SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Few Good Women
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit from the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame highlights women who served in the US military during WWII.  During WWII women served in the Army and Navy Nurses Corps\, Coast Guars SPARS\, Marine Corps\, Navy WAVES\, Women Army Corps (WACs) and Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASPs)\n\n \n\nFor example:  \"First Lieutenant Aleda Lutz (1915-1994)\, of Saginaw\, Michigan\, volunteered with the 802nd Medical Air Evacuation Squadron where she flew 196 missions evacuating over 3500 men\, logging the most flight hours of any nurse. Lutz was killed in 1944 when her plane crashed in Italy\, making her the first American military woman to die in a combat zone during the war.\"  Come and learn and reflect the proud history of Michigan women who have served in the military.\n \n\nThis exhibit\, with video and audio\, will be on display:\n\nNovember 1st to November 13th to celebrate Veterans Day (November 11th)\n\nLocation - Michigan Union Art Lounge\n\nFor more information on Veterans Day activities please visit our website.\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Waiting for the Extraordinary
DESCRIPTION:In “Waiting for the Extraordinary\,” a new site-specific installation commissioned by the U-M Institute for the Humanities gallery\, Dion focuses his enquiry on Michigan Chief Justice Augustus Woodward’s territorial act of 1817\, establishing a “Catholepistemiad\, or University of Michigania.” Woodward harbored a dream of classifying all human knowledge and had discussed this with his friend and mentor Thomas Jefferson. His plan would remain a blueprint for the university until 1872\, when Henry Tappan became its first appointed president and instituted a German model of education more in line with the U-M we know today.\n\nWoodward’s handwritten list from the period outlined thirteen different professorships\, or “diaadaxiim\,” which followed an idiosyncratic system of classifications. He invented outlandish words for these\, mixing Greek and Latin\, resulting in alliterative designations such as Anthropoglossica (Literature)\, Physiosophica (Natural Philosophy)\, and Latrica (Medicine)\, to name a few.\n\nFor the Institute for the Humanities project\, Mark Dion imagines what objects would best represent these classifications and sets out to find them in the many departments and collections within the university. As he embarks upon this ambitious and idealistic quest\, the result is as much an expedition as a scavenger hunt\, in part Aristotle as well as Don Quixote. In a week’s time\, he locates a magpie\, a meteorite\, a celestial globe\, a flask\, a bugle\, and then a heart. \n\nEach artifact is reproduced using 3D rapid imaging technology at the U-M Duderstadt Center\, coated with phosphorescent paint\, and then exhibited in a manner suggestive of post-nuclear hallowed halls.\n\nBut first\, visitors to the gallery take a number\, are seated in a waiting room\, a carbon copy in itself. It is the familiar experience encountered in every institution\, at the dentist’s office\, or the DMV. We are waiting\, just waiting”¦for the extraordinary.\n\nMark Dion’s work considers scientific method and museum practice and their influence on our understanding of history\, the natural world\, and what we know to be true. His work questions the hard line between rational thought and unadulterated subjectivity. Although conceptual\, Dion’s projects serve as formal critiques\, examining the relationship between the human experience as we know it and the institutions\, museums\, and galleries that predetermine it.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pictures of Resistance: The Wartime Photographs of Jewish Partisan Faye Schulman
DESCRIPTION:The lives of WWII partisans depended on their ability to remain unseen\, undocumented and unidentifiable. But one fighter\, Faye Schulman\, had a camera. Schulman’s rare collection of images captures the camaraderie\, horror and loss\, bravery and triumph of the rag-tag\, tough partisans–some Jewish\, some not–who fought the Germans and their collaborators.\n\nSchulman\, the only known Jewish partisan photographer\, says of the exhibit\, “I want people to know that there was resistance. Jews did not go like sheep to the slaughter. I was a photographer. I have pictures. I have proof.”\n\nCo-sponsored by the University of Michigan Library and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies.\n\nThis exhibit was produced by the Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation and curated by Jill Vexler\, Ph.D. It was made possible by Thomas and Johanna Baruch\, the Epstein/Roth Foundation\, the Purjes Foundation\, the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation\, the Koret Foudnation\, the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life and culture\, the Holocaust Council of UJA MetroWest\, and Diane and Howard Wohl.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“What Should We Do with Benedict Arnold’s Gunboat?”
DESCRIPTION:In 1997 the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s Lake Survey team discovered Benedict Arnold's 1776 gondola\, intact and upright\, on the bottom of Lake Champlain. Spitfire was the last unaccounted-for vessel of the Battle of Valcour Island.\nArt Cohn\, archaeologist\, diver\, and co-founder and Senior Advisor and Special Projects Director for the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum will discuss the preservation challenges of this remarkable discovery. Cohn led the 10-year Lake Survey project\, which systematically mapped the Lake Champlain's lake floor\, finding more than 70 previously undiscovered shipwrecks.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The relationship between productivity and species richness is one of the most widely documented patterns in ecology and yet the mechanisms determining this pattern are not well understood.  Over the past decade\, Dr. Gross has been involved in research that has tried to address this question using 1) synthesis of data from nutrient addition experiments from a wide-range of ”˜grasslands’ across the USA and 2) experimental studies in low productivity grassland where the heterogeneity of nutrient additions was manipulated. These analyses have shown that while there is an overall negative impact of nutrient enrichment on species richness in grasslands\, the magnitude differs across communities and functional groups. Results from more recent analysis and a long-term field experiment reveal that the presence of species with specific growth form traits\, specifically rhizomatous clonal growth and height\, may be important in driving the magnitude of species diversity loss in grasslands. The ongoing goal is to determine why communities and species respond differently to nutrient addition and to use this to develop ways to maintain and conserve native plant diversity in grasslands being used for a variety of ecosystem services.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tom Chapin
DESCRIPTION:The younger brother of Harry Chapin and the son of renowned drummer Jim Chapin\, Tom Chapin has the knack of appealing equally to adults and children. He's one of very few artists who've garnered Grammy nominations in both categories. Tom's last few albums have had a good deal of political content. He'll likely be featuring work from his latest\, \"Broadsides: A Miscellany of Musical Opinon\,\" with such tracks as \"Econo-Me-Oh-My\" and \"Total Security Solutions\, Inc.\" along with Chapin favorites from his four-decade career. Tom's been honing his way with an audience ever since his days in New York State's 1960s folk scene\, and by now he's a tremendous storyteller as well as a continuously vital songwriter.
