Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, Detroit. \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to further the Institute for the Humanities Gallery’s longtime mission in support of art as social practice.\n\nOct. 1-23\; large-scale public art installation\, U-M Museum of Art building facade\, 525 S.

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:68986-17207597@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.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more!

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nBorderline personality disorder (BPD) is considered a severe form of psychopathology associated with a host of negative outcomes. Empirical evidence suggests high prevalence of BPD diagnosis among sexual and gender minority samples. Non-cisgender identity has been historically equated with BPD diagnosis\, the improper diagnosis of which imposes potential barriers to accessing appropriate gender affirming care. In addition\, sexual and gender minority populations contend with greater psychosocial stress and exhibit higher rates of common forms of psychopathology than their heterosexual cisgender peers. Limited evidence suggests that higher prevalence of BPD diagnosis among sexual and gender minority individuals might not accurately index underlying BPD-pathology levels among these populations. Further\, current conceptualization and treatment recommendations for BPD diagnosis diverge in subtle\, yet potentially detrimental\, ways from evidence-based treatment principles for sexual and gender minority individuals. In the current talk\, I will present the results from 3 studies incorporating a transdiagnostic factors approach—consistent with the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) model—to examining bias in the diagnosis of BPD among sexual and gender minority individuals.

Using 1900-1930 decennial census data\, we document literacy for the 1900 through 1930 period and for birth cohorts from 1830 through 1920. We thus provide for American Indians a large-scale picture of the history of literacy. We document the pace and extent of Indian literacy from very low for the birth cohorts of the early 1800s to fairly universal for the cohorts of the early 1900s. We also demonstrate that the increases in Indian literacy were closely related to birth cohort\, with successive new birth cohorts having higher levels of literacy. We found little evidence that increases in literacy from 1900 to 1930 happened because adults increased their literacy after the school years and as they matured across the adult life course. We also document important gender differences in Native American literacy\, with the proportion literate being lower for women than for men\, but with the gender gap decreasing in later birth cohorts. There were also substantial literacy inequalities across geographical regions of the country-ranging from 19 to 74 percent literate across regions in 1900. The trajectories of literacy attainment also varied across regions in interesting ways. We also document that Indian literacy was higher among those living in urban areas\, those more integrated into the Euro-American community\, and those with Euro-American ancestry.\n\nhttps://ssai.isr.umich.edu/\n\nContact PSC Office for Zoom details.\n\n\nBIO:\nArland Thornton is Professor of Sociology\, Population Studies\, and Survey Research at the University of Michigan\, where he is also associated with the \, Native American Studies Program and several Centers within the International Institute.

Many models exist that help us describe various aspects of human learning or let us evaluate competing theories. It is harder to find models that specify processing at a level that is detailed enough to allow a computer system to actually perform human-like learning. This talk presents some of my thesis work that extends a model of human procedural learning to have more specific computational detail. In the process\, I also extend the model by discovering connections with prior theoretical work in human skill acquisition and some neuroscience.

My lab studies the many roles that RNA binding proteins have in affecting RNA expression\, splicing\, transport and translation. Through our studies on RNA processing\, we have introduced therapeutic strategies to treat neurodegenerative and muscular diseases\, built cellular models of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases and developed experimental and computational tools that enable the community to probe RNA binding protein-RNA interactions at scale. I will discuss (1) our established and new technologies to identify RNA targets of human RBPs at scale\, (2) systematic assays to assign molecular roles to RBPs and (2) functional screens to identify RBPs implicated in cancer / RNA granule formation.

The business environment was not spared in this disruption\, as customers\, the workforce\, workplace environments and supply chains were each turned upside-down\, almost overnight. Operating practices needed to be challenged\, re-engineered and re-adopted – at the speed of business. That is akin to replacing the aircraft engine while the plane is mid-flight.\n\nThe challenge faced by business leaders from the outset of the pandemic\, and remains true today\, is that objective\, analytical information on the state of the virus was and remains woefully inadequate. Further\, every organization operating in multiple geographical and political jurisdictions has to navigate different and every-changing rules governing the ability to conduct operations.\n\nIn mid-March\, I launched an effort to build a repository of critical virus-related information (tests\, positives\, infections\, recoveries\, fatalities) at various levels of granularity – world\, country\, state or province\, and metropolitan area. From this\, I established a daily reporting mechanism and underlying analyses\, designed to equip business leaders\, economic and investment advisors and clinicians with insight about the state of the virus spread and underlying trends. My intent was to inform these leaders with actionable intelligence\, free of both the fearmongering and denial perspectives that were dominating the general and social media.\n\nThese efforts have resulted in my direct engagement with four organizations’ operational planning efforts around the pandemic: two for-profit organizations involved in the manufacture and distribution of critical medical/life sciences products to consumers around the globe\, a not-for-profit agency supporting families of critically-ill children and a governmental agency charged with administering a state-wide pandemic response effort. Additionally\, I provide daily reports on the state of the virus to an estimated 2\,000 clinicians\, health organization managers\, economists and investment managers.\n\nThese lessons provide strong insight for the analytical practitioner. Through this effort\, I have discovered the challenges of making actionable sense of data from a novel virus . . . in real-time. Data sources and definitions are in constant flux\, external reporting lacks analytical rigor\, and\, new knowledge frequently trumps previously held scientific beliefs. More profoundly\, models reported on and used extensively by government officials are often accepted as dogma but\, may be nothing more than assumptions built upon several more layers of assumptions.\n\nMark currently serves as the Board Chair of Crown Healthcare Laundry Inc.\, a Quilvest Private Equity-portfolio company and as Strategic Advisor to Terso Solutions Inc.\, a subsidiary of Promega that provides Real Time Location Services (RTLS) for field-based inventory of leading medical implant and biotech companies. \n\nHe previously served as chief strategist and business intelligence officer for Owens & Minor\, Inc.\; as a Partner in the healthcare consulting practice at Ernst & Young\, where he launched the firm’s health care supply chain practice\; and as a Management Engineer at the Detroit Medical Center. \n\nMark also serves on the National Advisory Board of the Congenital Heart Center at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital at the University of Michigan\, and on the Advisory Board of the Medical Device Supply Chain Council. He recently completed two terms on the Board of the Bellwether League Inc. \n\nIn the midst of the COVID-19 situation\, Mark is producing an objective and analytical daily report on the virus progression in the US and worldwide. This report has become a go-to source for nearly 2\,000 physicians\, scientists\, health system and supplier executives\, economists\, investment bankers and\, one former head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.\n\nMark holds an MBA from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial & Operations Engineering\, also from the University of Michigan.\n\nThis seminar series is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.

A related installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery can be viewed (and heard) from a sidewalk window. There will also be an installation inside the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nOct. 1-23: Large-Scale Public Art Installation\, U-M Museum of Art\, 525 S.

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

OLLI membership is not required.\n\nThere have been tremendous racial\, ethnic\, economic\, and geographic disparities in COVID-19 cases and outcomes. There are multiple causes of health disparities that pre-dated COVID-19 that have been amplified during the pandemic. We have learned multiple lessons in Flint to better understand the sources of health disparities and strategies to prevent and reduce the inequitable impact of COVID-19 on socially vulnerable communities. These lessons provide valuable insights on longer-term strategies to address health inequities beyond COVID-19.\n\nOur two speakers will discuss these lessons and more:\n\nDebra Furr-Holden\, Ph.D.\, is the Associate Dean for Public Health Integration and Director of the Flint Center for Health Equity Solutions and MSU Co-Director of the Healthy Flint Research Coordinating Center. \n\nShe is an epidemiologist and classically trained public health professional with expertise in drug and alcohol dependence epidemiology\, psychiatric epidemiology\, and prevention science. She received a Bachelor’s Degree in Natural Sciences and Public Health from Johns Hopkins University Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and a PhD in Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.\n\nLawrence Reynolds\, M.D.\, a pediatrician for 41 years\, has been deeply involved in health and health advocacy\, especially for underserved parts of the Flint community\, for most of his career. \n\nHe was president and CEO of the Mott Children’s Health Center\, a board member of the Hamilton Family Health Network\, president of the Genesee County Medical Society\, and many other initiatives. During the Flint water crisis\, he was a member of then-Gov. Rick Snyder’s Flint Water Advisory Task Force and the Flint Water Interagency Coordinating Committee. He is also the newly appointed health advisor to the City of Flint Mayor and is an at-large director of the Greater Flint Health Coalition. \n\nHe is a graduate of Howard University College of Medicine and a National Health Service Corps Scholarship recipient.\n\nZoom Link to join this programming: \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/91515351120 \nWebinar ID: 91515351120 UID:75655-19552875@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/75655 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Covid-19,Free,Leadership,Lecture,Lifelong Learning,Politics,Public Health,Retirement,Social Impact,Social Justice,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201013T102753 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201020T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201020T110000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U.S.-China relations during COVID-19: Finding a path forward DESCRIPTION:Join the conversation: #policytalks.\n\nPanelists:\n\nKen Lieberthal\, senior fellow emeritus in the Foreign Policy program at Brookings\n\nMary Gallagher\, Professor of Political Science\, Director of the Center for Chinese Studies\, and faculty associate at the Center for Comparative Political Studies at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan\n\nAnn Lin\, Associate Professor of Public Policy in the Gerald R.

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.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more!

In this framework\, we construct contact networks based on synthetic population datasets specific for Washtenaw County that are derived from US Census datasets. We assign individuals to households\, workplaces\, schools\, and group quarters (such as prisons or long term care facilities). In addition\, we assign casual contacts to each individual at random. Using this framework\, we explicitly simulate Michigan-specific government-mandated workplace and school closures as well as social distancing measures. We perform sensitivity analyses to identify key model parameters and mechanisms contributing to the observed disease burden in the three months following the first observed cases of COVID-19 in Michigan. We then consider several scenarios for relaxing restrictions and reopening workplaces to predict what actions would be most prudent. In particular\, we consider the effects of 1) different timings for reopening\, and 2) different levels of workplace vs. casual contact re-engagement. Through simulations and sensitivity analyses\, we explore mechanisms driving the magnitude and timing of a second wave of infections upon re-opening.\n\nThis work is based on Dr. Renardy's *paper in press* in the *Journal of Theoretical Biology* with coauthors:\nMarisa Eisenberg\, UM Complex Systems & Math (LSA) and Epidemiology (Public Health)\nDenise Kirschner\, UM Department of Microbiology & Immunology (Medical School) UID:76629-19733025@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/76629 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,computing,Coronavirus,data,Health Data,Medicine,Natural Sciences,Public Health,Research,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201020T113114 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201020T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201020T125000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Human Capital\, History\, Demography & Development (H2D2): Structural Change\, Inequality\, and Capital Flows DESCRIPTION:To join the seminar\, please visit the following webpage. \nhttps://sites.google.com/view/h2d2/seminars UID:78689-20105425@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78689 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200927T211837 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201020T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201020T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LHS Collaboratory-LHS as a Driver of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion DESCRIPTION:Healthcare and health remain unconscionably inequitable. This year\, the disproportionate toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on those historically least well-served by our health system\, has highlighted the pressing societal challenge of health disparities.\n\nBeyond simply striving to do no harm\, Learning Health Systems (LHSs) have the potential to serve as forces for justice in healthcare and health\; indeed\, they can be powerful drivers of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. LHSs are anchored in multi-stakeholder consensus Core Values that explicitly incorporate principles such as inclusiveness\, transparency\, and accessibility. Their proximal goal is \"to efficiently and equitably serve the learning needs of all participants\, as well as the overall public good.\"\n\nThe October 2020 LHS Collaboratory will share lessons from health advocates working on the front lines to make healthcare and health more equitable.

The goal of the Wolf lab is to understand synaptic mechanisms that maintain this persistent vulnerability to relapse. \n\nMost of our studies use the incubation of craving model. Incubation refers to the progressive increase in cue-induced craving that develops after discontinuing drug self-administration. Craving remains at high (incubated) levels for months. Incubation of craving also occurs in humans. \n\nOur work has focused on excitatory synapses in the nucleus accumbens\, a key brain region for motivated behavior. My talk will describe published and unpublished work showing profound alterations in all of the major glutamate receptors in the NAc (AMPA\, NMDA and metabotropic glutamate receptors) after incubation of cocaine craving and the role of protein translation in mediating this plasticity.

See the webinar registration link below.\n \n In this talk\, Professor Makley thinks through the implications of her collaborative work with Tibetans in northern Amdo (Qinghai province) to tell\, hear\, see and record stories of the late tenth Panchen Lama (1938-1989)\, the controversial yet beloved Buddhist figure who returned to Amdo in the early 1980s after fourteen years of Maoist detention in a series of triumphant\, recuperative tours of rural Tibetan regions. To this day\, the absent presence of the tenth Panchen Lama looms large in those regions\, where Tibetans lament the loss of his advocacy and voice amidst intensifying state-led development pressures. She takes up Uradyn Bulag's critique to reject the positivist\, textualist\, and statist premises of \"oral history\" in favor of a linguistic anthropological approach to narrative as a multimodal and dialogic process of (dis)embodying selves and others in spaces and times. Professor Makley asks\, in the context of intensifying surveillance and central state-led censorship\, can our Tibetan interlocutors' awkward silences and earnest affirmations\, the un- or under-said of their stories about the tenth Panchen Lama\, be taken as a politics of refusal that\, in the telling\, itself works to re-constitute his fugitive presence\, and by proxy that of a Tibetan sociality and future currently being erased?\n\nZoom Registration Link: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_a6dgE3GhRcqeCnlegYA7kA\n \n Charlene Makley is Professor of Anthropology at Reed College in Portland\, Oregon. Her work has explored the history and cultural politics of state-building\, state-led development and Buddhist revival among Tibetans in China's restive frontier zone (SE Qinghai and SW Gansu provinces) since 1992. Her analyses draw especially on methodologies from linguistic and economic anthropology\, gender and media studies\, and studies of religion and ritual that unpack the semiotic and pragmatic specificities of intersubjective communication\, exchange\, personhood and value. Her first book\, \"The Violence of Liberation: Gender and Tibetan Buddhist Revival in Post-Mao China\,\" was published by University of Californian Press in 2007. Her second book\, \"The Battle for Fortune: State-Led Development\, Personhood and Power among Tibetans in China\,\" published in 2018 by Cornell University Press and the Weatherhead East Asia Institute at Columbia University\, is an ethnography of state-local relations in the historically Tibetan region of Rebgong (SE Qinghai province) in the wake of China's Great Open the West campaign and during the 2008 military crackdown on Tibetan unrest. The book brings anthropological theories of states\, development and personhood into dialogue with recent interdisciplinary debates about the very nature of human subjectivity\, agency\, and relations with nonhuman others (including deities).\n \n For more information about her research projects\, publications\, courses\, and media archives\, visit her website: http://academic.reed.edu/anthro/makley/index.html\, or her Academia.edu page: https://reed.academia.edu/CharleneMakley.

We will view and discuss two half-hour lectures each session. The course will cover topics including amino acids\, proteins\, ATP and energy transformation\, carbs and fats\, hormones\, neurotransmitters\, and many others. This will provide the background for Part 2 immediately following\, comprising the final 13 lectures on molecular biology and covering topics such as DNA\, RNA and protein building\, as well as genetic diseases and cancer. Craig Stephan is a retired industrial physicist who has led many previous OLLI courses including The Science of Climate Change\, Cosmology\, The Aging Brain\, Music and the Brain\, and Astrophysics. The course will bring in UM experts from time to time to answer questions. *See www.thegreatcourses.com/ courses/biochemistry-and-molecular-biology- how-life-works.html. (I found the course preview a little off-putting\, but the actual lectures are much better\, and Prof. Ahern\, with the aid of some good graphics\, does a very good job of explaining a complex subject.)\n\nThis study group will be held on Tuesdays from October 20 through January 12. \n\nPre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone.

It was the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of ALL women protected and enforced\, and intimidation tactics progressively eliminated.  The Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote poster campaign\, organized by AIGA in partnership with the League of Women Voters\, commemorates this milestone. A core group of invited women of design submitted the first 65 non-partisan posters\, to launch the initiative with their vision and voices. Through the posters\, these women joined forces to collectively contribute to dialogue in design and society. This moment in history is an incredible opportunity to catalyze women in design\, voting rights\, citizenship\, community\, and diversity. The collection aspires to not only support present day voter participation\, but to also serve as a backdrop for discourse and examination of the history of voting rights and women’s fight for equality.  The poster initiative continues at aiga.org/vote\, where AIGA members can contribute posters to motivate the American public to register and turn out to vote in the 2020 general election\, as well as local elections to come. Posters are available for free download online.\n\nThe Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote exhibition at Stamps Gallery includes a selection of the 65 posters chosen by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V. Johnson\, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo\, Endi Poskovic\, Destini Riley\, and Stamps Gallery.

For those who purchased before 12/15\, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.\n\nSynopsis:\nAn intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life\, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Intentionally minimal\, each image distills an interaction\, traumatic incident\, or power imbalance into an accessible visual narrative. Recognizable objects such as chairs\, roots\, ladders\, or spotlights set the stage for the story to unfold. Events are captured midstream\, suspended in time like a felt film still.\n\nThe exhibition is inspired\, in part\, by the courage\, testimony\, and experiences of women (like Christine Blasey Ford) who publicly report assault\, harassment\, or misconduct. The #MeToo movement gave voice to thousands of women to tell their personal stories\, but also exposed a hostile backlash meant to silence them. The title\, “Real and Imagined\,” is a deliberate contradiction\; if one is true\, the other must not be. In practice\, however\, both terms are used to reference a woman’s testimony and determine how it is publicly interpreted. Her account is accepted as truthful by many and simultaneously dismissed as imaginary by the court of public opinion: “her memory is wrong\,” “she imagined it.”\n\nThe works in “Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations” make difficult conversations and relationships tangible by stripping them down to their essentials.\n\nWordless physical gestures highlight the psychological and emotional forces at play behind even the smallest of interactions.\n\nBiography\nHeidi Kumao has created award-winning experimental films\, video installations\, cinema machines\, electronic clothing\, and kinetic sculptures. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including shows at Art Science Museum Singapore\, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona\, Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona)\, and Museu da Imagem e do Som (São Paulo). She has received fellowships from the Creative Capital Foundation\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is a professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the stakeholders in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect? We found inspiration in the thoughtful words of renowned civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis (1940-2020) who wrote\, “My fellow Americans\, this is a special moment in our history. Just as people of all faiths and no faiths\, and all backgrounds\, creeds\, and colors banded together decades ago to fight for equality and justice in a peaceful\, orderly\, non-violent fashion\, we must do so again.” His powerful words are a reminder for all of us - present and future generations to stay hopeful\, proactive\, and resilient in our collective efforts to end racial discrimination and foster a true democracy. \n\nIn this spirit\, Stamps Gallery invited the undergraduate and graduate students at Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, to design posters and make videos to respond and contemplate what each of us can do to build a stronger community\, one that is based on the values of racial equality\, justice and belonging. How can we acknowledge our own biases\, learn from each other\, and listen to the voices of those that have been silenced? We are at a pivotal moment in our history as the pandemic radically transforms everyday life. Through this exhibition Stamps Gallery asks the UM community to come together as artists and audiences and envision models for inclusion that are grounded in equality\, belonging and empathy.\n\nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition includes work by Emily Albright\, Adriana Alcala\, Nathan Byrne\, David Forsee\, Eloise Jansenn\, Rey Jeong\, Sohyun Lim\, Anika Love\, Maggie McConnell\, Willian Minzer\, Judah Premble\, Casey Rheault\, Natalia Rocafuerte\, Jenna Scheen\, Ellie Schmidt\, Abigail Seguin\, LaKyla Thomas\, Elijah Thompson\, Benjamin Winans\, and Molly Wu.\n\nArtwork was selected through an open call by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V.

Just as people of all faiths and no faiths\, and all backgrounds\, creeds\, and colors banded together decades ago to fight for equality and justice in a peaceful\, orderly\, non-violent fashion\, we must do so again.” His powerful words are a reminder for all of us - present and future generations to stay hopeful\, proactive\, and resilient in our collective efforts to end racial discrimination and foster a true democracy. \n\nIn this spirit\, Stamps Gallery invited the undergraduate and graduate students at Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, to design posters and make videos to respond and contemplate what each of us can do to build a stronger community\, one that is based on the values of racial equality\, justice and belonging. How can we acknowledge our own biases\, learn from each other\, and listen to the voices of those that have been silenced? We are at a pivotal moment in our history as the pandemic radically transforms everyday life. Through this exhibition Stamps Gallery asks the UM community to come together as artists and audiences and envision models for inclusion that are grounded in equality\, belonging and empathy.\n\nRespond/ Resist/ Rethink: A Stamps Student Poster & Video Exhibition includes work by Emily Albright\, Adriana Alcala\, Nathan Byrne\, David Forsee\, Eloise Jansenn\, Rey Jeong\, Sohyun Lim\, Anika Love\, Maggie McConnell\, Willian Minzer\, Judah Premble\, Casey Rheault\, Natalia Rocafuerte\, Jenna Scheen\, Ellie Schmidt\, Abigail Seguin\, LaKyla Thomas\, Elijah Thompson\, Benjamin Winans\, and Molly Wu.\n\nArtwork was selected through an open call by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V. Johnson\, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo\, Endi Poskovic\, Destini Riley\, and Stamps Gallery.\n\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

The southern portion of the North Carolina coast has consistently provided more than 50 percent of the wild harvest in the state\, which has been driving interest in creating new oyster farms throughout the region. Simultaneously\, increased interest in shellfish aquaculture has placed pressure on resource managers making siting decisions. New farms provide an opportunity to assess conditions after farm installation\, making North Carolina estuaries an ideal place to explore the ecosystem services of shellfish farming. This project aimed to link small-scale changes around oyster farms with larger-scale ecosystem-level alterations\, and provide local assessment of ecosystem services to be considered by decision-makers.\n\nIn this webinar\, project team members will describe how two years of intensive sampling in and adjacent to oyster farms and ongoing collaboration with oyster farms and the policy community has resulted in the production of visualization tools and models that will allow resource managers\, shellfish growers\, and other end users to make better decisions when determining the locations and scales of shellfish farming operations. The team found that environmental impacts of these farms were minimal\, but that policy decisions were more complex. This finding led to an additional project examining the extent of shellfish aquaculture within the nationwide Reserve system.

Equipped with unprecedented spatial resolution\, electronic detection\, and magnetic tunability\, scanning tunneling microscopy has become an advanced tool to probe and discover the emergent topological matter. In this talk\, I will review the proof-of-principle methodology to study the elusive quantum topology in this discipline\, with particular attention on the studies under a vector magnetic field as the new direction\, and project future perspectives in tunneling into other hitherto unknown topological matter.\n\nKey references:\n\nJia-Xin Yin et al.

Using the famous wills case Dew v. Clark and Clark as a jumping off point\, this talk will explore some of the ways in which an individual’s legal personhood became\, in part\, a matter of medical judgment and the law itself became to a certain extent medicalized.\n\nJohn Carson is associate professor of history at the University of Michigan.

Davenport Lecture in the Medical Humanities DESCRIPTION:The Center for the History of Medicine is pleased to announce its 19th Annual Horace W. Davenport Lecture in the Medical Humanities.\n\nThis year’s lecture will feature Dr. Powel Kazanjian\, Professor and Chief of Infectious Diseases at the University of Michigan Medical School. Dr. Kazanjian is also Professor of History at the University of Michigan\, where he teaches on the history of epidemics and the history of sexually transmitted diseases. He has written extensively about the history of AIDS\, syphilis\, commercial botulism\, plague\, and the development of bacteriology in America.\n\nDr. Kazanjian will deliver his lecture\, “The Persistence of Contagious Diseases.” By the later 20th century\, it had become common for public health officials and lay writers to envision a future in which epidemic diseases had been eliminated. The appearance of the new deadly disease that would eventually be known as AIDS in 1981\, however\, challenged their confident vision. The potent antiretroviral therapies (ART) introduced in 1996 enabled individuals receiving treatment to survive a full lifespan. By 2014\, a global UNAIDS campaign sought to “end AIDS as a global health threat” by 2030” by maximizing the distribution of ART to infected people. The UNAIDS campaign is conceptually similar to earlier 20th century programs that sought to end syphilis by expanding specific therapy. The failure of these syphilis campaigns\, together with the realization that today’s efforts to end AIDS is falling short of their 2020 milestones\, however\, raise uncertainties about whether the ongoing UNAIDs campaign will succeed. Socioeconomic and behavioral factors have hindered the biomedical campaigns to eliminate syphilis and AIDS. To be effective\, scientific public health campaigns must also address how to rectify the socioeconomic conditions and human behaviors that vex elimination efforts and lead to emerging epidemics like AIDS and Covid-19. Epidemic diseases\, along with efforts launched to contain them\, have been and continue to be an inescapable part of our existence.\n\nPlease join us for this engaging and timely online lecture from one of the nation’s premiere infectious disease experts.\n\nThursday\, November 12\, 2020\n\n3:00 pm – 4:30 pm\n\nZoom link: https://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93152555886 UID:78729-20113300@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78729 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Chemistry,History,Humanities,Law,LGBT,Medicine,Philosophy,Pre Med,Pre-Health,Public Health,Research,Social Sciences,Sociology LOCATION:Off Campus Location - none CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20191121T181643 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201021T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201021T170000 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. 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:68986-17207599@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.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more!

The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent\, but to build confidence in any communication or setting.\n\nParticipants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. The workshop typically runs for 10 weeks\, but will depend on when it begins. If the group workshop does work with your schedule\, please contact us\; individual consultations are available.\n\nWhat to Expect\n* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives\n* Both group and individual activities\n* Exercises for improving articulation\, rate control\, and projection\n* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions\n* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist\n\nContact UCLL at (734) 764-8440 or visit LanguageExperts.org for more details and to register.

While these shocks have been studied for decades by spacecraft\, telescopes\, and numerical simulations\, there remain key open questions in shock physics\, such as: How do shocks accelerate particles to extremely high energies? or How are particles heated across a shock? Laboratory experiments thus provide a significant opportunity to both complement spacecraft and remote sensing observations with well-controlled and well-diagnosed datasets\, and to help benchmark numerical simulations that bridge laboratory and astrophysical systems.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss recent results from experiments and simulations on the formation and evolution of collision-less shocks created through the interaction of a supersonic laser-driven magnetic piston and magnetized ambient plasma. Through advanced diagnostics a fast\, high-Mach-number shock is observed. Direct probing of particle velocity distributions reveals the coupling between the piston and ambient plasmas that is a key step in forming magnetized collisionless shocks. Particle-in-cell simulations further detail the shock formation process\, the role of collisionality\, and the dynamics of multi-ion-species ambient plasmas. I will also discuss how this experimental platform complements spacecraft missions and can allow novel investigations of shock heating and particle acceleration.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Schaeffer is an Associate Research Scholar in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University. He received his BA in Physics at Cornell University and his PhD in Physics from UCLA\, and did his postdoctoral work at Princeton in high-energy-density laboratory astrophysics. Dr. Schaeffer has extensive experience in experiments involving magnetized laser plasmas\, collisionless shocks\, and magnetic reconnection\, and a keen interest in bridging laboratory and astronomical observations. He also has expertise in a wide range of diagnostics\, including Thomson scattering\, refractive imaging\, proton radiography\, and x-ray imaging. He has authored dozens of papers and has presented at numerous conferences around the world.

Barriers to implementation include clinician trust\, algorithm credibility and actionability\, promoting clinician literacy in machine learning methods\, and mitigating unintended consequences. \n\nIn the high-risk operating room setting\, anesthesiologists are recognized leaders in patient safety\, and manage uncertainty through careful considerations of risk and benefit based upon a thorough understanding of disease processes and treatment mechanisms. In this talk\, the speaker highlights how obstacles to implementation of machine-learning based healthcare applications can be mitigated\, and how an understanding of such applications can be promoted among clinically-minded anesthesiologists who may not necessarily be expert data scientists.\n\nShort Bio:\nDr. Mathis has research interests in improving perioperative care for patients with advanced cardiovascular disease\, particularly for patients with heart failure. As part of the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG)\, an international consortium of perioperative databases for which U-M serves as the coordinating center\, he serves as Associate Research Director and plays a lead role in integration of MPOG data with data from national cardiac and thoracic surgery registries. He also has interests in leveraging novel data science methods to understand patterns within highly granular intraoperative physiologic data\, studying hemodynamic responses to surgical and anesthetic stimuli as a means for early detection of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure.\n\nhttps://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=SHh6R1FOQm8xMThRemdxTEFMWWpVdz09 UID:78531-20058232@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78531 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Cardiovascular,Chemistry,Discussion,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Engineering,Free,Human Genetics,Information and Technology,Learning Health Systems,Lecture,Life Science,Mathematics,Medicine,Pediatrics,Physics,Public Health,Research,Science,seminar,Structural Biology,Talk LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201002T120003 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201021T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201021T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Pre-Law 101 for Transfer Students DESCRIPTION:This session will provide you with the first steps in exploring a career in law.

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, Detroit. \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W.

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:68986-17207600@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.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more!

His laboratory has worked for many years on the cellular basis of memory storage\, recovery of function after brain injury and a few other topics. He has a longstanding interest in scientific communication and served for many years as the chief editor of the Journal of Neurophysiology. He is the author of three bestselling books on the biology of behavior: The Accidental Mind (2007)\, The Compass of Pleasure (2011) and Touch: The Science of Hand\, Heart and Mind (2015) which\, to date\, have been translated into 19 languages.

Despite being former arch rivals and unlikely bedfellows for ideological reasons\, the coalition has proved resilient: despite landslide wins in recent elections\, the LDP stays in the coalition. Why? We present compelling new evidence that Japan's mixed-member electoral system\, variants of which are used in 29 other countries around the world\, enables the LDP to coordinate votes with the Komeito in a way that helps both parties win more seats than they otherwise would. The coalition makes this coordination \"stick\" by withholding government resources from supporters who do not comply and granting it to supporters who do.\n\nAmy Catalinac is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Politics at New York University. Her current research is on distributive politics in Japan. Her book\, Electoral Reform and National Security in Japan: From Pork to Foreign Policy was published with Cambridge University Press in 2016. Her articles have appeared in the American Political Science Review\, Journal of Politics\, and Comparative Political Studies\, among others. She teaches courses on international relations\, comparative politics\, Japanese security policy\, and Japanese politics.\n\nPlease register for the Zoom webinar at: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Rrb8yH7CSuihp0MzCmadeQ\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.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nInformation-theoretic Generalization Bounds for Noisy\, Iterative Learning Algorithms\n\nAbstract:\nDeep learning approaches dominate in many application areas. Our understanding of generalization (relating empirical performance to future expected performance) is however lacking. In some applications\, standard algorithms like stochastic gradient descent (SGD) reliably return solutions with low test error. In other applications\, these same algorithms rapidly overfit. There is\, as yet\, no satisfying theory explaining what conditions are required for these common algorithms to work in practice. In this talk\, I will discuss standard approaches to explaining generalization in deep learning using tools from statistical learning theory\, and present some of the barriers these approaches face to explaining deep learning. I will then discuss my group's recent work (NeurIPS 2019\, 2020) on information-theoretic approaches to understanding generalization of noisy\, iterative learning algorithms\, such as Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics\, a noisy version of SGD.\n\nBio:\nDaniel Roy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto\, with cross appointments in Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering.

These methods have become quite popular in recent years\, but they are not new. Early applications in the 1980’s featured more heuristic expert systems approaches\, but by the 1990’s supervised learning methods were beginning to predominate. I began applying genetic algorithms to some of my problems during that timeframe. Uses continued to progress to the point where these tools have become nearly as standard as statistical analyses.\n\nThe environmental sciences possess a host of interesting problems amenable to advancement by intelligent techniques. We will review the evolution from the early applications and how they have impacted these sciences. We will discuss the types of applications that have been most prevalent as well as my own journey as a physical scientist applying AI as a tool for environmental problems. The talk will touch on topics in weather forecasting\, probabilistic prediction\, climate applications\, optimization problems\, downscaling model runs\, and emulating processes in models. We will finish with a look at where AI is being applied to environmental science\, appears to be going in the future\, and some thoughts on how these methods might be best blended with the physical / dynamical modeling approaches to further advance our science.

Inman\, Ph.D.\nHarm Buning Collegiate Professor\nDepartment of Aerospace Engineering\nUniversity of Michigan\n\nGliding birds perform some interesting non-aircraft like shapes with their wings and tails. Birds also respond to gusts in unique ways. These observations have motivated the study of shape changing\, or morphing aircraft. Several unique uses of piezoceramic composites and shape memory alloys to achieve advantageous airfoil shapes are presented inspired by the incredible performance avian species achieve. The aerodynamics and control that birds use in gliding result in efficiencies in performance not yet realized by fixed wing aircraft. With the advent of smart\, multifunctional composites\, it is possible to implement motions inspired by avian gliding in small\, unmanned air vehicles (UAV). Initially motivated by the casual observation of flight control motions made by birds\, morphing research has proceeded with only limited understanding of how and why birds use their aerodynamic surfaces for flight control and gust alleviation. A summary of relevant previous results from two fields: avian biology and morphing aircraft\, is presented followed by some current results on real time computing for learning control to attempt to emulate a bird’s ability to fly-by-feel. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDaniel J. Inman received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University in Mechanical Engineering in 1980 and is the Harm Buning Collegiate Professor of former Chair of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan\, Since 1980\, he has published eight books (on vibration\, energy harvesting\, control\, statics\, and dynamics)\, eight software manuals\, 20 book chapters\, over 400 journal papers and 650 proceedings papers\, given 65 keynote or plenary lectures\, graduated 67 Ph.D. students and supervised more than 75 MS degrees. He works in the area of applying smart structures to solve aerospace engineering problems including energy harvesting\, structural health monitoring\, vibration suppression and morphing aircraft. He is a Fellow of AIAA\, ASME\, IIAV\, SEM and AAM.

She is the creator and author of Native Appropriations\, a blog discussing cultural appropriation and stereotypes of Native peoples in fashion\, film\, music\, and other forms of pop culture. She is also a co-host of the All My Relations Podcast that aims to explore our relationships— relationships to land\, to our creatural relatives\, and to one another.\n\nThrough her writing and activism\, Keene questions and problematizes the ways Indigenous peoples are represented\, asking for celebrities\, large corporations\, and designers to consider the ways they incorporate \"Native\" elements into their work. She is very interested in the way Native peoples are using social and new media to challenge misrepresentations and present counter-narratives that showcase true Native cultures and identities.\n\nAdrienne holds a doctorate in Culture\, Communities\, and Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her research focuses on college access for Native (American Indian\, Alaska Native\, and Native Hawaiian) students and the role of precollege access programs in student success. She is currently working on a book about Native students in the college process\, documenting the work of College Horizons\, an incredible precollege program for Native students. \n\nThis talk will focus on stereotypes and cultural appropriation\, and looks at the ways Native peoples are represented throughout popular culture and the ways Native peoples are pushing back on misrepresentation through social and new media. This talk explores the ways Native peoples have harnessed the power of storytelling through social media to change perceptions\, make our communities visible\, and tell our own modern\, diverse stories in our own voices.\n\nRSVP to attend this event: https://myumi.ch/Yy3zY UID:78723-20109386@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78723 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Diversity Equity and Inclusion,MESA,Native American,Native American Heritage Month,Student Affairs,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201009T165605 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201022T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201022T203000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Election 2020: Let’s Talk About It DESCRIPTION:Join U-M PoliSci faculty members Ted Brader\, Christian Davenport\, and Mary Gallagher to discuss a campaign season like no other and the issues that are defining it. \n\nRSVP by October 19\, 2020.\n\nThe panel will be moderated by Nancy Burns\, Warren E.

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H.

With writers more in demand than ever in Hollywood\, this craft lecture will explore how literary writers can put themselves in a position to do both.\n\n\nJenny Zhang’s debut story collection\, *Sour Heart*\, centers on immigrants who have traded their endangered lives as artists in China and Taiwan for the constant struggle of life at the poverty line in 1990s New York City. Zhang is currently adapting *Sour Heart* into a feature-length film for A24.\n\nFrom the young woman coming to terms with her grandmother’s role in the Cultural Revolution to the daughter struggling to understand where her family ends and she begins\, to the girl discovering the power of her body to inspire and destroy\, *Sour Heart*'s seven stories illuminate the complex and messy inner lives of girls struggling to define themselves. \n\nJenny Zhang is also the author of the poetry collection\, *Dear Jenny\, We Are All Find*. Her second collection of poetry\, *My Baby First Birthday*\, is forthcoming from Tin House. She is the recipient of the Pen/Bingham Award for Debut Fiction and the LA Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction.\n\n\nThe Zell Visiting Writers Series brings outstanding writers to campus each semester.

In practice\, this can lead to severe vulnerabilities\, limited successful generalization to unseen data\, and hinder safe deployment. While practitioners are increasingly aware of these problems\, the common paradigm of reporting model performance continues to rely on the train-val-test i.i.d. splits.\n\nIn this talk\, I will introduce the Robustness Gym: an easy-to-use and extendable framework to concisely evaluate the robustness and diagnose model vulnerabilities using data slices\, i.e.\, user-defined splits or transformation of evaluation data\, on a wide range of NLP tasks in both classification and generation. Data slices are generic and can represent\, for example\, semantic sub-populations (gender\, age splits)\, augmentations (sub-word substitutions)\, adversarial attacks\, or statistical splits (e.g.\, by word frequency).\n\nOur framework is flexible and enables users to programmatically define and evaluate on data slices.\n\nThe Robustness Gym provides an overview of model performance on data slices and supports a wide variety of evaluation metrics\, including accuracy\, precision-recall\, and fairness metrics. Our framework can also evaluate model robustness under dataset manipulations\,including a range of adversarial attacks\, data-augmentations\, and different evaluation sets such as stress tests and contrast sets.\n\nRSVP here:https://salesforce.recsolu.com/external/events/AhRCRs2BDJ8W7gVJLaUtdw UID:78697-20107387@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78697 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200826T155721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T110000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:U-M Structure Seminar: Christina Howard DESCRIPTION:Christina Howard\nGraduate Student\nCierpicki Lab\nUniversity of MIchigan UID:76030-19655358@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/76030 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Lecture,Structural Biology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201107T063041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T125500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs: AI @APL (Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/Data Science opportunities at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab) DESCRIPTION:Are you passionate about providing real impact to the country’s toughest national security problems?\n\nDo you love to push the boundaries of science and technology?\n\nAre you searching for engaging work with an employer that prioritizes continual innovation?\n\nIf so\, APL cordially invites you to learn more about how we are using Data Science\, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to address some of the Nation’smost critical challenges. \n\nCome meet our Hiring Managers and TechnicalStaff to learn more about our work within the Asymmetric Operations Sector and other areas of the Lab.

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.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more!

They inspired my 30 year-long obsession with dynamin\, the mammalian homologue of *shibire.* Our subsequent studies of dynamin\, which began in the early 90s provide benefitted from the development of new technologies and from interdisciplinary collaboration. I’ll describe the twists and turns of our efforts to understand the mechanisms underlying dynamin-catalyzed fission\, the value of interdisciplinary collaborations\, and the importance of taking all data into account when formulating models. I’ll detail our current understanding of dynamin-catalyzed fission\, now supported by independent studies of others\, and briefly describe the many remaining unanswered questions\, keeping in mind (in the words of George Box) that\, *“All models are wrong\, but some are useful.\"* UID:77918-19941583@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/77918 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biophysics,Free,Industry Session,Research,seminar,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201107T063032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Director’s FinancialAnalyst (DFA) Program information session 10/23 DESCRIPTION:The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will be hosting information sessions about the DFA Program and the application process\, including a question-and-answer period\, conducted over WebEx.

The Indies of the Setting Sun: Asia and the Early Modern Spanish Geopolitical Imagination DESCRIPTION:Free event\; please register in advance at: http://myumi.ch/3qV0m\n\nRicardo Padrón will be discussing his new book\, *The Indies of the Setting Sun: How Early Modern Spain Mapped the Far East as the Transpacific West *(Chicago\, 2020). Against established historiography that emphasizes the ways in which America was “invented” as a continent separate from Asia relatively early in the history of European contact with the New World\, Padrón looks at the ways in which early modern Spaniards imagined the two continents as connected spaces. Crucial to this effort was the concept of the “Indies\,” which retained a powerful transpacific dimension throughout the sixteenth century\, in Spanish-speaking circles at least\, serving to figure East and Southeast Asia as the western frontier of Spain’s New World empire.\n \nPadrón is Associate Professor of Spanish at the University of Virginia. His earlier monograph\, *The Spacious Word: Cartography\, Literature\, and Empire in Early Modern Spain* (Chicago 2004) established his reputation as a scholar of early modern cartography\, broadly conceived\, and on the relationship between visual and verbal mapping. His work has been supported by grants from the American Council of Learned Societies and the National Endowment for the Humanities. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Renaissance Society of America.

They invoke a liminality that can be disruptive of\, and also a provocation to\, stability and order. Yet their outcomes are seldom predictable. It is precisely as threshold moments that they acquire their historical charge. Chaos and clamor\, a public outcry or protestation\, brings into focus the challenge of historical change: the often unexpected manner in which seemingly stable political and social orders can be suddenly made\, unmade\, and re-made. This theme invites us to offer new inflections on long-standing debates about the nature of history itself\, the relative weight of individual and collective actions\, of discrete events and moments\, and of longer-term historical trends. This semester we explore the disorganization that propels history and our approach towards it.\n\nPanelists: \n\nHoward Brick (Louis Evans Chair in US History\, University of Michigan)\nKatherine French (J.

Remarkably\, they have an intrinsic ability to self-organize into embryo-like or organ-like structures and will spontaneously form spatial patterns in a dish through interplay of biochemical signaling networks and cell mechanics. Understanding how they do this will both answer fundamental questions about developmental biology and aid countless therapeutic applications. The quantitative toolkit of physics is essential to unravel the mechanisms that underlie the complex spatiotemporal behavior of these cells as they self-organize. I will discuss how quantitative experiments with stem cells have led us to challenge existing models for cell differentiation and pitch a project to explore how physical forces influence cell fate decisions.\n UID:78664-20099532@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78664 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200929T113905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T140000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Phondi Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Phondi is a discussion and research group for students and faculty at U-M and nearby universities who have interests in phonetics and phonology.

It was the first legislation for women’s voting rights. Not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 were voting rights of ALL women protected and enforced\, and intimidation tactics progressively eliminated.  The Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote poster campaign\, organized by AIGA in partnership with the League of Women Voters\, commemorates this milestone. A core group of invited women of design submitted the first 65 non-partisan posters\, to launch the initiative with their vision and voices. Through the posters\, these women joined forces to collectively contribute to dialogue in design and society. This moment in history is an incredible opportunity to catalyze women in design\, voting rights\, citizenship\, community\, and diversity. The collection aspires to not only support present day voter participation\, but to also serve as a backdrop for discourse and examination of the history of voting rights and women’s fight for equality.  The poster initiative continues at aiga.org/vote\, where AIGA members can contribute posters to motivate the American public to register and turn out to vote in the 2020 general election\, as well as local elections to come. Posters are available for free download online.\n\nThe Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote exhibition at Stamps Gallery includes a selection of the 65 posters chosen by a committee of Stamps faculty\, students\, and staff including Nicholas Dowgwillo\, Eloise Janssen\, Keesa V. Johnson\, Francis Nunoo-Quarcoo\, Endi Poskovic\, Destini Riley\, and Stamps Gallery. The exhibition includes posters by Audrey Bennett\, Johanna Björk\, Karen Cheng\, Emily Comfort\, Jenny El-Shamy\, Dinah Fried\, Karin Fong\, Anne M.

This workshop explores the roles open to Muslim characters in serialized comics and graphic novels. The medium of serialized comics\, commercialized in the twentieth century by mainstream comics publishers such as Marvel and DC\, and epitomized by their respective superhero universes\, has long been associated with a lack of racial and religious diversity\, the sexualization of female characters\, and a reader base that is stereotypically young\, male\, and white. Minority characters were often limited to tokenized villains or sidekicks designed for comic relief. But the contemporary young Muslim female superhero Ms. Marvel symbolizes a comics landscape that is changing. In the contexts of the Gulf Wars\, 9/11\, the Arab Spring\, the Palestinian conflict\, ongoing civil unrest in the Middle East\, and worldwide refugee migrant crises\, writers and artists from the Muslim and Arab worlds\, and others writing journalistically and historically about those locales\, are at the forefront of graphic medium literary production.\n \nGraphic novels and comics by and about Muslims and Arabs comprise a growing and distinctive narrative strain within comics studies—one that this event of comics and Muslim and Arab Studies artists and scholars seeks to investigate.\n \nChris Gavaler (On the Origin of Superheroes: From the Big Bang to Action Comics No. 1\, 2015) explores the Islamicist history of the 20th-century superhero.\n \nEsra Mirze Santesso (Disorientation: Muslim Identity in Contemporary Anglophone Literature\, 2013) discusses human rights discourse in narratives of war and dissidence in Iran and Kashmir.\n \nKarla Mallette (European Modernity and the Arab Mediterranean\, 2010) reports on resistance to Muslim and other minority identity politics from some comics readers.\n \nAliyah Khan (Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean\, 2020) examines orientalist representations of Muslim female superheroes.\n\nSena Duran is a third-year PhD student in the department of American Culture. Her research approaches representations of Muslims in U.S. visual media through Feminist and Genre Studies frameworks\, with specific attention to the use of monstrosity and eroticism in narratives of U.S. nationalism\, empire\, and racial subjugation. \n\n \nThe presenters bring postcolonial\, decolonial\, comics studies\, and historicizing methodologies to bear on understanding commonalities and differences among Islamic\, Muslim\, and Arab graphic narratives\, reading them as transnational works that\, as many of their subjects do\, cross borders and resist authoritarian states.\n \n \nCosponsored by: The Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, The Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, Middle East Studies\, and Arab and Muslim American Studies UID:78302-20004861@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78302 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:cmenas,Discussion,islamic studies,Lecture,Muslim,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201020T160024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201023T150000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:HistLing Discussion Group: Old Chinese messages from underground DESCRIPTION:HistLing is devoted to discussions of language change.

Intentionally minimal\, each image distills an interaction\, traumatic incident\, or power imbalance into an accessible visual narrative. Recognizable objects such as chairs\, roots\, ladders\, or spotlights set the stage for the story to unfold. Events are captured midstream\, suspended in time like a felt film still.\n\nThe exhibition is inspired\, in part\, by the courage\, testimony\, and experiences of women (like Christine Blasey Ford) who publicly report assault\, harassment\, or misconduct. The #MeToo movement gave voice to thousands of women to tell their personal stories\, but also exposed a hostile backlash meant to silence them. The title\, “Real and Imagined\,” is a deliberate contradiction\; if one is true\, the other must not be. In practice\, however\, both terms are used to reference a woman’s testimony and determine how it is publicly interpreted. Her account is accepted as truthful by many and simultaneously dismissed as imaginary by the court of public opinion: “her memory is wrong\,” “she imagined it.”\n\nThe works in “Real and Imagined: Fabric Works and Video Animations” make difficult conversations and relationships tangible by stripping them down to their essentials.\n\nWordless physical gestures highlight the psychological and emotional forces at play behind even the smallest of interactions.\n\nBiography\nHeidi Kumao has created award-winning experimental films\, video installations\, cinema machines\, electronic clothing\, and kinetic sculptures. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally including shows at Art Science Museum Singapore\, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona\, Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona)\, and Museu da Imagem e do Som (São Paulo). She has received fellowships from the Creative Capital Foundation\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She is a professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nFall 2020 Hours and Policies\nBeginning September 15\, 2020\, Stamps Gallery will be open to University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 pm.\nAll visitors must have a valid M-Card to enter Stamps Gallery.

What issues would you work on\, what techniques would you deploy? That’s precisely the position the APS Office of Government Affairs found itself in nearly four years ago. The talk will describe the circumstances APS faced\, and how we responded\, focusing on particular APS campaigns that successfully pushed back against federal proposals for deep cuts to R&D funding and for a new tax on graduate students. The talk will then consider current issues and how APS is now using the grassroots-based approach it developed to advance legislation on STEM visa-reform and to pass legislation in the House of Representatives to address sexual harassment in STEM.\n\nBio:\nFrancis Slakey is the Chief External Affairs Officer of the American Physical Society\, overseeing the governmental\, international\, and industrial activities of APS. \n\nDr. Slakey received his Ph.D. in Physics in 1992 from the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign and was the Upjohn Lecturer on Science and Public Policy at Georgetown University where he founded the Program on Science in the Public Interest. He served in advisory positions for a diverse set of organizations including the National Geographic\, the Council on Foreign Relations\, the International Panel on Solutions to Sustainability\, the Creative Coalition\, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society\, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, a MacArthur Scholar\, and a Lemelson Research Associate of the Smithsonian Institution. \n\nDr. Slakey became the 28th American to summit Mt. Everest in an unguided environmental expedition that was the subject of the movie \"Beyond the Summit\"\, described in his international best-selling adventure memoir “To The Last Breath.” He is the first person in history to both summit the highest mountain on every continent and surf every ocean. In recognition of his adventures\, as part of the 2002 Olympic Games\, he carried the Olympic torch from the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

Determining the petrophysical changes that occur to subducted crust along the downgoing slab–asthenospheric mantle interface is critical to defining mass and energy transport between the hydrosphere and deep interior\, and for constraining long-term geochemical cycles. Here\, I show via petrological modelling how phase assemblages\, the P–T conditions of key devolatilization reactions\, and the effect of densification with depth vary for typical MORB along newly defined “hotter” subduction zone geotherms for cold\, warm\, and average environments. The depth and extent of devolatilization of typical MORB is strongly dependent on the geotherm under which the oceanic crust subducts. At the onset of subduction along a warm geotherm\, metabasites contain ~3 wt% of H2O\, and release ~45% of the bulk-rock H2O in a fluid pulse at ~20 km. Below these depths\, metabasites will dehydrate gradually liberating 45% of the bulk-rock H2O and complete dehydration will be achieved at ~70 km. Oceanic crust subducting along an average geotherm will contain ~3.5 wt% of H2O at the onset of subduction\, and will release ~40% of the bulk-rock H2O in two fluid pluses occurring at ~30 and 50 km. Below these depths\, the metabasite will dehydrate gradually liberating ~50% of the bulk-rock H2O and complete dehydration will be achieved at ~80 km. By contrast\, at the onset of cold subduction\, metabasites will typically be H2O undersaturated\, and will dehydrate gradually at different depths\, subducting ~0.6 wt% of H2O to sub-arc depths. Metabasites subducting along a warm and average geotherm will liberate most of the fluids at shallower depths\, suggesting that these lithologies might preferentially exhume\, yet MORB subducting along cold geotherms will not dehydrate until greater depths\, inhibiting buoyancy-driven exhumation. While we show that metabasites formed along warmer geotherms are denser than metabasites from colder geotherms\, buoyancy-driven exhumation provoked by fluids play a most important role than the overall metabasite bulk-rock density. We also put forward that slab melting occurs only along the hottest subduction geotherms. In these subduction zones\, whereas melting is predicted to occur at subarc depths—allowing adakitic magmatism. We posit that in the hottest subduction zones\, aqueous fluids and hydrous melts enhance chemical recycling.

This subject gap advantage (SGA) is a fact that grounded\, conjecturally\, Keenan & Comrie (1977)’s Accessibility Hierarchy and one which has been extensively investigated (e.g.\, Kwon\, Lee\, Gordon\, Kluender & Polinsky\, 2010). In recent years a new generation of studies has challenged or re-characterized the SGA by incorporating data from language users whose grammars provide better resources for disentangling competing theories\, and who are not typically included in psycholinguistic experiments. This has certainly resulted in a more nuanced understanding of the SGA and relative clause processing. But more than that\, it has also mapped out new topics\, such as the processing of verb-initial clauses or ergative-absolutive case systems. In the first part of the talk\, I will tour this new state-of-the-art to highlight some of these emerging findings and research agendas. In the second part of the talk\, I will draw on work from my own group on Chamorro and Zapotec to support the idea that the SGA is driven fundamentally by timing\, that is\, the order in which syntactic hypotheses are projected from partial evidence.

For those who purchased before 12/15\, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.\n\nSynopsis:\nAn intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life\, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

Wright Museum of African American History and the U-M Museum of Art\, with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama explores global exchange\, commerce and the troubling histories of colonialism and slavery in the Western world. \n\nMahama's artistic practice illustrates\, as he explains\, how art education\, art and cultural opportunities \"allow for people to find new ways to acquire knowledge\, not only of themselves\, but their histories and the places and spaces in which they find themselves.\"\n\nEnveloping the contours of a museum building or wall\, the blankets of jute fibers are meant to contrast with the monumentality of the institutional buildings and spaces they cover\, becoming remnants and traces that reference the hands of laborers\, the imprints of colonialism and the interference of Britain and the U.S. in Ghanaian history.\n\nThe project marks the first outdoor exhibition of Mahama's work in the United States. It is responsive to the present moment\, offering students and the broader community the opportunity to engage with the arts in a public space at a time when gatherings inside buildings and museums are limited.\n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nGhanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s installations are cumulative moments of reckoning\, mending\, and recycling. Things fall apart\, come undone. His constructions defy any notions of permanence and longevity. They are monuments to the in-between and the upending\, begging the question\, “What can we do?”\n\nMahama incorporates jute sacks—synonymous with the trade markets of Ghana where he lives and works—as a raw material. He works collaboratively with his community to complete the extensive sewing of the sacks required in preparation for his projects. For the U-M installations\, he incorporates materials from his previous seminal works over the last decade as a retrospective.\n\nThe markings\, stitching\, and signs of wear on the jute remind us of the many changing hands and endless labor behind international trade—the human toll of capitalism\, commodification\, and globalization. The fabric itself acts as metaphor for Ghana’s complicated history defined by Dutch colonialism and the Gold Coast slave trade\, British rule till 1957\, and a future de-railed by military coups post-independence.\n\nRather than grand gestures\, Mahama’s installations are humble acts of endurance. They are covert art take-overs\, subverting architecture and disrupting the pristine fascia of our institutional buildings. They hold us accountable for past trespasses. \n\nMahama is committed to offering his own country the same cultural opportunities and experiences available to those in the West. Most recently he designed and opened the Savannah Centre for Contemporary Arts in his hometown of Tamale Ghana\, contributing towards the expansion of his country’s contemporary art scene. An extension of his art practice\, the centre brings Mahama’s many visionary sketches to life\, creating classrooms in old airplanes\, a swimming pool for children’s play\, and public spaces for gatherings and the exchange of ideas.\n\nIn this pivotal year defined by Covid-19\, worldwide protests in support of Black Lives Matter\, climate change\, and our U.S. Presidential election in the balance\, Ibrahim Mahama’s work acknowledges failures and false promises\, but also the opportunities that can reveal themselves in times of crisis. \n\nPerhaps generations emerging from crisis can learn from the ghosts of the past and generate entirely new systems\, not motivated by profit or self-interest\, but by a deep commitment to the hard work ahead\, our willingness to do it\, and to the mutual space for dreams.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\, Institute for the Humanities and curator of In Between the World and Dreams \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is a multi-venue project led by the U-M Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, in partnership with UMMA and the Charles H.

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.

It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more!

Says the Washington Post: \"Lavin knows how to keep her audience guessing\, thinking\, and laughing at the same time.\" The prolific Christine has released 23 albums\, and she's coming to Michigan with a new one\, \"On My Way to .... Hooterville.\" Her many local fans already know it\, but others may not realize that by now she's accumulated a songbag of pointed satirical material that's just about unmatched in its size\, breadth\, and insight. She's always got a trenchant topical song or two at hand\, so get ready for new material from one of America's great comic songwriters!
