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

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

Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. She creates patterns within patterns\, representing vertical stacks of rhythms. The undulating forms\, such as water ripples\, oil slicks\, and refuse\, combined with the memories that water evokes\, makes her work eye-opening\, yet soothing and sensual. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1 \n1500 E.

A true Michigander\, Cavanagh was born and raised in Southeast Michigan\, attended U-M\, and currently works in Detroit. Cavanagh makes a concerted effort to exhibit as much as possible in her home state\, and when she is not in her studio\, you can find her cooking\, practicing yoga or playing with her cat\, Benji.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

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

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

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. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times\, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality\, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering.

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

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

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931460@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:20191029T133328 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191103T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191103T123000 SUMMARY:Other:Wonderful World of Whales Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

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.

From time to time they join forces\, and their new collaboration\, \"Beautiful Lie\,\" has been earning raves.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

The purportedly closed list of New Testament books generated new categories of Christian literature\, such as “apocrypha” and “ecclesiastical writers\,” which still shape how we understand the literary legacy of pre-modern Christians.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor of the building.

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.

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. Diaz is the founder and director of the Institute for Mindfulness-Based Wellness and Pedagogy\, where he collaborates with an international group of artists\, educators\, and scholars on disseminating research and best practices on the art of mindful living\, teaching\, and performance. Along with his work on mindfulness\, Diaz maintains an active schedule as a performer\, conductor\, adjudicator\, and clinician. His work on mindfulness has been published in top-tier music education and music psychology journals\, and has been featured on NPR\, The Huffington Post\, and other local and national media outlets.

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.

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. 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:58562-15002301@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. 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:68063-16988412@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:20191105T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191105T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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?\". Please read Part 1 (of 3) for the first session. The fourth session will be a discussion with an expert in the field\, TBD (possibly Adam Becker).\nCraig Stephan\, instructor\, is a retired physicist who has led several study groups at OLLI\, including ones on cosmology\, the Higgs boson\, and (concurrently) astrophysics.

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.

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.

As a student at Harvard\, David Wax began traveling south of the border to study and immerse himself in Mexico's traditional music and culture. Back in Boston\, he met fiddler/singer Suz Slezak\, whose love of traditional American and Irish folk music fused with Wax's Mexo-Americana into a singular\, energetic blend that captivated audiences and critics alike (Bob Boilen of NPR Music hailed their live performance as \"pure\, irresistible joy\"). Their 2010 breakout performance at the Newport Folk Festival made them the most talked-about band of the weekend.

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

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059397@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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Following his third deployment\, Mike attended the University of Michigan from 2009-2011\, where he studied positive psychology and leadership under the tutelage of Drs. Chris Peterson and Nansook Park. He went on to serve as an Assistant Professor in Psychology & Leadership at West Point from 2011-2014. \n\nWhile in graduate school in 2010\, Mike founded a non-profit organization named Team Red\, White & Blue (Team RWB). Team RWB’s mission is to enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their communities through physical and social activity. \n\nMike is the co-author of LEAD YOURSELF FIRST by Bloomsbury Press (2017). The book focuses on how solitude strengthens people’s ability to lead with clarity\, balance and conviction. The book profiles leaders including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr\, Winston Churchill and Jane Goodall\, and how they used solitude in some of their most pivotal moments.\n\nCurrently\, Mike is leading another non-profit organization that he co-founded in 2015: The Positivity Project. Its mission is to empower America’s youth to build positive relationships through a deeper understanding of positive psychology’s 24 character strengths.

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.

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

The 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.

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.

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.

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.

German-Jewish Subjects and Histories (University of Indiana\, 2017). He serves on the editorial board of the journal Jewish Social Studies as well as the series Nexus: Essays in German Jewish Studies and the book series Social History\, Popular Culture\, and Politics in Germany at the University of Michigan Press. He is currently working on a manuscript on the layers of historical traces in cities of the former Habsburg Empire\, a project he has been researching in the past year as a DAAD visiting professor in Potsdam and a visiting fellow at the Institut für Wissenschaften vom Menschen (IWM) in Vienna.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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.

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.

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:63992-16059399@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:20191123T063021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T103000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:KIPP DC School Visit DESCRIPTION:Join the KIPP DC Recruitment Team at our upcoming school visiton November 8th.

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:66701-16770257@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:20191108T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T163000 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.

By comparison\, practical applications of the normal means model are relatively rare\, and it has generally been overshadowed by methods like L1-regularization as a way of inducing sparsity. Here we argue that this should change: we describe some recently-developed Empirical Bayes ways to solve the normal means model\, and describe how they can be applied to induce shrinkage\, sparsity and smoothness in a range of practical applications\, including False Discovery Rates\, non-parametric regression\, sparse regression\, and sparse principal components analysis or factor analysis.

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:58562-15002304@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:63803-15884108@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:63627-15820780@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:20191108T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T170000 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:68063-16988415@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:20191108T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

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

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

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

Tan’s essayistic reflections on landscape are captivated by the unseen effects of rapid urban development\, radical transformations necessitated by growth. Sifting through the affective and psychic experiences of accelerated change by way of a postcolonial economic miracle\, she tries to find identity through evocative onscreen encounters with visual media\, local soundscapes\, architecture\, and cartography. The films tend to refuse the more common artistic recourse to nostalgia\, and defy a critical tendency to circumscribe the island’s national cinema in direct relation to social and political specificity in a traditional sense. Her most recent work casts aside the pretense of national essentialism\, to dwell instead on the timeless qualities of non-places. Within these anonymous and alienating “any-space-whatevers\,” we come upon the most lucid understanding of what it means to be from somewhere that perhaps\, ironically\, never was.\n\n Gerald Sim is an associate professor of film and media studies at Florida Atlantic University\, the author of The Subject of Film and Race: Retheorizing Politics\, Ideology\, and Cinema (2014)\, and Lee Kong Chian NUS-Stanford Distinguished Fellow on Contemporary Southeast Asia.

In some areas of the world the introduction of Bd to naïve host communities resulted in epidemics of the disease chytridiomycosis that caused numerous declines and extinctions. Our work in western Panama\, which experienced die-offs in the mid-2000s\, has focused on understanding what comes after such epidemics\, testing hypotheses about the roles of host and pathogen evolution in the shift to endemic dynamics\, or the persistence of host and pathogen in a shared environment. Another focus of my lab’s efforts has been on clarifying how both current (i.e.\, seasonal) and predicted future changes in climate shape the risk of disease related declines in North American frogs. Using a combination of field studies and experiments\, we have begun to clarify the effect of temperature on host immune defenses and susceptibility to chytridiomycosis\, and how the opportunity for thermally-mediated host defense varies in space and time. Using mesocosm studies\, we are also investigating how climate-induced stress experienced during larval development impacts later life traits\, like immune defense and thermal tolerance\, that affect fitness in a broader context.\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) is a tremendous resource\, with strengths in research\, education and community engagement. Drawing on my experience as a field station researcher and director\, I’ll conclude my seminar by outlining my vision for the future of the UMBS. Here I’ll highlight ways we can build upon the station’s existing strengths to promote more collaborative and interdisciplinary research\, demonstrate excellence in place-based teaching and learning\, and strengthen interactions between field station users and both the U of M and Northern Michigan communities.\nImage by Ashley Cecil UID:68572-17103239@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68572 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191031T160150 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T140000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:EIHS Symposium: Rethinking Time\, Thinking Multitemporally DESCRIPTION:Time\, the messy stuff of historical accounts\, constitutes a rich nexus of possibilities. Yes\, it moves steadily forward. Still\, there were and are many times: Measured times\, imagined times\, lived times\, narrated times\, subaltern times\, and other times await those who tend to temporal rhythms analytically\, in the past as well as in the present.

While the demand uncertainty is exogenous (stemming from the random patient census)\, the absenteeism uncertainty is endogenous\, i.e.\, the number of nurses who show up for work partially depends on the nurse staffing level. For the quality of care\, many hospitals have developed float pools of nurses by cross-training\, so that a pool nurse can be assigned to the units short of nurses. In this paper\, we propose a distributionally robust nurse staffing (DRNS) model that considers both exogenous and endogenous uncertainties. We derive a separation algorithm to solve this model under an arbitrary structure of float pools. In addition\, we identify several pool structures that often arise in practice and recast the corresponding DRNS model as a monolithic mixed-integer linear program\, which facilitates off-the-shelf commercial solvers. Furthermore\, we optimize the float pool design to reduce the cross-training while achieving a specified target staffing costs. The numerical case studies\, based on the data of a collaborating hospital\, suggest that the units with high absenteeism probability should be pooled together.\n\nBio:\nMinseok Ryu is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan (U-M).

DESCRIPTION:The analysis of ocean color satellite data has detected summer blooms of chlorophyll that consistently develop in the oligotrophic North Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and 30°N. In this seminar I will describe the features of these blooms and discuss the potential biological and physical forcing mechanisms that cause them. Based on limited field sampling it appears that these blooms often contain diatom—diazotrophic associations (DDAs). Blooms of both Hemiaulus and Rhizosolenia diatoms\, both containing the nitrogen-fixing endophyte Richelia intracellularis\, have been sampled within the satellite-defined bloom features. The blooms develop in late summer in a very consistent location\, ~30°N\, and 130-150°W\, and they occur almost every year. The general oceanography principals that explain the global chlorophyll distribution cannot account for these blooms\, and their existence suggests evidence of enhanced tidal mixing in this area. The region near 30° is a “double” critical latitude\, with a transformation of internal waves occurring at both diurnal and semidiurnal frequencies. The breakdown at the critical latitude of internal waves generated at Hawaii could provide the physical mechanism to explain these blooms. Subsurface data will be also be presented from a Biogeochemical-Argo float that collected data synoptic with the development of a chlorophyll bloom in 2014.

Day DESCRIPTION:Cancer patient survivorship has increased substantially over the past few decades due to advances in anticancer treatments. However\, a common deleterious effect of these lifesaving treatments is premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)\, as they are gonadotoxic. POI leads to infertility and loss of ovarian endocrine function\, which is particularly devastating for female cancer survivors who experience POI prior to puberty\, as puberty is the most crucial physiological event in a female’s life. Lack of ovarian endocrine function and absence of puberty leads to long-term co-morbidities such as poor bone health\, diminished metabolic turnover\, impacted cognition\, and high risk of cardiovascular events. Current treatment options such as hormone replacement therapy and ovarian auto-transplantation are associated with non-physiological delivery of hormones and risk of re-implanting cancerous cells. This thesis details the work to prove our hypothesis that allo-transplantation of donor ovarian tissue can be utilized to restore ovarian endocrine function without evoking an immune response. We hypothesized the concept of immuno-isolation could be utilized to protect encapsulated allogeneic ovarian tissue in murine and non-human primate models.\n \nFirst\, we developed a dual poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) that was appropriate for both ovarian tissue transplantation and immuno-isolation. The Dual PEG capsule contained a proteolytically degradable core crosslinked via Michael-type addition which was conducive for the dynamic growth of ovarian tissue and a non-degradable PEG shell that would serve as the immuno-protective barrier. We demonstrated in an ovariectomized syngeneic murine model that ovarian tissue encapsulated in Dual PEG survived and functioned until removed 60 days after implantation\, which was shown through resumption of cyclicity\, restoration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis\, and presence of healthy developed follicles.\n \nNext\, we demonstrated the capsule was immuno-isolating as allogeneic ovarian tissue encapsulated in Dual PEG and implanted in recipient mice did not evoke a significant allo-specific antibody response compared to controls and the capsule did not allow cellular infiltration\; protecting the encapsulated allograft from the outside immune environment and leading to ovarian endocrine restoration. After we proved that the Dual PEG capsule can prevent cellular infiltration\, we demonstrated that the capsule can also retain cells encapsulated within\, which can possibly be applied towards ovarian tissue auto-transplantation through retention of cancerous cells present in the graft and preventing cancer spreading and metastasis. We then demonstrated that encapsulation of ovarian allografts in Dual PEG precludes sensitization of the host immune system which proves the capsule is immuno-isolating and the host immune system is not exposed to allo-antigens while the graft is encapsulating\, possibly allowing multiple implantations of the capsule.\n \nLastly\, we demonstrate that non-human primate ovarian tissue can survive and develop in the Dual PEG capsule restoring ovarian endocrine function\, while being protected from an immune response as indicated by the lack of active\, dividing T cells in a syngeneic and allogeneic NHP model. This proves the capsule can withstand the volumetric change present in NHP folliculogenesis\, protecting the encapsulated allograft\, which promotes graft survival and ovarian endocrine restoration. Taken together\, this dissertation works towards allowing the implantation of allogeneic ovarian tissue to restore ovarian endocrine function in a physiological manner without the risk of immune rejection.

The 2011 DCL had major implications for the adjudication of peer sexual violence. Compliance with the DCL required American universities receiving federal funds to change their policies. Most did\, a few did not. Among those that did\, responses were more heterogenous than might have been expected given that federal funding is at stake. This heterogeneity is also puzzling theoretically\, as socio-legal theorists expect organizations to display at least symbolic compliance with legal mandates. We argue that one reason for this puzzling response was that prior to 2011\, most universities had policies to address what they referred to as “student sexual misconduct.” Peer-to-peer sexual violence was understood as a form of student misconduct\, to be handled by student conduct professionals. While civil rights lawyers had come to understand peer sexual assault as a Title IX issue\, this was not obvious to student conduct professionals. Nor were student conduct professionals prepared to cede their turf to civil rights experts. The ensuing collision between civil rights and student conduct logics generated a range of heterogeneous outcomes. Theoretically\, we will discuss how organizational change is produced out of processes of organizational bricolage\, or hybridization.

DESCRIPTION:Computational reinforcement learning models provide a framework for understanding how individuals can evaluate which actions are beneficial and which are best avoided. To date\, these models have primarily been leveraged to understand learning and decision-making in adults. In this talk\, I will present studies characterizing developmental changes\, from childhood to adulthood\, in the cognitive representations and computations engaged to evaluate and select actions. I will discuss how these changes may optimize behavior for an individual’s developmental stage and unique life experiences.

When sharing your writing\, do you ever worry that your readers will see a list of sentences more than an elegant\, logical flow of ideas? Do you receive feedback asking you to develop ideas further\, or connect points together? Do you find yourself using the same logical connectors (e.g. however\, similarly\, as a result) over and over? In this workshop for graduate student writers\, we will explore “information bridges” as a means to improve the organization\, flow\, and precision of documents you compose. We will work with examples from a range of academic disciplines\, and provide tools to explore how information bridges tend to be constructed in your own corner of the academic writing world. Please bring something you've drafted\, at any stage in your writing process\, to try out editing strategies during the workshop.\n\nPizza will be provided.\n\nRegistration required at https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5AvP2jsFhZt71xr UID:67808-16952003@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67808 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate,Graduate School,International,Rackham,write,Writing LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 855 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191022T085934 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T150000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HistLing Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Guest speaker Steve Dworkin will speak on \"Latinisms as lexical substitutes in late medieval and early modern Spanish.\" UID:64925-16491242@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64925 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Language LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 403 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190926T145937 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191108T150000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Russian Speaking Group DESCRIPTION:If you have any questions about the upper-level Russian speaking group\, please feel free to contact Michael Martin at martinmd@umich.edu.

The buyer is privately informed about her valuation\, and the seller privately observes her stochastically changing production cost. The seller's time-varying private information gives rise to new dynamics. Prices fall gradually at the early stages of negotiations\, and trade is inefficiently delayed. Inefficiencies persist even when gains from trade are common knowledge. Privately observed costs lead to lower welfare\, higher seller revenue and lower buyer surplus (especially for high-value buyers) relative to a setting with publicly-observed costs.

It is an energy source in crisis\, and we are responsible.\nThe R&D\, the reactor engineering and designs have been operating on the outdated and mistaken assumptions that uranium is rare and high conversion reactors are needed. We pursued neutron and conversion efficiency at the risks to the investments\, operators\, public and environment\, and sacrificed capital efficiency and asset safety that are essential for marketplace.\nNuclear fuel is where most of the energy and radioactivity are in reactors. By nature it has extremely high energy density. But we do have design choices in coolant\, total power and power density. Recognizing the extreme differences between nuclear and chemical fuels\, we can design\, fabricate and protect nuclear fuel before it becomes radioactive\, and design the reactor so that it is meltdown proof in the best case scenario\, or won’t damage the fuel and release large quantities of radioactivity in the worst case scenario.\nLearning from other industries in which major innovations have been successfully introduced\, and based on our research on fully ceramic micro-encapsulated fuel\, we developed a gas cooled micro modular reactor that can meet the safety criteria for all and are economically attractive in entry markets. We can bootstrap into new nuclear in years\, not decades\, and have the potential to quickly scale up with global impact on mitigating climate change.\nThis presentation will outline the thought process\, the proposed approach\, and the progress and outlook of the development and demonstration.\n\nBio: Dr. Ning Li is a co-founder and senior advisor of Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation\, a US company dedicated to the development and commercialization of advanced nuclear energy based on innovations on fuel and micro modular reactor. He was a Distinguished Professor and the Dean of College of Energy\, Xiamen University\, a member of the Expert Committee for the State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (working with Westinghouse to build the world’s first AP1000s and develop new designs)\, a senior advisor and Director for Asia Development of TerraPower\, a research affiliate of MIT\, and the Industrial Fellow for Civilian Nuclear Programs at LANL. Dr. Li has extensive R&D experiences in nuclear energy and fuel cycle technologies\, and was a planner\, leader and participant in a number of US DOE civilian nuclear energy programs\, including Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems\, Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative and Accelerator-driven Waste Transmutation. His R&D interests and efforts extend to advanced materials\, fabrication\, power conversion\, long-life core or travelling-wave reactors\, and power generation technologies and systems in general\, including renewables\, storage\, efficiency and integrated systems.\n\nDr. Li maintains strong academic and international collaborations\, and publishes widely with over 220 technical papers and reports. Dr. Li is a co-founder and the President of the New Energy Industry Alliance since 2013\, a recipient of the 2006 Asian American Engineer of the Year Award and 2010 Scientific Chinese Person of the Year Award.

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:66701-16770258@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:20191109T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191109T163000 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:58562-15002305@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:63803-15884109@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:63627-15820781@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:20191109T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191109T170000 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:68063-16988416@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:20191109T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191109T170000 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.

Guided by local artist Sajeev Vadakoottu\, participants will transfer\, compose\, and transform their own images (please bring your phones!) to create a relief print\, acting as characters in scenes of their own making.    This workshop will give a basic introduction to the block printing (a relief printmaking technique). Block printing refers to a technique where images are transferred from paper to the raised portion of a carved or etched block. In this technique\, drawings are made on a foam sheet or soft kut block and the negative space is carved out from the desired areas. In the next stage\, ink is applied on the surface using a roller. Finally\, prints are taken using a manual spooning technique\, which applies pressure to the ink and paper transfers the image to paper. \n \nParents must accompany children. \n \nPlease note:  \n \nRelief printmaking requires sharp tools to carve the cut block.

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

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

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

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:63992-16059400@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:20191109T181657 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191109T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191109T140000 SUMMARY:Other:UMMA Pop Up: Warren & Flick DESCRIPTION:Warren & Flick explore the nuanced textures of a two person ensemble.

Dick won the Best New Folk Artist award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas\, and he's inspired plenty of songwriters in Michigan and beyond. Recently he's been showing up at next-generation roots events like Hollerfest and fitting right in. Dick is an immensely gifted and versatile composer. Ranging from jump blues and Buddy Holly-style pop to folk balladry and new folk lyricism\, his songs offer all sorts of immediate lyrical and musical pleasures.

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. The new couple and their group of artisan friends personify the values of the bohemian lifestyle\, in which art and love stand before all else. These young Parisians live passionately and ardently – until\, at last\, life gives out. 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.
