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. Wright Museum of African American History\, Detroit. \n\nIn-Between the World and Dreams is made possible by a grant from The Andrew W.

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!

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.

This semester\, Ford School students have been analyzing data from previous iterations of the Michigan Public Policy Survey (MPPS)\, a survey of Michigan local government officials conducted annually since 2008 by the Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\, to identify where there are and—importantly—are not differences along the urban-rural continuum. \n\nIn this virtual event\, these student researchers will share their research on the similarities and differences across the continuum with respect to:\n• The state of civic discourse (Kyron Smith)\n• Public participation in decision-making (Karley Thurston)\n• Citizen engagement (Christian Hunter)\n• Internet connectivity and access to information (Julie Rubin)\n• Privatization of local government services (Kristina Curtiss) UID:78986-20164583@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78986 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Politics,Public Policy LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201023T113941 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201116T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201116T122000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Metabolic Circuit DESCRIPTION:Do you want an intense workout?

This year’s conference will examine how the three functions of a modern central bank could evolve to create a more inclusive financial system. Areas of exploration may include:\n\n• How the functions of the modern central bank could shift to more \n actively promote inclusion and address poverty\, rather than \n responding to exclusion\,\n• The potential for central banks to operate as new kinds of utilities \n or direct service providers\,\n• The value and challenge of extending the regulatory perimeter to \n supervise new products\, services\, and networks\, and\n• The role of technology and innovation within central banks to help \n support both traditional and expanded functions.

This becomes especially important in times of crisis\, when shared behaviors can protect the most vulnerable. How can we promote group norms over personal desires? In this talk I will present data from two studies showing that the generic pronouns “you” and “we” (“you/we always eat turkey at Thanksgiving”) might provide an effective way to convey such message. Adults and children (age 6-7 and 8-9) regard speakers using generic pronouns as conforming to group norms (Study 1) and showing greater compassion (Study 2) compared to speakers using specific pronouns (“I” or “she). These findings suggest that subtle shifts in the way “we” talk can dramatically change the message\, from one of selfishness to one of togetherness.

DESCRIPTION:We will read and discuss The Right Side of History by Ben Shapiro. In his view\, many of the great accomplishments of the Western world are the result of Judeo-Christian values and the Greek-born power of reason. He traces the development of these attributes through history and shows how they created our modern society.\nBut now there are signs things are changing. The author argues that Western civilization is in a crisis of purpose and ideas. We have let grievances replace our sense of community\, allowed political expediency to limit individual rights and are ignoring the needy.\nHe talks about practical ways we can use our differences to regain our footing as a society. Gerry Lapidus has conducted OLLI book discussion classes since 2005. The Study Group meets on Mondays Nov. 16 to Dec. 14 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Preregistration 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. The exhibition includes posters by Audrey Bennett\, Johanna Björk\, Karen Cheng\, Emily Comfort\, Jenny El-Shamy\, Dinah Fried\, Karin Fong\, Anne M.

Rewards for completing a task in such a setting are few and far between (sparse rewards)\, making it difficult for the agent to figure out what to do next. In this work\, we show that these challenges can be overcome by including an auxiliary task: learning to predict how objects change upon interaction (the attentive object-model). We show that when this model is used to learn representations of objects\, the core learner (a relational RL agent) receives the dense training signal it needs to rapidly find a solution. We demonstrate results in the 3D AI2Thor simulated kitchen environment with a range of challenging food preparation tasks. We compare our method's performance to several related approaches and against the performance of an oracle: an agent that is supplied with ground-truth information about objects in the scene. We find that our model achieves performance closest to the oracle in terms of both learning speed and maximum success rate. With further analysis\, we also demonstrate that the attention model is key to the success of our method.

General relativity now predicts that measurable energy shifts\, like the well-known photon redshift\, occur in all material with equation of state magnitude greater than 0.01. Objects that mimic classical black holes\, but contain dark energy interiors (GEODEs)\, can undergo a pronounced cosmological blueshift. In particular\, each member of a GEODE population can gain energy proportional to the physical volume of the universe\, while the population itself disperses in volume with the cosmological expansion.The resulting physical dark energy density is constant in time\, mimicking a cosmological constant. Assuming that stellar collapse remnants realized by Nature are actually GEODEs\, we discuss the implications for quasar masses at high redshift and the black hole mass function as measured by LIGO at low redshift.\n UID:79229-20233424@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79229 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201007T093100 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201116T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Seminar featuring: Michelle Hastings\, Professor\, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science DESCRIPTION:https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VWX5SY6lSiaNyh5Weh8cHw\n\nMichelle L. Hastings\, PhD \nProfessor\, Cell Biology and Anatomy\nDirector\, Center for Genetic Diseases\nRosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science\n\nABSTRACT: Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) have proven to be an effective therapeutic platform for the treatment of disease. These short\, single-stranded\, modified nucleotides function by base-pairing with the complementary sequence of an RNA and modulating gene expression in a manner that is dependent on the ASO design and targeting site. We have used ASOs to normalize aberrant gene expression associated with a number of diseases of the nervous system including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and Usher syndrome. One of our approaches is under development for the treatment of CLN3 Batten disease\, a fatal\, pediatric lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in a gene encoding the lysosomal membrane protein CLN3. The most common mutation associated with CLN3 Batten is a deletion of exons 7 and 8 (CLN3Δex78)\, which disrupts the mRNA open reading frame by creating a premature termination codon that results in the production of a truncated protein. We devised a therapeutic strategy for treating CLN3 Batten Disease using an ASO that basepairs to CLN3 pre-mRNA and alters splicing to correct the open reading frame of the mutated transcript. Treatment of CLN3Δex78 neonatal mice by intracerebroventricular injection of the ASO resulted in the desired splicing effect throughout the central nervous system\, improved motor deficits associated with the disease in mice\, reduced histopathological features of the disease in the brain and extended life in a severe mouse model of the disease. Our results demonstrate that ASO-mediated reading frame correction is a promising therapeutic approach for CLN3 Batten disease.\n\nKEYWORDS: pre-mRNA splicing\, Antisense oligonucleotides\, Usher syndrome\, Batten Disease\, lysosomal storage diseases UID:75868-19615934@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/75868 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Biosciences,Chemistry,Drug Discovery,Life Science,Materials Science,Medicine,Pharmacy,Postdoctoral Research Fellows,Pre Med,Public Health,Public Policy,Rackham,Research,Science,Structural Biology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201115T155105 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201116T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Evolving Role of the U.S. in the Gulf Region DESCRIPTION:This event is open to the public.\n\nJoin us for a virtual conversation co-hosted by the Gulf International Forum featuring Dr. Dania Thafer\, Executive Director of the Gulf International Forum (GIF)\, Abbas Khadim\, Director of Iraq Initiative at the Atlantic Council and General Anthony C.

Each year 5-15% of the world’s population is infected with influenza resulting in 3-5 million severe cases and 250\,000-500\,000 deaths. This presentation is concerned with the optimal influenza vaccine distribution in a heterogeneous population consisting of multiple subgroups. In our experiments\, each subgroup corresponds to a set of people within an age group living in a certain geographic area\, however the definition of subgroup is flexible. For example\, healthcare workers or nursing home residents can be considered as subgroups in real life policy decisions. To characterize the spread of influenza through interacting subgroups\, we employ an epidemic model that incorporates transmission dynamics and social distancing. The epidemic model is then coupled with a nonlinear mathematical program to find the critical vaccine allocation that minimizes vaccine usage. We also include an equity constraint to help public health authorities find a balanced vaccine allocation policy with respect to equity and effectiveness. Several detailed epidemic simulation models are developed in the literature to evaluate vaccination policies before their implementation so as to efficiently allocate resources. This study goes beyond evaluating a given vaccine allocation policy. The proposed approach can be utilized as a decision support tool to prescribe an equitable vaccine allocation policy to extinguish an emerging outbreak in its early stages. Furthermore\, the optimal objective function value of our model can inform public health authorities about the amount of vaccine stockpiles needed to stop future outbreaks. Our results indicate that consideration of group-specific transmission dynamics is paramount to the optimal distribution of influenza vaccines.\n\nShakiba Enayati is an Assistant Professor in Supply Chain and Analytics Department in the College of Business Administration at the University of Missouri- Saint Louis.

Kimmelman's remarks\, in conversation with Dean Jonathan Massey\, will be followed by a public interview with Taubman College's Agora and Dimensions publications\, exploring the role of journalists in issues of racial justice\, social equity\, health\, and climate change in the context of the built environment.\n\nSince he returned to New York from Europe in the fall of 2011\, Michael Kimmelman has been the architecture critic of The New York Times. He has reported from more than 40 countries and twice been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His work focuses on urban affairs\, public space\, housing for the poor\, infrastructure\, social equality and the environment\, as well as on design. A best-selling author\, he has won numerous awards over the years. The magazine New York titled an article about him “The People’s Critic.” In March 2014\, Mr. Kimmelman was given the Brendan Gill Prize for “insightful candor and continuous scrutiny of New York’s architectural environment\,” “that is journalism at its finest.\"\n\nFrom 2007 to 2011\, Mr. Kimmelman was based in Berlin\, covering Europe and the Middle East\, having devised the “Abroad” column. While there\, he reported on life under Hamas in Gaza\, the crackdown on culture in Putin’s Russia\, negritude in France and bullfighting in Spain\, among other subjects. He was previously The Times’s longtime chief art critic — “the most acute American art critic of his generation\,” according to the late Australian writer Robert Hughes.\n\nA graduate of Yale and Harvard\, adjunct professor at Columbia University and former Franke fellow at the Whitney Center for the Humanities at Yale\, he has contributed regularly to The New York Review of Books.\n\nThe Raoul Wallenberg Lecture was initiated in 1971 by Sol King\, a former classmate of Wallenberg's. An endowment was established in 1976 for an annual lecture to be offered in Raoul's honor on the theme of architecture as a humane social art.

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.

COVID-19 has brought to light the fragility of global supply chains and challenges health systems have faced to address the new health needs arising from COVID-19 while continuing to address traditional health care needs. Clearly\, resiliency of supply chains and health systems is essential. Exploring the elements of resilient health supply chains will be the focus of GHSCS 2020. Resiliency can be achieved through supply chain design\, appropriate use of technology\, leveraging partnerships and establishing proper governance systems but all these depend on a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the workforce who will be called upon to execute on the resilience strategy and fill in the inevitable gaps. \n\nGHSCS 2020 will explore these issues through a combination of keynotes & plenary speakers\, panel discussions\, and contributed talks. Like in the past\, the conference has assembled a collection of experts in and from the field – academics\, country planners\, NGOs\, logistics practitioners\, industry and donor representatives to explore these topics. The committee is particularly interested in capturing the voices from the field to learn and share experiences related to managing supply chains for and during COVID-19.\n\n43 countries represented by registered attendees UID:79395-20296427@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79395 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Public Health LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201110T115430 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201117T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201117T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Global Virtual Exchange Workshop DESCRIPTION:Faculty and staff from all University of Michigan campuses are invited to join the Tri-campus Virtual Exchange Initiative to learn about a high-impact educational practice that provides accessible forms of experiential global learning for diverse student populations.\n\n*Session 1: Making Global Learning Universal*\nTuesday\, 11/17\, 9:00 a.m. - 9:55 a.m.\n\nRegister for Session 1 at https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/dearborn/sessions/making-global-learning-universal/register/\n\nIntended Audience: Anyone interested in learning more about virtual exchange and making global learning more accessible to students\n\nWhy should global learning be included in all students’ education?\nHow does virtual exchange provide a broadly accessible platform for global learning?\nWhat are the examples of virtual exchange across the curriculum?\nWhat resources are available to faculty members who want to learn more?\n\n*Session 2: Assessment Best Practices in Virtual Exchange*\nTuesday\, 11/17\, 10:00 a.m. - 10:55 a.m.\n\nRegister for Session 2 at https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/dearborn/sessions/assessment-best-practices-in-virtual-exchange/register/\n\nIntended Audience: Those who are teaching\, have taught\, or are developing plans for a virtual exchange\n\nWhat should be assessed in a virtual exchange and what shouldn’t?\nHow should assessments be conducted?\nAre there assessments that allow for comparison of student learning versus other benchmarks?\n\nWorkshop Facilitator\nStephanie Doscher\, Ed.D.\nDirector\, Office of Global Learning Initiatives\, Florida International University\n\nStephanie Doscher is a frequent national presenter on global learning and virtual exchange.

However\, they can also contribute to balancing reproductive success. Here\, I analyze how chronic and acute ecological burdens affect the demography of Cayo Santiago rhesus macaques and propose life history trade-offs as a potential mechanism for maintaining fitness when experiencing ecological adversity. Specifically\, I decompose the effects of population density and hurricanes on population growth rate into survival and reproduction and quantify the life cycle transitions contributing the most to population fitness. My analysis shows that females exhibit a reduced reproductive output when experiencing these ecological adversities as a result of an overall decrease in mean age-specific fertility and a delay in sexual maturity. Yet\, these females exhibit the survival and lifetime reproductive success expected from other females that did not experience the same level of adversity in life. My analysis supports trade-offs between survival and reproduction as a mechanism that allows females to suppress fertility during particular years and allocate more energy to growth or survival\, in order to ensure future reproductive potential.

Areas of exploration may include:\n\n• How the functions of the modern central bank could shift to more \n actively promote inclusion and address poverty\, rather than \n responding to exclusion\,\n• The potential for central banks to operate as new kinds of utilities \n or direct service providers\,\n• The value and challenge of extending the regulatory perimeter to \n supervise new products\, services\, and networks\, and\n• The role of technology and innovation within central banks to help \n support both traditional and expanded functions.

Registration link below.\n \n “What is the ‘Chinese way’? How should China’s traditions speak to its future?” During the past three decades\, China’s intellectuals have been increasingly preoccupied with defining the country’s cultural identity in its pursuit of political modernity. While their positions vary\, intellectuals share the assumption that there are unique elements to China’s historical and cultural institutions\, and that China’s future ought to be based on this legacy. This exceptionalist turn is unfolding at a time when the party-state is in search of a new ideology based on nationalism. Understanding this recent turn and its continued political force requires us to revisit the deeper roots of modern Chinese national thought. Diverging from the dominant view that modern Chinese nationalism is a product of Western-style modernization\, this talk explores how the quest for a Chinese cultural identity became central to debates over political and moral values. This century-long pattern can help to shed light on where China’s intellectual and political life is heading.\n \n Wen Yu is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD in History from Harvard University in 2018. Her research focuses on China’s social and political thought\, ideological movements\, and intellectual culture from the seventeenth century to the present. Her dissertation\, \"The Search for a Chinese Way in the Modern World: From the Rise of Evidential Learning to the Birth of Chinese Cultural Identity\,” explores the roots and development of modern Chinese exceptionalism by tracing how the search for a Chinese cultural identity has become central to the intellectual debates over shared values in modern China. Her dissertation was awarded the 2017 Harold K. Gross Dissertation Prize.\n\nZoom webinar registration (required) is here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_I_97dhoFQ8e8YP-Om9ZctA UID:76166-19671599@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/76166 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Chinese Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200909T151908 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201117T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201117T132000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Political Economy Workshop (PEW) DESCRIPTION:Email political-economy-workshop@umich.edu for the meeting link.\n\nPEW provides a unique forum for doctoral students and faculty members to share and develop interdisciplinary research in political economy.

Researchers will collect and aggregate traffic information that can be used by connected vehicles traveling the corridor to improve their efficiency. The system consists of a set of road side units (RSU) which collect traffic data via vehicle-to-everything (CV2X) communication. Vehicles of different levels of automation may utilize the collected data when selecting their lane and controlling their longitudinal motion in order to maximize their fuel economy and minimize their travel time. The impact of these vehicles on the rest of the traffic flow is also being evaluated.\n\nAbout the speaker: Gabor Orosz received the MSc degree in Engineering Physics from the Budapest University of Technology\, Hungary\, in 2002 and the PhD degree in Engineering Mathematics from the University of Bristol\, UK\, in 2006. He held postdoctoral positions at the University of Exeter\, UK and at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. In 2010\, he joined the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor where he is currently an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering and in Civil and Environmental Engineering. During 2017-2018 he was a Visiting Professor in Control and Dynamical Systems at the California Institute of Technology. His research interests include nonlinear dynamics and control\, time delay systems\, and reinforcement learning with applications to connected and automated vehicles\, traffic flow\, and biological networks. He served as the Program Chair of the 2015 IFAC Workshop on Time Delay Systems and served as the General Chair of the 2019 IAVSD Workshop on Dynamics of Road Vehicles: Connected and Automated Vehicles.

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.

How likely are the oscillators to globally synchronize\, starting from random initial phases? One expects dense networks to have a strong tendency to synchronize and the basin of attraction for the synchronous state to be the whole phase space (except for a set of measure zero). But\, how dense is dense enough? In this (hopefully) entertaining Zoom talk\, we use techniques from nonlinear dynamics\, numerical linear algebra\, and computational algebraic geometry to derive the densest known networks that do *not* synchronize and the sparsest networks that do. This is joint work with Alex Townsend and Mike Stillman.\n\n___\n\nDr. Strogatz - Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cornell University - is the author of several international bestsellers about math\, including \"Infinite Powers\" and \"The Joy of x\" - the latter\, the title of an eponymous column in the New York Times and a new podcast series for Quanta Magazine. \n\nWith a vast body of work he is particularly well known for his publications on the small-world effect\; understanding how thousands of fireflies flash in synchrony\; why London's Millenium Bridge became unstable in 2000 just two days after it opened\; and his mathematical model of\nromance -- the \"Romeo and Juliet\" model.

Veterans are older on average than the general U.S. population and are thus at higher risk for chronic disease. Further\, veterans report more delays when seeking healthcare. The Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare System continuously works to develop policies and technologies that aim to improve veteran access to care. Industrial engineering methods can be effective in analyzing the impact of such policies\, as well as designing or modifying systems to better align veteran patients’ needs with providers and resources.\n\nIn the talk\, I will focus on veteran access to chronic eye disease screening. Ophthalmologists in the VA have developed a platform in which ophthalmic technicians screen patients for major chronic eye diseases during primary care visits. We use mixed-integer programming-based facility location models to understand how the VA can determine which clinics should offer eye screenings\, which provider type(s) should staff those clinics\, and how to distribute patients among clinics. The results of this work show how the VA can achieve various objectives including minimizing the cost of treating a given population or maximizing the number of patients receiving care given a fixed budget.\n\nBio:\nAdam VanDeusen is a PhD candidate in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan working under Dr. Amy Cohn. His work applies operations research and systems engineering methods to public health policy and access to healthcare. As part of his graduate training\, Adam works with the University of Michigan Center for Healthcare Engineering & Patient Safety (CHEPS). Adam completed his undergraduate degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan and his Master of Public Health in Chronic Disease Epidemiology from Yale School of Public Health. Prior to his PhD\, Adam worked as the Senior Director of Clinical Programs at the Health Management Academy and as a Health Systems Engineer at Mayo Clinic.

The brain’s visual cortex contains specialized regions devoted to processing motion\, text\, faces etc. In congenitally blind individuals\, much of the ‘visual’ cortex responds strongly to auditory and tactile input rather than to visual stimuli\, a phenomenon known as cross-modal plasticity. Here I will discuss what our laboratory has discovered about the representation of sound in early blind individuals\, and what this reveals about the plasticity of the human brain.\n\nMeeting ID: 970 5999 8818 \nSee Zoom Link Below UID:79366-20286537@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79366 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Talk LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201111T133351 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201117T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professor Bing Zhou\, Donald A. Glaser Collegiate Professorship in Physics\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:Advances in physics research rely heavily on innovations of new technology and detector development. Invention of the bubble chamber by Donald A. Glaser\, a Michigan faculty who won the 1960 Nobel Prize in physics\, enabled discoveries of many new particles (resonances)\, which set the experimental foundation of building the quark model. Over the past five decades from bubble chamber to wire chamber\, the particle detector size grew from a table-top box to a football field\, such as the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In modern particle experiments\, thousands of physicists and engineers worldwide work together to build the most powerful microscopes to study particle physics at the most fundamental level to unlock the mysteries in nature. With an outstanding Michigan team\, we designed\, built\, and operated the largest precision muon detector for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC over the past twenty years. This detector is crucial for the Higgs boson discovery in 2012\, which was regarded as a scientific breakthrough in particle physics. The discovery opened a new window for research into the properties of the Higgs boson and the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism\, which has unique significance for the dynamics of the Standard Model of particle physics and stretches the horizons of even the most ambitious future-collider proposal.\n\nHi there\,\n\nYou are invited to a Zoom webinar.\nWhen: Nov 17\, 2020 04:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)\nTopic: Professor Bing Zhou\, the Donald A.

During college campus rallies\, labor strikes\, and public protests on the streets\, songs written and performed by noraep’ae became instrumental in fostering solidarity across regional and class divides. This talk examines the evolution of noraep’ae and their significance in the South Korean song movement\, analyzing in turn how singing enables a politics of participation and democratization of the voice.\n\nSusan Hwang is Assistant Professor of Contemporary Korean Literature and Cultural Studies in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Indiana University. Her scholarship engages with the cultural practices of resistance and dissent in South Korea\, as well as theories of translation and world literature. She is currently working on her book manuscript entitled “Uncaged Songs: Culture and Politics of Protest Music in South Korea.\" It is a cultural history of South Korea’s song movement that charts how songs became a powerful component of the struggle for democracy in South Korea during two of the nation’s darkest decades—the 1970s and the 1980s.

In the latter case\, we aim to resynthesize both the sound of a rare instrument as well as the audio visual experience of playing it in a virtual space. The Stearns Instrument Collection at the University of Michigan has served as an invaluable resource for this research. In this seminar I will discuss electrophones of interest in the collection that give rise to persisting issues of interaction design as well as research conducted with Dr. Anıl Çamcı (Performing Arts Technology\, SMTD) where instruments in the collection are scanned and modeled for virtual interaction. \n\nWatch at http://myumi.ch/dOPbx UID:79345-20280627@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79345 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Culture,Engineering,Free,Lecture,Music,Scholarship LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201106T121713 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T235900 SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Watch Me Work — Portraits of Self\" DESCRIPTION:In *Watch Me Work — Portraits of Self*\, Detroit artist Sydney G.

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.

COVID-19 has brought to light the fragility of global supply chains and challenges health systems have faced to address the new health needs arising from COVID-19 while continuing to address traditional health care needs. Clearly\, resiliency of supply chains and health systems is essential. Exploring the elements of resilient health supply chains will be the focus of GHSCS 2020. Resiliency can be achieved through supply chain design\, appropriate use of technology\, leveraging partnerships and establishing proper governance systems but all these depend on a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the workforce who will be called upon to execute on the resilience strategy and fill in the inevitable gaps. \n\nGHSCS 2020 will explore these issues through a combination of keynotes & plenary speakers\, panel discussions\, and contributed talks. Like in the past\, the conference has assembled a collection of experts in and from the field – academics\, country planners\, NGOs\, logistics practitioners\, industry and donor representatives to explore these topics. The committee is particularly interested in capturing the voices from the field to learn and share experiences related to managing supply chains for and during COVID-19.\n\n43 countries represented by registered attendees UID:79395-20296428@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79395 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Public Health LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201022T104855 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Principles of Text Analysis DESCRIPTION:The Population Dynamics and Health Program resumes our 2020 workshop series on Nov. 18th\, with a workshop entitled Principles of Text Analysis\, presented by Patrick van Kessel\, senior data scientist at Pew Research Center.

Dr. Nalbantian discusses how an absence of a national homeland accepted by all Armenians did not translate into a lack of political life. Focusing on the Armenian Diaspora of Lebanon\, Dr. Nalbantian shows how by the 1950s\, Armenians were firmly part of and ensconced in Lebanese politics. Armenians’ (re)-positioning vis-à-vis Lebanon’s imminent post-colonial independence in the mid-1940s included a fair share of double-entendres\, tensions\, and contrasts. Lebanese Armenians were divided along the right-left fault lines that divided Lebanese politics and society in general – they\, Nalbantian argues\, were Lebanonized. At the same time\, the Lebanese state was somehow Armenianized\, as it started to pay more attention to Armenian matters than before. For example\, the state directly intervened with military force in Armenian neighborhoods to end the internecine Armenian confrontation in December 1958. Armenian parties participated in and contributed to the considerable political tensions in Lebanon\, simultaneously\, they used their position within the Lebanese political system to jostle for power within the Armenian community. Dr. Nalbantian’s talk aims to register Lebanon as a space of both Armenian fashioning and belonging and challenge the tendency to read Middle East history through the lens of dominant (Arab) nationalisms and Lebanon through sectarianism.\n \n Tsolin Nalbantian is Assistant Professor of Modern Middle East History at Leiden University working on the social and cultural history of the Middle East. She is the co-editor of Critical\, Connected Histories series (Leiden University Press) and has published articles in Mashriq & Mahjar\, MESA Review of Middle East Studies\, and History Compass. Nalbantian is the author of \"Armenians Beyond Diaspora: Making Lebanon\" Their Own (Edinburgh University Press\; 2019).\n\nThe following text will be included on all II events unless you indicate otherwise:If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

This event will be virtual\, open to the public\, and free to attend.\n\nThis event will build on the conference hosted last year by continuing to explore how central banks are evolving and their potential to foster greater financial and economic inclusion in the United States and worldwide. This year’s conference will examine how the three functions of a modern central bank could evolve to create a more inclusive financial system. Areas of exploration may include:\n\n• How the functions of the modern central bank could shift to more \n actively promote inclusion and address poverty\, rather than \n responding to exclusion\,\n• The potential for central banks to operate as new kinds of utilities \n or direct service providers\,\n• The value and challenge of extending the regulatory perimeter to \n supervise new products\, services\, and networks\, and\n• The role of technology and innovation within central banks to help \n support both traditional and expanded functions.

Someone Else’s Problems: The Dissident Author Post-Dissidence DESCRIPTION:Postwar literature in Central and Eastern Europe\, particularly as it has been framed in Western Europe and North America\, has been shaped by strong personalities whose exile from their respective homelands helped enshroud their critiques of authoritarianism in so-called “moral authority.” But in quitting the Soviet Union\, Poland\, or Czechoslovakia for new lives in countries like the United States and France\, these writers often found themselves in the midst of sociopolitical upheavals whose terms they scarcely understood and to whose contexts their own struggles offered no clear analogy. This talk reevaluates the Western careers of four of the most prominent authors to whom such “moral authority” has been generally ascribed—Alexander Solzhenitsyn\, Joseph Brodsky\, Czesław Miłosz\, and Milan Kundera—against the backdrop of the struggle for civil rights and racial justice in their adopted countries.\n\nBenjamin Paloff is the author of *Lost in the Shadow of the Word (Space\, Time\, and Freedom in Interwar Eastern Europe)*—named the 2018 Best Book in Literary Studies by AATSEEL—and of the poetry collections *And His Orchestra* (2015) and *The Politics* (2011). He has translated nearly a dozen books\, most recently Dorota Masłowska’s *Honey\, I Killed the Cats*\, and has been awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (twice\, in poetry and in translation)\, the US Fulbright Programs\, the Stanford Humanities Center\, and the PEN/Heim Translation Fund\, among others. He is associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures and of comparative literature at the University of Michigan\, where he also serves as acting director of the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies.\n\nRegistration is required for this Zoom webinar at http://myumi.ch/DE70Z.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

We currently have over $2.7 billion in assets under management across 7 funds\, and have made over 100 investments in middle market business since we were founded in 2001. The key to our success has been a focused operational strategy that is based on working with\, learning from\, and developing exceptional people. This central component of our strategy has resulted in the establishment of Alpine’s PeopleFirst™ program\, which supports the passionate individuals who are the key drivers ofsuccess in building enduring companies. \n\n\nOUR INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS\nAlpine believes in empowering and developing young leaders. We currently offer two summer internship programs for juniors entering senior year— one program on the Investing team and one on the Sourcing team. Interns are anintegral part of the deal teams at Alpine and throughout the summers. We believe in giving interns ownership and responsibility early\, so they candrive real impact and maximize their learning. \n \nSome of the highlights of our internship programs include: two weeks of robust onboarding with financial modeling\, technical training\, practice expert calls\, unique culture workshops\, real deal work\, bonding/social activities\, business school case studies led by our founding partner and GSB professor\, Graham Weaver\, and more!\n \nInvesting Summer Program.\nThe primary responsibility of the investing intern is to assess potential investment opportunitiesfor Alpine’s fund. This entails proactively analyzing industries and individual companies\, identifying key trends and risks\, and highlighting attractive areas for investment. As deal processes “go live\,” the investing interns play a critical role on the deal team as they assist with various components of the deal process\, including company visits and diligence meetings with business executives.\n \nThe investing internship is most appropriate for those who wish to learn about the entire deal process\, from initial evaluation and negotiation\, through due diligence and comprehensive quantitative analyses\, to completing the transaction. Individualsin this role most likely see themselves as future investing partners.\n \nSourcing Summer Program.\nThe primary responsibility of the sourcing intern is to drive potential investment opportunities. Sourcing is a critical function within private equity\, as it is the tip of the spear and life blood for all other activities within a firm. The more proactive we can be in finding prospective deals\, the more opportunities we have to choose from in order to reach the best investment decisions. Interns will learn to source opportunities through multiple channels\, including investment banks\, business brokers\, and direct outreach to target companies. They will learn how to learn to navigate Alpine’s target industries\, analyze prospective deals\, improve their financial acumen\, and hone their dynamic communication skills.\n \nThe sourcing internship is most appropriate for someone that is motivated by utilizing metrics\, driving key search tactics\,and building impactful relationships. Individuals should be excited abouta role where they are regularly on the phone\, own proactive outreach\, get to learn about and research industries/trends\, and drive meetings witha range of external stakeholders.\n UID:79312-20272772@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79312 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201015T111742 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T140000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Ross Energy Week DESCRIPTION:The Energy Club at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business presents the first Ross Energy Week.\nTheme – Inflection Point 2020: Powering Our Next Decade\n\nWhen: November 16-20\, 2020\nWhere: Virtual \nRegistration is free.

When individuals move through these systems—as administrators\, instructors\, or learners—they make choices to participate in the perpetuation or the disruption of these inequities. While some perpetuation of inequity can be attributed to ignorance\, it is often true that individuals who do understand the harmful impacts of unjust behavior\, processes\, and structures often fail to address them. This session centers around an embodied case study depicting one man’s meditation on a personal failure and the choices he made afterward that defined his path as an educator. Through session activities\, participants will reflect on what failures of this kind indicate about the educational environments in which they occur and how such reflection might prime them to reshape the spaces in which they have responsibilities.\nIn this session\, participants will:\n\nReflect on their personal failures to act for justice.\nConsider how their lived relationship to social inequities within and outside of their educational environment shape their willingness and ability to act.\nExplore the tension between risk and responsibility when disrupting the status quo.\nPractice identifying opportunities for proactive justice work in their spheres of influence in the academy.\n\nThis workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

How would you respond? What makes situations like these so vexing is that they pit two fundamental drives against one another: protecting those we love versus abiding by universal rules that govern society. Yet the overwhelming majority of research in moral psychology has ignored the influence of relationships\, focusing instead on how people respond to the immoral acts of strangers. In this talk\, I will review findings from an integrative program of research that demonstrates how close relationships powerfully shape the way people respond to moral transgressions. First\, I will review research indicating that people are much more likely to protect close (vs. distant) others who act immorally\, particularly when the acts they observe are severe. Next\, I will address how cultural norms can influence the saw relationships have on moral reasoning. Finally\, I will present initial work exploring how relationships between transgressor and victim influence the victim’s response. Together\, these findings underscore the importance of taking context into account when studying moral reasoning.\n\n\nZach Reese\n\nTitle: \nCompetition within Relationships\n\nAbstract: \nPeople in the U.S. strive for achievement\, individuality\, and glory while simultaneously striving to build and maintain close relationships. What happens when our desire to be \"top dog\" conflicts with our desire to support our loved ones? In this presentation\, I will discuss several studies examining the roles competition and dominance play in our close relationships.

This variation reflects the combined actions of mutation introducing new genetic variants and selection eliminating deleterious ones. Comparative studies of gene expression in fruit flies\, yeast\, plants\, and mice have shown that the relative contributions of cis- and trans-acting variants to expression differences change over evolutionary time\, indicating that selection has different effects on cis- and trans-regulatory variants. To better understand the reasons for this now widely observed pattern\, we have been systematically studying the effects of mutation and selection on expression of the TDH3 gene of the baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This work has revealed differences between cis- and trans-regulatory mutations in their frequency\, effects\, and dominance. Differences in pleiotropy are also generally assumed to exist between cis- and trans-regulatory that affect their evolutionary fate\, but have been difficult to measure. In this talk\, I will discuss how newly arising cis- and trans-regulatory mutations affecting expression of this focal gene are structured within the regulatory network\, their pleiotropic effects on expression of all other genes in the genome\, and how these pleiotropic effects influence fitness. A computational model of regulatory evolution integrating empirically observed differences in properties of cis- and trans-regulatory mutations will also be presented and discussed.\n\nPatricia Wittkopp received a BS from the University of Michigan\, a PhD from the University of Wisconsin\, and did postdoctoral work at Cornell University.

Historically\, Niels Bohr was the first to hypothesize that quantum jumps occurred between two discrete energy levels of an atom. Experimentally\, quantum jumps were directly observed many decades later in an atomic ion driven by a weak deterministic force under strong continuous energy measurement. The times at which the discontinuous jump transitions occur are reputed to be fundamentally unpredictable. Despite the non-deterministic character of quantum physics\, is it possible to know if a quantum jump is about to occur? Our work1 provides a positive answer to this question: we experimentally show that the jump from the ground state to an excited state of a superconducting artificial three-level atom can be tracked as it follows a predictable “flight” by monitoring the population of an auxiliary energy level coupled to the ground state. The experimental results demonstrate that the evolution of the jump — once completed — is continuous\, coherent\, and deterministic. Based on these insights and aided by real-time monitoring and feedback\, we then pinpoint and reverse one such quantum jump “mid-flight”\, thus deterministically preventing its completion. Our findings\, which agree with theoretical predictions essentially without adjustable parameters\, lend support to the modern formulation of quantum trajectory theory\; most importantly\, they may provide new ground for the exploration of real-time intervention techniques in the control of quantum systems\, such as the early detection of error syndromes.\n\n1.

Minev et al.\, Nature 570\, 200–204 (2019)\n\nShort Bio:\n\nMichel Devoret graduated from Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications in Paris in 1975 and started graduate work in molecular quantum physics at the University of Orsay. He then joined Professor Anatole Abragam's laboratory in CEA-Saclay to work on NMR in solid hydrogen\, and received his PhD from Paris University in 1982. He spent two post-doctoral years working on macroscopic quantum tunneling with John Clarke's laboratory at the University of California\, Berkeley. He pursued this research on quantum mechanical electronics upon his return to Saclay\, starting his own research group with Daniel Esteve and Cristian Urbina. The main achievements of the \"quantronics group\" were in this period the measurement of the traversal time of tunneling\, the invention of the single electron pump (now the basis of a new standard of capacitance)\, the first measurement of the effect of atomic valence on the conductance of a single atom\, and the first observation of the Ramsey fringes of a superconducting artificial atom (quantronium). He became director of research at the Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA) at Saclay. In 2007\, Michel has been appointed to the College de France\, where he taught until 2012. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2003) and a member of the French Academy of Sciences (2008). Michel has received the Ampere Prize of the French Academy of Science (together with Daniel Esteve\, 1991)\, the Descartes-Huygens Prize of the Royal Academy of Science of the Netherlands (1996) and the Europhysics-Agilent Prize of the European Physical Society (together with Daniel Esteve\, Hans Mooij and Yasunobu Nakamura\, 2004). He is also a recipient of the John Stewart Bell Prize\, which he received jointly with Rob Schoelkopf in 2013. In 2014\, he has been awarded\, together with John Martinis and Rob Schoelkopf\, the Fritz London Memorial Prize. He received the Olli Lounaasma Prize in 2016. \n\nCurrently the F. W. Beinecke Professor of Applied Physics at Yale University -- which he joined in 2002 -- he focuses his research on experimental solid state physics with emphasis on quantum mechanical electronics (a.k.a. \"quantronics\") for quantum information processing. In this new type of electronics\, electrical collective degrees of freedom like currents and voltages behave quantum mechanically. Such mesoscopic phenomena are particularly important in quantum circuits based on Josephson junctions\, which is his main research goal. He currently focuses on the new phenomena of fault-tolerant quantum operations and remote entanglement.\n\n\n UID:79260-20243268@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79260 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201117T095608 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gigliola Staffilani (MIT) to give MCAIM Colloquium DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In recent years great progress has been made in the study of dispersive and wave equations. Over the years the toolbox used in order to attack highly nontrivial problems related to these equations has developed to include a variety of techniques from Fourier and harmonic analysis\, analytic number theory\, math physics\, dynamical systems\, probability and symplectic geometry. In this talk I will introduce a variety of problems connected with dispersive and wave equations\, such as the derivation of a certain nonlinear Schrodinger equation from a quantum many-particles system\, periodic Strichartz estimates\, the concept of energy transfer\, the invariance of a Gibbs measure associated to an infinite dimension Hamiltonian system and non-squeezing theorems for such systems when they also enjoy a symplectic structure.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nCapital flows from equal to unequal countries. We document this empirical regularity in a large sample of advanced economies. The capital flows are largely driven by private savings. We propose a theory that can rationalize these findings: more unequal countries endogenously develop deeper financial markets. Households in unequal counties\, in turn\, borrow more\, driving the observed direction of capital flows.\n\n* To join the seminar\, please contact at econ.events@umich.edu UID:79060-20184344@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79060 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201113T095729 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:The genomic landscape of pathogens introduced during the European Colonization of Mesoamerica DESCRIPTION:The Department of Anthropology & the Evolution and Human Adaptation Program (EHAP) at the University of Michigan are proud to present our fall 2020 speaker series: Genetics\, Evolution and Human Behavior UID:77108-19798475@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/77108 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Talk LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201203T123014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201118T164500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Work@Liberty Wednesday: Imposter Syndrome DESCRIPTION:Feeling overwhelmed\, stressed and maybe even some feelings ofself-doubt in this new virtual environment? \n\nNow more than ever\, Imposter Syndrome is sneaking up on all of us.

She soon discovers that Frank is gay\, and living with his longtime partner Walid “Wally” Nadeem (Peter Macdissi) -- an arrangement that he has kept secret for years. After the sudden death of Frank's father -- Beth’s grandfather -- Frank is forced to reluctantly return home for the funeral with Beth in tow\, and to finally face a long-buried trauma that he has spent his entire adult life running away from.\nWriter-director Alan Ball’s heartfelt and hilarious road movie travels from the bohemian scene of post-Stonewall New York City to rural South Carolina\, following Frank’s painful journey from hitting rock bottom to acceptance and forgiveness and\, finally\, reintegration into his family and into life itself. Bettany reveals Frank’s fragile core by peeling away the layers of Frank’s sophisticated but guarded persona. Sophia Lillis plays Beth as a naive but observant young woman whose eyes are opened to a world she could never have imagined. Peter Macdissi also has a standout performance as Wally\, a man whose capacity for compassion runs deeper than he even knows. Ball (known for his ensemble TV work on Six Feet Under and True Blood) also elicits strong turns from his superb supporting cast\, including Stephen Root\, Margo Martindale\, Steve Zahn\, Judy Greer and Lois Smith.

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.

COVID-19 has brought to light the fragility of global supply chains and challenges health systems have faced to address the new health needs arising from COVID-19 while continuing to address traditional health care needs. Clearly\, resiliency of supply chains and health systems is essential. Exploring the elements of resilient health supply chains will be the focus of GHSCS 2020. Resiliency can be achieved through supply chain design\, appropriate use of technology\, leveraging partnerships and establishing proper governance systems but all these depend on a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the workforce who will be called upon to execute on the resilience strategy and fill in the inevitable gaps. \n\nGHSCS 2020 will explore these issues through a combination of keynotes & plenary speakers\, panel discussions\, and contributed talks. Like in the past\, the conference has assembled a collection of experts in and from the field – academics\, country planners\, NGOs\, logistics practitioners\, industry and donor representatives to explore these topics. The committee is particularly interested in capturing the voices from the field to learn and share experiences related to managing supply chains for and during COVID-19.\n\n43 countries represented by registered attendees UID:79395-20296429@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79395 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Public Health LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201028T111727 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201119T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201119T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:In-Between the World and Dreams DESCRIPTION:In this multi-venue project led by the Institute for the Humanities\, in collaboration with the Charles H. 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.

To avoid them in flight\nenvelope\, we can conduct a multidisciplinary design optimization\n(MDO) to maximize the flutter speed by changing the wing aerodynamic shape.\n\nOne challenge is that we need to simulate flutter or LCO efficiently\nusing high fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in the\ntransonic regime. We propose a coupled Newton-Krylov method to\nsolve the time-spectral aeroelastic equations. We observe that the\nproposed method is more efficient than the time-accurate method.\n\nAnother challenge is that we need to compute the flutter speed derivative with respect to a large number of design variables. We propose the use of coupled adjoint to address that. Using this adjoint solver\, we conduct an aerodynamic shape optimization of a wing and the flutter speed increases by 118%.\n\nFinally\, for mode based aerostructural optimization problems\, we identify a computational bottleneck related with the structural mode and natural frequency derivative computation. We propose two formulae based on reverse algorithmic differentiation to reduce the cost from number of design variables computations to a single computation.\n\nDefense Committee Members:\nProf. Joaquim R.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nCoordinated Delivery to Shopping Malls with Limited Docking Capacity\n\nAbstract:\nShopping malls are densely located in densely populated cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong. Tenants in these shopping malls generate a large number of freight orders to their contracted logistics service providers\, who then independently plan their own delivery schedules. These uncoordinated deliveries and the limited docking capacity often jointly cause congestion at the shopping malls. We study a coordination strategy in which a delivery coordination platform centrally schedules vehicle routes for multiple logistics service providers\, and simultaneously reserves the dock time slot for each order delivery. Vehicle routing and dock scheduling decisions are made jointly against the backdrop of travel time and service time uncertainty. We model this problem as a two-stage stochastic mixed integer program\, develop an Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search algorithm that approximates the second stage recourse function using various sample sizes\, and examine the associated in-sample and out-of-sample stability. Our numerical study on a testbed of instances based on real data in Singapore demonstrates the value of coordination and the value of stochastic solutions.\n\nBio:\nDr. Lei Zhao is an associate professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Tsinghua University. His research focuses on computational stochastic optimization methodologies (stochastic programming\, approximate dynamic programming\, simulation optimization) and their applications in logistics and transportation management (esp. urban delivery in megacities)\, supply chain risk management\, and medical decision making. Dr. Zhao’s research has been funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and Ministry of Science and Technology of China (MoST) as well as industry collaborators such as Sinoair\, Sinopec\, China Tobacco\, COSCO Shipping Technology/COSCONET\, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries\, General Mills\, IBM\, etc. He has publications in Annals of Operations Research\, Computers & Operations Research\, European Journal of Operational Research\, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management\, OR Spectrum\, Transportation Research Part B\, C\, & E\, and Transportation Science\, etc. UID:75964-19629764@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/75964 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:899 Seminar Series,Graduate,Industrial And Operations Engineering,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200302T121706 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201119T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201119T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\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!

Russian Islam: Societal and Political Transformations of a Muslim Culture DESCRIPTION:Free event\; please register at http://myumi.ch/zx790\n\nRussian Islam is one of the least known Muslim cultures. As in the rest of Europe\, the share of Muslims in Russia’s population is growing. Of the country’s over 146 million inhabitants (including two million in annexed Crimea)\, it counts about 15 million people who are nominally Muslims\, in the sense that they belong to an ethnic group whose cultural background refers mostly to Islam. To these nominally Muslim citizens should be added about 5 million labor migrants from the formerly Soviet and culturally Muslim countries (Uzbekistan\, Tajikistan\, Kyrgyzstan\, and Azerbaijan). Islam is therefore going to become a growing identity marker for many Russian citizens. Russia already has the largest Muslim minority in Europe\, and Moscow\, with at least 2 million Muslim inhabitants\, now hosts the largest Muslim population of any European city. Deep socio-economic and demographic transformations\, the rise of Islamophobic attitudes among Russian public opinion\, and the development of Salafi ideologies among some segments on the younger Muslim generations make Russian Islam a key\, yet understudied\, part of the Ummah.

Multiple dynamic models of ecological communities have been developed\, but they are typically tested by examining static patterns such as Species Abundance Distributions. Much less is known about the ability of these theories to explain the actual dynamics that are observed in ecological communities.\n \nI focused on the two most minimalistic models of community dynamics\, the Neutral Theory of Biodiversity (NTB) and Dynamic Equilibrium theory (DE). For both theories\, I asked: 1) can the model explain observed patterns of community dynamics? 2) if not\, what processes need to be added to explain community dynamics?\n\nI have found that the magnitude of changes in abundances and species composition in the Barro Colorado Island forest community is considerably larger than expected under NTB. However\, incorporating environmental fluctuations into the theory allows explaining patterns of richness\, commonness and rarity\, and dynamics in that forest. In my work on DE\, I have used a novel methodology to show that both the assumptions and the predictions of the theory are violated in thousands of communities worldwide. I have found that there are larger temporal changes in species richness than expected\, which are associated with a positive covariance between species\, representing the shared response to environmental changes.\n\nOverall\, while most previous work in community ecology has emphasized the role of competition in shaping ecological communities\, my results demonstrate the crucial role of environmental changes as a driver of community assembly.

But they were confronted instead with another brutal reality\, as some one hundred thousand Jews were murdered in a wave of violence and pogroms\, followed twenty years later by the Holocaust and the murder of millions more. Yet\, these ideas of interethnic existence were revived decades later by immigrants from that region\, who sought to build new multicultural societies on American shores. This talk asks what these violent origins of multiculturalism can offer us today.\n\nHi there\,\n\nYou are invited to a Zoom webinar.\nWhen: Nov 19\, 2020 04:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)\nTopic: Professor Jeffrey Veidlinger\, the Joseph Brodsky Collegiate Professorship in History and Judaic Studies\, Inaugural Lecture\, November 19\, 2020\n\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/98611052090\nOr iPhone one-tap : \n US: +13126266799\,\,98611052090# or +16468769923\,\,98611052090# \nOr Telephone:\n Dial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\n US: +1 312 626 6799 or +1 646 876 9923 or +1 301 715 8592 or +1 346 248 7799 or +1 669 900 6833 or +1 253 215 8782 \n Canada: +1 647 558 0588 or +1 778 907 2071 or +1 204 272 7920 or +1 438 809 7799 or +1 587 328 1099 or +1 647 374 4685 \nWebinar ID: 986 1105 2090\n International numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/aRh3APQHL UID:75456-19495326@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/75456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:History LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201119T181509 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201119T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201119T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Pushing the boundaries of H/D exchange-mass spectrometry to analyze glycans DESCRIPTION:Analytical\nElyssia Gallagher (Baylor University) UID:78457-20046389@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78457 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201204T123013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201119T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201119T165000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Virtual MMI Group Practice Session DESCRIPTION:Practice a few MMI questions with fellow Wolverines in a safe environment during this UCC peer-facilitated exercise.

The site dates to 1841 with the purchase of an 80-acre parcel by Timothy Warner. Members of the family were involved in a variety of capacities within the community such as assisting in naming and organizing the township\, holding government positions\, operating a gristmill\, and serving in school and church activities. The farm expanded to nearly 500 acres by the 1870s and parts remain in the family to this day. \n\nSixth generation descendant Tim Bennett will discuss the results of thirteen seasons of archaeological excavation along with supporting genealogical and historical research. The nearly 180-year-old sesquicentennial farm is a Michigan State Historic Site and the extant 1855 Greek Revival home is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society.\nTo learn more about the MAS\, please visit http://www.miarch.org/\n\nZoom link:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/96831330054\n\nCall-in number if link not working\n+1-301-715-8592 w/ passcode 96831330054# UID:79496-20343465@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/79496 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Archaeology,History,Lecture LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201118T142020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201119T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201119T223000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:FREE Prime Video Screening of \"Sound of Metal\" DESCRIPTION:We are excited to partner with Amazon Studios to offer complimentary passes to our members for a virtual screening of Sound of Metal!

When a specialist tells him his condition will rapidly worsen\, he thinks his music career — and with it his life — is over. His bandmate and girlfriend Lou (Olivia Cooke) checks the recovering heroin addict into a secluded sober house for the deaf in hopes it will prevent a relapse and help him learn to adapt to his new situation. But after being welcomed into a community that accepts him just as he is\, Ruben has to choose between his equilibrium and the drive to reclaim the life he once knew. Utilizing startling\, innovative sound design techniques\, director Darius Marder takes audiences inside Ruben’s experience to vividly recreate his journey into a rarely examined world.

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.

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.

However\, the chemistry of small molecules targeting RNA remains a challenge. The academic literature has been littered since the mid-1990s with reports of small molecules binding to RNA that\, in most cases\, did not have the pharmaceutical properties of successful drug candidates and did not bind to RNA potently nor specifically. Screening protein-directed chemical libraries allows the discovery of drug-like molecules that bind to RNA\, but success rates are low\, typically 1/10\,000\, and affinity typically in the low to mid-uM range. We have discovered RNA-binding small molecules that obey Lipinski and RO5 rules and bind to RNA potently (low to mid nM) and specifically (discriminate single nucleotide changes). These molecules target RNAs considered 'undruggable' with low nM affinity. Their size (<400 Da)\, absence of charge\, and in vitro pharmacological properties (ADME and in vitro pharmacology) are those of favorable drug candidates. We will illustrate two examples of the application of this chemistry by reporting 10 nM ligands for HIV TAR and 100 nM ligands for pre-miR-21 with specific biochemical and cellular activity against this potent oncogene.

It is the culmination of our lifetime of experiences\, along with the experiences and lessons handed down from those who raised us. Other ways to say it is our sixth sense or our gut intuition\; knowledge that is inside us and that we access on a regular basis but haven’t yet\, or maybe don’t yet know how to\, put into words. It is the thing that entrepreneurs\, leaders\, creatives\, and everyday people put to use to know what they should do next\, because they can imagine it\, and they know it is right because it feels right. It’s hard to quantify\, but your own personal visionary knowledge can often be accessed by getting our left brain — what I like to think of as our resume brain — out of the way\, just for a while\, so that we can let loose our own unique creative knowing that is tacit knowledge. As we begin to recognize and trust our own tacit knowledge\, we can begin to learn how to intentionally access it in order to help us make decisions that allow us to successfully navigate a sometimes uncertain future. Come along with me for a series of Vision Muscle workshops focused on aspects of work and life where easy access to our vision muscle might be particularly helpful. All of the workshops will be using Vision Muscle strategies\, with unique subjects for you to explore based on your own experience\, vision and expertise. This self-directed experience will allow you to access your own unique knowledge and leave you with skills that will allow you to call up your Vision Muscle on a regular basis.\n\nUsing visual images and reflective writing\, participants will learn how to access their tacit knowledge\, or Visioning Muscles\, to gain insight into tools they already have for living with a resilience that supports a more joyful and celebratory life\, no matter their current circumstances. Join facilitator\, entrepreneur and visioning geek Patricia Berry for a hands-on\, interactive experience that brings out your natural visioning abilities. The Zoom Doors to this interactive and reflective workshop will close promptly at noon\, so please arrive a few minutes early to ensure your participation!

What does it mean to pursue a multi-vocal interpretation of the past? What are the economic consequences of archaeological fieldwork for descendent communities? These questions\, among others\, have come to characterize a set of practices in archaeology broadly defined as \"community archaeology\". For academic archaeologists\, understanding our role as producers of knowledge for\, and alongside\, a diversity of communities has become central to pursuing ethical research and reckoning with archaeology's colonial and imperialist origins. This roundtable will put four archaeologists in dialogue to discuss their current research projects and the various ways they consider and incorporate community engagement. It will explore best practices related to community involvement in archaeology and examine how community-based practices have changed\, and continue to change\, the fundamental nature of archaeological methodologies\, pedagogy\, and publication. The conversation will span the globe\, from Detroit to Northern Sudan\, addressing the problems and prospects of community archaeology in a variety of different political\, social\, and cultural contexts. \n\nZoom Link https://umich.zoom.us/j/96336389639 UID:78710-20107417@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78710 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Middle East Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201205T063013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201120T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201120T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Yale School of the Environment Master's Program Information Session for the University of Michigan DESCRIPTION:The Yale School of the Environment aspires to lead the world toward a sustainable future with cutting-edge research\, teaching\, and public engagement on society’s evolving and urgent environmental challenges.

The Covid-19 Crisis: Effects on Criminal Violence and Public Security in Latin America DESCRIPTION:Free event\; please register at http://myumi.ch/ZQbrP\n\nLatin America is the region with the highest incidence of homicides per-capita in the globe. Whereas the region accounts for only 13 percent of the world's population\, it reports around 40 percent of total homicides. In many areas\, criminal groups contend the state for dominance as they cash in billions of dollars from the drug trade. The COVID health crisis has disrupted the drug market and the balance of power within criminal organizations. At the same time\, countries across Latin America are struggling with weakening economies\, massive unemployment\, abusive police behavior\, and the shadow of militarization and populism. \n\nThis panel brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to analyze the different channels in which the pandemic might accentuate criminal violence and other public security pre-existing challenges in the region. Examples will be drawn from Mexico\, Brazil\, Colombia\, and Venezuela.\n\nPresenter Biographies:\n \n Edgar Franco-Vivanco is a MIDAS and NCID postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan. Edgar’s research agenda explores how colonial era institutions and contemporary criminal violence shape economic under-performance\, particularly within Latin America. His dissertation-related book project studies the role Indigenous groups have played in the state-building process of the region since colonial times. Using extensive archival data of colonial Mexican courts\, combined with automated text analysis\, he examines the complex interactions between Indigenous communities and the colonial state. Edgar’s research on contemporary challenges to development focuses on criminal violence and policing. He is co-authoring a book that draws on extensive fieldwork in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, to study the differentiated effects of state interventions against organized criminal groups.\n \n Beatriz Magaloni is Professor in the Department of Political Science and a Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) at Stanford University. She is also director of the Poverty\, Violence and Governance Lab. Most of her current work focuses on state repression\, police\, human rights\, and violence. In 2010 she founded the Poverty\, Violence and Governance Lab (POVGOV) within FSI's Center on Democracy\, Development and the Rule of Law. Her work has appeared in the *American Political Science Review*\, *American Journal of Political Science*\, *World Development\, Comparative Political Studies*\, *Annual Review of Political Science*\, *Latin American Research Review*\, *Journal of Theoretical Politics* and other journals. Her first book\, *Voting for Autocracy: Hegemonic Party Survival and its Demise in Mexico* (Cambridge University Press\, 2006)\, won the Best Book Award from the Comparative Democratization Section of the American Political Science Association and the 2007 Leon Epstein Award for the Best Book published in the previous two years in the area of political parties and organizations. Her second book\, *The Political Logic of Poverty Relief* (co-authored with Alberto Diaz Cayeros and Federico Estévez)\, also published by Cambridge University Press\, studies the politics of poverty relief.\n \n Eduardo Moncada is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Barnard College\, Columbia University. His research agenda focuses on the political economy of crime and violence as well as comparative urban politics in Latin America. Moncada is the author of *Cities\, Business and the Politics of Urban Violence in Latin America* (Stanford University Press\, 2016) and co-editor of *Inside Countries: Subnational Research in Comparative Politics* (Cambridge University Press\, 2019). In his forthcoming book\, *Resisting Extortion: Victims\, Criminals and Police in Latin America* (Cambridge University Press)\, he analyzes the different ways in which victims mobilize to negotiate\, end or prevent extortion at the hands of armed criminal groups. He has published articles in *Perspectives on Politics*\, *Latin American Research Review*\, *Comparative Politics*\, *Studies in Comparative International Development*\, and *Global Crime*\, among others. Moncada's research has received support from the Fulbright-Hays program\, the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation\, the Smith Richardson Foundation\, and the Ford Foundation / National Academy of Arts and Sciences.\n \n Rebecca Hanson is Assistant Professor of Crime\, Law & Governance at the University of Florida\, with a joint appointment in the Department of Sociology and Criminology & Law and the Center for Latin American Studies.

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.

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. We are unable to welcome the general public to this space at this time.

We solve for P’s optimal strategy and find a new\, but intuitive\, set of bargaining dynamics. When A’s outside option increases\, A is tempted to cease bargaining\, leading P to increase A’s continuation by gradually promising A a larger share of the surplus (decreasing demands) and giving A more time to explore his outside option before being forced to make a decision (decreasing pressure). We explore comparative statics and show that although P ’s value of bargaining is decreasing in A’s outside option\, it increases when the expected value of A’s outside option tomorrow rises. We show P’s optimal strategy can be implemented without commitment.

The rain-snow transition elevation\, or the elevation where snow melts into rain\, is a key variable when studying mountain meteorology\, hydrology\, and storm impacts. Sudden\, extreme vertical changes in rain-snow elevations\, or atmospheric snow levels\, can influence impacts\, but have not been previously catalogued.\n\nIn this study\, we design a detection algorithm for extreme snow level changes which are first defined as one-hour vertical changes of a magnitude equal to or greater than 400 meters. We consider snow levels obtained from ten vertically-pointing ground radars across California. The past six cool seasons are included. In addition to defining and detecting extreme changes in rain-snow level\, extremes are described in terms of seasonality and variations by water year and radar. We also investigate relationships between extreme rain-snow elevation changes and atmospheric rivers - low-tropospheric corridors of enhanced moisture which form over near-tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean and can travel to reach land\, contributing up to half of California’s annual water supply.

G. PELTIER\n\nAs a Creole emerges and evolves\, its creators alter and shift the functions of the words and structures contributed by its various source languages\, yielding an abundance of multifunctional items whose meanings are challenging to determine. In the field of pragmatics\, whole research areas are dedicated to the complexities of multifunctional items\, particularly elements like deictics and pragmatic markers that help speakers navigate discourse. The discourse-level contributions of multifunctional items are rarely the focus of work on Creoles and other contact varieties\, and pragmatic research tends to focus on better-documented languages of prestige. As a result\, there is much room for fruitful work at the intersections between creolistics and pragmatics\, and such scholarship both expands our knowledge of multifunctional items cross-linguistically and deepens our understanding of language contact by addressing it at the pragmatic level. The goal of my research is to explore these intersections. Using corpus-based and experimental methods\, I examine the pragmatics of multifunctional elements such as locative deictics and pragmatic markers in Kwéyòl Donmnik (an understudied Creole language declining in use) and its superstrates\, French and English. In this talk\, I will describe the fruits of my research journey thus far as well as the dissertation work I am now conducting. \n\nA sociophonetic study of tones on Jeju Island\nby Moira Saltzman\n\nIn this talk I will discuss the results of a sociophonetic study on the emergence of a tonal distinction in Jejueo\, an endangered Koreanic language indigenous to Jeju Island\, South Korea. The three-way stop contrast in Korean\, between fortis\, lenis and aspirated voiceless stops is well documented. In recent years the length of the VOT which comprised the phonetic distinction in the three-way contrast has been converging for lenis and aspirated stops across many varieties of Korean. At the same time\, vowels following the converging lenis and aspirated stops have developed low and high pitch\, respectively. The shifting of cues from VOT to tone for Korean stop consonants can be described as tonogenesis\, first discovered in Seoul Korean. With the degree of influence that the highly prestigious Seoul variety of Korean has on media and education\, tonogenesis has spread outward from the Seoul/ Gyeonggi province area. \nIn this talk I will present updated results of an apparent-time sociophonetic study of the development of a tonal distinction in Jejueo. The study shows that tonogenesis has spread outward from mainland Korea and has entered Jejueo for all speakers\, but to varying degrees\, based on extralinguistic factors of age\, language dominance in Korean and Jejueo\, and language attitudes toward Jejueo. More broadly\, this study adds to the discussion of language loss and sound change\, as language dominance and attitudes are shown to contribute to phonological attrition of heritage language in a disglossic environment.

How does racialization specifically affect Afro-Indigenous people? How do the values of settler colonialism perpetuate violence against both Black and Indigenous people\, and how can we adopt the values of indigeneity in order to move towards a post-settler world? In this panel discussion\, Dr. Kyle T. Mays and Amber Starks will discuss these questions and more.\n\nDr. Kyle T Mays (Black/Saginaw Anishinaabe) is a transdisciplinary scholar and public intellectual of Indigenous studies\, Afro-Indigenous studies\, urban history\, and Indigenous popular culture. He is an Assistant Professor in Africa American Studies at UCLA. He earned his Ph.D. in the Department of History at the University of Illinois\, Urbana Champaign in 2015. At present\, he is working on three books. The first is titled\, Hip Hop Beats\, Indigenous Rhymes: Modernity and Hip Hop in Indigenous North America (Forthcoming\, June 2018\, SUNY Press). This book explores how Indigenous Hip Hop artists challenge settler colonialism and construct modern\, Indigenous identities through Hip Hop culture. The second book is titled\, The Indigenous Motor City: Indigenous People and the Making of Modern Detroit (under contract with the University of Washington Press). This book examines how Indigenous people and representations of them were central to the development of Detroit\, from the late 19th century the present. He is also co-editing an anthology titled\, Decolonizing Hip Hop: Blackness and Indigeneity in Hip Hop Culture (under contract with Sense Publishers: Youth\, Media\, and Culture Series).\n\nAmber Starks (aka Melanin Mvskoke) is an Afro Indigenous (African-American and Native American) activist\, aspiring cultural critic/commentator\, a student of decolonial theory\, and budding abolitionist. She is an enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and is also of Shawnee\, Yuchi\, Quapaw\, and Cherokee descent. Her passion is the intersection of Black and Native American identity. She seeks to normalize\, affirm\, and uplift the multidimensional identity in both the Black and Native communities through discourse and advocacy around anti-Blackness\, abolishing blood quantum\, Black liberation\, and Indigenous sovereignty. Her activism encourages Black and Indigenous peoples to prioritize one another and divest from compartmentalizing struggles. She ultimately believes the partnerships between Black and Indigenous peoples (and all POC) will aid in the dismantling of anti-blackness\, white supremacy\, and settler colonialism\, globally. \n\nRegister Here: https://myumi.ch/K4NMW UID:78759-20119194@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/78759 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:african and afroamerican studies,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,MESA,native american,Native American Heritage Month LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20201102T152455 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20201120T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20201120T190000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Trans*/Non-Binary CenterSpace Drop-In DESCRIPTION:Register at bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events\n\nThe Trans/NonBinary/Agender/Genderqueer CenterSpace provides a monthly drop-in space for different communities within queer life at the University of Michigan.

This translates into working with moving images to unsettle ways of ordering space and time through timelines\, life-lines\, latitudes\, and longitudes. Raqs practices across several media\, including installation\, sculpture\, video\, performance\, text\, and lexica. In the video 31 Days (2020)\, Raqs takes the predicament of quarantine and seclusion caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to offer a meditation on a restless world in a quiet time. Raqs takes traces of materials in order to breach the boundaries and limits of historical time by intensifying the experience of a sensory encounter with the immeasurability of life forms. In the video The Blood of Stars (2018)\, blood\, meteorites older than the earth\, and iron mines in the arctic circle combine to offer a way of thinking concretely and materially about the intimacy of life\, death\, mining\, war\, and the pulse of the cosmos.\n\nFrom 2000–2013\, Raqs spent time at Sarai\, which they co-founded at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies in North Delhi\, and where they were members of the Editorial Collegiate of the Sarai Reader Series. Raqs’ work has been shown in museums and exhibitions across the world\, including Documenta 11\, Venice\, Istanbul\, Sydney\, Shanghai\, and Sao Paulo Biennales\, and in solo exhibitions at the National Gallery of Modern Art\, New Delhi\; Tate Modern\, London\; Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC)\, México City\; Fundación PROA\, Buenos Aires\; Whitworth Art Gallery\, Manchester\; K21 Ständehaus\, Düsseldorf\; and Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art\, Doha\, Qatar\, among others. Curatorial projects by Raqs include The Rest of Now\, Manifesta 8\, Murcia\, Spain\, 2011\; Sarai Reader 09\, Devi Art Foundation\, Gurugram\, India\, 2012\; Insert2014\, IGNCA\, Delhi\, 2014\; Why Not Ask Again\, Shanghai Biennale\, 2016\; Five Million Incidents\, Goethe-Institut\, Delhi & Kolkata\, 2019–2021\; and Afterglow\, Yokohama Triennale\, 2020.\n\nThis Penny Stamps Speaker Series event includes a presentation by Raqs Media Collective followed by a Q&A with Srimoyee Mitra\, director of the Stamps Gallery at Stamps School of Art and Design.\n\nStamps Gallery Online ExhibitionRaqs Media Collective is also featured in The Pandemic Circle by Raqs Media Collective\, an online Stamps Gallery exhibition and screening of new videos.

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.

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!
