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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. She is the author of Speaking of Flowers: Student Movements and the Making and Remembering of 1968 in Military Brazil (Duke University Press\, 2013) and the co-editor of The Brazil Reader: History\, Culture\, Politics\, 2nd edition\, (Duke University Press\, 2019)\, and Monumentos\, Memoriales y Marcas Territoriales (Siglo XXI\, 2003).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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). Dr. Harris has served as a consultant to the United Nations Development Programme and the World Bank\, most recently as Specialist on the Political Economy of Healthcare Reform for the Japan-World Bank Project on Universal Coverage. He is a past recipient of a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Award and the Henry Luce Scholarship and holds a Master’s in Public Affairs from Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He received his doctorate in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and served as Lecturer at the University of Chicago’s School of Public Policy Studies before joining the faculty at BU. In 2017\, Dr. Harris received the Gitner Award for Distinguished Teaching and a Fulbright Scholarship for a project that explores the diffusion of Thailand’s model public health policies abroad. He serves as Associate Editor at Social Science and Medicine.\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.

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 a consequence\, we show that our system can capture commonality between Focus-agreement in CVC and Subj.-Verb agreement in Standard Arabic discussed in Kinjo (2015).

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. I am hoping that some of you can teach me more physics during the day.

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. I will focus on recent laboratory experiments\, inclusions in diamond\, and seismological observations that reveal clues about the distribution and origin of water in our habitable planet.

Dating to the sixteenth century\, the stories—pir katha—are still widely read and performed today. The events that play out rival the fabulations of the Arabian Nights\, which has led them to be dismissed as simplistic folktales\, yet the work of these stories is profound: they provide fascinating insight into how Islam habituated itself into the cultural life of the Bangla-speaking world.\n\nTony K. Stewart is Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Chair in Humanities at Vanderbilt University and a specialist in the religions and literatures of early modern Bengal. His works include \"The Final Word: The Caitanya Caritāmṛta and the Grammar of Religious Tradition\,\" \"Fabulous Females and Peerless Pirs: Tales of Mad Adventure in Old Bengal\,\" and \"Witness to Marvels: Sufism and Literary Imagination.\"\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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things.

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

Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations.

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

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. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207393@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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. 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:63842-16390976@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:20191223T181639 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200222T111500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200222T120000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Storytime at the Museum DESCRIPTION:Storytime at the Museum promotes art enjoyment for our youngest patrons.

Most of you were probably studying\, playing video games\, or working up the courage to talk to your crush. In 1950\, South Korean students were either volunteering or being drafted into the Korean War\, to fight against a North Korean invasion. “Battle of Jangsari” highlights the role that a company of student soldiers played in enabling the Incheon beach landings\, by diverting North Korean military attention to Jangsari beach. 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. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance.

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.

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

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

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:68063-16988504@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:20200223T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200223T170000 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.

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.

Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things.

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

The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting\, monotype\, photography\, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change.

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

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

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.

Parekh\, MD\, MPH\, argues that disease prevention must be our nation's top health policy priority. Building a personal culture of prevention\, he writes\, is not enough\; elected officials and policymakers must play a greater role in reducing preventable deaths. Drawing on his experiences as a clinician\, public servant\, and policy advisor\, Dr. Parekh provides examples of prevention in action from across the country\, giving readers a view into why prevention-first policies are important and how they can be accomplished. Throughout the book\, he demonstrates that\, in order to optimize health in America\, we must leverage health insurance programs to promote disease prevention\, expand primary care\, attend to the social determinants of health\, support making the healthier choice the easy choice for individuals\, and increase public health investments. Prevention First not only sounds the alarm about the terrible consequences of preventable disease but serves as a rallying cry that we can and must do better in this country to reduce preventable deaths.\n\nAnand Parekh is the Bipartisan Policy Center’s (BPC) chief medical advisor providing clinical and public health expertise across the organization\, particularly in the areas of aging\, prevention\, and global health. Prior to joining BPC\, he completed a decade of service at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. As deputy assistant secretary for health from 2008 to 2015\, he developed and implemented national initiatives focused on prevention\, wellness\, and care management. Parekh is a board-certified internal medicine physician\, a fellow of the American College of Physicians\, an adjunct assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University\, and an adjunct professor of health management and policy at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. He has spoken widely and written extensively on a variety of health topics such as chronic care management\, population health\, value in health care\, and the need for health and human services integration. A native of Michigan\, Parekh received a B.A. in political science\, an M.D.\, and an M.P.H. in health management and policy from the University of Michigan.

Despite some inconsistencies across studies\, few studies have explored the convergent\, discriminant\, and predictive validity of self-report and cognitive measures of these psychological characteristics in adolescence. The present study evaluated the convergent and discriminant validity of self-report and cognitive measures of reward sensitivity and self-regulation among 2017 adolescents (age M = 16.8\, SD = 1.1\; 56% female\; 55% White\, 22% Black\, 8% Hispanic\, 15% other race/ethnic\; 49% 10th grade and 51% 12th grade). This study compared the predictive validity of an omnibus measure and specific measures of risk engagement. Convergent and discriminant validity from self-report to cognitive tasks were as predicted\, although with weak convergent relationships. As hypothesized\, compared to cognitive tasks\, self-report measures consistently predicted risky behaviors and explained more variance in the models. These results demonstrate that while cognitive tasks can significantly predict certain risk behaviors\, they require increased power to find the very small effects\, raising questions about their use as implicit proxies for real world risk behavior.\n\nLolita Moss\n\nTitle: \nConnecting Media Use and Acceptance of Intimate Partner Violence Among Black Young Adults\n\nAbstract:\nAlthough scholars have found connections between mainstream media consumption and acceptance of intimate partner violence (IPV)\, little is known about the specific mechanisms that connect media use to endorsement of such violence. Understanding this connection is particularly relevant for Black Americans because Black women report higher rates of intimate partner violence than do White women (Al’Uqdah\, Maxwell\, & Hill\, 2016)\, and Black Americans consume more media than the general population (Rideout\, Lauricella\, & Wartella\, 2011). Accordingly\, this study tested these connections among Black adults\, investigating contributions of their consumption of movies\, music videos\, and 52 popular television programs to their acceptance of dating violence. Our survey of 369 Black young adults also tested three potential mediators using SEM: sexual objectification\, heterosexual script\, and two stereotypes about Black women\, the Sapphire and the Jezebel. Results from parallel mediation analyses indicated that heavier exposure to all three media predicted higher levels of the three mediators\, which in turn predicted greater acceptance of IPV.

Black-White Differences in Pregnancy Desire and Pregnancy DESCRIPTION:PSC Brown Bag Series presents Jennifer Barber:\n\nThis talk draws from two papers\, one that investigates whether Black and white women's desires for pregnancy are different during the transition to adulthood\, and another that investigates whether Black women who have a strong desire to postpone pregnancy are less likely to see those desires fulfilled than their white peers. The papers draw from Arline Geronimus' weathering framework and Linda Burton's ideas about uncertainty and instability in the Black community to understand Black-white differences in desires for young pregnancy\, alongside Warren Miller's Traits-Desires-Intentions-Behavior framework to understand why some women are more likely than others to get what they want in terms of childbearing. Both papers use the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life dataset\, which followed a sample of 914 young women ages 18 and 19 with weekly survey interviews for 2.5 years. The analyses also draw from 60 semi-structured interviews with a sub-sample of these women\, in which interviewers discussed the women's desires and plans for their future\, including childbearing.\n\nWe demonstrate that (1) Although young Black women are significantly more likely than young White women to express ambivalence or indifference toward a pregnancy in the near future\, those feelings are very rarely expressed by women in either group\; (2) Black women experience a smaller reduction in the risk of pregnancy when they do not desire to become pregnant compared to White women\; and (3) This Black-White disparity is in part because Black women are more likely than White women to think their intimate partner wants them to get pregnant\, which is in turn associated with less contraceptive use.\n\nOther researchers' interpretations of higher rates of undesired pregnancy among Black women as evidence that they do not want to plan their pregnancies may exacerbate racial disparities in undesired pregnancy by facilitating White women's childbearing desires more than Black women's childbearing desires. In contrast\, we conclude that it is likely that many Black women who say they want to delay pregnancy really do want to delay pregnancy\, but are unable to do so.\nBIO:\n\nJennifer Barber is Professor of Sociology and Research Professor in the Population Studies Center at University of Michigan. In Fall 2020\, she will be Professor of Sociology and Senior Scientist at the Kinsey Institute\, Indiana University. Barber's research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of family sociology\, demography\, and social psychology\, with a focus on young/teen pregnancy\, intimate relationships\, reproductive control\, and intimate partner violence. Her program of research has been continuously funded by NICHD for twenty years. She recently completed an intensive longitudinal data collection project\, the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life (RDSL) study\, which collected weekly surveys from 1\,000 18- and 19-year-old women for 2.5 years\, along with 75+ semi-structured interviews and administrative data. The RDSL focuses on the types of attitudes\, intimate relationships\, and contraceptive practices that lead to young pregnancy. Barber's work using these data integrates statistical and qualitative analyses. Her current projects focus on (1) how violent and/or demanding intimate partners derail young women's post-secondary education plans\, (2) how the dissolution of violent and non-violent intimate relationships during the transition to adulthood varies across demographic groups\, and (3) how intimate relationships shape young women's expectations and ability to control heterosexual intercourse and contraceptive use\n\nPSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

With an increase in postcolonial migrations – whether forced\, voluntary\, or in between – of individuals and communities from the Global South to the Global North\, has colonialism’s unidirectional plunder under the guise of a “civilizing mission” now given way to immigrants of color being framed as invaders\, pollutants\, and burdens on the state in order to maintain discursive hierarchies of race\, social class\, and nation? In this post/colonial era\, what\, then\, is the relationship between immigrant vulnerability and gender violence?\n\nIn the United States\, a plethora of individuals and institutions have advocated for the rights of vulnerable immigrants\, resulting in Acts such as VAWA and related remedial measures for low income victims of gender-based violence (including domestic violence and sexual assault.) What are some of the strengths and challenges of these legal mechanisms? With many citizen female victims of violence already ending up as defendants in the criminal justice system\, where does it leave vulnerable immigrant women\, especially in cases where the perpetrators are not “their” men but members of an elite white citizenry? What about the immigrant men of color\, who are already framed as violent in the nation’s political imagination? And transgender and queer immigrants - even more marginalized\, seldom talked about? In other words\, can the gender\, race\, social class\, and immigration status of victims and perpetrators of gender-based violence have an impact on legal outcomes? As the nation debates its immigration policies\, what services can local and national organizations for survivors of gender violence offer\, in more practical terms\, to immigrants and vulnerable others?\n\nThe 3 panelists of this small 2-hour symposium will address the above interdisciplinary themes in their presentations. The discussion will be followed by audience Q+&A and an Indian dinner. The event will be free and open to the public.

Since the galactic cosmic rays do not point back to their sources we must search for other clues of their origins\, and some handles on this are their energy spectra and their detailed elemental and isotopic compositions. The predecessor TIGER instrument made preliminary measurements of UHCR abundances resolving individual elements from 30Zn to 40Zr with two Antarctic flights (2001-2002\, 2003-2004) totaling ~50 days. These data support a model of galactic cosmic-ray origins with a dominant contribution from OB association massive star clusters where the source material is enhanced by the outflow and super nova ejecta of these stars (~20%)\, and in which the more refractory elements that condense into dust grains are preferentially accelerated (~4x) over the volatile ones found as gas. SuperTIGER is over four times the size of TIGER\, and with its first 55 day Antarctic flight (2012-2013) confirmed the TIGER findings through 40Zr with good statistics\, and with the inclusion of data from a second flight (2019-2020) will extend preliminary UHCR abundance measurements through around 56Ba. Our UHCR observations to date show the galactic cosmic-ray source is enhanced by massive star products over solar system (~5 billion year old ISM)\, which means this comparatively fresh sample of galactic material can shed light on which heavier elements are significant products of massive stars and their associated supernova (SN) nucleosynthesis. This could help provide constraints on models for the synthesis of heavy elements in binary neutron star mergers (BNSM)\, for which evidence has been observed in ejected material seen in optical observations following LIGO event GW170817. BNSM are rarer than SN by several orders of magnitude or more\, and are unlikely to have contributed to the observed fluxes of the UHCR. I will present on the SuperTIGER science\, and the unique challenges and charms of scientific ballooning in Antarctica.\n UID:71016-17768617@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71016 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191218T151250 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200224T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200224T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Honors Stowe Lectures DESCRIPTION:Derek Thompson is a staff writer at The Atlantic\, where he covers economics and culture.

From Christian translations to secular retellings on the seventeenth-century stage\, Ovid’s story of a girl’s miraculous transformation into a boy sparked a diversity of responses in English and French from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. In addition to analysing various translations and commentaries\, the volume clusters essays around treatments of John Lyly’s Galatea (c. 1585) and Issac de Benserade’s Iphis et Iante (1637). As a whole\, the volume addresses gender and transgender\, sexuality and gallantry\, anatomy and alchemy\, fable and history\, youth and pedagogy\, language and climate change.\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!

Catastrophic Thinking in Science and Culture: Geo-Eschatology and the Anthropocene DESCRIPTION:The specter of extinction looms large in the late-modern Western psyche. As a cultural \"imaginary\,\" extinction is perhaps the distinctive post-WWII anxiety. Since the 1950s\, visions of nuclear annihilation\, mass famine\, environmental collapse\, biodiversity loss\, and other self-inflicted catastrophes have haunted literature\, art\, film\, popular media\, and political discourse as central preoccupations. Indeed\, one of the main imagined consequences of the ongoing climate crisis is the production of a \"Sixth Extinction\"--a collapse of biological diversity that may rival the great mass extinctions of the geological past and threaten the future of human civilization. \n\nNot coincidentally\, the second half of the 20th century also saw a dramatic revival among geologists and paleontologists of theories involving catastrophic mass extinctions as central agents in the history of life. This talk will explore the interpenetration of these scientific and cultural discourses during the 20th century. In particular\, I will argue that our current cultural fascination with the so-called Anthropocene is a direct consequence of the fusion of the geological and the eschatological meanings of extinction: extinction thinking may in fact be the bridge between the deep past and imagined future of our species and our planet. \n \nDavid Sepkoski is the Thomas M. Siebel Chair in History of Science and Professor in the Department of History at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign. He has published widely on histories of biology\, the earth and environmental sciences\, and data. His most recent book is Catastrophic Thinking: Extinction and the Value of Diversity from Darwin to the Anthropocene.

Navigating the Transition to Adulthood in the 21st Century DESCRIPTION:Abstract: What is it about twentysomethings today? Popular media portray young adults as selfish slackers who never want to grow up. Although the concept of delayed adulthood has some basis in reality\, it can be argued that an extended period of exploration might be adaptive in the 21st century. In this talk\, we will explore the impact of this slower transition to adulthood on the health and well-being of youth today as well as the diversity of their experiences as they seek to define themselves. Dr. Jodl will also offer some practical advice to parents on how to best support their young adults as they navigate the transition to adulthood.\n\nBio: Kathleen M. Jodl is the Jacquelynne S. Eccles Collegiate Lecturer of Psychology at the University of Michigan. She joined the Michigan community in 1997 after earning her doctorate in developmental psychology from the University of Virginia. Her research interests focus on family influences on adolescent development and the transition to adulthood. Over the last 10+ years\, Dr. Jodl has taught thousands of undergraduates in a wide range of courses at UM including a gateway course in developmental psychology\, social development\, and a popular seminar on emerging adulthood. She brings a wealth of hands-on experience “living the dream” as the mother of four young adults ranging in age from 15 to 21 years.

A revolutionary new minimally invasive solution was developed by a US MedTech company\, enabling doctors to replace or repair these damaged valves via a transcathether approach rather than the existing standard of care which involved open heart surgery. While the treatment was revolutionary\, and sales grew strongly\, over half of the US population were still missing out on treatment\, representing lost lives and lost opportunity.

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.

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.

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.

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. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207395@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988505@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:20200129T153237 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CRLT Workshop DESCRIPTION:Students interrupting instructor presentations\, challenging instructor expertise\, disrupting other students' learning during class: many instructors have experienced a rise in such behavior in recent years\, and research shows that the burdens of navigating such challenges fall disproportionately on instructors of color and white women instructors. \n\nWhat do you experience as disrespectful\, and how does this connect to your social positionalities? What practices could work best for you in preventing and responding to disrespect and disruption? In this interactive session\, participants will work in small groups to understand the range of experiences instructors have across settings and social identities at U-M. Further\, participants will engage with a range of research-based strategies for responding to student challenges to their expertise or authority\, as well as strategies for setting up a learning environment where disrespectful behavior is less likely to occur.

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.

Various properties of such solutions can be inferred by constructing auxiliary functions that satisfying suitable inequalities. The most familiar example is the construction of Lyapunov functions to infer stability of particular states\, but similar approaches can produce many other types of mathematical statements\, including for systems with chaotic or otherwise complicated behavior. Such statements include estimates of time-averaged quantities and extreme transient behavior\, approximation of nonlinear stability properties\, and design of controls. In many cases\, the search for the auxiliary function that implies the strongest mathematical statement can be posed as a convex optimization problem. Such problems can be studied analytically or computationally\, but in most cases computation is needed to find solutions that are close to optimal. Of particular use are computational methods of polynomial optimization\, where the optimization constraints include polynomial inequalities. This talk will provide an overview of different ways in which auxiliary functions can be used to study nonlinear ODEs and PDEs\, as well as how polynomial optimization can be used to implement these methods computationally. Methods will be illustrated using applications to various complex systems.

Often written using a technical vocabulary that was later largely abandoned (and is hence sometimes quite difficult to understand)\, these texts have rarely been studied systematically by modern scholars interested in Chinese religious or intellectual history. Professor Greene presents some preliminary findings from this corpus concerning the way that the earliest Chinese Buddhist translators tried to render the sophisticated Indian Buddhist vocabulary of sense perception and its relationship to desire. Both the ways that they succeeded and the ways they failed may allow us to see the presuppositions concerning these topics on both sides in this dialog in a new light.\n \nEric Greene is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Yale\, where he has taught since 2016. He received his BA (Mathematics)\, MA (Asian Studies)\, and PhD (in Buddhist Studies) from UC Berkeley\, and specializes in the history of medieval Chinese Buddhism. His research focuses on topics including Buddhist meditation in China\, Chinese Buddhist rituals of confession and atonement\, the history of Chan (Zen) Buddhism\, Buddhist image worship in China\, and the history of translation within Chinese Buddhism.\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.

Thanks to the invisibility of carillonists and of their agency\, carillon concerts remain an uncontested musical practice on the social\, cultural\, architectural\, and sonic landscape\, while their power to construct exclusionary sonic communities functions in plain view and hearing. This work challenges the racialized and gendered boundaries that have constructed the carillon as a spatio-sonic tool for social harmony. Carillons served governments and corporations in Cold War-era technology development\, cultural diplomacy\, and corporate expansion\, and if we listen carefully\, we can hear their colonial entanglements.

In this talk\, I will show recent efforts to use light pulses at terahertz and x-ray frequencies to stimulate and track emergent dynamical properties of materials on ultrafast time scales. In the “scale-up” example\, we observed a new set of collective excitations in polar vortices\, named vortexons. A unique soft mode is identified as a pair of oscillating vortex cores that can be significantly tuned by thermal strain around room temperature. The discovery of tunable vortexons opens a new avenue for high-frequency dielectrics and optoelectronics applications. In the “scale-down” example\, I will show the distinct structural dynamics of monolayer crystals WSe2 from their bulk counterparts. We found the absorbed optical photon energy is preferably coupled to the in-plane lattice vibrations within one picosecond whereas the out-of-plane lattice vibration amplitude remains unchanged during the first ten picoseconds\, marking the distinct structural dynamics of monolayer crystals from their bulk counterparts. Looking into the future\, the recent progress of developing multimodal\, multiscale x-ray imaging platform will be discussed to go beyond the ensemble average for studying nanoscale ultrafast dynamics. \n UID:72099-17939962@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72099 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200219T145828 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop DESCRIPTION:Ethiopia in Theory\, Theory as Memoir\, Elleni Centime Zeleke\n\nIn the Invention of Africa\, Valentine Mudimbe argues that when the social scientist asks about the local in Africa she inevitably ends up situating Africa as a sign of something other than itself. For Mudimbe\, the social sciences are a paradigmatic cultural model that leaves the African social scientist with limited choices. Alternatively\, Mudimbe advises that if we document the invention of this cultural model we can demonstrate the limits of social studies in Africa as a mode of knowledge production. \nIn my talk\, I try to show how the commitment to science limited the capacity of the Ethiopian student movement of the 1960s and 1970s to describe what Mudimbe calls the ‘chose du texte’ of living and breathing Africans. By highlighting a link between the writings of the Ethiopian student movement and the social conditions of knowledge production I then try to connect the history of the west in Africa to the limitations in the writings of the student movement. This has provided me with a path towards a ‘recit pour soi’ – an account of myself as a path towards personal survival.\n Centime Zeleke received her Ph.D. from the Graduate Program in Social and Political Thought at York University (Toronto) in 2016. Her research interests include student movements in the Horn of Africa\, 20th-century state formation in Africa\, as well as comparative social and political theory.\n\nElleni’s forthcoming book is titled Ethiopia In Theory: Revolution and Knowledge Production\,1964-2016. The hardcover will be published by the Historical-Materialism Book Series at Brill in the fall of 2019. A paperback version will also be published by Haymarket Books in 2020. Ethiopia In Theory asks: what does it mean to write today about the appropriation and indigenisation of Marxist and mainstream social science ideas in an Ethiopian and African context\; and\, importantly\, what does the archive of revolutionary thought in Africa teach us about the practice of critical theory more generally?\n\nElleni’s work has also appeared in the Journal of NorthEast African Studies and Callaloo: A Journal of African Diaspora Arts and Letters.\n\nElleni teaches courses on the Horn of Africa\, African Political Thought\, Critical Theory\, and Histories of Capitalism.\n\nZeleke teaches courses on African Political Thought\, Critical Theory\, and Histories of Capitalism.

Adams\, the Ta-You Wu Collegiate Professorship in Physics\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:The fundamental constants of nature must fall within a \nrange of values in order for the universe to develop structure and\nultimately support life. This talk considers current constraints on\nthese quantities and assesses the degree of tuning required for the\nuniverse to be viable. In the realm of particle physics\, the relevant\nparameters are the strengths of the fundamental forces and the\nparticle masses. Additional astrophysical parameters include the\ncosmic energy density\, the cosmological constant\, the abundances of\nordinary matter and dark matter\, and the amplitude of primordial\ndensity fluctuations. These quantities are constrained by the\nnecessity that the universe lives for a long time\, emerges from its\nearly epochs with an acceptable chemical composition\, and successfully\nproduces galaxies. On smaller scales\, stars and planets must be able\nto form and function. The stars must have sufficiently long lifetimes\nand hot surface temperatures. We also consider potential fine-tuning\nrelated to the triple alpha reaction that produces carbon\, the case of\nunstable deuterium\, and the possibility of stable diprotons. For all\nof these issues\, the goal is to delineate the range of parameter space\nfor which universes can remain habitable. In spite of its biophilic\nproperties\, our universe is not optimized for the emergence of life\,\nin that the proper variations could result in more galaxies\, stars\,\nand potentially habitable planets.\n\nFurther Information: This collegiate professorship was named in honor\nof Ta-You Wu\, a graduate of the Michigan Physics Department and\nrecipient of an Honorary Doctor of Science from the University. He was\none of the central figures of the 20th century in both the Chinese and\nTaiwanese physics communities. Adams received his PhD at U. C.\nBerkeley\, where his advisor was Professor Frank H. Shu\, who in turn\nhas close ties to Ta-You Wu and his family. Naming this Collegiate \nProfessorship after Ta-You Wu honors Prof. Wu\, the Michigan Physics \nDepartment\, and Adams' PhD mentor (Shu).

To some extent\, the curricular content choices of the course may exacerbate this tendency by using a reductionist approach to presenting topics. While this manner of organizing content is likely important in helping emphasize foundational concepts of chemistry\, the extent to which students transfer their knowledge to new situations may be affected by this content presentation strategy. Bringing the idea of systems thinking to the general chemistry course represents a way to maintain the careful instructional tactics of foundational topics while at the same time putting them into larger\, societal contexts that assist students in using their chemistry knowledge in new situations. A key question that directs the implementation of the systems thinking pedagogical strategy for teaching is\, \"Are we considering the right boundary for this chemistry\, or do we need to connect it to larger contexts and systems?\" Examples of how planetary boundaries and systems thinking can be employed in general chemistry to expand how students view the applicability of their newly gained chemistry knowledge will be described and the results of these efforts over the past several years in chemistry classes at Iowa State will be evaluated in this presentation. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThomas Holme (Iowa State) UID:70975-17762324@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70975 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1706 chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200212T080330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200225T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Civil engineering Nth Nth-of -a-Kind advanced nuclear reactors DESCRIPTION:Nuclear energy provides approximately 20% of the nation’s electricity and is the only green heat source capable of delivering base load power at this time. Plants in the existing nuclear fleet are being retired because they cannot complete financially with natural gas and there is no carbon tax at present. The overnight capital cost for new build nuclear plants in the United States is about $12\,500 per kWe \, which has to be reduced by about a factor of five to be competitive with the price point of natural gas. Civil construction accounts for between 45% and 50% of the cost of a new build nuclear plant and so drastic reductions in these costs are needed for commercial customers to consider nuclear energy as a source of power generation. The presentation will explore the cost drivers for new build plants\, identify differences between building and nuclear construction\, describe how poor design decisions lead to dramatic increases in cost\, introduce civil civil-engineering strategies for mitigating the effects of external hazards.\n\nAndrew Wittaker is a SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Civil\, Structural and Environmental Engineering at the University of Buffalo.

At first blush\, South Korea illustrates the basic premise of modernization theory: economic development leads to democracy. However\, under Park Chung Hee (1961-1979) and Chun Doo Hwan (1980-1988)\, Korea’s political system became increasingly authoritarian alongside the growth of the national economy. These South Korean autocrats sought legitimacy of their coup-born regimes by holding legislative elections and investing in economic development. I argue and demonstrate that the structural foundations of modernization (industrial complexes and higher education in particular) had an initial stabilizing effect on authoritarian rule by increasing regime support\, but also contributed to the development of mobilizing structures for anti-regime protests in the 1970s and 1980s by various social movement groups\, most importantly workers and students. By highlighting the differential impacts of modernization structures over time\, my research shows how socioeconomic development acted as a “double-edged sword” by stabilizing the regimes at first\, but destabilizing the dictatorship over time.\n \n Dr. Joan Cho is an Assistant Professor of East Asian Studies and an Assistant Professor\, by courtesy\, of Government at Wesleyan University.

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. 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.

She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity\, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them.

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.

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

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. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207396@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n UID:68063-16988506@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:20200226T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200226T170000 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.

The Environmental Impacts of Mass Housing in Post-Socialist Europe DESCRIPTION:The goal of this lecture is to explore mass housing in the cities of post-socialist Europe and its impacts on the environment. The lecture focuses on the scale of post-socialist mass housing\, its inhabitants as users of the living environment\, and the challenges of urban renewal\, which are increasing the environmental impacts on cities. The presentation will analyze these environmental changes\, which began in the cities of post-socialist Europe after 1989 and the post-Soviet urban environment after 1991. The challenges of inhabitants’ participation and urban renewal strategies have slowed urban development. Professor Chabanyuk argues that during the last three decades of post-socialist transition\, the living environment of prefabricated mass housing has faced redevelopment challenges due to socio-political and economic change. This question requires efficient and sustainable responses in order to consider the environmental impacts in future urban change.\n\nOksana Chabanyuk is an associate professor of architecture at Kharkiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture\, Ukraine. For the 2019-20 academic year she is a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the University of Michigan. Her research at CREES and the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia focuses on the contribution of American specialists to the development of industry and cities in 1920-30s Eastern Ukraine. Dr. Chabanyuk’s academic interests include standardization and early industrialization in the USSR\, influence of foreign specialists\, prefabrication in industry and housing\, post-socialist housing\, social housing\, and regeneration of residential areas. She is an architect and received her bachelor’s degree in architecture\, MA in urban planning (2000)\, and PhD at the National University Lviv Polytechnic\, Ukraine (2004). Her dissertation was entitled “Regeneration of the Residential Environment of High-rise Housing Areas of the 1970-80s (Lviv Case Study).” She has participated in various international competitions\, programs\, and workshops including: exchange study at Coventry University\, UK (1996)\; Visiting Teachers Program at the AA School of Architecture\, London (2010)\; visiting researcher at the University of Lisbon\, Portugal (2014-15)\; visiting staff at the Dublin Institute of Technology\, Ireland (2015)\; and Lublin University of Technology\, Poland (2016-18). Professor Chabanyuk has also participated at international conferences\, roundtables and seminars in Germany\, Portugal\, Austria\, Poland\, UK\, USA\, and Ukraine. \n\nThis lecture is part of the WCEE environment series.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Our approach combines onshell methods such as generalized unitarity and the double-copy construction with effective field theory methods for integration and matching. As a first application\, we derive a new result in general relativity: the third post-Minkowskian correction to the conservative two-body Hamiltonian for spinless black holes.

Discussed approaches will include how to demonstrate the scholarly rigor of your digital project\, accurately credit the labor required of the project at every stage\, and provide evidence and metrics for promotion and job dossiers.\n\nThis workshop is part of a series\, Digital Scholarship 101. This series of workshops helps scholars avoid outdated projects\, unpreserved knowledge\, uncredited labor\, and privacy or consent issues by emphasizing process in the project life cycle. Workshop participants learn how to conceptualize the life cycle of a project using human-centered design and backwards modeling when planning their projects to better understand how to version\, archive\, and preserve their research projects. Throughout the series\, thematic questions around sustainability\, preservation\, accessibility\, privacy\, consent\, grant requirements\, and teaching with research will be examined. We encourage you to come with a project in mind and bring materials if available\, but is not required to attend. The intended audience for this workshop is humanities graduate students and humanities faculty interested in digital scholarship.\n\nRegister here: https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/sessions/digital-scholarship-101-conceptualizing-your-pr/ UID:72729-18068365@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72729 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Digital Humanities,Digital Scholarship,Digital Studies,Ds 101 LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - ScholarSpace CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191209T094000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200226T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200226T160000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:German Lab DESCRIPTION:The German Lab is open Monday-Thursday 1-4 every week.

The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\nThe workshop will run from February 5 to April 15\, 2020. Participants meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. There will be no meeting on March 4. \nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll UID:71150-17783451@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71150 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English As A Second Language,Graduate,International,Language,Speech Language Pathology,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Workshop LOCATION:V.

With the milestone discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC)\, high energy physics has entered a new era. The completion of the “Standard Model” (SM) implies\, for the first time ever\, that we have a relativistic\, quantum-mechanical\, self-consistent theoretical framework\, conceivably valid up to exponentially high energies\, even to the Planck scale. Yet\, the SM leaves many unanswered questions both from the theoretical and observational perspectives\, including the nature of the electroweak superconductivity and its phase transition\, the hierarchy between the particle masses and between the observed scales\, the nature of dark matter etc. There are thus compelling reasons to believe that new physics beyond the SM exits. We argue that the collective efforts of future high energy physics programs\, in particular the future colliders\, hold great promise to uncover the laws of nature to a deeper level. \n\n UID:72100-17939963@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72100 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200205T151901 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200226T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200226T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Launch of O Menelick 2 Ato #21 and Opening of “O Menelick 2Ato.

Considering the large number of synthetic iron complexes\, why is this? We are taking a close look at this question and\, in the process\, have come up with some design principles that are guiding our work towards developing synthetic iron-based catalysts that use O2 as the oxidant. This work represents a major effort in our group towards sustainable chemistry by using earth abundant metals and oxidants that are non-toxic.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nDavid Lacy (University of Buffalo) UID:69886-17482924@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69886 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200225T134203 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200226T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200226T180000 SUMMARY:Presentation:LSA Grant Project Showcase DESCRIPTION:LSA is holding a grant showcase event on February 26\, from 4:30 to 6:00pm.

The science that it promises to deliver ranges from characterizing the atmospheres of planets orbiting other stars to finding the most distant galaxies.\n\nLecture: Michigan League - Michigan Room (2nd Floor)\nReception Following: Michigan League - Kalamazoo Room (2nd Floor) UID:70223-17549993@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70223 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:astronomy,astrophysics,Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering,lecture,physics,space science LOCATION:Michigan League - Michigan Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200226T180029 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200226T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200226T213000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Palomitas Cineclub: Festival de cine presents Frágil equilibrio (Delicate Balance) DESCRIPTION:Frágil equilibrio (Delicate Balance)Guillermo García López / Chile\, Mexico\, Spain\, Uruguay\, Japan / 2016 / 81 min\n Spanish\, English\, French\, and Japanese with English subtitles\n With José Alberto MujicaCentered around an extensive interview with Jose “Pepe” Mujica\, the former President of Uruguay who gained notoriety on the world stage as a rare politician: one that lives according to the ideas and principles he preaches\, Delicate Balance is a contemplative essay on the everyday reality of globalization.Mujica’s ideas about modern society\, where economic interests prevail over human values\, are used to connect three stories: A Japanese salaryman in Tokyo\, a sub-Saharan community trying to cross the borders into Europe\, a family evicted from their own home in Spain. Three stories intertwined on three different continents.The words of the President Mujica — a humble\, soft-spoken figure who looks like a retired farm laborer rather than a retired politico — structure this clear-sighted documentary about the socio-economic mess we’re making of our world\, but it also comes with suggestions from Mujica about how to change it for the better.Ultimately\, Delicate Balance is a proposal for change\, from the particular to the general\, that offers a powerful message of optimism for the future. This film is a reflection on the path that the human race is taking\, on its habits and its relationship with the world. Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.
