Comics from an international cast of queer artists that respond to trauma with compassion

The first academic volume to theorize and historicize contemporary artistic practices and culture from Chile in the English language, Dismantling the Nation takes as its point of departure a radical criticism against the nation-state of Chile and its colonial, capitalist, heteronormative, and extractivist rule, proposing otherwise forms of inhabiting, creating, and relating in more fluid, contingent, ecocritical, feminist, and caring worlds. From the case of Chile, the book expands the scholarly discussion around decolonial methodologies, attending to artistic practices and discourses from distinct and distant locations--from Arica and the Atacama Desert to Wallmapu and Tierra del Fuego, and from the Central Valley, the Pacific coast, and the Andes to territories beyond the nation's modern geographical borders. Analyzing how these practices refer to issues such as the environmental and cultural impact of extractivism, as well as memory, trauma, collectivity, and resistance towards neoliberal totality, the volume contributes to the fields of art history and visual culture, memory, ethnic, gender, and Indigenous studies, filmmaking, critical geography, and literature in Chile, Latin America, and other regions of the world, envisioning art history and visual culture from a transnational and transdisciplinary perspective.

With a little knowledge and a lot of practice, you can do more than just sound more professional when you skillfully use commas, semicolons, and other forms of punctuation. You can, importantly, become more persuasive. That's what students who have taken Professor Patrick Barry's classes at the University of Michigan Law School, the University of Chicago Law School, and the UCLA School of Law have learned, as have the over 100,000 people who have enrolled in his online course "Good with Words: Writing and Editing" on the educational platforms Coursera and FutureLearn. Now, thanks to this book, you can undergo that same rhetorical transformation. Punctuation doesn't have to be a pain point. When properly mastered, it can be a powerful tool for all kinds of advocates.

Suppose you were good with words. Suppose when you decided to speak, the message you delivered-and the way you delivered it-successfully connected with your intended audience. What would that mean for your career prospects? What would that mean for your comfort level in social situations? And perhaps most importantly, what would that mean for your satisfaction with the personal relationships you value the most? This book is designed to help you find out. Based on an award-winning course and workshop series at the University of Michigan taken by students training to enter a wide range of fields-law, business, medicine, social work, public policy, design, engineering, and many more-it removes the guesswork from figuring out how to communicate clearly and compellingly. All of us have ideas that are worth sharing. Why not learn how to convey yours in a way that people will appreciate, enjoy, and remember?

It's not an accident that hall of fame coaches, Pulitzer Prize-winning writers, and the marketing teams at the most innovative companies in the world often rely on a certain three-part structure when trying to communicate their ideas. This third volume of The Syntax of Sports series explores the mechanics of that structure and shows how it can add a compelling mix of clarity and sophistication to your writing. Like in the previous volumes, the materials come from a popular course at the University of Michigan. Here are comments from students who have taken it: "The quality of this course was fantastic!" "Professor Barry really knows how to keep students engaged." "Professor Barry is very passionate about teaching, and his enthusiasm made me want to write and learn." "This course not only helps you become a better writer but also sheds light on how you might become a better person."

This is a highly original and intriguing book which should attract a good deal of interest. It is based on exhaustive, quite remarkable archival research and includes a sophisticated prosopographical analysis of Jewish enrollment over several decades. Most intriguing, the book unearths hitherto unknown information about the growing influence on University policy of the famously anti-Semitic Henry Ford and figures in Ford's orbit. Despite the contentious nature of their research topic, the authors maintain a consistently detached, non-judgmental, yet intellectually incisive perspective. The result is an entirely credible, well written, often quite exciting chronicle of a minority, most of whose families had been in America for only one or two generations, striving to define themselves, and the response of the Gentile community to those aspirations. Given the centrality of immigration politics in the US and Europe at the present moment, this story has wide contemporary relevance. Victor Lieberman, Raoul Wallenberg Distinguished University Professor of History, University of Michigan This is a deeply researched and strikingly original study of Jewish students at an important place in an important time. Its focus on both the lives of the students and their institutional situation yields deep insight and new, subtle understandings of the complicated interactions of Jewish identity and anti-semitism in a state which, in those years, was the virtual capital of the latter and at a university which struggled with both. Required reading for anyone interested in this topic. Terrence J. McDonald, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, University of Michigan, and Director, Bentley Historical Library

What can we learn from baseball great Ted Williams about how to improve our writing? What can we learn we from the iconic ESPN show SportsCenter about how to manage information? And are you sure you really know what the word "peruse" means? Explore these and other questions in the second volume of The Syntax of Sports, a series designed to recreate a popular course at the University of Michigan. Here are a few things students have said about the experience of taking it. "Patrick Barry is the best teacher I have ever had. I have never learned so much in a class. I hated English my whole life until I took this course." "I feel like this is and always will be the most valuable class I've ever taken here." "I genuinely wanted to show up to this class due to the amount I knew I would learn." "I'm going to severely SEVERELY miss this course." "Every student should try to take one of Prof. Barry's classes if he or she wants to become a better writer." "My writing is now 113x better."

[from the Preface] Designed for a course on image processing (IP) aimed at both graduate students as well as undergraduates in their senior year, in any field of engineering, this book starts with an overview in Chapter 1 of how imaging sensors--from cameras to radars to MRIs and CAT--form images, and then proceeds to cover a wide array of image processing topics. The IP topics include: image interpolation, magnification, thumbnails, and sharpening, edge detection, noise filtering, de-blurring of blurred images, supervised and unsupervised learning, and image segmentation, among many others. As a prelude to the chapters focused on image processing (Chapters 3-12), the book offers in Chapter 2 a review of 1-D signals and systems, borrowed from our 2018 book Signals and Systems: Theory and Applications, by Ulaby and Yagle.

Schubert Miles Ogden (1928-2019) was one of America's preeminent theologians during the last fifty years and spent a significant part of his career at Perkins School of Theology (SMU). During this time he engaged with a broad range of topics and concerns in his writings and teachings, producing an extensive theological body of work. What many in that academic world did not know was that Ogden was also a formidable man in the kitchen, constantly experimenting, testing, and coming up with a variety of recipes, from the distinctly delicious German-style baked goods like stollen to Schubert's Own Salmon Loaf. He even had a signature cocktail called the Minister Margarita. In this present volume titled Food for the Soul: The Recipes of Schubert Ogden we have the second book published under the new Bridwell Press imprint that brings to life a lesser-known aspect of Ogden's dynamic life and world. Instead of the adventures of the great scholar's theological works, in this book we have an element of joyful surprise in his gastronomical oeuvre, and maybe there is something new and illuminating to discover in that as well. This compilation will certainly find a warm and inviting home among both theologians and non-theologians alike, especially if you like to experiment with the never-ending nuances of food.

The main body of this book comprises a detailed reading of a series of South African commission reports. These documents were the products of inquiries into the central issues of state formation which the ruling orders of the South African state used to term the 'Native Question'. In a fundamental sense the present work is an attempt to make sense of the continuities in the stories they told about the structure of the state, and the discontinuities in the terms with which they spoke. That task posed problems of historiography, impelling attempts to work out what these particular commissions were about in their particular historical circumstances. Additionally, it precipitated a more general endeavor to understand relations of power and knowledge in modern states. Neither a conventional work of history nor a work of 'pure' theory, this book is an attempt to write about the writing of a state. In the process it strives to understand how this fictitious and magical 'thing' we term a 'state' is brought into being over and above the myriads of relationships between real human beings organized in the name of the state.

The Michigan Guidelines on the International Protection of Refugees are the result of a collective endeavor of hundreds of scholars, advocates, judges, and international officials to tackle some of the most important and challenging questions in international refugee law. This volume presents 20 years of the Guidelines -- the consensus work of senior Michigan Law students and experts from around the world on cutting-edge refugee law concerns -- in five languages (English, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Russian). The Guidelines address five of the most difficult issues of refugee status: what is the meaning of a "well-founded fear"; when may refugee status be denied on grounds of an "internal protection alternative"; how is the causal connection to a Convention ground to be assessed; when is a risk fairly said to be for reasons of "political opinion"; and under what circumstances are persons believed to have violated rules of international criminal law to be excluded from refugee status? Additionally, this volume also addresses three critical aspects of refugee rights - when may a refugee be required to seek protection in a country not of his or her choosing; to what extent is a refugee entitled to undertake employment or other economic activity; and what is the scope of a refugee's right to freedom of movement, both between states and within the asylum country?

Internationally renowned and now available to the public! The DICE Approach(TM) is the leading evidence-informed method for assessing and managing the behavioral symptoms of dementia. The creators of The DICE Approach(TM) have written an easy-to-understand and use manual to help guide family or facility caregivers through the use of the method. There are an estimated 16 million informal (family or friend) caregivers of people living with dementia in the US and those numbers will increase rapidly as baby boomers age. While dementia is often thought of by the general public as a "memory" disorder", memory problems are almost universally accompanied by behavioral symptoms including depression, anxiety, apathy, hallucinations, agitation, aggression and many more. One or more of these behaviors will affect nearly every person with dementia over the course of the illness, causing one of the most difficult, stressful and costly aspects of care, and often, stress, burden and depression in caregivers. These symptoms are most often treated with psychiatric medications, but in many cases, we are merely sedating the person with dementia, rather than dealing with the problems and triggers underlying the behavioral symptom. Recognizing this critical gap in care, Drs. Kales, Gitlin and Lyketsos created and published The DICE Approach(TM) in 2014 in the form of a research paper. The approach was designed to be an easy to use, step by step method for assessing and managing behaviors in dementia. DICE stands for Describe, Investigate, Create, and Evaluate. It is an adaptation of the reasoning process used by dementia behavior specialists as well as in numerous research trials involving training family caregivers to spot behavioral triggers and to use behavioral management skills. Since then, The DICE Approach(TM) has gained national and international attention and is now used in many dementia clinics, hospitals and long-term care facilities. Using feedback from caregivers trained in the method, Dr. Kales, along with Drs. Gitlin and Lyketsos, have created the official manual for The DICE Approach(TM). Its 124 color pages provide expert training in each step of the approach. In addition, the manual contains easy to understand information about brain changes and behaviors in dementia, commonly used medications, how to build and interact with your support team, and how caregivers can care for themselves during the chaos and stress of caring for others. This is the essential guidebook for anyone who cares for a person living with dementia whether at home or within a facility.

This framework document describes the strategy used by the Center for International Reproductive Health Training at the University of Michigan (UM-CIRHT) to integrate preservice family planning and comprehensive abortion care training into health professional schools' curricula. The program is designed to ensure acquisition of requisite competencies so that partner schools can graduate competent health professionals able to deliver high-quality, comprehensive reproductive health services to women. The framework is intended to provide guidance on how the programmatic and operational strategies for family planning and comprehensive abortion care could be extended in countries or institutions that seek to replicate the UM-CIRHT model in their settings. It may be adapted to the local context of individual countries and institutions. This framework document is produced by UM-CIRHT with funding from an anonymous donor.

This case study chronicles the integration of pre-service training in contraception and comprehensive abortion care into the medical school and OBGYN residency training program at St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) through an authentic partnership with the University of Michigan. The case study showcases the key elements that were crucial in the successful implementation of the SPHMMC program, which has now become mainstream and has been emulated in eight other medical schools in Ethiopia through the University of Michigan's Center for International Reproductive Health Training (CIRHT). The innovative approach, founded on the values of sustainable capacity building through academic partnership and centered on improving access to dignified women's reproductive health care through effective pre-service training, has the potential for expansion to other countries with high rates of maternal mortality and morbidity. In this case study, we spell out the best practices, which we hope will inspire academic medical centers in the Global South, global health departments/centers internationally, and the reproductive health community at large.
