Classroom B852 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190829T131947 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191001T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191001T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | A Whiff of Nirvana: On Why Chinese Buddhists Were Not Vegans DESCRIPTION:Medieval Chinese Buddhists were some of the world's most strident animal rights activists.

As manga and anime have spread\, so too has the fan practice of cosplay\, dressing up as animated characters. The vast majority of cosplayers around the world are women. In this paper\, I examine the practice of cosplay in Taiwan\, and in particular\, cosplayers who dress as characters from a unique Taiwanese genre of animation\, “digital video swordplay puppetry.” There is a continuum of how cosplayers think and talk about cosplay. Some cosplayers\, especially in North America\, see cosplaying as a kind of acting and say they want to “become the character.” Others\, especially in Asia\, see cosplay more in terms of bringing puppet characters to life\, (re)animating them. I argue that cosplay appeals primarily to women because it is a pleasurable play form of the kinds of work that they are expected to do at work and in their social lives. Cosplay allows women to experiment with different ways of blending embodied and disembodied\, performative and animating\, forms of affective labor.\n\nBook giveaway!

It jeopardizes progress in closing the gender gap\, damages research integrity\, and results in a costly loss of talent. In 2016\, the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine assembled a committee to conduct a study on this problem. The committee published a comprehensive report in 2018 titled\, \"Sexual Harassment of Women: Climate\, Culture\, and Consequences in Academic Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine.\" The report identifies key findings on the causes and consequences of sexual harassment\, and lays out recommendations for institutional policies\, strategies\, and practices to address and prevent it. U-M Professors Lilia Cortina and Anna Kirkland were two members of that committee. In this talk they will review key findings from the report and discuss implications at the department level.\n\nPlease note: Should you require any accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event please contact Stacy Tiburzi at 734-764-3440 or stibu@umich.edu.

Here\, I will describe our use of ultrafast nonlinear optics\, especially at terahertz (THz) frequencies\, to study three representative Dirac materials: graphene micro-ribbons\, topological insulators\, and Weyl semimetals. We used THz magneto-optical spectroscopy to examine periodic arrays of graphene micro-ribbons\, enabling us to control the transmission and Faraday rotation spectra of THz pulses via coupling to discretized magnetoplasmon modes. In the Weyl semimetal TaAs\, time-resolved second harmonic generation enabled us to reveal a new photoinduced phase\, and THz emission spectroscopy was used to provide new insight into the circular photogalvanic effect. Finally\, we used intense THz pulses to drive and coherently control structural dynamics in the topological insulator Bi2Se3. Overall\, our studies demonstrate the utility of nonlinear optics in shedding new light on both static and dynamic properties of topological materials. \n\nBiography: Dr. Rohit P. Prasankumar received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1997 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1999 and 2003\, respectively. His thesis work\, completed in 2003\, concentrated on developing novel approaches for self-starting mode-locking in solid state lasers. Dr. Prasankumar subsequently performed his postdoctoral research at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)\, focusing on ultrafast mid-to-far-infrared dynamics in semiconductor nanostructures and strongly correlated compounds. He has been a technical staff member at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) at LANL since 2006\, with research interests principally directed towards the measurement of dynamics in complex materials\, such as multiferroics\, semiconductor nanowires\, and topological materials\, with high temporal and spatial resolution over a broad spectral range. He is also a research associate professor at the University of New Mexico.\n UID:67592-16900780@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67592 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190911T130624 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191001T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191001T170000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Cross-Campus Transfer Info Sessions DESCRIPTION:If you are enrolled in another University of Michigan-Ann Arbor school or college and are interested in transferring to LSA\, you must attend a transferring to LSA information session.\n\nInfo sessions will be held in Angell Hall\, Room G243 at 4:00 p.m. on the following dates:\n\nMonday\, September 9\n\nWednesday\, September 18\n\nTuesday\, October 1\n\nMonday\, October 21\n\nTuesday\, November 5\n\nMonday\, November 18\n\nWednesday\, December 4\n\nThursday\, December 12 UID:66489-16742663@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66489 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Advising LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190926T091215 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191001T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191001T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:GISC Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar Lecture. Art & Resistance: Palestinian Contemporary Art and Challenges Facing U.S. Exhibition DESCRIPTION:How can art function as a means of political resistance? When does resistance against the exhibition of certain art function as a means of censorship? This talk attempts to address these questions through an examination of contemporary Palestinian art practices. Beginning with an introduction into the art practices of some contemporary Palestinian artists living both within historic Palestine and the diaspora\, I will discuss how these artists use their work to highlight and challenge the realities of life under persistent occupation\, as well as how their practices must adapt to a settler colonial context. Then\, turning towards a U.S. context\, I address the obstacles to exhibiting and discussing Palestinian art in the States in recent case studies. These difficulties manifest in museum exhibitions through an insistence on “fairness\,” “balance\,” and an insurance to tell the stories of “both sides” of the conflict when discussing Palestine and Israel.

While big hospitals are able to absorb the cost of owning and maintaining multi-million dollar DaVinci surgical robots and associated infrastructure\, small community hospitals face a difficult decision.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present this dilemma faced by Cadillac Hospital\, which serves the rural community of about 80\,000 residents in seven counties in northern Michigan. A few years ago\, we had to decide to either invest significant time\, money\, and personnel in creating and running a robotics program\, or lose our patients and surgeons to bigger hospitals and medical centers. This would be a loss for the\nlocal community\, economy\, and quality of living. Instead\, we looked for alternate options. There weren’t many but the most promising one seemed to be a technology from our own state – FlexDex – created at the University of Michigan.\n\nI will describe how I ended up adopting FlexDex and pioneering complex surgical procedures with it just as they would be performed on the DaVinci surgical robot but at much lower costs to the hospital. I have now performed over four hundred FlexDex procedures including hernia repair\, colon resection\, fundoplication\, and hysterectomy. The savings from this decision and the “notoriety” that this brought us has expanded our surgical efficiency as well as capabilities.\n\nFlexDex is now spreading all over the world and is being adopted in urology\, gynecology\, cardiothoracic\, bariatric\, and whipple procedures among others. I will discuss the future potential of this technology in providing greater access to minimally invasive surgery world-wide at an affordable cost. I will also discuss ongoing technology needs and challenges that remain in surgery that might\ninspire new research and innovation at universities.\n\nBio\nDr. Kent Bowden\, D.O. is a General Surgeon at Cadillac Hospital\, Munson Healthcare. He trained at the College of Osteopathic Medicine\, Michigan State University and graduated in 2005. He completed his Residency at Ingham Regional Medical Center in Lansing\, MI in 2010\, and joined private practice in a rural hospital where he could have a broad-spectrum practice. His objective as a surgeon is to\nprovide cost-effective\, personalized and world-class care to patients in his local community. In addition to pioneering cases with FlexDex\, he enjoys coaching basketball at his children's school and spending time outdoors with his family. Dr. Bowden is a Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons (FACOS).

In general\, however\, these species are highly reactive and difficult to isolate and study. In this talk I will present our laboratories efforts at isolating and studying late transition metal oxo complexes. We have found that use of pseudo-tetrahedral geometries enables the isolation of an unusual terminal Co-oxo complex. The reactivity of this species towards C-H activation is markedly different than that observed for the majority of other systems and provides experimental evidence for a new mechanistic scenario dubbed \"asynchronous\" CPET. Finally\, the possible relevance of related Co and Ni complexes in this system towards O-O bond formation will be discussed.\nJohn Anderson (University of Chicago) UID:63512-15767677@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63512 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190925T160919 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191001T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191001T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Taking Airbus into the Future–Flight Physics Outlook DESCRIPTION:Marc Fischer\nHead of Flight Physics\nSenior Vice President\, Engineering\, Airbus Group\n\nThe talk provides a general overview of Airbus Group and Flight Physics\, the global challenges of the aeronautical industry\, and shows how Model Based Systems Engineering can contribute to meet these challenges.\n \nAirbus Group is an aircraft manufacturer with three divisions for commercial aircraft\, helicopters\, and defense and space.

Johann Sebastian Bach is often portrayed as a solitary colossus\, dwarfing his contemporaries and casting a long shadow on his successors. This conference provides an opportunity to assess Bach within the context of his foundational artistic influences\, his exchanges with his contemporaries\, and his influence on later composers\, extending to present-day projects.

Named for Scottish poet Robert Tannahill\, the Tannahill Weavers create music that is steeped in history yet brings the Scottish musical tradition forward into the present day. With innovative arrangements blending the beauty of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms\, the group embraces the rollicking\, even brawling qualities of Lowland Anglo-Scots tunes but never loses sight of the almost mystical Highland Celtic core. \"The penetrating sound of the Highland bagpipes is a thread of ancient memory running through it all\,\" they say. The band's diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fiery instrumentals\, topical songs\, and original ballads. They're an Ark favorite\, but tonight you have the chance to see them with an act that's a good deal rarer stateside—The Old Blind Dogs. Since forming in Scotland in 1992\, The Dogs have stood on the cutting edge of the Scots roots revival. The band has developed its own trademark style with an energetic mix of songs and tunes. Dynamic percussion\, polished vocals\, soaring fiddle and stirring pipes fuel the delicately phrased melodies and traditional songs. \"The Old Blind Dogs play with a compelling energy and intoxicating rhythm\,\" says The Scotsman\, \"...as players and audience seem to share a wild ecstasy of emotion.\" Twenty-seven years is a long time in the life of any band and most who reach those milestones are content to rest on the tried and tested formulas that have worked in the past. Not so for The Old Blind Dogs\, whose newly released \"Room With A View\" takes them once again bravely in many new directions.

Halaloween: A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night DESCRIPTION:On October 1st\, 2019\, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night will be the first film to launch our Muslim Horror Film Festival: Halaloween. \n \nThis film festival aims to explore a couple of questions: What scares Muslim audiences? How do horror movies conceived for a Muslim public transform the familiar tropes that Hollywood and Hammer horror taught us? How do Muslim directors of horror movies use the genre to ask probing questions about gender and family tensions\, social injustice and political oppression\, demographic change and social unrest? Are horror movies halal (permissible in Islamic law)? Why so many jinn - and where are the Muslim zombies? \n \nJoin us at 9:00 PM at the Michigan Theater on October 1st\, and every Tuesday of October for a free screening of a Muslim horror film. All Screenings are free\, open to the public\, and will include English subtitles. Screenings are first come-first served. For more information on our festival\, why we're running it\, and the other films we are screening\, please visit: ii.umich.edu/islamicstudies/news-events/events/films.html \n\nFilm Description: \n \nOctober 1: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (dir.

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.

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:63992-16059362@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:20191002T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T180000 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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-14511277@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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:63803-15884076@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:63627-15820748@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:20191002T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T170000 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.

Another approach would be to adopt a state-wide list system of proportional representation\, as described in Bob Davidow’s recent article in the Wayne Law Review. With a state-wide system\, there would be no district line to draw -- hence no gerrymandering. The proposed system would not only reduce the amount of money needed for election\, but also reduce the influence of the wealthy and well-connected. Demographic changes would not affect the operation of the system. An independent redistricting commission would do none of these things. \n\nThis course for those 50 and over will be led by Instructor Bob Davidow\, Professor of Law (retired) from George Mason University.

In de Sitter\, we examine what happens to massive gravity as its mass approaches the partially massless value. In this limit\, if the interactions are chosen to be precisely those of the 'candidate' non-linear partially massless theory\, the strong coupling scale is raised\, giving the theory a wider range of applicability. In anti-de Sitter and flat spacetime\, we show how shift symmetries acting on the vector modes emerge from massive spin-2 theories fixing the non-linear structure and discuss whether these theories have amplitudes that can be constructed via soft substracted recursion.

Some paradata\, such as response times\, enjoy a long tradition in survey research\, but others\, such as window/tab switching\, are only rarely used in survey research. In this talk\, I focus on the usefulness and usability of JavaScript \"OnBlur\" functions informing about how often and for how long respondents switch away from web surveys. For this purpose\, I present the results of two empirical studies: the first study explores the impact of on-device multitasking\, such as switching away to check social media notifications\, on response behavior. The second study\, in contrast\, focuses on the consequences of looking up answers online for measuring political knowledge. The talk ends with a discussion of further fields of application for JavaScript \"OnBlur\" functions in survey research.

How would you respond? Would you protect or condemn your friend? What makes dilemmas like these so vexing is that they pit two fundamental drives against one another: protecting those we love versus abiding by universal rules. Here we demonstrate that when people are presented with scenarios forcing them to decide whether to protect or condemn the perpetrators of crimes\, they demonstrate an extremely strong bias to protect close (vs. distant) others\, and the size the of this effect increases along with the severity of the crime they observe. Moreover\, using event-related potentials (ERPs) we show that the amplitude of the P300\, an early neural component occurring around 300ms that is sensitive to expectancy violations\, was greater when people thought about close (vs. distant) others committing crimes and predicted people’s decisions to protect versus condemn perpetrators’ behaviors. However\, we show that the behavioral bias toward close others is attenuated by a brief self-distancing manipulation. Preliminary cross-cultural work shows that the bias is also present but attenuated among a Japanese sample\, suggesting that cultural factors may modulate the balance between loyalty and justice. These findings underscore the importance of studying the role of close relationships in moral reasoning.

Although central nervous system (CNS) tissue has the innate capacity to repair the local environment that develops after SCI lacks sufficient factors that promote regeneration and has an abundance of factors that inhibit regeneration. Many strategies have been attempted to aid in the regeneration of CNS tissue\, yet re-entry into intact spared tissue remains inadequately low. This is due to the complexity of the spinal cord microenvironment post injury and the barriers that must be addressed to elicit adequate regeneration. The Shea lab has developed multi-channel poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) bridges to promote spinal cord regeneration and restore functional losses. These bridges are biodegradable and provide a temporary structure that promotes regeneration for between 2 and 6 months post-implantation. The bridges have an interconnected pore structure\, that allows infiltration of endogenous cell populations\, including macrophages\, Schwann cells\, oligodendrocytes. Additionally\, the bridge mechanically stabilizes the injury with tissue ingrowth and reduces secondary injury and axonal dieback. Longitudinal channels encourage axons to regenerate into the bridge with cells aligned along this major axis. Both motor and sensory axons have been identified in bridge channels. These bridges also serve as a platform for delivery of therapeutics including drugs\, cells\, and notably lentivirus.\n \nThis dissertation investigated the use of lentiviral gene therapy from multi-channel bridges to barriers to regeneration during acute and chronic phases of SCI. We investigated myelination of regenerating axons by over-expression of platelet-derived growth factor-AA (PDGF) and noggin either alone or in combination in an acute mouse SCI model. The combination of noggin + PDGF enhanced total myelination of regenerating axons relative to either factor alone and importantly\, enhanced functional recovery relative to the control condition. The increase in myelination was consistent with an increase in oligodendrocyte-derived myelin\, which was also associated with a greater density of cells of an oligodendroglial lineage relative to each factor individually and control conditions. We investigated synergistic effects of anti-inflammatory and regenerative factors by bi-cistronic delivery of NT-3 and IL-10 using PLG bridges after acute SCI. The combination of IL-10+NT-3 enhanced axonal growth and oligodendrocyte myelinated axon density significantly over control This resulted in increased locomotor functional recovery compared to IL-10 or NT-3 alone but increased hypersensitivity compared to IL-10 alone. Furthermore\, we observed a strong positive correlation between oligodendrocyte myelinated axon density and functional recovery. Lastly\, we investigated regeneration using the multi-channel bridge implanted into a chronic SCI following surgical resection of necrotic tissue. We characterized the dynamic injury response and noted that scar formation decreased at 4 and 8 weeks post injury (wpi)\, yet macrophage infiltration increased between 4 and 8 wpi. Subsequently\, scar tissue was resected and bridges were implanted at 4 and 8 wpi. We observed robust axon growth into the bridge and remyelination at 6 months post initial injury. Axon densities were increased for 8 week bridge implantation relative to 4 week bridge implantation\, whereas greater myelination\, particularly by Schwann cells\, was observed with 4 week bridge implantation. Taken together\, these results show the bridges as a great tool to manipulate and investigate the spinal cord microenvironment to improve functional outcomes.

The Hall thrusters (HTs) being flown on the PPE will operate at three times the power of current state-of-the-art HTs and utilize magnetic shielding\, which greatly increase the wear life of the thrusters. Associated with these advances in technical capability are uncertainties regarding the plasma properties of the exhaust plume\, particularly the low density plume exiting sideways from the thrusters. To better predict the erosive power of the plasma plume and how the plume might interact with the PPE and future spacecraft\, NASA is flying the Plasma Diagnostics Package (PDP). The PDP data will refine plasma models for predicting the behavior of high-power HT systems on future missions. This presentation will describe a brief history of the PDP project\, basic Hall thruster plume physics\, the plasma physics behind the PDP sensor design\, and current status of the PDP project.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nWensheng Huang received a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2011 and BS degrees in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2006. His dissertation was on the use of optical diagnostics to study Hall thruster erosion under the tutelage of Prof. Alec D. Gallimore. Wensheng is currently a researcher in the Electric Propulsion Systems branch at the NASA Glenn Research Center. He is the Principle Investigator for the Plasma Diagnostics Package (PDP) that will be flying on the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE)\, the first element of NASA's Moon-orbiting Gateway. He is also the diagnostics lead for the Solar Electric Propulsion Hall thruster project\, which will also be flying on the PPE.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

The Turkish language works of Yunus Emre\, Kaygusuz Abdal and the hagiography of Otman Baba allows us to situate saintly figures who functioned in the Turkish vernacular into the larger historical context of Islamic cultural history of Anatolia. In the process\, I identify and describe in broad strokes the fault lines that ran between saintly figures/Sufis who expressed themselves primarily\, even exclusively\, in the Turkish vernacular and other Sufi and non-Sufi Muslim learned elites who foregrounded their expertise in Arabic and Persian instead\, even when they composed their works in Turkish.\n\nAhmet T. Karamustafa is Professor of History at the University of Maryland\, College Park. His expertise is in the social and intellectual history of Sufism in particular and Islamic piety in general from the tenth through the fifteenth century. His publications include God’s Unruly Friends(University of Utah Press\, 1994) and Sufism: The Formative Period (Edinburgh University Press & University of California Press\, 2007). He is currently working on a book project titled Vernacular Islam: Everyday Muslim Religious Life in Medieval Anatolia (co-authored with Cemal Kafadar) as well as a monograph on the history of early medieval Sufism titled The Flowering of Sufism.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor of the building.

This conference will convene international experts and practitioners to examine how these core functions contribute to financial inclusion\, poverty allevation\, and a more inclusive economy – and what could be improved.\n\nThe conference contributes to a research initiative undertaken by the University of Michigan’s Center on Finance\, Law & Policy\, in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to consider how the role of a central bank could evolve in the future and enable central banks to make greater contributions toward financial inclusion. Ultimately\, the research intends to identify technologies\, processes\, or tools that could benefit a central bank in supporting public policy objectives related to inclusion\, and consider whether other sectors\, including philanthropy\, might have a role to play in supporting the development of those tools. \n\nRegistration to the event is free.

Audiovisual content\, graphic interfaces\, and different types of visualizations employed in new forms of presentation and publication (e.g. websites\, blogs\, online databases\, 3D worlds) do not conform with existing concepts of scholarship\, and established practices of evaluation. Bringing together 3D model making (scholarship more generally) and the work of digital scholarly editions (DSE) is in fact new\, and not a series of scholarly theories and practices that have been previously deployed in the digital humanities. Although these digital vehicles powerfully disseminate and engage with scholarship\, scholars who implement these ‘new’ modalities are confronted by “the same old\,” established mechanisms with which to gauge ‘impact’ among one’s scholarly peers\, i.e. within traditional and long-established publications. Interactive 3D visualization\, despite its long tradition in humanities research\, is still faced with skepticism and hesitation\, not only because of the constant technological shifts and exigencies and the fragile ecosystem within which projects are being developed\, but also due to their non-conventional nature that does not adhere to established “norms” and metrics. Nieves will discuss the challenges of doing social justice based work\, in digital humanities\, while also providing new methods and platforms for dissemination in the Global South. He is currently working on a digital book project entitled\, Apartheid Heritages: A Spatial History of South Africa’s Township’s (www.apartheidheritages.org)\, now under consideration at Stanford University Press as part of their Mellon Foundation-funded digital publishing initiatives. \n\n\nBio\n\nAngel David Nieves\, Ph.D. is Professor of History & Digital Humanities (in the Area of Excellence in Digital Humanities and Global Diversity) at San Diego State University (SDSU) and Co-Director of their Digital Humanities Initiative (DHI).

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nCreativity is responsible for all human progress. Unfortunately\, powerful forces in most classroom\, workplace\, and home environments can kill the motivation for creativity. In this interactive session\, Harvard Professor Teresa Amabile will describe the science underlying these discoveries\, as well as the science behind keeping creativity alive. The audience will leave with tips and tools for nurturing their own creativity and facilitating creative growth in their children\, students\, and work colleagues.\n\nAbout Amabile:\nTeresa Amabile has researched and written about creativity for over 40 years. Beginning with a series of papers in the 1970s and 1980s\, she was instrumental in establishing the social psychology of creativity – the study of how the social environment can influence creative behavior\, primarily by influencing motivational state. \n\nAmabile’s research has examined individual creativity and productivity\, team creativity\, and organizational innovation. This program of research has yielded a comprehensive theory of creativity and innovation\; methods for assessing creativity\, motivation\, and the work environment\; and a set of prescriptions for maintaining and stimulating both individual creativity and organizational innovation. \n\nHer more recent research investigated how everyday life inside organizations can influence people and their performance by affecting inner work life\, the confluence of motivation\, emotion\, and perceptions. She is currently studying retirement and post-employment life\, including the impact of creative activities on attitudes toward aging and experiences in later life.\n\nAmabile’s scholarly work has appeared in a variety of psychology and organizational behavior journals\, as well as her 2011 book (with Steven Kramer)\, The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy\, Engagement\, and Creativity at Work. She has presented her work to audiences in a variety of settings\, including Pixar\, Genentech\, TEDx Atlanta\, Apple\, and The World Economic Forum in Davos. \n\nIn 2018\, Amabile received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Organizational Behavior Division of the Academy of Management\, the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Israel Organizational Behavior Conference\, and the Distinguished Scholar Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. In 2011 and 2013\, she was named to the global Thinkers50 list. \n\nAmabile holds a BS in Chemistry from Canisius College and a PhD in psychology from Stanford University.\n\nHost: \nJulia Lee\, Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations\n\nSponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks University of Michigan Organizational Learning\, Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, Samuel Zell & Robert H.

Brazil under Bolsonaro: What Is Emerging? What Is Submerging? DESCRIPTION:Moderator: Robert Jansen\, associate professor of sociology\, U-M. Presenters: Guilherme Casarões\, lecturer in international relations\, Fundação Getúlio Vargas São Paulo Business School (FGV EAESP)\; Marília Corrêa\, WCED Postdoctoral Fellow\, U-M\; Benjamin Lessing\, assistant professor of political science\, University of Chicago.\n\nBrazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro became notable to the public as a controversial right-wing congressman. His brash criticism of left-wing politicians\, praise of military dictatorship\, support of pension reform and privatizations\, defense of the “traditional Brazilian family\,” and the promise to address Brazil’s rampant crime rates through violent policing helped him gain the support of many conservative segments. Meanwhile\, during his first nine months in office\, his government is already facing criticism for his divisive rhetoric\, attacks on the press\, laxing of environmental regulations\, and cuts to education\, leading many public figures to denounce him as an authoritarian figure. In this panel\, Benjamin Lessing\, Guilherme Casarões\, and Marilia Corrêa will discuss different aspects of Bolsonaro’s government and Brazil’s current political landscape. \n\nRobert Jansen is a comparative-historical sociologist with substantive interests in politics\, culture\, and memory. He has recently completed a book on the historical emergence of populist mobilization in early twentieth century Peru. He is currently working on a project on the history of historic preservationism in the United States.\n\nGuilherme Casarões is a lecturer at the Fundação Getúlio Vargas São Paulo Business School (FGV EAESP). He holds a Ph.D. and an M.A. in political science from the University of São Paulo and an M.A. in international relations from the State University of Campinas. He has authored many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on Brazilian foreign policy and Latin American politics. Among his publications are “Brazil First\, Climate Last: Bolsonaro’s Foreign Policy” (GIGA Latin America Focus\, 2019)\; “The Evolution of Brazilian Foreign Policy Studies: Four Perspectives” (Routledge Handbook of Brazilian Politics\, 2018)\; “Itamaraty’s Mission” (Cairo Review of Global Affairs\, 2014)\; and “Itamaraty on the Move” (Bulletin of Latin American Research\, 2013). He has been a visiting fellow at Tel Aviv University and Brandeis University.\n\nMarília Corrêa is a WCED Postdoctoral Fellow for 2019-21. She received her Ph.D. in history at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign in 2019. Her dissertation\, titled “Unusual Suspects: Persecuted Officers and Soldiers Under Military Rule in Brazil\, 1964–1985\,” studies the military dictatorship in Brazil\, examining the life trajectories of armed forces officers and soldiers who did not support the 1964 coup. Focusing on the perspectives of these expelled soldiers\, she examines how they remember their expulsions from the military\, life during the dictatorship\, and the ways in which their experiences and the memory they created affected these men socially and culturally. Her dissertation is situated at the intersection of political\, social\, and gender history\, as well as at the history of memory\, law\, and human rights of Latin America in the context of the Cold War. Her research has been funded by the Tinker Foundation\, the Nelle M. Signor Graduate Scholarship in International Relations\, the Illinois Program for Research in Humanities and the Lemann Institute for Brazilian Studies.\n\nBenjamin Lessing\, assistant professor of political science at the University of Chicago\, studies \"criminal conflict\"—organized violence involving armed groups that do not seek formal state power\, such as drug cartels\, prison gangs\, and paramilitaries. His first book\, \"Making Peace In Drug Wars\" (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics\, 2017)\, examines armed conflict between drug cartels and the state in Colombia\, Mexico and Brazil. Lessing has also founded the Criminal Governance in the Americas project\, which is measuring the extent and intensity of gang rule over civilian populations throughout Latin America\, and is co-director of the Project on Political Violence at Chicago. Lessing has also studied gang-state negotiations and armed electioneering by paramilitary groups. Prior to his doctoral work at UC Berkeley\, Lessing lived in Rio de Janeiro for five years\, first as a Fulbright scholar\, later conducting field research on arms trafficking in Latin America and the Caribbean for non-governmental organizations including Amnesty International\, Oxfam\, and Viva Rio\, Brazil’s largest NGO.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

A History of Coffee in Three Cups DESCRIPTION:Do you know where you coffee came from? If you're at Zingerman's Coffee Company\, probably yes.

And what happened when it got there?\n \n Join us for a conversation with Casey Lurtz\, author of the recent book From the Grounds Up: Building an Export Economy in Southern Mexico. We'll talk about how coffee spread outward from Eastern Africa and how its introduction reshaped local societies and economies. Looking at the multiplicity of ways in which coffee has been grown\, we'll think beyond roasting and brewing to understand how the histories of where coffee is cultivated flavor our morning cup.\n \n This talk will be paired with sample tastings of three distinctive coffees brewed at Zingerman's Coffee Company.\n \n ***Please note this event takes place at Zingerman's Coffee Company at 3723 Plaza Dr. #5\, Ann Arbor (near Costco). This is not the same as the Zingerman's Next Door Cafe or Deli in Kerrytown.\n\nCosponsors: African Studies Center and Zingerman's Coffee Company UID:67270-16831228@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67270 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,International,Latin America,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190812T103949 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191002T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Andrea Gibson DESCRIPTION:Andrea Gibson has proven to be one of the most quotable and influential poets of our time and has made a career at the forefront of the spoken-word movement.
