SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Reconstructed Landscapes: Collage
DESCRIPTION:Ann Arbor artist Cheryl Dawdy received her BA from U-M and then dabbled in different media (printmaking\, weaving\, natural dyes) until discovering collage. She adores it for its spontaneity and perfect expression of her \"make it up as you go along\" approach to life.  Expectation invites disappointment\, she contends\, but an open mind offers unlimited potential. With that attitude\, she works with old postcards\, paper scraps\, and pieces of old wallpaper washed with acrylic paint\, creating landscape images some have described as \"wonderful little worlds you want to climb into\" and \"the stuff of dreams.\" Dawdy is also a singer for the Ann Arbor based musical performance group the Chenille Sisters.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Songs of the Birds: Airbrushed Acrylics
DESCRIPTION:Mixing science and art\, local artist Carol Hanna interprets the songs of birds using visual language that represents the color of the birds and the notes of their songs. The various stripe combinations of vibrating color in each painting represent each individual bird's measure of time or rhythm\, the pitch or frequency of its vibrations per second\, and the softness or loudness of its call. Hanna works with the U-M Biology Department to match each bird's exact color. Hanna has exhibited both locally and nationally\, and her works are in permanent collections at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the C. S. Mott Children's and Women's Hospital. She received both a BFA and an MA from Eastern Michigan University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sibande On Campus: Exhibit: ...of Prosperity (sculpture\, 2011)\, Sophie-Velucia (mixed media)\,murals\, and prints
DESCRIPTION:Rising young South African artist Mary Sibande constructs elaborate visual narratives to consider race\, gender\, and class in post-colonial South Africa. Rooted in her own family’s history of three generations of women as domestic servants\, Sibande’s larger-than-life figures clothed in yards of fabric confront the viewer with the stark limits of cultural heritage as well as the possibility of transformation. Sibande’s Ann Arbor fellowship includes an original installation at the U-M Institute for the Humanities gallery\, a Penny Stamps lecture\, an open studio at the Stamps School on North Campus\, and exhibition of Sibande’s existing work at Gallery DAAS\, the U-M Museum of Art\, and the Stamps School Slusser Gallery.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Julie Fairbanks\, assistant professor of anthropology\, Coe College. Sponsors: CREES\, Eurasia Collective.\n\nThis presentation will explore the ways Adygs (also identifying themselves as Adygei\, Cherkes and Kabardians) have evaluated tradition\, embodied in a code of etiquette called adyge khabze and a related ethical framework\, adygaghe\, following the demise of the Soviet Union. Drawing on reflections and writings\, the talk will analyze images of society\, of adyge khabze\, and of adygaghe that appear in these sources. The images depict an Adyg society\, often from the remembered or the more distant past\, governed by its own norms.  At the same time\, these portraits and the broader discourse on etiquette and ethics reflect Adygs’ encounters with other sources of authority. The visions call Adygs to identify with the community and its traditions\, accepting the obligations of communal membership\, while also inviting outsiders to appreciate this society.\n\nJulie Fairbanks is assistant professor of anthropology at Coe College. She earned a B.S. in Russian and French from Georgetown University\, an M.A. in Regional Studies from Harvard University\, and a Ph.D. from Indiana University. Fairbanks taught at the University of Akron before accepting her current position at Coe. Her research\, focused on the Caucasus\, concerns historical memory\, tradition\, identity\, and sense of place.

DESCRIPTION:Announcing the first seminar of our CBSSM Fall 2013 seminar series:\n\nOptimizing Physician-Parent Communication: How to Avoid Making Healthy Children Sick\n \nBeth Tarini\, MD\, MS\n\nSummary: The goal of healthcare providers should be to make the sick healthy and not the healthy sick.  Sometimes healthcare providers inadvertently do the latter.  To illustrate this phenomenon\, Dr. Tarini will present results from a recent study about how physician's use of labels can affect parents' healthcare beliefs about their children.\n\nDr. Tarini is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases.\n\nYou can find the complete list of CBSSM seminars on the CBSSM website.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Ceren Ozgul\, Manoogian Post-doctoral Fellow\, U-M. Sponsors: ASP\, CMENAS\, Department of Anthropology.\n\nStarting in the early 1990s\, many Turkish citizens who were officially registered as Muslims\, have claimed Armenian descent and sought the arbitration of Turkish mid-level courts to register themselves as Christians and adopt Armenian names. Regardless of how smoothly these legal claims may be working procedurally after legal reforms related to the EU accession process\, the Armenianness of those seeking conversion is something to be yet proven to Turkish legal authorities\, the Armenian Patriarchate\, the Turkish public\, and the Armenian minority in Turkey. \n\nThese recent claims to Armenianness raise several questions: “Who is an Armenian?” “Who decides who is an Armenian?” “What is the definition of religious conversion in Turkey?” “What qualifies one as a convert or return convert?” These questions have ambiguous and conflicting answers revealing that the definitions of Armenianness–legal\, religious\, genealogical\, and cultural–are elusive and uncertain. This lecture tackles these questions from multiple\, shifting angles and offers ethnographic perspectives to the primary question of the ways in which religious minorities are defined legally\, historically\, and politically in Turkey. These return conversions provide a unique vantage point on the contested nature of religious and legal identities in Turkey\, coupled with the historically fragile separation between religion\, ethnicity\, and citizenship in secular nation-states in general.\nCeren Ozgul received her Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from City University of New York\, Graduate Center. Her dissertation\, “From Muslim Citizen to Christian Minority: Tolerance\, Secularism\, and Armenian Return Conversions in Turkey\,” analyzes the return conversions of forcibly Islamized Armenians in modern Turkey back to Armenian Christianity. Her postdoctoral research expands on her dissertation research to further study forcefully Islamized Armenians’ strategies to navigate questions of ethnicity and religion within the larger formations of the discourse of tolerance in Turkey. As a Manoogian Simone Foundation Post-doctoral Fellow\, she is teaching a course on the anthropological\, legal\, and political genealogies of the concept of tolerance with a historical and contemporary focus.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Event \"Poetics of Indentity\"
DESCRIPTION:This event brings together two of Japan’s most important and influential poets for an afternoon of bilingual readings and discussion about the relationship between language and identity. Ito and Takahashi will read from their works and discuss them in Japanese\, with translation provided by Jeffrey Angles.\n\nBiographies:\n\nSince first attracting the attention of the Japanese literary world with his bold poetic evocations of homoerotic desire\, Mutsuo Takahashi (b. 1937) has published over three dozen anthologies of poetry and countless volumes of poetry and literary criticism\, earning him a position as one of Japan’s most influential poets. Five anthologies of his poetry are available in English translation\, including his infamous and iconoclastic Poems of a Penisist (Reprinted by University of Minnesota Press\, 2012)\, which became a favorite work of Allen Ginsberg and created waves in the United States. His memoirs\, Twelve Views from the Distance were published by University of Minnesota Press in late 2012. Takahashi presently lives in the seaside city of Zushi\, ten kilometers to the south of Yokohama.\n\nIn the 1970s\, Ito Hiromi (b. 1955) burst onto the poetic scene\, writing about feminine sexual desire\, pregnancy\, and abortion with a directness that shocked some and made her a hero to others. She quickly became the foremost voice of the wave of “women’s poetry” that swept Japan and was anthologized in every major collection of contemporary poetry. In 1997\, she settled in California with her daughters\, and since then\, much of her work focuses on the experience of being a transnational migrant living and working in a second-language environment. She has won many important Japanese literary prizes and lives outside of San Diego. Her work has been translated in Killing Kanoko: Selected Poems of Hiromi Ito (Action Books\, 2009) and the forthcoming volume\, Wild Grass on the Riverbank (Action Books\, 2013).\n\nJeffrey Angles (b. 1971) lives in Michigan\, where he is an Associate Professor of Japanese Literature at Western Michigan University. He is the author of Writing the Love of Boys (University of Minnesota Press\, 2011) and an award-winning translator who has translated dozens of Japan’s most important modern writers\, including Mutsuo Takahashi and Hiromi Ito.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Peter Sinclair / Erb Institute Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by: Erb Institute\, Michigan League of Conservation Voters\, Sierra Club\, Michigan Environmental Council\, and Ecology Center\n\nThis event will showcase Peter’s creative use of social media on climate change communication and connect the Institute more closely with the local environmental community. A primary obstacle climate scientists face in educating the public and decision makers on the realities of global warming\, is the well funded\, well organized and coordinated effort of climate denialists on the internet.\n\nOne of the most effective social media initiatives to push back against climate denialism has been Peter Sinclair’s “Climate Denial Crock of the Week“\, the YouTube series that confronts and calls out climate deniers\, deftly dissecting fossil funded disinformation and propaganda.  Mr. Sinclair is now producing a companion series\, “This is Not Cool”\, through The Yale Forum on Climate Change and the Media.  Hailed by Scientists and Journalists around the world\, Sinclair’s videos have been among the clearest\, most passionate\, most effective and searingly funny counterattacks on the anti-science movement. In July of 2013\, he traveled with a scientific team to the Greenland ice sheet as part of the “Dark Snow Project”\, documented in Rolling Stone magazine.\n\nNow there is a new challenge. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will release it’s Fifth Assessment Report on global warming science in September\, 2013. The climate denial noise machine is already mounting attacks to confuse the media and smear the scientific community.  A broad based\, well informed citizen-science defense of truth and fact is needed to keep climate deniers from fogging the issues yet again.\n\nCome see a presentation of what’s working in climate communication\, and join in the effort to push back against the tide of disinformation that is threatening our children’s future\, and civilization itself.  Mr. Sinclair will illustrate the science with video clips\, discuss what works\, and what doesn’t in climate communication\, and relate stories from the media wars that have shaped coverage of the most important issue of the millennium.\n\n“The sharpest climate denier debunker on YouTube.” - TreeHugger\n“The most important videographer on the planet” - Daily Kos\n“Our Favorite Climate de-Crocker” - Joe Romm\, Climate Progress

SUMMARY:Performance:Good Lovelies
DESCRIPTION:The Good Lovelies are not your run-of-the-mill \"all-girl\" band. At a time when too many of us are affected by gloom\, doom\, and sequestration\, these three women are the perfect antidote. Recent winners of a Juno award for Roots Album of the Year and the New Emerging Artist Award from the Canadian Folk Music Awards\, the Good Lovelies are making waves across Canada and now beyond. Aptly named\, the Good Lovelies are Caroline Brooks\, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore\, all of them best friends and refugees from solo careers. They make up a folk-roots and western swing trio\, based in Toronto\, that relies on unerring three-part vocal harmonies\, clever songs\, and often convulsively funny repartee. They come to Michigan with a new release\, \"Live at Revolution.\"\n
