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:68986-17207406@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.

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.

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. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

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.

Calligraphy began in China\, but in Japan\, both Kanji (Chinese characters) and Kana (Japanese phonetic characters) are combined and devised to create a uniquely Japanese art. With the brush soaked in ink\, the thickness and the tone of the characters can be controlled. In this way\, a calligrapher expresses his or her own spirit and thought. In the class\, students will express and practice the art of Japanese calligraphy with a brush and black ink\, learning both Kana and Kanji characters. The drawing process itself encourages a calming of the mind and peacefulness\, similar to a form of meditation. Tools provided for classroom only. This is an art class with black ink\, so you might want to wear a smock or cloth that can be washed. Konomi Shinohara Corbin taught the first Calligraphy class offered at the University of Michigan some years ago. She has taught Japanese Language at both the University of Michigan and at Eastern Michigan University.

With the Trump administration’s foreign policy (withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear deal\, saber-rattling and then negotiations with North Korea\, the attack of post-WWII international organizations and alliances\, and the recent withdrawal from the Intermediate Nuclear Force agreement with Russia) the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock ahead to 100 seconds to midnight (the closest to catastrophe the clock has been since 1953 when the USSR first detonated a hydrogen bomb). This discussion-based seminar describes the climate and space weather consequences of nuclear war to remind us of the apocalyptic fate of civilization that nuclear weapons can unleash and examines what we can do to reduce this threat.

O'Mealia will be discussing his working paper co-authored by Patrick Vinck and Phuong Pham.\n\nPeacekeeping operations rely on the support of the local population both to gather information and to solidify peace. To gain such support\, missions must cultivate trust with the residents in the areas in which they operate. We develop a theory of a transactional model of trust with international peacekeeping missions: those who interact with and benefit from UN peacekeeping missions are more likely to trust it. We find support for this theory leveraging two waves of an original\, representative survey of more than 12\,000 adults in three eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo and an additional sample of more than 5\,000 civilians in areas directly around peacekeeping bases. Our results show that civilians are more likely to express trust in the peacekeeping mission if they have direct contact with it. But this result is driven by those who come into contact with the civilian aspects of the mission\; in contrast\, those who only come into contact with the military parts of the mission are less likely to support the mission. These results suggest that to garner the support of the civilians it is sent to protect\, peacekeeping missions must provide more than security.

Within these models\, when the environment is more similar across generations\, the traits that have evolved up to the previous generation are more likely to be optimal for the current generation. In equilibrium\, a greater value is placed on tradition and there is greater cultural persistence. We test this hypothesis by measuring the variability of different climatic measures across 20-year generations from 500-1900. Employing a variety of tests\, each using different samples and empirical strategies\, we find that populations with ancestors who lived in environments with more cross-generational instability place less importance in maintaining tradition today and exhibit less cultural persistence.

Please RSVP. Lunch will be served starting at 11:45am.\n\nPlease join us for a lunchtime conversation about \"White Fragility\" with Professor Alford A. Young. This lunchtime conversation is designed to prepare attendees for Robin DiAngelo's March 13th visit to the University of Michigan. From a public policy lens\, Professor Young will evaluate the impact that public policies—both current and historical—have on racial and/or ethnic inequalities and discuss how it relates to other dimensions of social life. \n\nAlford A. Young\, Jr. is the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Sociology and Afroamerican and African Studies\, with a courtesy appointment at the Ford School of Public Policy. He serves as associate director of U-M's Center for Social Solutions and faculty director for scholar engagement and leadership at Michigan's National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID). He has pursued research on low-income\, urban-based African Americans\, employees at an automobile manufacturing plant\, African American scholars and intellectuals\, and the classroom-based experiences of higher-education faculty as they pertain to diversity and multiculturalism. He employs ethnographic interviewing as his primary data collection method. His objective in research on low-income African American men\, his primary area of research\, has been to argue for a renewed cultural sociology of the African American urban poor. Young received an MA and PhD in sociology from the University of Chicago.

Lami’s album\, a lavish\, hand-colored\, extremely limited edition compilation of lithographs\, known as the Quadrille de Marie Stuart\, raises complex questions about the rhetorical powers of representation in mobilizing collective memory to affect individuals’ understanding of the present. This article argues that the album constructs how the ball should be remembered and that its production served to unify the memory of the event\, for the guests\, its exclusive recipients\, as a visual aide-mémoire of their elaborate costumes and the tableaux-vivants they enacted. \n\nWhat has eluded scholars is the level to which Berry\, a known political schemer\, oversaw the spectacle\, the audience’s experience\, and the production of its illustrated pendant. Following in the footsteps of recent historical scholarship on female figures and their contribution to crafting their public image\, I consider how the lithographic album\, as a tangible extension of Berry’s image\, displays the dexterity with which she manipulated visual and cultural materials to serve her own political agenda. Previously undiscussed letters from the artist reveal Berry’s involvement as well as the rising urgency of the political moment. Masked balls at the court were common in Restoration France\; yet the care and attention to the production of the album commemorating this one point to a larger motive\, namely the Duchesse’s political aspirations for herself and her son\, on the eve of the Revolution of 1830. \n\nTo RSVP and receive a copy of the pre-circulated paper\, please email Ani Bezirdzhyan abezirdz@umich.edu UID:73381-18210536@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73381 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,English Department,Graduate Students,History,Humanities,Interdisciplinary,Performance,Theater,Visual Arts LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3184 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200110T105344 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200309T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200309T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Understanding Cultural Persistence and Change DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe examine a determinant of cultural persistence that has emerged from a class of models in evolutionary anthropology: the similarity of the environment across generations. Within these models\, when the environment is more similar across generations\, the traits that have evolved up to the previous generation are more likely to be optimal for the current generation. In equilibrium\, a greater value is placed on tradition and there is greater cultural persistence. We test this hypothesis by measuring the variability of different climatic measures across 20-year generations from 500-1900. Employing a variety of tests\, each using different samples and empirical strategies\, we find that populations with ancestors who lived in environments with more cross-generational instability place less importance in maintaining tradition today and exhibit less cultural persistence.

Attitudes of family members\, for example\, tend to be more similar than those of a random sample of the same size. In the fields of social psychology and political science\, the historically standard explanation for these attitude distribution patterns was that social and political attitudes are (at least partially) a function of environmental factors like parental socialization and prevailing social norms. This received view is\, however\, complicated by more recent work in behavioral genetics\, which consistently and repeatedly demonstrates that certain ethical and political attitudes dealing with issues like censorship\, abortion\, capital punishment\, and immigration policy have a significant heritability coefficient\, to wit\, a substantial percentage of attitude variance in a population can be attributed to genetic variance\, independent of environmental factors. In this paper\, I argue that the genetic influence on our ethical and political attitudes is mediated by what we can agree—without relying on any first-order ethical or political claims—to be irrelevant and distorting factors that can lead moral reasoning astray. Further\, I argue that we should significantly lower our credences in ethical and political attitudes that fall within the domains of belief that involve significant genetic influence.

Interested in this question\, this lecture presents a reflection on the experiences of free and literate black men\, who were active in the press\, as well as in the political-cultural landscape of the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in the second half of the nineteenth century. Ferreira de Menezes\, Luiz Gama\, Machado de Assis\, José do Patrocinio\, Ignacio de Araújo Lima\, Arthur Carlos and Theophilo Dias de Castro are the central subjects in this narrative\, along with so many other “free men of color” who sought in different ways to conquer and maintain their spaces in the public debate about the Brazil’s paths\, while relying on the sustainability of their own individual projects. Against the grain of “ race hatred” daily practices\, they not only contributed to debates on daily\, abolitionist\, black and literary newspapers\, but also led the creation of resistance\, confrontation and dialogue tools and mechanisms.\n\nAna Flávia Magalhães Pinto is an adjunct professor in the Department of History at the University of Brasília. She received her PhD in History from the State University of Campinas\, her MA in History from the University of Brasília\, and her BA in Journalism from The University Center of Brasília. Pinto has developed research articulating knowledge in the areas of History\, Communication\, Literature and Education\, with an emphasis on political-cultural performance of black thinkers\, black press\, abolitionism and experiences of black freedom and citizenship in the slavery period and post-abolition in Brazil and elsewhere in the African Diaspora.\n\nThis lecture will take place on Monday\, March 9\, at 4:00pm in 1014 Tisch Hall.

Holding over 20% of the world’s fresh water\, the much-maligned Rust Belt could transform into the Water Belt marked by innovation in agriculture and production and welcoming to waves of climate migrants. Yet no framework of regulation\, governance\, or funding currently exists to ensure such outcomes. Instead public subsidy of extractive and polluting corporations persists. Along with lax enforcement of regulation\, there are no mechanisms to deal with agricultural runoff\, plastics\, and pharmaceuticals. How to get from here to the Water Belt? \n\nRachel Havrelock’s work shows how the necessary knowledge about water systems resides at the local level where community members struggle with particular forms of privatization\, extraction\, and pollution. Not only do stories about these contests over water illuminate global processes\, but they also chart a course forward. Reflecting on stories she has collected across the Great Lakes basin\, Havrelock will share prominent ideas about life around the remarkable freshwater seas.

Neutrinos\, with their changing flavors and tiny masses\, could provide an answer. If the neutrino is a Majorana particle\, meaning that it is its own antiparticle\, it would reveal the origin of the neutrino’s mass\, demonstrate that lepton number is not a conserved symmetry of nature\, and provide a path to leptogenesis in the early universe. To discover whether this is the case\, we must search for neutrinoless double-beta decay\, a theorized process that would occur in some nuclei. By searching for this extremely rare decay\, we can explore new physics at energy scales that only existed in the seconds following the Big Bang.\n\nDetecting this extremely rare process\, however\, requires us to build very large detectors with very low background rates. Experiments using germanium detectors\, like the Majorana Demonstrator\, which is currently running\, and LEGEND-200\, which is moving forward quickly\, are a promising strategy to explore lifetimes of up to 10^{28} years. The current generation of experiments have achieved the lowest backgrounds of any technique\, and have a clear path forward to move to the ton-scale. I’ll present recent results from the Demonstrator\, an update on LEGEND-200’s progress\, and prospects for LEGEND-1000.\n\nReaching lifetimes beyond 10^{28} years\, however\, will require new techniques and kiloton-scale detectors. NuDot is a proof-of-concept liquid scintillator experiment that will explore new techniques for isotope loading and background rejection in future detectors. I’ll discuss the progress we’ve already made in demonstrating how previously-ignored Cherenkov light signals can help us distinguish signal from background\, and the technologies we’re developing with an eye towards the coming generations of experiments.\n\n UID:72101-17939964@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72101 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200207T133249 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200309T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200309T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:On the Perils of Intrauterine Determinism: An Epidemiologic Inquiry into the 2:4 Digit Ratio DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary Speaker Series - Developmental Origins of Health & Disease: Evolutionary & Epidemiological Approaches - Presented by the Evolution and Human Adaptation Program & The Research Center for Group Dynamics UID:72468-18009373@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72468 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Talk LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200221T100220 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200309T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200309T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance & Labor Economics: PAY TRANSPARENCY AND THE GENDER GAP DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe examine the impact of public sector salary disclosure laws on university faculty salaries in Canada. The laws\, which enable public access to the salaries of individual faculty if they exceed specified thresholds\, were introduced in different provinces at different times. Using detailed administrative data covering the majority of faculty in Canada\, and an event-study research design that exploits within-province variation in exposure to the policy across institutions and academic departments\, we find robust evidence that that the laws reduced the gender pay gap between men and women by approximately 30 percent. There is suggestive evidence that higher female salaries contributed to the narrowing of the gender gap. The reduction in the gender gap is primarily in universities where faculty are unionized.

In the cytosol\, ubiquitous RNP granules include stress granules\, which form when translation initation is limited\, and P-bodies\, which are constitutive RNP granules containing mRNAs and the RNA decay machinery. Both stress granules and P-bodies contain complex proteomes and transcriptomes and their assembly/disassembly are regulated by diverse RNP remodeling complexes. \n Focusing on stress granules\, we have provided evidence that stress granule\, and presumably other RNP condensate\, assembly occurs in part through intermolecular RNA-RNA interactions. However\, based on in vitro studies\, we demonstrate that RNA condensation should be expected to be a thermodynamically favored process in cells. This argues cells must contain mechanisms to limit RNA driven condensation. We have demonstrated that abundant RNA helicase reduces RNA recruitment to RNA condensates in vitro and in cells\, as well as limiting stress granule formation. This defines a new function for abundant RNA helicases to limit thermodynamically favored intermolecular RNA-RNA interactions in cells as “RNA decondenases”\, thereby allowing proper RNP function. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRoy Parker (HHMI/Univ of Colorado Boulder) UID:65593-16621787@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/65593 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chemistry 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200225T124854 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200309T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200309T210000 SUMMARY:Well-being:National Meatball Day DESCRIPTION:South Quad will be hosting this celebration during dinner at the Halal station.

Traditional frameworks that measure the value of a therapy take a narrow approach of measuring the improvement in duration and quality of life vs the change in cost relative to an existing standard of care. While these approaches adequately capture the value of many drugs\, they have a number of shortcomings. For example\, they often underweight the value of therapies that modestly extend the life of terminal patients\, they don’t consider the context for different stakeholders\, and they ignore additional sources of value such as spillover effects and the societal benefit of treating rare diseases. These factors are especially relevant for precision therapies that treat terminal oncology. Here at BCG\, we have partnered with leading experts to develop a more holistic approach to understanding the overall economic value of a therapy. Colin Shopp\, a Consultant from our Chicago 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 tailored approach to measuring the value of a promising new precision oncology drug.\n UID:73208-18160098@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73208 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191120T153108 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200309T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200309T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Noah Reid DESCRIPTION:Toronto born Noah Reid is known mostly for his work on television\, film and stage. It wasn’t until recently that the world got a glimpse of his serious musical talent.\n\nIn 2015\, Reid was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Original Song in the feature film People Hold On. In 2017\, his soulful acoustic cover of Tina Turner’s pop hit The Best on CBC’s Schitt’s Creek cracked #3 on the iTunes Canada Charts. That directed fans all over the world to Reid’s 2016 debut solo album Songs From A Broken Chair.\n\nWith a songwriting style that touches on the singer-songwriters of the seventies and an honest\, contemporary delivery\, Noah Reid is a combination of old and new\, of polished and rusted over. A second studio album produced by Matthew Barber is underway and expected to be released in 2020.

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.

Seating is limited. Visit our project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. 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. Public programs\, classes\, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society\, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.\n \nIn her investigation of America’s courts\, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law\, drama\, and anthropology\, among others. \n \nDue to the nature of the project\, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J.

As a society we need to not only improve the management of our water resources\, we should also explore how valuable resources can be recovered from our water. This teach-in will explore the connections between our drinking water\, wastewater\, and natural water systems in order to better manage our water resources and recover valuable products. In recent years researchers have focused on recovering valuable products such as fertilizers from our waste streams in order to develop more sustainable products and conserve finite resources. We will explore this topic and many more in this teach-in. Specifically\, this program will dive in to interesting topics such as:\n--Current resource recovery opportunities such as nutrient recycling\n--New and emerging resource recovery and water reuse technologies\n--Tangible steps that you can take within your household to improve your impact on the water cycle\n\nYou can expect to learn about the engineered water cycle\, how you can reduce your food/water waste\, nutrient recycling\, and new technologies and approaches to recover valuable resources from our water and wastewater!

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:68986-17207407@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.

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.

Our ability to predict how communities of organisms will respond to such disturbances depends on being able to understand how biotic and abiotic interactions influence the survival of individual animals. This talk presents new tools and approaches to quantitatively characterize behavioral variation in biomechanical performance in the real world. This information informs the design of bio-inspired robotic models that emulate current\, extinct\, and theoretical forms and are used in robot-animal interaction experiments to probe the fundamental biomechanical principles shaping the evolution of animal movement over millions of years. By examining the biomechanics of motions in complex environments\, we are better able to predict animal response to ecosystem disturbance. In addition\, we are able to design robots capable of successful operation in real-world environments. \n\nTalia Y. Moore is an Assistant Research Scientist in the Robotics Institute at the University of Michigan. She develops tools to enable the quantitative characterization of behavioral variation in animal movement in real-world environments and applies her findings to the design of bio-inspired robots that are used to test evolutionary hypotheses. Dr. Moore is an Associate Editor for International Conference for Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics and is a member of IEEE\, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology\, and the Society for the Study of Evolution. She received a PhD in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology from Harvard University in 2016.

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. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Understanding and modeling this growth is obviously of high importance. We noticed that for several weeks\, the number of deaths in China could be fit by a power law with exponent of about 2.25\, suggesting a kind of fractal or small-world behavior going on. Traditional epidemiological models\, such as the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered models (SEIR) puts groups in compartments and use differential equations to predict the behavior\, but there is no spatial or network properties taken into account. At early times\, the growth is exponential depending upon the reproduction rate\, and for later times those models predict an s-shaped curve. The power-law result predicted a greater growth of the epidemic than many people were predicting. More recently\, the daily deaths in China have dropped off exponentially\, in fact following a model of A. Vazquez from 2006. At the same time\, the growth in the number of total deaths in other parts of the world is tracking the behavior in China\, delayed by one month. The small-world\, fractal idea suggested that this world-wide transmission was likely to take place\, and the belief that it could be contained in China was clearly short-sighted.\n\nReference: A. L.

While a great deal of insight has been gained regarding classical stoichiometric regimes\, more discoveries continue to be made about the complexities of these interactions between carbonyls and Lewis acids in catalytic systems. In particular\, the new reactivity observed in Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin metathesis demonstrates that a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between these classical Lewis pairs remains incomplete. It is our hypothesis that the application of in situ techniques will provide key insights into reactivity initiated by the interactions of Lewis pairs that are as yet unexplored. Synthetic\, spectroscopic\, kinetic\, and computational techniques will be presented which facilitate characterization of both the ground and transition state behavior of Lewis acids and carbonyl compounds. These data will be used to demonstrate the complex interplay of Lewis acid catalyst\, substrate\, and product under synthetically relevant conditions. Overall\, these rigorous mechanistic studies catalogue the factors critical to concise reaction design\, and more specifically\, detail the mechanistic features of carbonyl-olefin metathesis. \n \n \n \n \nJames Devery (Loyola University Chicago) UID:69375-17312377@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/69375 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191111T123811 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200310T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200310T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium: Intranasal oxytocin effects on human brain activity during social interactions DESCRIPTION:Oxytocin (OT) is a naturally occurring endogenous neuropeptide that is known to modulate social behavior across a wide range of animal species. We conducted a double-blind\, placebo-controlled\, pharmaco-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study in which healthy normal subjects were randomized to treatment with either 24 IU intranasal OT (INOT\; n=100) or placebo (PBO\, n=104) and imaged with fMRI as they played an interactive social decision-making task known as the iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma (PD) game with same-sex partners. INOT altered the neural response to reciprocated cooperation (a positive social interaction) within areas involved in reward and salience such as the nucleus accumbens and dorsal ACC\, and also altered the response to unreciprocated cooperation (a negative social interaction) within areas involved in salience and threat detection\, like the anterior insula and the amygdala. Furthermore\, INOT altered functional connectivity within a social behavioral neural network in response to both reciprocated and unreciprocated cooperation. These findings support the potential utility of OT to treat stress and anxiety disorders as well as disorders involving deficits in social motivation. However\, INOT effects were highly heterogeneous\, depending on sex\, OXTR genotype\, and stimulus novelty vs. familiarity. Furthermore\, effects may also differ by dose\, patient status (healthy subjects vs. patients) and between endogenous and exogenously administered OT.

This presentation will offer a case study of Hu's 1979 film \"Legend of the Mountain\,\" which combined element of the wuxia film with other genres\, including the ghost stories\, comedy\, and the travelogue. Drawing on research and first-hand interviews with the film's lead actor Shih Chun\, this talk will be divided into two parts: The first section will discuss the curious production details of the film as a pioneering example of a pan-Asian co-production and the film's curious reception\, which went from a long-overlooked minor work to be rediscovered as a \"masterpiece\" decades after its initial release. During the second half of the talk\, focus will turn to the film itself and how it was revolutionary both in terms of film form but also its political intervention.\n \nMichael Berry is Professor of Contemporary Chinese Cultural Studies and Director of the Center for Chinese Studies at UCLA at UCLA. He is the author of \"Speaking in Images: Interviews with Contemporary Chinese Filmmakers\" (2006)\, \"A History of Pain: Trauma in Modern Chinese Literature and Film\" (2008)\, \"Jia Zhangke’s Hometown Trilogy\" (2009)\, and \"Boiling the Sea: Hou Hsiao-hsien’s Memories of Shadows and Light\" (2014) and co-editor of \"Divided Lenses\" (2016) and \"Modernism Revisited\" (2016). Forthcoming books included “An Accented Cinema: Jia Zhangke on Jia Zhangke\;” and an edited collection on the 1930 Musha Incident in Taiwan.

Inside the walls\, prisoners stage their own theatrical productions\, articulating their identities and experiences for audiences carefully monitored by gatekeepers. Ashley Lucas’s forthcoming book Prison Theatre: Performance and Incarceration examines performances within prisons across the globe\, offering a uniquely international account and exploration of prison theatre. By discussing a range of performance practices tied to incarceration\, this book looks at the ways in which arts practitioners and imprisoned people use theatre as a means to build communities\, attain professional skills\, create social change\, and maintain hope.

This talk will review these intriguing phenomena and highlight their deeper connections with current aspects of space sustainability\, space traffic management\, and space situational awareness. One particularly compelling ideology is based on the judicious use of the resulting instabilities to prescribe natural Earth re-entry itineraries to remedy the space debris problem or to navigate the phase space. In this seminar\, I will review recent theoretical and numerical investigations on the orbital dynamics of resident space objects\, and show how resonances can profoundly affect the behavior of these bodies\, in both dissipative and Hamiltonian settings.\nThis work ties together observation\, theory\, and simulation\, and fosters connections between fields apparently quite different in character and emphasis. I will specifically note its cross-cutting nature and relevance to planetary science\, applied dynamical systems theory\, planned and proposed spacecraft missions\, and satellite constellation design and control.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\nAaron J. Rosengren is an Assistant Professor in the College of Engineering at the University of Arizona and Affiliate Member of the Interdisciplinary Program in Applied Mathematics\, specializing in astrodynamics-based space situational awareness. Prior to joining UA and the SSA-Arizona Initiative in 2017\, he spent one year at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece working in the Department of Physics\, as part of the European Union H2020 Project ReDSHIFT.

For example\, a 3D second-order TI has gapless 1D hinge modes and gapped 2D surface and gapped 3D bulk\, whereas a 3D first-order TI has gapless 2D surface modes. In general\, n-th order TI in d-dimensional space has gapless modes at (d-n) dimensional boundary.\n\nIn this work\, we generalize the Pfaffian formalism\, which has been playing an important role in the study of time-reversal invariant first-order topological insulators\, to 3D chiral higher-order topological insulators protected by the product of four-fold rotational symmetry C_4 and the time-reversal symmetry T. This Pfaffian description reveals a deep and fundamental link between TIs and HOTIs\, and allows important conclusions about TIs to be generalized to HOTIs. In particular\, we can generalize Fu-Kane's parity criterion for TIs to HOTIs\, and also present a general method to efficiently compute the Z_2 index of 3D chiral HOTIs without a global gauge.\n\nSpatially Coherent Lasing in an Atomically-Thin Heterostructure\n\nAtomically thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are a promising gain media for the next generation of semiconductor lasers and nanophotonics. They have advantages over the traditional III-V semiconductors because they exhibit strong light-matter interaction\, are flexible and compact\, and allow easy integration with various substrates. Utilizing these advantages\, we engineer a lasing device with a rotationally aligned WSe2-MoSe2 van der Waals heterostructure integrated with a one-dimensional (1D) silicon nitride (SiN) grating resonator. Angle-resolved micro-photoluminescence and spatial coherence measurements show signatures of lasing\, which include bright emission intensity and formation of extended spatial coherence. This work establishes 2D semiconductor heterostructures as a new type of gain medium.

However\, it should be noted that assessment and learning can exist as two distinct components\, and require a framework that would allow their integration into a single coherent system. The efficiency of such a system will depend on the extent that each component can be implemented adaptively. In this presentation\, I will discuss using cognitive diagnosis modeling as a framework for developing a personalize assessment and learning system (PALS). I will discuss what cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) are\, what their unique features are\, how they differ from other psychometric models\, and how cognitive diagnosis computerized adaptive testing can further capitalize on the advantages of CDMs and make diagnostic testing more efficient. To build the complete PALS\, an explicit instructional component that can facilitate learning is needed. I will discuss a number of important issues that need to addressed before a coherent and effective PALS can be built. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of possible future directions\, and some of the challenges and recent developments in the area.

As a powerful yet often overlooked area in research about contemporary Korean studies\, public interactions with architectural design and spatial identity play important roles in reflecting sociocultural changes and the political climate in and around South Korea. This project traces the historical significance of the district of Dongdaemun as the leading site of Korean modernity and attempts to read the diasporic sensibility of Koreans and their sense of displacement and collective memory embedded in the process of developing the cityscape.\n \nMiseong Woo is a professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at Yonsei University in South Korea. Her research interests include race\, gender\, modernity in modern drama\, the literary and visual history of Asian diaspora\, and cultural encounters between the East and West in popular culture. She published Representation of Asian Women in the West (2014) with Sam & Parkers\, which won the 2014 Korea Research Foundation Achievement Award. She received a Fulbright Scholar Award for the 2011–2012 academic year\, taught at Cornell University as a distinguished visiting professor in Korean studies in 2016\, and is the first scholar selected as the Fulbright Korea Distinguished Chair at Emory University in 2020.

Seating is limited. Visit our page for an ever-evolving list of opportunities to see the Witness Lab project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. 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. Public programs\, classes\, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society\, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.\n \nIn her investigation of America’s courts\, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law\, drama\, and anthropology\, among others. \n \nDue to the nature of the project\, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Folklorama lays claim to being the longest running and largest multicultural festival of its kind in the world\, and it is one that relies heavily on community groups more than well known performers. What can an examination of the festival tell us about Canadian national self-narratives? And is it possible to negotiate the complexities of difference and identity politics by engaging in music and dance?\n\nThe Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance.

Yet\, discrimination and violence against African-American farmers has led to our decline from 14 percent of all growers in 1920 to less than 2 percent today\, with a corresponding loss of over 14 million acres of land. Further\, Black communities suffer disproportionately from illnesses related to lack of access to fresh food and healthy natural ecosystems. Soul Fire Farm\, cofounded by author\, activist\, and farmer Leah Penniman\, is committed to ending racism and injustice in our food system. Through programs such as the Black-Indigenous Farmers Immersion\, a sliding-scale farmshare CSA\, and Youth Food Justice leadership training\, Soul Fire Farm is part of a global network of farmers working to increase farmland stewardship by people of color\, restore Afro-indigenous farming practices\, and end food apartheid. Join us to learn how you too can be part of the movement for food sovereignty and help build a food system based on justice\, dignity\, and abundance for all members of our community. \n\n--\n\nFood Literacy for All is a community-academic partnership course started in 2017.

Bruchac is an Associate Professor of Anthropology\, Coordinator of Native American and Indigenous Studies\, and Associate Faculty in the Penn Cultural Heritage Center at the University of Pennsylvania.  Her new book\, \"Savage Kin: Indigenous Informants and American Anthropologists\,\" was the winner of the 2018 Council for Museum Anthropology Book Award.\n \nCo-sponsored by the Department of American Culture\; Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\; LSA/Great Lakes Theme Semester\; Native American and Indigenous Student Interest Group\; Native American Studies Program\; Office of Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion\; Program in Science\, Technology and Society (STS)\; U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\; U-M Office of Research\; and the U-M Museum of Art.\n\n UID:73581-18263272@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73581 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Art,Culture,Diversity,Faculty,Inclusion,Museum,Native American,Research,Science,Talk,Theme Semester,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200109T095757 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200310T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200310T203000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bioethics Discussion: Public Health DESCRIPTION:A discussion on the health of our society.\n\nReadings to consider:\n1.

Such action is needed to prevent potentially catastrophic shifts in regional temperatures\, precipitation patterns\, and sea level rise. This teach-in will introduce several emerging opportunities to (1) sequester human-derived CO2 emissions and (2) directly utilize CO2 to create value-added products. Topics will include geologic sequestration of CO2\, use of CO2 to produce geothermal energy and store surplus renewable energy in subsurface reservoirs\, and direct utilization of CO2 in durable concrete infrastructure products. The presentation will include several hands-on activities to explore these processes and discuss how we can leverage such engineering solutions to slow climate change.

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.

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.

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. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

When they do notice the blessings\, however\, they disproportionately notice other people who have helped them reach their goals rather than positive personal characteristics or structural benefits. The opposite pattern emerges for barriers: people report structural barriers but rarely mention harmful interpersonal relationships. In this talk\, I will outline this phenomenon and discuss the possibility that it is due to a social norm that obliges people to pay close attention to the help they receive from others\, but not the advantages they receive from non-interpersonal life circumstances.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaura Soter:\n\nAbstract:\nNormative moral judgments - judgments about what's right and wrong\, or judgments about what we should or shouldn't do - are meant to be action-guiding. Yet\, recent work has found that people's normative judgments about what they should do don't always align with what they actually do. There are a number of possible explanations for why people might fail in the moment to act as they think they should\, including failures of affective forecasting or weakness of will. Across four studies\, we test an alternative hypothesis: that people may be reflectively aware that they won't always act in accordance with their moral judgments. Our findings show that in relational \"loyalty dilemmas\,\" there are consistent patterns of differences when people are asked what they would do\, as opposed to what they should do.

Washington. \n\nWashington will join us via livestream to discuss her book \"A Terrible Thing to Waste: Environmental Racism and Its Assault on the American Mind.\"\n\nMs. Washington adds her incisive analysis to the environmental discussion presenting an argument that IQ is a biased and flawed metric\, one that it is useful for tracking cognitive damage. She takes apart the spurious notion of intelligence as an inherited trait\, using copious data that instead point to a different cause of the reported African American-white IQ achievement gap.\n\nThe book explains that environmental racism - a confluence of racism and other institutional factors that relegate marginalized communities to living and working near sites of toxic waste\, pollution\, and insufficient sanitation services is terrible for the brain. Ms. Washington investigates heavy metals\, neurotoxins\, deficient prenatal care\, bad nutrition\, and even pathogens as chief agents influencing intelligence to explain why communities of color are disproportionately affected -- and what can be done to remedy this devastating problem.\n\nHarriet A. Washington has been the Shearing Fellow at the University of Nevada's Black Mountain Institute\, a Research Fellow in Medical Ethics at Harvard Medical School\, and a senior research scholar at the National Center for Bioethics at\nTuskegee University.

Yasmine Diaz: One Way or Another DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Los Angeles based artist Yasmine Diaz will speak about her experiences making work as an agnostic feminist of Muslim heritage in a post 9/11 era of xenophobia and anti-Muslim rhetoric. Her talk will center on a her 2017 piece\, One Way or Another (college and hand-cut watercolor paper\, 18 x 24)\n \n Yasmine navigates overlapping tensions around religion\, gender\, and third-culture identity using personal archives\, found imagery and various media on paper as well as installation. Born and raised in Chicago to parents who immigrated from the highlands of southern Yemen\, her mixed media work often reflects personal histories of the opposing cultures she was raised within. She has exhibited and performed at spaces including the Brava Theater in San Francisco\, the Torrance Art Museum\, Charlie James Gallery\, and Station Beirut. Diaz is a 2019 California Community Foundation Visual Artist Fellow with works included in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, The University of California Los Angeles\, and The Poetry Project Space in Berlin. She lives and works in Los Angeles.

Only now\, the patterns are a million times smaller and driven by the wafer fab equipment industry. The most advanced plasma etching technique in production today is called atomic layer etching (ALE) in which a single layer is removed in a cyclic manner. This talk will review the ALE ap-proach in comparison to conventional plasma etching tech-niques\, such as Reactive Ion Etching (RIE). As RIE reaches its fifth decade\, its drawbacks have become apparent. ALE offers better control by isolating steps in time and switching between the steps in a repeatable cycle. To the extent that an ALE pro-cess behaves ideally – with high ALE synergy and self-limiting behavior – the primary benefit is improved uniformity across all length scales: at the surface\, between different aspect rati-os\, and across the full wafer. Another benefit that will be high-lighted is the atomic-scale smoothness in topography of the surface left behind after etching. The underlying mechanism and benefits of plasma ALE will be described\, providing insight into the plasma science behind the ancient art of etching. Overall\, ALE is simpler to understand than conventional plasma etch processing\, and is proving to be important as we apply the art of etch at the atomic scale.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nRichard A.

Please join us! \n\nTitle: “Plasma Transport in Saturn’s Magnetosphere”\n\nAbstract: Saturn’s magnetosphere is often termed “internally driven” because the structure and dynamics are largely determined by a dominant plasma source that lies deep inside the magnetosphere (the water plumes of the moon Enceladus) and by processes driven by the planet’s rapid rotation: 1) centrifugally-driven flux-\ntube interchange that delivers inner magnetospheric plasma to the middle magnetosphere\; and 2) magnetic reconnection of stretched\, plasma-laden flux tubes\, with ultimate down-tail loss of plasmoids containing Enceladus-sourced material. There are numerous pieces of evidence supporting this paradigm but also numerous outstanding questions. In this talk we summarize recent efforts to address several aspects of global transport\, primarily relating to the interchange process: How and where is it initiated? How deeply into the inner magnetosphere can interchange penetrate? What can we learn about the evolution of interchange injections?

Further\, a successful design outcome hinges on foundational work done during the \"front-end” of design processes\, which includes problem definition\, deep needs and stakeholder assessments using design ethnography\, requirements development\, and idea generation. Research has shown that experts develop both conscious and subconscious design strategies that impact success\, and that novices often lack strategies and the ability to successfully implement them. This seminar will discuss investigations of strategies in front-end design\, ways these strategies can be translated to design and education tools\, and the role of front-end design in broadening recognition of skills that engineering includes.\n\nBIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Dr. Shanna Daly is an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering. She has a B.E. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Dayton and a Ph.D. degree in Engineering Education from Purdue University. Her research characterizes front-end design practices across the student to practitioner continuum\, uses these findings to develop tools to support design best practices\, and studies the impact of front-end design tools on design success. She focuses on divergent and convergent thinking processes\, including concept generation and development and problem space exploration\, how to foster creativity in engineering work\, and processes to understand social and cultural elements of the contexts in which engineering work occurs and integrate them into decision making. Her studies often involve both professional and educational contexts and collaborations across disciplines with scholars in engineering\, education\, industrial design\, and psychology.

The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\nThe workshop will run from February 5 to April 15\, 2020. Participants meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. There will be no meeting on March 4. \nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll UID:71150-17783453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71150 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English As A Second Language,Graduate,International,Language,Speech Language Pathology,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Workshop LOCATION:V.

That’s the question that researchers have spent the past two years investigating as part of an effort to reduce the phosphorus loading that is fueling algal blooms in Lake Erie. A research team from Old Woman Creek Reserve and the University of Toledo developed a Bayesian hierarchical modeling approach to calculate the phosphorus retention capacity of wetlands with limited datasets. \n\nIn this webinar\, the team will share some of their key findings\, management implications\, and potential for other practitioners to use their monitoring guide and statistical codes to calculate the nutrient retention capacity of their wetlands. In addition to taking audience questions\, the team will offer some ideas about how their work informs an ambitious new water quality initiative in Ohio.

It quickly became the centerpiece of an enthusiastic community-led restoration and educational project in the neighboring city of Hamtramck before it met an untimely and sudden demolition at the hands of the City of Detroit in February of 2019. This presentation recounts the archaeological investigations of the late 19th-century log cabin in the context of the city's blight removal efforts. It also uses the controversy surrounding the cabin's demolition to discuss how federal policies towards blight removal are adversely affecting the identification and preservation of poor\, working-class historic resources in post-industrial cities.

Quantum networks are also a model for distributed quantum computing. Quantum emitters featuring spin-photon interfaces and quantum memories are crucial elements in the nodes of such networks. Non-classical states of light\, such as single and entangled photons\, are also critical for novel quantum technologies. Key questions are therefore how to control the nodes of these networks and how to produce the desired photonic states. I will give and overview of the field and present our work focusing on the control of spins and the deterministic generation of highly entangled photonic states from spinful quantum emitters such as color centers and semiconductor quantum dots. \n UID:72134-17942180@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72134 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200309T121549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200311T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200311T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Designing Functional Sites in Porous Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion DESCRIPTION: Despite their high theoretical specific energy of 2\,600 Wh kg-1\, the commercialization of Li-S devices is hindered by irreversible capacity loss from the dissolution of polysulfide intermediates in the electrolyte solution. We report novel strategies to design reactive sites for polysulfide adsorption in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve capacity retention and ionic conductivity. Incorporation of redox-active moieties in the framework further enable fast charge and discharge capabilities. Identifying structure-property-function relationships in tunable molecular platforms offer new methods to advance electrochemical storage technologies. In addition\, we will present new strategies to probe the electrode-electrolyte interfaces in electrocatalysis using advanced electrochemical techniques such as in-situ vibrational spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The ubiquity of surfactants and carbon supports in catalysis warrants a closer examination on their influence on the electrode-electrolyte interface during carbon dioxide reduction. New insights on the impact of molecular additives and carbonaceous materials on product formation and Faradaic efficiency in electrocatalytic carbon conversion will be discussed. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSara Thoi (Johns Hopkins University) UID:72004-17914112@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72004 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200305T104045 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200311T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200311T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Order and the Underground: Governing the Goldfields of Madagascar DESCRIPTION:Brian Ikaika Klein is a doctoral candidate in environmental science\, policy\, and management at the University of California\, Berkeley. His research integrates the study of social and ecological conditions and processes to understand resource access and governance in extractive frontier settings across the Global South. Prevailing narratives among policymakers and in popular media consistently portray these spaces as unregulated and chaotic. \nKlein challenges these representations by documenting and analyzing the complex governance arrangements that order activities\, manage conflict\, and determine livelihoods on the extractive frontier. He presents ethnographic and historical evidence from Madagascar to elucidate the emergence\, evolution\, and endurance of governance institutions in gold mining communities on the island\, as well as to interrogate the global\, national\, and local dynamics by which these institutions are shaped. \nAt the center of his work is a commitment to producing policy-relevant research informed by interdisciplinary political-ecological analysis interested in achieving more equitable and sustainable development outcomes for smallholder resource extractors and rural communities–in Madagascar\, and across sub-Saharan Africa.\nKlein’s research has won support from the National Science Foundation\, UC Berkeley’s Center for African Studies\, and UC Berkeley’s Center for the Study of Law and Society (among other divisions on campus). His agenda for future research comprises extending this analysis to build a broader comparative project on frontier governance\; examining the consequences of Chinese state-corporate investments and interventions in Africa’s extractive resource sectors for local institutions and livelihoods\; and investigating the ways in which the growth of industries related to climate change mitigation is generating new globally-networked and locally-embedded mineral economies. He is also collaborating with U4/USAID/WWF as an expert consultant on natural resource governance and corruption in Madagascar.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nThe greatest barrier to generosity isn't that people are unwilling or unable to help\, but that people don't ask for what they need. Requests drive the giving-receiving cycle. Drawing on his new book\, All You Have To Do Is Ask\, Baker describes the four asking-giving styles\, how to assess your style\, how to overcome the obstacles to asking\, how to make effective requests\, and how to figure out who to ask. He will present several tools that individuals\, teams\, and organizations use to create a robust culture of workplace generosity. In-person attendees will have the opportunity to use the tools in real time.\n\nAbout Baker:\nWayne Baker is Robert P. Thome Professor of Business Administration and Professor of Management & Organizations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. He is also Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan and Faculty Associate at the Institute for Social Research. He currently serves as Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations.\n\nHis teaching and research focus on social capital\, social networks\, generosity\, positive organizational scholarship\, and values. His management and leadership articles appear in venues such as Harvard Business Review\, Chief Executive Magazine\, and Sloan Management Review. His latest book\, All You Have To Do Is Ask\, will be published in January 2020.\n\nHe puts his knowledge into practice as a frequent guest speaker\, management consultant\, and as an advisor and board member of Give and Take Inc.\, developers of the Givitas collaborative technology platform.\n\nPrior to joining the Michigan faculty\, he was on the faculty at the University of Chicago business school.

Please stay tuned for details.\n\n\nWilliam Lopez\, Emily Fredericks\, and Matthew Lassiter discuss Lopez's recent book\, Separated: Family and Community in the Aftermath of an Immigration Raid published by John Hopkins University Press in September 2019. This 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! Must be present to win!\n\nAbout the book:\n\nOn a Thursday in November of 2013\, Guadalupe Morales waited anxiously with her sister-in-law and their four small children. Every Latino man who drove away from their shared apartment above a small auto repair shop that day had failed to return—arrested\, one by one\, by ICE agents and local police. As the two women discussed what to do next\, a SWAT team clad in body armor and carrying assault rifles stormed the room. As Guadalupe remembers it\, \"The soldiers came in the house. They knocked down doors. They threw gas. They had guns. We were two women with small children... The kids terrified\, the kids screaming.\"\n\nIn Separated\, William D. Lopez examines the lasting damage done by this daylong act of collaborative immigration enforcement in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Exploring the chaos of enforcement through the lens of community health\, Lopez discusses deportation's rippling negative effects on families\, communities\, and individuals. Focusing on those left behind\, Lopez reveals their efforts to cope with trauma\, avoid homelessness\, handle worsening health\, and keep their families together as they attempt to deal with a deportation machine that is militarized\, traumatic\, implicitly racist\, and profoundly violent.\n\nLopez uses this single home raid to show what immigration law enforcement looks like from the perspective of the people who actually experience it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with twenty-four individuals whose lives were changed that day in 2013\, as well as field notes\, records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act\, and his own experience as an activist\, Lopez combines rigorous research with narrative storytelling. Putting faces and names to the numbers behind deportation statistics\, Separated urges readers to move beyond sound bites and consider the human experience of mixed-status communities in the small everyday towns that dot the interior of the United States.

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.

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. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Whether this art deals with personal grief\, pain\, or discrimination\; or ventures into the larger scope of oppression\, climate change\, and the political world\; engaging with these sorts of topics in-depth and in an artistic way requires some distance or reprieve. A faculty panel will share their experiences\, offer counsel\, and answer questions! Featuring SMTD Faculty Jose Casas\, Kristin Kuster and Ashley Lucas.

We hope to reschedule this event for the 2020-21 academic year. \n\nThis paper examines how political\, social\, and economic regime changes affect the lifecycles of manufacturing plants exploiting Japan’s transition from a feudal regime to a modern regime in the late nineteenth century as a natural experiment. Using plant-level data for 1902\, including the foundation year of each plant\, we explored how the experience-size profiles of plants differ before and after the regime change. Plants were found to grow much faster after the regime change and the acceleration of growth after the regime change was much greater for the plants in exporting industries\, industries intensively using steam power\, and plants adopting a corporate form. These findings suggest that access to export markets\, access to modern technologies\, and availability of the modern corporate form were the channels through which the regime change affected the experience-size profile of plants.\n\nTetsuji Okazaki is Professor of Economics at the University of Tokyo.

Organic semiconductors\, such as small molecules and polymers\, are well-suited to these future requirements\; however\, their electrical properties and environmental stability are inherently worse. Hybrid materials\, such as inorganic nanoparticles embedded within a polymer film\, can mitigate the trade-offs that exist for any single material type by combining organic and inorganic semiconductors. For example\, hybrid materials can impart multi-functionality\, flexibility\, transparency\, and sustainability to devices based on the interaction of light and matter (i.e.\, optoelectronic devices) or energy-related devices (e.g.\, solar cells\, supercapacitors\, or photo-electrochemical cells). A critically important requirement to realize the promise of hybrid materials for devices is to understand and control thin film deposition. Because hybrid materials are heterogeneous systems containing more than one component\, thin-film deposition can be complicated compared to single component films. As a result\, the co-deposition of two or more materials with different properties to synthesize a hybrid film with pre-determined functionality is a technological challenge within thin-film engineering. I will describe my research program that investigates hybrid thin film deposition using resonant infrared\, matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (RIR-MAPLE) to control structure and properties and to improve the performance of optoelectronic and energy-related devices. I will also reflect on my path to a career in academia and the lessons I have learned along the way.\n\nBio\n\nAdrienne D. Stiff-Roberts is Jeffrey N. Vinik Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University\, where she is also the Director of Graduate Studies for the University Program in Materials Science and Engineering. Her current research interests include organic and hybrid thin-film deposition by resonant-infrared matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (RIR-MAPLE)\; materials characterization of organic and hybrid thin films\; and the design\, fabrication\, and characterization of organic and hybrid optoelectronic devices\, especially infrared photodetectors\, photovoltaic solar cells\, and multi-functional sensors. Dr. Stiff-Roberts received both the B.S. degree in physics from Spelman College and the B.E.E. degree in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1999.

Please stay tuned for details.\n\n\nWilliam Lopez\, Emily Fredericks\, and Matthew Lassiter discuss Lopez's recent book\, Separated: Family and Community in the Aftermath of an Immigration Raid published by John Hopkins University Press in September 2019. This 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! Must be present to win!\n\nAbout the book:\n\nOn a Thursday in November of 2013\, Guadalupe Morales waited anxiously with her sister-in-law and their four small children. Every Latino man who drove away from their shared apartment above a small auto repair shop that day had failed to return—arrested\, one by one\, by ICE agents and local police. As the two women discussed what to do next\, a SWAT team clad in body armor and carrying assault rifles stormed the room. As Guadalupe remembers it\, \"The soldiers came in the house. They knocked down doors. They threw gas. They had guns. We were two women with small children... The kids terrified\, the kids screaming.\"\n\nIn Separated\, William D. Lopez examines the lasting damage done by this daylong act of collaborative immigration enforcement in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Exploring the chaos of enforcement through the lens of community health\, Lopez discusses deportation's rippling negative effects on families\, communities\, and individuals. Focusing on those left behind\, Lopez reveals their efforts to cope with trauma\, avoid homelessness\, handle worsening health\, and keep their families together as they attempt to deal with a deportation machine that is militarized\, traumatic\, implicitly racist\, and profoundly violent.\n\nLopez uses this single home raid to show what immigration law enforcement looks like from the perspective of the people who actually experience it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with twenty-four individuals whose lives were changed that day in 2013\, as well as field notes\, records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act\, and his own experience as an activist\, Lopez combines rigorous research with narrative storytelling. Putting faces and names to the numbers behind deportation statistics\, Separated urges readers to move beyond sound bites and consider the human experience of mixed-status communities in the small everyday towns that dot the interior of the United States.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nThe seminar will be followed by a reception in the IOE Commons (Room 1709) from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.\n\nTitle: \nTrust Considerations of Advanced Technology \n\nAbstract: \nThis talk will dig into issues of trust and transparency as they relate to intelligent machines. The construct of trust will be defined\, and prior research involving trust and transparency will be explored. As machines gain capabilities and authorization to act on behalf of humans\, humans will begin to attribute greater intentionality to their actions - but what impact does this have on human attitudes toward intelligent machines? This talk will explore the dimensions of human-autonomy teaming and will discuss the need for transparency of intent. \n\nBio:\nJoseph B.

A huge amount of problem-solving and reasoning in organic chemistry requires drawing and/or interpreting structural representations of chemical substances. The ability to interpret a given representation and go beyond the explicit image is thus one of the major skills to successfully perform in chemistry. However less is known about what information students are actually processing when they need to draw connections between a chemical representation and the chemical meaning that it is meant to convey. How do they connect perceptional “surface-level” attributes of a representation with “deep-level” implicit attributes\, what are productive resources in students reasoning? To fill this gap\, we performed several qualitative studies with undergraduate organic chemistry students to characterize students’ mechanistic reasoning and to derive instructional support. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nNicole Graulich (The Institute of Chemistry Education Justus-Liebig-Universitat Gieben) UID:72453-18009346@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72453 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T132510 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:<> CLASP Seminar Series: Dr. Lee Murray\, University of Rochester DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: we regret that this week's seminar with Dr. Murray has been canceled.

In turn\, climate change has influenced atmospheric composition through perturbations of natural processes\, leading to complex feedbacks across a range of spatial and temporal scales. Here\, I present some ongoing projects aimed at characterizing the interface between atmospheric chemistry and Earth’s climate system in the past\, present and future. First\, I explore the coupling between the primary atmospheric oxidants OH and ozone with the production of reactive nitrogen oxides (NOx) from lightning\, and the subsequent impacts on surface air quality and long-term climate. Second\, I explore how uncertainty in reactive nitrogen chemistry and hydrocarbon oxidation mechanisms in the atmosphere contribute to uncertainties in chemistry-climate feedbacks\, and ongoing efforts to evaluate these processes in global models through the ongoing NASA Atmospheric Tomography airborne mission. Lastly\, I introduce a pilot monitoring network and inverse modeling framework for methane\, the most abundant atmospheric hydrocarbon and potent greenhouse gas\, that is presently being installed to aid New York State in assessing and meeting its greenhouse-gas reduction goals.\n\nPlease join us!

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc is highly correlated with low back pain\, however\, not all disc degeneration is painful. One of the most common forms of low back pain is disc-associated low back pain in which pain originates from intervertebral disc. In disc-associated low back pain\, nerve fibers penetrate the previously aneural disc\, where they are then thought to be stimulated by the harsh catabolic environment. Repetitive stimulation of these nerve fibers can cause sensitization and chronic pain. The overarching goal of our work is to engineer biomaterials that target these two key areas of disc-associated low back pain: nerve growth and stimulation. Current clinical treatments for chronic low back pain have limited efficacy or are highly invasive. The majority of research to date focuses on regenerating a young healthy disc. We believe our approach to target nerve growth and stimulation independent of disc regeneration has the potential shift the paradigm in the treatment of low back pain.

While the practices of artists who emerged in that moment\, such as Sam Gilliam and Howardena Pindell\, have garnered increasing attention in recent years\, critical discourse has tended to either emplot them within formalist narratives that elide considerations of race and gender or to frame them in identarian frameworks that leave aside the material complexity of the artworks themselves. Copeland moves beyond this dichotomy in articulating a black feminist approach to the construction of the modern material world that considers how African American women’s vernacular strategies of making-do variously inform modernist painters’ attempts to critique both the supposed autonomy of abstraction as well as the racialized and gendered construction of the gaze in Western cultures.\n\nHuey Copeland is Interim Director of the Black Arts Initiative\, Arthur Andersen Teaching and Research Professor\, and Associate Professor of Art History at Northwestern University\, where he also enjoys affiliations with African American Studies\, Art Theory & Practice\, Critical Theory\, Gender and Sexuality Studies\, and Performance Studies. His research focuses on modern and contemporary art with an emphasis on articulations of blackness in the Western visual field. An editor of OCTOBER and a contributing editor of Artforum\, Copeland has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals as well as in numerous international exhibition catalogues and essay collections. At present\, he is at work on two complementary volumes: “In the Shadow of the Negress: Modern Art in the Transatlantic World\,” which explores the constitutive role played by fictions of black womanhood in Western art from the late 18th century to the present\, and “Touched by the Mother: On Black Men\, Artistic Practice\, and Other Feminist Horizons\, 1966–2016\,” which brings together a selection of his critical essays.

Jane Bae\nThe currently available computational power limits the utilization of direct numerical simulation (DNS) in practical engineering flow applications. In recent years\, large-eddy simulation (LES) has emerged as a viable high-fidelity tool for such flow problems\; however\, it suffers from the same computational limitations in the near-wall region. In this talk\, I will introduce a new way of modeling the wall in LES to overcome the limitation of the near-wall region. First\, the use of the slip boundary condition with transpiration for wall-modeled LES is motivated by theoretic assessment and a priori testing using DNS data. Secondly\, a dynamic slip wall model consistent with the constant stress layer in the near-wall region is presented. The dynamic slip wall model is free of any a priori specified coefficients\, unlike traditional wall models which are based on RANS models. The results show that the predictions of the mean velocity profile and turbulence intensities from the dynamic slip wall model are in good agreement with DNS and experimental data for a wide range of Reynolds numbers and grid resolutions for canonical turbulent boundary layers.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\nH. Jane Bae is a postdoctoral scholar at the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories at Caltech. She received her Ph.D. in Computational and Mathematical Engineering from Stanford University in 2018. Her main research focuses on computational fluid mechanics\, in particular on modeling and control of wall-bounded turbulence using reduced-order modeling and design and implementation of efficient solution methods.

In biochemistry\, the electrostatic potential is a dominant factor determining the preference for functional states in biomolecules such as ligand-binding or protein-protein interactions. In material science\, the function of nanoporous crystals such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks for gas storage and separation applications rely on their ability to absorb polar molecules. In electrochemistry\, the function of electrochemical cells relies on the diffusion of ions and the double-layer formation at the electrode surface. Computational modeling of these systems thereby requires an accurate description of the electrostatic interaction between the different components of these complex system. Although the ubiquitous role that long-ranged electric fields play in catalysis has been recognized\, it is seldom used as a primary design parameter in the discovery of new catalytic materials. I will present results on how electric fields have been used to computationally optimize biocatalytic performance of a synthetic enzyme\, and how they could be used as a unifying descriptor for catalytic design across a range of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. While focusing on electrostatic environmental effects may open new routes toward the rational optimization of efficient catalysts\, much more predictive capacity is required of theoretical methods to have a transformative impact in their computational design – and thus experimental relevance – when using electric field alignments in the reactive centres of complex catalytic systems. I will discuss some of these methodological advances from accurate many-body force fields under non-reactive approximations in classical molecular dynamics\, to reactive force fields to describe chemical reactions where charge flow is an essential process. \n \nTeresa Head-Gordon (University of California\, Berkeley) UID:64042-16101236@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64042 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200327T123023 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Debunking the NSA Security Clearance Process Webinar DESCRIPTION:Find out about each step of the security clearance process\, including the polygraph.

In this talk\, Purnaprajna shows how modern algebraic geometry inspired by ideas and methods of Alexander Grothendieck sheds light on the connection between different genres of music. He develops a meta geometric framework which gives raise to the so called “Metaraga system”\; a system with its own grammar and syntax. This integrates elements of Indian and Western classical music\, jazz and the blues. Moreover it gives rise to a music with no vantage point of east or west. Metaraga system’s mathematical under pinning lies in category theoretic algebraic geometry\, and Grothendieck like topologies. The dictionary that is set up is both ways\; music from math and math from music. This power point presentation will contain both audio and visual elements to illustrate some of the thoughts mentioned above UID:73390-18214931@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73390 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics,Music LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200214T113559 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200312T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Local Businesses\, Global Entrepreneurship: A Journey to Build Impact DESCRIPTION:Juan Carlos Thomas\, Director of Entrepreneurship at TechnoServe\, a nonprofit organization focused on harnessing the power of the private sector to help people lift themselves out of poverty\, will be the next WDI Global Impact Speaker.\n\n\nThomas’s talk\, “Local Businesses\, Global Entrepreneurship: A Journey to Build Impact\,” will explore effective ways to support entrepreneurs and small and growing businesses around the world.

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.

Visit our Witness Lab page for an ever-evolving list of opportunities to see the Witness Lab project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J.

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.

Plans to postpone are TBD.\n\n\nCLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media. \n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film \"Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder\" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer\, Great Lakes South. \n\nAs part of the conference\, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday\, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

Yet\, these conflated boundaries have received little attention from those developing genetic-based species delimitation methods\, potentially leading to mass over-splitting as genomic data become more widely employed. These challenges have profound implications for not only understanding the generation and dynamics of biodiversity\, but also for conserving this diversity.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will cover the foundations upon which genetic-based inference of species boundaries are built. In particular\, we will review the history that lead to a reliance on the multispecies coalescent (MSC) as the primary model for species delimitation. Despite the appeal of genome-based species discovery\, we will explain how misidentification of population structure as putative species is an emerging key issue for applications of the MSC for species delimitation\, as well as the implications of divergence of gene flow for identifying species boundaries.\n\nRead more at the website linked on this page UID:73661-18278620@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73661 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Workshop LOCATION:East Hall - 1324 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200311T171804 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cancelled: Fastest Path to Zero Carbon Emissions: Building an Exemplar for Deploying Clean Energy DESCRIPTION:Deploying clean energy is a complex multi-disciplinary task and\, to be most successful\, requires approaches that combine the best technology\, acceptable costs\, public policy approaches\, and social decisions. \n\nThe teach-in will:\n-Describe the current state of community acceptance of the deployment of renewable energy in Michigan\n-Describe the national state of the deployment of a new generation of advanced nuclear energy\n-Engage in facilitated conversations about the use of technology for the public good UID:73187-18155747@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73187 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Climate,Earth Day At 50,Energy,Engineering,Environment,Nuclear,Nuclear Engineering And Radiological Sciences,Sustainability LOCATION:Cooley Building - White Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200316T181530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T095100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T095100 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canceled - 2020 MFA Thesis Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Following guidance from University administrators and public health officials in response to COVID-19\, Stamps Gallery is closed until further notice\, and all scheduled in-person events and exhibitions have been canceled.\n__________\n\nsometimes something\, the 2020 MFA Thesis Exhibition\, will bring together culminating projects by second-year graduate students\, Sally Clegg\, Kim Karlsrud\, Erin McKenna\, and Abhishek Narula.

This includes the provision of therapeutic support in (near) real time\, as well as the provision of prompts that support the engagement of users in the mobile health application. A micro-randomized trial (MRT) is a new trial design that is useful for addressing scientific questions concerning the construction of mobile health applications of this type.  This talk describes the design and analysis of a micro-randomized trial conducted in collaboration with a local digital behavioral health company based in Ann Arbor. The purpose of the MRT was to (i) test the effectiveness of using a “push” prompt to engage users with a smartphone-based mobile health application\, and (ii) to estimate whether the effectiveness of the prompt depends on the time at which the prompt is sent\, as well as a prespecified set of user characteristics and other contextual factors. The trial’s primary outcome was binary\, namely\, whether or not the user engaged with the smartphone app over the next 24 hours. To analyze the data arising from this MRT\, we developed a new approach to estimating the proximal causal effects that could accommodate a binary outcome. We describe the design of the MRT\, the new data analysis method\, and the results.\nAn explicit goal of this talk is to provide a friendly introduction to some of the ideas underlying the design and analysis of MRTs\, as opposed to focusing on technical details of the method.\n\nThis is joint work with Susan A. Murphy\, Inbal Nahum-Shani and Niranjan Bidargarddi.

Seating is limited. Visit our project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. 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. Public programs\, classes\, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society\, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.\n \nIn her investigation of America’s courts\, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law\, drama\, and anthropology\, among others. \n \nDue to the nature of the project\, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.\n\nWitness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

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:68986-17207410@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.

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.

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.

CSEAS Lecture Series. Regime Change and Continuity in Malaysia DESCRIPTION:Lily Rahim\, Malaysia Chair of Islam in Southeast Asia and Associate Teaching Professor\, Georgetown University\n\nSince its historic May 2018 breakthrough election\, Malaysia's Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition government has experienced some erosion of public support. The presentation will analyse PH's weakening popularity within the context of its 'catch-22' policy and political conundrum. Simply put\, the promised implementation of substantive policy reform\, with respect to 'Malay rights'\, threaten to weaken PH's tenuous relations with the predominantly conservative majority Malay community - susceptible to the fear and racial displacement rhetoric of opposition politicians. At the same time\, PH's reluctance to implement substantive institutional and policy reforms have generated disillusionment within its urban\, cosmopolitan and middle-class electoral base - key to its electoral breakthrough in 2018 but increasingly wary of the governing coalition's leadership tensions.\n \n Lily Zubaidah Rahim is Associate Teaching Professor and Malaysia Chair of Islam in Southeast Asia at the Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University. She was previously a professor of government and international relations at the University of Sydney\, specializing in authoritarian governance\, democratization\, Southeast Asian Politics\, political Islam\, and ethic politics. Her books include The Singapore Dilemma: The Political and Educational Marginality of the Malay Community (Oxford University Press 1998/2001\; translated to Malay by the Malaysian National Institute for Translation)\, Singapore in the Malay World: Building and Breaching Regional Bridges (Routledge\, 2009)\, Muslim Secular Democracy (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2013)\, The Politics of Islamism: Diverging Visions and Trajectories (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2018) and The Limits of Authoritarian Governance in Singapore’s Developmental State (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2019). Her current comparative politics book project focuses on regime change and policy reform in Malaysia\, Indonesia and Tunisia.\n \n Lily has published in international journals such as Democratization\, Contemporary Politics\, Journal of Contemporary Asia\, Journal of Comparative and Comparative Politics\, Critical Asian Studies and the Australian Journal of International Affairs. Her sole-authored journal article ‘Governing Muslims in Singapore’s Secular Authoritarian State’ was short-listed for the Boyer Prize by the Australian Journal of International Affairs (AJIA). Lily is Vice-President of the Australian Association for Islamic and Muslim Studies (AAIMS) and Co-Convener of the Social Inclusion Network (SIN) at the University of Sydney. She was Convener of the multi-disciplinary ‘Religion\, State and Society’ (RSS) Network and President of the Malaysia and Singapore Society of Australia (MASSA).\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 quickly became the centerpiece of an enthusiastic community-led restoration and educational project in the neighboring city of Hamtramck before it met an untimely and sudden demolition at the hands of the City of Detroit in February of 2019. This presentation recounts the archaeological investigations of the late 19th-century log cabin in the context of the city's blight removal efforts. It also uses the controversy surrounding the cabin's demolition to discuss how federal policies towards blight removal are adversely affecting the identification and preservation of poor\, working-class historic resources in post-industrial cities.

We hope to reschedule this event in Fall 2020.\n\nIn *The Fernando Coronil Reader *(Duke University Press 2019) Venezuelan anthropologist Fernando Coronil challenges us to rethink our approaches to key contemporary epistemological\, political\, and ethical questions. Consisting of work written between 1991 and 2011\, this posthumously published collection includes Coronil's landmark essays “Beyond Occidentalism” and “The Future in Question” as well as two chapters from his unfinished book manuscript\, \"Crude Matters.\" Taken together\, the essays highlight his deep concern with the Global South\, Latin American state formation\, theories of nature\, empire\, and postcolonialism\, and anthrohistory as an intellectual and ethical approach. Presenting a cross section of Coronil's oeuvre\, this volume cements his legacy as one of the most innovative critical social thinkers of his generation.\n \nFernando Coronil served as faculty in history and anthropology at the University of Michigan from 1988 to 2008. During his time at the University of Michigan\, Professor Coronil served terms as director of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, the Department of Histoy\, and the Doctoral Program in Anthropology and History.\n \nThis event brings together editors of *The Fernando Coronil Reader* as well as scholars from the University of Michigan whose work has engaged deeply with Coronil’s work.

CSR and effective Tax Rates DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The social responsibilities of for-profit corporations have gained importance recently\, and CSR has become both a goal and a set of guidelines for various corporate activities. CSR encompasses a number of dimension\, typically including environmental impacts\, treatment of employees\, and relations to local communities. Here we consider the relationship between CSR and corporate taxes: do firms that are “good citizens” also pay higher taxes? Is it the social responsibility of firms to help pay for public services? Focusing on the percentile rank of effective tax rates\, and using random effects panel regression of a data set of publicly-traded U.S. firms that includes measures of CSR and many financial variables\, we find that the relationship between CSR and taxation is a complicated one that warrants further investigation. However\, strong corporate governance\, a typical component of CSR\, is associated with lower tax rates\, suggesting that responsibility to shareholders conflicts with broader social responsibilities.

Yet\, these conflated boundaries have received little attention from those developing genetic-based species delimitation methods\, potentially leading to mass over-splitting as genomic data become more widely employed. These challenges have profound implications for not only understanding the generation and dynamics of biodiversity\, but also for conserving this diversity.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will cover the foundations upon which genetic-based inference of species boundaries are built. In particular\, we will review the history that lead to a reliance on the multispecies coalescent (MSC) as the primary model for species delimitation. Despite the appeal of genome-based species discovery\, we will explain how misidentification of population structure as putative species is an emerging key issue for applications of the MSC for species delimitation\, as well as the implications of divergence of gene flow for identifying species boundaries.\n\nRead more at the website linked on this page UID:73661-18278622@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73661 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Bsbsigns,Workshop LOCATION:Undergraduate Science Building - 1230 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T175248 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200313T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:*CANCELLED* ConEco Seminar: Applications of the Landscape Approach for Conserving Stream Fishes from Current and Future Threats DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled.

We apologize for the inconvenience.\n\nCapitalism as we know it has gotten us this far\, but there are serious questions about how much farther it can take us. Inequality\, fractured social institutions\, and\, most importantly\, the climate crisis are all huge\, systemic challenges that are unlikely to be solved by more economic growth and preserving the status quo. To right the ship\, we need a new way to see. In this talk\, Yancey Strickler\, the cofounder and former CEO of Kickstarter\, presents a new vision for defining value and self-interest\, and a whole new frontier of work to be done defining and growing a wider spectrum of value. Building on research and ideas shared in his book “This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World\,” Strickler will make the case that the generation coming up will be the ones to lead us into the post-capitalist era where values pluralism\, rather than the monoculture of financial value\, will be the new norm for defining the health and success of organizations and society.\n\nYancey Strickler is the co-founder and former CEO of Kickstarter\, and the author of This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World (2019).

Reception and book signing to follow. \n\nThis event will be livestreamed. Check event website right before the event for viewing details.\n\nJoin us for an armchair conversation with Robin DiAngelo\, author and Affiliate Associate Professor at the University of Washington\, and Elizabeth Moje\, Dean of the University of Michigan School of Education. Dr. DiAngelo and Dean Moje will discuss themes and ideas stemming from Dr. DiAngelo's best-selling book\, \"White Fragility.\"\n\nWhite people in the U.S. live in a social environment that protects and insulates them from race-based stress. This insulated environment of racial protection builds white expectations for racial comfort while at the same time lowering the ability to tolerate racial stress. DiAngelo calls this lack of racial stamina \"white fragility.\" White fragility is a state in which even a minimal challenge to the white position becomes intolerable\, triggering a range of defensive responses. These responses function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and maintain white control. DiAngelo will provide an overview of the socialization that inculcates white fragility and provide the perspectives and skills needed to build racial stamina and develop more equitable racial practices. \n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\n\nDr. Robin DiAngelo is Affiliate Associate Professor of Education at the University of Washington. In addition\, she holds two Honorary Doctorates. She is a two-time winner of the Student’s Choice Award for Educator of the Year at the University of Washington’s School of Social Work. She has numerous publications and books. In 2011 she coined the term White Fragility in an academic article which has influenced the international dialogue on race. Her book\, White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism was released in June of 2018 and debuted on the New York Times Bestseller List. In addition to her academic work\, Dr. DiAngelo has been a consultant and trainer for over 20 years on issues of racial and social justice. \n\nFrom the moderator's bio: \n\nElizabeth Birr Moje is dean\, George Herbert Mead Collegiate Professor of Education\, and an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Literacy\, Language\, and Culture in the School of Education. Moje teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in secondary and adolescent literacy\, cultural theory\, and research methods and was awarded the Provost’s Teaching Innovation Prize with colleague\, Bob Bain\, in 2010.

Until recently\,\nmost advances in materials design for nuclear energy have been incremental – slight changes of composition here or tweaks in microstructure there. This talk will focus on research directions established at the University of Michigan to enable breakthroughs in the development of advanced nuclear materials by applying innovations in other research fields such as use of machine learning techniques. Recent results\, including automated defect detection and analysis in electron micrographs\, will be presented. The presentation will conclude with how these emerging techniques can be applied to Prof. Field’s other research directions including advanced alloy development and radiation effects to establish a new nuclear materials development workflow that expediates the development\, testing\, and deployment of novel materials for nuclear energy. \n\nBiography: Dr. Kevin Field is an Associate Professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan where his research specializes in alloy development and radiation effects in ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. His active research interests include advanced electron microscopy and scattering-based characterization techniques\, additive/advanced manufacturing for nuclear materials\, and the application of machine/deep learning techniques for advanced innovation in characterization and development of materials systems. Prof. Field moved to University of Michigan in the Fall of 2019 after nearly seven years at Oak Ridge National Laboratory where he first started as an Alvin M. Weinberg Fellow and left at the level of Staff Scientist. Prof. Field has presented and published numerous manuscripts on radiation effects in various material systems relevant for nuclear power generation including irradiated concrete performance\, deformation mechanisms in irradiated steels\, and radiation tolerance of enhanced accident tolerant fuel forms. Dr. Field received his B.S. (2007) from Michigan Technological University in Materials Science & Engineering and his M.S. (2009) and Ph.D. (2012) from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in Materials Science with a focus on segregation phenomena in ion and neutron irradiated ferrous-based alloys. Dr. Field’s work has been recognized through several avenues including receiving the prestigious Alvin M. Weinberg Fellowship from ORNL in 2013 and being awarded the UT-Battelle Award for Early Career Researcher in Science and Technology in 2018.

However\, a unified model of intonation across SALs\, balancing typological similarities and differences\, has yet to be proposed. This talk explores the most current findings and models of a range of SALs\, from both my own work and that of several others in the field\, in order to identify the common ground underlying a sample of languages of the region. The shared properties at the base of this unified model of intonation proposed for this selection of SALs include: (i) a preference for non-contrastive word-initial stress marked by low tone\, (ii) a sequence of repeating rising contours each spanning a roughly word-sized unit\, and (iii) greater flexibility within the higher-level boundary tones than within the pitch accent inventory. I argue that this bundle of features characterizes SAL intonation\, setting it apart from the intonation of other well-documented language groups due to the general lack of contrastive tone and stress in the region.\n\nIn proposing this model\, tentatively named Intonational Transcription of South Asian Languages (InTraSAL)\, I take note of important areas of crosslinguistic variation\, including (i) the complex and variable role of syllable weight and (ii) the effects of voicing on pitch accent\, as well as (iii) the phonetic alignment of what can be argued to be the same basic phonological pattern. I take these findings as an initial exploration into producing a “prosodic map” of South Asia\, much like what has been done for Romance languages and varieties of Japanese. I also consider the applicability of the same model not only across languages\, but also across speaking styles\, and propose directions for further research to expand and test the model with more data.

Plans to postpone are TBD.\n\n\nCLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media. \n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film \"Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder\" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer\, Great Lakes South. \n\nAs part of the conference\, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday\, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

Cole\, D’Angelo\, and Beyoncé infuse empowering messages into their music\, which serve as the musical backdrop to this century’s Black Lives Matter movement. Every decade\, Black artists have served up insistent messages of empowerment confronting the oppressive effects of white supremacy. These anthems have often come from hip hop\, soul\, and R&B. Rarely has it come from jazz\, a musical genre that has arguably had a closer and more complicated relationship with white audiences and spaces. However\, in 1960\, jazz drummer Max Roach and vocalist Abby Lincoln collaborated on an album We Insist: Max Roach’s Freedom Suite Now that literally and symbolically confronted historical and global racism in an unprecedented way that adopted a Pan-African approach\, spanning slavery and civil rights in the U.S. to anti-apartheid movements in South Africa. This paper will argue that We Insist is a potent focal point of black musical activism by examining the making of the album\, its reception by critics and audiences\, and the significance of the fact that Roach and Lincoln were themselves embarking on a journey of love for their people and for each other. Ultimately this paper offers an analysis that places We Insist as a comprehensive musical precursor and a prophetic call to the twenty-first century that Black Lives must matter.

FSB agents tortured the arrestees into signing confessions. This became the \"Network Case.\" On the basis of these \"confessions\,\" the Russian courts drew up convictions of years--or decades--in prison. But they were not expecting widespread public outcry in Russia or unceasing international attention.

The symposium events will take place from the 13-15 March 2020\, on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.\n\nWhen biologists think of natural history collections\, most tend to think of taxonomy and systematics\, yet many are unaware of the uses of biological collections beyond those traditional fields. These studies span the breadth of the tree of life and address broad subjects that span comparative genomics to bioengineering and climate change to historical pathogen dynamics\, among many\, many more. As stewards of one of the largest university-based biological collections in the world\, we are in an extraordinary position to leverage our holdings of biological material from the last century or more. We envision this symposium as a way to showcase the often-unrealized opportunities and non-traditional avenues of research that our collections make possible to the entire scientific community\, and emphasize some of the interdisciplinary ways in which our collections are being or could be used. We hope to foster a broader understanding and expanded use of an incomparable resource that the University of Michigan has cultivated for the past two hundred years.\n\nThe symposium will feature both established and novel uses of natural history collections across a wide range of taxonomic groups\, systems\, and time. Our goal is to create a program with contributions from all corners of ecology and evolutionary biology. The program will include two keynote talks by senior speakers and additional talks by early-career speakers.\n\nThank you!\n\nECSS 2020 Committee\nJenna Crowe-Riddell\nSonal Gupta\nHernán Lopez-Fernandez\, chair\nBenjamin Nicholas\nTeresa Pegan\nBrad Ruhfel\nCody Thompson\nTaylor West\n\nAdministrative Support\nEvent coordination: Linda Garcia & Molly Hunter\nEvent promotion: Gail Kuhnlein\nGraphic design/art: John Megahan\nPhotography: Dale Austin\n\nImage credits: \nPainted meadow grasshopper\, western rattlesnake\, burrowing owl: Eric LoPresti.

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.

Plans to postpone are TBD.\n\nCLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme\, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration\,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe\, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization\, visibility\, and media surrounding the movement of bodies\, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms\, through its various manifestations in the arts\, critical theory\, and new media.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay\, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator\, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture\, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence\, imperialism and body politics. Her films\, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\,civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film \"Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder\" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer\, Great Lakes South.\n\nAs part of the conference\, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday\, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

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.

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. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Reserve your seat now using Ticket link!!\n\nSpeaker: Clark McCall\, Citizens' Climate Lobby\n\nPart 1- Understanding what we need to do to address the problem of climate change:\n\nWe know climate change is here. We can see serious effects throughout the world already. We know we have a narrow window of time to make changes to avoid the very worst results by limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5-2.0℃. But what exactly will it take to stay within this limit? What changes have the greatest impact? Electric vehicles? Eating a vegetarian diet? Subsidies for solar? A fee on carbon? With the help of a trained facilitator using a policy simulator tool\, session attendees will have a chance to discuss different options and explore what impact they will have. Come to this session with your ideas for making an impact and leave knowing what different changes have the most impact.\n\nPart 2- How does a fee on carbon and dividend support environmental justice?\n\nExperts agree that a fee on carbon and a dividend is one of the best policies for addressing climate change. But how does an added fee affect our budgets? How can people with low income manage a carbon fee? This session will examine the economic and personal impacts of a carbon fee and dividend on both the climate and on people.
