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

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

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

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

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

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.

Research has demonstrated MSBR has contributed to improved behavioral outcomes including better sleep\, lower blood pressure\, and fewer worries! This workshop is for clinicians who are interested in learning more about teaching MBSR or in seeking MBSR teacher certification.\n \nThis intense\, interactive teacher training includes both experiencing sessions of MBSR and working in small groups to begin practicing teaching the MBSR program. Participants will strengthen their skills to embody a non-judgmental\, present-moment focus with an understanding of how this supports and strengthens such mind states as kindness\, compassion and equanimity. Daily meditation practice\, yoga/mindful movement\, and periods of silence are also part of the curriculum.\n \nThis training workshop is led by skilled mindfulness teacher trainers who are also experienced clinicians\, mindfulness teachers\, and retreat leaders. Join the Psych Clinic and Susan Woods\, LCSW\, a leader in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction therapy\, for this MBSR training workshop!

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

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

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207430@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

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

Ticketholders will receive more communication soon.**\n\nDepartment of Theatre & Drama\n\na play by Chay Yew\nDirected by Matthew Ozawa\n\nUsing dance\, drag\, drama\, and documentary elements\, A Beautiful Country chronicles 150 years of Asian-American immigration history. Miss Visa Denied\, a drag queen and performer\, is the narrator who guides the audience through the turbulent history of Chinese\, Filipino\, and Japanese people coming to America. Heartfelt testimonials and the dramatization of some highly vibrant and egregious pieces of propaganda showcase the provocative events that have shaped this history. Addressing issues of race\, gender\, and appropriation\, this play examines the fundamental questions surrounding the immigrant experience\, including what it means to be an American.

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. Join an UMMA docent on a tour through this eye-opening exhibition. \n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In tension with this view\, premodern Islamic chronicles tend to espouse inclusive temporalities\, while also maintaining triumphalist outlooks. Complex understandings of the past embedded in such chronicles help problematize the presumed insularity of Islam.

Else Lecture in the Humanities\n\nSummary: \nEveryone knows that a classical education equips you for whatever life may throw at you\, that Homer and Plato and Sophocles speak to the twenty-first century\, but it’s also true that ordinary life can prepare you to study the classics. Who you are when you come to a text—say\, Sophocles’ Antigone—can give you an intimate experience that you wouldn’t have had if that text had been thrust at you as “required reading” before you were ripe for it. I was in my thirties\, working as a copy editor at The New Yorker\, when I began studying modern Greek in order to travel\; I fell in love with the Aegean\, and immersed myself in classical Greek. It was a kind of therapy. When I got an opportunity to write about Greek\, thirty years after my first enchantment\, it seemed as if all my life had been leading to this. I dove into the scholarship\, reading introductions and afterwords\, footnotes\, endnotes—all the scholarly apparatus. Scholarly books put the acknowledgments first and sum up their arguments neatly in the introduction\, whereas journalists\, hoping to inject suspense\, grudgingly supply a “nut graph” and leave their acknowledgments for last. There were areas I had to acquire a deep knowledge of in order to write about superficially. Some of my favorite rabbit holes: the alphabet\, the transmission of classical texts\, Homer\, the bizarre death of Milman Parry\, code breakers who died young\, schools of translation\, gods and goddesses in the age of marketing (Apollo Electric\, Hermes Hauling\, Odyssey Phone Repair)\, the poet James Merrill (who lived in Athens as a rich young gay man)\, Freudian terminology\, U.S. towns with Greek names\, the shield of a fire chief (my father) and how it evokes Achilles and the world of the hero . . . Some of these things survived in the book as a single sentence\, some not at all. \n\nHow can a person\, condensing all her experience and following up every lead\, write something that is both accessible and serious\, neither too detailed for the nonspecialist nor too callow for the scholar? On the one hand\, I didn’t have enough classical Greek to impress a scholar\, and\, on the one hand\, I didn’t have enough modern Greek to hold my own with a native. A book that filtered Greek through me would have something to disappoint everyone. But I kept reminding myself that epic poetry and philosophy and tragedy are not solely the province of the scholar. Like the earth\, “holy and inexhaustible\,” they belong to us all.

Altered telomerase function is implicated in cancer\, aging and other human diseases. To understand telomerase\, we have defined cellular telomerase holoenzyme subunits and structures\, biochemical mechanisms that underlie the reiterative synthesis of telomeric repeats\, and cellular controls of telomerase action at telomeres. Our recent studies of have uncovered unanticipated layers of complexity in how telomerase RNA folds\, the pathways of active enzyme assembly\, and positive and negative regulation of telomerase at chromosome ends. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nKathleen Collins (UC Berkeley) UID:63637-15824834@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63637 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200313T113147 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200406T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200406T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED - Conversations on Europe.

In the face of profound\, and often state-sanctioned\, racial violence\, AAPIs have repeatedly come together to demand justice and liberation\, often in partnership with other oppressed peoples. The current political climate makes that history even more relevant as Islamophobia and the forcible detention of migrants along the US-Mexico border stir memories of Chinese Exclusion and Japanese American incarceration. In this lecture\, Dr. Fang will draw from watershed moments throughout AAPI organizing history – including the landmark Justice for Vincent Chin case that took place in Detroit in the 1980’s – to contextualize contemporary racial politics\, and will argue forcefully for why today’s generation of AAPIs must continue that tradition of political engagement in the ongoing fight for racial and social justice. \n\nThis event is a part of Asian/Pacific Islander American (A/PIA) Heritage Month which is celebrated mid-March to mid-April at the University of Michigan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207431@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

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

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

The synthesis of certain chiral amines remains a synthetic challenge. Presented herein is an unusual approach to chiral amine synthesis that utilizes the spontaneous rearrangement of allylic azides (Winstein Rearrangement). One component of the equilibrating mixture can be selectively trapped\, establishing the amine bearing stereocenter. However\, accomplishing this in practice requires high levels of selectivity and the simultaneous application of numerous control elements. Approaches to enabling selectivity will be described along with synthetic applications of the reactions\, including in the synthesis of heterocyclic products. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nJoseph Topczewski (University of Minnesota) UID:67854-16960495@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/67854 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200312T163026 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200407T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200407T133000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:[POSTPONED] Contemporary Issues Discussion: Death and Grief DESCRIPTION:* Update 3-12-20: This event has been postponed.

The medieval empires of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Tang\, a millennium and a half or so later\, were naturally utterly different in nature\, structure\, and complexity from the old Bronze-age kingdoms recorded and mythologized in the classics\, but they nonetheless operated under a sort of contractual obligation to represent their own functioning as a continuation or restoration of those mythic sagely kingdoms. This talk\, centering on medieval traditions of court speech and related aspects of examination and educational culture\, explores the processes of historical “translation” through which medieval rulers and their ministers strove to carry on this responsive and exaltative function as they understood it.\n \nRobert Ashmore is Associate Professor of Chinese in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of California\, Berkeley. His main research interests lie in the literary and scholarly traditions of early medieval to Tang and Song China\, with particular focus on questions of music and performance\, hermeneutical thought\, and commentarial practice.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

After leaving Ottoman Greater Syria\, Syrians sold goods across the U.S. while navigating systems of racism that intertwined with gender and sexual norms. Peddling enabled their survival and transformed their family structure. Syrian women participated robustly in the peddling economy and their diverse forms of labor attracted scrutiny\, particularly from social welfare reformers. I read the social welfare archive for the associations between transience\, transgressions of women’s roles\, sexual non-normativity\, and Orientalist tropes of difference in order to consider how Syrian women were racialized through their participation in peddling economies. This analysis shows how Syrian women’s peddling practices were directly at odds with notions of white\, middle class femininity and thus a threat to some Syrians’ claims of whiteness. This talk also illuminates internal Syrian dynamics of class and its intersections with gender\, examining Syrian women both as “clients” of social welfare and as social reformers themselves.

The language we learn to speak as children is entirely based on the speech we hear around us\, and as adults\, we even match our pronunciations to those of others in our social groups. What are the evolutionary origins of this vocal flexibility? Our closest living relatives\, the nonhuman primates\, are born with the ability to produce all of their vocalizations. However\, they may adjust their vocalizations in more subtle ways to match those of others in their social groups\, just as humans do. Using acoustic analysis methods\, I assessed whether the calls of gelada monkeys\, a highly vocal primate species\, differed across social groups. In this talk\, I will share my findings and discuss a possible spatial cohesion function for vocal matching in this species.

Additionally\, their axons innervate two main image-forming visual nuclei: the superior colliculus (SC) and the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Furthermore\, electrophysiology data discovered that ipRGCs signal to dopaminergic amacrine cells via AMPA/Kainate glutamate receptors and to displaced amacrine cells (ACs) located in the ganglion cell layer of the retina through gap junctions. Retinal ganglion cells had never been found to signal intraretinally prior to this finding. \n\nSeveral labs have been exploring how ipRGCs mediate or modulate image-forming vision through their central projections and signaling to dopaminergic ACs. However\, little is known about the functional roles of gap-junction signaling from ipRGCs to displaced ACs and how ipRGCs work in conjunction with rod and cone photoreceptors to mediate image-forming visual responses. Neurobiotin tracer injections\, immunostaining\, and optokinetic visual behavior techniques were used in this thesis to fill in this knowledge gap. Four specific aims were accomplished: 1) understand how ipRGC-coupled ACs are distributed across the retina and identify ipRGC-coupled ACs\, 2) test the hypothesis that connexin36 (Cx36) couples ipRGCs to displaced ACs\, 3) examine the effect of glutamatergic input on ipRGC-AC coupling\, and 4) assess the effect of rods\, cones and melanopsin on image-forming behavior.\n\nWe found that all six ipRGC types are electrically coupled to amacrine cells\, primarily via Cx36 and a few ipRGC-coupled amacrine cells are bNOS\, nNOS\, NPY or 5-HT immunopositive. ipRGC-AC coupling is enhanced in the presence of NMDA receptor expression in ipRGCs. We found the distribution of ipRGC-coupled amacrine cells is region specific\, and rods\, cones and melanopsin contribute to image-forming vision differently. Because ipRGCs remain light-sensitive in many blind patients suffering from rod and cone degeneration\, a better understanding of the signaling ipRGCs could lead to novel strategies to restore sight in such patients.

How food is procured and prepared impacts environments and our own cultural identities today\, and this is no difference in prehistoric times. This talk will engage the audience what Dr. Lee and her team have found on food culture of over 8\,000 years in Korea. One of the key questions is how prehistoric communities managed various food resources and constructed sustainable niches over the long term before\, during\, and after farming began. Examples come from diverse landscapes\, including hilly sand dunes on the east coast\, alluvial flats along the Nam River\, coastal inlets of Busan harbor\, and Jeju Island. Food culture flourished well before the recipe was written.\n \n Gyoung-Ah Lee is an archaeologist investigating ancient human-environment interactions and cultural niche construction in prehistoric Asia. Her work deals primarily with the long transition from hunting and gathering to dependence on farming for food\, and has been featured in media outlets ranging from scientific journals to NPR. She and her research team secured various funding from the Korean Studies Promotion Service\, the Henry Luce Foundation\, National Geographic\, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada\, and more. While focused in Asia\, her research spans the globe\, and she has led archaeological projects and participated in excavations in Australia\, Canada\, China\, Indonesia\, Korea\, and Vietnam. Since 2007 she has been based at the University of Oregon\, in Eugene\, as a member of the faculty of Anthropology.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

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

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

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

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

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

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

It is the one place where we can trace our ‘roots’ in what is becoming a ‘rootless’ society. There are pioneers\, the rich and famous lying side by side with the poor and not so famous. There are scoundrels and saints\, infants and centenarians. Each gravestone has a story to tell. Traveling from Alaska to Key West\, from Hawaii to Canada\, from New Zealand to England we have found examples of the myriad of burial customs and examples of symbolism on gravestones. Instructor Rochelle Balkam wishes to encourage communities to focus on one of their most significant resources - the local cemetery.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207432@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

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

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

The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!\n\nOur certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients\, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction\, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.\nThe workshop will run from February 5 to April 15\, 2020. Participants meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. There will be no meeting on March 4. \nIf you have questions\, need assistance\, or want more information\, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll UID:71150-17783457@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71150 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English As A Second Language,Graduate,International,Language,Speech Language Pathology,Study Abroad,Undergraduate,Workshop LOCATION:V.

Based on his fieldwork in Turkey and Armenia\, the author examines how states work to construct and monopolize collective memory by narrating\, silencing\, mapping\, and performing the past\, and how these narratives might help to contribute and resolve present-day conflicts. \"Embattled Dreamlands\" provides a unique insight into the development of national identity which will provide a great resource to students and researchers in sociology and history alike.\n \n David Leupold is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO) in Berlin. He was the 2018-19 Manoogian postdoctoral fellow with the Armenian Studies Program\, U-M. He holds a doctoral degree from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Based on his doctoral research on contested landscapes of memory\, Dr. Leupold's first monograph “Embattled Dreamlands – The Politics of Contesting Armenian\, Kurdish and Turkish Memory” is in print with Routledge. He is fluent in German (native)\, English\, Russian\, Armenian\, Turkish and Farsi. His field of research encompasses the politics of memory\, mnemonic landscapes and counter-narratives in the post-Ottoman and post-Soviet space.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

In this Teach-Out\, you will explore the origins of Earth Day 1970 with student activists from Environmental Action for Survival (ENACT)\, an environmental student group from the University of Michigan\, whose efforts led to a massive “Teach-In on the Environment” which drew tens of thousands of people. This was just one of many teach-in events that took place in 1970 and kicked-off Earth Day as we know it.\n\n50 years later\, you are invited to this “Teach-Out” to engage in an intergenerational and interdisciplinary conversion about what sustainability means across different sectors\, disciplines\, and lived experiences. You will explore themes including global sustainability efforts\, climate change\, environmental justice\, and more\, to inspire you to take action on Earth Day and beyond.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Seating is limited. Visit our project in action. \n \nDesigned as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan\, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom\, theater\, classroom\, laboratory\, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law.

Kaleidoscope\, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series\, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists\, women artists\, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund UID:68986-17207433@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

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

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

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

DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately and due to unforeseen circumstances\, this Noon Lecture has been cancelled. We hope to reschedule this event for the 2020-21 academic year.\n\nAlthough the Japanese government has been promoting the acceptance of highly skilled foreign workers\, the lack of skilled labor force in Japan is already at the critical level. Furthermore\, the number of Japanese skilled workers (defined as those who have a university degree) moving overseas as permanent residents has been increasing. What motivates them to relocate to other countries permanently? As part of a research program aimed to understand demographic changes in Japan and their ramifications\, we fielded a survey experiment to test hypotheses regarding the factors that motivate Japanese skilled workers to emigrate from Japan to other countries.\n\nYusaku Horiuchi is a Professor of Government and the Mitsui Professor of Japanese Studies at Dartmouth College. His research focuses on applying experimental designs and statistical methods to a range of empirical questions in political science. His substantive research interests include political behavior\, public opinion\, electoral institutions\, and Japanese politics.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Behind Walls\, Beyond Discipline: STS and the Carceral State DESCRIPTION:Science and technology lie at the heart of the carceral state. Matters of modern law and order rely on state-of-the-art technoscience as ideological and practical resources. Scientific theories about human behavior influence legal interpretations of guilt\, sanity\, violence\, and innocence. Biometric sensors\, cameras\, tasers\, and electronic ankle bracelets surveil\, discipline\, control\, punish\, and contain populations. This conference brings together an international group of science and technology studies (STS) scholars—humanists and social scientists who have developed analytic tools and perspectives for systematically understanding the reciprocal relationships between science\, technology\, politics\, and society—to rigorously address one of the major social justice and human rights issues of our times. \n\nThis is a two-day conference co-organized by the Program in Science\, Technology & Society and the Science\, Technology & Public Policy program.

Light refreshments will be provided.\n\nUsing a large SNA dataset for Chinese Buddhist history (c.17\,000 actors) we will focus on the fountainhead of Chinese Buddhism - a constellation formed by three seminal figures: the monk Daoan\, his student Huiyuan\, and the Indian translator Kumārajīva. In the time between c.360 and 420 CE\, each was at the center of an active community of collaborators and patrons. According to the available records\, historical network analysis illustrates how the stable growth of Buddhism after the 4th century is a direct result of the activities of Daoan\, Huiyuan and Kumārajīva and their students. Without the varied and influential activities of these three\, Buddhism might have remained a religion of foreigners (like later Manichaeism and Nestorianism)\, or stayed a fad among aristocrats (like the xuanxue movement). I will also argue that the impact of the constellation should be considered a main reason for why Chinese Buddhism has always defined itself as Mahāyāna Buddhism.\n\nMarcus Bingenheimer is Associate Professor in Religion at Temple University. His main research interests are the history of Buddhism in East Asia and early Buddhist sutra literature. Beyond Buddhist Studies\, Marcus is interested in computational approaches to scholarship and how to do research in an age of digital information.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle: \nNetwork Revenue Management with Online Inverse Batch Gradient Descent Method\n\nAbstract:\nWe consider a general class of price-based network revenue management problems that a firm aims to maximize revenue from multiple products produced with multiple types of resources endowed with limited inventory over a finite selling season. A salient feature of our problem is that the firm does not know the underlying demand function that maps prices to demand rate\, which must be learned from sales data. It is well known that for almost all classes of demand functions\, the revenue rate function is not concave in the products' prices but is concave in products' market shares (or price-controlled demand rates). This creates challenges in adopting any stochastic gradient descent based methods in the price space. We propose a novel nonparametric learning algorithm termed online inverse batch gradient descent (IGD) algorithm. For the large scale systems wherein all resources' inventories and the length of the horizon are proportionally scaled by a parameter $k$\, we establish a dimension-independent regret bound of $O( k^{4/5} \log k)$. This result is independent of the number of products and resources and works for a continuum action-set prices and the demand functions that are only once differentiable. Our result guarantees the efficacy of both algorithms in the high dimensional systems where the number of products or resources is large and the prices are continuous. (This is a joint work with Dr. Yiwei Chen.)\n\nBio:\nCong Shi is an associate professor in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

This workshop will not be held in person but instead will be offered using Zoom technology. Please be sure to check your email the morning of the online workshop for the link to participate in the program.\nHave you often succeeded at an academic task even though you were afraid you wouldn’t do well? Do you dread others evaluating your work? Do you tend to remember incidents when you haven’t done your best more than those when you have? Thoughts such as these are the hallmark of imposter syndrome thinking. Imposter syndrome thinking can be compounded for those from underrepresented populations who may also be subject to discrimination and situations that prime stereotype threat. This interactive session will share insights from the scholarship on imposter syndrome and related psychological constructs—including stereotype threat and performance anxiety—and provide strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome.\nThis workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Space is limited. For faculty and staff\, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/88wGV.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event\, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements.

As the Arctic warms\, the retreat of snow and ice together with the associated feedbacks is known to be an important reason for Arctic amplification. According to our feedback estimates from historical climate model simulations and reanalysis data sets\, much of the Arctic amplification of warming can be attributed to the surface albedo feedback. Satellite observations reveal a 1% per decade absolute reduction in the Arctic mean surface albedo in spring and summer during 1982-2014. We used results from a global climate model and multiple reanalysis data sets to unravel the causes of this decreasing trend. We found that reductions of terrestrial snow cover\, snow cover fraction over sea ice\, and sea ice extent appear to contribute equally to the Arctic albedo decline. Further analysis of the global model results showed that the decrease in snow cover fraction is primarily driven by the increase in surface air temperature\, followed by declining snowfall. Although the total precipitation has increased as the Arctic warms in the recent decades\, Arctic snowfall has decreased substantially in all the analyzed data sets. It is well known that the presence of light-absorbing soot can significantly darken the snow and ice surface\, but soot has been decreasing in the past decades over the Arctic\, indicating that soot heating has not been the driver of changes in the Arctic snow cover\, ice cover\, and surface albedo since the 1980s. \n\nPlease join us!

While the proximate determinants of sex differences across species can include both chromosomal and hormonal differences\, the ultimate evolutionary determinants will be rooted in differences in investments in competing and caring between the sexes. Ultimate explanations have classically been framed in terms of quantitative sex differences in immune function (with males typically the ‘weaker’ sex)\, but have failed to account for qualitative sex differences in immune function. We model immune trade-offs that might underpin these differences. Once the dangerous side of immunity is accounted for\, two distinct immunological profiles emerge as peaks on a fitness landscape\, one aligned with investment in pathogen detection and the other with investment in pathogen killing. Intriguingly\, alignment of these fitness peaks with observed sex differences in birds and mammals – where females typically favor detection – cannot be explained by selection pressures emerging from models including immunity trade-offs alone. Age-specific patterns of infection\, and/or maternal transfer of immunity (e.g.\, maternal antibodies) are also required. The characterization of immune function underlying these predictions is necessarily a simplified caricature of the true complexity. We develop projections of the scope of expectations of this simplified caricature in terms of the development of immunity across the life course in the two sexes.

Great Lakes Rocks: 4 Billion Years of Geologic History in the Great Lakes Region tells this 4 billion-year history starting with the hills\, lakes and rivers that we see today and moving back in time through the advance and retreat of the glaciers\, the formation of tropical seas and reefs\, the rifting that almost split North America into two parts\, and ending with the volcanism and mountain building that made one of Earth’s earliest continents. This history includes strange iron-rich and salt-rich oceans\, an immense meteorite impact\, a super-giant lava flow\, and many ore deposits that lured early European settlers into the area. It also helps us predict the geologic future of the Great Lakes region\, which will likely include earthquakes\, meteorite impacts\, changes in our rivers\, lakes\, and waterfalls and\, most of all\, in our climate. At this event\, Stephen Kesler will showcase rock samples from around the Great Lakes. \n\nSteve Kesler earned a PhD in geology from Stanford University and has taught at Louisiana State University\, University of Toronto\, Instituto de Recursos Norenovables (Mexico) and University of Michigan. Since joining U-M in 1977\, he and many students have gone on field trips over most of the Great Lakes region. In addition to Great Lakes Rocks\, he has co-authored several other recent books including Mineral Resources\, Economics and the Environment\; Metals and Society\; and Future Global Mineral Resources.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Behind Walls\, Beyond Discipline: STS and the Carceral State DESCRIPTION:Science and technology lie at the heart of the carceral state. Matters of modern law and order rely on state-of-the-art technoscience as ideological and practical resources. Scientific theories about human behavior influence legal interpretations of guilt\, sanity\, violence\, and innocence. Biometric sensors\, cameras\, tasers\, and electronic ankle bracelets surveil\, discipline\, control\, punish\, and contain populations. This conference brings together an international group of science and technology studies (STS) scholars—humanists and social scientists who have developed analytic tools and perspectives for systematically understanding the reciprocal relationships between science\, technology\, politics\, and society—to rigorously address one of the major social justice and human rights issues of our times. \n\nThis is a two-day conference co-organized by the Program in Science\, Technology & Society and the Science\, Technology & Public Policy program.

Still\, there have been virtually no substantial studies of a premodern and modern understanding of medicine\, madness\, and maladies of the mind in Armenia and its Diaspora. This interdisciplinary workshop aims to interrogate the stories of both medical and psychiatric sciences as well as that of the concept of madness in Armenian political\, historical\, literary\, and cultural discussions in the past and present.\n\nThe workshop will focus on the histories of medicine and psychiatry and the portrayals of madness as a form of behavior\, marker of difference\, and tool of body politics across periods and geographies. The workshop organizers are interested in the broader history of medicine\, but they would like to draw particular attention to the historical and contemporary landscapes in which medical professionals sought to exercise their authorities over mental illnesses and the mind itself. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries\, tools and theories have provided medical professionals with renewed opportunities to intervene in the social\, political and cultural spheres with the shared objective of devising and implementing therapies of madness.\n\nIn this\, the workshop will initiate an inter-disciplinary conversation about the concept\, diagnosis\, treatment\, and social construction of “madness.” The goal is to consider new perspectives\, methodologies and cross-disciplinary frameworks that will put Armenian Studies in conversation with\, among others\, the growing fields of history of medicine\, science and technology studies. In the course of the workshop\, the hope is to call into question what was and is culturally defined as madness as well as medical and societal interventions to “cure” madness and “contain” the mad.\n\nTherefore\, this meeting will situate the notion of madness at the intersection of politics\, medicine\, literature\, sociology\, and anthropology and seeks to explore the changes in its definition and the underpinnings of perceptions of mental illnesses at critical junctures of history in Armenia and amongst its diasporic communities across the globe.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

It will be linked before.\n\nBlueJeans: https://bluejeans.com/315155702\n\nObjectives\nWe have developed a novel anti-vascular technique\, termed photo-mediated ultrasound therapy (PUT)\, which utilizes nanosecond duration laser pulses synchronized with ultrasound bursts to remove microvasculature through cavitation. The objective of the current study is to explore the potential of PUT in removing cutaneous microvessels.\n \nMethods\nThe auricular blood vessels of two New Zealand white rabbits were treated by PUT with a peak negative ultrasound pressure of 0.45 MPa at 0.5 MHz\, and a laser fluence of 0.056 J/cm2 at 1064 nm for 10 minutes. Blood perfusion in the treated area was measured by a commercial laser speckle imaging (LSI) system before and immediately after treatment\, as well as at one hour\, three days\, two weeks\, and four weeks post treatment. Perfusion rates of 38 individual vessels from 4 rabbit ears were tracked during this time period for longitudinal assessment.\n \nResults\nThe measured perfusion rates of the vessels in the treated areas\, as quantified by the relative change in perfusion rate (RCPR)\, showed a statistically significant decrease for all time points post treatment (p<0.001). The mean decrease in perfusion is 50.79% immediately after treatment and is 32.14% at four weeks post treatment. Immediately after treatment\, the perfusion rate decreased rapidly. Following this\, there was a partial recovery in perfusion rate up to 3 days post treatment\, then followed by a plateau in the perfusion from 3 days to 4 weeks.\n \nConclusions\nThe study demonstrated that a single PUT treatment could significantly reduce blood perfusion by 32.14% in the skin for up to 4 weeks. With unique advantages such as low laser fluence as compared with photothermolysis and agent-free treatment as compared with PDT\, PUT holds potential to be developed into a new tool for the treatment of microvessels in the skin.\n \nKeywords: laser\; ultrasound\; anti-vascular treatment\; skin microvessels\; photo-mediated ultrasound therapy\n\nChair: Dr. Xueding Wang UID:73990-18460430@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73990 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,Chemistry,Dissertation,engineer,engineering,Life Science,Michigan Engineering,Natural Sciences,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191121T181643 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200410T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200410T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope DESCRIPTION: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.

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

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

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

In fact\, deploying nuclear power at scale worldwide represents the most efficient path to deep decarbonization. Despite this potential\, the nuclear power industry is hindered by social\, political\, and economic challenges in many parts of the world. The Nuclear Energy Grand Challenge represents a series of prize competitions organized by the Energy Impact Center to spur a new approach to nuclear power deployment on a time frame that can make a difference.\n\nThe first prize competition\, Reimagining Nuclear Waste\, is taking place over the Fall 2019 and Winter 2020 semesters in partnership with the University of Michigan. It was designed to advance the clean energy economy by engaging collegiate innovators and entrepreneurs to tackle one of the most unique challenges facing the nuclear energy industry—the perception of nuclear waste.\n\nThe nuclear industry has historically responded to calls against its “waste” by offering solutions around concentrating\, storing indefinitely\, and separating it from humans\, which only further—albeit counterintuitively—deepens the public’s distrust\, misunderstanding\, and wariness of the energy source at large. This prize competition represents the first of several efforts to flip the script on the byproducts of nuclear energy generation\, by identifying new commercial opportunities to transform nuclear “waste” from a liability into an asset.\n\nInterdisciplinary student teams were challenged to create technical business plan proposals to productize nuclear waste and incentivize the creation of new markets/uses that re-imagine how spent nuclear fuel can be utilized. At this public event\, the teams will present their proposals to a panel of judges.

Yet while the nudes of Klimt\, Schiele\, Kokoschka\, and others diverged sharply from the classical pictorial tradition\, they emerged alongside a contemporaneous trend: the increasing presence of medical imagery in the city’s visual vernacular. In the decades after 1900\, the bodies of working-class Viennese—women and children\, in particular—came to occupy a central place in films\, lectures\, exhibitions\, and literature. A medicalized gaze\, this lecture argues\, was fostered by a complex Viennese social network of physicians\, artists\, writers\, and politicians—all of whom staked their claims on women's bodies to vastly different ends.

Weinberg Symposium on Friday\, April 10\, and Saturday\, April 11\, 2020\, at the U-M Michigan League.\n\nHosted by the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science\, the Weinberg Symposium features presentations\, posters\, and discussion centered on the theme: “The Cognitive Science of Concepts: Contrasting Perspectives Across the Disciplines.” Concepts--mental representations that underpin thought and reasoning--are understood and investigated in different ways across cognitive science's sub-disciplines\, for example in developmental psychology\, the study of animal cognition\, and the study of artificial minds / artificial intelligence (AI). \n\nA keynote lecture\, “Do Apes Believe? The Concept of 'Belief' in Great Apes and Human Children\,” by Michael Tomasello (Duke University) kicks off the two-day symposium on Friday\, April 10. The lecture will be followed by a poster session and reception. \n\nThe second day of the symposium\, Saturday\, April 11\, will feature a range of contrasting and potentially complementary perspectives on concepts by leading scholars in several disciplines. Guest speakers include Marjorie Rhodes (New York University)\, Sandra Waxman (Northwestern University)\, Surya Ganguli (Stanford University)\, and Michael Strevens (New York University).\n\nSaturday’s activities will also feature a panel discussion with U-M faculty\, and ample time for participant and student interaction.\n\nPlease visit the 2020 Weinberg Symposium webpage to see the full agenda including speakers\, presentation titles\, and registration details.

Curry Distinguished Lecture: Prof. Tim Rice\, UCLA DESCRIPTION:**In accordance with the Unversity-wide measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19\, this performance has been canceled.**\n\nBruno Nettl\, in his 1983 magisterial conspectus The Study of Ethnomusicology: 29 Issues and Concepts\, suggested that this field might best be understood as “the science of music history.” And yet it can seem that what makes ethnomusicology unique among music disciplines is its devotion to ethnographic fieldwork. So what is the role of history in this field of study? How do ethnomusicologists “do” history? Do they understand themselves as historians or ethnographers or both? Since the demise of comparative musicology in the U.S.\, most historical writing in ethnomusicology has been associated with particular ethnographic studies. After an examination of some classic examples of historical studies in ethnomusicology\, I discuss my recent attempt to skirt the problems of “universal history\,” avoided in ethnomusicology since the 1960s\, in my writing of what amounts to a history of the world’s music.

Burnside\, whom Cedric famously played with\, just as his own father\, drummer Calvin Jackson\, did. Cedric was literally born to the blues\, more specifically\, the rhythmically unorthodox Hill country variant that emerged from Mississippi\, where he grew up surrounded (and influenced) by Junior Kimbrough\, Jessie May Hemphill\, and Otha Turner\, as well as Delta musicians T-Model Ford and Paul \"Wine\" Jones. Cedric has played and recorded with the North Mississippi Allstars (Luther Dickinson gave him his first electric guitar)\, Widespread Panic\, Jimmy Buffett\, Bobby Rush\, Hubert Sumlin\, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears \,and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. But beyond that\, he writes from personal experience\, and he's bringing traditional blues to a new generation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Weinberg Symposium DESCRIPTION:Students and faculty are invited to attend the 10th anniversary Marshall M. Weinberg Symposium on Friday\, April 10\, and Saturday\, April 11\, 2020\, at the U-M Michigan League.\n\nHosted by the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science\, the Weinberg Symposium features presentations\, posters\, and discussion centered on the theme: “The Cognitive Science of Concepts: Contrasting Perspectives Across the Disciplines.” Concepts--mental representations that underpin thought and reasoning--are understood and investigated in different ways across cognitive science's sub-disciplines\, for example in developmental psychology\, the study of animal cognition\, and the study of artificial minds / artificial intelligence (AI). \n\nA keynote lecture\, “Do Apes Believe? The Concept of 'Belief' in Great Apes and Human Children\,” by Michael Tomasello (Duke University) kicks off the two-day symposium on Friday\, April 10. The lecture will be followed by a poster session and reception. \n\nThe second day of the symposium\, Saturday\, April 11\, will feature a range of contrasting and potentially complementary perspectives on concepts by leading scholars in several disciplines. Guest speakers include Marjorie Rhodes (New York University)\, Sandra Waxman (Northwestern University)\, Surya Ganguli (Stanford University)\, and Michael Strevens (New York University).\n\nSaturday’s activities will also feature a panel discussion with U-M faculty\, and ample time for participant and student interaction.\n\nPlease visit the 2020 Weinberg Symposium webpage to see the full agenda including speakers\, presentation titles\, and registration details.

Still\, there have been virtually no substantial studies of a premodern and modern understanding of medicine\, madness\, and maladies of the mind in Armenia and its Diaspora. This interdisciplinary workshop aims to interrogate the stories of both medical and psychiatric sciences as well as that of the concept of madness in Armenian political\, historical\, literary\, and cultural discussions in the past and present.\n\nThe workshop will focus on the histories of medicine and psychiatry and the portrayals of madness as a form of behavior\, marker of difference\, and tool of body politics across periods and geographies. The workshop organizers are interested in the broader history of medicine\, but they would like to draw particular attention to the historical and contemporary landscapes in which medical professionals sought to exercise their authorities over mental illnesses and the mind itself. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries\, tools and theories have provided medical professionals with renewed opportunities to intervene in the social\, political and cultural spheres with the shared objective of devising and implementing therapies of madness.\n\nIn this\, the workshop will initiate an inter-disciplinary conversation about the concept\, diagnosis\, treatment\, and social construction of “madness.” The goal is to consider new perspectives\, methodologies and cross-disciplinary frameworks that will put Armenian Studies in conversation with\, among others\, the growing fields of history of medicine\, science and technology studies. In the course of the workshop\, the hope is to call into question what was and is culturally defined as madness as well as medical and societal interventions to “cure” madness and “contain” the mad.\n\nTherefore\, this meeting will situate the notion of madness at the intersection of politics\, medicine\, literature\, sociology\, and anthropology and seeks to explore the changes in its definition and the underpinnings of perceptions of mental illnesses at critical junctures of history in Armenia and amongst its diasporic communities across the globe.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

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.

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

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

Miss Visa Denied\, a drag queen and performer\, is the narrator who guides the audience through the turbulent history of Chinese\, Filipino\, and Japanese people coming to America.

Addressing issues of race\, gender\, and appropriation\, this play examines the fundamental questions surrounding the immigrant experience\, including what it means to be an American.
