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:58562-15784177@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:63803-15884179@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:68063-16988486@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:20200202T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200202T170000 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.

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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSuicide represents a significant health concern in the United States\, where the rate of deaths by suicide has grown substantially over the past two decades. Notably\, in 2014 the World Health Organization called upon researchers to expand research on suicide to include examinations into both risk and protective factors. Therefore\, the present study sought to examine optimism and hope as predictors of suicidal behaviors (viz.\, suicide ideation and suicide attempt) in a sample of 179 adult primary care patients. Furthermore\, we aimed to determine if the combination of hope and optimism would account for additional variance in the prediction model for suicidal behaviors among this population. In this cross-sectional study\, participants completed measures of hope (viz.\, agency and pathways)\, optimism\, and suicidal behaviors\, as well as a series of demographic questions. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to test the aforementioned hypotheses. Results indicated that hope and optimism were both significant and unique predictors of suicidal behaviors among adult primary care patients. However\, the hope-by-optimism interaction terms were not found to be significant. Some implications of the present findings will be discussed.

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.

As one of the largest subsets of biosensors\, biomolecular sensors are specifically developed and programmed to detect\, quantify and analyze biomolecules in liquid samples. Wide-ranging applications have made immunoassays increasingly popular for biomolecular detection and quantification. Among these\, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are of particular interest due to high specificity and reproducibility. To some extent\, ELISA has been regarded as a “gold standard” for quantifying analytes (especially protein analytes) in both clinical diagnostics and fundamental biological research. However\, traditional (96-well plate-based) ELISA still suffers from several notable drawbacks\, such as long assay time (4–6 hours)\, lengthy procedures\, and large sample/reagent consumption (∼100 μL). These inherent disadvantages still significantly limit traditional ELISA's applicability to areas such as rapid clinical diagnosis of acute diseases (e.g.\, viral pneumonia\, acute organ rejection)\, and biological research that requires accurate measurements with precious or low abundance samples (e.g.\, tail vein serum from a mouse). Thus\, a bimolecular sensing technology that has high sensitivity\, short assay time\, and small sample/reagent consumption is still strongly desired. In this dissertation\, we introduce the development of a multifunctional and automated optofluidic biosensing platform that can resolve the aforementioned problems. In contrast to conventional plate-based ELISA\, our optofluidic ELISA platform utilizes mass-producible polystyrene microfluidic channels with a high surface-to-volume ratio as the immunoassay reactors\, which greatly shortens the total assay time. We also developed a low-noise signal amplification protocol and an optical signal quantification system that was optimized for the optofluidic ELISA platform. Our optofluidic ELISA platform provides several attractive features such as small sample/reagent consumption (<8 μL)\, short total assay time (30-45 min)\, high sensitivity (~1 pg/mL for most markers)\, and a broad dynamic range (3-4 orders of magnitude). Using these features\, we successfully quantified mouse FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) concentration with a single drop of tail vein serum. We also successfully monitored bladder cancer progression in orthotopic xenografted mice with only <50 μL of mouse urine. More excitingly\, we achieved highly-sensitive exosome quantification and multiplexed immuno-profiling with <40 ng/mL of total input protein (per assay). These remarkable milestones could not be achieved with conventional plate-based ELISA but were enabled by our unique optofluidic ELISA.\n\nAs an emerging member of the bimolecular sensor family\, our optofluidic ELISA platform provides a high-performance and cost-effective tool for a plethora of applications\, including endocrinal\, cancer animal model\, cellular biology\, and even forensic science research. In the future\, this technology platform can also be renovated for clinical applications such as personalized cancer diagnosis/prognosis and rapid point-of-care diagnostics for infectious diseases.

Using recent data from the American Community Survey\, this study uses conditional logit models to examine assortative matching patterns among same-sex and different-sex newlywed couples defining marriage markets in a variety of ways. Regardless of how markets are defined\, same-sex male couples are less likely than same-sex female couples and different-sex couples to match on race and age. These patterns are somewhat consistent with the notion that individuals seeking a same-sex partner must cast a broad net due to a small number of available partners. This study extends prior research on this topic by directly examining the extent to which partners in the three union types trade valued traits (i.e.\, compensating differentials). The results suggest that gay men use status exchange as a strategy to find a marriage partner who is similar in terms of overall trade values.\nBIO:\n\nKara Joyner is a Professor of Sociology at Bowling Green State University and served as Associate Director of the Center for Family and Demographic Research for six years.

In this talk\, I will report on some of the findings of this project\, showing how a sustained and detailed attention to the materiality and temporality of the phenomenon\, to the sensorial\, affective\, and temporal properties of things\, can offer insights that elude other kinds of research. Objects\, spaces\, buildings and landscapes are essential components in the formation of border assemblages\, together with border crossers\, volunteers\, as well as border guards and security apparatuses. I will explore how the attention to such assemblages can not only help us understand what some scholars have described as the new Global Apartheid\, but more positively\, allow us to imagine a decolonial present and future. \n\nBiography: \nYannis Hamilakis is Joukowsky Family Professor of Archaeology and Professor of Modern Greek Studies at Brown University.

Various sources\, including ^{127}Xe\, D-D neutrons\, ^{83}mKr\, Tritium\, and AmBe neutrons are used to perform calibrations of detector responses to electron recoils (ER) and nuclear recoils (NR). I will present an ultra-low energy calibration of ER using an intrinsic ^{127}Xe source and of NR using a short pulsed D-D neutron generator. Radioactive isotope ^{127}Xe is formed in the LUX LXe volume due to cosmogenic activation before the detector was moved one mile underground. A measurement in the early stage of the LUX WS2013 science run unveils ~0.9 million ^{127}Xe atoms in the LUX LXe volume\, which provides an ideal source for low energy calibrations. ^{127}Xe decay is a form of electron capture in which a high energy gamma (> 200 keV) is emitted\, followed by an associated low energy X-ray cascade over the energy range of 190 eV to 33.2 keV. The relatively long mean free path (mfp) of the gamma-ray (> 0.9 cm) allows the EC decay to produce clearly identified 2-vertex events in the LUX detector. We observe the K (33.2 keV)\, L (5.2 keV)\, M (1.1 keV)\, and N (190 eV) shell cascade events and verify the relative ratio of observed events for each shell. We extract the means and sigmas of the charge signal yields associated with the K\, L\, M\, and N shell events. The N shell cascade analysis includes single extracted electron (SE) events and represents the lowest-energy electronic recoil in situ measurements that have been explored in liquid xenon. A short pulsed D-D neutron NR calibration was performed in situ in the LUX detector in June 2016 after the completion of the LUX WS2013-16 science run. The calibration incorporates a pulsing technique with narrow pulses (20 us / 250 Hz). We have measured\, with low systematics\, the absolute rates of NR events with ionization signals down to 2 extracted electrons and zero\, one or greater detected scintillation photons. A calibration measurement with absolute event rates of charge-only S2 events for the first time in a Xe TPC provides an important probe for ultra-low energy measurements of LXe Qy. This technique provides direct measurements of scintillation and charge yields down to (Ly) 0.45 keVnr and (Qy) 0.27 keVnr\, respectively. New calibration results on ultra-low energy nuclear recoil yields are crucial to determine physics search sensitivities for large mass LXe TPCs (LZ experiment) for low mass WIMPs (< 10 GeV) and for coherent neutrino scattering (e.g. ^8B solar neutrino).\n\n UID:71241-17794028@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71241 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191218T151316 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200203T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200203T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Honors Stowe Lectures DESCRIPTION:Anu Partanen speaks frequently about topics related to her book \"The Nordic Theory of Everything: In Search of a Better Life\,\" both internationally and in the United States.

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.

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

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

She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts.

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:58562-15784178@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:63803-15884180@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.

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.

A broader scope\, however\, necessitates additional information on system components and new methodologies to design management approaches that consider ecological\, human\, and human-ecological connections. Although there have been calls for increased consideration of system linkages and ecological and socioeconomic components and outcomes\, relatively little work has been done to-date. In this paper we develop a dynamic\, integrated\, human-ecological model. It incorporates ecological connectivity between species in the form of a foodweb\, a human system comprised of fishers who choose among multiple fisheries to fish in subject to management program design\, and fisher harvest linking the ecological and human components. We identify the human and ecological conditions under which gains from management approaches that account for the system connectivity relative to traditional single-fishery management policies are greatest\, providing insight into when the returns to using more complex models to design fisheries management policies will be greatest.

A number of proposals argue that executive functions\, the suite of cognitive abilities that enable such behavior\, are uniquely advanced in our species. In particular\, it has been proposed that our long ontogeny permits the development of advanced executive function skills. Another proposal highlights our flexible use of different information types\, such as readily using abstract or arbitrary cues to guide behavior. There is\, however\, a gap in our understanding of how human executive functions compare to those of our closest living relatives\, chimpanzees. I will present two studies examining a key component of executive function\, flexible switching\, in chimpanzees using a reversal learning paradigm.

UHPC-class materials exhibit mechanical and durability properties that far exceed those of both conventional and high-performance concretes. The Structural Concrete Group at FHWA’s Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) has been conducting research on UHPC-class materials for more than 15 years\, and has played a significant role in the growing popularity of this innovative class of materials in the US bridge market. \nThe objective of this presentation is to introduce the state-of-practice for UHPC in US highway bridge market\, and discuss how this material is innovating the way we design and construct highway bridges. The presentation will include: a review of the basic properties of UHPC-class materials\; a discussion of the current deployments in the US bridge market\; and a discussion of recent research conducted at TFHRC. Research topics to be discussed will include: prefabricated bridge element connections using UHPC\; UHPC for bridge repair and rehabilitation\; and recent research focused on understanding the fundamental material properties and structural response of UHPC-class materials. \n\nDr. Zach Haber is a research structural engineer on FHWA’s Bridge Engineering Research Team at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in McLean\, Virginia\, USA. Dr. Haber’s research areas include prefabricated bridge systems and applications of innovative materials in bridge engineering.

The “brothers” of the community have taken a vow of celibacy and are committed to a lifetime of simplicity\, service\, and community. There is an ecumenical emphasis at Taizé\, which says the community “wants its life to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.”\n\nA Taizé worship service involves sung and chanted prayers\, meditation\, a period of silence\, liturgical readings\, and icons. There is no preaching. The style of prayer practiced at Taizé has attracted many worshipers from around the globe and from many different denominations. The prayers consist of “short chants\, repeated again and again\,” according to an introduction in a Taizé songbook. “The words are sung over many times.”\n\nTaizé Services have been a practice of worshipping here at First Pres on Ash Wednesday. All are welcome!

Although change has occurred\, the cultural narratives around transgender and non-binary remain disparaging\, disempowering\, and marginalizing. Namely\, that people with these identities are born in the wrong bodies. Transgender and non-binary people are not immune to internalizing these narratives which often lead to the development of shame and other mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety\, to name a few. The goal of this workshop is to utilize countercultural\, body positive\, and resiliency focused interventions to empower transgender and non binary college students to view their bodies and identities.\n\nSee more Health & Wellness Week events at: http://bit.ly/LGBTQHealthWeek2020\nGet event details at: http://bit.ly/SCeventnav\n\nSpectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:\nThe Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize.

In this graphic novel Ottaviani and illustrator Maris Wicks capture the great humor and incredible drive of Mary Cleave\, Valentina Tereshkova\, and the first women in space.\n\nThe U.S. may have put the first man on the moon\, but it was the Soviet space program that made Valentina Tereshkova the first woman in space. It took years to catch up\, but soon NASA’s first female astronauts were racing past milestones of their own. The trail-blazing women of Group 9\, NASA’s first mixed gender class\, had the challenging task of convincing the powers that be that a woman’s place is in space\, but they discovered that NASA had plenty to learn about how to make space travel possible for everyone.\n\nThis event is in partnership with Literati Bookstore and includes a signing with books for sale.

Using loops\, analogue synthesizers\, and effected guitars\, the duo create a semi-improvised ambient score for four of Man Ray’s dreamlike films. Of the project\, Jarmusch says: “Man Ray’s films are very kinetic in the way they move. It’s like a kind of dream logic. Man Ray loves little details of daily life as the Surrealists did. He likes these strange things. A starfish in a jar. Or a scattering of a tailor’s pins” (Metro Times).\n\nSupported by the University of Michigan Library\, the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, and the Ann Arbor Film Festival.

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.

The Extradition Bill incident led to a wide-reaching social movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only ways through which Hong Kong people expressed their opinions. Promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes also played significant roles in the movement. In this exhibition\, we will present these incredible art pieces\, exploring their aesthetics and functions.

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

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

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 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 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:58562-15784179@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:63803-15884181@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:68063-16988488@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:20200205T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200205T170000 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.

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.

These formulae govern the universal behavior in the high-temperature regime of supersymmetric partition functions — or\, in the case of the superconformal index\, they govern the high-energy asymptotics of SUSY operators at large energy. I will outline the proof of the Cardy formulae for theories with moduli spaces of vacua\, which relies on an effective supersymmetric Chern-Simons action in d-1 dimensions. I will argue that this effective action is universal and intimately related to perturbative as well as global gravitational anomalies. Finally\, I will discuss some immediate consequences of our results and briefly compare and distinguish our results to other proposed Cardy formulas.

Two-dimensional analysis (in the vertical-longitudinal plane) of a straight\, estuarine channel yields the classical theory of periodic stratification from tidal straining\, and this mechanism typically works to enhance stratification on ebb tides and break it down through active mixing on flood tides. Ecological implications of mixing relative to tidal phase include whether sediment can reach perimeter habitats high in the tidal prism\, whether phytoplankton reach sunlight\, and whether hypoxia at depth persists longer than biology can tolerate. This pattern of stratification can be disrupted by density-driven exchange with shallow regions lining the channel: differential advection over channel-shoal bathymetry sets up lateral gradients in velocity\, straining the salinity field and driving an input of fresher water at the surface of the channel during flood tides. Here\, we present analytical scaling groups to weigh the contributions of longitudinal and lateral tidal straining and explore the conditions which lead to flood-tide stratification through this lateral exchange mechanism. Idealized\, fully three-dimensional model results from the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) are used to explore the parameter space described by the scaling groups. \n \nLissa MacVean is a Lecturer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her research is focused on the physics of water in lakes\, estuaries\, and marine coastal environments.

The goal of\nresearch in the Engle lab is to develop a general catalytic platform\nfor alkene and alkyne difunctionalization to introduce a diverse array\nof functional groups at each of the two carbon atoms in a programmable\nfashion. Our central hypothesis is that is that Lewis basic directing\ngroups can be used to: (1) control the regioselectivity of Heck- and\nWacker-type alkene addition\, (2) stabilize the resultant alkylmetal\nintermediate to allow to allow efficient downstream trapping\, and (3)\nenhance selectivity for three-component coupling over competitive\ntwo-component coupling. This concept has been used to expand the\nsynthetic toolkit to include new retrosynthetic disconnections\,\nincluding “homo-Michael” addition and β\,γ-vicinal\ndicarbofunctionalization of alkenyl carbonyl compounds. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nKeary Engle (Scripps Research Institute) UID:70445-17596550@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70445 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200205T181708 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200205T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200205T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Approaches to Fully-3D Dedicated Molecular Breast Imaging DESCRIPTION:The Multi-Modality Imaging Lab at Duke has developed and characterized several dedicated (human) breast imaging devices which offer no compression (no pain!)\, fast scans\, low dose imaging with ionizing radiation for the patient\, and fully-3D\, isotropic\, high resolution quantitative in vivo image information for physicians. The first is a “one-stop” dedicated breast imaging system for utilizing in vivo molecular imaging with Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) using a 4x5 array of 4x4cm^2 pixelated CZT modules combined with low dose x-ray Computed Tomography (CT) utilizing a 40x30cm^2 CsI(Tl) flat-panel detector coupled to a TFT array. The subsystems were developed individually\, then hybridized onto a single platform\, allowing fully-3D motions of each subsystem. The 3D acquisitions facilitate overcoming sampling insufficiency issues associated with cone-beam CT imaging in the pendant breast frame. Novel x-ray filtering leading to quasi-monochromatic spectra have enabled low dose CT imaging comparable with standard mammography\, providing quantitative accuracy within a few percent of NIST values\, while optimizing dose efficiency for image quality. Next is a clinically available cardiac SPECT imaging system utilizing 19 compact (8x8cm^2) CZT cameras with pinhole collimators reconfigured for uncompressed\, pendant breast and chest wall imaging. The third system utilizes LGSO scintillation crystals coupled to compact position-sensitive photodetectors in two opposed 15x20cm^2 flat panels enabling fully-3D acquisition for dedicated breast Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging\; this open system can be combined with dedicated CT. The most current system design is for dual PET-MRI breast imaging using an ultra-high sensitivity configuration of PET detector modules to image both breasts simultaneously\, and is evaluated by Monte Carlo techniques. These systems can be used to detect occult disease not otherwise seen in contemporary x-ray mammography or tomosynthesis\, improve the specificity of cancer diagnosis\, and monitor therapeutic response in patients\, without causing additional pain (or fear) for the patient.\n\nSHORT BIO: Martin Tornai is an Associate Professor of Radiology (tenured) and Biomedical Engineering\, and a faculty member of the Medical Physics Graduate Program at Duke University.

PICS administers the Arctic Internship Fellowship which provides $2\,000 funding for University of Michigan undergraduate students to complete internships that students secure from reputable organizations\, to create independent student-designed research projects\, or to participate in an approved study abroad program with a focus on the Arctic. Past fellowship recipients have traveled to the remote region of Happy Valley-Goose Bay\, Labrador\, Canada to participate in internship and research projects.\n \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Program in International and Comparative Studies Arctic Internship Fellowship and Center for Southeast Asian Studies.\n\nAbout the film \"Becoming Labrador\":\nIn the stark Labrador interior\, a growing number of Filipino workers have recently landed in the small regional hub of Happy Valley-Goose Bay\, travelling halfway around the world for jobs they hope will offer their families new opportunities and a better life. \"Becoming Labrador\" follows a handful of those women and men as they make a place for themselves in Labrador’s profoundly foreign climate and culture\, and deal with the unexpected costs of living far from parents\, partners and children.\n \n Combining documentary footage with interpretive animation\, and bringing together the vision of three of Canada’s best young directors\, \"Becoming Labrador\" is a remarkable feat of collaborative authorship. It offers an intimate account of the radical mobility and displacement of the modern world\, and of how tenaciously people hold to their roots in the midst of fundamental change. Celebrating the ties that motivate and sustain the Filipino workers and their families\, it also reveals a subtler love affair\, as people from a tropical country find themselves falling for the North.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at is-michigan@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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

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

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.

Today\, almost 3 billion people worldwide use these social networking sites\, such as Facebook\, Instagram\, and Snapchat. This talk will explain why we are driven to use these sites\, the neuroscience underlying our use of these sites\, and how social media use may become excessive and problematic.\n\nProf. Dar Meshi is a cognitive neuroscientist investigating problematic social media use and how the brain processes social information. He is currently an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University in the Department of Advertising and Public Relations. He is also a faculty member in the Neuroscience Program. Prof. Meshi earned his B.S. in biology from the University of California at Los Angeles\, and his Ph.D. from Columbia University in New York.\n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Social Media Research: What We Know Now. The next lecture will be February 13\, 2020. The title is: Is Technology Killing Privacy?

Shravan Vasishth is professor of linguistics at the University of Potsdam\, Germany\, and holds the chair Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics (Language Processing). His research focuses on computational cognitive modeling\, in particular\, computational modeling of sentence processing in unimpaired and impaired populations\, and the application of mathematical\, computational\, experimental\, and statistical methods (particularly Bayesian methods) in linguistics and psychology. \n\nABSTRACT\nComputational models of retrieval processes: An evaluation using benchmark data\n\nThe talk will begin by revisiting the key predictions of the ACT-R based model of sentence processing (Lewis and Vasishth\, 2005\, henceforth LV05). As discussed in Engelmann\, Jäger\, and Vasishth\, 2020\, the LV05 model predicts two classes of similarity-based interference effects: inhibitory and facilitatory interference. Jäger\, Engelmann\, and Vasishth\, 2017\, carried out a meta-analysis of some 100 existing effect estimates (self-paced reading and eyetracking during reading). This work showed that the LV05 model's predictions are only partly consistent with the current evidence available. A closer look at the published data suggests that the published studies are likely to be severely underpowered. As Gelman and Carlin\, 2014\, have pointed out\, when power is low\, statistically significant effect estimates will be highly misleading: either the effects will be overestimated\, or the sign of the effect will be incorrect (for a real-life demonstration\, see Vasishth\, Mertzen\, Jäger\, and Gelman\, 2018). Coupled with the problem of publication bias (in so-called high-impact journals\, \"big news\" claims are published more often than \"failed\" studies or more tempered claims)\, these underpowered studies make theory evaluation difficult to impossible. What can we do as researchers? How to proceed?\n\nIn the second part of the talk\, I show one way that we can resolve these problems. In their classic paper\, Roberts and Pashler (2000) laid out two important criteria for model evaluation: the model needs to make quantitatively constrained predictions\, and the effect estimates have to be measured with high precision. Modeling researchers usually have one more criterion: model evaluation should always be carried out in the context of a competing baseline model to be meaningful. As a case study of model evaluation\, we compare the predictive performance (using k-fold cross-validation) of the LV05 model with a competing model of retrieval processes\, the McElree 2003 direct-access model (Nicenboim and Vasishth\, 2018). The evaluation data-set is a relatively high-precision study on inhibitory interference effects in German number agreement (Nicenboim\, Vasishth\, Engelmann\, and Suckow\, 2018).

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:58562-15784180@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:63803-15884182@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:68063-16988489@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:20200206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200206T170000 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.

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.

Tea bowls function as important modern signifiers of tea ceremony praxis\, national aesthetics\, and a perceived shared affinity for ceramics. This lecture will trace the rise of the tea bowl in Japan from the 1920s onward\, considering its status in terms of core aspects of modern Japanese ceramics—materiality\, tactility\, revivalism\, rebellion\, and global presence. Within the vast field of modern Japanese ceramics\, the tea bowl provides a means to index key production and reception values.\n \nMeghen Jones is Division Head /Assistant Professor of Art History and Director of Global Studies at Alfred University.

With on-demand mobility services gaining more popularity in recent years\, the real-time application of DARP is attracting ever more interest. However\, the fact that size of DARP grows exponentially with number of requests renders the current solution methodologies inadequate for online applications. In order to tackle this issue\, we propose a general framework that shifts much of the computational burden of the optimization problems that need to be solved into an offline setting\, thereby addressing on-demand requests with fast and high-quality solutions in real time. Furthermore\, in order to improve the utilization rate of vehicles\, we seek to dispatch our shuttle proactively\, and not wait for the demand to be realized first. Using various numerical experiments\, we demonstrate the benefits of the proposed method. Furthermore\, we present a sensitivity analysis to show the performance of our methodology under different parameter settings.\n\nAmir is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.

The pursuit of multi-scale synthesis has a long history. For the microscopic world we have largely succeeded in connecting the chemical properties of molecules with the facts of atoms and their constituents and interactions. In epidemiology\, many are currently applying linear mixed models to quantify the genetic contribution of disease risks in the general population. By and large\, we live with the tacit belief that basic principles\, once found\, will be simple and elegant\, and that we can build Systems Biology from the ground level. This leads to a pointillistic research culture\, as when we try to explain the heredity of complex traits by summing up the individual actions of millions of DNA variants\, or when we look for the neural basis of behavior by the connectivity and firing patterns of millions of neurons. \nI will use this talk to share some thoughts on the emerging appreciation that\, in biomedical data science\, perhaps the best one can learn is not widely generalizable Mechanisms\, but different laws for different scales of organization. There may not be a good chance\, and perhaps no need\, to \"know\" a system by brute force accumulation of larger and larger data at the bottom level. Acknowledging the irreducibility of highly-level phenomena in biology and medicine can help us appreciate the distinct methods\, norms\, and compromises in traditional disciplines\, and steer the society's investment towards balanced collection of good data on all levels. By giving up the blind celebration of sample size\, we give more attention to new technologies that can measure what was previously inaccessible\, and to the next-generation of information science that embraces messy\, context-specific models.

Already\, micro-aerial vehicles with on-board cameras have become a multi-billion-dollar industry\; and as we enter the new decade\, teams of semi-autonomous flying cars\, jet fighters\, and space-exploration vehicles are being launched. An era of ubiquitous aerospace vehicles is becoming a reality\, and along with it autonomous vehicles that can form teams\, agree on navigation plans\, and perceive the world. However\, this future is threatened by denial-of-service (DoS) and deceptive attacks and failures that can compromise the vehicles’ teams\, navigation plans\, and perception capabilities. These threats lie outside the reach of cybersecurity\, and of estimation and control against malicious data. Instead\, algorithms at the intersection of perception\, planning\, and non-convex optimization are needed. I will present two algorithms from my research\, and my vision for a resilient collaborative autonomy.\n\n\nFirst\, I will discuss the first provably optimal algorithms for robust combinatorial optimization against any numbers of DoS attacks. The algorithms can robustify for the first time teams and their navigation plans against DoS attacks. I will demonstrate this via search and rescue\, and surveillance experiments. Second\, I will present algorithms that robustify visual perception capabilities against deceptive failures (outliers). The algorithms achieve extreme outlier-robustness in near real-time for the first time. I will illustrate this across various perception problems\, on datasets for localization and mapping (SLAM)\, object recognition\, and 3D-reconstruction. I will conclude with my vision for a collaborative autonomy that is not only robust but also resilient: I will argue the need for a technological convergence between (i) “cyber” capabilities for a distributed artificial intelligence\, driven by adaptive learning and data-driven perception and navigation algorithms\, and (ii) “physical” capabilities of morphable structures\, self-healing materials\, and smart devices.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nVasileios Tzoumas is a research scientist at the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AeroAstro)\, and the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS)\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Before that\, he was a post-doctoral associate at AeroAstro and LIDS for a bit over a year. He received his Ph.D. in 2018 at the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering\, University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). In 2017\, he was a visiting Ph.D. student at the Institute for Data\, Systems\, and Society\, MIT. He holds a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (2012)\; a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from UPenn (2016)\; and a Master of Arts in Statistics from the Wharton School of Business at UPenn (2016). He aims to enable autonomous\, collaborative cyber-physical systems that are resilient against denial-of-service and deceptive attacks and failures. His theoretical focus is at the interplay of perception\, control\, communication\, and computing. His application and experimental focus include multi-robot tasks of autonomous (visual) navigation\, information gathering\, and surveillance. Vasileios builds on fundamental tools of control theory\, robotic perception\, computational complexity\, and combinatorial and non-convex optimization. He was a Best Student Paper Award finalist at the 2017 IEEE Conference in Decision and Control (CDC).

For many populations\, we have a limited understanding of the mechanisms that shape host susceptibility and how those mechanisms interact with ecological factors to regulate the spread of disease. Focusing on a simple one-host one-parasite system with environmental transmission\, I use theoretical and empirical methods to explore the causes and consequences of variable host immunity. I demonstrate how integrating immune defenses into host-parasite interactions can improve our understanding of disease spread in natural systems.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/g2rVoE-lFwM UID:69041-17220022@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69041 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:20191218T104500 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200206T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200206T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Evaluating Job Offers Workshop DESCRIPTION:So you have a new job offer...now what?

Most imaging methods formulate the inverse problem as a least squares data fit optimization\, and assume a linear mapping between the unknown reflectivity and the data. The linearization\, known as the Born (single scattering) approximation is not accurate in strongly scattering media\, so the reconstruction of the reflectivity may be poor. I will describe a new inversion methodology that is based on a reduced order model approach. This borrows ideas from dynamical systems\, where the reduced order model is a projection of an operator\, called wave propagator\, which describes the propagation of the waves in the unknown medium. I will explain how such a reduced order model can be constructed from measurements at the sensors and then I will show how it can be used for improving the existing inversion methodology.

But why is sexual assault such a common feature of college life? And what can be done to prevent it? Drawing on the Sexual Health Initiative to Foster Transformation (SHIFT) at Columbia University\, the most comprehensive study of sexual assault on a campus to date\, Jennifer S. Hirsch and Shamus Khan’s new book presents an entirely new framework that emphasizes sexual assault’s social roots\, transcending current debates about consent\, predators in a “hunting ground\,” and the dangers of hooking up.\n\nBased on years of research interviewing and observing college life―with students of different races\, genders\, sexual orientations\, and socioeconomic backgrounds―Hirsch and Khan’s study reveals the social ecosystem that makes sexual assault so predictable\, explaining how physical spaces\, alcohol\, peer groups\, and cultural norms influence young people’s experiences and interpretations of both sex and sexual assault. \n\nBook sales and signing will follow the discussion.\n\nCosponsors: Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC)\, Departments of American Culture\, Sociology\, Women’s Studies\, School of Education\, and CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund UID:69535-17357972@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69535 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty Led Program,Gender Based Violence,Sexual Harassment LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Ampitheatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200406T152551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200206T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200206T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Job Market Workshop Series (Zoom Meeting) DESCRIPTION:The Job Market Series consists of 10 monthly workshops designed for psychology graduate students and postdocs who will soon enter the job market.

Drawing widely from disciplines across the sciences and humanities as well as age-old spiritual wisdom\, IT posits a remarkably expansive vision of human nature and developmental potential—at the core of which is consciousness development. From an IT vantage point\, cognition has to do with the activity of the mind\, Put another way\, cognition is to consciousness as the wave is to the ocean. Artistic creativity\, particularly as it manifests in improvised music\, can be seen as a bridge between the two realms and helps illuminate them as part of an overarching wholeness of subjective experience. The arts-consciousness relationship also helps us move past conventional boundaries and labels when it comes to academic disciplines\, with longstanding tensions between science and spirituality/mysticism a common\, and unnecessary\, casualty of such boundaries.

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.

Created by Dr. David Berceli\, PhD\, TRE safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension\, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment\, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance. We have some yoga mats available\, please bring your own if possible.\n\nLovella Calica is certified by TRE Global Certification Training Program and has liability insurance through Hands-On-Trade.\n \nShe started her practice in April of 2014 and finished my training in August of 2015. She has been providing TRE sessions to veterans\, civilians\, children\, women\, artists and various other people since that time. Practicing TRE drastically and rapidly improved her life tenfold. She felt that she jumped ahead in therapy about 5 years\, without all the talking! As a survivor of childhood trauma she had been weighed down with guilt\, anger and anxiety for much of her life. After doing TRE every other day for just one month\, she felt great relief from these symptoms\, which was even noticeable to peers. She had a new and healthier relationship with her body and felt that the space anxiety was taking in her body had been physically removed.\n\nIf you want more information on TRE\, visit www.traumaprevention.com\n\nSee more Health & Wellness Week events at: http://bit.ly/LGBTQHealthWeek2020\nGet event details at: http://bit.ly/SCeventnav\n\nSpectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:\nThe Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize.

Representing concepts of time\, memory\, openness and constraint\, the pieces are created with traditional methods\, using scissors and simple die-cutting tools\; cross-disciplinary techniques\, such as weaving and tatting used in fiber arts\; and technologies like laser cutting machines. There are two series of paper nests: one created entirely without the use of adhesive\, and the other involves tatting with knots.

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. 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.

If Shakespeare learned from Ovid and Greek drama\, if Whitman & Dickinson learned from the Bible and Hymns\, if Eliot learned from the French\, if many American poets of 60s and 70s learned from Polish poets and Latin American poets-- what about us\, our contemporaries? Where is our place in this conversation? What can we take from it for our own work?\n\nIlya Kaminsky’s widely acclaimed parable in poems\, Deaf Republic (Graywolf\, 2019)\, reads like a two-act political drama in which lyric poems trace the experiences of citizens living under martial law. A New Yorker review called it a work of “profound imagination.” Poems from Deaf Republic were awarded Poetry magazine's Levinson Prize and the Pushcart Prize. \n\nKaminsky is also the author of Dancing In Odessa (Tupelo Press\, 2004)\, and Musica Humana (Chapiteau Press\, 2002). Kaminsky has won the Whiting Writer's Award\, the American Academy of Arts and Letters' Metcalf Award\, the Dorset Prize\, a Ruth Lilly Fellowship\, and the Foreword Magazine’s Best Poetry Book of the Year award. Recently\, he was on the short-list for the Neusdadt International Literature Prize. His poems have been translated into numerous languages and his books have been published in many countries including Turkey\, Holland\, Russia\, France\, Mexico\, Macedonia\, Romania\, Spain and China\, where his poetry was awarded the Yinchuan International Poetry Prize. His poems have been compared to work by Anna Akhmatova\, Osip Mandelstam\, and Marina Tsvetaeva. \n\nHe is the editor of several anthologies\, among them The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry (Ecco\, 2010)\, co-edited with Susan Harris\, which John Ashbery praised as “immediately indispensable\;” A God in the House: Poets Talk About Faith (Tupelo Press\, 2012)\, co-edited with Katherine Towler\; Gossip and Metaphysics: Russian Modernist Poets and Prose (Tupelo Press\, 2014)\, co-edited with Katie Farris and Valzhyna Mort\; and In the Shape of the Human Body I am Visiting the Earth: Poems from Far and Wide (McSweeney's\, 2017) with Dominic Luxford and Jesse Nathan. With Jean Valentine\, he has co-translated Dark Elderberry Branch: Poems of Marina Tsvetaeva. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester.

The amendment established an Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to draw maps for Michigan electoral districts: U.S. Congress and the State House and Senate. VNP is now working to ensure success for the Commission and it is also pursuing other initiatives to enhance democracy. These 3 classes will explain what VNP has accomplished\, how VNP created a unique volunteer experience\, and how citizens can continue to improve our democracy. Participants will learn how they can participate productively in making Michigan government work better. \n\nConnie Cook has a Ph.D. in Political Science and recently retired from the University of Michigan. She now serves in a volunteer role as Regional Education Coordinator and Special Counsel to the Executive Director of Voters Not Politicians. Rena Basch has a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering\, and fifteen years-experience as an elections administrator\, serving as the Ann Arbor Charter Township Clerk. During the VNP campaign for Proposal 2\, Rena led the state-wide Outreach Committee\, and currently volunteers as the leader of Community Engagement. Connie and Rena will be joined by additional VNP volunteers in sessions on Fridays from February 7 through 21.

Most methods require that we observe all confounders\, variables that affect both the causal variables and the outcome variables. But whether we have observed all confounders is a famously untestable assumption. We describe the deconfounder\, a way to do causal inference with weaker assumptions than the classical methods require.\n\nHow does the deconfounder work? While traditional causal methods measure the effect of a single cause on an outcome\, many modern scientific studies involve multiple causes\, different variables whose effects are simultaneously of interest. The deconfounder uses the correlation among multiple causes as evidence for unobserved confounders\, combining unsupervised machine learning and predictive model checking to perform causal inference. We demonstrate the deconfounder on real-world data and simulation studies\, and describe the theoretical requirements for the deconfounder to provide unbiased causal estimates.\n\nDavid works in the fields of machine learning and Bayesian statistics.\n\nThe goal of the Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Methods is to provide an interdisciplinary environment where researchers can present and discuss cutting-edge research in quantitative methodology. The talks are aimed at a broad audience\, with emphasis on conceptual rather than technical issues. The research presented is varied\, ranging from new methodological developments to applied empirical papers that use methodology in an innovative way. We welcome speakers and audiences from all disciplines and fields\, including the social\, natural\, biomedical\, and behavioral sciences.

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:58562-15784181@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:63803-15884183@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:68063-16988490@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:20200207T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200207T170000 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.

For example\, in human-robot collaborative assembly\, robots are often required to dynamically change their pre-planned tasks to collaborate with human operators in a shared workspace. However\, the robots used today are controlled by pre-generated rigid codes that cannot support effective human-robot collaboration. In response to this need\, multi-modal yet symbiotic communication and control methods have been developed. These methods include voice processing\, gesture recognition\, haptic interaction\, and brainwave perception. Deep learning is used for classification\, recognition and context awareness identification. Within this context\, this seminar provides an overview of the current status of human-robot collaboration including its classification\, definition and characteristics. At the end of the seminar\, remaining challenges and future research directions will be highlighted.\n\nSpeaker Bio\nLihui Wang is a Chair Professor of Sustainable Manufacturing at KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, Sweden.

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.

Decomposing a National Language: Pluralism and the Origins of the Vietnamese Language DESCRIPTION:By the 1930s\, the Vietnamese vernacular language had unquestionably come to be viewed as the national language of Vietnam\, and the primary medium of anticolonial intellectuality. Nationalist thought\, which fueled the anticolonial movement\, quickly settled on a narrative—patterned after French nationalism—enshrining the Vietnamese language as a kind of ancient vessel of Vietnamese identity\, a thread that bound contemporary Vietnamese all the back to an imagined pre-Sinitic past. However\, a closer look at both the social and linguistic history of Vietnam reveals an intensely alloyed and mosaic formation of the Vietnamese language—one intimately bound up with a form of Chinese that was also native to the region. In this talk we will explore the linguistic origins of the Vietnamese language\, and discuss how these origins challenge and complicate modern nationalist conceptualizations of language and culture in Vietnam.\n \n John Phan completed his Ph.D. at Cornell University in East Asian Literature and Linguistics. After graduating at the end of 2012\, he spent two years as a JSPS post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Comparative Linguistics at the National Institute for Japanese Language & Linguistics in Tachikawa\, Tokyo. Upon returning to the States\, Dr. Phan taught for three years at Rutgers University\, before accepting a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of Vietnamese Humanities in the Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures at Columbia University. He is currently completing his first book focusing on the history of Sino-Vietic linguistic contact\, and is cocurrently working on the emergence of vernacular literary practice in medieval Vietnam. In addition to the nature of linguistic contact and broad issues in linguistic change and historical phonology\, he is keenly interested in the cultural and intellectual ramifications of multiple languages coexisting in single East Asian societies\, of linguistic pluralism in general\, and of the transformation of oral languages into written literary mediums in historically diglossic cultures of East and Southeast Asia. His current work focuses largely on the rise of the vernacular Vietnamese script known as Chữ Nôm\, and its development alongside a sustained and flourishing tradition of Literary Chinese composition.\n\n--- \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

This asks the question\, with all this power why would a leader ever relinquish their position? Little work has looked comparatively at why leaders step down from office due to data limitations. We contribute to the literature on party politics and leader tenure by providing a new dataset of leadership changes in advanced industrial democracies from 1960-2017. This dataset includes approximately 1\,400 party leaders\, and it codes why leaders step down using primary and secondary sources. With these original data\, we investigate the drivers of leadership change across time and space. We find that electoral loss and intra-party ousting are the most common forms of leadership change\, suggesting that voters and party members have effective power to check leaders. Even though we analyze cases with different party systems and institutions our findings suggest similar outcomes. A leader’s survival is contingent on party member and voter support. We test the relationship between vote loss\, incumbency status\, and leadership change to understand the role of external drivers on party organization. This new data provides a unique tool for understanding party organization more broadly.\n\nJulia Maynard is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan. She studies party politics and voting behavior mostly within the context of European Politics. Her interests are within the dynamics of mainstream parties and niche parties- how these parties react to each other as well as reasons why voters would choose one over the other.\n\nThe Interdisciplinary Workshop in Comparative Politics (IWCP) provides a platform for sharing and improving research that provides comparative perspectives on the causes and effects of political and economic processes. We have participants from Economics\, the Ford School of Public Policy\, the Law School\, the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Mathematics\, Political Science\, the Ross School of Business\, Sociology\, Statistics\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

In this talk I present new work on boundedly rational ethical decisions in which we show empirically that patterns of so-called contextual preference reversals that arise in economic and other domains also arise in problems involving choice among disaster rescue plans with different probabilistic outcomes for saving lives. These reversals are widely understood to challenge characterizations of human decision making grounded in rational choice theory\, but recent theoretical work (Howes et al.\, 2016) demonstrates how they arise from an agent making expected utility-maximizing choices in the face of perceptual and cognitive bounds. We show that this general theory extends naturally to our new empirical paradigm\, demonstrating the possibility of rigorous accounts of bounded rationality in ethical domains. I will also preview new empirical work that uses process-tracing methods to investigate decision strategies in a domain based on a complex real-world legal decision problem: setting bail.

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.

He marked the beginning of what was expected to be a grand experiment. Winthrop rightly anticipated that the colonial endeavors unfolding in North America presented a chance for self-determination\, collective identity\, and industriousness. And yet\, he could not have conceived of the legacy of that experiment or the challenges that would come with it. In this study group\, we will explore how diverse writers represented\, challenged\, and helped to create the dominant cultural narratives that remain influential in our nation today. We will read (in the following order): Charles Brockden Brown’s Wieland\, Susanna Rowson’s Charlotte Temple\, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables\, Herman Melville’s Benito Cereno\, Frank Norris’s McTeague\, and John Niehardt’s Black Elk Speaks.

Conflicting results have been presented at both local and global scales arguing for either clear coupling between climate and tectonics or a complete dominance of tectonics. Ultimately\, careful analysis of the details of the nebulously defined ‘climate’\, structural geometries\, and topography (as this serves as the interface between tectonic and surface processes) are required to resolve these issues. Here I present a case study of an active collisional orogen\, the Greater Caucasus\, where gradients in both climate and tectonics do not appear to be reflected in the topography\, suggesting that this area may have a lot to teach us about the more general question. In detail\, the Greater Caucasus mountains are a young (~5 Ma)\, active orogenic system that is the current locus of NE-SW convergence within the central Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. Importantly\, the orogen is characterized by a variety of NW-SE\, along-strike gradients including an order of magnitude eastward decrease in mean annual precipitation from ~2 to ~0.5 m/yr and an order of magnitude eastward increase in geodetic shortening velocity from ~2 to ~12 mm/yr. Despite these gradients\, the topography of the range is surprisingly similar along-strike which suggests: (1) broadly similar rates of rock uplift\, and (2) very limited influence of precipitation on the topography of the range. However\, this hypothesis is predicated on the existence of a single relationship between topography and uplift/erosion rate. Here we test this assumption with a new suite of erosion rates estimated from catchment averaged 10Be inventories along the southern range front of the GC. Erosion rates range from 30-5600 m/Myr with the majority of rates being below 2000 m/Myr. Our results are consistent with a single relationship between erosion rate and topography as quantified by normalized channel steepness (ksn). These data also indicate a strongly non-linear relationship between ksn and erosion rate such that topography seem insensitive to increases in erosion rate beyond ~500 m/Myr. There is limited evidence of any influence of mean precipitation on either the topography or the erosion rates of the GC. We hypothesize that this lack of sensitivity to mean precipitation and the related non-linearity in the ksn - erosion rate relationship may be linked to the extremely low variability in runoff observed in gauged basins throughout the region\, a hypothesis consistent with theoretical expectations of a stochastic threshold incision model. Spatial patterns in 10Be erosion rates largely mirror those observed in a suite of available bedrock low-temperature thermochronologic cooling ages and new detrital zircon (U-Th)/He ages\, i.e. areas with high erosion rates generally have young cooling ages and total amounts of exhumation seem largely constant along-strike within the range\, suggesting that this pattern is long-lived. More broadly\, the results from the Caucasus reflect that local nuances in both the climate and tectonics are essential for understanding the potential for (or lack of) coupling between surface processes and tectonics.

But\,\n\nHow did solar become inexpensive? And why did it take so long?\nAs a 2017 Andrew Carnegie Fellow I had the opportunity to dive deeply into these questions\, drawing on new data sets\, analyses\, and interviewing 75 individuals in 18 countries. The concept of National Innovation Systems provides a theoretical structure for this assessment and helps explain that PV’s success has been the result of distinct contributions mainly by the US\, Japan\, Germany\, Australia\, and China—in that sequence. Flows of knowledge from one country to another—often embodied in equipment\, and also as tacit knowledge in the heads of internationally mobile individuals—have been central to solar’s progress. One payoff from understanding the reasons for solar’s success is that it can serve as a model for other low-carbon technologies. I focus on direct air carbon capture and small nuclear reactors. However other technologies would have to progress much faster than PV to be helpful for climate change. Possible approaches for accelerating innovation include: dynamic R&D foci\, codification of knowledge\, public procurement\, robust markets\, enhancing knowledge mobility\, and addressing political economy considerations. \n\nSpeaker: Professor Gregory F. Nemet\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\nGregory Nemet is a Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in the La Follette School of Public Affairs.

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.

The Extradition Bill incident led to a wide-reaching social movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only ways through which Hong Kong people expressed their opinions. Promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes also played significant roles in the movement. In this exhibition\, we will present these incredible art pieces\, exploring their aesthetics and functions.

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:58562-15784182@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:63803-15884184@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.

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.

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.

It is what criminologists call the “dark figure of crime”\, that opaque amount of unreported and consequentially uncared-for\, crimes. Shifting the point of interest from the killer to the victims is what makes Kim Tae-kyun’s new film “Dark Figure of Crime” stand out from the abundance of South Korean serial killer movies. Based on a true story\, the project was inspired by a TV program called “Unanswered” whose incredible quantity of source cases made director Kim Tae-kyun think about the families of the vanished victims and their suspended lives in a limbo of uncertainty\, as he told us in the Q&A after the screening.” – ADRIANA ROSATI\, Asian Movie Pulse\n\nCheck out Asian Movie Pulse’s full review here: https://asianmoviepulse.com/2019/03/film-review-dark-figure-of-crime-2018-by-kim-tae-kyun-2/\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.
