U-SHAPE, the first ever large-scale study of its kind, aims to understand the habits, attitudes, and perceptions of undergraduate and graduate students related to eating and body image. U-SHAPE is designed to gather important information about the ways in which individual characteristics as well as the campus environment influence students’ relationships with eating, dieting, exercise, and body image, and how these relationships, in turn, fit into a larger picture of student mental health.

The survey opens at 5:00pm on Tuesday, October 2 and closes at 11:59pm on Wednesday, October 24. Students will be RANDOMLY SAMPLED to participate in this important survey!

For all students - Participate in U-SHAPE!

Travel, an essential activity of human societies, has evolved into an industry with social, economic and environmental impacts. From pilgrimage and exploration to trade and tourism, advances in transportation have enabled new types of travel and created new places, some existing solely for the vacationer. This exhibition highlights changes in travel including information on early pilgrimages, exploration narratives, the grand tour of Europe, women travellers, World’s Fairs, the birth of the family vacation and specialized tourism using maps and narratives from the Library collections.

After receiving a BFA from Rutgers University, Denise Rohde went on to study photography with renowned photographer Art Sinsabaugh at the University of Illinois. Working for years in a darkroom, the switch to digital allowed her to draw from her painting and printmaking experience. Being able to combine mediums digitally has unleashed her imagination. Denise moved to Ann Arbor eight years ago from Champaign, Illinois, and she has found Michigan to be an "eyeful." Some of her exhibits include the University of Illinois, Roulette NYC, Peachtree Plaza Atlanta and the Kodak Pavilion, Epcot Center.

Canan Tolon’s paintings and installations serve as visual records of the passing of time. Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally, proliferating in the room.

Upon first glance, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite, suggestive of vast open spaces, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection, we contemplate our own histories.

Then, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow, after the proverbial summer full of expectation…expecting things to change, to be different, to be new again, we are struck with a profound disillusionment, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. — Amanda Krugliak, arts curator

This Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards.

“It’s been said that life is a sexually transmitted condition with a terminal prognosis.” (Ira Byock, MD) It helps to think ahead about what options you have and make choices for your quality of life. Topics will include: death and dying, dealing with how our minds work, the problem of pain, and considering how to lovingly say “goodbye.” Abby Wilson taught adults from Lamaze method to leadership development. She is retired clergy in the United Church of Christ.

The Todd Ouida Annual Lecture in Childhood Anxiety and Depression at the U-M Depression Center honors the memory of Todd Ouida. Although severe anxiety troubled Todd throughout his early childhood, with therapy and the support of his family, he overcame the disorder and went on to have a rich high school experience, later earning a degree in psychology from U-M. He had just launched into the beginning of a promising career when he lost his life in the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attacks at the age of 25.

Herb and Andrea Ouida, Todd's parents, established the lecture and the Todd Ouida Clinical Scholar Awards (intended to further the work of outstanding young researchers working in childhood anxiety and depression) in their son's name. This is the 10th annual event. Mary Fristad, Ph.D., ABPP, will present "Nonpharmacologic Adjunctive Interventions for Childhood Mood Disorders."

African Art and the Shape of Time explores how African art gives material form to diverse concepts of temporality, history and memory. African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical, social, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art, National Museum of African Art, Fowler Museum at UCLA, as well as several Detroit area private collections, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things, Embodied Time, Moving Through Time, Global Time, and "NOW."

This exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition "Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire," which features the Clements collection's major painting "The Death of General Wolfe." William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.

Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Benjamin West's iconic painting The Death of General Wolfe (1776) depicts the death of James Wolfe, the British commander at the 1759 Battle of Quebec during what in this country is known as the French and Indian War. In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan, Canadian, and British collections, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.

Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation, the University of Michigan Health System, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Office of the Vice President for Research, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, and THE MOSAIC FOUNDATION (of R. & P. Heydon).

The Seoul-based art collaborative, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature. Blurring the boundaries between media, technologies, and cultural histories, YHCHI has gained international acclaim for their "net art" productions-mostly black- and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic font with synchronized music. This exhibition will present a newly commissioned piece by UMMA, which will be added to the artists' website, yhchang.com.

This exhibition is generously supported by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, and the Nam Center for Korean Studies. Additional support provided by the Dr. Robert and Janet Miller Fund.

Visitors encountering Danish artist Just’s exhibit will find themselves captivated in stages, as the experience of viewing it unfolds over time. In this breathtaking installation, as in much of his work, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty, provocation, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling. Generous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

High Quality Connections are ties or interactions between people marked by mutual regard, trust, and respectful engagement.

Abstract: Michigan and twenty-eight other states have enacted legislation that mandates increases in the amount of electricity that they use from renewable sources. Michigan voters face a coming ballot proposition in November that would amend the state Constitution to increase the level of renewables in use to 25 percent by 2025. This CLOSUP panel will examine this proposal, including a newly-rel4eased report from the Citizens Research Council of Michigan and reflections from scholars who have examined the experience with renewable portfolio standards in states across the nation.

Forward with Scotland's past!

Over 30 years and through constant infusions of fresh talent, the Battlefield Band has brought the whole world of traditional music in step with its motto of "Forward with Scotland's Past." The Battlefield Band -- the name comes from the band's hometown of Battlefield, Scotland -- renews the tradition of Scottish music, mixing the age-old sounds of the bagpipes, cittern, and fiddle with the guitar, accordion, and bouzouki. This band is an institution yet never rests on its laurels, preferring to write new songs and do new arrangements of traditional material instead of revisiting old favorites. The Battlefield Band comes to Michigan with a new album, "Line-Up," that includes a cover of Otis Redding's "That's How Strong My Love Is."
