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:63992-16059364@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:20191004T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191004T180000 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.

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.

Posterior contraction rates are given under optimal transport distances for two popular types of prior specification: one requires explicitly a prior distribution on the number of mixture components\, and a nonparametric Bayesian approach which places a prior on the space of mixing distributions. Paraphrasing George Box\, all mixture models are misspecified\, but some may be more interpretable than others — it will be shown that the modeling choice of kernel density functions plays perhaps the most impactful roles in determining the posterior contraction rates in the misspecified situations. Drawing on concrete parameter estimation rates I will highlight some aspects about the interesting tradeoffs between model expressiveness and interpretability that a statistical modeler must negotiate in the rich world of mixture modeling. \nThis work is joint with Aritra Guha and Nhat Ho.

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.

During a 23-year career with the Clements\, Brian Dunnigan has served as curator of maps\, head of research and publications\, associate director\, and acting director. Daily contact with the collections has inspired reflections on some of the things that the Clements does very well\, driving his exhibit themes around active collecting\, conservation\, solving mysteries\, and more. \n\nDunnigan’s selections include poignant manuscripts\, striking visual imagery and cartography\, and some of his favorite materials from the collections\, drawing especially from his expertise in the mapping of the Great Lakes. This valedictory exhibit in the Clements’s soaring Avenir Foundation Reading Room dwells on seven areas of commitment and illustrates the concepts with some of the Library's most evocative and handsome holdings.

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:58562-14511279@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:63803-15884078@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:63627-15820750@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:20191004T181807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191004T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191004T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988385@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191004T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191004T170000 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.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

Nevertheless\, there are large individual differences in these declines: some older adults experience severe cognitive declines that impact their daily living and often are early markers of pathology\, while others experience only mild impairments and lead a relatively healthy life. Understanding the neural bases of individual differences during aging is imperative in designing future interventions to slow\, or even reverse some age-related cognitive impairments. My talk will focus on the cause and consequences of two such neural changes: age-related decline in neural distinctiveness and brain signal variability.

Several new conceptual models exist for peridotite-hosted life on Earth and other rocky bodies in our solar system\, such as Europa\, Enceladus and Mars. However\, there are many questions regarding how\, when and where organisms can harness the energy derived from peridotite/water interactions\, and what products of biological activity might be produced\, in terms of new minerals\, organic compounds and gases. In this talk\, I will present multidisciplinary efforts designed to assess the key (bio)geochemical processes occurring during modern water/rock interaction in the Samail ophiolite\, Oman\, and the strategies being used to determine controls on the distribution\, composition and function of the subsurface peridotite-hosted biosphere. In particular\, I will focus on the mineral transformations that give rise to hydrogen production at low-temperatures\, followed by the evidence for biological methane production\, even under extreme conditions of carbon and energy limitation.

Seminal work on children’s processing of garden path sentences supported this claim by demonstrating that children – like adults – incrementally interpret sentences\, but struggle with reanalysis. However\, more recent research has begun to provide counter evidence to this claim by examining new structures. If these mechanisms are not innate\, how do children learn to process sentences like adults? I will address these issues by providing evidence that these long held beliefs about children’s sentence processing do not hold in all cases\, using the processing of filler-gap dependencies as the main example\, and to discuss the possibility that syntactic priming may serve as a possible learning mechanism for adult-like processing behaviors.

Busby\, Oak Ridge National Laboratory DESCRIPTION:Dr. Busby is the Division Director for the Reactor and Nuclear Systems Division in the Nuclear Science and Engineering Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His contributions range from light water reactors to sodium reactors and space reactor systems as well as research in support of the ITER project. Dr. Busby is the recipient of the 2019 NERS Alumni Merit Award.\n\n\nHis research is focused on materials performance and development of materials for nuclear reactor applications. While at ORNL\, he has participated in materials research efforts for space reactors\, fusion machines\, advanced fast reactors\, and light water reactors. Ultimately\, his research will enable the development of operating criteria for structural materials in a variety of adverse environments that will allow for design and operation of safe\, reliable\, and cost-effective nuclear systems.\n\nDr. Busby was the lead for the Materials Aging and Degradation Pathway for the DOE – Office of Nuclear Energy Light Water Reactor Sustainability Research and Development program from 2009 to 2015. This program was charged with supporting both the nuclear industry and regulatory bodies in a careful evaluation of the potential for power plant life extension beyond the 60-year performance period. Dr. Busby was responsible for research spanning reactor core internals\, pressure vessel materials\, piping\, cabling and concrete. A particular highlight was his leadership in the development of a detailed expert panel analysis of gaps and research needs for operating power plants\, called the “Expanded Materials Degradation Assessment”. This was published in 2013 as a Nuclear Regulatory Commission document and included input from four expert panels comprised of 40+ world experts from academia\, laboratories\, regulators\, and industry. It is still utilized today as a roadmap for research priority planning. He also led the Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies Materials Cross-cut effort in addition to participation in several nuclear industry-sponsored research tasks. \n\nAs PI for the DOE Office of Science ITER Program\, he led an investigation into the feasibility of utilizing an innovative cast austenitic stainless steel (SS) for the first wall structure of the international ITER project. The ORNL team utilized advanced computational thermodynamics modeling to successfully devise a cast SS within the internationally approved chemical composition limits for the ITER stainless steel with a tensile strength comparable to wrought stainless steel (>50% improvement in strength over the cast stainless steel previously developed by industry)\, without compromising other properties. In 2010\, Dr. Busby received the Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering following this effort for “excellence in research leading to the development of high performance cast stainless steels\, a critical part of the U.S. Contributions to ITER project\, and for his mentoring of students both as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan and at ORNL.” \n\nIn 2011\, he was awarded a Secretary of Energy Achievement Awards for contributions to DOE’s response to Fukushima. The American Nuclear Society presented Dr. Busby with the Landis Young Member Achievement award in 2006 and\, in 2007 he received the ORNL Early Career Award for Engineering Accomplishment for his leadership in the cast stainless steel effort. \n\nHe is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan and has developed and taught his own graduate level course in materials degradation and performance for fission and fusion reactors. He also is heavily involved in the leadership of many professional society activities.

Engaging with literatures on materiality\, the nonhuman\, affect\, weather/climate\, and atmospheres\, Gordillo's argument builds from campesino experiences of deforestation\, wind\, fumigation\, and heatwaves in northern Argentina and from a comparative phenomenology of atmospheric disruptions elsewhere in the world. Gordillo shows that the atmosphere can “thicken” in very different ways and that this density is experienced unevenly depending on class\, racial\, gender\, and cultural backgrounds.Gordillo also highlight that the unsettling thickening of the air created by events such as heatwaves or forest fires brings to light the nonhuman materiality of the planet’s terrain and the urgency of radical change to confront the climate emergency.

From the Soviet Gulag to Franco’s Spain: Historical Fiction’s Power for Global Dialogue DESCRIPTION:4-5 pm: Meet the author\, signed books available for purchase\n5:30-6:45 pm: CREES Distinguished Lecture\n7 pm: Screening of \"Ashes in the Snow\" \n\nWhat determines how history is preserved and recalled? Why do some stories become part of the collective consciousness while others remain untold?\n\nIn this lecture\, Sepetys will examine the fragile tension between history and memory as well as story and historical fiction as a framework for human understanding. She will discuss the power of family narrative and witness testimony and her approach for creating fiction from facts. Published in over sixty countries\, Sepetys will present the varying global interpretations and teaching methods of the history contained in her books on World War II and its aftermath for Lithuanians\, Poles\, and Germans\, to illustrate how the historical fiction genre —and the human dynamics surrounding historical events—might be used to facilitate awareness\, dialogue\, and progress. \n \nThe lecture will be followed by a screening of “Ashes in the Snow\,” Marius A. Markevicius\, director (98 min.\, 2018)\, based on the novel \"Between Shades of Gray\,\" by Ruta Sepetys. https://www.michtheater.org/show/ashes-in-the-snow/\n\nRuta Sepetys (Rūta Šepetys) is an internationally acclaimed\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of historical fiction published in over sixty countries and forty languages. Sepetys is considered a “crossover” novelist as her books are read by both students and adults worldwide. Winner of the Carnegie Medal\, Ruta is renowned for giving voice to underrepresented history and those who experienced it. Her books have won or been shortlisted for over forty book prizes\, are included on over thirty state reading lists\, and are currently in development for film and television.\n\nRuta is the daughter of a Lithuanian refugee. Born in Michigan\, she was raised in a family of artists\, readers\, and music lovers. Ruta is passionate about the power of history and story to foster global dialogue and connectivity.

Stamps School of Art & Design\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n  UID:67260-16831191@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67260 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Reception LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191001T090239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191004T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191004T190000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Strengthening Democracy: corruption and the water crisis in India DESCRIPTION:Jayaram Venkatesan is the cofounder of Arappor Iyakkam (Tamil for \"People's association for non-violent struggle\")\, a citizens movement in Tamil Nadu\, India.\n\nJayaram will be discussing Arappor’s fight against corruption and the recent Chennai water crisis.

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\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n  UID:67261-16831192@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,History LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190905T125027 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191005T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191005T113000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Molecularium DESCRIPTION:The new Planetarium & Dome has comfortable seating for 57 visitors and space for up to 9 wheelchairs\, easy-access seats\, and a limited number of hearing assistance devices.

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:58562-14511280@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:63803-15884079@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:63627-15820751@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:20191004T181807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191005T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191005T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988386@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191005T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191005T170000 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.

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.

This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs.

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:63992-16059365@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:20191002T181543 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191005T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191005T150000 SUMMARY:Auditions:Feminist Futures: Art\, Design & Activism Series Kick-off Party + Participatory Performance & Reading DESCRIPTION:Join us for the official kick-off party for the Feminist Futures: Art\, Design & Activism Event Series.

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.

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.

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.

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:63627-15820752@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:20190905T120234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191006T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191006T112000 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\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:58562-14511281@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:63803-15884080@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:63992-16059366@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:20191006T120014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191006T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191006T140000 SUMMARY:Other:Grand Valley State University DESCRIPTION:Michigan vs. GVSU UID:66918-16787696@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66918 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Michigan CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190225T104005 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191006T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191006T163000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Project Management Certification DESCRIPTION:Once again\, the Tauber Institute\, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA)\, is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff. \n\nIn order to participate\, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project\, an engineering design experience/senior capstone\, Ross' MAP project\, Tauber team project\, etc).

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:64118-16163568@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64118 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190925T151325 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191006T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Faculty Recital: Martin Katz\, piano with SMTD alumnus Jesse Blumberg\, baritone DESCRIPTION:Baritone Jesse Blumberg\, an alumnus of SMTD\, joins Prof. Katz as a special guest.

As potential suitors come and go\, so do their hopes for true love. Full of gossip\, humor\, and heart-felt moments\, this classic story examines the effects of societal pressures on love and life. The play Sense and Sensibility premiered in 2014 at New York City’s Bedlam Theater Company\, returning for another\, longer run in 2016\, and was named The New York Times Critic’s Pick for both years.

The reinstallation highlights the breadth and variety of the Museum’s collection and juxtaposes works of art from a diverse set of artists\, periods\, areas\, and media—sometimes in startling ways. The works of art are grouped in scenes between and around the tall white columns of the entry\, and the entire installation becomes a series of distinctive vignettes leaving open for the visitors a range of interpretations.

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 creates patterns within patterns\, representing vertical stacks of rhythms. The undulating forms\, such as water ripples\, oil slicks\, and refuse\, combined with the memories that water evokes\, makes her work eye-opening\, yet soothing and sensual. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1 \n1500 E.

A true Michigander\, Cavanagh was born and raised in Southeast Michigan\, attended U-M\, and currently works in Detroit.

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.

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.

This is the first nonfiction illustrated children’s book about Filipino American history\, and the first book ever written about Larry Itliong. The children’s book written by the late historian Dawn Bohulano Mabalon\, Ph.D. with Gayle Romasanta and illustrated by Andre Sibayan\, tells the story of forgotten United Farm Workers (UFW) cofounder\, Larry Itliong\, his migration to the United States and his lifelong fight for a farmworkers union. The city of Delano\, California\, was the first stop of the national book tour with events held in Seattle\, WA\; New York\; Washington DC\; Anchorage\, AK\; Santa Ana\, CA\; Houston\, TX\; with future stops in Southfield and Ann Arbor\, MI\; Milwaukee\, WI\; Chicago\, IL\; Wapato\, WA\; Virginia Beach\, VA\; Irvine\, San Diego\, Stockton\, SF Bay Area\, CA\; Lancaster and Philadelphia\, PA\; Honolulu\, HI\; and more.\n\n“Journey for Justice is a significant children’s book about a legendary pioneer in the farmworkers movement. This was the last book that FANHS National Scholar and Trustee Dr. Dawn Bohulano Mabalon\, wrote before she passed away suddenly on Aug. 10\, 2018. We are committed to carry on Dawn’s legacy so that people of all ages can learn more about Filipina/o American history. We support this book and strongly encourage everyone to read it and discuss it with their children\, community\, and educators\,” shares University of Michigan Prof. Emily P. Lawsin\, FANHS National Vice President.\n\nCurrently\, Filipino Americans are the largest Asian American group in 10 of the 13 western states\, the second largest Asian American population in the nation\, and is the oldest Asian population in the nation\, with hardly any mention of their contributions to U.S. history in school textbooks. This book will be the first out of a planned series of four books about Filipino American historical figures for students of all ages\, from 10 and up. A free teacher’s curriculum guide created by Pin@y Educational Partnerships is available at www.bridgedelta.com.\n\nBridge and Delta Publisher and Owner Gayle Romasanta and the Filipino American community celebrate and aim to further Dr. Dawn Mabalon’s work to spread Filipino American history\, especially “Journey for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong\,” Mabalon’s last book. Romasanta says\, “She made history accessible and was a revered community activist. She not only was a scholar\, but her work touched the Filipino\n \nAmerican community on a national scale. She not only saved the remaining Filipino neighborhood Little Manila buildings in her hometown of Stockton and named the area ‘Historic Little Manila\,’ she traveled the country speaking and connecting with the community and spreading her wealth of knowledge about American history\, Filipino American food history\, and more. She was the leading Filipino American historian before her untimely passing.”\n\nThe Journey for Justice National Book Tour in Michigan will include a community visit to Paaralang Pilipino Language and Cultural School\, which is housed in the Philippine American Community Center of Michigan\, in Southfield\, and a book signing reception and guest lectures at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor (in WOMENSTD 151/AMCULT/ASIANPAM 102: Women’s Studies First Year Seminar on Food and Gender in Asian American Communities\, and in AMCULT/ASIANPAM 310: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies [Race & Ethnicity-Social Sciences] class on the Filipino American Experience).\n\nWhile the Journey for Justice book celebrates Larry Itliong and the history of the Delano Grape Strike\, it also highlights Dr. Dawn Mabalon’s life work as the co-founder of Little Manila Rising (formerly the Little Manila Foundation)\, Filipino American National Historical Society National Scholar and Trustee\, a San Francisco State University professor\, and author of multiple books including “Little Manila Is In the Heart: The Making of the Filipina/o American Community in Stockton\, California” (Duke University Press\, 2013).\n\nSponsors (Partial List)\nUniversity of Michigan (* = pending confirmation):\n• UM Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies\n• UM Department of American Culture\n• UM Department of Women’s Studies*\n• UM Filipino American Students Association Local Community Sponsors:\n• FANHS Michigan Chapter\n• Filipino Youth Initiative\n• Paaralang Pilipino Language and Cultural School\n• Philippine American Community Center of Michigan\n• FILAMCCO National Sponsors:\n• Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS)\n• Carlos Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies at UC Davis\n• Pin@y Educational Partnerships\n• Little Manila Rising\n• PapaLoDown Agency\n• Bridge + Delta Publishing\n\nFor a Media Kit\, see: http://tinyurl.com/MediaKitJFJ\nFor a Curriculum Guide\, Book Orders and additional information visit www.bridgedelta.com For Event Questions\, Email: FANHS.VP@gmail.com\n\nwww.fanhs-national.org www.paccm.org\n\n#JourneyForJustice #LarryItliong#DawnMabalonIsInTheHeart UID:67249-16829024@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67249 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:American Culture,Anthropology,Asia,Asian/pacific Islander American Studies,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Free,History,Humanities,Interdisciplinary,International,Multicultural LOCATION:Haven Hall - 3512 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190903T145927 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T124500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Lying and Deception in Games DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThis article proposes definitions of lying\, deception\, and damage in strategic settings. Lying depends on the existence of accepted meanings for messages\, but does not require a model of how the audience responds to messages. Deception does require a model of how the audience interprets messages\, but does not directly refer to consequences. Damage requires consideration of the consequences of messages. Lies need not be deceptive. Deception does not require lying. Lying and deception are compatible with equilibrium. I give conditions under which deception must be damaging.

Why do these films have an impact on the development of the cinema while others drop quickly into oblivion? In other words\, why are some films “classics” and what do we mean by the term “classic” to begin with? \nLet’s take a look at the following film classics and respond to those questions: Grand illusion (France\, 1937)\; The African Queen (USA\, 1951)\; Touch of Evil (USA\, 1958)\; Late Spring (Japan\, 1949)\; Chinatown (USA\, 1974)\; and Groundhog Day (USA\, 1993).

Libraries and Mobilities DESCRIPTION:The 2019 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is \"Migration in the Islamicate World.\" \n \nWe make many assumptions about libraries such as they are fixed spaces\, fairly secure and often large buildings. There are private libraries that are smaller and could simply occupy a single floor or room. But a definite space comes to mind\, not immediately mobility of the books between at least two places. However we think of these spaces we seldom figure mobility or movement into our thinking about libraries\, archives or collections. Perhaps with the recent rise of online book shopping we might begin to rethink things and reflect on how books travel (from depository to buyer\, at least). But books have always travelled. All forms of “shipping” have been used to carry them long before the modern courier companies. Yet the circulation of the material book is not a subject of much thinking or research it would seem. And with the transport books\, they also disappear\, parts or volumes go missing\, they find new homes\, and they might reappear in surprising places. Sometimes the transfer is simply an act of theft or a by-product of conquest. In this talk I look at episodes in the book history of Northwest Africa that points to a long tradition of book buying and selling and lending over vast spaces. Nomadism is part of the fabric of this region and this included scholars and books. \n \nShamil Jeppie is Associate Professor in the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Cape Town.

Sign-tracking is often contrasted with goal-tracking\, which is cue-triggered approach directed toward the location of reward delivery. Interest in sign-tracking has increased in recent years because individual variation in sign-tracking has been shown to predict addiction-like behaviors in animals. Though sign-tracking has been observed in a wide variety of species\, including rodents\, primates\, fish\, cephalopods\, and insects\, there have been very few attempts to document sign-tracking in humans. We directly translated a rat task for human subjects\, using a retractable lever as a conditioned stimulus that predicts reward delivery into a different physical location (reward magazine). Physical contacts as well as eye-gaze directed toward the lever or magazine were recorded as outcome measures. Subjects also completed questionnaire-based measurements of trait impulsivity. We hope to demonstrate that sign- and goal-tracking behavior can be measured in humans. Furthermore\, we will test whether inter-individual variation in sign- and goal-tracking behavior correlates with motor impulsivity\, which is a known risk factor for addiction.

Systematic as they otherwise can be in their work\, they go at it intuitively or haphazardly\, with much good will but seldom good results. In this talk\, Dr. Doumont proposes a systematic way to prepare and deliver an oral presentation: he covers structure\, slides\, and delivery\, as well as stage fright.\n\nBio:\nAn engineer from the Louvain School of Engineering and PhD in applied physics from Stanford University\, Jean-luc Doumont now devotes his time and energy to training engineers\, scientists\, business people\, and other rational minds in effective communication\, pedagogy\, statistical thinking\, and related themes. With his rational background\, he approaches communication in an original\, engineering- like way that contrasts sharply with the tradition of the field\, rooted in the humanities. He is thus well received by students and professionals in search of a method they can apply with the same rigor they have come to value in every other aspect of their occupations. Articulate\, entertaining\, and thought-provoking\, he is a popular invited speaker worldwide\, in particular at international scientific conferences\, research laboratories\, and top-ranked universities. He is happy to deliver his lectures in English\, Spanish\, French\, or Dutch.

This information has been used in many searches for distinguishing between different types of jets\, but it has been challenging to produce theoretical predictions for these substructure observables due to the presence of non-global logarithms. Recent advances in jet grooming algorithms have made it possible to produce calculations beyond leading logarithmic accuracy for jet substructure observables for the first time at a hadron collider. I will discuss the measurement of the Soft Drop jet mass using data from the ATLAS experiment\, which was the first measurement of a substructure observable which could be compared to theoretical predictions beyond leading logarithmic accuracy. I will then discuss the implications of this work\, including the possibilities for Monte Carlo tuning as well as measurements of Standard Model parameters.\n UID:67013-16796440@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67013 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191001T152010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mechanics of earthquakes: extreme location\, frictional instability\, and fluid effects DESCRIPTION:Many seismological studies interpret earthquake sources as shear cracks and use concepts of fracture mechanics to shed light on earthquake source processes. This approach is partially justified by extreme localization of shear deformation on mature faults in the earth’s crust\, with kilometers of relative plate motion sometimes accommodated by millimeter-wide shear layers filled with micrometer-sized rock particles. The presentation will discuss recent progress in using laboratory-derived shear resistance laws in the presence of pore fluids for numerical elastodynamic simulations of earthquake source processes and the associated insights\, including similarities and differences with the traditional fracture mechanics interpretations UID:67679-16915708@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67679 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Civil and Environmental Engineering,Energy,Engineering,Graduate and Professional Students,Graduate Students,Mechanical Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:Gorguze Family Laboratory - 107 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T164402 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191007T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Pre-med Information Session DESCRIPTION:Hello LSA Honors Program students!\n\nAre you considering a career in medicine or in another health care profession and wondering where to get started?

On the other hand\, the initiation of that silencing in the first place\, especially for DNA that is “new” to the genome\, is not well understood. Although the propagation of epigenetic silencing is based on the chromatin level\, our data in the powerful model plant Arabidopsis demonstrates that de novo initiation of transposable element and transgene silencing is based on RNA\, and utilizes a host of small RNA classes that function specifically in the initiation of silencing to guide the first round of DNA methylation. I plan to present my ongoing work on the molecular mechanisms of silencing initiation\, focusing on the key RNA-dependent processes necessary to initiate epigenetic silencing.

What are the flaws of a decolonial theory that regards a materialist perspective while occluding the spirit of the mind and body? It is as if the method and the theory exist in parallel universes\, never to touch or entice each other but instead battle in a false binary. And yet\, we cannot have theory without method\; we cannot have a materialist\, grounded “real” critique without the affective body\, without the people who feel\, who touch\, who experience and imagine other ways of being. The imagination\, after all\, is the door to creativity\, to other ways of being and knowing. Overall\, the real without the imaginary lacks vision and affirms a two- dimensional\, uninspired ontology and epistemology. I’m posing the “will to feel” as a mode that reasserts the imaginary within the decolonial. Ultimately\, can the “will to feel” transform us and the toxic world we inhabit in the 21st century? \n\nThere will be a light reception following the lecture.\n\nDr. Emma Pérez earned a PhD in history from the University of California\, Los Angeles. In 2017\, she joined the University of Arizona as a Research Social Scientist at the Southwest Center and a Professor in the Department of Gender/Women’s Studies.

Empire’s territorial expansion during the Roman Imperial era (1st – 2nd centuries CE) facilitated such movement(s)\, but also had a deep impact on various authors of that era\, like Tacitus\, Martial\, and Juvenal\, who frame their narratives of empire and political and cultural change in comparable materialist terms. This talk explores how notions of globalization\, network activity\, movement\, mapping\, and the theoretical concept of the rhizome constitute a cognitive toolkit from which to assess and reconcile the literary reflections of space (territorial\, cultural) and flows (of people and ideas) expressed by these same authors.\n\nBio: Osman Umurhan is Associate Professor of Classics at the University of New Mexico (PhD Classics\, New York University\, 2008). Umurhan’s research interests and areas of publication include Roman verse satire\, globalization\, mobility\, empire\, and musical\, cinematic\, and mathematical receptions of antiquity. Following the 2018 publication of his monograph Juvenal’s Global Awareness: Circulation\, Connectivity\, and Empire\, his forthcoming co-edited volume Classical Antiquity in Heavy Metal Music is due out in early October. His current project explores applications of the spatial turn and the social sciences on Roman formulations of space and place and across Roman literary genres.

Change Over Time? Fracture and Reconciliation in Natural Science Infrastructure DESCRIPTION:Scientists in the natural histories create the frameworks\, calendars and infrastructures that allow us to understand and grapple with \"deep time\" -- but they do so within their own temporally complex scholarly settings: they draw on classification systems that are constantly facing revision and methodological revolution\; database systems that simultaneously face forced obsolescence and true decay\; and data collections in need of maintenance and migration. In this talk\, I consider the rhythms of fracture and reconciliation in the data infrastructure in the natural sciences. This talk draws on Thomer's on-going work with the “Transforming Taxonomic Interfaces” and “Migrating Research Data Collections” projects.\n\nBio: Andrea Thomer is an assistant professor of information at the University of Michigan School of Information. She conducts research in the areas of data curation\, museum informatics\, earth science and biodiversity informatics\, information organization\, and computer supported cooperative work. She is especially interested in how people use and create data and metadata\; the impact of information organization on information use\; issues of data provenance\, reproducibility\, and integration\; and long-term data curation and infrastructure sustainability. She is studying a number of these issues through the \"Migrating Research Data Collections\" project - a recently awarded Laura Bush 21st Century Librarianship Early Career Research Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Dr. Thomer received her doctorate in Library and Information Science from the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana‐Champaign in 2017.

This many-to-many mapping injects noise into both the data and ground truth. As a result\, many of the models and assumptions used in traditional machine learning and signal processing must be used with caveats or adapted to meet the needs of this domain. I will discuss our work on algorithmic approaches to characterize and predict how humans perceive signals that modulate spoken communication\, focusing on emotion and mood. I will highlight our efforts in tracking mood for individuals with bipolar disorder. These technologies have the potential to forward diagnosis and treatment by providing constrained\, repeatable\, and easily modifiable assessment protocols\, objective measures\, and interaction scenarios.\n\nEmily Mower Provost is an Associate Professor in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Stasys Eidrigevičius: Collages DESCRIPTION:*The juxtaposition of fragments creates original\, unexpected\, and often surrealist images that unlock a new imaginary universe.*\n\nStasys Eidrigevičius\, often referred to simply as “Stasys\,” was born in Mediniskiai\, Lithuania in 1949. He studied at the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts before moving to Warsaw in 1980 where he established a reputation as a world-renowned artist. A master of many techniques as an illustrator\, book cover designer\, sculptor\, painter\, and photographer\, Stasys is perhaps best known for his graphics and poster art. He has exhibited in the United States\, Switzerland\, Japan\, Great Britain\, Spain\, France\, Germany and many other countries. \n\nStasys is the recipient of numerous international prizes and medals in various fields of artistic activity including: the Grand Prize at the International Book Illustration Contest in Barcelona (1986)\; Gold Medal at the International Poster Festival in Chicago (1987)\; Silver Medal at the 2nd International Exhibition of Graphic Art in New York (1988)\; Grand Prize at the 1st International Biennial Exhibition of Book Illustration in Belgrade (1990) and Bratislava (1991)\; Grand Prize at the International Salon of Poster in Paris (1993)\; Gold Medal at the 4th International Triennial of Poster in Toyama (Japan\, 1994)\; and at the Polish Poster Biennale in Katowice (1999).

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:63992-16059368@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:20191008T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T180000 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.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770226@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191001T091151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melody of Nostalgia: Sand Tapete & Ofrendas for Día de los Muertos alongside works in acrylic on canvas DESCRIPTION:Visiting Artist Fulgencio Lazo will work with U-M students and community members to design and create two tapetes\, or carpets of colored sand for Mexican Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations.

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.

Stamps School of Art & Design\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness.

Massman Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences at the University of Notre Dame. He obtained his B.S. (1979) and M.S. (1981) degrees in Civil Engineering at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Ph.D. (1984) degree in Civil Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.\n\nWesterink develops high resolution heterogeneous unstructured mesh\, multi-physics\, multi-scale hydrodynamic codes and models for the hydrodynamics of the coastal ocean and has successfully transitioned these to practitioners for a wide range of applications including the analysis and design of major flood control projects and coastal ocean water level forecasting systems. Westerink has pioneered the successful use of global to channel scale highly heterogeneous unstructured mesh coastal ocean models with mesh resolution varying by up to four orders of magnitude. This encompasses the optimization of algorithms\; development of high performance codes in vector and parallel computing environments\; the linkages of circulation models to weather and short wind wave models\; model verification\, validation\, and uncertainty quantification\; and the application of codes to oceans\, continental shelf regions\, estuaries\, rivers\, and coastal flood plains. Westerink is the co-developer\, with Rick Luettich of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Clint Dawson of the University of Texas at Austin\, of the widely used ADCIRC finite element based shallow water equation code. ADCIRC has evolved into a community based coastal hydrodynamics code with wide ranging applications within academia\, government\, and the private sector worldwide. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers\, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration all use ADCIRC in support of coastal water level and flooding analyses and forecasts.\n\nWesterink was a team co-lead in the U.S. Army’s Interagency Performance Evaluation Taskforce (IPET) investigation of the Hurricane Katrina (2005) flooding failures in Louisiana. He led ADCIRC storm surge model development for the USACE’s New Orleans and vicinity Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System. He also led the ADCIRC model development for the FEMA Flood Insurance Studies in coastal Louisiana and Texas. He served as a commissioner on the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority and has served as an advisor for the UNESCO Joint WMO-IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology on Enhancing Forecasting Capabilities for North Indian Ocean Storm Surges. He currently serves as an International Advisory Board Member of CIGIDEN\, Chile’s National Research Center for Integrated Natural Disaster Management.\n\nWesterink’s current research includes: the development of high order h-p adaptive Discontinuous Galerkin based coastal circulation codes\; incorporating phase resolving wave processes including run-up directly into circulation codes\; understanding resonant basin and shelf modes and shelf dissipation processes\; incorporating local rainfall and small scale channel routing capabilities into shallow water based codes\; sea ice interaction with wind waves and circulation\; and downscaling global ocean models into global high resolution coastal models to account for baroclinicity and sea level fluctuations. Current applications regions include developing the next generation of ESTOFS water level forecast models for NOAA focusing on Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands\; the U.S. East and Gulf coasts\, and Alaska.\n\nAbout the presentation: \nHurricane wind wave\, storm surge\, and current environments in the coastal ocean and adjacent coastal floodplain are characterized by their high energy and by their spatial variability. These processes impact offshore energy assets\, navigation\, ports and harbors\, deltas\, wetlands\, and coastal communities. The potential for an enormous catastrophic impact in terms of loss of life and economic losses is substantial.\n\nComputational models for wind waves and storm driven currents and surge must provide a high level of grid resolution\, fully couple the wind wave and long wave processes\, and perform quickly for risk assessment\, flood mitigation system design\, and forecasting purposes. In order to accomplish this\, high performance scalable codes are essential. To this end\, we have developed an MPI based domain decomposed unstructured grid framework that minimizes global communications\, efficiently handles localized sub-domain to sub-domain communication\, applies a local inter-model paradigm with all model to model communications being kept on identical cores for sub-domains\, and carefully manages output by assigning specialized cores for this purpose. Continuous Galerkin (CG) and Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) implementations are examined. Performance of explicit and implicit implementations of the wave-current coupled system on up to 32\,000 cores for various platforms is evaluated. \n\nThe system has been extensively validated with an ever increasing amount of wave\, water level and current data that has being collected for recent storms including Hurricanes Katrina (2005)\, Rita (2005)\, Gustav (2008)\, Ike (2008)\, and Sandy (2012). The modeling system helps understand the physics of hurricane storm surges including processes such as geostrophically driven forerunner\, shelf waves that propagate far away from the storm\, wind wave – surge interaction\, surge capture and propagation by protruding deltaic river systems\, the influence of storm size and forward speed\, and frictionally controlled inland penetration.\n\nThese models are being applied by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in the development of the recently completed hurricane risk reduction system in Southern Louisiana as well as for the development of FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMS) for Texas\, Louisiana\, Mississippi\, and other Gulf and Atlantic coast states. NOAA applies the models in extra-tropical and tropical storm surge forecasting. \n\nCurrent development is focused on incorporating a wider range of physics affecting coastal and inland water levels as well as forces on infrastructure including large scale baroclinically driven processes\, rainfall runoff in upland areas and on the coastal floodplain\, and wave run-up. This is accomplished with an interleafing framework in which heterogeneous models focused on a select range of processes are coupled over the same domain and/or specific targeted equations that are dynamically assigned to changing portions of the domain as appropriate to the prevailing flow conditions. This is all done in a dynamically load balanced framework. Algorithmic development is focused on DG solvers\, ideally suited for the associated strongly advective flows\, allow super-parametric elements for p=1 and p=2 and iso-parametric elements for p=3 in order to achieve improved convergence rates and overall runtime efficiency\, and allow for the selection of localized physics on the elemental level.

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:58562-14511282@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:63803-15884081@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:63627-15820753@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:20190923T123119 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T150000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:CEIA Internship & Co-Op Virtual Fair (Nationwide) - CEIA Internship & Co-Op Virtual Fair DESCRIPTION:Students nationwide seeking Internships & Co-ops meet Employers in a Virtual Career Fairhttps://www.careereco.com/Fair/EventDetails?fairId=64329b3b-d26a-46f1-ad17-aa64013d1a29Internships & Co-ops Virtual CareerFairOctober 8\, 2019Event Hours: 11am - 3pm EasternEvent hosted by:Event Sponsors UID:65460-16599599@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65460 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:P.

The other traces the Power family’s seminal role in supporting Inuit art and introducing it to a U.S. audience. Seventy years ago\, neither the Inuit artists nor the Power family could have foreseen the tremendous popularity that this work would come to enjoy. Taking its title from the Inuktitut word for “unexpected\,” this stirring exhibition showcases 58 works from the collection of Philip and Kathy Power\, most from the very early contemporary period of the 1950s and 60s. Included are exquisite sculptures of ivory\, bone\, and stone\, as well as stonecut and stencil prints\, some from the first annual Inuit print collection in 1959. Among the renowned Inuit artists featured in this historic survey are Kenojuak Ashevak\, Lucy Qinnuayuak\, Niviaksiak\, Osuitok Ipeelee\, Kananginak Pootoogook\, and Johnny Inukpuk.\n \nThe exhibition also serves as a promising launch pad for future groundbreaking research\, exhibitions\, and programming related to Inuit art and culture at the University of Michigan\, thanks to the generosity of the Power family.\n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

What would have happened if we had perfect foresight and understanding of the complex interactions between automotive technology and human behavior\, including changes to transportation infrastructure\, urban and suburban design\, energy use\, and American culture? \n \nWhile we cannot go back in time\, we do have the opportunity to explore these types of questions for current emerging technologies that promise to be similarly transformative to society. Estimating human-technology interactions and their associated environmental impacts at an early design stage provides insights into the overall impact of a new technology and offers the greatest opportunities for improvement. \n\nThis talk will present methods to integrate concepts from life cycle assessment\, diffusion of innovations\, and system dynamics to construct future scenarios that identify plausible options for new technology design or policy development. A case study will be explored that evaluates the food-energy-water effects of refrigerated food supply chains (a.k.a. “the cold chain”) introduced within developing countries. The cold chain presents an excellent example to explore sustainable development from a holistic perspective\, including advances in technical innovation\, changes to underlying infrastructure\, and shifts in human behavior and diets. \n\nDr. Miller’s research interests center around the life cycle impacts of emerging energy systems. Recent work focuses on the non-carbon aspects of biofuels\, such as disruptions to the nitrogen cycle and changes in land use. Interests also include advancing Life Cycle Assessment methods to analyze dynamic and emerging systems\, such as hydraulic fracturing in the US and electricity grids in developing countries.\n\nJonathan W.

Roles for striatal plasticity in obesity DESCRIPTION:Abstract: While urges to eat are regulated by hunger\, satiety\, and energy demand\, they are also strongly influenced by sights\, sounds\, and smells that are associated with food (food cues). Dr. Ferrario’s lab examines the neurobiological mechanisms of cue-triggered food craving and how these processes are influenced by consumption of sugary\, fatty\, “junk-food” diets and individual susceptibility to obesity. Her studies use a variety of approaches in preclinical models including behavior\, biochemistry\, and slice electrophysiology. In her talk\, she will discuss how alterations in excitatory transmission within the brain's reward pathway influence cue-triggered food seeking behavior\, and the relationship of these neurobehavioral alterations to aberrant vs. normative reward-seeking behaviors that contribute to obesity.

Many studies have documented reduced fire severity for a standard set of fuel treatments\, but the range of variability in fuel treatment effectiveness for alternative treatment designs is poorly understood. We used nonlinear mixed-effects modeling to estimate the distance into the treated area at which fire severity decreases and randomization tests to compare forest structure. The range of variability in observed-distance high-severity fire effects persist into the treated area and\, in conjunction with estimated relationships between posttreatment forest structure and severity\, can inform the design of alternative fuel treatment prescriptions with various target prescriptions. Our study will inform decision makers on the size of treatments required to accomplish management objectives.

A major challenge is the striking cellular and structural heterogeneity of the tissues and organs in our bodies\, which can be hierarchical\, graded\, and heterogeneous over multiple length and time scales. Prof. Harley’s research program is developing approaches to pattern biomaterials at structural and biomolecular scales to replicate these complex environments. We provide new insight regarding the degree of biomaterial complexity required to investigate cellular processes related to development\, disease\, and regeneration. I will describe a collagen biomaterial being developed to regenerate craniomaxillofacial bones and musculoskeletal insertions. We are using bioinspired design motifs to create composite materials that instruct desired cell activities while retaining mechanical competence required for clinical translation. I will also describe a gelatin hydrogel platform and microfluidic forming techniques we have developed to create libraries of optically-translucent tissue microenvironments containing patterns of cell\, matrix\, biomolecular\, and metabolic cues. We are using these engineered microenvironments to culture hematopoietic stem cells and patient-derived glioblastoma specimens\, the most common and lethal form of brain cancer. I will highlight work that employs this platform to regulate processes such as stem cell self-renewal vs. quiescence\; cell-cell signaling and remodeling of perivascular environments\; as well as to identify microenvironmental signals driving cancer cell invasion and therapeutic resistance.\n\nSHORT BIO\n\nBrendan Harley is a Professor and Robert W.

The tour for those 50 and over will delve into the history and influence of Daniel Defoe’s \"The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\"\, first published in 1719. In the 300 years since its publication\, Defoe’s narrative of shipwreck and survival has captured readers’ imaginations\, inspiring a multitude of adaptations and spin-offs\, and becoming a cultural touchstone. Featuring material from the University of Michigan Library Special Collections Research Center’s Hubbard Imaginary Voyages Collection\, the exhibit explores questions about self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.

Yet what might be gained by shifting attention from the amply documented places where Pentecostal churches flourish to the relatively unknown places where they fail? In this talk\, anthropologist Devaka Premawardhana reflects on the ambivalence with which Pentecostalism has been received by the Makhuwa-speaking people of northern Mozambique. The Makhuwa are not averse to the newly arrived churches. Many relate to them powerfully\, but few remain in them permanently. Premawardhana attributes this religious fluidity to pragmatic and experimental dispositions cultivated by the Makhuwa in their pre-Pentecostal pasts—through migration histories and lifecycle rituals—and carried by them into their post-Pentecostal futures.\n\nBiography\nDevaka Premawardhana’s research and teaching bring ethnographic and existential perspectives to bear on the fields of global Christianity and African religions. He is an anthropologist with extensive fieldwork experience in Makhuwa-speaking communities of Mozambique (in southeast Africa). His first book\, Faith in Flux: Pentecostalism and Mobility in Rural Mozambique\, explores the ambiguities of religious change among a traditionally mobile people. It contests the widely assumed narrative of a worldwide Pentecostal “explosion\,” doing so on the grounds that indigenous religions often remain vibrant and influential—even in the lives of converts.Among other awards and honors\, Premawardhana was named a 2017 Emerging Scholar by Diverse: Issues in Higher Education magazine. He has served on the editorial board of the Encyclopedia of Christianity in the Global South and currently sits on the steering committee of the American Academy of Religion’s African Religions unit. Before joining Emory’s department of religion in 2018\, Premawardhana earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University and taught at Colorado College.Ph.D. in Religion and Anthropology\, Harvard University\, 2014 UID:67986-16977577@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:africa,african diaspora,African Studies,African Studies Center,Religion LOCATION:Haven Hall - 4701 (DAAS Conference Room) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191008T181721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191008T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Quantifying the Impact of State-Mixing on the Rydberg Excitation Blockade DESCRIPTION:The Rydberg excitation blockade\, a process in which interactions among highly-excited atoms suppress laser excitation\, has been at the heart of an impressive array of recent achievements in quantum information and simulation. It has been shown that state-mixing interactions\, which result from couplings among multi particle Rydberg states near Förster resonance\, may compromise the effectiveness of the blockade under otherwise favorable conditions [1]. We present progress on an experiment in which we seek to quantify the negative impact of state-mixing on the blockade. We use state-selective field ionization spectroscopy to measure\, on a shot-by-shot basis\, the distribution of Rydberg states populated during narrowband laser excitation of ultracold rubidium atoms. Our method allows us to quantify both the “mixing-free” blockade effectiveness\, as well as the number of additional Rydberg excitations added by each mixing event.\n\n[1] A.

She explores the notion of “folded time” in which the present disappears through the imperative of cure in the case of Hansen’s disease care. By thinking about the imperative of cure as a time machine that seeks to take us to the past and to the future by universalizing disability experiences and denying coevalness\, Kim explores the possibility of inhabiting in the present with disability and illness. While calling attention to the transnational construction of disability under militarism and imperialism\, Kim argues that the possibility of life with disability that is free from violence depends on the creation of a space and time where cure is understood as a negotiation rather than a necessity.\n\nEunjung Kim is associate professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and Disability Studies Program at Syracuse University. Her book\, Curative Violence (Duke University Press) received Alison Piepmeier Award from the National Women's Studies Association and the James B.

Halaloween: Ritual DESCRIPTION:On October 8th\, 2019\, Ritual will be the second film we screen as a part of 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 8th\, 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: \nOctober 8: Ritual (dir. Joko Anwar\; Indonesia\, 2012): A master class in cinematography and editing for horror movies. The first half of the movie is essentially silent\, as the protagonist regains consciousness in a shallow grave\, learns the gruesome fate of his wife\, and flees an unknown enemy through the pristine Indonesian forest. Who is he? What is the meaning of the mysterious and violent ritual he seems doomed to repeat? The ending only doubles down on the mystery\; this is Lost for horror fans\, but taut\, beautifully paced\, gorgeous and well-acted. The violence is horrific\, but mostly off-screen. Fridged women\; fridged families\; sinister home movies. Smile for the camera! In English.

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:63992-16059369@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:20191024T063035 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:New York Life Employer Office Hours and Interviews (Student-Athletes) DESCRIPTION:Join the conversation about opportunities and financial industry advice with a Michigan based New York Life manager.

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.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770227@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191001T091151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melody of Nostalgia: Sand Tapete & Ofrendas for Día de los Muertos alongside works in acrylic on canvas DESCRIPTION:Visiting Artist Fulgencio Lazo will work with U-M students and community members to design and create two tapetes\, or carpets of colored sand for Mexican Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations.

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\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n  UID:67261-16831194@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,History LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190510T121534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T170000 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\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:58562-14511283@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:63803-15884082@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:63627-15820754@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:20190813T100312 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Capital One Career Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Career Day for Capital One on Wednesday\, October 9\, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.

The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer.

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.

Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

The other traces the Power family’s seminal role in supporting Inuit art and introducing it to a U.S. audience. Seventy years ago\, neither the Inuit artists nor the Power family could have foreseen the tremendous popularity that this work would come to enjoy. Taking its title from the Inuktitut word for “unexpected\,” this stirring exhibition showcases 58 works from the collection of Philip and Kathy Power\, most from the very early contemporary period of the 1950s and 60s. Included are exquisite sculptures of ivory\, bone\, and stone\, as well as stonecut and stencil prints\, some from the first annual Inuit print collection in 1959. Among the renowned Inuit artists featured in this historic survey are Kenojuak Ashevak\, Lucy Qinnuayuak\, Niviaksiak\, Osuitok Ipeelee\, Kananginak Pootoogook\, and Johnny Inukpuk.\n \nThe exhibition also serves as a promising launch pad for future groundbreaking research\, exhibitions\, and programming related to Inuit art and culture at the University of Michigan\, thanks to the generosity of the Power family.\n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

At such low masses\, the usual nuclear recoil picture breaks down\, as the dark matter recoils against individual athermal phonon modes instead. I will show how the rate for these processes can be calculated and why superfluid helium and polar materials are good targets for this type of dark matter. In the latter case the crystal axis can provide a daily modulation of the scattering rate.

Given the persistent inequity in terms of both race and social class in the U.S.\, my research utilizes perspectives from developmental\, social\, and cultural psychology to examine how features of our social and cultural contexts (e.g.\, racially segregated neighborhoods and classrooms) influence individuals’ thoughts and feelings about intergroup relations\, and how these psychological outcomes in turn reify existing inequities. In this talk\, I will examine how racial segregation shapes both perceptions of others’ racial attitudes throughout development. In addition\, I discuss how these perceptions may be used to justify and ultimately perpetuate the persistence of racial segregation. By bringing to light these processes\, we can better understand why change is more difficult and slow than expected.

These complex systems often require an appropriate excitation\, an optimal hierarchical organization\, or a periodic dynamical structure\, such as synchrony\, to function as desired or operate optimally. In many application domains\, e.g.\, neurostimulation in brain medicine and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging in quantum control\, control and observation can only be implemented at the population level\, through broadcasting a single input signal to all the systems in the population and through collecting aggregated system-level measurements of the population\, respectively. These limitations give rise to challenging problems and new control paradigms involving underactuated manipulation of dynamic ensembles. This talk will address theoretical and computational challenges for targeted coordination of both isolated and networked ensemble systems arising in diverse areas at different scales. Both model-based and data-driven approaches for learning\, decoding\, control\, and computation of dynamic structures and patterns in ensemble systems will be presented. Practical control designs\, including synchronization waveforms for pattern formation in complex networks and optimal pulses in quantum control\, will be illustrated along with their experimental realizations. Lastly\, future directions and opportunities in Systems and Controls will be discussed.\n\n3:45 p.m. - Light Refreshments Served\n4:00 p.m. - Lecture UID:68092-17009821@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68092 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Information and Technology,Lecture,Life Science,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall, 4th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191002T115041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hopwood Teaching Roundtable DESCRIPTION:New\, experienced\, and future teachers of creative writing are invited to join an ongoing conversation about the art and craft of teaching creative writing.

Nirenberg Collegiate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:Molecular errors refer to mistakes made at the molecular level in cells\, including\, for example\, misfolding of RNA or protein molecules\, misincorporation of amino acids in protein synthesis\, and misinteraction between biomolecules. I argue that many genome-scale patterns in molecular biology and evolution (e.g.\, on transcription/translation initiation site variation\, alternative polyadenylation\, posttranscriptional modification\, chromosomal locations of genes\, and protein evolutionary rate) originate from molecular errors and differential natural selection mitigating these errors. Realizing that the cellular life is far from the orderly and harmonious picture commonly portrayed is important for understanding biology.

Among these inscribed tombs\, three were extensively inscribed on their facade: Harkhuf\, Pepinakht-Heqaib I\, and Sabni son of Mekhu (c.2250-2200 BCE). From Qubbet el-Hawa\, the place farthest away from the capital Memphis\, these inscribed facades project multiples lines of connectivity with the Memphite center\, and thus the king. The facades address the passerby\, not only through the hieroglyphically inscribed words (which would have been legible only by the very few)\, but also through their overall visual and monumental quality\, as well as through elements in their inscriptional layout. In this presentation\, Prof. Stauder-Porchet will be focusing on Harkhuf’s facade in particular\, discussing its poetic form (including in visual terms)\, its verbal and visual rhetoric\, and how it makes for visual encounters with the beholder.

Dr. Suni will discuss the repeating cycles of violence against these minority communities and the effects of their violent histories on the landscape through an ethnographic exploration of physical spaces of ruins\, including Armenian churches and Kurdish homes. Through attention to the persistent effects of violence on both local memory and the built environment\, this presentation complicates the categories of victim and perpetrator. The talk will show how Armenian and Kurdish histories\, often understood disparately\, are fundamentally intertwined. With an ethnographic focus on shared spaces of material ruins\, Dr. Suni will demonstrate how buildings and landscapes are not merely static reflections of a bygone time. Instead\, these ruins\, in which overlapping histories of state violence are sedimented\, are dynamic spaces in which understandings of the past\, politics in the present\, and possible futures are negotiated\, imagined and enacted. \n \nDr. Anoush Tamar Suni earned her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of California\, Los Angeles in 2019. Her dissertation\, entitled “Palimpsests of Violence: Ruination and the Politics of Memory in Anatolia\,” investigates questions of memory and the material legacies of state violence in the region of Van in southeastern Turkey with a focus on the historic Armenian and contemporary Kurdish communities. For her dissertation\, between 2015 and 2017\, Dr. Suni spent over two years in Van and Istanbul conducting ethnographic research. She completed her BA in Middle East Studies at Pomona College\, in California in 2009 and her MA in Turkish Studies at Sabanci University in Istanbul in 2012.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us (at tumanyan@umich.edu) at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Morales to give a lecture based on his book\, Latino and Muslim in America: Race\, Religion\, and the Making of a New Minority\, which is the first complete academic study on Latinx Muslims in the United States.\n\nDinner will be served!\n\nDr. Harold D. Morales is an Associate Professor in the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Morgan State University where he teaches courses in religious studies and philosophy of religion. He earned his Ph.D. and M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of California Riverside and his B.A. in Philosophy from California State University Fullerton. His research focuses on the intersections between race and religion and between lived and mediated religion. He uses these critical lenses to engage Latinx religions in general and Latino Muslim groups in particular. He is the author of Latino and Muslim in America: Race\, Religion\, and the Making of a New Minority (2018). His work with Latino Muslim communities spans ten years of media analysis and ethnographic research in California\, Texas\, Georgia\, Florida\, New York and New Jersey.\n\n\"Latino and Muslim in America examines how so called \"minority groups\" are made\, fragmented\, and struggle for recognition in the U.S.A. The U.S. is currently poised to become the first nation whose collective minorities will outnumber the dominant population\, and Latinos play no small role inthis world changing demographic shift. Even as many people view Latinos and Muslims as growing threats\, Latino Muslims celebrate their intersecting identities both in their daily lives and in their mediated representations online.In this book\, Harold Morales follows the lives of several Latino Muslim leaders from the 1970's to the present\, and their efforts to organize and unify nationally in order to solidify the new identity group's place within the public sphere. Based on four years of ethnography\, media analysis andhistorical research\, Morales demonstrates how the phenomenon of Latinos converting to Islam emerges from distinctive immigration patterns and laws\, urban spaces\, and new media technologies that have increasingly brought Latinos and Muslims in to contact with one another. He explains this growingcommunity as part of the mass exodus out of the Catholic Church\, the digitization of religion\, and the growth of Islam. Latino and Muslim in America explores the racialization of religion\, the framing of religious conversion experiences\, the dissemination of post-colonial histories\, and thedevelopment of Latino Muslim networks\, to show that the categories of race\, religion\, and media are becoming inextricably entwined.\" UID:67741-16926552@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67741 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,American Culture,Anthropology,Arts of Islam,Culture,Discussion,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Free,History,Humanities,immigration,Inclusion,Interdisciplinary,Islam,Latin America,Latine Heritage Month,Lecture,MESA,Middle East Studies,Multicultural,Muslim,Social Sciences LOCATION:Haven Hall - 3512 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191002T102637 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191009T210000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Movin' & Groovin' DESCRIPTION:Get ready to get physical!

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.

Likewise\, these devices are an enabling technology to understand normal brain function and behavior. However\, questions remain regarding the relationship between the biological response to implanted electrodes\, their chronic performance\, and features of their design. It is my lab’s goal to understand the basic science underlying the interaction between implanted electrodes and brain cells\, and to provide guiding principles to improve device design and performance as a result. Recently\, we have found novel effects of implanted silicon and polyimide-based electrode arrays on the structure and function of local neurons\, including alterations in ion channel expression\, synaptic transporter expression\, dendritic spine density\, and excitability. Results of quantitative immunohistochemistry demonstrate a progressive local increase in the expression of potassium ion channels and inhibitory transporters surrounding devices implanted in the brains of rats over time\, indicating a potential shift toward hypoexcitability over the 6-week time course studied. Two-photon laser scanning microscopy in brain slice preparations revealed profound local spine loss surrounding implants\, coupled with observations of reduced responsiveness to injected current during whole cell intracellular recordings\, where preliminary observations indicate particularly pronounced effects surrounding silicon-based devices. More recently\, we have pursued RNA-sequencing to understand the molecular identity and function of neurons and non-neurons surrounding implanted electrodes. Our results suggest a novel role of local plasticity surrounding devices in chronic signal loss and instability\, and we are currently working to assess and perturb local gene expression to reveal potential underlying mechanisms.

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:63992-16059370@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:20191010T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T180000 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.

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770228@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191001T091151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melody of Nostalgia: Sand Tapete & Ofrendas for Día de los Muertos alongside works in acrylic on canvas DESCRIPTION:Visiting Artist Fulgencio Lazo will work with U-M students and community members to design and create two tapetes\, or carpets of colored sand for Mexican Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations.

Stamps School of Art & Design\, with support from the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nThrough visually and auditorily immersive installation\, artist JuYeon Kim recognizes\, illuminates\, and honors the unimaginable suffering and enduring spirit of the Korean “comfort women” (wianbu in Korean) who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.\n\nIt is estimated over 200\,000 Korean women fell prey to Japanese soldiers during this time period\, many were as young as 14 years old. The girls and women\, often from rural villages\, were enslaved in a variety of ways\, including kidnapping\, coercion\, or being convinced with lies of paid factory work during desperate times of famine. Victims of forced sterilization\, many died during their time of enslavement. Those who survived often did not return home after the war for fear of stigma and rejection. For much of history\, their story has remained untold.\n\nThrough WiAn\, Kim invites viewers to join her in the recognition of this atrocity — and in providing comfort to the souls of these women. Through meditative poetry\, a soundscape by classical music composer George Tsontakis\, and sculptural objects\, Kim creates a physical space for the souls of these women to be honored\, to be comforted\, to let go of the past\, and to move forward. \n\nVisitors to the exhibition encounter an ethereal white gardenscape of transparent and opaque fictitious flora\, comprised of many different plant specimens. White\, the traditional color for Korean funerals\, returns the women to their rightful purity and innocence. At the center of the garden\, two palanquins engraved with original poetry invite the souls of the wianbu to take rest from their arduous journey to be carried like royalty\, to receive unequivocal compassion and kindness. A transparent door and trellis\, also engraved with original poetry\, invites souls to move lightly\, unburdened\, to the next chapter of being.\n\nIn a time when the #metoo movement has brought about a cultural reckoning\, Kim’s work also provides comfort\, strength\, and a space of contemplation for the living\, to all who have suffered and still suffer at the hands of systemic power inequity.\n\nJuYeon Kim is the 2019 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. \n\n  UID:67261-16831195@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67261 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,History LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191010T105604 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Yahoo/Verizon Media Career Day DESCRIPTION:The ECRC is hosting a Career Day for Verizon Media on Thursday\, October 10\, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.\n\nLearn about open roles\, speak with high-level engineers and members of our Design/APM team (product managers)\, and submit your resume in-person during Verizon Media's Career Day on 10/10!\n\nAs Verizon’s media unit\, our brands like Yahoo\, TechCrunch and HuffPost help people stay informed and entertained\, communicate and transact\, while creating new ways for advertisers and partners to connect.

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:58562-14511284@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:63803-15884083@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:63627-15820755@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:20191004T181807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988390@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through. The skull that emerges is\, in a South African context\, evocative of the Cradle of Humankind—a series of caves outside Johannesburg\, where some of the oldest hominin fossils in the world have been found.\n \nThe work complements UMMA’s renowned and growing collection of historical and contemporary African art and reminds us of the central role of Africa in the history of humankind. The 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 other traces the Power family’s seminal role in supporting Inuit art and introducing it to a U.S. audience. Seventy years ago\, neither the Inuit artists nor the Power family could have foreseen the tremendous popularity that this work would come to enjoy. Taking its title from the Inuktitut word for “unexpected\,” this stirring exhibition showcases 58 works from the collection of Philip and Kathy Power\, most from the very early contemporary period of the 1950s and 60s. Included are exquisite sculptures of ivory\, bone\, and stone\, as well as stonecut and stencil prints\, some from the first annual Inuit print collection in 1959. Among the renowned Inuit artists featured in this historic survey are Kenojuak Ashevak\, Lucy Qinnuayuak\, Niviaksiak\, Osuitok Ipeelee\, Kananginak Pootoogook\, and Johnny Inukpuk.\n \nThe exhibition also serves as a promising launch pad for future groundbreaking research\, exhibitions\, and programming related to Inuit art and culture at the University of Michigan\, thanks to the generosity of the Power family.\n\nThis exhibition inaugurates the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

We have developed a new platform combining several newly developed technologies including Vaa3D\, TeraFly\, UltraTracer\, and TeraVR (Nature\, 2019)\, to attempt this challenge. Particularly\, we have used TeraFly to invoke Vaa3D to quickly visualize the whole mouse brain image volume and manage the thousands of billions of voxels in each of the brain volume. We then used UltraTracer to wrap several efficient base tracers to trace such massive data volumes. Finally\, we combined virtual reality and machine learning into a tool called TeraVR for efficient proofreading and editing of such reconstructed neuron morphology. We are further improving the integration of these tools for more scalable and accurate single neuron morphometry.\n\nSpeaker:\nHanchuan Peng is the director of the SEU-ALLEN Joint Center and director of advanced computing at the Allen Institute for Brain Science. His lab develops revolutionary technologies to generate\, manage\, visualize\, analyze and understand massive-scale structure and function data related to brains. Peng also led the Big Image Mining team at Janelia\, HHMI. Peng is a highly cited inventor of a number of new algorithms and software/hardware systems\, including Vaa3D - a widely adopted high-performance platform for very large multi-dimensional images\, BrainAligner\, SmartScope\, mRMR\, etc. He built and co-worked the first digital maps for several widely used model systems at single cell/neurite resolution\, and led the “BigNeuron” initiative. Peng was inducted into AIMBE in 2019\, is a co-recipient of USA National Academy of Sciences’ Cozzarelli Prize (2013)\, and a recipient of the DIADEM award (2010).

Recently\, the Proyecto de Investigación Arqueológica de Jahuay has uncovered burials from multiple late prehispanic contexts. This talk presents ongoing research into these mortuary traditions. Among our findings\, we observe that the unique mortuary patterns previously documented by our colleagues in Chincha reached beyond the valley proper during the Late Intermediate Period and Late Horizon\, demonstrating the persistence of the social and political ties between Jahuay and the Chincha Valley. The variation across these mortuary contexts raises numerous questions about the social and political organization of Chincha and the surrounding regions\, prior to and during the Inca imperial conquest.

It also generally increases the results’ sensitivity to model features/parameters as well as the difficulty of constructing the models\, accurately solving the governing equations\, and interpreting the resulting data. Therefore\, one should base the analysis on the lowest-fidelity model one can get away with or\, equivalently\, the highest-fidelity model one can afford. The sweet spot for the tradeoff\, “the appropriate model”\, has changed over time in part because past successes in simulation-based science and engineering have increased expectations/requirements from electromagnetic analysis and in part because tremendous improvements in computing infrastructure and advances in computational methods have increased the affordability of complex analysis. Finding the appropriate model requires understanding both the benefits and the costs of analysis when a lower- or higher-fidelity model is used\; neither side of the ledger\, however\, is known beforehand (unless one is repeating previously established analyses). A possible approach to revealing these unknowns is to construct models by gradually increasing their fidelity\, performing analysis at each fidelity level\, and comparing the analysis results and costs to those from the previous steps. I will show examples of this “analysis-driven modeling” in bioelectromagnetics (using the AustinMan and AustinWoman human body models) and signal integrity (using an electronic package example) by employing parallel algorithms and advanced integral-equation solvers on leading-edge supercomputers.\n\n The examples will highlight many of the challenges arising from this approach to modeling. An important one is that “the appropriate method” of analysis generally depends on the model\, e.g.\, a method can outperform alternatives for low-fidelity models but underperform them for high-fidelity ones\; indeed\, inappropriate (but convenient) methods can not only inflate the cost side of the ledger but also deflate the benefit side\, leading to misjudgment of the appropriate model fidelity. Thus\, not surprisingly\, the development of appropriate electromagnetic models and appropriate computational methods are tightly linked (aka “if all you have is a hammer\, everything looks like a nail”). Unfortunately\, evaluating computational methods to find the appropriate one for a given model is surprisingly difficult\, even for unbiased experts\, as method performances depend not just on the models but also on the computers\, the software realizations of the methods\, and the users/developers of the software. On the one hand\, theoretical comparisons (e.g.\, of asymptotic complexities\, error convergence rates\, parallel scalability limits) are often incapable of factoring in the large impact of software and hardware infrastructure on the realized/observed performance of a computational method—a problem that has worsened as the traditional Dennard scaling of clock frequencies ended in the last decade. On the other hand\, empirical comparisons are beset by the same problems that physical measurements face (including irreproducible and uncertain results)\, require many (potentially low-efficiency) computations\, and suffer from the large number of alternative methods. I will discuss whether benchmark suites can improve the judicious use of computational methods for electromagnetic analysis and what the necessary ingredients for such benchmarks are.\n\nBio: Ali Yilmaz is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a core faculty member at the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin.

The most widely used model is a linear program that maximizes cellular growth rate subject to achieving steady metabolic state and to satisfying environmental bounds. Quadratic and integer modifications are also common. Standard stoichiometry decides the preponderance of data in all instances\, and hence\, the majority of information defining an optimization model is certain. However\, several key parts of a model rely on inferred science and are less certain\; indeed\, the method of deciding several of these values is opaque in the literature. This prompts the question of how the resulting science might depend on our lack of knowledge. We suggest a robust extension of FBA called Robust Analysis of Metabolic Pathways (RAMP) that accounts for uncertain information. We show that RAMP has several mathematical properties concomitant with our biological understanding\, that RAMP performs like a relaxation of FBA in practice\, and that RAMP requires special numerical awareness to solve.\n\nBio:\nAllen Holder earned his PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Colorado at Denver in 1998.

The overall thinking was that scientific exploration is the path to economic prosperity\, and applying the emerging high performance computing capability to a problem of national interest - aircraft propulsion - will provide an edge in an increasingly competitive environment. The relationship was strengthened when the US signed (but did not ratify) the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty (CTBT). The methods and tools needed to ensure stockpile readiness could be directly tested using computational propulsion as a surrogate problem. Leading OEMs (P&W\, GE\, Rolls Royce) seized this opportunity\, leading to transformative design processes\, the impact of which is seen in the phenomenal advances in aircraft engine performance in the last three decades. \n\nIn the last decade\, there has been a change in the governing philosophy for computing. It is now seen that computing should support industrial leadership\, which is deemed the path for economic success. While this may seem abstract\, the effect is that computing is seen as a way to accelerate decision making in the industrial context. Driven by Silicon Valley’s increasing dominance over the use of computations\, emerging supercomputing architectures are geared towards processing large volumes of data. This has important implications for computational propulsion. For instance\, the path towards computations-based certification of alternative fuels may no longer be possible. At the same time\, new opportunities have emerged. This talk discusses the nuances of this new era of supercomputing and its role in computational sciences.\n\nThis talk is based on a recent article by the speaker: “Emerging Trends in Numerical Simulation of Combustion Systems”\, Hassanaly and Raman\, Proceedings of the Combustion Institute\, Volume 37\, Issue 2\, 2019\, Pages 2073-2089.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nVenkat Raman received his PhD from Iowa State University in 2003 in the department of chemical engineering. He was a NASA/Center for Turbulence Research Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University from 2003-2004\, and a research associate in the Center for Integrated Turbulence Simulations from 2004-2005.\n\nFrom 2005-2014\, he was on the faculty of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Department at The University of Texas at Austin\, initially as an assistant professor (2005-2011) and later as tenured associate professor (2011-2014).\n\nRaman received an NSF CAREER award in 2008\, a distinguished paper award at the International Combustion Symposium in 2013\, and the Moncrief Grand Challenge Award in 2013. He held the Eli. H and Ramona Thornton Centennial Fellow in Engineering at UT Austin from 2013-2014.

For socio-biologists and linguists\, recursion is considered a fundamental mechanism of human language\, a sequence formula that requires it's output as a component of it's first step\, hence the analogy of sourdough yeast (you need sourdough to make sourdough). Hamlet’s conceit of habitual memory--Osric’s “yeasty collection”--calls attention to the regenerative performative elements of his own memory work. If humans figure in the deep history of evolution as exhibiting a plasticity that enables us to adapt to many environments with different selection pressures\, then it is because our capacity for self-reflection has enabled us to charge our habitual memory to work toward an endless set of adaptive goals across a range of environments.\nRenaissance humanism seems\, from this perspective\, not so much the birth of the human\, as the return of a set of co-evolved cognitive attributes released through rote literacy practices. Bearing witness to the deep history of the species within the early modern\, Hamlet’s posthuman ontology intimates the serendipity of contingency and the unbound nature of plasticity.

The majority of the applications of the classic \"node-based\" approach rely heavily on individual researchers' implicit assumptions about patterns of morphological evolution and the fossilization process. The application of these methods to understanding the evolution of vascular plants has been particularly controversial\, yielding divergence time estimates often seen as incompatible with the fossil record. However\, \"total-evidence dating\" (TED) methodologies offer the opportunity to overcome the difficulties inherent in the traditional node-based approaches\, allowing for the simultaneous inference of the phylogenetic relationships of extant and extinct vascular plants\, their divergence times\, and their patterns of morphological evolution. As part of a broader project to infer the timeline of vascular plant evolution\, I will discuss results of the application of TED approaches to the Marattiales\, a eusporangiate fern lineage with a deep fossil record (Marattiales taxa were dominant components of Carboniferous coal swamps)\, and close with comments on the challenges in implementing TED analyses\, and in particular\, in applying defensible models of morphological evolution.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/PEdhz9BuJbU UID:65471-16603598@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65471 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191010T181545 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Revealing the chemistry in quantum chemistry: from diatomics to proton coupled electron transfer in enzymes DESCRIPTION:With quantum chemistry nowadays most physical properties of molecules can be easily and (often) accurately calculated—for example\, DFT calculations of molecular structure\, reaction mechanisms\, and reaction energetics have become routine complements to organic chemistry. However\, the techniques behind these calculations afford no easy way of \"making sense\" of the computed quantities\, like orbitals and wave functions. Additionally\, many central empirical concepts of chemistry\, including concepts as basic as partial charges\, bond orders\, or even covalent bonds themselves\, have no consensus physical definition.\n\nWe here argue that\, once we properly define what is an \"atomic orbital\" in a molecule\, quantities representing most other empirical concepts can be straight-forwardly derived from simple physical arguments\, and then easily calculated. In this sense\, we show how our Intrinsic Atomic Orbital (IAO) technique gives rise to partial charges and bond orders\, and to bond orbitals\, which represent the electron pairs of Lewis structures (σ- and π-bonds). Even curly-arrow reaction mechanisms can be readily derived!\n\nBased on selected examples of both us and others\, we how IAOs allow the analysis of bonding in novel and exotic chemical species\, and how the method played a key role in understanding metal-catalyzed reaction mechanisms. \nGerald Knizia (Penn State) UID:65047-16509307@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65047 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191008T124910 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Role of Structural Dynamics in Smart Cities: What ambient vibrations tell us about structures\, people and the environment DESCRIPTION:As the concepts of Smart Cities\, Internet-of-things\, and Digital Twins continue to evolve\, stakeholders are beginning to ask increasingly complex questions about infrastructure: How will the built environment and its inhabitants respond to emergencies and natural disasters?\n\nDay-to-day (ambient) structural vibrations are an under-exploited source of information for answering these questions.

Both underwent intensive\, tenuous and difficult negotiations in order to end their respective conflicts peacefully. What does it mean in such contexts to bring about “transitional justice?” What values and interests tend to drive transitional justice processes\, and what aspects of justice tend to be overlooked? How can societies address key forms of injustice that formal transitional justice processes downplay or omit? What were the comparative successes\, failures and difficulties that face societies after conflict in their quest for greater democracy\, human rights and social justice? This interdisciplinary panel will offer a comparative cross-regional discussion of transitional justice. Leading scholars from Africa and Latin America will share insights about macro-level commonalities in transitional justice processes across diverse societies. They will also examine how those high-level dynamics have affected micro-level social\, civil and political dynamics in the various countries they study\, work and live in—and thus the experiences of ordinary survivors seeking remedies to continuing injustice.\n\nParticipating speakers:\n\nLitheko Modisane(University of Cape Town)\nKeith Vermeulen (Methodist Church of Southern Africa)\nAlejandro Castillejo-Cuellar (Universidad de los Andes)\nGustavo Jose Rojas Paez (Universidad Libre de Colombia)\n\nYazier Henry (University of Michigan) as moderator\n\nHosted as part of the Ford School's Conversations Across Difference Initiative.

Last fall\, SiD faculty member Diana Seales coordinated 5 workshops for students and community members to learn about\, discuss\, and practice healing justice. This time\, the series is back with some updates and an additional workshop.\n\nAll workshops are free and open to the public and include a light dinner. \n\nIf you are coming from Ann Arbor as a registered student or someone who wants to drop in for one or more workshops\, please email Craig Regester (regester@umich.edu) to confirm your transportation.\n\nSERIES INFORMATION:\n\nCultural organizing places culture at the center of an organizing strategy. It can be done to unite people through the humanity of culture and the democracy of participation. This series explores the ways in which healing justice\, creativity and arts enhance cultural organizing through a series of unique workshops led by Detroiters that are at the forefront of this movement. This type of creative organizing empowers communities to come together in celebration of culture while developing valuable skills that challenge power and oppression. \n\nHealing Justice is woven through each of the workshops. Dr. Page of the Kindred Healing Justice Collective (often attributed with coining the phrase) describes Healing Justice as identifying how we can holistically respond to and intervene on generational trauma and violence\, and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our bodies\, hearts and minds.” \n\nAdditionally\, this series is led entirely by indigenous community members and activists. The practice of ritual\, which is deeply tied to healing justice and cultural organizing\, often comes at the risk of cultural appropriation. As we try to create cross-cultural community healing spaces\, it is vital to understand Anishinaabe culture as we stand on their land. This series will struggle with that idea\, with the challenge of ritual in the modern era\, and will encourage people not familiar with healing justice to get outside their comfort zones and confront the ways in which the destruction of indigenous healing practices and colonization are deeply interconnected. \n\nWORKSHOP SCHEDULE:\n\nOctober 3rd: Dreams as Empowerment - using dreams for self-healing\, transformation\, and intuition\nWorkshop by Zoë Villegas of Gemineye Tarot\n\nOctober 10th: How to Build Community Through Active Story Sharing and Movement - Dress comfortably and be ready to move: this workshop will include aspects of traditional as well as modern interpretations of Great Lakes Indigenous Dances\nWorkshop by Christy Giizigad of Aadizookaan\n \nOctober 17: Herbs & Ceremony - how ritual can be used for personal and activist self-care\nWorkshop by Adela Nieves Martinez of Healing by Choice!\n\nNovember 7th: Using Tarot and Folk Magic as Defense Against Colonialized Structures and Oppression\nWorkshop by Zoë and Alejandra Villegas of Gemineye Tarot\n\nNovember 14th: Understanding Anishinaabe Healing Practice to Create Cross-Cultural Community Healing Spaces\nWorkshop by Chantel Henry of American Indian Health and Family Services\n\nNovember 21st: Beat back the oppressors!

The New York Times calls Sense and Sensibility a “bouncy\, jaunty take on Austen…[that] remains remarkably true to the values and priorities of its source.” UID:63544-15784065@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63544 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Arthur Miller Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191009T100314 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T193000 SUMMARY:Performance:Veterans for Peace John Lennon Birthday Concert DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark UID:63787-15873604@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63787 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191008T144928 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T220000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CONFIDENT PLURALISM DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation at the Power Center on Thursday\, October 10 at 8 PM with John Inazu and Kelly Dunlop.

All three pieces pay homage to the music of the past while breaking new\, sometimes revolutionary\, ground. Samuel Barber’s Second Essay\, argues its case in the fashion of a literary essay with an argument and an aspirational conclusion. The Fourth Symphony of Brahms offers what may be considered the pinnacle or summation of Brahms’ symphonic writing. Winner of the 2019 SMTD Concerto Competition\, and member of the USO\, Ayana Terauchi\, performs the Flute Concerto by Lowell Liebermann. \n\nPROGRAM:\nBarber- Second Essay\nLowell Liebermann- Flute Concerto\nBrahms- Symphony No. 4 UID:65498-16607679@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65498 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190905T141533 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191010T220000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Kaffeestunde DESCRIPTION:\"Kaffeestunde\" at the Max Kade Haus takes place once a week in the Max Kade House in North Quad.
