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.

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. 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.

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.

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

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today.

Many policymakers are embracing the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Vigorous debates are occurring over questions including:\n• Can renewables supply 100% of US electricity? 100% of all energy?\n• What role should existing nuclear plants play in a clean energy economy? New nuclear plants?\n• What role should carbon capture and storage play?\n• How fast should the US aim to transition to 100% clean energy? What are the key policy levers that could achieve this?\n• What roles should states\, cities\, and companies play in the clean energy transition?\n\nAnalysis and modeling of clean energy pathways can throw light on these questions. Everyone in the climate/energy policy community should understand how assumptions regarding the availability\, performance\, and integration of various technologies drive the energy\, environmental and economic implications of pathways to deep reductions in emissions. Implications for energy policy and R&D portfolios are also critical.\n\n\nDr. Karl Hausker leads analysis and modeling of climate mitigation\, electricity market design\, and the social cost of carbon. He led the Risky Business study of clean energy scenarios for the U.S.\, and lectures widely on deep decarbonization. He has led climate policy analysis and modeling projects for USAID\, USEPA\, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative\, the Western Climate Initiative\, and the California Air Resources Board.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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:68986-17207394@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:68063-16988504@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.

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.

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.

The ruling class\, presiding over a society dominated by inequality\, war and state repression\, increasingly views socialism as an immediate threat.\n\nThe Socialist Equality Party is running in the 2020 elections to explain what socialism really means. Join the SEP’s candidates—Joseph Kishore for President and Norissa Santa Cruz for Vice President—in the historic struggle to unite all workers internationally\, independent of the political parties of the ruling class. The working class is the social force that can replace capitalism with international socialism.\n\nThis town hall meeting with Joseph Kishore is part of a national series of meetings being held across the United States\, hosted by the IYSSE and the SEP.

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. Dieter Iveson\, Project Leader from our BCG Los Angeles office\, will lead this virtual session and walk through his specific experience on a BCG client case\, where he\, alongside a team of BCG consultants\, developed a strategy grounded in big data analyses to help this client address this unmet burden of disease.

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. 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.

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?

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.

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. Cho specializes in authoritarianism\, democratization\, social movements\, and authoritarian legacies in Korea and East Asia. Her research on authoritarian regime support\, South Korean democracy movement\, and electoral accountability in post-transition South Korea are published in Electoral Studies\, Journal of East Asian Studies\, Studies in Comparative International Development\, and Routledge Handbook of Korean Culture and Society. Her additional writings\n \nDr. Cho received her PhD and AM degrees in Political Science from the Department of Government at Harvard University and a BA (cum laude with honors) in Political Science from the University of Rochester.

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.

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.

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.

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. Prospects and challenges for applying quantum field theory for the gravitational wave physics program are discussed.

In this workshop we will cover conceptualizing a research project with specific scholastic outcomes\, objectives\, and deliverables. Then\, high-level tasks will be conceptualized and mapped to releases\, versions\, or editions of the project. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. In hosting mock trials\, court transcript readings\, and trial advocacy workshops\, the artist investigates who performs the role of witness in our society and how that understanding may map onto the narrower legal definition of the role. The installation will host legal simulations from participating groups\, including the Trial Advocacy Society and the Oral Argument Competition from the University of Michigan Law School\, as well as the undergraduate team of the Collegiate American Mock Trial Association. Taking the role of courtroom sketch artists\, or court reporters\, students from the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design will observe and document the courtroom performances through drawing\, text\, photography\, and video.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J.

Can such geometric incompatibilities be used for the rational design and control of wrinkle patterns at will? In this talk\, we discuss the possibility of designing wrinkle patterns \"in the large\" using a recently derived effective or coarse-grained model for wrinkles arising in the vanishing thickness limit. After explaining the basic mechanics involved\, we show how the model predicts the patterns in various experiments and simulations of thin and ultrathin confined elastic shells. More generally\, we derive a classification scheme for wrinkle patterns into three basic types\, as well as a Plateau-like principle predicting the arrangement of wrinkles in the negatively-curved (saddle-shaped) case. Such rules open the way towards the principled design of wrinkle patterns\, with potential applications ranging from flexible electronics to synthetic skins.\n\nThis is joint work with Yousra Timounay and Eleni Katifori (UPenn)\, and Desislava Todorova and Joseph D.

The text subverts the reliability of visual cues for identification\, dissociating the reincarnating being from its physical shell in a way that resembles the relationship between an actor and a role. Hamamatsu also de-emphasizes one’s agency in the karmic cycle\, instead portraying it as an inevitable unfolding of narrative along predetermined paths\, much like a script for a play. Through the presentation of reincarnation in these theatrical terms\, the text produces a dimensional\, layered subjecthood.\n \nTerry Kawashima is Professor of Asian Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston.

Respectful Listening – Meaningful Actions DESCRIPTION:The workshop is from 2-3:30\, followed by a networking reception until 4:00.\n\nThe concept of Rematriation as Reconciliation is simple. It is the return of living seeds to their Community of Origin. But issues of trust soon emerge. Who is involved in conceptually framing and prioritizing critical thought and action? Who/what Community Members have both standing and agency to be engaged—ethically\, spiritually\, and legally? Who speaks for Indigenous Nation’s seeds in museum diaspora? What is “listening” when contributing parties’ paradigms of reality are not fully congruent?\n\nThis workshop\, co-led by Tribal Partner Mede (Elder) Shannon Martin\, will address deep listening skills as a key to trust-building. Shannon is the Director of the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture & Lifeways in Mount Pleasant\, Michigan. The Heritage Seeds Project and how it grew into the Indigenous Collaborative Garden will be one trust-building example. The challenges of deep listening from an academic perspective are real. Participants should become aware that Reconciliation is about fundamental change – in one’s self.\n\nDr. David C. Michener is the curator at the U-M Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum. Best known to the public for his co-authored book Peony\, which made the New York Times 2018 Summer Reading List\, his research addresses understanding the complex cross-cultural heritages of ornamental peonies and conserving key living specimens. He has an active program in molecular-evidence of peony relationships with colleagues and students here at U-M and in Belarus. His work with Indigenous Seeds in museum collections is an unanticipated intersection of deep engagement with U-M’s Museum Studies Program (Rackham Graduate School) and an ethical concern with the ‘Voice’ of Indigenous Communities in interpreting native plant collections and landscapes stewarded by the Botanical Gardens & Arboretum. Before coming to Michigan\, David earned his BA in Botany (UNC-Chapel Hill)\, and his PhD (Claremont Graduate School) was followed by a NSF-funded postdoc at Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum.\n\n RSVP requested at: cew.umich.edu/events/cewinspire-workshop-who-speaks-for-seeds-respectful-listening-meaningful-actions/ UID:69928-17483065@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69928 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Biology,Community Service,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Diversity Strategic Plan,Ecology,Environment,Free,History,Humanities,Inclusion,Life Science,Mindfulness,Multicultural,Native American,Natural Sciences,nature,Outdoors,Sustainability,Well-being,Workshop LOCATION:Center for the Education of Women CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200226T073413 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:On the Empty Miles of Ride-Sourcing Services: Theory\, Observation\, and Countermeasures DESCRIPTION:The proliferation of smartphones in recent years has catalyzed rapid growth of app-based ride-sourcing services such as Uber\, Lyft and Didi Chuxing. A big issue that arises with service expansion is the empty miles produced by ride- sourcing vehicles. To overcome the physical and temporal frictions that separate drivers from customers and effectively reposition themselves towards desired destinations\, ride sourcing vehicles generate a significant amount of vacant trips. These empty miles traveled result in an inefficient use of the available fleet and increase traffic demand\, posing substantially impacts on system operations. This talk expounds the operational physics underlying the empty miles in ride-sourcing services\, and interprets the cause of two critical matching failures that can arise due to some common mechanisms practiced by ride-sourcing platforms. Given the prevalence of the failures in real-world operations\, we discuss countermeasures to avoid inefficiencies upon the empty miles\, and sustain the system performances. Massive empirical data are employed to evidence the presence of matters in reality as well as the effectiveness of control strategies discussed.\n\nZhengtian Xu is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan.

A key aspect of omni-channel fulfillment problems is the trade-off between cancellations of accepted online orders and profits\; a riskier fulfillment policy may result in more online sales but also more cancelled orders.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe a stochastic model of the process leading to order cancellations for a single item so that retailers may find fulfillment policies that effectively use this information along with shipping costs between various locations. We describe iterative algorithms based on Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis (IPA) that converge to optimal and locally optimal policies within certain flexible policy classes for the multiple-location version of this model\, and show their empirical performance on simulations based on real data from a high-end North American retailer.\n\nTime permitting\, I will describe a related problem of maximizing revenues subject to a constraint on cancellations across a large portfolio of items and an approach to solving it. This talk is based on the dissertation of Jeremy Karp at CMU describing work carried out jointly with Prof. Sridhar Tayur (CMU) and Dr. Srinath Sridhar (Onera Inc).\n\nBio:\nDr. R. Ravi is Andris A.

The most commonly-used generalized inverse is the well-known and celebrated Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse. But not all Moore-Penrose properties are needed to ensure that a generalized inverse solves key problems\, like least squares. So there is the opportunity to find sparser generalized inverses that do the jobs. The usual approach of exact 1-norm minimization to induce sparsity has flaws here\, so we will look at an alternative approach overcoming the flaws. I will present theoretical and computational results on this\, in particular approximation algorithms with nice properties. Based on joint works with: Marcia Fampa (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro)\, Luze Xu (UM)\, and Gabriel Ponte (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro).\n\nBio:\nJon’s research focus is on nonlinear discrete optimization (NDO). Many practical engineering problems have physical aspects which are naturally modeled through smooth nonlinear functions\, as well as design aspects which are often modeled with discrete variables. Research in NDO seeks to marry diverse techniques from classical areas of optimization\, for example methods for smooth nonlinear optimization and methods for integer linear programming\, with the idea of successfully attacking natural NDO models for practical engineering problems.

Many low-carbon electric generation technologies exist that we can use\, but the value of these technologies depends on economics\, policies\, local environments\, and the larger systems in which they are embedded. In this seminar\, I will explore how these factors can affect the value of three technologies: carbon capture and sequestration (CCS)\, run-of-river hydropower\, and grid-scale electricity storage. CCS includes three distinct processes - capturing\, transporting\, and sequestering CO2 - that are highly constrained by spatially-variable laws and regulations\, which I will discuss. I will then present work on optimizing the operations of a series of run-of-river hydropower facilities in California to maximize their revenues while limiting downstream flow impacts\, enabling profitable deployment while mitigating local environmental impacts. Finally\, while grid-scale electricity storage is seen as a key enabling technology for high-renewable futures\, studies indicate it can increase CO2 emissions in the near-term. To conclude the seminar\, I will quantify near- and long-term CO2 emission (dis)benefits of grid-scale storage under varying power system conditions.

APTs consist of multiple stages\, including initial system compromise\, privilege escalation\, and data exfiltration\, each of which involves strategic interaction between the APT and the targeted system. While this strategic interaction can be viewed as a game\, the stealthiness\, adaptiveness\, and unpredictability of APTs imply that the information structure of the game and the strategies of the APT are not readily available. In this talk\, we will present a game-theoretic approach to characterize the trade-off between effectiveness for detecting APTs and resource efficiency. Our approach to modeling APTs is based on the insight that the persistent nature of APTs introduces information flows in the system that can be monitored. One monitoring mechanism is Dynamic Information Flow Tracking (DIFT)\, which taints and tracks suspicious information flows through a system and performs security analysis on the tainted flows at designated locations. Since performing security analysis on all the flows will incur significant memory and performance overhead\, efficient defense policies are needed to maximize the probability of detecting the APT while minimizing resource costs. In this work\, we develop a multi-stage game framework for modeling the interaction between an APT and a DIFT\, as well as designing an efficient DIFT-based defense. Our model is grounded on APT data gathered using the Refinable Attack Investigation (RAIN) flow-tracking framework. We will present the current state of our formulation\, insights that it provides on designing effective defenses against APTs\, and directions for future work.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\nShana Moothedath is a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at the University of Washington\, Seattle\, USA.

While progress is being made\, most tissues created to date are simply not large enough to support clinically meaningful functions\, and their structural features remain an magnitude coarser in resolution than native tissues. Few organs better represent this challenge than the liver – the largest visceral organ in the human body\, in which hepatocytes are aligned in single cell-width structures entangled with vascular and biliary networks. To address this challenge\, we are working to develop a portfolio of tools that integrate 3D printing\, synthetic biology\, and the innate capacity of cells to self-assemble. We are applying these tools to decode the signals that drive tissue assembly during development\, and using this information to build scaled artificial tissues that replicate the features of native tissues.

Grassroots Perspectives on Business & Human Rights: Insights from \"Tethered Fates\" DESCRIPTION:Global supply chains link consumers\, brands\, manufacturers\, workers\, and local community members as “stakeholders” with significantly different levels of risk and benefit. When harm occurs in the course of business activity\, prevailing approaches to stakeholder consultation are typically driven by companies\, without significant input from people at the grassroots level. This talk reveals where stakeholder consultation is taking place globally\; how the process unfolds at the community level\; and what types of innovation might be possible but are currently missed by “top-down” approaches to consultation. Hertel’s talk features analysis of quantitative data from over 7\,000 companies worldwide\; she finds extractive companies across all regions tend to consult more heavily than light manufacturing companies\, and corporations determine the mode\, scope and content of the practice regardless of sector or region. The talk also features original interview data from paired case studies in two manufacturing towns in the Dominican Republic where collegiate apparel is produced. Hertel reveals local peoples’ insights on the limits of existing approaches to stakeholder dialogue along with their ideas for how better to diagnose problems\, predict future challenges\, and forge solutions to ongoing violations of economic rights.\n\nCo-sponsor: U-M President’s Advisory Committee on Labor Standards and Human Rights.\n\nShareen Hertel is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Connecticut\, jointly appointed with the university’s Human Rights Institute. Drawing on 20 years of policy work with United Nations agencies\, foundations\, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the United States\, Latin America and South Asia\, her scholarship focuses on economic rights\, social movements\, and global supply chains. Hertel is Editor of The Journal of Human Rights\; co-editor of the Routledge International Studies Intensives book series\; and serves on the editorial boards of Human Rights Review and Human Rights and Human Welfare. Her published work includes Tethered Fates: Companies\, Communities and Rights at Stake (Oxford University Press 2019)\; Activists Beyond Borders: Conflict & Change Among Transnational Activists (Cornell University Press\, 2006)\; Economic Rights: Conceptual\, Measurement & Policy Issues (Cambridge University Press 2007 with Lanse Minkler)\; Human Rights in the United States: Beyond Exceptionalism (Cambridge University Press\, 2011 with Kathryn Libal)\; along with multiple articles and book chapters. Hertel holds a doctorate in Political Science (2003)\, Master’s degrees in Political Science (1999) and International Affairs (1992) all from Columbia University\, as well as a BA in International Relations (1988) from The College of Wooster.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at umichhumanrights@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

In many populations\, the process of adaptive evolution can be thought of as an uphill walk of a population on a \"fitness landscape\" where mutations are steps and fitness is altitude. Understanding the structure of fitness landscapes is a fundamental open problem in evolutionary biology. I will discuss our efforts to probe the fitness landscapes and the adaptive walks on them using experimental microbial populations. I will show some interesting and perhaps somewhat counterintuitive patterns that we found. If time permits\, I will say a few words about our initial attempts to build a theory that might help us understand these patterns.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/BAMcA5yz8I8 UID:69044-17220025@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69044 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Earth Day At 50,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200313T123028 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:NSA Opportunities: Navigating the Application Process Webinar DESCRIPTION:If you’re thinking of applying at NSA\, this is a great primer on what we do\, our student and career opportunities and the steps in our application process.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: More than 30 years ago\, a debate that took place in the journal Archeologia Medievale marked a turning print in the study of post-Roman urbanism. The subject was: can we consider Europe's late antique and early medieval cities as \"proper\" cities? After some decades\, and many archaeological investigations\, our perception of this subject has become much different from that pioneering starting point. Are \"discontinuity\" or \"continuity\" (in respect to the past) still useful terms to label that segment of European urban history? The presentation will explore the most recent data and discuss new perspectives on urban landscapes during late antiquity and the early middle ages. \n\nAndrea Augenti has taught medieval archaeology at the University of Bologna since 2000. He has carried out investigations in many Italian sites and directed the excavation of the monastery of San Severo in Classe (Ravenna). Andrea Augenti is also editor of the journal Archeologia Medievale and member of the International Advisory Board of the journal Medieval Archaeology. He is a member of Scientific Committee of the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum (Rome) and of the RavennAntica Foundation. He is the author of several publications\, including Archeologia dell'Italia medievale (2016) and A come Archeologia (2018).

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

In the Great Lakes system\, lake sturgeon are not only the largest indigenous freshwater fishes\, they are also important players in complex aquatic food webs. Their remarkable past has given way to a tenuous future as overfishing\, habitat loss\, and pollution threaten their survival. Today\, there is hope in efforts to restore lake sturgeon populations and spawning grounds\, as well as in public awareness initiatives that share the cultural and ecological significance of this species.

Wherever he went\, amidst political upheaval\, his director followed with a camera. The resulting reality cinema is the living story of a struggle for justice and human dignity\, for freedom of expression\, which Thai filmmakers do not have. A dark cinematic record of democracy in action\, in all its farcical\, obscene and heartbreaking details.\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.

A major inspiration for Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill saga\, this endlessly inventive film\, set in late nineteenth-century Japan\, charts the single-minded path of vengeance taken by a young woman (Meiko Kaji) whose parents were the unfortunate victims of a gang of brutal criminals. Fujita creates a wildly entertaining action film of remarkable craft\, an effortless balancing act between beauty and violence.\n\nCinematographer: Masaki Tamura\n\nRead more about the film\, including ratings\, at the IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158714/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\n\nFull series details and film trailers here: https://www.michtheater.org/cinematography/ UID:70768-17642240@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/70768 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Film,Japanese Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191203T095901 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200227T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Mary Poppins DESCRIPTION:Fly away with the Burns Park Players this winter\, as they stage their biggest production yet: Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins at the Power Center!
