Now in its sixth year\, the 2019 TE3 Conference will examine transportation electrification worldwide\, highlighting developments in both the United States and China. \n\nTransportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States and a rising source globally. Technology advances and falling costs for energy storage and renewable energy are now poised to create a historic opportunity to transition the sector to electrified mobility. At this year's TE3 event\, conference participants will explore this exciting transition through sessions addressing consumer interest in electric vehicles (EVs)\, vehicle charging\, the role of a cleaner electric grid\, the economics of EVs and the interactions among different policies. The conference will close with a high-level panel discussion about the tensions that confront EV-related policy development in the world's leading vehicle markets. \n\nTE3 2019 will be held on Friday\, October 18 in Rackham Amphiteatre. \nLearn more and register at https://energy.umich.edu/te3/.

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

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

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

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059378@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:20191018T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T180000 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:66701-16770236@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:20191018T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T170000 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.

In this talk\, we present several new techniques for data integration of mixed\, multi-view data where multiple sets of features\, possibly each of a different domain\, are measured for the same set of samples. This type of data is common in heathcare\, biomedicine\, national security\, multi-senor recordings\, multi-modal imaging\, and online advertising\, among others. In this talk\, we specifically highlight how mixed graphical models and new feature selection techniques for mixed\, mutli-view data allow us to explore relationships amongst features from different domains. Next\, we present new frameworks for integrated principal components analysis and integrated generalized convex clustering that leverage diverse data sources to discover joint patterns amongst the samples. We apply these techniques to integrative genomic studies in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases to make scientific discoveries that would not be possible from analysis of a single data set.\n\nShort-Bio:\nGenevera Allen is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, Statistics and Computer Science at Rice University and an investigator at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine. She is also the Founder and Faculty Director of the Rice Center for Transforming Data to Knowledge\, informally called the Rice D2K Lab. Dr. Allen's research focuses on developing statistical machine learning tools to help scientists make reproducible data-driven discoveries.

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.

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:67261-16831201@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:20191020T180014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Wisco Women's DESCRIPTION:MCSA women's regatta UID:66718-17124208@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66718 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Wisconsin - Madison, Madison, WI CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190814T161933 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Making Teamwork Work DESCRIPTION:Effective use of groups in the classroom can increase student learning and enhance students' problem solving abilities\, if instructors ensure that all students are engaged and included.

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:58562-14511291@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:63803-15884090@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:63627-15820762@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:20191018T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T170000 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.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

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.

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. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931446@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191007T121739 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Power Family Program for Inuit Art: Tillirnanngittuq​ DESCRIPTION:An exhibition celebrating the exceptional gift of 20th-century Inuit art to the Museum by the Power family\n \nTwo fascinating stories converge in one very special exhibition: One tracks the development and subsequent worldwide acclaim of contemporary Inuit art from the Canadian Arctic. 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.

When the individual utility function has multiple inflection points\, this leads to a form of hedonic adaptation. When an individual has sufficiently exceeded their purpose\, they adopt a new more demanding purpose and focus on achieving that purpose. But when an individual has sufficiently fallen short of that purpose\, they switch to a less aggressive purpose. As a result\, the utility function implicitly specifies a series of purposes which serve as milestones as the individual's maximizes their utility function. So\, by integrating elements of prospect theory into utility theory\, Dr. Bordley will demonstrate how utility theory can provide its own normative alternative to using goals to guide decision making.

Ideas About African-American Marriage from W.E.B. Du Bois to Our Own Times DESCRIPTION:The state of African-American families\, of marital status in particular\, has been subject to debates going back centuries. Slavery was ground zero for explaining black familial impairments and has figured prominently in popular and scholarly assessments ever since. W. E. B. Du Bois was the first scholar to study the family and make this claim. This talk will take a critical look at his influential work and examine some of the contemporary debates about what marriage can and cannot do to redress the ills of racial oppression.\n\nTera W. Hunter is the Edwards Professor of American History and Professor of African-American Studies at Princeton University. She is a scholar of labor\, gender\, race\, and Southern history. Her most recent book is Bound in Wedlock: Slave and Free Black Marriage in the Nineteenth Century (The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press\, 2017).

Further\, their representation declines as rank increases. Epistemic exclusion may act as a barrier to the number\, retention\, and advancement of URM faculty in the academy. Epistemic exclusion (Dotson\, 2012\, 2014) is the devaluation of URM scholars and the research they do (often on marginalized groups) as illegitimate\, lacking value\, and outside of disciplinary norms. These disciplinary norms are established and maintained by those who hold power and prestige due to their success working within the dominant discourse. These individuals are often resistant to changing norms either because of narrow views of the field\, self-interest\, or personal biases towards URMs. In this talk\, I use data from 118 faculty interviews\, 3 faculty focus groups\, and a large faculty survey to illustrate formal and informal ways in which epistemic exclusion operates\, and the consequences it has for the psychological well-being\, job outcomes\, and career trajectories of faculty of color.

STEM V: Innovation and Appropriate Technology in Africa DESCRIPTION:“Appropriate Technology” refers here to efforts of scientists and engineers to help people on the Continent provide products and services for themselves from locally sourced and led efforts\, as an alternative to “Global North” and other foreign suppliers whose products generally involve significant overhead in the international market. Appropriate technology is based on sound scientific and engineering fundamentals\, and usually involves rethinking technical problems to come up with alternatives to the standard solutions. The emphasis is on close proximity of the engineer/scientist to the user population and a resulting intimate understanding of what their technical problems are. It is also based on a philosophy of creativity and “less can be more”\, where designing solutions with\, say\, severe materials sourcing or distribution constraints\, can be more challenging\, but the results more transformative for the user population and rewarding for the engineer/scientist.\n \nDr. Musaazi has been a source of inspiration to STEM-Africa and African Studies Center since before even our founding ten years ago. He has been a long term collaborator on experiences for U-M students\, especially undergraduates\, who participated in joint appropriate technology projects with his team. Dr. Musaazi was driven by a concern to empower communities\, to unlock their creative potential\, circumventing systemic hurdles to such potential from the global marketplace or inequitable local mores. He was particularly sensitive to the problems of young women in developing societies whose communities’ traditions may not have adequately valued their advancement or their potential contributions to their societies.\n \nThe conference brings together some of the best practitioners from the continent and their collaborators at U-M to assess the current state of appropriate technology approaches\, from the engineering/ scientific perspective\, but also in terms of local innovation and entrepreneurship viewed as vital to the effective distribution of creative solutions to on the ground problems and empowerment of the user communities\, and especially of women.\n\n-----\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

We prove that steady-state equilibria exist under general conditions on records. We then focus on “trigger-strategy” equilibria. When the updating of a player’s record can depend on the actions of both players in a match\, steady-state equilibria in trigger strategies can support the play of a wide range of actions\, including any action that Pareto-dominates a static Nash equilibrium. When updates can depend only on a player’s own actions\, fewer actions can be supported by steady-state equilibria. We provide sufficient conditions for trigger equilibria to support a given action\, along with somewhat more permissive necessary conditions. When players have access to a form of decentralized public randomization\, the sufficient conditions expand to match the necessary conditions.\njoint with Daniel Clark and Drew Fudenberg UID:66217-16719599@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66217 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 301 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191008T100046 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department Colloquium: Gail Fine (Cornell University) DESCRIPTION:It’s well known that Plato uses truth terminology in a variety of ways. The two main (perhaps the only) uses are ontological and semantic (or propositional): Plato speaks both of e.g. forms being true\, and of e.g. sentences being true. But it’s not always clear which use is at issue where\; nor is it clear how the two uses are connected. However\, on one familiar view\, in central epistemological and metaphysical passages in the middle dialogues the key use is ontological\; and the ontological use grounds the semantic use. I assess this view.

In the electromagnetic case\, we show that the quantization of electromagnetic radiation (which causes decoherence of Alice's particle) and vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field (which limits Bob's ability to localize his particle to better than a charge-radius) both are essential for avoiding apparent paradoxes with causality and complementarity. We then analyze the gravitational version of this gedankenexperiment. We show that the analysis of the gravitational case is in complete parallel with the electromagnetic case provided that gravitational radiation is quantized and that vacuum fluctuations limit the localization of a particle to no better than a Planck length. This provides support for the view that (linearized) gravity should have a quantum field description.

Records of this history can be derived from the fluvial\, cave and paleosol deposits in which the fossils and stone tools are typically found\, from deep sea offshore marine drill cores\, or from drill cores collected from the deposits of ancient lakes that span the African rift valley. In this talk I will describe recent findings from HSPDP\, a large international consortium focused on the latter approach\, as well as finding from other lake drilling projects of relevance to hominin history. Lake beds drilled by HSPDP have provided highly resolved records of environmental and climatic change. We have targeted sites in close proximity to important fossil hominin and archaeological sites\, which span critical intervals in hominin evolutionary history\, and which are providing a regional scale view of the ecological and climatic conditions experienced by our species and close relatives over the last ~3.5 Ma. I will also discuss future plans for extending lacustrine drill core records back through the entire span on hominin history\, since the Late Miocene.

Part of diversity is linguistic diversity and part of inclusivity is linguistic inclusivity. Discrimination frequently occurs due to stereotypes about people's languages\, dialects\, and ways of speaking. Efforts to include different languages in public spaces and to create a more inclusive public discourse are sometimes perceived as inappropriate policing of other people's language\, even by people who generally support diversity and inclusion initiatives. \n\n\nLinguistics Professors Natasha Abner and Robin Queen discuss ideas about language that can lead to discrimination\, as well as the merits and the criticisms of inclusive language efforts\, drawing from specific cases that have received national attention as well as significant attention on the University of Michigan campus.

The organizers sought to create a sense of urban dynamism by linking some of city’s most significant and diverse institutions\, including the iconic Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA)\, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, and the Detroit Public Library\, among others. In response to the prompt\, the multi-disciplinary design team Agence Ter\, Akoaki\, rootoftwo\, and Harley Etienne conceived the winning entry\, Detroit Square. The project is a framework that adapts the unique expression of each institution and is intent on generating a sense of radical inclusivity within the rapidly changing city. The Detroit School Series is proud to host a conversation with Anya Sirota – Associate Professor of Architecture\, Associate Dean of Academic Initiatives at Taubman College\, and founding partner of Akoaki– to discuss the opportunities and predicaments of urban design and the public realm in the aftermath of Modernity.\n\nSpeaker: Anya Sirota\, Associate Professor of Architecture\, Associate Dean of Academic Initiatives at Taubman College\, and founding partner of Akoaki\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning UID:68036-16986102@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68036 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,architecture lecture,Architecture\, Urban Planning,art and design LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - 100 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190911T095803 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191018T181500 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:4-Week Basic Mindfulness Class DESCRIPTION:Koru Mindfulness is a 4 session course that will teach you the skill of mindfulness.

But because he was born in a Leap Year\, Frederic isn’t technically 21– and the Pirate King is still his master. Unless something gives\, Frederic will soon be on a collision course with the Pirate King’s new nemesis: Mabel’s father.\n\nThis updated version of the original D’Oyly Carte production marries the wit of British Music Hall and the American show-biz know-how of a combustive Broadway musical\; including dance\, visual gags\, and many well-loved songs such as “I am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General\,” “Poor Wand’ring One\,” and “A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One.” The Pirates of Penzance is the quintessence of silly\, a delightful excuse to indulge in the literate humor of Gilbert’s libretto\, the enchanting melodies of Arthur Sullivan’s score\, and the powerhouse talents of our Musical Theatre students.

This piece chronicles the lives of indigenous youth in México\, and the realities that they face at the crossroads of modern life and tradition. Performances of the piece will take place in the Newman Studio at Walgreen Drama Center on Thursday\, October 17 and Friday\, October 18 at 8pm. \n\nMakuyeika: Colectivo Teatral is a theatre ensemble dedicated to creating original works about the narratives and theatricalities of Mexico’s indigenous people\, touching with keen\, artistic sensibility themes of great social\, cultural\, and human value. Meaning “wayfarer” in the language of the Wixarika people\, Makuyeika was formed after an extensive search across the country’s indigenous communities\, a project undertaken by Flores Komatsu as an inaugural recipient of The Julie Taymor World Theatre Fellowship. \n\nAndares is a theatre creation about the lives of indigenous youth in México\, devised collectively through personal anecdotes\, ancestral myths\, as well as traditional music and art forms. The play shines light on a range of realities — land usurpation\, widespread violence\, ancestral duties\, community resistance\, — that indigenous people face at the crossroads of modern life and tradition. Meaning “pathways\,” Andares is a genuine\, eye-opening\, and intimate close-up on Mexico’s most remote corners and the extraordinary stories of its humble\, everyday inhabitants. \n\nCo-sponsored by: Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies\; LSA Department of American Culture\; LSA Latina/o Studies\; LSA Native American Studies\; LSA Residential College\; SMTD Office of Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion\; SMTD EXCEL\; and SMTD Department of Theatre & Drama.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies\, at 734-936-2777\, at least one week in advance of this event.

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 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.

STEM V: Innovation and Appropriate Technology in Africa DESCRIPTION:“Appropriate Technology” refers here to efforts of scientists and engineers to help people on the Continent provide products and services for themselves from locally sourced and led efforts\, as an alternative to “Global North” and other foreign suppliers whose products generally involve significant overhead in the international market. Appropriate technology is based on sound scientific and engineering fundamentals\, and usually involves rethinking technical problems to come up with alternatives to the standard solutions. The emphasis is on close proximity of the engineer/scientist to the user population and a resulting intimate understanding of what their technical problems are. It is also based on a philosophy of creativity and “less can be more”\, where designing solutions with\, say\, severe materials sourcing or distribution constraints\, can be more challenging\, but the results more transformative for the user population and rewarding for the engineer/scientist.\n \nDr. Musaazi has been a source of inspiration to STEM-Africa and African Studies Center since before even our founding ten years ago. He has been a long term collaborator on experiences for U-M students\, especially undergraduates\, who participated in joint appropriate technology projects with his team. Dr. Musaazi was driven by a concern to empower communities\, to unlock their creative potential\, circumventing systemic hurdles to such potential from the global marketplace or inequitable local mores. He was particularly sensitive to the problems of young women in developing societies whose communities’ traditions may not have adequately valued their advancement or their potential contributions to their societies.\n \nThe conference brings together some of the best practitioners from the continent and their collaborators at U-M to assess the current state of appropriate technology approaches\, from the engineering/ scientific perspective\, but also in terms of local innovation and entrepreneurship viewed as vital to the effective distribution of creative solutions to on the ground problems and empowerment of the user communities\, and especially of women.\n\n-----\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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 also true for other medications that have potential for abuse\, and increases the potential for these medications to be diverted into the community or contaminate our waterways. Take back events provide a safe process for disposing of unused medications while protecting our communities\, children\, and environment. \n\nRemove the risk from your home and bring any unused opioids and other medications to an event in your community.\n\nMichigan OPEN’s efforts with take back events have led to more than 9\,600 pounds of unused medications and approximately 172\,700 opioids being collected and properly disposed.

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:66701-16770237@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:20190920T130853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191019T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191019T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. 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.

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:67261-16831202@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:20191019T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191019T113000 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:58562-14511292@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:63803-15884091@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:63627-15820763@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:20191019T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191019T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade.

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:68063-16988398@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:20191019T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191019T170000 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.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

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.

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.

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:63992-16059379@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:20191018T181532 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191019T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Guest Master Class: Kristian Nyquist\, harpsichord DESCRIPTION:Kristian Nyquist leads a master class of Baroque keyboard works featuring students of Prof. Joseph Gascho.

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

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

STEM V: Innovation and Appropriate Technology in Africa DESCRIPTION:“Appropriate Technology” refers here to efforts of scientists and engineers to help people on the Continent provide products and services for themselves from locally sourced and led efforts\, as an alternative to “Global North” and other foreign suppliers whose products generally involve significant overhead in the international market. Appropriate technology is based on sound scientific and engineering fundamentals\, and usually involves rethinking technical problems to come up with alternatives to the standard solutions. The emphasis is on close proximity of the engineer/scientist to the user population and a resulting intimate understanding of what their technical problems are. It is also based on a philosophy of creativity and “less can be more”\, where designing solutions with\, say\, severe materials sourcing or distribution constraints\, can be more challenging\, but the results more transformative for the user population and rewarding for the engineer/scientist.\n \nDr. Musaazi has been a source of inspiration to STEM-Africa and African Studies Center since before even our founding ten years ago. He has been a long term collaborator on experiences for U-M students\, especially undergraduates\, who participated in joint appropriate technology projects with his team. Dr. Musaazi was driven by a concern to empower communities\, to unlock their creative potential\, circumventing systemic hurdles to such potential from the global marketplace or inequitable local mores. He was particularly sensitive to the problems of young women in developing societies whose communities’ traditions may not have adequately valued their advancement or their potential contributions to their societies.\n \nThe conference brings together some of the best practitioners from the continent and their collaborators at U-M to assess the current state of appropriate technology approaches\, from the engineering/ scientific perspective\, but also in terms of local innovation and entrepreneurship viewed as vital to the effective distribution of creative solutions to on the ground problems and empowerment of the user communities\, and especially of women.\n\n-----\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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:66701-16770238@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:20190905T102315 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T103000 SUMMARY:Other:Museum Highlights Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

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

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820764@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:20191020T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T112000 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:58562-14511293@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:63803-15884092@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.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.  UID:63837-15901128@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63837 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Irving Stenn, Jr. Family Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190620T121534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Walter Oltmann DESCRIPTION:Infant Skull II\, a woven “tapestry” made out of very fine aluminum wire\, only reveals its shape when seen from afar. 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.

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. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931448@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191007T121739 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Power Family Program for Inuit Art: Tillirnanngittuq​ DESCRIPTION:An exhibition celebrating the exceptional gift of 20th-century Inuit art to the Museum by the Power family\n \nTwo fascinating stories converge in one very special exhibition: One tracks the development and subsequent worldwide acclaim of contemporary Inuit art from the Canadian Arctic. 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.

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:63992-16059380@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:20190905T105559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T131500 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Scientist in the Forum DESCRIPTION:Check at the Welcome Desk for schedule. \n\nJoin a University of Michigan researcher in the Science Forum for a special peek into cutting-edge research.

The installation is organized around a very large photograph of a Baroque church by Candida Höfer. From this centerpiece\, the works of art are grouped in scenes or distinctive vignettes comprised of a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media. The reinstallation doesn’t adhere to either chronological or geographic boundaries. Curated by Vera Grant\, UMMA’s Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs\, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. Of this installation\, she says: “The exhibition recasts the role of the collection as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation. The arrangements remind us that works of art can change in meaning and affect when placed in new contexts.” Join an docent to explore and interpret this exciting new project.\n\n UID:64119-16163569@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64119 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190925T181528 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191020T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance DESCRIPTION:Young Frederic\, who has spent his formative years as a junior pirate\, plans to mark his 21st birthday by breaking free from the Pirate King and beginning his courtship of Mabel. But because he was born in a Leap Year\, Frederic isn’t technically 21– and the Pirate King is still his master. Unless something gives\, Frederic will soon be on a collision course with the Pirate King’s new nemesis: Mabel’s father.\n\nThis updated version of the original D’Oyly Carte production marries the wit of British Music Hall and the American show-biz know-how of a combustive Broadway musical\; including dance\, visual gags\, and many well-loved songs such as “I am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General\,” “Poor Wand’ring One\,” and “A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One.” The Pirates of Penzance is the quintessence of silly\, a delightful excuse to indulge in the literate humor of Gilbert’s libretto\, the enchanting melodies of Arthur Sullivan’s score\, and the powerhouse talents of our Musical Theatre students.

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.

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.

At the same time\, the nature and specificity of these associations remains unclear. I will present data establishing rapprochement between contemporary models of personality and psychopathology\, integrating empirically based\, hierarchically organized structural representations of both at phenotypic and etiologic levels. This work emphasizes the utility of broad higher-order factors (or spectra) of psychopathology (i.e.\, internalizing\, externalizing)\, but not necessarily the p-factor or individual diagnostic entities\, as valuable foci for targeting transdiagnostic mechanisms undergirding psychopathology.

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:66701-16770239@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:20190731T120334 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mindfullness-based Dementia Care DESCRIPTION:A free\, 7-week program designed for family caregivers of persons with dementia.

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. Dixboro Rd.\, Ann Arbor. Free.

We theoretically show that even when agents are self-interested and perfectly rational\, the information externality induces an encouragement effect: a positive effect of first-player exploration on the optimality of the second-player exploring as well. When agents have other-regarding preferences and imperfectly optimize\, the encouragement effect is strongest. The explorative nature of the game raises the expected surplus compared to a payoff equivalent public goods game. We empirically confirm our main theoretical predictions using a novel experimental paradigm. Our findings are relevant for motivating and managing groups and teams innovating not only for private but also\, and especially so\, for public goods.

Bio Seminar | Stochastic Turing patterns in oceans\, brains and biofilms DESCRIPTION:A special seminar co-hosted by Quantitative Bio. Seminars & CSCS. The first of two talks Professor Goldenfeld will be giving in two days at the University of Michigan\n\nABSTRACT \nWhy are the patterns of plankton in the ocean so patchy? Why do frequently described geometrical hallucinations tend to fall into one of four different classes of pattern? Why don't we see hallucinations all the time? And why do populations in ecosystems tend to have noisy cycles in abundance? This talk explains how these phenomena all arise from the discreteness of the underlying entities\, be they the on-off states of neurons or the numbers of bacteria in a fluid volume of ocean\, or the number of signaling molecules in a biofilm. I explain how tools from statistical mechanics can yield insights into these phenomena\, and report on a range of studies that include the operation of the primate visual cortex\, the behavior of signalling molecules in a forward-engineered synthetic biofilm\, and the fluctuating patterns and populations of marine organisms.

Growing up in impoverished contexts is associated with myriad psychosocial adversities\, all of which dramatically increase risk for psychopathology across the lifespan. One proposed mechanism by which environmental stress becomes biologically-embedded to predict maladaptive developmental outcomes is via alterations in brain function. In this practice job talk\, I will present my research program linking poverty and poverty-related adversities to corticolimbic function during socioemotional processing. Using harsh parenting and neighborhood disadvantage as examples\, I show that developmental timing is an important consideration for elucidating the effects of childhood adversity on corticolimbic development. Additionally\, in an application of the model of Differential Susceptibility\, I will highlight how amygdala reactivity during face processing may serve as a plasticity marker by moderating behavioral responses to socioeconomic resources.

In order to move forward\, we must understand the role of cultural and structural racism upon which these inequities are built. Cultural racism shapes our society's structure and ultimately shapes the answers to the questions: \"Whose life counts? Who is worthy of a healthy life?\" In this presentation\, Dr. Hicken will discuss the interwoven nature of both career trajectory\, as a former PSC predoctoral trainee\, and the development of her science on cultural and structural racism and health inequities. Specifically\, she will outline her theory on racism and health and describe her collaborative data project designed to empirically examine this theory.\n\nBIO:\nDr. Margaret Hicken is on faculty at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan where she serves as director of the UM RacismLab\, an interdisciplinary research collected designed to facilitate the career progression of scholar who study cultural and structural racism. She is also director of the Landscapes of Racism Dispossession and Control data project\, supported with funding from NIDDK\, NIMHD\, and NIA\, to examine the ways in which historical and contemporary forms of racial control have resulted in contemporary health inequities.\n\nPSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

The Reshaping of Persian after the Seventh-Century Arabian Conquest and Colonization DESCRIPTION:The 2019 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is \"Migration in the Islamicate World.\" \n \nThis presentation discusses the reshaping of the Persian language in the seventh and eighth centuries\, conditioned by the settlement patterns of the coalition of conquering Colonists (muhājirūn) from Arabia. Breakthroughs in contact linguistics combined with traditional historical linguistics and philology provide new insights into the demographic history of premodern populations and shed light on how the Persian language still used today first emerged. In this analysis\, modern narratives of Persian ethnic or national continuity with the ancient past give way to a history of discontinuity and colonial rupture. \n \nAbout the Speaker: \nKevin van Bladel is Professor of Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations at Yale University.

Anger often occurs as a response to wrongdoing and seems to play an important role in the blaming and punishing of wrongdoers. As such\, it’s neither uncommon nor surprising for anger to be referred to as a moral emotion\, though what precisely is meant by the term “moral anger” is not always clear: does generic\, garden variety anger\, which is likely familiar to us from computer malfunctions or heavy traffic\, also show up in the moral domain\, perhaps as a morally appropriate\, fitting\, or epistemically reliable response to (certain features of) wrongdoing? Or is there a distinctive psychological state of moral anger that is differentiable from generic anger\, and from other emotion types? I defend the claim that there is a distinctively moral kind of anger. I argue that moral anger counts as distinctively moral primarily in virtue of its action tendencies\, which are typically triggered by perceived injustice against oneself or others and aim to satisfy two moral goals: a communicative goal\, and a retributive goal.

Measurements of the Higgs boson decay may shield lights on those open questions. In this talk\, I will present a few selective results from the ATLAS experiment on the Higgs boson decays. Namely the first observation of the Higgs boson decay to a pair of b-quarks\, which had eluded us for many years despite it is the most probable Higgs decay channel\; novel techniques to search for potential new physics using the hardonically decaying Higgs boson\, and a first search for singly produced long-lived neutral particle that may be realized via Higgs portal. The talk will mainly focus on general descriptions of the measurements without too much technical details\, so that the content is accessible to non experimental particle physicists.\n UID:64425-16348357@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64425 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191017T121727 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T163000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:King Talks Information Session DESCRIPTION:This session will allow you to learn more about the King Talks\, including expectations and application tips.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/bv0wY.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

We develop a quasi-experimental approach to measure and characterize discrimination in the context of pretrial bail decisions. Race-specific average treatment effects (of pretrial release on subsequent misconduct) are used to purge omitted variables bias from conventional benchmarking regressions\, isolating legally-unwarranted release rate disparities among black and white defendants with the same potential for pretrial misconduct. Leveraging the quasi-random assignment of bail judges in New York City\, we find that approximately 70 percent of the average release rate disparity between observationally-equivalent white and black defendants is due to discrimination. Nearly all judges discriminate against black defendants\, with higher levels of discrimination among judges who are older\, more stringent\, and less exposed to black cases. To explore the form that this discrimination takes\, we develop and estimate a hierarchical marginal treatment effects model in which judges can differ in their rankings of defendant misconduct risk (in violation of the conventional monotonicity assumption). We find evidence of both racial bias and statistical discrimination\, with the latter arising from both lower mean risk and more precise risk signals for white defendants.\n\njoint with David Arnold and Will Dobbie UID:66761-16776774@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66761 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191105T123018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Just getting started building a resume?

Rodríguez Lecture DESCRIPTION:This talk will examine the politics of fantasy in relation to representations of Latino male sexuality in contemporary independent and queer cinema. Primarily focusing on Miguel Arteta’s 1997 film Star Maps\, the talk reads the film as a critique of Hollywood’s racially exclusive practices while illustrating how fantasy helps make sense of protagonist Carlos’s American dream of becoming an esteemed film and television star who also finds himself ruled by the sexual desires and labor demands of others.\n\nRichard T. Rodríguez is associate professor of Media & Cultural Studies at the University of California\, Riverside. He specializes in Latina/o literary and cultural studies\, film and visual culture\, and queer studies with additional interests in transnational cultural studies\, popular music studies\, and comparative ethnic studies. The author of Next of Kin: The Family in Chicano/a Cultural Politics (Duke University Press\, 2009)\, he is completing two book projects: “Fantasies of Latino Male Sexuality” and “Latino/U.K.: Transatlantic Intimacies in Post-Punk Cultures.”\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Critical Contemporary Studies Workshop and the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI) UID:64334-16318429@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64334 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English Department LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3222 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190925T105939 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Innovation Seminar\, Ruslan Afasizhev\, Boston University Medical Campus DESCRIPTION:Ruslan Afasizhev\, PhD\, Professor\, Molecular & Cell Biology\, Boston University Medical Campus\n\nAbstract: Parasitic protist Trypanosoma brucei causes African human and animal trypanosomiasis\, a spectrum of diseases affecting the population and economy in sub-Saharan Africa. These digenetic hemoflagellates belong to Kinetoplastea\, a taxonomic class distinguished by possession of a kinetoplast. This nucleoprotein body contains mitochondrial DNA of two kinds: ~25 maxicircles (each ~23kb) encoding ribosomal RNAs\, two guide RNA (gRNAs)\, ribosomal proteins and subunits of respiratory complexes\, and approximately 5000 of ~1kb minicircles bearing the majority of gRNA genes. Relaxed maxicircles and minicircles are interlinked and packed into a dense disc-shaped network by association with histone-like proteins. Both maxicircle and minicircle genomes are transcribed by a phage-like RNA polymerase from multiple promoters into 3′-extended precursors which undergo 3′-5′ exonucleolytic trimming. To function in mitochondrial translation\, pre-mRNAs must further proceed through 3′ adenylation\, and often gRNA-directed uridine insertion/deletion editing\, and 3′ A/U-tailing. Ribosomal and guide RNAs are typically 3′ uridylated. Historically\, the fascinating phenomenon of RNA editing has attracted major research efforts\, but more recent developments provided insights into pre- and post-edited processing events and identified key players in transforming primary precursors into functional RNAs and regulating their turnover. I will present a forward-looking model that integrates known modalities of mitochondrial RNA metabolism.

DESCRIPTION:Who was Agrippina\, what did she do and how was she constrained\, and what belonged to her? To write a biography of Agrippina the Younger presents a Roman historian with significant challenges\, including the limited number of primary sources\, even for this most notorious Roman woman\; authors’ clear biases against a woman aiming for power and “sex positive”\; and the versions of Agrippina created through time. Just as important are point-of-view and ultimate aim. Carandini assumes the first-person voice in his Io\, Agrippina\, but the personal voice is at odds with his book’s emphasis on spatial and historical contingency as a way to understand Agrippina. Barrett’s account in Agrippina: Sex\, Power\, and Politics in the Early Empire offers a thick description of facts relating to her\, illuminating the times in which Agrippina lived but doing little to make her come alive. My illustrated lecture covers such issues as well as some important insights gained from investigating a woman who was remarkable for many reasons\, not the least of which is the legacy constructed for her by others.

I show how the manuscript lyric anthologies known as *chansonniers *participate in the name games that are an integral part of troubadour lyric poetics. While names in manuscripts can be important evidence\, they do not correspond neatly to modern notions of the author as an individual with a fixed historical identity. By shifting the focus of inquiry to manuscript attributions\, and particularly to female author attributions\, I demonstrate the complexity of medieval understandings of lyric authorship. I challenge especially certain modern (and often gendered) assumptions about the authorship of troubadour songs\, and critique those book historical methods that can reinforce such assumptions. My conclusions are grounded in a new approach to troubadour manuscripts of the 13th and 14th centuries\, but the central issues of textual stability and authorial identity that I address are significant more broadly to both medievalists and modernists. My approach\, elaborated in my larger book project\, makes possible new ways of understanding the authorship of troubadour song.\n\nCo-sponsored by Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, Forum on Research in Medieval Studies\, Department of Musicology\, and the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts UID:66604-16767944@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66604 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Lecture,Music,Romance Languages LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - RLL Commons Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191021T114241 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191021T180000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Cancelled-Info Session: James C Gaither Junior Fellows Program DESCRIPTION:Event cancelled.

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:63992-16059382@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:20191022T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T180000 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.

At that time there were approximately 500\,000 Jews in Germany and approximately 180\,000 Jews in Austria. They were loyal to their country\, were part of the government\, and fought for Germany in World War 1. Hitler had a plan to annihilate the world’s Jews. Jews were stripped of their citizenship\, their property taken over and their means of a livelihood destroyed. Jews were given an X amount of time to find a country that would take them\, otherwise they would be thrown into concentration camps. Aside from the Dominican Republic\, Shanghai was the only place that remained open to these refugees without requiring a visa. Approximately 20\,000 German\, Austrian and Polish Jews were able to make the trip.\n\nBerl Falbaum\, is a former political reporter for the Detroit News. His family was among those that made the journey. In his presentation\, for those 50 and over\, Mr. Falbaum will describe his family’s experiences and those of other Jews. He has compiled and edited a book “Shanghai Remembered: Stories of Jews Who Escaped to Shanghai from Nazi Germany”. \n\nThis is the second in OLLI’S distinguished lecture series for 2019-20.

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:66701-16770240@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:20190920T130853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. 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.

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:67261-16831203@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:20191022T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T170000 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:58562-15002289@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:63803-15884093@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:63627-15820765@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:20191022T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T170000 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.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

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.

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.

Biofilms that form in nature typically feature different taxa\, species\, and multiple strains of the same species. These cells compete for nutrients and space. Due to the broad prevalence of biofilms\, bacteria have evolved various competitive strategies\, many of which are antagonistic. This includes a number of complex toxin delivery systems\, which kill competitors but not kin. Because biofilms are densely packed\, cell death and reproduction hold emergent mechanical consequences. When a cell dies and lyses\, the biofilm may partially ‘cave-in\;’ when a cell reproduces\, it pushes other cells out of its way. This deadly competition creates a feedback loop. Death and reproduction modify biofilm structure\; structural changes impact subsequent death and reproduction. In this talk\, I will explore the intertwined relationship between intercellular killing and biofilm materials properties\, explaining both the new physics that arises and its biological impact.

Practices that become popular based on promising case studies are especially susceptible to evidence reversal. Medical reversal occurs when a procedure that is common in clinical practice is shown to be ineffective or even harmful. Failure to quickly abandon reversed practices dampens productivity in the medical sector and results in wasteful spending. I present preliminary evidence about the speed of de-adoption\, using the procedures of vertebroplasy and percutaneous coronary interventions as case studies.\n\nMarlous will be presenting The Great Convergence: Skill Accumulation and Mass Education in Africa and Asia\, 1870-2010.\n\nAbstract: While human capital has gained prominence in new vintages of growth theory\, economists have struggled to find the positive externalities of mass education in developing economies. We shed new light on the economic significance of the global ‘schooling revolution’ by looking at a different indicator of human capital accumulation – the relative price of skilled labor – and placing it in a long-term global perspective. Based on a new wage dataset we constructed for various blue- and white-collar occupations in 50 African and Asian countries between 1870-2010\, we reveal that skill-premiums have fallen dramatically everywhere in the course of the 20th century\, and that they have now converged with levels that dominated in the West already for centuries. While such a ‘great convergence’ in skill-premiums is not a sufficient condition for Schumpeterian growth by itself\, the growing availability of affordable skills is a necessary condition. Our findings therefore shed a more optimistic light on the long-term economic gains of mass education in the global South than standard growth regressions have hitherto done.

The resulting decay of these traits under relaxed selection reduces an organism’s fitness in its prior environment. However\, how these traits subsequently evolve upon restoration of selection is not well-understood. We addressed this question using Escherichia coli strains from the long-term evolution experiment (LTEE) that have been independently evolving for multiple decades in the absence of antibiotics. We confirmed that these derived strains have typically become more sensitive to various antibiotics during this time. We then asked how readily the bacteria could overcome these losses of intrinsic resistance through subsequent evolution when challenged with these same drugs. In our study\, we focused on the role that genetic background plays in this process\, with attention to the tension between evolutionary repeatability and contingency. We found that idiosyncratic responses in evolvability dominated over trends of diminishing returns\, such that the potential to evolve increased resistance was hampered on some derived genetic backgrounds. We further subjected a time-series of clones from one LTEE population to tetracycline and showed that evolutionary constraint occurred early in its history. Taken together\, our results indicate that the evolution and diversification of a single species in an antibiotic-free environment can render resistance evolution unpredictable\, even for closely related strains. Current work is now centered on characterizing the genomic changes underlying resistance to address whether the same genes are the focus of selection when strains have evolved for decades in the absence of antibiotics.

This talk will examine the Romantic legacies of “freestyling” and politically engaged lyrics as they are referenced and performed in the work of Polish hip-hop artist Peja and his group Slums Attack. Capitalizing on the resonance between national and genre ideals of authenticity and speaking to and for marginalized communities\, Peja positions himself as heir to the Romantic poets whose work has shaped ideas of Polishness for two hundred years. In so doing\, he performs a vision a Poland that remains defined by its national past\, even as it embraces a modern global music.

Each features a debate team of 2 or 3 experts on opposing sides of a topic expressed as a declarative “motion.” The live audience votes (agree\, disagree\, not sure) before the teams present their rationale and pose questions to each other as well as provide responses to audience questions. After 90 minutes of this process\, the audience votes again---the team that has moved the most people to their point of view is declared the winner of the debate. This process allows time for full exploration of the topic on a point\, counter point basis. \n\nThe OLLI class leader\, Leo Shedden\, will select a topic from past episodes for viewing at home (online) with discussion to follow in week #1 (2-hour class). The class will select topics for week #2 and week #3. A few selections from the IQ2 archive follow:\n• Negotiations can denuclearize North Korea\n• Trigger warning: Safe spaces are dangerous\n• Western democracy is threatening suicide\n• The right to bear arms has outlived its usefulness\n• Better elected Islamists than dictators\nJoin us for this unique learning opportunity!

This exercise aims to obtain estimates at fine resolutions\, so that exposure data may reliably be related to health outcomes. In this setting\, substantial research efforts have been dedicated to the development of statistical models capable of integrating heterogenous information to obtain accurate prediction: statistical downscaling models\, land use regression\, as well as machine learning strategies. However\, when presented with the tasks of choosing between models\, or averaging models\, we find that our understanding of model performance in the absence of independent statistical replications remains insufficient. This lecture is motivated by several studies of air pollution (PM 2.5 and ground-level ozone) during wildfires. We review the basis for cross validation as a strategy for the estimation of the expected prediction error. As these performance measure play a crucial role in model selection and averaging we present a formal characterization of the estimands targeted by different data subsetting strategies\, and explore their performance in engineered data settings. A final analysis and a warning about preference inversion is presented in relation to the a 2008 wildfire event in Northern California.\n\nBIO: \nDr. Telesca is Associate Professor of Biostatistics at the University of California Los Angeles.

To this end\, we are mining large antibody libraries to identify antibodies that can target and act as artificial substrates for endogenous receptor-mediated BBB nutrient transport systems and ferry drug cargo into the brain. In addition\, the BBB can be disrupted in certain disease conditions such as brain tumors. For these applications\, we are identifying antibodies capable of targeting brain extracellular matrix to leverage this pathological BBB disruption for drug accumulation.   After conjugation to drug payloads that can include small molecules or biologics\, we have demonstrated that both classes of antibodies have the potential to deliver medicines to the brain.

But there is no consensus on what it would mean to actually solve this problem. In this colloquium\, I propose that turbulence is most fruitfully regarded as a problem in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics\, and will show that this perspective explains turbulent drag behavior measured over 80 years\, and makes predictions that have been experimentally tested in 2D turbulent soap films. I will also explain how this perspective is useful in understanding the laminar-turbulence transition\, establishing it as a non-equilibrium phase transition whose critical behavior has been predicted and tested experimentally. This work connects transitional turbulence with statistical mechanics and renormalization group theory\, high energy hadron scattering\, the statistics of extreme events\, and even population biology.\n\n___________\nTo get to the research auditorium\, enter via Building 18 Visitors entrance\, show ID\, up stairs to the right (the big granite egg) UID:68414-17080052@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68414 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,chemical engineering,Complex Systems,Interdisciplinary,Natural Sciences,Research,Turbulence LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 10 - Research Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200107T175709 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T190000 SUMMARY:Well-being:Walk-In Flu Shot Clinics DESCRIPTION:Walk-in flu shot clinics are for non-Michigan Medicine faculty and staff and U-M students.

Writing Western Nicaragua's Colonial and Post-Colonial LGBTQ Histories DESCRIPTION:Dr. González-Rivera's research on western Nicaragua's pre-1979 LGBTQ histories reveals a complex story. She documents a long-standing Indigenous “transgender” tradition in open-air markets\, which rests on pre-colonial economic opportunities for women in tiangues and Nicaragua’s unique association between commerce and femininity. Dr. González-Rivera further contends that contemporary Nicaraguan negative attitudes towards trans women\, while less prevalent than in other parts of the world\, do exist and are highly steeped in racism and classism due to the association made between trans women and indigeneity. This project thus concludes that working-class women’s continuous economic participation in Nicaragua is a symbol of indigenous resistance to colonialism as is the continued existence of trans women. This presentation also documents the invention of indigenous sodomy in Nicaragua and the ways in which the Spanish contributed to the creation of the contemporary Nicaraguan “cochon\,” the term used in the last hundred years to refer to presumably “passive” [“feminine”] male partners in same sex relations between men.\n\nCo-sponsors: Department of History\; Rackham Graduate School\; Colonialism\, Race\, and Sexualities Initiative (CRSI) in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG)\; Women's Studies\; Institute for the Humanities UID:67275-16831241@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67275 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Lacs Central American Contexts Series,Latin America,LGBT,Multicultural,Social,Social Justice LOCATION:Tisch Hall - Room 1014 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191018T091510 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191022T180000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Pizza with Professors DESCRIPTION:Join faculty\, graduate students\, and fellow students for pizza and conversation!

Stamps School of Art & Design and the Department of Art History.\n\nSince North Korea has been closed off from the world for more than seven decades and has been considered a pariah state\, when art from the DPRK trickled out to the world through small exhibitions and auctions\, most of those who evaluated the works were already inclined to judge them with preconceptions.\n \nThis talk by Professor BG Muhn will explore these outside perspectives on North Korean art\, specifically focusing on perceptions of chosonhwa\, the North Korean name for Oriental ink wash painting. We are familiar with the concepts of “art for art’s sake\,” “free expression\,” and “art created in accordance with an artist’s unconstrained free will.” Considering the context of the DPRK\, many people ask: Can art in a true sense exist in a socialist state? Professor Muhn will address the complexities embedded in the answer to this and other questions about North Korean art.\n \nA professor in the Department of Art and Art History at Georgetown University\, BG Muhn is also an accomplished painter who has achieved substantial and noteworthy professional recognition through solo exhibitions in venues such as Stux Gallery in the Chelsea district of New York City\, Ilmin Museum of Art in Seoul and the American University Museum in Washington\, DC. Muhn has received several awards for his artistic merits\, including the Maryland State Arts Council’s Individual Artist Award and Best in Show at the Bethesda Painting Awards competition. His artwork has been collected in museums and galleries\, which include the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in South Korea. He also has received acclaim in reviews in \"The New York Times\,\" \"The Washington Post\,\" and \"Art in America.\"\n \nIn addition to actively showing his artworks\, Muhn has taken a strong interest in and researched the relatively unknown field of North Korean art\, particularly chosonhwa or ink wash painting on mulberry paper. He made numerous research trips to Pyongyang\, North Korea\, over the last six years and visited art institutions such as the Choson National Art Museum\, the Mansudae Art Studio and the Pyongyang University of Fine Arts. His research is comprised of reviewing a prodigious amount of North Korean artwork in person and interviewing artists\, art historians\, museum staff\, faculty and students. Based on his work\, he has delivered lectures on North Korean art at academic venues and cultural centers including Columbia\, Harvard\, Johns Hopkins\, Georgetown and Ohio State universities\; the Watermill Center in Long Island\; the Korea Society in New York\; and the Wilson Center in Washington\, DC.\n \nHis research on North Korean art culminated in the book\, \"North Korean Art: The Enigmatic World of Chosonhwa\" (to be released in the fall of 2019)\, which was first published as \"Pyongyang misul: chosonhwa neonun nugunya\" in Korean by Seoul Selection in the spring of 2018.\n \nProfessor Muhn has curated two major North Korean art exhibitions\, one at the American University Museum in Washington\, DC\, in 2016 and the other at the Gwangju Biennale in 2018. The catalogue \"North Korean Art: Paradoxical Realism\" was published in English in conjunction with the Gwangju Biennale.

People with social anxiety often worry about seeming incompetent\, unintelligent\, or awkward in social situations. Symptoms like heart pounding\, shaking\, sweating\, dry mouth\, or “blanking out” are common symptoms. People with social anxiety may continue to worry about how they came across to others long after the event is over. This group can help you build skills to counter the effects.\n\nIf you think social anxiety is negatively affecting your relationships\, your work\, or your overall mental health\, this group might be the next step for you. Clinicians at the Psychological Clinic use evidence-based group therapy to help participants learn to identify and shift unhealthy thinking patterns. You will build coping skills and increase confidence in a supportive environment and at your own pace. The group will meet on Tuesdays\, beginning October 15\, 2019\, for eight weeks\, with an additional follow-up booster session a month after the program’s conclusion.\n\n\nIf you think this group is the right fit for you\, call the Psych Clinic at (734) 764-3471 to schedule an individual\, preliminary screening. This screening will take 30-60 minutes. Some insurance is accepted to cover the cost. Without insurance the screening cost is $20. This screening allows you to work with a clinician to determine if the group is right for you.\n\nPlease send referrals by faxing a brief treatment summary or evaluation report to the Psychological Clinic\, attention Michelle Van Etten Lee\, Ph.D. The fax number is (734) 764-8128.

The occasion they cite for the publication of this project is the 400th anniversary of the arrival of 20 African slaves at Port Comfort\, Virginia.\n\nThe Times project raises the question: Is race the driving force of history\, as the Times insists? Or\, as Karl Marx analyzed\, is it class? Is “anti-black racism … in the very DNA of this country” as the Times writes? Or is the history of the United States fundamentally the history of class struggle? As social inequality reaches record levels\, is America heading toward race war or socialist revolution?\n\nThe promotion of the 1619 Project takes place under conditions of expanding class struggle internationally and a growing interest in socialism among workers and youth in the United States. Its aim is to block the development of a united movement of workers across all races by cultivating racial divisions.\n\nThese meetings will refute the historical falsifications advanced in the 1619 Project\, explain their underlying political motivations and present the strategy for socialist revolution in America today.

Pretzer\, Senior Curator of History\, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture  \n \nThe Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture opened on the National Mall in Washington\, DC\, in September 2016.  More than six million individuals have visited the museum in its first three years of operation. \n \nThe Presidential Commission created in 2001 directed the museum to “give voice to the centrality of the African American experience and make it possible for all people to understand the depth\, complexity\, and promise of the American experience.”  \n \nFrom the beginning\, Founding Director Lonnie G. Bunch III and his staff heeded the exhortation of historian John Hope Franklin\, chair of the museum’s Scholarly Advisory Committee\, “to tell the unvarnished truth.” That principle energized an exhibition plan informed by public conversations\, a collecting program relying on individual and family legacies\, a narrative format balancing the personal with the social\, and a funding strategy emphasizing the “African American experience as the lens through which we understand what it is to be American.”\n \nThis presentation demonstrates the impact of these foundational principles and strategies through an illustrated tour of the inaugural exhibitions.\n\nThis program is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

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 22nd\, 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.

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:63992-16059383@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:20191023T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T180000 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:66701-16770241@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:20190920T130853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.

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 contrast with conventional “testimony” models--2 or 3 hours in front of a video camera--the instructor spoke with the same survivors over months\, years\, and - with a few people - even decades. The course also emphasizes listening attentively and in depth. That approach often yields surprising insights not otherwise attainable.\n\nCore topics include: (1) The psychological impacts of sustained hate\; in this case\, antisemitism\; (2) What does “trauma” mean and how is it related to other agonies survivors suffer (loss\, abandonment\, humiliation\, stigma\, etc.)? (3) How does the experience of survivors challenge conventional psychological assumptions about both injury and resilience? (4) How do listener expectations and capacities - actual and perceived - impact whether\, when\, and how survivors retell their memories? (5) What does it mean to be able to “listen” to someone who has gone through such experiences - and what is and isn’t the potential impact on listeners? (6) In what ways can it be informing to juxtapose Holocaust survivors’ experiences\, in the aftermath\, with the experiences of others who’ve gone through hells - especially other genocide survivors\, survivors of rape and assault\, and survivors of life-threatening illness (especially cancer)? (7) What will actually change when there are no living Holocaust survivors (not as obvious as it may seem)? \n\nSessions will be held on Wednesdays from 10am-12pm from October 23 through December 11 (no class on November 27). Instructor Hank Greenspan is a psychologist\, oral historian\, and playwright who has been interviewing\, writing about\, and teaching about Holocaust survivors since the 1970s\, now almost fifty years.

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:67261-16831204@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:20191023T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T170000 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:58562-15002290@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:63803-15884094@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:63627-15820766@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:20191023T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T170000 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.

Stop by during Jamaica's office hours! Jamaica Jordan is a senior\, Pre-Medicine student with a major in Gender & Health. Jamaica grew up in Detroit and attended Detroit Public Schools. Jamaica’s favorite activities are to watch movies and travel. Working for Semester in Detroit for the past 2 years has helped her grow in leadership\, team building\, communication\, and utilizing university resources. After interning at Eastern Market Corporation through Semester in Detroit\, summer 2017\, she was given the opportunity to continue working for Eastern Market the following summer\, working in the Market’s Nutrition Educational programs. In Jamaica’s previous three years at the university she has continued to be lifted by her mentors and values the work of mentorship\, this has lead her to accept a position with the Office of Multicultural Initiatives as an Academic Success Partner mentoring freshmen and sophomore students.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

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.

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.

Hydrodynamics is the universal effective description of transport in the long distance\, late time regime. We can gain insight into the process of thermalization from the time evolution of entanglement entropy\, for which I introduce an effective theory valid in the hydrodynamic regime. I derive this theory in the special case of holographic gauge theories\, and present strong evidence for its validity in any chaotic system. I discuss the interplay between this effective theory and chaotic operator growth that is responsible for the butterfly effect\, and present new general results on the Lyapunov exponent characterizing this phenomenon. I conclude with some exciting implications for quantum gravity through gauge/gravity duality.

I propose that extreme behaviors may be perceived as particularly instrumental to certain goals because of their potential negative consequences. This possibility is suggested by the principle of counterfinality whereby\, a means is perceived as particularly instrumental to one’s goals to the extent to which it is detrimental to alternative goals. In line with this notion\, we show that: 1) extreme behavior is more likely when its negative consequences are salient\; 2) people who are more concerned with finding the “best” means to fulfill their goals (i.e. people high in a regulatory mode characterized by assessment) are more likely to engage in extreme behavior to fulfill relevant goals\; 3) accessbility of relevant goals increases the likelihood of engagement in extreme behaviors by increasing their perceived riskiness and therefore their perceived instrumentality.

Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) formulations are commonly used to predict fluid flows due to their robustness and their relatively low computational cost in comparison to higher fidelity models such as Large Eddy Simulation (LES). However\, because of the various approximations at the basis of RANS turbulent models\, validation for the specific applications need to be carried out to assess the models’ capabilities to predict a given phenomenon of interest.\nThe primary goal of this thesis is to develop a high-resolution high-fidelity experimental database for the development and improvement of CFD codes\, and to gain physical insight into complex phenomena relevant to nuclear power applications. Two applications of interest are addressed: a) mixing and interaction of multiple jets in a uniform environment\, and b) propagation of stratified fronts in presence of positive and negative density gradients. When assessing the performance of CFD models\, it is important to determine whether\, for the specific phenomenon of interest\, the CFD predictions would lead to a conservative or non-conservative result. For example\, in the case of a PWR Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) accident\, an over-estimation of thermal stratification would lead to non-conservative results\, since the resulting core reactivity insertion will be under-estimated.\nHigh-resolution data collected from two experimental facilities designed and built to address jets interactions and propagation of stratified fronts will be discussed\, together with CFD validation results. Shortcomings of the current RANS models and efforts to understand the reasons for the inaccuracy of the simulations will be summarized as well. The data presented consists of experiments and CFD simulations under constant and variable density conditions\, and are accompanied with the uncertainties due to geometries\, algorithms\, reproducibility and repeatability of the measurements.\n\nChair(s): Prof. Annalisa Manera UID:68698-17138820@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68698 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dissertation,Energy,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences LOCATION:Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project - 2000A PML Conference Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190906T141748 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T153000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Speaking American English DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\n\nThe workshop will run from October 16 to December 18\, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27.

Design signatures can differ across levels of expertise of the designer(s) in significant ways. These representations have been shown to be effective for teaching undergraduate engineers about the complexities of design processes. \n\nIn this talk\, I will review the research findings from an analysis of verbal protocols from 177 individuals with a wide range of expertise (from beginning undergrads through expert professionals in industry) who solved 401 separate design problems. We found that individuals with more expertise 1) use processes that demonstrate a higher level of complexity\, 2) consider a broader set of information and objects during their design process\, 3) spend longer solving the problem they were given\, and 4) are more likely to demonstrate a cascade pattern in their tracing across design activities. I will also discuss several teaching activities that are derived from the research.

While the past is often privileged in discussions of language revitalization as an anchor of authenticity and cultural continuity\, present day language use in revitalization contexts also utilizes comics\, gaming\, memes\, and other creative and technological domains that position Native American languages as always simultaneously ‘once and future\,’ quondam and futurus.

To unravel regulatory programs behind these changes\, we profiled peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from young and old individuals (n=77) using ATAC-seq and RNA-seq technologies and analyzed these data via systems immunology tools. First\, we described an epigenomic signature of immune system aging\, with simultaneous systematic chromatin closing at promoters and enhancers associated with T cell signaling. This signature was primarily borne by memory CD8+ T cells\, which exhibited an aging-related loss in IL7R activity and IL7 responsiveness. More recently to uncover the impact of sex on immune system aging\, we studied PBMCs from 194 healthy adults (100 women\, 94 men) ranging from 22-93 years old using ATAC-seq\, RNA-seq\, and flow cytometry technologies. These data revealed a shared epigenomic signature of aging between sexes composed of declines in naïve T cell functions and increases in monocyte and cytotoxic cell functions. Despite similarities\, these changes were greater in magnitude in men. Additionally\, we uncovered male-specific decreases in expression/accessibility of B-cell associated loci. Trajectory analyses revealed that age-related epigenomic changes were more abrupt at two timepoints in the human lifespan. The first timepoint was similar between sexes in terms of timing (early forties) and magnitude. In contrast\, the latter timepoint was earlier (~5 years) and more pronounced in men (mid-sixties versus late-sixties). Unexpectedly\, differences between men and women PBMCs increased with aging\, with men having higher monocyte and pro-inflammatory activity and lower B/T cell activity compared to women after 65 years of age. Our study uncovered which immune cell functions and molecules are differentially affected with age between sexes\, including the differences in timing and magnitude of changes\, which is an important step towards precision medicine in older adults.\n\n3:45 pm - Light refreshments served\n4:00 pm - Lecture UID:68168-17020453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68168 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191023T181549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Development of metal-oxide clusters as charge-carriers for nonaqueous redox-flow batteries DESCRIPTION:Effective integration of renewable energy from intermittent sources (i.e. solar and wind) requires the development of efficient energy storage systems which can function in tandem with the electrical grid. Non-aqueous redox-flow batteries have emerged as promising systems for large-capacity\, reversible energy storage capable of meeting the variable demands of the electrical grid. The use of non-aqueous solvents increases the energy density of these systems\, however there are few electrolytes with sufficient solubility and electrochemical stability to function in organic media. In this work\, we investigate the potential for Lindqvist polyoxovanadate-alkoxide (POV-alkoxide) clusters to serve as both the anolyte and catholyte for symmetric\, non-aqueous redox-flow batteries. POV-alkoxide clusters display numerous\, highly reversible redox events\, and demonstrate significant solubility and electrochemical stability in organic solvents. These bulky compounds also demonstrate the ability to mitigate species crossover and membrane fouling\, thereby improving the energy efficiency and lifetime of flow battery cells. The application of POV-alkoxides as electrolytes in organic media demonstrates that the remarkable redox properties of multimetallic clusters can be harnessed for non-aqueous energy storage applications\, and represents an important new direction for the generation of high performance redox-flow batteries. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nEllen Matson (University of Rochester) UID:64523-16382900@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64523 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190917T100321 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191023T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture.

Kathy will talk about the community-driven listening network they invented\, the Local Voices Network\, and share what they've learned so far from chapters in Wisconsin\, New York\, Massachusetts\, and Alabama.\n\nKatherine Cramer (B.A. University of Wisconsin-Madison 1994\, Ph.D. University of Michigan 2000) is a Professor of Political Science and the Natalie C. Holton Chair of Letters & Science. During the 2018-2019 academic year she is a Visiting Professor with the Laboratory for Social Machines at the MIT Media Lab. She is an affiliate faculty member in the UW-Madison Elections Research Center\, School of Journalism and Mass Communication\, LaFollette School of Public Affairs\, Institute for Research on Poverty\, Center for Community and Nonprofit Studies\, Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education\, and Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems. Her work focuses on the way people in the United States make sense of politics and their place in it. She is known for her innovative approach to the study of public opinion\, in which she uses methods like inviting herself into the conversations of groups of people to listen to the way they understand public affairs. Her award-winning book\, The Politics of Resentment: Rural Consciousness in Wisconsin and the Rise of Scott Walker\, brought to light rural resentment toward cities and its implications for contemporary politics\, and was a go-to source for understanding votes in the 2016 presidential election (University of Chicago Press\, 2016). She has also published as Katherine Cramer Walsh and is the author of Talking about Race: Community Dialogues and the Politics of Difference (University of Chicago Press\, 2007)\, and Talking about Politics: Informal Groups and Social Identity in American Life (University of Chicago Press\, 2004). She was named a Wisconsin Academy of Sciences\, Arts & Letters in 2018 and is the recipient of the 2018 APSA Heinz Eulau Award for the best article published in Perspectives on Politics (with Benjamin Toff)\, the 2017 APSA Qualitative and Multi-Method Research section Giovanni Sartori Award for the best book developing or using qualitative methods published in 2016\; a finalist for the 2017 APSA Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award for the best book on government\, politics\, or international affairs\; the 2012 APSA Qualitative and Multi-Methods Research Section award for the best qualitative or multi-method submission to the American Political Science Review\; a 2006 UW-Madison Chancellor’s Distinguished Teaching Award\; a 2012-2014 UW-Madison Vilas Associate Award\; a 2015-17 Leon Epstein Faculty Fellowship\; and a 2017-2022 UW-Madison Kellett Mid-Career Faculty Researcher Award.

Therefore\, a robust control framework with full consideration of the hardware is crucial but not available yet even with the current state-of-the-art techniques. Kim will explain challenges between classical control techniques (e.g. bandwidth of feedback control\, uncertainty\, and robustness) and high-level planning (e.g. step planning\, visual perception\, and trajectory optimization). Kim will also showcase some of my recent results on various legged platforms delving in different functionalities and control formulations and why a systematic understanding is critical to accomplish dynamic locomotion control. The tested robots include point-foot bipeds (Hume\, Mercury)\, robots using liquid-cooling viscoelastic actuators (Draco)\, and a quadruped robot using proprioceptive actuators (Mini-Cheetah).\n\nDonghyun Kim is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a member of the biomimetic robotics lab\, which is known for building cheetah robots. Donghyun's primary research area is in dynamic locomotion of legged systems with a focus on the development of a control framework and its experimental validation. During his Ph.D. at UT\, Donghyun developed frameworks including joint-level feedback control\, whole-body control\, footstep planners\, and robustness analysis for passive-ankle biped robots. At MIT\, he developed controllers for high speed running of quadruped robots and demonstrated the Mini-Cheetah robot running up to 3.7 m/s. He is now extending his research area to a perception-based high-level decision algorithm to push forward robots' athletic intelligence.

Discovering themselves to be inheritors of an historical identity deeply marked by the Islamic tradition (an identity insistently denied and erased within Spanish nationalist discourse)\, these men and women have found Islam to be integral to their lives in ways that upset their coordinates of identity\, as Europeans\, Spaniards\, or Andalusians. In this talk\, and keeping in mind the theme of this workshop\, I want to think about historical memory as a medium of religious communication\, or more precisely\, of a religious interpellation addressed to a subject outside the bounds of that religion. While it is common to think about the legacies of al-Andalus as “cultural” rather than religious\, neither of these modern terms\, I argue\, can do justice to the disruptive impact of the Iberian past on those who listen to its call. Drawing on the archive of Andalucismo\, this talk asks: what does it mean for a modern European Christian to be the inheritor of a Muslim past?

Quechua/Aymara merchants\, often stigmatized as troublesome and unmanageable\, expanded rapidly to challenge the formal economy ran by merchants of diverse European as well as Middle-Eastern origins (mainly Croatian\, Lebanese\, Jewish\, Spanish\, Italian\, and German). \n\nGastón Gallardo’s presentation will explore the spatial consequences that rose from the “physical” creation of a Quechua/Aymara black market that commercialized with clothing and other imported goods. This black market created a vast ambulant commerce of informal nature that dramatically changed La Paz\, the site of Bolivia’s government. What did this mean symbolically? How should we conceptualize the enormous changes the city is encountering today between the rationalized European spatial models of the past and the new mestizo baroque architectural forms of the present? What are the connections between commerce and the vibrant mestizo festivities that have conquered artistically the traditional criollo city of the past? \n\nGastón Gallardo is a well-known Bolivian architect and urban planner. Professor Emeritus of the School of Architecture at Universidad Mayor de San Andrés\, the most important public university in Bolivia\, Gallardo has also been its Dean of the School of Architecture\, Arts\, Design and Urbanism\, from 2015 until 2018. He is also a founder member of the School of Architecture at Universidad Católica Boliviana\, and has taught at the postgraduate level at several other universities. He holds degrees from Universidad Mayor de San Andrés and Collegio d’Ingenierie della Toscana\, Firenze\, Italy\, and has done postgraduate work in territorial and urban planning\, in Italy and Argentina. Gallardo in widely published in Bolivia and Latin America\, and is currently Vice President of the Bolivian Association of History.\n\nGallardo’s presentation will be in Spanish.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, the Institute for the Humanities\, Rackham Graduate School\, and the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts.

Everyday experiences of racism\, discrimination\, or just subtly being made to feel “different” or like we don’t belong can cause our academics and social lives to suffer. This negatively impacts our mental wellbeing. Many students of color face the challenge of finding supportive and trusting resources that relate to their mental health experiences. Finding the solution to this lack of support has been a conversation that's been halted on campus for too long. At Wellness in Color\, we aim to tackle this challenge by facilitating dialogues to initiate the mental health conversation in our community. \n\nWe invite you to join us to talk about how students of color have persevered despite difficult moments at Michigan and how faculty and staff can play a role in creating a learning environment where students of color can thrive.\n\nThis student pre-conference is designed and facilitated by U-M students of color as part of the national Young\, Gifted\, @Risk\, and Resilient Conference which aims to promote the mental health and well being among students of color. \n\nSponsors: \nThe Steve Fund\, National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID)\, Program on Intergroup Relations (IGR)\, Trotter Multicultural Center (TMC)\, and the Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA) office.

With roots in the South\, but living in the North the family's ties to religious\, education\, and political leaders and institutions cast new light on the loyalties Americans felt towards their region\, nation and the institution of slavery. \n\nCentral to the story is Preston Davidson\, a Hoosier by birth\, who fought for the Confederacy alongside his Virginian cousins. On the other side\, stands his brother Dorman\, who fought to preserve the Union. How these two ended up on opposing sides of the greatest conflict in American history is the story of how familial expectations\, faith\, higher educational opportunities\, and political loyalties all played into the struggle over if the nation would be divided or united and whether or not slavery would flourish or be abolished.\n\nA native Hoosier\, Jason S. Lantzer holds a BA\, MA\, and PhD all from Indiana University. His research and writing interests center on the intersection of religion\, politics\, and law in American History. His book\, \"Rebel Bulldog: The Story of One Family\, Two States\, and the Civil War\" was published in 2017. Dr. Lantzer serves as the Assistant Director of the Butler University Honors Program.

This day-long conference will bring together leading researchers\, practitioners\, administrators\, faculty\, and students to focus on campus climate and mental health among young adult/college students of color.\n\nThe current dialogue on mental health among college students has become a nationwide priority. Students of color in particular are tasked with navigating unique circumstances that can negatively influence their mental health\, including racial/ethnic discrimination disparities in service utilization that can be exacerbated by discrimination experiences\, treatment related to immigration status\, and racialized sexual and gender marginalization. Yet\, there is a relative dearth of scholarship specifically focused on the roles and impacts of campus climates characterized by these types of experiences on the mental health and well-being of college students of color. Such gaps in knowledge inhibit our ability to fully provide high quality\, responsive\, and equitable and inclusive supports and services.\n\nThis national conference is a collaboration between The Steve Fund\, the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) and the Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI) at the University of Michigan. The conference curriculum is informed by the longstanding work of The Steve Fund and the latest research and insights from scholars and practitioners across the country. Conference participants will explore national and campus socio-political contexts and take away best practices in order to foster spaces and places that promote emotional well-being for students of color. We hope you will join us as we work towards advancing research and informing practice to better support students of color across the country.\n\nWe welcome you to visit the conference website to learn more.

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:63992-16059384@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:20191024T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T180000 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.

This is true for other items in popular culture like television\, movies\, and music.\n\nJoin the Library Diversity Counsel and the U-M Library DEIA team as we have a structured conversation around Robinson Crusoe and other forms of media that have popular or favorable legacies\, but contain problematic messages and content.\nFor more information and questions\, please contact Thomas Dickens\, Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Program Manager at dickenst@umich.edu.

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:66701-16770242@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:20190920T130853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. 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:67261-16831205@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:20191024T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T170000 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:58562-15002291@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:63803-15884095@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:63627-15820767@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:20191024T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T170000 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.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

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.

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. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931451@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191007T121739 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Power Family Program for Inuit Art: Tillirnanngittuq​ DESCRIPTION:An exhibition celebrating the exceptional gift of 20th-century Inuit art to the Museum by the Power family\n \nTwo fascinating stories converge in one very special exhibition: One tracks the development and subsequent worldwide acclaim of contemporary Inuit art from the Canadian Arctic. 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.

However\, this is a relatively new political phenomenon. In this lecture\, I provide a brief overview of the changes in the role of prime ministers and the power of public opinion over the past fifty years. I also show how changes in methodology and more frequent polls further accelerated prime ministers’ dependence on their approval ratings. Finally\, using available survey data\, I demonstrate how much the impact of prime ministerial approval on individual voting behavior has increased over time.\n \nProfessor Maeda earned his PhD in political science from the University of Michigan in 2001. His research interests include (1) public opinion\, (2) methodologies in survey research\, and (3) data sharing in the social sciences.

Misogynoir also expands the scope of examination and provides an inclusive focus on not just anti-Blackness and White supremacy\, but also intraracially\, in exploring how Black masculinity and Black patriarchy contribute to the objectification of Black women. To gain a sense of the interracial and intraracial experiences of Black women in gaming\, this talk will interrogate ethnographic observations and interviews with Black women and other women of color in online gaming communities. While these examples highlight the continued devaluation of women in public spaces\, my observational narratives weave together a simultaneous engagement with being a Black woman while online\, while gaming\, and while consuming mediated content about Black women in “the real world.” This transmediated engagement illustrates intersectional tech\,\nexploring the entanglements of visual\, textual\, and oral engagements of the Black body in both the digital and physical realms.\n\n\nKishonna Gray is an Assistant Professor in Communication and Gender and Women's Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago\, and a Faculty Associate at the Berkman-Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. \n\nPreviously\, she served as an MLK Scholar and Assistant Professor at MIT in the Women & Gender Studies Program as well as a Faculty Visitor at the Social Media Collective at Microsoft Research (Cambridge). \n​\nHer work broadly intersects identity and digital media with a particular focus on video games and gaming culture.

Did you know 92% of companies (including colleges and universities) use or plan to use social media to recruit. Many graduate students have a love/hate relationship with social media. They know they “have to do it” that it’s the “right thing to do\,” but is it necessary in higher education? You may be wondering\, if you are planning to go the faculty tenure route\, is it really necessary? At this workshop\, you will learn how to think more strategically about your social media strategy and presence as a scholar. More specifically\, you’ll decide what type of “professional persona” you are trying to portray and then you’ll learn some tactics and techniques for building your social media network.\nThis workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Space is limited. For faculty and staff\, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/K449A.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

Humans are altering these fluxes by perturbing terrestrial ecosystems through land use change\, land management\, and climate change. In this talk\, I explore how terrestrial processes\, ranging from leaf-level to global scales\, respond to human perturbations and\, in turn\, how changes to terrestrial ecosystems impact climate. Insight into the interactions between terrestrial ecosystems and climate is fundamental to understanding the future of our planet and the natural resources and ecosystem services it provides. This is vital to creating policies effective in regulating perturbations and improving the quality of life for human society.

Specific problems include robotic mixed-type decision-making problems and spacecraft multi-phase mission planning. We propose both off-line and online algorithms to empower autonomy in real-time.\nWe develop the off-line algorithm by first formulating such problems as a Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Programming (QCQP)\, with safety criterions as constraints directly. Subsequently\, to solve the QCQP\, an efficient optimization algorithm is proposed based on inexact augmented Lagrangian methods. Our algorithm admits simple subproblems with closed-form solutions\, which leads to scalability and real-time applicability. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness and efficacy of our algorithms. \nAlso\, for the online algorithm\, Control Barrier Functions (CBF) with forward-invariance is adopted to guarantee safety via calibrating the input from control algorithms. However\, CBF in high-order systems can often encounter infeasibility due to control limitations. To address that\, we learn a differentiable safety hyperplane getting the lower-order states involved. A feedback training scheme is developed to decrease the infeasibility rate recursively. Subsequently\, the newly learned safety hyperplane is added as a constraint in the CBF formulation. Simulation results on path planning demonstrate the improvement of the proposed framework.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nDr. Chuangchuang Sun is currently a postdoctoral associate in the department of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT. He received his Ph.D. in August 2018 from the Ohio State University and a B.S. degree from the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics\, China in 2013\, both in Aerospace Engineering. His research interest focus on control\, optimization\, reinforcement learning and applications in robotics and space systems.

Research in California has shown significant potential to lower methane emissions from waste management and subsequently increase short-term soil carbon (C) storage via amendments of composted organic material. However\, effective climate change mitigation will require long-term or sustained emissions reduction and C sequestration. We used field experiments and modeling to explore the long-term potential of improved agricultural practices on greenhouse gas emissions and ecosystem C cycling. A decade following a one-time application of composted organic matter to grassland soils\, amended plots accumulated approximately 9 Mg C ha-1 more soil C in the top 30 cm than paired controls. Aboveground plant growth was also higher in the amended plots after 10 years. Soil C stocks and C sequestration rates in compost-amended plots were resistant to rainfall and temperature changes predicted by Earth Systems Models (ESMs). We used two climate models (HadGEM and CanESM) and two climate change scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) to determine the sensitivity of rangeland C dynamics to climate change with and without composted amendments to the year 2100. Drier sites yielded surprisingly high rates of C storage and were less sensitive to climate change than wetter sites. We also used a new micrometeorological approach to estimate greenhouse gas fluxes from composted manure\, green waste\, and food waste\, the highest emitting organic waste streams. We found that manure and green waste had considerably lower methane emission factors than food waste\, and that all composted wastes had lower emission factors with composting than with landfilling or slurrying. Our results show that there are alternative management approaches can both lower greenhouse gas emissions and sequester atmospheric CO2 over short and long time periods\, and thus provide viable climate change mitigation approaches.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/0JjEXOx9mQ8 UID:65474-16605608@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65474 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191024T181547 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T171500 SUMMARY:Other:Measuring Students' Understandings of Multiple Representations in Chemistry DESCRIPTION: Learning chemistry requires students to become fluent in the symbolic language of chemistry. Developing expertise\, however\, requires that students move beyond manipulating symbols to create explanations using particulate models of matter for observations in the laboratory. Failure to accurately interpret and connect these multiple representations of matter is one source of students’ misconceptions. Our research group designs measurement tools to advance our understanding of how students understand and interpret representations for a variety of core concepts. Creating such measures presents multiple challenges with regard to establishing the precision and accuracy of the data. Insights regarding the underlying assumptions and appropriateness of commonly used psychometrics will be examined. Findings regarding students’ reasoning and misconceptions will be presented with examples drawn from general chemistry\, organic chemistry\, physical chemistry\, and biochemistry courses. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nStacey Lowery Bretz (Miami University) UID:65050-16509310@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65050 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191017T080416 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191024T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Technology-enabled structural health monitoring and control of large-scale structures DESCRIPTION:Vibration-based structural health monitoring (SHM) has tremendous\npotential to detect incipient failures of structures\, e.g. onset of damage\nand unexpected behavior during extreme climatic events\, so that\ncorrective actions can be employed in a timely manner.

POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews and the Politics of History in Today’s Poland DESCRIPTION:POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews opened its core exhibition less than five years ago\, but it has already attracted millions of visitors and massive and favorable media attention both in Poland and internationally\, and earned the major European museum awards. However\, since it opposed the so-called Holocaust complicity law in early 2018 and organized a large public program for the 50th anniversary of the 1968 “anti-Zionist campaign” in communist Poland\, it has become an object of media attacks and criticism by the government. This lecture will present the processes that had led to the establishment of the museum and its remarkable success. It will examine how these processes have changed under a culture war dividing the country\; a tendency for expansive government control\; and a memory policy\, which rejects critical coming to terms with difficult pasts as a “pedagogy of shame” and calls for a glorious vision of national history\, focusing on heroism and victimhood. \n \nDariusz Stola is a historian and professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences. He has published ten books and more than 100 articles on the history of Polish-Jewish relations\, the Holocaust\, international migrations and communist regime\, as well as on Polish debates about these pasts. In 2014-2019\, he was the Polin Museum director. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to copernicus@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

As we got to hear at the 2018 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey sing and play the guitar\, and their voices fit together as only brother duets can. The Cactus Blossoms were born and raised in Minneapolis and grew up on rock and pop\, but they always had a fondness for old-time country and folk tunes. They began playing as a duo in 2010\, soon they added classic-style originals to their repertoire and landed a band-in-residence spot at St. Paul's Turf Club. The Cactus Blossoms began playing clubs beyond Minnesota as headliners\, and toured with Kacey Musgraves. They were signed to the Red House label\, released their debut album\, \"You're Dreaming\,\" and saw their song \"Mississippi\" featured on Twin Peaks. The Cactus Blossoms come to Michigan with a new release\, \"Easy Way.\" New Orleans songwriter Esther Rose is special guest.
