Driven by grief, fear, loneliness, and desire, she desperately adopts various personas in order to insert herself into other people’s lives. Her unwitting behavior is an attempt to absorb other’s anguish instead of confronting her own. POEM The Kindness of Strangers A tongue-in-cheek poem about the kindness of airplane travel. POEM Have Love A poem about having and making love, sort of. SCHOLARLY ARTICLE Kay Ryan and Poetic Play This is a critical essay on Kay Ryan, U.S. Poet Laureate, 2008-2010. Her poems present verbal puzzles. Ryan focuses on language and the mind more than on emotional and affective states and her typically short lines veil complex metrical arrangements.

Stefanie Snider, Assistant Professor Snider is an assistant professor in Art History at Kendall College of Art and Design. This is her second year as a faculty member at Kendall. PRESENTATION “America is Black, Indigenous, and Muslim: Tatyana Fazlalizadeh’s Public Challenge to White Nationalism” This paper focused on contemporary social practice artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh’s 2016 mural, “America is Black,” originally located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Fazlalizedah’s “America Is Black” exposes the language and imagery propagated by socially conservative groups and the United States president and Congress who wish to erase the country’s history as a colonizing nation and lays bare the stakes involved in anti-racist resistance work by people of color in the United States today. PRESENTATION “The Unremarkable Fatness of Valiant’s Faith” In 2016, Valiant Comics released a new series that featured a superhero named Faith (Zephyr), a young, white, blond, and fat superhero with the powers of telekinesis that allow her to fly and move objects around at will. Faith’s fatness is unusual for a superhero and is in part remarkable because Faith’s fat body is unremarked upon in the early run of the series. This paper looked at how a fat superhero might be able to (re)claim the physical, conceptual, and ethical status of a monstrous woman. PRESENTATION “Media-Specific Possibilities for Graphic Novels” This presentation examined Ellen Forney’s graphic novel, Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and Me (2012), to look at how the graphic novel as a form creates mediaspecific methods of learning about and circulating intersectional disability arts experiences and knowledge to its audiences. BOOK CHAPTER “Social Intelligibility and the In/Visible Body: Laura Aguilar’s SelfPortraits” This exhibition catalog chapter looked at a series of self-portraits that Laura Aguilar, a photographer living in Los Angeles, made during the late 1990s to investigate how Aguilar’s images have productively negotiated issues of corporeality, excess, and marginality to complicate conventionally oppressive interpretations of fat, queer, Chicana, and disabled female bodies and their representations.

SCHOLARLY ARTICLE Niche Modeling of Dengue Fever Using Remotely Sensed Environmental Factors and Boosted Regression Trees (Co-Authors: Ashby, J., MorenoMadriñán, M., & Yiannoutsos, C.) Bernoulli and Poisson family Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) models were used to quantify overall annual risk of Dengue Fever incidence by municipality, in the Magdalena River watershed of Colombia. Their results show that these BRT methods can be successfully used to identify areas at risk and presents great potential for implementation in surveillance programs. PRESENTATION Virus Niche Analysis for Dengue Fever and Zika within the Río Magdalena Watershed (Co-Authors: Moreno-Madriñán, M., & Ashby, J.) Environmental variables derived from MODIS and TRMM satellites were combined with population variables for statistical comparison against reported cases of Dengue Fever in the Río Magdalena watershed. Statistical modeling, including principal component analysis and Boosted Regression Trees, were used to model vector habits. Results identified levels of transmission risk were impacted by varying environmental characteristics which support, and advance, the research literature.

Inspired by the sci-fi works of Tracy K. Smith, the poem merges ancestral mythology with elements from the science fiction TV series Battlestar Galactica, exemplifying the genre Steele has coined “cospoetry”. BOOK CHAPTER When Story is Thicker Than Blood The nonfiction essay “When Story is Thicker Than Blood” appears in Belt Magazine’s latest in its city-based anthology series, “Grand Rapids Grassroots.” This work takes a deep dive into the past, present, and future of the mounds of the little-known Norton Mounds Historic National Landmark which lies just south of Grand Rapids’ city borders, and the heroic activism of the late Debra Muller who fought to preserve these ancient treasures for future generations.

SCHOLARLY ARTICLE Every Second Counts with Rule 16-2 During the final round of the 2017 PGA Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, Justin Thomas faced a seven-foot putt for a birdie 4 on the par-5 10th hole. The putt ended up overhanging the lip of the hole. A little over 11 seconds later, the ball fell into the hole, giving Thomas a much needed birdie and propelling him to victory. Many golfers are familiar with a ten second time limit as it relates to this situation, but a detailed look at the Rules of Golf explains why this birdie counted.

Danielle C. Wyckoff, Assistant Professor Wyckoff, originally from Atlanta, Georgia, is an artist teaching at Kendall College of Art and Design. Her work investigates how loving or losing love allows us to empathize with each other and how the action of narrating an experience affirms our existences. Combining her backgrounds in art, literature, and theatre, Wyckoff’s work involves installation, performance, narrative studies, works on paper, video, and sculpture. She travels, lectures, and exhibits her work internationally. ART EXHIBIT A Prayer, A Wish, A Spell: Individual and Collaborative Works by Courtney Kessel and Danielle C.

For the exhibit, each artist included works of their own as well as debuted collaborative photographs, videos, and an interactive art work. PERFORMANCE Please Tell Me a Story About Love “Please tell me a story about love” was a performative action in which in public spaces Wychoff set up with a sign that requested interaction. In the short time that strangers decide to trust her--and she them--they become participant-collaborators. Focusing on how loving is a common experience that unites us despite outward differences, this action is a gesture in compassion. This version of the performative action was invited for the Mothernists Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark ART EXHIBIT Wavelenghts Wavelengths was a solo exhibition of selected works on paper. ART EXHIBIT Capacity Tension: 2017 Annual Shanghai International Print Exhibition The Shanghai International Print Exhibition included artists from around the world and showcased contemporary printmaking.

R. Brad Yarhouse, Assistant Professor Yarhouse is an animator and professor of Digital Art and Design, and Visual and Critical Studies at Kendall College of Art and Design. His films have been shown internationally. His essays on animation and comics have most recently been published in The International Journal of Comic Art. He speaks on these topics at conferences around the world. PRESENTATION AND SCHOLARLY ARTICLE Examining Film Engagement Through the Visual Language of Comics As a meta-medium, comics are a synthesis of a number of communication systems involving a sophisticated dance of images, words, and symbols. These elements build relationships that contribute to a reading experience. The film also contains a variety of media elements creating sequential relationships within the narrative experience. By examining film media within the context of the visual grammar and theories proposed for comics, we may gain more insights into how engagement in film is achieved. SCHOLARLY ARTICLE Hero in the Hallway (Co-Authors: Syverson, E., Dionne, M., Workman, J., Driessche, J., & Albrecht, L.) This is a animated commercial spot for the State of Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK2SAY app. The app allows middle or high school students to send anonymous tips regarding school or student safety to people who can help.

Her studio work may also be found in the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Art. PRESENTATION Performing Masculinity: Working Class White Men and the Iconic Photographs of Lewis Hine Prompted by the current bizarre state of populist politics in the United States, this paper analyzes Lewis Hine’s photographs of Men at Work as modeling conflicted and problematic notions of masculinity. These images and others like them, she argues, are seminal to understanding the identities internalized by many selfidentified “angry” white working class men—a demographic largely responsible for propelling Donald Trump into the White House. SCHOLARLY ARTICLE Case Study: The Development and Evolution of the Creative Arts Practice-led PhD at the University of Melbourne, Victorian College of the Arts This project focused upon the developmental path and outcomes of the practiceled or practice-based Creative Arts Ph.D. program at the University of Melbourne, Victorian College of the Arts with a view towards those strategic points at which cultural context, material conditions, and often-contested definitions of research and scholarship intersect.
