SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bowling\, Burgers & Dogs: Digital Color Photography
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n1500 E.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Campus Sexual Assault Policy Conference: Problems and Progress
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women and our partners announce Campus Sexual Assault Policy: Problems and Progress\, a two-day conference to take place on October 25-26\, 2012 at the UM North Campus Research Complex. In the context of the April 2011 “Dear Colleague Letter” issued as guidance by the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights\, this conference aims to bring together institutional policy makers and community-based sexual assault response professionals to discuss and develop policies addressing student sexual misconduct under Title IX. The conference is designed so that research and promising practices presentations on Day One will inform policy design workshops and policy recommendations on Day Two.\n\nWe are pleased to announce that John DiPaolo\, Chief of Staff of the Office for Civil Rights\, will participate in the conference.\n\nCampus Sexual Assault Policy: Problems and Progress will focus on not only the impact of the Dear Colleague Letter but also the intersection of diversity with campus policy development. We will explore cultural considerations in policy development and the impact of both campus sexual assault and the policies designed to address sexual violence on diverse survivors.\n\nCampus Sexual Assault Policy: Problems and Progress is supported by a grant from the University of Michigan National Center for Institutional Diversity. Additional sponsors include\, at UM\, the Center for the Education of Women\, the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Abuse Hurts\, the Division of Student Affairs\, the Office of Student Conflict Resolution\, the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center\, the Office of the Vice President and General Counsel\, the Office of Institutional Equity\, the Women’s Studies Department\, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, the SHARP Center for Women and Girls\, the School of Social Work\, and the Gerald R.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Canan Tolon Installation: Time After Time
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nUpon 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.\n\nThen\, 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\n\nThis 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. \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:African Art and the Shape of Time
DESCRIPTION: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.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support provided by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire 
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nGenerous 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).\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovering Eighteenth-Century British America through the William L. Clements Library Collection
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jesper Just: \"This Nameless Spectacle\"
DESCRIPTION: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.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:(FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) March 11\, 2011 unleashed an unprecedented set of disasters in Northeast Japan (Tohoku): an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 centered off the Sanriku coast\; a tsunami of stunning height and destruction\; and a crippled nuclear reactor (Fukushima Dai-ichi). Understanding the enormity of these events\, from the immediate moment through the protracted reflections\, debates\, and reconstruction since March 11\, and evaluating the potential fundamental restructuring of the Tohoku region and Japanese society as a whole\, presents major challenges to foreign scholars and observers. How has digital information available in real time – unlike Haiti\, Banda Aceh\, or New Orleans – altered the experience of and response to disaster?

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Two-Day Workshop on Disability and Multi-Sensory Translation:Blind Field Walk with Carmen Papalia
DESCRIPTION:The Blind Field walking tour is a nonvisual service in which Portland-based artist Carmen Papalia transports groups of people to and from given locations: university campuses\, art galleries\, restaurants and so on\, from his vantage point as a person with a visual impairment. Participants will form a line behind Papalia and keep their eyes closed for the duration of the walking tour\, an element that requires an exchange of trust. This is not a simulation exercise: there is no sense that participants enter into an experience of blind space. Rather\, the trip culminates in a group discussion about the experience. As participants traverse familiar landscapes nonvisually\, they become aware of their sensory perceptions and the many ways in which one can experience and explore space.\n\nIn the second half of this event\, the workshop team will encourage participants to give non-visual tours of exhibits in UMMA: one person with eyes closed is led by one with eyes open\, who describes the art works the couple encounters. What new museum experiences emerge in these forms of engagement with public space\, disability’s difference\, translation\, and the poetics of art?\n\nCarmen Papalia is an MFA student in Social Practice at Portland State University. He is editor of Memewar magazine. Selections of his work can be found in Sub-terrain\, The Capilano Courier\, The Liar\, and in Memewar. He is currently working on \"Pocket Vision\,\" a text that explores his own degenerating vision.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series as part of the Rackham Centennial Lectures
DESCRIPTION:A synthesis of work on the evolutionary origins of biodiversity\, on the impacts of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning and on mechanisms of multi-species coexistence  suggests a simple unifying hypothesis:  that the same interspecific tradeoffs that lead to speciation also cause species to coexist\, and cause a strong dependence of ecosystem functioning on biodiversity. This “Universal Tradeoff Hypothesis” suggests a surprisingly tight linkage among evolutionary\, population and ecosystem processes.  It also suggests that the loss of biodiversity\, whether from species extinctions\, community simplification\, or loss of genetic variation within populations\, can have serious implications for global environmental sustainability.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies Thursday Speakers Series
DESCRIPTION:Mrinalini Sinha\, University of Michigan\n\nLecture Abstract: This talk offers a series of reflections on the challenges and limits of contemporary frameworks of global history through a detailed study of the movement for the abolition of indenture. The abolition of the indentured labor system\, which had been put in place in the aftermath of Atlantic slavery to substitute emancipated African slaves with indentured Indians on colonial plantations overseas\, provides a challenge for existing global historical frameworks that tend to privilege space over time. This talk makes the case for a return to the “temporal\,” through an exploration of the concept of an “interregnum\,” to understand the much-neglected movement for the abolition of indenture or what following the abolition of Atlantic slavery has been called the “second abolition.”

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rackham Centennial Alumni Lecture: Bill Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:SNRE alumnus Bill Sullivan (Ph.D. '91) returns to campus to give a Rackham Centennial Alumni Lecture Oct. 25 in the Dana Building. Sullivan earned his doctoral degree in Landscape Architecture at the University of Michigan\, and is a professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.\n\nThe U-M Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies is organizing the Rackham Centennial Alumni Lectures as part of its 100th anniversary celebration in 2012. The Rackham Centennial Alumni Lectures showcase the intellectual legacy of the university’s graduate community.\n\nAbstract: Rising Above the Tide\n\nThese are incredibly demanding times for those of us working on the environment. Although the intellectual challenges we face are enormous and the consequences profound\, the resources necessary to meet these challenges are too often scant. How can we be effective under such conditions? How\, with shrinking resources and increasing demands on our time and attention\, can we produce scholarship that contributes to positive change? In this talk I’ll suggest two ways forward\, drawing on recent theoretical and experimental work on healthy environments and on my teaching experiences. First\, I’ll address strategies for increasing the chances that our minds are clear and our spirits ready to handle the tasks at hand. Second\, I’ll propose we apply our energies to strategic\, high-impact activities that directly impact those spheres in which we seek to make a difference.\n\nMore: http://www.snre.umich.edu/news/08-16-2012/la_alumnus_sullivan_returns_to_give_rackham_centennial_lecture\n\nMore about the Rackham Centennial Lecture: http://www.rackham.umich.edu/centennial/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rackham Centennial Alumni Lecture: Lou Rosenfeld
DESCRIPTION:School of Information alumnus Lou Rosenfeld (MILS ’90) will represent his alma mater with a presentation on \"Beyond User Research\" as part of the Rackham Centennial Alumni Lecture Series.\n\nRosenfeld is regarded as one of the founding figures of information architecture\, which is the design and organization of websites\, intranets\, online communities\, and software to support usability. With fellow U-M alumnus Peter Morville\, he authored the seminal text on the subject\, Information Architecture for the World Wide Web (aka \"The Polar Bear book\")\, in 1998.\n\nAs user research becomes firmly established in organizations around the world\, \"it's tempting to congratulate ourselves and retreat to our shiny new labs\,” says Rosenfeld. “But our work is nowhere near complete.” He contends that as currently practiced\, user research remains narrow in focus\, often limited to the methods and tools that reflect one’s own educational biases\, and approaches that fit within people’s comfort zones.\n\nRosenfeld examines how other research practices\, such as web analytics\, business analytics\, and market research\, provide powerful ways of learning about users' wants and needs. “More importantly\, they're often complementary with what we do\,” he said. “When we synthesize the methods that tell us what is going on\, combined with methods that tell us why\, only then does user research unveil true insight.”\n\nRosenfeld is principal of Louis Rosenfeld LLC\, an information architecture consultancy. He founded Rosenfeld Media\, a user experience publishing house\, in late 2005.\n\nThe Centennial Lectures showcase the diversity and quality of the intellectual legacy of the University’s graduates. Over 60 graduate programs will host a Centennial Lecture delivered by graduate alumni in October 2012. A reception follows the lecture at 5:30 p.m. in the University Club room of the Michigan Union.\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:America’s Political Dysfunction: Will the Elections Change it?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion as Ira Shapiro presents his book\, The Last Great Senate: Courage and Statesmanship in Times of Crisis\, a sharply focused account of the achievements and bi-partisanship of the US Senate during the 1960s and 1970s. The book is a vivid portrait of the statesmen who helped steer America during the crisis years of the late 1970s\, overcoming procedural roadblocks that have all but strangled the Senate since their departure. \n\nA senior Senate aide who brokered legislative compromises among leading Democrats and Republicans\, Ira Shapiro provides an ideal lens through which to view the current political stagnation in Washington\, and ultimately to give us some hope that there could be another great Senate.\n\nOpen Seating\; Free Admission\; Book sales/signing and reception follow program.\n
