With his deeply humanistic attitude\, his intellect\, sense of humour and incorruptible integrity\, he produced works that remain timeless and touching to this day.

This is not only because we lack a robust body of scholarship trained on this lens to assign on syllabi\, but also because we have lacked academic gatherings such as RaceB4Race\, where medievalists working on Europe have begun to think about the possibilities of race as an analytical category in relation to medieval texts. This presentation is therefore a call to getting started\, to think creatively about how we can incorporate existing scholarship on social marginality\, precarity\, and otherness (on outcastes and pollution\, on Hansen’s disease\, on slavery and indentured servitude\, on illness\, on animals) to help students make broader connections.\n \n Vyjayanthi Selinger is an Associate Professor of Asian Studies at Bowdoin College. Her research examines literary representations of conflict in medieval Japan\, war memory\, legal and ritual constraints of war\, Buddhist mythmaking\, and women in war.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

These investments are acutely needed to ensure that all children—particularly children from families with low incomes—have access to high-quality ECE\; working and middle class families have access to affordable care\; and early educators are supported and adequately compensated.\n\nAs Congress and the Administration consider their next major investments in ECE\, however\, they need a vision for a new and better system. How do we ensure that our many early childhood programs—including child care subsidies\, Head Start\, state preschool\, and special education programs—can be a system of coherent support from birth through early elementary? Experts will address this question in an upcoming webinar\, “From Rescue to Rebuild: Developing a National ECE System That Works.” The webinar will focus on long-term federal policy solutions to build a comprehensive\, equitable\, and integrated early learning system\, drawing from the work of the Learning Policy Institute and New America\, as well as the authors of Cradle to Kindergarten: A New Plan to Combat Inequality. It will also address concrete actions that policymakers can take in the near term with federal stimulus funds.\n\nPlease register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_pKpDoK9bSZiiSidYPJdFSw \n\nSpeakers:\n\nLaura Bornfreund\, Director\, Early and Elementary Education\, New America\n\nAjay Chaudry\, Professor\, New York University and former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Human Services Policy at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services\n\nLinda Darling-Hammond\, President and CEO\, Learning Policy Institute \n\nU.S. Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT)\n\nHanna Melnick\, Senior Policy Advisor\, Learning Policy Institute\n\nChristina Weiland\, Associate Professor of Education\, University of Michigan\n\nAdditional speakers to be added.\n\nRelated Resources\nBuilding a National Early Childhood Education System that Works (brief)\n\nCradle to Kindergarten: A New Plan to Combat Inequality\, 2nd Edition (book)\n\nSupporting Early Learning in America: Policies for a New Decade (report)\nChild Care in Crisis: Can Biden’s Plan Save It?

Wang DESCRIPTION:Mechanoreciprocity in cell migration is an emerging concept describing the dynamic\, bi-directional interactions between migrating cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) they negotiate. Migrating cells not only sense and adapt to biochemical and biophysical ECM cues\, but also\, exert forces\, deposit matrix\, and secrete chemokines\, matrix metalloproteinases\, and matrix crosslinking enzymes that dynamically alter the same ECM properties known to regulate cell migration. Due to limitations in standard cell migration assays\, how matrix properties influence cell migration and in turn\, how cells influence matrix properties\, has previously been studied as separate processes. However\, observations from development\, wound healing\, and a variety of disease processes highlight the interdependency and iterative relationship between cell migration and ECM. An improved understanding of the underlying mechanisms that orchestrate the coevolution of migrating cells and ECM will aid in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine efforts to guide repair fibroblasts to regenerate wound beds\, direct collective endothelial cell migration to vascularize ischemic or engineered tissue grafts and confine otherwise metastatic cancer cells to the primary tumor. Thus\, the focus of this dissertation is to design biomimetic microsystems that afford investigation of cell migration mechanoreciprocity with a focus on fibroblasts\, endothelial cells\, and cancer cells.\n\n \n\nFirst\, this thesis investigated how single mesenchymal cells (fibroblasts and cancer cells) migrate in fibrous stromal tissue settings\, such as in trans-stromal cancer cell migration during metastasis. To model fibrous stromal tissue\, 3D fiber networks were electrospun over microfabricated wells to define ECM mechanics. Independently tuning alignment and stiffness of these matrices resulted in two phenotypically distinct cell migration modes. In contrast to stiff matrices where cells migrated continuously in a traditional mesenchymal fashion\, cells in deformable matrices stretched matrix fibers to store elastic energy\; subsequent adhesion failure triggered sudden matrix recoil and rapid cell translocation (termed slingshot migration). Across a variety of cell types\, traction force measurements revealed a relationship between cell contractility and the matrix stiffness where slingshot migration mode occurred optimally.\n\n \n\nNext\, this thesis describes how microenvironmental cues influence collective endothelial cell migration during sprouting angiogenesis towards the design of pro-angiogenic biomaterials. This work employed a multiplexed angiogenesis-on-a-chip platform to assess the chemokine-directed 3D invasion of endothelial cells from a lumenized parent vessel into user-defined ECM. By tuning soluble and physical cues of the ECM\, this work identified how 1) functional angiogenesis requires microenvironmental cues that balance cell invasion speed and proliferation\; 2) dynamic interactions between sprout stalk cells and ECM regulates neovessel lumenization\; and 3) imbuing microporosity within synthetic hydrogels can enhance endothelial cell invasion and angiogenic sprout lumenization.\n\n \n\nLastly\, this thesis investigated how fibrous matrix cues activate quiescent vessel-lining endothelial cells into invasive tip cells in the context of fibrosis. Composite hydrogels (electrospun fiber segments suspended within 3D ECM) were integrated with the angiogenesis-on-a-chip platform. These studies establish that heightened matrix fiber density destabilizes cell-cell adherens junctions\, reduces endothelium barrier function\, and promotes the invasion of endothelial tip cells. Performing transcriptomic and secretomic analyses on fiber-induced tip endothelial cells revealed that fibrous ECM cues promote a fibrosis propagating phenotype.\n\n \n\nOverall\, the work presented in this dissertation integrates tunable biomaterials with microfabricated devices to investigate cell migration mechanoreciprocity of single mesenchymal cell migration\, the collective migration of endothelial cells during angiogenesis\, and endothelial-mesenchymal transition of quiescent endothelial cells into a fibrosis propagating cell phenotype.\n\n \n\nDate: Friday\, June 4\, 2021\n\nTime: 12:30 PM\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcsf-uhpj4vGtyM7x-td2VV39BzqmF_zoob (Zoom link requires prior registration)\n\nChair: Dr. Brendon Baker UID:84102-21620248@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84102 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Life Science,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210601T112542 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210604T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210604T140000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Crucial Conversations for Societal Change: Reflection\, Research & Resolve DESCRIPTION:U-M leadership\, faculty\, graduate and undergraduate students will gather on June 4 to explore and reflect on the progress that has been made and the many problems that still plague the world today related to racism\, violence\, and inequality\, since the original Conversation for Societal Change dialogue nearly one year ago. \n\nModerated by Katrina Wade-Golden\, deputy chief diversity officer\, panelists President Mark Schlissel\; Eddie Washington\, Jr.\, Executive Director of the Division of Public Safety and Security\; Earl Lewis\, University Professor of History\, Afroamerican and African Studies and Public Policy\, director of the Center for Social Solutions\, and co-chair of the Advancing Public Safety at the University of Michigan Task Force\; and Rebecca Cunningham\, Vice President for Research will also be joined by representatives from the U-M graduate and undergraduate communities. \n\nJoin this constructive and crucial conversation about race\, law enforcement\, protest and reform at 1pm on June 4 via Zoom or YouTube.

It sings in order to feel the life beyond the bars of its cage. To encourage itself and others. And this is how American composers and authors with African roots sing and write to this day: their subject matter is discrimination and injustice\, pride and dignity – but love and separation as well\, mourning and joy\, belief and hope.\n\nIn the second part of the Celebration of Black Music\, several generations of these artists have their say: from Florence Price and William Grant Still to Tyshawn Sorey and B. E. Boykin. The concert presents a many-voiced panorama of black music in its countless and fascinating facets.\n\n*Note: All Hamburg International Music Festival 2021 concerts are available to stream free of charge.
