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

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

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059392@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:20191002T093605 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T200000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:From Lab to Site: Innovation in Concrete DESCRIPTION:From the climate imperatives to make the built environment carbon positive to novel material forming techniques such as 3D printing\, concrete is undergoing a transformation along different fronts in the building industry. As computational design and digital fabrication technologies become mainstream in the AEC industries\, scaling up to address construction level challenges\, concrete holds tremendous promise for the future\, not only in shaping our built environment but also in how we build\, our ethos and aspirations. Yet\, there are many hurdles to overcome. With traditional building processes steeped in protocols and regulations\, moving R+D to the building sector requires an awareness of the different players\, institutions\, and contingencies that shape the contours of concrete innovation.\n\nWhat approaches contribute to a smooth transfer of innovations to the building sector? Given new modes of manufacturing\, what are the new codes and standards that will govern the path toward implementation? What cross-platform systems will need to be in place in order to facilitate automation and construction productivity? What are the new technologies and associated expertise that will emerge to redefine architectural practice and the building industry\, especially to navigate and manage the increasingly multi-disciplinary teams?\n\nThis symposium\, rather than a survey of contemporary concrete architecture\, brings researchers and industry experts together from diverse disciplinary fields and areas of production – history & theory\, engineering\, construction technology\, material science\, design\, and manufacturing – for a timely discussion centered on concrete as a building material with enormous potential for innovation. The symposium aims to foster and identify trajectories for advancing concrete research and align potential collaborative exchanges.\n\nCo-organized by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning and the University of Michigan College of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, the symposium will launch with an evening keynote lecture on Thursday\, October 31\, followed by a full day symposium on Friday\, November 1. The format consists of paired presentations centered on different topics related to concrete research\, with a second keynote lecture at noon. A closing panel discussion aims to chart trajectories and methodologies for research and collaboration. Friday’s event will conclude with an exhibition opening reception downtown at the Liberty Research Annex gallery\, highlighting some of the work produced by participants\, including a performance by Brandon Clifford and Davide Zampini of Cemex. \n\nThe symposium is free and open to the public\, and will also be available via live stream.\n\nKeynote Lectures:\nThursday\, October 31: Mark Burry\, Swinburne University of Technology\nFriday\, November 1: Sarah Billington\, Stanford University\n\nParticipants:\nLucia Allais\, Princeton University\nBrandon Clifford\, MIT\nBrian Ellis\, University of Michigan Civil and Environmental Engineering\nMike Fiske\, Jacobs Space Exploration Group (NASA Marshall Space Flight Center)\nMaría González Pendás\, Columbia University\nVineet Kamat\, University of Michigan Civil and Environmental Engineering\nAndrew Kudless\, CCA\nWanda Lau\, Architect Magazine\nVictor Li\, University of Michigan Civil and Environmental Engineering\nJerry Lynch\, University of Michigan Civil and Environmental Engineering\nJonathan Massey\, University of Michigan Taubman College\nWes McGee\, University of Michigan Taubman College\nForrest Meggers\, Princeton University\, Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment\nShadi Nazarin\, Penn State University\nTsz Yan Ng\, University of Michigan Taubman College\nSarah Nichols\, Rice University\nDavide Zampini\, Cemex\nSasa Zivkovic\, Cornell AAP UID:65602-16966893@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65602 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,Architecture\, Urban Planning,Civil and Environmental Engineering,concrete,Earth Day At 50,Energy,Engineering,Graduate Students,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T180000 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.

Evidence from Near-Miss Accidents DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nWe present evidence consistent with time-varying risk preferences among automobile drivers. Exploiting a unique dataset of agents’ high-frequency driving behavior collected by a mobile phone application\, we show that driving behavior changes after driving mishaps. Following “near-miss” accidents (measured by hard brakes or hard turns)\, drivers drive more conservatively\, which is consistent with increased risk aversion following such mishaps. In a preferred specification\, a near-miss triggers a reduction in driving distance of 8.12 kilometers\, in-car cellphone use by 88.80%\, and highway use by 34.88%. Calibration results indicate that such changes in behavior are consistent with an increase in risk aversion of [???]% and a reduction in annual insurance cost amounting to about 0.05–1.54% of the average car insurance premium.\n\nPaper joint with Yi Xin\, Caltech UID:68382-17071652@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68382 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 301 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191022T090100 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T110000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HistLing Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Guest speaker Martin Kohlberger will speak on \"The importance of variation in understanding language change: lessons from Shiwiar (Chicham\, Ecuador).\" UID:68670-17136729@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68670 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Language,Lecture,Linguistics LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 403 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191007T160727 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. 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:66701-16770250@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:20190802T181538 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mentoring Plan Workshop DESCRIPTION:This workshop helps to enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor. Faculty and students will work independently to identify their own objectives and styles initially\, and then faculty-student pairs have time to work together to develop a mentoring plan: a two-way document to codify goals\, needs\, and shared expectations.

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.

A long-standing problem with such regression analyses is the lack of effective diagnostic tools for validating model assumptions. The difficulty arises from the fact that an ordinal variable has discrete values that are labeled with\, but not\, numerical values. The values merely represent ordered categories. In this paper\, we propose a surrogate approach to defining residuals for an ordinal outcome Y. The idea is to define a continuous variable S as a ``surrogate'' of Y and then obtain residuals based on S. For the general class of cumulative link regression models\, we study the residual's theoretical and graphical properties. We show that the residual has null properties similar to those of the common residuals for continuous outcomes. Our numerical studies demonstrate that the residual has power to detect misspecification with respect to 1) mean structures\; 2) link functions\; 3) heteroscedasticity\; 4) proportionality\; and 5) mixed populations. The proposed residual also enables us to develop numeric measures for goodness-of-fit using classical distance notions. Our results suggest that compared to a previously defined residual\, our residual can reveal deeper insights into model diagnostics. We stress that this work focuses on residual analysis\, rather than hypothesis testing. The latter has limited utility as it only provides a single p-value\, whereas our residual can reveal what components of the model are misspecified and advise how to make improvements. \n\nThis is a joint work with Dungang Liu\, University of Cincinnati Lindner College of Business.

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:67261-16831211@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:20191105T122541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISD Manufacturing Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday\, November 8\, 2019 from 11:00am-12:00pm in Chrysler Center\, Room 151 (2121 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor) for our Manufacturing Seminar Series Speaker\, with Xun Huan\, Ph.D. Professor Huan is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan.\n\nIn this presentation\, Dr. Huan will talk about finding the most useful data and how using a careful design of limited data acquisition opportunities can lead to substantial resource savings.\nRSVP here: https://forms.gle/b94JCeg23jJwu3Li9 UID:68798-17153401@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68798 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Engineering,Graduate,Graduate Students,Integrative Systems,Interdisciplinary,Mechanical Engineering,Michigan Engineering,seminar LOCATION:Chrysler Center - Chrysler 165 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190826T134603 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M Structure Seminar: LRRK2\, Rab GTPases\, and Parkinson’s disease DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor\, Biochemistry\nTrinity College\, The University of Dublin UID:65766-16654001@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65766 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Lecture,Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190510T121534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T170000 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:58562-15002298@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:63803-15884102@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.

This paper tells the story of a research journey from that photo to my book manuscript\, The Sisterhood and Black Women's Literary Organizing. Taking my project as a case study\, I consider the possibilities and challenges of engaging archives of contemporary African American literature. This paper describes a number of Black Feminist research methods including simultaneously constructing and using archives\, engaging Black women writers across genres as theorists\, rendering women's work visible\, and grappling with loss.\n\nErica Edwards\n“Extraliterature and the Black Feminist Imperative”\n\nThis paper begins with the assumption that post-1968 Black feminist writing is a field through which to approach the questions of periodicity\, history\, and materiality that have animated recent studies of African American literature. I begin by juxtaposing two well known textual moments that expand literary capacity and\, at the same time\, destabilize the relationship between literature and knowledge at the very moment that Black writing finds its institutional home in the American academy: Shange’s “bring her out/to know herself/to know you” (c. 1974) and Morrison’s “Sth. I know that woman” (1992). Offering these two\nsentences/confessions/pleas/ songs as extratextual\, extraliterary actings (actings-out?) that perform a certain outwardness or extra-ness\, I move on to discuss the extraliterary imperative that guides June Jordan’s 1979 play\, The Issue\, and Gloria Naylor’s 2005 fictionalized memoir 1996. The extraliterary forms that crowd around the play\, on one hand\, and the memoir\, on the other hand\, demand what I want to call\, after Greg Thomas\, a “literacy of outlaws\,” a reading practice that indicts the contemporary critic's position within literary institutions and\, at the same time\, generates occult forms of knowledge that the critic can access\, although not unprobematically\, not exclusively\, and not without risk.\n\n\nCourtney Thorsson is an associate professor in the English Department at the University of Oregon\, where she teaches\, studies\, and writes about African American literature from its beginnings to the present. Her book\, Women’s Work: Nationalism and Contemporary African American Women's Novels (Virginia 2013) argues that Toni Cade Bambara\, Paule Marshall\, Gloria Naylor\, Ntozake Shange\, and Toni Morrison reclaim and revise cultural nationalism in their novels of the 1980s and 90s. Her essays have appeared in Callaloo\; African American Review\; MELUS\; Gastronomica\; Foodscapes: Food\, Space\, and Place in a Global Society\; Contemporary Literature\; and Public Books. With the support of a Public Scholars Award from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, Professor Thorsson is completing a book on Black Women's literary organizing in the 1970s.\n\n\nErica R. Edwards is Associate Professor of English at Rutgers University-New Brunswick\, where she holds the Presidential Term Chair in African American Literature. She is the author of Charisma and the Fictions of Black Leadership\, which was awarded the Modern Language Association’s William Sanders Scarborough Prize. She is the co-editor of Keywords for African American Studies\, published in 2018 by NYU Press. Edwards is the recipient of many prestigious fellowships and grants\, most recently having completed a residency at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. Her work on African American literature\, politics\, and gender critique has appeared in journals such as differences\, Callaloo\, American Quarterly\, American Literary History\, and Black Camera.

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:63627-15820774@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:20191101T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191101T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade.

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.

The team for the Academic Innovation software tool\, Tandem\, will give a presentation. Lunch will be provided. Please register for this event if you plan to attend. \n\nAbstract:\n\nTeam-based learning is an effective pedagogy that has the potential to increase student learning and motivation\, but it can also sometimes lead to inequitable or even toxic experiences.  We know that working well on diverse teams is an important skill\, but generic messages addressing cultural humility and pro-teamwork behaviors often fall short. \n\nTandem is a web-based\, customizable tool that provides research-based instruction and support for student teams at scale. Messages informed by an assessment of individuals’ and teams’ needs allow for brief “coaching” that can encourage students to (re)consider teammates’ perspectives and redirect maladaptive team patterns. Short lessons including opportunities for applying ideas to current teamwork experiences via reflection are pushed out regularly throughout the semester. Example lesson topics include: imposter syndrome\, equality in group conversation\, and tools for supporting collaboration.\n\nTandem can identify problematic DEI-related team issues and call them out for faculty. For example\, in the first year engineering course we co-teach\, women sometimes complete more of the project management and communication work\, and men sometimes do more of the physical building. That pattern is not meaningful if it only happens with a single team: many characteristics of the individuals on the team affect who does which tasks\, and gender is certainly not the sole determinant. However\, an instructor might wish to know about such patterns at the class level\, or even in the discipline more generally\, and Tandem includes algorithms to identify such information. \n\nTandem Team Bios:\n\nLaura K. Alford is a Lecturer and Research Investigator in the Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering Department in the College of Engineering. She researches ways to use data-informed analysis of students' performance and perceptions of classroom environment to support DEI-based curricula improvements.\n\nRobin Fowler is a Lecturer in the Technical Communication in the College of Engineering. She enjoys serving as a \"communication coach\" to students throughout the curriculum\, and she's especially excited to work with first year and senior students\, as well as engineering project teams\, as they navigate the more open-ended communication decisions involved in describing the products of open-ended design scenarios. She researches student experiences in team-based pedagogy.\n\nStephanie Sheffield is a Lecturer in Technical Communication in the College of Engineering. She currently teaches senior-level courses in Biomedical Engineering\, Chemical Engineering\, and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. Her research interests are focused on better understanding and improving the learning experiences of the students in her courses\, with current emphasis on the ways in which students engage with online resources and student attitudes towards working in teams in DBTC courses.\n\nAIM for DEI is an all new event series hosted by the Center for Academic Innovation that will explore how technology and innovation impact the inclusivity and equity of the learning experiences we create for our residential\, online and global learners.

Even when a suitable treatment is prescribed\, dosing it correctly remains a significant challenge because proper dosage is highly volatile among patients. This involves adaptively learning a personalized disease progression control model conditional on patient-specific contextual information. We formulate this as a new contextual multi-armed bandit under a two-dimensional patient-specific control with a nested structure\, which sequentially selects both treatment and corresponding dosage based on contextual information of patients\, with the goal of minimizing disease progression risk. We develop contextual learning and optimization algorithms that integrate the strength of contextual bandit learning with online convex optimization. Comparing with the clairvoyant optimal policy\, we prove a T-period regret\, which is provably tight up to a logarithmic factor. We illustrate the effectiveness of our methodology by using case data on patients with type 2 diabetes. We believe that our contextual learning and optimization framework could be widely used in many other service systems. \n\nBio:\nEsmaeil Keyvanshokooh is a PhD candidate in Operations Research at the Industrial and Operations Engineering department of the University of Michigan. His main research interests have broadly focused on developing efficient and effective data-driven algorithms with theoretical performance guarantees for several core problems in healthcare operations and medical decision making. Methodologically\, he focuses on statistical machine learning algorithms such as contextual multi armed bandits\, online convex optimization\, and reinforcement learning. For applications\, he focuses on online resource allocation for healthcare operations\, readmission problem\, managing chronic disease progression\, and personalized medicine.

As a result\, multiple efforts have been made to improve the leadership and performance of healthcare teams. Two studies will be presented that assess team training effects on teamwork behaviors and patient outcomes for emergency medical teams. In the first study\, a computer-based team training program was designed to familiarize emergency medical residents on eight teamwork processes. Results showed teams that received this training were significantly better than placebo training teams on both teamwork and patient care outcomes in high-fidelity simulated patient resuscitation scenarios. In the second study\, a simulated-based team leadership training program was designed to train trauma team leaders on behaviors important to action team leadership. In a randomized controlled trial\, trauma team leaders were video recorded in actual trauma resuscitations\, before and after training. Results showed a significant difference in post-training leadership behaviors between the training and control conditions. Furthermore\, leadership behaviors were found to mediate an effect of training on patient care with a significant indirect effect.

Rights of Neighbourliness: Decolonising Responses to Mass Displacement. DESCRIPTION:The 2019 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is \"Migration in the Islamicate World.\"\n \nFollowing postcolonial debates on the decentering of knowledge production\, and relational understandings of agency\, I explore hitherto unremarked upon popular socio-cultural memories of jiwār or a right of neighborliness as a means to (a) furrow other geographies beyond the humanitarian and (b) to interrogate the sacred/profane binary inherent to the concept of ‘religion’. In articulating a right of neighborliness\, refugee and migrant others in fact demand a right to the neighborhood. In so doing\, they interrogate both the poetics and politics of so-called sacred space. This reveals conviviality and neighborliness to be a fluid everyday strategy of encountering difference to help mitigate the possibility of conflict and bolster positive relations as refugees negotiate their new geography of exile. Attention is drawn not only to the limits built-in to thinking about the movement of refugees from the global South through European inflected ontologies\, but also understandings of where the sacred can be located. Based on ethnographic and interview data gathered during fieldwork in Damascus (2010-11)\, Gaziantep (2013) and Athens (2016)\, this paper examines the struggle for displaced people to claim a right of neighborliness. It considers the constraints on home-making for displaced populations. In the absence of a definitive legal status for forced migrants in the region\, relationships at the everyday local neighborhood level take on added significance in negotiating a geography of exile.\n \nTahir Zaman is lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Sussex and the Deputy Director of the Sussex Centre for Migration Research (SCMR). Tahir is primarily interested in matters pertaining to refugee agency and alternative socio-cultural understandings of refuge during times of mass displacement. Tahir’s work explores the social and cultural life-worlds of Iraqi refugees in Damascus\, where he undertook fieldwork in 2010 and 2011. His work also critically engages with the limits and opportunities of faith-based humanitarianism. Palgrave Macmillan published his monograph in 2016 under the title of ‘Islamic traditions of refuge in the crises of Iraq and Syria’. His current research interest focuses on the intersections of displacement\, humanitarianism and social economy.

Hunt Memorial Lecture DESCRIPTION:Gérard Mourou is Professor Haut-Collège at the École polytechnique. He is also the A.D. Moore Distinguished University Emeritus Professor of the University of Michigan. He received his undergraduate education at the University of Grenoble (1967) and his Ph.D. from University Paris VI in 1973. He has made numerous contributions to the field of ultrafast lasers\, high-speed electronics\, and medicine. But\, his most important invention\, demonstrated with his student Donna Strickland while at the University of Rochester (N.Y.)\, is the laser amplification technique known as Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA)\, universally used today. CPA revolutionized the field of optics\, opening new branches like attosecond pulse generation\, Nonlinear QED\, compact particle accelerators. It extended the field of optics to nuclear and particle physics. In 2005\, Prof. Mourou proposed a new infrastructure\; the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI)\, which is distributed over three pillars located in Czech Republic\, Romania\, and Hungary. Prof. Mourou also pioneered the field of femtosecond ophthalmology that relies on a CPA femtosecond laser for precise myopia corrections and corneal transplants. Over a million such procedures are now performed annually. Prof. Mourou is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering\, and a foreign member of the Russian Science Academy\, the Austrian Sciences Academy\, and the Lombardy Academy for Sciences and Letters. He is Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur and was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics with his former student Donna Strickland.

This fact has consequences for holographic constructs in AdS/CFT. In this talk\, I will focus on the causal and entanglement wedges. I will argue that\, in higher derivative theories\, these wedges should be constructed using the fastest mode instead of null rays. I will show that using this proposal\, the property of causal wedge inclusion\, i.e. the fact that the causal wedge must be contained in the entanglement wedge\, leads to more stringent constraints on the couplings than those imposed by hyperbolicity and boundary causality.

What do they believe\, and how did they take center stage in the American social and political consciousness?\n\nFrom a loose movement that lurked in the shadows in the early 2000s\, the alt-right has achieved a level of visibility that has allowed it to expand significantly throughout America’s cultural\, political\, and digital landscapes. Racist\, sexist\, and homophobic beliefs that were previously unspeakable have become commonplace\, normalized\, and accepted—endangering American democracy and society as a whole. Yet in order to dismantle the destructive movement that has invaded our public consciousness\, we must first understand the core beliefs that drive the alt-right.\n\nTo help guide us through the contemporary moment\, historian Alexandra Minna Stern excavates the alt-right memes and tropes that have erupted online and explores the alt-right’s central texts\, narratives\, constructs\, and insider language. She digs to the root of the alt-right’s motivations: their deep-seated fear of an oncoming “white genocide” that can only be remedied through swift and aggressive action to reclaim white power. As the group makes concerted efforts to cast off the vestiges of neo-Nazism and normalize their appearance and their beliefs\, the alt-right and their ideas can be hard to recognize. Through careful analysis\, Stern brings awareness to the underlying concepts that guide the alt-right and animate its overlapping forms of racism\, xenophobia\, transphobia\, and anti-egalitarianism. She explains the key ideas of “red-pilling\,” strategic trolling\, gender essentialism\, and the alt-right’s ultimate fantasy: a future where minorities have been removed and “cleansed” from the body politic and a white ethnostate is established in the United States. By unearthing the hidden mechanisms that power white nationalism\, Stern reveals just how pervasive this movement truly is.\n\n5 copies of the book will be given away at the begining of the event!

The SimCenter is the computational satellite to the eight experimental sites of the NHERI constellation. Its primary goal is to advance natural hazards engineering through the use of simulation. The center develops and stands-up open-source software to simulate the effects of seismic\, wind\, and water loads on structures with a focus on regional assessments of damage at high resolution under uncertainty. The SimCenter’s work includes both research and educational components. \n\nThe SimCenter has just completed Year 3 or its original mandate and now offers a wide selection of user friendly front end applications that permit local as well as HPC cloud based execution of simulations. Simulations can be of single detailed structural models subjected to a variety of harzards using state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice loading methodologies. They can also be of a larger regional nature using simpler models and further coupled to forward uncertainty propogation with Monte Carlo methods with or without surrogating. Engineering demands can be further propogated into damage and loss\, downtime and recovery\, using Hazus methodologies\, FEMA P58 methods\, or user provided techniques with our hazard-blind framework. All elements of the SimCenter’s software are desgined in a plug-n-play fashion to promote detailed research into natural hazard effects with the ability to see impacts on a larger scale.\n\nIn this presentation\, I will give an overview of the SimCenter’s recent activities and discuss research needs and how researchers can participate in the SimCenter’s activities\, along with a preview of upcoming developments anticipated in Year 4.\n\nBio: Sanjay Govindjee is the Horace\, Dorothy\, and Katherine Johnson Professor in Engineering. His main interests are in theoretical and computational mechanics with an emphasis on micro-mechanics of nonlinear phenomena in solid materials.

I have recently analyzed Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me (2015)\, Kiese Laymon’s How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America (2013)\, and Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie’s Dear Continuum (2015)\, among other texts\, as James Baldwin-inspired in-group gestures toward black love that are especially urgent in the context of anti-black violence and hyper-(cyber)surveillance. This talk will shift the analysis and diagnosis of black writers’ use of the second person by examining Coates’s Between the World alongside two other\, yet more recent memoirs: Laymon’s Heavy: An American Memoir (2018)\, which is addressed to his mother\, and Imani Perry’s Breathe\, which is subtitled A Letter to My Sons (2019). I want to put more pressure than I did previously on the relationship between the second-person mode of address and writers’ visions of political organizing and sense of historical change. There is something fatalistic as well as aspirational\, I will suggest\, in all three writers’ decision to channel Baldwin\, in particular\, now\, and to frame their stories and secrets as being of specific use to\, if not exclusively designed for\, their family members. What do we make of this move toward the domestic and the personal\, and how do things change when Laymon frames his text not as a letter but as a book\, and addresses his mother\, where Perry and Coates write to their sons? In short\, thinking critically about these three major writers’ second-person memoirs can illuminate the relationship between African American literature and the political imaginary now.\n\nMadhu Dubey\n“Racecraft in Contemporary African American Fiction”\n\nThis paper will look at the unique representational strategies through which contemporary African American novelists\, including Paul Beatty\, Percival Everett\, Jesmyn Ward\, Colson Whitehead\, and John Edgar Wideman\, are taking on the epistemic confusion surrounding public debates about race in the post-Civil Rights decades. Taking my cue from the term racecraft\, coined by Karen Fields and Barbara Fields to model a new kind of race critique suited to the exigencies of this moment\, I will argue that contemporary African American fiction yokes together questions of race and of craft in a manner distinct from earlier literary projects of demystification and corrective mimesis. Instead\, these novelists employ formal devices such as anachronism and parataxis\, literal-metaphorical conflation\, and inflation of the fictive realm\, in an effort to parse the contradictory truth claims constituting race as a false yet salient\, obsolete yet undead category in the post–Civil Rights decades.\n\n\nEmily Lordi is a writer\, professor\, and cultural critic whose focus is African American literature and black popular music.

Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback\, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.

I will discuss how these records were constructed\, including the dating of the records\, the basic characteristics of the records\, and interpretation of the variability observed in the records. I will then discuss how the monsoon records correlate with ice core and marine records and the resulting implications for understanding ice-age terminations (the ends of ice-age cycles) and abrupt climate change. I will also discuss how analysis of Hulu Cave stalagmites has led to the completion (at fairly high precision) of the calibration of the radiocarbon timescale\, with the Hulu analyses covering the older half of the timescale.

Ford School of Public Policy DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk\, Sarah will highlight findings from her recent research examining the disparate community responses to wind energy projects to extrapolate lessons that might apply to the nuclear industry. She'll talk about the importance of procedural justice in the planning process and the dangers of project proponents over-promising and under-delivering. She'll also discuss her research finding that there are some communities where wind energy is likely to be opposed\, even when developers do everything right. And she'll discuss how public policy - including tax policy and siting authority - can alter a community's willingness to accept a wind project. \n\nBio: Sarah Mills is a Senior Project Manager at the Graham Sustainability Institute and at the Ford School's Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP). Her Ford School research focuses on how renewable energy development impacts rural communities (positively and negatively) and how state and local policies facilitate or hinder renewable energy deployment. At Graham\, she leads a grant from the Michigan Office of Climate and Energy to help communities across the state incorporate energy in their land use planning\, zoning\, and other policymaking. Sarah has a PhD in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Michigan\, an MPhil in Engineering for Sustainable Development from Cambridge University\, and a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from Villanova University.

Straddling the established fields of English and Comparative literatures\, area studies\, postcolonial studies and globalization studies\, world literature urges new approaches across a comparative\, multi-scalar\, translational and inter-cultural space-time continuum\; a continuum that poses a serious challenge to a one-world and totalizing model of literary production in our capitalist era. In this regard\, both the ‘oceanic’ and the global south have emerged as powerful analytical frames. Oceans straddle traditional boundaries of nations\, races\, languages\, literatures and cultures. The millennial-long history of the Indian Ocean\, in particular\, encompasses scales of contact that radically transform our grasp of the history of global capitalism entwining Euro-American and Afro-Asian worlds. This talk will focus on the resonance of Indian Ocean worlds to imagining the Global South as a cartographic frame in the post-Cold War era\, and argue that the idea of world literature is unthinkable without this longue durée perspective.\n \nDebjani Ganguly is Professor of English and Director of the Institute of the Humanities and Global Cultures at the University of Virginia. She works in the areas of world literature\, postcolonial studies\, the global Anglophone novel\, Indian caste and dalit studies\, Indian Ocean literary worlds\, war and human rights\, and technologies of violence. Her books include This Thing Called the World: The Contemporary Novel as Global Form (Duke 2016)\, Caste\, Colonialism and Counter-Modernity (Routledge 2005)\, Edward Said: The Legacy of a Public Intellectual (ed. 2007) and Rethinking Gandhi and Nonviolent Relationality (ed.2007). She is currently working on two projects: a two-volume Cambridge History of World Literature (forthcoming 2020)\, and a monograph provisionally called Catastrophic Form: Drones\, Toxins\, Climate. Debjani is the General Editor of a new CUP book series\, Cambridge Studies in World Literature and serves on the advisory boards of the Harvard Institute for World Literature (IWL)\, the International Comparative Literature Association (ICLA)\, the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI)\, and the Academy of Global Humanities and Critical Theory (University of the Bologna).

We use this day to celebrate\, not mourn\, the lives of our beloved departed and rejoice by sharing ofrendas that remember the individual as they were in life. Although this festive occasion is meant to welcome our loved ones\, there are many lives that were forgotten both in life and death. These lives were victimized\, racialized\, and prosecuted during life as a result of structural racism and exclusion. This year\, we hope to raise awareness for the lives that were silenced and empower future practitioners to advocate for these communities and prevent future injustices.\nWe celebrate in community to provide space for the living and dead\, and invite you to join us for an evening of activities\, dialogue\, food and performances!

Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life.\n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern.\n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public.\n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

Here was a singer-songwriter with a striking baritone voice that made you feel like you'd been hearing it all your life\, with the songwriting chops to take on and see into nearly every type of song—from personal pieces about love and sadness\, to bemused observations about daily life\, political thinking-aloud\, and sheer unmitigated whimsy. Three and a half decades later\, John still calls himself an aspiring folksinger\, and his music has just kept getting deeper and better over his 15 critically acclaimed albums. John isn't on the road as much as he used to be\, so don't miss this chance to catch a folk classic.

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

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

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:66701-16770251@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:20191029T133142 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191102T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191102T103000 SUMMARY:Other:Museum Highlights Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

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.

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:58562-15002299@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:63803-15884103@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:63627-15820775@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:20191102T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191102T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988410@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:20191102T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191102T170000 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. 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.

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:63992-16059393@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:20191029T121537 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191102T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191102T150000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Feminist Art in Action Panel Discussion - Feminist Futures Series DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion about Feminist Art in Action with Stamps School of Art & Design Professors\, Irina Aristarkhova\, Carol Jacobsen\, Joanne Leonard and LeAnn Fields\, Senior Executive Editor\, University of Michigan Press.

Julia Truettner\, U-M preservationist and building historian\, describes the window as follows:\n\n\"The Fox memorial window utilizes many kinds of glass\, including roundels and chunks or nuggets\, as well as plated layers\, to produce a range of colors from rich claret and deep sapphire to greens\, golds\, and lighter shades of pinks\, yellows\, and blues. The abstract design incorporates not only geometric forms but also floral and vegetable motifs\, such as the green pods around the perimeter and the petal-like forms at the bottom\, which embrace the panels naming the honorees. These forms\, plus the medallion at the top with its floral images surrounded by roundels\, hint at Tiffany's coming mastery of landscape\, figural\, and ecclesiastical designs.\"\n\nSpace on the tour is limited to 30 participants. Please register by emailing cperson@umich.edu.\n\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please call the Kelsey at 734-764-9304 at least two weeks in advance.

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:66701-16770252@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:20191029T133142 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191103T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191103T103000 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:63627-15820776@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:20191029T133217 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191103T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191103T112000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Science Forum Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for 15-20 minute engaging science demonstrations that will help you see the world 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:58562-15002300@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:63803-15884104@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.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988411@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:20191103T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191103T170000 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. 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.

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:63992-16059394@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:20191003T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191103T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191103T131500 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.

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\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

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.

Kristina teaches undergraduate courses at KTH and KI and sometimes as guest lecturer in other universities\, in commissioned education at KTH and in post-graduate education at KI. An overall perspective that can summarize her educational standpoint is what she wants to accomplish with my teaching. She wants to create an interest in her topic and give undergraduate students opportunities to become good leaders\, and thus create sustainable jobs\, i.e. work that is sustainable from both economic and human perspectives.\n\nThis is a casual event is designed for OS and BLI students to meet Kristina and get a behind the curtain view of her leadership journey.\n\nRead Kristina's full bio here: https://staff.ki.se/people/krpalm UID:68787-17147193@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68787 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Breakfast,Leadership,Research,Sustainability LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 8th-floor Atrium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191104T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191104T180000 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 paper argues that the range of allocation policies used across U.S. cities involves a trade-off between two policy objectives: maximizing welfare gains for tenants\, and targeting the most economically disadvantaged applicants. Using waitlist data from Cambridge\, MA\, I develop and estimate a model of public housing preferences in a setting where heterogeneous apartments are rationed through waiting time. Counterfactual simulations show that the preferred mechanism depends on social preferences for redistribution. However\, many cities use systems that would be suboptimal in Cambridge for any value of redistribution.

Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. \n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public. \n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

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:66701-16770253@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:20191104T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191104T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mindfullness-based Dementia Care DESCRIPTION:A free\, 7-week program designed for family caregivers of persons with dementia.

A light lunch will be served. \n\nMonday\, October 28: Indo-Pacific Diplomacy:What to Look for at the November 4 East Asia Summit in Bangkok\n\nThe South China Sea. The Korean Peninsula. Trade tensions. Myanmar’s Rakhine State and the plight of displaced persons from the Rohingya community. These are among the many diplomatic issues expected to be discussed by the 18 leaders from around the Indo-Pacific Region participating in the East Asia Summit (EAS) to be held in Thailand on November 4. Retired U.S. Ambassador Daniel Shields\, whose 33-year Foreign Service career in Southeast Asia\, China\, Japan\, and Washington included deep involvement in the 2013 EAS in Brunei and the 2017 EAS in the Philippines\, will share personal insights\, as an experienced diplomatic practitioner no longer speaking for the U.S. government\, on what to expect from the 2019 EAS.\n\nMonday\, November 4: After the Bangkok East Asia Summit: Prospects for Diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific\n\nJust as the East Asia Summit (EAS) in Bangkok concludes on November 4\, Ambassador (Ret.) Shields will offer his personal views\, not U.S. government policy positions\, on what just happened diplomatically in Bangkok and what lies ahead for diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific Region in 2020. One of the unique things about the EAS system is the importance of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) chair/host country. Ambassador (Ret.) Shields will look at the transition from Thai chairmanship in 2019 to Vietnamese chairmanship in 2020. He will analyze what that might mean with regard to the South China Sea\, trade uncertainties and other challenges that lie ahead for diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific in 2020.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nAmbassador (Ret.) Daniel Shields consults\, teaches courses and conducts simulations relating to diplomacy and U.S.-Asia relations. From 2015-18\, while on detail from the U.S. State Department as the Diplomatic Advisor to the Commandant at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle\, Pennsylvania\, he helped educate future strategic leaders on how to integrate the diplomatic\, informational\, military and economic (DIME) instruments of power to achieve national security objectives. He served as the U.S. Ambassador to Brunei from 2011-14\, handling sensitive South China Sea-related issues in connection with Brunei’s hosting in 2013 of the various Summits involving the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Ambassador (Ret.) Shields led two other U.S. diplomatic Missions in Southeast Asia as Chargé d’Affaires (at times when no Ambassador was in place.) In response to an urgent request from the State Department\, he temporarily left the Army War College for six months in 2017 to serve as the Chargé at the U.S. Mission to ASEAN in Jakarta\, traveling to Manila to support participation by the President and Cabinet Secretaries in the ASEAN-related Summits. His other Chargé duty was for 15 months\, mainly in 2009\, when he led Embassy Singapore in supporting then-President Obama’s participation in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings.\n\nHis early to mid-career assignments were mainly in Japan and China\, including as Political Minister Counselor at Embassy Beijing from 2004-07. He speaks Japanese and Chinese. His first tour in the Foreign Service was as a Vice Consul at Embassy Manila from 1985-87\, where he witnessed firsthand and reported on the People Power demonstrations and the fall of the Marcos regime.

Specifically\, the findings indicate that complexity and bounded rationality can cause workers to overlook a dynamic aspect of workplace incentive contracts that would otherwise create perverse incentives to reduce effort\, the so-called ratchet effect. The findings are based on a combination of large-scale\, long-term field experiments within a warehouse\, online experiments conducted with the same worker population\, and online experiments conducted with workers on Amazon Mechanical Turk. The field experiments find only a weak ratchet effect. The online experiments build the case that for many workers\, particularly those with lower cognitive ability\, ratchet effects may be weak because in the relatively complex scheme\, the dynamic aspect of incentives is a shrouded attribute. Making the scheme simpler causes the ratchet effect to emerge. The evidence suggests that there may be an optimal degree of complexity that allows firms to harness static incentives while avoiding perverse dynamic incentives. A systematic analysis of what types of changes to the contract make the ratchet effect stronger or weaker provides findings with implications for incentive design as well as shedding light on the nature of complexity in general.

Then come learn American Mah Jongg. American Mah Jongg is a fascinating and rewarding game of skill and chance. It was originally brought to this country in the 1920s by Standard Oil executive Joseph Babcock\, who rewrote and simplified the rules\, forever distinguishing the game from the traditional version. If you have wanted to learn to play American Mah Jongg or are just curious about the game\, and are 50 and over\, this is the course for you. You will learn to recognize the tiles\, read and understand the “hands”\, and practice playing with ongoing review and support. \n\nThe course will meet Mondays from 1-3pm from November 4 through December 2 (no class on November 25). The course is taught by Instructor Miriam Shaw\, an expert player of many years’ experience. The purchase of a current Mah Jongg card is included in the class price.

South-South Relations in the Era of Far-Right Populism: The Syrian Refugee Crisis on Brazilian Television DESCRIPTION:The 2019 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is \"Migration in the Islamicate World.\" \n\nBrazil’s Arab and Arab-descended community\, numbering an estimated 7-10 million\, or 3.5-5% of the population\, has been quite visible in national life\, especially when compared to its counterpart in the United States\, which numbers 2.5-3.5 million\, or a mere 1% of the population. Since the early twentieth century\, the turco stereotype has been widespread in Brazilian literature and popular culture\, but in the immediate aftermath of 9/11\, television melodrama O Clone (The Clone) captured the nation’s attention with its depiction of Islam and Muslim immigrants in Brazil. Less than two decades later\, in April 2019\, and a few months after the election of a populist\, far-right president\, a new Brazilian telenovela focusing on Arabs debuted. Orfãos da terra (Orphans of the Earth) depicts the plight of mostly Syrian\, but also African and Haitian\, refugees fleeing civil wars and natural disasters to Brazil. This presentation will analyze the representation of the latest wave of Arab arrivals and compare it to earlier representations in the context of current cultural politics in Brazil. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nWaïl S. Hassan is Professor of Comparative Literature and English at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the President of the American Comparative Literature Association. A specialist in modern Arabic literature and intellectual history\, he is the author of Tayeb Salih: Ideology and the Craft of Fiction (2003) and Immigrant Narratives: Orientalism and Cultural Translation in Arab American and Arab British Literature (2011). He has translated Abdelfattah Kilito’s Thou Shalt Not Speak My Language from Arabic into English (2008) and Alberto Mussa’s Lughz al-qāf from Portuguese into Arabic (2015)\; co-edited Approaches to Teaching the Works of Naguib Mahfouz (2012)\; and edited The Oxford Handbook of the Arab Novelistic Traditions (2017). He is currently working on two books\, one on the institution of Arabic literature in the U.S.\, and another on Arab literary and cultural relations with Brazil. \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.

Agranoff Lectureship in Neuroscience DESCRIPTION:This annual lectureship features a pre-eminent neuroscientist and honors Bernard W. Agranoff\, a leader in biochemistry and an internationally recognized expert in the neurosciences. Dr. Agranoff is a graduate of the University of Michigan who returned as a faculty member in 1960. He served as the Director of Mental Health Research Institute (now known as the Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Institute) from 1985 to 1995 and was the Neuroscience Laboratory Building Director from 1983-2002. His scientific career helped establish that long-term memory formation requires de novo protein synthesis and also enhanced our understanding of the processes involved in nerve regeneration. The Lectureship builds upon a career dedicated to promoting excellence in research\, education\, and mental health care and is an enduring legacy to those seeking to improve our understanding of the brain and apply that knowledge to help those with brain disorders. \n\nDr. Richard Huganir is the 2019 Agranoff Lecturer. Dr. Huganir is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience and Psychological and Brain Sciences and Director of the Solomon H. Snyder Department of Neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. His career has focused on synapses in the brain. His research has shown that the regulation of receptor function is a major mechanism for the regulation of neuronal excitability and connectivity in the brain and is critical for many higher brain processes\, including learning and memory\, and is a major determinant of behavior. Moreover\, dysregulation of these mechanisms underlies many neurological and psychiatric diseases including Alzheimer’s\, ALS\, schizophrenia\, autism\, intellectual disability\, PTSD as well as in chronic pain and drug addiction. Dr. Huganir is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the National Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences.

The artist will present her digital works 'We are fragmented' and 'A dictionary of the revolution\,' reflecting on some of the questions and complications that arise when assembling text from other people's voices.\n\n'We are fragmented' was made in response to research conducted in five countries by the Centre for Applied Human Rights at the University of York. Researchers spoke with human rights defenders around issues of security and wellbeing. The artist was given access to a collection of fragmented transcriptions of these interviews and commissioned to make a work about them. At the time of making this work\, she was also completing the long-term project ‘A dictionary of the revolution\,’ an experiment in polyvocal story-telling of the 2011 uprising in Egypt and its aftermath. For the project\, she had collected over 200 hours of recorded conversation and woven transcriptions of this speech into 125 entries in ‘A dictionary’. Both works present new formats for reading through research\, based in intuition\, emotion\, and connection.\n\nBorn 1979 in the US\, Amira Hanafi has lived and worked in Cairo since 2010. Her work has been exhibited internationally\, most recently at Dokk1 Library in Aarhus\, Sodų 4 in Vilnius\, Studio XX in Montréal\, Flux Factory in New York\, and at the Lisbon Consortium in Portugal. Her texts have appeared in Ibraaz\, Matrix\, Makhzin\, Fence\, American Letters & Commentary\, and Index on Censorship\, among other publications. She is the author of the books Forgery and Minced English\, a number of limited edition artist’s books\, and several works of electronic literature\, including ‘A dictionary of the revolution\,’ which won the Public Library Prize for Electronic Literature 2019\, the New Media Writing Prize 2018\, and the Artraker Award for Changing the Narrative 2017. She earned a Master of Fine Arts in Writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2008) and a Bachelor of Political Science from Rutgers College (2000). \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please contact us at umichhumanrights@umich.edu\, we'd be happy to help.

Patterns in exoplanet populations\, compositions\, and planetary system architectures are already revealing the most common outcomes of planet formation. I will discuss how I use exoplanet systems as laboratories to test theories of planet formation. My work ranges from characterizing broad patterns across many planetary systems to studying individual systems through their transits\, transit timing variations\, and radial velocities. In the next ten years\, we will measure exoplanet multiplicities\, orbital periods\, masses\, radii\, eccentricities\, inclinations\, obliquities\, dynamical interactions\, atmospheric compositions\, and host star properties using a combination of ground-based and space telescopes. These detailed observations of our exoplanet laboratories will allow us to place the solar system in its galactic context.\n UID:64646-16404982@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64646 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191029T123022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191104T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191104T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Just getting started building a resume?

Working Things Out: Design-STS Transitions from Technical Formalization to Critical Imagination. DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore the notion that the fields of design and science and technology studies (STS) offer distinct but mutually enriching traditions of research and practice\, and that at their nexus we may discover opportunities for critical and creative engagements with both technologies and the built environment. Drawing from the author’s recent efforts\, including media archaeological\, data-ethnographic\, historiographic\, and pedagogical explorations\, the talk will articulate ways to mobilize STS themes and methods towards questions of design — broadly understood to encompass a diversity of conceptual and practical approaches to the production of artificial environments. It will show what we may gain by\, on the one hand\, creating the conditions for technologies to be formulated inquisitively to interrogate or renegotiate sociotechnical relations and\, on the other\, cultivating an interpretive attitude construing digital environments and human-machine entanglements as new and exciting sites of sociotechnical inquiry in the processes of designing and making. The picture that emerges is one of design as both a crucial phenomenon by which to understand and a sociotechnical ecology by which to thoughtfully re-imagine\, intervene\, and explore.\n\nBio: Daniel Cardoso Llach is an architecture and design scholar working on social and historical aspects of automation in design\, the politics of representation and participation in software\, and new methods for visualizing design as a socio-technical phenomenon. His book Builders of the Vision: Software and the Imagination of Design (Routledge\, 2015) uses STS methods and themes to show how postwar era research on computer-aided design (CAD) and numerically controlled manufacturing shaped a technological imaginary of design shaping present-day architectural ideas and labors.

Over the past ten years\, Cuba has witnessed the growth of a private economic sector dependent on tourism and the unfolding of a so-called “sexual revolution” aimed at combating homophobia and transphobia. Both of these reform movements have been criticized\, however\, for the lack of material gains experienced by women and Afrodescendants on the island. In response\, some independent projects have emerged that draw on histories of Afrofeminist and antiracist critique in Cuba to elaborate an Afroqueer social vision for the future. I examine the performances of Havana’s transformistas masculinas (drag kings) in this context to discuss how they critique normative masculinity\, create space for Black lesbian women\, and promote dignity for ordinary Cubans. This work\, along with the broader Afroqueer movement of which it is a part\, resonates with related artist-activism throughout the hemisphere that imagines social possibilities that go beyond the well-documented alliances between neoliberalism and LGBT rights.

But these products are only effective when they can be reliably delivered to the patients who need them\, and in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)\, health product supply chains are not as efficient or reliable as they need to be. Patients and providers often lack access to quality\, affordable medicines\, and health outcomes suffer as a result.\n \nGovernments\, businesses\, multilateral agencies\, and nonprofits are all play a critical role in LMIC health supply chains\, but each have their own unique perspectives\, processes\, and goals. Improving supply chain performance in this context requires a systems thinking approach\, one that combines traditional logistics management and optimization techniques with a more holistic understanding of how to incentivize and align the actions of diverse organizations. \n \nIn this session we will explore the William Davidson Institute's work in improving LMIC health supply chain performance\, and will highlight lessons and experiences that are applicable in any complex health system environment.\n\nMichael Krautmann joined the William Davidson Institute's Healthcare Initiative in 2015. His research and consulting work focuses on modeling\, investment decisionmaking\, and strategy development to improve the operational efficiency and service levels of public health supply chains. While at WDI Michael has helped develop several Excel tools and white papers that inform key elements of the supply chain design and strategy development process. He has also conducted strategic evaluations of ongoing supply chain programs in several countries\, helping client organizations improve their approach for providing technical assistance and delivering health products. \n \nMichael holds master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan.  Prior to joining WDI\, he worked for Lean Care Solutions\, a healthcare technology startup that uses predictive analytics to help hospitals improve patient scheduling and postoperative care. He also served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Zambia\, where he helped evaluate clinic-level supply chain practices for a United States Agency for International Development-funded health project.

The book explicates the logics of five key modes of alterity through encounters with which Persianate selfhood defined itself over the first millennium of Persian literature. Attending to these figures of foreignness lets us infer claims for the self through what the self expels\, fears\, desires\, deems ugly or appropriates. Conceived in five interlocking sections on the foreigner\, strange sexual practices\, the anthropology of barbarism\, linguistic barbarism and diasporic identity\, this book explores literary articulations of Persianate selfhood in multiple genres by putting into question modern studies that characterize pre-modern Persian literature in terms of confident humanist self-knowledge. \n\nKeshavmurthy is an Associate Professor of Persian Studies in McGill University’s Institute of Islamic Studies. He is the author of Persian Authorship and Canonicity in Late Mughal Delhi: Building an Ark (Routledge\, 2016)\, a monograph on the relations between poetics\, mysticism and politics in the works of the Persian poet ‘Abd al-Qādir Bidel (d.1720) and his circle. He teaches courses on Persian literature\, pre-modern Persianate literary theory\, and selfhood and autobiography in Islamic societies. He is currently making a verse translation into English of Amir Khusrow’s (d.1325)\, Persian romance\, Eight Paradises\, a translation into English prose of Daryoush Ashouri's widely acclaimed Nietzschean interpretation of Hāfiẓ\, ‘Irfān va rindi dar shi‘r-i Hāfiẓ (Tehran: Nashr-i markaz\, 2011) as well as working on a study of figures of foreignness in a millennium of pre-modern Persian literature. \n\nPlease email Shahla Farghadani (sfarghad@umich.edu) to receive a copy of the chapter in advance.

Emerging research suggests that practicing mindfulness may result in a number of beneficial outcomes for musicians\, including improved focus\, psychological resilience\, and pro-social feelings and behaviors. But what do we truly know about mindfulness and its potential to transform our life and work? How can we separate the hype from the reality\, and how might mindfulness fit into our already busy lives? In this talk\, Diaz will discuss the promises and perils of mindfulness from his perspective as teacher\, scholar\, and practitioner of this ancient practice. \n\nDiaz is associate professor of Music Education at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and an active scholar and teacher in the field of contemplative science. He is also affiliate faculty for IU’s Cognitive Science program and co-director of the Music and Mind Lab at Indiana.

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:63992-16059396@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:20191105T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T180000 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.

Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. \n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public. \n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

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:66701-16770254@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:20191105T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T163000 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.

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:58562-15002301@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:63803-15884105@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:63627-15820777@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:20191105T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade.

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.

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:63842-15931461@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:20191030T092509 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Complex Systems Seminar | Network reconstruction and community detection from dynamics DESCRIPTION:The observed functional behavior of a wide variety large-scale systems is often the result of a network of pairwise interactions between individual elements. However\, in many cases these interactions are hidden from us\, either because they are impossible to be measured directly\, or because their measurement can be done only at significant experimental cost. In such situations\, we are required to infer the network of interactions from the observed functional behavior.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present a scalable nonparametric Bayesian method to perform network reconstruction from observed functional behavior\, that at the same time infers the modular structure (or \"communities\") present in the network. I will show how the joint reconstruction with community detection has a synergistic effect\, where the edge correlations used to inform the existence of communities are also inherently used to improve the accuracy of the reconstruction which\, in turn\, can better inform the uncovering of communities. I will illustrate the use of the method with observations arising from epidemic models and the Ising model\, both on synthetic and empirical networks\, as well as on data containing only functional information.

Here\, I describe a definition-free approach to studying empathy using consoling behavior in the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster). I use a series of behavioral assays to demonstrate empathy-related characteristics and capacities in prairie vole\, including pro-social contact\, social buffering\, emotional contagion\, state matching\, and familiarity bias. I then explore the neurobiology of empathy using this model\, implicating the anterior cingulate cortex and the neurohormone oxytocin. Finally\, I demonstrate how empathy-related behaviors in rodents can be used to assess autism phenotypes by discussing my experiments looking at behavioral and neurological effects of developmental toxin exposure in mice. Animal models of empathy hold significant promise as outcome measures relevant to autism research.

In particular\, I will highlight how our work blends macroecological approaches\, physiological experiments in the lab\, and experimental manipulations in the field\, mostly on ants. My view is that this synthetic approach\, across scales\, is the best way to understand and predict how biodiversity responds to global change drivers. Field stations are perfect launching pads for this kind of research and for introducing students\, across disparate disciplines\, to biodiversity and the services and functions it provides. Field stations can also be hubs for interdisciplinary collaborations and provide opportunities to ask\, and address\, pressing and fundamental questions across fields. The UMBS has been both a launching pad and hub for decades and is poised for continued growth and success.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/ND2ttvGjZ7U UID:65003-16501302@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65003 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190904T104456 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Estimating the Unofficial Income of Officials from Large Asset Purchases DESCRIPTION:From a paper co-authored by Yongheng Deng (University of Wisconsin-Madison)\, Shang-Jin Wei (Columbia University\, FISF\, and NBER) and Jing Wu (Tsinghua University) \n \nProfessor Deng and his co-authors propose a method to estimate not only the relative size of unofficial incomes but also the pervasiveness of corruption based on large asset purchases. Additionally\, they applied this idea to a unique Chinese data and provide a first estimate of the proportion of officials who take in unofficial incomes. They have found that an average official’s unofficial income is 83% of his/her official income\, and 57% of the officials have an unofficial income and this proportion rises with the rank. They also tested and reject the notion that unofficial incomes are a compensation for below-the-market government salaries. \n \nYongheng Deng is a Professor and the John P. Morgridge Distinguished Chair in Business\, in the Department of Real Estate and Urban Land Economics\, Wisconsin School of Business\, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before joining Wisconsin School of Business\, Professor Deng has served as a Provost's Chair Professor of Real Estate and Finance\, Director of the Institute of Real Estate Studies\, and Head of the Department of Real Estate\, at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He was also a Professor in the Department of Finance at NUS Business School\, and Director of the Lifecycle Financing Research Program at NUS Global Asia Institute. Professor Deng was also a Professor at the University of Southern California (USC)\, School of Policy\, Planning and Development\, and the Marshall School of Business. \n \nProfessor Deng holds a Ph.D. in Economics from University of California at Berkeley\, and a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Wharton Real Estate Center\, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. While Professor Deng’s recent research interest is in evaluating conditions in Asian and China’s real estate markets\; his research pertains to a wide variety of issues in residential and commercial real estate finance and capital market worldwide. That includes real estate related financial capital market and asset-backed security pricing and risk analysis\, econometric analysis of competing risks of mortgage prepayment and default with unobserved heterogeneity. \n \nProfessor Deng has published his research works in leading economics and finance journals. Some of those journals include “Econometrica\,” “Journal of Financial Economics\,” “Journal of Urban Economics\,” “Review of Finance\,” “China Economic Review\,” “European Economic Review\,” “Capitalism and Society\,” and “Real Estate Economics\,” among others. Major global media have frequently cited his research works\, for example\, “Wall Street Journal\,” “New York Times\,” “Economist Magazine\,” “Telegraph\,” “Forbes\,” “People’s Daily” (China)\, and more. \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 predicts a stunning variety of phenomena to an extraordinary degree of accuracy\, and its impact goes well beyond the world of the very small and into our everyday lives.\nYet at its foundation quantum physics is seriously flawed\, the orthodox “Copenhagen interpretation” replacing locality with\, in Einstein’s words\, “spooky action at a distance”\; it is at once fundamentally concerned with measurement but unable to define it.\nWe will discuss this and several other interpretations using physicist/philosopher Adam Becker’s fascinating book\, \"What is Real?\".

In the first system\, we directly image the otherwise elusive crystallization pathways of nanosized colloids into superlattices\, where the discreteness and multi-scale coupling effects complicate the free energy landscape and the application forms of the final superlattices. We find that there exist similarities to the prevalent model system of micron-sized colloids\, such as a non-classical two-step crystallization pathway\, and an agreement with the capillary wave theory. But there are also differences\, in particular\, a universal layer-by-layer growth mode that we observe consistently for diverse nanoparticle shapes. Single particle tracking\, trajectory analysis\, and simulations combined unravel the energetic and kinetic features rendering this crystal growth mode possible and universal at the unexplored nanoscale\, enabling advanced crystal engineering. In the second system\, we sandwich and capture moving membrane proteins in their native lipid and liquid environment at nm resolution. The proteins exhibit real-time “fingering” fluctuations\, which we attribute to dynamic rearrangement of lipid molecules wrapping the proteins. The conformational coordinates of protein transformation obtained from the real-space movies are used as inputs in our molecular dynamics simulations\, to verify the driving force underpinning the function-relevant fluctuation dynamics. This platform invites an emergent theme of structural biophysics as we foresee. \n\nBIO\n\nQian Chen is currently an Assistant Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).

Evidence from the Great Migration DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe northern United States long served as a land of opportunity for black Americans\, but today the region's racial gap in intergenerational mobility rivals that of the South. I show that racial composition changes during the peak of the Great Migration (1940-1970) reduced upward mobility in northern cities in the long run\, with the largest effects on black men. I identify urban black population increases during the Migration at the commuting zone level using a shift-share instrument\, interacting pre-1940 black southern migration patterns with predicted out-migration from southern counties. The Migration's negative effects on children's adult outcomes appear driven by neighborhood factors\, not changes in the characteristics of the average child. As early as the 1960s\, the Migration led to greater white enrollment in private schools\, increased spending on policing\, and higher crime and incarceration rates. I estimate that the overall change in childhood environment induced by the Great Migration explains 28% of the upward mobility gap between black and white households in the region today.

Probing all of these with a single technique is consequently highly desirable. In this talk\, I will describe how resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) opens up important new possibilities for measuring these degrees of freedom. This includes observing precursor charge density wave correlations in cuprates [1]\, observing orbital hybridization in iridates [2]\, and characterizing the spin behavior within the transient state of photo-doped Sr_2IrO_4 [3]. \n\nReferences\n1.

Over the nineteenth century\, as Jews were emancipated and ghettos were dissolved\, the word \"ghetto\" transcended its Italian roots and became a more general term for pre-modern Jewish life. It also came to designate new Jewish spaces—from voluntary immigrant neighborhoods like New York’s Lower East Side to the holding pens of Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe—as dissimilar from the pre-emancipation European ghettos as they were from each other. After World War Two\, ghetto broke free of its Jewish origins and became more typically associated with African Americans than with Jews. Chronicling this sinuous transatlantic journey\, this talk reveals how the history of ghettos is tied up with the struggle and argument over the meaning of a word.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

Building on the phenomenon of Korean pop culture\, Youjeong Oh argues that pop culture-featured place selling mediates two separate domains: political decentralization and the globalization of Korean popular culture. The local election system introduced in the mid 90s has stimulated strong desires among city mayors and county and district governors to develop and promote their areas. Riding on the Korean Wave—the overseas popularity of Korean entertainment\, also called Hallyu—Korean cities have actively used K-dramas and K-pop idols in advertisements designed to attract foreign tourists to their regions. Hallyu\, meanwhile\, has turned the Korean entertainment industry into a speculative field into which numerous players venture by attracting cities as sponsors. \n \nBy analyzing the process of culture-featured place marketing\, Pop City shows that urban spaces are produced and sold just like TV dramas and pop idols by promoting spectacular images rather than substantial physical and cultural qualities. Popular culture-associated urban promotion also uses the emotional engagement of its users in advertising urban space\, just as pop culture draws on fans’ and audiences’ affective commitments to sell its products. Oh demonstrates how the speculative\, image-based\, and consumer-exploitive nature of popular culture shapes the commodification of urban space and ultimately argues that pop culture–mediated place promotion entails the domination of urban space by capital in more sophisticated and fetishized ways. \n \nYoujeong Oh is Assistant Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Her topics of interest include urban processes in Korea and East Asia\, development and social movement\, Korean popular culture\, and media and space.\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.

The event will be held in the Educational Conference Center of the School of Social Work (1080 S University Ave). She will discuss the intersection of U.S. Jewish identity and race\, as animated by modern movements for social justice. Informed by community pain-points such as Jewish communal reactions to the Women’s March and the Movement for Black Lives Platform\, Kaufman will explore notions of anti-Semitism\, community and movement-building\, and how to effectively partner with groups despite some fundamental disagreements and tensions. \n\nIlana Kaufman is the Executive Director of the Jews of Color Field Building Initiative. Kaufman’s work aims to draw attention to those in the Jewish community who have diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds\, namely non-white and non-Ashkenazi heritage\, or of multiple racial and ethnic identities. These individuals\, many of whom identify as Jews of Color\, have historically been underrepresented in our Jewish institutions and largely invisible in Jewish demographic studies. Through the Jews of Color Field Building Initiative\, Kaufman develops more accurate demographic information about how many American Jews of Color there are and how to create more inclusive Jewish communities. She focuses on grantmaking to programs that support Jews of Color\, research and field building\, and community education.\n\nThe event is generously sponsored by the Jewish Communal Leadership Program in the School of Social Work\, Trotter Multicultural Center\, Michigan Hillel\, The School of Social Work Office for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, LSA Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, and the Jean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies.

He is also the author of the recently released book Agents: The FBI and GPU Infiltration of the Trotskyist Movement.\n\nThe Socialist Equality Party (SEP) in the US and its youth and student movement\, the International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE)\, is holding a series of meetings on “Race\, Class and the Fight for Socialism: Perspectives for the Coming Revolution in America.”\n\nThis series is the socialist answer to the New York Times “1619 Project\,” which has been accompanied by an unprecedented publicity blitz\, including at schools and campuses throughout the country. 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.

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:63992-16059397@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:20191106T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191106T180000 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.

Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. \n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public. \n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

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:66701-16770255@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:20191106T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191106T163000 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.

This becomes acutely important in the face of climate change\; while new\, more sustainable materials are an important step\, material optimization strategies are just as important\, and these techniques rely almost exclusively on digital fabrication and robotic manufacturing and construction technologies. In this talk I will discuss the challenges and opportunities that face the use of robotics in the design and construction industry. We will discuss a range of existing and emerging design to fabrication workflows\, as well as several case studies which demonstrate how the use of industrial robots as a prototyping platform opens the door to new modes of construction. \n\nWesley McGee is an Associate Professor of Architecture and Director of the FABLab at the University of Michigan.

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:58562-15002302@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:63803-15884106@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:63627-15820778@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:20191106T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191106T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988413@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:20191106T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191106T170000 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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nResearchers want high-quality data from their participants. As long as many researchers across the social sciences have been collecting large amounts of data from online convenience samples like MTurk and Prolific\, some have expressed skepticism whether data from these sources are high-quality. Such skepticism stems in part from the fact that online survey compensation is often low (e.g.\, 10 cents per minute) and the fact that a concerning percentage of participants fail English language comprehension questions as well as attention checks. Despite plausible reasons to expect low-quality\, researchers have replicated online the psychometric properties of well-known personality and individual differences instruments (e.g.\, Big Five\, Adult Attachment) as well as classic experimental findings (e.g.\, framing and anchoring effects). Such findings suggest high-quality. But how? We wondered whether these data are of high quality in part because participants are simply motivated to thoughtfully and honestly respond to surveys for reasons other than money. Across four convenience samples\, we assessed data quality\, survey-taking motivation\, and self-reported engagement in surveys. I will present and discuss the results during my talk.

It is a highly heterogenous disease\, with seizures seen in a wide range of other diseases (Alzheimer’s\, autism\, Down’s syndrome\, etc.). Yet to date\, there is no method of categorizing seizures that can help distinguish the link between pathology and seizures. The aim of this work is to validate and explore a method of categorizing seizures based on their fundamental dynamics to provide a framework for future research to better investigate the underlying mechanisms of seizures and therapeutic approaches to stop them.\n \nThe first study used predictions from a previously-published computational model to visually classify seizures using dynamical transition features in two large datasets (simulated and real human data). Machine learning was applied to raw signal features to verify the accuracy of the reviewer’s labels. It found that visual classification is consistent and supported by the signal feature analysis. We also investigate the model’s predictions in real human data\, finding that most dynamic classifications were observed and patients can have varying seizure dynamics over time. A major unpublished aspect of this work is that the human data analysis was crucial in the original development of the model.\n \nThe second study used data mining and machine learning in a long-term rat model of epileptogenesis to investigate the viability of these same dynamic principles as a biomarker of epileptic brain state. It also applied the same rigor to an analysis of the response to electrical stimulation. We found that evoked responses can be used to predict if an injured brain would eventually develop seizures or not. Once seizures began manifesting\, both evoked responses and seizure onset dynamics had strong correlation with the progression of epileptogenesis\, suggesting they are independent biomarkers.\n \nFor the final study\, we use the same principles of dynamics and machine learning to characterize differences between a low Mg2+ / high K+ mouse brain-slice seizure model with and without different anti-seizure drugs. It found that anti-seizure drugs can change the observed seizure dynamics\, and each drug has a different effect on brain dynamics.\n \nThese three studies provide evidence that seizures can be categorized by their fundamental dynamics. These dynamics can provide mechanistic insights into current brain state\, future brain states\, and the response to anti-epileptic drugs. The results presented in this dissertation can be used as a framework to further investigate seizure mechanisms and personalize patient treatment and research.

In most cases\, these materials achieved outstanding mechanical properties avoiding the typical trade-offs often attained by manmade materials. While these materials require modern microscopy techniques to characterize their complex hierarchical structures\, most of our learnings come from the way these materials mitigate catastrophic damage\, revealing the most important mechanisms and features of their inner structure that contribute to energy dissipation and toughening. Considering the current progress in material synthesis and manufacturing\, these new concepts have converged to the field of architected materials. In this talk\, I will describe some interesting mechanics problems that we encountered as we studied some extraordinary species\, and how we can translate these lessons learned to architected materials. In particular\, I will focus on a few examples related to how the combination of clever architectures\, interfaces\, material properties and competing mechanisms can promote delocalization to mitigate catastrophic failure\, hence\, improving toughness and impact resistance without sacrificing other important mechanical properties. Most of this discussion is driven by how we can eventually translate these lessons learned to the development and manufacturing of architected materials.\n\nBio: Dr. Pablo Zavattieri is a Professor of Civil Engineering and University Faculty Scholar at Purdue University. Zavattieri received his BS/MS degrees in Nuclear Engineering from the Balseiro Institute (Argentina) and PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering from Purdue University.

What peripheral structures contribute to the variation of oscillation behaviors remains elusive. We computationally generated an atlas of oscillators and found that\, while certain core topologies are essential for robust oscillations\, local structures substantially modulate the degree of robustness. Strikingly\, two key local structures\, incoherent inputs and coherent inputs\, can modify a core topology to promote and attenuate its robustness\, additively. These findings underscore the importance of local modifications besides robust cores\, which explain why auxiliary structures not required for oscillation are evolutionarily conserved. We further apply this computational framework to search for structures underlying tunability\, another crucial property shared by many biological timing systems to adapt their frequencies to environmental changes.\n\nExperimentally\, we developed an artificial cell system to reconstitute mitotic oscillatory processes in water-in-oil microemulsions. With a multi-inlet pressure-driven microfluidic setup\, these artificial cells are flexibly adjustable in sizes\, periods\, various molecular and drug concentrations\, energy\, and subcellular compartments. Using long-term time-lapse fluorescence microscopy\, this system enables high-throughput\, single-cell analysis of clock dynamics\, functions\, and stochasticity\, key to elucidating the topology-function relation of biological clocks.\n\nWe also investigate how multiple clocks coordinate via biochemical and mechanical signals in the essential developmental processes of early zebrafish embryos (e.g.\, mitotic wave propagation\, synchronous embryo cleavages\, and somitogenesis). To pin down the physical mechanisms that give rise to these complex collective phenomena\, we integrate mathematical modeling\, live embryo and explant imaging\, nanofabrication\, micro-contact printing\, and systems and synthetic biology approaches.\n\nBlueJeans livestream: https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/live-event/rbuvycdc\nQiong Yang: https://medicine.umich.edu/dept/dcmb/qiong-yang-phd\n\n3:45 pm to 4:00 pm - Light refreshments\n4:00 pm - Lecture UID:68926-17197024@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68926 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:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191104T121154 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191106T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191106T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Distinguished Lecture. Global Challenges to Human Rights Today DESCRIPTION:From refugee crises and global poverty to rigged elections\, growing populism – and the intolerance and oppression it breeds\, we are at a pivotal moment in the fight for human rights. Throughout his years of service as a career diplomat and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights\, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein has been a champion for the protection of fundamental human rights. His work has involved the security of equality\, justice\, and respect – and has directly influenced international justice\, United Nations peacekeeping\, and women’s development. In this speech\, Zeid discusses his concerns about the threats to global stability posed by such forces as racism\, xenophobia\, nationalism and authoritarian leaders\, and poses that the safety of humanity will be secured only through vision\, energy and generosity of spirit. According to Zeid\, “Silence does not earn you any respect — none\,” and only through civic activism can we ensure equality and justice. \n\nPrince Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein of Jordan is the former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Known for his outspoken criticism of the fascism\, religious radicalism\, and threats to civil liberties growing in countries around the world\, Zeid was a powerful advocate for human rights and open societies. Zeid was the sixth High Commissioner for Human Rights\, serving from 2014 to 2018. He was the first Arab and Muslim to hold the post. In his speaking engagements\, Zeid draws from his career in diplomacy and as the Human Rights Chief to address the geopolitical climate\, relations in the middle east\, and the current challenges to human rights. At the U.N.\, he called upon powerful and small states alike to secure human rights in their own countries and internationally\, drawing notable attention to atrocities committed in Syria\, Venezuela\, Nicaragua\, by ISIS\, to the treatment of migrants and refugees in Libya\, and the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar. His principled approach to his role became most evident when he announced that he wouldn’t seek a second term due to the trying task of dealing with governments and the limited power of the U.N. security council. In his final U.N. address\, Zeid shared his concern about the threat to global stability posed by increasing nationalism\, and warned world powers against undermining civil liberties. A veteran multilateral diplomat\, Zeid was Jordan’s Permanent Representative to the U.N. from 2000 to 2007 and again from 2010 to 2014. From 2007 to 2010 he was Jordan’s Ambassador to the U.S. He also served as Jordan’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the U.N. with the rank of Ambassador from 1996-2000. An expert in the field of international justice\, Zeid was a central figure in the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC)\, chairing the complex negotiations to establish the exact terms of genocide\, crimes against humanity\, and war crimes. He was subsequently elected the first President of the governing body of the ICC in 2002\, and grew it into the internationally recognized court that it is today. Zeid has been active on many legal issues\, including international law\, post-conflict peace-building\, international development\, counter-nuclear terrorism\, and women’s development. Following allegations of widespread abuse being committed by U.N. peacekeepers\, Zeid was appointed by Kofi Annan as Advisor to the Secretary-General on Sexual Exploitation and Abuse. His report on this subject was the first comprehensive strategy for the elimination of sexual exploitation and abuse in U.N. peacekeeping operations. He recently pledged to be an International Gender Champion\, committed to advancing gender equality in the office of Human Rights. In 2018\, the International Women's Health Coalition honored Zeid with the Visionary Leadership Award. He was also the Stockholm Human Rights Award recipient in 2015 and winner of Foreign Policy's Career Diplomat of the Year Award in 2018. In 1989\, Zeid received his commission as an officer in the Jordanian desert police (the successor to the Arab Legion) and saw service with them until 1994. He spent two years as a political affairs officer for UNPROFOR\, the United Nations (U.N.) force in the former Yugoslavia\, before starting his diplomatic career. Zeid holds a B.A. from The Johns Hopkins University\, a PhD. in history from Cambridge University\, and was presented with an Honorary Doctorate of Laws by the Southern California Institute of Law for his work on international justice. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please contact us at umichhumanrights@umich.edu\, we'd be happy to help.

Despite the awareness about the links between this Southeast Asian archipelago and regions readily identified as Hispanic\, attempts to ‘world’ Filipino Hispanism are sparse\, if not invisible. What happens instead is a reiteration of a historical narrative that presents Spain as a backward imperial power in opposition to the liberating colonial project of the US\, which ruled the archipelago from 1898. This plays out in Hispanofilipino literature. This presentation will reflect on the question of worlding in Hispanofilipino literature and will examine translation as an alternative tool for engaging with the allures and discontents of a literature produced under the colonial condition and circulated in an intensely multilingual space.

Math was his most notable passion— by the time he was in elementary school\, he had already in mastered a middle school math curriculum. He later went on to represent the the North Korean team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Over the course of four competitions\, he had obtained a four silver medals. His success led the North Korean government to offer him a job\, but he did not want to work for the regime. The Hong Kong IMO was Jeongyol’s last chance to defect while abroad\; he was only 18 years old. While the rest of his team was packing for the return home\, he snuck out and sought asylum at the South Korean consulate. In 2016 Jeongyol resettled in South Korea and in 2019 started Seoul National University. \n\nIlhyeok Kim was born in 1995 in Saetbyeol when the famine had just begun. As a result of the famine\, his father became a broker who helped defectors in South Korea send money to relatives still in North Korea. When Ilhyeok was 12\, his father was caught and imprisoned\, but was eventually released for owning a Chinese cell phone. From that day onward\, the government kept a close eye on his family. Despite the repercussions they would face if they escaped\, they bravely decided to flee. In 2011 they arrived in South Korea. Ilhyeok aspires to work for the United Nations one day.

Despite this reality\, there is another truth: Opportunities to focus are still all around us. But we must recognize them and believe that the benefit of focus\, for yourself and the people you lead\, is worth making it a priority in your life. In other words\, before you can lead others\, the first person you must lead is yourself.\n\nMIKE ERWIN was born and raised in Syracuse\, NY. He has dedicated his life to serving the nation---and empowering people to build positive relationships. \n\nA 2002 graduate of The U.S. Military Academy at West Point with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics\, Mike was commissioned as an Intelligence Officer\, deploying three times between 2004 and 2009.

She studied sociology at the University of Michigan and is currently the owner and beader of QueerKwe Designs. Becca’s work aims to create representation for LGBTQ+ & Two Spirit indigenous folks by combining modern pride flags into her traditional beadwork. You can check out her work and mission on Instagram\, @queerkwe\, and Facebook\, QueerKwe Designs. \n\nThis lecture will explore the complexities of gender and sexuality within Native American communities and the ways these views continue to be impacted by colonization efforts. Traditionally fluid and accepting nations were forced to conform to rigid\, Western binaries through assimilation tactics\, such as compulsory Christianity and Native American Boarding Schools. Today\, LGBTQ2S+ and gender non conforming Indigenous people are reclaiming their space and traditionally sacred roles within their communities. Join us in learning about the emergence of Two Spirit identity\, a contemporary term created to reject colonial binaries and embrace traditionally fluid ideas of gender and sexuality within our Native American communities.

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.

The physics of photoacoustic wave generation has been compared to lightning and thunder. The interest in photoacoustic imaging has been steadily growing as optical contrast can be probed deeper in tissues compared to optical methods alone\, resulting in possibly one of the most exciting new biomedical imaging techniques of the decade. Ultrasound waves produced by the absorption of light in tissue can be analyzed by methods similar to those developed to analyze ultrasound backscatter signals in the field known as ultrasound tissue characterization or quantitative ultrasound. The physics of photoacoustic wave generation can help in the interpretation of the signals detected by ultrasound transducers in photoacoustics. In the absence of exogenous optical absorbers\, hemoglobin in red blood cells is the primary endogenous chromophore in tissues (as melanin is predominantly confined to the skin). The spatial distribution of red blood cells\, typically confined to the vasculature\, determines the frequency content of the ultrasound signals produced. Analysis of the photoacoustic signals can reveal information related to the tissue vasculature. We have applied these principles to cancer treatment monitoring and other blood pathologies. Tumor blood vessels have a distinct organizational structure compared to healthy blood vessels: typical\nvessel networks are hierarchically organized\, with vessels that are evenly distributed to ensure adequate oxygen and nutrient delivery. Tumor vessels are structurally different: they are torturous and typically hyperpermeable. Therapies that target the vasculature can induce changes in the vascular networks that\, in principle\, should be detected using photoacoustic imaging. In this presentation\, we will review the techniques we have developed\, which depend on the analysis of the frequency content of the ultrasound photoacoustic waves. We will show how we can use this information to filter vessels according to size with high specificity (resulting in a technique we have termed F-mode) and for non-resolvable vessels\, how the frequency content of the photoacoustic signals encodes information about the size\, concentration and spatial distribution of blood vessels. We also show how these techniques can be used to assess treatment response and speculate how we can use photoacoustic imaging to guide drug delivery and monitor its effects on tissues.

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:63992-16059398@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:20191107T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T180000 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.

Some have been tortured or killed through waterboarding\, others have been forced into oceans to die or disappear. Refugees across world regions have drowned crossing bodies of water in hopes for a better life. \n\nMillions of people all over the world are being tortured\, disappeared\, and forcibly displaced by repressive regimes and wars while governments of other countries are denying them a safe place to live. There are now as many as 1.3 million survivors of politically motivated torture survivors living in the U.S. And over 70 million refugees in the world according to the United Nations Refugee Agency\, the highest number in the almost 70 years since the refugee agency was founded.\n\nDuring this time of rapid political change worldwide\, the Blood Underwater Workshop and Exhibition offers an opportunity for students\, activists\, members of civil society organizations\, and NGOs to come together as change agents to protect human rights\, freedom and dignity\, and to spread peace\, justice and love.\n\nBlood Underwater is a collaborative work\, which encourages deep thinking and creative expression. It provides a voice for community members and activists\, especially from political\, national\, racial\, religious and other minorities\, to express their concerns about global suffering through art. Participants gather around a large canvas with paints and music and are guided through a series of artistic expressions by “artivist” Elshafei Dafalla. The purpose is to use art to protest against violence\, torture\, enforced disappearances and other forms of brutality.\n\nBlood Underwater is a demand for “freedom\, peace and justice” -- from San Salvador to Khartoum to Sindh -- and throughout the world. This visual narrative will recognize men and women who have been murdered because they wanted to live in freedom\, political prisoners\, people forced from their homes\, and those who have been tortured for standing up to dictatorships.\n\nThe Blood Underwater artwork narrative will connect participants to one another\, and to refugees\, asylum seekers\, political prisoners and others who have already died or are currently suffering in their own countries or in new lands. This collaboration and new knowledge will enable participants to reflect together about global suffering\, and what can be done about it.\n\n-------\nEishafei Dafalla received a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture from the College of Fine and Applied Art at the University for Science and Technology in Khartoum\, Sudan as well as a Diploma in Folklore from the Afro-Asian Institute at the University of Khartoum. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from the Stamps School of Art and Design at University of Michigan. Dafalla has participated in more than fifty exhibits worldwide\, and his work is part of public and private collections in Africa\, Asia\, the Middle East\, Europe and the United States. He continues to lecture and to exhibit his work\, holding artist residencies\, participating in community building activities\, and creating performative installation events around the U.S. and internationally. An extended interview with Dafalla was created by the Washington DC-based\, nonprofit\, Center for Concern. \n\nThe exhibition will be on display November 4-22\, M-F\, 10am-5pm\, at the Residential College Art Gallery at 701 East University Ave.\, Ann Arbor MI 48109. Free and open to the public. \n\nThere will be an opening reception for Blood Underwater with Elshafei Dafalla in attendance on November 1 from 6-8pm\, and refreshments will be served.

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:66701-16770256@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:20191107T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T163000 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.

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:58562-15002303@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:63803-15884107@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:63627-15820779@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:20191107T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988414@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:20191107T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T170000 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. Johe Endowment.

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:63842-15931463@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:20191101T063036 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:COME MEET WITH FACEBOOK!  DESCRIPTION:Facebook is partnering with the University Career Center & Services for Students with Disabilities office to invite students to Office Hours!

Furigana was used to indicate the pronunciations of various Kanji (Chinese characters).\n\nWhen Japanese people began to use Kanji to express both Chinese and Japanese characters\, they began to adopt Kanji even when they express Japanese words. \n \nAlthough Furigana\, as phonetic characters\, could express Japanese words\, Chinese characters continued to be used because a significant amount of Chinese words had already become enrooted within the Japanese lexicon. Both Chinese characters\, which are ideographic characters\, and Furigana\, which are phonetic characters\, were used in the Japanese language. This lecture covers the development and the influence of Furigana as “linguistic phenomenon\" in Japanese literary history. \n\nProfessor Konno’s specialty covers the history of the Japanese language from the 7th century to medieval to early modern period (Muromachi to Meiji period). His methodology is to find the common practice within the Japanese language during different periods of history and the language usage in art and everyday culture. His lecture is planning to focus on the development of KANA and the usage of FURIGANA and its influence on the literary expression found in various publications and art. His lecture should be of interest for both academic and layman audiences who are interested in Japanese Studies. His lecturer at Michigan should be informative for community members interested in Japanese culture.\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.

I will begin with an overview of the underlying framework to assess healthcare access with a focus on health policy making. I will use this framework to motivate the access model\, a classic assignment optimization but with many important computational challenges\, including spatial dependence in the outcome measures\, complex system constraints\, large-scale decision space among other. I will present computationally efficient methods for addressing large-scale optimization problems accounting for spatial coupling in the context of uncertainty quantification.\n\nBio:\nNicoleta Serban is Professor in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Serban's education and research trajectory makes her unique in the pursuit of data-driven discovery endeavors. While trained as a mathematician at the most prestigious university in Romania\, she pursued a doctoral degree in Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University. Her doctoral research focused on fundamental statistical methods with application to genomics and protein structure determination. After graduation\, she changed fields to take a tenure-track position in an engineering school at Georgia Institute of Technology.

At the same time\, the change these environments undergo can strongly affect humanity\, e.g. depleting water resources with retreating glaciers\, or changing weather patterns in North America and Europe with a warming Arctic. Therefore\, it is important to develop process-level understanding of such environmental change in order to more accurately simulate it and to develop future scenarios. \nAmong the many drivers of change are aerosol particles that can reflect radiation directly or indirectly via cloud formation\, and hence influence Earth’s energy budget. \n\nIn this presentation\, I will discuss the climate-relevant role of aerosol particles in extreme environments. The talk will cover field observations of deposited aerosols on glaciers in Central Asia and the implications for accelerated melt. It will also discuss how studying extreme environments that are in part still untouched by human influence -- such as the Southern Ocean or the high Arctic -- can help to better constrain anthropogenic radiative forcing globally caused by agents other than greenhouse gases. I will close the presentation with preliminary results from the recent Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition to the North Pole and give an outlook of what we expect from the currently ongoing one year long drift experiment MOSAiC in the Arctic.

Penrose Professor\nAerospace Engineering & Mechanics\nUniversity of Minnesota\n\nThe Boundary Layer Transition (BOLT) sounding rocket flight experiment will be launched in May of 2020. BOLT is designed to make detailed measurements of the boundary layer state and the onset of transition to turbulence on ascent at about Mach 5 and on descent at Mach 7.5. BOLT has a complex nose geometry\, highly swept leading edges and a concave surface\, which challenge the validity of conventional stability analysis methods. At Minnesota we have been developing new approaches for predicting instability growth for complex geometry flows. The seminar will discuss results and progress using high-order\, low-dissipation numerical methods to perform “quiet” direct numerical simulations of the BOLT flow field. The simulations reveal four different instability mechanisms\; these include with a vortical disturbance associated with boundary layer roll-up on the centerline\, traveling crossflow due to boundary layer distortion near the leading edge\, and a complex multi-mode instability near the trailing edge. Comparisons to the available wind tunnel data will be presented. The prospects for extending the DNS to laminar flow breakdown and transition to turbulence will also be discussed.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nGraham V. Candler is the Russell J. Penrose and McKnight Presidential Chair of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics\, University of Minnesota. He received his Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University in 1988. His current research interests are in the areas of computational fluid dynamics of hypersonic flows\, CFD method development\, high-temperature nonequilibrium gas dynamics\, re-entry and hypersonic aerodynamics\, and stability and transition of hypersonic flows. In his research\, he supervised the development of the data-parallel line-relaxation method and the widely used NASA DPLR CFD code\; he was instrumental in the development of the STABL boundary layer stability analysis tool\, and its three-dimensional version\, STABL-3D. He is a co-developer of the unstructured grid extension of the DPLR code\, US3D\, which is becoming a leading method for hypersonic and re-entry flow simulations. He has used these simulation tools to study a wide range of supersonic and hypersonic flows\, including supersonic parachutes\, ablating re-entry vehicles\, scramjet flow paths\, and hypersonic transition processes with high-enthalpy effects. He has published over 400 articles in various journals\, conferences\, and books.

This works because the CR absorption in systems having a parabolic dispersion—a reasonable description of most materials—is unaffected by inter-particle interactions. An intriguing corollary is that\, for instance\, in high mobility GaAs heterostructures when the electronic transport shows remarkably complex behavior in the fractional quantum Hall regime\, there is still only a single cyclotron resonance peak that is qualitatively little different from a low-mobility device. But: in materials with a linear dispersion such as graphene\, this proscription on spectroscopy of interactions does not hold. We have built a dedicated infrared magnetospectroscopy setup for exploring the cyclotron resonance of interacting Dirac systems\, and will report progress including an exciting observation of full integer symmetry breaking of the underlying Landau levels in monolayer graphene. We will also discuss plans for `shining light’ on other correlated electron systems.\n UID:65284-16565503@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65284 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191018T093754 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture. Using the United Nations to Help Free Political Prisoners in the 21st Century – The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention in Theory and Practice DESCRIPTION:In a period where the international human rights system faces growing strain\, Jared Genser’s United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention: Commentary and Guide to Practice is the first comprehensive review of the contributions of this important institution to understanding arbitrary detention\, rule of law\, and protecting human dignity today. The Working Group is a body of five independent human rights experts that considers individual complaints of arbitrary detention and decide whether a detention is compatible with international law. Since its establishment in 1991\, it has adopted more than 1\,200 case opinions and conducted more than 50 country missions. Written for both practitioners and scholars alike\, this book also covers five case studies – from China\, Turkey\, Myanmar\, The Maldives and France. The foreword is written by Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu.\n\nGenser’s lecture will provide important background and commentary on this little-known but very important United Nations body and he will bring to life how its opinions can be combined with political and public relations advocacy efforts to free political prisoners.\n \nReview of The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention: Commentary and Guide to Practice from Prince Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein\, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (2014-2018):\n \n“This meticulously researched volume is the first book to review the extensive jurisprudence and reporting of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention since its creation in 1991. Authored by Jared Genser\, one of the leading human rights lawyers in the world and someone who I had the pleasure of working with on many of his most challenging cases during my time as High Commissioner\, the book is written to be highly accessible even for those without legal background. Importantly\, Genser weaves into the narrative his experiences having successfully taken dozens of cases to the Working Group over his career\, explaining how he has combined its opinions with focused political and public relations advocacy to secure the release of his clients from prison. This rare combination of serious scholarship with real world application is as powerful as it is inspiring\, making this book a must read for anyone wanting to secure the release of political prisoners today.”\n\nJared Genser is Managing Director of Perseus Strategies\, a public interest law firm\, and an Adjunct Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center. Referred to by the New York Times as “The Extractor” for his work freeing political prisoners\, he was previously a partner in the government affairs practice of DLA Piper LLP and a management consultant with McKinsey & Company. Genser has taught semester-long seminars about the UN Security Council at Georgetown University Law Center and the University of Michigan and University of Pennsylvania law schools. He was an Associate of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University from 2014-2016. His past clients have included former Czech Republic President Vaclav Havel\, former Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed\, incoming Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim\, and Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Liu Xiaobo\, Desmond Tutu\, and Elie Wiesel. He holds a B.S. from Cornell University\, an M.P.P. from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government\, and a J.D. cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School. In addition to his most recent book\, Genser is co-editor of The UN Security Council in the Age of Human Rights (Cambridge University Press\, 2014)\, and The Responsibility to Protect: The Promise of Stopping Mass Atrocities in Our Times (Oxford University Press\, 2011). He is the recipient of the American Bar Association’s International Human Rights Award.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please contact us at umichhumanrights@umich.edu\, we'd be happy to help.

Increasing human activity restricts animal movements and isolates formerly connected populations\, a particular concern for the conservation of large carnivores\, but no prior research has used high throughput sequencing in a standardized manner to examine genetic connectivity for multiple species of large carnivores and multiple ecosystems. We used RAD SNP genotypes to test for differences in connectivity between multiple ecosystems for African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) and lions (Panthera leo)\, and to test correlations between genetic distance\, geographic distance and landscape resistance due to human activity. We found weaker connectivity and a stronger correlation between genetic distance and landscape resistance for lions\, and propose a new hypothesis that adaptations to interspecific competition may help to explain differences in vulnerability to isolation by humans.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/ekCd9EWl5G4 UID:65477-16605610@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65477 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191030T132838 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191107T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: The Truth of Place in Cities of the Habsburg Monarchy DESCRIPTION:How is “historical truth” inscribed or obscured in the material presence of cities? While much of East Central Europe belonged for centuries to the empire known from 1867 until its demise in 1918 as Austria-Hungary\, various agendas of this vast realm’s successor states were chiefly opposed to preserving its memory. And yet\, traces of this past are more integral to the present reality of these cities than they at first appear. Parallel examples of a few cities from Ukraine to Romania to Italy will open questions of how contemporary subjects relate to their place in space and time\, and of the landscape of memory and forgetting.\n\nScott Spector (PhD\, The Johns Hopkins University\, 1994) is the Rudolf Mrázek Collegiate Professor of History and German Studies at the University of Michigan He is a cultural and intellectual historian of modern central Europe\, specializing in Habsburg and Jewish culture.

A finalist for the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award\, the novel challenges modes of contemporary mythmaking and the validity and usefulness of our current narratives of success.\n \nChen’s essays and reviews have appeared in numerous publications\, such as the NY Times\, New Republic\, Village Voice\, and BOMB Magazine. She has received residencies and fellowships from the Asian American Writers’ Workshop\, Blue Mountain Center\, Banff Centre\, the Wurlitzer Foundation\, and she is currently a 2019-2020 Literature Fellow at the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart\, Germany. She is an assistant professor of creative writing at Columbia University.\n \nChen is currently at work on a hybrid memoir\, Clam Down (One World Random House)\, based on her mollusk column for the Paris Review. Bringing to mind Helen MacDonald\, Rebecca Solnit\, and Maggie Nelson\, Chen transforms the ordinary clam into an unlikely metaphor for deep self-examination—how the specific shells we build for ourselves reflect our experiences of grief\, assimilation\, and connection.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

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

In one of the most touching romances ever imagined\, a poor poet of the Latin Quarter meets his charming young neighbor by accident and both become completely smitten with each other.

Set in post-World War II Paris and filled with tenderness and pathos\, Puccini’s La Bohème captures the enthusiasm of youth and the joy of true love. \n\nLa Bohème has won the hearts of audiences since its premiere in 1896. It features the beloved and exquisite arias “Mi chiamano Mimi\,” “Che gelida manina\,” and the flirtatious waltz “Quando m’en vo.” The New York Times declared Bohème “the world’s most popular opera\,” and new listeners continue to discover its timeless story through Jonathan Larson’s beloved rock-opera update\, Rent. Whether this is your first experience or your tenth\, La Bohème’s spirited music and universal tale is sure to capture your imagination and your heart.

Listening to Lech sing\, it can be a surprise that he was born in Warsaw\, Poland\, and raised by Polish political refugees. He learned his vocal stylings from contraband American recordings of Sam Cooke\, Ray Charles\, and Louis Armstrong\, and later at Oberlin College and on the club circuit in Oakland\, California. With the additions of Johnny Bones on tenor sax and clarinet\, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards\, and Beau Bradbury on bass\, they’ve built a powerful full-band sound to support Wierzynski’s vocals. More like parties than traditional concerts\, their shows feature extensive off-stage jamming and crowd interaction. “The whole point is to erase the boundaries between the crowd and us\,” Wierzynski says. \n\nGuitarist Javier Matos opens.
