This exhibit includes photos from Vietnam and Grand Rapids\, MI\, along with political\, cultural\, and personal perspectives of the journey of Vietnamese immigrants to Michigan following the Vietnam War. It augments the Great Michigan Read\, the Michigan Humanities Council's statewide reading program\, and provides additional historical context to its book selection\, \"Stealing Buddha's Dinner.\"\n\n\"Stealing Buddha's Dinner\" is a memoir chronicling author Bich Minh Nguyen's migration from Vietnam in 1975 and her coming of age in Grand Rapids in the 1980s. Along the way\, she struggles to construct her own cultural identity from a menagerie of uniquely American influences.\n\nThe University Library is one of only six sites chosen to host this exhibit.\n\nAccessible during library hours\; see http://www.lib.umich.edu/hatcher-graduate- library UID:2556-920179@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/2556 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:multicultural LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Room 100/Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20100329T161307 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20100222T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100222T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:A History of the Bible from Ancient Papyri to King James DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, from the Special Collections Library\, shows a path of documents that led to the creation of the 1611 King James Version of the Bible – from ancient Egyptian manuscripts on papyrus to Medieval manuscripts to the printed book.\n\nThe earliest documents on display are Egyptian papyri\, including examples of a census record from the year 119 and the oldest known copy of part of the New Testament. Medieval manuscripts document the preservation of the text until the invention of movable type printing by Gutenberg around 1450. The early printed Bibles include versions in Latin and Greek\, and several that show the struggles among various political factions and church reformers to control the translating of the Scriptures into the language of the people. See the King James Bible of 1611 that became the accepted standard.\n\nFor Audubon Room hours\, see https://www.lib.umich.edu/audubon-room UID:2220-918629@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/2220 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room/First Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20101111T175822 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20100222T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100222T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Santu Mofokeng's Chasing Shadows DESCRIPTION:Santu Mofokeng\, one of South Africa's most prominent photographers\, began his work as a documentarian of the anti-Apartheid struggle. Eventually deciding to leave the field of straightforward photojournalism\, he focused instead on isolating the simple gestures of everyday life in South African townships. His work explores landscape imbued with memory\, loss\, and spirituality\, and forces us to examine any preconceived notion we have regarding exact locations of faith\, identity\, or community. The photographs serve to “reclaim landscape\,” examining themes of ownership\, and the relationship between the land\, power\, and money. In his extraordinary series Chasing Shadows\, displaced people reclaim their spirituality and sustenance even in the midst of relentless transition. His most recent urban landscapes go beyond social and political commentary\, meditating on the profound absurdity of living. Billboards cruelly highlight the impoverishment of the citizenry they importune.\n\nMofokeng has been the recipient of numerous awards. In 1991\, he won the Ernest Cole Scholarship to study at the International Center of Photography in New York. He was also awarded the first Mother Jones Award for Africa in 1992\, and more recently the Kunstlerhaus Worpswede Fellowship and DAAD Fellowship\, both in Germany\, and was the Prince Claus Laureate for Visual Arts in 2009.

The fossil has proven to be a “link” between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\" front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys\, and is broadly representative of what human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago. Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr Jørn Hurum\, the Norwegian vertebrate paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner\, and led the research. Ida was about eight months old\, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human. Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book\, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestors by Colin Tudge\, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US)\, BBC One (UK)\,and various stations in Germany and Norway. U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream team\" invited to study Ida. The exhibit will be on display through May 2010.

State St.\, Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\n\nSponsored by The Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation Co-Sponsored by the University of Michigan Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute and the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment\n\nABSTRACT: Emissions trading policies initially relied on “squatter's rights” principles granting emissions allowances to existing polluters for free. Recently\, however\, policy designers have largely abandoned this approach\, requiring polluters to buy allowances from the public through auctions. Given the high financial stakes\, this is a momentous shift. Given how skeptical experts and decision makers have been of the political viability of allowance auctions\, and the opposition of powerful economic interests\, it is also a remarkable political development. This presentation will document the surprising emergence of a new paradigm of public resource ownership\, as well as offering some thoughts on why this paradigm suddenly gained political traction. The main argument is that the linking of long-standing efficiency-based justifications for auctions to widely shared norms of public ownership and entitlement finally made auctions politically feasible\, and should make some form of public ownership more politically durable going forward. At the same time\, the presentation will also explore an ongoing tension between two competing visions of public ownership within this new allocation paradigm. Under one conception\, a more egalitarian norm of ownership mandates equal shares for all citizens. Under the alternative\, public ownership entails greater discretion for elected representatives\, who may use auction revenue for purposes they determine are in the best interests of the public. How this tension will be resolved remains a vital question for future emissions trading policies\, even within a new paradigm of public ownership. LEIGH RAYMOND is Associate Professor of Political Science at Purdue University and a founding member and Associate Director of the Purdue Climate Change Research Center. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Environmental Science\, Policy\, and Management from U.C. Berkeley as well as a B.A. in Philosophy from Yale University. Dr. Raymond has published articles on environmental policy in more than a dozen scholarly journals\, as well as his 2003 book Private Rights in Public Resources (Resources for the Future Press). His most recent work on emissions trading is a chapter on “The Emerging Revolution in Emissions Trading” for a forthcoming (2010) book from Brookings Press: Greenhouse Governance: Addressing American Climate Change Policy. Dr. Raymond has given invited talks on emissions trading before numerous audiences\, including the Indiana Center for Coal Technology Research\, the Harvard Electricity Policy Group\, the MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research\, and the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington\, D.C.\n\nFor more information\, contact the Program in Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy through stpp.fordschool.umich.edu or email jbisanz@umich.edu UID:678-912337@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/678 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Weill Hall (Ford School) - 1110 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20100122T115717 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20100222T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20100222T190000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Changing Environment of Northern Michigan: A Century of Science and Nature at the University of Michigan Biological Station DESCRIPTION:The editors and writers of \"The Changing Environment of Northern Michigan\" will talk about the way plants\, animals\, and the landscape in the state have changed since the University of Michigan Biological Station\, affectionately known as “bug camp\,” was founded 100 years ago (and even before then\, since colonial times). A book signing and Q&A will follow.\n\nLike the station itself\, the book provides a solid background for better appreciating the relationships among living and nonliving parts of northern Michigan\, for anyone interested in exploring the region's forests\, fields\, and wetlands\; wading or paddling down its rivers\; or swimming or floating across its lakes.
