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.

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

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:66701-16770259@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:20191110T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Nature a Moment: Visions of the World from Three Korean-American Artists DESCRIPTION:Three Chicago-area Korean-American artists render deeply personal interpretations of the natural world in the exhibit “Nature a Moment” at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N.

Stamps School of Art & Design 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:63627-15820782@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:20191110T120012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T130000 SUMMARY:Other:University of Michigan Women's Ice Hockey VS Arizona DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan Women's Ice Hockey VS Arizona at Yost Ice Arena  UID:69089-17244672@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69089 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Yost Ice Arena CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191030T132212 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T123000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:Star talks will examine the night sky with its slowly changing constellations\, bright planets\, and a short journey to visit far-away objects.\n\nThe new Planetarium & Dome Theater has comfortable seating for 57 visitors and space for up to 9 wheelchairs\, easy-access seats\, and a limited number of hearing assistance devices.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15002306@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:63803-15884110@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.

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:68063-16988417@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:20191110T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T170000 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:63842-15931466@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:20191110T120013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T160000 SUMMARY:Other:AIChE National Conference DESCRIPTION:The Michigan ChemE Car team will be competing at the AIChE National Conference in Orlando\, FL.

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:63992-16059401@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:20191110T120013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T170000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Planet Rock USAC Local DESCRIPTION:A casual local competion at Planet Rock to fulfil the local requiremnt to qualify fro regionalsRegistration: http://planet-rock.com/event/squash-fest-bouldering-comp  UID:68644-17130509@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68644 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Planet Rock Climbing Gym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191030T132212 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T143000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:Star talks will examine the night sky with its slowly changing constellations\, bright planets\, and a short journey to visit far-away objects.\n\nThe new Planetarium & Dome Theater has comfortable seating for 57 visitors and space for up to 9 wheelchairs\, easy-access seats\, and a limited number of hearing assistance devices.

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:65377-16575571@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65377 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191108T001525 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191110T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:La Bohème DESCRIPTION:Music by Giacomo Puccini\nLibretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica\nBased on Scènes de la vie de Bohème by Henry Mÿrger\nSung in Italian with projected English translations\n\n University Opera Theatre\, Matthew Ozawa\, director\nUniversity Symphony Orchestra\, Kenneth Kiesler\, conductor\nFeaturing the Ann Arbor Youth Chorale and members of the U-M Marching Band\n\nWhat could be more magical than to fall in love in Paris? 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.

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

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

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:66701-16770260@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:20191111T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191111T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mindfullness-based Dementia Care DESCRIPTION:A free\, 7-week program designed for family caregivers of persons with dementia.

Inspired by a trip to Wounded Knee\, South Dakota\, a passion for Native American History was born. \n\nA History of Boarding Schools: In the 1800's assimilation was the government’s policy to work Native Americans into mainstream society. One of the ways was taking Native children from their homes and sending them to boarding schools. \"Save the man\, Kill the Indian\" was the motto that was used by these schools as they stripped Native children of their language\, culture and identity.  Learn how the schools operated and what we did to help overcome the abuse.

Studying the emergence of rituals in childhood provides insight into the complex dynamics of social group cognition. This talk will examine how children identify and acquire ritual to affiliate with social groups\, how evaluations of ritual performance may differ across cultures\, and initial work uncovering the relationship between ritual and cooperation. The results provide insight into the early-developing preference for in-group members and are consistent with the proposal that rituals facilitate in-group cohesion. I propose humans are psychologically prepared to engage in ritual as a means of in-group affiliation and inclusion.

However\, due to the uncertain predictive accuracy\, it is not clear how to best integrate docking into discovery campaigns\, an instance of a general problem for applying complex prediction methods. To address this challenge\, I will describe how we designed a Bayesian optimal experiment to estimate the hit-rate as a function of predicted free energy of binding by carefully selecting ~500 compounds test in an in vitro binding assay. Using this an example\, I will then describe a novel statistical and computational framework for efficiently computing Bayesian optimal designs. The core idea is to use stochastic gradient descent to simultaneously optimize the parameters of variational bounds of the expected information gain and the experimental degrees of freedom. Through implementing this in Pyro a probabilistic programming language built on PyTorch\, this method can scale to designing highly informative experiments to calibrate a wide range of predictive models.\n UID:68968-17205309@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68968 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190724T130655 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191111T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191111T150000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Current Issues and the Supreme Court DESCRIPTION:Liberals and conservatives differ on a wide range of constitutional issues currently being contested in national and state politics\, including presidential versus congressional powers\, freedom of speech and religion\, money in politics\, gun rights\, abortion policy\, equal protection of the law\, and LGBT rights.

Trafficking Cuneiform: Valuing the Past over the Present?] DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER-RELATED CIRCUMSTANCES\n\n\nThe 2019 CMENAS Colloquium Series theme is “Migration in the Islamicate World.”\n--- \nSince the 1991 Gulf War\, artifacts looted from archaeological sites and museums in Iraq have been sold openly on the international market. Most in-demand have been cuneiform-inscribed objects – the material texts of Iraqi prehistory. Many thousands of these cuneiform objects have entered private collections in North America\, Europe and beyond\, where their texts are being studied and published by university-based scholars. These scholars have identified texts from what were previously unknown and presently unlocated sites – from intact archives now broken up and dispersed on the market. Ethical challenges to the scholarly reception of trafficked cuneiform objects are deflected with what can be construed as orientalist arguments of rescue\, preservation\, and scholarship. While ‘western’ scholarship has certainly benefited from this unexpected windfall of ‘recently appeared’ texts\, the damage suffered by Iraqi archaeological heritage and the associated loss to Iraqi intellectual and cultural life remain to be assessed. This talk will offer an up-to-date assessment of the situation and engage with the cultural\, legal and ethical issues raised by this large-scale movement of cuneiform objects out of Iraq.\n\nNeil Brodie is Senior Research Fellow on the Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa project at the University of Oxford’s School of Archaeology. He has published widely on issues concerning the market in trafficked cultural objects\, with more than fifty papers and book chapters devoted to the subject. Most recently he has co-authored Trafficking Culture: New Directions in Researching the Global Market in Illicit Antiquities (2019\, Routledge). Since 2017\, he has been working with the Lebanese NGO Biladi and officials from the Iraqi Ministry of Culture towards recovering looted and trafficked objects.\n\n-----\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

However\, a variety of new physics models that predict particles which decay inside the detector at a discernible distance from the interaction point. Such long-lived particles would create spectacular signatures and evade many prompt searches.

Central to our approach is a discrete-event simulator to evaluate the impact of ambulance deployments to logs of emergency requests. We first model ambulance allocation as an approximately-submodular-maximization problem\, and devise a simple and efficient greedy algorithm that produces both static allocations and dynamic repositioning policies. In parallel\, we find data-driven information-relaxation bounds for both static and dynamic cases. We build even tighter information-relaxation bounds by penalizing the previous relaxations. Our approach allows the computation of tight bounds without incurring the curse of dimensionality common to such approaches. Our bounding methods help inform policymakers about the viability of proposed fleet sizes and policies being adopted by the contracted EMS agencies. Our computational experiments on an Asian city's EMS demonstrate the tractability and efficiency of our greedy algorithm and our bounding methods. \n\nThe first part of this work is with Ramayya Krishnan and Yisong Yue\, and the latter part with Achal Bassamboo.\n\nLavanya Marla is an Assistant Professor in Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Working Around\, Against\, and Without: An Artist’s Excursion on Shifting Political Ground DESCRIPTION:After the fall of communism\, Eastern Europeans enjoyed a deep sense of freedom and engagement\, convinced that profound social and political change was underway. In 1990s Poland\, boundary-pushing artists like Artur Żmijewski played an active role in shaping the new reality. As time progressed\, however\, the promise of transformative change was revealed to be illusory\, and the communists' dominant style of politics persisted. Art became a target for political attacks because of its critical stance toward the Catholic Church and “wild” capitalism. \n \nHow should artists react in this increasingly authoritarian situation? Resist? Adapt? Or perhaps create a sort of hybrid position? In this lecture\, Żmijewski will discuss the relationship between his art and political engagement in the context of the past thirty years. \n \nArtur Żmijewski was born in Warsaw in 1966. He graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Professor Grzegorz Kowalski. A multimedia artist\, he uses primarily photography and film to explore the line between fiction and documentary. Żmijewski is also an accomplished curator and art critic. He is one of the founding members of the art journal \"Czereja\,\" serves as the artistic editor of \"Krytyka Polityczna\,\" and directed the 7th Berlin Biennale. In 1995\, Żmijewski was a fellow at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam\; he received the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Per L'Arte Prize for his work \"An Eye for an Eye.\" In 2005\, his “Repetition” was shown in the Polish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, and two years later his film *Them* was screened at Documenta in Kassel. Żmijewski also participated in the 14th edition of Documenta\, presenting his films *Glimpse* and *Realism*. From 2007-2008\, he was a DAAD Artist in Residence in Berlin where he prepared his project “Democracies.” In 2010 he received the Ordway Prize from the New Museum in New York and Creative Link for the Arts.

They were an insider's secret during the golden era of Austin music and recorded one album together\; it disappeared almost immediately\, but rare copies circulated from hand to hand for years afterward. The three individual Flatlanders\, meanwhile\, had gone on to solo careers as some of Texas's top singer-songwriters. Lately they've begun playing occasional shows\, imbued with a new sense of what they shared and of what each member—cosmic cowboy Gilmore\, rocker Ely\, and songcrafter Hancock—brought to the group. The end result is a sort of apotheosis of Texas music\, a relaxed\, creative show in which anything can happen and probably will.

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:63992-16059403@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:20191112T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191112T180000 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:66701-16770261@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:20191112T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191112T163000 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.

Through software technology\, water contamination data is translated into sound waves.\n\nThe installation consists of speakers that play the ‘data sound tracks’\, which vibrate the water held in attached trays. The sonic vibrations create unique patterns to emerge in the water\, known as water cymatics. Participants hear and see the water vibrate based on the chemical concentrations in their water samples. \n\nRipple Effect travels to communities that neighbor resource extraction activity and aims to transform the way people understand their data in relation to their environment.

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:58562-15002307@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:63803-15884111@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

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

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

The social intelligence hypothesis posits that big brains & great intelligence have evolved to cope with the labile behavior of group-mates. Here we exploit the remarkable convergence in social complexity between cercopithecine primates and spotted hyenas to test predictions of the social intelligence hypothesis in regard to both cognition and brain size. Behavioral data indicate that there has been considerable convergence between primates and hyenas with respect to their social cognitive abilities. Moreover\, compared to other hyena species\, spotted hyenas have larger brains and expanded frontal cortex\, as predicted by the social intelligence hypothesis. However it appears unlikely that domain-general intelligence can evolve exclusively in response to selection pressures imposed specifically in the social domain.

There\, despite close surveillance by the FBI\, he formed an unusual alliance with African Americans by contributing a weekly column to the biggest black newspaper “Pittsburgh Courier” and cooperating with Paul Robeson\, the world famous singer and actor\, in popularizing Chinese songs of resistance. Robeson and Liu brought the future national anthem of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) into global circulation. Meanwhile\, Liu traveled more than 100\,000 miles to speak and sing about China to grassroots white Americans on behalf of the United China Relief. Later\, as a top official representing Protestant denominations in the PRC\, Liu helped to bring Christianity into line with the new regime\, served China as its authoritative interpreter of the United States\, and facilitated the alliance between the PRC and such African American cultural giants as W.E.B Du Bois\, Shirley Graham Du Bois\, and Paul Robeson.\n\nYunxiang Gao is Associate Professor of History at Ryerson University in Toronto. Her current research focuses primarily on trans-Pacific cultural history in World War II. Professor Gao’s book\, “Sporting Gender: Women Athletes and Celebrity-Making during China’s National Crisis\, 1931-1945\,” appeared in 2013 with the University of British Columbia Press. She has published articles in “The Du Bois Review\,” “Gender and History\,” “The Journal of American East-Asian Relations\,” “Modern Chinese Literature and Culture\,” and “Sport in Society.” Several of her articles have been translated into Chinese. Currently\, Professor Gao is finishing two books: One is entitled \"Arise\, Africa! Roar\, China!: Sino-African-American Citizens of the World in the Twentieth Century.\" It focuses on the cultural network of Chinese and African Americans\, including W.E.B Du Bois\, Paul Robeson\, Langston Hughes\, actress Wang Yung\, founder of mass singing Liu Liangmo\, and modern dancer Sylvia Si-lan Chen\; The other one is a biography tentatively entitled “Soo Yong (1903-1984): A Hollywood Actress and Cosmopolitan of the Asian Diasporas.”\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 Quality of Life Effects of Highways DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nWhy do freeways affect the spatial organization of the economy? We identify freeway disameni-ties in urban areas and quantify their effects. First\, freeways had negative effects on central neighborhoods but positive effects on suburban neighborhoods. These diverging patterns iden-tify freeway disamenities in a theory where disamenities outweigh minimal access benefits near downtown\, but superior access benefits outweigh disamenities on the periphery. Second\, in a quantitative spatial general equilibrium model\, the welfare costs of freeway disamenities are large\, and one-third of the causal effect of freeways on central-city decline can be attributed to quality of life effects. Third\, barrier effects are significant and a major factor in the dis-amenity value of living near a freeway. Disamenities from freeways\, as opposed to their regional accessibility benefits\, had large effects on the spatial structure of cities\, suburbanization\, and welfare.

Space is limited to 20 participants. Light snacks will be served.\n\nResearch has shown that graduate students struggle with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression at higher rates than the general population. While some stress and uncertainty is unavoidable in graduate training\, research mentors can have a direct impact on the well-being (emotional\, physical\, and mental health) of members of their research group. By fostering an environment that supports well-being\, mentors can positively impact mentees’ sense of autonomy\, competence\, personal growth\, and belonging. Developing the skills to have open conversations about these topics is key to this process. \n\nIn this interactive workshop\, faculty participants will engage in discussions and activities about mentee well-being using the Fostering Well-being curricula. Participants will: (1) learn the definition of mental health and identify signs of well-being\; (2) develop awareness about how mentoring behaviors can impact mentee well-being\; (3) identify steps to creating an environment that fosters well-being in a diverse group of mentees\; and (4) learn to initiate conversations with mentees about their well-being and mental health.

We will present a new experiment that explores the emergence of thermalization in a quantum system by studying the dynamics of the momentum in a dipolar quantum Newton's cradle consisting of highly magnetic dysprosium atoms. This system constitutes the first dipolar strongly interacting 1D Bose gas. These interactions provide tunability of both the strength of the integrability-breaking perturbation and the nature of the near-integrable dynamics. The work sheds light on the mechanisms by which isolated quantum many-body systems thermalize and on the temporal structure of the onset of thermalization. We anticipate our novel 1D dipolar gas will yield insights into quantum thermalization and strongly interacting quantum gases with long-range interactions.\n UID:69176-17261053@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191021T133630 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191112T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191112T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop with Khalid Medani (McGill University) DESCRIPTION:Biography: \nKhalid Mustafa Medani\nChair\, African Studies Program\nGraduate Program Director\, Islamic Studies Institute\nAssociate Professor\nPolitical Science Department and the Islamic Studies Institute\n\nEducation\nPhD\, University of California\, Berkeley\, 2003\nMA\, Political Science\, University of California\, Berkeley\, 1995\nMA\, Development Studies\, Georgetown University\, 1990\nBA\, Brown University\, 1987\n\nTeaching and research interests\nAfrican Politics\, Islam and Politics\, Informal Economies\, Middle East Politics\, Ethnic and Civil Conflict\, Comparative Politics\, Political Economy of Development.\n\nRepresentative publications\n\"State Building in Reverse: The Neo-Liberal \"Reconstructio\" of Iraq\"\, Middle East Report\, Summer 2004.\n\n\"Financing Terrorism or Survival?

A substantial body of work has sought to determine the specific brain structures that support attention and WM. To date\, this literature has predominantly focused on the contributions of a limited set of cortical areas referred to as the dorsal attention network (DAN). The cerebellum\, a subcortical structure traditionally implicated in motor control\, has received scant consideration as a locus of attentional control\, despite findings of robust anatomical and functional connectivity between cerebellum and DAN areas. In this talk\, I will present the findings of a series of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments aimed at elucidating the role the cerebellum in attention and WM. Taken together\, the results of these experiments argue for the reconceptualization of the DAN as a cortico-cerebellar network.

Mokkil tracks the cultural practices through which sexual figures are produced in the public imagination and how these figures are accessed and deployed by marginalized sexual subjects\, primarily the sex worker and the lesbian\, as they stage their own fractured journeys of resistance in the post-1990s context of globalization. She argues that such intermedial and intertextual cultural traffic is the basis of a vernacular politics of sexuality.\n\nBy assembling and analyzing a Malayalam language archive\, Mokkil demonstrates how vernacular formations of the politics of sexuality cannot be contained within scripts of visibility\, rights\, and recognition. Her explorations captures the need to revise politics in favor not of a set path but of one that holds within it different possibilities. Mourning and loss\, failure\, and rewriting are integral to such itinerant political topographies. This talk explores how we have to tactically reinvent categories of analysis so that we can engage with the unstable horizons of the\npolitical.\n\nNavaneetha Mokkil is an Assistant Professor at Center for Women’s Studies\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Delhi. Her areas of research and teaching include feminist politics in India\, print and visual culture\, and public formations of sexuality. She completed her PhD in English and Women’s Studies from the University of Michigan in 2010. She is the author of Unruly Figures: Queerness\, Sex Work and the Politics of Sexuality in Kerala (2019\, Seattle: University of Washington Press) and co- editor of Thinking Women: A Feminist Reader (2019\, Kolkata: Stree Samya Publishers).\n\nThe events are generously sponsored by the Center for South Asian Studies\; the Colonialism\, Race\, and Sexualities Initiative (CSRI) of the Institute for Research on Women & Gender\; the Department of English Language & Literature\; and\, the Department of Women's Studies.

At the invasion’s apex in the mid-20th century\, harvests of lake trout\, the lampreys’ preferred host fish in the Great Lakes\, plummeted from peak annual catches of 15 million pounds to just a few hundred thousand pounds per year—a drop of 98% in only a few decades.\n\nIn his new book\, \"Great Lakes Sea Lamprey\"\, author Cory Brant explores the incredible story of the lamprey invasion—what started it\, how it was halted\, and what this history can teach us about the response to biological invaders in the present and future. In addition to discussing the book\, Brant will showcase an aquarium of live sea lamprey at this event and talk about the otherworldly anatomy that made the species such a terror in the Great Lakes. This event includes a signing with books for sale.\n\nCory Brant is a researcher at the U.S. Geological Survey Great Lakes Science Center in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. For over a decade\, his work has focused on sea lampreys\, particularly the species’ use of chemical communication\, and how to exploit that biology as a method of control.\n\nMore info: https://aadl.org/node/398036 UID:68696-17138819@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68696 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Author Event,Books,Fish,Free,Great Lakes,Library,Natural Sciences,Science,Sea Lamprey LOCATION:Off Campus Location - 4th Floor Meeting Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190813T105251 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191112T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191112T203000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bioethics Discussion: Body/Politics DESCRIPTION:A discussion on government.\n\nReadings to consider:\n1.

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

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059404@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:20191113T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191113T180000 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:66701-16770262@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:20191113T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191113T163000 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.

Through software technology\, water contamination data is translated into sound waves.\n\nThe installation consists of speakers that play the ‘data sound tracks’\, which vibrate the water held in attached trays. The sonic vibrations create unique patterns to emerge in the water\, known as water cymatics. Participants hear and see the water vibrate based on the chemical concentrations in their water samples. \n\nRipple Effect travels to communities that neighbor resource extraction activity and aims to transform the way people understand their data in relation to their environment.

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:58562-15002308@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:63803-15884112@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

Drawing inspiration from his country’s basketry traditions\, the South African artist Walter Oltmann (b. 1960) alternates densely layered sections with open spaces\, allowing the underlying surface of the work to show through.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931468@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:20191017T104051 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191113T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191113T123000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Veterans Week - Global War on Terrorism Veteran Panel DESCRIPTION:9/11\, New York and Washington D.C.\,  Iraq\,  Afghanistan\, Syria\, Africa ...  These major events and deployments continue to shape the modern military and those who serve in it\,  Soldiers\, sailors\, airmen\, Marines and coast guard members are stationed on every contentment and every sea to protect the homeland from attack and to help defend America's allies.  We have been on a wartime footing for 17 years\, longer than any other time in our nations history.  Come and hear from those who served during this time.

Based on the existence of long-lived WDs and the observed supernovae rate\, we constrain ultra-heavy DM candidates that produce high energy SM particles in a WD. This rules out supersymmetric Q-ball DM in parameter space complementary to terrestrial bounds. We also constrain DM which is captured by WDs and forms a self-gravitating DM core. Such a core may form a black hole that ignites a SN via Hawking radiation\, or which causes ignition via a burst of annihilation during gravitational collapse. It is intriguing that these DM-induced ignition scenarios provide an alternative mechanism of triggering SN from sub-Chandrasekhar mass progenitors. In the second part of the talk\, I will present a new technique which utilizes superconducting RF cavities to significantly improve the sensitivity of \"light shinning through walls\" searches for axion-like particles (ALPs). Our design uses a gapped toroid to confine the static magnetic field responsible for axion-photon conversion\, and thereby prevent quenching of the superconducting cavities . Such a search has the potential to probe axion-photon couplings to g ~ 2 x 10^-11 GeV^-1\, comparable to future optical and solar searches.

A Mediterranean Ecumene: Intellectual Contacts and Networks in the Late Medieval Mediterranean. DESCRIPTION:The Turkish Mediterranean lived and breathed with the same rhythms as the Christian\, that the whole sea shared a common destiny\, a heavy one indeed\, with identical problems and general trends if not identical consequences. \n—Fernand Braudel\, The Mediterranean \n\nHis theoretical concerns aside\, Braudel’s conceptualization of the Mediterranean in the sixteenth century was based on geography\, economy\, and society in a path-breaking way. This presentation proposes a cultural and intellectual oecumene within the Eastern Mediterranean basin in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Although it seemed politically divided\, the Eastern Mediterranean’s idiosyncratic commonalities within its intellectual context transcended all boundaries that were imagined in political spheres\, including those of the Byzantines\, Mamluks\, and Ottomans as well as the Renaissance Italians.\n\nThis presentation will investigate the activities and oeuvre of scholars in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries\, and their networks across the Mediterranean. In line with this purpose\, I will focus on three scholars\, Gemistus Pletho (d. 1452)\, Abd al-Rahman al-Bistami (d. 1455)\, and Bedreddin of Simavna (d. 1420) who were representative of those complex and multivalent networks as well as members of clandestine scholarly organizations. While mapping out their scholarly network\, this presentation also hopes to point to a textual relationship through intercommunal discussions\, especially that between Platonism and Aristotelianism. In doing so\, it aims to offer fresh insights on intellectual history that go beyond limitations imposed by traditional methodologies\, unquestioned genres\, and undisputed literary and linguistic traditions.

An exploration with the functional connectivity of the whole-brain network DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAn ancient Latin phrase said “Mens sana in corpore sano”\, which translates to “a healthy mind in a healthy body”. Consistent with this wisdom\, social scientists have shown that poverty and other adversities in life often lead to worse physical health as well as impaired cognitive performances. Similarly\, aging is linked to deteriorating physical health and cognitive decline. Physical exercise\, on the other hand\, often improves cognition. So far\, however\, the nature of this link between the body and the brain is underexplored. In this talk\, I will present our recent research examining if biological health risk is associated with functional connectivity of the resting state whole-brain network. Results and implications of the findings will be discussed.

The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\n\nThe workshop will run from October 16 to December 18\, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00\, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.\n\nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll UID:66521-16744964@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66521 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Career,English As A Second Language,Graduate,International,Language,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Workshop LOCATION:V.

Within that context\, I’ll review the seeding and ongoing nurturing of two U-M services (Atlas and Problem Roulette) that share common themes of access and transparency. As examples of research enabled by these services\, I’ll present evidence showing that: (i) on average\, females study more for less reward in STEM subjects than male students\, and (ii) increased selectivity\, as measured by ACT/SAT scores\, is a minor factor driving undergraduate grades upward. The talk will close by inviting your thoughts and discussion on potential future directions for these and similar services.\n\nBIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Prof. August E. (Gus) Evrard is a first-generation computational cosmologist and an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Physics and Astronomy at U-M. Author of the first algorithm to enable multi-fluid simulation of galaxy and large-scale cosmic structure formation\, Prof. Evrard's research is focused on understanding the population of clusters of galaxies\, the rarest and largest gravitationally bound systems in the universe. Named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2012\, his research is documented in over 200 refereed papers with 22\,000 total citations.

Magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD)\, particle-in-Cell (PIC)\, and test particle simulations are used to describe the dynamic evolution of the magnetotail\, associated with substorms (energy releases from the magnetotail) and other dipolarization events. Simulations show the formation of thin current sheets embedded in the wider plasma sheet due to solar wind interactions. PIC then demonstrates the onset of tearing instabilities and magnetic reconnection\, causing fast plasma flows and dipolarization. These phenomena are then followed by MHD simulations which form the basis of test particle simulations\, which pro-vide details on acceleration mechanisms\, and phase space distributions. Results compare favorably with THEMIS and MMS observations.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nJoachim Birn received his PhD. in 1973 at the Technical Univ. Berlin studying the Stability of the Planetary System. From 1973-82 he was at Ruhr-University Bochum working on equilibrium modeling and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the Earth’s magnetotail. In 1980 he was a visitor at Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL)\, where he extended his 2D MHD code to 3D\, simulating substorm dynamics of the magnetotail. From 1982 to 2012 he was at LANL continuing his simulation work\, working on satellite data interpretation and studying acceleration of ions and electrons in magnetospheric substorms. Since 2012 he is a Senior Research Scientist at the Space Science Institute in Boulder. Birn’s research experience includes 3D equilibrium theory\, development of 3D MHD codes with applications to magnetotail and solar corona dynamics\; and MHD stability theory on which he has published 260 refereed papers. Birn is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and LANL Fellow.

The title of this year’s talk is “Medical Ethics on the Border: A Look at Immigration Detention.” The talk will be presented by Pamela K. McPherson\, M.D.\, FAPAon Wednesday\, November 13 from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. in Ford Auditorium at University Hospital.\n\nPamela K. McPherson\, M.D.\, FAPA is a medical doctor triple-boarded in general\, child and adolescent\, and forensic psychiatry. She is a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the Shreveport Behavioral Health Clinic\, a gratis assistant professor at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport\, and a mental health subject matter expert for the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at the Department of Homeland Security. Dr. McPherson focuses her research on the mental health of justice-involved youth as well as conditions of juvenile confinement\, and consults for the U.S. government and non-profits on mental health services for justice-involved youth.\n\nIn 2018\, she and colleague Dr. Scott A. Allen exposed the serious health risks to children who are separated from their parents and detained as part of the U.S. administration’s zero tolerance policy at the southern border. Learn more about their work from this CNN article published in May: These doctors risked their careers to expose the dangers children face in immigrant family detention.\n\n “We are delighted to welcome Dr. McPherson to our campus in November for this esteemed lectureship\,” said Debra A. Pinals\, M.D.\, clinical professor of psychiatry and director of the Program in Psychiatry\, Law and Ethics at U-M and chair of the Waggoner Lectureship Committee. “Dr. McPherson has incredible insight into the conditions of immigrants entering the United States. She could not be better suited to address our campus for this lecture devoted to medical ethics and values in medicine.”\n\nThe University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry established the Raymond W. Waggoner Lectureship on Ethics and Values in Medicine in 1996. This lectureship was created in honor of the late Dr. Waggoner\, emeritus professor and past chairman of the Department of Psychiatry\, who throughout his career and to all who knew him\, exemplified the highest standards of integrity and ethics.\n\nThe lectureship is an annual event to recognize Dr. Waggoner’s enormous contributions to the Michigan Medicine medical center and to the profession\, and to promulgate his interest in medical ethics.\n\nFor more information\, please contact:\n\nDebra A.

Tentler Collegiate Professor of History\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:Early modern Russia was an autocratic state ruled by a despotic tsar and a powerful Orthodox Church. Its population was largely illiterate. This combination of severely controlled expression and limited literacy makes it difficult to peer beyond official representations. Although harshly condemned by the authorities\, magical spells\, filled with dark poetry\, circulated widely. These spells offer a route to understanding how people of all social standings experienced and navigated life in a radically unfree and unequal society. Through the seemingly marginal economy of witchcraft\, we can see people accommodating to conditions of inequality and carving out paths to survival.

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:63992-16059405@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:20191114T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T180000 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:66701-16770263@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:20191111T153928 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Defense: Functional characterization of selected chloroplast RNA-binding proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana DESCRIPTION:Mentor: Andrzej Wierzbicki\, Associate Professor\nMolecular\, Cellular & Developmental Biology UID:69315-17301844@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69315 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Dissertation Defense,Research LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Earl Lewis Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190920T130853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T163000 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.

Through software technology\, water contamination data is translated into sound waves.\n\nThe installation consists of speakers that play the ‘data sound tracks’\, which vibrate the water held in attached trays. The sonic vibrations create unique patterns to emerge in the water\, known as water cymatics. Participants hear and see the water vibrate based on the chemical concentrations in their water samples. \n\nRipple Effect travels to communities that neighbor resource extraction activity and aims to transform the way people understand their data in relation to their environment.

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:58562-15002309@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:63803-15884113@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.

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:68063-16988420@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:20191114T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

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

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

This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography.

Crises of Care: Violence\, Impunity\, and Hospitality along the Central American Migrant Trail DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, John Doering-White examines how grassroots migrant shelters that aid Central Americans transiting through Mexico rely on religious traditions of hospitality to align their work with state humanitarian frameworks while simultaneously distancing themselves from economies of corruption that allow for such widespread impunity. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork along the Central American migrant trail between 2014 and 2017\, Doering-White traces how religion allowed shelter workers to seek to maintain a single moral face while dialoguing with duplicitous state functionaries whom shelter workers presumed to be complicit in sustaining widespread impunity. Integrating scholarship that examines hospitality as both an ethical imperative and a calculated political performance\, he shows that duplicity is often central to pursuing humanitarian recognition via idealized human rights frameworks. He also considers how migrant shelters navigate the risks and rewards associated with broader recognition in the context of rising anti-immigrant sentiment both in the United States and across Mexico.\n \nJohn Doering-White\, Assistant Professor of Social Work and Anthropology at the University of South Carolina\, is an ethnographer of migration and community organizing. Since 2014\, Doering-White has conducted ethnographic fieldwork alongside humanitarian migrant shelters that aid Central Americans migrating undocumented through Mexico\, often by hopping freight trains. Doering-White is a graduate of the Joint Doctoral Program in Social Work and Anthropology at the University of Michigan.

Peckham Fellowship. His research focuses on re-evaluating the history of the British Army in Colonial and Revolutionary America\, India\, and Europe\, 1750-1850. \n\nIn the space of seven decades between 1740 and 1810\, the British Army fought wars on four continents\, producing a unique accumulation of knowledge\, experience and ideas about tactics\, operations and strategy. Henry Clinton was at the centre of this knowledge network\, and had vociferous opinions about how Britain should use its military power. \n\nDavies will present a paper\, using research conducted at the Clements Library\, to illustrate Clinton’s thinking on war and how he influenced the direction of the British Army. Attendees are welcome to bring a lunch and eat during the presentation.

Michael Strausz will answer this question by drawing on insights from nearly two years of intensive field research in Japan. In addition to answering this question by outlining the central argument of his 2019 book\, Help (Not) Wanted: Immigration Politics in Japan\, this presentation provide context to recent developments in Japanese immigration policy – particularly the December 2018 decision to admit more than 300\,000 low skilled foreign laborers. \n\nMichael Strausz is an Associate Professor of Political Science and the Director of Asian Studies at Texas Christian University. He earned his BA from Michigan State University and his MA and PhD from the University of Washington. His book\, Help (Not) Wanted: Immigration Politics in Japan was recently published with SUNY Press.\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.

In the case of two-field generalizations of $\alpha$-attractor models with is a highly curved hyperbolic field-space manifold\, analytical progress can be made for preheating using the WKB approximation and Floquet analysis. I will show the emergence of a simple scaling behavior of the Floquet exponents for large values of the field-space curvature\, that enables a quick estimation of the reheating efficiency for any large value of the field-space curvature. In this regime one can observe and explain universal preheating features that arise for different values of the potential steepness. In general preheating is faster for larger negative values of the field-space curvature and steeper potentials. For very highly curved field-space manifolds preheating is essentially instantaneous.\nIn case of multi-field models with non-minimal couplings\, where the field-space in the Einstein frame is highly curved near the origin\, I will describe recent lattice simulations that have been used to capture significant nonlinear effects like backreaction and rescattering. I will show how we can we extract the effective equation of state and typical time-scales for the onset of thermalization\, quantities that could affect the usual mapping between predictions for primordial perturbation spectra and measurements of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation. For large values of the nonminimal coupling constants\, efficient particle production gives rise to nearly instantaneous preheating. Moreover\, the strong single-field attractor behavior that was identified for these models in linearized analyses remains robust in the full theory\, and in all cases considered the attractor persists until the end of preheating. Finally\, I will discuss the implications for Higgs inflation.

Sites with prominent buildings and production facilities in Inner Asia\, however\, evidence the development of permanent centers of intensive social\, economic\, and ritual activities among steppe pastoralists. Through remains of the first ‘proto-urban’ establishments of the first steppe empire (the Xiongnu\, ca. 200 BCE - 100 CE)\, I argue here that the components and arrangements of these urban settings would have been structured according to the logistical and social parameters of large herds and small-holder herding households that made up the majority of the populations that moved though and occupied such centers in the steppe. This study thus adapts concepts of ‘low-density’ urbanism and fluctuating ‘urban sprawls’ to formulate a model of extended pastoro-urban landscapes – a lattice of monumental structures as well as permanent workshops\, corralling and pasturing spaces\, and fluid yet structured residential areas\, equally defined by natural geography and built environments.

At co-living properties\, furnished private bedrooms and bathrooms are rented in larger\, often design-focused homes or buildings. The buildings feature amenities like sports areas\, movie theaters\, fully equipped kitchens\, and other perks that residents might not be able to afford living in larger urban center like London or New York. They also encourage community by organizing movie nights\, group dinners\, and other social occasions for residents who are often new to town and living solo.\n\nTanya’s co-living business\, Morton Place\, is focused on international professionals looking to stay short- or long-term in Brussels. As an undergrad at Michigan\, Tanya studied English\, worked at Bivouac\, and lived with roommates in a large house. Her living situation later inspired her idea for Morton Place.\n\nAfter graduation the bilingual English/French speaker moved to Paris (she graduated during a recession and says finding work was intimidating). She worked as an assistant at Christie’s Fine Art Auctioneers in their jewelry department\, cataloguing and working on client contact and event management\, before returning to the U.S. in 1994 to earn an MBA from Columbia Business School.\n\nThis workshop is intended for LSA Undergraduate Students.

Mendicant texts draw upon but revise the treatment of disability in other popular culture representations of “empty sleeves” and in U.S. pension law. As they challenge both the assumption of the sentimental reintegration of the wounded veteran into the individual and national family and the conception of disability as a neatly administrable category\, they offer instead a different vision: that of disability as a dynamic phenomenon whose full meaning is only determined by interpersonal relationships. At the same time\, the fact that a number of narrators chose to stretch or evade the truth in their narratives points to what David Serlin has termed “hierarchies of disability\,” wherein the cultural inclusion of some forms of disability merely tightens the criteria of “worthiness” for all disabled people. An understudied but fraught genre of disability life writing before the twentieth century\, Civil War mendicant texts raise questions about the relationship between disability and narrative\, the character of Civil War writing\, and the stakes of truthfulness in life writing by marginalized subjects.\n\nTo RSVP and receive a copy of the pre-circulated paper\, please email Ani Bezirdzhyan (abezirdz@umich.edu).\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Disability Studies Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop (RIW) group.

Told through intimate accounts\, journal excerpts\, archive footage\, as well as interviews with military commanders\, the film follows five women who served together for a year in Iraq. With captivating detail\, this probing documentary reveals the unexpected course of events that began with using US women soldiers to defuse tensions with local civilians\, but resulted in the women's fighting in some of the bloodiest counter-insurgency battles of the war. Together the women's candid narratives and scenes from their lives back home form a portrait of the emotional and psychological effects of war from a female point of view. Lioness is the first film to bridge the gap between perception and reality of the role women in the military are playing in Iraq\, capturing an historical turning point for American society.\n\nDocumentary followed by discussion by Cassie Michael: U-M student\, Marine veteran and participant the Lioness program.

As stated in the National Climate Assessment\, “changes in extreme weather events are the primary way that most people experience climate change.” In this sense\, the characteristics of extreme weather are key indicators of climate change impacts\, at both local and regional scales. Understanding potential changes in the location\, intensity and structure of such extremes (e.g.\, tropical cyclones\, severe thunderstorms and flooding) is crucial in planning for future adaptation as these events have large economic and social costs.\n \nThe goal of this work is to better understand climate impacts on extreme weather events in various high-resolution configurations of the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) run at horizontal grid spacings of approximately 28 km and forced with prescribed sea-surface temperatures and greenhouse gas concentrations for past\, present\, and future climates. This analysis will include the evaluation of conventional (AMIP-style) decadal simulations typical of climate models\, short 7-day ensemble hindcasts of recent devastating events (e.g.\, Hurricane Florence in 2018)\, and reduced complexity simulations of idealized states of the climate system. Through this hierarchical modeling approach the impact of climate change on the characteristics (frequency\, intensity\, rainfall\, etc.) of extreme weather\, including tropical cyclones\, can be quantified.

Professor Nick Parziale\, Stevens Institute of Technology\, Department of Mechanical Engineering\n\nReacting/high-speed flow investigation with non-intrusive optical techniques permits researchers to probe fluid flows in harsh or otherwise previously inaccessible environments. New insight into the flow physics of the wicked problems in supersonic and hypersonic flows can be had with the clever application of recent advances in laser\, camera\, and electronics technologies. In this talk\, two examples of such efforts will be discussed. The first example is the previously unexplored boundary-layer instability on a slender cone in hypersonic\, reacting flow which was characterized by the implementation of focused laser differential interferometry (FLDI). The second example is a laser-based technique that measures velocity in a high-speed gas which utilizes trace amounts of krypton for the purposes of flow tagging called Krypton Tagging Velocimetry (KTV). Example results are given for a study of supersonic shock-wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction and characterization of Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) Hypervelocity Tunnel 9 at Mach 10 and Mach 14.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\nNick’s current research interests include high-speed and reacting flows\, chemical-thermodynamics\, and heat transfer with applications in the fields of defense and energy/sustainability. Current projects include novel methods of high-speed flow velocimetry\, hypersonic boundary-layer instability\, shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction\, biomass to bio-oil conversion\, and nitrogen-based fuels research.\n\nNick received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from SUNY Binghamton in 2008\, then received his MS and PhD degrees in 2009 and 2013 from the Caltech Graduate Aerospace Laboratories (GALCIT). In 2013\, he was a PostDoc at Caltech and then a Visiting Assistant Professor at Stevens. Currently\, Nick is currently an Assistant Professor (2014-present) in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken\, New Jersey. Nick spent four summers\, from 2014-2017\, as an Air Force Summer Faculty Fellow at AEDC White Oak in Silver Spring\, MD.

As a consequence\, X-linked hybrid sterility is often an early stage in the evolution of reproductive isolation. To understand why the X chromosome is a hotspot for the accumulation of hybrid sterility\, we have undertaken genetic and population genomic analysis of X-linked hybrid male sterility between two fruit fly sister species\, Drosophila mauritiana and D. simulans. We have identified multiple X-linked regions that are sufficient to cause male sterility when introgressed from D. mauritiana into a D. simulans genome. Spermatogenesis in sterile genotypes proceeds through meiosis but does not complete spermatid individualization. Most X-linked sterility results from incompatibly interactions with autosomal alleles\, but both genetic and cytological results indicate that one factor causes sterility through interactions with the heterospecific Y chromosome. Previous theory suggests that X-linked sterilizing incompatibilities may arise through the evolution of sex chromosome meiotic drive elements. We find evidence that both supports and rejects this theory\, as a known X-linked drive element recently migrated between these species and caused a strong reduction in local sequence divergence. Gene flow can therefore mediate the effects of selfish genetic elements during speciation.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/F0jiOjEsqa4 UID:67829-16958325@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67829 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:20191018T103445 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191114T172000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human rights on the brink DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public.

The subject of popular writing workshops and major reprint series by both trade and experimental publishing houses\, it caters to a desire for novelness in a moment of compressed time for writers and readers alike. But what is it about the form that drives our love of it? How does the relationship between time and technology structure its compelling status as well as the narratives of its history chosen to contextualize it? My examples\, from the crucial subgenre of the SF novella as well as its experimental counterparts\, will suggest that the mechanics of narrative length and ambition have been mobilized by contemporary writers and readers alike through the novella to reflexively recast relationships between fiction\, media\, and genre.\n\n\nKate Marshall is associate professor of English at the University of Notre Dame\, where she also serves on the faculty of the history and philosophy of science. She is the author of Corridor: Media Architectures in American Fiction (2013)\, and articles on technology\, media\, and narrative. She is co-editor of the Post45 book series at Stanford University Press and is on the collective’s editorial board. She has just completed a study of the desire for nonhuman narration in contemporary literature and theory that traces its history in the old\, weird American fiction of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

We’re excited to welcome not one\, but two keynote speakers -- Angie and Dan Bastian\, the co-founders of BOOMCHICKAPOP -- to the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business.Angie and Dan Bastian took a kernel of an idea and popped it into one of the fastest growing brands of natural popcorn. The duo will discuss how they disrupted the snack industry in an exciting conversation moderated by the University of Michigan’s very own Marcus Collins. It started in 2001 in their Mankato garage where Angie and Dan began popping kettle corn to sell at local markets\, carnivals\, and events. What began as a college fund nest egg for their children and a way to teach them the value of hard work has grown into a financially successful business with an incredibly meaningful brand. Angie and Dan wanted to provide a great tasting healthy snack\, made from clean ingredients with nothing fake\, but they also wanted to build a brand that speaks to women in a new way -- they wanted to respect and celebrate female consumers and encourage a positive relationship with food. This empowering and values-driven brand message is not surprising as Dan started as a high school teacher and Angie as a nurse\, so serving and supporting others has always been core to them.Their profitable popcorn business with a powerful brand attracted two rounds of Private Equity investment and ultimately a strategic sale to Conagra Brands in the fall of 2017. Angie and Dan have both been recognized for their success\, entrepreneurship\, and contributions. Both have been recipients of the 2015 ACG BOLD Award for corporate growth\, and they shared Connect Business Magazine’s 2012 Person of the Year award and appeared on the Martha Stewart Show. Dan was named St. John’s University Entrepreneur of the Year in 2014\, and Angie’s has twice won Star Tribune’s Top Workplaces honor. Additionally\, Girls Scouts Centennial celebration honored Angie as a pioneering Trailblazer. She is a 2015 Inductee to the Minnesota Women Business Owner’s Hall of Fame and was awarded Pioneer in Food of Women’s Entrepreneurship Day at the United Nations 2017. Angie has been featured in the Huffington Post\, quoted in Forbes Magazine\, and featured in the Wall Street Journal. More information about the Symposium can be found HERE.

BCE–3rd c. CE). Four seasons of geophysical prospection in the region led to the identification of architectural features of different form and scale to the monumental temples\, palaces\, and pyramids that had been the focus of archaeological research in the region up until this point. A preliminary excavation season earlier this year confirmed the results of the geophysical survey\, in addition to providing dates and some tantalizing finds\, including a deposit of seal impressions. When put together\, our research forms the basis for a new understanding of Kushite urbanism in the region and gives us a clear roadmap for our future work at Jebel Barkal.\n\nPresented by Field Archaeology Series on Thursday\; sponsored by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, the Department of Classical Studies\, and the Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology.\n\nReception at the Kelsey Museum at 5:30 PM\, lecture to follow at 6:00 PM.\n\nFAST lectures are free and open to the public.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please call the Kelsey at 734-647-4167 at least two weeks in advance.

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!

This event will feature University of Michigan's own Dr. Bethany Hughes's work in native performance\, The Aadizookaan's Sacramento Knoxx\, and Māria Apera-Jones of Wellington\, New Zealand. Our hope is to gain further understanding of how indigenous peoples locally as well as abroad relate to movement and experience these artists' usage of traditional knowledge systems as a way to spread wellness to their communities and themselves. \n\nThe Aadizookaan's Sacramento Knoxx shares their perspective through creative storytelling. Aadizookaan means “the sacred spirit of the story.” They use ancestral indigenous-based knowledge systems to produce storytelling experiences via a variety of methods including music\, film\, and design. \n\nMāria Apera-Jones\, Pōneke Women’s Rugby and Wellington Indoor Netball U23’s Black\, Drill and Field Coach is traveling from Wellington\, New Zealand. She is to explain how action has been a part of her healing and survival as well as perform with The University of Michigan’s Women's Rugby Football club. Māria has been instrumental in uniting communities through physicality\, Te Reo Maori\, and cultural tradition. She creates a synonymous expectation that brings pakeha and Pasifika\, Aboriginal and Indigenous peoples together. Her strength is a tribute to the future of a united community. She is a testament of how individuality through culture breads a greater community: whanau/family. \n\nAs we combine these acts\, we can showcase indigenous art in many forms\, while also highlighting how art can have a therapeutic effect on those participating in its creation and those watching and experiencing it. We want to be able to honor the struggle of native communities across the world while celebrating these communities’ strength and resilience. We also want to emphasize the commonality all communities have when it comes to the use of art and movement as a form of healing and connection to others in order to bring indigenous and non-indigenous communities together.

Odessa Ortiz\, Elliot’s mother and a recovering addict\, is the founder and administrator of an online chatroom for other recovering addicts\, helping them stay on the straight and narrow. Odessa’s online chatroom brings people together for comfort and support who may have never met otherwise\, as her real-life family is splintering at a rapid pace. Inventive and timely\, Quiara Alegría Hudes’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Water by the Spoonful is a powerful\, compassionate look at the meaning of family\, and the burdens we must carry to protect it. \n\nWater by the Spoonful gets its name from the restorative power of water. The play was commissioned by Hartford Stage while Quiara Alegría Hudes (who also wrote the book for the Tony Award-winning In The Heights) was an Aetna New Voices Fellow. The play debuted in October\, 2011 to strong reviews\, with one critic describing it as “one of the best new plays I’ve seen in years” (Frank Rizzo\, The Hartford Courant). It received a similar welcome when it opened Off-Broadway in 2013\, and won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2012. “A combination poem\, prayer\, and app on how to cope in an age of uncertainty\, speed\, and chaos” (Variety)\, Water by the Spoonful is a thought-provoking and heartwarming piece about finding and granting forgiveness\, to yourself and others\n\nWater by the Spoonful contains strong language and sensitive themes including PTSD\, addiction\, and suicide.

The band's name came from a story their mother made up about a girl by that name who calls the Greek gods to Earth. The Hölljes siblings grew up partly in North Carolina and partly in the San Francisco Bay Area\, and both places contributed strands to their musical DNA. After college\, they moved into a house in the forest and set about finding their musical voice. Their early shows were legendary. \"A lot of times we’d come down off stage and sing something in the middle of the audience\, or be screaming out as opposed to singing in order to convey the emotion\, to find something primal that will affect people\,\" Ian recalls.

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:63992-16059406@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:20191115T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T180000 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.

Abstract below:\n\n“Cosmic Realism”\n\n In this chapter\, I focus on how scale and perspective interact with materialist fantasies in contemporary realist fiction and in the larger cultural debates surrounding it. By attending to forms of diffuse narrative sentience moving through the novel\, I discuss two kinds of narrative reach for radical exteriority\, exemplified in texts by Marilynne Robinson and Teju Cole. These frustrated attempts at nonhuman narration either attempt to locate consciousness in wildly distant objects and materials\, or are eliminative\, trying to imagine a world or narrative outside of consciousness or human knowledge. I situate both attempts in a history of realist theory that has had much more room for nonhuman narrative than our most recent engagements with it have remembered.

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:66701-16770264@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:20191115T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T163000 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.

Through software technology\, water contamination data is translated into sound waves.\n\nThe installation consists of speakers that play the ‘data sound tracks’\, which vibrate the water held in attached trays.

In practice exact matches are rare\, particularly if there are many measured covariates. Instead\, matches may be made within calipers (Althauser & Rubin\, 1970) of a unidimensional index. Modern indices arise by modeling specific aspects of the data. The most widely used matching indices are propensity scores (Rosenbaum & Rubin\, 1983)\, followed by risk or prognostic scores (Miettinen\, 1976\; Hansen\, 2008).\n\nAdjudicating how close is close enough for matching is the murkiest aspect of the undertaking. Heuristics in wide use today pre-date the use of model-based matching indices\, fail to adapt to the size of the model and sample\, and lack theoretical support. In some cases these heuristics allow pairings of demonstrably dissimilar subjects\; in others they declare wide swaths of the sample to be unmatchable\, needlessly wasting data.\n\nThis talk presents a new way to determine calipers. Compatible with common index model specifications\, its widths diminish as n increases\, toward an asymptote of 0. If the index model is consistently estimated\, then matched contrast-based impact estimates will be consistent as well\, provided matches are made within these diminishing calipers. This result assumes no hidden bias\, an untestable condition\, alongside of additional conditions that can be enforced. In particular\, it restricts growth of the index parameter's dimension relative to n\, to a rate intermediate to those required for ordinary M-estimates to be consistent or root-n consistent (He & Shao\, 2000).

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:58562-15002310@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:63803-15884114@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

Recent research has exposed a troubling relationship between concussion and long-term health consequences to brain health\, such as cognitive impairment\, depression\, and neurodegenerative disease. Appropriate concussion management is thought to play a critical role in improving long and short-term health outcomes for those with concussion. Unfortunately\, the diagnosis and post-injury management of concussion remains challenging for many reasons\, including: the lack of a gold standard diagnostic marker\, the potential for strategic symptom reporting\, and the need for guidelines built on rigorous analysis of large\, observational clinical datasets. In this research\, we develop two frameworks to address these issues. In the first framework\, we formulate the two-threshold problem (TTP) as a stochastic programming model to determine which patients should be diagnosed as positive\, negative\, or deferred due to a lack of conclusive evidence. We characterize the optimal solution to TTP and develop data-driven methodologies to solve and calibrate TTP. In the second framework\, we formulate a multi-agent Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (mPOMDP) to model both the patient’s and doctor’s perspectives in sequential treatment decision problems. We analyze the role strategic symptom-reporting on the optimal timing of return-to-play from sports-related concussion. While classical results for POMDPs do not hold for the mPOMDP\, we derive conditions which ensure that the doctor’s optimal policy follows a threshold-type structure. For both frameworks\, we conduct numerical studies using multi-center data from the CARE Consortium – the largest available dataset on sports-related concussion. We show that our frameworks outperform existing methods commonly used in practice and use our findings to generate concussion clinical management insights. The models developed in this research provide technical contributions to data-driven decision-making that can be applied broadly to other areas within and beyond healthcare.\n\nBio:\nGian-Gabriel Garcia is a PhD Candidate in the Industrial and Operations Engineering Department at the University of Michigan.

This barrier is not\, however\, impenetrable. Some small molecules\, including drugs\, can burrow through and manifest therapeutic activities. Others can be “cloaked” to endow membrane permeability\, and then uncloaked inside cells. We have learned how to beneficially cloak proteins\, which are typically 100-fold larger than small-molecule drugs. Specifically\, the conversion of protein carboxyl groups into esters enables the protein to traverse the lipid bilayer. The nascent esters are substrates for endogenous enzymes that regenerate native proteins within cells. The ability to deliver native proteins directly into cells opens a new frontier for medicine.\n\nSpeaker:\nRonald Raines\, Ph.D.\nFirmenich Professor of Chemistry\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology UID:68971-17205311@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68971 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,biomedical research,Biosciences,drug discovery,Life Science,Research LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190917T164508 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar: Maps and Neural Codes in Whisker Somatosensory Cortex DESCRIPTION:Host: Sam Kwon UID:67361-16839927@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67361 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Neuroscience,Research,Science,seminar LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191117T120015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Nationals at Pittsburgh DESCRIPTION:Club water polo nationals at university of Pittsburgh  UID:68589-17351813@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68589 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:University of Pittsburgh CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191117T120014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191115T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:NIRCA Cross Country National Championships DESCRIPTION:Get up and get ready MRun!

Uranium-235 emits very few neutrons\, and the low energy photons it emits are easily shielded\, making passive detection of highly enriched uranium very difficult. Actively interrogating the material with neutron or photon sources can provide a much more prominent detection signal. These sources of radiation can be used to either induce detectable emissions in the material\, or radiograph the material to distinguish it from possible shielding. Active interrogation presents detection challenges in signal quality and operational feasibility\, especially because currently-available sources mostly emit photons that can be easily shielded and are below photonuclear energy thresholds. My research will focus on addressing these challenges by demonstrating advantages of photon interrogation based on recent enabling technologies\, both from the perspective of the interrogating source and the detection system.\n\nInverse Compton scattering quasi-monoenergetic photon sources using a laser-driven plasma accelerator are a developing technology that has strong potential to advance photon interrogation methods. These sources use the laser wakefield phenomenon to accelerate electrons to very high energy. Photons from a secondary laser beam interact with these electrons through inverse Compton scattering\, producing a photon source highly focused in energy and space. The energy of these photons can be tuned to penetrate shielding and induce photonuclear reactions. The work presented here is based on quasi-monoenergetic photon sources at the University of Nebraska Lincoln and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Through Monte Carlo simulations\, I have demonstrated the capability to image heavily shielded nuclear material\, validated by experiment. These studies showed increased accuracy for hidden nuclear material detection over traditional bremsstrahlung sources.\n\nA 9-MeV linac has been installed at UM\, which outputs a high intensity of photons capable of inducing photonuclear reactions. This high photon intensity makes neutron detection and identification challenging\, but we are developing methods to detect prompt neutrons in-pulse with organic scintillators. These methods incorporate high throughput data acquisition\, active background reduction\, and collaboratively developed neural-network based pulse discrimination and recovery. Initial experiments interrogating lead and tungsten surrogates for highly enriched uranium have identified elevated neutron counts for the cases with target present over active background.\n\nCompared to a quasi-monoenergetic photon source\, the bremsstrahlung source produces many low-energy photons that only contribute to surrounding dose rates. To demonstrate this dosimetric advantage\, and verify shielding for the operation of various accelerators\, a method for measuring dose rates was required. An organic scintillator based strategy was developed to provide a replicable and dual-particle dose rate detection method. This method has been used to simultaneously measure neutron and gamma dose rates from isotopic sources\; these results show reasonable agreement with traditional instruments. Future experiments will demonstrate the method with active interrogation sources.\n\nThe results of my research will enable the use of organic scintillators and novel photon sources for use in an active interrogation scenario to prevent the spread of nuclear material.

An implicit assumption in previous theorizing and research using this social-functional approach to leader emotions has been that leaders’ emotional expressions logically follow from the situation for followers and thus help followers who observe these expressions to better understand the situation. However\, leader's emotional expressions are not always predictable to followers. We extend the social-functional approach by investigating what happens when leader emotional displays are perceived as unpredictable by followers. We propose that leader emotional unpredictability sparks uncertainty among followers about how the leader allocates ranks and resources within the team\, which triggers intra-team power struggles. Such power struggles—intra-team conflicts over resources among followers—in turn undermine team performance. Using a multi-method approach\, we find support for our model in three studies\, including two laboratory experiments and a field study of 246 retail teams. The findings inform our understanding of how leaders’ emotional displays influence team performance\, extending the social-functional approach to emotion by illuminating how the perceived unpredictability of leaders’ emotional expressions can be dysfunctional for teams.

In many situations\, these superior properties will be desired in harsh environments\, such as elevated temperatures\, at high rates\, and under irradiation. Nanolaminates\, built from stacks of crystalline layers\, each with nanoscale individual thicknesses\, are proving to exhibit a composite of many of these target properties. Examples span from nanotwinned materials to biphase nanolaminates\, comprised of alternating nano-thick layers that differ in orientation\, chemistry and crystal structure. Studies on these materials report exceptional properties far beyond a volume average value of their constituents\, such as strengths that are over five to ten times higher\, hardness values that are several orders of magnitude higher\, and unprecedented microstructural stability in harsh environments\, such as irradiation\, sudden impact\, or elevated temperatures. While the combination of properties is clearly attractive\, one roadblock to applying the nanolaminate concept to any general composite material system is their complex\, highly anisotropic deformation behavior\, making them less reliable than coarsely structured materials. Critical to designing the material nanostructure to achieve uniformity and reliability is understanding and predicting the strength properties of nanostructure materials based on known conditions and measurable variables\, such as basic nanostructure size scales and chemical composition. Multiscale models for conventional coarse-grained materials have been in development for several decades\, but analogous versions for nanostructured materials require extensions to explicitly account for the overriding dominance of internal boundaries on these microstructure/property relationships. The computational materials challenge lies in how to represent the discrete and statistical dislocation glide processes in nanostructured materials so that the profound influence of the fine nanoscale crystals can be properly replicated in simulation. In this talk\, we will present recent examples of computational techniques and some unanticipated couplings between nanostructural size effects and microstructural evolution and strength that arise from their application.\n\nBio: Irene J.

The origin of this latter group is debated. We suggest the isotopic and trace element variations reflect the contribution of the metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) in the Payenia source. We present a simple forward model of cumulate formation and metasomatism and subsequent melting within the SCLM that predicts the observed Payenia lava compositions.  Variations in 143Nd/144Nd and 176Hf/177Hf suggest that the age of the SCLM cumulates is 100-150 Ma\, which coincides with the development of the proto-Pacific Andean arc and the breakup of Gondwana. Variations in δ18Ooli­ values from modeled cumulate-derived melts indicate that differentiation and melting within the SCLM represents a process that can fractionate oxygen isotopes even when the melt forming the cumulate has MORB-like δ18O values\, explaining the observations of low-δ18O signatures of Payenia.

Currently\, there are very few fast-neutron sources for civilian research. Recently\, access to fast-neutron technologies has been fulfilled by using foreign nuclear research reactors\, but many research institutions and industries do not have access to this technology and resource\, which can limit development of advanced nuclear energy technologies. Furthermore\, this limits the expansion of practical knowledge and feasibility in the area of nuclear physics\, chemistry\, material science\, and instrumentation and measurement. Therefore\, efforts have begun to develop the Versatile Test Reactor (VTR)\, a bridge to advance nuclear future. The objective of which is to perform irradiation tests on fuels\, materials\, and components to understand and evaluate their performance. The access to VTR will significantly increase the knowledge base in terms of irradiation of materials\, reactor fuels and components. The inclusion of these experiment vehicles will enable the VTR to perform multiple tests that can support various mission areas while enhancing technical readiness levels for its anticipated life of 50 to 100 years.\n\nBIO: Dr. Piyush Sabharwall is a staff research scientist working in Nuclear System Design and Analysis Division at Idaho National Laboratory (INL).

Odessa Ortiz\, Elliot’s mother and a recovering addict\, is the founder and administrator of an online chatroom for other recovering addicts\, helping them stay on the straight and narrow. Odessa’s online chatroom brings people together for comfort and support who may have never met otherwise\, as her real-life family is splintering at a rapid pace. Inventive and timely\, Quiara Alegría Hudes’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Water by the Spoonful is a powerful\, compassionate look at the meaning of family\, and the burdens we must carry to protect it. \n\nWater by the Spoonful gets its name from the restorative power of water. The play was commissioned by Hartford Stage while Quiara Alegría Hudes (who also wrote the book for the Tony Award-winning In The Heights) was an Aetna New Voices Fellow. The play debuted in October\, 2011 to strong reviews\, with one critic describing it as “one of the best new plays I’ve seen in years” (Frank Rizzo\, The Hartford Courant). It received a similar welcome when it opened Off-Broadway in 2013\, and won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2012. “A combination poem\, prayer\, and app on how to cope in an age of uncertainty\, speed\, and chaos” (Variety)\, Water by the Spoonful is a thought-provoking and heartwarming piece about finding and granting forgiveness\, to yourself and others\n\nWater by the Spoonful contains strong language and sensitive themes including PTSD\, addiction\, and suicide.

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:66701-16770265@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:20191116T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191116T103000 SUMMARY:Other:Museum Highlights Tour DESCRIPTION:Tours are about 30 minutes long and are limited to 15 people per tour group.

Through software technology\, water contamination data is translated into sound waves.\n\nThe installation consists of speakers that play the ‘data sound tracks’\, which vibrate the water held in attached trays. The sonic vibrations create unique patterns to emerge in the water\, known as water cymatics. Participants hear and see the water vibrate based on the chemical concentrations in their water samples. \n\nRipple Effect travels to communities that neighbor resource extraction activity and aims to transform the way people understand their data in relation to their environment.

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:58562-15002311@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:63803-15884115@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:68063-16988422@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:20191116T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191116T170000 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. Johe Endowment.

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

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

Odessa Ortiz\, Elliot’s mother and a recovering addict\, is the founder and administrator of an online chatroom for other recovering addicts\, helping them stay on the straight and narrow. Odessa’s online chatroom brings people together for comfort and support who may have never met otherwise\, as her real-life family is splintering at a rapid pace. Inventive and timely\, Quiara Alegría Hudes’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Water by the Spoonful is a powerful\, compassionate look at the meaning of family\, and the burdens we must carry to protect it. \n\nWater by the Spoonful gets its name from the restorative power of water. The play was commissioned by Hartford Stage while Quiara Alegría Hudes (who also wrote the book for the Tony Award-winning In The Heights) was an Aetna New Voices Fellow. The play debuted in October\, 2011 to strong reviews\, with one critic describing it as “one of the best new plays I’ve seen in years” (Frank Rizzo\, The Hartford Courant). It received a similar welcome when it opened Off-Broadway in 2013\, and won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2012. “A combination poem\, prayer\, and app on how to cope in an age of uncertainty\, speed\, and chaos” (Variety)\, Water by the Spoonful is a thought-provoking and heartwarming piece about finding and granting forgiveness\, to yourself and others\n\nWater by the Spoonful contains strong language and sensitive themes including PTSD\, addiction\, and suicide. Audience discretion is advised.
