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:58562-15784183@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:63803-15884185@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:68063-16988492@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:20200209T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200209T170000 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.

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.

Withdrawal is marked by affective\, cognitive\, and physical symptoms that may hinder dietary change. A recently developed scale of highly processed food withdrawal in adults (ProWS) provides evidence for this construct. Children commonly consume highly processed foods\, but no measures currently exist to examine highly processed food withdrawal in children. The purpose of this study was to develop a measure (ProWS-C) to assess for signs of highly processed food withdrawal in children.\n\nParents who had recently attempted to reduce their child’s highly processed food consumption were recruited through an online crowdsourcing platform. 304 parents (56.9% mothers) reported on their 3-11-year-old children (63.8% male). The ProWS-C was designed to reflect parents’ observations of child behavior. Internal consistency and validity were evaluated using the Dimensional Yale Food Addiction Scale Version 2.0 for Children (dYFAS-C 2.0.)\, Children’s Food Neophobia Scale-Modified (CFNS)\, and body mass index (BMI) silhouettes.\n\nExploratory factor analysis revealed a one-factor structure with 21 items (α=0.94). The ProWS-C demonstrated convergent validity with more child food addiction symptoms (r=.55\, p<.001) and higher child BMI (r=.24\, p<.001) and discriminant validity with child food neophobia (r=-.10\, p=.08). The ProWS-C was associated with less success in reducing child highly processed food intake independent of child addictive-like eating and BMI (p=.001).\n\nThe ProWS-C provides preliminary evidence for highly processed food withdrawal in children and appears to be a psychometrically sound tool for assessing parent-reported withdrawal symptoms in children. Illuminating specific challenges families face when reducing highly processed foods may improve parents’ ability to help their children make sustainable dietary changes.

Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\n#skyshapes\n\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist\, artist\, historian\, librarian\, developer\, educator. He’s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences\, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems\, some of his own making and some from other people. He has a BFA from Washington University\, an MS from Oxford\, and a PhD from Columbia University in chemistry. Lancaster is based in Rutherford\, NJ where he freelances as a product developer and educational & business consultant. He is co-founder and chief technology officer of Fondo\, a startup focused on helping young people visualize their paths into the future of work via structured serendipity and exploration. \n\nLee Marchalonis is a Lecturer in Stamps School of Art & Design and lead printer at Signal Return letterpress shop in Detroit’s Eastern Market. She has a MFA in printmaking from the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville where she also worked as a letterpress printer at Yee-Haw Industries. She has printed professionally at Kala Institute in Berkeley\, California and studied book arts at the University of Iowa. She was a recipient of a year long Stein Scholarship at the Center for Book Arts in New York City in 2013\, and her work is in Special Collections libraries throughout the U.S.\n\nEllen Rutt is a Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist and activist who has a BFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design. She makes bold mixed-media paintings\, murals\, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment\, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo\, Hawaii.\n\nAbout the Curator:\n\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist\, educator\, curator\, and musician based in Southwest Detroit. Thompson grew up in Kansas City\, MO and received his BFA in Sculpture from the Kansas City Art Institute.

Trends in Cog Sci 2017).\n\nParents have large influence on offspring’s brain and cognitive development. The Intergenerational Multiple Deficit Model (iMDM [van Bergen et al. Front Hum Neurosci 2014]\; or Cumulative Risk and Protection Model\, CRAP Model) affords integration of parental influences as well as others\, whether genetic or environmental\, and whether risk or protective factors\, to explain individual differences in reading ability and liability for developing dyslexia\, a specific disorder of reading. Further\, it has recently been suggested that most complex traits show intergenerational sex-specific transmission patterns\, which could help uncover biological pathways of transmission. Macrocircuits using imaging may be an ideal target for investigations of intergenerational effects\, where key causes may converge in ways that lead to complex phenotypes such as reading and dyslexia.\n\nBased on these notions\, we are currently examining how parental cognitive and neuroimaging patterns are associated with offspring’s reading and related imaging patterns (e.g. Black et al. NeuroImage 2012\, Hosseini et al. NeuroImage 2013\, Hoeft & Hancock. Geschwind-Galaburda Hypothesis\, 30 years Later 2017\, Chang et al. under prep). We first establish the feasibility of this novel approach\, intergenerational neuroimaging\, by confirming matrilineal transmission patterns in the cortico-limbic system that is well established in gene expression and behavioral studies of animals and humans (Yamagata et al. J Neurosci 2016). We then interrogate network patterns related to reading\, and show intergenerational transmission patterns. We also show results indicating how paternal age may negatively predict reading outcome and the potential neural mechanism (e.g. attention\, thalamic development\, de novo mutation [Xia et al. under review]). We discuss preliminary findings in light of historical and latest causal theories of dyslexia. We also introduce our new research program utilizing a natural cross-fostering design will allow us to dissociate genetic\, prenatal and postnatal environmental influences\, which has traditionally not been feasible in humans\, but is critically important in dissecting neurobiological mechanisms underlying reading and dyslexia (Ho et al. Trends in Neuroscience. 2016).

As a former senior executive with Apple in China (2014-19)\, he will be on campus to provide his experience and insight on organizational strategy and structure.\n\nTalk Title: Organizational Strategy and Structure in the Era of Xi Jinping: The Case of Apple in China\n\nChina is a critical location for multinational corporations for a number of reasons: It is the world’s most populous nation\, arguably the world’s largest market\, and it is home to the world’s most innovative supply chain. After a decade of the Chinese government’s laissez-faire attitude toward foreign corporations operating in China (under Hu Jintao)\, in 2013\, the political environment changed significantly with the ascension of Xi Jinping. Many foreign corporations were caught off guard\, and some paid a heavy price. How companies responded to this new political environment is a question of organizational strategy\, structure\, and design — issues that are at the core of organizational research. In this talk\, drawing on decades of China research\, and five years as a senior executive working for Apple in China (2014-19)\, I will use the Apple case to discuss the complexities of navigating China’s current political environment. We will explore Apple’s unique organizational structure — both internally and externally — and its strategy for approaching this critical challenge.

In my talk\, I will discuss how to control quantum pathway interferences in an ultracold molecule formation that is induced by a laser light\, a process known as photoassociation (PA). We utilize a Rb-87 Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) apparatus where all-optically-trapped condensates are prepared in superposition of different spin states in the F=1 hyperfine level. By controlling the cumulative phase of the reactants taking different scattering channels\, we interferometrically control the normalized PA rate with perfect visibility. To control the relative phase between the two quantum pathways (scattering channels of spin 0 pairs and spin +1/-1 pairs)\, we exploit the inherent quadratic energy shift at low magnetic bias field strengths and a free evolution time after a spin population transfer with an RF pulse. Our method also serves as a robust measurement technique to determine quadratic Zeeman energy splitting. \n\nShort bio: \nDr. Hasan Esat Kondakci received his Ph.D. in 2015 from CREOL\, the College of Optics & Photonics at the University of Central Florida\, where he studied photon statistics in disordered lattices under the supervision of Prof. Bahaa Saleh (primary) and Prof. Ayman Abouraddy. Following his Ph.D.\, he worked on diffraction-free space-time light sheets and coherence phenomena in Prof. Ayman Abouraddy's lab at CREOL. Currently\, he is a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Yong Chen's lab at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Purdue University. His current research interests include spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates\, photo-association of ultracold atoms\, and deterministic state rotations in d-dimensional Hilbert space.\n\n UID:72526-18011608@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72526 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Randall Laboratory - 4246 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200318T092053 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200210T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200210T170000 SUMMARY:Meeting:CANCELED - LSA/Ross MDDP Info Sessions DESCRIPTION:CANCELED - \n\nIf you are interested in applying for the Multiple Dependent Degree Program (MDDP) between LSA and the Ross School of Business you must attend an MDDP information session.\n\nInfo sessions will be held in Angell Hall\, Room G243 at 4:00 p.m. on the following dates: \n\nJanuary 27\nJanuary 30\nFebruary 10\nFebruary 13\nMarch 23\nMarch 26\nApril 20\nApril 21 UID:70878-17726697@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70878 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Advising LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200210T181648 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200210T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200210T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Low-energy Nuclear Recoils for Fun and Profit DESCRIPTION:I will discuss the rapidly-changing panorama of experiments seeking to measure the faint signals produced by keV and sub-keV nuclear recoils in radiation detectors.

She attended Brown University\, where she earned her BA and MA in Classics. She has taught and tutored Latin\, Greek\, and Shakespeare to high school students for over fifteen years.\n\nShe has also studied at the University of Chicago’s Committee on Social Thought\, and in the Dramaturgy department at Yale School of Drama\, where she focused on the adaptation of classical texts to modern forms.\n\nThe Song of Achilles\, her first novel\, was awarded the 2012 Orange Prize for Fiction and was a New York Times Bestseller. Miller was also shortlisted for the 2012 Stonewall Writer of the Year. Her second novel\, Circe\, was an instant number 1 New York Times bestseller\, and won the Indies Choice Best Adult Fiction of the Year Award and the Indies Choice Best Audiobook of the Year Award\, as well as being shortlisted for the 2019 Women's Prize for Fiction. Circe also won The Red Tentacle Award\, an American Library Association Alex Award (adult books of special interest to teen readers)\, and the 2018 Elle Big Book Award.

DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Reception to follow.\n\nAutomation has been significantly improving safety\, efficiency\, and throughput in aviation for decades. Automation in autonomous vehicles (AVs) offers similar improvement potential on our streets and highways. Automation on the ground\, however\, will be far more complex and challenging than in aviation. Given existing skepticism about AVs\, crashes that could have been avoided by paying attention to lessons learned in aviation are particularly unfortunate because they will delay implementation of these life-saving technologies. In addition\, the AV industry will face many automation challenges that were not encountered in aviation. The transformative changes from AVs will introduce major changes and challenges for federal\, state and local governments.\n\nChristopher A. Hart is the founder of Hart Solutions LLP\, which specializes in improving safety in a variety of contexts\, including the safety of automation in motor vehicles\, workplace safety\, and process safety in potentially hazardous industries.\n\nMr. Hart is also Chairman of the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission\, a three-jurisdictional agency (MD\, VA\, DC) that was created to oversee the safety of the Washington area mass transit subway system. He was also asked by the Federal Aviation Administration to lead the Joint Authorities Technical Review that was created bring together the certification authorities of 10 countries\, as well as NASA\, to review the robustness of the FAA certification of the flight control systems of the Boeing 737 MAX and make recommendations as needed to improve the certification process.\n\nUntil February 2018 Mr. Hart was a Member of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). In March\, 2015\, he was nominated by President Obama and confirmed by the Senate to be Chairman\, which he was until March\, 2017. Prior to that he was Vice Chairman\, after being nominated by President Obama and confirmed by the Senate in 2009 and 2013. The NTSB investigates major transportation accidents in all modes of transportation\, determines probable cause\, and makes recommendations to prevent recurrences. He was previously a Member of the NTSB in 1990\, having been nominated by (the first) President Bush.\n\nMr. Hart’s previous positions include:\nDeputy Director\, Air Traffic Safety Oversight Service\, Federal Aviation Administration\,\nAssistant Administrator for System Safety\, FAA\,\nDeputy Administrator for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)\,\nDeputy Assistant General Counsel to the Department of Transportation\,\nManaging partner of Hart & Chavers\, a Washington\, D.C.\, law firm\, and\nAttorney with the Air Transport Association.\n\nMr. Hart has a law degree from Harvard Law School and a Master’s Degree and a Bachelor’s Degree (magna cum laude) in Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. He is a member of the District of Columbia Bar and the Lawyer-Pilots Bar Association\, and he is a pilot with commercial\, multi-engine\, and instrument ratings.

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.

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 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.

Treating head movement as part of this post-syntactic process allows us to explain why some basic properties of head movement differ so significantly from phrasal movement. This talk reviews some versions of this idea and formulates an explicit computational model\, extending the framework of Yu and Stabler's (2017) treatment of Samoan syntax/prosody. This perspective preserves a rigorous connection to parsing models\, but leaves many puzzles\, some of which are briefly surveyed here.

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.

This is true in a remarkably wide variety of taxa\, which raises questions about how early experiences ‘embed’ themselves in the body\, as well as whether the adaptive tradeoffs organisms make when dealing with early adversity are primarily driven by short-term or long-term payoffs. Wild savannah baboons\, like humans\, can face a variety of social and ecological hardships when they are young. These experiences can lead to vastly shortened lifespans\, but we do not yet understand the mechanisms by which this occurs. In this talk\, I will present new data on the relationships among early adversity\, adult social bonds\, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function in a population of wild baboons in Amboseli\, Kenya\, which has been studied since the 1970s. I will also discuss ongoing research on competing hypotheses that seek to explain the relationship between early social environments and reproductive outcomes. Longitudinal data from this close human relative provide valuable insights into the biological bases of connections between early experience and adult outcomes in our own species.

This presentation will describe some of the research that has been conducted within the PHOEBE Laboratory\, including the BEAP (Built Environment and Active Play)\, PEAT (Physical Environment and Active Transportation)\, and PLIGHT (Purple Line Impact on Neighborhood\, Health and Transit) Studies. Highlights and findings from the BEAP and PEAT Studies on youth physical activity\, sedentary behavior\, and active transportation will be discussed. In addition\, an introductory overview of the PLIGHT Study\, a natural experiment examining the health impacts of the forthcoming Purple Line light rail line in the Washington\, DC\, metropolitan area\, will be presented.\n\nLunch will be provided for those who register by February 7.\n\nBio:\nJennifer D. Roberts is an Assistant Professor of Kinesiology at the University of Maryland School of Public Health. She is also the Director of the Public Health Outcomes and Effects of the Built Environment (PHOEBE) Laboratory. Her research interests focus on the relationship between the built environment and physical activity in addition to its impact on obesity and other public health outcomes. More specifically\, much of her research has explored the dynamic relationship between environmental\, social and cultural determinants of physical activity and using empirical evidence of this relationship to infer complex health outcome patterns and disparities among adults and children.\n\nPHOEBE Laboratory research\, such as the Built Environment and Active Play (BEAP) and Physical Environment and Active Transportation (PEAT) Studies\, have incorporated state of the art techniques including spatial analysis and geographic information system modeling in order to objectively capture the role and relationship of physical activity determinants. While relying heavily on mixed methodology\, crosscutting health issues\, along with exposure (e.g.\, transit deserts) and outcome (e.g.\, obesity) disparities\, have also been addressed in her physical activity and public health research program. Dr. Roberts currently leads the Purple Line Light Rail Impact on Neighborhood\, Health and Transit (PLIGHT) Study\, to investigate changes in light rail use\, active transportation\, overall physical activity\, obesity\, and obesity-related cardiovascular risks among Prince George’s County\, Maryland\, adults. The PLIGHT Study will also explore how contextual effects (e.g.\, built environment\; “sense of community”) moderate these health outcome changes with the intended 2022 introduction of this new 16.2-mile light rail line.\n\nDr. Roberts was awarded a JPB Environmental Health Fellowship by Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. This three-year fellowship will support her forthcoming research\, Gauging Effects of Neighborhood Trends and Sickness (GENTS) Study: Examining the Perception of Transit-Induced Gentrification in Prince George’s County. GENTS will examine the risk of transit-induced gentrification and the associated health effects (e.g.\, anxiety) as related to the aforementioned Purple Line light rail. While the introduction of light rail in communities often encourages physical activity by way of active transportation\, gentrification is often an unintended consequence and socioeconomic by-product of transit-oriented development.\n\nDr. Roberts received her Bachelor of Arts (AB) degree from Brown University. She holds a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree from Emory University Rollins School of Public Health and earned her Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) degree from Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health.\n\n\n\nThe U-M Precision Health Seminar Series invites expert speakers to share meaningful\, relevant\, and late-breaking research on varied aspects of precision health. The interdisciplinary educational series\, which takes place monthly during the academic year\, features topics ranging from genetics to big data to health implementation (and much more) and is open to students\, faculty\, practitioners\, staff\, trainees\, and the general public. Our goal is to increase understanding of precision health data\, tools\, and applications\, to engage the academic community to enhance precision health research\, and to support the implementation of precision health to health systems.

Beginning by articulating the concept of “signs of disability”—a means of making disability available for perception using a variety of embodied\, environmental\, and discursive practices—this talk moves through some of the experiences and encounters that disabled faculty have shared in research interviews\, published accounts\, and surveys. What such accounts reveal is that the emergence of disability and concomitant development of access and accommodation practices is part of a dynamic interrelationship between institutional cultures\, environments for disability\, and various ways that disability is available for noticing (or not-noticing) within faculty bodies and practices. The talk will conclude with some next-steps and questions for those interested and invested in creating more broadly inclusive academic environments for all members of the campus community\, including faculty.

Like the latter two oxygenases\, the transfer of two electrons from NADH to the RO metal centers is required for reaction. Oxygen activation and insertion into substrates occurs at the mononuclear Fe(II) center\, but one electron transfer from the reduced Rieske cluster is required at some point during the reaction cycle to observe product formation. The involvement of 2 electrons and oxygen at the mononuclear Fe suggests that at least three different types of reactive oxygen intermediates can be envisioned: (1) stepwise electron transfer with intermediate formation of a reactive Fe(III)-superoxo species\, (2) two electron transfer to oxygen to form an Fe(III)-peroxo species\, or (3) O-O bond cleavage of the peroxo-intermediate to form a high-valent reactive species. Ongoing biochemical and chemical biomimetic studies suggest that all three reactive oxygen species may be represented within the RO family despite nearly identical metal environments. Indeed\, when presented with different substrates\, a single RO enzyme may adopt two or more of these strategies depending on the relative ease of substrate oxidation versus the rate of electron transfer between metal centers \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJohn Lipscomb (University of Minnesota) UID:65210-16549472@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65210 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200121T092942 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200211T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200211T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cooking Around the Great Lakes DESCRIPTION:Strawberry shortcake\, Chili Mac\, and buttered parsnips: for these and many other delights from the Great Lakes region\, visit the Special Collections Research Center.

What if Adolf Hitler had been assassinated in 1939? What if a Jewish state had been established in Uganda instead of Palestine? In his talk\, Gavriel D. Rosenfeld discusses how these and other counterfactual questions would have affected the course of Jewish history. Drawing on his edited volume\, \"What Ifs of Jewish History\" (2016)\, he discusses why Jewish historians were historically slow to adopt the increasingly popular methodology of counterfactual reasoning in their work\, and how they have finally begun to do so in recent years. He concludes with some reflections on the merits of speculating about how the course of Jewish history might have been different.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

They lived in private houses in Trenton\, marched up Broadway in New York\, and came to blows with colonists in Boston. What was it like to live in this world?\n\nDrawing on his new book \"Quarters: The Accommodation of the British Army and the Coming of the American Revolution\" (which he largely researched at the Clements Library)\, John McCurdy explains how the colonists made room for redcoats by reimagining places like home\, city\, and empire. They insisted on a right to privacy in their houses and civilian control of troops stationed in their cities\, both of which they achieved through the Quartering Act. McCurdy also explores how protests by the Sons of Liberty and events like the Boston Massacre caused the civilian-martial comity to unravel such that Americans ultimately declared the “quartering of large bodies of armed troops among us” to be a reason for independence. \n\nThis lecture is presented in collaboration with the U-M Eisenberg Institute\, which supported McCurdy's work on this book through a Residency Research Grant. John G. McCurdy is Professor of History and Philosophy at Eastern Michigan University.

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.

Yes\, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I\, unfortunately\, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”\n\nValery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation\, Florida\, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, Lagos\, Bilbao\, and Melbourne. In 2018 she received the Gold AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award\, an annual award recognizing artists of Korean heritage in the United States.

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

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

As one of the largest subsets of biosensors\, biomolecular sensors are specifically developed and programmed to detect\, quantify and analyze biomolecules in liquid samples.\n \nWide-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.\n \nIn 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.\n \nOur 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.

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.

Terroir\, Ecological Stewardship\, and Heritage Politics in the Bulgarian Wine Industry DESCRIPTION:Bulgaria is arguably one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world\, and built a large\, highly industrialized and export-oriented wine sector during state socialism as a wine-producing specialist of COMECON (the economic alliance of Soviet allies). When socialism collapsed in 1989\, the wine industry faced multiple challenges\, including the accepted international hierarchy of wine-producing countries through which Bulgarian wines then became understood and marketed. In this talk\, I examine the contestations over the idea of *terroir* (a taste of place) among Bulgarian wine professionals to understand how wine is involved in heritage projects. As new resources and opportunities became available through EU heritage politics in which wine traditions became a central piece of the heritage industry and of agricultural and rural development\, these debates highlight diverse meanings of ecological stewardship in light of heritage preservation. Understanding wine as a cultural heritage raises important questions of whose and which past is worthy of preservation\, and why. The tensions within the Bulgarian wine industry\, namely reconciling the cultural pride of winemaking heritage with a competitive hierarchical global wine market\, illustrate the multi-faceted aspects of culture\, ecology\, and politics in the era of post-Cold War globalization.\n \nYuson Jung is associate professor of anthropology at Wayne State University. Her research explores issues of consumption\, food politics\, globalization\, and postsocialism. She is the author of \"Balkan Blues: Consumer Politics after State Socialism\" (Indiana University Press\, 2019) which examines everyday consumer experience in postsocialist Bulgaria. She has also co-edited (with Jakob Klein and Melissa Caldwell) \"Ethical Eating in the Postsocialist and Socialist World\" (University of California Press\, 2014). Currently\, she is working on a book project entitled \"The Cultural Politics of Wine: Globalization\, Heritage\, and the Transformation of the Bulgarian Wine Industry\,\" as well as on a collaborative research project (with Andrew Newman) regarding food politics and urban governance in Detroit.\n\nThis lecture is part of the WCEE environment series.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

I will show how the attractive self-interactions of dark matter (DM) axions over a broad range of masses\, from 10^−22 eV to 10^7 GeV\, can lead to nongravitational growth of density fluctuations and the formation of bound objects. This structure formation enhancement is driven by parametric resonance when the initial field misalignment is large\, and it affects axion density perturbations on length scales of order the Hubble horizon when the axion field starts oscillating\, deep inside the radiation-dominated era. This effect can turn an otherwise nearly scale-invariant spectrum of adiabatic perturbations into one that has a spike at the aforementioned scales\, producing objects ranging from dense DM halos to scalar-field configurations such as solitons and oscillons. This \"large-misalignment mechanism\" leads to various observational consequences in gravitational lensing and interactions\, baryonic structures and star formation\, direct detection (including for the QCD axion)\, and stochastic gravitational waves.

To address the endogeneity between firms' lobbying expenditure and their size\, we propose a new instrument. Specifically\, we measure firms' political connections based on the geographic proximity between their headquarter locations and politicians' districts in the U.S.\, and trace the value of these networks over time by exploiting politicians' assignment to congressional committees. We find that a 10 percent increase in lobbying expenditure leads to a 3 percent gain in revenue. To investigate the macroeconomic consequences of these effects\, we develop a heterogeneous firm-level model with endogenous lobbying. Using a novel dataset that we construct\, we document new stylized facts about lobbying behavior and use them\, including the one from the instrument\, to estimate the model. Our counterfactual analysis shows that the return to firms' lobbying activities amounts to a 22 percent decrease in aggregate productivity in the U.S.\n\nIn Song Kim's research interests include International Political Economy\, Formal and Quantitative Methodology. \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.

Cities in countries with well developed economies like the U.S. enjoy economic prosperity in part due to the development of heavily centralized water systems that create high levels of water quality and public health\, on average. While centralized water infrastructure has served us well\, I argue that we should not be constrained to applying 20th century thinking as we plan for the future. The current revolution in information technologies (IT: software\, hardware and devices) has the potential to transform urban water infrastructure by creating more resilient and flexible hybrid systems comprised of an interacting collection of centralized and decentralized physical IT systems. I contend that the development of IT-enabled “smart” hybrid water system solutions has the potential to: improve the efficiency with which we use resources (e.g.\, water\, power\,\nnutrients)\; enhance equitable access to water services\; change consumer and provider behavior around water\; and ensure that we sustain a high level of public health\, even as more people live in close proximity to each other. In this talk and through the use of case studies from across different regions around the globe\, I will explore these scenarios and the changing ways in which people live. As an example\, one case study will include the development of “smart” distributed nutrient recovery systems that have been deployed and are being tested at the University of Michigan.\n\nNancy Love is the Borchardt and Glysson Collegiate Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan.

This demographic shift highlights the increasing importance of fully explaining the mechanisms that drive changes in outcomes relevant to older adults. Merging evolutionary perspectives on fundamental social motivations with current aging research\, we propose a framework for understanding cognitive and behavioral outcomes in older adults from an ultimate\, threat-based perspective. Using publically available secondary IAT data from Project Implicit (N = 552\,288)\, we present a disease-specific test case for our framework. Preliminary results reveal flexible\, specific responses to different disease-relevant targets across the lifespan that may be tied to age-dependent threats.\n\nNadia Vossoughi:\n\nTitle: Witnessing microaggressions in an engineering context harms learning and participation.\n\nAbstract: Experiencing microaggressions—defined as subtle verbal\, behavioral\, or environmental slights directed towards someone due to their social category (Sue\, 2010)—impedes academic success among marginalized students in science and engineering (e.g.\, Moss-Racusin et al.\, 2018\; Adams et al.\, 2006). Most research examining the consequences of microaggressions has focused on directly experiencing microaggressions\, but we propose that just witnessing microaggressions may create a negative environment that also impedes academic success. Using an experimental design\, we showed undergraduate science and engineering students (n=208) video footage of a mixed gender group working on a design project that participants believed they would later join. From the video footage participants either witnessed subtle bias directed at a woman by a man (microaggression condition) or subtle bias did not occur in the interactions (control condition). We find that just witnessing microaggressions leads to lower memory retention of engineering material\, and decreased desire to join their group (ps<.05). The negative effect of witnessing microaggressions was present for both men and women and remained significant after controlling for confidence in one’s engineering abilities and rejection sensitivity. Results indicate that the presence of microaggressions contributes to a negative environment that is detrimental to everyone’s academic learning and participation.

A SIG brings people together who have a common interest that they wish to pursue indefinitely within a structure of meetings and activities designed primarily by the members of the group. \n\nA SIG does not have a formal class syllabus. Members of a SIG determine the content and discussion of a SIG. A designated facilitator arranges meetings\, takes attendance\, and initiates the discussion among the SIG members on how the group will operate. \n\n\nThe Mystery Book Club is all about mysteries. Mysteries are the only genre of literature where an author offers readers a chance to figure out the story for themselves. We all love identifying the villain before he or she’s revealed. But some authors do this better than others. \n\nOur book club is unique in that we seek out authors who are not really in the public eye and then critique their ability to do just that\, i.e. spin a tale that keeps the reader engrossed right up to the last page. We do have a long list of authors that our members have expressed an interest in reading. Each month we pick a different author from that list. Everyone is then free to read any number of this author’s works that they choose and submit their evaluation to the group at our meeting. \n\nOpinions given are quite honest\, always enlightening\, and the resulting discussions are always lively. Each person’s review of the author ends by answering the question: “Would you recommend this author to a friend?” \n\nThis Shared Interest will be facilitated by Sydney Kaufman and will meet the second Wednesday of every month.

Dashboard displays are seen as powerful metacognitive tools\, and delivering them to learners is intended to support awareness and decision-making\, and trigger self-reflection. Despite their increasing availability\, recent meta-reviews of the existing research on LADs have revealed that there are few empirical studies on the impact of dashboards on student motivation\, behavior\, and skills. In this talk I will present the student dashboard we have designed and tested here at the University at Michigan\, called MyLA (My Learning Analytics). In a partnership between the School of Information\, School of Education\, and the Teaching and Learning group at ITS\, we have created a Canvas-integrated dashboard that uses design principles derived from Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) theory combined with a focus on accessible and actionable information. Based data from 10 Winter 2019 courses where MyLA was available\, I will describe our early findings about how UM students have used the dashboard\, and the relationships between dashboard use with performance and measures of self-regulation. \n\nBio: Dr. Teasley is a Research Professor in the School of Information\, the Director of the Learning Education & Design Lab (LED Lab)\, and Core Faculty member of the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) at the University of Michigan. Her recent work has focused on assembling and utilizing institutionally-held student data to design and evaluate new ways to support student success in Higher Education. From 2016-2018 she was the president of the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR)\, and she is currently the chair of the International Alliance for the Advancement of Learning in the Digital Era (IAALDE).

The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\nThe workshop will run from February 5 to April 15\, 2020. Participants meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. There will be no meeting on March 4. \nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll UID:71150-17783449@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71150 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English As A Second Language,Graduate,International,Language,Speech Language Pathology,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Workshop LOCATION:V.

Whereas Barack Obama self-consciously presented himself as a candidate who just happened to be black\, and generally ran away from the topic\, we are now witnessing the startling spectacle of mainstream Democratic candidates vying to be the most progressive on issues of race. Indeed\, large percentages of white liberals now endorse a structural analysis of racial domination. For those of us old enough to remember the evasions of past electoral campaigns\, and the hegemony in the Obama years of norms of “post-raciality” and “color-blindness\,” it is a welcome and remarkable change\, one doubtless attributable to multiple factors\, from the activism of “Black Lives Matter!” on the one hand to the ominous rise of white nationalism and the alt-right on the other.\n\nBut what does philosophy have to say on this issue? After all\, philosophers in the Western tradition like to think of themselves as the go-to guys on matters of justice\, in a history that (supposedly) stretches 2500 years all the way back to ancient Greece. And since its revival half a century ago by John Rawls’s 1971 A Theory of Justice\, mainstream Anglo-American liberal political philosophy has expressly taken social justice as its central theme. Where better to seek guidance on the subject of racial justice\, then\, than in the work of political philosophers\, especially American political philosophers\, citizens of what has historically been a white supremacist state? \n\nAlas\, any such expectations would be sadly disappointed. “White” political philosophy and “white” liberalism\, including Rawls and Rawlsianism\, have generally been part of the problem rather than part of the solution. In this lecture\, I will offer some thoughts and diagnoses on the causes of this troubling history\, and some suggestions for the development of a new liberalism\, one that recognizes its historic role in the creation and consolidation of white supremacy\, and is committed\, unlike currently hegemonic varieties of liberalism\, to ending it.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

During the second half of the twentieth century\, unfavorable portrayals of Jews appeared in a period of time marked by turmoil and conflict between Egypt and the nascent state of Israel. Representations of Jews in contemporary Egyptian literary works\, however\, mark a shift from portrayals influenced by the Arab-Israeli conflict which internalized negative Jewish stereotypes. Twenty-first century novelistic productions\, however\, invoked Jewish portrayals to shape Egypt as a multiethnic and multicultural society of which Jews were an integral part.

Yet in both the aging and diseased heart the relationships between cardiac work rate and concentrations of ATP\, ADP\, and inorganic phosphate are altered. Important outstanding questions are: To what extent do changes in metabolite concentrations that occur in aging and heart disease affect metabolic/molecular processes in the myocardium? How are systolic and diastolic functions affected by changes in metabolite concentrations? Does metabolic energy supply represent a limiting factor in determining physiological maximal cardiac power output and exercise capacity? Does the derangement of cardiac energetics that occurs with heart failure cause exercise intolerance?\n\nTo answer these questions\, we have developed a multi-physics multi-scale model of cardiac energy metabolism and cardiac mechanics that simulates the dependence of myocardial ATP demand on muscle dynamics and the dependence of muscle dynamics on cardiac energetics. Model simulations predict that the maximal rate at which ATP can be synthesized at free energies necessary to drive physiological mechanical function determine maximal heart rate\, cardiac output\, and cardiac power output in exercise. Furthermore\, we find that reductions in cytoplasmic adenine nucleotide\, creatine\, and phosphate pools that occur with aging impair the myocardial capacity to synthesize ATP at physiological free energy levels\, and that the resulting changes to myocardial energetic status play a causal role in contributing to reductions in maximal cardiac power output with aging. Finally\, model predictions reveal that reductions in cytoplasmic metabolite pools contribute to energetic dysfunction in heart failure\, which in turn contributes to causing systolic dysfunction in heart failure.\n\nBlueJeans Livestream Link: https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/live-event/rbuvycdc\n\n3:45 p.m. - Light Refreshments served in Forum Hall Atrium\n4:00 p.m. - Lecture in Forum Hall UID:72535-18015945@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72535 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Cardiovascular,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Human Genetics,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Mathematics,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200120T131823 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200212T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200212T180000 SUMMARY:Ceremony / Service:Sarah Goddard Power Award and Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Ceremony DESCRIPTION:February 12\, 2020 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm\nKoessler Room\, Michigan League\n\nPlease join us for the annual Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards Ceremony.\n\nThe Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards are presented by the Academic Women’s Caucus\, which was founded in its current form in 1975. Its initial charge was ” …to develop an inclusive organization of all women faculty members of the Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, and Flint campuses of the University of Michigan which will serve as a forum for the exchange of information about the status of faculty women at the University and as a focus for action necessary to the investigation and resolution of their special concerns.” To this end\, the Caucus has met regularly during the academic year since 1976. It has responded to the concerns of its members by sponsoring informational and problem-solving sessions of various kinds and has provided support and a mechanism for exchange of ideas and action proposals.\n\n2020 SARAH GODDARD POWER AWARD\nSarah Goddard Power was widely acclaimed as a major contributor to the advancement of higher education\, an advocate for affirmative action and human rights\, and a champion of freedom for the international press. As a Regent of the University of Michigan for more than 12 years\, Sarah Goddard Power worked tirelessly to advance the position of women and minorities in faculty and administrative roles.\n\nRegent Sarah Goddard Power originally suggested that the Academic Women’s Caucus present awards to such individuals. In 1984\, an Awards Committee was established to select the first recipients of the Academic Women’s Caucus Awards. Thus\, it seemed appropriate that the Academic Women’s Caucus Award be renamed to honor Regent Power. In 1988\, Regent Philip H. Power graciously consented to allow the Caucus to rename its awards the Academic Women’s Caucus Sarah Goddard Power Award. In 1998\, President Lee Bollinger enabled the Award to be offered with an accompanying stipend. Each year\, nominations are selected for the Sarah Goddard Power Awards.\n\n2020 Sarah Goddard Power Award Recipients:\n\nCathleen Connell\, Professor\, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education\, is being honored for her significant achievement in addressing current challenges faced by women through distinguished leadership at the University of Michigan. Dr. Connell began her academic career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Behavior and Health Education in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan in 1989\, and rose through the ranks to become Professor in 2003. She has served in many leadership roles in her tenure at the University\, including associate and senior associate dean of academic affairs\, department and associate chair\, and directorships. “Cathleen brings true kindness\, empathy and graciousness to her leadership roles. With her attitudes and actions\, she has helped make the Department and School a place where female scholars feel comfortable and can thrive personally and professionally\,” said Mary Janevic\, Ph.D.\, MPH\, in a nominating letter. “Cathleen embodies the characteristics of an inspired leader. A patient listener\, she has an innate ability to motivate teams to institute changes\, meet goals\, and achieve success\,” Angela Beck\, Assistant Dean for Student Engagement and Practice\, School of Public Health\, wrote.\n\nAllison Steiner\, Professor\, Department of Climate and Space Science and Engineering\, has provided breakthrough contributions towards developing a diverse and inclusive workforce both at the University of Michigan and in her own scientific field at a national and international level. She receives the Sarah Goddard Power Award for her tireless advocacy towards the advancement of women in Earth Sciences worldwide\, and her leadership role in promoting equality for female faculty in the College of Engineering. Allison co-founded the Earth Science Women’s Network (ESWN)\, an international peer-mentoring network of women in the Earth Sciences\, whose mission is to promote career development\, build community\, provide opportunities for informal mentoring and support\, and facilitate professional collaborations. At the University and within the College of Engineering Steiner plays active leadership roles in a variety of programs and efforts to develop and implement strategies and plans to support diversity\, equity and inclusion. She chaired the Dean’s Advisory Committee on Female Faculty\, is a member of the CoE ADVANCE Advisory Committee and Co-Chaired last year’s NextProf Committee. “Looking through the list of the last few years Sarah Goddard Power Award winners is inspirational… Prof. Allison Steiner’s significant achievements in contributing to the betterment of current challenges faced by women through her leadership and community building roles clearly place her in the same company\,” wrote Mark Moldwin\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Professor of Space Sciences and Engineering\, in a nominating letter.\n\n2020 RHETAUGH G. DUMAS PROGRESS IN DIVERSIFYING AWARD\nThe Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award supports a long-standing vision of increasing the number of diverse women in the academy. Named after late Vice Provost Rhetaugh Dumas\, it recognizes outstanding institutional initiative in demonstrating notable progress by academic units in achieving ethnic\, racial and gender diversity among those pursuing and achieving tenure as professors\, clinical professors\, research professors\, and research scientists.\n\nRhetaugh Dumas was an esteemed leader with vision\, insight\, and wise counsel who had a major impact in the advancement of nursing\, healthcare\, and academic programs at U-M. Vice Provost Dumas was only the second African-American to hold the position of a Dean at the University of Michigan when she was appointed in 1981\, and the first African-American to be named a Dean. She was reappointed Dean of Nursing in 1986 and 1991 to second and third terms. Prior to that appointment\, she was the first woman and first nurse to serve as a deputy director of the National Institute of Mental Health. Dumas was Deputy Director\, Alcohol\, Drug Abuse\, and Mental Health Administration (1979-1981) and before that Chief\, Psychiatric Nursing Education Branch of the Division of Manpower and Training Programs (1972-1976). She was also a founding member\, a Charter Fellow\, and a former president of the American Academy of Nursing. Dumas served the University of Michigan for over 20 years with vision and a commitment to excellence.\n\n2020 Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Recipient:\nThe U-M Women’s Studies Department has been selected for the Rhetaugh Dumas Award for its continued commitment to hiring and promoting a diverse faculty. In the fall of 2019\, 50% of Women’s Studies faculty were black and/or people of color. Over the past five years\, leadership in Women’s Studies has embodied and practiced an “institutional commitment to change.” Two recent department chairs ­- Elizabeth Cole and Rosie Ceballo\, African American and Latinx\, respectively – during those five years have moved on to Assistant\, Associate\, and interim dean positions at the College of LSA. Beyond their own leadership positions\, they also made the effort to hire black women and/or women of color.

Audience Q & A follows the conversation\, as well as an opportunity to meet the artist and talk one-on-one.\n\nAbout the exhibition:\nHometown Hero (Chink): An American Interior\, by Valery Jung Estabrook\, re-creates a life-size living room sewn by hand\, suggestive of the artist’s history growing up in rural southwestern Virginia.The installation includes a custom upholstered recliner embellished with a Confederate Flag motif\, and a plush TV emanating country music karaoke sung by the artist.The exhibition challenges the notions of heritage\, Southern nationalism and “traditional” American culture\, providing a window into the tensions of being a perpetual foreigner in one’s own hometown.\n\nReflecting on her exhibition title\, Estabrook states\, “The second part of the title\, “Chink\,” is a word that is fundamentally linked to my lifelong experience as an Asian American. Yes\, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I\, unfortunately\, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”\n\nValery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation\, Florida\, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, Lagos\, Bilbao\, and Melbourne. In 2018 she received the Gold AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award\, an annual award recognizing artists of Korean heritage in the United States. She currently resides in Albuquerque and teaches experimental art at the University of New Mexico.

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.

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.

Yes\, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I\, unfortunately\, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”\n\nValery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation\, Florida\, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, Lagos\, Bilbao\, and Melbourne.

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

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

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

DESCRIPTION:Privacy is dead! Or is it? This talk will explore the darker side of social media\, smartphones\, smart speakers. How and why do these technologies track your behavior online and in your homes? What can they know about you? Why do people struggle to protect their privacy? The talk further discusses research advances that can lead to better privacy protections and user controls\, and what you can do now to take back your privacy.\n\nFlorian Schaub is Assistant Professor in the University of Michigan School of Information. His research combines privacy\, human-computer interaction\, emerging technologies\, and public policy. He studies people’s privacy decision making and behavior\, investigates technology-related privacy implications\, and develops user-centric privacy solutions that help people better manage their privacy in technology contexts. Dr. Schaub holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Ulm\, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University.\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series.

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:68063-16988495@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:20200213T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T170000 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.

At this time there is no plan of rescheduling\, but please stay tuned to our website and social media pages for the latest updates. We thank you for your patience and understanding.\n\nThe silent film benshi has attracted attention for being a unique aspect of Japanese film culture. With the release of Suo Masayuki’s new feature film\, Katsuben!\, interest in the benshi will no doubt increase. This lecture will examine the history of the benshi. Special attention will be paid to its role in the immigrant communities of America\, as a point of cultural exchange in the Japan-America film relationship a century ago.\n\nIchiro Kataoka graduated from the Nihon University College of Art and began training under Midori Sawato\, in 2002. He is the most well-known benshi of his generation\, a rising star that is also the most internationally active benshi\, having given performances in countries such as Croatia\, Germany and Australia. Performing a broad repertoire of styles\, Mr. Kataoka is known for not only performing with the more “traditional” benshi accompaniment of a small ensemble or select Japanese instruments\, but also has been open to working with experimental or electronic music. He has appeared as a benshi in various films and also works as a voice actor for animation and video games.\n\nYou may also wish to attend the 7:30pm screening of \"The Downfall of Osen (Orizuru Osen).\" This silent film will be accompanied by a live benshi narration.

The T cells must integrate signals from their environment in deciding what cells to kill or to spare. This diversity can make determining exactly what is recognized during an immune response extremely challenging. My lab combines protein engineering\, combinatorial biology\, structural biology and immunology to better understand and then manipulate immune recognition. We aim to find what is recognized during the course of successful immune responses\, what antigens should be targeted in treatments and how to better design cell-based immunotherapies.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nMichael Birnbaum is an assistant professor of biological engineering at MIT. He received his bachelor's degree in chemical and physical biology from Harvard University and his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2014. There\, he worked under K. Christopher Garcia and studied the molecular mechanisms of T cell receptor recognition\, cross-reactivity and activation. After postdoctoral work in Carla Shatz’s group at Stanford\, supported by a Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral Fellowship\, Professor Birnbaum joined MIT and the Koch Institute in 2016. During his tenure at the Koch Institute\, Birnbaum has received the AACR-TESARO Career Development Award for Immuno-oncology Research\, a Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering\, and a V Scholar Grant from the Jimmy V Foundation.

It is estimated that AVs will be available on the market in the next decade. As car-parks are closed environments\, they are among the first locations to expect influenced by AVs. AVs can be stacked in multiple rows like valet parking due to their self-parking capability. To release blocked vehicles\, car-park operators relocate certain vehicles in driverless mode to create a clear pathway for cars that need to leave the facility. The problem of finding the optimal car-park layout design is investigated that minimizes relocations to fit a given number of vehicles. Results show that AV parking facilities can decrease the need for parking space by an average of 62%. The operation of AV parking facilities is also investigated\, and policies for choosing a parking spot for each vehicle are proposed based on the arrival and departure time information. AVs will not only change the car-park facilities\, but also where travelers park. AV users can exit from their vehicles and send their vehicles to park in a strategic location. AVs can park farther from destination in cheaper parking lots or cruise for the whole activity time. Results show that while the same parking price across all the locations would exacerbate the congestion by motivating more AVs to cruise\, a toll for zero- occupant AVs would decrease the congestion.\n\nSina Bahrami is a Postdoctoral fellow at University of Michigan. He received a B.S. and an M.S. in Civil Engineering from Sharif University of Technology\, and a Ph.D. from University of Toronto. Sina’s research is focused on the parking policy in the era of Avs. UID:70244-17556160@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70244 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Civil and Environmental Engineering,Energy,Engineering,Graduate and Professional Students,Graduate Students,Michigan Engineering,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:GG Brown Laboratory - 2029 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191004T131137 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:ASC Event. 2019 UMAPS Colloquium Series DESCRIPTION:This series features the UMAPS fellows and their scholarly work.

Many control and computational problems of practical interest remain unsolved due to the issues of non-convexity and complexity. The first part of this talk focuses on how to recover convexity for distributed control problems. I will present a new distributed control framework centered on the notion of sparsity invariance\, which allows deriving convex approximation/reformulation of the largest known class of distributed control problems with sparsity constraints. I will show that the notion of sparsity invariance goes beyond the well-known notion of quadratic invariance. The second part of this talk focuses on the scalability of solving large-scale convex optimization problems. In particular\, I will consider the class of semidefinite optimization problems. By exploiting the properties of chordal graphs and sparse positive semidefinite matrices\, I will present a decomposition method that can scale sparse semidefinite optimization to large-scale instances\, achieving massive scalability. The resulting algorithms have been implemented in the open-source solver: CDCS (Cone Decomposition Conic Solver). Extensions to a class of polynomial optimization\, i.e.\, sparse sum-of-squares optimization\, will be briefly discussed.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nYang Zheng received the DPhil (Ph.D.) degree in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford\, UK\, in 2019. He received the B.E. and M.S. degrees from Tsinghua University\, China\, in 2013 and 2015\, respectively. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the SEAS and CGBC at Harvard University. His research interests lie in the interface of learning\, optimization\, and control of network systems\, and their applications to cyber-physical systems\, especially autonomous vehicles and traffic systems. His work was acknowledged by several awards\, including the Best Student Paper Award Finalist at the 2019 European Control Conference\, the Best Student Paper Award at the 17th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems\, and the Best Paper Award at the 14th Intelligent Transportation Systems Asia-Pacific Forum. He is the recipient of the National Scholarship\, Outstanding Graduate in Tsinghua University\, and the Clarendon Scholarship at the University of Oxford. In 2018\, he received the ABTA Doctoral Research Award in Engineering Science\, and in 2019\, he received the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad.

However\, achieving the full promise of CAR T-cell therapy\, especially in solid tumors\, will require further advances in this form of cellular therapy. A key challenge is maintaining a sufficient pool of functional CAR T cells in vivo. We recently developed a strategy to target vaccines to lymph nodes\, by linking peptide antigens to albumin-binding phospholipid-polymers. Constitutive trafficking of albumin from blood to lymph makes it ideal chaperone to concentrate these “amphiphile-vaccine” molecules in lymph nodes that would otherwise be rapidly dispersed in the bloodstream following parenteral injection. These lipid-polymer conjugates also exhibit the property that they insert in cell membranes on arrival in lymph nodes. Here\, we generated amphiphile CAR T ligand (amph-ligand) vaccine by exploiting these dual lymph node targeting and membrane-decorating properties to repeatedly expand and rejuvenate CAR T cells through the chimeric receptor in native lymph node microenvironment. We evaluated this approach in the presence of a complete host immune system. Amph-ligand vaccine boosting triggered massive CAR T expansion\, increased donor cell polyfunctionality\, and enhanced anti-tumor efficacy in multiple immunocompetent tumor models. We demonstrate two approaches to generalize this strategy to any CAR\, enabling this simple HLA-independent vaccination approach to enhance CAR T functionality to be applied to existing CAR T cell designs. Taken together\, our amph-ligand vaccine provides a simple engineering solution to augment CAR T-cell therapy.

It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.” (Interview\, New York Review of Books\, October 26\, 1978). Arendt’s well-known revisionist account of propaganda shifted the focus away from “indoctrination” and toward the role of cynicism and quiescence in sustaining authoritarianism. If uncertainty becomes a systemic feature of our media systems\, we are likely to lose trust—in each other\, in the institutions that inform and represent us\, and\, ultimately\, in the democratic process. In the long term\, the general expectation that little of what is available online can be trusted may contribute to an attitudinal spiral that “anything goes”—a new culture of indeterminacy that may further diminish individuals’ sense of accountability for the information they share. At the elite level\, such a culture may also enable deceitful politicians to claim that nothing can be proved in a public sphere characterized by chaos\, distrust\, and cynicism. New opportunities will emerge for politicians to campaign on promises to restore “order” and “certainty” through illiberal policies curtailing free speech and other civil rights. How should communication researchers respond to these challenges?\n\nAndrew Chadwick is Professor of Political Communication in the Department of Communication and Media at Loughborough University\, where he is also the founding Director of the Online Civic Culture Centre (O3C).

Clearly\, nutrient application produces a series of entangled and unintended consequences that suggests a fundamental imbalance in how we manage the planet. Interestingly\, awareness that things are not what they might seem with nutrients appeared 50 years ago in the pages of Science\, with Michael Rosenzweig’s seminal paper on the “Paradox of Enrichment “. Here\, pushed by recent empirical findings of ecosystem imbalance occurring on the landscape we revisit Rosenzweig’s paradox of enrichment results from a more wholistic food web perspective and a large spatial perspective (meta-ecosystems). While many have argued against any empirical evidence for Rosenzweig’s paradox of enrichment in nature\, when we broaden his work to include multiple types of instability in space we find that spatial food web theory suggests we expect to find ecosystem imbalances often at great distances from the local source of nutrient enrichment given natures vast transport systems (e.g.\, stream\, rivers\, oceanic currents\, wind\, mass migration events). The results also suggest an analog to network food web theory that stabilization of these large spatially distant ecosystem imbalances can occur by muting key spatial pathways of nutrient transport in meta-ecosystems.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/5JPKQndjmjY UID:69042-17220023@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69042 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200228T123033 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T173000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Global Health Strategies Information Session DESCRIPTION:Join the team at Global Health Strategies to learn more about the global health landscape and the impact that a career in communicationsand advocacy can have on health and well-being around the world.

At molecular and cellular length scales\, our research focuses on understanding how Gram-negative bacterial pathogens inject effector proteins into the cytosol of eukaryotic host cells using the Type 3 Secretion System (T3SS) – a 7 MDa multi-protein complex that spans two\, and sometimes three cellular membranes. Type 3 secretion is a major virulence mechanism used by prominent bacterial pathogens that results in more than 1 million human deaths each year. At cellular and super-cellular length scales\, our research focuses on visualizing the behaviors of individual bacteria inside tissue-like microbial communities\, called biofilms. As a major component of bacterial biomass on earth\, biofilms have substantial impacts on the biogeochemistry of our planet and on the biochemistry of higher living organisms.\nIn the first part of my talk\, I will describe how single-molecule localization and tracking microscopy in different genetic backgrounds provides a path towards investigating the molecular mechanism(s) of type 3 secretion in living cells. Through computational aberration correction and numerical modeling\, we determine the 3D subcellular localization and diffusive states of individual\, fluorescently labeled T3SS proteins. Our results to date indicate that T3SS proteins pre-assemble into freely diffusing cytosolic complexes prior to binding to the membrane-spanning multi-protein complex. Determining to what extent cytosolic proteins assemble with each other in living cells provides key insights into the dynamic regulatory network that controls type 3 secretion. \nIn the second part of my talk\, I will describe how lattice light-sheet microscopy enables non-invasive 3D imaging of microbial biofilms at single-cell resolution. Analyzing the resulting 3D images using a combination of computer vision and machine learning approaches enables multi-cell tracking of cell motions\, cell morphologies\, and cellular gene expression over time. Our goal now is to apply these new imaging and image analysis approaches to understand the emerging functional capabilities of bacterial biofilms in terms of the behavioral phenotypes of individual cells. Such knowledge can help inform new strategies for controlling biofilm growth and harness the metabolic potential of the microbial world in biotechnological applications. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAndreas Gahlmann (University of Virginia) UID:65267-16559497@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65267 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200121T144344 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CoderSpace with Yuki Shiraito and Jule Krüger DESCRIPTION:Do you write code for research or class?

The same territory is at once imagined and claimed by disparate yet overlapping groups in often mutually exclusive ways as Western Armenia\, Eastern Turkey\, and Northern Kurdistan. This geography has been home to many peoples over centuries\, including Armenians until the 1915 Catastrophe decimated the Ottoman Armenian community and scattered its survivors across the world\, where they founded new homes in the diaspora.\n\n As a result of the rupture of 1915\, the Armenian Diaspora came into intimate contact with other communities across the globe. At the same time\, on the ancestral lands of the exiled Western Armenians\, the material and immaterial remnants of their community live on\, animated by the memories and narratives recounted by the muslim Kurds\, Turks\, and Arabs who continue to live there. Taken together\, these constitute two asymmetrically mirroring spaces in which afterlives of Western Armenia continue to develop in dynamic relationships with contemporary political and social processes. What are the afterlives of these histories\, communities\, and trajectories bound up in the notion of Western Armenia? What are the ongoing effects of the 1915 Genocide of Ottoman Armenians\, both in the geography where the mass killing and expropriation took place a century ago and in the diasporic communities where Armenians continue to live today? How are histories of violence and exile inscribed both on the landscape through ruins and in the memories of local communities? And how are they reinterpreted and expressed through literature\, art\, and language?\n\nCosponsors: College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; Departments of Anthropology\, Comparative Literature\, and History\; Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\; Global Islamic Studies Center\; Global Theories of Critique\; and Institute for the Humanities. \n\nImage: “Cooling Towers\,” 2006\, oil on canvas\, 6’x6’ by Hrayr Anmahouni Eulmessekian.

Hernandez\, \"Liminal Practice(s)\" DESCRIPTION:Amanda Williams is a visual artist who trained as an architect. Her practice blurs the distinction between art and architecture through works that employ color as a way to draw attention to the political complexities of race\, place and value in cities. The landscapes in which she operates are the visual residue of the invisible policies and forces that have misshapen most inner cities. Williams’s installations\, paintings\, video\, and works on paper seek to inspire new ways of looking at the familiar\, and in the process\, raise questions about the state of urban space in America. Amanda has exhibited widely\, including the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale\, a solo exhibition at the MCA Chicago\, The Art Institute of Chicago and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis. She is a a 2018 United States Artists Fellow\, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors grantee\, an Efroymson Family Arts Fellow\, a Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow and a member of the multidisciplinary Museum Design team for the Obama Presidential Center. She is this year’s Bill and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Visiting Professor at the School of the Art Institute Chicago and has previously served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture at Cornell University and Washington University in St. Louis. She lives and works on Chicago’s south side.\n\nAndres L. Hernandez is a Chicago-based artist\, designer and educator who re-imagines the environments we inhabit\, and explores the potential of spaces for public dialogue and social action. Hernandez is a 2018 Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellow\, and his recent projects include a 2018-2019 visiting artist residency with the University of Arizona School of Art\, and Thrival Geographies (In My Mind I See A Line)\, a commissioned installation in collaboration with artists Amanda Williams and Shani Crowe for the U.S. Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale.

While the chemical and physical aspects of depression and other mental health disorders are far more complex than just feeling down\, current research supports a cognitive approach as a way to change patterns of brain functioning and build resilience in people struggling with chronic depression.\nThe program uses a combination of cognitive therapy and mindfulness to help participants form new\, healthier modes of thought. MBCT initiates a cognitive change that helps clients move past events that have the potential to trigger relapse. Participants learn how to view their thoughts without judgment.\nMBCT is about equipping participants with the ability to regulate one’s own thoughts and moods and to put new skills into practice in the way they are most useful to each client. MBCT helps flip the script in a way\, empowering participants\, helping them step into a well-fortified position and giving them the tools and the knowledge to help themselves at any stage of life.\nThe next session is scheduled to begin January 23\, 2020 and runs for eight weeks. Participants will meet weekly\, on Thursdays from 5-7:30 p.m. \nIf you are interested in attending or referring a potential group participant\, please contact the Psychological Clinic to begin the process. Call (734) 764-3471 and leave a message with the best time to reach you and we will be in touch within one to two business days to schedule a screening.

They live together in Meiji-era Tokyo\, and Osen’s love drives her to pay Sokichi’s way through medical school\, finally turning to secret streetwalking on his behalf. Told in an elaborate flashback structure\, The Downfall of Osen has been singled out as a transitional film that bridges director Kenji Mizoguchi’s early and middle periods\, as well as the silent and sound eras.\n\nCinematographer: Shigeto Miki. Miki was Mizoguchi’s cameraman for all of his 1930s films. Miki started his career in 1916\, when he shot his first film at the age of 14! After working for Mizoguchi for years\, he was Makino Masahiro’s cameraman for the 40s through 60s.\n\nThis silent movie will be accompanied by a live benshi. At the birth of cinema\, lecturers always accompanied silent films\, but as films became complex enough to tell stories the lecturers disappeared – except in Japan. Silent films in Japan (and its colonies) had both live music and a benshi\, who would stand to the left of the screen imitating voices and providing spectacular narration. The live benshi performer will be Kataoka Ichiro\, Japan’s premiere benshi. Ichiro was in Ann Arbor for a season of silent Ozu some years ago\, and tonight he will narrate Mizoguchi’s classic film.\n\nRead more about the film\, including ratings\, at the IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0026830/\n\nFull series details and film trailers here: https://www.michtheater.org/cinematography/ UID:71367-17819284@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71367 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Film,japaneses studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191220T105834 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200213T230000 SUMMARY:Performance:Brad Phillips & The Roots Music Strings DESCRIPTION:Brad Phillips is a multi-instrumentalist from southeast Michigan.

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.

Yes\, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I\, unfortunately\, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”\n\nValery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation\, Florida\, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally\, including New York\, Los Angeles\, Lagos\, Bilbao\, and Melbourne. In 2018 she received the Gold AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award\, an annual award recognizing artists of Korean heritage in the United States. She currently resides in Albuquerque and teaches experimental art at the University of New Mexico.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\n#skyshapes\n\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist\, artist\, historian\, librarian\, developer\, educator. He’s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences\, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems\, some of his own making and some from other people. He has a BFA from Washington University\, an MS from Oxford\, and a PhD from Columbia University in chemistry. Lancaster is based in Rutherford\, NJ where he freelances as a product developer and educational & business consultant. He is co-founder and chief technology officer of Fondo\, a startup focused on helping young people visualize their paths into the future of work via structured serendipity and exploration. \n\nLee Marchalonis is a Lecturer in Stamps School of Art & Design and lead printer at Signal Return letterpress shop in Detroit’s Eastern Market. She has a MFA in printmaking from the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville where she also worked as a letterpress printer at Yee-Haw Industries. She has printed professionally at Kala Institute in Berkeley\, California and studied book arts at the University of Iowa. She was a recipient of a year long Stein Scholarship at the Center for Book Arts in New York City in 2013\, and her work is in Special Collections libraries throughout the U.S.\n\nEllen Rutt is a Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist and activist who has a BFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design. She makes bold mixed-media paintings\, murals\, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment\, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo\, Hawaii.\n\nAbout the Curator:\n\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist\, educator\, curator\, and musician based in Southwest Detroit. Thompson grew up in Kansas City\, MO and received his BFA in Sculpture from the Kansas City Art Institute. Thompson moved from Cowtown to Motown to receive his MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He has been exhibiting his sculptures and installations throughout Southeast Michigan for over a decade and helps to curate and coordinate shows at a number of venues including as an exhibition committee member with Detroit Artists Market. He is a lecturer in the Stamps School of Art & Design and has taught at a number of other schools\, most notably for one year at Antioch College in Yellow Springs\, OH.

The same territory is at once imagined and claimed by disparate yet overlapping groups in often mutually exclusive ways as Western Armenia\, Eastern Turkey\, and Northern Kurdistan. This geography has been home to many peoples over centuries\, including Armenians until the 1915 Catastrophe decimated the Ottoman Armenian community and scattered its survivors across the world\, where they founded new homes in the diaspora.\n\nAs a result of the rupture of 1915\, the Armenian Diaspora came into intimate contact with other communities across the globe. At the same time\, on the ancestral lands of the exiled Western Armenians\, the material and immaterial remnants of their community live on\, animated by the memories and narratives recounted by the muslim Kurds\, Turks\, and Arabs who continue to live there. Taken together\, these constitute two asymmetrically mirroring spaces in which afterlives of Western Armenia continue to develop in dynamic relationships with contemporary political and social processes. What are the afterlives of these histories\, communities\, and trajectories bound up in the notion of Western Armenia? What are the ongoing effects of the 1915 Genocide of Ottoman Armenians\, both in the geography where the mass killing and expropriation took place a century ago and in the diasporic communities where Armenians continue to live today? How are histories of violence and exile inscribed both on the landscape through ruins and in the memories of local communities?

The first part of that talk will cover some well-known background on the statistical approach computer experiments. This will take place in the context of ongoing work for ChemCam\, an instrument on the Mars rover Curiosity whose goal is to determine whether Mars ever had conditions that could have supported microbial life. ChemCam uses laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy to analyze the chemical composition of Martian soil and rocks. Our goal is to use the resulting spectra and a LANL-developed predictive model to estimate the elemental abundances from surface samples. The second part of the talk will cover new work to address computer experiments from exascale supercomputers. The next generation of supercomputers are expected to have I/O limitations relative to their computing ability: they will simulate more than they can save. This requires changes to our usual post-hoc analysis scheme. To address this\, we are developing approaches to in situ statistical inference\, statistical modeling that gets done inside simulations as they are running. Our early work considers modeling extremes for climate and space weather.

The exhibit is a tribute to antiquarian bookseller and outstanding Americanist William S. Reese (1955-2018)\, drawing upon Reese's 2017 book \"The Best of the West\" for its descriptions of the titles on display. \n\nThe books and pamphlets in the exhibition range chronologically from Miguel Venegas' 1757 \"Noticia de la California\" to Thomas F. Dawson & F. J. V. Skiff's 1879 \"The Ute War.\" In between are dozens of the rarest examples of western Americana primary sources\, in Spanish\, French\, English\, and German. They include discovery and exploration narratives\, 19th-century overland narratives\, prints and views of Native Americans\, color-plate books\, gold and silver mining reports\, and other glimpses of the trans-Mississippi West.

But carbon pricing has struggled politically in the United States and abroad. It remains among the least likely climate policies to be adopted and among the most likely to be reversed if approved. \n\nThis lecture by Professor Barry Rabe will examine political challenges across each stage of the policy life-cycle\, considering not only the impediments to carbon pricing\, but also key design elements of the more successful and durable policies to date. \n\nProfessor Barry Rabe\, J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Professor of Public Policy at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan\, is a political scientist trained at the University of Chicago. He is a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and an elected fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration. He is also the author of five books\, including “Can We Price Carbon?” (MIT Press\, 2018) and is the recipient of four research awards from the American Political Science Association. \n\nThis is lecture #2 in five-part series \"Facing the Future: The Challenge of Climate Change\" which explores how climate change is impacting every corner of our earth\, and every aspect of our lives.

In particular\, it draws from her in-progress book At the Sea’s Edge that considers the oceanic not only as an archive of coloniality\, and a receptacle and spectacle of planetary ruins\, but as a dynamic life force and historical shaper in relation to the forces of racial and extractive capitalism. Thinking with submerged perspectives primarily in the trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic\, Gómez-Barris expands upon Kamau Brathwaite’s concept of tidealectics as key to understanding how to move within and beyond the colonial anthropocene.

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:68063-16988496@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:20200214T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200214T170000 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.

The gender pay gap is receiving increasing internal attention across organizations. However\, managers tasked with addressing this gap (or any demographic gap\, for that matter) have limited quantitative tools available to help them. Even if it were possible for them to analyze the gap\, they would still need to determine what salary adjustments to make and for which employees in order to create a more equitable pay structure. We address this deficit in tools and knowledge by developing a methodological solution that analyzes the company's pay gap and suggests salary adjustments in order to close it. To create this solution\, we introduce a fairness driven optimization formulation that can account for multiple operational constraints. As a side step we show the unintended consequences of applying a cost minimization to this challenge\, which can leave organizations in worse off. Finally\, we answer the question of how to determine whether the gap is closed\, applying equivalence testing in this new context. \n\nBio:\nDr. Bjarndóttir is an Assistant Professor of Management Science and Statistics at Robert H. Smith School of Business. Dr. Bjarnadóttir’s research focuses on data-driven decision-making\, combining traditional operations research approaches with data analytics and machine learning. In addition to the main focus of her work\, which is health care\, she has applied analytical models to contexts in finance and sports and\, most recently\, to people analytics\, where her work has been covered by outlets such as HBR\, Forbes\, BBC\, HR magazine and others. She teaches quantitative modeling and data analytics at the graduate level both in the traditional classroom format as well as online\, and has received multiple awards including the Krowe Teaching Award. Her work has been published in Operations Research\, POM and Org Science. Dr. Bjarnadóttir holds a B.Sc. degree in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from the University of Iceland (2001) and a Ph.D. in Operations Research from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2008).

Quite simply\, you don’t get to do business in China today without doing exactly what the Chinese government wants you to do. Period. No one is immune. No one. As someone who has lived and worked in China\, advised companies about investing there\, and quite happily been described as a China bull\, I have struggled to accept this fateful conclusion in the era of Xi Jinping. Like some other China Bulls\, I had believed the early promises of Deng Xiaoping\, Jiang Zemin\, and Zhu Rongji about China’s fair and open future\, open markets\, the emergence of a rule of law system. To be clear\, I am still very bullish on the strength and trajectory of the Chinese economy – China *will* continue to grow and it *will* surpass the US as the largest economy in the world. However\, the current era is just a much darker period for everyone\, including Multinational Corporations (MNCs). There is no free lunch for doing business in Xi's China – especially for technology companies. China *will* get its pound of flesh as the cost of operating there: you get to operate here and gain access to the the most innovative supply chain in the world and world's largest marketplace\; and China gets what it wants in terms of benefits to Chinese economy and society (as defined by the Chinese Government). Based on three decades of China research — including thousands of interviews — and\, most recently\, my time as an executive for Apple in China (2014-19)\, this talk attempts to lay out what my views on how China has co-opted the business community in the era of Xi Jinping.

Du Bois’s career in the 1940’s was his return to the NAACP and subsequent participation at the United Nations Conference on International Organization (UNCIO) from April to June of 1945 as a consultant to the United States delegation. This essay traces Du Bois’s transnational democratic thought during his work with the UN and the NAACP in the 1940s and beyond. Pushing against nation-centered framings of Du Bois’s democratic politics that place the problem of racial equality within the nation\, I explore how Du Bois used the language of “colonial status” and “colonial peoples” to connect domestic racial hierarchies in the United States to colonial hierarchies abroad. Focusing on unpublished speeches\, essays\, and correspondence\, I argue that Du Bois exploits the conceptual elasticity of terms like “colonialism” and “colony” in order to build a transnational majority on a global scale\, constituting what he would call in an unpublished 1935 essay\, “a pragmatic program for a dark minority.” The conceptual capaciousness of the term “colony” allows Du Bois to connect disparate forms of domination across boundaries of race\, nation\, and empire\, thus binding colonial and semi-colonial peoples together in a common program of international action. The fruition of these efforts\, I argue\, is Du Bois’s 1948 petition to the United Nations\, An Appeal to the World. Through distinct rhetorical strategies and the appropriation of international legal discourse\, Du Bois contests the bifurcation of domestic and international politics and expands the spatial scale of democracy by placing civil rights struggles in imperial context.\n\nAdam Dahl's research and teaching interests are in American political thought\, democratic theory\, the politics of race and indigeneity\, and political theories of empire and colonialism. His first book\, Empire of the People: Settler Colonialism and the Foundations of Modern Democratic Thought (University Press of Kansas\, 2018)\, examines the constitutive role of settler colonialism in shaping modern norms of democratic legitimacy. His current project\, tentatively titled Transnational Democracy in the Americas\, explores the interconnected dynamics of internationalism\, anti-imperialism\, and transnational citizenship in the American democratic tradition\, focusing on the political thought of Ottobah Cugoano\, Frederick Douglass\, Randolph Bourne\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, C.L.R. James\, and Herman Melville.\n\nThe Political Theory Workshop provides a venue for political theory-oriented scholarship broadly construed. Participants include theoretically-inclined members of social science and humanities departments across the University of Michigan\, as well as institutions throughout southwest Michigan.

We highlight the first such example and then turn to a subsequent systematic exploration of the landscape of F-theory three-family Standard Models with a gauge coupling unification. Employing algebraic geometry techniques\, all global consistency conditions of these models can be reduced to a single geometric criterion on the base of the underlying elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau four-folds. For toric bases\, this criterion only depends on an associated polytope and is satisfied for at least quadrillion bases\, each of which defines a distinct compactification. We conclude by pointing out important outstanding issues.

Modern analogues of terrestrial habitats from ~450 million years ago include cryptogamic ground covers (CGCs)\, which contain a mix of primitive biotas such as the non-vascular bryophyte plants (mosses\, liverworts\, hornworts)\, lichens\, fungi\, algae\, and bacteria. Some modern liverworts and hornworts form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi and cyanobacteria\, a mutualistic relationship regarded as a primitive method of nutrient acquirement from mineral substrates which was likely occurring deep in the geologic past to create some of the earliest ‘bio-soils’. In this talk I will present interdisciplinary efforts to better understand the chemical\, physical and mechanical processes of plant-symbiont-soil interactions and nutrient acquirement in modern analogues of early terrestrial biospheres. In particular\, I will focus on cutting edge multi-dimensional (2D – 3D) and multi-scale (cm – nm) correlative imaging methods with a view to applying this to methods of weathering\, nutrient extraction and biological interactions in the geologic past.

Further\, despite many different kinds of efforts\, linguists have not been as successful as we might hope in advocating for the centrality of language within the imperative toward inclusion and justice. Yet\, part of diversity is linguistic diversity\; part of equity is linguistic equity\; part of inclusion is linguistic inclusion\; and part of access is linguistic access. \n \nIn this talk\, I’ll explore some of the ways that linguists can have more success in our efforts to enhance linguistic justice through embracing and engaging with ongoing as well as emerging shifts in the discipline. By framing linguistic inclusion in the context of standardized language privilege\, I present what we know about linguistic discrimination\, pinpoint the linguistic stakes of efforts towards inclusion\, highlight some flashpoints that occur in public discussions about language such as with pronouns and political correctness\, and offer some concrete steps that we as linguists can take to effectively advocate for the importance of language at all levels of intervention linked to greater equity and justice.

Consent-based siting has emerged as a way to overcome some of these challenges. Yet consent itself is a complex concept. How do we define consent? Who has the right to consent? How does geographic context shape the way consent gets negotiated? These are questions I seek to explore in this discussion\, drawing from qualitative fieldwork conducted in two communities in Southern Ontario that volunteered to be part of Canada’s search for a willing host for a spent fuel repository. I intend to demonstrate how particular socio-political and economic nuclear landscapes shape how consent is understood\, the importance of recognizing and incorporating various voices in the process\, and why thresholds for consent might paradoxically need to be higher in existing nuclear communities. \n\n\nSpeaker: Marissa Bell\, Department of Geography at SUNY University at Buffalo \nMarissa Bell is a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography at SUNY University at Buffalo and a research fellow at the Institute for International Science and Technology Policy at George Washington University. Interested in energy justice\, environmental governance\, and political economy of risk\, her dissertation work examines how geographic context and socio-political dynamics shape the implementation\, community engagement\, and perceived legitimacy of consent-based policies for siting high level nuclear waste in Canada. She contends with the need for nuclear waste storage\, on the one hand\, with the need for more equitable\, fair and just methods of siting through community engagement\, geographic context\, and attention to process. Born in London\, UK\, but having grown up across European and American cultures\, she has always been interested in how space and place influence decision-making and identity formation. Prior to embarking on a PhD\, Marissa completed a BA at King’s College London\, with a focus on European geopolitical identity\, followed by an MA at the University at Buffalo\, focusing on the risk tradeoff between climate change and nuclear risks post-Fukushima. In other research\, Marissa has examined localized opposition to wind turbine installation in upstate New York\, reflecting her broader underlying interest in energy justice and sustainable energy transitions.

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.

She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity\, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to.

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.

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.

Initially sent to study at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (or VGIK) in 1952\, the eight were critical of the Kim Il-sung regime and its consolidation of power following the 1956 August Faction Incident. Calling themselves the 8-Jin (paljin) or “Genuine 8\,” the eight christened themselves both as individuals (with new surnames) and as a group with the Chinese character for truth\, 眞. Truth\, and especially filmic truth\, is just one of “Goodbye My Love’s” many concerns\, as it deploys historical found footage of the Soviet Union and North Korea\, film clips\, dramatic reenactments\, readings of poetry and prose\, as well as folk songs in relaying the account of the 8-Jin. But the bulk of the work falls on the shoulders of the two surviving members\, cinematographer Kim Jong-hun (Kim Jin) and director Choi Kuk-in (Choi Jin)\, who are joined by Zinida Ivanova\, widow to writer Han Dae-yong (Han Jin). Interviews with the three present an overview of the group’s experience from the Korean War to their initial study abroad\, their public criticism of Kim Il-sung\, to exile and beyond.” –SE-YOUNG KIM\, The University of British Columbia Film Reviews\, Northeast Asia\n\nCheck out the full review from UBC here: https://pacificaffairs.ubc.ca/film-reviews/goodbye-my-love-north-korea-gutbai-mai-leobeu-nk-directed-by-soyoung-kim-and-produced-by-jinseok-kang/\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.
