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.

The landscape shrines in this exhibit combine her work as an environmental artist with the experience of that pristine\, remote\, beautiful\, and at risk environment. The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting\, monotype\, photography\, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change. Meant to bring complex ideas and big emotions into a size one can literally hold in one’s hands\, the works have charred exteriors and bright colors and metal leaf echoing traditional Tibetan iconography in depicting the beauty and spiritual power of high places. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \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. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \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.

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:68063-16988474@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:20200117T181659 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200119T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200119T180000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Cooking Community: Dumplings DESCRIPTION:Come be in community\, learn how to make delicious dumplings\, help feed your fellow students\, and learn about food justice initiatives going on at U-M.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

The number of space objects larger than 10 cm is presently approaching 21\,000\, the estimated population of objects between 1 and 10cm is about 500\, 000\, and for objects smaller than 1cm the number exceeds 100 million. Both the number of space objects and the number of conflicts between these objects are increasing exponentially. \n\nThis talk overviews the research we have been pursuing on to address the challenges posed by the growth of space debris. We will first introduce the Modified Chebyshev-Picard Iteration (MCPI) Methods\, which are a set of parallel-structured methods for solution of initial value problems and boundary value problems. The MCPI methods have been recommended as the “promising and parallelizable method for orbit propagation” by the National Research Council. The talk will then highlight our recent results to develop a methodology to predict RSOs trajectories both higher accuracy and higher reliability than those of the current methods. Inspired by the learning theory through which the models are learnt based on large amounts of data and the prediction can be conducted without explicitly modeling space objects and space environment\, we are working on a new orbit prediction framework that integrates physics-based orbit prediction algorithms with a learning process. Last\, we will present our research in autonomous\, performance-driven\, and online trajectory planning and tracking of space robotics for space debris removal with the goal to solve the problem in real time.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Xiaoli Bai is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey.

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.

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.

As the intersectionality of these factors have important implications for prevention and treatment of obesity\, it is important to investigate the nature by which feeding behaviors may be altered. Sigma 1 receptors have been investigated for their involvement in learning\, rewarding and motivational processes. PD144418\, a potent and selective sigma 1 ligand exhibiting a high affinity and selectivity for sigma 1 receptors\, has been found to produce a dose-dependent attenuation of locomotor activity induced by cocaine and methamphetamine. However\, it was unknown as to whether PD144418 could alter the motivational effort of food-reinforced operant behavior. The current talk will focus on examining the effects of PD144418 on motivational effort of food-reinforced operant behavior\, as well as variables of sex differences and energy deficit.

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:58562-15784168@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:63803-15884170@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:68063-16988477@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:20200123T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T170000 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.

Now\, however\, the fundamental conditions of the trilateral relationship are changing because of a shift in the balance of power\, a loss of confidence on American diplomacy\, US-China competition and the overwhelming importance of the Chinese economy. How will a change in the relationship between Japan\, the United States and China affect the order of Asia? What does improving Japan-China relations mean? Is the Japan-U.S. relationship still strong?\n \nRyo Sahashi is an Associate Professor of International Relations\, Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia\, the University of Tokyo.

To meet the needs of autophagic degradation\, it is critical to maintain sufficient numbers of lysosomes to fuse with autophagosomes that form autolysosomes. Lysosomal biogenesis is regulated by the transcription factor EB (TFEB)\, which is a master transcription regulator of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy.\n\nStudies from our lab revealed that TFEB is impaired in alcoholic hepatitis and pancreatitis as well as in acetaminophen-induced liver injury. Overexpression of TFEB protects against alcohol and drug-induced tissue damage whereas deletion of TFEB exacerbates tissue damage. Studies from our lab also demonstrated that Nrf2\, a transcription factor regulating antioxidant response\, promotes liver injury and liver tumorigenesis in autophagy defective livers. More recently\, our work suggests that both hyper- and hypo-activation of MTOR are detrimental to the liver resulting in the development of liver tumors. Together\, our studies indicate that autophagy and lysosome play critical roles in maintaining liver homeostasis. Approaches to boost autophagy and TFEB pathways\, which are often impaired in chronic liver diseases\, may be promising for treating and preventing liver disease including alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases\, drug-induced liver injury and liver tumorigenesis.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nWen-Xing Ding is a professor in the Department of Pharmacology\, Toxicology and Therapeutics at The University of Kansas Medical Center. He received his Ph.D. from the National University of Singapore in 2002 and completed his postdoctoral training at the University of Pittsburgh. Ding has devoted his research career to elucidating mechanisms for regulation of cell death and the adaptive response to cellular injury in the liver. Since 2009\, his laboratory has been working on the role of autophagy in alcohol- and drug-induced liver injury. They are particularly interested in how autophagy selectively removes cellular damaged/excess organelles\, such as mitochondria and lipid droplets in hepatocytes. Ding has published more than 120 papers in peer-reviewed journals\, and his work is currently supported by NIAAA and NIDDK.\n\nIn addition to research\, Ding has demonstrated outstanding leadership for service. He has been a program committee member of ASIP (American Society of Investigative Pathology) and the AASLD (American Association for the Studies of Liver Disease) 2015 annual meeting. He organized several meetings and symposia for EB meeting\, AASLD and GRC. He serves as an associate editor for the journal Autophagy and an editorial board member for several journals\, including Hepatology\, Cell and the American Journal of Pathology. He also serves as an ad hoc reviewer for NIH grants and a standing member of XNDA.

Technoculture is the American mythos (Dinerstein 2006) and ideology\; a belief system powering the coercive\, political\, and carceral relations between culture and technology. Once enslaved\, historically disenfranchised\, never deemed literate\, Blackness is understood as the object of Western technical and civilizational practices. This presentation is a critical intervention for internet research and science and technology studies (STS)\, reorienting Western technoculture’s practices of “race-as-technology” (Chun 2009) to visualize Blackness as technological subjects rather than as “things”. Hence\, Black technoculture. Utilizing critical technocultural discourse analysis (Brock 2018)\, Afro-optimism\, and libidinal economic theory\, this presentation employs Black Twitter as an exemplar of Black cyberculture: digital practice and artifacts informed by a Black aesthetic.\n\nAndré Brock is an associate professor of media studies at Georgia Tech. His scholarship examines racial representations in videogames\, black women and weblogs\, whiteness\, blackness\, and digital technoculture\, as well as innovative and groundbreaking research on Black Twitter. His forthcoming book titled Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures will be published with NYU Press in February 2020\, offering an innovative approach to understanding Black everyday lives mediated by digital technologies.\n\nFree and open to the public\, no RSVP required.\n\nFOR REMOTE PARTICIPANTS: Video from this talk will be streamed live.

Traditionally\, traffic volumes are primarily measured by fixed location sensors. However\, the high installation and maintenance cost of fixed location sensors often leads to the missing data problem and the low coverage problem. In recent years\, researchers have proposed to solve the problems using probe vehicle data. Nevertheless\, when only low market penetration probe vehicle data are available\, it is difficult to estimate real time traffic volume information if we consider each time slot and each road separately Noticing that traffic volumes in a transportation network are correlated spatially and temporally\, we try to capture the correlation by fusing probe vehicle data and partial fixed location sensor data\, which are complementary to each other In this work\, we propose low rank representation methods to estimate the unknown traffic volumes. The proposed methods take advantage of the correlation of traffic volumes in different locations and different time slots and thereby achieve good estimation accuracy even if the probe vehicle data are sparse. Validation results show that the proposed methods can solve the missing data problem and the low coverage problem at the same time\, and they have great potential for real world implementation.\n\nYan Zhao is currently a PhD candidate in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. Yan also works with Professor Henry Liu in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on traffic state estimation and transportation network analysis using trajectory data.

Energetic ions from the ionosphere are routinely observed in the magnetospheric plasma sheet and ring current. Significant amounts of ionospheric plasma can be transported to high altitudes in response to DC electric fields and auroral precipitation. Neutral winds affect ionospheric motions and can help or hinder ion upflow. Once ions have been lifted to high altitudes\, transverse wave heating can give the upflowing ions sufficient energy for the mirror force to propel these ions to escape to the magnetosphere. GEMINI-TIA\, a 2D anisotropic\, multi-fluid\, ionospheric model\, has been used to examine these upflow and outflow processes in great detail. This versatile model is well suited to accept\, as model inputs\, data from sounding rockets\, ISR\, FPI\, and all-sky imagers\, and to be coupled to models of neutral dynamics making it ideal for case studies of interesting events UID:71581-17842687@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71581 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering LOCATION:Climate and Space Research Building - CSRB Auditorium, room 2246 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191220T215508 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Engaging Communities in Role-Playing Simulations to Advance Climate Planning DESCRIPTION:Coastal communities face tough decisions about how to manage flooding risks associated with rising seas and extreme rain events. Two project teams have developed an innovative planning tool that allows community leaders and residents to make sense of local climate projections and experiment with collaborative decision making in a safe environment.\n\nThe New England Climate Adaptation Project tested the use of role-play simulations\, or “games\,” to engage community members in climate adaptation planning. In a structured workshop setting\, participants receive background information describing a fictional place - typically with a striking resemblance to their own - and must assume a fictional role in which they work collaboratively to prioritize actions that help the community manage climate risks. Following the framework developed in New England\, the Georgetown Climate Adaptation Project produced a customized set of local climate projections and role playing materials for the coastal southeast. In this webinar\, presenters will discuss lessons learned from planning and leading simulation workshops in two different coastal regions.

My research interests are largely directed towards understanding how cancer cells and immune cells can be manipulated or engineered using chemistry\, material\, and chemical biology approaches\, in order to develop effective therapies for cancers\, injured tissues\, and other diseases. In this talk\, I will start with my phd journey in exploring cancer-selective metabolic labeling and targeting\, and then share how metabolic cell labeling can be utilized for tracking and targeted modulation of immune cells in vivo. Lastly\, I will talk about a biomaterial-based antigen-free cancer vaccine for the treatment of poorly-immunogenic solid tumors.\n\nBio:\n\nI am currently a Wyss Technology Development Fellow at Harvard University\, aiming to integrate my research background in chemistry\, materials science\, and chemical biology with cancer immunotherapy and immunoengineering here. More specifically\, I am exploring approaches to modulate or engineer cancer and immune cells in vivo\, in order to improve and innovate current immunotherapies for cancers and other immune-related diseases. Before moving to Harvard\, I earned my Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (08/2012-06/2016)\, and my Bachelor’s degree in Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Science and Technology of China (08/2008-06/2012).

Plant traits are being increasingly used to address this challenge as they provide insights into the critical phenotype-environment link. Such information is necessary to apply to questions regarding how forests are responding to changing environments and the implications of those changes for the long-term persistence of forests. In this talk\, I will discuss how the use of trait-based approaches and different modeling tools has allowed me to address questions regarding the drivers that shape forests\, and species responses to habitat loss and fragmentation.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/bpnFzlHvSpU UID:69039-17220020@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69039 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200117T101116 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200123T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Occasional Lecture Series | Classical as Contemporary: Choreography and New Media in China Today DESCRIPTION:In China today\, dance and new media are merging in experimental choreographies for the stage\, open-air spaces\, galleries\, and other site-specific works.

While the chemical and physical aspects of depression and other mental health disorders are far more complex than just feeling down\, current research supports a cognitive approach as a way to change patterns of brain functioning and build resilience in people struggling with chronic depression.\nThe program uses a combination of cognitive therapy and mindfulness to help participants form new\, healthier modes of thought. MBCT initiates a cognitive change that helps clients move past events that have the potential to trigger relapse. Participants learn how to view their thoughts without judgment.\nMBCT is about equipping participants with the ability to regulate one’s own thoughts and moods and to put new skills into practice in the way they are most useful to each client. MBCT helps flip the script in a way\, empowering participants\, helping them step into a well-fortified position and giving them the tools and the knowledge to help themselves at any stage of life.\nThe next session is scheduled to begin January 23\, 2020 and runs for eight weeks. Participants will meet weekly\, on Thursdays from 5-7:30 p.m. \nIf you are interested in attending or referring a potential group participant\, please contact the Psychological Clinic to begin the process.

She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity\, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic\, assertive and joyful\, discerning and full of possibility.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South 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.

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 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.

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.

The jackknife+ modifies the well-known jackknife (leave-one-out cross-validation) to account for the variability in the fitted regression function when we subsample the training data. Assuming exchangeable training samples\, we prove that the jackknife+ permits rigorous coverage guarantees regardless of the distribution of the data points\, for any algorithm that treats the training points symmetrically. Such guarantees are not possible for the original jackknife and we demonstrate examples where the coverage rate may actually vanish. Our theoretical and empirical analysis reveals that the jackknife and jackknife+ intervals achieve nearly exact coverage and have similar lengths whenever the fitting algorithm obeys some form of stability. We also extend to the setting of K-fold cross-validation. Our methods are related to cross-conformal prediction proposed by Vovk [2015] and we discuss connections. \n\nThis work is joint with Emmanuel Candes\, Aaditya Ramdas\, and Ryan Tibshirani.

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:58562-15784169@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:63803-15884171@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.

With the increasing availability of high-dimensional\, streaming data in the industrial practice\, it is now possible to predict impending anomalies and breakdowns across a manufacturing plant much earlier\, and over considerably longer time horizons. Also\, with the increasing availability of large time-series data\, nonparametric machine learning approaches are becoming attractive for the prediction and prognosis of anomalies and breakdowns. This talk will overview three methods\, each aimed at addressing a particular challenge with anomaly detection in smart manufacturing processes.\nSpeaker Bio\nSatish T. S.

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.

Naturally\, this increased ability comes with increased complexity in planning and executing manipulation actions. As such\, I propose combining model-based planning with learned components to improve over purely data-driven or purely-model based approaches to manipulation.\n\nThis talk examines multi-fingered autonomous manipulation when the robot has only partial knowledge of the object of interest. I will first present results on planning multi-fingered grasps for novel objects using a learned neural network. I will then present our approach to planning in-hand manipulation tasks when dynamic properties of objects are not known. I will conclude with a discussion of our ongoing and future research to further unify these two approaches.\n\nTucker Hermans is an assistant professor in the School of Computing at the University of Utah\, where he is a founding member of the University of Utah Robotics Center.

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.

Recent changes in the fuel mix for electricity generation and\, in particular\, the increase in Gas-Fueled Power Plants (GFPP)\, have created significant interdependencies between the electric power and natural gas transmission systems. However\, despite their physical and economic couplings\, these networks are still operated independently\, with asynchronous market mechanisms. This mode of operation may lead to significant economic and reliability risks in congested environments as revealed by the 2014 polar vortex event experienced by the northeastern United States\; The scarcity of natural gas put the reliability of the electricity system at high risk and agitated its market. To mitigate these risks\, while preserving the current structure of the markets\, we explore the idea of introducing gas network awareness into the standard unit commitment model and propose a bilevel optimization problem. We developed a novel Benders subproblem decomposition technique that addresses the computational challenge in solving the bilevel problem. The model and the solution approach are validated on a case study for the Northeastern United States that can reproduce the gas and electricity price spikes experienced during the early winter of 2014. The results on the case study show that gas awareness in unit commitment is instrumental in avoiding the peaks in electricity prices while keeping the gas prices to reasonable levels and demonstrate that the developed solution method outperforms up-to-date commercial solvers and standard Benders method. This is based on a joint work with Dr. Pascal Van Hentenryck.\n\nBio:\nGeunyeong Byeon is a PhD candidate in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan (U-M) where she is advised by Dr. Pascal Van Hentenryck.

This new era of galactic archeology and near-field cosmology demands a new generation of simulations that achieve high dynamic range to resolve scales of individual stellar populations within a cosmological context. I will describe the new Latte suite of massively parallelized cosmological zoom-in simulations\, run on the nation’s most powerful supercomputers\, that model the formation of Milky Way-like galaxies at parsec-scale resolution\, using the FIRE (Feedback in Realistic Environments) model for star formation and feedback. First I will discuss the formation of the Milky Way disk\, including resolving for the first time the dynamics and lifetimes of giant molecular clouds and stars clusters at z = 0. These simulations also self-consistently resolve the formation of satellite dwarf galaxies around each Milky Way-like host. These low-mass galaxies have presented significant challenges to the cold dark matter model\, but I will show progress in addressing the “missing satellites” and “too-big-to-fail” problems. Finally\, I will discuss synthetic Milky Way surveys that we have created from the Latte simulations\, which are publicly available\, to provide theoretical modeling insight for the era of Gaia.\n\nBio: Professor Wetzel is an assistant professor in the physics department and in the astrophysics and cosmology group at the University of California\, Davis. He is a theoretical/computational astrophysicist and cosmologist. Using the world’s most powerful supercomputers\, he generates cosmological simulations to model the formation of cosmic structures\, including galaxies and their stars. He uses these simulations as theoretical laboratories to develop and test models of galaxy formation\, stellar dynamics\, and the nature of dark matter\, with emphasis on our own Milky Way galaxy.

Since 2017\, we have been funded through the Humanities Collaboratory\, a cutting-edge research initiative established at the University of Michigan. Our interdisciplinary team includes eight faculty\, eight graduate students\, and 32 undergraduate students. Our mission is to analyze how language is entangled with cultural identity through the Patagonian Boers\, a community that traces its roots to the South-African Boers who settled in Argentina after the Anglo-Boer War of 1902. We have disseminated our findings through six research articles\, five public essays\, and a digital archive. Our public essays\, published in outlets such as Babel\, The Conversation\, Clarín (Argentina)\, Times Higher Education\, and Inside Higher Ed epitomize our goal of engagement beyond the academic sphere. In this talk\, we will explain how our collaboration emerged\, how we refined our collaborative process\, and how we fostered undergraduate involvement in our research. Altogether\, we demonstrate that altering the traditional educational structure while encouraging agency and creativity yields new forms of learning for all involved.\n\nPlease join us for this talk by Ana Silva Campo\, with Nick Henriksen\, Lorenzo García-Amaya\, Ryan Szpiech\, and Matthew Neubacher.

Even today\, we can see how interconnected systems work in space….and the role that a strong space infrastructure – stretching from LEO to deep space – plays in successful missions. Along with aerospace engineering technologies\, innovations from other industries are being applied to space: additive manufacturing\, virtual reality\, artificial intelligence and autonomous systems…just to name a few. We are standing at another crossroads in human history as we venture deeper into space. At Boeing\, we are building the future. Follow our journey – and maybe even join us – as we connect\, protect\, explore and inspire the world.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nRaenaurd Turpin is the Chief Engineer of Boeing Commercial Satellite Systems and Common Products (CSCP). He also leads advanced satellite architecture development and technology insertion as the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) for Commercial Satellite Business Development. In 2018\, Raenaurd was recognized as Boeing Defense\, Space\, and Security (BDS) Engineer of the Year\, in addition to BEYA Black Engineer of the Year. As Chief Architect and System Engineering Lead for the O3b mPOWER campaign\, he led the team through a significant evolution of the design. Their efforts yielded increased efficiency (mass\, power\, operational complexity) and lower design complexity and risk\, all while aligning to the customer’s affordability target. As a result\, Boeing was awarded contracts to build seven satellites using this advanced digital payload design. Today\, the O3b mPower constellation is in production\n\nTurpin has also performed as a Major Supplier Program Manager for National Security Programs. In addition to this program management role\, Raenaurd has also lead teams to develop the Next Generation of Wideband Global Satcom (WGS) Satellites and implement Ground-Based Anti-Jam Enhancements for the existing WGS constellation.\n\nTurpin has previously held roles in business capture as well as systems architecture & design\, and began his career at Boeing as a phased array antenna analyst and digital signal processing (DSP) subsystem engineer\, holding a patent for phased array calibration methodology. He received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University in 1997\, played in the Rose Bowl as member of the PAC-10 Championship Football team\, and completed credentials towards MS in Electrical Engineering in 1999.

Offloading reduces reliance on internal representations and processes\, and can lead to improved performance in cognitively demanding tasks. While individuals of different ages may benefit from offloading cognitive demands\, this strategy may be especially useful for older adults to compensate for age-related cognitive declines and better meet the demands of everyday life. During my talk\, I will present what we have learned so far when examining younger and older adults’ offloading behavior (using reminders in a memory task)\, the effect of offloading on memory performance\, and factors associated with the decision to offload.

C.\, & N. Tokowicz\, 2014)\, bilingualism (Silva-Corvalán\, 1994\; Toribio\, 2004)\, trilingualism (Rothman\, 2010\, 2015\; Rothman & Cabrelli Amaro\, 2010\; Rothman et al.\, 2015) or multilingualism leading to language creation (Rougé\, 1986\; Kihm\, 1990\; Corne\, 1999)\, it is often (but not always!) the case that the features that the languages in contact have in common promote acquisition or language creation. More precisely\, the phonemes\, morphemes\, lexemes or syntactic structures that speakers perceive as being similar in the languages in contact\, what we will call here\, congruent features or domains\, are likely to be acquired more easily in L2 (or L3/L4...) or are more likely to contribute to the grammatical make-up (and lexicon) of the emerging language in the case of creole genesis.\n\nThis paper represents a first step in a long-term research program exploring how new languages emerge in a multilingual setting. It examines the role of convergence in Creole formation and development\, using a competition and selection framework. Specifically\, it illustrates how morphosyntactic and semantic features are more likely to be selected into the grammatical makeup of a given Creole when they preexist and are shared by some of the source languages present in its linguistic ecology. This is empirically supported in this paper by numerous case studies and a survey of congruent features in 20 contact languages across 19 grammatical and lexical domains. In order to show how convergence operates\, I propose an algorithm and a model of matter and pattern mapping\, adapted to the multilingual setting in which Creole languages emerge. In addition to a set of variables\, the model includes both the linguistic ecology (linguistic factors) and speakers' attitudes (non-linguistic factors) (Thomason\, 2001) to predict (in a non-deterministic fashion) the features that are more likely to win within a competition and selection framework (Mufwene\, 2001). It shows that even when a given feature is traceable to two or more sources\, it readily diverges from the original sources and is innovative. The paper also explores cases where convergence does not take place and examines the conditions underlying such outcome.

The first is that rocks can faithfully document the structure of the Earth’s magnetic field in recent and deep time. The second assumption is that the field recorded in rocks closely approximates a Geocentric Axial Dipole (GAD) field. If we are correct\, then the paleomagnetic record provides important information regarding the past geometry of continental distributions and possible connections to biological evolution. Furthermore\, the magnetic field shields the planet (and living organisms) from incoming solar and inter-galactic radiation. In this talk\, I will present two case studies that outline how paleomagnetic studies were used to evaluate important evolutionary changes. The first case study is from the Ediacaran where the Earth’s magnetic field appears to have undergone a lengthy interval of hyperactive reversals in the Ediacaran. Hyperactivity results in a decrease in the overall strength of the dipole field and a concomitant collapse of the ‘shield’ that protects the planet from incoming radiation. We suggest that prolonged interval with a weakened dipole caused the collapse of the Ediacaran habitat and set the stage for the Cambrian radiation. The second case study examines rapid changes in paleolatitude of the North China Block during the Late Jurassic. New paleomagnetic data from volcanic rocks indicate that East Asia moved from intermediate to lower latitudes during the Late Jurassic. That movement coincided with the aridification of East Asia and the demise of the Yanliao biota. The Yanlioa biota contain the first feathered dinosaurs\, eutherian mammals and a diverse entomofauna.

Spenser\, I argue\, offers a lush topography of corporeal temptation\; he is primarily concerned with how environments can pollute individuals. Milton\, by contrast\, is concerned both with the ways that environments can pollute individuals\, and the ways that individuals pollute environments. The landscapes of Spenser and Milton challenge individuals to manage their responses to sensuous environmental stimuli. While Spenser creates a lush paradisal garden that must be boisterously razed by a knight representing the virtue of Temperance\, Milton proposes that if humans behave temperately\, they might erect within themselves the infrastructure of a lost paradise.

Archaeological Fieldwork in Mexico and Peru\, 1961-2003: A Conversation with Jeffrey Parsons DESCRIPTION:Half a century ago\, when archaeologist Jeffrey R. Parsons began fieldwork in Mexico and Peru\, he could not know that many of the sites he studied were on the brink of destruction. The rural landscapes through which he traveled were\, in many cases\, destined to be plowed under and paved over. In his new book *Remembering Archaeological Fieldwork in Mexico and Peru\, 1961–2003*\, hundreds of photographs taken by Parsons give readers a chance to see archaeological sites that were hundreds or thousands of years old and have since vanished or been irrevocably altered. In this public interview\, Howard Tsai will speak to Dr. Parsons about the sites\, the people\, and the landscapes he had encountered during four decades of research in Latin America.\n \n Jeffrey Parsons served as the University of Michigan’s Curator of Latin American Archaeology in the Museum of Anthropology and a Professor in the Department of Anthropology from 1966 until his retirement from the University in 2006. Parsons served as Director of the Museum of Anthropology from 1983 to 1986. Jeff Parsons has been a fundamental innovator in regional studies of the early New World civilizations. He began his research career in the Valley of Mexico in 1963\, perfecting the technique of archaeological surface survey now used in many areas of the world. Working closely with Mexican colleagues\, his teams walked over almost every square kilometer of the Valley of Mexico that was not sealed by asphalt and concrete. The results were detailed reports on the settlement sites of every period from 1200 BC to AD 1520—more than 2500 hamlet\, village and town sites. These published data allowed archaeologists to address broader theoretical issues such as the roles of population growth\, irrigation\, and conflict. In 1975 Parsons introduced the regional archaeological approach to Peru\, undertaking a major survey in the Junin area of the central Andes\, which has recently been published as a major monograph. In 1998 he received the highest honor given New World archaeologists\, The Alfred V. Kidder Award from the American Anthropological Association.\n \n Howard Tsai is lecturer in the Program in International and Comparative Studies and the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies at the University of Michigan. Dr. Tsai received his Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Michigan\, specializing in Peruvian archaeology. He has directed a team of archaeologists in excavating the 1000-year-old village of Las Varas in northern Peru. His works on labor organization\, pottery style\, and ethnic interaction have been published in academic journals and edited volumes. His upcoming book *Las Varas: Ritual and Ethnicity in the Ancient Andes *will be published by the University of Alabama Press.

The average realized cost of nuclear power plants built in the US was 3.18 times the planned cost. The industry has responded to these risks by employing various risk management practices to reduce the uncertainty associated with nuclear EPC projects. Some of these practices include streamlining the regulatory process with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (in the case of US reactors)\, standardizing designs\, and modularizing physical structures and components to improve construction and constructability. Although these risk-management processes have been put in place\, there are still considerable cost and schedule excursions that have occurred in the construction of recent nuclear power plant projects. Notably\, the Westinghouse Vogtle and V.C. Summer projects reported significant cost and schedule overruns to an extent that the Vogtle project required a significant government bailout and the V.C. Summer project was cancelled.\n\nSola Talabi\, will share his experience as the Westinghouse Risk Manager for the Engineering Procurement and Construction work scope for the Vogtle and V.C. Summer projects. Sola will explore the issue of cost and schedule overruns from the perspective of potentially overly optimistic targets and inadequacies in project execution. Sola will also provide recommendations on how to address these cost and schedule challenges for advanced reactor deployment. \n\nSpeaker: Sola Talabi\, Nuclear Industry Consultant\nSola Talabi has 19 years' experience in the nuclear industry\, with 14 years at Westinghouse Electric Company\, where he was  the Nuclear Power Plants Risk Manager\, and also the a member of the Westinghouse Intellectual Property and Innovation Committees. As Risk Manager\, Sola was responsible for risk  management of the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power plant fleet\, with deployments in China and the US. He was also responsible for managing risks on the Westinghouse scope of supply for plants in the UAE.\n\nSola’s risk responsibilities further included managing project development risk on the Westinghouse Small Modular Reactor. Sola currently leads Pittsburgh Technical\, which is a nuclear engineering practice that supports advanced nuclear deployment.\n\nSola holds the following degrees acquired at Carnegie Mellon University: a PhD in Engineering and Public Policy with a focus on risk management for large energy infrastructure projects\, an MBA with a customized focus on energy\, finance and operations\, and a M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering. He holds a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. Sola is also a PMI certified Risk Management Professional. Sola  has been recognized with leadership awards by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and the National Black MBA Association. Sola has published several articles in peer‐refereed journals on the subjects of engineering\, energy and risk management.

As AI moves from the research lab into the mass marketplace\, debates have shifted from the philosophical to the pragmatic. Expansive questions probing consciousness and creativity have taken a backseat to corporate concerns about efficiency\, price points\, and scale. Whether AI will surpass the ability of human creativity has become less pressing than whether AI-generated music can be copyright protected. Most notably\, to assuage anxieties sounded across the music world\, industry leaders have come to embrace collaboration as a model for how AI can enhance\, rather than replace\, human creativity. \n\nThis presentation explores the mechanics and theorizes the challenges of computer-human interactivity through the lens of singer/songwriter Taryn Southern’s I AM AI (2018)\, billed as the first AI pop album. Co-produced with cutting-edge software developed by AIVA\, Amper\, Google\, and IBM\, the album reveals how AI helps to extend\, automate\, and supplement Southern’s musical abilities while enabling her to maintain claims of artistic agency. Recent writings on virtuality and interactivity\, complemented by interviews with AI industry professionals and musicians who use AI\, reveal similarly productive tensions involving collaboration\, control\, credit\, and creative independence. Coming to terms with new forms of intelligence challenges us to explore how we characterize\, distinguish\, and understand musical relationships between human and virtual beings.

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.

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:58562-15784170@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:63803-15884172@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:68063-16988479@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:20200108T181705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200125T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200125T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cullen Washington\, Jr.: The Public Square DESCRIPTION:This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington\, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series\, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

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.

Main St\nFree & Open to the Public\n\nCheikh Lô is one of the great mavericks of African music. A superb singer and songwriter as well as a distinctive guitarist\, percussionist and drummer he has personalised and distilled a variety of influences from West and Central Africa\, to create a style that is uniquely his own. Incorporating Senegalese mbalax with elements of salsa\, Zairian/Congolese rhumba\, folk\, and jazz\, Lô has created an infectious\, hook-laden style of pop music. Born in 1955\, to Senegalese parents in Bobo Dioulasso\, Burkina Faso\, not far from the border with Mali\, where he grew up speaking Bambara (language of Mali)\, Wolof (language of Senegal) and French. At 21 he started singing and playing percussion with Orchestra Volta Jazz in Bobo Dioulasso\, and spent much of the 1980s working as a session musician in both Dakar\, Senegal and Paris\, France\, while also developing his own repertoire. In 1995\, Youssou N’Dour helped to produce his second solo record\, and signature sound – a semi acoustic\, Spanish-tinged take on the popular mbalax style – was an instant success in Senegal\, gaining him a dedicated local following and subsequent international success.\n\nCheikh Lô will also perform two sets at the Blue Llama Jazz Club on Saturday\, January 25 (7pm & 9pm). Visit https://www.bluellamaclub.com/event/cheikh-lo for ticket information for these performances.\n\nThis Artist Q&A is co-sponsored by Center for World Performance Studies and African Studies Center.

Flashbacks tell us of her active participation in the organisation and execution of the March 1st Protests\, one of the earliest instances of Korean public resistance against the Japanese\, where she lost both of her parents and which resulted in the arrest of her elder brother and herself for shouting “Long Live the Korean Independence”. Once at Seodaemun\, she is kept in Cell No.8\, stuffed in with dozens other women in a room that’s barely enough for three or four people at most. Ever the free spirit\, Gwan-sun continues to proclaim that she is free as long as she has free thought and refuses to give in to the demands of the Japanese to confess\, much to the chagrin of the Japanese as well as Korean-origin soldier Nishida.” – RHYTHM ZAVERI\, Asian Movie Pulse\n\nCheck out Asian Movie Pulse’s full review here: https://asianmoviepulse.com/2019/07/film-review-a-resistance-2019-by-jo-min-ho/\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. On this tour\, explore the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan. \n\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors.

His practice makes use of the grid to physically and metaphorically flatten hierarchies and rank to create a new conception of the possibilities for a public square. Washington sees this public space as an ideal \"gathering place\" for activated assembly and inclusive democracy. Historically\, the public square has also been the site of spectacles and public humiliations\; today\, the internet holds out the promise of a level playing field with access for all that also includes space for extreme views and falsehoods.  Please join Mr. Washington and exhibition curator Vera Grant on opening day for a conversation about the role of art\, artists\, and the “hope of abstraction” within our current battles for the public square.\n \nLight refreshments to follow.  \n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.
