SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The Shah of Iran and Understanding the Present Regime’s Animosity Towards the Great Satan (the U.S.)

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:EEB Seminar Series - Special Day!
DESCRIPTION:Recent studies suggest that climatic changes can disrupt predator communities\, and may lead to increased pest outbreaks in agricultural fields. Understanding these effects necessitates a mechanistic understanding of both\, predator diversity on prey suppression\, and the eco-evolutionary response of communities to climatic changes. To compare patterns of predation between simple and diverse communities of aphid predators Dr Tobin used an experimental response-surface design\, varying intra- and interspecific predator densities. By statistically fitting mechanistic models to the data\, he demonstrated that resource partitioning rather than facilitation better explains the observed differences in resource use between simple and diverse predator communities. This model-fitting approach also allowed him to quantify overlap in resource use by the different predator species. Dr Tobin then theoretically explored the effects of climate change on interacting species. Predicting the consequences of interspecific interactions is complicated by coevolution between species. Therefore\, he used simple models to organize and synthesize the ways coevolution modifies species coexistence when climatic changes favour one species over another. In cases where species have conflicting interests\, he shows that coevolution reduces the effects of climate change\, leading to reduced chances of extinction. Conversely\, when species have non-conflicting interests\, coevolution increases the effects of climate change\, increasing extinction risk. Thus\, coevolution sets up feedback loops that either dampen or amplify the effect of climate change on species extinctions\, depending on the form that coevolution takes between species. Dr Tobin discusses these results in light of natural pest control in agroecosystems and potential future research evaluating the potential for sustainable food production in a changing climate.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Kathleen McNamara\, associate professor of government and foreign service and director\, Mortara Center for International Studies\, Georgetown University.\n\nAs the eurozone crisis drags on\, its severity has raised questions about the viability of the entire European Union. What are the roots of the crisis? Disarray within the eurozone is not fundamentally about debts\, deficits\, or banking crises. Instead\, it is a political crisis. Investigating the history of single currencies helps illuminate the obstacles ahead\, and the transformations needed to secure Europe’s future.\n\nKathleen R. McNamara is an associate professor of government and foreign service and director of the Mortara Center for International Studies at Georgetown University. She is an expert on the politics of international economic relations\, specializing in the European Union\, the euro\, and the European Central Bank. She is the author of The Currency of Ideas: Monetary Politics in the European Union (Cornell University Press\, 1998)\, co-editor of Making History: European Integration and Institution Change at Fifty (Oxford University Press\, 2007)\, and has published numerous essays on globalization\, economic institutions\, and the role of norms and culture in policymaking. Her current book project\, entitled “Imagining Europe\,” investigates the social construction of political authority in the European Union\, through the use of culture\, symbols\, and practice. Dr. McNamara has taught at Princeton University and Sciences Po (Paris)\, and has been a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation\, a German Marshall Fund Fellow\, and a Fulbright Fellow. She is a participant in a variety of government and NGO policy groups\, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations\, and an executive board member of the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control. She received her PhD from Columbia University and her BA from McGill University.\n\nPart of the European Economic Crisis and its Political Dimensions\, a lecture series jointly sponsored by CES and WCED\, and made possible by a generous donation from Michael Kojaian. Invited speakers will focus on the economic underpinnings of the crisis and its implications for governance\, democracy\, and civil society.

SUMMARY:Performance:Shawn Mullins
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary songwriting from the New South\n\nAtlanta singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins has had major adult alternative radio hits with \"Lullaby and \"Beautiful Wreck\,\" and he recently co-wrote the great country number-one \"Toes\"–the perfect song for when the weather in Michigan is turning ugly. Shawn writes introspective original songs in an Americana framework that sound great either solo or with a band. He's been called Jewel with a Y chromosome\, and he's looking like he's going to match her career staying power. Shawn's music is overflowing with perfect rhymes\, telling detail and underlying glimpses of truth. This is uncommonly literate stuff\, striking in its insightfulness and compassion\, all delivered by Mullins in a companionable baritone. Shawn Mullins is something of an undiscovered treasure of Southern songwriting.
