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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sewell Jr. Distinguished University Professor of History\, U-M.\n\nWhat do ordinary Russians think of Putin? Who are his supporters? And why might their support now be faltering? 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. Unearthing the ambitions\, emotions\, and divisions that fuel Russian politics\, this book illuminates the crossroads to which Putin has led his country and shows why his rule is more fragile than it appears.\n\nSam Greene is reader in Russian politics and director of the Russia Institute at King's College London. His research focuses on the relationships between citizens and the state in Russia\, and in societies experiencing social\, economic and political transformation more broadly. His first book\, \"Moscow in Movement: Power and Opposition in Putin's Russia\,\" was published by Stanford University Press in 2014. Sam also serves as associate fellow in the Russian and Eurasian Programme of the International Institute for Security Studies and a visiting professor at the UK Defence Academy.\n\nGraeme Robertson is professor of political science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and director of the Center for Slavic\, Eurasian and East European Studies.

Graeme is the author of \"Revolution and Reform in Ukraine\,\" published by PONARS Eurasia (with Silviya Nitsova and Grigore Pop-Eleches) and \"The Politics of Protest in Hybrid Regimes: Managing Dissent in Post-Communist Russia\,\" published by Cambridge University Press. He has published articles in many academic journals including the American Political Science Review\, the American Journal of Political Science\, The Journal of Politics and the British Journal of Political Science\, as well as contributing regularly to the media on Russia and Ukraine. Graeme currently serves as the Associate Editor for Comparative Politics for the American Journal of Political Science.\n \nNatalia Forrat is a WCED Postdoctoral Fellow who studies state-society relations and authoritarianism. Her book project \"Solidarity Authoritarianism: State-Society Relations and the Political Regime in Russia\" develops a theory of an authoritarian regime based on the blend of group solidarity and the state.

Natalia received her PhD in sociology from Northwestern University in 2017.

The perpetrators range from lone-wolf digital stalkers to synchronized armies of online mercenaries set in motion by political actors. They have turned social media platforms into battlefields filled with verbal weaponry meant to intimidate and silence journalists. The threats toward female journalists are particularly vicious and dangerous. A recent study by the International Women Media Foundation found that online harassment has prompted many women journalists to consider leaving the profession.\n\nWhat can be done to track and counter the hate?\n\nWallace House Presents a conversation with Rana Ayyub\, award-winning investigative journalist based in Mumbai\, Elodie Vialle\, a Knight-Wallace Fellow and authority on internet harassment and attacks against female journalists and Jason Reich\, Vice President of Corporate Security for The New York Times Company.

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.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

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.

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.

Several will focus on aging and old age\, some on grief and loss\, some on childhood or the middle years. Each month there will be group discussion of the selected memoir followed by a short reflective writing experience related to the issues raised by the memoir. This is not a memoir-writing class. \nIt’s an opportunity to use other women’s reflections on their lives to examine our own.

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. Nagy New Investigator Symposium (2011)\nThe Federic Lizzi Early Career Award from The International Society of Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) (2015)\nFellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (2019)\nDr. Xu is currently an associate editor for three notable journals: IEEE Transactions on Ultrasound\, Ferroelectrics\, and Frequency Control (UFFC)\; Frontiers in Bioengineering\; and BME Frontiers.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207420@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

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

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

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.

While some writers explicitly linked radical eating to radical thinking\, many otherwise revolutionary journals and newspapers were more likely to look upon growing enthusiasm for vegetarianism as a threat to continuity in traditional Jewish cooking. Jochnowitz will examine serious articles addressing the perceived dangers of a vegetarian diet and biting satire poking fun at the ridiculousness of vegetarianism.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

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.

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.

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.

In practice\, though\, Bayesian inference necessitates approximation of a high-dimensional integral\, and some traditional algorithms for this purpose can be slow---notably at data scales of current interest. The tutorial will cover the foundations of some modern tools for fast\, approximate Bayesian inference at scale. One increasingly popular framework is provided by \"variational Bayes\" (VB)\, which formulates Bayesian inference as an optimization problem. We will examine key benefits and pitfalls of using VB in practice\, with a focus on the widespread \"mean-field variational Bayes\" (MFVB) subtype. We will highlight properties that anyone working with VB\, from the data analyst to the theoretician\, should be aware of. And we will discuss a number of open challenges.\n\nThis workshop is open to all and will be livestreamed at\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/610377170\nProblems?

By definition\, VML exceeds the muscle’s capacity for self-repair and results in persistent functional deficits. Significantly\, no treatment options exist that can fully restore native structure and function. To address the limitations of current treatments\, our laboratory has developed tissue-engineered skeletal muscle units (SMUs) as a novel treatment for VML repair. SMUs have shown promising regenerative potential in a rat VML model\; however\, limitations of rodent models necessitated transitioning our technology to a large animal (sheep) model.\n\n \n\nDespite substantial heterogeneity of muscle progenitor cell populations obtained from craniofacial\, trunk\, and limb muscle\, engineered skeletal muscle tissues are almost exclusively fabricated from cells derived from hindlimb muscle\, making the effects of cell source on engineered muscle tissue unknown. Thus\, we conducted a comparison of SMUs fabricated from muscle cells isolated from both craniofacial and hindlimb muscle sources and evaluated the effects of these cell sources on SMU structure and function. Specifically\, we showed that the semimembranosus muscle was the most clinically relevant muscle source for the fabrication of SMUs.\n\nWe also sought to develop a method to scale our SMUs to clinically relevant sizes. We developed a modular fabrication method that combines multiple smaller SMUs into a larger implantable graft. Consequently\, we successfully fabricated of one of the largest engineered skeletal muscle tissues to date while avoiding the formation of a necrotic core. To treat peripheral nerve injuries that often accompany VML\, we also developed engineered neural conduits (ENCs) to bridge gaps between healthy native nerve and the injury site. We used scaled-up SMUs and ENCs to treat a 30% VML in the ovine peroneus tertius muscle. After a 3-month recovery\, SMU-treated groups restored muscle mass and force production to a level that was statistically indistinguishable from the uninjured contralateral muscle.\n\nLastly\, we evaluated the efficacy of SMUs in repairing craniofacial VML. Despite reported differences in the regenerative capacity of craniofacial muscle compared to limb muscle\, prior to my thesis there were no models of craniofacial VML in either large or small animal models. Thus\, we introduced the first model of craniofacial VML and evaluated the ability of SMUs to treat a 30% VML in the zygomaticus major muscle. Despite using the same injury and repair model in both implantation studies\, results showed differences in pathophysiology between craniofacial and hindlimb VML. The fibrotic response was increased in the facial muscle model\, and there was tissue tethering and intramuscular fat deposition that was not observed in the hindlimb study. The craniofacial model was also confounded by concomitant denervation and ischemia injuries which was too severe for our SMUs to repair. This study highlighted the importance of balancing the use of a clinically realistic model while also maintaining control over variables related to the severity of the injury.\n\nOverall\, this work significantly contributed to the field of skeletal muscle tissue engineering by evaluating the effects of muscle source on the structure and function of SMUs\, created a modular fabrication method for tissue scale-up\, and introduced a new large animal model\, and a craniofacial model of VML. The success of this technology demonstrates its potential for treating clinical VML in the future.\n\nChair: Dr. Lisa Larkin UID:73840-18339520@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73840 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,Biosciences,bme,Discussion,engineering,Life Science,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Research,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200316T132652 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200326T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200326T110000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ph.D. Defense: Tyler Gerhardson DESCRIPTION:NOTICE: Will be held via BlueJeans.\n\nLink: https://umich.bluejeans.com/924142541\n\nBrain pathologies including stroke and cancer are a major cause of death and disability. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for roughly 12% of all strokes in the US with approximately 200\,000 new cases per year. ICH is characterized by the rupture of vessels resulting in bleeding and clotting inside the brain. The presence of the clot causes immediate damage to surrounding brain tissue via mass effect with delayed toxic effects developing in the days following the hemorrhage. This leads ICH patients to high mortality with a 40% chance of death within 30 days of diagnosis and motivates the need to quickly evacuate the clot from the brain. Craniotomy surgery and other minimally invasive methods using thrombolytic drugs are common procedures to remove the clot but are limited by factors such as morbidity and high susceptibility to rebleeding\, which ultimately result in poor clinical outcomes.\n \nHistotripsy is a non-thermal ultrasound ablation technique that uses short duration\, high amplitude rarefactional pulses (>26 MPa) delivered via an extracorporeal transducer to generate targeted cavitation using the intrinsic gas nuclei existing in the target tissue. The rapid and energetic bubble expansion and collapse of cavitation create high stress and strain in tissue at the focus that fractionate it into an acellular homogenate. This dissertation presents the role of histotripsy as a novel ultrasound technology with potential to address the need for an effective transcranial therapy for ICH and other brain pathologies.\n \nThe first part of this work investigates the effects of ultrasound frequency and focal spacing on transcranial clot liquefaction using histotripsy. Histotripsy pulses were delivered using two 256-element hemispherical transducers of different frequency (250 and 500 kHz) with 30-cm aperture diameters. Liquefied clot was drained via catheter and syringe in the range of 6-59 mL in 0.9-42.4 min. The fastest rate was 16.6 mL/min. The best parameter combination was λ spacing at 500 kHz\, which produced large liquefaction through 3 skullcaps (~30 mL) with fast rates (~2 mL/min). The temperature-rise through the 3 skullcaps remained below 4°C.\n \nThe second part addresses initial safety concerns for histotripsy ICH treatment through investigation in a porcine ICH model. 1.75-mL clots were formed in the frontal lobe of the brain. The centers of the clots were liquefied with histotripsy 48 h after formation\, and the content was either evacuated or left within the brain. A control group was left untreated. Histotripsy was able to liquefy the core of clots without direct damage to the perihematomal brain tissue. An average volume of 0.9 ± 0.5 mL (~50%) was drained after histotripsy treatment. All groups showed mild ischemia and gliosis in the perihematomal region\; however\, there were no deaths or signs of neurological dysfunction in any groups.\n \nThe third part presents the development of a novel catheter hydrophone method for transcranial phase aberration correction and drainage of the clot liquefied with histotripsy. A prototype hydrophone was fabricated to fit within a ventriculostomy catheter. Improvements in focal pressure of up to 60% were achieved at the geometric focus and 27%-62% across a range of electronic steering locations. The sagittal and axial -6-dB beam widths decreased from 4.6 to 2.2 mm in the sagittal direction and 8 to 4.4 mm in the axial direction\, compared to 1.5 and 3 mm in the absence of aberration. The cores of clots liquefied with histotripsy were readily drained via the catheter.\n \nThe fourth part focuses on the development of a preclinical system for translation to human cadaver ICH models. A 360-element\, 700 kHz hemispherical array with a 30 cm aperture was designed and integrated with an optical tracker surgical navigation system. Calibrated simulations of the transducer suggest a therapeutic range between 48 – 105 mL through the human skull with the ability to apply therapy pulses at pulse-repetition-frequencies up to 200 Hz. The navigation system allows real-time targeting and placement of the catheter hydrophone via a pre-operative CT or MRI.\n \nThe fifth and final part of this work extends transcranial histotripsy therapy beyond ICH to the treatment of glioblastoma. This section presents results from an initial investigation into cancer immunomodulation using histotripsy in a mouse glioblastoma model. The results suggest histotripsy has some immunomodulatory capacity as evidenced by a 2-fold reduction in myeloid derived suppressor cells and large increases in interferon-γ concentrations (3500 pg/mL) within the brain tumors of mice treated with histotripsy.

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.

We hope to reschedule this event for the 2020-21 academic year. \n\nMy paper begins by reflecting upon work by Li Kotomi (1989-)\, a Taiwanese author writing in Japanese about love between women and referencing both Japanese lesbian fiction and the iconic Taiwanese lesbian writer Qiu Miaojin (1969-1995). From Japanese and Taiwanese queer fiction\, I then pivot to queer Asian American writing such as that by Vietnamese American writer Ocean Vuong (1988-)\, who uses Qiu’s lines to open his book On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous (2019). Through these texts\, I address how “queer” figures into discourses of ekkyō bungaku (border-crossing literature)\, tongzhi literary tradition\, and Asian American writing.\n \nGrace En-Yi Ting specializes in queer feminist approaches to Japanese literary and cultural studies. She is working on a book manuscript titled *Minor Intimacies: Queerness\, the Normative\, and the Everyday in Contemporary Japan*. From 2018-2020\, she is a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Postdoctoral Fellow at Waseda University.\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.

The lecture will survey Renan’s conception of Judaism and Islam\, through his invention of the category of “Semitic religions.” We shall reflect on its consequences on the study of monotheism among historians of religions\, as well as on the development of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the last decades of the century. \n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

Electric vehicle drivers value public charging availability since\, among other benefits\, it reduces range anxiety. This talk introduces drivers’ willingness to pay functions for public charging infrastructure availability\, conditional on electric vehicle type and range\, annual travel mileage\, energy prices\, vehicle efficiency\, and household income. At the same time\, public charging deployment creates investment opportunities for station operators and electric utilities. Hence\, in the last part of this talk\, operating costs for fast charging stations are estimated\, leveraging utility rates data across the United States. Cost mitigation technologies\, such as solar panels and energy storage\, are also identified.\n\nEleftheria Kontou is an Assistant Professor in the Civil and Enviornmental Engineering Department at University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign. Her research interests include transportation planning\, electrification and emerging vehicle technologies operations\, as well as transportation and energy sectors interdependencies.

For such settings\, I will introduce a unified algorithmic paradigm\, and provide a simple\, yet general\, condition under which these algorithms achieve constant regret\, i.e.\, additive loss compared to the hindsight optimal solution which is independent of the horizon and state-space. The results stem from an elementary sample-path coupling argument\, which may prove useful for a larger class of problems in online decision-making. Time permitting\, I will illustrate this by showing how we can use this technique to obtain simple data-driven implementations of the above algorithms\, which achieve constant regret with as little as a single data trace.\n\nBio:\nSid Banerjee is an Assistant Professor in the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering (ORIE) at Cornell\, as well as a field member in the CS and ECE Departments and the Center for Applied Mathematics.

To protect the health and safety of our communities and minimize the spread of the Novel Coronavirus COVID-19\, U-M is making changes to classes and events on our Ann Arbor\, Dearborn\, and Flint campuses.\n\nFor more information about the U-M response to COVID-19\, please visit https://publicaffairs.vpcomm.umich.edu/2019-novel-coronavirus-covid-19/\n\nWe are very pleased to welcome Dr. William Kuo of UCAR as part of the CLASP Seminar Series.\n\nDr. Kuo will give a lecture titled \"Impact of Radio Occultation Data on the Prediction of Tropical Cyclogenesis.\" \n\nAbstract: Tropical cyclones are one of the most devastating severe weather systems that are responsible for huge loss of lives and properties every year. Accurate prediction of tropical cyclogenesis by numerical models has been a significant challenge\, largely because of the lack of observations over the tropical oceans. The atmospheric limb sounding technique\, which makes use of radio signals transmitted by global navigation satellite systems (GNSS)\, has evolved as a robust global observing system. This technique\, known as radio occultation (RO) can provide valuable water vapor and temperature observations for the analysis and prediction of tropical cyclogenesis. Using the WRF modeling and data assimilation system\, we show that the assimilation of RO data can substantially improve the skills of the model in predicting the tropical cyclogenesis for ten typhoon cases that took place over the Western Pacific from 2008 to 2010. To gain insight on the impact of GPS RO data assimilation\, we perform a detailed analysis of the formation process of Typhoon Nuri (2008)\, and examine how the assimilation of the GPS RO data enables the model to capture the cyclogenesis. The joint Taiwan-U.S. COSMIC-II mission was launched in June 2019. It is currently going through check-out phase\, and will provide 5\,000 GPS RO data per day over the tropics when it is fully operational. This will provide a great opportunity for research and operational prediction of tropical cyclogenesis.\n\nPlease join us!

It will also show that many of those institutions were put in place during the two Han dynasties\, and that the theorists adapted the Five Classics and early masterwork to justify a surprising series of innovations (including voting).\n \nMichael Nylan (Ph.D. '83) began her teaching career at Bryn Mawr College\, in the History Department\, with an affiliation with the Growth and Structure of Cities program and Political Science. There she began to learn political philosophy from Steven Salkever\, an Aristotle expert. After more than a decade at Bryn Mawr\, where she founded and led the major in East Asian Studies\, in 2001 she moved on to the UC-Berkeley History Department\, to work with graduate students in the company of one of the oldest and most distinguished of faculties of Chinese history. Now she writes in three main academic disciplines: the history of early China (roughly 300 BC-AD 300)\, early Chinese philosophy\, and the art and archaeology of China. She has an abiding interest in the use and abuse of history in the modern period\, as well as in the politics of the common good\, the \"logics of legitimacy\" inscribed in the implied social contracts forged at different times and places between the rulers and ruled at different times and places. She began research on pleasure theory in early China some eighteen years ago\, and because no one was writing on the topic at the time\, she took her time with the project\, to better understand the precise valences of the vocabulary and tropes the Chinese used to communicate their thoughts in a culture alive to pleasure. Her current projects include a reconstruction of a Han-era Documents classic\, writing a general-interest study on the \"Four Fathers of History\,\" and compiling a study of the politics of the common good in early China.\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.

Details TBA.\n\nWhy I Fight\, a theatrical adaptation of the 2019 Michigan Quarterly Review novelette by James Munro Leaf\, dramatizes the perils of being defined by a mental illness and being caught in the psychiatric system. It probes the presumption of labels and the complex dynamics of power\, dehumanization\, and abuse in clinical settings. Creative director Gillian Eaton and actor Malcolm Tulip\, faculty of the U-M School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance\, engage several of their students in this production at the Residential College’s Keene Theater (dates TBA).\n\nBased on collaboration with the staff at the U-M Heinz C.

Ticketholders will receive more communication soon.**\n \nan operetta by Johann Strauss II\nDirected by Grant Preisser\, University Opera Theatre\nConducted by Kirk Severtson\, University Philharmonia Orchestra\n\nScheming and devious plans run amuck to culminate in a hilarious comeuppance in this re-imagined\, gender-bent take on Strauss's light-hearted comedy filled with lush Viennese waltzes. Willkommen\, Bienvenue\, Welcome to ... The Fledermaus--Berlin’s hottest cabaret! It’s New Year’s Eve 1932\, and Orlofsky’s club is preparing for its annual blow-out celebration. However\, more is afoot this year than usual as Orlofsky and Rosalinde\, the headline singer of the cabaret\, scheme to out Rosalinde’s playboy and apparently bi-sexual husband\, Gabriel von Eisenstein. With the aid of Eisenstein’s friend Dr. Falke\, Rosalinde feigns an illness\, clearing the path for Eisenstein to attend the party and indulge in his proclivities without his wife present. Unbeknownst to Eisenstein\, Rosalinde does\, in fact\, attend-in full male drag-with the aim to seduce her husband and confirm the rumors of his broadening predilections. Of course\, things never go quite as planned\, and as the party rages on\, champagne flows\, secrets are revealed\, and disguises come off\, leading to a lesson for some and a happy reconciliation for all.\n\nFull of pranks\, disguises\, and overall merriment\, Die Fledermaus is Johann Strauss II’s most loved operetta\, featuring the Hungarian “Csardas\,” and Orlofsky’s “Toast to Champagne.” This updated take explores themes of sexuality and gender identification\, as present in the 1930s as they are today. This production will be sung in German with dialogue in English and German and projected English translations.

With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

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.

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.

They were in competition with their fellow traders from Portugal\, Netherlands\, France\, Denmark\, and Sweden\, who tried their own fortunes in India. They all got involved in the local political intrigue\, but the British emerged as the preeminent power. 1757 saw the ascendancy of the British East India Company as the ruler of Bengal. Over the next one hundred years\, the Company expanded its power over most of the Indian subcontinent by military conquest. A massive popular rebellion against the Company in 1857 was brutally crushed. The next year\, the British Parliament dissolved the Company and took over the ruling of India\, as a result of the uprising. \n The 20th century saw two world wars and massive social\, economic\, and technological changes globally along with the rise of the independence movement in India. Britain ceded power in 1947 to two political entities\, India and Pakistan. Instructor Lakshminarayanan will hold work groups on Fridays from March 27 through May 15 (no class on April 10).

In theory\, Bayesian methods for discovering pairwise interactions enjoy many benefits such as coherent uncertainty quantification\, the ability to incorporate background knowledge\, and desirable shrinkage properties. In practice\, however\, Bayesian methods are often computationally intractable for even moderate-dimensional problems. Our key insight is that many hierarchical models of practical interest admit a particular Gaussian process (GP) representation\; the GP allows us to capture the posterior with a vector of O(p) kernel hyper-parameters rather than O(p^2) interactions and main effects. With the implicit representation\, we can run Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) over model hyper-parameters in time and memory linear in p per iteration. We focus on sparsity-inducing models and show on datasets with a variety of covariate behaviors that our method: (1) reduces runtime by orders of magnitude over naive applications of MCMC\, (2) provides lower Type I and Type II error relative to state-of-the-art LASSO-based approaches\, and (3) offers improved computational scaling in high dimensions relative to existing Bayesian and LASSO-based approaches.\n*Livestream Info*\nThis Seminar will be livestreamed using Zoom.

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.

There are two main hypotheses on how sleep promotes memory consolidation: the Sleep Homeostasis Hypothesis (SHY) and Active System Consolidation (ASC). SHY posits that during waking experience\, the brain forms new memories – creating and strengthening synapses. Unregulated\, this process could reach a point of saturation\, which would be metabolically expensive and occlude new memory formation. SHY hypothesizes that during sleep\, synapses are uniformly scaled\, eliminating weak connections while stronger synapses (important memories) persist. In contrast\, ASC postulates that sleep synchronizes neural firing\, selectively activating (and strengthening) synaptic connections for specific memories – promoting consolidation. Thus\, according to the two hypotheses\, different synaptic changes are expected across sleep. \n\nUnresolved discrepancies between ACS and SHY may be due to technical limitations. Until recently\, techniques have been unavailable to characterize and manipulate the neurons involved in a specific memory. Experimental outcomes have historically relied on data averaged across the neurons in a given brain structure. This lack of resolution has been a major barrier to understanding how sleep promotes memory consolidation. To move beyond these limitations\, this thesis employs both in vivo recording of neurons (allowing tracking of memory encoding neurons across behavioral states) and recently developed engram\, or memory trace\, tools (allowing us to manipulate the activity of neurons encoding a specific memory). These experimental strategies aim to clarify whether SHY or ASC (or both) occur in primary visual cortex (V1) during post-learning sleep\, and whether this consolidation is dependent on sleep-specific memory reactivation.\n\nUsing neuronal firing rates as a measure of plasticity\, we examined the activity of V1 neurons across sleep\, sleep deprivation\, and post-learning sleep. The learning paradigm used is orientation-specific response potentiation (OSRP) which manifests as selective increases in V1 neuronal responses to a specific orientated grating. All sleep conditions showed an upregulation in the activity of low firing rate neurons and a downregulation of the activity of high firing rate neurons. These low firing rate neurons convey more visual information and selectively express OSRP. This suggests that sleep selectively upregulates the activity of neurons involved in sensory experience while simultaneously downregulating the activity those that are not. \n\nTo evaluate the necessity of memory reactivation during sleep for consolidation\, we used engram technology to selectively manipulate neurons activated by a specific visual stimulus. We combined visually-cued conditioning to oriented gratings with engram labelling to create a tractable system for manipulating a specific memory during sleep. We show that the TRAP (targeted recombination in active populations) engram mouse line can be used to drive transgene expression in a specific oriented grating ensemble in primary visual cortex. We then inhibit this ensemble during post-conditioning sleep causing impaired consolidation. This was done in a content specific manner without altering sleep architecture or oscillations - indicating that reactivation specifically is necessary for sleep dependent memory consolidation.\n\nThis work unites two long standing hypotheses regarding sleep function for brain circuitry - SHY and ASC. The data support a comprehensive model in which sleep selectively reactivates neurons encoding relevant information. This upregulates their activity\, while simultaneously decreasing activity in neurons whose information content is not salient. Future work will be needed to understand the molecular\, cellular\, and network mechanisms which drive these changes in specific cell populations.

Given that the figure of the refugee was alien to the memory of the colonial state\, it was hardly surprising that there were no pre-existing genres of recognizing her. With the exception of Calcutta\, Delhi received a disproportionate number of refugees compared to other cities and urban authorities had to grapple with the absence of an infrastructure of enumerating and identifying them. In this city\, various actors such as the Ministry of Relief and Rehabilitation\, housing agencies\, the Delhi administration and refugee associations acted in concert to fortify the process of rehabilitation from the chaos of displaced identity documents. While an official identity document\, termed the refugee registration certificate did emerge\, it was unrealistic for authorities to undertake rehabilitation on the strength of the scarce possession of this document. Simultaneously\, urban rehabilitation authorities refused to exempt (Dalit\, upper caste Hindu and Sikh) refugee ‘squatters’ from encumbrances of submitting evidence of their caste\, nationality\, displacement\, entry\, occupation and presence in the planned city. Using several genres of primary historical sources\, this paper inquires into how the Indian state went about knowing the refugee dwelling in urban spaces in ways that straddle the philosophical and the feasible\, the material and the intangible. In particular\, it asks the question\, what role did refugee knowledge play in the fashioning of identity documents between 1947 and 1960? This paper must also be read in another register\, namely\, the popular making and not just the popular life of identity documents in marginal spaces of dwelling at an early hour of state formation.\n\nTarangini Sriraman is author of In Pursuit of Proof: A History of Identification Documents in India published by OUP India. The book weaves together a hitherto unattempted history of making and verifying identification documents in the urban margins of India. She teaches Politics and History at the School of Liberal Studies in Azim Premji University\, Bangalore. She has previously been a South Asia Program Fellow\, Cornell University\, Postdoctoral Fellow at Centre de Sciences Humaines\, New Delhi and Visiting Associate Fellow\, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies\, Delhi.

Details TBA.\n\nWhy I Fight\, a theatrical adaptation of the 2019 Michigan Quarterly Review novelette by James Munro Leaf\, dramatizes the perils of being defined by a mental illness and being caught in the psychiatric system. It probes the presumption of labels and the complex dynamics of power\, dehumanization\, and abuse in clinical settings. Creative director Gillian Eaton and actor Malcolm Tulip\, faculty of the U-M School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance\, engage several of their students in this production at the Residential College’s Keene Theater (dates TBA).\n\nBased on collaboration with the staff at the U-M Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program and other University colleagues\, a series of panels on mental illness and the arts follow each theatrical performance. Panelists will expand on themes in Why I Fight and invite conversation with audience members. Individuals and family members who live with mental illness\; U-M faculty conducting psycho-social\, public health\, and biomedical research\; mental health practitioners and community advocates\, including the arts community\, will explore the roles of creativity and nature for healing. The panels will be moderated by Dr. Melvin McInnis\, Director of the Prechter Program\, and other U-M mental health experts. A catered reception and information tables for resources in the arts and mental wellness organizations accompany each performance. (Please see the full list of panelists for more information).\n\nA series of associated events and workshops\, free and open to the public\, are scheduled for the weekend.

Ticketholders will receive more communication soon.**\n \nan operetta by Johann Strauss II\nDirected by Grant Preisser\, University Opera Theatre\nConducted by Kirk Severtson\, University Philharmonia Orchestra\n\nScheming and devious plans run amuck to culminate in a hilarious comeuppance in this re-imagined\, gender-bent take on Strauss's light-hearted comedy filled with lush Viennese waltzes. Willkommen\, Bienvenue\, Welcome to ... The Fledermaus--Berlin’s hottest cabaret! It’s New Year’s Eve 1932\, and Orlofsky’s club is preparing for its annual blow-out celebration. However\, more is afoot this year than usual as Orlofsky and Rosalinde\, the headline singer of the cabaret\, scheme to out Rosalinde’s playboy and apparently bi-sexual husband\, Gabriel von Eisenstein. With the aid of Eisenstein’s friend Dr. Falke\, Rosalinde feigns an illness\, clearing the path for Eisenstein to attend the party and indulge in his proclivities without his wife present. Unbeknownst to Eisenstein\, Rosalinde does\, in fact\, attend-in full male drag-with the aim to seduce her husband and confirm the rumors of his broadening predilections. Of course\, things never go quite as planned\, and as the party rages on\, champagne flows\, secrets are revealed\, and disguises come off\, leading to a lesson for some and a happy reconciliation for all.\n\nFull of pranks\, disguises\, and overall merriment\, Die Fledermaus is Johann Strauss II’s most loved operetta\, featuring the Hungarian “Csardas\,” and Orlofsky’s “Toast to Champagne.” This updated take explores themes of sexuality and gender identification\, as present in the 1930s as they are today. This production will be sung in German with dialogue in English and German and projected English translations.

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.

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.

Details TBA.\n\nWhy I Fight\, a theatrical adaptation of the 2019 Michigan Quarterly Review novelette by James Munro Leaf\, dramatizes the perils of being defined by a mental illness and being caught in the psychiatric system.

Ticketholders will receive more communication soon.**\n \nan operetta by Johann Strauss II\nDirected by Grant Preisser\, University Opera Theatre\nConducted by Kirk Severtson\, University Philharmonia Orchestra\n\nScheming and devious plans run amuck to culminate in a hilarious comeuppance in this re-imagined\, gender-bent take on Strauss's light-hearted comedy filled with lush Viennese waltzes. Willkommen\, Bienvenue\, Welcome to ... The Fledermaus--Berlin’s hottest cabaret! It’s New Year’s Eve 1932\, and Orlofsky’s club is preparing for its annual blow-out celebration. However\, more is afoot this year than usual as Orlofsky and Rosalinde\, the headline singer of the cabaret\, scheme to out Rosalinde’s playboy and apparently bi-sexual husband\, Gabriel von Eisenstein. With the aid of Eisenstein’s friend Dr. Falke\, Rosalinde feigns an illness\, clearing the path for Eisenstein to attend the party and indulge in his proclivities without his wife present. Unbeknownst to Eisenstein\, Rosalinde does\, in fact\, attend-in full male drag-with the aim to seduce her husband and confirm the rumors of his broadening predilections. Of course\, things never go quite as planned\, and as the party rages on\, champagne flows\, secrets are revealed\, and disguises come off\, leading to a lesson for some and a happy reconciliation for all.\n\nFull of pranks\, disguises\, and overall merriment\, Die Fledermaus is Johann Strauss II’s most loved operetta\, featuring the Hungarian “Csardas\,” and Orlofsky’s “Toast to Champagne.” This updated take explores themes of sexuality and gender identification\, as present in the 1930s as they are today.
