Immersing us in its characters’ customs and beliefs\, Ixcanul chronicles with unblinking realism\, a disappearing tradition and a disappearing people.Maria\, a 17-year-old Mayan girl\, lives and works with her parents on a coffee plantation in the foothills of an active volcano in Guatemala.An arranged marriage awaits her: her parents have promised her to Ignacio\, the plantation overseer. But Maria doesn’t sit back and accept her destiny.Pepe\, a young coffee cutter who plans to migrate to the USA becomes her possible way out. Maria seduces Pepe in order to run away with him\, but after promises and clandestine meetings\, Pepe takes off\, leaving her pregnant\, alone and in disgrace. There’s no time to lose for Maria’s mother\, who thinks abortion is the only solution. Yet despite her mother’s ancestral knowledge\, the baby remains\, “destined to live.”But destiny has more in store for Maria: a snakebite forces them to leave immediately in search of a hospital. The modern world Maria has so dreamt about will save her life\, but at what price… Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

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:68986-17207412@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.

If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel\, MAP\, or other another class)\, the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session. \n\nThe cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595\, however\, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:\n\nSunday\, March 15 (noon - 4:30 pm\, Ross R-0420)\nSunday\, March 29 (noon - 4:30 pm\, Ross R-0420)\nSunday\, April 5 (noon - 4:30 pm\, Ross R-0420)\n\nThe certification exam\, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for April 26\, 2020 (11:00 am) at the Ross School of Business\, R-0320. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate). \n\nOver the last two years\, all students who have taken the exam have passed!\n\nProject Management is a powerful skillset to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!\n\nREGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:\nhttp://myumi.ch/dO5Nl\n\nNOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.\n\nHOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event\, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.\n\nWhat is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation\, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management\, is similar to the exam-oriented\, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many\, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C\, B\, and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.\n\nFor more information\,\nVisit tauber.umich.edu or call 734-647-1333\nConnect via email to Diana Crossley dianak@umich.edu UID:73563-18261071@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73563 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Business,Chemistry,Economics,Education,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Entrepreneurship,Environment,Film,Graduate,Graduate School,immigration,Industrial and Operations Engineering,Information and Technology,Integrative Systems,Interdisciplinary,International,Japanese Studies,Materials Science,Mechanical Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Multidisciplinary Design,Natural Sciences,Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences,Pre Med,Pre-Health,Pre-Law,Psychology,Public Health,Public Policy,Study Abroad LOCATION:Ross School of Business CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191216T121633 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200315T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200315T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reflections: An Ordinary Day DESCRIPTION:UMMA’s second exhibition of Inuit art derived from the Power Family’s generous promised gift to the Museum in 2018 explores the relationship between the artist and the representation of everyday experiences. 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.

Although a rising public health concern as well (Kaltiala-Heino et al.\, 2016)\, less research investigates adolescents’ experiences of gender-based harassment in poor\, urban neighborhoods. Using data from 416 urban\, low-income Latino/a adolescents (53% female\; Mage = 15.5)\, this study examined the relations between community violence exposure (CVE)\, gender-based harassment\, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms\, and the moderating role of parent-child cohesion. Findings revealed that greater exposure to both CVE and gender-based harassment was associated with greater PTSD symptoms. Notably\, the effect of gender-based harassment on PTSD symptoms was far greater than the effect of community violence. Additionally\, the association between gender-based harassment and PTSD symptoms was exacerbated when parent-child cohesion was high\, compared to when it was low or average. Findings highlight the importance of examining gender-based harassment when studying violence in neighborhoods to fully capture urban adolescents' experiences in their communities.\n\nJessica Montoro\n\nTitle:\nLatinx Adolescents Facing Multiple Daily Stressors and the Protective Role of Familismo\n\nAbstract: \nFamilism\, or familismo\, is a highly endorsed Latinx cultural value that encompasses using family members as attitudinal and behavioral exemplars\, turning to family members as sources of support\, and prioritizing the family’s well-being over the individual’s (Stein et al.\, 2014). Although several studies have examined whether familismo protects youth from one type of stressor at a time (e.g. community violence exposure\, discrimination\, substance abuse)\, few scholars have compared the differential effects of both general and cultural stressors on Latinx youth’s psychological functioning (Ayón et al.\, 2010\; Stein et al.\, 2012). This study examined the potentially protective effects of familismo among Latinx adolescents facing a myriad of stressors\, both cultural and general. Survey data for this study were drawn from a sample of 224 low-income\, Latinx 9th graders (age M = 14.5) attending 3 high schools in the Northeastern United States. When both cultural and general stressors were accounted for\, greater material need was associated with increased depressive symptoms and a less positive future orientation. Moreover\, familismo endorsement protected adolescents from depressive symptoms linked to material hardship. Results suggest that cultural stressors may be less distressing to Latinx adolescents compared to general stressors\, like financial hardship\, and familismo is an important cultural value that may help Latinx adolescents navigate various types of stressors.

In this talk\, I will show an analysis of sign locations in 776 signs from 16 antonym pairs across 27 sign languages in the Spread the Sign online dictionary to examine metaphorical mappings of emotional valence (positive vs. negative). The study makes use of both an automatic (Openpose) and a manual analysis of sign location and movement direction to investigate cross-linguistic patterns of spatial valence contrasts. In accordance with the hypothesis\, positive valence concepts are more often associated with upward movements than their negative counterparts\, pointing to a systematic pattern for vertical valence contrasts – a known metaphor across languages – iconically mapped onto physical sign articulation. However\, the same pattern does not hold for relative sign heights\, such that positive valence concepts are generally articulated higher than negative valence concepts. Thus\, it seems the dynamic contrast in movement is the key property\, rather than plain height. Interestingly\, there is also a difference in the distribution of movements along the sagittal axis\, such that outward movement is more often associated with positive than negative valence\, a finding that warrants further cross-linguistic research on spatial metaphors.

Acquisition of adaptive amino acid mutations during evolution is often kinetically or thermodynamically destabilizing to proteins. Chaperones from the proteostasis machinery can rescue these destabilizing mutations when they occur in endogenous client proteins. By combining new methods for chemical perturbation of proteostasis machinery with evolutionary biology techniques\, we discovered that this phenomenon has profound impact on the ability of RNA viruses to adapt to environmental and immune system pressures. In particular\, we show that influenza hijacks host chaperones to address folding defects that viral proteins acquire as they evolve to escape the host’s innate and adaptive immune systems. The dependence of viruses on their host’s protein folding network makes them highly vulnerable to immune suppression when folding assistance is limited. Host chaperones\, therefore\, play a central role in facilitating viral adaptation at the host–pathogen interface\, a finding with potentially far-reaching implications for viral host-switching and drug/antibody resistance development. Currently\, we are investigating how these types of phenomena impact the evolution of other disease-relevant genes\, including oncogenes. \n \n \nMatthew Shoulders (MIT) UID:71649-17853449@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71649 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200116T102712 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200316T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200316T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Prophet as a ‘Sacred Spring' DESCRIPTION:Along with the Prophet’s relics\, verbal icons of Muhammad known as hilyes count among the most popular forms of devotional art during the late Ottoman period. While manuscript paintings and compositions mounted on wooden boards have been the subject of scholarly inquiry\, an otherwise unknown type of hilye production involves the insertion of verbal icons into glass bottles. Today\, three such “hilye bottles” are held in the Topkapı Palace Library in Istanbul\, where they remain unstudied and unpublished. This talk aims to present these newly uncovered artworks and explore their possible meanings and functions\, among them their acting as a new kind of prophetic pharmacon during the late nineteenth century\, at which time Muhammad was concretized and ‘imbibed’ as the ultimate elixir vitae.

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

The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic\, spiritual\, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center\, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, Candy and Michael Barasch\, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, and the Institute for the Humanities.

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

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.

Professor Ding compares two *extreme *paths out of liberalizing reforms that took place in late-Qing China and 19th-century Germany (Prussia). Despite their under-appreciated similarities\, the failure of reforms in Qing and Prussia unfolded in dramatically different ways: popular revolution and regime overthrow in China in 1911\, and reactionary victory in Germany in the late 19th century. Why?\n \nIza Ding is an Assistant Professor in Political Science at the University of Pittsburgh. Her research interests include environmental politics\, Chinese politics\, and political regimes. Her book \"The Performative State: Public Opinion\, Political Pageantry\, and Environmental Governance in China\" is under contract at Cornell University Press.

This “blue carbon” service can be used to inform and incentivize wetland restoration\; however\, the science behind blue carbon and the role of carbon finance in support of coastal restoration and conservation are still emerging.\n\nOver the past 12 years\, the National Estuarine Research Reserve System and its partners have been filling key information gaps and fostering collaborations to advance understanding and application of blue carbon for the management of coastal wetlands. Recent projects are helping to quantify the carbon storage potential of coastal wetlands\, predict greenhouse gas fluxes\, and assess the market feasibility of using carbon offsets to support wetland restoration. \n\nIn this webinar\, panelists representing four regions across the United States will share lessons learned from their work leading blue carbon projects\, and offer ideas for advancing the use of blue carbon for coastal wetland management.

Synthesizing such multi-component nanoparticles requires simultaneous control over size\, shape\, composition\, and structure\, as well as interfaces and spatial arrangements. We have been developing two complementary strategies for synthesizing multi-component nanoparticles. The first approach involves heterogeneous seeded growth\, where interfaces and asymmetry are introduced by sequentially growing new nanoparticles off of the surfaces of existing nanoparticles. Complex hybrid nanoparticles of a growing number of materials\, configurations\, and morphologies can now be synthesized. The second approach involves sequential partial cation exchange reactions\, where interfaces and asymmetry are introduced by compositional modifications that are made within an existing nanoparticle. A growing library of complex heterostructured metal sulfide nanoparticles can now be rationally designed and then readily synthesized. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRaymond Schaak (The Pennsylvania State University) UID:71650-17853450@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71650 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200316T101542 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200317T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200317T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CANCELLED NII E Prime Workshop: Counterbalancing\; the Feedback Display Object\; Slide States\; E-Merge and E-Data Aid DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled.\n\nThe E-Prime workshop is designed for users with different levels of experience\, with the first day assuming that the user is completely new to E-Prime\, and the last day assuming that the user has already used E-Prime\, and wants to learn how to adapt it to an fMRI experiment.\n\nEach day will build upon what was learned in the previous session\, but there is no requirement to attend all of them\; for example\, a more experienced user may choose to attend only the last day.

Ethnic Bias in Judicial Decision-making: Evidence from the Kenyan Appellate Courts DESCRIPTION:Do judicial outcomes depend on judicial identity? Research on the determinants of judicial behavior have largely focused on the experience of advanced democracies\, most notably the U.S. Considerably less attention has been paid to questions of judicial identity and performance in emerging democracies. This paper addresses this gap by turning to Kenya\, a multiethnic society that has recently undergone a massive reform of the judiciary aimed at reducing corruption and bias and improving access to justice. We specifically examine whether ethnic bias plays a role in judicial outcomes by focusing on decisions made by the Kenyan High Court. Using an original web-scraped dataset of over 15\,000 criminal appeals from 2003-2017 and for offenses ranging from petty theft to murder\, we exploit the conditional random assignment of judges to criminal appeals to estimate the effect of judicial ethnicity on appeal outcomes. We find that judges are more likely to favor coethnic appellants or respondents by 3-4% points in comparison to non-coethnics. We also show that the coethnic bias becomes stronger in cases decided after the 2007 Kenyan election violence\, during which inter-ethnic violence resulted in more than 1000 fatalities and hundreds of thousands displaced. Our findings contribute to recent debates on the determinants of equitable justice in developing contexts.\n \nFiona Shen-Bayh is an assistant professor of Government at William & Mary. She was previously a postdoctoral fellow at the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and earned her PhD in political science at the University of California\, Berkeley. Her research examines the role that law and courts play in strategies of autocratic survival. Her book project examines when and why autocrats use courts to repress and the ramifications of such strategies on the development of rule of law and judicial power. Drawing on cases from sub-Saharan Africa\, she utilizes a mixed-methods approach that combines case studies\, statistical modeling\, and computational text analysis.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Clements\, the Clements Library is a treasure house of American history. It collects\, preserves\, and makes available primary sources about the Americas\, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century Americana. Drawing upon all four divisions of materials – books\, manuscripts\, maps and graphics – this display presents a small sampling of reproductions of the internationally significant holdings at the Clements and illustrates some topical strengths of the collections. Selections include handsome original artwork\, compelling manuscripts\, and printed resources with geographical connections spanning from the Caribbean to the Great Lakes. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Rogel Cancer Center Entrance Alcove\, Level 2.\n1500 E.

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

Bentz\n\nCommittee:\nAssistant Professor Dimitra Panagou (Chair)\nProfessor Ella M. Atkins (Member)\nProfessor Ilya V. Kolmanovsky (Member)\nAssistant Professor Ram Vasudevan (Cognate Member)\n\nPresentation Info:\nMarch 18\, 2020\n10:00 AM\n1044 FXB (McDivitt Conference Room)\n\nThe past twenty years have seen rapid improvements in the performance of small unmanned aerial vehicles as well as the continued miniaturization of low-cost sensors. The intersection of these technologies has given rise to a renaissance of control and decision-making developments geared towards mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs). One such development\, dynamic coverage control\, enables MWSNs to rapidly explore and gather information from uncertain environments. This defense will overview contributions to dynamic coverage in environments containing information decay\, stochastic intruders\, and power-constrained vehicles.\n\nThe extension of coverage to collaborative networks of humans and aerial/space robots shall also be presented. The author considers a human wearing an augmented reality (AR) device while completing multiple interdependent tasks that are time-sensitive and spatially separated. The problem of coverage is here coupled to that of human intent inference. An aerial robot shares the environment and uses machine learning in order to determine both the locations of tasks as well as their temporal context. This enables the streaming of real time task images that are beyond the human’s field of view to their AR display. In such a way\, the human can instantaneously cover a greater volume of the environment than is naturally possible.

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.

Her case demonstrates how the legal status of enslaved persons was affected by the redefinitions of jurisdictions and by the forced or voluntary crossings between political units. It sheds light on the circulation and uses of the Free Womb law (1813) in Argentina and Uruguay and traces legal experts’ debates over its meaning. And it reveals the knowledge enslaved people had of those abolitionist norms and how they used them to resist forced relocations\, attempt favorable migrations\, or achieve full freedom. The article reflects on the impact of independence on enslaved persons’ lives\, the gendered bias of the abolitionist process\, and the\ncentral yet untold uses of antislavery rhetoric in the national narratives.\n\nThe article will be circulated in advance of the event\; please contact Elizabeth Collins (elizabac@umich.edu) to obtain a copy.\n\nMagdalena Candioti is Associate Researcher of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Research (CONICET) at the Instituto de Historia Argentina y Americana “Dr Emilio Ravignani” and Associate Professor in the Department of Humanities and Sciences\, Universidad Nacional del Litoral\, Argentina. Candioti’s doctoral research focused on the political history of justice in the nineteenth-century Río de la Plata\, resulting in the book Un maldito derecho: leyes\, jueces y derecho en la Buenos Aires republicana\, 1810–1830 (Buenos Aires\, Didot). She is currently working on a book on gradual abolition in the Río de la Plata (1810-1860) called El tiempo de los libertos. Esclavitud y abolición en el Río de la Plata. Candioti was a visiting fellow in ILAS-Columbia University\, NYC (2010-2011)\, and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History (MPIeR)\, Frankfurt\, Germany (2014). In 2014\, she was awarded a scholarship by the Slicher van Bath DeJong Foundation\, CEDLA (Holland) to conduct comparative research on slavery in Santa Fe and Buenos Aires. Currently\, she is a Fulbright fellow at the Afro-Latin American Research Institute at Harvard University. \n\nÁngela Pérez-Villa is an Assistant Professor of History and Gender and Women’s Studies at Western Michigan University.

Warm dense matter (WDM) is of particular interest since it “exists in the lower-temperature portion of the high energy density (HED) regime\, under conditions where the assumptions of both condensed-matter theory and ideal-plasma theory break down\, and where quantum mechanics\, particle correlations\, and electric forces are all important.” [FESAC 2009]. Interiors of giant planets\, brown dwarfs\, and neutron star envelopes are all examples of WDM. A wide variety of theoretical methods have been developed and are in routine use for studying warm dense matter. This includes density functional theory\, time-dependent density functional theory\, and quantum kinetic theory. Recently\, there has been a resurgence in interest in using a “simpler” approach to investigating WDM based on quantum hydrodynamics. Quantum Hydrodynamics (QHD) has a long and interesting history\, dating back to the first developments by Madelung and Bohm. In this talk\, we discuss the historical and recent developments in QHD as applied to quantum many-body systems relevant to HED regimes. Recent work involving adding a QHD capability to the radiation hydrodynamics code MIRANDA will be discussed with applications to the electron gas.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nFrank Graziani received a BS in physics from Santa Clara U.\, and a PhD in physics from UCLA. He was a postdoctoral fellow at U. Colorado and U. Minnesota working in cosmology and particle physics\; and worked with NASA on exoplanet dynamics and star formation. Dr. Graziani joined Lawrence Livermore National Lab. in 1989 where he works in radiation transport and plasma physics. He has held many leadership positions at LLNL\, including code project lead\, group leader\, V&V Leader\, PI for LDRD-Strategic Initiatives\, lead for the National Boost Initiative and Assoc. Division Leader for computational physics. He now directs the High Energy Density Sciences Center. He has won four DOE Defense Program Awards of Excellence\, the LLNL Director’s S&T Award and is a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff. His research interests include the micro-physics of dense plasmas and HED education. Dr. Graziani is editor of two books on computational methods and a book on WDM physics.

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:71150-17783454@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.

Drawing on extensive archival research in the United States and Italy\, Giorgio Bertellini’s work shows how their popularity\, both political and erotic\, largely depended on the efforts of public opinion managers\, including publicists\, journalists\, and even ambassadors. Beyond the democratic celebrations of the Jazz Age\, the promotion of their charismatic masculinity through spectacle and press coverage inaugurated the now-familiar convergence of popular celebrity and political authority.

Sherman has spent 30 years in global development advocating for women in war-torn and transitional countries such as Iraq\, Afghanistan\, Bosnia\, Congo\, Nigeria\, Rwanda\, South Sudan\, Kosovo\, and the former Soviet Union. She began writing Brick by Brick during the year she spent living in Rwanda with her three sons to oversee the construction of a first-of-its-kind women’s opportunity center. The strength of these women helped Karen find her own way--through conflict zones and confrontations with corrupt officials to a renewed commitment to her family.\n\n From the speaker's bio:\n\nKaren Sherman currently serves as President of the Akilah Institute\, Rwanda’s only women’s college\, leading its strategy\, growth\, and partnerships. Prior to joining Akilah\, Sherman was a senior executive at Women for Women International\, an organization that helps women survivors of war to rebuild their lives. Sherman also served as the Executive Vice President at Counterpart International\, an international nonprofit development organization that partners with local organizations to build inclusive\, sustainable communities in which their people thrive. Sherman has been featured on BBC\, CNBC Africa\, Al Jazeera English\, and Voice of America.

Haidostian Annual Distinguished Lecture | David Ohannessian and the Armenian Ceramics of Jerusalem DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, and due to unforeseen circumstances\, this event has been cancelled.\n\nIn 1919\, David Ohannessian founded the art of Armenian ceramics in Jerusalem\, where his work and that of his followers is now celebrated as a local treasure. Born in an isolated Anatolian mountain village\, Ohannessian mastered a centuries-old art form in Kütahya\, witnessed the rise of violent nationalism in the waning years of the Ottoman Empire\, endured arrest and deportation in the Armenian Genocide\, founded a new tradition in Jerusalem under the British Mandate\, and spent his final years\, uprooted once again\, in Cairo and Beirut.\n \nMs. Moughalian will detail the lineage of her grandfather David Ohannessian’s ceramic tradition and document the critical roles his deportation and his own agency played in its transfer—aspects of the story obscured in the art historical narrative. She will speak about the process of coming to terms with her family’s past\, the ways in which that served as an impetus to excavate and reconstruct her grandfather’s history through archival research\, and the importance of preserving the stories of peoples displaced through migration.\n \nSato Moughalian is the author of Feast of Ashes: The Life and Art of David Ohannessian (Redwood Press/Stanford University Press\, 2019). She is also an award-winning flutist in New York City and Artistic Director of Perspectives Ensemble\, founded in 1993 at Columbia University to explore and contextualize works of composers and visual artists. She serves as principal flutist of the American Modern Ensemble and Gotham Chamber Opera\; guest flutist with groups including Imani Winds\, American Ballet Theatre\, American Symphony Orchestras\, and the Orquestra Sinfonico do Estado São Paulo\, Brazil. She can be heard on more than thirty chamber music recordings for Sony Classics\, BIS\, Naxos\, as well as on YouTube\, Spotify\, and other major music platforms. Since 2007\, Ms. Moughalian has traveled to Turkey\, England\, Israel\, Palestine\, and France to uncover her grandfather’s traces\, has published articles\, and gives talks on the genesis of Jerusalem's Armenian ceramic art.\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.

In many ways\, they could have continued creating joyful\, booty-shaking songs and cut-to-heart folk-rock ballads that lift up their transcendent live shows—and mining new energetic material from the place where folk music\, funk\, and soul meet. But the band’s newest album\, \"Is It You\, Is It Me\,\" is something different entirely. Produced by Sam Kassirer [Lake Street Dive\, Josh Ritter] and engineered by Brian Joseph [Bon Iver\, Sufjan Stevens]\, it represents the latest stage in a band that never stops evolving and refuses to stand still. The album tackles uneasy topics—often where the political feels personal\, especially in the defiant \"Get Rid of You\,\" which was inspired by the student activists who emerged from the tragic Parkland High School shooting in Florida. The ominous driving brass groove of \"Enemy\" hones in on a painful generational split between a daughter and her parents who may have voted in a tyrant\, and have become strangers to her. This yearning search for common ground pervades the record as a whole.

Maria seduces Pepe in order to run away with him\, but after promises and clandestine meetings\, Pepe takes off\, leaving her pregnant\, alone and in disgrace.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

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

These systems need to make complex decisions onboard\; mathematical optimization is a powerful paradigm for approaching these problems. In particular\, Model Predictive Control (MPC)\, a powerful optimization-based methodology for controlling constrained systems\, is an important enabler for autonomy. However\, solving optimization problems reliably\, in real-time\, using limited onboard computing resources\, is a difficult undertaking. \n\nThis dissertation addresses the development\, implementation\, and validation of several numerical methods for solving optimal control problems (OCPs) in real-time. First\, I present FBstab\, a novel quadratic programming algorithm with strong robustness properties that is easy to warmstart and can exploit the structure of optimal control problems. Second\, I introduce Time-distributed Optimization (TDO)\, a unifying framework for studying the system theoretic consequences of computation limits\, which I use to show that\, in some situations\, it is possible to recover the stability and robustness properties of optimal MPC despite limited resources. Finally\, I illustrate the applicability of these methods in the real-world through a diesel engine control example.

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.

A major challenge to its disruption is the fact that human trafficking is a complex system interwoven with other illegal and legal networks\, both cyber and physical. Efforts to disrupt human trafficking must understand these complexities and the ways in which a disruption to one portion of the network affects other network components. As such\, industrial and systems engineering models are uniquely positioned to address the challenges facing anti-human trafficking efforts. This presentation will discuss ongoing interdisciplinary anti-human trafficking efforts focusing on prevention\, network disruption\, and survivor empowerment. Specifically\, we will discuss 1) the adaptions to current network interdiction models that are necessary for adequately representing human trafficking contexts and 2) a budget-constrained optimization model that maximizes the societal value of locating additional shelters for human trafficking survivors.\n\nBio: \nKayse Lee Maass is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and leads the Operations Research and Social Justice lab at Northeastern University. She also currently holds a research appointment with the Information and Decision Engineering Program at Mayo Clinic and is the co-founder of the Trafficking Research for Action Collaborative. Dr. Maass’s research focuses on the application of operations research methodology to social justice\, access\, and equity issues within human trafficking\, mental health\, housing\, and supply chain contexts. Her work is supported by multiple National Science Foundation grants\, centers interdisciplinary survivor-informed expertise\, and has been used to inform policy and operational decisions at the local\, national\, and international levels.\n\nDr. Maass earned a PhD in Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) from the University of Michigan and completed her postdoctoral studies in the Department of Health Sciences Research at the Mayo Clinic.

While concepts like the Anthropocene scale environmental violence up to the planetary level—treating the chemical pollutant and the human body as the same everywhere—this talk takes a non-universalizing approach to chemical violence and its relations to land and bodies. Focusing on the history of Canada's Chemical Valley and the world’s oldest running oil refinery\, this talk asks how the specificity of chemical exposures can be understood in relation to colonialism as well as Anishinabek and Haudenosaunee obligations to land on the lower Great Lakes. In so doing\, it makes the case for the need to rethink the assumptions of universalism and liberal humanism that undergird conventional environmental understandings.\n\nMichelle Murphy is professor of history and women and gender studies at the University of Toronto\, Canada Research Chair of Science and Technology Studies and Environmental Data Justice\, and Director of the Technoscience Research Unit. Her current research looks at chemical pollution and environmental data in Canada's Chemical Valley\, with a focus on the world's oldest running oil refinery which sits on the land of Aamjiwnaang First Nation. Murphy's most recent book is The Economization of Life (Duke University Press). She is Métis from Winnipeg.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

DESCRIPTION:Paul Davidson \nAssistant Research Scientist \nAerospace Engineering \nUniversity of Michigan\n\nA review of future ideas for commercial aviation points towards four kinds of aircraft designs: high aspect ratio wing (HARW)\, blended body\, Urban Air Mobility (UAM)\, and supersonic vehicles. From a structural perspective\, these aircraft designs necessitate the use of advanced composites and manufacturing methods. Robotic systems like Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) technology for laying down composite material\, offers one such manufacturing method\, to address the future aviation needs. Even with advancements made in AFP technology\, there are issues still plaguing composite manufacturing\, namely imperfections. Imperfections refer to deviation from design intent and have ramifications on the performance of the structure. The identification of imperfections and subsequent rework/reject decision consumes about 20% of the total production time and is inconsistent. These inconsistencies in inspection and manufacturing are indirectly accounted for in a design\, by increasing safety factors\, thereby increasing the weight and cost of a structure.\nIn this talk\, an overview of the challenges posed in the manufacturing of composite structures\, as well as a framework to study the effect of manufacturing imperfections on material performance\, will be presented. An experimental-computational framework that utilizes a small number of controlled defect coupon tests to develop a validated high-fidelity finite element model will be described. The framework utilizes Kriging regression\, Support Vector Classification\, and analysis using the Monte Carlo method to determine the risk of defects on the composites. To conclude\, I will outline current research problems and opportunities for cross-collaboration between researchers in the areas of structures\, materials\, NDI\, robotics\, and data sciences.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Davidson is an Assistant Research Scientist in Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He received his MS and PhD degrees from the University of Michigan. From May 2016 to August 2018 he was a Post Doctoral Research Associate in the Composite Structures Lab of the Aero& Astro Department at the University of Washington\, Seattle.

This response is dependent on both the surface topography and the electrochemical activity of the substrate. Consequently\, using an array of operational modes\, a wide variety of substrates and experimental systems can be characterized. The strength of SECM lies in its ability to quantify material flux from a surface with a high spatial and temporal resolution. It has been used in a variety of applications fields. \nWe will first describe the fundamentals of SECM\, including the required instrumentation and the principles of the most frequently used operational modes. Following this basic understanding of SECM principles\, we then move towards a comprehensive summary of the critical parameters for any SECM experiment. More specifically\, we will discuss in detail redox mediators\, probes\, and solvent systems that are used in SECM experiments. Finally\, we will discuss our recent applications of SECM with an emphasis on our work in the last five years related to material characterisation\, corrosion and batteries. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJanine Mauzeroll (McGill University) UID:64849-16462988@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/64849 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T181712 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200319T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200319T180000 SUMMARY:Other:Witness Lab Simulation: Community High School Mock Trial DESCRIPTION:This class interaction with the Witness Lab project is open to the public for observation. Seating is limited. 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. 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.

Shaw Lecture DESCRIPTION:The 2020 Shaw Lecture has been postponed until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.\n\nExploring her identity as an immigrant Muslim woman on the front lines of civil rights and liberties in Michigan\, Rana Elmir will examine the well-organized Islamophobia industry and the relentless attacks on Muslim women who face unique challenges borne of both a presumption of guilt\, as well as the additional presumption of victimhood. Muslim women’s status as both villains and victims not only drives discrimination\, harassment and hate crimes\, but promotes cynical policy proposals designed to “save” Muslim women that are actually rooted in anti-Muslim bias. \n\nRana Elmir is the deputy director of the ACLU of Michigan and has devoted her career to storytelling\, action and activism. As part of the senior management team\, she works in conjunction with the ACLU’s legal\, legislative and development departments to increase understanding and appreciation of the Bill of Rights. Rana lectures often on anti-Muslim bias\, the importance of storytelling\, free speech and the intersection of race\, faith\, and gender. The Washington Post has published two op-eds written by Rana: “Stop asking me to condemn terrorists just because I’m Muslim” and “How Muslim women bear the brunt of Islamophobia.” Prior to her role as deputy director\, Rana held the position of communications director for the ACLU of Michigan. Rana is a graduate of Wayne State University’s Journalism School and the Journalism Institute for Minorities.\n\nThe Vivian R. Shaw Lecture is presented biennially by the Women's Studies Department and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Established in 1997 by Ellen S. Agress (UM 1968)\, to honor the memory of her mother\, this lecture addresses \"real-world issues\" related to women and gender.

His memoir\, Writing My Wrongs: Life\, Death\, and Redemption in an American Prison\, was released in March 2016 and debuted on The New York Times Best Seller list as well as The Washington Post Best Seller list. Writing My Wrongs chronicles Senghor’s personal experience with the criminal justice system after being sent to prison at age 19 on second-degree murder charges. An unforgettable tale of forgiveness and second chances\, Senghor’s book reminds us that our worst deeds don’t define who we are or what we can contribute to the world. Senghor’s story has inspired thousands and serves as a compelling testament to the power of hope\, compassion\, and unconditional love.\n\nSenghor is the recipient of numerous awards\, including the 2016 EBONY Power 100 list and the 2016 NAACP Great Expectations Award. Senghor was also a 2014 TED Prize finalist for The Atonement Project (a program that aims to promote healing and understanding between victims of violence and violent offenders)\, is a former MIT Media Lab Director’s Fellow\, and is a current fellow in the inaugural class of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Community Leadership Network. He shares his story of redemption around the world through his company\, Shaka Senghor Inc.\, dedicated to shifting societal narratives through storytelling with deep social impact.\n\nSupported by the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan\, presenting the 25th Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners\, on view at the Duderstadt Center Gallery March 18–April 1\, 2020.

After learning that the villa’s owners are planning to sell the estate\, José seeks any solution that might keep his six-year-old daughter from growing up in Caracas’ crime-sodden slums. Might that fabled treasure supposedly hidden in La Soledad’s walls offer José’s family a chance at a better life?Jorge Thielen Armand’s feature debut carves fiction from reality: La Soledad was once his family’s home\; this story is true\, acted out by the people who lived it. La Soledad looks beyond the headlines and gives a voice to those affected by contemporary Venezuela’s inner turmoil.

Clements\, the Clements Library is a treasure house of American history. It collects\, preserves\, and makes available primary sources about the Americas\, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century Americana. Drawing upon all four divisions of materials – books\, manuscripts\, maps and graphics – this display presents a small sampling of reproductions of the internationally significant holdings at the Clements and illustrates some topical strengths of the collections.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

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

These questions have philosophical bite and political stakes. Indeed\, they always have. But recent work in a range of disciplines asks us to go deeper. What if “we humans” are more fiction than fact? If we can’t assume the stability of the human across time and place\, what happens to debates about human nature? Humanistic approaches including actor-network theory\, posthuman criticism\, and multispecies ethnographies challenge the idea of an autonomous human nature\, while scientific studies of organ development\, neuroendocrinology\, and the microbiome are revealing how much nature there is inside of us. Human Conditions explores these questions through a braided history of the human and environmental sciences.\n\nAll events take place in 1014 Tisch Hall unless otherwise noted.

Communities denied of the “right to have rights” are engaged in fights to reclaim their lands\, their place in the world\, and often their very right to exist. Yet this fight implicates us all as we resist crisscrossing vectors of injustice from our different relations to precarity and (dis)placement. Drawing upon activist research in solidarity with communities fighting labels of “illegal immigrant” and state-sponsored crisis of citizenship in Assam (Northeast India)\, this talk will grapple with multiple dimensions of structural violence\, from its colonial underpinnings to ongoing peoples’ resistance against it. Anchored in decolonial\, women of Color\, and transnational feminist perspectives\, this participatory action research project documents social suffering in disenfranchised communities and explores creative and culturally meaningful pathways for decolonial resistance. Centering defiant voices of these communities-in-struggle\, the talk will illustrate the need to rethink dominant conceptualizations of citizenship\, migration\, and belonging\; in doing so\, troubling hegemonic ideas of “inclusion” tethered to nation state membership as well as illuminating possibilities for alternative collective imaginaries.

For low-dimensional systems\, models can be fitted to time series data using Monte Carlo particle filter methods. As dimension increases\, for example when analyzing epidemics among a collection of spatially coupled populations\, particle filter methods rapidly degenerate. We show that many independent Monte Carlo calculations\, each of which does not attempt to solve the filtering problem\, can be combined to give a global filtering solution with favorable theoretical scaling properties under a weak coupling condition. The independent Monte Carlo calculations are called islands\, and the operation carried out on each island is called adapted simulation\, so the complete algorithm is called an adapted simulation island filter. We demonstrate this methodology and some related algorithms on a model for measles transmission within and between cities. The COVID-19 situation will also be discussed.\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed and is accessible at \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/252293050 \nProblems?

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:68986-17207416@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.

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.

Maintaining users' loyalty and motivating them to be actively involved in monetization activities are some of the most critical challenges for UGC platforms' sustainable development. To deal with these challenges\, our research aims to investigate user engagement behaviors and the underlying mechanisms behind these behaviors in two different contexts\, an asynchronous UGC platform and a synchronous live streaming service. By collaborating with a large online community (Qiubai) and a popular live streaming platform (Remix) in China\, we combine a unique panel data analysis method on detailed user-level activity data with large-scale field experiments. Specifically\, we investigate the possibility of using nudges and digital badges to encourage user engagement in UGC platforms by examining the impact of extrinsic factors of UI on user behaviors. We capture and simulate the dynamics of user engagement state using a Hidden Markov model and Monte Carlo Layered Bayesian model and fit the data of users' engagement behavior under the social network structure using the Fixed Effect Poisson model. In our live streaming context\, we use variance analysis and linear panel data regression methods to analyze users' paying (tipping) behavior through manipulating audience size\, tipping amount and develop a panel vector autoregression (PVAR) model to examine the role of emotion in interactive and dynamic social settings. Our findings can help UGC communities better understand user engagement behaviors\, and thus provide theoretical and managerial implications for effective UGC marketing strategies to enhance users' loyalty and stimulate their active online engagement.\n\nBio:\nDr. Xingyu (Celine) Chen received her Ph.D. degree in Systems and Engineering Management from Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore\, in 2013.

At UM\, in addition to each unit’s intellectual and disciplinary agendas\, our Tribal engagements profoundly influence other core functions of the university: from undergraduate recruitment to donor and foundation relationships. Based on more than 15 years of relationship-building\, Michener has developed UM Matthaei-Nichols as a key partner in broadening and refocusing plant- and environmental justice-centered research relationships with Michigan’s Tribal partners. The ways forward include deepening engagement with the research divisions at RMC. By mutual agreement with Tribal partners\, little of this work has been discussed in public venues until recently. Today’s talk will focus on specific Tribally-engaged research activities at the Matthaei-Nichols\, their immediate objectives\, and the anticipated impacts for all partners.

Adults with ADHD experience poorer resistance to external task-irrelevant distraction (Forster and Lavie\, 2016) as well as to internal task-irrelevant distraction\, or mind-wandering (Franklin et al.\, 2017). Past work in the lab has determined a visual search task that displays robust performance differences between adults with and without ADHD due to singleton distractors. In the work I will discuss\, I have employed both eye-tracking and mind-wandering methods during this visual search task to evaluate how external and internal distraction affect task performance in adults with and without ADHD.\n\nLauren Grant\n\nTitle:\nOutliers Among Us: How to Identify and Deal with Extreme Data Points in ECoG\n\nAbstract:\nOutliers in experimental data can result in false positives (Type I errors) or false negatives (Type II errors) that dramatically change a researcher’s conclusions. Given the adverse effects of publishing such distorted conclusions (e.g.\, contributing to the replication crisis)\, many researchers try to identify and remove outliers before conducting their main statistical analyses. However\, there are a large number of outlier removal methods in the literature\, and it remains unclear which ones are most effective. Along these lines\, my recent work with reaction time (RT) data suggests that employing Sn – a robust estimator of scale – minimizes both Type I and Type II errors in subsequent data analyses\, relative to several alternative methods. However\, it is unclear whether Sn outperforms competing outlier removal methods for other data types. To test this hypothesis\, I conducted a series of simulations in the context of a typical ECoG experiment. Interestingly\, the median absolute deviation (MAD) – rather than Sn – was a highly effective method for dealing with extreme data points. Such findings reveal that there is no “one shoe fits all” solution to the problem of removing outliers. Rather\, the most effective method varies with the nature of the data itself.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio.

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.

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.

The film's topic relates to another ongoing and contentious negotiation between the two governments\, concerning compensation for the enslaved Korean women forced to serve as “comfort women” for Japanese soldiers during World War II. The subject of the film\, human rights activist\, Kim Bok Dong\, died in January 2019\, at the age of 93\, after a 27-year-battle to get Japan to acknowledge its wartime actions. Although exact numbers are hard to document\, it’s estimated that as many as 200\,000 Korean women were forced into sexual servitude during the war\, an enslavement that resulted in physical and psychological trauma. Many women died. Kim\, who grew up in what she once described as a “tight knit family\,” said she was taken away by the Japanese military at the age of 14\, ostensibly to work in a factory. Instead\, she said that she was forced to become a sex slave.” –JOAN MACDONALD\, Forbes\n\nCheck out IndieWire’s full review here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/joanmacdonald/2019/08/13/my-name-is-kim-bok-dong-shares-story-of-korean-activist-who-asked-japan-to-apologize/#12ef248927cf\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. On this tour\, explore the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan. \n\nSaturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance.

Hailing from the golden countryside just north of California's Bay Area\, they make music that delves deeply into themes of the human experience: hopeful love\, honest self-reflection\, and pursuits of social justice. Their latest album\, \"American Dream\,\" crystallizes these ideas in acoustic amber\, encapsulating a beautiful new direction for their evolving sound. Originally formed in Santa Barbara in 2010\, Rainbow Girls have spread their musical wings both internationally and domestically\, from busking on the streets of Europe and playing pubs and theaters in the UK\, to house concerts\, festivals\, and shows in the US. Rainbow Girls have also gained recognition on NPR's Tiny Desk concert series and KQED radio's \"The California Report.\" UID:72014-17914153@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72014 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T181550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200321T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Masters Recital: Jooae Cheon\, piano DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM: Beethoven - Piano Sonata in A Major\, op. 2\, no. 2\; Brahms - Piano Sonata in F-sharp Minor\, op. 2\, no. 2\; Prokofiev - Piano Sonata in B-flat Major\, op. 83\, no. 7 UID:73831-18333020@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73831 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music,North campus LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Stamps Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T110545 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200321T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200321T230000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Wiz (CANCELLED) DESCRIPTION:Full refunds will be issued via original payment method.\nThis “super soul” 1975 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical retells L.
