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.

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. It is a magnificent feat of real-life storytelling—and a profound fusion of creativity and compassion. 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.

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.

With over 50 members\, they exhibit a diverse approach to painting including watercolor\, oil\, acrylic and mixed mediums. Their subject matter and technique is also quite vast. Abstraction\, realism and even photorealism is all produced by this dynamic organization. As a group they are committed to the highest standard of creative expression\, to furthering the interests and development of individual members through collective activities\, and to maintaining a tradition of promoting art education.

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.

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.

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.

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. From May 2013 to October 2015 he worked in the Composite Design and Analysis Lab of General Electric’s Global Research Center. He is also a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Materials Technical Committee\, and the vice-chair of Durability and Damage Tolerance (DaDT) Division of American Society of Composites (ASC). His primary research interests include composite mechanics\, specifically on the damage\, failure and fatigue of composite materials\, advanced manufacturing methods\, multi-scale analysis\, low velocity and high velocity impact damage\, and micro-mechanics.

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.

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.

When possible\, our weekly presentations will be available online: video presentations will be announced via email and on the Stamps website (https://stamps.umich.edu/stamps).\n\nShaka Senghor is a leading voice in criminal justice reform. 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.

These writers and actors took the old comic character of the slave cook and did something new\, in line with these plays’ general resistance to authority. This talk is illustrated by rarely-seen images of cartoon cooks contemporary with the plays\, juxtaposed with modern parallels from cookie jars to South Park’s Chef to Betye Saar’s “Liberation of Aunt Jemima\".\n\nContent warning: this talk will include discussion and display of images related to modern slavery and anti-black racism.\n\nLocation: Rackham Amphitheater (4th floor)\nNB: There are two spots for wheelchair users in the middle of the Amphitheater\, using the North Entrance.\n\nMarch 19th\, 5:30pm\nFree and open to the public\nReception to follow UID:73236-18181848@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73236 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Classical Studies,Lecture LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200311T181706 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200319T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200319T183000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Zell Visiting Writers Series: Jenny Zhang\, Fiction Reading DESCRIPTION:Jenny Zhang’s story collection\, Sour Heart (Lenny\, 2017)\, centers on immigrants who have traded their endangered lives as artists in China and Taiwan for the constant struggle of life at the poverty line in 1990s New York City. It examines the many ways that family and history can weigh us down and also lift us up. From the young woman coming to terms with her grandmother’s role in the Cultural Revolution to the daughter struggling to understand where her family ends and she begins\, to the girl discovering the power of her body to inspire and destroy\, these seven stories illuminate the complex and messy inner lives of girls struggling to define themselves.\n \nZhang is also the author of the poetry collection Dear Jenny\, We Are All Find.

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?

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.

RSVP requested online at: cew.umich.edu/events/cew-inspire-workshop-launching-your-ship\n\nIn this workshop\, Woods will share experiences in creatively tackling problems and experiencing the joys of coalition building. Participants will be encouraged to think about how they approach situations where the ship they are in seems to be stuck in a port and is not going anyplace. Stuck in racism? Stuck in sexism? Stuck in certain social classes? What do you need to make your ship sail? Will a new captain do it? Or\, should you be the “Captain of your own fate?” Do you need a new destination? Are you bored with the direction you have been going? Are you going in circles? Do you need new perspectives\, new shipmates? Have you outgrown the mundane\, xenophobic habits of those in your circle? How can you develop healthy habits to move your life and community forward? Short\, interactive activities will assist each participant in using the ship metaphor to move forward in their life.\n\nWendy Ann Woods served the citizens of Ann Arbor from 2001 to 2007 as City Councilwoman.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Despite the progress that has been made\, much of this work remains a proxy for an eventual task or application that requires a holistic view of the video\, such as objects\, actions\, attributes\, and other semantic components. In this defense\, we argue that language could deliver the required holistic representation. It plays a significant role in video understanding by allowing machines to communicate with humans and to understand our requests\, as shown in tasks such as text-to-video search engine\, voice-guided robot manipulation\, to name a few. Our language-driven video understanding focuses on two specific problems: video description and visual grounding. What marks our viewpoint different from prior literature is twofold. First\, we propose a bottom-up structured learning scheme by decomposing long video into individual procedure steps and represent each one with a description. Second\, we propose to have both explicit (i.e.\, supervised) and implicit (i.e.\, weakly-supervised and self-supervised) grounding between words and visual concepts which enables interpretable modeling of the two spaces.

Baker\, III DESCRIPTION:Due to the COVID-19 situation\, this event has been canceled. \n\nFree and open to the public. Reception to follow.\n\nJoin us for an armchair conversation between former Secretary of State James A. Baker\, III\, and Michael S. Barr\, Dean of the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. The discusison will focus on Secretary Baker's distinguished career serving in senior government positions under three United States presidents—as secretary of state\, secretary of the treasury\, and twice as White House chief of staff. The conversation will cover pivotal moments from Secretary Baker's distinguished career and his reflections on current issues of international diplomacy and domestic policy. \n\nCo-sponsors: the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation\, The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum and Library\, The Gerald R. Ford Institute at Albion College\, and the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. \n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\n\nJames A. Baker\, III\, has served in senior government positions under three United States presidents. He served as the nation's 61st secretary of state from January 1989 through August 1992 under President George H.W. Bush. During his tenure at the State Department\, Baker traveled to 90 foreign countries as the United States confronted the unprecedented challenges and opportunities of the post–Cold War era. From 1985 to 1988\, Baker served as the 67th secretary of the treasury under President Ronald Reagan\, and from 1981 to 1985\, he served as White House chief of staff to President Reagan. Baker's record of public service began in 1975 as under secretary of commerce to President Gerald R. Ford and concluded with his service as White House chief of staff and senior counselor to President Bush from August 1992 to January 1993.\n\nLong active in American presidential politics\, Baker also led presidential campaigns for Presidents Ford\, Reagan\, and Bush over the course of five consecutive presidential elections from 1976 to 1992.\n\nA native Houstonian\, Baker graduated from Princeton University in 1952. After two years of active duty as a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps\, he entered The University of Texas School of Law at Austin. He received his J.D. with honors in 1957 and practiced law with the Houston firm of Andrews and Kurth from 1957 to 1975. Baker’s memoir — “Work Hard\, Study . . . and Keep Out of Politics! Adventures and Lessons from an Unexpected Public Life” — was published in October 2006.

Reinterpreting Violence in Twentieth-Century Spain: A Comparative Perspective DESCRIPTION:The twentieth century in Spain was exceptionally eventful. Many Spaniards were born during a monarchy\, lived through two dictatorships\, a republic\, and a civil war\, and died in a democracy. In this lecture\, Professor Casanova will reflect on the main historiographical currents that have guided his research in the last three decades: social history and change\, with special emphasis on civil wars and revolutions\; comparative historical sociology\; and collective violence in the 20th century.\n \nJulián Casanova is professor of contemporary history at the University of Zaragoza and visiting professor at the Central European University. He has authored and co-authored important books on the history of Spain\, the Spanish Civil War\, and Franco’s Spain which were published\, in English\, by Routledge\, Cambridge University Press\, and I.B. Tauris. He is currently completing a new book about collective violence in twentieth-century Europe\, to be published in April 2020. In addition to his scholarship\, Casanova is a frequent contributor to the Spanish \"El País\,\" and serves as a historical consultant in the television and film industry\, both in documentaries and TV series and films.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to cesmichigan@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Many medications for diabetes lose their glycemic control effectiveness over time and patient compliance to these medications is a major challenge. Glycemic control is a vital continuous process and is innately regulated by the endocrine and autonomic nervous systems. There is an opportunity for developing an implantable and automated treatment for diabetic patients by accurately detecting and altering neural activity in autonomic nerves. The renal and vagus nerves contribute in glycemic control and are potential targets for this proposed treatment. This dissertation investigated stimulation of renal nerves for glycemic control\, assembled an implantation procedure for neural interface arrays designed for autonomic nerves\, and demonstrated high-fidelity physiological signals in the vagus nerve of rats.\n\nStimulation of renal nerves at kilohertz frequency (33 kHz) showed a notable average increase in urine glucose excretion (+24.5%). In contrast\, low frequency (5 Hz) stimulation of renal nerves showed a decrease in glucose excretion (−40.4%). However\, these responses may be associated with urine flow rate.\n\nKilohertz frequency stimulation (50 kHz) of renal nerves in diabetic rats showed a significant average decrease (-168.4%) in blood glucose concentration rate\, and an increase (+18.9%) in the overall average area under the curve for urine glucose concentration\, with respect to values before stimulation.\n\nAn innovative procedure was assembled for the chronic implantation of novel intraneural MIcroneedle Nerve Arrays (MINAs) in rat vagus nerves. Two array attachment approaches (fibrin sealant and rose-bengal bonding) were investigated to secure non-wired MINAs in rat vagus nerves. The fibrin sealant approach was unsuccessful in securing the MINA-nerve interface for 4- and 8-week implant durations. The rose-bengal coated MINAs were in close proximity to axons (≤ 50 μm) in 75% of 1-week and 14% of 6-week implants with no significant harm to the implanted nerves or the overall health of the rats.\n\nUsing Carbon Fiber Microelectrode Arrays (CFMAs)\, physiological neural activity was recorded on 51% of inserted functional carbon fibers in rat vagus nerves\, and 1-2 neural clusters were sorted on each carbon fiber with activity. The mean peak-to-peak amplitudes of the sorted clusters were 15.1-91.7 µV with SNR of 2.0-7.0. Propagation of vagal signals were detected in the afferent direction at conduction velocities of 0.7-1.0 m/sec\, and efferent signals at 0.7-8.8 m/sec\, which are within the conduction velocity range of myelinated and unmyelinated vagus fibers. Furthermore\, changes in vagal nerve activity were monitored in breathing and blood glucose modulated conditions.\n\nOverall\, this dissertation investigated modulation of neural activity for glycemic control\, assembled a new chronic implantation procedure for nerve interface arrays\, and monitored physiological signaling in an autonomic nerve. Future work is needed to fully understand the physiological neural signaling\, and evaluate the long-term tissue reactivity and recording integrity of implanted electrodes in autonomic nerves. This work supports the potential development of an alternative implantable treatment modality for diabetic patients by modulating and monitoring neural activity in autonomic nerves.\n\nDate: Tuesday\, March 24\, 2020\nTime: 10:00 AM\nLocation: North Campus Research Complex (NCRC)\, B10-G64\nChair: Dr. Tim M.

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.

Such cases show that dynamically interchangeable\, individually unreliable components can produce effective and reliable outcomes at the group level. The goal of engineering systems that work in such a way has the promise of producing powerful systems with advantages like robustness to failures of individual elements and flexibility in adapting to unknown conditions and unexpected events. At the same time\, meeting this goal requires overcoming challenges not only of accommodating unpredictability and limitations of individual agents\, but also of designing low-level behaviors that guarantee a particular high-level outcome.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss both natural and artificial systems that perform collective construction\, a task where independent agents jointly build large-scale structures. I will first present a robotic system in which a user can specify a precise target structure as an input\, and independent climbing robots follow simple rules that provably guarantee the correct completion of that structure. Key principles that make engineering such a system possible include using the environment as a tool for coordinating effort and facilitating mechanical tasks\, and creating regularities that constrain the space of possible trajectories. Next I will give an overview of our experimental work with mound-building termites\, identifying cues that individual workers use to help direct their actions and coordinate colony activity. These studies point to the importance of factors including active excavation\, surface geometry\, and humidity\, but\, surprisingly\, show no role for the putative cement pheromone that has been central to the traditional understanding for six decades. The robot and insect studies complement one another\, each providing new tools and productive directions for ongoing work in the other.

To this day\, the absent presence of the tenth Panchen Lama looms large in those regions\, where Tibetans lament the loss of his advocacy and voice amidst intensifying state-led development pressures. She takes up Uradyn Bulag's critique to reject the positivist\, textualist\, and statist premises of \"oral history\" in favor of a linguistic anthropological approach to narrative as a multimodal and dialogic process of (dis)embodying selves and others in spaces and times. Professor Makley asks\, in the context of intensifying surveillance and central state-led censorship\, can our Tibetan interlocutors' awkward silences and earnest affirmations\, the un- or under-said of their stories about the tenth Panchen Lama\, be taken as a politics of refusal that\, in the telling\, itself works to re-constitute his fugitive presence\, and by proxy that of a Tibetan sociality and future currently being erased?\n \nCharlene Makley is Professor of Anthropology at Reed College in Portland\, Oregon. Her work has explored the history and cultural politics of state-building\, state-led development and Buddhist revival among Tibetans in China's restive frontier zone (SE Qinghai and SW Gansu provinces) since 1992. Her analyses draw especially on methodologies from linguistic and economic anthropology\, gender and media studies\, and studies of religion and ritual that unpack the semiotic and pragmatic specificities of intersubjective communication\, exchange\, personhood and value. Her first book\, \"The Violence of Liberation: Gender and Tibetan Buddhist Revival in Post-Mao China\,\" was published by University of California Press in 2007. Her second book\, \"The Battle for Fortune: State-Led Development\, Personhood and Power among Tibetans in China\,\" published in 2018 by Cornell University Press and the Weatherhead East Asia Institute at Columbia University\, is an ethnography of state-local relations in the historically Tibetan region of Rebgong (SE Qinghai province) in the wake of China's Great Open the West campaign and during the 2008 military crackdown on Tibetan unrest. The book brings anthropological theories of states\, development and personhood into dialogue with recent interdisciplinary debates about the very nature of human subjectivity\, agency\, and relations with nonhuman others (including deities).\n \nFor more information about her research projects\, publications\, courses\, and media archives\, visit her website: http://academic.reed.edu/anthro/makley/index.html\, or her Academia.edu page: https://reed.academia.edu/CharleneMakley.\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.

Reversible alternative mating tactics are one such type of plasticity that allow individuals to optimize reproduction through selecting one of multiple behavioral options within an overarching set of rules. As social context is one of the most dynamic facets of the environment an animal experiences\, we hypothesize that social cues could be relevant environmental triggers for adopting or switching mating tactics. We monitored three populations of socially monogamous prairie voles in semi-natural field enclosures to investigate whether males adaptively alter their behavior using social information regarding availability and risk of extra-pair mating opportunities. We used a passive monitoring system to record spatial and temporal co-occurrence\, which can be used in social network analyses to identify patterns of association between individuals. I will discuss my preliminary findings and future directions to better address questions concerning possible influences on mating tactics in prairie voles.

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.

Since its very purpose is to highlight the commonality of the three religions\, the term is always used in the plural. For medieval thinkers in the Islamicate world\, however\, the Abrahamic model of religion was radically different from the contemporary one.\n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

Alive with the voices and experiences of ordinary Russians and elites alike\, Sam Greene and Graeme Robertson craft a compellingly original account of contemporary Russian politics. Telling the story of Putin’s rule through pivotal episodes such as the aftermath of the \"For Fair Elections\" protests\, the annexation of Crimea\, and the War in Eastern Ukraine\, Greene and Robertson draw on interviews\, surveys\, social media data\, and leaked documents to reveal how hard Putin has to work to maintain broad popular support\, while exposing the changing tactics that the Kremlin has used to bolster his popularity.

From SARS to Coronavirus\, warnings have been issued to make the public aware of a possible epidemic. However\, no public health warnings have ever been issued regarding the Gun Violence that is ravaging America. Gun Violence has reached epidemic proportions as 109 lives a day were claimed in 2017 alone. What can we do to address this concern as a public health issue? What roles can research and education play in helping to curb the violence? Join us as we discuss the ways we can reframe the Gun debate in America.\n\nProgram:\n\n6:00 - 6:30 pm\nCheck-in and hors d'oeuvres\n\n6:30 - 8:00 pm\nPanel Discussion UID:72639-18035584@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/72639 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:detroit center,politics,Public Health LOCATION:Detroit Center - Ann Arbor Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200317T181622 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200324T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200324T200000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"To Impossible and Beyond: Are the new plant based burgers too good to be true” DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: All remaining Food Literacy for All sessions will take place virtually starting on Tuesday\, March 17.

It will be rescheduled at a later date. ***\n\nTaking its cue from John Melish’s polemical 1814 title\, The Sine Qua Non: a Map of the United States—which ambitiously claimed his map to be indispensable to the point that without it “there is nothing”—this lecture explores the way in which two national crises—the War of 1812 and the Panic of 1819—changed the map industry in the United States and the very design of American maps. Using the career of John Melish as its narrative thread\, the talk delves into the politics\, economics\, and optics of American cartography between 1810 and 1820. Tapping source materials that range from newspapers and account books\, to showrooms and eye-popping map designs\, it examines the roots of nineteenth-century American map production.\n\nWhat started out as local rivalries between mapmakers during the War of 1812\, quickly made headlines in the news (and in the courts) when cartographers not only challenged existing business models and the way in which maps were consumed\, but the very look of maps. The fallout was profound: as established mapmakers\, like Samuel Lewis or Abraham Bradley\, were quickly eclipsed by a new cohort of ambitious cartographers\, it was upstarts like Melish—a total novice in all things cartographic—who not only managed to launch a national brand\, but generated maps that would influence the nation’s education and public sphere in new and spectacular ways.\n\nMartin Brückner serves as the Interim Director of the University of Delaware’s Winterthur Program in American Material Culture\, as the Co-Director of the Center for Material Culture Studies (CMCS)\, and as professor in the English department at UD. He earned his M.A. from the Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität Mainz in American Studies and Cultural Geography in his native Germany\, and his Ph.D. in English and American Literature from Brandeis University in the United States.\n\nA Michigan Map Society sponsored lecture presented in collaboration with the Stephen S.

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.

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.

With over 50 members\, they exhibit a diverse approach to painting including watercolor\, oil\, acrylic and mixed mediums. Their subject matter and technique is also quite vast. Abstraction\, realism and even photorealism is all produced by this dynamic organization. As a group they are committed to the highest standard of creative expression\, to furthering the interests and development of individual members through collective activities\, and to maintaining a tradition of promoting art education.

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.

Click the link below to register.\n\nhttps://fusfoundation.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Hj_R2DMOT8SlOAp0WRLV3A\n\nOftentimes when we think of focused ultrasound\, we imagine using it to heat and kill tissue. Unlike thermal ablation\, histotripsy uses focused ultrasound to mechanically disrupt the target tissue without heating. Histotripsy turns the tissue into liquid-appearing acellular debris – which is absorbed by the body over one to two months – resulting in effective tissue removal.\n\nHistotripsy has been shown to stimulate a powerful immune response in cancer treatment studies. In the treatment of neurological diseases\, transcranial histotripsy can produce well-confined focal treatment in a wide range of locations and volumes in the brain\, offering the potential to increase the treatment envelope while decreasing treatment time. \n\nPlease register to join us at 10:00 AM Eastern on Wednesday\, March 25\, when Zhen Xu\, PhD\, will discuss the basic mechanism\, instrumentation\, bioeffects\, and applications of histotripsy. She will also cover the latest preclinical and clinical trial results of developing histotripsy for the treatment of cancer and neurological diseases.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nZhen Xu\, PhD\, is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan and a primary inventor and pioneer in histotripsy.\n\nShe has received many notable awards\, including:\nIEEE Ultrasonics\, Ferroelectrics\, and Frequency Control Society Outstanding Paper Award (2006)\nAmerican Heart Association Outstanding Research in Pediatric Cardiology (2010)\nNational Institutes of Health (NIH) New Investigator Award at the First National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) Edward C.

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.

Epic Proportions: Translating Poland’s National Epic for the 21st Century DESCRIPTION:This talk will offer a practitioner’s reflections on what it means to translate an epic poem in the twenty-first century. What can epic poems of the past mean to us today\, and how specifically is that meaning transmuted in the crossing of linguistic\, cultural\, and temporal borders? Using the experience of translating Adam Mickiewicz’s 1834 Polish-language epic narrative poem \"Pan Tadeusz\" as both starting point and finish line\, Johnston will consider such underconceptualized aspects of translation as imagined and actual readership\; the role of aesthetic pleasure in the reading experience\; and translation as trespass.\n \nBill Johnston translates from Polish\, working in a wide range of genres and historical periods. His awards include the PEN Translation Prize and the Best Translated Book Award\, both for Wiesław Myśliwski’s novel \"Stone Upon Stone\" (2012)\; the Found in Translation Prize for Tomasz Różycki’s mock-epic poem \"Twelve Stations\" (2016)\; the National Translation Award for Adam Mickiewicz’s epic in verse \"Pan Tadeusz\" (2019)\; fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the National Endowment for the Humanities\; and\, for his overall contributions to promoting Polish literature and culture\, the Transatlantyk Prize (2014) and the Officer’s Cross of the Order of Merit (2012). He teaches literary translation at Indiana University.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to crees@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

On average\, how much of a given applicant's past would you consider valuable to know when deciding whether to hire this person or not? Our decisions in life are often based on information we gather from the past\, but individuals vary in how far they look back—otherwise known as “past depth”—when making decisions. We propose that the extent of past depth people prioritize depends on the harshness and unpredictability of their environment. Across two studies\, we found that people who grew up in unpredictable environments looked less into the past when making various decisions. Interestingly\, this effect was driven by people from resource-rich backgrounds. We discuss possible reasons for this pattern along with evidence for proximate mechanisms\, including impulsivity and sense of control.

Tourists are increasingly traveling for food\, letting where they eat determine how and where they travel. As a result\, for cities and countries looking to promote themselves\, culinary tourism has become an essential and powerful branding element. But can this kind of travel be about more than simply food? \n\nThis session will explore how Culinary Backstreets\, a leading provider of food tours that operates in a dozen different cities around the world\, uses food-oriented travel to promote cross-cultural communication and sustainable tourism – and\, ultimately\, more impactful experiences.\n\nYigal Schleifer is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Culinary Backstreets. Created in 2012\, Culinary Backstreets covers the local and traditional food scene and offers immersive small group culinary walks in a dozen cities around the world. Between 2002 and 2010\, Yigal was based in Istanbul\, where he worked as a correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor and the German Press Agency (dpa). While in Istanbul he also co-founded Istanbul Eats (istanbuleats.com)\, an award-winning blog about Istanbul’s local food scene\, and co-wrote a guidebook of the same name. He also launched \"Istanbul Calling\,\" a blog about Turkish foreign and domestic affairs.\n\nYigal’s work has also appeared in the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Foreign Policy\, Ha’aretz\, the Times (London) and several other publications.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.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.
