Representing concepts of time\, memory\, openness and constraint\, the pieces are created with traditional methods\, using scissors and simple die-cutting tools\; cross-disciplinary techniques\, such as weaving and tatting used in fiber arts\; and technologies like laser cutting machines. There are two series of paper nests: one created entirely without the use of adhesive\, and the other involves tatting with knots. Viewers are encouraged to contemplate\, find meaning and ultimately – hope.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

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.

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

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-16390971@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200130T092006 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200216T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200216T133000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:Star talks will examine the night sky with its slowly changing constellations\, bright planets\, and a short journey to visit far-away objects.\n\nThe new Planetarium & Dome Theater has comfortable seating for 57 visitors and space for up to 9 wheelchairs\, easy-access seats\, and a limited number of hearing assistance devices.

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

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

These problems carry extremely high social\,psychological\, and economic costs for individuals\, families\, communities andsociety at large. Although substance use is common among adolescents and youngadults\, there are substantial individual differences in susceptibility to substanceuse problems. Why do some adolescents show persistent substance use problemsacross the transition to early adulthood\, whereas others show decliningpatterns of use? Currently\, there are significant gaps in our understanding ofhow adverse experiences in early childhood may become translated into latersubstance use problems\, an issue that has strong relevance for prevention.Using new data from our 17-year prospectivelongitudinal study\, we tested the hypothesis that individual differences in theseverity of ATOD among emerging adults may reflect complex transactions betweenchildren’s adverse social experiences and regulatory vulnerabilities that beginin the early preschool years.

According to Transparency International\, Armenian Corruption Perception Index has increased by 7 points and the rank has improved by 28 positions in 2019 compared to 2018. What were the social and economic factors keeping the high level of corruption in the country? Recent empirical studies have predominantly looked at antecedents of corruption from a macro level. Based on the analysis of three datasets comprising of individual-level surveys taken over a three-year period in Armenia\, the study argues that social norms\, personal wealth\, and the high reliability of corrupt transactions impact an individual’s decision to be involved in corruption. \n\nLunch will be served. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nAram Simonyan is Associate Professor of Economics at the International Scientific Educational Centre of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia\, where he has been working in the capacity of Associate Chair of Economics and Management Department. His main research focuses on anti-corruption strategies in European countries from a socio-economic perspective. Advanced in eight languages\, he held visiting positions at multiple European Universities. Now he is getting his second PhD in Sociology at the University of Kiel.\nDr. Simonyan was a Weiser Professional Fellow at the Gerald Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan in 2018\, and is a visiting Fulbright Scholar at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan in 2019-2020.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nInfants and toddlers learn language through dynamic\, reciprocal interactions with their caregivers. Often\, language development is studied using tasks that seem far from the engaging\, natural context of the child’s everyday world. This is typically even more true of studies that examine the brain\, because our brain imaging technologies like MRI and EEG typically require one person to engage in a repetitive task in front of a screen\, with restricted motion. In this talk\, I describe our work that aims assess language and brain measures in children with or at-risk for language disorders using innovative naturalistic\, dyadic behavior and brain measures. One line of research uses a multi-dimensional approach to assess risk for later language disorder in late-talking children\, including assessing irritability (a key indicator of later mental health risk)\, parent-child interaction\, and the child’s brain and parent-child brain synchrony in the lab. Our EEG measures of the brain are collected from both toddlers and their mothers while they interact naturally\, during activities such as watching a movie or completing a puzzle together. We use a micro-coding approach to identify different behavioral states and compare features of the child’s brain (such as EEG power in bands of interest) and similarity or synchrony between the child and parent’s brain (inter-brain power correlation and phase locking) across these states. We also assess children longitudinally via videochat\, recording the parent and child at home\, to enable additional timepoints of data while minimizing participant burden. A second project compares these brain measures in toddlers with autism and parents with the broader autism phenotype (sub-clinical autism-like symptoms). Together\, these studies highlight the challenges and promises of using dyadic methods to give a more complete picture of a child’s language development.\n\n\nBio: \nElizabeth Norton is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Northwestern University\, where she directs the Language\, Education and Reading Neuroscience (or “LEARN”) Lab. Her research combines behavioral and brain measures and seeks to understand typical development as well as reading\, language\, and neurodevelopmental disorders. She currently leads two NIH-funded research projects investigating early brain and behavior atypicalities and markers of prognosis in children with language delay or autism spectrum disorder. As a former high school teacher for students with dyslexia\, she is particularly interested in understanding individual differences and working toward early identification and intervention for language and reading disabilities. Norton obtained her B.A. in Language and Brain Development at Dartmouth College\, her Ph.D. at Tufts University in Child Study and Human Development\, and postdoctoral training in the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT.\n\nVisit sponsors: Department of Psychology Developmental Area\, Combined Program in Education & Psychology\, Language & Literacy Laboratory (Director: Ioulia Kovelman\, Psychology) UID:69690-17382658@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69690 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:brown bag LOCATION:East Hall - 4464 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200127T181713 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Diversity at Work: Google Shares Inclusive Practices DESCRIPTION:Diversity at Work is an ongoing series of workshops hosted by Rackham’s Professional Development DEI Certificate Program where participants can hear from real employees and employers about how they are incorporating diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and social justice efforts in their organizations.\nDiversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (DEI) aptitude continues to be a highly sought out asset among employers\, both within and outside of academe.

DESCRIPTION: \nAs a result of controls on NOx emissions from cars\, trucks\, and electricity production\, NOx levels (sum on NO and NO2) have decreased rapidly across North America over the past decades. The reductions in NO alter the photochemical pathways in the oxidation of numerous chemicals emitted from the biosphere and from anthropogenic activities. The gas phase chemistry in the low NO regime has received significantly less attention from atmospheric chemists. Here\, I describe new analytical methods to probe the low NOx chemistry in the field and in the laboratory. New chemical pathways are identified illustrating that great care must be taken in extrapolating of existing photochemical models to the low NOx atmosphere. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nPaul Wennberg (California Institute of Technology) UID:64491-16374909@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64491 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200318T092027 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:CANCELED - Pre-Law 101 Information Session DESCRIPTION:***CANCELED***\n\nStudents beginning to explore the possibility of attending law school and those committed to applying in the future are encouraged to attend.\n\nJanuary 29th\, 4PM - 5PM - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room)\n\nFebruary 17th\, 4PM - 5PM - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room) - Transfer Student session\, but all are welcome to attend\n\nMarch 20th\, 12PM - 1PM - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room) UID:71229-17791931@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71229 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Pre-Law LOCATION:Angell Hall - G243 Angell Hall (Newnan Advising Conference Room) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200207T130421 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Framingham Heart Study: Fundamental Concepts of Cardiovascular Disease Risk DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary Speaker Series - Developmental Origins of Health & Disease: Evolutionary & Epidemiological Approaches - Presented by the Evolution and Human Adaptation Program & The Research Center for Group Dynamics UID:72466-18009371@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72466 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Talk LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200217T181652 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Better Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay through Biochemistry DESCRIPTION:The goal of future neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is to establish whether neutrino is its own antiparticle\, by searching for an ultra-rare decay process with a half life that may be more than 10^27 years. Such a discovery would have major implications for cosmology and particle physics\, but requires ton-scale detectors with backgrounds below 1 count per ton per year. This is a formidable technological challenge that has prompted consideration of unconventional solutions. I will discuss an approach being developed within the NEXT collaboration: high pressure xenon gas time projection chambers augmented with single molecule fluorescent imaging-based barium tagging. This combines techniques from the fields of biochemistry\, super-resolution microscopy\, organic synthesis and nuclear physics\, possibly enabling the first effectively background-free\, ton-scale neutrinoless double beta decay technology.\n\n UID:72039-17916368@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72039 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200123T165115 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200217T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Hub Studio: Internship Search DESCRIPTION:This studio is self-directed\, open work time to work towards launching or improving your internship search process.

ToxiCity: Practices of Living Anthropogenic Seas DESCRIPTION:How might we think about and address the kinds of life that emerge in the wastescapes of cities? In this talk I attend to the social and natural life of Mumbai’s anthropogenic sea. Today\, Mumbai’s sea is an uneasy gathering of urban\, climactic and agrarian processes. As sewage\, fish\, birds\, coral\, and algae interact in dynamic relations\, how are fishers\, amateur naturalists and scientists negotiating the ambivalent ecologies of the Anthroposea. By attending to their practices\, this talk explores emergent ways of thinking\, knowing and acting in muddy waters.\n\nBio: Nikhil Anand is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the political ecology of cities\, read through the different lives of water. His award winning book\, Hydraulic City\, focuses on the everyday ways in which cities and citizens are made through the everyday management of water infrastructure in Mumbai. With Hannah Appel and Akhil Gupta\, Dr. Anand is also co-editor of The Promise of Infrastructure\, which focuses on how infrastructure provides a generative ground to theorize time and politics. Dr. Anand's new research project\, The Urban Sea\, attends to the ways coastal cities are actively constituted through social and natural relationships with the sea.

Her 2016 book\, Bassoon Reed Making (Indiana University Press) details current and historic trends in this field. Schillinger’s groundbreaking research extends to guest lectures and residencies throughout the United States and Europe.\n\nSchillinger is an advocate for diversity in performance and programming. She is a founding member of Limitless Collective\, an all-female ensemble featuring works by women\, PoC\, and the LGBTQ community. She is also the creator and organizer of the fEmpower social media network for bassoonists identifying as female. \n\nSchillinger publishes numerous articles and appears regularly as a performer and lecturer. In addition\, Schillinger co-hosted the 2012 International Double Reed Society Annual Conference and inaugural IDRS Teen Camp. \n\nSchillinger is on faculty at Ithaca College in New York where she performs frequently with New Music and traditional orchestral ensembles. Previously\, she has held positions with Miami University\, the University of Nevada\, and various orchestras throughout the west. \n\nChristin Schillinger holds degrees from Northwestern University (BM)\, Michigan State University (MM)\, and Arizona State University (DMA).

It delves deep into the most contentious debates and uncovers the hidden intentions of the supporters and detractors of comfort women. Most importantly it finds answers to some of the biggest questions for Japanese and Koreans: Were comfort women prostitutes or sex slaves? Were they coercively recruited? And\, does Japan have a legal responsibility to apologize to the former comfort women?\n \n The “comfort women” issue is perhaps Japan’s most contentious present-day diplomatic quandary. Inside Japan\, the issue is dividing the country across clear ideological lines. Supporters and detractors of “comfort women” are caught in a relentless battle over empirical evidence\, the validity of oral testimony\, the number of victims\, the meaning of sexual slavery\, and the definition of coercive recruitment. Credibility\, legitimacy and influence serve as the rallying cry for all those involved in the battle. In addition\, this largely domestic battleground has been shifted to the international arena\, commanding the participation of various state and non-state actors and institutions from all over the world.\n\nAbout the Director: Miki Dezaki is a Japanese-American director and graduate of the Graduate Program in Global Studies at Sophia University in Tokyo. He worked for the Japan Exchange Teaching Program for five years in Yamanashi and Okinawa before becoming a Buddhist monk in Thailand for one year. He is also known as “Medamasensei” on Youtube\, where he has made comedy videos and videos on social issues in Japan. His most notable video is “Racism in Japan\,” which led to numerous online attacks by Japanese neo-nationalists who attempted to deny the existence of racism and discrimination against Zainichi Koreans (Koreans with permanent residency in Japan) and Burakumin (historical outcasts still discriminated today). Shusenjo is his directorial debut.\n\nPresented in Japanese\, Korean and English with English subtitles.\n\nJoin us for a post-film discussion with the film’s director\, Miki Dezaki.\n \n“A Filmmaker Explored Japan’s Wartime Enslavement of Women.

In this exhibition\, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement. \n\nSince June\, protests have been ongoing in Hong King\, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations\, over two million Hongkongers\, which is more than a quarter of the population\, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill\, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement. \n\nAfter 2/12\, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

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.

This drive was established to help find a match for Natalia\, an 8-year-old girl who may need a bone marrow donor soon.\n\nNatalia was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in August 2019. She has been hospitalized for most of the last few months at University of Michigan’s Mott Children’s Hospital\, where she is undergoing chemotherapy. She has about 4 more months to go. Natalia has a very positive attitude. She loves to read (especially Percy Jackson and Warriors books) and do craft projects. Her nurses and doctors love her!\n\nHopefully chemo will be enough to cure Natalia’s condition. If it isn’t\, she will need a bone marrow transplant. As of now\, there are NO full matches in the bone marrow registries worldwide. Her 13-year-old brother and her twin sister are not matches.\n\nNatalia’s mixed-race background – Cantonese\, Latina (Salvadoran)\, and white (Dutch/German) – makes it especially hard to find a match.

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 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.

It is of great interest to understand how that aggregate expenditure affects prices\, market efficiency\, and overall welfare.\n\nHere\, we present a mathematical model for the dynamics of competition through advertising and find a surprising prediction: when advertising is relatively cheap compared to the maximum benefit of advertising\, rational firms split into two groups\, one with significantly less advertising (a \"generic'' group) and one with significantly more advertising (a \"name-brand'' group).\n\nWe use consumer data to compare predictions from the model with real world pricing and advertising data and find qualitative agreement. We also show that having products be differentiated by advertising is not always best for total profit or total welfare in an industry.

At the Plasma Dynamics Computational Laboratory at Virginia Tech\, we study fundamental processes such as plasma sheath physics and plasma-material interactions to support and overcome some of the physics challenges of advanced space propulsion concepts. Furthermore\, nuclear fusion\, which remains one of the biggest unsolved problems of the previous and present centuries\, may hold the key to long-duration\, high-payload spaceflight in addition to potentially satisfying terrestrial energy demands. Research at the laboratory also supports a wide array of fusion concepts including magnetic confinement fusion\, magneto-inertial fusion\, and inertial confinement fusion. The high-energy-density hydrodynamics research being performed to study these concepts extends to astrophysics and national security applications. A common challenge across these varied applications is the necessity for high-fidelity computational models for kinetic and fluid plasmas. Recent advances in plasma modeling\, from magnetohydrodynamic to fully kinetic\, will be presented. This research seminar will describe novel kinetic and multi-fluid models and will discuss original research contributions in two representative applications: plasma-material interactions relevant to plasma thrusters and high-energy-density hydrodynamics.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Bhuvana Srinivasan is an Assistant Professor in the Kevin T. Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean engineering at Virginia Tech where she has been developing a computational plasma physics program. Prior to joining Virginia Tech\, she was a postdoc and a scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. She received her PhD from the University of Washington. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in spacecraft propulsion\, advanced spacecraft propulsion\, computational plasma physics\, and hypersonic aerodynamics. She is the Director of the Plasma Dynamics Computational Laboratory which comprises two postdocs\, eight PhD students\, and a number of masters and undergraduate students. The research areas in her group include plasma-material interactions in thrusters and magnetic fusion devices\, instabilities in high-energy-density fusion and astrophysical plasmas\, ionospheric plasma instabilities\, and numerical algorithm development for fluid and kinetic models.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nHierarchy is the most ubiquitous way in which human beings organize social interactions. However\, hierarchy comes with substantial downsides in terms of inequities and conflicts. As a result\, organizations have explored flatter modes of organizing\, such as holacracy\, which unfortunately have yet to yield much success. In this presentation\, Greer will explore the possibility that hierarchy may still be the most effective form of organization but needs to be used wisely. She will discuss data-driven strategies which can allow hierarchy to be a useful and positive organizational tool\, including helping leaders learn how to ‘flex’ the hierarchy for bursts of flatness\, to humanize the hierarchy through sharing emotions at work\, and to reduce competitions around hierarchy by creating areas of individual ownership and autonomy.\n\nAbout Greer:\nLindy Greer is an Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at Michigan Ross and the Faculty Director of the Sanger Leadership Center. Her research focuses on how to lead effective organizational teams with specific interests in leadership skills in conflict management\, diversity and inclusion\, vision crafting\, and the communication of emotions. \n\nLindy has published in top management and psychology research outlets such as Academy of Management Journal\, Organization Science\, Journal of Applied Psychology\, Science\, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\, among others. Her work has also been covered in well-known media outlets including The New York Times\, CNN\, Forbes\, and Fast Company. She has received awards for her research from the Academy of Management and American Psychological Association\, and she was recently named one of the Top 40 under 40 Business School Professors by Poets and Quants. \n\nLindy is currently an Associate Editor at the Academy of Management Journal\, on the boards of seven of the top management and psychology journals\, and has served on the boards of professional associations such as the International Association of Conflict Management and the Conflict Management Division of the Academy of Management. Lindy received her BS from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and her PhD in social and organizational psychology from Leiden University in the Netherlands.

Since the intensity and likelihood of these events are not well defined\, performance based design approaches include the management of inelastic response and local failure. Design techniques that were developed for the ‘cold war’ are now adapted for Government and commercial construction. Applying these techniques to ‘design excellence’ architecture is a major challenge and the least impactful protective measures that achieve the required performance contribute to a project’s success. In many projects\, the protective design engineer helps identify the risks associated with different design options and helps the owners to decide whether to mitigate or accept these risks.\n\nRobert Smilowitz is a Senior Principal at Thornton Tomasetti UID:72187-17955061@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72187 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:20200317T153234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T193000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:POSTPONED INDEFINITELY: Faculty Research for Impact: Addressing UN SDG #13 – Climate Action DESCRIPTION:How are Ross faculty members advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals through business research?

Two of these therapies based on chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) technology have received FDA approval and helped extremely ill patients where other therapies have failed - up to 90% of advanced relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients in clinical studies saw complete remission of their disease. But a truly novel modality like this - where a patient’s own immune cells are extracted\, engineered\, and reintroduced to attack their cancer - comes with unprecedented scientific\, technical\, and operational challenges. Here at BCG\, we have partnered with leading biopharmaceutical companies to explore novel strategies to discover\, develop\, and deliver cell therapies to patients with true unmet need. Garner Soltes\, Project Leader from our BCG NewJersey office\, will lead this virtual session and walk through his specific experience on a BCG client case\, where he\, alongside a team of BCG consultants\, developed a 10-year strategy and plan to help this client explore and succeed in the emerging cell therapy space.\n\nLearn more about BCG PhD/postdoc recruiting (aka ADC) on our website here: https://www.bcg.com/en-us/careers/students/advanced-degrees.aspx UID:72668-18037796@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72668 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200212T125355 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T203000 SUMMARY:Presentation:The Polar Vortex\, Climate Change and Weird Weather DESCRIPTION:A presentation by U-M emeritus professor Dr. Henry Pollack on what the polar vortex is\, how it affects us in the Midwest\, and how climate change plays into it. \n\nPresented by Sierra Club Huron Valley Group UID:72799-18079302@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72799 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:climate change,sierra club huron valley chapter LOCATION:Matthaei Botanical Gardens CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200214T103033 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200218T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Chamber Choir DESCRIPTION:Eugene Rogers\, conductor\nMatthew Ozawa\, director\nShohei Kobayashi\, graduate student conductor\n\nThe music of David Lang featuring his Pulitzer Prize-winning work The Little Match Girl Passion.

In this exhibition\, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement. \n\nSince June\, protests have been ongoing in Hong King\, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations\, over two million Hongkongers\, which is more than a quarter of the population\, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill\, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement. \n\nAfter 2/12\, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

Her sculptural works are infused with symbolism and metaphors in the forms of cages\, nests and butterflies. All works are made entirely of varying weights and types of paper\, including hanji (Korean traditional) and common coffee filters. Representing concepts of time\, memory\, openness and constraint\, the pieces are created with traditional methods\, using scissors and simple die-cutting tools\; cross-disciplinary techniques\, such as weaving and tatting used in fiber arts\; and technologies like laser cutting machines.

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

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

The problem is formulated as a high-dimensional discrete simulation-based optimization (DSO) problem. We propose a method that combines disaggregate car-sharing reservation data\, analytical mathematical programming (MP) models\, and simulation-based optimization algorithms. We present various ways in which the MP formulations can be used to enhance both the computational efficiency of DSO algorithms\, as well as their ability to tackle high-dimensional problems.

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

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n  UID:63842-16390973@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - ArtGym CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200214T103104 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200219T113000 SUMMARY:Performance:Guest Lecture: Helen Phelan\, University of Limerick\, Ireland DESCRIPTION:The symbiotic relationship between cerebral and corporeal intelligence systems - between the brain and the body - is central to how we understand and perform. The growing recognition of this connection has had a profound influence on the development of curriculum\, teacher training and research.  The integration of artistic practices into the research process is a key aspect of this development. This presentation looks at two approaches to the use of artistic contemporary research: arts-based and arts practice methods. \n \nArts-based research draws on a variety of practices including poetry\, drawing song-writing\, improvisation\, composition and performance across all phases of research including data collection\, analysis\, interpretation and representation (Leavy\, 2015). In Arts Practice research\, artistic practice is a key method of exploration and forms a substantial part of the submitted evidence around the research inquiry (Nelson\, 2013).\n \nThis presentation discusses strategies for the inclusion of arts-based or arts practice approaches in contemporary research\, looking at questions of expertise\, ethics\, representation\, dissemination and appropriateness to the research question. It concludes with a case study of arts-based research that uses singing as a tool of social and cultural integration in an Irish primary school.\n\n…….\n\nHelen Phelan is professor of arts practice at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance\, University of Limerick\, Ireland. She is an Irish Research Council recipient for her work on singing and new migrant communities in Ireland. Her most recent book\, Singing the Rite to Belong: Music\, Ritual and the New Irish\, was published by Oxford University Press in 2017. As a singer and ritual scholar\, she specializes in chant associated with religious rituals and is co-founder of the female vocal group Cantoral\, who released their much-acclaimed CD recording of Irish medieval chant in 2014. She serves on the editorial boards of a number of journals including Frontiers in Psychology\, The International Journal of Community Music and Experiments and Intensities: A Journal for Performance-as-Research. She is founder of the Singing and Social Inclusion research group and a member of the University of Limerick Sanctuary board. Her primary research interests are in singing\, ritual and migration as well as arts-based and arts practice research methods. Her most recent project\, funded by the Health Research Board\, explores the use of arts-based methods in migrant health research.

In the first part\, I will discuss a 2-dimensional SYK-like model whose moduli space consists of both a chaotic regime and corners with emergent higher-spin symmetry. This model provides a manifest realization of the widely believed connection between SYK-like models and higher-spin theories. In the second part\, I will discuss a general class of coupled quantum systems that share a somewhat surprising property: their ground states approximate the thermofield double state to very good accuracy. This provides a practical way to prepare the thermofield double state.

Men\, Whites\, and the right-handed were hypocognitive\, or less schematic\, of everyday burdens (e.g.\, safety precautions\, daily hassles) experienced by women\, non-Whites\, and the left-handed. This hypocognition\, in turn\, underlay disagreements about social privilege and perceived discrimination across social groups. \n\n\nIzzy Gainsburg\n\nTitle: Is Compassion Limited or Unlimited? Lay beliefs about compassion and their influence on emotional experience\, moral concern\, and helping behavior\n\nAbstract: When people witness tragedy or suffering\, they often feel compassion--feelings of concern for victims and a desire to help them. However\, research also shows that people often feel less compassion as the number of people suffering increases (i.e.\, compassion fade)\, and that people's compassion response weakens with repeated exposure to suffering (i.e.\, compassion fatigue). It is possible\, however\, that compassion fade and fatigue are influenced a belief that compassion is a limited resource. In other words\, it is possible that lay beliefs about compassion as limited and fatiguing result in a self-fulfilling prophecy that reinforces compassion fade and fatigue. If so\, then changing people's beliefs that compassion is unlimited and energizing may short-circuit this process and allow people to continue to feel compassion in response to large amounts of suffering. In today's presentation\, I review a new investigation into whether beliefs about compassion as limited (vs. unlimited) affect people's experience of compassion fatigue\, their moral concern for distant entities\, and their helping behavior.

DESCRIPTION:Join the Nineteenth Century Forum (NCF) for a paper workshop with Laura Korobkin\, Associate Professor of English at Boston University.\n\nThis essay argues that the relationship between Bartleby and the lawyer-narrator in “Bartleby\, the Scrivener” is Melville’s adaptive rewriting of the chiasmic trajectory of the Tom-Legree relationship in Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin. In both\, a new\, disempowered worker in a dehumanizing workplace quietly and respectfully refuses a series of commands\, stunning and enraging the master\, who interprets the refusals as a willful challenge to his personal mastery. In both texts\, though urging no cause and calling none to disobey\, the resistor becomes paradoxically empowered\, the master disempowered\; though the worker could end the conflict at any time by changing his behavior\, he chooses not to\, ultimately enabling his death in captivity. Challenging the established assumption that he responded to Stowe only with mocking disdain\, the essay argues that Melville creatively engaged the novel’s unsentimental Legree section\, giving his lawyer-narrator both Legree’s obsession with his own mastery and Shelby and St. Clare’s self-consoling view of their own benevolence. The essay questions Stowe’s absence from “Bartleby” criticism and argues that Melville extends Stowe’s suggestion of economic continuities between plantation and factory by triangulating the national system to include the white collar office. \n\nPlease email Sarah Van Cleve (srvc@umich.edu) to RSVP and receive a copy of the pre-circulated paper.

Since the 1990s\, it’s been documented that a category of chemicals known as perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) are harmful to life\, yet the government continues to mandate its use at hundreds of sites across the country\, contaminating surface water and drinking water\, with no plan in place to clean it up.

The PFAS contamination in Oscoda was discovered nearly 10 years ago\, making it the first PFAS site in Michigan and the first PFAS military site in the world. The film's director\, Sara Ganim\, is a former CNN correspondent who won the Pulitzer Prize for breaking the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal at Penn State\; she also has done extensive reporting on water issues in other communities in the U.S\, including Flint. \n\nDocumentary. 270 min.

In this exhibition\, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement. \n\nSince June\, protests have been ongoing in Hong King\, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations\, over two million Hongkongers\, which is more than a quarter of the population\, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill\, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement. \n\nAfter 2/12\, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

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

Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space.

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.

Zimmerman DESCRIPTION:Department of Biomedical Engineering Final Oral Examination\n \nLauren L. Zimmerman\n \nInvestigating Neuromodulation as a Treatment for Female Sexual Dysfunction\n \nFemale sexual dysfunction (FSD) affects millions of women worldwide. FSD has a significant impact on quality of life and interpersonal relationships. The prevalence of at least one form of sexual dysfunction is 40-45% of adult women with 12% of women experiencing sexually related personal distress\, yet there is no clear treatment option for a wide range of FSD deficits with high efficacy and low side effects.\n \nNeuromodulation techniques using electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves have the potential to treat some forms of FSD. In clinical trials of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) and percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for bladder dysfunction\, women have reported that their sexual dysfunction symptoms improved as well. Even though this effect has been observed clinically\, very little research has been done to examine the mechanisms or the optimal method of treatment specifically for women with FSD. This thesis aims to bridge that gap by investigating neuromodulation as a treatment for FSD through both preclinical and clinical studies.\n \nThe first aim of this thesis is to investigate a possible mechanism of the improvement to sexual functioning in response to tibial nerve stimulation by evaluating vaginal blood flow responses in rats. In 16 ketamine-anesthetized female rats\, the tibial nerve was stimulated for 30 minutes while vaginal blood perfusion was recorded with laser Doppler flowmetry. A novel signal analysis and quantification metric was developed for this analysis. I found that tibial nerve stimulation could drive prolonged increases in vaginal blood perfusion\, typically after 20-30 minutes of stimulation. This result suggests that clinical neuromodulation may be improving FSD symptoms by increasing genital blood flow.\n \nOne question yet to be investigated by neuromodulation studies is whether tibial nerve stimulation could be an on-demand treatment for FSD\, such as Viagra is for men\, or is more appropriate as a long-term treatment with improvements over time\, such as PTNS for bladder dysfunction. In this thesis I address this question by evaluating the sexual motivation and receptivity of female rats both immediately after a single stimulation session as well as after long-term\, repeated stimulation sessions. I found that tibial nerve stimulation led to modest increases in sexual motivation in the short term\, and larger increases in sexual receptivity in the long-term.\n \nLastly\, this thesis evaluates a pilot clinical study of transcutaneous stimulation of the dorsal genital and posterior tibial nerves in nine women with FSD. The women received stimulation once a week for 12 weeks and their sexual functioning was measured using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) at baseline\, after 6 weeks of stimulation\, after 12 weeks of stimulation\, and at 18 weeks (6 weeks after the last stimulation session). The average total FSFI score across all subjects significantly increased from baseline to each of the time points in the study. Significant FSFI increases were seen in the sub-domains of lubrication\, arousal\, and orgasm\, each of which is related to genital arousal.\n \nThis thesis provides evidence that peripheral neuromodulation can be an effective treatment for FSD. The stimulation is likely driving increases in genital blood flow\, with greater effects observed when stimulation is repeatedly applied over time. This treatment has the potential to help millions of women worldwide.

Robotic vehicles are enabling scientific technology for directly sampling and analyzing surface and subsurface compositions. Present-day robotic algorithms and systems lack sufficient robustness to operate reliably in environments that are unknown a priori. In this talk\, I will describe new approaches to real-time robotic mapping and information gathering. My research explores novel mathematical algorithms for autonomy and their open-source implementation on real robots in challenging situations — my long-term vision is to obtain a human-level perception and autonomy for autonomous robots.\n\nBio: Maani Ghaffari received the Ph.D. degree from the Centre for Autonomous Systems (CAS)\, University of Technology Sydney\, NSW\, Australia\, in 2017. He is currently an Assistant Research Scientist at the Robotics Institute and Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, MI\, USA. His research interests include applied mathematics\, robotic perception\, machine learning\, and planning under uncertainty with applications in robotics and autonomous systems.

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.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms and morphogenetic events underlying human neurulation is important for the prevention and treatment of neural tube defects (NTDs) and neurodevelopmental disorders. However\, animal models are limited in revealing many fundamental aspects of neurulation that are unique to human CNS development. Furthermore\, the technical difficulty and ethical constraint in accessing neurulation-stage human embryos have significantly limited experimental investigations of early human CNS development.\n I leveraged the developmental potential and self-organizing property of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in conjunction with 2D and 3D bioengineering tools to achieve the development of spatially patterned multicellular tissues that mimic certain aspects of human neurulation\, including neuroectoderm patterning and dorsal-ventral (DV) patterning of NT. \n In the first section\, I report a micropatterned hPSC-based neuroectoderm model\, wherein pre-patterned geometrical confinement induces emergent patterning of neuroepithelial (NE) and neural plate border (NPB) cells\, mimicking neuroectoderm patterning during early neurulation. My data support the hypothesis that in this hPS cell-based neuroectoderm patterning model\, two tissue-scale morphogenetic signals\, cell shape and cytoskeletal contractile force\, instruct NE / NPB patterning via BMP-SMAD signaling. This work provides evidence of tissue mechanics-guided neuroectoderm patterning and establishes a tractable model to study signaling crosstalk involving both biophysical and biochemical determinants in neuroectoderm patterning.\n In the second section\, I report a human NT development model\, in which NT-like tissues\, termed NE cysts\, are generated in a bioengineered neurogenic environment through self-organization of hPSCs. DV patterning of NE cysts is achieved using retinoic acid and/or Sonic Hedgehog\, featuring sequential emergence of the ventral floor plate\, p3 and pMN domains in discrete\, adjacent regions and dorsal territory that is progressively restricted to the opposite dorsal pole.

In his talk\, Bachmann will be exploring some aspects of that history\, drawing from his current research on James Boggs and Charles Denby\, two black labor activists from Detroit. In the early 1960s\, Boggs and Denby published insightful articles about the impact of automation and cybernation on the workers in Detroit's automobile plants and beyond. By teasing out some of the main ideas of their works\, Richard will show that Boggs and Denby still have a lot to contribute to current discussions of the future of work. \n\nRichard Bachmann is a first-year graduate student in the Department of History at U-M and a fellow of the Science\, Technology\, and Society Graduate Certificate Program. His current research focuses on the 1950s/60s debates in the U.S. and Europe about the repercussions of automation and cybernation for the labor market and society. Richard received both his B.A. (2012) and M.A. (2016) in American Studies from Leipzig University\, Germany\, and spent two semesters at Ohio University's Global Leadership Center in 2011 as a B.A. Plus Fellow.

In previous studies\, to evaluate maneuver challenge of a scenario\, surrogate models (SMs) are often used without explicit knowledge of the CAV under test. However\, performance dissimilarities between the SM and the CAV under test usually exist\, and it can lead to the generation of suboptimal library. In this work\, an adaptive testing scenario library generation method is proposed to solve this problem based on Bayesian optimization. A customized testing scenario library for a specific CAV model will be generated as the result of the adaptive process. Compared with a pre-determined library\, a CAV can be tested and evaluated in a more efficient manner with the customized library. To validate the proposed method\, a cut-in and a highway exit case are studied for safety and functionality evaluation respectively. For both two cases\, the proposed method can further accelerate the evaluation process by a few orders of magnitudes.\n\nShuo Feng is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan.

I’m not trying to alienate a reader\, or make someone think they can’t read it because they like more commercial things. I hope that there’s room for any sort of mind to encounter the book.”\n\nHer work has been translated into French\, Italian\, Spanish\, Dutch and German.

The groundbreaking ethnographic study brings our attention to the full arc of these men’s migration experiences\, from their upbringing in Mexican cities and towns\, to their cross-border journeys\, to their incorporation into urban gay communities in American cities\, and their sexual and romantic relationships with American men. These men’s diverse and fascinating stories demonstrate the intertwining of sexual\, economic\, and familial motivations for migration.\n\nProfessor Carrillo is the author of two books: The Night Is Young: Sexuality in Mexico in the Time of AIDS (University of Chicago Press\, 2002)\, and Pathways of Desire: The Sexual Migration of Mexican Gay Men (University of Chicago Press\, 2017). His current research investigates the sexualities of straight-identified men who are sexually interested in both women and men\, as part of a larger project on the paradoxes of sexual identity as a social construction.\n\nCarrillo serves as a member of the editorial boards of Sexuality Research and Social Policy\, and Sexualidad\, Salud y Sociedad: Revista Latinoamericana. He is a past chair of the Sociology of Sexualities Section of the American Sociological Association\, and he served as co-chair of the Social\, Behavioral\, and Economic Science track of the XVII International AIDS Conference. He also has a history of involvement in HIV/AIDS community based organizations.\n\nPresented by the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI).

Such investigation\, however\, requires a tool that can capture biological structures and their molecular constituents across multiple orders of magnitude—from nanometers to centimeters—in length. Electron microscopy offers nanoscopic resolution but lacks molecular information to differentiate endogenous biomolecules as well as imaging speed to cover millimeter-scale specimens. Light microscopy provides molecular contrast but is limited by optical diffraction and the tradeoff between imaging speed and photobleaching.\n \nIn this talk\, I will first introduce an optical imaging pipeline named expansion lattice light-sheet microscopy (ExLLSM) and its application to multiplexed\, volumetric imaging of molecular constituents in cells and intact tissues. Using ExLLSM\, our study has revealed molecular-specific structures of organelles\, synapses\, myelin sheaths\, and neurites in rodent and insect brains at ∼60 by 60 by 90 nm effective resolution across dimensions that span millimeters. Next\, I will present two recently developed methods that further extend the resolution and throughput of ExLLSM: (1) a non-radical hydrogel chemistry that forms a homogenous polymer network and physically separates biomolecules or fluorescent labels up to 40-fold linearly\, and (2) a multi-modal optical microscopy that enables rapid\, high-resolution imaging of both expanded and live tissues. Lastly\, I will discuss the significance of these imaging methods in the context of microanatomy and functional omics.

The strong shock wave\, generated ahead of the vehicle\, superheats the air to thousands of degrees and partially dissociates the air into atomic oxygen and nitrogen. Surrounded by this high-temperature shock layer\, the vehicle heat shield experiences large heating rates and must simultaneously withstand high temperatures and intense surface chemistry driven by reactive atomic species. Furthermore\, as the shock-heated gas flows around the vehicle\, the flow can transition from smooth laminar flow to chaotic turbulent flow and can form complex shock interactions near control surfaces. Predicting such effects requires understanding the interplay between fluid dynamics\, thermodynamics\, and chemical kinetics\; a research field referred to as aerothermodynamics.\n\nIn this talk\, I will focus mainly on our current understanding of the high-temperature shock layer. I will explain how we have reached the point where this thin shock layer (often on the order of one centimeter thick) can be studied at the scale of individual molecular collisions. In fact\, simulations can now be performed where the only model input consists of the forces between atoms as dictated entirely by quantum chemistry. I will present results from such first-principles simulations along with comparison to experimental shock-tube data\, and I will discuss some of the new physical insights gained. I will conclude the talk by highlighting the next big challenge of pursuing molecular understanding for gas-material interactions. This is an exciting field driven not only by NASA and the Department of Defense\, but also by commercial endeavors to field satellite mega-constellations in low Earth orbit.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nTom Schwartzentruber received his Bachelor’s degree in engineering science and his Master’s degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Toronto. He then received his doctorate degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan. For his doctorate work he received the AIAA Orville and Wilbur Wright graduate award. He joined the faculty in the Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics department at the University of Minnesota in 2008\, after which he received a Young Investigator Program Award from the AFOSR and the University of Minnesota Taylor Career Development Award for exceptional contributions by a candidate for tenure. He specializes in particle simulation methods such as direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and molecular dynamics (MD)\, including coupling such methods with each other and with continuum computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. Currently\, his research group is involved in a number of projects spanning hypersonic nonequilibrium reacting flows\, high-temperature gas-surface interactions\, hybrid particle-continuum methods\, and micro-scale flows.

How have societies accorded value to those who undertake this potentially lifesaving work? By situating breastfeeding within the historiography of carework\, this talk will address these questions\, examining efforts directed at breastfeeding\, wet nursing\, and human milk donation in Brazil in the first half of the twentieth century. If Brazilian health officials in this period agreed that human milk was critical for infant survival\, they did not see the efforts of all nursing women as equally valuable. Meanwhile many nursing women challenged these ideas\, demanding recognition of their contributions.\n\nVictoria Langland is Associate Professor in the Departments of History and Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan.

Langland's current book project is a history of breastfeeding\, wet-nursing and human milk banking in Brazil that looks at how public policies\, national and transnational breastfeeding advocacy\, and the actions of breastfeeding women have transformed understandings and practices about infant nutrition and women’s roles over time. \n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

The Chicago Tribune calls it \"exactly what you would expect from Lacey: perfect sentences\, penetrating insights\, devastating epiphanies.”\n\nLacey is also the author of The Answers (FSG\, 2017)\, a New York Times Top 10 Book of 2017\, and Nobody is Ever Missing (FSG\, 2014)\, a New Yorker Best Book of 2014. She has won a Whiting Award\, was a finalist for the NYPL's Young Lions Fiction Award\, was named one of Granta Magazine's Best Young American Novelists\, and has been compared to both Don DeLillo and Margaret Atwood.\n\nWriting about The Answers\, The Los Angeles Times said\, \"Like the work of Clarice Lispector or Rachel Cusk\, Lacey’s novels seem to be on the verge of inventing a new genre somewhere between prose poem and fugue state.\" Discussing The Answers with Interview Magazine\, Lacey notes\, “I want things to be both beautiful and readable. I’m not trying to alienate a reader\, or make someone think they can’t read it because they like more commercial things. I hope that there’s room for any sort of mind to encounter the book.”\n\nHer work has been translated into French\, Italian\, Spanish\, Dutch and German. With Forsyth Harmon\, she co-authored a nonfiction book\, The Art of the Affair. Her work has appeared in McSweeney’s Quarterly\, The Believer\, The Paris Review Daily\, The Atlantic\, and others.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

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.

By “colliding” the cornerstone of classic text with African-American musical genres\, McElroy (with collaboration from a group of incredibly diverse Musical Theatre students) creates a new musical work that delves into the heart of the human experience--how we’ve grown\, and spaces where we can still explore change.\n\n“We are in a space and a time right now where we are so fractured\,” says McElroy. “What theatre has to do right now more than ever is to fill that void. People can come together to grapple with what they believe without feeling judged or confronted. Theater and music help us to explore the ways in which we are different but more importantly how at our core very much the same. How is Shakespeare's investigation of humanity in the 1600’s the same as what we grapple with today?”\n\nTo answer that question\, McElroy commissioned musical responses to Shakespeare’s sonnets and soliloquies from peers including Daniel Watts (Ike Turner from Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner Musical)\, Julianne Wick Davis (Jonathan Larson Award Winner)\, Crystal Monee Hall (Rent)\, Celisse Henderson (Godspell) Marcus Paul James (Ain’t Too Proud) and Allen Louis. Some musical responses include lines directly from Shakespeare’s text\; some\, like a Blues piece that’s the antithesis of the sonnet to which it responds\, turn the traditional language on its head. Original text interweaves with Shakespearean sonnets\, soliloquies\, and new musical works\, creating a song-cycle that highlights the throughlines of love\, loss\, hate\, time\, age\, and jealousy that tie us together.\n\n*This show was originally announced with the working title Being Alive.

In this exhibition\, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement. \n\nSince June\, protests have been ongoing in Hong King\, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations\, over two million Hongkongers\, which is more than a quarter of the population\, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill\, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement. \n\nAfter 2/12\, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

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.

The successive cycles of urban transformation have created uneven\, landscapes which consist of fissures\, empty gaps and vacated spaces interspersed amongst and between developed zones of concentrated and thriving activities. The resulting leftover spaces are latent sites of contestation and uncertainty where rival actors compete for a semblance of control with their own visions of re-use ranging from spontaneous and temporary to deliberate and semi-permanent. \n\nOrganized around four different thematic sessions\, symposium participants will challenge the notion that all sites of abandonment suffer an identical fate. Examining these four regions as grounds for speculation and a platform for broader reflection engaging other global geographies\, participants will engage in discussions regarding the intricate relationship between the simultaneous\, incremental erasure of the built environment vis-a-vis ongoing urban projects that instigate\, appropriate\, produce and reproduce these weak urbanities while projecting more sustainable futures. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Seminar Series program at the Urban Studies Foundation (USF) and the University of Michigan Taubman College\, and is part of an interinstitutional initiative between the University of Michigan\, the University of Virginia\, and RWTH Aachen University.

But Charles Eisendrath has done both in his rich life. This is the memoir of a foreign correspondent and journalism mentor and yet a man who is spiritually rooted at his beloved Overlook Farm. The essays he has written about this life are a joy!”\n\nCharles R. Eisendrath grew up in St. Louis\, Missouri\, in a family that had vacationed in Charlevoix County since the 1890’s. One of the loves of his life is Overlook Farm near East Jordan\, Michigan\, which produces timber\, maple syrup\, and tart cherries. He is a passionate sportsman and canoeist. Many of those subjects are the focus of “Downstream from Here: A Big Life in a Small Place”. It is a collection of essays originally intended as a personal history to be shared with friends and family. It is a meditation on a life well lived\, a deep love of family\, and the love of a very specific place in the world. \n\nEisendrath was the first Director of the Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellowships at the University of Michigan. He is a Yale graduate\, a former Time magazine correspondent\, and founder of the Livingston Awards\, known as the Pulitzer Prize for journalists under 35 and known for providing early recognition for major talents.

DESCRIPTION:Catherine Lacey’s short story collection\, Certain American States (FSG\, 2018)\, portrays Americans tortured by the mundanity of their lives. The Chicago Tribune calls it \"exactly what you would expect from Lacey: perfect sentences\, penetrating insights\, devastating epiphanies.” \n\nLacey is also the author of The Answers (FSG\, 2017)\, a New York Times Top 10 Book of 2017\, and Nobody is Ever Missing (FSG\, 2014)\, a New Yorker Best Book of 2014. She has won a Whiting Award\, was a finalist for the NYPL's Young Lions Fiction Award\, was named one of Granta Magazine's Best Young American Novelists\, and has been compared to both Don DeLillo and Margaret Atwood. \n\nWriting about The Answers\, The Los Angeles Times said\, \"Like the work of Clarice Lispector or Rachel Cusk\, Lacey’s novels seem to be on the verge of inventing a new genre somewhere between prose poem and fugue state.\" Discussing The Answers with Interview Magazine\, Lacey notes\, “I want things to be both beautiful and readable. I’m not trying to alienate a reader\, or make someone think they can’t read it because they like more commercial things. I hope that there’s room for any sort of mind to encounter the book.” \n\nHer work has been translated into French\, Italian\, Spanish\, Dutch and German. With Forsyth Harmon\, she co-authored a nonfiction book\, The Art of the Affair. Her work has appeared in McSweeney’s Quarterly\, The Believer\, The Paris Review Daily\, The Atlantic\, and others. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (BA ’64\, LLDHon ’13).

These two problems have been extensively studied and several multivariate tests have been proposed over the last thirty years\, many of which are based on geometric graphs. These include\, among several others\, the celebrated Friedman-Rafsky two-sample test based on the minimal spanning tree and the K-nearest neighbor graphs\, and the Bickel-Breiman spacings tests for goodness-of-fit. These tests are asymptotically distribution-free\, universally consistent\, and computationally efficient (both in sample size and in dimension)\, making them particularly attractive for modern statistical applications. \n\nIn this talk\, we will derive the detection thresholds and limiting local power of these tests\, thus providing a way to compare and justify the performance of these tests in various applications. Several interesting properties emerge\, such as a curious phase transition in dimension 8\, and a remarkable blessing of dimensionality in detecting scale changes.

Integrating specific active learning strategies into class can challenge higher order thinking and create experiences in which students can apply what they have learned. The key is to find an activity that helps students achieve their learning outcomes. For example\, do you need an activity to activate prior knowledge\, apply a concept\, challenge critical thinking\, or simply delve into course content? This seminar will help instructors think more deliberately about when\, why\, and how to use active learning.\n\nThis seminar is part of the Student Engagement Series & Panel Discussion. The series includes evidence-based learning activities and strategies to prepare students for learning\, engage in meaningful discussions and group work\, and capture attention with complementary activities during lectures. Instructors and staff who are looking for specific and practical ways to increase engagement or simply freshen up a course are welcome to attend. Refreshments will be served.

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:68063-16988502@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:20200221T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200221T170000 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.

Many policymakers are embracing the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Vigorous debates are occurring over questions including:\n• Can renewables supply 100% of US electricity? 100% of all energy?\n• What role should existing nuclear plants play in a clean energy economy? New nuclear plants?\n• What role should carbon capture and storage play?\n• How fast should the US aim to transition to 100% clean energy? What are the key policy levers that could achieve this?\n• What roles should states\, cities\, and companies play in the clean energy transition?\n\nAnalysis and modeling of clean energy pathways can throw light on these questions. Everyone in the climate/energy policy community should understand how assumptions regarding the availability\, performance\, and integration of various technologies drive the energy\, environmental and economic implications of pathways to deep reductions in emissions. Implications for energy policy and R&D portfolios are also critical.\n\n\nDr. Karl Hausker leads analysis and modeling of climate mitigation\, electricity market design\, and the social cost of carbon. He led the Risky Business study of clean energy scenarios for the U.S.\, and lectures widely on deep decarbonization. He has led climate policy analysis and modeling projects for USAID\, USEPA\, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative\, the Western Climate Initiative\, and the California Air Resources Board. Much of his work has focused on the energy and transportation sectors\, and on low carbon\, climate resilient development strategies. From 2007-2013\, Karl was a Vice President at ICF International. His experience also includes: serving President Clinton as Deputy Assistant Administrator in EPA’s Policy Office where he represented EPA in interagency climate policy development and at COP-1\; and serving as the Chief Economist for the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources\, where he worked on a diverse set of issues including electricity restructuring\, CAFE standards\, alternative fuels\, western water policy\, nuclear power\, and energy security. Karl holds an M.P.P and Ph.D. in Public Policy from University of California\, Berkeley\, and received his Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Cornell University.\n\nSponsored by: The University of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP) and Global CO2 Initiative \n\nCo-sponsors: University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS)\, Graham Sustainability Institute\, and Center for Sustainable Systems\n\nFor more information contact closup@umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

Becoming Brokers: Explaining Thailand’s Growing Brand in Global Health DESCRIPTION:In areas ranging from universal healthcare to HIV prevention and access to medicine to health technology assessment and tobacco control\, Thailand’s public health programs have come to be regarded as a model for the industrializing world. How is it that a resource-constrained nation on the global periphery has produced model policies that are critical to public health and human life so consistently amid such political turmoil? What has led these policies to travel abroad? And more generally\, how has a small nation in Southeast Asia exercised such outsized influence in international affairs? Drawing on Fulbright-funded research with policymakers in Thailand and Geneva\, this project examines the roots of Thailand’s surprising success.\n \n Dr. Joseph Harris is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Boston University and conducts comparative and historical research that lies at the intersection of sociology\, public policy\, and global health. He is the author of Achieving Access: Professional Movements and the Politics of Health Universalism (Cornell University Press\, 2017).

However\, its importance as a key case study for understanding how contact shaped the ancient world is proportional to the degree of controversy surrounding its interpretation. This has pitted traditional views of Aegean settlers as hegemonic conquerors of passive indigenous populations against postcolonial views of more complex processes of contact and integration. The most recent results of my two fieldwork projects in southern Italy bring new important data to this debate: (1) the excavation of the site of Incoronata\, an indigenous center with strong evidence of co-existence between newcomers and the local community\, allows us to identify how space\, beliefs and know-how were shared at the site\; (2) bioarcheological analyses conducted in the region provide us with much needed demographic information\, upending many of the assumptions held so far and opening up new questions. Both lines of research identify local agency as the main driver for these interaction dynamics.

The social efforts often reflect strong corporate citizenship cultures at these companies. Many engineers are seeking to work for companies that are engaging in these types of projects. During this seminar the speaker will highlight such efforts within a heavy manufacturing entity\, in this case the automotive sector. Such efforts can be easily aligned with potential efforts within the aerospace industry.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nJohn Viera was most recently the former Global Director\, Sustainability & Vehicle Environmental Matters at Ford Motor Company\, a position he held since January\, 2007. Mr. Viera was responsible for developing global sustainable business plans and policies\, interfacing with global regulatory bodies\, reporting externally on the company’s environmental and social performance\, and leading the company’s engagement and partnerships with non-government organizations (NGOs) and other external stakeholders.\n\nViera has held several positions within Ford Motor Company during his 30 year tenure. For the first thirteen years of his career\, he worked in the company’s Truck Division with responsibilities that included leading the Company efforts in the development of its first natural gas-fueled pickup trucks and also leading the Company’s Global Truck Computer Aided Design organization.\n\nIn 1997\, Viera was appointed manager\, Plant Engineering Vehicle Team\, Explorer and Mountaineer programs. Located in Louisville\, Kentucky\, Viera was responsible for all on-site engineering personnel for Explorer plants in Louisville\, St. Louis\, Missouri\, and Valencia\, Venezuela. He returned to Michigan in 1999 to become the chief engineer for the Ranger Compact Pickup and Electric Ranger. In 2002\, Viera took on the company’s mid-term cost reduction initiative\, building a team which delivered $1.2 billion of savings in eighteen months\, beating his assigned target by over a year. In 2003\, Viera became chief engineer for the Expedition and Navigator Full Size SUVs\, with complete responsibility for current and future model programs.\n\nMr. Viera recently served on the advisory boards at Georgia Tech in Atlanta\, the Graham Institute of Environmental Sustainability at the University of Michigan\, the advisory board of Sustainable Brands\, and the Energy Advisory Committee at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago\, as well as the chair of the Department of Homeland Security’s Sustainability and Efficiency Task Force in Washington\, D.C.\n\nA native of Chicago\, Viera attended the University of Michigan\, receiving his Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1984 as well as a Masters in Business Administration in 1992.

I focus on six crises--economic irrationality\, workplace disempowerment\, government unresponsiveness\, environmental degradation\, social disintegration\, and international conflict--and argue that the root cause of each lies in the capitalist nature of our economic system. I show why\, so long as the core of the economy remains capitalist\, neither voluntary corporate efforts nor government regulation can overcome these crises\, even if sometimes they can be somewhat mitigated. To overcome them\, we need to reorient production and investment to the needs of people and planet\, rather than leaving such decisions in the hands of the top managers of enterprises driven by the need for profits. We must assert democratic control over the management of society’s productive resources\, both within individual enterprises and across the entire national economy\n\nNo country has successfully implemented such a system in a way that would meet our expectations of democracy\, innovativeness\, efficiency\, and motivation\, but I argue that we can find something close to a working model in a surprising place--in the strategic management process used by some of our largest corporations. Many of these corporations operate internally like planned economies--coordinating their subunits’ production and investment through strategic management rather than relying on market-like competition among subunits--and in doing so\, they face many of the same challenges as socialist planning would. This experience yields valuable lessons for socialism\, because in some of these corporations\, the strategic management process is remarkably participative\, as well as delivering impressive levels of innovation\, efficiency\, and motivation.\n\nTheir success in this remains limited: under capitalist conditions\, participation is restricted\, the scope of strategy is largely limited to the individual firm\, and the profit imperative constrains choices. But if we socialize the ownership of our economy’s productive resources\, democratic councils at the local and national levels could use that strategic management process to decide on our collective economic\, environmental\, social\, and international goals and on how to reach them.\n\nSocialism is not a leap into the entirely unknown. Capitalist industry is building some of its material and managerial foundations.

Additionally\, these acknowledgments have often come alongside announcements of plans for exponential increases to that workforce\, which now represents a global network of laborers – in distinct geographic\, cultural\, political\, economic\, labor and industrial circumstances – conservatively estimated in the several tens of thousands and likely many times that. Yet the phenomenon of content moderation in social media firms has been shrouded in mystery when acknowledged at all. In this talk\, Sarah T. Roberts will discuss the fruits of her decade-long study the commercial content moderation industry\, and its concomitant people\, practices and politics. Based on interviews with workers from Silicon Valley to the Philippines\, at boutique firms and at major social media companies\, she will offer context\, history and analysis of this hidden industry\, with particular attention to the emotional toll it takes on its workers. The talk will offer insights about potential futures for the commercial internet and a discussion of the future of globalized labor in the digital age.\n\n\nSarah T. Roberts is an assistant professor of Information Studies at the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies\, specializing in Internet culture\, social media\, and the intersection of media\, technology and society. She is founding co-director\, along with Dr. Safiya Noble\, of the forthcoming UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry. \n\nRoberts researches information work and workers\, and is a leading global authority on “commercial content moderation\,” the term she coined to describe the work of those responsible for making sure media content posted to commercial websites fit within legal\, ethical\, and the site’s own guidelines and standards. She is frequently consulted on matters of policy\, worker welfare\, and governance related to content moderation issues and the broader social media landscape. \n\nShe is a 2018 Carnegie Fellow and winner of the 2018 EFF Barlow Pioneer Award in recognition of her work on commercial content moderation.

In Queer Kinship and Family Change in Taiwan\, Brainer looks across generational cohorts for clues about how larger social\, cultural\, and political shifts have materialized in people’s everyday lives. Her findings bring light to new parenting and family discourses and enduring inequalities that shape the experiences of queer and heterosexual kin alike.\n \nBrainer’s research takes her from political marches and support group meetings to family dinner tables in cities and small towns across Taiwan. She speaks with parents and siblings who vary in whether and to what extent they have made peace with having a queer or transgender family member\, and queer and trans people who vary in what they hope for and expect from their families of origin. Across these diverse life stories\, Brainer uses a feminist materialist framework to illuminate struggles for personal and sexual autonomy in the intimate context of family and home.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.\n\nThere will be an instant-win raffle at the beginning of the event for 5 free copies of the book!

As an architect\, she had a special interest in the influence of the architectural design on sound\, and this was the driving force behind wanting to study architectural acoustics. Her previous work includes designing innovative sound diffusers inspired by the cymatics phenomenon in which she explored some of the physical aspects of room acoustics. However\, the physical measurements do not precisely reflect the human acoustical experience. Therefore\, her study extends to include the perceptual and cultural aspects of acoustics\, providing a more integrated approach to understanding the aural experience. The physical aspect concentrates on analyzing sound propagation in space whereas the perceptual aspect centered on the psychological and physiological effects of sound and its relation to human cognition. The cultural aspect focuses on studying the role of the cultural background in sound perception and the role of social activities in shaping the soundscape of specific places. Hence\, her research aims at providing a new comprehensive method of analyzing the aural architecture of buildings by linking qualitative and quantitative methods\, studying the ways in which they interact\, and how they relate to the architectural design.

G2 manifolds are important in physics because they admit parallel spinors. It is of interest to construct compact examples with singularities. I will then give a survey of some of my work that is related to conical singularities of G2 manifolds\, including: desingularization\, deformation theory\, and a possible strategy to construct such G2 conifolds. This will include some (separate) joint works with Dominic Joyce and Jason Lotay. No previous exposure to G2 geometry will be assumed\, but the focus will be more mathematical than physical.

In this talk\, I will highlight our group’s work on accurately capturing the fluid dynamics that takes place in the vicinity of finite-time singularities. The free surface flow algorithms and solvers that we develop and use rely on a sharp interface representation of phase boundaries. In the simulations\, we are able to analyze situations that involve disparate length scales that differ by up to seven orders of magnitude (commercial codes can handle about 2-3 orders and custom codes can capture at most 3-4 orders of magnitude disparity in length scales). The primary focus of the talk will be on simulations of the breakup of surfactant-covered filaments where I will pay special attention to the pinch-off singularity. I will also summarize some of our recent work on the pre- and post-coalescence singularities that arise when two drops or bubbles are driven together and made to merge into one. \n\nBio: Motivated by applications in ink jet printing\, separations\, production of emulsions\, dispersions\, and double-emulsions\, and drop-wise manufacturing\, Prof. Basaran’s research involves the use of a balanced approach based on computation\, theory\, and experiment to attack a number of fundamental issues that lie at the heart of such practical problems. Currently\, the research is organized along the following key themes.

At the atomic scale\, hydration modifies the structure and physical properties of minerals through associated defects. At mesoscopic scales water influences diffusion\, rheology and lattice preferred orientation. At geophysical scales\, water cycling through the solid mantle plays a critical role in melt generation\, plate tectonics\, and may have acted to buffer the volume of Earth’s oceans over geologic time.

DESCRIPTION:RSVP Here!What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Esports”? A billion-dollar empire being built? Causes of addiction and violence? Having come a long way from video gaming\, Esports has evolved into a global phenomenon even though controversies persist.   Research shows that 65% of 8-12 years old teenagers play video games for more than 2 hours per day. About 41% of boys think they have spent too much time on video games. Being addicted to video games is only one of many reasons that people are against Esports. From many adults’ perspective\, violent\, bloody elements in video games are likely to negatively affect teenagers. Hence\, Esports is an industry bearing prejudice and stereotypes.However\, as a burgeoning industry\, Esports is gaining massive popularity across the globe in recent years. According to Newzoo\, revenues of the global Esports industry exceeded $1.1 billion in 2019\, which is an increase of 26.7% over the previous year. Asia-Pacific sees the highest proportion of Esports viewership (57%) and the major growth is being witnessed in China. North America is once again the largest Esports market where the major share is contributed by the United States. With more investors\, favorable policies\, and the potential access to the Olympics\, Esports\, a new era “gold rush” is redefining the world of games.   From game development\, to corporate social responsibility\, to higher education\, how should Esports navigate the controversies? What factors have contributed to the rise of Esports?

By “colliding” the cornerstone of classic text with African-American musical genres\, McElroy (with collaboration from a group of incredibly diverse Musical Theatre students) creates a new musical work that delves into the heart of the human experience--how we’ve grown\, and spaces where we can still explore change.\n\n“We are in a space and a time right now where we are so fractured\,” says McElroy. “What theatre has to do right now more than ever is to fill that void. People can come together to grapple with what they believe without feeling judged or confronted. Theater and music help us to explore the ways in which we are different but more importantly how at our core very much the same. How is Shakespeare's investigation of humanity in the 1600’s the same as what we grapple with today?”\n\nTo answer that question\, McElroy commissioned musical responses to Shakespeare’s sonnets and soliloquies from peers including Daniel Watts (Ike Turner from Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner Musical)\, Julianne Wick Davis (Jonathan Larson Award Winner)\, Crystal Monee Hall (Rent)\, Celisse Henderson (Godspell) Marcus Paul James (Ain’t Too Proud) and Allen Louis. Some musical responses include lines directly from Shakespeare’s text\; some\, like a Blues piece that’s the antithesis of the sonnet to which it responds\, turn the traditional language on its head. Original text interweaves with Shakespearean sonnets\, soliloquies\, and new musical works\, creating a song-cycle that highlights the throughlines of love\, loss\, hate\, time\, age\, and jealousy that tie us together.\n\n*This show was originally announced with the working title Being Alive.

In this exhibition\, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement. \n\nSince June\, protests have been ongoing in Hong King\, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations\, over two million Hongkongers\, which is more than a quarter of the population\, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill\, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note\, however\, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces\, music\, videos\, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement. \n\nAfter 2/12\, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

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.

Beyond Nature: Animism and Scale DESCRIPTION:Keynote Lecture by Catherine J. Allen\, The George Washington University: “Stones Who Love Me: miniaturization and animation in the Andes”\n \nIn an instruction manual for rural priests\, published in 1620\, the extirpator Pablo de Arriaga warned that\, among Andean “idolatries\,” the most difficult to destroy were those carried on privately within individual households. These practices concentrated on miniatures -- small stones in the shapes of\, llamas\, alpacas maize or potatoes. Far from being rooted out\, they continue in many Andean communities\, where certain small stone objects are thought to be intrinsically connected to powerful Places that control the vitality and reproduction of herd animals and crops. This illustrated lecture explores the animacy of these stones and compares them with other living stones in the Andean landscape that are said to have experienced a change in dimension at the moment of petrification. The analysis focuses on these shifts of dimensionality and enclosure in relation to the animacy of the Andean cosmos.\n \nDr. Allen is a sociocultural anthropologist interested in expressive culture and performance. She specializes in ethnography and ethnohistory and also experiments with modes of ethnographic writing and other modes of ethnographic representation. Her latest book is Foxboy: Intimacy and Aesthetics in Andean Stories.\n \nFull Symposium Schedule:\n10:00 am: Coffee\n10:30 am - 12:00 pm: Discussion of selected excerpts from Foxboy: Intimacy and Aesthetics in Andean Stories with Dr. Allen\n12:00 - 1:30 pm: Lunch\n1:30 - 3:30 pm: Symposium\n4:00 - 5:30 pm: Keynote Lecture\n \nThe Andean Circle (also known as Círculo Micaela Bastidas Phuyuqhawa or simply Círculo Andino) is an organization of students and faculty\, mostly affiliated with the University of Michigan\, whose work focuses on one of the Andean republics. The group is a Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop funded and administered by University of Michigan’s Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies (LACS).\n\n---\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities.

It is a communal editing event that focuses on recognizing the accomplishments of women and non-binary people and collectives in arts and activism. There will be a talk and live DJ set by Detroit-based artist\, educator and community organizer\, Mother Cyborg. It is presented in partnership with the U-M Libraries.\n\nAbout Mother Cyborg\n\nBorn in Chicago\, raised in the small town of Frankfort\, Indiana\, transplanted to Detroit in 2008 38-year-old Diana Nucera is Mother Cyborg. Nucera’s day job involves working in accessible technology education\, and she has a background in teaching high school students in media and audio production and is the director of the Community Technology Project. Her stage name is Mother Cyborg. She DJs under the same name at her monthly gig at Temple Bar\, appropriately named Temple of Cyborg.\n\nDetroit has influenced the way in which she sees and think about the future\, mainly because people are working with what they have\, envisioning a future that they literally have to make themselves. Maybe it’s because she came out of the DIY punk movement\, but that feels good to her. She says\, “Let’s make our own future and not have Apple make it for us.”\n\nAbout the Feminist Futures: Art\, Design & Activism Event Series\n\nFeminist Futures: Art\, Design and Activism is an ongoing event series exploring the role of feminism in art\, design\, scholarship\, and politics. The series brings together multigenerational artists and thinkers in contemporary art\, design\, art history\, and related fields who have shaped\, and are shaping\, current discourses on gender and the fight for equality.\n\nFeminist Futures: Art\, Design & Activism Series is organized by Stamps Gallery and co-sponsored by the Center for the Education of Women+ (CEW+) Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund with support from the Institute for Research on Women & Gender (IRWG) and U-M Libraries.\n\nDesign by Ouliana Ermolova. \n\nPlease RSVP to reserve your place for this free event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ann-arbor-art-feminism-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-tickets-86153035047 UID:71058-17770761@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71058 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Workshop LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191004T181807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200222T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200222T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. 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:68063-16988503@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:20200222T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200222T170000 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.

Most of you were probably studying\, playing video games\, or working up the courage to talk to your crush.

Jangsari isn’t the first Korean movie to feature student soldiers (2010 hit 71: Into the Fire owns that honor) but it does tell a story of a battle that was previously hidden under the covers of national security.” –RICHARD YU\, Cinema Escapist\n\nCheck out Cinema Escapist’s full review here: https://www.cinemaescapist.com/2019/10/review-battle-of-jangsari/\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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

By “colliding” the cornerstone of classic text with African-American musical genres\, McElroy (with collaboration from a group of incredibly diverse Musical Theatre students) creates a new musical work that delves into the heart of the human experience--how we’ve grown\, and spaces where we can still explore change.\n\n“We are in a space and a time right now where we are so fractured\,” says McElroy. “What theatre has to do right now more than ever is to fill that void. People can come together to grapple with what they believe without feeling judged or confronted. Theater and music help us to explore the ways in which we are different but more importantly how at our core very much the same. How is Shakespeare's investigation of humanity in the 1600’s the same as what we grapple with today?”\n\nTo answer that question\, McElroy commissioned musical responses to Shakespeare’s sonnets and soliloquies from peers including Daniel Watts (Ike Turner from Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner Musical)\, Julianne Wick Davis (Jonathan Larson Award Winner)\, Crystal Monee Hall (Rent)\, Celisse Henderson (Godspell) Marcus Paul James (Ain’t Too Proud) and Allen Louis. Some musical responses include lines directly from Shakespeare’s text\; some\, like a Blues piece that’s the antithesis of the sonnet to which it responds\, turn the traditional language on its head. Original text interweaves with Shakespearean sonnets\, soliloquies\, and new musical works\, creating a song-cycle that highlights the throughlines of love\, loss\, hate\, time\, age\, and jealousy that tie us together.\n\n*This show was originally announced with the working title Being Alive.

Her husband of two years\, Juan\, whom she married to please her father and not for love\, has been unable to give her the child she desires. Tormented\, Yerma seeks advice from an older woman in the town who tells her of a pilgrimage many barren young women take to help them get pregnant. A provoking and heart-rending story\, Yerma lays bare society’s expectations through one woman’s struggles between honor and conformity\, passion\, and duty.
