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 Pierced Porcelain
DESCRIPTION:In this current body of work\, Kate Tremel is interested in taking a fresh look at traditional pottery forms within a functional context. She has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Stitched Impressions: Art Quilts
DESCRIPTION:Textile artist Carole Harris is a Detroit native. Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Art of Storytelling: Fabric Appliqué
DESCRIPTION:Chris Roberts-Antieau’s work is about the mysterious origin of joy and the wonder of childhood. To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Using Information Disclosure to Achieve Policy Goals
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public.\n\nPanel Speakers:\n\nMichael E. Kraft\, Professor of Political Science and Public Affairs Emeritus\, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay\n\nChristopher Borick\, Director\, Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion \n\nModerator:\nBarry Rabe\, Director\, Center for Local\, State and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\n\nAbout the presentation:\n\nThe federal Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is the premier national example of a non-regulatory environmental policy\, and it illustrates well both the potential and limitations of using information disclosure to achieve policy goals. The TRI was adopted in 1986 as an amendment to the federal Superfund law\, and since 1988 we have had annual reports on the release of over 650 toxic chemicals by some 20\,000 industrial facilities around the nation. By most accounts\, the disclosure of this information has had a remarkable impact on environmental performance of industry\, with over a 60 percent decrease over time in the release of toxic chemicals by those facilities governed by the law. However\, in our book Coming Clean: Information Disclosure and Environmental Performance (MIT Press 2011\, written with Mark Stephan and Troy D. Abel)\, we found that facility performance varied widely\, with some facilities significantly decreasing their release of chemicals and also the risk associated with chemical releases while others moved in the opposite direction. We sought to learn more about the potential for reliance on information disclosure as a policy strategy and also its limitations. This presentation summarizes the findings of Coming Clean\, and applies the lessons of the TRI program to the emerging concern over natural gas fracking. How might the disclosure of information about use of chemicals during the fracking process and their health and environmental risks alert the public and policymakers to important aspects of the process and guide development of local\, state\, and federal policy on fracking? What is the best way to design such an information disclosure policy so that it can succeed in educating the public about those risks while not imposing excessive or unreasonable burdens on industry? \n\nAbout the presenters:\n\nMichael E. Kraft is Professor of Political Science and Public Affairs Emeritus and Herbert Fisk Johnson Professor of Environmental Studies Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. He completed his undergraduate work at the University of California\, Riverside\, and he received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Political Science from Yale University.  From 1977 to 2013 he taught at UW-Green Bay\, where he offered courses on environmental politics and policy\, public policy analysis\, Congress\, and environmental science and policy. He continues to teach part time in a new online Sustainable Management master’s program in the UW System. He also has held visiting faculty appointments at Oberlin College and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.\nAmong other works\, he is author of Environmental Policy and Politics (6th ed.\, Pearson Longman in press for 2014 release)\; co-author of Coming Clean: Information Disclosure and Environmental Performance (MIT Press 2011)\, co-author of Public Policy: Politics\, Analysis\, and Alternatives (CQ Press\, 4th edition\, 2013)\; and co-editor and contributing author of Environmental Policy (CQ Press\, 8th ed.\, 2013)\; The Oxford Handbook of U.S. Environmental Policy (2013)\; Business and Environmental Policy (MIT Press\, 2007)\; Toward Sustainable Communities: Transition and Transformations in Environmental Policy (MIT Press\, 2nd ed. 2009)\; and Public Reactions to Nuclear Waste: Citizens' Views of Repository Siting (Duke University Press\, 1993). He also serves as co-editor (with Sheldon Kamieniecki) of a book series\, American and Comparative Environmental Policy\, at MIT Press.  \nKraft’s research interests focus on U.S. environmental policy and politics\, and his most recent project dealt with the impact of information disclosure programs on corporate environmental performance in the United States. It used the federal Toxics Release Inventory program to examine trends in toxic chemical releases and risk reduction at some 10\,000 industrial facilities nationwide and the reasons for variation among firms\, communities\, and states.  This research was funded by the National Science Foundation and was the focus of the book\, Coming Clean\, co-authored with Mark Stephan and Troy Abel\; the book won the 2012 Lynton K. Caldwell Award from the American Political Science Association.\n\n\nChristopher P. Borick is a Professor of Political Science and Director of the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion. Borick is the co-director of the National Surveys on Energy and Environment\, conducted in collaboration with the Ford School.  He is a nationally recognized public opinion researcher who has conducted over 250 large-scale public opinion surveys during the past fifteen years.  The results of these surveys have appeared in numerous periodicals including Time Magazine\, The Wall St Journal\, New York Times\, Los Angeles Times and Washington Post.  He has also provided analysis for the BBC\, National Public Radio\, PBS\, CBS News and NBC Nightly News and had his survey results aired on CNN\, FOX News and C-Span.  Borick has published and presented over thirty articles and four books in the area of public policy and public opinion.  He has won numerous teaching awards during his career\, most recently receiving The Lindback Distinguished Teaching Award at Muhlenberg College in 2006.\n\nBarry Rabe is Director of the Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\, and the J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Professor of Public Policy in the Ford School and is also an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor. He is also a non-resident senior fellow in the Governance Studies Program at the Brookings Institution and a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration.  Rabe has received three research awards from the American Political Science Association\, including the 2007 Daniel Elazar Award for Career Contributions to the Study of Federalism.   Rabe recently served on the National Research Council Committee on Risk Management and Governance Issues in Shale Gas Development.\n\n\nSponsored by: \nUniversity of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\n\nContact Information:  (734) 647-4091\;  closup@umich.edu \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chinese Now : Contemporary Portraits 
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute and Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan host an art exhibition \"Chinese Now: Contemporary Portraits\" presented by 31 faculty members from the School of Arts\, Renmin University of China. Professor TANG Keyang (Associate Professor\, School of Arts\, \nRenmin University of China) succinctly explains what this exhibition tries to accomplish. \"In this exhibition\, the people of China are brought to life in the vision of the artists. Freed from the limitations of a single concept\, style\, image\, or form\, the only thing the Chinese people represented here have in common is a disregard for the stereotypes long associated with them. The concern of this exhibition is in establishing the cultural sensibilities of contemporary China\, just as different peoples\, at different times\, have engaged art as a vital social response to the movement of history. As Professor Leo Ou-fan Lee has noted\, engagement with these cultural sensibilities allows an audience to grasp “certain core feelings\, the stuff which moves us” so inherent in the drama of life. In presenting this exhibition\, the hope is that an understanding of these core feelings will form the basis for meaningful intercultural dialogue.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Yuson Jung\, assistant professor of anthropology\, Wayne State University.\n\nIn this lecture\, Jung will discuss Bulgarian consumers’ discourses and practices of organic foods by examining the tension and contradictory perspectives regarding the consumption of certified organic foods. While Bulgaria became the country with the strictest regulations against GMO farming in the EU thanks to the strong support for organic and sustainable agriculture by Bulgarian consumers\, certified organic foods are not popular. Many consumers express skepticism in the regulatory process of certification and question the authority of those who do the certifying. Although Bulgarians consider themselves as strong advocates for organically produced foods\, they are less inclined to purchase certified organics. At the same time\, however\, they also insist that they buy organic foods whenever possible. This ambivalence and seeming contradictions are informed by the historical experiences of state socialism and postsocialist transitions that have shaped the moral and ethical framework of these consumers. The role of the state\, as well as the relationship to the state that consumers have cultivated\, are important to understand the issues of ethical foods and food movements in contemporary Bulgaria.\n\nYuson Jung is assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at Wayne State University. Her research explores issues of consumption\, food\, globalization\, postsocialism\, and European integration. She is completing a book manuscript Balkan Blues: Everyday Consumption and the Poverty of the State based on ethnographic fieldwork in Bulgaria\, and has been studying the cultural politics of wine to examine the intersection of global food politics and transnational governance from the perspectives of Bulgarian wine producers. Her work has appeared in Anthropological Quarterly\, Anthropological Journal of European Cultures\, Food\, Culture\, and Society\, and as chapters in several edited volumes (Wine and Culture\, eds. R. Black and R. Ulin\, Bloomsbury\, 2013\; Food and Everyday Life in the Post-Socialist World\, ed. M. Caldwell\, Indiana University Press\, 2009). She has also co-edited Ethical Eating in the Postsocialist and Socialist Worlds (with J. Klein and M. Caldwell\, University of California Press\, forthcoming 2014). Most recently\, she has started a new collaborative research project (with Andrew Newman) entitled “Just Food for Detroit: Groceries\, Ethics\, and Governance in the Resilient City” which examines urban food politics and the controversy related to the arrival of the Whole Foods Market in the city.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Darkness Visible: Gender\, Genre and Cinematic Madness
DESCRIPTION:Feminist film scholars have long argued that neither narrative nor visual structuring\, individually or together\, yields a homogenous experience for viewers.  Yet\, more often than not\, it is the look of\, and structures for looking at\, the image that grounds viewers’ fascination with bodies.  This brownbag presentation discusses the power of the look in the construction of one such body–the ”˜mad’ body.  Part of a larger project on cinematic madness\, genre and spectatorship\, this discussion takes up the look of madness configured as mental illness in mid- to late-twentieth century US and British films\, including Nunnally Johnson’s \"The Three Faces Eve\" (US\, 1957).  In this film\, Johnson adapts the markers of both the written case history and the subsequent instructional medical documentary to the temporal and spatial conventions of classical Hollywood cinema.  While such genre adaptation risks re-inscribing dominant social norms and discourses\, the visual look of the film–and the viewer’s desire for Eve’s body–work to rupture disciplinary power relations.  I suggest the same affective logic undergirds the look of other films centered on mental illness across genres.  Film clips will be included in this presentation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series: \"Reading Volcano Island: Reflections on Jeju 4.3 on its Sixty-Fifth Year\"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Sonia Ryang tries to visit\, intellectually\, her ancestral home\, Jeju Island\, of South Korea. On April 3\, 1948\, sporadic uprisings began on the island in opposition to the South-only election that was scheduled for May 10. Things worsened and massive suppression ensued\, resulting in hundreds and thousands of casualties. By using “Volcano Island” written by Kim Seok-beom\, a Korean writer in Japan who originated from Jeju\, as a text of inquiry\, Sonia Ryang discusses the absense of proper language to capture the Jeju 4.3 Uprising of 1948 and subsequent atrocities on the island.\n\nSonia Ryang is a Professor of Anthropology and International Studies and Stanley Family and Korea Foundation Chair of Korean Studies in the University of Iowa. She currently serves as the Director of Academics in the International Programs. As a social anthropologist (PhD Cambridge) Ryang is the author of a number of books including\, most recently\, Reading North Korea: An Ethnological inquiry (2012\, Harvard). Her forthcoming book is entitled Eating Korean: A Gastronomic Ethnography of Authenticity (Hawaii).
