Fair / Festival:(CANCELLED) Palomitas Cineclub: Festival de cine presents El abrazo de la serpiente (The Embrace of the Serpent)

El abrazo de la serpienteCiro Guerra / Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela / 2015 / 125 minA breathtaking ethnographic odyssey through the heart of the Colombian Amazon, Embrace of the Serpent is the epic story of the first contact, approach, betrayal and, eventually, friendship, between Karamakate, an amazonian shaman, last survivor of his people, and two scientists that, over the course of 40 years, become the first men to travel the Northwest Amazon in search of a sacred and difficult-to-find psychedelic Yakruna plant. 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.

Pájaros de verano (Birds of Passage)Wayuu, English, and Spanish with English subtitlesWith Carmiña Martínez, José Acosta, Natalia Reyes, Jhon Narváez, Greider Meza, José Vicente Cote, Juan Bautista MartínezACADEMY AWARD® COLOMBIA’S SUBMISSION FOR BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILMCristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra, the creative team behind Oscar®-nominated Embrace of the Serpent (also available for your SFC festival), return with this inspired mob epic for the ages — a completely fresh take on the origins of the Colombian drug trade, far from Narcos and Escobar, as told through the story of an indigenous Wayúu family.In the 1970s, as an American-fueled marijuana boom hits Colombia, farmers quickly turn into seasoned businessmen starting a narco-trafficking era known as “la Bonanza Marimbera.”In the Guajira desert, one indigenous Wayúu clan takes a leading role. 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.

Birds first flew onto Ellie Harold's canvases in 2016, appearing to her as intuitive messengers of hope and healing for troubled times. 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.

Anne Mondro is an artist and a professor in the U-M Penny W. 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.

Exhibition:Gouache Paintings
2020-03-29 08:00 - 20:00, 2020-03-30 08:00 - 20:00, 2020-03-31 08:00 - 20:00, 2020-04-01 08:00 - 20:00, 2020-04-02 08:00 - 20:00, 2020-04-03 08:00 - 20:00, 2020-04-04 08:00 - 20:00 | Taubman Center
Jaye Schlesinger is a full time painter living and working in Ann Arbor. 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.

Exhibition:Migrations: Fiber Notes from the Journey
2020-03-29 08:00 - 17:00, 2020-03-30 08:00 - 17:00, 2020-03-31 08:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-01 08:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-02 08:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-03 08:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-04 08:00 - 17:00 | Cancer Center
Migration has profoundly affected the life and perspective of the Michigan-based fiber artist, Martina Celerin. 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.

The Birmingham Society of Women Painters are from the surrounding metro Detroit area. 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.

Exhibition:What We Hold, What Holds Us: Homes & Vessels

Although Candace Compton Pappas is recognized primarily as a painter, this series of constructed homes and vessels represents an important facet of her life as an artist. 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.

Exhibition:Dear Stranger: Diaries for the Private and Public Self
2020-03-29 08:30 - 18:00, 2020-03-30 08:30 - 18:00, 2020-03-31 08:30 - 18:00, 2020-04-01 08:30 - 18:00, 2020-04-02 08:30 - 18:00, 2020-04-03 08:30 - 18:00, 2020-04-04 08:30 - 18:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room
Through this exhibit, we invite you to explore more than two centuries of diaries and diary-like documents from across the holdings of the Special Collections Research Center, ranging from privately emotive to publicly informative, from offering news reportage to depicting emotional processing, and from factual to purely fictional. As you read, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.

Diaries, 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.

Exhibition:Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. 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.

Support 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

Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED - Public Talk | Corruption in the Government is Declining in Armenia. Can We Keep It Up?
2020-03-29 12:00 - 13:00 | Off Campus Location
Unfortunately, and due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been cancelled.

Curbing corruption in Armenia was one of the main goals of the new Armenian government before the velvet revolution in 2018. According to Transparency International, corruption in Armenia has decreased in 2019 (compared to 2018). This talk will briefly explore the reasons and address what might be done as a next step to keep the progress up.

Dr. Aram Simonyan is Associate Professor of Economics at the International Scientific Educational Centre of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, where he has been serving as Associate Chair of Economics and Management Department. His main research focuses on anti-corruption strategies in European countries from a socio-economic perspective. Advanced in eight languages, he held visiting positions at multiple European universities and is now at work pursuing a second PhD in Sociology at the University of Kiel. Dr. Simonyan was a Weiser Professional Fellow at the U-M Gerald Ford School of Public Policy in 2018, and is 2019-20 visiting Fulbright Scholar at the U-M Ross School of Business.

If 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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

2020-03-29 12:00 - 17:00, 2020-03-31 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-01 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-02 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-03 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-04 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art - A. Alfred Taubman Gallery I
This expansive look at the work and concerns of emerging contemporary artist Cullen Washington, Jr. pivots around the artist’s most recent series, Agoras. The compositions explore the ancient Greek public space as a site for activated assembly and the heart of the artistic, spiritual, and political life of the city. UMMA’s installation is designed with an actual public square at its center, complete with sound components featuring noted political and aesthetic discourse and surrounded by Washington’s soaring monumental collages. Works from four earlier series by the artist form the perimeter of the Museum’s largest special exhibition space. The artist describes his work as “abstract meditations on the grid and humanity.”

Lead 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. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of History of Art, School of Education, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, School of Social Work, and Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.

The Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners is one of the largest exhibitions of art by incarcerated artists in the country. Each year, faculty, staff and students from the University of Michigan travel to correctional facilities across Michigan and select work for the exhibition while providing feedback and critique that strengthens artist’s work and builds community around art making inside prisons.

Class / Instruction:Project Management Certification
2020-03-29 12:00 - 16:30 | Ross School of Business
Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 15 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, March 29 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, April 5 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for April 26, 2020 (11:00 am) at the Ross School of Business, R-0320. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skillset to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
http://myumi.ch/dO5Nl

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B, and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Exhibition:Reflections: An Ordinary Day
2020-03-29 12:00 - 17:00, 2020-03-31 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-01 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-02 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-03 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-04 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art - Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Gallery
UMMA’s second exhibition of Inuit art derived from the Power Family’s generous promised gift to the Museum in 2018 explores the relationship between the artist and the representation of everyday experiences. Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints, drawings, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists, their communities, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.

This exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Exhibition:Witness Lab
2020-03-29 12:00 - 17:00, 2020-03-31 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-01 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-02 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-03 11:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-04 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art - Irving Stenn, Jr. Family Gallery
Designed 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. 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.

Witness 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.

Performance:CANCELLED - Gemini
2020-03-29 13:00 - 15:00 | Off Campus Location
Gemini is the much-loved duo of Sandor and Laszlo Slomovits. They've been performing since 1973 and are now playing music for the third—or is it fourth?—generation of young fans and families. They write and perform acoustic music for children and families, celebrating with their audiences the warmth, fun, and joy of family life. A Gemini concert is a kinetic event, filled with rousing singalongs, hand motion tunes, folk tales, and music from around the world. "If the Pied Piper had been twins, chances are he would have been Gemini," says the Detroit News. Since 1979 San and Laz have released numerous recordings for adults and children and families. These recordings have won a number of awards including ones from Parents' Choice Magazine, the American Library Association, the National Parenting Publications (NAPPA), and the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts.

Performance:UMMA Pop Up: Jury Duty
2020-03-29 13:00 - 14:00 | Museum of Art
Jury Duty is a jazz quartet consisting of U-M School of Music, Theatre and Dance (SMTD) sophomores Eric Banitt, Mitchell Dangler, Reuben Stump, and Ian Thompson. The group began playing together in preparation for their annual performance examinations in the jazz department. These examinations are called "juries," birthing the group's name. After adequately preparing for their freshman year jury, Jury Duty began writing and performing their original compositions in dorm rooms, houses, and other venues around Ann Arbor.

A yooper hailing from Marquette, Michigan, Eric Banitt is a jazz piano major. With his roots in classical music, Eric also plays the trumpet and violin. Mitch Dangler is a sophomore from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Mitch plays the drum-set, and if you’re lucky he’ll whip out a couple of spoons. Reuben Stump is from Lansing, Michigan, and has been playing the bass for over 4 years. Reuben grew up performing and listening to the Great American Songbook. Ian Thompson is from Troy, Michigan and has been playing guitar for 5 years. Ian's roots are in classical and rock music, having studied the piano and trumpet before switching to guitar.

Performance:*CANCELED* Die Fledermaus
2020-03-29 14:00 | Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
**In accordance with the Unversity-wide measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, this production has been canceled. Ticketholders will receive more communication soon.**

an operetta by Johann Strauss II
Directed by Grant Preisser, University Opera Theatre
Conducted by Kirk Severtson, University Philharmonia Orchestra

Scheming 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.

Full 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.

Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED - Abdul El-Sayed Lecture & Book Signing
2020-03-29 14:00 - 17:00 | Power Center for the Performing Arts
The campus and Ann Arbor communities are invited to join us for a public lecture and book signing! Public health doctor and activist Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is returning to his alma mater for a special event with the LSA Honors Program, where Dr. El-Sayed will serve as the Fall 2020 DeRoy Professor. El-Sayed who began his undergraduate career with the LSA Honors Program, was the 2008 U-M Commencement student speaker and a 2009 Rhodes Scholar, among other notable achievements.

His forthcoming book, "Healing Politics: A Doctor’s Journey into Heart of our Political Epidemic," diagnoses our country’s “epidemic of insecurity” and the empathy policy we’ll need to treat it.

“Healing Politics is a token of appreciation for this state and its people, who taught me so much over the past several years. I hope it captures the challenges we face—and the hope I’ve seen in the least likely places,” said El-Sayed. “These are the insights I hope to bring to the classroom as the DeRoy Professor at the LSA Honors Program next fall. I’m excited to be back on campus, where, in many ways, the intellectual roots of this book took shape when I was a student.”

The LSA Honors DeRoy Visiting Professorship was endowed by the Helen L. DeRoy Foundation in 1981 to make it possible for students to study with distinguished persons in business, government, labor, law, and various scholarly disciplines. Former DeRoy Professors include poet and critic Carmen Bugan and French economist Jacques Mistral.

This event is hosted in partnership with U-M LSA Honors Program; Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships; The Phi Beta Kappa Society, Alpha of Michigan Chapter; School for Environment and Sustainability; Ford School of Public Policy; School of Public Health; School of Social Work.

Presentation:Postponed - Why I Fight
2020-03-29 14:00 - 16:00 | East Quadrangle - Keene Theater
This event has been postponed. Details TBA.

Why 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).

Based 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).

A series of associated events and workshops, free and open to the public, are scheduled for the weekend.

Workshop / Seminar:Data Visualization With 3D Graphics Using Unity3D and C#
2020-03-30 13:00 - 16:00 | Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Earl Lewis Room
Video game development is more accessible than ever before thanks to modern software tools, with many options free to download. These tools are also used to program more “serious” applications that require interactive 3D graphics, from mobile apps, virtual and augmented reality, computer vision and artificial intelligence, and real-time CGI film production.

Unity3D is a powerful and popular game engine for both hobbyist and professional projects, able to compile a ‘game’ to almost any computer platform, and free to download for non-commercial use. This workshop will show how you can use it to render data from research projects in a 3D interactive representation for user analysis and demonstration.

In this workshop, we introduce the Unity3D workspace, and prepare a demo that allows the user to load an example dataset and view it as a simple set of 3D representations. A basic familiarity with any computer programming language (C# will be used during the session) is recommended to get the most out of the workshop. To take part, users will be responsible to bring their own laptop with Unity3D (available for Windows, Macintosh and Linux) pre-installed. Additional project files will be provided to registered users ahead of the workshop date.

Class / Instruction:Leading a Meaningful Life in a Self-centered World
2020-03-30 13:00 - 15:00 | Off Campus Location
Having survived their youth and entered maturity, OLLI members will appreciate the affirming and instructive book, "The Second Mountain - The Quest for a Moral Life", which we will read and discuss.
Author and New York Times columnist David Brooks has moved from strictly political and government issues to spending much of his time studying human values and behaviors, while he has climbed the second mountain of life. The second mountain holds experiences that are really worthwhile, not the things other people tell them to want. They move from self-centered to other-centered.
They embrace a life of interdependence, not independence. They take on commitment. Gerry Lapidus has lead more than 50 OLLI book discussion classes. Please read through pg. 26 (Intro, sections 1-3) for the first meeting. The Study Group for those 50 and over is held Mondays March 30 through May 11 (no class April 6).

Workshop / Seminar:Canvas Quizzes for LSA Faculty
2020-03-30 14:00 - 15:00 | Modern Languages Building - 2001-A, Media Center, PC Classroom
LSA Technology Services is offering training for faculty members on how to create Quizzes in Canvas. Topics will include:

● How to create different question types (fill in the blank, matching, multiple choice)
● How to create quiz banks
● How to create clickable rubrics
● How to randomize questions
● How to edit test option (number of attempts, timer, forced completion, display dates, due dates, and results)

There are other benefits to using online exams in Canvas. The Speedgrader features allows instructors to type responses more efficiently, providing substantive feedback when appropriate. Multiple choice and true/false type Questions are graded automatically and sent directly to the gradebook. Exams and grades are preserved for future reference—for example, the next time a student asks for a letter of recommendation.

LSA has also added a security feature to lock down the testing environment and preserve academic integrity.

To explore more about using exams in Canvas, please attend one of our Canvas Quiz workshops listed below, or contact an ISS consultant at 734.615.0099 or lsa-iss-ltc@umich.edu.

Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED. STS Speaker. All in the Family: U.S. Demography and the Origins of Neoliberalism
2020-03-30 16:00 - 17:30 | Tisch Hall - 1014
Neoliberalism is generally understood as an intellectual and political project to retool regulation to protect capital. Consequently, scholars of neoliberalism have traced its progenitors and principles to the disciplines of economics and law. But new scholarship suggests compellingly that neoliberalism is not only a philosophy of government and markets but also a philosophy of care—one that upholds the private family (in lieu of the state) as the ultimate provider and underwriter of that care. Seen in this light, an alternative history of proto-neoliberal ideas reveals itself among a corpus of social scientists whose work has gone unremarked in the historiography of those ideas: demographers.

This talk reframes postwar U.S. demography as a crucible in which the ideal of “family responsibility” for the costs of human welfare was first forged, and global “family planning” as the technoscientific project through which that principle was eventually—and powerfully—instantiated.

Bio: Savina Balasubramanian is assistant professor of Sociology and Affiliate Faculty in Women’s Studies and Gender Studies at Loyola University Chicago. She is a historical sociologist of gender and science in transnational perspective. Her current book manuscript, Intimate Investments: The Science and Politics of Family Planning in Cold War India, tells the story of how American demographers pursued family planning in non-aligned India as an effort to serve U.S. goals to stifle the formation of a robust welfare state in the country—and how the Indian state implemented family planning in ways that conformed to and departed from demographers’ visions.

Other:Integrating cryogenic ion chemistry and optical spectroscopy: A new tool to capture the molecular level mechanics driving bulk behavior
2020-03-30 16:00 - 17:30 | Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640
The coupling between ambient ionization sources, developed for mass spectrometric analysis of biomolecules, and cryogenic ion processing, originally designed to study interstellar chemistry, creates a new and general way to capture transient chemical species and elucidate their structures with optical spectroscopies. Advances in non-linear optics over the past decade allow single-investigator, table top lasers to access radiation from 550 cm-1 in the infrared to the vacuum ultraviolet. When spectra are acquired using predissociation of weakly bound rare gas âtags,â the resulting patterns are directly equivalent to absorption spectra of target ions at temperatures below 10 K, and quenched close to their global minimum energy geometries. Taken together, what emerges is a new and powerful structural capability that augments the traditional tools available in high resolution mass spectrometry. Currently, these methods are being exploited to monitor chemical and physical processes in assemblies with well-defined temperatures and compositions. Recent applications, ranging from the mechanisms of small molecule activation by homogeneous catalysts to the microscopic mechanics underlying the ultrafast spectral diffusion in water, emphasize the generality and utility of the methods in contemporary chemistry.

Livestream / Virtual:Nationalism in Burma: From the Personal to Systemic
2020-03-30 19:30 - 21:00 | Off Campus Location
The idea of a unanimous Burmese identity is flawed and presents a rocky foundation for the nation-state of Myanmar. By exploring broader patterns in Asia and connecting them back to Myanmar, we can understand how the rise of nationalism in the country, especially extremist Buddhist movements, obscures its diversity and attempts to rewrite history.

Rotem Weinberg, conductor, CSO
Elias Miller, assistant conductor, CSO
Régulo Stabilito, Christopher Gaudreault, and Leonard Bopp, conductors, CPO

Pre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

The Campus Symphony Orchestra presents a program of popular orchestral works. The program features Antonin Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 "From the New World,” which describes Dvořák 's new life in America. Evoking Native-American chant, work-songs, spirituals, and Czech folk music, it is one of the most tuneful and ear-catching symphonies in the repertoire. Aaron Copland's “Buckaroo Holiday" from the ballet Rodeo opens the program with upbeat rhythms and old cowboy songs. Samuel Barber's lesser-known First Essay follows, combining pensive reflections with urban agitation.

The Campus Philharmonia Orchestra presents a colorful program inspired in dances. The journey starts with the Bohemian rhythms of Smetana’s Three Dances from The Bartered Bride: The “Polka”, the “Furiant” and the “Dance of the Comedians.” The next piece on the program is Gabriel Faure’s elegant and processional, Pavane. The “Waltz of the Flowers” from the popular and celebrated Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky continues the program, which ends with the Russian folk flavor of the “Polovtsian Dances” from Prince Igor by Alexander Borodin.

Class / Instruction:The Use of Medieval Mythology in Current Political Culture and Propaganda with Martin Shichtman
2020-03-31 10:00 - 12:00 | Off Campus Location
Professor Shichtman studies the ways by which medieval symbols have been embraced by political movements to represent uncorrupted purity. What’s different about recent evocations of knightly signage is their visibility on the Internet where they have become weaponized to attract members and demean enemies.

The goal of the lecture is first to discuss symbols in the medieval period. The professor will then discuss how such symbols have resurfaced in the Nazi era and in the contemporary environment to serve the political and propaganda goals of various movements.

Dr. Martin B. Shichtman is Director of the Center for Jewish Studies and Professor of English Language and Literature at Eastern Michigan University. He has been a fellow at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and at Brandeis University’s Schusterman Institute for Israel Studies. Dr. Shichtman has co-authored two books, co-edited two collections, and published more than forty scholarly articles. He has presented more than 100 papers at international, national, and regional conferences. He is the recipient of EMU’s Distinguished Faculty Award for Teaching and the Eastern Michigan University Alumni Association Award for Teaching Excellence.

Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED - LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Constructing a China: Nationalism and Culture in Modern History
2020-03-31 12:00 - 13:30 | Weiser Hall - Room 110
Unfortunately and due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been cancelled.

During the past three decades, China has witnessed an enormous growth of intellectual interest in defining a Chinese cultural identity. At the center of this trend lies a claim that China’s future ought to be rooted in China’s own cumulative civilization, especially in the Confucian learning traditions. This exceptionalist turn in intellectual culture has provided a new legitimizing ideology that the Chinese Communist Party has quickly adopted to reinvent itself as the inheritor of China’s cultural traditions. Making sense of this contemporary turn requires us to understand the deeper roots of modern Chinese national thought. Different from the dominant view that modern Chinese nationalism is a product of Western-style modernization, this talk explores how the search for a Chinese cultural identity became central to the debates over political system and moral values in China in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. If “cultural identity” was an answer, what was the question? Were there alternatives?

Wen Yu is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD in History from Harvard University in 2018. Her research focuses on China’s social and political thought, ideological movements, and intellectual culture from the seventeenth century to the present. Her dissertation, "The Search for a Chinese Way in the Modern World: From the Rise of Evidential Learning to the Birth of Chinese Cultural Identity,” explores the roots and development of modern Chinese exceptionalism by tracing how the search for a Chinese cultural identity has become central to the intellectual debates over shared values in modern China. Her dissertation was awarded the 2017 Harold K. Gross Dissertation Prize.

Other:Discovering New Chemistry in the Microbial World
2020-03-31 16:00 - 17:30 | Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640
Microbial natural products serve as a dominant source of pharmaceutical compounds and comprise some of our most celebrated cures. Recent studies, however, have been plagued by the frequent rediscovery of old molecules. The underlying reason is that the vast majority of natural product biosynthetic genes in a given bacterium are not significantly expressed, when cultured under standard laboratory conditions. These so-called âsilentâ or âcrypticâ gene clusters represent a large reservoir of bioactive molecules and methods that access them would have a profound impact on natural products research and thereby on drug discovery. In this talk, I will present new strategies that my group has developed for activating silent biosynthetic gene clusters. Application of these approaches to diverse bacteria has unveiled not only the products of silent gene clusters, but also small molecule elicitors, which in most cases are growth-inhibitory or antibiotic in nature. These insights have led to the idea that old antibiotics may be used to find new ones. In addition, my group has been engaged in elucidating new transformations carried out by metalloenzymes during natural product biosynthesis. Recent reactions that we have discovered, along with proposed mechanisms, will be presented as well.

Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED - Calderón y el deporte sacramental: *la Loa del juego de la pelota*
2020-03-31 16:30 - 18:00 | Modern Languages Building - RLL Commons
Spanish playwright Calderón de la Barca (1600-1681) used the *juego de la pelota (Jeu de paume)* as a very effective strategy to explain the doctrinal essence of his auto sacramental *La cura y la enfermedad.* His aim was to capture the audience's attention and to persuade the less pious spectators with a brief introductory piece on a very appealing pastime. The lecture examines the social, doctrinal and courtly values of this little-known *Loa.*

Co-sponsored by Medieval and Early Modern Studies.

- Understand the key components of a strong counteroffer
- Identify resources to aid you in determining the monetary worth of your experience

Workshop / Seminar:SUSPENDED | Worthy Bodies: Celebrating Transgender & Nonbinary Presentations
2020-03-31 18:00 - 20:00 | School of Social Work Building - TBA
The in-person piece of this event has been cancelled and online options are being considered. This page will be updated as soon as decisions are made.

This Trans Day of Visibility, come celebrate the varied ways transgender and nonbinary people show up! In this workshop, we'll be talking about things like makeup, clothes, and accessories and how those can affirm one's identity, while acknowledging the barriers that prevent some in the community from presenting their most authentic self.

If you can, wear an article of clothing, accessory, or outfit that validates your identity and get a chance to tell its story! This will be an affirming and celebratory space for however you present, no matter your identity. We, CAPS, and QAC are all eager to see you!

This event is free and open to all. There will be an intentional focus on the experiences of transfemminine, AMAB nonbinary, and People of Color and those who identify as such are strongly encouraged to come and to speak if desired.

Lecture / Discussion:"Promoting Wellness Through the Charitable Food System"
2020-03-31 18:30 - 20:00 | Off Campus Location - Auditorium B
UPDATE: All remaining Food Literacy for All sessions will take place virtually starting on Tuesday, March 17. Community members will still be able to tune in at 6:30pm here: https://zoom.us/j/998944566

The US charitable food system is a network of food banks, food pantries, and meal programs that distributes billions of pounds of food to households experiencing food insecurity. Historically, the primary metric of success within this system was the number of pounds of food distributed, with limited attention to nutritional quality. However, in recognition of the high rates of diet-related illnesses among the people receiving this food, there is a growing movement to measure nutritional quality and promote healthier options. This presentation will describe efforts at the national, state, local, and community levels to measure and encourage the distribution of healthier foods, as well as research strategies to evaluate the impact of these changes. Finally, lessons learned and friendly advice for new researchers interested in this topic will be shared.

Fair / Festival:(CANCELLED) Palomitas Cineclub: Festival de cine presents El lugar más pequeño (The Tiniest Place)
2020-03-31 19:00 - 21:30 | MLB 1220, Lecture Room 1
"On the surface The Tiniest Place is the story of Cinquera, a village literally wiped off the official map during El Salvador's 12-year civil war. But on a deeper level it is a story about the ability to rise, to rebuild and reinvent oneself after a tragedy. Holding the past and present in focus together, the film takes us to the tiny village nestled in the mountains amidst the humid Salvadoran jungle, while villagers, survivors of the war's massacres, recount their journey home at war's end. When they first returned their village no longer existed."In Spanish with English subtitles.Dirección, Tatiana Huezo Sánchez, 2011.

Lecture / Discussion:POSTPONED- The Age of Surveillance Capitalism
2020-03-31 19:00 - 21:00 | Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Auditorium
Lecture, Book Sales and Signing

In her book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, scholar and sociologist Shoshana Zuboff posits a detailed examination of the unprecedented power of surveillance capitalism, by which our personal information, monetized and exploited by big tech companies, is then used to predict and shape our behaviors. In this frank and necessarily lucid talk, Zuboff defines the terms of surveillance capitalism as a new economic system, pioneered at Google and later Facebook, in much the same way that mass-production and managerial capitalism were pioneered at Ford and General Motors a century before. Zuboff speaks urgently to our need to protect ourselves in this unprecedented age, and not try to resist or strike in the ways we did a century ago. Google, Amazon and now fallen behemoths like Cambridge-Analytica aren’t going anywhere, but as Zuboff expansively demonstrates, we can create countermeasures to stave off the monopolistic workings of these companies. We have the power to demand more from these seemingly all-powerful corporations. If they want what we provide (data), they in turn will have to change their usage tactics. The citizen desire and the leverage is here, Zuboff argues—and it’s in the companies’ best interests to change. Rather than facing the subject with worry or paranoia, Zuboff argues for us to pay attention, resist habituation, and come up with novel, innovative responses to the issue of surveillance capitalism, as novel a system as we are likely to know.

Exhibition:CANCELLED - CREES Pop-Up Exhibit. Brodsky on the Horizon
2020-04-01 08:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-02 08:00 - 17:00, 2020-04-03 08:00 - 17:00 | Weiser Hall - International Institutue Gallery, 547 Weiser Hall
This exhibit has been postponed due to COVID-19. We are working to reschedule Gluklya's campus visit, but in the meantime, enjoy this interview which was recently conducted by our alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79), curator and art advisor of Galerie Blue Square: https://youtu.be/QHO-gCuWQjY.

In "Brodsky on the Horizon" Gluklya will show the video from her latest project, "Carnival of Oppressed Feelings," which was last exhibited in 2019 at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Several examples of her "Utopian Clothes," previously used in performances and workshops, works on paper and other selected videos will be displayed as well. These works will visualize the artist's personal connection to Joseph Brodsky’s poems and writings. The exhibit will also depict Joseph Brodsky's time at the University of Michigan, through reproduced photographs from the Ardis Records in Special Collections of the Hatcher Library.

Gluklya (Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskaya) is a visual and performance artist. Her manifesto states: “The place of the artist is on the side of the weak.” She uses clothing, installations, video, participatory projects, text, and research to develop a concept of fragility. For Gluklya, fragility is interpreted not as “delicate beauty” but as “invisible strength.” Her work explores topics of social exclusion, untapped intuitive knowledge, mind-body connections, violation of human rights, and stereotypes. Considered a pioneer of Russian performance art, Gluklya is a co-founder of the Factory of Found Clothes (FFC) and the group Chto Delat (What is to be done?). In 2012, FFC became the Utopian Unemployment Union, a project that unites art, social science, and progressive pedagogy to give people from all social backgrounds an opportunity to make art together. Today, the artist participates in many international shows including the 56th edition of the Venice Biennale (2015) and Positions #4 at the Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands (2018-19). She has been awarded numerous art prizes and grants, including a fellowship from the Joseph Brodsky Fellowship Memorial Fund in 2014 and support from the Mondriaan Fund for recent projects.

Presented in partnership with the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series.

Since 2004, Dr. Albats has hosted “Absolute Albats,” a talk show on “Echo Moskvy." She graduated from Moscow State University and received her Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard University. She has been a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) since its founding in 1996. Albats taught at Yale from 2003 to 2004 and was also a full-time professor at the Moscow Higher School of Economics, where she taught institutional theory of the state and bureaucracy until her courses were canceled at the request of top Kremlin officials in 2011. Albats is the author of four books, including one on the history of the Russian political police, the KGB.

Lecture / Discussion:CANCELED: MIPSE Seminar | Journey to the Sun
2020-04-01 15:30 - 16:30 | Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - 1005
Abstract:
NASA Heliophysics research studies a vast system stretching from the Sun to Earth to far beyond the edge of the planets. Studying this system – much of it driven by the Sun’s constant outpouring of solar wind – not only helps us understand fundamental infor-mation about how the universe works, but also helps protect our technology and astronauts in space. NASA seeks knowledge of near-Earth space, because, when extreme, space weather can interfere with our com-munications, satellites and power grids. The study of the Sun and space can also teach us more about how stars contribute to the habitability of planets through-out the universe.
Mapping out this interconnected system requires a holistic study of the Sun’s influence on space, Earth and other planets. NASA has a fleet of spacecraft stra-tegically placed throughout our heliosphere – from Parker Solar Probe at the Sun observing the very start of the solar wind, to satellites around Earth, to the far-thest human-made object, Voyager, which is sending back observations on interstellar space. Each mission is positioned at a critical, well-thought out vantage point to observe and understand the flow of energy and particles throughout the solar system, and all helping us untagle the effects of the star we live with.

About the speaker:
Dr. Nicola Fox is the Heliophysics Division Director in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC. Until August 2018, Dr. Fox worked at the Applied Physics Lab at the Johns Hopkins University where she was the Chief Scientist for Heliophysics and the project scientist for NASA’s Parker Solar Probe. Dr. Fox served as the deputy project scientist for the Van Allen Probes, and the operations scientist for the International Solar Terrestrial Physics program. Fox received her BS in Physics and PhD in Space and Atmospheric Physics from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in London. She received an MS in Telematics and Satellite Communications from the University of Surrey.

Workshop / Seminar:POSTPONED: Speaking American English
2020-04-01 15:30 - 16:30 | V. Vaughan - UCLL
ALL UCLL EVENTS HAVE BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.
The workshop will run from February 5 to April 15, 2020. Participants meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. There will be no meeting on March 4.
If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED - Lecture | Sojourners, Smugglers, and Dubious Citizens: The Politics of Armenian Migration to North America, 1885-1915
2020-04-01 17:00 - 18:30 | Weiser Hall - Room 555
Unfortunately, and due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been cancelled.

Between 1885 and 1915, roughly eighty thousand Armenians migrated between the Ottoman Empire and North America. For much of this period, Ottoman state authorities viewed Armenian migrants, particularly those who returned to the empire after sojourns abroad, as a political threat to the empire’s security. Istanbul worked vigorously to prevent Armenians both from migrating to and returning from North America. In response, dense smuggling networks emerged to assist migrants in bypassing this migration ban. The dynamics that shaped the evolution of these networks resemble those that drive the phenomenon of migrant smuggling in the present day. Furthermore, migrants who returned home found themselves stuck in an uneasy legal limbo as both Ottoman and United States governments disavowed them as citizens, leaving them vulnerable to deportation from their own ancestral lands. As this talk contends, the Armenian migratory experience in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries both parallels and sheds light on themes such as smuggling, deportation, and the criminalization of migration, that are central to the issue of global migration in the 21st century.

During these decades, Jews vigorously fought over religion, politics, migration, and their relation to the state and to one another. Todd Endelman and Zvi Gitelman’s selections capture the variety, breadth, and depth of Jewish creativity in those tempestuous years. The texts, translated from many languages, span a wide range of politics, culture, literature, and art. Join Todd Endelman and Zvi Gitelman in a fascinating discussion of the volume and enjoy a sample of its riches.

New York-based artist Abigail DeVille creates immersive works and installations designed to bring attention to forgotten stories, such as with the sculpture she built on the site of a former African American burial ground in Harlem. With family roots reaching back at least two generations, DeVille’s work about New York City is both personal and political. Acting as an archaeologist, DeVille collects and reallocates found materials to give physical presence to unspoken stories and forgotten pasts. Her work often focuses around themes of displacement, migration, marginalization, and cultural invisibility. As an extension of her installation practice, DeVille also designs sets for theatrical productions, including the Stratford Festival in Canada and Harlem Stage. Her work is part of some of the most prestigious collections in the world and has been exhibited internationally, including at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; the Pinchuk Art Centre in Ukraine; the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York; and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. An honors fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard, a Creative Capital grantee, and an OBIE Award for Design recipient, DeVille is currently in residence at the American Academy in Rome.

Co-presented with the U-M Institute for Humanities, presenting No Space Hidden (Under Heaven), an exhibition of work by Abigail DeVille, on view at the IH Gallery April 1–May 7, 2020.

Lecture / Discussion:[POSTPONED] Deep Regionalism: Discovering Great Lakes Literature
2020-04-01 18:00 - 19:30 | Ross School of Business - Blau Colloquium
*** Update 3/11/20: This event has been postponed. It will be rescheduled at a later date. ***

The French, English, and American literatures of the Great Lakes begin in the sixteenth century. The American continues into the present. Native literatures, in several languages from three major language families, are far older and continue as well. These are true maritime literatures that are too frequently described as Midwestern, but have nothing to do with farming and little to do with cities except as ports.

Lakes literatures are international, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual because the lakes have always been a commercial highway, used for resource extraction and commodity handling by several Native nations and three countries. They were the site of the first métis culture in North America. Their ease of access allowed earlier women writers to experience the frontier without the difficulties and dangers inherent in a trip to the far west, while 19th and 20th century commercial traffic provided work for women in lighthouses and on ships. Their shared border with Canada allowed them to be a vital link in the Underground Railroad, and their maritime traditions of craft skill provided jobs for people of color when remunerative work on shore was closed to them. Lakes literature is a record of lives on the lakes over centuries, tracing war, industrialization, environmental degradation, and recovery.

This lecture is part of the Clements Library's Randolph G. Adams Lecture Series and is co-sponsored by the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, Great Lakes Theme Semester. Victoria Brehm, PhD, is an author and researcher of Great Lakes literary and cultural history. She recently was awarded the Patrick Labadie Award for Historic Preservation from the Association for Great Lakes Maritime History in recognition of her many years of making neglected and unknown texts about the lakes available to readers.

Fair / Festival:(CANCELLED) Palomitas Cineclub: Festival de cine presents Tempestad (Tempest)
2020-04-01 19:00 - 21:30 | Modern Languages Building
Tempest (Tempestad)
Tatiana Huezo / Mexico / 2016 / 105 minA poignant doc by celebrated filmmaker Tatiana Huezo, Tempest narrates the parallel journey of two women. Mirror-like, it reflects the impact of the violence and impunity that afflict Mexico. Through their voices, we are drawn into the heart of their feelings, steeped in loss and pain, but also love, dignity, and resistance.On a normal day on her way to work, Miriam is arrested on suspicion of human trafficking. While the government reports that a criminal gang has been rounded up, in reality a group of innocent Mexicans has fallen victim to the vagaries of a corrupt system. After her detention, she is handed over to a private prison controlled by the Organized Crime, where she is forced to pay a monthly fee to remain alive.Adela works as a clown in a traveling circus. Ten years ago, her life was irreversibly transformed; every night during the show, she evokes her missing daughter, Monica.Tempest has screened at more than 60 film festivals worldwide, collecting awards in Berlin, Lima, Havana, Madrid, Cork, and many others. 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. All films will be screened in their original languages with English subtitles.

Each screening will be followed by an informal discussion session during which the audience is invited to discuss the film.We welcome everyone to participate in a space of cultural engagement where undergraduate and graduate students can come together to practice their language skills and partake in critical discussions of cinema. *The Spanish Film Club Festival Grant was made possible with the support of Pragda, SPAIN arts & culture, and the Secretary of State for Culture of Spain.

Ceremony / Service:CANCELLED - Jaclyn Friedman's "Believe Me" Book Reading & Signing
2020-04-01 19:00 - 20:30 | Off Campus Location
University Students Against Rape, Standing Tough Against Rape Society, and Literati Bookstore are delighted to welcome Jaclyn Friedman to the downtown branch of the Ann Arbor District Library for a reading and signing in support of her latest publication, Believe Me: How Trusting Women Can Change the World. This event is free and open to the public. A Q&A and book signing will follow the reading.

About the book:

In Believe Me, contributors ask and answer the crucial question: What would happen if we didn’t just believe women, but acted as though they matter? If we take women’s experiences of online harassment seriously, it will transform the internet. If we listen to and center survivors, we could revolutionize our systems of justice. If we believe Black women when they talk about pain, we will save countless lives. With contributions from many of the most important voices in feminism today, Believe Me is an essential roadmap for the #MeToo era and beyond.

Jaclyn Friedman is a writer, educator and activist, and creator of four books Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape (one of Publishers’ Weekly’s Top 100 Books of 2009), What You Really Want: The Smart Girl’s Shame-Free Guide to Sex & Safety, Unscrewed: Women, Sex, Power and How to Stop Letting the System Screw Us All, and her latest, Believe Me: How Trusting Women Can Change the World. Her podcast, also called, Unscrewed, is paving new paths to sexual liberation, and was named one of the Best Sex Podcasts by both Marie Claire and Esquire.

2020-04-02 10:00 - 11:30 | Off Campus Location
This illustrated lecture explores the power of African art through the prism of speaker Nii Quarcoopome’s personal experience.

Thursday, April 2, 2020: 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. EST | VIRTUAL

Hear from H&M Senior Business Controller, Elliot Faulk, during this virtual Alumni Connections session about his own career experience in international retail.

As an LSA undergrad, Faulk always knew he wanted a career that would take him abroad. “I was interested in the retail industry—one of the world’s largest industries—and interested both from the production side and the customer-facing side.” He landed a position in product development at Macy’s headquarters in New York City, a role that focused on international sourcing. Three years later, he sought a retailer that had a large global footprint —H&M—where he joined the fashion retailer’s team as a business controller and made a home in Stockholm, Sweden.

This is an informal, non-recruiting environment where you can ask questions and explore your interest in an industry with an alum.

You should attend this workshop if you are:
A liberal arts and/or sciences student
Interested in exploring the possibility of a career abroad
Open to learning about roles in the retail space like product development, business planning, and financial operations

What you’ll gain by attending:
Take advantage of an opportunity to form connections with a recent LSA graduate who majored in International Studies in 2014
Explore what a global career in the retail industry is like and determine if it aligns with your interests
Gain insight into what it takes to have an international career in the retail space.

Lecture / Discussion:[POSTPONED] Faculty as Part of Campus Shared Leadership for Change
2020-04-02 12:00 - 14:00 | Michigan League - Hussey Room
Fundamental changes are unlikely to occur on college campuses without faculty buy-in, support and leadership. Faculty leaders are often much more compelling to their colleagues given their resonance for understanding the lives of other faculty. When changes such as diversity, evidence based teaching practices, and interdisciplinarity are proposed they are much more likely to be scaled if faculty leaders take up the mantle of change. In this session, we explore the role of faculty leaders in shared leadership processes and ways to encourage and support faculty change agents. Drawing on studies of campuses that have promoted key changes, the lessons learned for other campuses will be distilled.

Workshop / Seminar:CANCELED: EEB Thursday Seminar: Ecological drivers of plant mating system evolution
2020-04-02 16:00 - 17:00 | Biological Sciences Building - 1060
The events that occur during reproduction play a critical role in determining the distribution of genetic and phenotypic variance within populations and thus their potential to adapt and persist. Understanding the forces shaping the evolution of mating patterns and the diversity of traits that influence mating success in the natural world is a fundamental problem in evolutionary biology. Plants, in particular, show an impressive amount of diversity in floral form and the degree to which they outcross or self-pollinate. In this seminar, I will share a series of empirical and modeling studies investigating how the pollination environment drives the evolution of floral traits that promote either outcrossing or selfing.

Lecture / Discussion:Live Event Cancelled - CREES 60th Anniversary/Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series. The Place of the Artist is on the Side of the Weak: A Manifesto for the 21st Century
2020-04-02 17:10 - 19:00 | Off Campus Location
We unfortunately had to postpone the visit of Gluklya, the CREES 60th Anniversary/Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series speaker, due to COVID-19. We are working to reschedule her campus visit, but in the meantime, enjoy this interview which was recently conducted by our alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79), curator and art advisor of Galerie Blue Square: https://youtu.be/QHO-gCuWQjY.

Gluklya (Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskaya) is a visual and performance artist. Her manifesto states: “The place of the artist is on the side of the weak.” She uses clothing, installations, video, participatory projects, text, and research to develop a concept of fragility. For Gluklya, fragility is interpreted not as “delicate beauty” but as “invisible strength.” Her work explores topics of social exclusion, untapped intuitive knowledge, mind-body connections, violation of human rights, and stereotypes. Considered a pioneer of Russian performance art, Gluklya is a co-founder of the Factory of Found Clothes (FFC) and the group Chto Delat (What is to be done?). In 2012, FFC became the Utopian Unemployment Union, a project that unites art, social science, and progressive pedagogy to give people from all social backgrounds an opportunity to make art together. Today, the artist participates in many international shows including the 56th edition of the Venice Biennale (2015) and Positions #4 at the Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands (2018-19). She has been awarded numerous art prizes and grants, including a fellowship from the Joseph Brodsky Fellowship Memorial Fund in 2014 and support from the Mondriaan Fund for recent projects.

Presented in partnership with the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series.

From dissidents to villains to superheroes, how are Muslim characters written--and how does the public read them--in comic books today? This workshop explores the roles open to Muslim characters in serialized comics and graphic novels. The medium of serialized comics, commercialized in the twentieth century by mainstream comics publishers such as Marvel and DC, and epitomized by their respective superhero universes, has long been associated with a lack of racial and religious diversity, the sexualization of female characters, and a reader base that is stereotypically young, male, and white. Minority characters were often limited to tokenized villains or sidekicks designed for comic relief. But the contemporary young Muslim female superhero Ms. Marvel symbolizes a comics landscape that is changing. In the contexts of the Gulf Wars, 9/11, the Arab Spring, the Palestinian conflict, ongoing civil unrest in the Middle East, and worldwide refugee migrant crises, writers and artists from the Muslim and Arab worlds, and others writing journalistically and historically about those locales, are at the forefront of graphic medium literary production.

Graphic novels and comics by and about Muslims and Arabs comprise a growing and distinctive narrative strain within comics studies—one that this workshop of comics and Muslim and Arab Studies artists and scholars seeks to investigate.

Keynote speaker and Eisner Award-winning comics artist and science fiction and fantasy author Saladin Ahmed (*Throne of the Crescent Moon*, *Miles Morales: Spider-Man*, *Black Bolt*, *Exiles*) will speak about his new work for Marvel and other enterprises.

Chris Gavaler (*On the Origin of Superheroes: From the Big Bang to Action Comics No. 1*, 2015) explores the Islamicist history of the 20th-century superhero.

Esra Mirze Santesso (*Disorientation: Muslim Identity in Contemporary Anglophone Literature*, 2013) discusses human rights discourse in narratives of war and dissidence in Iran and Kashmir.

Karla Mallette (*European Modernity and the Arab Mediterranean*, 2010) reports on resistance to Muslim and other minority identity politics from some comics readers.

Aliyah Khan (*Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean*, 2020) examines orientalist representations of Muslim female superheroes.

The presenters bring postcolonial, decolonial, comics studies, and historicizing methodologies to bear on understanding commonalities and differences among Islamic, Muslim, and Arab graphic narratives, reading them as transnational works that, as many of their subjects do, cross borders and resist authoritarian states.

Cosponsored by: The Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, The Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum, Middle East Studies, and Arab and Muslim American Studies

Title:
A Summary of Operations Research and Industrial Engineering Tools for Fighting COVID-19

Abstract:
Operations Research (OR) and Industrial Engineering (IE) approaches are widely used in industry and play important roles in improving the design and operations of many standard corporate activities such as supply chain management, job/staff scheduling, healthcare, mobility and transportation systems, energy systems, facility location, and resource allocation. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers, companies, community workers and individual households have been designing new systems and procedures to fight the virus. Many problems related to optimizing these systems and their operations can be tackled by extending the traditional OR and IE approaches with new objectives, constraints, and input data. The purpose of this talk is to summarize potential scenarios one may encounter during the prevention, disease control, intervention and recovery phases during COVID-19 outbreaks, and point out the OR and IE models that can be applied for solving the related problems. Using these techniques, policymakers can better prepare for rare but catastrophic events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can better inform the public to perform “social distancing”, can better utilize resources and ensure medical supplies during the outbreak, and can improve the quality of life and work to mitigate economic losses. This talk is based on a recent article: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~siqian/docs/or-ie-fighting-covid19_v1.pdf

Lecture / Discussion:[CANCELLED]. CSEAS Lecture Series. Islamizing a Sacred Hindu-Javanese Text: The Story of Jimat Kalimasada in Javanese Wayang Puppet Play
2020-04-03 12:00 - 13:30 | Weiser Hall - Room 110
Sumarsam, Winslow-Kaplan Professor of Music, Wesleyan University

Before the arrival of Islam, Javanese people had lived in Hindu–Javanese hybrid culture. The Islamization of Java has given rise to not only the expansion of different groups of people with diverse syncretistic religion and culture, but also rich variations in the content and context of Java-Islamic cultural performance genres and ideologies. Believing in the performing arts as one of the major venues for the blending of beliefs and practices, my presentation discusses a particular wayang story, Jimat Kalimasada, to show the complex processes of religious and cultural transformation from Hindu-Javanese to Islam-Javanese world of view.

Sumarsam has played Javanese gamelan since childhood. He is also a keen amateur dhalang (puppeteer) of wayang puppet play. He holds a BA degree from Akademi Seni Karawitan Indonesia, MA from Wesleyan, and PhD from Cornell. Currently holding the status of Winslow-Kaplan Professor of Music, he has taught at Wesleyan since 1972. His research on the history, theory, and performance practice of gamelan and wayang, and on Indonesia-Western encounter theme has resulted the publication of numerous articles and two books: Gamelan: Cultural Interaction and Musical Development in Central Java (1995) and Javanese Gamelan and the West (2013).

Sumarsam's recent research focuses on the intersections between religion and performing arts, examining discourses of transculturalism, the performing arts, and Islam among the Javanese. He is the recipient of a number of fellowship grants and awards, including the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies fellowship (2016-17), Indonesian Bintang Satyalencana Cultural Award (2017), the International Gamelan Festival Literacy Award (2018), and Yale Institute of Sacred Music Fellowship (2019-20). He was recently named the 2018 honorary membership of the Society for Ethnomusicology.

Performance:*CANCELED* Department of Performing Arts Technology Seminar: Jennifer Hsieh
2020-04-03 14:30 | Earl V. Moore Building - Glenn E. Watkins Lecture Hall
**In accordance with the Unversity-wide measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, this performance has been canceled.**

When is a sound heard as noise? How does one communicate what is noise to others? Drawing upon ethnographic research on Taiwan’s present-day noise control system, this talk examines the transformation of aural experience into contrasting modes of representation: decibel measurements and audio recordings. While decibel measurements are valued by government officials as objective, quantifiable indicators of noise, audio recordings are commonly used by Taipei city residents as an alternative, contextualized method to document the presence of noise. The emergence of two competing forms of “making noise” calls attention to the unique challenge of reproducing aural experience so that it may be recognizable and shared by others. In this talk, I argue that Taipei residents and environmental inspectors participate in an economy of machine listening, consisting of the decibel meter and home recording device, that aims to reconfigure auditory experience from the individual to the social. While acoustic ecologist R. Murray Schafer has drawn attention to the denigrating effects of mechanical reproduction on the auditory environment, residents and state actors in Taiwan actually come to know noise through the tools of mechanical reproduction.

Jennifer Hsieh is currently working on a book project, tentatively entitled From Festival to Decibel: Making Noise in Urban Taiwan, which is a historical and ethnographic study of the scientific, bureaucratic, and audiovisual practices underlying the production of environmental noise from early twentieth-century Taiwan to the present. Dr. Hsieh examines the efforts of residents, policy makers, and environmental inspectors to transform the fleeting qualities of sound into a regulatory object. By analyzing noise control practices of three separate political regimes in Taiwan, Dr. Hsieh investigates how perceptual acts of hearing and listening are tied to geopolitical questions of citizenship and belonging.

Dr. Hsieh has worked in a number of capacities to facilitate equity and inclusion for students, such as tutoring bilingual youth, developing leadership skills among underrepresented students, and mentoring international students. Dr. Hsieh's background in community-based public service in Dallas and Boston further informs Dr. Hsieh's commitment to supporting students from diverse backgrounds, including those from first-generation and immigrant households. In Dr. Hsieh's teaching and mentoring, Dr. Hsieh work towards providing an inclusive learning environment for students by attending to different learning styles, linguistic competencies, and knowledge practices.

Workshop / Seminar:A Data Scientist Plays Games
2020-04-03 15:00 - 16:00
This event will be hosted online via Zoom

A Data Scientist Plays Games: This is a presentation broken down into two parts. The first is how to use mathematical techniques to analyze classic card and board games, and the second part is how data science techniques were applied in real life to support games on the Facebook platform. This presentation is about 1.5 hours, with a target audience probably suited to CS/software engineering. It’s light-hearted and fun.

Nick Berry, a native of the UK, has lived in Seattle for the last 25 years. He was educated as a rocket scientist and aircraft designer, graduating with a Masters Degree in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering.

Upon graduation, he joined a group of friends to form a software company, specializing in electronic mapping and route planning. This company was grown organically, and earned an unprecedented number of awards and accolades, including the British Design Award and The Queen’s Award for Technology, presented by Her Majesty in 1991. In 1994 Nick was recognized by the Sunday Times Magazine as “One of the top 50 entrepreneurs of the decade”. In 1994, after the company had grown to 50 people worldwide, it was sold to Microsoft.

Nick moved to America with the sale and spent 14 years working for Microsoft, the last ten of which were in the Microsoft Casual Game team. During his tenure, he filed a variety of patents for Microsoft, and represented Microsoft at various conferences and speaking engagements.

After leaving Microsoft, he joined RealNetworks to work as the GM of customer analytics for their games division, GameHouse.

After GameHouse, Nick spent five years as a Data Scientist, working for Facebook in their Seattle office.

In addition to his engineering expertise, Nick is passionate about data privacy and holds a CIPP qualification from the International Association of Privacy Professionals. He is an active member of the privacy community and speaks at various events about the legal and ethical aspects of data collection, use, and destruction.

In July 2013, Nick gave a TEDx talk about Passwords and the Internet, and in 2015 was nominated by GeekWire as Geek-of-the-week. In 2019 he was recognized as one of the 50 over 50 in the video games industry.

Workshop / Seminar:CANCELLED: Ninth Annual Richard K. Osborn Lecture—Kairos Power: From University Conception to Mission-Driven Start-Up
2020-04-03 16:00 - 17:00 | Cooley Building - White Auditorium
Fluoride-salt cooled, high-temperature reactors (FHRs) combine existing technologies in a novel way, using high-temperature fuels from gas-cooled reactors with a low-pressure molten salt coolant. In the last decade, U.S. national laboratories and universities have addressed key scientific and technical questions for the licensing and deployment of FHRs, and have developed pre-conceptual FHR designs with different fuel geometries, core configurations, heat transport system configurations, power cycles, and power levels. Founded in 2016, Kairos Power, a mission-driven engineering company based in California, has built on the foundation laid by U.S. Department of Energy sponsored university Integrated Research Projects to design, license, and demonstrate the KP-FHR. This talk overviews the history of FHR technology and the major role played by universities, as well as Kairos Power’s mission to enable the world’s transition to clean energy.

Speaker: Per F. Peterson is the Chief Nuclear Officer for Kairos Power, where he guides nuclear technology review and advises on scientific and technical topics for KP-FHR technology development and licensing. Peterson also continues to hold the William and Jean McCallum Floyd Chair in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.

Dr. Peterson’s work has focused on high-temperature fission energy systems, as well as topics related to the safety and security of nuclear materials and waste management. Peterson’s research in the nineties contributed to the passive safety systems in the GE ESBWR and Westinghouse AP-1000 reactor designs. Peterson also participated in the development of the Generation IV Roadmap in 2002, and his 2003 Nuclear Technology article with Charles Forsberg and Paul Pickard identified salt-cooled, solid fuel reactors as a promising technology, today called fluoride salt-cooled, high temperature reactors (FHRs).

Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED - CSAS Lecture Series | The Price of Acceptability: On South Asian Inclusion and Exclusion in the US
2020-04-03 16:30 - 18:00 | Weiser Hall - Room 110
Unfortunately and due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been cancelled.

Bald will draw upon his past and ongoing historical research to trace out the ways that, for more than a century, South Asians have been simultaneously celebrated and vilified in U.S. popular culture and accepted only within narrowly and purposefully drawn limits as immigrants and citizens. He will examine a series of moments in South Asian American history - the "India Craze" at the turn of the 20th century; the shifting immigration laws of 1917 and 1965; the 1923 Supreme Court case of Bhagat Singh Thind; the 2016 presidential election - assessing how the "model minority" idea functions not simply as a myth, but as part of structures and processes of state discipline.

Vivek Bald is a scholar, filmmaker, and digital media producer whose work focuses on histories of migration and diaspora, particularly from the South Asian subcontinent. He is the author of Bengali Harlem and the Lost Histories of South Asian America (Harvard University Press, 2013), and co-editor, with Miabi Chatterji, Sujani Reddy, and Manu Vimalassery of The Sun Never Sets: South Asian Migrants in an Age of U.S. Power (NYU Press, 2013). Bald's articles and essays have appeared in Souls, Dissent, South Asian Popular Culture, and the collections Black Routes to Islam, Asian Americans in Dixie, and With Stones in Our Hands: Writings on Muslims, Racism, and Empire. His documentary films include Taxi-vala/Auto-biography (1994) and Mutiny: Asians Storm British Music (2003). Bald is currently working on a second book, The Rise and Fall of "Prince" Ranji Smile: Fantasies of India at the Dawn of the American Century, as well as the transmedia "Bengali Harlem/Lost Histories Project" which includes a feature-length documentary film, "In Search of Bengali Harlem", slated for broadcast on PBS in 2012, and an accompanying web-based community history platform. He is Associate Professor in Comparative Media Studies and Writing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a member of MIT's Open Documentary Lab.

Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: Frida Escobedo
2020-04-03 18:00 - 20:00 | Art and Architecture Building
Frida Escobedo is principal and founder of an architecture and design studio based in Mexico City. The projects produced at the studio operate within a theoretical framework that addresses time not as a historical calibration, but rather a social operation. This expanded temporal reading stems directly from Henri Bergson’s notion of ‘social time,’ and is articulated in conceptual works such as the El Eco Pavilion (2010), Split Subject (2013) and Civic Stage (2013). By these measures of practice and thought, social time unfolds across multiple subjects at multiple speeds and modes of duration.

The work developed at Frida Escobedo´s studio ranges from art installation and furniture design to residential and public buildings. The firm’s projects include ‘You know you cannot see so well as by reflection,’ a summer Pavilion designed for the central courtyard of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; the exhibition design for ‘Under the Same Sun: Art from Latin America Today,’ curated by Pablo León de la Barra and organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York in collaboration with the Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo; and ‘A very short space of time through very short times of space’, an art installation commissioned by Stanford University.

Whether working on public or private commissions, Frida Escobedo aims to make use of disuse, to find significance in the interstices of our lived environment, to give equal attention to craft and to practicality. The intention to provide possibilities for growth and flexibility can be read as much in large scale social housing projects, such as those developed for INFONAVIT, as in more modest interventions like Casa Cruz Castillo or Casa Negra.

Notable architectural projects include La Tallera, the rehabilitation of the home and studio of the seminal Mexican painter David Alfaro Siqueiros (Cuernavaca, 2012); Librería Octavio Paz (Mexico City, 2013); and the renovation of the iconic 1950s Hotel Boca Chica (Acapulco, 2010). Recent projects include ‘If we want to continue,’ an intervention at the Neutra VDL Research House in Los Angeles; “No. 9,” an exhibition at the Arthur Ross Gallery, Columbia University; and large- scale installations at the Chicago Architecture Biennial and la Biennale d'Architecture d'Orléans.

Escobedo is the recipient of the Architectural League of New York’s Young Architects Forum award (2009), the 2014 BIAU Prize, the 2016 Architectural Review Emerging Architecture Award, the 2017 Architectural League Emerging Voices Award and most recently, the 2018 Serpentine Summer Pavilion. Frida Escobedo has been a visiting professor at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (2015), Harvard Graduate School of Design (2016) and the Architectural Association of London (2016). In Fall 2017 she was named as the Howard A. Friedman Visiting Professor of Practice at UC Berkeley. During spring 2019 she was a visiting professor at RICE University and is currently teaching at Harvard Graduate School of Design.

Performance:CANCELLED - Rose Cousins
2020-04-03 20:00 - 22:00 | Off Campus Location
Rose Cousins just might be Nova Scotia's answer to Iris DeMent, or even to Kate Wolf. Says Lifestyle Nova Scotia: "Cousins writes songs strong on story, melody, and honest observations ... that demand an unaffected but beautiful voice." Her album "We Have Made a Spark" took home a Canadian Juno Award along with many other awards, including a spot on NPR's Top 10 Americana & Folk Albums list. Rose spends part of her time in Boston, where she's found strong support from the city's vibrant songwriting community, but she maintains strong ties to her Canadian roots. Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice, the songs of Rose Cousins make you feel as though she sings for you, about your life. "We develop patterns that keep us from moving forward," Rose says. "It takes a deep breath and a bucket of courage to face the uncomfortable, painful things we work so hard to avoid. Reward comes from recognizing the obstacle exists and pushing through fear." She comes to Michigan with a new album, "Bravado."

Other:Brain Busters
2020-04-04 09:00 - 12:45 | Chrysler Auditorium
Brain Busters is a great introductory event that introduces girls to computer science concepts and teaches them how to analyze and think critically when trying to come up with a solution for a variety of different problems. Brain Busters will bring together girls from all over southeast Michigan for a day of cs-related puzzle solving fun! Computers are not required! The girls will immediately be split up into groups of 3 to 4. Each group will be given a station to start at, and will rotate through each station over the day. Each station will have a different puzzle and computer science concept that the girls will have to master. We will start out with simple sorting and searching algorithms that will encourage the girls to come up with the most efficient way to go about sorting and searching. Through this activity, the girls will learn how computers “think” when they are sorting through data. The girls will also be given the chance to learn three different types of searching: linear, binary, and hashing. The next station will help the girls learn about how data in computers is stored and transmitted. This activity will be all about binary numbers. The girls will be given the task of making “binary bracelets” that spell out their initials. The third station will focus on decryption. The girls will spend some time learning about information hiding, and then will be given the opportunity to decrypt a variety of encrypted messages.The last station is based on the Travelling Salesman Problem(TSP) where the girls will learn about the problem through a hands-on activity and brainstorm different ways to solve it.

2018 | 138 Minutes | Bora Kim

Free | Open to the public | In Korean with English subtitles

“There is a certain tentativeness to the 14-year-old Eun-hee (Ji-hu Park) in writer-director Bora Kim’s sure-handed feature debut “House of Hummingbird,” a tender yet somewhat underpowered coming-of-age film set in the Seoul of 1994. Lonely, reserved, and stuck in a dysfunctional household among her frequently quarrelling parents (Seung-Yeon Lee and In-gi Jeong), her troublemaking sister Su-hee (Su-yeon Park), and bully of a brother Dae-hoon (Sang-yeon Sohn), eighth-grader Eun-hee seems to move through life involuntarily, like a bird with a pair of broken wings. And yet, she still copes with routine neglect behind a youthful shield of resilience — Kim slowly lays bare Eun-hee’s toughened spirit from a minimalist and acutely feminine perspective.” –TOMRIS LAFFLY, Variety

Other:Witness Lab Discussion: Can You Accurately Describe A Criminal? Police Sketches And Discussing Wrongful Convictions: An Interactive Experiment
2020-04-04 13:00 - 14:30 | Museum of Art
Could you describe a person you saw briefly so that a police artist could draw a recognizable sketch? Could you pick that person out of a set of photos? In this interactive session, Michigan Innocence Clinic Director Dave Moran, psychology student Aryn Margulis, and Ken Wyniemko, who was wrongfully convicted because of his resemblance to a police sketch, will engage the audience with identification experiments and present research about eyewitness identifications and how they lead to wrongful convictions.

Designed 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.

In 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.

Due 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.

Witness 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.
