Saldamando merges painting and collage\, often using origami paper\, glitter\, or gold leaf in her compositions\, many of which are painted on wood or found surfaces. Her modern portraits and innovative methods challenge social constructs pertaining to individual and collective identity within the broader context of the “American Portrait.” Saldamando’s visual biographies\, which use her friends\, family\, and fellow members of the Chicanx creative community in Los Angeles\, create new ways of seeing and being seen.\n\nOn November 2\, 6:30-8pm\, Shizu Saldamando talks to curator Amanda Krugliak about Shizu's artistic practice and her exhibition *When This is All Over / Cuando Esto Termine*.\n\nAbout the artist: Shizu Saldamando is an LA based mixed media artist with an emphasis on portraiture. She received her B.A. from UCLA’s School of Arts and Architecture and her M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited both locally and internationally and experiments with a broad range of surfaces and materials. Saldamando’s practice employs tattooing\, video\, painting and drawing on canvas\, wood\, paper\, and cloth. The work functions as homage\, as well as documentation\, of friends and peers within artistic and musical subcultures around the Los Angeles metropolitan area. She is currently represented by Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles.\n\nShizu Saldamando is the 2021 Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities.

It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us\, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art\, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.\n\nCurrently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States\, and in Michigan\, there are roughly 33\,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments\, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons\; the impact of incarceration on women\; youth incarceration\; and the dangers of COVID-19.\n\nThe exhibition features artists\, poets\, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force\, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in\, together.\n\nFree Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges\, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs\, and Janie Paul\, Senior Curator and Cofounder\, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners\, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

The artists previously exhibited their work at PCAP's Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners at the University of Michigan. For some\, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration\, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.\n\nMartín Vargas\, artist and curator of this exhibition\, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work\, but also during select Art Lab studio hours\, which will feature several of the artists working in person.\n\nConnections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. The exhibition is curated by Martín Vargas\, Vanessa Mayesky\, Scott Tompkins\, Nico Slowik\, Kimiko Uyeda\, and Jenna VanFleteren.

By placing the question of gender and sexuality at the heart—and not merely as a subsection—of (ethno-)religious identities and spiritualties\, the speakers queer normative understandings of Jewishness/Judaism and Muslimness/Islam in order to broaden the horizon of Jewish and Muslim coexistence and\, perhaps more importantly\, co-resistance.\n\nKatrina Daly Thompson (she/they) is Professor of African Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where she is also the Director of the Program in African Languages\, and a core faculty member in Second Language Acquisition. She holds additional affiliations in Anthropology\, Gender & Women’s Studies\, Religious Studies\, Folklore\, and the Middle East Studies Program. Her research uses critical ethnography and critical discourse analysis to examine African and Muslim discourse\, with specific projects in Zimbabwe\, Tanzania\, North America\, and online. Her third monograph\, Misfits\, Rebels\, and Queers: An Ethnography of Muslims on the Margins\, is under contract with NYU Press.\n\nRobert Phillips is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Associate Director of the Jewish Studies Program at Ball State University. He lectures on ethnographic methods and the anthropology of religion and technology with much of his empirical research conducted in India and Singapore. Most recently\, Phillips has published Virtual Activism: Sexuality\, the Internet\, and a Social Movement in Singapore (University of Toronto Press\, 2020). Currently\, Phillips is looking at how queer and Jewish individuals are embracing alternative models in the healing of individual and collective trauma.\n\nDr. Edwige Crucifix is a scholar of Modern and Contemporary Francophone literature\, specializing in gender studies and postcolonial theory. Her current book project explores mechanisms of identity construction in colonial society in the works of French and North African women. Her research and teaching stems from an interdisciplinary interest in modes of cultural resistance\, explored in previous publications dedicated to modernist aesthetics\, nineteenth-century bourgeois taste\, and inter-war Jewish identity. \n\nDr. Shanon Shah conducts research on minority religions and alternative spiritualities at the Information Network Focus on Religious Movements (Inform)\, based at King's College London\, and is Tutor in Interfaith Relations at the University of London's Divinity programme. He is also the Director of Faith for the Climate\, a faith-inspired network of climate justice activists\, and an editor at Critical Muslim\, the flagship quarterly publication of the Muslim Institute (a London-based educational fellowship). \n\nAdi Saleem Bharat is an LSA Collegiate Fellow and\, from Fall 2022\, an assistant professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan. He is also an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Manchester's Center for Jewish Studies. His research examines the intersection of race\, religion\, gender\, and sexuality in contemporary France\, with a focus on Jews and Muslims. He is currently working on a manuscript tentatively titled Beyond Jewish-Muslim Relations\, which examines and challenges the construction of a polarized\, oppositional category of \"Jewish-Muslim relations\" in media and political discourse in France.

Thurnau Professor\, Women's and Gender Studies\; Political Science\, Sociology\, and Health Management & Policy (by courtesy)\n\nThe racial reckoning during 2020 sparked renewed energy to address pervasive structural racism and the resulting disparate inequities and injustices impacting minoritized communities and communities of color in the US. Institutions of higher education across the nation have expressed commitments to address racism in their organizations. Similarly\, many institutions across the country have sought to focus new efforts to end harassment based on sex\, sexuality\, and gender\, yet these efforts have often operated separately from the fight to address systemic racism. \n\nAt the College of Literature\, Science & the Arts (LSA) at the University of Michigan\, working groups have produced both an LSA Task Force on Anti-Racism and Racial Equality report and a Preventing Sexual Harassment report in recent months. Additionally\, the university commissioned reports on high-profile cases of sexual misconduct (Philbert and Anderson) and created campus initiatives in response to national conversations around anti-racism.\n\nThis expert panel will help us to understand how systems of racism and sexism support and maintain each other\, discuss recent efforts to grapple with these issues at Michigan\, frame them within a broader theoretical and political context and then provide suggestions on how to move from intention to action and how to enact structural change that is transformational and sustainable.\n\nCosponsored by: The Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, the Initiative on Gender Based Violence and Sexual Harassment at IRWG\, the Women’s & Gender Studies Department\, and the National Center for Institutional Diversity’s Anti-Racism Collaborative\n\nThis webinar will be recorded.

However\, selectable phenotypes are limiting\, restricting screening to outcomes with a low spatiotemporal resolution. Here\, we integrated live-cell imaging with pooled library-based screening. To enable intracellular multiplexing\, we developed a method\, called EPICode (Epitope-Phenotype Immunofluorescence barCode)\, that uses a combination of short epitopes to facilitate optical screening. By using the subcellular localization of the barcode as an additional channel\, our method exponentially increases multiplexing capacity. Thus\, after using live-cell microscopy to characterize a phenotype of interest\, subjected to sequential stimulatory/inhibitory manipulations\, the genotype of each cell in the population can be identified. To demonstrate applicability\, we developed a live-cell PKA kinase translocation reporter with improved sensitivity and specificity. The use of epitopes as fluorescent barcodes introduces a scalable strategy for high-throughput screening broadly applicable to protein engineering and drug discovery settings where image-based phenotyping is desired.\nDetails:\nDATE: Thursday\, December 9\, 2021\nTIME: 4:00-5:00 pm\nZOOM LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97723483179 UID:89887-21666282@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/89887 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,engineering,Life Science,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211224T123031 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211209T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211209T164500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:How to Ace the Acquisition Job Interview DESCRIPTION:When it comes to interviewing for a job in the acquisition career field\, there are things that will help you stand out as a candidate.

However\, due to the exponential scaling of many-body simulations\, one can only obtain approximate solutions to the electronic Schrodinger equation. Although\, in principle one can increase the sophistication of an approximation arbitrarily until a desired accuracy is reached\, more sophisticated calculations rapidly become intractable for even the largest supercomputers. Quantum computers provide a promising route to bypass these limitations in molecular simulation. However\, current and near term quantum devices suffer from environmental noise and gate errors\, thus limiting the calculations able to be achieved. In this talk\, I will discuss basic ideas concerning the simulation of molecules on quantum devices\, and describe two different algorithmic directions our collaborative team has recently devised for trying to extract the most computational work out of noisy devices.\n\n UID:86569-21634906@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/86569 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210817T155615 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211209T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211209T170000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:International Studies Virtual Information Session and Q&A DESCRIPTION:Please note: This information session will be held virtually ET through Zoom.

This often becomes more challenging depending on our environment and identities. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness\, one in four college students have a diagnosable mental illness\, with depression being the most prevalent. Furthermore\, the prevalence and severity of symptoms is dependent on education\, race\, gender\, sexual orientation\, and gender identity. A University of Michigan study showed that half of all graduate students are experiencing psychological distress\, with a higher prevalence of mental-health problems than the general highly educated population. Black men experience worse mental health outcomes than any other racial group of men and are also less likely to seek mental health services. Members of the LGBTQI are two to four times more likely to experience a mental health issue. As we all have many identities that contribute to how we perceive and navigate mental health\, this mental health mini-series serves to highlight research and foster constructive conversations around identifying signs of mental illness\, understanding how our identities impact our mental health\, and maintaining mental well-being.\nSpeaker: Lisa Kaler is an expert in undergraduate and graduate student mental health and well-being. She focuses on how institutions can promote positive mental health through systemic change. Kaler uses a critical lens to understand how mental health issues intersect with social justice.\nPanelists: Nneoma Edokobi\, Medical Student\, Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine\; Chiamaka U.

With the aim to heighten awareness of the gendered history of research on networks\, all ten authors thus placed women in the center of their analyses. The result paints a heterogeneous picture which preempts the determination of one simple network pattern or a uniform type of networks particular to “women.” Rather the diversity indicate that not gender alone but many other factors play into the individual’s form of participation in networks. In the presentation\, I take this specific result of the volume further by making a comparison of the involvement in networks by a husband and a wife: Rai Shizu and Rai Shunsui. I do with the help of the visualization tools of the Japan Biographical Database.\n \n \n Bettina Gramlich-Oka is Professor of Japanese History at the Faculty of Liberal Arts\, Sophia University. Some of her publications include Thinking Like a Man: Tadano Makuzu (Brill\, 2006) and the coedited volume Economic Thought in Early Modern Japan (Brill\, 2010). In the past years\, her research centers on the exploration of networks of the Rai family from Hiroshima during the Tokugawa period. The development of the online Japan Biographical Database (https://proxy.qualtrics.com/proxy/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjbdb.jp%2F&token=cC8PSwwI5mKuO7eTtsIPENF1WA0Jspur9zV%2B3UAd1Ig%3D) is part of this endeavor\, as well as the coedited volume with Anne Walthall\, Miyazaki Fumiko\, Sugano Noriko\, Women and Networks in Nineteenth Century Japan (University of Michigan Press\, 2020).

Shepard’s tragic death ultimately led to the creation of the Matthew Shepard Foundation and provided a catalyst for legislation that expanded the definition of a hate crime to include sexual orientation. In 2009\, Congress passed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Composer Craig Hella Johnson had a profoundly personal reaction to both the murder and its resonance. The Shepard family and Foundation engaged with Johnson to create the Grammy-nominated oratorio\, Considering Matthew Shepard\, which draws from fragments of Shepard’s personal diary. \nIn November 2021\, the U-M School of Music\, Theatre &\; Dance and UMMA created a live performance film of the U-M Chamber Choir performing the oratorio under the direction of award winning conductor Eugene Rogers\, acclaimed stage director Matt Kunkel\, and Emmy-award winning film producer Bob Berg\, with pianist Scott VanOrnum\, production designer Harrison Hoffert\, and narrated by Priscilla Lindsay. The live performance was presented as part of the UMMA exhibition Oh honey...A queer reading of the collection and the 50th anniversary of the U-M Spectrum Center. \nThis Penny Stamps Speaker Series event offers a public screening of the performance film\, followed by a conversation with Rogers and Johnson about the work.\n UID:88638-21656327@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/88638 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211210T001552 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211209T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211209T213000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Considering Matthew Shepard:  Live performance film followed by a conversation with Eugene Rogers and Craig Hella Johnson DESCRIPTION:Click here to register: https://stamps.umich.edu/stamps.\n \nCon­sid­er­ing Matthew Shep­ard is an evoca­tive and com­pas­sion­ate musi­cal response to the bru­tal mur­der of Matthew Shep­ard in 1998\, one of America’s most noto­ri­ous anti-gay hate crimes. Shepard’s tragic death ulti­mately led to the cre­ation of the Matthew Shep­ard Foun­da­tion and pro­vided a cat­a­lyst for leg­is­la­tion that expanded the def­i­n­i­tion of a hate crime to include sex­ual ori­en­ta­tion. In 2009\, Con­gress passed the Matthew Shep­ard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Pre­ven­tion Act. Com­poser Craig Hella John­son had a pro­foundly per­sonal reac­tion to both the mur­der and its res­o­nance.

Davidson DESCRIPTION:Nearly 90% of adults in the US will develop dental caries needing treatment with dental restorations within their lifetimes. An increasing number of restorations are done using composite rather than amalgams. Dental composites have some benefits\, but the longevity of these restorations is shorter (5 to 7 years) than amalgams (10+ years). The leading cause of dental restoration failure is development of secondary caries. Secondary caries is decay at or near the margins of dental restorations that occurs when bacteria or acid infiltrate the interface and cause demineralization. A reduction in infiltration would prevent the development of secondary caries. The focus of this dissertation is the development of a method for improving the integrity of the interface using peptide engineering. It was hypothesized that a mineral binding peptide identified via phage display for affinity to apatite could be modified to A) chemically incorporate with dental composites during polymerization and increase bond strength and B) act as an anchor for a mineralization promoting peptide to increase remineralization at the interface. \n \n\nFirst\, this thesis describes the characterization of VTKHLNQISQSY (VTK) peptide and phosphorylated variants (pVTK) for their affinity to dentin and enamel and the increase in adhesion strength at the nano-scale. pVTK showed strong affinity to dentin and enamel\, and both VTK and pVTK exhibited strong adhesion to dentin and enamel at the nanoscale under dry and wet conditions. Binding at the nanomolecular level translated to modest shear bond strength (SBS) increases at the interface when pVTK (7.4%) was modified with a cysteine that incorporated with the methacrylate-based bonding agent and composite during polymerization. Using a competitive risk model incorporating failure mode and SBS\, a small increase in bond strength (VTK: 3%\; pVTK: 10%) was observed. \n \n\nThe second modification to VTK was the addition of a remineralization domain using 8DSS\, a known remineralization peptide consisting of 8 repeats of Asp-Ser-Ser (DSS). The dual-functioning peptide (VTK-8DSS) was applied to in vitro cross sections of dentin and enamel and an in situ model of class V dental restorations. Mineral deposition and quality were assessed over 7 days in remineralization solution. VTK-8DSS increased the mineral quality (recovering 75% of young’s modulus and hardness compared to 50% of 8DSS control) determined using nanoindentation over the 7 day time course of the study. \n \n\nThese modifications were also analyzed under challenging conditions for their protective effect to the interface. VTK and pVTK doped composites were exposed to thermal cycling and had a 43% and 49% reduction in microleakage as measured by silver nitrate penetration using micro CT. Cross sections and dental restorations were used to assess the function of VTK-8DSS in artificial saliva containing proteins that competitively bind to dentin and enamel and an acidic cycling model where samples were exposed to acid every day in addition to remineralization solution. VTK-8DSS in both artificial saliva and acidic cycling models showed a slight increase in mineral deposition (95% and 95% recovery) compared to 8DSS (80% and 50% respectively) and a large increase mineral quality (70% vs 10% and 60% vs 30%).\n \n\nTaken together\, the data in this dissertation demonstrates the ability to engineer interfacial surfaces using peptides derived for their affinity to specific tissues. This system could be applied more broadly to improve the interactions or integration of any number of biomaterials that directly interface with native tissue. \n \n\nDate: Friday\, December 10\, 2021\nTime: 8:00 AM EST\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97816028147 (Zoom link requires prior registration)\nChair: Dr. David Kohn UID:89701-21665017@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/89701 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,bme,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211104T150425 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211210T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211210T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Buying Home\, Selling America: the House Catalog\, 1906-1966 DESCRIPTION:Buying Home\, Selling America: the House Catalog\, 1906-1966 brings to light the collection of house catalogs in the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library’s Special Collections.

Saldamando merges painting and collage\, often using origami paper\, glitter\, or gold leaf in her compositions\, many of which are painted on wood or found surfaces. Her modern portraits and innovative methods challenge social constructs pertaining to individual and collective identity within the broader context of the “American Portrait.” Saldamando’s visual biographies\, which use her friends\, family\, and fellow members of the Chicanx creative community in Los Angeles\, create new ways of seeing and being seen.\n\nOn November 2\, 6:30-8pm\, Shizu Saldamando talks to curator Amanda Krugliak about Shizu's artistic practice and her exhibition *When This is All Over / Cuando Esto Termine*.\n\nAbout the artist: Shizu Saldamando is an LA based mixed media artist with an emphasis on portraiture. She received her B.A. from UCLA’s School of Arts and Architecture and her M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited both locally and internationally and experiments with a broad range of surfaces and materials. Saldamando’s practice employs tattooing\, video\, painting and drawing on canvas\, wood\, paper\, and cloth. The work functions as homage\, as well as documentation\, of friends and peers within artistic and musical subcultures around the Los Angeles metropolitan area. She is currently represented by Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles.\n\nShizu Saldamando is the 2021 Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities.

It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us\, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art\, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.\n\nCurrently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States\, and in Michigan\, there are roughly 33\,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments\, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons\; the impact of incarceration on women\; youth incarceration\; and the dangers of COVID-19.\n\nThe exhibition features artists\, poets\, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force\, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in\, together.\n\nFree Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges\, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs\, and Janie Paul\, Senior Curator and Cofounder\, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners\, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

Employers may thus still want to ask about a job applicant's criminal record later in the hiring process or make inaccurate judgments based on an applicant's demographic characteristics. In this paper\, we use a field experiment conducted in partnership with a nationwide staffing platform to test policies that more directly address the reasons that employers may conduct criminal background checks. The experiment asked hiring managers at nearly a thousand U.S. businesses to make actual hiring decisions under different randomized conditions. We find that 39% of businesses in our sample are willing to work with individuals with a criminal record at baseline\, which rises to over 50% when businesses are offered crime and safety insurance\, a single performance review\, a background check covering just the past year\, or objective information on the productivity of these individuals. Wage subsidies can achieve similar increases but at a substantially higher cost. Based on our findings\, the staffing platform relaxed the criminal background check requirement and offered crime and safety insurance to interested businesses.

As such\, it operates as a barrier to the recruitment\, retention\, and advancement of faculty of color.\n\nU-M LSA professor Isis Settles will describe the nature of epistemic exclusion\, the disciplinary and identity-based (e.g.\, related to a person’s gender or race) biases that underlie it and suggest strategies for change.

Defense: Christopher D. Davidson DESCRIPTION:The ability of cells to communicate and coordinate their activity is crucial to the development and homeostatic function of all tissues. In addition to the well-established means of biochemically mediated signaling\, a more recent body of evidence has indicated that cells can also communicate via cell-generated forces transmitted to neighboring cells through the extracellular matrix (ECM). One setting in which a deeper understanding of mechanical intercellular communication (MIC) would be extremely valuable is in vasculogenesis\, or the de novo formation of a microvascular network. This dynamic process involves the assembly and organization of individual endothelial progenitor cells into an interconnected network of capillaries\, thus requiring cellular communication and coordination over large spatial scales. If fully understood and harnessed\, vasculogenic assembly presents a promising approach to vascularizing engineered tissue constructs for regenerative medicine applications. We hypothesize physical properties of the ECM are critical to MIC as the matrix context defines not only the generation of cell forces but also force transmission through the matrix to nearby cells. Thus\, the focus of this dissertation is to study cell force propagation and MIC between endothelial cells (ECs) in controllable synthetic ECMs towards the informed design of biomaterials that drive rapid self-assembly of functional microvascular networks.\n\n \n\nFirst\, this thesis explores how physical attributes of the ECM regulate the assembly of ECs into interconnected multicellular networks. To mimic the fibrous microenvironments where neovascularization typically occurs in the body\, we developed a novel model of the EC network formation assay utilizing 2.5D matrices of electrospun synthetic dextran methacrylate (DexMA) polymeric fibers. Our results revealed that active cell-mediated matrix deformations and fiber recruitment through actomyosin force generation occurs concurrently with the formation and stabilization of multicellular EC networks.\n\n \n\nNext\, this thesis describes the development and characterization of a new material system composed of electrospun dextran vinyl sulfone (DexVS) polymeric fibers that possess longer-term mechanical stability in culture as compared to DexMA matrices. These matrices were utilized for two major objectives: 1) investigating the role of matrix mechanics on the activation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts\, a key component of wound healing and the fibrotic progression\, and 2) exploring the impact of nonlinear matrix mechanical properties on vasculogenic assembly by imbuing fibers with crimped microstructure.\n\n \n\nLastly\, this thesis describes the mechanism of MIC between individual ECs during vasculogenic assembly. By combining electrospun DexMA fiber matrices with a microfabrication-based cell-patterning method\, we investigated EC force-mediated matrix displacements and MIC as a function of matrix stiffness and identified the critical cellular machinery required for ECs to sense and respond to mechanical signals emanating from neighboring cells. We then sought to harness these observations in more translatable 3D hydrogel constructs by using a composite approach where fibrin hydrogels were reinforced with electrospun DexVS fiber segments. While traditional approaches to prevascularize 3D hydrogels require long-term co-cultures of ECs and support stromal cells\, our work demonstrated that mechanical cues from synthetic fibers enable ECs alone to rapidly self-assemble into networks of lumenized capillary-like structures.\n\n \n\nOverall\, the work presented in this dissertation integrates biomaterials\, tissue engineering\, and microfabrication approaches to investigate the mechanobiology of how cell forces regulate intercellular communication during vasculogenic assembly. The results presented here are critical to the design of biomaterials that promote robust capillary network assembly for applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.\n\n \n\nDate: Friday\, December 10\, 2021\n\nTime: 1:00 PM EST\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAoceuhqD0rHdwL8duV6QwOcYjLXl14kysD (Zoom link requires prior registration)\n\nChair: Dr. Brendon Baker UID:89668-21664759@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/89668 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211210T181551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211210T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211210T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Study and Sketch: Drawing and Coloring with the Arts Initiative DESCRIPTION:.\n \nLocal artists have created a Drawing Guide that offers a series of prompts and drawing exercises to help you to process your emotional journey throughout the past 18 months using creative\, artistic expression.

Moreover\, interactions in the workplace (be they formal or informal) shape employees’ identities\, as they reveal the extent to which identities are accepted or contested (Sanchez-Hucles & Davis\, 2010). Sport organizational cultures\, aptly characterized as inequality regimes (Acker\, 2006) established at the axes of race and gender (and other ascriptions)\, create habitus (Bourdieu\, 1984) of inclusion and exclusion that uniquely impact the identity and the leadership opportunities and experiences of Black women employed therein. The climate of many sport organizational cultures often discourages Black women from ‘bringing’ their authentic Blackness into the workplace\, requiring them to engage in a number social-psychological strategies to insulate and protect the essence of their ‘self’ at work. This presentation is an excerpt of a larger project on Black women in sport leadership (Simpkins & Armstrong\, In Progress). It will discuss race as aesthetic labor (Williams & Connell\, 2010)\, and it will illustrate the manner in which Black women sport leaders navigate their Blackness in the workplace as: (a) personal agency\, and (b) embodied racial identity. It will conclude by discussing the need for inclusive organizational cultures and workplaces free of anti-Black racism where Black women may thrive in the fullness of their Blackness as leaders.

Kerr geodesics describe the leading order motion. \nAfter a short summary of the classification of polar and radial Kerr geodesic motion\, I will consider the inspiral motion of a point particle around the Kerr black hole \nsubjected to the self-force. I will describe its quasi-circular inspiral motion in the radiation timescale expansion. I will describe in parallel the transition-to-merger motion around the last stable \ncircular orbit and prove that it is controlled by the Painlevé transcendental equation of the first kind. I will then prove that one can consistently match the two motions using \nthe method of asymptotically matched expansions.

Tendencies for negation to appear early in the sentence have been observed by scholars working in typology\, language contact\, and language acquisition. However\, it remains uncertain if it is necessary to postulate and motivate an independent NegFirst preference\, or whether the observed tendencies can broadly be explained by other cognitive and linguistic biases which may play a role in basic constituent order patterns\, grammaticalization\, and language acquisition. In the current study\, I use an Artificial Language Learning paradigm to test the existence of a behavioral bias consistent with NegFirst in the behavior of English speakers\, and incorporate a dyadic director-matcher task in order to investigate a hypothesis that the NegFirst principle is driven by communicative factors. This study contributes to a growing body of research which aims to corroborate typological tendencies with behavioral evidence at the individual level. In this talk\, I will share preliminary results which suggest that English-speaking learners do show behavior consistent with a NegFirst bias\, and discuss plans to extend this research to Japanese speakers in the future.\n \nJustin Craft:\nThe Effect of Listener Experience and Social Expectation on Illusory Percepts\n\nABSTRACT\nPerceptual recalibration research has been central in demonstrating that listeners readily adapt to accented speech as listeners gain experience with accented speakers. Likewise\, the sociophonetic literature has demonstrated that listener expectations and experience established through visual or contextual means also appears to drive listener percepts and inferentially aid in efforts to resolve socially conditioned phonetic ambiguities. In this talk\, I'll present preliminary results from one of my dissertation experiments that utilizes McGurk stimuli to probe whether these expectational and recalibratory effects persist in illusory percepts. By breaking the audio-visual integration characteristic of typical speech processing\, the use of illusory stimuli targets whether the percepts listeners experience\, when stripped of socially meaningful acoustic cues\, still show evidence of sociophonetic knowledge that otherwise reflects the variation found in congruent veridical audio-visual signals in the world. \n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact lingadmin@umich.edu.

This early period begins at the end of a global Spanish Flu pandemic and World War I and ends during the height of the Great Depression. This period saw the first undergraduate social work curriculum launched on the Ann Arbor campus and ends as the program moves to Detroit where the social work program remained until 1950.\n\nAmong the major themes is the struggle for racial justice\, including challenging segregation on the University of Michigan campus. Early social work students were involved in an inter-racial alliance group\, the Negro-Caucasian Club\, that started in 1925 and the efforts of those students are depicted in the play.\n\nThis production is Directed by Aria Davis. Produced by Rich Tolman (SSW) and Kate Mendeloff (RC Drama). The cast includes faculty and students from the School of Social Work community.

It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us\, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art\, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.\n\nCurrently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States\, and in Michigan\, there are roughly 33\,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments\, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons\; the impact of incarceration on women\; youth incarceration\; and the dangers of COVID-19.\n\nThe exhibition features artists\, poets\, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force\, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in\, together.\n\nFree Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges\, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs\, and Janie Paul\, Senior Curator and Cofounder\, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners\, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

Shepard’s tragic death ulti­mately led to the cre­ation of the Matthew Shep­ard Foun­da­tion and pro­vided a cat­a­lyst for leg­is­la­tion that expanded the def­i­n­i­tion of a hate crime to include sex­ual ori­en­ta­tion. In 2009\, Con­gress passed the Matthew Shep­ard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Pre­ven­tion Act. Com­poser Craig Hella John­son had a pro­foundly per­sonal reac­tion to both the mur­der and its res­o­nance. The Shep­ard fam­ily and Foun­da­tion engaged with John­son to cre­ate the Grammy-nom­i­nated ora­to­rio\, Con­sid­er­ing Matthew Shep­ard\, which draws from frag­ments of Shepard’s per­sonal diary. \n \nIn Novem­ber 2021\, the U‑M School of Music\, The­atre & Dance and UMMA cre­ated filmed a live performance of the U‑M Cham­ber Choir per­form­ing the ora­to­rio under the direc­tion of award win­ning con­duc­tor Eugene Rogers\, acclaimed stage direc­tor Matt Kunkel\, and Emmy-award win­ning film pro­ducer Bob Berg\, with pianist Scott VanOr­num\, pro­duc­tion designer Har­ri­son Hof­fert\, and nar­rated by Priscilla Lind­say.

This early period begins at the end of a global Spanish Flu pandemic and World War I and ends during the height of the Great Depression. This period saw the first undergraduate social work curriculum launched on the Ann Arbor campus and ends as the program moves to Detroit where the social work program remained until 1950.\n\nAmong the major themes is the struggle for racial justice\, including challenging segregation on the University of Michigan campus. Early social work students were involved in an inter-racial alliance group\, the Negro-Caucasian Club\, that started in 1925 and the efforts of those students are depicted in the play.\n\nThis production is Directed by Aria Davis. Produced by Rich Tolman (SSW) and Kate Mendeloff (RC Drama). The cast includes faculty and students from the School of Social Work community.

The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together\, and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered\, and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including Ragbirds' original songs inspired by the holiday.

It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us\, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art\, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.\n\nCurrently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States\, and in Michigan\, there are roughly 33\,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments\, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons\; the impact of incarceration on women\; youth incarceration\; and the dangers of COVID-19.\n\nThe exhibition features artists\, poets\, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force\, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in\, together.\n\nFree Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges\, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs\, and Janie Paul\, Senior Curator and Cofounder\, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners\, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan.

For some\, this exhibition at the MSU Broad Art Lab is the first opportunity to show their work since regaining their freedom. Art-making has helped these artists during the dark years of their incarceration\, and we hope the exhibition inspires visitors to learn more about how to support formerly incarcerated people reconnecting with their communities.\n\nMartín Vargas\, artist and curator of this exhibition\, invites visitors and supporters to not only connect with the artists through their work\, but also during select Art Lab studio hours\, which will feature several of the artists working in person.\n\nConnections\, New Beginnings: Artists in Transition is organized by the Linkage Project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan in partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University.

On assignment in Uzbekistan — accompanied by her cynical director (Shota Sometani)\, a cameraman (Ryo Kase)\, an AD (Tokio Emoto)\, and a local Japanese speaking guide (Adiz Radjabov) — she searches for a mythical\, fish\, samples culinary delicacies\, and seeks out other wonders in a land that often appears strange and hostile. But everything goes wrong. She’s unable to find the fish\, she almost chokes on half-cooked food\, and\, frustrated by the failed filming\, decides to set aside her host duties and take a stroll on her own.

This early period begins at the end of a global Spanish Flu pandemic and World War I and ends during the height of the Great Depression. This period saw the first undergraduate social work curriculum launched on the Ann Arbor campus and ends as the program moves to Detroit where the social work program remained until 1950.\n\nAmong the major themes is the struggle for racial justice\, including challenging segregation on the University of Michigan campus. Early social work students were involved in an inter-racial alliance group\, the Negro-Caucasian Club\, that started in 1925 and the efforts of those students are depicted in the play.\n\nThis production is Directed by Aria Davis. Produced by Rich Tolman (SSW) and Kate Mendeloff (RC Drama). The cast includes faculty and students from the School of Social Work community.

As robotic systems move toward more challenging behaviors in more complex scenarios\, such systems require richer maps so that the robot understands the significance of the scene and objects within. \nThis dissertation focuses on semantic-aware robotic mapping in unknown\, loosely structured environments. The first contribution is a Bayesian kernel inference semantic mapping framework that formulates a unified probabilistic model for occupancy and semantics\, and provides a closed-form solution for scalable dense semantic mapping. This framework significantly reduces the computational complexity of learning-based continuous semantic mapping and achieves high accuracy in the meantime. Next\, a novel and flexible multi-task multi-layer Bayesian mapping framework is proposed to provide even richer environmental information. A two-layer robotic map of semantics and traversability is built as a strong example. Moreover\, it is readily extendable to include more layers according to needs. Both mapping algorithms were verified using publicly available datasets or through experimental results on a Cassie-series bipedal robot. Finally\, instead of modeling the terrain traversability using metrics defined by domain knowledge\, an energy-based deep inverse reinforcement learning method is developed to learn the traversability from demonstrations. The proposed method considers robot proprioception and can learn reward maps that lead to more energy-efficient future trajectories. Experiments are conducted using a dataset collected by a Mini-Cheetah robot in different environments.

Qubits based on semiconductor spins are particularly promising because of their long coherence times and prospects for scaling up to large processors by leveraging the existing semiconductor electronics infrastructure. However\, many fundamental challenges related to decoherence\, controllability\, and device architecture remain. I will describe our efforts to address these challenges on multiple fronts using smart control schemes\, bath-state engineering with Floquet physics\, and entanglement generation between remote spins.\n\n UID:89611-21664557@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/89611 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211130T122141 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211213T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211213T150000 SUMMARY:Well-being:Flu and COVID Vaccination Clinic DESCRIPTION:UHS in partnership with Kroger Health is hosting a flu and COVID vaccination clinic on campus!\n\nRegistration is required:\n - December 10th https://form.jotform.com/213166471961155\n - December 13th https://form.jotform.com/213226585093154\n\nLocation: Indoor Training Center (Near the back of the athletic complex)\nAddress. 1150 STATE ST Ann Arbor\, MI 48104 \n\nInsurance: Please bring your health and prescription insurance cards with you to the vaccine appointment.

Computational imaging pipelines\, which replace optics with computation\, have enabled image formation in situations that are impossible for conventional optical imaging. For instance\, the first black hole image\, published in 2019\, was only made possible through the development of computational imaging pipelines that worked alongside an Earth-sized distributed telescope. However\, remaining scientific questions motivate us to improve this computational telescope to see black hole phenomena still invisible to us and to meaningfully interpret the collected data. This talk will discuss how we are leveraging and building upon recent advances in machine learning in order to achieve more efficient uncertainty quantification of reconstructed images as well as to develop techniques that allow us to extract the evolving structure of our own Milky Way's black hole over the course of a night.\n\nKatherine L.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. \n\nIn the U.S. cultural imagination\, Indigenous Peoples loom large in romanticized and stereotyped ways\, yet contemporary Indigenous Peoples are largely omitted from the public conscience. In K-12 education\, for example\, 87% of references to Indigenous Americans portray them in a pre-1900’s context. In mainstream media\, less than .5% of representations are of contemporary Indigenous Peoples. Utilizing both experimental and national survey studies\, I will demonstrate that prevalent representations of Indigenous Peoples (or lack thereof) shape how people think\, feel\, and subsequently act towards Indigenous Peoples\, as well as how Indigenous Peoples feel about themselves and act to make change in society. Specifically\, I will first show that recognizing Indigenous omission shapes discrimination and both implicit and explicit bias towards Indigenous Peoples\, including attitudes about the use of redface\, and apathy towards the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls epidemic. I will then show how sensitivity to Indigenous omission has adverse psychological consequences for Indigenous Peoples’ wellbeing\, but also serves to galvanize efforts to change the status quo through civic engagement. By making visible the pernicious consequences of omission and highlighting Indigenous agency and resistance to omission\, we illuminate a path towards creating a more equitable future for Indigenous Peoples.

Drawing its inspiration in part from *The Fierce Urgency of Now: Improvisation\, Rights\, and the Ethics of Cocreation*\, a collaboratively-authored book by Daniel Fischlin\, George Lipsitz\, and Ajay Heble\, this series of online roundtable conversations will explore improvisation in the arts as a scene of encounter. What happens when artists come together to improvise\, and what might this scene of encounter tell us about the staging and negotiation of difference: between artists\, between artists and audiences\, between the present moment and the varied histories and contexts that gave rise to it? Moderated by Ajay Heble\, the focus of the final panel is “Intercultural Collaboration\,” and brings together scholar-practitioners from diverse disciplines. \n\nIn an era when diverse peoples and communities of interest struggle to forge historically new forms of affiliation across cultural divides\, the participatory and civic virtues of engagement\, dialogue\, respect\, and community-building inculcated through improvisatory practices take on a particular urgency. Exploring the improvisational encounters enacted through intercultural artistic practices\, the panel will discuss how (and to what extent) such encounters can function as a powerful bridge between artists from very different cultures. To what extent might these encounters offer testing grounds for understanding—and modeling--how people might best learn to get along in a globalized world? What can we learn about trust\, relatedness\, responsibility\, and social obligation from intercultural improvisatory encounters in the arts?\n\nFive-time Juno Award winner\, Jane Bunnett has turned her bands and recordings into showcases for the finest musical talent from Canada\, the US\, and Cuba. An internationally acclaimed musician\, Bunnett is known for her creative integrity\, improvisational daring\, and courageous artistry. Her exploration of Afro-Cuban melodies expresses the universality of music\, and her ability to embrace and showcase the rhythms and culture of Cuba has been ground-breaking. She has toured the world bringing her own special sound to numerous jazz festivals\, displaying her versatility as a flutist\, saxophone player\, and pianist.\n\nOmi Osun Joni L. Jones’ work is committed to exploring strategies for promoting healthy communities through personal Joy. She is an artist/scholar/facilitator who employs Black Feminist aesthetics in her performance work\, her pedagogy\, and her consulting. She has performed at The New Black Fest (NYC)\, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco)\, and Links Hall (Chicago). Her scholarship has appeared in The Drama Review\, Obsidian\, and Theatre Journal as well as solo/black/woman and Blacktino Queer Performance. Her most recent book is *Theatrical Jazz: Performance*\, *Àṣẹ*\, and the *Power for the Present Moment* (Ohio State University Press). She is Professor Emerita from the African and African Diaspora Studies Department at the University of Texas at Austin.\n\nGeorge Lipsitz is Professor of Black Studies and Sociology at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Along with Daniel Fischlin and Ajay Heble he is co-author of *The Fierce Urgency of Now: Improvisation\, Rights and the Ethics of Co-Creation*. Lipsitz has authored (among other books) *How Racism Takes Place*\, *The Possessive Investment in Whiteness*\, *Time Passages*\, *Dangerous Crossroads*\, *Footsteps in the Dark* and *Midnight at the Barrelhouse*. \n\nScholar-in-Residence Ajay Heble is Director of the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation and Professor of English in the School of English and Theatre Studies at the University of Guelph. He is the author or editor of several books\, and a founding co-editor of the journal Critical Studies in Improvisation/Études critiques en improvisation (www.criticalimprov.com). He was the Project Director for Improvisation\, Community\, and Social Practice\, a large-scale Major Collaborative Research Initiative\, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. As the Founder and Artistic Director of the Guelph Jazz Festival\, Heble has jolted the citizens of Guelph into an appreciation of improvised and avant-garde music and delighted aficionados from around the world with his innovative and daring programming. \n\nIf you require accommodation to participate in CWPS events\, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies\, at 734-936-2777 or cwps.information@umich.edu.

They have high energy costs\, generally 2 - 10x that in the Lower-48 states\, and face unique reliability and supply-chain challenges. Fission microreactors are well suited to resolving these technical challenges\, but it is an open question whether they will be economically viable.\n\nIn this talk\, we present the results of our recent study where we assessed the maximum capital and operating costs an economically viable microreactor can have in Alaska. We used the GenX energy dispatch and capacity expansion modelling tool to evaluate the cost of providing electricity and heat to serve two types of Alaskan communities\, and calculated the cost efficiency of including a fission microreactor. We find that three factors dominate the calculation: (i) access to natural gas\, (ii) the size of the heat load and the accessibility of a district heating network\, and (iii) the importance of emission reductions UID:89907-21666337@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/89907 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Energy,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences,Sustainability LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211201T101659 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211214T161500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211214T201500 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Group-X Free Week DESCRIPTION:Try any Group-X class for FREE Sunday\, December 12 - Thursday\, December 16.

As we all continue to navigate uncertainty and challenges that are inherent in the act of being human\, we benefit from and are grateful for diverse cultures and traditions across the globe. Collectively they have passed on a wide variety of contemplative practices that encourage reflection\, silence\, and centering into the present moment to help us cope and better respond. Engaging in contemplative practices support the individual\, by cultivating a sense of awareness and well-being\, and benefit society by enhancing one’s capacity to create connection and community\, and to become an agent of positive social change. There are many forms of contemplative practices\, including meditation. Mindfulness meditation is one form aimed to help focus our awareness on the present moment as it unfolds\, moment to moment\, without judgment. Research on mindfulness continues to find a wide range of benefits. In short\, Mindfulness may be viewed as cognitive training that bolsters our ability to handle stress\, poor mood\, and threat. It also increases our capacity to focus our attention on what is most important to us and to be more compassionate to ourselves and to others.\n\nOn Wednesdays from 12:15 - 12:45 pm\, we come together in community to practice this skill in an open and supportive virtual space. Whether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. Join this supportive community and experience the gift of present moment awareness.
