An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

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:58562-15784162@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:63803-15884164@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:68063-16988471@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:20190930T181751 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

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.

In response to letters from a Black neuroscience major and a non-binary biochemistry and biophysics major\, every STEM department wrote a letter of support\, pledging to work with students to address their concerns. The following semester\, Chemistry professor Sheila Jaswal collaborated with students to develop a project-based course\, titled “Being Human in STEM” (HSTEM)\, to actively engage STEM students and departments in learning about and enhancing inclusion in STEM settings. Now in its sixth iteration\, students drive the academic inquiry\, investigating both the local experience and the literature on diversity in STEM. They then use that research to design tools and interventions to share with and enhance their own STEM community.  In this seminar\, Professor Jaswal will describe how HSTEM course projects and activities have continued the conversation started by students during the Uprising\, connected STEM inclusion efforts across the Amherst campus\, and produced resources such as the “Inclusive Curricular Practices” handbook\, that have been used by STEM educators from high schools\, colleges\, universities\, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Inclusive Excellence institutions. She will present evidence on the impact of the HSTEM course and practices on students\, faculty and staff at Amherst\, and provide examples of how a growing network of institutions\, including Yale\, Brown\, Williams\, and the University of Utah\, are adapting the HSTEM model to their own STEM community needs. \n\nPlease visit website for more information on speaker: http://www.beinghumaninstem.com/sheila-jaswal.html UID:69259-17275351@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69259 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Astronomy,Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biophysics,Biophysics Program,Biosciences,Chemistry,Complex Systems,Diversity,Diversity Equity And Inclusion,Ecology,Life Science,Mathematics,Mechanical Engineering,Natural Sciences,Pharmacy,Physics,Pre Med,Pre-Health,Science LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheater -4th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191223T132827 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:Celebrating MLK DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr’s birthday\, the Grosse Ile Quartet presents a program in honor of his life and legacy.

Against the background of long-term economic downturn\, growing social precarity\, and nuclear anxiety\, Abe’s recently published book investigates how this seemingly outdated means of advertisement has recently gained traction as an aesthetic\, economic\, and political practice after decades of inactivity. Drawing on the book\, this presentation will address the central analytic hibiki (resonance)\, which highlights the processes in which chindon-ya’s sound is designed to elicit an affective response from a listener who simply “overhears” chindon-ya in public spaces.\n \nMarié Abe is Associate Professor of Music in the Department of Musicology and Ethnomusicology at Boston University. Broadly speaking\, her scholarship explores the intersection of sound\, space\, and sociality\, bridging sound studies and cultural human geography. Her recent projects examine the politics of sound in social movements\, in the contexts of anti-US military movements in Okinawa and post-3.11 Japan\, as well as the musical and historical affinity between Japan and Ethiopia in the 20th century.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Their growth paralleled the rise of the office worker\, women’s evolving roles in the work force\, immigration\, American love of efficiency and novelty\, the growth of cities\, the impact of Prohibition and the Depression\, the labor movement\, and American eating habits. Not one cafeteria from that era remains in New York City today. One particular restaurant\, Dubrow’s Cafeteria in Brooklyn\, was a legendary institution that served as a second home for many of the neighborhood’s elderly residents. Along with another Dubrow’s\, a hub of the Garment Center\, they provided a restaurant cum social club or “third place” for a generation of Jewish New Yorkers.\nNew York City-based photographer Marcia Bricker Halperin documented Dubrow’s and other cafeterias in their waning days\, drawn to the memorable faces and the liveliness and sorrow of urban life in that vanished world.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

The history of Mars\, in particular\, is one of dramatic change that transformed a hospitable environment into the barren land we know today. Deciphering Mars’ geologic past using data from orbiting and landed spacecraft requires using and adapting theory and techniques that were developed for Earth. In return\, Mars offers a unique test for Earth-based theory under alien boundary conditions. In this presentation\, I demonstrate how a mechanistic understanding of surface processes sheds light onto Martian paleohydrology and paleoclimate through two examples: the erosion of bedrock canyons by water\, and the formation of sand ripples by winds. Our results have surprising implications for our understanding of terrestrial landscapes and Mars’ potential as a refugium for early life in the Solar System.

Precision medicine is a movement in clinical practice that seeks to develop therapies tailored for specific patients or subsets of patients. As mounting evidence suggests that the “one size fits all” approach to medicine is ineffective\, my future lab seeks to exploit biomaterials as in vitro culture tools or implantable devices in vivo to understand how patient-specific variables may impact disease onset\, progression\, and treatment. In my talk\, I will describe my past\, present\, and future work in precision biomaterials. During my graduate training with Prof. Lonnie Shea at Northwestern University\, I developed implantable biomaterial scaffolds for the recruitment and early detection of metastatic cancer cells\, which may serve as a platform to capture disseminating tumor cells for downstream precision medicine applications. My current postdoctoral research with Prof. Kristi Anseth at the University of Colorado Boulder is focused on engineering personalized in vitro disease models of aortic valve stenosis using serum from individual aortic valve stenosis patients to culture valve and cardiac fibroblasts and hydrogels as extracellular matrix mimics. I will also share my outlook for future work in exploring sex differences in cardiovascular disorders using precision biomaterials. In sum\, precision biomaterials may serve as tools to improve our understanding of how patient-specific variables impact disease mechanisms and guide more effective diagnostics and treatments for individual patients or subsets of patients.

German\nLangley Associate Professor\nSchool of Aerospace Engineering\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\n\nThe era of electric flight has dawned. Battery specific energy is now reaching levels at which electric aircraft propulsion is feasible for short ranged missions\, and entirely new aviation markets are blossoming by taking advantage of the reduced operating costs of electric aircraft. Electric drones are ubiquitous\, electric flight training aircraft are in production\, and—ushering in the era of urban air mobility—electric urban air taxis are nearing certification. \n\nThis talk will present recent research focused on the conceptual design\, analysis\, and operations of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for urban air mobility (UAM). Specific topics include the development of a battery model appropriate for aircraft sizing and an investigation of the flight performance of canonical eVTOL aircraft configurations. Operations research topics for UAM including demand modeling\, vertiport placement optimization\, and flight scheduling will also be discussed. The talk will conclude by highlighting research and educational opportunities related to electric flight and urban air mobility.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nBrian German is director of the Georgia Tech Center for Urban and Regional Air Mobility (CURAM) and the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) Langley Associate Professor in the Georgia Tech School of Aerospace Engineering. He specializes in configuration design of electric aircraft\, battery electric propulsion modeling\, and operations research problems for innovative scheduled and on-demand air services. His work focuses primarily on new types of electric regional aircraft and eVTOL aircraft for urban air mobility. Prof. German is a founding member and former Chair (2014-2016) of the AIAA Transformational Flight Program Committee\, which was chartered to explore the opportunities of emerging aircraft electric propulsion technologies\, and he is a member of the AIAA Aircraft Electric Propulsion and Power Working Group.

Given the limitations of parent-report measures for assessing the intermittent\, interactive\, and immersive modern media experiences\, Dr. Radesky’s research has attempted to develop novel methods for assessing media use within the family context. Dr. Radesky will review her initial research examining parent mobile device use in public settings and through videorecorded interactions\; discuss development of novel passive sensing methods for assessing the daily patterns of family mobile device use\; and present results from content coding and data privacy analysis. Implications for future research and clinical recommendations will be discussed.\n\nDr. Radesky is an Assistant Professor of Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics at the University of Michigan Medical School. She received her M.D. from Harvard Medical School\, trained in Pediatrics at Seattle Children’s Hospital\, and completed subspecialty training in Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics at Boston Medical Center. Her NIH-funded research examines parent smartphone use and parent-child interaction\, as well as how child self-regulation\, mobile device use\, and interactive media content interact through the preschool years. She was the lead author of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines about media use by young children in 2016. Dr. Radesky also sees patients in Developmental Behavioral Pediatric Clinic at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Ypsilanti Health Center\, where her clinical work focuses on autism\, traumatic stress\, ADHD\, and self-regulation.

Their growth paralleled the rise of the office worker\, women’s evolving roles in the work force\, immigration\, American love of efficiency and novelty\, the growth of cities\, the impact of Prohibition and the Depression\, the labor movement\, and American eating habits. Not one cafeteria from that era remains in New York City today. One particular restaurant\, Dubrow’s Cafeteria in Brooklyn\, was a legendary institution that served as a second home for many of the neighborhood’s elderly residents. Along with another Dubrow’s\, a hub of the Garment Center\, they provided a restaurant-cum-social club or “third place” for a generation of Jewish New Yorkers. New York City-based photographer Marcia Bricker Halperin documented Dubrow’s and other cafeterias in their waning days\, drawn to the memorable faces and the liveliness and sorrow of urban life in that vanished world.\n\nCosponsors: Jean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, Department of Women’s Studies UID:69471-17327206@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69471 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition LOCATION:Lane Hall - Lane Hall Gallery, 1st Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200108T120307 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200116T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:No EEB Thursday Seminar DESCRIPTION:Please return on January 23\, 2020\, for our next seminar!

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 field of Positive Organizational Scholarship asks what people\, groups\, and organizations are like when at their very best. Researchers in the field scientifically examine the best of the human condition. This means researchers use science to learn from excellence. For 18 years\, Quinn has been teaching executives how to understand and apply these accumulating scientific findings. In the process\, he has become increasingly aware that in the world of practice\, like the world of science\, most people do not attend to or learn from excellence. They learn from failure while seeking to reproduce order. In this participative session\, Quinn will explore three questions:\n1. What does it mean to learn from excellence? \n2. How does learning from excellence alter leadership and culture? \n3. What can we do to learn from and create social excellence? \n\nAbout Quinn:\nRobert E. Quinn is the Margaret Elliot Tracy Collegiate Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. His research and writing focus on purpose\, leadership\, culture\, and change. He is one of the co-founders of the field of Positive Organizational Scholarship and a co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations.\n\nIn terms of research\, he is in the top 1% of professors cited in organizational behavior textbooks. He has published 18 books. As a teacher\, Quinn is the recipient of multiple awards. In a recent global survey\, he was named one of the top speakers in the world on the topic of organizational culture and related issues. Last year\, his talk on personal purpose went viral on Facebook and has been viewed over 16 million times.\n\nHost: \nGretchen Spreitzer\, Keith E. and Valerie J.

So far the singer-songwriter and violinist has appeared in 43 states and 7 countries – she’s graced the stage of renowned venues like Nashville’s Music City Roots\, The Kennedy Center and House of Blues Chicago. Lea performs from her electric wheelchair. She began playing the violin 25 years ago after a creative music teacher helped her to adapt a playing style that suits her frame. Lea holds her instrument like a tiny cello and loops her classically trained rhythms and melodies with her Memory Man pedal to create a “symphonic cacophony that is both glorious in its reach and profoundly introspective\,” Her original songs explore the contrasting nature of existence – dark and light\, birth and death\, anger and forgiveness\, sorrow and joy. In addition to performing and recording\, Lea also does speaking engagements about disability rights\, finding inner freedom\, and accessibility in the arts. In recent years\, she has used her music as a platform to advocate for people with disabilities and to promote positive social change.

Putrefaction \"pre-digests\" meat without the need for cooking. Anaerobic bacteria rapidly colonize decomposing meat\, inhibiting the germination of pathogens such as *Clostridium botulinum* (botulism). Bacterial fermentation also prevents fats from becoming rancid and preserves vitamin C\, eliminating the threat of scurvy. Psychological studies indicate that the revulsion shown by Euro-Americans toward putrid meat is learned\, not hard-wired\, and emerges surprisingly late in children.\n\nAbundant ethnohistoric evidence shows that rotted meat was not a starvation food but a prized and nutritionally vital component of forager diets in northern environments. I suggest that eating rotted meat would have been of similar importance to Eurasian Neanderthals and modern humans occupying broadly similar environments and subsisting on heavily meat-based diets. I then briefly explore the implications of these ideas for understanding the later Pleistocene archaeological and isotopic record in northern Eurasia.\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society.\nTo learn more about the MAS\, please visit miarch.org.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this lecture\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) as soon as possible.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Most methods assume that we observe all confounders\, variables that affect both the causal variables and the outcome variables. But whether we have observed all confounders is a famously untestable assumption. We describe the deconfounder\, a way to do causal inference from observational data allowing for unobserved confounding.\n\nHow does the deconfounder work? The deconfounder is designed for problems of multiple causal inferences: scientific studies that involve many causes whose effects are simultaneously of interest. The deconfounder uses the correlation among causes as evidence for unobserved confounders\, combining unsupervised machine learning and predictive model checking to perform causal inference. We study the theoretical requirements for the deconfounder to provide unbiased causal estimates\, along with its limitations and tradeoffs. We demonstrate the deconfounder on real-world data and simulation studies.

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:58562-15784163@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:63803-15884165@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.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

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:63842-15931521@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:20200119T230127 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civil Rights through the Lens of Declan Haun DESCRIPTION:A collection of photos capturing some of the most important events during the civil rights movement.

The coverage of each scenario is captured by an individual submodular function\, where the scenario is said to be covered when its function value goes above a given threshold. We obtain a logarithmic factor approximation algorithm for this adaptive ranking problem\, which is the best possible (unless P = NP). This problem unifies and generalizes many previously studied problems with applications in search ranking and active learning. The approximation ratio of our algorithm either matches or improves the best result known in each of these special cases. Furthermore\, we extend our results to an adaptive vehicle routing problem\, where costs are determined by an underlying metric. This routing problem is a significant generalization of the previously-studied adaptive traveling salesman and traveling repairman problems. Our approximation ratio nearly matches the best bound known for these special cases. Finally\, we present experimental results for some applications of adaptive ranking.\n\nBio:\nFatemeh Navidi is a fifth year PhD student in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan\, advised by Professor Viswanath Nagarajan. Her research interests include Combinatorial Optimization Under Uncertainty\, Design and Analysis of Adaptive Approximation Algorithms and Machine Learning.

At the same time\, technologies collectively labelled as brain-computer interfaces have moved forward\, motivated by needs for assistive tools for neurologically impaired people and to advance our fundamental understanding of the brain. An applied example would be the use of electronic means to read out directly from the brain the intention to move an arm or a hand\, and to decipher such signals to actuate an external robotic device. Another example is the\nreading out brain signals produced when listening to or formulating speech. To access brain’s microcircuits at high space-time resolution requires implantation of electronic listening posts\, call them nodes\, at a number of nearby locations in a given functional area of the cortex. Which brings up the question of the day for neuroengineers: how many nodes might be required or are possible to implant\, and how does one physically implement arrays of microscale electronic probes? What are the data rates involved in extracting brain signals and how to design a communication link to send the data onward for decoding by external computing platforms? What about reversing the direction of the process to use implanted probes to deliver signals directly into the brain (‘write-in’)? Through contemporary examples\, this presentation will review recent accomplishments in the field from an electrical engineer’s viewpoint and discuss both the challenges and opportunities ahead to build next generations of brain-computer interfaces while explicitly exploiting many of the early 21st century advances in microelectronics\, telecommunication\, and high end computing.\n\nBio\n\nArto V.

Findings indicate that identifiers did not perceive NASCAR to be high in prestige (compared to other similar collectives) and that their identification was predicted\, primarily\, by “Perceived Opportunity for Authentic Self-Expression” with NASCAR. In addition\, across both studies\, evidence indicates that “patriotism” – a personal value that was difficult for fans to affirm elsewhere – was the most important value that fans perceived they could “self-express” when interacting with NASCAR. These findings suggest that individuals may identify with moderate prestige collectives because they provide rare opportunities to express values that are part of their authentic selves\, and thus\, satisfy these individuals’ “needs for authenticity.” UID:70693-17619582@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70693 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Interdisciplinary LOCATION:Ross School of Business - RO220 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191204T162609 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T160000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:+Impact Studio Winter Open House DESCRIPTION:The +Impact Studio space is a campus hub for design and impact\, located on the second floor of the Executive Learning & Conference Center.  It is designed to be a collaboration area\, and it will serve an educational community passionate about design for impact.   Drop by and see the new space\, enjoy some food\, and invite your friends!  Any time between 2 and 4 pm.\n\nInformation about the space will be provided via video screens and printed materials\, and the event will feature interactive activities.

Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback\, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.

Convection of the Earth’s silicate mantle is qualitatively regarded as the primary driving force for tectonic processes\; however\, the manner in which this integrated system operates remains fundamentally unclear. A critical obstacle is our lack of understanding the first-order\, dynamical nature of mantle convection. Seismological observations are increasingly finding evidence for compositional and thermal heterogeneity over multiple length scales within Earth’s mantle. However\, the manner in which this heterogeneity affects mantle dynamics remains poorly understood\, and several competing hypotheses of large-scale\, thermochemical mantle convection currently exist. It is important to distinguish which\, if any\, of these conceptual models are representative of the actual Earth because each has significantly different consequences toward our understanding of heat and mass transport\, thermal and chemical evolution\, and the driving forces that generate plate tectonics. Numerical modeling of mantle convection\, combined with seismic\, geochemical\, and geologic observations\, provides a powerful tool to explore the dynamical feasibility of particular hypotheses and to provide observational predictions that can be tested by geophysical methods. Here\, I will review recent progress toward discovering the nature of large-scale mantle convection within Earth’s interior by combining geodynamical modeling with geochemical and seismological observations of compositional heterogeneity within the mantle.

Spoken English interpretation will be provided.\n\nABSTRACT\nThe term “intersectionality” appears frequently in the popular and academic discourse\, but the definition is unclear to many people. Intersectionality\, coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw\, is defined as “the interlocking nature of social categorizations that are relevant to a given individual or group subjected to systemic oppression and discrimination.” Through the case of Black ASL and Black Deaf individuals’ experiences\, the audience will better understand the elements of intersectionality and the interconnection of the U.S. educational\, political\, and cultural institutions from 1860s to present. The audience will come away with a deeper understanding of the relationship between systemic oppression and intersectionality and with a willingness to move toward social justice and liberation.\n\nAccessibility: \nRamp entrances are located on the NE and NW side of building.

The development and deployment of promising\, low-carbon energy technologies that could facilitate this transition—including nuclear power—is severely constrained by non-technical factors\, including economics\, but especially socio-political factors. This talk will present two new\, interdisciplinary methods for evaluating some of these constraints. First\, recent research on the performance of U.S. advanced fission innovation will be presented: this research has generated a new approach for evaluating technology development programs sponsored by the federal government. Second\, insights will be presented from a recent study on the role of public opposition in constraining the deployment of nuclear power for decarbonization. This research is being extended to endogenously integrate societal preferences regarding energy technologies into energy system optimization models. Failure to integrate socio-political constraints leads to mathematically feasible\, but socially unacceptable\, decarbonization pathways\, rendering greenhouse gas mitigation yet more difficult. This new wave of research\, grounded in industrial engineering and the decision sciences\, seeks to inform the design of emerging energy systems and to improve decision making by technology developers\, policy makers\, and researchers. \n\nSpeaker Bio\nAhmed Abdulla is Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. His research investigates the deployment of emerging energy systems\; specifically\, it optimizes the design of these energy systems and seeks to integrate real-world constraints into energy system models. Dr. Abdulla’s work has been supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation\, among others. Results from his research have been published in leading journals\, including \"Nature Climate Change\" and the \"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\;\" they have also been featured in the \"Wall Street Journal\,\" \"Bloomberg News\" and \"The Los Angeles Times.\" Prior to Carnegie Mellon\, Dr. Abdulla was Assistant Research Scientist in the Center for Energy Research at the University of California\, San Diego. He holds a PhD in Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University and a BS in Chemical Engineering from Princeton University.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor.\n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\n>> About the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\n#skyshapes\n\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist\, artist\, historian\, librarian\, developer\, educator. He’s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences\, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems\, some of his own making and some from other people.

Refreshments will be served. At 6:15pm there will be a special performance by Detroit-based artist Sacramento Knoxx in collaboration with Bianca Millar & White Feather Woman.\n\nTaking a Stand is a group exhibition that brings together lively and energetic work that highlights the ways in which artists build solidarity and shape contemporary culture as active participants in our society. The works in the exhibition encompass photography\, interactive drawings\, augmented reality\, and 3-D film installation. The collectivist impulse of the projects recast the gallery as a catalyst\, a site of action and possibility for urgent and meaningful dialogue on culture and politics. The immersive and interactive installations don’t just represent social concerns from our cosmopolitan present\, they delve into playful and poetic exchanges with public audiences on empathy and decoloniality to imagine just and equitable futures. Drawing on the themes of science fiction\, artists in the exhibition invite audiences to time travel\, blurring fact with fiction\, weaving fantastical narratives and desires with ancestral knowledge\, collective memories\, and stories from their natural and urban environments. They acknowledge the vitality of recuperating Indigenous\, migrant\, and LGBTQ subjectivities and practices to better understand how to heal our damaged planet. Even though these installations are temporary and ephemeral\, they foster vibrant liminal spaces for the public to explore what could be done during this time of ever-present ecological and political change. Taking a Stand is curated by Srimoyee Mitra.\n\nImage: Meryl McMaster\, Cartography of the Unseen (detail)\, 2019. \n\nPlease RSVP to reserve your place for this free event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/taking-a-stand-exhibition-opening-reception-tickets-86579925889 UID:70657-17613298@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70657 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Music,Reception LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200114T125812 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200117T210000 SUMMARY:Performance:Ovid's Metamorphoses in a Modern Theatrical Adaptation by Mary Zimmerman DESCRIPTION:Mary Zimmerman’s stage adaptation of The Metamorphoses\n\nDirected and produced by U-M Residential College Drama students Sammi Doll and Riley Russell\n\nUnder guidance from RC Drama Faculty Head\, Kate Mendeloff\, and Keene Theater Manager\, Rudy Thomas\n\n>>>>> Performances:\nFriday\, January 17 at 7pm\nSaturday\, January 18 at 7pm\nSunday\, January 19 at 7pm\n\nAll performances at the Keene Theater\, 701 East University.

During his years as lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket\, the band’s elegant folk/pop sound and his honest\, introspective lyrics helped them forge a close bond with their fans. Since starting his solo career\, Phillips has pared his music down to its emotional core\, concentrating on the simple truths of love and relationships\, with a profound spiritual understanding.\n\nThe zeitgeist is a moving target\, and Chris Barron has always been a crack shot. The New York songwriter is no longer the debutant who set out on the circuit’s sharp end in 1988 with $100\, a battered acoustic and a headful of the alt-rock anthems that would elevate Spin Doctors to global stardom. He’s a veteran approaching 50\, living in a world changed beyond recognition\, compelled to write the music that chronicles the here-and-now.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

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:58562-15784164@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.

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:68063-16988473@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:20190930T181751 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200118T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200118T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

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.

In the books\, King interviews fellow queer and trans artists of color about their work\, their lives\, and “making it” - both in terms of success and in terms of survival. Each event features a guest artist who will speak about their own practice and lead a group discussion on a topic from the book. Everyone is welcome to attend.\n\nThe Queer & Trans Artists of Color Book Read Event Series is organized by Stamps Gallery and presented in partnership with the U-M Spectrum Center with support from the Ann Arbor District Library. It is sponsored by the U-M Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion.\n\nPurchase copies of the Queer & Trans Artists of Color books here.\n\nFor more information about this event or the Queer & Trans Artists of Color Book Read Event Series contact\, Stamps Gallery Outreach and Public Engagement Coordinator Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan at jenjkhan@umich.edu or (734) 615-5322.\n\nAbout Taking a Stand\n\nTaking a Stand is a group exhibition that brings together lively and energetic work that highlights the ways in which artists build solidarity and shape contemporary culture as active participants in our society. The works in the exhibition encompass photography\, interactive drawings\, augmented reality\, and 3-D film installation. The collectivist impulse of the projects recast the gallery as a catalyst\, a site of action and possibility for urgent and meaningful dialogue on culture and politics. The immersive and interactive installations don’t just represent social concerns from our cosmopolitan present\, they delve into playful and poetic exchanges with public audiences on empathy and decoloniality to imagine just and equitable futures. Drawing on the themes of science fiction\, artists in the exhibition invite audiences to time travel\, blurring fact with fiction\, weaving fantastical narratives and desires with ancestral knowledge\, collective memories\, and stories from their natural and urban environments. They acknowledge the vitality of recuperating Indigenous\, migrant\, and LGBTQ subjectivities and practices to better understand how to heal our damaged planet. Even though these installations are temporary and ephemeral\, they foster vibrant liminal spaces for the public to explore what could be done during this time of ever-present ecological and political change. Taking a Stand is curated by Srimoyee Mitra.\n\nDownload printable PDF schedule of events for this series: Queer & Trans Artists of Color Book Read Series: January 18\, February 8\, and March 14 \n\nPlease RSVP to reserve your place for this free event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/exhibition-tour-queer-trans-artists-of-color-book-read-event-1-tickets-85182975573 UID:70658-17613299@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70658 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200130T092006 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200118T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200118T153000 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.

This music (generically known as kugak\, national music) can be soothing and calm\, brash and jarring\, mysterious and provocative\; it is all the substance of nature and humanity in expressive\, resonant form. The roots of Korean genres are diverse. Aristocratic genres draw on the strong influence of China’s silk and bamboo repertoire\, shamanic rhythms\, melodies and textures form the foundation for folk performance\, and the exuberance and anguish of everyday life shape the roots of folk song. In this performance/lecture\, we take you on a journey through the sonorities of Korea’s musical tradition with a focus on four instruments: the 12-string zither\, kayagŭm\; the large transverse bamboo flute\, taegŭm\; the two-string spike fiddle\, haegŭm\; the hourglass-shaped drum\, changgu (three of which are present in the Stearns collection). Through presentations of solo and ensemble repertoire\, we will explore the sound aesthetics embodied through instrument form as well as the ways by which instrument sound can diversify depending on performance history and context. The aesthetics of Korean court and folk-based genres include emphasis on melodic line progression\, microtonal shadings\, asymmetrical and additive rhythmic cycles\, and heterophonic texture for ensemble performance. The presentation is a rare opportunity to experience Korean traditional performance in an accessible and open setting.\n\nCosponsored by the U-M Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

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:58562-15784165@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:63803-15884167@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.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

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.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Munich\, Germany\, is one of the cities many Syrian refugees land after crossing unofficial borders through different European countries. Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury\, and her art collective Dictaphone Group\, collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who had recently arrived in Munich. El Khoury gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day\, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich. Together they produced three videos\, presented in this installation and viewed from bunk bed barracks in the gallery. \n\n“As Far As My Fingertips Take Me” An intimate\, one-to-one performance piece\, presented in conjunction with UMS.\n\nFriday\, January 24 thru Sunday\, February 2\, performances take place every 15 minutes from 4-9 pm weekdays and 12-5 pm weekends.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\n#skyshapes\n\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist\, artist\, historian\, librarian\, developer\, educator. He’s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences\, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems\, some of his own making and some from other people. He has a BFA from Washington University\, an MS from Oxford\, and a PhD from Columbia University in chemistry. Lancaster is based in Rutherford\, NJ where he freelances as a product developer and educational & business consultant. He is co-founder and chief technology officer of Fondo\, a startup focused on helping young people visualize their paths into the future of work via structured serendipity and exploration. \n\nLee Marchalonis is a Lecturer in Stamps School of Art & Design and lead printer at Signal Return letterpress shop in Detroit’s Eastern Market.

She was a recipient of a year long Stein Scholarship at the Center for Book Arts in New York City in 2013\, and her work is in Special Collections libraries throughout the U.S.\n\nEllen Rutt is a Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist and activist who has a BFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design. She makes bold mixed-media paintings\, murals\, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment\, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo\, Hawaii.\n\nAbout the Curator:\n\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist\, educator\, curator\, and musician based in Southwest Detroit.

Although they favor class-based solidarity\, many Marxists are sharply critical of race-based solidarity and antiracist identity politics. They believe\, for example\, that this form of politics largely serves the interests of the black professional-managerial class. The black working class should\, these leftists think\, seek allies among the broader multiracial working class and in the labor movement. Such Marxists also maintain that race-based politics wrongly subordinates class to race rather than viewing race and class as inextricably related and fundamentally structured by capital-labor relations. I share some of the skepticism that thinkers on the left have toward identity politics and antiracist activism. But they often take their criticisms too far. I offer a partial vindication of black solidarity by responding to what I take to be the most powerful Marxist critiques of it.

Board of Education: The Legacy Continues DESCRIPTION:Cheryl Brown Henderson talks about her personal experience with segregated schools and the story of how Brown v. Board of Education came to be.\n\nThe case was elevated to the U.S. Supreme Court\, which in May of 1954 ruled unanimously that racial segregation in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution\, which prohibits states from denying equal protection of the laws to any person within their jurisdictions. The decision declared that separate educational facilities for white and African American students were inherently unequal.\n\nBrown Henderson is the daughter of the late Reverend Oliver L. Brown who in 1950\, along with 12 other parents in Topeka\, Kansas\, and led by attorneys for the NAACP\, filed suit on behalf of their children against the local Board of Education. Their case joined with cases from other states on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court\, and became known as the landmark decision\, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka\, Kansas.

AHOP exists to create aesthetically rigorous\, intellectually challenging theatre that is also warm\, welcoming\, and inspiring to people from all walks of life. All of our programming moves the company in this direction. We choose our subject matter and themes very carefully with an eye to stories\, topics\, and aesthetic approaches that will be equally thrilling to the most adventurous theatre fans as well as those with less exposure to the form.\n\nhttps://www.ahostofpeople.org/\n\nAbout Cleopatra Boy: \n\nCleopatra Boy brings to light how women (and other non-straight/white/male) leaders’ histories are re-written\, maligned\, or erased. The iconic Egyptian pharaoh’s historic\, mythic\, and fictional representations across time inspired our ensemble to create a performance that speaks to the present moment. A theatrical thought experiment that is part pageant\, part courtroom drama\; our audience will shape-shift from spectators\, to community members\, to witnesses as we collectively address the injustice of losing control of our own narratives in order to rethink and remake history.\n\n---\n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email classics@umich.edu -- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive and welcoming to you.

Selected readings and background materials matched to the case involved\, along with tips/guidance from the CFR Model Diplomacy program will help all participants in their preparation.\n Apart from the first organizational meeting\, each subsequent session will focus on a different foreign policy issue from the CFR case library. If the group wishes\, we may substitute a foreign policy issue of our own choosing to role play. \n Instructor John Fogarasi is both a lecturer and practitioner of U.S. foreign policy\, having taught political science/international affairs earlier in his career and later as a senior U.S. diplomat with over 30 years-service in Europe\, Asia\, and North America.\n Class will meet Monday afternoons from January 20 through February 17th.

A proud Midwesterner\, she splits her time between studios in Chicago and Pentwater\, Michigan. She is recognized for her ethereal paintings and sculptural installations. Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Munich\, Germany\, is one of the cities many Syrian refugees land after crossing unofficial borders through different European countries. Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury\, and her art collective Dictaphone Group\, collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who had recently arrived in Munich. El Khoury gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day\, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts.

She makes bold mixed-media paintings\, murals\, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment\, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo\, Hawaii.\n\nAbout the Curator:\n\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist\, educator\, curator\, and musician based in Southwest Detroit.

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:58562-15784166@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:63803-15884168@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:68063-16988475@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:20190930T181751 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200121T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200121T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

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.

Rodent models of addiction have established that females have a higher propensity for addiction and choose cocaine over food more often and more rapidly than males do. We hypothesize that the sex differences observed in drug seeking are due\, in part\, to differences in the underlying neurobiology of the reward circuitry between the sexes. Utilizing rodents in a choice self-administration behavioral paradigm eventually some rats develop a preference for cocaine over a palatable food reward over the course of seven weeks. Using in vivo microdialysis in the dorsal striatum and contralateral nucleus accumbens\, this set of experiments repeatedly characterized cocaine-induced dopamine increases during self-administration in the choice paradigm.

Understanding the rules that govern these systems and how they behave in time is fundamental\, but it is also of practical importance since it concerns the maintenance of biodiversity in the face of global change. In this talk I combine results from experiments in manipulable communities of small animals and microorganisms with math modeling\, and large scale analyses of functional trait information to advance our understanding of the organizational principles linking ecosystems across scales: from individuals’ traits\, to the assembly of ecological networks\, and the emergence of macroscopic spatial patterns. These findings contribute insights into how local and spatial dynamics interact to influence large scale properties of ecosystems. But they also lead to new questions about the rules of life\, highlighting the strong need for a refinement of theoretical methods\, more large scale field observations\, and creative laboratory experiments that leverage modern technologies.

The performance (which at first unfolds chronologically and then repeats certain interactions with different faculty behavioral choices) is interspersed with facilitated discussion. Together\, audiences examine the productive and problematic behaviors and attitudes on display in the instructor’s choices\, and receive research-based strategies and campus resources to help them better support students. This session is appropriate for faculty\, graduate student instructors\, and academic leaders.\nIn this session\, participants will: \n\nFamiliarize themselves with current information about the landscape of student mental health issues.\nIdentify principles that can productively shape instructor interactions with students in mild to moderate distress.\nReflect on how their own practice of supporting students in distress might be informed by these principles.\nReceive information about relevant campus resources\, proactive ways of supporting student well-being\, and steps to take to support a student in high distress.\n\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/7ZrxB.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

This talk asks why this has come to be\, and explores the practices and cultural politics of Tibetan youth entrepreneurship.\n \nEmily T. Yeh is Professor of Geography at the University of Colorado Boulder. She researches development and nature-society relations\, particularly in Tibetan parts of the PRC. This has included studies of the political ecology of pastoralism\, vulnerability to and indigenous knowledge of climate change\, ideologies of nature and nation\, and emerging environmental identities and grassroots environmental activism. Her book \"Taming Tibet: Landscape Transformation and the Gift of Chinese Development\" explored the intersection of the political economy and cultural politics of development as a project of state territorialization. She has also co-edited a number of books and special issues including \"Mapping Shangrila: Contested Landscapes in the Sino-Tibetan Borderlands\,\" \"The Geoeconomics and Geopolitics of Development and Investment in Asia\,\" and \"Rural Politics in Contemporary China.\"\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

We’re conditioned to the binary options of either failure or success. In reality\, failure is a lot more nuanced and can even be intentional – to “test things out.” \n\nPeter Adriaens is a professor of engineering\, finance and entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan with appointments in three Schools. Join him as he tells three short stories from his career on failure and risk taking - and the lessons learned to achieve positive outcomes. \n\nFailure and risk taking are close cousins. It’s those risk takers who embrace this relation who can flip the fear of failure into the anticipation of opportunity. \n\nFood will be provided. Limited capacity.\n\nRSVP today!

Significant advances have been made in understanding and treating cancer\, however\, there remain many unknowns\, especially in the arena of how and why particular diseases become aggressive and metastasize. We are specifically interested in the roles that macrophages\, and separately\, altered circadian rhythms\, play in cancer. Our work has focused on their investigation via generation and use of platforms that enable detection and tracking in biologically-relevant models\, followed by perturbation and study of those systems with small molecules. Macrophages have the ability to interconvert between immune stimulating- and suppressing-subtypes\, and are recruited and contribute to oncogenic microenvironments. Because many breast tumors generate macrophage chemoattractants\, we are taking advantage of this characteristic and developing cell-based imaging and drug delivery agents via chemical modification of the cells' surfaces. We are also engineering macrophages to possess reporters in order to discern phenotypes\, and probing phenotypic conversion via small molecules. My research program is also involved in determining the significance of circadian rhythms in breast cancer. Epidemiological evidence has shown that alteration of circadian rhythms is correlated with worse patient prognosis and drug resistance. We are assessing circadian rhythms in cell culture models of cancer\, and using small molecules to modulate these rhythms in an effort to understand the link between altered circadian rhythms and disease. Our work is intended to not only shed new light on contributors to cancer\, but also provide new targets and drugs for treatments.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nMichelle Farkas (University of Massachusetts Amherst) UID:71647-17853447@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71647 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200121T181705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200121T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200121T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Probes of Novel Electronic States in Mesoscopic and 2D Quantum Materials DESCRIPTION:Recent advances in the development of exfoliated 2D materials and other mesoscopic systems (e.g. semiconducting nanowires) have led to the discovery of intriguing topological\, magnetic\, and superconducting states. However\, many bulk probes which have been invaluable in understanding complex electronic states such as those found in high-temperature superconductors are no longer applicable. Additionally\, many scanned probes which can study physics on the nanoscale are incompatible with the highest quality\, state-of-the-art 2D materials-based devices which rely on encapsulation with hexagonal boron nitride. In this talk I will present magnetic imaging studies of more traditional mesoscopic systems\, including imaging current distributions in micron-scale devices and studying novel nanowire-based superconducting devices. Secondly\, I will describe more recent work realizing low-disorder graphene devices which facilitated the discovery of new topological states of matter. Finally\, I will discuss prospects for studying 2D materials both with magnetic imaging and on-chip THz spectroscopy using superconductivity in exfoliated flakes as an example.\n UID:71240-17794027@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71240 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200114T170327 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200121T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200121T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Event. International Liberation and Nonviolent Noncooperation: Martin Luther King and Afro-Asia DESCRIPTION:The nonviolent activism of the Rev. Martin Luther King\, Jr. is associated in the minds of many primarily with the Civil Rights Movement against institutionalized racism in Jim Crow America. King was\, however\, a keen observer of decolonization and the awakening of colonized peoples in Afro-Asia to aspirations for self-determination. This anti-colonial perspective led to his opposition to the Vietnam War. Although King was little involved in the Middle East per se\, having been more focused on African countries such as Ghana\, his vision and his methods have gone on to inspire many civil rights activists in Egypt\, Palestine\, and elsewhere in the region.\n\nJuan Cole is the Richard P.

The influence of the intermediate variable on the outcome is often explored using structural equation models (SEMs)\, with model coefficients interpreted as possible effects. While there has been significant research on the topic in recent years\, little work has been done on mediation analysis when the intermediate variable (mediator) is a high-dimensional vector. In this work we introduce a novel method for mediation analysis in this setting called the directions of mediation (DMs). The DMs represent an orthogonal transformation of the space spanned by the set of mediators\, chosen so that the transformed mediators are ranked based upon the proportion of the likelihood of the full SEM that they explain. We provide an estimation algorithm and establish the asymptotic properties of the obtained estimators. We demonstrate the method using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study of thermal pain where we are interested in determining which brain locations mediate the relationship between the application of a thermal stimulus and self-reported pain.

It is the tallest mixed-use building in the city\, featuring 435\,000 square feet of Class A office space and 67 luxury residences. The architectural vision for the tower includes a tapering\, faceted façade that highlights an integrated mega-frame structural system. A visual recess between the commercial and residential levels functions as both a mechanical space and residential amenity level with a double-height\, open terrace around the perimeter. To maximize usable floor space in the slender tower\, a steel-only lateral force-resisting system was used instead of a more traditional concrete core. The novel damped mega-brace system and uplifting mega- columns enhance the building’s performance under seismic and wind loads while reducing steel tonnage by approximately 25% compared to a more conventional design. The damped braces also eliminate the need for a tuned mass damper in the light structure\, freeing up the penthouse level for a luxury condominium. Transfer structures at level 39 and level 2 carry load to the corner mega-columns to create column-free spaces at the residential amenity level and ground-floor lobby. The project achieved both a LEED Platinum rating as well as the world’s first Resilience-based Earthquake Design Initiative (REDi) Gold rating\, having been designed for immediate re-occupancy and minimal loss of functionality after a design-level earthquake. Resulting from a collaborative effort between the building owner\, design\, and construction teams\, 181 Fremont Tower features an unprecedented design and a pioneering resilience strategy to protect the building and its occupants long into the future.\n\nJason Krolicki is a structural engineer and founding Principal at Resurget Engineering PLC.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina.

She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\n#skyshapes\n\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist\, artist\, historian\, librarian\, developer\, educator. He’s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences\, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems\, some of his own making and some from other people. He has a BFA from Washington University\, an MS from Oxford\, and a PhD from Columbia University in chemistry. Lancaster is based in Rutherford\, NJ where he freelances as a product developer and educational & business consultant.

She makes bold mixed-media paintings\, murals\, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment\, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo\, Hawaii.\n\nAbout the Curator:\n\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist\, educator\, curator\, and musician based in Southwest Detroit.

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:58562-15784167@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:63803-15884169@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.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

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:63842-16390949@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:20200115T133710 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200122T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200122T130000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Welcome MUSES DESCRIPTION:This semester we will have monthly lunches designed to build our community of women of color in STEM field.

Lethal Provocations: Anti-Jewish Violence in French Algeria and Ukraine DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Veidlinger and Joshua Cole will discuss Prof. Cole's new book\, *Lethal Provocation: The Constantine Murders and the Politics of French Algeria\,* with Prof. Veidlinger offering his expertise on Ukrainian pogroms for a comparative perspective.\n \nPart murder mystery\, part social history of political violence\, *Lethal Provocation* is a forensic examination of the deadliest peacetime episode of anti-Jewish violence in modern French history. It reconstructs the 1934 riots in Constantine\, Algeria\, in which tensions between Muslims and Jews were aggravated by right-wing extremists\, resulting in the deaths of twenty-eight people.\n \nAnimating the unrest was Mohamed El Maadi\, a soldier in the French army. Later a member of a notorious French nationalist group that threatened insurrection in the late 1930s\, El Maadi became an enthusiastic supporter of France's Vichy regime in World War II\, and finished his career in the German SS. The book cracks the \"cold case\" of El Maadi's participation in the events\, revealing both his presence at the scene and his motives in provoking violence at a moment when the French government was debating the rights of Muslims in Algeria. Local police and authorities came to know about the role of provocation in the unrest and killings and purposely hid the truth during the investigation that followed. *Lethal Provocation* brings into high relief the cruelty of social relations in the decades before the war for Algerian independence.\n \nJoshua Cole is professor of history at the University of Michigan\, where he specializes in the social and cultural history of France in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He is the author of *Lethal Provocation: The Constantine Murders and the Politics of French Algeria* (2019) and *The Power of Large Numbers: Population\, Politics\, and Gender in Nineteenth-Century France* (2000)\, as well as articles on colonial violence and the politics of memory in France\, Algeria\, and Germany. He is also the author\, with Carol Symes\, of *Western Civilizations* (20th ed.\, 2019).\n \nJeffrey Veidlinger is Joseph Brodsky Collegiate Professor of History and Judaic Studies and director of the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. He is the author of the award-winning books *The Moscow State Yiddish Theater: Jewish Culture on the Soviet Stage* (2000)\, *Jewish Public Culture in the Late Russian Empire* (2009)\, and *In the Shadow of the Shtetl: Small-Town Jewish Life in Soviet Ukraine* (2013). Prof. Veidlinger is a vice president of the Association for Jewish Studies\, associate chair of the Academic Advisory Council of the Center for Jewish History\, and a member of the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. He is currently working on a book about the pogroms of the Russian Civil War.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

In addition\, harmful algal blooms (HABs) can lead to aerosolization of toxins like microcystins\, which has the potential to lead to exposures to local populations. Given their small size and chemical complexity there is a significant analytical challenge when measuring these environmental contaminants. Herein\, the chemical and physical properties of lake spray aerosol (LSA) from pristine freshwater and HABS are discussed. We will discuss measurements of particles along the coasts of the Great Lakes\, inland\, and aloft at cloud heights from flight measurements using a suite of microscopy\, spectroscopy\, and mass spectrometry measurements. As LSA can be generated and act as CCN\, IN or eject toxic materials from harmful algal blooms\, an improved understanding of LSA emission and physicochemical properties is needed to determine the impacts on meteorology\, climate\, and health in the Great Lakes region.\n\nAndrew Ault is the Dow Corning Assistant Professor of Chemistry in the Chemistry Department at the University of Michigan.

Could our measures need an update? Can we extend these attitudes to gender? I will present a new scale we have developed to look at how people use race and gender in both private and societal contexts and discuss how this measure may help address discrepancies in the literature.\n\nCristine Salvador\nTitle: \nInterdependence in Latin America: Self-assertive and Emotionally Expressive\nAbstract:\nMany cultures outside of Western European and North American cultures are typically described as interdependent and holistic\, due to a stronger emphasis they supposedly place on social relations vs. personal selves. However\, depending on social ecologies of different regions\, there may be varying forms of interdependence across the globe. We expected Latin American culture to sanction both self-assertion (which is thought to be required to protect ingroups) and emotionally expression (which is required to relate socially in ethnically and linguistically heterogeneous groups). This is in stark contrast with East Asian cultures that value self-effacement and emotion suppression (both of which are thought to be conducive to social harmony). To address these possibilities\, we tested Colombians\, Japanese and European Americans (N=550) and observed that (i) Colombians are cognitively as holistic as Japanese (more so than Americans)\, (ii) they are as assertive as Americans (more so than Japanese)\, and (iii) they are emotionally as expressive as Americans (more so than Japanese). However\, the types of emotions that Colombians express are primarily socially engaging\, unlike Americans. Our findings provide the first comprehensive evidence that the form of interdependence common in Latin America is both self-assertive and emotionally expressive\, in stark contrast against the East Asian form that is the most commonly tested in the current literature. They thereby underscores an urgent need to globalize psychological theories.

Some instructors choose group work for logistical reasons\, such as “we only have five testbeds.” Others seek to provide a particular student experience: students can teach and learn from each other\, they can undertake more complicated projects\, and they can develop collaboration skills that will benefit them later in their careers. Whatever the reason for using team-based pedagogies\, instructors must be cognizant of team dysfunctions – some of which are invisible to the instructors or even to members of the team – that can affect certain students’ experiences in our classes. \n\nIn this talk\, I will (1) present evidence that particular groups are more likely to have negative team experiences (and that teamwork is inherently gendered and raced)\, (2) suggest mechanisms for identifying and remedying some team dysfunctions\, and (3) argue that instructors have a moral obligation to critically examine teamwork practices in an attempt to equitably serve our diverse student population.

With advances in supercomputing\, we are beginning to quantitatively understand nuclear structure and interactions directly from the fundamental quark and gluon degrees of freedom. Recent studies provide insight into the neutrino-nucleus interactions relevant to long-baseline neutrino experiments\, double beta decay\, and theory predictions of dark matter cross-sections at underground detectors. I will also address new work constraining the gluonic structure of nuclei\, which will be measurable for the first time at a future electron-ion collider\, and explain how machine learning tools are providing new possibilities in this field.\n UID:70952-17760228@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70952 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190925T113304 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200122T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200122T170000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Department Faculty Meeting with Ann Curzan (English Department) DESCRIPTION:contact audrawil@umich.edu for details.

The Condemnation of Blackness: Race\, Crime\, and Modern Urban America DESCRIPTION:The history of racism in the South is well known—the chain gangs\, lynch mobs and views of black southern criminals that defined the Jim Crow period are\, for the most part\, common knowledge today. But what do we know about the role the urban North played in shaping views on the intersection of race and crime in American society?\n \nIn this talk\, Khalil Gibran Muhammad reveals how the idea of black criminality was crucial to the making of modern urban America\, as were African Americans’ own ideas about race and crime. In the North\, crime statistics\, immigration trends\, and references to America as the “land of opportunity” were woven into a cautionary tale about the threat Black people posed to modern urban society. Excessive arrest rates and overrepresentation in Northern prisons were pointed to by whites—liberals and conservatives alike—as proof of Blacks’ inferiority. The prevailing feeling was that\, in the heyday of “separate but equal\,” what else but pathology could explain Black people’s challenges in the “land of opportunity”?\n \nChronicling the beginning of the deeply embedded notion of Black people as a dangerous race of criminals\, Muhammed explores a different side of the history of racism\, weaving a narrative that is both engaging and educational.\n\nKhalil Gibran Muhammad is author of *The Condemnation of Blackness: Race\, Crime\, and the Making of Modern Urban America*\, which won the John Hope Franklin Best Book Award in American Studies. Also the Suzanne Young Murray Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies. Muhammad is a contributor to a National Research Council study\, *The Growth of Incarceration in the United States: Exploring Causes and Consequences*. Recently\, he also appeared in several popular documentaries\, lending his expertise to Ava DuVernay’s Netflix feature\, *13th \, Slavery By Another Name* (PBS)\, and *Forgotten Four: The Integration of Pro Football*. \n\nMuhammad is the former Director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\, a division of the New York Public Library and the world’s leading library and archive of global black history. Much of his research focuses on racial criminalization in modern U.S. history. His work has been featured in a number of f national print and broadcast media outlets\, including *The New York Times*—notably as one of the contributors to its’ viral *1619 Project*\, which explores and exposes the true history of slavery in America—*The New Yorker\, The Washington Post\, NPR*\, and *MSNBC*. Muhammad was an associate editor of *The Journal of American History* and prior Andrew W. Mellon fellow at the Vera Institute of Justice. He holds a Ph.D. from Rutgers University\, two honorary doctorates\, and is on the board of The Museum of Modern Art\, The Barnes Foundation\, and *The Nation* magazine. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to umichhumanrights@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.
