SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Oil on Water: Painting on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Danielle Eubank is an award-winning artist who has been on four international sailing expeditions and painted every ocean on the planet to raise awareness about the oceans and climate change. Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. She creates patterns within patterns\, representing vertical stacks of rhythms. The undulating forms\, such as water ripples\, oil slicks\, and refuse\, combined with the memories that water evokes\, makes her work eye-opening\, yet soothing and sensual. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1                                                                       \n1500 E.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. 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/

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WHITE HISTORY MONTH VOL. 1
DESCRIPTION:Mining 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 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. 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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia
DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times\, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality\, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Fabrication Studio at the Duderstadt Center\, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and SeeMeCNC 3D Printers.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. 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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. 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/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Oil on Water: Painting on Linen
DESCRIPTION:Danielle Eubank is an award-winning artist who has been on four international sailing expeditions and painted every ocean on the planet to raise awareness about the oceans and climate change. Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. She creates patterns within patterns\, representing vertical stacks of rhythms.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. 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

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

DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. 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/

SUMMARY:Performance:Gemini
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nGemini is the much-loved duo of Sandor and Laszlo Slomovits. They've been performing since 1973 and are now playing music for the third—or is it fourth?—generation of young fans and families. They write and perform acoustic music for children and families\, celebrating with their audiences the warmth\, fun\, and joy of family life. A Gemini concert is a kinetic event\, filled with rousing singalongs\, hand motion tunes\, folk tales\, and music from around the world. \"If the Pied Piper had been twins\, chances are he would have been Gemini\,\" says the Detroit News. Since 1979 San and Laz have released numerous recordings for adults and children and families. This is Gemini's annual Thanksgiving Weekend Benefit Concert for Mott Children’s Hospital. We’ll be joined by our “Good Mischief Band” (Brian Brill on piano and Aron Kaufman on drums) and special guest Emily Rose on violin and vocals. Emily\, San’s daughter\, was born and cared for in the Holden NICU of Mott 25 years ago.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nBill Kirchen is an Ann Arbor-bred guitar god\, a Telecaster titan who whirls through a whole gallery of country and rock styles over the course of an evening. After a stint as lead guitarist with Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen\, he's gone on to an acclaimed solo career\, and when he returns to town at the holidays his concerts turn into joyous reunions celebrating the glory days of the Ann Arbor honky-tonk scene\, with special guests often on hand. Some things haven't changed—the Austin American-Statesman recently praised his \"no-nonsense diesel guitar attack\, powered by great booming\, bottom-heavy licks still covered with axle grease.\" But Bill has evolved into a very funny rockabilly and country songwriter as well. This honky-tonk holiday show\, which has often featured special guests\, will get you in the mood for New Year's Eve a few weeks early!

SUMMARY:Other:Academic Year in Freiburg 2020/2021
DESCRIPTION:The best way to get to know Germany really well is to live there for an extended time.\n\nBy studying in Freiburg for a year\, you can practically earn all credits required for a German major and may possibly get distribution credits and credits towards a second major\; and you will live in one of the most attractive and desired places in Germany. This program is open to all University of Michigan undergraduate students.\n\nEligibility:\n* Minimum 3.0 GPA\n* Good academic standing\n* Sophomore\, Junior\, or Senior standing by Fall 2020\n* Completion of German 232 or equivalent prior to September 2020\n\nTuition for this year-long program is covered by a program fee (currently $8\,500/semester)\, and students receive University of Michigan in-residence credit for the courses they take during the Academic Year in Freiburg.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Danielle Eubank is an award-winning artist who has been on four international sailing expeditions and painted every ocean on the planet to raise awareness about the oceans and climate change. Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. She creates patterns within patterns\, representing vertical stacks of rhythms.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pen & Ink Queens
DESCRIPTION:Introverted and shy by nature\, Laura Cavanagh uses her art as an outlet to create humorous larger than life personalities. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Clinical Brown Bag:  The Neuropsychology of Stuff
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIn our current\, Western context of abundance\, we are surrounded by stuff. We are fortunate to have access to so many affordable items. Far from being simple utilitarian tools\, we have deeply personal\, emotional\, and sometimes even contentious relationships with our stuff\, as we do with other people. Most research on this topic resides either in the context of shopping and the way people overvalue their own stuff or clinical hoarding disorder\, in which people accumulate and failure to discard goods to the point of distress and impairment. Our interdisciplinary research instead assumes that all of these phenomena reflect a common\, neural and affective system that evolved to guide us toward rewarding items that we care for and protect. This system is largely adaptive\, but it can lead to bad consequences in a modern context of superabundance\, stress\, and chronic psychopathology. This talk summarizes our work in the ecological neuroscience laboratory\, which demonstrates a role for both positive and negative affect in our drive to acquire and keep goods\, which is subserved by ancient neural systems for allocating resources and produces individual differences across typical and disordered populations alike.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WHITE HISTORY MONTH VOL. 1
DESCRIPTION:Mining 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 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Seeking Justice for Syrian Victims of War Crimes: Possibilities and Limitations of Universal Jurisdiction
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to Ford School students only.\n\nSince 2011\, Syrians have witnessed widespread atrocities with an estimated 500\,000 killed\, tens of thousands disappeared and 12 million displaced from their homes. The International Criminal Court cannot prosecute Syrian war criminals\, and international mechanisms created by the UN have no jurisdiction to prosecute. Into this void\, European prosecutors in Special War Crimes units have invoked Universal Jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute those suspected of war crimes in Syria. Roger Lu Phillips\, Legal Director at the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre\, will discuss SJAC's work supporting Universal Jurisdiction prosecutions in Europe as well as its work ascertaining the fate of Syrian victims who have been detained or gone missing during the conflict.\n\nRoger Lu Phillips is a human rights lawyer at the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre (SJAC). He leads SJAC's coordination with special war crimes units in Europe that have undertaken the prosecution of atrocity crimes committed during the Syrian conflict through the exercise of Universal Jurisdiction. Prior to joining SJAC\, Mr. Phillips served for ten years as a United Nations lawyer at two international criminal tribunals in Cambodia and for Rwanda. \n\nThis event is open to Ford School students only. A light lunch will be provided. \nPlease sign up here: https://forms.gle/KGRFqZTVTvaXdZ4H9

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Primate patience: from foraging to cooperation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nIntertemporal choices involving tradeoffs between benefits and time costs are ubiquitous in both human and animal lives. Several proposals argue that nonhumans are stuck in the ‘now’\, whereas future-orienting cognition allows humans to think ahead and make adaptive decisions. What is the ultimate function of high levels of patience\, and why do such abilities emerge? I will argue that a suite of decision-making capacities including inter-temporal choice and future planning evolved in the context of foraging behaviors\, and vary with ecological complexity across species. Then\, I will examine how these capacities for self-control can be generalized from foraging contexts to solve new but evolutionarily-important problems\, like cooking food. Finally\, I will present work testing the hypothesis that low levels of self-control constrain cooperation in primates\, and therefore may explain human-unique forms of ultra-sociality.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:School district segregation and the racial inertia of parental choices since 1970
DESCRIPTION:A Population Studies Center Brown Bag Seminar.\n\nSince the 1970s\, residential segregation between school districts has accounted for two thirds of all school segregation in the U.S.\, but it is unclear how much families prioritize racial characteristics of school districts when they choose where to live. I analyze the relative importance neighborhood and school district characteristics on residential selection for households from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics between 1970 and 2015 using a discrete choice analysis. A post-estimation counterfactual simulation reveals the partial effects of micro sorting behaviors on macro segregation. I find that racial avoidance has played an increasingly prominent\, but always secondary\, role in segregation between districts since 1970\, with economic and housing characteristics adding little explanatory power. More than half of district segregation is explained by tendencies to stay or move to nearby neighborhoods without crossing district lines. District recirculation reinforces the inertia of historic racial exclusion at a large\, socially meaningful spatial scale.\n\nBIO:\nPeter Rich is a sociologist at Cornell University studying the intersection of structural inequality\, individual choice\, and public policy in the United States. His work primarily examines how micro sorting processes affect policies intending to expand opportunity to under-served populations. Peter's recent projects analyze spatial inequality between school districts\, the effect of charter school expansion on racial segregation\, trends in parental residential sorting during and after the era of school desegregation\, and the contextual origins of racial gaps in educational outcomes.\n\nPSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Dark Matter Searches in LZ and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:LZ will be the world's most sensitive dark matter direct detection experiment\, starting to take data in Spring 2020. The experiment is located 1 mi underground in the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead\, SD. LZ consists of a central time projection chamber (TPC) containing 7 tonnes of liquid xenon as dark matter target surrounded by an outer detector (OD) with 17 tonnes of gadolinium doped liquid scintillator to veto neutrons. I will highlight my group's research contributions to TPC assembly as well as to design and manufacturing of the OD. I will demonstrate how the equipment we built\, combined with my analysis and phenomenological experience\, will lead to most the sensitive searches including novel signatures. The use of active veto detectors has been adopted by all upcoming direct dark matter experiments and are indispensable to the future of the field. I will present status of my program to develop novel scintillating detectors including the first concepts for future veto detectors for the next generation of dark matter experiments.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cognitive Science Seminar: Task sets serve as boundaries for the congruency sequence effect
DESCRIPTION:Psychology PhD student Lauren Grant will present \"Task sets serve as boundaries for the congruency sequence effect.\" \n\nABSTRACT\n\nCognitive control processes that enable purposeful behavior are often context-specific. A teenager\, for example\, may inhibit the tendency to daydream at work but not in the classroom. However\, the nature of contextual boundaries for cognitive control processes remains unclear. We therefore revisited an ongoing controversy over whether such boundaries reflect (1) an attentional reset that occurs whenever a context-defining (e.g.\, sensory) feature changes or (2) a disruption of episodic memory retrieval that occurs only when the updated context-defining feature is linked to a different task set. To distinguish between these hypotheses\, we employed a cross-modal distractor-interference task to determine precisely when changing a salient context-defining feature – the sensory modality in which task stimuli appear – bounds control processes underlying the congruency sequence effect (CSE). Consistent with the task set hypothesis\, but not with the attentional reset hypothesis\, Experiments 1 and 2 revealed that changing the sensory modality in which task stimuli appear eliminates the CSE only when the task structure enables participants to form modality-specific task sets. Experiment 3 further revealed that such “modality-specific” CSEs are associated with orienting attention to the sensory modality in which task stimuli appear\, which may facilitate the formation of a modality-specific task set. These findings support the view that task sets serve as boundaries for the CSE.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | SUSY Searches with ATLAS and Potential Improvements from Track Triggers
DESCRIPTION:The lack of evidence for SUSY at the LHC motivates new search strategies such as looking for scenarios with small mass differences between SUSY particles.  However\, this can bring challenges because of lower momentum visible decay products.  SUSY searches with two leptons offer the possibility to use unique shapes in the invariant mass spectrum as an additional discriminant.  In this talk\, I will go through the details of ATLAS SUSY searches with two leptons\, and show some highlights of recent SUSY results.  Additionally\, I will discuss how track triggers can enhance the discovery reach of these searches\, focusing on the ATLAS Fast TracKer as an example along with its Phase-II counterpart.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance: Anti Insurance: The Perverse Targeting of Health Insurance
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nHealth insurance typically covers not only the small probability\, large loss events emphasized by theory but also routine services like regular checkups.  Usage of such services responds to liquidity shocks\; people cut back when times are tight\, such as during an unemployment spell.  As a result\, coverage of such services is least valuable in the states of the world in which marginal utility is greatest---an anti-insurance effect.  Whether the net effect of health insurance is to improve or worsen risk exposure depends on the insured's relative exposure to health versus non-health risks.  I find that for many U.S. households\, health insurance worsens risk exposure\; on average it targets states of the world in which marginal utility is relatively low.  This highlights an important cost of the many policies that subsidize health insurance or health care.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Innovation Seminar\, Auinash Kalsotra\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
DESCRIPTION:Auinash Kalsotra\, PhD\, Associate Professor of Biochemistry\, Affiliate\, Institute for Genomic Biology\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\n\nAbstract:  For many genes\, steady-state messenger (m)RNA levels provide an inaccurate reflection of the extent to which they are translated into proteins. This seminar will focus on post-transcriptional mechanisms that affect the “quality” and “quantity” of RNAs produced in a cell-type- and context-dependent manner. First\, I will describe the identification of a conserved developmentally regulated alternative splicing program that supports terminal differentiation\, functional competence\, and postnatal maturation of hepatocytes. Second\, I will show evidence that following liver injury\, this developmental splicing program is transiently re-activated to rewire a critical signaling pathway that enables proper liver regeneration. Third\, I will demonstrate that in severe alcoholic hepatitis\, the sustained re-activation of this developmental program causes hepatocytes to shed adult functions and become more regenerative but threatens overall survival by populating the liver with functionally-immature cells.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. Civil Rights as Patient Experience: How Healthcare Organizations Handle Complaints
DESCRIPTION:The non-discrimination clause of the Affordable Care Act\, known as Section 1557\, formally expanded patients’ civil rights in nearly every healthcare setting in the U.S. in 2010. Sex discrimination was a protected category for the first time in healthcare\, and the Obama administration interpreted sex discrimination to include transgender discrimination. Regulations required healthcare organizations to name a person to handle grievances and set up an internal grievance process for resolving them. Drawing on interviews with 58 healthcare grievance handlers in four U.S. states about how they process patient complaints\, this study examines how medical organizations have responded to expanded patient rights. What does it mean to bring civil rights into U.S. healthcare settings\, and what implications are there for transgender healthcare rights in particular? We found a range of approaches to rights in healthcare settings and a dominant approach devoted to patient experience that served to diminish the power of healthcare rights. The project also extends to health insurance problems and coverage for transgender care\, religious non-discrimination rules as competing values in healthcare settings\, and the Trump administration's efforts to undo the Obama efforts to advance transgender rights.\n\nBio: Anna Kirkland\, J.D.\, Ph.D.\, is an Arthur F.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 813 Seminar: Leia Stirling\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Wearable sensors provide opportunity to augment occupational therapy through telemedicine. However\, there are several design challenges embedded in creating an at-home telemonitoring system that can visualize the complex biomechanical data required for clinical decision making. These challenges include defining performance metrics that correspond to clinical needs and being able to robustly make these measures in a natural environment. In this talk\, we describe quantified metrics of motion coordination\, balance strategy\, and torso compensatory motions. These metrics were informed by clinical observations and were features monitored and synthesized to adapt the selected patient activities.\n\nLeia Stirling is an Associate Professor in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her research quantifies human performance and human-machine fluency to assess performance augmentation\, advance exoskeleton control algorithms\, mitigate injury risk\, and provide relevant feedback to subject matter experts across domains. She received her B.S. (2003) and M.S. (2005) in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and her Ph.D. (2008) in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT. She was a postdoctoral researcher at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School (2008-2009)\, on the Advanced Technology Team at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering (2009-2012)\, then an Assistant Professor at MIT (2013 – 2019). She joined the faculty at the University of Michigan in 2019.\n\n1123 LBME is room 1123 in the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Biomedical Engineering Building (LBME). The street address is 1101 Beal Avenue.

SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:LSA Honors #GivingBlueday
DESCRIPTION:Honors joins the university in participating in #GivingBlueday\, an annual opportunity for online giving. Donated funds benefit students involved in HELA - Honors in Engaged Liberal Arts (333462) as well as students applying for research and travel grants through the Strategic Fund (309547). \n\nFrom the Director's Letter in the 2019 Forum:\n\"Our new LSA Dean\, Anne Curzan\, emphasizes the importance of joy\, play\, and gratitude in our academic lives. Dean Curzan and I have known one another for twenty-one years — we both have our Ph.D.s from U-M and defended our dissertations just weeks apart — so maybe it’s no surprise that I share those commitments. In the Honors Program\, it’s easy to experience both joy and gratitude\, and as I begin my second term as Director\, going to campus every day feels more like getting to play than going to a job. Our students\, our staff\, our faculty\, and you\, our alums\, are the reason for it. \n\nPlay doesn’t mean a lack of seriousness. Our students\, in particular\, confront a world that is more competitive and more uncertain than that many of us faced at their age. (By “us” I mean those of us who need more than their fingers and toes to count the years since college graduation.) But it is exactly the younger generation’s creativity\, grit\, and innovativeness that move us\, too\, to be playful...The Honors Program both maintains its traditional strengths and builds new ways of focusing on our core values: intellectual curiosity and academic rigor. [Additional content at lsa.umich.edu/honors/news and in the 2019 Forum Vol. 23.]\n\nJoy and gratitude\, indeed. I feel it every day\, getting to work and play with our students\, the Honors staff\, our faculty and graduate instructors. And joy and gratitude to you\, as well\, our alums and friends\, who make so much of it possible. Thank you!\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. 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/

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WHITE HISTORY MONTH VOL. 1
DESCRIPTION:Mining 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 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. 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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. 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

SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium: Causes and consequences of social structure in male chimpanzees
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Among group-living animals\, social systems are expected to evolve via selection on individuals to maximize the benefits of group membership while minimizing the costs imposed by group mates.  When costs of group membership increase relative to benefits\, this can result in dramatic\, permanent changes to group composition via group fission events\, or more subtle changes to social structure. At the same time\, research in animal behavior is increasingly focused on the ways that the social environment influences individual behavior and fitness. I will discuss work using long-term data on chimpanzees in Gombe National Park\, Tanzania\, analyzing the precursors of unique community fission event\, as well as longitudinal changes to social network structure\, to better understand the costs and benefits of group membership among males. Additionally\, I will discuss the consequences of social structure on aggression between males as it relates to in-group biases in chimpanzees.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Central American Contexts Series.    From Coffee to Tourism: Grassroots Organizations and Returned Migrants Navigating Economic Shifts in Guatemala
DESCRIPTION:Much of the recent news coverage and scholarly attention on Central America has focused on reasons for migration including violence\, climate change\, and dismal economic conditions. Less common is a focus on the influence of returning migrants and the efforts of those attempting to remain. This lecture will showcase local responses in Guatemala to global economic trends\, in particular in the coffee and tourism industries. In contemporary Guatemala\, market fluctuations and disease have radically altered the structure of the coffee industry creating an opening for other raw products\, increasing migration\, and driving a shift towards a service economy. Part of this growing service economy is the tourism industry\, which is a site of political contention over national identity\, development\, culture\, the past and future. Using ethnographic data from a network of grassroots organizations in the Western Highlands of Guatemala\, this talk will discuss how local actors\, including former guerrillas\, coffee workers\, and returned migrants\, have used increased tourism for both economic and political ends. These experiences highlight the importance of transnational platform intermediaries that direct tourist flows\, opportunities for community-led development\, and the risks of a reliance on tourism.\n   \n   Eric Sippert is a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a Visiting Scholar with the University of Michigan Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. He is a student of Comparative Politics and Political Theory with research interests that are broadly located at the intersection of resistance\, globalization\, and development\, with a particular interest in Guatemala. Sippert's research aims to understand what types of political action (broadly understood) globalization engenders and what forms it takes. He uses ethnographic methods as well as network mapping to study how groups understand and interact with economic\, cultural\, and political transnational flows including\, but not limited to\, capital\, aid\, migration\, and tourism.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Overreach and Overreaction: The Crisis in U.S.-China Relations
DESCRIPTION:Relations between the United States and China today have become more competitive and tense than they have been during the past forty years since the 1979 normalization of diplomatic relations. The deterioration of relations has not been caused by a single incident but is systemic and broad. China’s international and domestic overreaching has provoked a widespread backlash not just in the United States\, but in many other advanced economies as well. Within the United States\, there is talk about protecting ourselves from the perceived China threat by decoupling our intertwined economies\, and Chinese and Chinese-Americans are starting to come under suspicion. How can the two countries stabilize relations and reverse this downward spiral? \n    \nSusan Shirk is the Chair of the 21st Century China Center and Research Professor at the School of Global Policy and Strategy at the University of California - San Diego. She is also director emeritus of the University of California’s Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC). Susan Shirk first visited China in 1971 and has been teaching\, researching and engaging China diplomatically ever since. \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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME Master's Defense: Akiho Suzuki
DESCRIPTION:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common gram-negative bacteria associated with severe infections in hospitals. In the U.S.\, there are 51\,000 P. aeruginosa infections\, and about 440 deaths occur each year. The common treatment method for the infection is antibiotics\, but antibiotic treatment has been becoming more and more challenging today due to the development of antibiotic resistance.\n\nAs a potential solution for this problem\, combination antibiotic therapy has been widely studied as a useful method to treat multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. The advantages of combination antibiotic therapy over monotherapy include not only prevention of development of resistance during therapy\, but also potential synergetic effect over the original potency of each of the antibiotics. Therefore\, combination antibiotics therapy may result in a more efficient treatment of P. aeruginosa in addition to preventing resistance development. However\, although some efforts have been made to investigate the best drug combinations to treat P. aeruginosa infections\, it is almost impossible to test combinations of every single type of existing antibiotic experimentally considering the time and cost.\n\nIn this project\, we used a machine learning software\, called INDIGO\, to predict drug interactions of antibiotic combinations against P. aeruginosa with a motivation to develop more effective treatments. INDIGO uses chemogenomics data and known experimental drug interaction scores to predict synergetic and antagonistic effects of new antibiotics combinations. We then assessed the accuracy of INDIGO performance by comparing the prediction results with the experimental data. INDIGO demonstrated high prediction accuracy for almost 200 new drug pairs with more than 40 different drugs. In the future\, the INDIGO algorithm will be applied to predict the effect of drug combinations on various drug-resistant strains of P. aeruginosa.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Double Feature - Observation of a Ferro-Rotational Order Coupled with Second-Order Nonlinear Optical Fields & Information Scrambling in Quantum Phases
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Drueke\nU-M Physics\n\nObservation of a Ferro-rotational Order Coupled with Second-order Nonlinear Optical Fields\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss our recent discovery of ferrorotational order in RbFe(MoO4)2. Classified by an order parameter which is an axial vector invariant under both time-reversal and spatial-inversion operations\, this order is closely related to a number of phenomena such as polar vortices\, giant magnetoelectric coupling and spin-helicity-driven ferroelectricity\, but it has received little attention so far. Here\, using high-sensitivity rotational-anisotropy second-harmonic generation\, we have exploited the electric quadrupole contribution to the second harmonic generation to directly couple to this centrosymmetric ferro-rotational order in an archetype of type-II multiferroics\, RbFe(MoO4)2. We found that two domain states with opposite ferro-rotational vectors emerge with distinct populations at the critical temperature Tc ≈ 195 K and gradually evolve to reach an even ratio at lower temperatures. Moreover\, we have identified the ferro-rotational order phase transition as weakly first order and have revealed its coupling field as a unique combination of the induced electric quadrupole second-harmonic generation and the incident fundamental electric fields.\n\n\nCeren Dag\nU-M Physics\n\nInformation Scrambling in Quantum Phases\n\nOut-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) are well-established tools for studying quantum chaos in quantum many-body systems as well as information properties of black holes. They characterize the information scrambling which is a dynamical phenomenon where both spatial and temporal correlations spread across a many-body system. Recently an unexpected relation between symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions and information scrambling has been numerically observed. We introduce a new theoretical tool to understand the reasons and the mechanism of this relation\, which makes the dynamical detection of long-range ordered quantum phases via OTOCs intuitive. Based on the studies in literature and our numerical results in the XXZ model\, our method renders the relation between information scrambling and quantum phase transitions universal.\n\nSpeaker Information: Ceren B. Dag is a graduate student in the Physics Department at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. She works towards her PhD thesis with Kai Sun and Luming Duan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Conversations on Europe. What’s Left of the Yellow Vest Movement
DESCRIPTION:The emergence of the yellow vests movement\, its rapid extension\, its endurance\, and its popularity have been a source of surprise and confusion among politicians as well as commentators. Whereas it was initially viewed as a mere reaction to an increase in fuel tax\, it soon appeared to be a broader protest against the policies led by Emmanuel Macron regarded as deepening economic inequalities. Instead of responding to the claim to more social justice\, the government first expressed contempt but soon used repression\, the violence of which caused hundreds of severely wounded. Characterized by a unique repertoire of action\, an unusual combination of social groups and a grassroots organization without clear leaders\, the mobilization challenged traditional forms of democratic representation. While it is too early to assess its long-term signification\, it has however revealed the resistance of the “classes populaires” to authoritarian neoliberalism. \n\nDidier Fassin is professor of social science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. A physician\, sociologist\, and anthropologist\, he has conducted research in various countries on issues related to inequality and immigration. His recent works are ethnographies of the police\, the justice system and the prison institution as well as on the idea of crisis. \n\nAnne-Claire Defossez is researcher in social sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. A sociologist\, she was previously a public manager heading the administration of two large cities in the Paris region. Her current work is about women’s participation in local politics and about the crisis of democratic representation in France. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to cesmichigan@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Functional MRI Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Title: A Dynamic Processing Model of Working Memory: Evidence from Behavior\, Neuroimaging\, and  Neurostimulation\n\nAbstract: Recent shifts in the understanding of how the mind and brain retain information in working memory (WM) call for revision to canonical theory. Evidence for the existence of dynamic\, “activity-silent” short-term retention processes in the brain diverge from traditional models that have argued that items in WM are retained by sustained representation in buffers or activated states. Such evidence comes from the use of machine-learning analytic approaches to decode patterns of brain activity and the simultaneous administration of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to causally manipulate brain activity in specific areas and time-points. TMS has been used to 'ping' brain areas and reactivate latent representations retained in WM and affect memory performance\, but only when the information is still relevant for the current trial. These findings argue for a supplement to the sustained retention mechanisms associated with attending to information in WM. Brain decoding methods reveal dynamic\, hierarchical levels of representation in WM that vary according to task context\, from perceptual/sensory codes in posterior areas to more conceptual/abstract codes distributed across frontal-parietal regions. A Dynamic Processing Model of WM is advanced to account for the overall pattern of results.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Navel of the Dream: Freud and/in Yiddish
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will explore the role of Yiddish in Freud's writings and in their translational afterlife. It will address the question not only about how much Yiddish Freud knew\, but also about why this question persists\, and what impulses and assumptions underlie it. In this regard\, it will lay out the parallels between the psychoanalytic archeology of the stratified psyche and the linguistic structure of the modern Jewish self\, recognizing this double structure in the hysteria and Yiddish translation work of Anna O./Bertha Pappenheim.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Arthur Sze Reading and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Arthur Sze is a poet\, translator\, and editor who recently won the National Book Award. He has published ten books of poetry\, including Sight Lines\, Compass Rose\, The Ginkgo Light\, Quipu\, The Redshifting Web: Poems 1970-1998\, and Archipelago\, all from Copper Canyon Press. He has also published The Silk Dragon: Translations from the Chinese and edited Chinese Writers on Writing. A bilingual Chinese/English selected poems\, Pig’s Heaven Inn\, was published in Beijing\, and he has also collaborated with sculptor Susan York to create a book and installation\, The Unfolding Center.\n \nKnown for his difficult\, meticulous poems\, Sze’s work has been described as the “intersection of Taoist contemplation\, Zen rock gardens and postmodern experimentation” by the critic John Tritica. The poet Dana Levin described Sze as “a poet of what I would call Deep Noticing\, a strong lineage in American poetry… Dispassionate presentation of ‘the thing itself’ is its prevailing attribute\, yet Sze’s attention is capacious\; it’s attracted to paradox\; it takes facing opponents and seats them side by side.” In addition\, K. Michel\, a Dutch poet writing for Poetry International says\, “Sze’s work is characterized by its unusual combination of images and ideas\, and by the surprising way in which he makes connections between diverse aspects of the world. In his poetry he combines images from urban life and nature\, ideas from modern astronomy and Chinese philosophy as well as anecdotes from rural and industrial America. In this way\, he creates texts that capture and reflect the complexity of reality.”\n \nSze’s many awards include The Jackson Poetry Prize from Poets & Writers\, a Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Writers’ Award\, a Lannan Literary Award\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, two National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing fellowships\, a Howard Foundation Fellowship\, and five grants from the Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry. From 2012-2017\, he served as a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets and\, in 2017\, was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is a professor emeritus at the Institute of American Indian Arts and lives in Santa Fe\, New Mexico.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Onsite book sales will be provided by Literati Bookstore. \n \nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. UMMA is pleased to be the site for most of these events. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64\, LLDHon ’13). For more information\, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Program webpage: https://lsa.umich.edu/writers \n \nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email asbates@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you.

SUMMARY:Well-being:CBT Group for Social and Performance Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:Registration is open for the University Psychological Clinic’s fall CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) group for adults with social or performance anxiety. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IISS Book Workshop Series. Book Workshop with Professor Alexander Knysh
DESCRIPTION:IISS is pleased to announce our first book workshop of the semester with Prof. Alexander Knysh on his most recent book Sufism: A New History of Islamic Mysticism. Prof. Knysh's new monograph explores the history and intellectual vicissitudes of Islamic mystical and philosophical thought in historical perspective. The distinctive aspect of the New History is a comparative element\, which is present in almost all of its six chapters: Muslim approaches to Sufism are compared with Orientalist ones\, while Sufi discourses are contrasted with Neoplatonic\, Jewish and Christian traditions. This groundbreaking monograph is critical not only for understanding the complex phenomenon that is Sufism\, but also for gaining insight into the significant methodological issues of modern historiography.

SUMMARY:Performance:Leif Vollebekk
DESCRIPTION:\"New Ways\" is a new album by Montreal’s Leif Vollebekk\, whose music has been described as inhabiting a space between Sigur Rós and Bob Dylan. Two years ago\, things were changing fast\, and the songwriter didn’t want to forget. \"I often think of Leonard Cohen’s line\, 'I hope you’re keeping some kind of record\,'\" Leif says. \"So I did.\" It was like he was pretending you can compose a soundtrack to your own life (which perhaps you can). In the end\, \"New Ways\" is a document of everything felt\, the way each moment arrived and moved through him. Whereas his Polaris Prize–winning \"Twin Solitude\" was about self-reflection\, \"New Ways\" is about engaging and changing\, touching and being touched. It’s a physical record\, with louder and tighter grooves\, and the rawest lyrics the musician has ever recorded. A portrait of beauty\, desire\, longing\, risk\, remembrance—without an instant of regret. \"She’s my woman and she loved me so fine\,\" goes the chorus to one tune. \"She’ll never be back.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Danielle Eubank is an award-winning artist who has been on four international sailing expeditions and painted every ocean on the planet to raise awareness about the oceans and climate change. Her large paintings are emotive abstract portraits of specific bodies of water. The Oil on Water exhibition features Eubank’s oil on linen paintings of the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. 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/

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WHITE HISTORY MONTH VOL. 1
DESCRIPTION:Mining 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 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. 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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. 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

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Change the Subject
DESCRIPTION:The documentary Change the Subject explores the ways that politics can enter a library catalog\, and shows what libraries can do about it. The film’s runtime is one hour\, but we trust that it will be thought provoking\, and so have allowed time afterward for discussion. We'll have coffee and desserts\, but feel free to bring your lunch.\n\nFrom the film’s producers:\n\nChange the Subject tells the story of a group of students at Dartmouth College\, who from their first days at Dartmouth\, were committed to advancing and promoting the rights and dignity of undocumented peoples. In partnership with staff at Dartmouth College\, these students—now alumni—produced a film to capture their singular effort at confronting an instance of anti-immigrant sentiment in their library catalog. Their advocacy took them all the way from Baker-Berry Library to the halls of Congress\, showing how an instance of campus activism entered the national spotlight\, and how a cataloging term became a flashpoint in the immigration debate on Capitol Hill.\n\nView the movie trailer at https://youtu.be/Ebphd5Rg6c8.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Brazil Initiative at LACS Event. Women\, Defiance\, and Brazilian History
DESCRIPTION:Brazil’s most famous historical icons—from the maroon warrior Dandara to President Dilma Rousseff—defied social expectations based on their gender\, race\, class\, sexuality\, and/or region. The constantly changing ways in which artists\, screenwriters\, journalists\, and intellectuals present Brazil’s most famous historical women reflect both tensions over the rights of women in contemporary society and the struggle to unite multiple narratives of Brazilian national identity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Campbell outlines the structure of this project and show how some key historical women have been represented and re-invented in art\, literature\, film\, and TV series. This exploratory paper asks the questions of how and why this group—in most cases the majority of the nation—is tied to the idea of nationhood and how their representation within media affects understandings of Brazilian history.\n\nDr. Courtney J. Campbell is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) of Latin American History at the University of Birmingham (UK). Her book\, *Region Out of Place: The Brazilian Northeast and the World* (1924-1968) is under contract with the University of Pittsburgh Press.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. \"Stalin's Master Narrative\": The General Secretary's Rewriting of Party History in the 1938 Short Course
DESCRIPTION:The Short Course on the History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) defined Stalinist ideology\, both at home and throughout the communist world abroad. It was quite literally the USSR’s master narrative between 1938 and 1956—a hegemonic statement on history\, politics\, and Marxism-Leninism that scripted Soviet society for a generation. Long rumored to have been ghostwritten by Stalin\, the Short Course has defied comprehensive critical analysis for the past 80 years\, despite the opening of the Soviet archives in 1991. Here\, David Brandenberger reveals for the first time the enormous role that Stalin played in the development of this all-important text. In so doing\, “Stalin’s Master Narrative” characterizes the unparalleled control that the dictator wielded over the Soviet historical imagination. \n\nDavid Brandenberger has written on Stalin-era propaganda\, ideology and nationalism in journals like *Russian Review*\, *Slavic Review*\, *Kritika\, Revolutionary Russia\, Nationality Papers\, Europe-Asia Studies\, Jahrbuecher fuer Geschichte Osteuropas\, Noveishaia istoriia Rossii *and *Voprosy istorii*. He has written or edited nine books including *National Bolshevism: Stalinist Mass Culture and the Formation of Modern Russian National Identity\, 1931-1956* (Harvard\, 2002)\; *Epic Revisionism: Russian History and Literature as Stalinist Propaganda\,* co-edited with Kevin M. F. Platt (Wisconsin\, 2006)\; *Propaganda State in Crisis: Soviet Ideology\, Indoctrination and Terror under Stalin\, 1928-1941* (Yale\, 2011)\; and *Stalin’s Master Narrative\,* co-edited with M. V. Zelenov (Yale\, 2019). He is presently writing a new book on Stalin's last political purge\, the 1949 Leningrad Affair\, and co-editing the purge-era diary of a high-ranking member of the USSR’s Politburo. \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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET SEMINAR | Extending the Double Copy
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss several recent papers on the double copy. In the first part of the talk I will recap work extending the classical double copy correspondence to maximally symmetric curved spacetimes. I will describe how to construct the corresponding single and zeroth copies in asymptotically (A)dS spacetimes in Kerr-Schild form\, and will clarify the interpretation of these copies using several examples\, pointing out some peculiar features. In the second part of the talk\, I will introduce Galileon fields\, and will discuss how to generalize and extend the procedure relating gauge and gravity theories through color-kinematics replacements by showing that the classical perturbative double copy of pions corresponds to special Galileons. I will also show how to construct the single copy by mapping the bi-adjoint scalar radiation to the non-linear sigma model radiation through generalized color-kinematics replacements. Finally\, if time permits\, I will introduce work studying the double copy beyond leading order.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Medieval Lunch. Architectural Representations in Late Medieval Donor Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Votive images of donors holding an architectural model appear in a variety of media spanning the entire Middle Ages. Although related to western European examples (examined by E. S. Klinkenberg in Compressed Meanings 2009\, among others)\, the church models in late medieval votive paintings in the Byzantine-Slavic cultural spheres offer new insights into the multiplicity of meanings and functions of such architectural representations. \n\nThis talk focuses on several case studies from regions of the Balkans and the Carpathians that reveal the varied systems of signification of church models as they appear in votive murals\, usually located in the naos of churches. These images show facets of the actual structures and the processes of decoration of the edifices. For example\, in the Moldavian context\, the church model is never shown with the rich exterior mural cycles that cover entirely the exterior of the churches. Instead\, the focus is on select architectural features and the symbolic functions of the edifice in its representational form. \n\nIn examining the iconographic details of these image types\, and in considering the multitude of their meanings and functions in their specific contexts of display\, I argue that such architectural representations were carefully calibrated to give visual expression to local concerns related to patronage\, salvation\, and memory\, as well as\, on a larger scale\, to the formation of new sacred landscapes in Eastern Europe for which Orthodox Christianity with its rich spatial and visual manifestations served as a defining force in the later medieval period.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Social Area Brown Bag Talk:  Do we know whom we can trust?  The psychology of trustworthiness detection
DESCRIPTION:Do humans have an intuitive understanding of whom they can trust? Research on the accuracy of trustworthiness detection abilities has produced mixed results. However\, most studies have limited themselves to trustworthiness detection from static photographs of strangers or short videotapes and ignored interactions between people that already know each other. Thus\, we investigated trustworthiness detection in situations that more closely resemble real-life trust interactions. In seven studies involving 580 participants and about 13.000 individual trust game interactions we found that trustworthiness detection was inaccurate among strangers either after watching short video-clips of potential trustees or after short personal interactions during a group task with potential trustees. In contrast\, trustworthiness estimates were better than chance among already acquainted participants. Furthermore\, we found evidence that people successfully use the relationship quality they have with a potential trustee as a “fast and frugal heuristic” when estimating another person’s trustworthiness.

For the past several years\, Civic Learning\, Engagement\, and Action Data Sharing (CivicLEADS) at ICPSR has been helping researchers share and access high-quality datasets to study civic education and involvement. This free webinar provides information on the collection of publicly-available data archived at CivicLEADS.org as well as use cases of how other researchers are using our resources. As a webinar participant\, you will:\n\n• Learn about CivicLEADS and how to access the data and tools the project provides\;\n• See clear examples of how the tools and resources of CivicLEADS can facilitate and further your own research\; and\n• Provide feedback to CivicLEADS’s staff on how the project can better support your work.\n\nWhile CivicLEADS is a resource for all civic education\, engagement\, and action researchers\, early career researchers and graduate students may find this webinar particularly useful.\n\nDid you miss this event?

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Elizabeth Tacke Practice Job Talk
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Tacke\nPhD English and Education Student\n\nPractice Job Talk\nWednesday\, December 4\, 1-2:30 in Angell Hall 3222\n \nNegotiating Precarious Affects: Anger\, Humor\, and Disability Disclosure\n \nEvery day\, individuals must navigate how\, when\, and to what extent they disclose disability\, because doing so is a risky act\, laden with consequences. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Speaking American English
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\n\nThe workshop will run from October 16 to December 18\, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | The Schwinger Plasma: An Experimental Program to Study the Plasmas That Exist Inside the Vacuum
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe most fundamental plasma is the quantum vacuum\, but it remains largely inaccessible to experiments because of the energy scales involved. The minimum temperature required to “ionize” the vacuum is equivalent to the mass of an electron-positron pair\, 1 MeV\, or about 10^10K. One way to imagine creating an e^+e^- plasma out of “nothing” is through tunnel ionization of the vacuum by a laser\; but simple scaling shows that the in-tensity required to reach the tunneling threshold must be more than 10^29 W/cm^2\, which has been called the “Schwinger threshold”. This talk will introduce the experimental methods we will use to reach this regime\, and what we might expect to find.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nPhil Bucksbaum is the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor at Stanford University\, with appointments in Physics\, Applied Physics\, and in Photon Science at SLAC. He also founded and directed the Stanford PULSE Institute (ultrafast.stanford.edu). He studies the interaction of intense coherent radiation with atoms and molecules\, with emphasis on interactions induced by attosecond pulsed radiation and ultrashort x-ray lasers. Prior to Stanford\, Bucksbaum was on the faculty at U. of Michigan\, and on the research staff at Bell Laboratories. He received MA and PhD degrees in Physics from U. of California at Berkeley\, and his AB degree in Physics\, magna cum laude from Harvard College.  He is Fellow of the American Physical Society and Optical Society of America and elected to the National Academy of Sciences and American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was president of OSA in 2014 and is president-elect APS\, where he will serve as president in 2020.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Author's Forum Presents: \"The Center of the World: Regional Writing and the Puzzles of Place-Time\"
DESCRIPTION:June Howard (English\, American culture\, women's studies) and Joshua Miller (English\, Judaic studies) discuss Howard's latest book\, followed by Q & A. \n\n*Regional Writing and the Puzzles of Place-Time* is a study of literary regionalism. It focuses on the fiction of the United States and considers the place of the genre in world literature. Regionalism is usually understood to be a literature bound to the local\, but this study explores how regional writing shapes ways of imagining not only the neighborhood or the province\, but also the nation\, and ultimately the world. Its key premise is that thinking about place always entails imagining time. It analyzes how concepts crystallize across disciplines and in everyday discourse and proposes ways of revising American literary history and close readings of particular authors' work. It demonstrates\, for example\, the importance of the figure of the school-teacher and the one-room schoolhouse in local color and subsequent place-focused writing. Such representations embody the contested relation in modernity between localities and the knowledge they produce\, and books that carry metropolitan and cosmopolitan learning. The volume discusses fiction from the nineteenth\, twentieth\, and twenty-first centuries\, including works by Sui Sin Far/Edith Eaton\, Sarah Orne Jewett\, Ernest Gaines\, Wendell Berry\, and Ursula LeGuin as well as romance novels and regional mysteries.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Controlling Dissipation in Superconductors: \nthe Oxymoron that Leads to New Superconducting Phases and Transitions\n
DESCRIPTION:Superconductors are exciting materials for basic physics and applications because they conventionally exhibit zero-resistance and zero-dissipation (i.e.\, no energy loss). However\, unconventional superconductors—including high-temperature superconductors and hybrid superconductor-normal (S-N) systems relevant to quantum computation—combine superconductivity with dissipative normal metal-like states. Yet dissipation has been difficult to control and parametrize. In this talk\, I will discuss electrical transport experiments on hybrid superconductor-normal metal systems where the dissipation is controlled\, leading to new understanding of superconducting states and transitions. In particular\, I will show how superconductivity is established in granular S-N systems\, how metallic states appear in arrays of S-N systems as the normal metal fraction is increased\, and how magnetic fields can be used to control a variety of dissipative phase transitions. The results are relevant to understanding the role of dissipation in superconducting systems\, and in correlated materials in general.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. 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.

DESCRIPTION:This exhibit of Steve Wirtz’ sculptures features a selection of his Dynamic Football series and animal works.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ваза: Copper & Brass Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine\, a part of the former Soviet Union. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. 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/

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WHITE HISTORY MONTH VOL. 1
DESCRIPTION:Mining 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 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dragon-Slaying Takes Time: The Complex Process of Ending Gerrymandering After the Passage of Proposition 2
DESCRIPTION:In 2018 Michigan made history with its 61% vote for an Independent Redistricting Commission to end the gerrymandering that caused legislative district boundaries to serve partisan interests.  But much remains to be done. The speaker will review the problem of gerrymandering and the amendment in Proposition 2 designed to stop it.  He will also discuss the implementation of the provisions in Proposition 2\, including the impact of recent lawsuits challenging them\, how the new citizen redistricting commission will operate and why every OLLI member should apply to be in the pool of citizens from which its membership will be drawn.\n\nKevin Deegan-Krause is Associate Professor of Political Science at Wayne State University in Detroit. His research focuses on political parties\, and he is currently completing a book on new political parties in Europe.  His community engagement focuses on local governance\, and he has served on Ferndale’s library and school boards.  His professional and civic interests intersect in his active volunteering for Voters Not Politicians which in 2018 ensured the passage of Proposition 2 against gerrymandering.\n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Voting in America: Perennial Issues\, Current Developments. The next lecture will be December 12\, 2019. The title is: Race\, the Party System\, and Elite Incentives in American Elections

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Literature in Fragments: Lost Greek Works at Michigan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents a selection of such fragmentary literary texts from the University of Michigan’s Papyrology Collection. Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ph. D. Defense: Caymen Novak
DESCRIPTION:Cells within the body experience a wide range of dynamic mechanical stimuli. These stimuli are exacerbated in cancers and can alter the progression of the disease. As the tumor grows and expands it displaces the surrounding matrix and cell environment creating internal compressive forces and altering interstitial and vascular blood flow thereby enhancing shear stress exposure. How the cells translate this mechano-environment into downstream signaling is known as mechanotransduction. Though preliminary research has touched on the influence physiological mechanical stimulus can have on cancer progression\, the work remains erratic and lacks understanding of cell metastasis\, gene expression\, proliferation\, and chemotherapeutic response. In order to address this unknown effect on cellular phenotypes and treatment response\, two bioreactors capable of tunable three-dimensional stimulus with either shear stress or compressive forces were developed. Breast and ovarian cancer cells were exposed to physiological stimuli and studied for invasive potential\, altered gene expression\, proliferation\, and chemotherapeutic response. Overall\, findings suggest that this dynamic mechanical environment aids in the advancement of cancer migration\, proliferation\, and chemoresistance which may be mitigated by targeting of various mechanotransduction pathways. The bioreactors constructed and utilized for this study provide 3D platforms ideal for understanding the influence of compressive and shear stress stimulus on cellular behavior\, a critical component to our understanding and improvement of cancer patient treatments.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. 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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. 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

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nIn landscapes around the world\, humans and wildlife are mutually adapting to each other\, creating dynamic feedbacks that\, if overlooked\, limit the effectiveness of conservation policies. Mechanistic social-ecological systems (SES) modeling has a high potential to overcome this limitation. To illustrate the utility of mechanistic SES modeling to wildlife conservation\, I present findings from two interrelated agent-based models of human-wildlife interactions. The first model investigates the effects of human disturbance (prey depletion\, road infrastructure) on the globally endangered tiger (Panthera tigris) in an isolated protected area in Nepal. The second model investigates human-wildlife conflict\, such as crop raiding and livestock depredation\, along a simulated interface of wild and agricultural lands. Unanticipated model outcomes provide crucial insights on ways to improve conservation strategies in shared landscapes. By simulating both ecological processes and human decision making\, multi-model approaches foster transferability of gained insights to other contexts and case studies that prevail in the Anthropocene.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Futurity and the Transhuman in Millennial Japan: The Case of Picturebooks
DESCRIPTION:This talk looks to an unexpected avant-garde—picturebooks—for visions of possibility in millennial Japan. In particular it explores how two illustrator-auteurs\, Miroco Machiko (b. 1981) and Arai Ryōji (b. 1956)\, de-center the human to picture forth a fecund\, transhuman multiverse. Both artists operate within a strong postwar tradition of picturebook art\, which derives a sense of freedom from its association with youth and play. Here style\, far from being merely decorative\, shapes our worlds and the possibilities we see in them.\n   \nHeather Blair is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Indiana University. Her research focuses on lay religiosity and questions of how visual culture and religion intersect in Japan. Her publications include Real and Imagined: The Peak of Gold in Heian Japan (2015) and articles in venues such as Monumenta Nipponica\, Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies\, and Japanese Journal of Religious Studies. She is currently working on a monograph with the provisional title The Gods Make You Giggle: Finding Religion in Japanese Picturebooks.\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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reading the Romantics
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the second discussion of our Fall 2016 reading series called Reading the Romantics.\n\nWe will meet 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\nThe chapter focuses on Shelley’s Alastor and some of the Wordsworth poems that influenced it — mostly the Lucy poems and The Ruined Cottage — in order to further Rajan’s larger claim about a Romantic ’narrativity’ that is\, for her\, separate from the novelistic\, chronological plot structure (although not always excluded from it) and characterized by a certain openness\, “worklessness\,” and a “constant process of unmaking” that allows Shelley and other Romantic authors to oscillate between poetry and prose.\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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Translating from Yiddish: New Approaches in Theory and Practice
DESCRIPTION:What unique challenges confront the translator from Yiddish into another language? How is Yiddish translation affected by phenomena such as the rise of Zionism\, the Holocaust\, and changing relations between American Jews and the immigrant experience? How do we choose what and for whom to translate? How and why do writers translate their own work? Scholars and translators on this panel will grapple with these issues\, while raising broader questions about the theory and practice of translation from any language. Examples from current translations-in-progress will be offered.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Arthur Sze Roundtable Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Arthur Sze is a poet\, translator\, and editor who recently won the National Book Award. He has published ten books of poetry\, including Sight Lines\, Compass Rose\, The Ginkgo Light\, Quipu\, The Redshifting Web: Poems 1970-1998\, and Archipelago\, all from Copper Canyon Press. He has also published The Silk Dragon: Translations from the Chinese and edited Chinese Writers on Writing. A bilingual Chinese/English selected poems\, Pig’s Heaven Inn\, was published in Beijing\, and he has also collaborated with sculptor Susan York to create a book and installation\, The Unfolding Center.\n \nKnown for his difficult\, meticulous poems\, Sze’s work has been described as the “intersection of Taoist contemplation\, Zen rock gardens and postmodern experimentation” by the critic John Tritica. The poet Dana Levin described Sze as “a poet of what I would call Deep Noticing\, a strong lineage in American poetry… Dispassionate presentation of ‘the thing itself’ is its prevailing attribute\, yet Sze’s attention is capacious\; it’s attracted to paradox\; it takes facing opponents and seats them side by side.” In addition\, K. Michel\, a Dutch poet writing for Poetry International says\, “Sze’s work is characterized by its unusual combination of images and ideas\, and by the surprising way in which he makes connections between diverse aspects of the world.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The Love\, Lure\, and Lore of the Clothesline
DESCRIPTION:The first session of this course for those 50 and over will help to revive memories of simpler times when laundry was always hung to dry outdoors -- when folks went “online” without the Internet! There will be washday history\, sociological issues of ethnic stereotypes in the laundry industry\, the role of feminism\, industrialization\, culture\, and ecology. Instructor Anne Lawrence will share laundry poetry\, personal stories\, and the opportunity to consider the clothesline in ways never before appreciated. The second session will illustrate how artists and photographers have captured the beauty of the clothesline in a wide variety of ways\, and how the routine of hanging laundry out to dry sets minds free to create. \n\nInstructor Lawrence has been a clothesline historian and hobbyist for over 30 years.

SUMMARY:Presentation:AE Chair's Distinguished Lecture Series: Smart Decision-Making for Energy Efficient and Sustainable Autonomous Systems in Space Missions
DESCRIPTION:Ran Dai \nNetjets Assistant Professor\nThe Ohio State University\nMechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department\n\nMany autonomous systems in space missions benefit from prolonged operational time and efficient operations in a variety of long-duration missions\, ranging from low-earth orbiting to interplanetary space exploration. Due to limited propellant\, dynamic operating environments\, complex system behaviors\, and strict mission constraints\, it is challenging to realize full autonomy with capabilities of sustained power supply and fuel efficient operations. Without human intervention\, real-time decision-making\, including both motion planning and logic/reasoning decisions\, plays a critical role in assuring the reliability and performance of such a system toward accomplishing the mission objectives.\n\nThis talk will present our work on developing sophisticated modeling approach\, scalable optimization algorithms\, and machine learning based optimal control method that collectively contribute to advanced decision-making strategies for efficient and sustainable autonomous systems in space missions. Applications in two types of autonomous systems will be discussed. One focuses on space vehicles in complex missions involving multiphase or hybrid operations where onboard propellant is limited and timely ground support is unavailable. The other type of application is solar-powered rover that harvests energy from the environment and charges the storage batteries as backup to realize sustainable operations. The overall objective of smart decision-making for both types of autonomous systems is to realize high-level efficiency in fuel utilization or energy harvesting under dynamic environments\, complex operations\, and mission constraints. \n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nRan Dai is the Netjets Assistant Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at The Ohio State University. She received her B.S. degree in Automation Science from Beihang University and her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Aerospace Engineering from Auburn University. After graduation\, she worked as an engineer in an automotive technology company\, Dynamic Research\, Inc.\, and conducted research and consulting in the areas of semi-autonomous vehicle guidance and control. From 2010 to 2012\, Dr. Dai joined the Robotics\, Aerospace\, and Information Networks Lab at University of Washington as a postdoctoral fellow\, where she involved in an energy management project with application to the next generation of Boeing 787 aircraft power systems. Dr. Dai’s research focuses on control and optimization of autonomous systems\, motion planning and estimation of space vehicles\, and networked dynamical systems. She is a recipient of the National Science Foundation Career Award and NASA Early Faculty Career Award.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Communication and Media Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:With this presentation\, I explicate the possibilities of synthesizing theories and methods from the disciplines of feminism\, critical race\, media studies\, anthropology\, among others in putting forth a critical study of intersectional technoculture. Through ethnographic examples\, I demarcate a framework for studying the intersectional development of technological artifacts and systems—a research program that aims at contributing to a greater understanding of the cultural production and social processes involved in digital and technological culture. Using gaming as the glue that binds this project\, I put forth intersectional tech as a framework to make sense of the visual\, textual\, and oral engagements of marginalized users\, exploring the complexities in which they create\, produce\, and sustain their practices. Gaming\, as a medium often outside conversations on Blackness and digital praxis\, is one that is becoming more visible\, viable\, and legible in making sense of Black technoculture. Intersectional tech implores us to make visible the force of discursive practices that position practices within (dis)orderly social hierarchies and arrangements. The explicit formulations of the normative order are sometimes in disagreement with the concrete human condition as well as inconsistent with the consumption and production practices that constitute Black digital labor. It is\, in fact\, these practices that inform the theoretical underpinnings of Black performances\, cultural production\, exploited labor\, and resistance strategies inside oppressive technological structures that Black users reside. \nEngaging intersectionality across transmediated platforms reveals a significant moment of critiquing narratives\, creating content\, and controlling narratives. The aftermath of Mike Brown’s death in 2014\, for instance\, revealed the power of this innovative engagement that the once-invisible could now actively engage\, participate\, and produce content in hypervisible ways. In the context of #BlackLivesMatter\, the combination of the textual and the visual ignited not only a movement\, but a proclamation of reclaiming narratives and identities across media and platforms - from #BlackLivesMatter to Black-ish to “The Breakfast Club.” It is important to examine the everydayness of mediated\, intersectional\, counterpublics to examine Black oral\, visual\, and textual culture in digital spaces and how this manifests within gaming culture. The transmediated nature of contemporary gaming communities affords the possibility of reframing traditional narratives\, controlling and producing content\, sustaining Black cultural production.\n\nDr. Kishonna L. Gray (@kishonnagray) is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication and Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Illinois – Chicago. She is also a faculty associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. She also previously served as a MLK Scholar and Visiting Professor in Women and Gender Studies and Comparative Media Studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).\n\nDr. Gray is an interdisciplinary\, intersectional\, digital media scholar and digital herstorian whose areas of research include identity\, performance and online environments\, embodied deviance\, cultural production\, video games\, and Black Cyberfeminism.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar: Phenotypic plasticity\, gene expression\, and the biological response to climate change
DESCRIPTION:The climate of the earth is becoming hotter and less predictable\, and the fitness of organisms is increasingly linked to traits important for performance in a changing climate. Understanding the relative roles of phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary adaptation as responses to climate change is crucial\, as phenotypic plasticity is more rapid than evolutionary adaptation\, and can either facilitate or constrain evolutionary adaptation. Crucially\, for certain taxa like tropical forest lizards\, previous long-term climate stability of the tropics may have eroded both genetic variation and capacity for phenotypic plasticity necessary for survival under rapid environmental change. We are testing how denizens of tropical forests can respond to climate change by 1) studying physiological and phenotypic plasticity of a thermoconforming forest lizard\, and 2) transplanting these lizards onto islands in the Panama Canal. These islands are hotter and more variable than the mainland rainforests of the source populations. On experimental islands\, we are measuring selection (viability and fecundity) on thermal physiological traits\, measuring plasticity and gene expression in response to thermal change\, and identifying genomic regions that are important for thermal adaptation. Ultimately\, our research can help parse the relative roles of phenotypic plasticity\, genomic adaptation\, and their interaction during the biological response to climate change.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/axBZDqu68EM

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: The Pen and a Sea of Pearls: Decolonizing Contemporary Historical Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:A racist assumption powerfully shapes many history books today: the idea that European knowledge traditions and Enlightenment sciences are superior to the epistemologies of the peoples once colonized by European empires. In this lecture Professor Khatun will explore methodologies of historical storytelling that seek to decolonize contemporary knowledge production about the past. Reading Bengali-language narratives of popular history that have enjoyed oral dissemination throughout the Bengal delta and sometimes across an Indian Ocean realm\, Professor Khatun will show that we can use colonized peoples’ historiographical traditions as keys that offer escape from the prison house of colonial-modern thought.\n\nDr. Samia Khatun is a writer\, filmmaker and cultural historian whose documentaries have screened on national broadcasters SBS-TV and ABC-TV in Australia. She was born in Dhaka\, educated in Sydney and has held research fellowships in Berlin\, Dunedin\, New York and Melbourne. Her first book\, Australianama: The South Asian Odyssey in Australia was published in December 2018 and was shortlisted for the Ernst Scott Prize for History. She is currently embarking on a new project about the spinners and weavers of eighteenth-century Dhaka. In September 2019\, Samia will be taking up the position of Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Gender Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)\, University of London.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nPresented in partnership with the Center for South Asian Studies. This event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Arthur Sze: In Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Arthur Sze is a poet\, translator\, and editor who recently won the National Book Award. He has published ten books of poetry\, including Sight Lines\, Compass Rose\, The Ginkgo Light\, Quipu\, The Redshifting Web: Poems 1970-1998\, and Archipelago\, all from Copper Canyon Press. He has also published The Silk Dragon: Translations from the Chinese and edited Chinese Writers on Writing. A bilingual Chinese/English selected poems\, Pig’s Heaven Inn\, was published in Beijing\, and he has also collaborated with sculptor Susan York to create a book and installation\, The Unfolding Center.\n \nKnown for his difficult\, meticulous poems\, Sze’s work has been described as the “intersection of Taoist contemplation\, Zen rock gardens and postmodern experimentation” by the critic John Tritica. The poet Dana Levin described Sze as “a poet of what I would call Deep Noticing\, a strong lineage in American poetry… Dispassionate presentation of ‘the thing itself’ is its prevailing attribute\, yet Sze’s attention is capacious\; it’s attracted to paradox\; it takes facing opponents and seats them side by side.” In addition\, K. Michel\, a Dutch poet writing for Poetry International says\, “Sze’s work is characterized by its unusual combination of images and ideas\, and by the surprising way in which he makes connections between diverse aspects of the world. In his poetry he combines images from urban life and nature\, ideas from modern astronomy and Chinese philosophy as well as anecdotes from rural and industrial America. In this way\, he creates texts that capture and reflect the complexity of reality.”\n \nSze’s many awards include The Jackson Poetry Prize from Poets & Writers\, a Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Writers’ Award\, a Lannan Literary Award\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, two National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing fellowships\, a Howard Foundation Fellowship\, and five grants from the Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry. From 2012-2017\, he served as a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets and\, in 2017\, was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is a professor emeritus at the Institute of American Indian Arts and lives in Santa Fe\, New Mexico.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Onsite book sales will be provided by Literati Bookstore. \n \nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. UMMA is pleased to be the site for most of these events. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64\, LLDHon ’13). For more information\, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Program webpage: https://lsa.umich.edu/writers \n \nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email asbates@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:China Ongoing Perspectives Series: Soul of a Banquet
DESCRIPTION:The screening of the next entry in the China Ongoing Perspectives (CHOP) film series\, Soul of a Banquet\, will be followed by a Q&A with Sean Chen\, cultural historian of Chinese foodways.\n\nIn his 2014 documentary film Soul of a Banquet\, Director Wayne Wang (The Joy Luck Club) takes us into the world of Cecilia Chiang\, the woman who introduced America to authentic Chinese food. Chiang opened her internationally renowned restaurant The Mandarin in 1961 in San Francisco and went on to change the course of cuisine in America. The film is equal parts a delectable showcase of gastronomy and a touching portrait of Chiang’s journey from a childhood in Beijing before the Cultural Revolution to a career as an accidental restaurateur on the west coast of the United States. Soul of a Banquet features interviews with Alice Waters\, Ruth Reichl\, and Cecilia Chiang herself.\n\nSean Jy-Shyang Chen is the translator and annotator of the seminal Qing Dynasty manual on cookery: Recipes from the Garden of Contentment (Suiyuan Shidan\, 隨緣食單)\, which provides technical details on ingredients and culinary techniques crucial for understanding the 18th century work. Sean holds a doctorate in biomedical engineering from McGill University and is a senior research engineer for computer vision and machine learning in medicine.\n\nCHOP is a curated series of documentary films that view greater China through the eyes of overseas Chinese\, immigrants and travelers\, focusing particularly on slices of life related to transitional/transcultural events and memories. The series is co-presented by the Asia Library and the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Business of Becoming Citizens: Chinese Immigrants\, Cuisine\, and Restaurants from Exclusion to Inclusion in the United States\, 1870-1919
DESCRIPTION:Today there are more Chinese restaurants in the United States than the combined total of McDonald’s\, Burger King’s\, Wendy’s\, and KFC chains. This talk tells the history of Chinese restaurants against the backdrop of intense racial discrimination and civic exclusion. Chinese immigrants held the unfortunate distinction of being the first—and for many years only—population of voluntary migrants restricted from entering the country and denied a pathway to citizenship. Between the end of Radical Reconstruction and World War II\, Chinese immigrants seized political power and shifted their economic\, legal\, and cultural positions through food. The talks centers on a handful of Chinese immigrants who strategically and purposefully built bridges of understanding with the wider U.S. population\, and leveraged this acceptance to negotiate an immense legal apparatus. This is a story of the resilience of racialized immigrants who managed to become tastemakers\, despite the weight of state-sanctioned oppression.\n\nRefreshments will be provided. Please RSVP for food: https://forms.gle/jMh25aUFXCLbjUyc9\n\nHeather Ruth Lee is an Assistant Professor of History at NYU Shanghai. As a scholar and educator\, she wrestles with the importance of legal immigration status—the bright line separating citizens from both documented and undocumented migrants—to the history of race and ethnicity in the United States. Her first book\, The Business of Becoming Citizens: Chinese Immigrants\, Cuisine\, and Restaurants from Exclusion to Inclusion in the United States\, 1870-1943 tells the history of Chinese restaurants against the backdrop of intense racial discrimination and civic exclusion. Alongside the book\, Professor Lee has been working on the “Chinese Restaurant Database Project” (www.eatingglobally.com)\, an original data source on historical Chinese business operations\, migration strategies and demographic information. Her research has been featured in NPR’s All Things Considered\, The Salt\, The Atlantic\, Chicago Tribune\, and Gastropod\, a podcast on food science and history. Professor Lee has advised and curated exhibitions at the New York Historical Society\, the National Museum of American History\, the Museum of Chinese in America\, and elsewhere.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Arab American National Museum and CMENAS Film Screening. Flesh Out
DESCRIPTION:In keeping with the traditions of her Mauritanian home\, the announcement of Verida’s impending arranged marriage brings with it the beginning of gavage—the ritual of over-eating in order to attain a fuller figure more desirable to her future husband. As the obedient daughter of two loving parents\, Verida at first accepts the intense physical strain of gavage with little resistance. But as the ritual’s requirements become increasingly all-consuming\, Verida feels her resistance to the intense expectations of both her mother and culture push toward a breaking point. \n    \nDirector Michela Occhipinti’s narrative feature debut\, Flesh Out (2019) is an intensely resonant look at one woman’s struggle to find an identity for herself outside of the suffocating pressure to conform. \n    \nDir. Michela Occhipinti \n2019/Mauritania\, Italy/94 minutes \nHassaniya with English Subtitles \n    \nLight refreshments will following the screening. \n\n-----\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Grapes of Wrath
DESCRIPTION:A sweeping epic of the American experience\nAdapted by Frank Galati\nBased on the novel by John Steinbeck\nDirected by Gillian Eaton\n\nJohn Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Grapes of Wrath comes to the stage in a brilliant and faithful adaptation by Frank Galati. Forced from their home in the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma\, the Joad family piles its few possessions on a battered old truck and heads west for California\, hoping to find work and a better life. Faced instead with intolerance and exploitation\, the Joads suffer death and deprivation as they struggle to find their place in the world. Despite the anguish it depicts\, the play is ultimately a soaring and deeply moving affirmation of the indomitability of the human spirit. \n\nOriginally premiered at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago\, Galati’s adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath transferred to both the West End and Broadway to critical acclaim. The play was nominated for eight Tony Awards in 1990\, winning for Best Direction and Best Play. Steinbeck’s 1939 novel was based on the author’s own experiences living and traveling with migrants from the Dust Bowl. The fictional Joads represent the tens of thousands of Americans who\, forced into similar circumstances by the confluence of climate change and poverty\, fought to preserve their humanity in the face of the vast inequities of the American experience.

SUMMARY:Performance:Over the Rhine
DESCRIPTION:On our 2019 tour\, we will be leaning into three-part harmonies and making an intimate but hopefully holy ruckus. It won’t be all Christmas music: we’ll certainly mix in tunes from many of our records along the way. But hopefully it’s still true\; that you haven’t heard anything quite like it.
