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

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

Such imperial systems were durable\, ruling over vast territories for long durations of time. The Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire\, for example\, each lasted for almost 700 years\, the Mongols and Comanche Empires for about two centuries\, while some have argued the Chinese Empire endured for well over 4\,000 years. All empires faced resistance and rebellion in some form and to some degree.\n\nImperial systems and those who have opposed\, resisted\, and rebelled against imperial power\, politics\, and culture have played a long and important role in global history. Given how important empires\, decolonization\, and independence movements have been\, it is not surprising that we have a rich historical\, literary and artistic heritage that captures the impact empires and liberation from imperial control has had on individuals\, peoples\, communities\, and the world.\n\nThe World History and Literature Initiative’s (WHaLI) three-day conference for secondary teachers will focus on these issues using examples drawn from different historical times and areas of the world. In addition to helping teachers develop their knowledge and understanding of this Empires\, imperial practices\, independence movements and decolonization in world history and literature\, the conference also illuminates challenges students face in learning such content and explores ways teachers might meet those challenges. WHaLI conference provides participants with relevant resources as well as lunch and refreshments. This year we will meet on December 6 (Friday)\, December 7 (Saturday) and December 14 (Saturday).\n\nRegistration: https://payments.lsa.umich.edu/whali/ UID:64242-16260522@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64242 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:International LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191122T104619 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T143000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Forum on Defense and Diplomacy in Afghanistan DESCRIPTION:This forum will engage policymakers\, military officials\, academic experts\, diplomats and other thought leaders to examine challenges and opportunities at the intersection of defense and diplomacy during this crucial transitional period in Afghanistan. It will feature three public panels and a pair of keynote sessions\, as well as a smaller\, closed-door academic workshop in the afternoon. The conversation will be wide- ranging but will focus on a few major themes: \n\n● Recalibrating in defense and diplomacy. How should the roles and responsibilities of U.S. allied military forces and resident diplomats evolve to reflect the changing political conditions in Afghanistan? \n\n● Keeping the peace. What types of diplomatic arrangements will be necessary to help maintain any cease-fire between the Afghan government and the Taliban and help promote a lasting peace? What form of U.S. and/or international military engagement will be appropriate in that context? \n\n● Promoting democracy\, development and the rule of law. What priorities should the international community set for domestic developments in Afghanistan looking forward? How might a political transition in Afghanistan challenge democratic governance\, inclusive development\, human rights and the rule of law? What tools are available to meet these challenges and seize opportunities?\n\nFor the event agenda please visit: https://umich.box.com/s/e637svug67s6ewxu4v9eunm3jp8cm3s6 UID:69715-17390844@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69715 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Afghanistan,Defense,Diplomacy,international policy,international relations,Public Policy,Weiser Diplomacy Center LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190823T100616 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T160000 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/ UID:63992-16059427@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190724T155824 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T120000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Group Facilitation Training DESCRIPTION:Do you want to brush up on your facilitation skills so that you can feel comfortable leading one of OLLI’s many fine courses?

Even though they might all go out for a “Chinese” meal\, there is little uniformity to what arrives on their plates\, in their bowls\, or at the tips of their chopsticks or forks. In Germany\, “Chinese” food could mean ribs in hoisin sauce\, served with pickled cucumbers\; in India\, deep-fried vegan cauliflower\; and in South Korea\, sweet brown sauce on a plate of beef noodles. What do these diverse examples tell about the nature of Chinese food? How does a global perspective deepen our understanding of culinary authenticity and heritage? These questions will be the focus of Global Chinese Food. The conference will bring scholars of Asian American\, African\, Chinese Studies\, Latin American\, and Japanese into a wide-ranging and exciting conversation. The conference is free and open to the public. \n\nOrganized by Professor Miranda Brown (@Dong_Muda)\, Asian Languages and Cultures.\n\nThis conference is sponsored by Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies with additional support provided by the Departments of History\, American Culture\, Asian Languages and Culture\; the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; the Institute for Humanities\; the Confucius Institute\; Office of Research\; and the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.

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

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

These considerations are particularly relevant in many developing countries’ education systems where private schools capture high market shares while public schools are overcrowded. We study the equilibrium effects of public provision in the context of a large expansion of public schools in the Dominican Republic. Over a five-year period\, the government aimed to increase the number of public school classrooms by 78%. Using an event study framework\, we estimate the effect of a new public school on neighborhood outcomes and competing private schools\, where we instrument for how quickly the public school construction project finished with whether the procurement lottery randomly assigned the project to a firm or an unaffiliated individual. We find that a new public increased neighborhood students’ test scores\, both in the public and private sectors. As public enrollment increased\, a large number of private schools closed while the surviving schools lowered prices and increased investment in school quality. To study how the provision of high quality schools varies with the level of public provision\, and to compare the effects to the alternative policy of public financing\, we specify an empirical model of demand (students choosing schools) and supply (schools choosing whether to stay open\, how much to invest in quality\, and what price to charge).

Although literary papyri represent a small fraction of surviving papyrus texts\, they nonetheless enable scholars both to improve their readings of known literary texts and to illuminate the rich diversity of ancient Greek literature\, the overwhelming majority of which has been lost to time.\n\nThe Greek literature that survives complete in the present day largely represents the texts that were the most popular in antiquity\, works like Homer’s Iliad and Euripides’ Medea. These texts were repeatedly copied throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages\, ensuring their continued transmission. Literary texts on papyri\, however\, provide a rare opportunity to glimpse fragments of ancient literature in their original form and to discover works that were read in antiquity but did not otherwise survive into the medieval and modern periods. This includes lesser-known works by such famous authors as Aristophanes and the Greek tragedians\, as well as fragments of texts whose authors remain unknown.\n\nThe exhibit was curated by Allison Thorsen\, UMSI student\, and can be viewed during regular hours of the Special Collections Research Center:\nhttps://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-research-center UID:66701-16770285@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections Research Center, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191204T110909 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T100000 SUMMARY:Performance:Second Year MFA Works in Progress Showing DESCRIPTION:In the Fall of their second year\, Master of Fine Arts in Dance candidates translate information and inspiration gained from their summer research trips into choreographed dance works.

These structural constraints usually come from the domain experts’ prior knowledge or insight. The emerging family of Structured Latent Attribute Models (SLAMs) accommodate these modeling needs and have received substantial attention in psychology\, education\, and epidemiology. SLAMs bring exciting opportunities and unique challenges. In particular\, with high-dimensional discrete latent attributes and structural constraints encoded by a design matrix\, one needs to balance the gain in the model’s explanatory power and interpretability\, against the difficulty of understanding and handling the complex model structure. \n\nIn the first part of this talk\, I present identifiability results that advance the theoretical knowledge of how the design matrix influences the estimability of SLAMs. The new identifiability conditions guide real-world practices of designing cognitive diagnostic tests and also lay the foundation for drawing valid statistical conclusions. In the second part\, I introduce a statistically consistent penalized likelihood approach to selecting significant latent patterns in the population. I also propose a scalable computational method. These developments explore an exponentially large model space involving many discrete latent variables\, and they address the estimation and computation challenges of high-dimensional SLAMs arising in large-scale scientific measurements. The application of the proposed methodology to the data from an international educational assessment reveals meaningful knowledge structures and latent subgroups of the student populations.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784130@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884132@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

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.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\n“The Lumberjack Model of Human-Automation Interaction: The Higher the Tree\, the Harder It Falls”\n\nAbstract:\nThe lumberjack model proposes a relation between the degree of automation and 4 human performance measures: Performance when automation works as intended\, performance when automation fails\, workload\, and situation awareness. The degree of automation refers jointly to what stage of human information processing automation supports: selective attention\, diagnosis\, decision making and action execution\, and to the level of automation within a stage. Accordingly\, with a higher degree of automation\, routine performance is improved and workload reduced\, but performance when automation fails is degraded\, a degradation that is caused by a progressively greater loss of situation awareness with a higher degree of automation.\n\nProfessor Wickens will describe the results of a meta-analysis and two experiments that support\, to varying degrees\, the 4 trends underlying the lumberjack model. In the first experiment\, participants (Wolverines!!) perform a robotics task\, that is assisted by either a low or high degree of imperfect automation. In the second experiment\, air traffic controllers employ an imperfect automated decision aid. The second experiment also shows how the costs of automation failure can be cushioned by building transparency into automation operations.\n\nBio:\nChris Wickens received his PhD in psychology from the University of Michigan in 1974\, after serving 3 years in the US Navy. He was a Professor in Psychology at University of Illinois from 1974-2005. From 1984-2005 he was also jointly appointed with the Department of Industrial Engineering\, and the Institute of Aviation\, where he was Associate Director and Head of the Aviation Human Factors Division.\n\nHe has published two textbooks in human factors and engineering psychology\, and 6 other professional books\, and has co-authored over 250 articles in refereed publications or book chapters. His research interests are in the human factors of transportation systems\, the study of human attention and its relevance to display design\, and human-automation interaction. He is an avid mountain climber.

Being able to accurately estimate the probability distribution of the number of customers without power by using data about the power utility system\, environmental and weather conditions has the potential to help utilities restore power more quickly and efficiently. In this research\, we develop two frameworks to address these issues. In the first framework\, we propose an adaptive two-stage algorithm based on Bayesian model averaging in order to form an ensemble model predicting daily distributions of customer outages. In this algorithm\, weights of the base learners depend on the features and they get updated as new data is observed. In the second framework\, we focus on the zero inflation issue of power outage data in resolutions smaller than county level. To overcome the challenges caused by zero-inflation\, e.g.\, bias and inaccuracy\, we propose a novel approach integrating mixture models with cost-sensitive learning. For both frameworks\, we conduct numerical studies using large\, real datasets of power outages. We show that our approaches offer more accurate point and probabilistic predictions than traditional approaches\, better supporting utility restoration planning.\n\nBio:\nElnaz Kabir is a PhD Candidate in the Industrial and Operations Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. Her research is grounded in predictive analytics\, data-driven decision making\, and risk analysis. In her research\, Elnaz is interested to use statistical learning theories\, and optimization techniques to better understand and solve important problems related to power outages caused by weather events. The results of her studies are used by practitioners of the utility companies in order to make better decisions to reduce the risk of weather-events to the power system.

It has become a rallying point for political issues ranging from abortion to gay liberation to sex education. Yet this notion of privacy originated not only from legal arguments\, nor solely from political movements on the left or the right\, but instead from ambivalent moderates who valued both personal freedom and the preservation of social norms.\n\nIn The Closet and the Cul-de-Sac\, Clayton Howard chronicles the rise of sexual privacy as a fulcrum of American cultural politics. Beginning in the 1940s\, public officials pursued an agenda that both promoted heterosexuality and made sexual privacy one of the state's key promises to its citizens. The 1944 G.I. Bill\, for example\, excluded gay veterans and enfranchised married ones in its dispersal of housing benefits. At the same time\, officials required secluded bedrooms in new suburban homes and created educational campaigns designed to teach children respect for parents' privacy. In the following decades\, measures such as these helped to concentrate middle-class families in the suburbs and gay men and lesbians in cities.\n\nIn the 1960s and 1970s\, the gay rights movement invoked privacy to attack repressive antigay laws\, while social conservatives criticized tolerance for LGBT people as an assault on their own privacy. Many self-identified moderates\, however\, used identical rhetoric to distance themselves from both the discriminatory language of the religious right and the perceived excesses of the gay freedom struggle. Using the Bay Area as a case study\, Howard places these moderates at the center of postwar American politics and shows how the region's burgeoning suburbs reacted to increasing gay activism in San Francisco. The Closet and the Cul-de-Sac offers specific examples of the ways in which government policies shaped many Americans' attitudes about sexuality and privacy and the ways in which citizens mobilized to reshape them.\n\n \nAbout the speaker:\nClayton Howard earned his PhD in history from the University of Michigan in 2010\, and he is an associate professor of history at the Ohio State University. He is a specialist in the postwar histories of sexuality\, politics\, cities\, and suburbs. His book The Closet and the Cul-de-Sac was published in March 2019\, and an essay that he wrote on the Log Cabin Republicans will appear in an anthology entitled Beyond the Politics of the Closet: Gay Rights and the American State Since the 1970s.\n \nLunch will be provided.

Evidence on the Multidimensionality of School Output DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nIs a school’s impact on high-stakes test scores a good measure of its overall impact on students? Do parents value school impacts on tests\, longer-run outcomes\, or both? To answer the first question\, we exploit quasi-random school assignments and data from Trinidad and Tobago. We construct exogenous instruments for each individual school and estimate the causal impacts of individual schools on several short- and longer-run outcomes. Schools’ impacts on high-stakes tests are weakly related to impacts on low-stakes tests\, dropout\, crime\, teen motherhood\, and formal labor market participation. To answer the second question\, we link estimated school\nimpacts to parents’ ranked lists of schools. We propose a modified mulitnomial logit model that allows one to infer preferences for school attributes even in some settings where choices are strategic. Parents of higher-achieving students value schools that improve high-stakes test scores conditional on average outcomes\, proximity\, and even peer quality. Parents also value schools that reduce crime and increase formal labor market participation. Most parents’ preferences for school impacts on labor-market and crime outcomes are\, as strong\, or stronger than those for test scores. These results provide a potential explanation for recent findings that parent preferences are not strongly related to test-score impacts. They also suggest that evaluations based solely on test scores may be very misleading about the welfare effects of school choice.

Some evidence suggests that medicine is exceptional in some ways in comparison to other fields\, even within the sciences. For example\, a recent report from the US National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine suggested that female medical students are 220% more likely than students from non-STEM disciplines to experience sexual harassment. Given the tremendous power and influence of the medical profession\, Dr. Jagsi will argue that we must study these issues carefully. Doing so can offer a unique lens with which to understand the broader forces driving inequity in society more generally and help to illuminate possible levers for influencing broader societal attitudes and behaviors. As a scholar whose research has long focused on understanding the mechanisms leading to inequity in the medical profession\, Dr. Jagsi will begin by providing an overview of the patterns of women's participation in the profession of medicine. She will then describe studies led by her team and others that have investigated the drivers of women's persistent under-representation among the leaders of the medical profession\, even in an era when half of all medical students are female. These include myriad complex challenges\, including gendered expectations\, unconscious bias\, and overt discrimination and harassment. She conclude by discussing innovative interventions that have been implemented to begin the process of cultural transformation in medicine\, in the hopes that they may also provide inspiration for initiatives in other settings.

Inman\nCognate: Professor Kon-Well Wang\nMembers:\nProfessor Henry Sodano\nAssociate Professor Veera Sundararaghavan\n\nPresentation Info:\nDate: 12/6\nTime: 2:00 PM\nLocation: McDivitt Conference Room\n\nThe use of mechanical metamaterials\, or metastructures\, for vibration suppression has recently emerged as an approach to creating vibrationally resilient systems. Although many metastructures predict an improved performance\, many have not been experimentally validated due to the previous infeasibility of manufacturing their complex geometries. \n\nAdditionally\, existing research has only considered designs excited in one or two directions. This research successfully designs and fabricates the first multi-axis mechanical metamaterial design capable of attenuating vibration in three directions of excitation (longitudinal\, transverse\, and torsional) and experimentally validates its performance against FEM and analytical models.\n\nThis work analyzes cases where using a highly damped material will outperform an optimized geometry and determines a dividing line between material damping and vibration absorption in mechanical metamaterial design. These criteria can help determine whether it is necessary to undergo costly geometric optimization processes.\n \nThe peak separation capabilities of the multi axis mechanical metamaterial are considered for augmentation through a control system located on the distributed absorber system. A pole placement control system was introduced to adjust the natural frequencies of the absorbers. Additional insight on control use in mechanical metamaterials is discussed\, including recommendations on when an active control system should be considered.

That complexity is rooted in Plato's own texts\, offering as they do competing views on the nature of the soul. How did the soul (psyche) come to stand in for the interiority of the human person? How did the idea of an incorporeal self come to occupy an unbroken tradition of over one thousand years\, pervading cultures around the Mediterranean basin\, but rooted in ideas that can be directly traced back to Plato’s texts? Over that millennium\, questions arose as to the existence of a world soul or even of an evil soul\, the cosmic function of the soul\, the way that the soul thinks\, how soul governs or enlivens the body\, the pre-existence of the soul\, its fall into embodiment\, etc. How did soul come to have so many disparate functions and configurations in the Platonic tradition?\n\nIn celebration of the upcoming 70th birthday of John Finamore\, Roger Hornsby Professor of Classics at the University of Iowa\, President of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies\, and Editor of the International of the Platonic Tradition.\n\nSCHEDULE\n\nDay One\, Friday Dec. 6 \nClassics Library\, 2175 Angell Hall\nConference Opening\n\nFirst Session: Plotinus and Proclus\n2:00 pm \nSuzanne Stern-Gillet.

Within this framework\, I characterize self-enforcing arrangements for two types of environments. When wages are rigid\, as in the matching market for hospitals and medical residents\, players can be partitioned into two sets: regardless of patience level\, some players can be assigned only according to a static stable matching\; when institutions are patient\, the other players can be assigned in ways that are unstable in one-shot interactions. I discuss these results’ implications for allocating residents to rural hospitals. When wages can be flexibly adjusted\, I show that with flexible wages\, repeated interaction resolves well-known non-existence issues: while static stable matchings may fail to exist with complementarities and/or peer effects\, self-enforcing matching processes always exist if institutions are sufficiently patient.

In these regimes standard quasicontinuum theories\, targeting long-wave limits of lattice models\, are not adequate since even weak strictly supersonic solitary waves are of envelope type and crucially involve a microscopic scale in addition to the mesoscopic scale of the envelope. To capture this effect in a continuum setting it is necessary to employ unconventional\, higher-order quasicontinuum approximations carrying more than one length scale. This talk is based on recent joint work with Lev Truskinovsky (ESPCI).\n\nBio: Anna Vainchtein is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh.

There is something obsessive about both the sheer quantity of scenes of family violence in Walser and the fact that he repeatedly revisits one and the same fantasy-tableau\, sometimes across decades. My talk is concerned with this repetition and variation. Why\, for instance\, does Walser keep on changing the tone of these depictions? And why is Walser\, more than other writers\, so concerned with altering the perspective on these acts of violence? This talk uncovers in the often-cited 'madness' of Walser’s literature an important insight into what makes acts of domestic violence so challenging to grasp: Walser’s literary examples make evident that\, in the case of family violence\, the problem of perspective is not purely formal but intrinsic\; epistemologically speaking\, part of the violence of domestic violence is the exhausting degree of affective mobility it demands – a capacity but also an obligation to change tones and perspectives.\" -- Barbara Natalie Nagel\, Assistant Professor\, German Studies\, Princeton University.\n\nFriday\, December 6\, 3-4:45pm\nRackham\, Earl Lewis Room\, Third Floor UID:69533-17376530@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69533 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Germanic Languages And Literatures LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Earl Lewis Room, Third Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191125T145723 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Engaging Images: Art History and Anthropology in Conversation DESCRIPTION:A symposium in honor of Jennifer Robertson and Celeste Brusati.\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nArt and/as \"Historical Ethnography\" \nJulie Hochstrasser - University of Iowa\n\nIn which an art historian reflects upon the role of anthropology in her scholarship on the seventeenth-century Dutch across the course of her career\, pausing to dwell upon several case studies in greater depth. Explores the notion of \"historical ethnography\" in several respects: examples of early modern artists as proto-ethnographers\, and on the other hand\, the art historian herself as ethnographer\, tackling subjects doubly distanced\, both culturally and temporally. \n\n\"Historically Hot: Reimagining Beauty from Japan's Past\"\nLaura Miller - University of Missouri\, St. Louis\n\nWho was considered to be a beautiful man or a gorgeous woman in Japan’s ancient period? What did an attractive Edo samurai or courtesan look like? When contemporary popular culture producers set out to create manga\, anime\, film and TV series set in historical eras\, they often find that the beauty standards of long ago are quite different from contemporary reader and viewer standards. Rather than try to represent historically accurate appearance\, artists and writers meld some aspects of historic fashion with recent ideals for body and facial types. This presentation will feature several reimagined historical figures who are represented by actors\, cosplayers\, or drawn characters who reflect today’s beauty ideology rather than those of the periods they are portraying. Although some efforts are made to depict the costumes and hairstyles of the period\, the desire to cater to current beauty norms dominates these productions.\n\n\"Lodging/Dwelling/Painting in Elizabethan England\"\nElizabeth Alice Honig - University of Maryland\, College Park\n\nFrom the Old Testament to Heidegger and beyond\, the concept of “dwelling” has been freighted with significance. It has meant belonging and being chosen\, shared community and special entitlement\, a state of mind as well as one of physical habitation\, the possession of selfhood and of a perspective on the world. This paper explores “dwelling” in Renaissance England\, particularly considering those who lack that privilege. It takes as its foci first\, a set of Elizabethan wall paintings at Pittleworth Manor that depicts the story of rich Dives and the roaming beggar Lazarus\; and second\, the prison run by Pittleworth’s recusant owner\, which became a kind of dwelling-place for imprisoned Catholics.\n\n\"Gas Mask Nation: Visualizing Civil Air Defense in Wartime Japan\"\nGennifer Weisenfeld - Duke University\n\nAn army of schoolgirls march through Tokyo\, their faces an anonymous procession of gas masks. Photographer Horino Masao’s Gas Mask Parade\, Tokyo from 1936 is one of the most iconic images of the anxious modernism of 1930s Japan. It reveals the vivid yet prosaic inculcation of fear in Japanese daily life through the increasingly pervasive visual culture of civil defense. Japan’s invasion of Manchuria in late 1931—the beginning of its Fifteen-Year War—marks the onset of a period of intense social mobilization and militarization on the home front as the war zone expanded on the continent and throughout the Pacific. Surveillance\, secrecy\, darkness\, defensive barriers\, physical security\, and prophylaxis all became standard visual tropes of national preparedness and communal anxiety. Still\, amidst this anxiety\, a culture of pleasure and wonder persisted\, a culture in which tasty Morinaga-brand caramels were sold to children with paper gas masks as promotional giveaways\, and popular magazines featured everything from attractive models in the latest civil defense fashions to marvelous futuristic wartime weapons. The visual and material culture of civil air defense or bōkū titillated the senses\, even evoking the erotic through the monstrously enticing gas mask figures marching through the streets.\n\nPrevailing scholarship portrays the war years in Japan as a landscape of privation where consumer and popular culture—and creativity in general—were suppressed under the massive censorship of the war machine. Without denying the horrors of total war\, this understanding of the cultural climate needs revision. Pleasure\, desire\, wonder\, creativity\, and humor were all still abundantly present. Humanity persisted in its complexity. Therefore\, by grasping the full nature of wartime’s all-encompassing sensory and compensatory enticements\, the dangers of its mix of sacrifice and gratification are unmasked UID:66190-16719579@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/66190 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Art,Art History,Japanese Studies LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheatre - 4th floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191127T135043 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191206T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | UV and IR properties of quantum gravity from amplitudes DESCRIPTION:Using the general unitarity cuts method and amplitudes approach\, we calculate the 4-point all-plus-helicity graviton amplitudes at 2-loop. This reproduces a well-known result about 2-loop divergence in quantum gravity\, and more importantly\, we figure out a very simple renormalization scale dependence of gravity theories at 2-loop. And from this scale dependence\, we conclude the duality between scalar and 2-form\, between 3-form and cosmological constant at quantum level. And after this direct but complicated calculation\, we figure out an alternative simple derivation by doing the cuts and integration in 4d\, instead of 4-2e dimension. This elucidates the ultraviolet(UV) physics within. Besides\, using techniques from amplitudes\, we calculate the bending angle of massless projectiles\, including graviton\, when they pass near a massive object\, like the sun\, which is represented by a massive scalar. This reveals the long-distance/infrared(IR) properties of quantum gravity\, without worrying about the UV details. And we obtain different bending angles for different massless projectile with different spins\, which could possibly indicate a violation of classical equivalence principle at quantum level.

New geochemical\, geochronological\, and geophysical data are used to develop an improved model for the origin of the terrane. The terrane formed during two major episodes of igneous activity: (1) an older episode (ca. 1.48–1.44 Ga) of granodiorite to granite intrusive activity accompanied by felsic and subordinate basaltic to andesitic volcanism and associated subvolcanic intrusive activity and (2) a younger episode (ca. 1.33–1.30 Ga) consisting of bimodal granite and gabbro intrusion. The older rocks are predominantly ferroan\, subalkaline with tholeiitic affinity and are enriched in Rb\, Ba\, Th\, K\, Pb\, and light-REEs and depleted in Ta and Nb relative to primitive mantle. Trace element contents are similar to both within-plate\, A-type and volcanic arc\, I- and S-type granite compositions\; however\, the Nb and Ta depletions are characteristic of arc magmatism. Nd isotopic data suggest derivation from a mantle source or a mantle-derived juvenile (< 50 m.y.) crust. The younger granitic rocks are highly evolved with trace element abundances similar to within-plate granite.\n\nWe suggest that the SFM terrane involved melting of newly formed crust along the margin of the Laurentia as a result of mantle upwelling and underplating of tholeiitic basaltic magma at or near the base of the crust\, possibly due to far field subduction processes or extension along the margin of the craton. The mantle-derived magmas generated partial melting and assimilation of the crust that subsequently fractionated in magma chambers at mid-crustal levels. Evidence of the underplating and incursion of the mantle-derived mafic magmas is seen in the regional gravity and aeromagnetic data\, with the SFM underlain by dense\, highly magnetic units at mid-crustal levels believed to be the mafic precursor magmas and(or) restite. Three-dimensional modeling of magnetic and gravity data coupled with results from a new magnetotelluric survey are yielding new insights into the crustal architecture of the terrane. Deep-seated magmatic systems can be resolved that we believe are the feeders for the near surface volcanic and shallow plutonic rocks and the coeval mineralizing systems. As well\, a new high-resolution aeromagnetic survey acquired in August 2019 is yielding new insights as to the subtle complexities of the intrusions throughout the terrane.

Light refreshments will be served. \n\nABSTRACTS\n\nJiseung Kim:\n\"Individual differences in the production and perception of prosodic boundaries in American English\"\nWe investigate the hypothesis that individual participants vary in their production and perception of prosodic boundaries\, and that the acoustic properties they use to encode prosodic contrasts are closely related to the properties used to perceive those contrasts. An acoustic study examined 32 native speakers’ production of sentences containing IP and word boundaries. Twenty participants returned and participated in an eye-tracking study where they listened to stimuli that were manipulated to include different combinations of the acoustic properties associated with IP boundaries. The results indicate large variability in both production and perception\, and provide evidence for production of the boundary cues influencing the same individuals’ perception. \n\nEmily Sabo: \n\"Does speaker accent influence bilingual word processing?\"\nDuring sentence comprehension\, how does the accent of a speaker interact with a bilingual listener’s lexical knowledge to influence word processing? This project will address this question by examining the N400 responses of highly fluent Spanish-English bilingual listeners as they process lexical errors\, particularly FALSE COGNATES from Spanish into English (e.g. Eng. ‘embarrassed’ == [[pregnant]] because Sp. ‘embarazada’ == [[pregnant]]). An example of a false cognate from Spanish in sentential context could be as follows: \"My wife and I have wanted kids for so long. We're so excited to announce that she is finally embarrassed.\" The question here is whether the accent of the speaker who uttered the false cognate error affects how the bilingual listeners interprets and/or resolves the error during sentence comprehension. The study will employ a 3 x 3 design: ErrorType (NoError\, SpanishError\, OtherError) and SpeakerAccent (L1-MUSE-accented English\, L2-Spanish-accented English\, L2-Other-accented English). The results will shed light on the role of speaker accent during bilingual word prediction and semantic integration.

In this colloquium talk\, Ty Otto will discuss these issues\, including topics such as (1) U.S. nuclear cooperation agreements\, which pave the way for U.S. nuclear firms to compete in foreign countries\, (2) concepts to “internationalize” the nuclear fuel cycle in support of nonproliferation goals. As an analyst at a U.S. national laboratory\, he also shares his perspectives on how DOE Labs harness technical expertise to support nonproliferation policymakers. \n\nBiography\nTy Otto is an analyst at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory\, where he focuses on a variety of nonproliferation issues including IAEA verification\, the risks of emerging technologies\, ensuring treaty compliance at domestic U.S. locations\, and advancing U.S. nuclear nonproliferation policy. Prior to joining PNNL in 2016\, he worked as a graduate fellow at DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration\, supporting the Office of Nonproliferation and Arms Control.  He has a master’s in nuclear energy from the University of Cambridge (UK)\, and a BS in physics from the University of Washington.

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.

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.

Such imperial systems were durable\, ruling over vast territories for long durations of time. The Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire\, for example\, each lasted for almost 700 years\, the Mongols and Comanche Empires for about two centuries\, while some have argued the Chinese Empire endured for well over 4\,000 years. All empires faced resistance and rebellion in some form and to some degree.\n\nImperial systems and those who have opposed\, resisted\, and rebelled against imperial power\, politics\, and culture have played a long and important role in global history. Given how important empires\, decolonization\, and independence movements have been\, it is not surprising that we have a rich historical\, literary and artistic heritage that captures the impact empires and liberation from imperial control has had on individuals\, peoples\, communities\, and the world.\n\nThe World History and Literature Initiative’s (WHaLI) three-day conference for secondary teachers will focus on these issues using examples drawn from different historical times and areas of the world. In addition to helping teachers develop their knowledge and understanding of this Empires\, imperial practices\, independence movements and decolonization in world history and literature\, the conference also illuminates challenges students face in learning such content and explores ways teachers might meet those challenges. WHaLI conference provides participants with relevant resources as well as lunch and refreshments. This year we will meet on December 6 (Friday)\, December 7 (Saturday) and December 14 (Saturday).\n\nRegistration: https://payments.lsa.umich.edu/whali/ UID:64242-16260523@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64242 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:International LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T180000 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.

That complexity is rooted in Plato's own texts\, offering as they do competing views on the nature of the soul. How did the soul (psyche) come to stand in for the interiority of the human person? How did the idea of an incorporeal self come to occupy an unbroken tradition of over one thousand years\, pervading cultures around the Mediterranean basin\, but rooted in ideas that can be directly traced back to Plato’s texts? Over that millennium\, questions arose as to the existence of a world soul or even of an evil soul\, the cosmic function of the soul\, the way that the soul thinks\, how soul governs or enlivens the body\, the pre-existence of the soul\, its fall into embodiment\, etc. How did soul come to have so many disparate functions and configurations in the Platonic tradition?\n\nIn celebration of the upcoming 70th birthday of John Finamore\, Roger Hornsby Professor of Classics at the University of Iowa\, President of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies\, and Editor of the International of the Platonic Tradition.\n\nSCHEDULE\n\nDay One\, Friday Dec. 6 \nClassics Library\, 2175 Angell Hall\nConference Opening\n\nFirst Session: Plotinus and Proclus\n2:00 pm \nSuzanne Stern-Gillet.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784131@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884133@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988440@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

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

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931489@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191112T124135 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T114500 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Paleo Prep Lab Chat DESCRIPTION:Join us at the visible labs in the atriums for a discussion about the science happening inside.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059428@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T111359 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191207T140000 SUMMARY:Other:MIW Application Deadline-February 14\, 2020 DESCRIPTION:Regular admission deadline for Fall 2020 and early admission Winter 2021.

Born in Boston and raised in North Carolina\, Livingston is the fourth child in a very musical family that includes Alex\, James\, Kate and Hugh. Including top-40 hits \"I Will Be in Love with You\" and \"I’ll Come Running\,\" to \"I Can Dream of You\" and \"Boatman\,\" both recorded by his brother James\, Livingston’s creative output has continued unabated.

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.

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

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

That complexity is rooted in Plato's own texts\, offering as they do competing views on the nature of the soul. How did the soul (psyche) come to stand in for the interiority of the human person? How did the idea of an incorporeal self come to occupy an unbroken tradition of over one thousand years\, pervading cultures around the Mediterranean basin\, but rooted in ideas that can be directly traced back to Plato’s texts? Over that millennium\, questions arose as to the existence of a world soul or even of an evil soul\, the cosmic function of the soul\, the way that the soul thinks\, how soul governs or enlivens the body\, the pre-existence of the soul\, its fall into embodiment\, etc. How did soul come to have so many disparate functions and configurations in the Platonic tradition?\n\nIn celebration of the upcoming 70th birthday of John Finamore\, Roger Hornsby Professor of Classics at the University of Iowa\, President of the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies\, and Editor of the International of the Platonic Tradition.\n\nSCHEDULE\n\nDay One\, Friday Dec. 6 \nClassics Library\, 2175 Angell Hall\nConference Opening\n\nFirst Session: Plotinus and Proclus\n2:00 pm \nSuzanne Stern-Gillet.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784132@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884134@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-15931490@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191112T130018 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191208T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191208T133000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:Star talks will examine the night sky with its slowly changing constellations\, bright planets\, and a short journey to visit far-away objects.\n\nThe new Planetarium & Dome Theater has comfortable seating for 57 visitors and space for up to 9 wheelchairs\, easy-access seats\, and a limited number of hearing assistance devices.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059429@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T111359 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191208T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191208T140000 SUMMARY:Other:MIW Application Deadline-February 14\, 2020 DESCRIPTION:Regular admission deadline for Fall 2020 and early admission Winter 2021.

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.

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

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

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.

The Impact of Automatic Enrollment on Debt DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nDoes automatic enrollment into a retirement plan increase borrowing outside the plan? We study a natural experiment created when the U.S. Army began automatically enrolling newly hired civilian employees into the Thrift Savings Plan. Four years after hire\, automatic enrollment causes no significant change in credit scores (point estimate 0.001 standard deviations) or debt balances excluding auto loans and first mortgages (point estimate -0.6% of annual salary). We also find no significant increase in auto loan and first mortgage balances in our main regression specification\, although the estimated increases in these categories are economically and statistically significant in alternative specifications.

Implications for Children and Adolescents DESCRIPTION:Our food environment has changed drastically in the last 50 years. Highly processed (HP) foods that strongly activate reward and motivation systems have become cheap\, easily accessible\, and heavily marketed. Rising levels of overeating and difficulties controlling food intake have accompanied these changes to our food system. There is growing evidence from animal models and biobehavioral research in humans that HP foods may be capable of triggering neurobiological and psychological responses that parallel those associated with drugs of abuse. This has led to a growing interest in the role of addictive processes in certain types of eating pathology. Unlike traditional drugs of abuse\, HP foods are typically consumed very early in development (often in the first year of life). In this talk\, the evidence that addictive processes may be playing a role in certain types of pathological eating will be evaluated and implications for children and adolescents will be discussed.

However\, in the mammalian embryo\, morphogen concentrations change rapidly compared to the time for making cell fate decisions. It is unknown how changing ligand levels are interpreted\, and whether the precise timecourse of ligand exposure plays a role in cell fate decisions. In this talk I will discuss our work to address this question using human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)\, focusing on the dynamics of two morphogens that are crucial for vertebrate gastrulation: Nodal and BMP4. We showed that the response of hESCs to BMP4 signaling is indeed is determined by the ligand concentration\, but that unexpectedly\, the expression of many mesodermal targets of Nodal depends on the rate of concentration increase. In addition\, we showed that a stem cell model for the human embryo generates a wave of Nodal signaling with cells experiencing rapidly increasing Nodal specifically in the region of mesendoderm differentiation. The BMP4 and Nodal pathways share the signal transducer Smad4. Using live imaging of hESCs with GFP integrated at the endogenous SMAD4 locus combined with Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP)\, we demonstrated that response to rate of Activin change is due to adaptive signaling\, which relies on sequestration of SMAD4. We also demonstrated that pulsatile stimulation with Activin induces repeated strong signaling and enhances mesoderm differentiation. Our results break with the paradigm of concentration-dependent differentiation and demonstrate an important role for morphogen dynamics in the cell fate decisions associated with mammalian gastrulation. They suggest a highly dynamic picture of embryonic patterning where some cell fates depend on rapid concentration increase rather than on absolute levels\, and point to ligand dynamics as a new dimension to optimize protocols for directed stem cell differentiation.\n UID:68969-17205310@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68969 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200129T125539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191209T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191209T130000 SUMMARY:Other:Student Grant Proposal 2020: College of Engineering - Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion DESCRIPTION:The College of Engineering is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity created to further our Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion initiatives.

Examples include biological structures\, such as insect wing exoskeletons\, fluid phenomena\, such as bubbles and jets\, and human-made objects\, such as microrobots. The beauty and complexity of these systems attract efforts from scientists\, engineers\, and artists in various fields. However\, a computational investigation of these systems on the level of super-resolution –with millions to billions of computational elements — is still challenging\, due to the non-manifold geometric structures\, non-linear governing physics\, and the tight coupling between them.\n\nMy work tackles these challenges by rethinking of the computation pipeline—from a perspective that aims to blur the line between discrete geometry and continuous physics. My guiding principle is to study the hidden low-dimensional topological and structural characteristics underpinning these complex systems and to create the most natural geometric analogs in a discrete setting for efficient simulation and optimization. In this talk\, I will present two examples to demonstrate this methodology\, including a super-resolution topology optimization algorithm based on sparse grids to emerge biomimetic structures and a numerical simulation approach based on simplicial complexes to model codimensional fluids. These computational tools enable the investigation\, discovery\, and development of a broad range of complex physical systems that are multi-scale and mixed-dimensional\, with applications in computer graphics\, computational physics\, and additive manufacturing.\n\nBio: Bo Zhu is an assistant professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth College.

Quasi-experimental evidence from Cook County\, IL” (joint with John Eric Humphries\, Nick Mader\, and Daniel Tannenbaum) DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nEach year\, more than two million U.S. households have an eviction case filed against them. Many cities have recently implemented policies aimed at reducing the number of evictions\, motivated by research showing strong associations between being evicted and subsequent adverse economic outcomes. Yet it is difficult to determine to what extent those associations represent causal relationships\, because eviction itself is likely to be a consequence of adverse life events. This paper addresses that challenge and offers new causal evidence on how eviction affects financial distress\, residential mobility\, and neighborhood quality. We collect the near-universe of Cook County court records over a period of seventeen years\, and link these records to credit bureau and payday loans data. Using this data\, we characterize the trajectory of financial strain in the run-up and aftermath of eviction court for both evicted and non-evicted households\, finding high levels and striking increases in financial strain in the years before an eviction case is filed. Guided by this descriptive evidence\, we employ two approaches to draw causal inference on the effect of eviction. The first takes advantage of the panel data through a difference-in-differences design. The second is an instrumental variables strategy\, relying on the fact that court cases are randomly assigned to judges of varying leniency. We find that eviction negatively impacts credit access and durable consumption for several years. However\, the effects are small relative to the financial strain experienced by both evicted and non-evicted tenants in the run-up to an eviction filing.

Ensuring that this team is able to properly staff its units at all times is essential to Michigan Medicine’s mission and role as a Level 1 Trauma Center and Burn Verified Center. However\, traditional methods for scheduling healthcare providers are time-intensive and may fail to meet the needs of the providers and units they serve. For Acute Care Surgery\, the task of creating the schedules\, which often follows a complex set of rules and preferences\, falls on the Division Chief\, consuming valuable time and sometimes not satisfying each surgeon’s preferences. To improve this process\, we have created a computerized decision-making tool to ease the burden of creating such schedules. We formulated an integer program to automate the creation of this department’s six-month-long schedule\, which assigns 15 attending surgeons to 5 units for weekly time intervals. Users can input schedule parameters such as the attending surgeons’ time-off requests and targeted number of weeks on service. Moreover\, metrics enable generating the highest-quality schedule that simultaneously meets the needs of the department\, the surgeons’ preferences\, and balances the schedule fairly. This scheduling tool has drastically decreased the production time of the schedule. Whereas previously creating the six-month schedule required multiple weeks of the division chief’s time\, using the scheduling tool requires only a few hours of the division chief’s time. Additionally\, the transparent schedule metrics defined by the tool can increase a sense of fairness among surgeons\, increasing job satisfaction and reducing physician burnout.\n\nAmy Cohn\, PhD\, joined the faculty in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan in 2002 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2009\; in 2011\, she was also named a Thurnau Professor and in 2017 was promoted to Full Professor.

With few exceptions\, the study of V&R (and the Persian romance tradition more generally) has been guided by the frame of national literary history — Browne’s Literary History of Persia being the keystone work in this method — and within this frame\, V&R comes across as something of an outsider\, an anomaly\, and certainly a work of limited historical impact. In this introduction\, Cross outlines why and how he proposes to read the poem not as an early specimen of a national literary tradition still in its infancy\, but as a response to a mature tradition of narratives about lovers\, developed in many languages over the course of the previous millennium. From that perspective\, this text stands to tell us much about the spread\, diffusion\, and purpose of that literary habit we call romance\, and the concept of romantic love that is its subject\, from the critical but largely unexplored vantage-point of medieval Persia.

These early storytelling skills can help children develop a strong foundation for building later reading and writing skills. Research suggests that opportunities to practice telling stories helps children develop stronger language skills and a better understanding of how stories are structured. This presentation will review seven ways that young children's storytelling skills can impact their literacy development. The presentation will also share tips on how best to support young children to become better storytellers. \n\nBio: Nicole Gardner-Neblett\, Ph.D.\, is a developmental psychologist whose work focuses on the individual and contextual factors that promote children’s language and literacy development. She adopts a strengths-based approach to understanding children’s development and identifying effective practices to transform the early learning experiences of young children. In particular\, Dr. Gardner-Neblett’s work examines the oral narrative\, or storytelling\, skills of African American children and the implications for literacy development and educational practice.

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

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059431@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191210T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191210T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

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

Roosevelt in the post-Watergate era\, he became president only by fooling the public about the paralysis he suffered as a result of poliomyelitis.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784133@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884135@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

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.

To support this adaptive behavior\, sensory brain circuits balance competing needs for maintaining a stable and coherent representation of the external environment\, while reorganizing in response following salient experiences. In the auditory cortex\, neurons exhibit robust\, consistent and selective responses to sound stimuli. On the other hand\, experience can cause changes in the response properties of individual auditory cortical neurons as well as in the large-scale functional organization of the auditory cortex. However\, little is known about the degree of longitudinal ensemble-level stability or plasticity of auditory cortical sound representations. To address this gap\, we carried out longitudinal two-photon calcium imaging in the auditory cortex of awake mice to derive the response properties of identified neuronal ensembles to simple and complex sounds across days. Our preliminary results suggest a surprising degree of plasticity of sound-evoked responses within local neuronal ensembles in the auditory cortex.

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our weekly brown bag lunch seminar.\n\nAbstract\nThe senses are our interface with our surrounding world and attuned to specific qualities of prominent signals within the environment. Studying the ways in which senses have changed during evolution can be a marker of how organisms respond to major ecological shifts. Snakes have invaded aquatic habitats multiple times\, but\, with over 60 fully-aquatic and ecologically diverse species\, few groups have been so successful as sea snakes (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae). I will explore the sensory evolution of sea snakes\, with emphasis on two senses that are mediated by the skin: mechanoreception (touch) and tail phototaxis (skin photoreception). Tiny mechanoreceptors on the scales of sea snakes have undergone substantial changes during evolution\, I will discuss whether these morphological changes are likely to confer a 'hydrodynamic' function (analogous to the lateral line system of fishes) in sea snakes. Light sensitivity of the paddle-tail in sea snakes (tail phototaxis) is a rare trait among vertebrates and convergent with other elongate\, aquatic species (hagfish\, lamprey\, aquatic salamanders). I explore the evolutionary origins\, genetic mechanisms and ecological factors underlying this fascinating sense in sea snakes.

Directed by Martin Walsh. \n\nTwelfth Night centers on the twins Viola and Sebastian\, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola (who is disguised as Cesario) falls in love with Duke Orsino\, who in turn is in love with Countess Olivia. Upon meeting Viola\, Countess Olivia falls in love with her thinking she is a man.\n\nThe Tempest is thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. After the first scene\, which takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest\, the rest of the story is set on a remote island\, where the sorcerer Prospero\, a complex and contradictory character\, lives with his daughter Miranda\, and his two servants—Caliban\, a savage monster figure\, and Ariel\, an airy spirit.

From 1988-2009 she was on the faculties of Geography and Biology at San Diego State University. She specializes in Landscape Ecology\, Biogeography\, and Geographic Information Science. Franklin’s research is focused on in the patterns and dynamics of terrestrial plant communities at the landscape scale. Her work addresses the impacts of human-caused landscape change on the environment. Human land use -- agriculture and urbanization -- and other large-scale human impacts such as climate change\, and the introduction of exotic species\, often interact with natural disturbance regimes such as fire\, flooding and hurricanes\, to shape plant community dynamics in forests\, shrublands\, and other ecosystems.

In particular\, I will describe the signal sizes necessary and sufficient for statistical procedures to simultaneously control false discovery (in terms of family-wise error rate or false discovery rate) and missed detection (in terms of family-wise non-discovery rate or false non-discovery rate) in the simple but ubiquitous signal-plus-noise model\n\n x(i) = \mu(i) + \epsilon(i)\, \quad i=1\,2\,\ldots\,p\n\nSeveral well-known procedures are shown to attain said boundaries. Remarkably\, these phase transition phenomena continue to hold under a much wider class of models\, and under extremely weak dependence assumptions. We provide point-wise\, rather than minimax\, results\, wherever we can. Important practical implications\, along with an interesting manifestation of the phase transitions in genome-wide association studies (GWAS)\, will be discussed.\n\nBehind the statistical results is a probabilistic phenomenon known as relative stability. Much like how the law of large numbers describes the concentration of averages\, relative stability --- or the \"law of large dimensions\" --- describes the concentration of maxima. We provide a complete characterization of the relative stability phenomenon for Gaussian triangular arrays in terms of their correlation structure. Its proof uses classic Sudakov-Fernique and Slepian lemma arguments along with a curious application of Ramsey's coloring theorem.

Bioelectronics include wearable sensors for health monitoring\, in vitro diagnostics\, therapeutic implantable devices\, and electrical stimulation for tissue engineering and regeneration. Despite their influence\, bioelectronic devices are still limited by the fact that they are disparate and distinct from biology. The quality of the device-tissue interface is poor and diminishes with time\; this is thought to be due to many factors including significant surgical trauma\, an aggressive foreign body response\, poor material compatibility with the biological milieu\, as well as imprecise and distant connections between electronics and surrounding cells or tissues. Towards addressing these challenges\, I will first present the use of slippery surfaces for mitigating the consequences of implanting bioelectronics into delicate tissues. I will demonstrate how liquid-infused elastomers reduce tissue deformation and tearing associated with the insertion of intracortical probes in rats. I will then present how\, unlike typical electronic fabrication processes\, additive manufacturing is compatible with biomaterials and cells. I will demonstrate that when “inks”\, processing methods\, and scaffold structure are engineered appropriately\, extrusion-based 3D printing affords patterned\, viable\, and functional cell networks\, and I will discuss how this can be exploited in future bioelectronic devices. To conclude\, I will briefly present my vision to continue tackling the pressing challenges of biointegration that bioelectronics face in expanding their clinical and scientific impacts. The Rutz Lab will engineer “electronic tissues” that merge electronics and biology using additive manufacturing and biomaterials approaches.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059432@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191211T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191211T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

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

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784134@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884136@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

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.

These correlations can essentially be encompassed by a simple scaling relation between observed and baryonic accelerations\, historically known as the Mass Discrepancy Acceleration Relation (MDAR). The existence of such a relation has prompted many theories that attempt to explain the correlations by invoking additional fundamental forces on baryons. The standard lore has been that a theory that reduces to the MDAR on galaxy scales but behaves like cold dark matter (CDM) on larger scales provides an excellent fit to data\, since CDM is desirable on scales of clusters and above. However\, this statement should be revised in light of recent results showing that a fundamental force that reproduces the MDAR is challenged by Milky Way dynamics. In this study\, we test this claim on the example of Superfluid Dark Matter. We find that a standard CDM model is strongly preferred over a static superfluid profile. This is due to the fact that the superfluid model over-predicts vertical accelerations\, even while reproducing galactic rotation curves. Our results establish an important criterion that any dark matter model must satisfy within the Milky Way.

Just the amount of knowledge\, or metacognition as well? How will they behave when facing something they don't know and is that deviated from people's expectations for them?\n\nIris Wang\nTitle: How ecology impacts friendship choice\n\nAbstract: Social relationships are an essential part of human survival. Friendship evolved as a means of social coordination among non-kin to help people meet fitness goals. Although friendships afford people many opportunities\, they can also come with their own set of problems. Given this propensity for friends to both hurt and help our fitness goals\, how do people choose these social partners? People seem to pay close attention to traits associated with cooperation such as honesty\, trustworthiness\, and sincerity At the same time\, people also seem able to tailor trait preferences to different group contexts based on the affordances of those contexts. However\, although this work touches on the importance of group context\, no work has ever examined what the role of ecologies play in shaping social partner preferences. In short\, this work is designed to test whether people tailor these preferences to the environments in which they inhabit.

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.

Brophy’s Financing Technology Commercialization practicum will go before a panel of venture capital judges to present their strongest\, most-strategic fund-raising pitches for venture capital financing. \n\nThe event will take place in the Ross School’s Blau Auditorium. Members and friends of the U-M student\, faculty and alumni community are welcome to attend at 6 p.m.\n\nEach student team has been working closely with the founder(s) of a Michigan-based\, early-stage startup for the entire semester to help jump-start the company’s growth. A number of the participating startups are University spinouts that are commercializing new technologies and research discoveries.\n\nOver the course of the practicum\, the students have assisted these emerging companies in refining business plans and market-entry strategies\, accelerating the commercialization of research discoveries and disruptive technologies\, and raising venture capital to fund expansion. \n\nTo move the needle on startup development\, the teams needed to conduct due diligence\, calculate valuation\, develop financial plans and make key strategic decisions. Seasoned mentors helped the students put their textbook theory into practice.\n\nThe high-stakes 2019 Financing Technology Commercialization Pitch Competition represents the culmination of months of hard work and collaboration. Each team stands ready to take on the capstone challenge in hopes of emerging as the top-ranked contestant in the pitch competition.\n\nThe practicum’s goal\, according to Professor Brophy\, is to give emerging\, fast-growth companies a fresh set of eyes\, minds and hands that can help them progress “the next mile” to raise external equity capital. Students\, in turn\, benefit from their action-based learning experience\, which prepares them to become successful leaders of their own entrepreneurial enterprises in the future.\n“In an action-learning setting\, this unique course succeeds in teaching students and entrepreneurs\, as working partners\, how to prepare and position high-potential\, emerging growth companies to raise their first (Series A) venture capital\, a critical milestone in the company’s growth\,” Professor Brophy explains. “Our objective is to help local market companies directly and to prepare U-M students to be fundable founders and venture investors in their own right.” \n\nThis year’s panel of seasoned VCs will assess and rank the students’ investor pitches and offer helpful feedback. Judging panelists are drawn from a wide range of Michigan venture capital investors: corporations such as Stryker and DowDuPont\, investment partnerships from the Michigan Venture Capital Association\, and an array of angel investment groups and high net worth individuals.\n \nSince its inception in 2004\, Professor Brophy’s course has provided student-led business-development and capital-raising assistance to 225 early-stage companies\, including 75 ventures that have procured their targeted funding. More than 1\,300 U-M students have gone through the practicum and become part of the Michigan Ross Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance “Next Mile to Funding” venture capital network.

New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059433@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191029T165517 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191212T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191212T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:LNF Users Symposium 2019 DESCRIPTION:Building upon the success of past events\, we continue our annual tradition of bringing the whole LNF community together for the 7th year to learn about each other’s work and celebrate the wide variety of research being done at the LNF.

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

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

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784135@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884137@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988444@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Africa,Alumni,Art,European,Exhibition,Media,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190806T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191212T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191212T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice.

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

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

But the molecules and mechanism(s) connecting a dysbiotic microbiome to a specific disease are generally unknown. In an attempt to address this gap\, we undertook a series of screens to link bacterial metabolites with diseases like type 1 diabetes (T1D) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We focused on primary drivers of inflammation like TNFα (tumor necrosis factor alpha) produced by human dendritic cells. This seminar will describe our screening logic\, the selection of candidate bacterial strains\, the discovery of the small molecule regulators of cytokine production\, their structures and biosynthesis\, and inflammatory mechanism. \n\nAbout the speaker:\nJon Clardy obtained his B.S. degree from Yale University and his Ph.D. from Harvard University\, both in chemistry. He has served on the Chemistry Department faculties of Iowa State University and Cornell University\, and he is currently the Hsien Wu & Daisy Yen Wu Professor of Biological Chemistry & Molecular Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School. His research has focused on naturally occurring biologically active small molecules\, their macromolecular targets\, and their roles in biology and medicine. His current interests involve the molecular underpinnings of complex symbiotic systems involving both prokaryotes and eukaryotes\, bacterial influences on animal and plant development\, bacterial communications\, and the influence of the human gut microbiome on human health and disease. He currently lectures in graduate courses and teaches a Freshman Seminar entitled Psychoactive Molecules from Babylon to Breaking Bad to Harvard undergraduates.

The data explores the premise that the type of surface bonding will influence the resultant electronic properties of the interface. Results from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy\, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy\, microwave conductivity\, and electrochemical measurements of as prepared silicon electrode surfaces will be detailed and discussed. Overall\, these findings suggest two points. First\, Si-C bonds more directly eliminate and prevent surface defects in possible device applications. Second\, covalently attached viologens are possible platforms for studying electron transfer between Si and fixed redox acceptors.\nTaylor Bramlett\, Michael Bellas\, Giacomo Di Mauro\, Takunda Chazovachii\, Wenhao Shao\, Brianna Barbu\, Taylor Soucy\, Robert Vasquez UID:69051-17222091@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69051 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190916T130413 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20191212T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20191212T131500 SUMMARY:Meeting:SUPPORT GROUP FOR NEW MOMS RETURNING TO WORK DESCRIPTION:The Faculty & Staff Counseling & Consultation Office (FASCCO) is offering an ongoing drop-in style support group for women returning to work following the birth and/or adoption of a child.

Haran\nAssociate Professor\nUniversity of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign\n\nAmbitious goals have been set for future transport aircraft to ensure the sustainability of the aviation industry. This includes a better than 70% reduction in fuel burn. These challenging goals require disruptive technologies beyond the current evolutionary trends. One approach being explored is the use of electric/hybrid-electric propulsion. Small electric aircraft are already being produced and offered commercially\, but significant challenges prevent scaling up to commercial aviation. Technology gaps include the availability of lightweight batteries\, motors\, generators and transmission lines. In a recent report\, the National Academy of Engineers has identified power levels and specific-power targets for electrical machines to enable the electrification of different classes of aircraft. Both cryogenic and non-cryogenic machines are being pursued to meet these requirements\, and significant advances have made in the last few years. Risks remain in their practical implementation in actual aircraft. This talk will describe the state of the art in airborne electrical machines\, approaches for attaining higher power and efficiency\, and potential challenges and opportunities in the integration of these technologies in electric/hybrid electric aircraft. Experience from a NASA NRA to develop a high specific power 1-MW motor will also be shared. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nKiruba Haran obtained his BS in Electrical Engineering from OAU in Nigeria\, and a PhD from RPI in Troy\, NY. He is an Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Associate Director of the Grainger Center for Electrical Machines and Electromechanics. Over the past five years Kiruba has been working with NASA and industry partners on high specific power motors and drives for electrified aircraft. Prior to this\, he was at GE Research for 13 years\, developing electrical machine technology for multiple GE businesses. His contributions include demonstration of a multi-megawatt superconducting generator for the US AFRL\, which could enable a range of airborne applications including hybrid electric propulsion for large transport aircraft. Kiruba is a former chair of the Electric Machinery Committee of the IEEE Power and Energy Society\, and serves on the Steering Committee of the IEEE Transportation Electrification Community\, the AIAA Aircraft Electrified Propulsion and Power Working Group\, and the editorial board of the IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion. He is an IEEE Fellow and Associate Fellow of AIAA.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nThe exhortation to be true to oneself is often intended to empower\, but it can actually promote apprehension because instructions are rarely provided. Thus\, many shy away from what is true to self\, take on inauthentic behaviors to fit into their work environments\, or at worst\, turn to harsh transparency\, alienating those around them. In this session\, Hewlin will share how people can be authentic “on their own terms” by identifying their thresholds of authenticity as well as personal values that can be integrated into the workplace to: increase work engagement\, foster positive relationships\, and enhance overall personal well-being.\n\nAbout Hewlin:\nPatricia Faison Hewlin is the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs\, and Associate Professor in the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University. She is also a visiting professor at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu\, China. Prior to joining academia\, she was a Vice President for Citi\, where she managed financial centers in New York City. \n\nHewlin conducts research on how organization members and leaders engage in authentic expression\, as well as factors that impede authenticity in the workplace. Her research has primarily centered on employee silence\, and the degree to which members suppress personal values and pretend to embrace organizational values\, a behavior she terms as “creating facades of conformity.” Her most recent research explores authenticity from a cross-cultural perspective\, and how organizations\, particularly leaders can leverage diverse and divergent authentic self-expressions among followers\, while promoting positive work interactions and productivity. \n\nHewlin is published in several academic journals including Academy of Management Journal\, Academy of Management Review\, Organization Science\, Journal of Applied Psychology\, Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology\, and Journal of Chinese Management. She has also contributed to the Globe and Mail\, Huffington Post\, Getting Smart\, and Harvard Business Review. \n\nOn a personal note\, Hewlin enjoys traveling\, solving puzzles\, and quiet moments with her family.\n\nHost: \nJane Dutton\, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations\; Robert L.

Great destruction events ravaged the Eastern Mediterranean at this time\, including the destruction of the palaces at Mycenae\, Midea\, Tiryns\, and Pylos\, the desolation of Enkomi on Cyprus\, the burning of Ras Shamra in Syria\, and the sacking of Hattusa in Anatolia. \n\nThe question that must be asked is\, how many of these sites were actually destroyed? And for those that were\, was the destruction caused by man in the form of revolutions\, intersite conflict\, and foreign invaders? Or by nature in the form of devastating earthquakes? The goal of this talk is to demonstrate just how much was destroyed at the end of the Late Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean and what this indicates for the multiple theories that utilize destruction as a prime mover in the collapse of Bronze Age civilizations.\n\nReception at the Kelsey Museum at 5:30 PM\, lecture to follow at 6:00 PM.\n\nFAST lectures are free and open to the public.

Brophy’s Private Equity Finance course. \n\nFor this highly anticipated interclass challenge\, each student team will present a detailed proposal for a private-equity takeover of an existing public company. A judge’s panel composed of private equity investors and investment practitioners will rank the teams by the quality\, comprehensiveness and attractiveness (in terms of projected return on investment) of their public-to-private buyout pitches. Then the judges will narrow the competitive field to two semi-finalists. \n\nDuring the “Bake-off\,” the Blau Colloquium audience of students\, alumni and sponsors will cast popular votes for the semifinalist team with the best buyout pitch. The winner will receive the Brophy-Gelband Merit Scholarship and take home $7\,500 in prize money. The runner-up will receive $2\,500.\n\n“Alan Gelband\, an alum and great friend of U-M Ross\, joins us in facilitating student access to opportunities in the private equity and alternative investment field\,” Professor Brophy says. “Graduates of this and other Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance (CVP) courses and competitions are now private equity fund leaders globally and providing continued support for our programs and conferences.” \n\nAt the beginning of the fall term\, Professor Brophy assigned the student teams to select and evaluate a middle-market public company for a possible “model” private-equity acquisition. The students used publicly available financial records to assess the company’s management\, revenue\, profits and market position\, and subsequently to project the estimated return on investment for private equity investors. Based on this extensive information gathering and financial analysis\, each team formulated a buyout pitch for the target company it had chosen.\n\nAlan Gelband\, BBA ’65\, MBA ’67\, the benefactor for the annual Bake-off award\, says the public-to-private buyout competition serves both as a learning tool for students and a talent pipeline for the PE industry. \n“This is an important exercise for anyone who wants to get into private equity\, which is a leader of business evolution today\,” says Gelband\, the founder and managing director at Gelband & Co. investment banking.\n\nOther Ross and CVP alumni and regional private equity investors who volunteer as judges also play a formative role during the annual Bake-off competition by providing constructive feedback on the teams’ buyout pitches and suggesting ways to strengthen their written and oral presentations. This year’s roster of judges includes investors from regional and national private equity firms.\n***\nFor more information\, contact Professor David Brophy at djbrophy@umich.edu or 734.764.7587 or Karen Phelps at klweber@umich.edu or 734.763-0267.

Since 2007\, it has become a yearly tradition for The Ragbirds to present this unique family-friendly holiday show called Ebird & Friends. The songs and artists change from year to year\, but the spirit of the event is community\, the soul is creativity and the show is unforgettable. \"Ebird\"is Erin Zindle\, lead singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of The Ragbirds. Erin’s budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together\, and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered\, and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including Ragbirds' original songs inspired by the holiday. This show has become a phenomenon—it's up to four presentations this year for its 12th anniversary\, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
