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.

In Pen & Ink Queens\, Cavanagh draws inspiration from medieval and renaissance-era garments to adorn quirky\, queenly figures. 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.

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. 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.

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 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.

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

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

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).

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:66701-16770265@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.

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.

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

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

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

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:63992-16059407@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191003T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191116T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191116T131500 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Scientist in the Forum DESCRIPTION:Check at the Welcome Desk for schedule. \n\nJoin a University of Michigan researcher in the Science Forum for a special peek into cutting-edge research.

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. On this tour\, explore 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\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please call the Kelsey at 734-764-9304 at least two weeks in advance.

Mellon Workshop: Historical and Contemporary Expressions of Populism in Africa and Beyond DESCRIPTION:Populism has re-emerged across the globe\, displaying multiple\, left and right leaning variants and provoking complex engagements with the limits of liberal democracy. There is a new generation of populists on the African stage\, offering contradictory and often disturbing visions regarding Africa’s future. Some\, including Julius Malema and the Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa\, have re- imagined concepts and policies linked historically to theories on the left\, while others\, such as David Bahati and the anti-gay campaigners of Uganda\, have advanced a deeply conservative and reactionary religiosity. These new forms of populism that are being expressed across the political spectrum invite careful analysis of the continuities and ruptures in African politics from the 20th to the 21st centuries\, as well as the ways in which ideas and movements travel across national boundaries. Several contemporary populist movements are historically rooted in older movements on the continent\, and those histories provide linguistic markers and affective registers for contemporary encounters. Yet the current brands of populism are also distinctive in their own right\, rather than simply being a re- packaging and reiteration of national liberation. As in the 1950s and 60s—the era of decolonization— when newly independent African states were sometimes confronted with populist movements that challenged their technocratic and nationalist frames\, the failures of postcolonial developmental projects have provoked contestations today. Moreover\, in the 1970s\, African dictators drew on new media— radio and television in particular—to define for their audiences new modes of political and cultural belonging. Social media today is different from that period in reach and in tone\, but it has made possible the creation of new spaces and organisational forms for politics. For example\, aided by social media\, social movements\, especially queer and feminist organisations\, have escalated in intensity and appeal over the past several decades\, and these also shape the contours of populism. Their aspirations and objectives significantly inform populist rhetoric\, either acting as subjects of its many demands\, or as the objects of derision.\n\nThis workshop will reflect on the cultural and political registers and infrastructures of populism in Africa (and elsewhere). What circumstances invite (some) people to see themselves as an oppressed majority? What work do authenticité and other nativist agendas do to clarify identities and marginalize minorities? What is the relationship between African forms of liberal democracy\, and development in particular\, and populism? Are populist movements opening up spaces for new forms of gendered political performances? Finally\, what lessons can be learned from the past as African\, American\, and European democracies together confront a renewed wave of nativist enthusiasm?

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:66701-16770266@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:20191117T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191117T103000 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:58562-15002312@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:63803-15884116@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.

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

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059408@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191003T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191117T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191117T131500 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Scientist in the Forum DESCRIPTION:Check at the Welcome Desk for schedule. \n\nJoin a University of Michigan researcher in the Science Forum for a special peek into cutting-edge research.

With funk and beats as real as bands that play at midnight\, and with lyrics that aren’t afraid to employ a larger vocabulary that what is currently heard on mainstream radio for grown ups\, Skidoo fashions a world intended for the whole family. The universal constants that we all deal with\, such as love\, struggle\, dreams\, fear and learning to become ourselves\, are the soul of these musical adventures that bounce\, fly and slide smoothly through landscapes of wild imagination.

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. A museum docent will interpret the complex ways that Asian artists have produced multiple artworks through time.\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.

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.

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.

Mellon Workshop: Historical and Contemporary Expressions of Populism in Africa and Beyond DESCRIPTION:Populism has re-emerged across the globe\, displaying multiple\, left and right leaning variants and provoking complex engagements with the limits of liberal democracy. There is a new generation of populists on the African stage\, offering contradictory and often disturbing visions regarding Africa’s future. Some\, including Julius Malema and the Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa\, have re- imagined concepts and policies linked historically to theories on the left\, while others\, such as David Bahati and the anti-gay campaigners of Uganda\, have advanced a deeply conservative and reactionary religiosity. These new forms of populism that are being expressed across the political spectrum invite careful analysis of the continuities and ruptures in African politics from the 20th to the 21st centuries\, as well as the ways in which ideas and movements travel across national boundaries. Several contemporary populist movements are historically rooted in older movements on the continent\, and those histories provide linguistic markers and affective registers for contemporary encounters. Yet the current brands of populism are also distinctive in their own right\, rather than simply being a re- packaging and reiteration of national liberation. As in the 1950s and 60s—the era of decolonization— when newly independent African states were sometimes confronted with populist movements that challenged their technocratic and nationalist frames\, the failures of postcolonial developmental projects have provoked contestations today. Moreover\, in the 1970s\, African dictators drew on new media— radio and television in particular—to define for their audiences new modes of political and cultural belonging. Social media today is different from that period in reach and in tone\, but it has made possible the creation of new spaces and organisational forms for politics. For example\, aided by social media\, social movements\, especially queer and feminist organisations\, have escalated in intensity and appeal over the past several decades\, and these also shape the contours of populism. Their aspirations and objectives significantly inform populist rhetoric\, either acting as subjects of its many demands\, or as the objects of derision.\n\nThis workshop will reflect on the cultural and political registers and infrastructures of populism in Africa (and elsewhere). What circumstances invite (some) people to see themselves as an oppressed majority? What work do authenticité and other nativist agendas do to clarify identities and marginalize minorities? What is the relationship between African forms of liberal democracy\, and development in particular\, and populism? Are populist movements opening up spaces for new forms of gendered political performances? Finally\, what lessons can be learned from the past as African\, American\, and European democracies together confront a renewed wave of nativist enthusiasm?

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.

Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed and considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled? \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAs part of his residency\, Sawyer also worked with U-M students to create a mural to honor Samuel C. Watson\, the first African American student admitted to the University of Michigan. The mural is on view on the first floor of MLB.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, and curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan. His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual and collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit. Sawyer is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. His passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth including various community arts programs throughout New York\, where he served as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. He earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University. In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

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.

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 addition to informing intervention design\, however\, MRTs can also provide insights into the underlying psychosocial processes that mediate intervention response. In this talk\, I will describe some of the recent findings from the HeartSteps project which show that mHealth interventions provided in the exact same way (in our case\, as push notifications suggesting to individuals how they can be active in their current context) can have different dynamics\, suggesting that the response to them is mediated by different underlying processes. I suggest that\, in addition to supporting intervention design\, MRTs can be a powerful tool for studying human behavior in a granular way in the midst of messiness of day-to-day life. \n\nBio\n\nPredrag \"Pedja\" Klasnja is an Assistant Professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan.

But children\, and especially older children wrestle with “extraordinary minds” too. Artificial intelligence and robots for example\, but also minds of superheroes\, gods\, and more. My collaborators and I have a long program of research on children’s developing conceptions of —robots\, God\, mind-after death\, and extraordinary communications. I will overview several strands of this research to exemplify our approach and findings: developing conceptions of ordinary-human knowing versus omniscience\, developing conceptions of death and an afterlife\, developing conceptions of prayer in contrast to ordinary spoken communications. Some of our studies include “culture” in the sense of comparing\, for example\, children in the U.S. and those in China. But still more include the equally informative perspective obtained by comparing differing cultural and religious groups within the U.S.\, including mainstream samples (80-90%whom believe in God)\, devout Muslin groups\, and devout fundamentalist Christians.

While demographers and other social scientists have explored the broad implications of population aging\, less well understood are the individual-level consequences of conjoint changing fertility and mortality patterns. In particular\, there is limited information about the extent to which life courses overlap today versus in prior decades and the implications of such. In this paper\, we provide new evidence about generational overlap between grandparents and grandchildren using population register data from Denmark. We describe changing patterns of grandparents being alive-and life expectancy-at grandchildren's birth. Then\, we evaluate differences in these patterns by socioeconomic status. These findings have implications for the transmission of inequality\, as well as resource demands on governments.\n\n\n\nBIO:\nMarcia (Marcy) J.

ES schemes can enforce a non-decreasing total entropy\, in agreement with the second principle of thermodynamics. However\, several challenges remain to their practical use.\n\nThe current state-of-the-art of ES schemes solves the Navier-Stokes equations for a single-component perfect gas in chemical and thermal equilibrium. This model is not appropriate in applications such as hypersonics and combustion. As a first step towards enabling such applications\, we constructed ES schemes for the multicomponent compressible Euler equations. Along the way\, we also extended a theoretical result on the correct local behavior of entropy-stable approximations.\n\nWhile entropy-stability is valuable\, it does not imply a well-behaved solution. To better understand how ES schemes may or may not improve solution quality\, we revisited\, in terms of entropy\, two classical shock-capturing problems where stability is not the core issue. We studied the overheating anomalies typically encountered in shock reflection simulations\, and the severe accuracy degradation issues of upwind-type schemes in the low Mach regime.\n\n\nDissertation Committee:\n\nChair: Prof. Karthik Duraisamy\nCognate Member: Prof. Smadar Karni\nMembers: Prof. Philip L.

Today: The Art of Tylonn J. Sawyer with Institute for the Humanities curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nAbout Tylonn J. Sawyers exhibition *WHITE HISTORY MONTH I *at the Institute for the Humanities gallery Nov. 18 - Dec 19.\n\nMining symbols of power and oppression from the historical strata of western art\, Sawyer exposes truths\, while covering others to gain a clearer picture of concepts that have shaped our current society. Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed? Can this thread be considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled? \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, & curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan. His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual & collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit\, Michigan. Tylonn is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. Sawyer’s passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth. He has worked with various community arts programs throughout New York\, serving as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. Tylonn earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University. In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

In this work\, the dominant low-frequency oscillations known as the “breathing mode” is investigated to provide a more analytically rigorous yet intuitive description of the instability. The new understanding of Hall thruster oscillations yielded by this effort can improve the reliability of these devices.\n\nTime-resolved laser-induced fluorescence paired with an ion kinetic analysis is used to characterize the near-field and internal thruster plasma during breathing oscillations. A frequency scaling study indicates that several existing theories for the breathing mode are consistent with observed oscillation trends. However\, an examination of the dynamic properties of the discharge reveals that these same theories are fundamentally inconsistent with the experimental data.\n\nA novel physical process for the breathing mode is proposed and found to agree with the experimental findings. A model corresponding to this process is developed and shown to predict positive linear growth and realistic real frequencies. A simpler model is derived and used to produce simple analytical descriptions of the real frequency and growth of the breathing mode.

Moral cognition is not only a reflection of personal values and a gateway for explaining human behaviors\, but also a field of work that provides insights relevant to the dynamics of human society and the development of artificial intelligence. Thus\, it is extremely important to bridge the gap between morality and human rationality while taking into account the ecology of the environment and the agent. Bounded rationality provides a way to approach decision making research by taking into account how rationality is constrained by the characteristics of the environment and the cognitive limitation of the mind. In this talk\, I will provide an overview of the current research on bounded moral cognition and present some empirical results of finding context effects in ethical decision making. Finally\, I will present some research goals of my dissertation work.

However\, COIs are a new concept for Michigan redistricting and are defined broadly in the amendment.\n\nA panel of experts will share how COIs factor into the redistricting process\, and how citizens can be involved in helping the Commission incorporate COIs in Michigan's next set of election district maps.\n\nPanelists will discuss:\n-- what are communities of interest (COIs)\n-- how are they defined (some examples from Michigan and other states) \n-- where do they factor into the redistricting process\n-- why is it important for district maps to respect community boundaries \n-- what is the actual process for drawing lines around communities\, and\n-- what to do with overlapping communities of interest\n\nThis panel discussion is part of a larger CLOSUP research and service project being conducted on behalf of the Michigan Department of State to advise the Department and the Commission on best practices for the implementation of the COI criteria.\nSponsored by: Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP) and Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\n\nCo-sponsors: Voters Not Politicians\, Ginsberg Center\, Domestic Policy Corps\, Detroit Public Television\, Program in Practical Policy Engagement (P3E)\n\nFor more information contact closup@umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

In particular\, we are in the midst of an influx of data from on-going experiments\, such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES). In the coming five years\, the volume and quality of data will rapidly increase as Stage IV surveys\, Euclid\, LSST and WFIRST\, come online. Processing this data will require new algorithms and methods to maximise our science reach and to control for systematic errors. In this talk\, I will present a method that we have developed called Monte-Carlo-Control-Loops that relies heavily on forward modelling the observed data by simulating all the processes from cosmology theory to images. Given the complexities of the late-time Universe\, these forward models need to capture the important properties of galaxy populations and key features imprinted on the data from the experiments themselves. By bringing together all these elements with advanced statistical methods and new machine learning algorithms\, we can build a process for extracting maximal information from the new data\, which will allow us to extensively test the physics of the dark sector.\n UID:67017-16796444@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67017 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191111T152717 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191118T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191118T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Job Talk DESCRIPTION:Lecture / Discussion UID:69313-17301837@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69313 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English,English Department,English Language & Literataure,English Language & Literature,English Language And Literature,English Languange & Literature LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3222 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190823T123800 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191118T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191118T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Padnos Lecture: The Yiddish Columbus: Critical Counter-History and the Remapping of American Jewish Literature DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces Jacobo Glantz’s 1939 Mexican Yiddish epic poem Kristobal Kolon\, arguing that Glantz’s poem is a point of origin for his daughter\, historian and writer Margo Glantz’s later feminist reexaminations of the colonial histories of Mexico. Jacobo Glantz’s counter-canonical retelling of the Americas’ most iconic foundational myth relied on Columbus’s journals and the new\, more critical histories of Columbus emerging in the 1930s. But Luis de Torres\, not Columbus\, is at the center of Glantz’s retelling. De Torres was the only Jew on Columbus’s crew\, hired by Columbus to serve as an interpreter. Written in a deliberately multilingual Yiddish with Spanish\, Taino\, Latin and Hebrew borrowings\, Glantz’s epic functions as critical counter-history\, a wild re-imagining of a history he knew so well. This lecture explores the ways in which the myth of Columbus can be mobilized to unearth “underground” indigenous\, African\, Muslim and Jewish histories in the New World\, and suggests a new geography for American Jewish literature that exceeds the boundaries of English and the United States.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nDiversity initiatives are prevalent\, but not necessarily effective. These initiatives at times not only fail to result in the intended consequence of increased diversity and inclusion\, but also produce unintended consequences that undermine their effectiveness. In this presentation\, Leslie will describe the unintended consequences diversity initiatives can produce and provide examples of how even well-intentioned efforts to foster diversity and inclusion can go astray. She will also discuss strategies for making diversity initiatives more effective and thus better leveraging the positive consequences of diversity for individuals\, organizations\, and societies.\n\nAbout Leslie:\nLisa M. Leslie is an Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at the Stern School of Business\, New York University. She received her AB in Social Psychology from Princeton University and her MA and PhD in Organizational Psychology from the University of Maryland. Prior to joining Stern in 2013\, she spent six years as an Assistant Professor at the Carlson School of Management\, University of Minnesota. \n\nLeslie’s research focuses on diversity in organizations\, and specifically understanding why organizational diversity initiatives often produce unintended consequences and what can be done to make them more effective. She also has secondary research interests in cross-cultural organizational behavior and conflict management. Leslie has received many awards for her research\, which has appeared in journals spanning a number of different disciplines\, and has served as an Associate Editor for the Academy of Management Journal.\n\nHost: \nLindred Greer\, Associate Professor of Management and Organizations\n\nSponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks University of Michigan Organizational Learning\, Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, Samuel Zell & Robert H.

Employers violate US employment law if their propensity to contact applicants depends on protected characteristics such as race or sex. We establish identification of higher moments of the causal effects of protected characteristics on callback rates as a function of the number of fictitious applications sent to each job ad. These moments are used to bound the fraction of jobs that illegally discriminate. Applying our results to three experimental datasets\, we find evidence of significant employer heterogeneity in discriminatory behavior\, with the standard deviation of gaps in job-specific callback probabilities across protected groups averaging roughly twice the mean gap. In a recent experiment manipulating racially distinctive names\, we estimate that at least 85% of jobs that contact both of two white applications and neither of two black applications are engaged in illegal discrimination. To assess more carefully the tradeoff between type I and II errors presented by these behavioral patterns\, we consider the performance of a series of decision rules for investigating suspicious callback behavior under a simple two-type model that rationalizes the experimental data. Though\, in our preferred specification\, only 17% of employers are estimated to discriminate on the basis of race\, we find that an experiment sending 10 applications to each job would enable accurate detection of 7-10% of discriminators while falsely accusing fewer than 0.2% of non-discriminators. A minimax decision rule acknowledging partial identification of the joint distribution of callback rates yields higher error rates but more investigations than our baseline two-type model. Our results suggest illegal labor market discrimination can be reliably monitored with relatively small modifications to existing audit designs.

At an immigrant educational society in Greenwich Village\, these early Afro-Latino New Yorkers taught themselves to be poets\, journalists\, and revolutionaries. At the same time\, these individuals—including Rafael Serra\, a cigar maker\, writer\, and politician\; Sotero Figueroa\, a typesetter\, editor\, and publisher\; and Gertrudis Heredia\, one of the first women of African descent to study midwifery at the University of Havana—built a political network and articulated an ideal of revolutionary nationalism centered on the projects of racial and social justice. These efforts were critical to the poet and diplomat José Martí’s writings about race and his bid for leadership among Cuban exiles\, and to the later struggle to create space for black political participation in the Cuban Republic.\n\nIn Racial Migrations\, Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof presents a vivid portrait of these largely forgotten migrant revolutionaries\, weaving together their experiences of migrating while black\, their relationships with African American civil rights leaders\, and their evolving participation in nationalist political movements. By placing Afro-Latino New Yorkers at the center of the story\, Hoffnung-Garskof offers a new interpretation of the revolutionary politics of the Spanish Caribbean\, including the idea that Cuba could become a nation without racial divisions.\n\nA model of transnational and comparative research\, Racial Migrations reveals the complexities of race-making within migrant communities and the power of small groups of immigrants to transform their home societies.

Mellon Workshop: Historical and Contemporary Expressions of Populism in Africa and Beyond DESCRIPTION:Populism has re-emerged across the globe\, displaying multiple\, left and right leaning variants and provoking complex engagements with the limits of liberal democracy. There is a new generation of populists on the African stage\, offering contradictory and often disturbing visions regarding Africa’s future. Some\, including Julius Malema and the Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa\, have re- imagined concepts and policies linked historically to theories on the left\, while others\, such as David Bahati and the anti-gay campaigners of Uganda\, have advanced a deeply conservative and reactionary religiosity. These new forms of populism that are being expressed across the political spectrum invite careful analysis of the continuities and ruptures in African politics from the 20th to the 21st centuries\, as well as the ways in which ideas and movements travel across national boundaries. Several contemporary populist movements are historically rooted in older movements on the continent\, and those histories provide linguistic markers and affective registers for contemporary encounters. Yet the current brands of populism are also distinctive in their own right\, rather than simply being a re- packaging and reiteration of national liberation. As in the 1950s and 60s—the era of decolonization— when newly independent African states were sometimes confronted with populist movements that challenged their technocratic and nationalist frames\, the failures of postcolonial developmental projects have provoked contestations today. Moreover\, in the 1970s\, African dictators drew on new media— radio and television in particular—to define for their audiences new modes of political and cultural belonging. Social media today is different from that period in reach and in tone\, but it has made possible the creation of new spaces and organisational forms for politics. For example\, aided by social media\, social movements\, especially queer and feminist organisations\, have escalated in intensity and appeal over the past several decades\, and these also shape the contours of populism. Their aspirations and objectives significantly inform populist rhetoric\, either acting as subjects of its many demands\, or as the objects of derision.\n\nThis workshop will reflect on the cultural and political registers and infrastructures of populism in Africa (and elsewhere). What circumstances invite (some) people to see themselves as an oppressed majority? What work do authenticité and other nativist agendas do to clarify identities and marginalize minorities? What is the relationship between African forms of liberal democracy\, and development in particular\, and populism? Are populist movements opening up spaces for new forms of gendered political performances? Finally\, what lessons can be learned from the past as African\, American\, and European democracies together confront a renewed wave of nativist enthusiasm?

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:63992-16059410@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:20191119T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191119T180000 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.

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.

Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed and considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled? \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAs part of his residency\, Sawyer also worked with U-M students to create a mural to honor Samuel C. Watson\, the first African American student admitted to the University of Michigan. The mural is on view on the first floor of MLB.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, and curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan. His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual and collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit. Sawyer is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. His passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth including various community arts programs throughout New York\, where he served as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. He earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University. In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

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:66701-16770268@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:20191119T090744 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191119T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191119T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ripple Effect DESCRIPTION:Ripple Effect is an interactive art exhibition that visualizes local water quality data through sound\, light\, and water.

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:58562-15002313@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:63803-15884117@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:68063-16988424@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:20191119T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191119T170000 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.

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.

Knowing what to do in advance increases your chances of surviving and your reaction matters. While you may have received ALICE active attacker training during your previous educational experiences\, the university’s training is very different. The university—unlike primary education settings—is an open environment in the middle of a city. In addition\, the information you receive in this training will apply to how you respond to an active attacker in other contexts—at a place of worship\, at a movie theater\, etc. A representative from the Division of Public Safety and Security will be on hand to conduct training and to field questions from graduate students.\nThis workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Neurons have incredibly diverse properties that underlie their distinct functions. Proper classification is challenging as neurons can be defined by many different criteria\, including anatomy\, molecular identity\, and electrophysiology. Moving forward\, it’ll be fundamentally important to perform multi-modal measurements of neuron properties to ameliorate conflicting definitions of cell types. To address this correspondence problem\, we have developed a Multi-Round immunostaining expansion microscopy (MiRiEx) strategy that can be combined with multicolor genetic labeling strategies (Brainbow) to simultaneously interrogate morphology\, molecular identity\, and connectivity in brain sections. The capacity for 3-4x linear expansion of the tissue specimen gives us the ability to perform “super-resolution” imaging to untangle densely labeled neurons and trace their neurites using nTracer\, a custom ImageJ software. By optimizing the preservation of antigens in a hydrogel\, we are able to carry out multiple rounds of immunostaining for Brainbow fluorophores and cell type markers. As a proof of concept\, we demonstrate that MiRiEx can be applied to Brainbow labeled inhibitory neurons in the basolateral amygdala to correlate inhibitory neuron cell types with their morphologies and local anatomy network. Furthermore we show that Brainbow immunostaining can be combined with synaptic markers to count inhibitory and excitatory inputs on interneurons. We envision MiRiEx combined with Brainbow to be a powerful tool researchers can use to perform multi-modal analysis of neuronal structure\, molecular identity\, and connectivity.

Sometimes this theoretical position found expression in an announcement to the realm. The First Emperor\, for example\, made his power known in 221 BCE by means of a widely-distributed inscription in his own voice. My examination of excavated documents the Han central government promulgated in its northwestern border region\, however\, suggests that the emperors’ theoretical potency was not matched by conspicuous utterance\, at least not in those contexts. What emerges instead is taciturnity\, constraint\, silence. In this presentation\, I consider example documents and discuss what the imperial voice in these texts tells us about the nature of rule and rulership in the Han dynasty. \n \nCharles Sanft is Associate Professor and Associate Head in the Department of History at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville.

Animation and tabletop puppet tableaus are viewed as approachable\, non-threatening art forms associated with children. Audiences are often more receptive to content delivered in these forms\, and this expectation provides artists with the perfect foil to communicate politically relevant\, psychologically complex\, and feminist narratives. This talk will focus on creative art projects that translate the intangible cognitive processes underlying ordinary human interactions into accessible and poetic visual narratives. These robotic and mechanical sculptures\, experimental animations\, and installations give physical form to emotion\, memory\, and relationship dynamics while challenging viewers to rethink the vocabulary used to tell these personal stories. The use of hybrid media art forms and a research-based art practice are integral to the art process that will also be discussed.

Carlson’s *Romantic Marks and Measures: Wordsworth's Poetry in Fields of Print* (2016)\, called \"'Points Have We All of Us Within Our Souls\, / Where All Stand Single': Poetic Autobiography and National Cartography.\" This chapter comes from the first half of Carlson's book which examines how Wordsworth's blank verse was shaped in the context of a burgeoning cartographic culture. Her goal is to show that print encodings of land and language were not separate phenomena but were actually entwined aspects of a \"diagrammatic turn\" in British culture during the Enlightenment period. This chapter gets into exciting topics like Wordsworth's encounter with the Ordnance surveyors on the mountains of Black Comb in the Lake District in 1811\, the appearance of contoured maps at the Crystal Palace during the Great Exhibition of 1851\, and Parliamentary debates in the 1850s about contouring versus hachuring on Ordnance maps. \n\nWe will meet again on December 5th from 12:30-1:30pm in Angell Hall 3154 to discuss the first chapter from Tilottama Rajan's *Romantic Narratives: Shelley\, Hays\, Godwin\, and Wollstonecraft* (2010)\, called “The Trauma of Lyric: Shelley’s Missed Encounter with Poetry in Alastor.” \n\nA light vegetarian lunch will be served. Please kindly RSVP to Ani Bezirdzhyan (abezirdz@umich.edu) to receive the pre-circulated reading materials. \n\nAll are welcome to attend one or both events in the reading series.

Our lab has accessed an especially powerful synthetic macrocycle motif offering the broadest range of affinity in binding guests for any such known host. Through precise molecular engineering of these interactions\, we can specifically probe the impact of host–guest affinity and concomitant dynamics on bulk properties of hydrogels. Tuning molecular-scale affinity affords an approach to controlling the bulk dynamics of the material\, which translates to tunable release of encapsulated payloads\, dictates the rate of cell infiltration\, and controls the timeframe of material clearance in vivo. Certain of these host–guest interactions are furthermore able to achieve affinities approaching those of biotin-avidin\, enabling recognition in complex or contaminated environments\, and offering a new non-biological axis for drug homing and retention at desired sites in the body. This synthetic chemistry can also be integrated to enable communication\, and perhaps even dynamic reciprocity\, with the living world. The ability to recognize certain analytes affords logical application of these macrocycles in the context of detecting compounds of interest in complicated specimens. As such\, the ability to leverage host–guest recognition over a broad spectrum of possible affinities affords a powerful means to control the properties of materials across length scales while also maximizing functionality in these materials.

However\, due to data limitations\, changes in female economic mobility over time are not well understood. Using a set of marriage certificates from Massachusetts over the period of 1850-1910\, we link men and women to their childhood and adult census records to obtain a measure of occupational standing across two generations. Intergenerational mobility for women is higher than for men during 1850-1880. Between 1880-1910\, men’s mobility increases to converge with that of women. We also find evidence of assortative mating based on the correlation in occupational income score and real estate wealth between the husband’s and wife’s fathers.

Annamalai DESCRIPTION:Prof. Annamali will give a presentation titled “Modeling Asian monsoon precipitation climatology: Representation of air-sea interactions over the tropical Indian Ocean” \n\nAbstract: Forecasting monsoon rainfall using dynamical climate models has met with little success\, partly due to models’ inability to represent the monsoon climatological state accurately. Relative to observations\, multi-model-mean (MMM) errors for the Asian-Australian Monsoon (AAM) precipitation climatology show little improvement in the last few decades. In climate models\, precipitation errors persist throughout the annual cycle\, with positive (negative) errors occurring over the near-equatorial western Indian Ocean (South Asia). \n\nThe persistence of model errors over the decades suggests that they perhaps arise from multiple processes and their interactions. Here\, with a focus on air-sea interactions and their impact on monsoon convection\, the nature and dynamical causes of the models’ biases are investigated. We identify three key regions where realistic representations of air-sea interactions are necessary\, and they are: (i) equatorial Indian Ocean (EIO)\; (ii) Somali-Oman and (iii) northern Bay of Bengal.\n\nBio: Prof. Annamalai works on understanding the processes that determine the monsoon- Indian Ocean climate systems. He applies process-based diagnostics to assess the observed and modeled monsoons across all time scales\, and to identify leading processes that account for systematic errors in representing monsoon precipitation climatology in climate models. \nHe is a member of the international CLIVAR Monsoons Panel\, and also serves as the co-Chair of the CLIVAR Asian-Australian monsoon working group.

Informal Cooperation or Failure to Cooperate? Explaining Low Levels of Formal Cooperation between Certain Authoritarian States DESCRIPTION:Bahrain\, Kuwait\, Oman\, Qatar\, Saudi Arabia\, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have very few formal international agreements with each other despite sharing attributes that existing scholarship argues promote international cooperation – for example\, geographic contiguity\, similar legal system\, and cultural affinity. Even if we look solely at the UAE and Saudi Arabia\, which are both wealthy states\, they have registered only one bilateral agreement with the United Nations. In contrast\, Canada and the US have registered over 300 bilateral agreements. Does this absence of formal agreements among GCC states imply a cooperation failure? In co-authored work with Melissa Carlson\, Koremenos argues that authoritarian monarchies frequently cooperate with each other but do so informally. At the domestic level\, absolute monarchs pursue their personal interests by unilaterally and non-transparently developing and implementing policies. These norms of domestic policymaking engender an “absolutist logic\,” which shapes how absolute monarchs selectively use informal and formal cooperation at the international level. When cooperating with each other\, absolute monarchs maximize mutual private benefits through similarly unilateral and non-transparent policymaking\, producing secret\, cartel-like informal international agreements. One important implication of our work is that it is regime type\, not religion\, that drives particular state preferences for informality\, thereby refuting prominent work in the field that argues it is the Islamic nature of certain states that propels them toward informal cooperation.\n \nPolitical Science Professor Barbara Koremenos received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. She won a National Science Foundation CAREER Award for her research -- the first such winner to study international relations and law. She has given seminars in the United States\, Canada\, Denmark\, France\, Germany\, Greece\, Italy\, Japan\, Latvia\, South Korea\, Spain\, and Switzerland. Her award-winning book\, \"The Continent of International Law: Explaining Agreement Design\" (Cambridge University Press)\, focuses on how international law can be structured to make international cooperation most successful given harsh international political realities. Koremenos has published in both political science and law journals\, including American Political Science Review\, International Organization\, Journal of Conflict Resolution\, Journal of Legal Studies\, and Law and Contemporary Problems. She is currently serving on a National Academy of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine committee concerning Mutual Recognition Agreements in Medicine.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

While the United States chose to exercise its right of veto in the UN Security Council to block a resolution criticizing the presidential decision\, the remaining members of the council\, including close U.S. allies\, criticized it. Similarly\, the UN General Assembly\, the European Union\, the Arab League\, and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation have all passed strongly worded resolutions saying that they would not recognize any changes to the pre-1967 borders\, including in and around Jerusalem. This talk examines the legal standing of the U.S. decision in light of previous positions that the United States has historically adopted or endorsed.

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

Each semester\, Writer to Writer pairs one esteemed University professor with a Sweetland faculty member for a conversation about writing.\n\nThis month Writer to Writer welcomes Jennifer Proctor. Jennifer Proctor is an Associate Professor of Journalism and Screen Studies at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and co-founder and director of the inclusive teaching initiative EDIT Media (Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion in Teaching Media). She is a filmmaker and media artist whose internationally recognized\, award-winning found footage work examines the history of experimental film\, Hollywood tropes\, and the representation of women in cinema. Her recent work\, in particular\, seeks to blur boundaries between avant-garde film practices and the scholarly video essay. Her 2018 film \"Nothing a Little Soap and Water Can't Fix\,\" which examines the bathtub as a feminized domestic space\, won the Cutters Archival Film Award at the Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Top Grit at the Indie Grits Film Festival\, and Best Experimental Film at the St. Francis College Women's Film Festival\, in addition to screening at more than forty film festivals around the world. Her recent video\, \"Am I Pretty?\" appropriates the voices of tween girls from YouTube videos to explore the development of self-image and self-esteem in the modern era. In addition to screening at film festivals\, including the Ann Arbor Film Festival\, \"Am I Pretty?\" appears in a special issue on audiography in [in]Transition: The Journal of Videographic Film and Moving Image Studies. \n\nWriter to Writer takes place at the Literati bookstore (124 E. Washington) on Tuesday\, November 19th from 7-8pm. These conversations offer students a rare glimpse into the writing that professors do outside the classroom. You can hear instructors from various disciplines describe how they handle the same challenges student writers face\, from finding a thesis to managing deadlines. Professors will also discuss what they want from student writers in their courses\, and will take questions put forth by students and by other members of the University community. If there's anything you've ever wanted to ask a professor about writing\, Writer to Writer gives you the chance.

She has produced documentaries for the BBC and PBS about uprisings in the Middle East\, particularly in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Her 2014 BBC documentary\, Saudi’s Secret Uprising\, brought attention to government suppression of unreported popular demonstrations in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. At great personal risk\, she has been one of the few journalists to report from the ground on the crisis and conflict between Houthi rebels\, militant groups\, and the Yemeni government and its Saudi allies. Her documentaries for PBS’s Frontline\, including “The Fight for Yemen” (2015)\, “Yemen Under Siege” (2016)\, and “Targeting Yemen” (2019)\, reveal the human cost and the underlying contending interests that are engaged in a deadly and complex regional conflict. As an Arab woman\, she has won precious access to communities and human beings suffering in this war. Her courageous reporting has provided essential and intimate perspectives that challenge assumptions that often shape conventional journalistic narratives.\nThis event will not be ticketed. Overflow seating will be available.\nFor more information\, visit the Wallenberg website.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

Mellon Workshop: Historical and Contemporary Expressions of Populism in Africa and Beyond DESCRIPTION:Populism has re-emerged across the globe\, displaying multiple\, left and right leaning variants and provoking complex engagements with the limits of liberal democracy. There is a new generation of populists on the African stage\, offering contradictory and often disturbing visions regarding Africa’s future. Some\, including Julius Malema and the Economic Freedom Fighters in South Africa\, have re- imagined concepts and policies linked historically to theories on the left\, while others\, such as David Bahati and the anti-gay campaigners of Uganda\, have advanced a deeply conservative and reactionary religiosity. These new forms of populism that are being expressed across the political spectrum invite careful analysis of the continuities and ruptures in African politics from the 20th to the 21st centuries\, as well as the ways in which ideas and movements travel across national boundaries. Several contemporary populist movements are historically rooted in older movements on the continent\, and those histories provide linguistic markers and affective registers for contemporary encounters. Yet the current brands of populism are also distinctive in their own right\, rather than simply being a re- packaging and reiteration of national liberation. As in the 1950s and 60s—the era of decolonization— when newly independent African states were sometimes confronted with populist movements that challenged their technocratic and nationalist frames\, the failures of postcolonial developmental projects have provoked contestations today. Moreover\, in the 1970s\, African dictators drew on new media— radio and television in particular—to define for their audiences new modes of political and cultural belonging. Social media today is different from that period in reach and in tone\, but it has made possible the creation of new spaces and organisational forms for politics. For example\, aided by social media\, social movements\, especially queer and feminist organisations\, have escalated in intensity and appeal over the past several decades\, and these also shape the contours of populism. Their aspirations and objectives significantly inform populist rhetoric\, either acting as subjects of its many demands\, or as the objects of derision.\n\nThis workshop will reflect on the cultural and political registers and infrastructures of populism in Africa (and elsewhere). What circumstances invite (some) people to see themselves as an oppressed majority? What work do authenticité and other nativist agendas do to clarify identities and marginalize minorities? What is the relationship between African forms of liberal democracy\, and development in particular\, and populism? Are populist movements opening up spaces for new forms of gendered political performances? Finally\, what lessons can be learned from the past as African\, American\, and European democracies together confront a renewed wave of nativist enthusiasm?

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:63992-16059411@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:20191120T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191120T180000 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.

Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed and considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled? \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAs part of his residency\, Sawyer also worked with U-M students to create a mural to honor Samuel C. Watson\, the first African American student admitted to the University of Michigan. The mural is on view on the first floor of MLB.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, and curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan. His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual and collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit. Sawyer is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. His passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth including various community arts programs throughout New York\, where he served as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. He earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University. In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

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:66701-16770269@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:20191119T090744 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191120T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191120T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ripple Effect DESCRIPTION:Ripple Effect is an interactive art exhibition that visualizes local water quality data through sound\, light\, and water. 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:58562-15002314@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:63803-15884118@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.

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

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. 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:63842-15931474@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:20191205T063015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191120T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191120T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:District Virtual Job Fair DESCRIPTION:Polk County Schools is hiring!

In AdS\, where such observables are equivalent to CFT correlation functions\, recent years have seen significant progress in our understanding of their structure owing to the development of numerous systematic techniques\, many of which have drawn inspiration from the successes and the strengths of the scattering amplitudes programme in flat space. In dS however\, the problem is more complicated owing to the time-dependence of the background and it is unclear how consistent time evolution is encoded in spatial correlations on the boundary. This makes application of our hard-earned wisdom from flat and AdS spaces far from straightforward. In this talk we explain how boundary correlators in AdS and dS can be placed on an equal footing by adopting a Mellin-Barnes representation in momentum space\, providing a framework in which techniques and results available in AdS can be generalised to de Sitter. This connection allows us to systematically derive expressions for exchange diagrams in de Sitter involving fields with and without spin. Throughout we shall keep in mind applications to the classification of possible non-Gaussianities in cosmological correlation functions\, of both scalar and tensor fluctuations.

This link is in part due to the expectation that alcohol reduces feelings of social anxiety. Despite wide variations in cultural norms for drinking\, little work has examined the social anxiety-alcohol association across cultural groups. Our present work with epidemiological data suggests that there is a stronger link between social anxiety and drinking in Asian Americans compared with non-Hispanic whites. Future directions for research on cultural differences in alcohol expectancies are also 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:66521-16744965@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.

Drawing on data generated through discussion groups and semi-structured interviews with ten women who self-identify as disabled or chronically ill\, my dissertation complicates existing theories of disclosure by exploring how individuals employ rhetorical tactics of “masking” in their disclosures of disability and trauma. Within this theoretical framing\, I understand masking as a process of disclosure that both reveals and conceals\, that engages in silence and speech (or other forms of multimodal and embodied communication). \n \nIn this talk\, I draw from qualitative data to explore how participants adopt particular affective stances as rhetorical vehicles for disclosure that can help mediate how those disclosures are received. In particular\, participants draw on humor to advocate for access\, to deemphasize being read as having a political “agenda\,” or to soften the material and emotional stigma of disability or trauma. For example\, Rachel wrote an online blog about her experiences of institutionalization\, making fun of her hospital attire and highlighting the mundane milestones\, like painting one’s nails\, that constituted acts of wellness\, in order to humanize those who are institutionalized\, particularly herself. These rhetorical uses of humor work as tactics of resistance (Certeau 1980)\, as participants adopt more socially acceptable\, affective means of self-advocacy. However\, akin to Hannah Gadsby’s (2018) argument in her stand-up\, Nanette\, there are often embodied and epistemological prices to pay for humor. Using participants’ stories\, I highlight how humor as translation requires emotional and rhetorical labor\, and I interrogate the stakes of adopting humor\, particularly when humor may fail to portray the “whole story” of experience.\n\nWe hope you can attend and support our Jobseekers\, light refreshments will be available.

We performed ATAC-seq in human iPSC-derived neurons\, and identified thousands of variants affecting chromatin accessibility. Such variants are highly enriched with risk variants of a range of brain disorders. We computationally fine-mapped causal variants and experimentally tested their activities using CRISPRi followed by single cell RNA-seq. Our work provides a framework for prioritizing noncoding disease variants.\n\nThe second part of my talk will be focused on genetics of N6-methyladenosine (m6A)\, a common form of mRNA modification. m6A plays an important role in regulating various aspects of mRNA metabolism in eukaryotes. However\, little is known about how DNA sequence variations may affect the m6A modification and the role of m6A in common diseases. We mapped genetic variants associated with m6A levels in 60 Yoruba lymphoblast cell lines. By leveraging these variants\, our analysis provides novel insights of mechanisms regulating m6A installation\, and downstream effects of m6A on other molecular traits such as translation rate. Integrated analysis with GWAS data reveals m6A variation as an important mechanism linking genetic variations to complex diseases.\n\nBlueJeans livestreaming link: https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/live-event/rbuvycdc\n\n3:45 p.m. - Light Refreshments\n4:00 p.m. - Lecture UID:68972-17205312@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68972 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Human Genetics,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191106T113929 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191120T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191120T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The Joys and Challenges in Changing to the Scale Up Paradigm DESCRIPTION:Even before Purdue opened its Active Learning Center\, I staked my claim to a room designed according to the SCALE UP model.

Although the origins of this phenomenon can be traced to the Renaissance (and beyond)\, the real flourishing of courtesy treatises started in the 18th century\, partially due to the spread of French language and manners throughout European courts. Their sheer number is staggering\, yet we still know very little not only about their audience but also about their authors or compilers. With some notable exceptions\, such as Baldassare Castiglione’s Il Cortegiano and Baltasar Gracián’s Oráculo\, even less attention is paid to their translations. But if we take much less famous treatises\, the fact is that most of them were translated at least into one – and more often into several – European languages. For example\, many books of Abbé de Bellegarde\, a prolific distributor of advice\, were rendered into English\, German\, Portuguese\, Polish and Russian. When we compare these translations with the originals (the “originality” of the originals is another problem to be dealt with)\, it becomes obvious that not all advice was “translatable” either because of political implications or because of linguistic difficulties (the absence of relevant vocabulary in the target language). This paper is part of a research project that attempts to trace the network of translations of the 17th and the 18th century’s courtesy books. It will focus on English and Russian translations of Jacques de Callières’ and Abbé de Bellegarde’s treatises. \n\n\nNational Peculiarity of Boredom: English spleen\, French l’ennui\, Russian khandra.\n\nNatalia Mazur is Professor of History of Art and Provost\, European University at St. Petersburg:\n\nIn the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries\, many European philosophers\, theologians\, physicians and writers agreed that boredom was the main malady of their time. However\, the nature and the causes of boredom were explained differently in different countries. The English considered spleen\, or the “English malady\,” a serious disease often leading to suicide: people afflicted by spleen looked for medical help. The French saw the roots of l’ennui in human psychology or in the structure of the society: one could escape l’ennui through religion or revolution. The protagonists of the best Russian novels – from Pushkin's Eugene Onegin to Goncharov's Ilya Oblomov – were looking for a remedy against boredom. What has happened to boredom in the last two centuries\, what do we call it today\, and how can the history of emotions help us escape it?

Space\, Time\, and Unusual Human Bodies in Buddhism DESCRIPTION:First Annual Luis Gómez Memorial Lecture\n\nTaking the ordinary human body as a baseline\, Buddhist authors sometimes chose to imagine the human body in an exaggerated way\, on a scale utterly beyond the realm of human experience. Human bodies that extend through space until they reach the ends of the universe\; human bodies that contain everything in the universe\; human bodies whose individual body-parts are multiplied until they reach almost-infinite numbers\; human bodies whose lifespans stretch throughout eons of time to approach eternity—all of these constitute Buddhist examples of using the human body as a “corporeal code” by means of which human beings give voice to that which is immaterial\, unimaginable\, and otherwise unfathomable. This talk will examine the Buddhist use of human bodies on a non-human scale to give voice to immaterial and otherwise hard-to-conceptualize entities.

Though the Russian\, Iranian\, and Young Turk Revolutions all exploded between 1904 and 1911\, they have never been studied through their linkages until now. “Roving Revolutionaries” probes the interconnected aspects of these three revolutions through the involvement of the Armenian revolutionaries—minorities in all of these empires. Armenian revolutionary movements and Armenian participation within and across frontiers tell us a great deal about the global transformations that were taking shape. Exploring the geographical and ideological boundary crossings\, this archivally grounded analysis of the circulation of revolutionaries\, ideas\, and print tells the story of peoples and ideologies in upheaval and their practices of collaborating. In doing so\, the talk will illuminate our understanding of revolutions and movements.\n\nDr. Houri Berberian is Professor of History\, Meghrouni Family Presidential Chair in Armenian Studies\, and Director of the Armenian Studies Program at the University of California\, Irvine. She is the author of a number of articles and two books\, “Armenians and the Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1911: The Love for Freedom Has No Fatherland” (Perseus\, 2011) and\, most recently\, “Roving Revolutionaries: Armenians and Connected Revolutions in the Russian\, Iranian\, and Ottoman Worlds” (UC Press\, 2019).\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.

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:63992-16059412@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:20191121T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191121T180000 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.

Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed and considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled? \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAs part of his residency\, Sawyer also worked with U-M students to create a mural to honor Samuel C. Watson\, the first African American student admitted to the University of Michigan. The mural is on view on the first floor of MLB.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, and curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan. His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual and collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit. Sawyer is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. His passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth including various community arts programs throughout New York\, where he served as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. He earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University. In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

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:66701-16770270@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:20191013T113743 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191121T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191121T113000 SUMMARY:Other:Making Voting More Convenient: Implementing Michigan’s Proposal 3 (Promote the Vote) DESCRIPTION:Passage of Proposal 3 in November\, 2018\, amended the Michigan Constitution by adding a list of voting rights\, which include “no reason absentee” voting and expanding voter registration options.

Patton DESCRIPTION:Department of Biomedical Engineering Final Oral Examination\n \nDaniella M. Patton\n \nChanges in Femoral Microstructure Following Injury and with Aging\n \nThe ACL\, a tendon connected to the distal femur\, has little regenerative capacity. In consequence\, surgical intervention is required if a patient hopes to remain active following ACL injury. In addition to the long recovery time and associated morbidities (e.g.\, osteoarthritis) following surgery\, up to 12% of the primary reconstructed ACL grafts will fail within 15 years. Revision reconstructions are inferior to primary ACL reconstructions\, thus\, understanding the mechanism of failure is critical to mitigate worst case outcomes. Reasons for revision risk has largely focused on technical errors despite that biological factors may also be a cause. Bone\, a biological factor\, decreases in mass following ACL injury. However\, how bone microstructure changes following injury has remained largely unexplored.\n \nWe determined that bone microstructure vastly differs on a patient-by-patient basis undergoing ACL reconstructive surgery. Differences in microarchitecture could not be explained by time from injury to operation (i.e.\, time of disuse) or activity the patient was participating in at the moment of injury. Thus\, differences in bone quality is due to variability present at baseline\, in response to injury\, and/or activity level following injury. Clinically\, these findings are important because we are the first to show that bone quality drastically varies across patient groups\, pointing out that microstructure may be an important factor to consider in assessing ACL injury risk and surgical outcomes.\n \nThe second half of this thesis compared age-related and sex-specific differences in bone microstructure to whole bone strength in the proximal femur with the long term goal of improving diagnostic methods to assess osteoporotic hip fracture risk. Hip fragility fractures are costly\, associated with a severe decrease in the quality of life\, and nearly half of patients (>65 years) who suffer a hip fracture never regain normal function. Unfortunately\, approximately fifty percent of patients that experience a hip fracture receive no prophylactic treatment prior to fragility fracture because they are not diagnosed as osteoporotic using current clinical diagnostic methods. Both bone mass and microstructure change with age and the progression of osteoporosis. However\, technical limitations have made it difficult to measure fracture risk from a biomechanical perspective - relating proximal femur bone strength and microstructure in synergy.\n \nWe determined that the magnitude of sex-specific differences in bone strength was greater than age-related strength loss endured throughout life. Further\, there was no sex-specific difference in the rate of loss observed herein. Clinically\, these findings demonstrate that if females could maximize bone quality early in life\, they may be able to maintain the structural strength later on\, even with bone loss\, to mitigate fragility fractures altogether. Further\, mechanical variables (i.e.\, stiffness and post-yield-displacement) and demographic data (i.e.\, age and sex) could not adequately explain variability in whole bone strength. Microstructural analysis in the femoral neck improved our ability to predict whole bone strength\, but demonstrated that sub-regional microstructural detail only modestly improved strength predictability in comparison to average measures across the femoral neck. Despite this\, we found that increased levels of micro-architectural detail are needed to identify sex-specific differences in whole bone strength. Clinically\, these findings demonstrate that regional analysis may be useful for identifying those at greatest risk of fracture earlier in life and in a sex-specific manner.

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:58562-15002315@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:63803-15884119@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.

Light refreshments will be provided.\n\nWork-family conflict is one of the central foci in gender inequality scholarship. Existing research has mostly considered the conflict as an incompatibility of commitments predominantly experienced by women. In this talk\, I capitalize on China’s termination of the one-child policy in 2016\, and introduce individuals’ perceived incompatibility of rights as another key dimension. Using a mixed-methods design that combines national surveys and in-depth interviews\, I demonstrate that individuals espousing gender egalitarian beliefs\, which emphasize women’s right to work over the primacy of women’s roles as wives and mothers\, more strongly support the state’s role in limiting births. This support is underlain by the perception and experience that for women\, work and family are incompatible beyond competing commitments: The expansion of individuals’ right to parent is viewed as at the expense of women’s right to work. Three interlocking forces underscore individuals’\, particularly women’s\, perception and experience of work-family conflict as an incompatibility of rights: 1) Macro-level reproductive and family policies that view women foremost as mothers and caregivers\, from a state that exerts strong power over its citizens\; 2) Meso-level discriminatory labor market conditions with limited recourse for claims-making\; and 3) Micro-level gendered division of care work and normative expectations of women’s and men’s roles and responsibilities in marriage\, procreating\, and parenting.

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.

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.

Even though this is a fundamental principle in ecology\, it has been observed empirically that in some settings it will fail. One example is Hutchinson's `paradox of the plankton'. This is an instance where a large number of phytoplankton species coexist while competing for a very limited number of resources. Both experimental and theoretical studies have shown that in some instances (deterministic) temporal fluctuations of the environment can facilitate coexistence for competing species. Hutchinson conjectured that one can get coexistence because non-equilibrium conditions would make it possible for different species to be favored by the environment at different times. In this talk I will look at how environmental noise interacts with competitive exclusion. I will show that\, contrary to Hutchinson's explanation\, one can switch between two environments in which the same species is favored and still get coexistence.

Lawrence called the western Mediterranean island of Sardinia an unsubdued landscape “outside the circuit of civilization\,” never fully colonized by Romans\, Phoenicians\, or Greeks. This view is representative of wider scholarly perceptions\, which have generally considered the coastal colonies of ancient traders separately from the rural\, inland landscapes inhabited by the indigenous populations. In order to break down this binary\, Sinis Archaeological Project explores ancient colonial interaction\, landscape use\, and resource exploitation in the coastal and inland landscapes of west-central Sardinia. Dr. Gosner will provide a preliminary report of our first two seasons of landscape survey\, held in 2018 and 2019. She discusses the methodology for our multi-scalar survey\, discuss the preliminary results from our survey of an inland agricultural zone\, and assess how survey can provide a clearer picture of Phoenician\, Punic\, and Roman strategies for colonization and trade on the island.

African Mathematics: Dzimbahwe Cosmologies\, Methods\, & Applications DESCRIPTION:In his current book project\, entitled African Chemistry: Science with an African Totem\, Chakanetsa asks the question: What does it mean to talk about African chemistry as imagined and practiced by Africans? Not simply western chemistry in African hands\, but African-originated ideas and modes of chemistry\, and the implications of taking these historical\, philosophical\, cultural\, and technical understandings seriously with respect to Africa’s sustainable development. The book starts from endogenous modes of chemistry\, through their encounters with incoming European influences\, to the present in which young Africans are reclaiming indigenous foods\, medicines\, metallurgy\, etc. and turning them into vibrant commercial product\, value chain\, and livelihood innovations. African Chemistry marks the beginning of an “African Science” book series which over the next decade will extend Chakanetsa’s research and writing to African physics\, biology\, medicine\, mathematics/computation\, engineering\, science fiction\, and digital innovation. The talk isolates and provides an early reading of the African chemistry material\, reflecting with the audience implications of these archives\, histories\, and philosophies of science from Africa for the global histories and current and future practices of science\, technology\, and innovation.

Professor Alexandra Klass from the University of Minnesota Law School will discuss recent developments in U.S. energy law\, policy\, economics\, and technology. Although President Trump and his cabinet Secretaries\, particularly at the Interior Department\, Energy Department\, and Environmental Protection Agency\, have announced dramatic policy shifts away from those pursued during the Obama Administration\, the new administration’s ability to accomplish its goals is in some instances helped and in other instances hindered by existing federal and state laws as well as private sector technology and economic trends. Topics will include the shift away from the use of coal and toward natural gas and renewable energy in the electricity sector\; the use of federal public lands to develop oil\, natural gas\, coal\, wind\, and solar energy\; developments in technology and law associated with hydraulic facturing (\"fracking\")\; and controversies over new oil and gas pipelines such as the Dakota Access and Keystone XL Pipelines. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\nProfessor Alexandra B. Klass teaches and writes in the areas of energy law\, environmental law\, natural resources law\, tort law\, and property law. Her recent scholarly work\, published in many of the nation’s leading law journals\, addresses regulatory challenges to integrating more renewable energy into the nation’s electric grid\, transportation electrification\, oil and gas transportation infrastructure\, and the use of eminent domain for electric transmission lines and pipelines. She is a co-author of Energy Law: Concepts and Insights Series (Foundation Press 2017)\, Energy Law and Policy (West Academic Publishing 2d ed. 2018)\, Natural Resources Law: A Place-Based Book of Problems and Cases (Wolters Kluwer\, 4th ed.\, 2018)\, and The Practice and Policy of Environmental Law (Foundation Press\, 4th ed. 2017). Professor Klass was named the Stanley V. Kinyon Teacher of the Year for 2009-2010\, and she served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs from 2010-2012. She was a Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School in 2015. She is a Distinguished McKnight University Professor and in prior years was the Julius E. Davis Professor of Law and the Solly Robins Distinguished Research Fellow. \n\nPrior to her teaching career\, Professor Klass was a partner at Dorsey & Whitney LLP in Minneapolis\, where she specialized in environmental law\, natural resources\, and land use matters. During her years in private practice from 1993-2004\, she handled cases in federal and state trial and appellate courts involving contaminated property\, wetlands\, environmental review\, mining\, environmental rights\, zoning\, eminent domain\, and environmental torts. She clerked for the Honorable Barbara B. Crabb\, Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin from 1992-1993.

We present new results of three\nsequential facility-location models that involve (i) competition and\nprobabilistic customer choice\, (ii) location prioritization given uncertain\nbudget\, and (iii) location-dependent uncertain demand with ambiguously known distribution. For (i)\, we utilize submodularity and outer approximation to derive valid inequalities used as cuts to efficiently solve an exact mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) reformulation of the bilevel Stackelberg game. For (ii) and (iii)\, we derive multi-stage mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) and MINLP formulations based on moment ambiguity sets of unknown distribution of the stochastic demand. We employ the Stochastic Dual Dynamic integer Programming (SDDiP) for solving the multi-stage MILP/MINLP formulations using scenario-tree representations of the uncertainty. Via numerical studies\, we show the computational efficacy of our approach as well as managerial insights of the new facility location models.\n\nBio: Siqian Shen is an Associate Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan and also serves as an Associate Director in the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE).

Here we examine the coupled nature of these populations and the role of wave-particle interactions in transferring energy and momentum among them. In particular\, we focus on the highly dynamic radiation belts\, which often exhibit dramatic variations in intensity and spatial extent. Utilizing the growing constellation of spacecraft in Earth’s magnetosphere\, including recent CubeSat and balloon measurements\, we explore loss of electrons from the outer radiation belt\, as well as the potential drivers of this loss. Through multi-point measurements\, we are able to disentangle spatial and temporal evolution and estimate scale sizes of various processes. Looking forward\, we will also discuss an upcoming CubeSat mission\, GTOSat\, which will pave the way for future affordable magnetospheric constellation missions. These studies aid in the understanding of outer radiation belt dynamics and the relationship between precipitating energetic electrons\, electromagnetic waves\, and global magnetospheric conditions.

As part of this overhaul\, a range of reforms were instituted to modernize anatomical and medical studies thereby placing Spanish science on a more secure footing with the rest of Europe. During this period of transformation\, the study of life and death and the emergence of new developments in the practice of resuscitation opened promising avenues of research for exploring the wonders of the human body. Yet\, as Fernández-Medina will argue through the work of some of Spain’s foremost physicians and thinkers\, it also sparked one of the fiercest debates in the Spanish Enlightenment on the expansion of scientific knowledge and its role in modern society.\n\nProfessor Fernández-Medina specializes in late eighteenth- to early twentieth-century Spanish literature\, philosophy\, and intellectual history\, including Enlightenment thought\, philosophy of science and the body\, social history of ideas in medicine\, modernist aesthetics\, and the avant-garde.\n\nHe is the author of Life Embodied: The Promise of Vital Force in Spanish Modernity (McGill-Queen’s UP\, 2018)\, Modernism and the Avant-garde Body in Spain and Italy (co-edited with Maria Truglio\, New York: Routledge\, 2016)\, and The Poetics of Otherness in Antonio Machado’s ‘Proverbios y cantares’ (U of Wales P\, 2011). His current book\, Raising the Dead: The Science and Literature of Resuscitation in Spain explores Spanish modernity’s unending fascination with the life/death divide and analyzes the numerous social narratives of existence and mortality that have shaped Spain’s cultural imaginary.

Reducing the propellant required\, can lead to longer space exploration mission lifetimes and ranges. Alternatively\, replacing some propellant with more scientific instruments would yield greater scientific return. A key to reducing the propellant required is to design space missions that exploit the natural dynamics. The past decades have seen significant research in this direction\, leading to novel low-energy trajectory design methods based on dynamical systems theory\, opening up a whole new class of possible space exploration missions. This is still an expanding area of research\, incorporating newer technologies such as solar-electric propulsion and solar sails. This seminar will primarily focus on missions around irregular bodies such as asteroids. In these regimes\, the orbital and attitude dynamics are significantly more coupled than in regimes near spherical bodies such as planets\, providing the possibility of using the spacecraft’s attitude to affect the orbital trajectory. A suitable gravitational model will be presented\, as well as analysis to understand how the gravitational force varies with a spacecraft’s attitude\, and how this can be exploited to modify the orbital trajectory. Future research directions will also be discussed.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nAnton H.J. de Ruiter is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in the department of Aerospace Engineering at Ryerson University in Toronto\, Canada. He received the Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2005. Between 2006 and 2008 he was a visiting research fellow at the Canadian Space Agency in Montreal\, and an assistant professor in the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University from 2009 to 2012. His current research interests are in the area of space systems\, astrodynamics\, space robotics and space mission design. He serves as Editor-In-Chief of the Proceedings of the IMechE\, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering\, and as Associate Editor in the area of space systems for the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems. He is the primary author of the book “Spacecraft Dynamics and Control: An Introduction”\, published in January 2013 by John Wiley and Sons\, which is used as course and reference text at a number of universities around the world. He has published his research findings in 62 journal articles.

DESCRIPTION:The importance of biodiversity to ecosystem functions such as biomass production and carbon storage is a key question in basic ecology\, where it has been investigated largely through small-scale experiments and theory. It is also a key assumption in the conservation world that maintaining ecosystem services requires maintaining biodiversity. The role of biodiversity in ecosystem service provision in real-world landscapes is far from clear scientifically\, however\, in part because new conceptual approaches are required to even frame the question at these larger scales. In this talk I will discuss how my research program is tackling this problem.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/ortGYFbEWpo\n\nSponsored by the U-M Museum of Zoology Theodore H.

Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed? Can this thread be considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled? \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, & curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan. His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual & collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit\, Michigan. Tylonn is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. Sawyer’s passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth. He has worked with various community arts programs throughout New York\, serving as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. Tylonn earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University. In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

Cultivating Islamic Humanities in the 16th century Ottoman Context: An Integrative Approach to the Shaykh al-Islâm Ibn Kamâl's Corpus DESCRIPTION:This presentation is based on Ekiz's tentative dissertation project\, which looks into the Islamicate humanities through one of the most distinguished members of early 16th century Ottoman scholarly class\, the chief jurisconsult and scholar-littérateur Sh̲ams al-dīn Aḥmad b. Sulaymān b. Kamāl Pas̲h̲a\, known as Kemalpaşazade or Ibn Kamal. Having vastly produced in various branches of knowledge\, he is known for his encyclopedic\, multilingual\, cosmopolitan erudition. Taking up an integrative approach which attempts at dealing with his scholarship without compartmentalizing it according to disparate sciences\, I aim at understanding the methods that bring seemingly contradictory epistemologies together\, namely Akbarian monism\, Avicennan philosophy and the late Ashari speculative theology. Could we talk about a synthesizing\, universalist project that Kemalpaşazade deliberately employs to create an Ottoman orthodoxy? I argue that orthodoxy\, Sunnitization or confessionalization do not do full justice to the agenda pursued by cosmopolitan Ottoman scholars by overlooking humanistic aspect of Ottoman “scholasticism”. Therefore\, my presentation is going to focus on how the study of humanities\, of literary and linguistic sciences came to be the primary pursuit of a certain class of Ottoman scholars. My project also tries to contribute to the long- neglected field of Islamicate paideia and understudied post-classical Islamic thought.

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!

During the Lake Stanley low water phase (10\,000–7500 cal BP)\, the AAR formed a dry land corridor linking northeastern lower Michigan with south-central Ontario. Archaeological explorations of the AAR have demonstrated that it was a focus of early human activity during Lake Stanley times. Stone hunting structures preserved on the AAR are among the oldest dated examples on the planet and the lithic industry is unlike anything known in the Great Lakes region. The range of hunting and fishing activities is likewise novel and unlike contemporary sites on land.\n\nThis talk describes both the techniques of underwater research that the University of Michigan team has developed for investigating these submerged sites and summarizes some of the most recent findings surfacing from the research.\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society.\nTo learn more about the MAS\, please visit http://www.miarch.org/\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible.
