The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n UID:15605-1195207@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15605 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:reproductive health,reproductive justice,visual arts,women,women's health LOCATION:Lane Hall - Lane Hall Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140113T135919 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140129T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140129T233000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Maps and Mapmaking in India DESCRIPTION:The Stephen S.

Her early background\, in painting and printmaking and later a BFA in fibers from St. Mary's College in Notre Dame\, Indiana\, has fostered a unique perspective on working with clay. In this recent body of work\, she continues to follow her interest in the leaf as an iconic motif and incorporates these explorations in a new group of pieces combining round reed basketry and stoneware. Sutherland Barnes recently returned to her home state of Michigan after twenty years away and now maintains a clay and fibers studio in Paw Paw\, Michigan.

She finds her garden the perfect place to experience the natural world on a daily basis and believes that a connection with this world is critically important in our urban lives. She creates a surreal visual world based upon an exploration of light\, color\, texture and scale. These superbly sharp and sensuously soft images challenge us to reimagine our natural world.

The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux. She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

Inspired by the natural beauty of the American West\, this collection of images is a celebration of light in its many forms: from radiant sunrises to the soft magic of sunset\, from light beams breaking through storm clouds to the diffused light of a forest. Kozlowski’s landscape photography is typically characterized by attention to light\, color\, composition and sharp detail. Her goal is to inspire others to seek out open spaces and new vistas in the natural world.

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.

A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

The basis of the project is a large collection of 18th and 19th century books on the picturesque held in the University of Michigan Library special collections\, which are rarely available for public view and have not had a prominent place in teaching or scholarship in the Department of Architecture. The exhibition will include 15-20 manuscripts\, a series of printed\, enlarged reproductions of drawings in the manuscripts to show detail and technique\, and a series of large-format drawings that interpret and analyze the historical source material. It will be accompanied by a colloquium with visiting scholars. Assistant Professor Andrew Holder organized the exhibition and designed the installation.\n\nSponsored by The Guido A.

Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n UID:15834-1196410@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15834 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture LOCATION:Ruthven Museums Building - Rotunda CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140115T132655 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140129T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140129T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Other Camera: An Exhibit Curated by Paul Weinberg DESCRIPTION:The Other Camera explores the world from the standpoint of participatory\, and community photographers.

It explores how penal politics in the post-socialist period has devolved into a form of penal nationalism\, premised on the national criminalization of the other. The political use of Romani crime is a uniting force among these countries. The Roma are presumed to commit most crime\; they are thought to reject common national values and norms\; and they are said to be most transgressive. They remain the cultural icon of criminality\, worthy of their own term in Hungarian\, “gypsycriminality” in one word (ciganybunözés). Like other nationalist gestures\, the concept of “gypsycriminality” gains power from its mythical nature\; this power is made even stronger by restrictions on collecting empirical data on the race/ethnicity of criminal defendants and offenders. In this way\, the paper outlines how penal nationalism evokes an extreme politics of exclusion–a politics that treats perceived differences through confinement\, while insisting on a hierarchical version of social and cultural inclusion. The political uses of Roma crime thus become a way to explore the form and focus\, as well as the preoccupations and anxieties\, of penal nationalism in Central Europe.\n\nLynne Haney\, professor of sociology at New York University\, has conducted research on the welfare and penal systems in both the U.S. and Eastern Europe. Her most recent book\, Offending Women: Power\, Punishment\, and the Regulation of Desire (California 2010)\, is a historical ethnography of two California prisons for mothers. She is also the author of Inventing the Needy: Gender and the Politics of Welfare in Hungary (California 2002) and the co-author of The Sociology Project (Pearson 2011) and Global Ethnography: Forces\, Connections\, and Imaginations in a Postmodern World (California 2000). She is the co-editor of Families of a New World: Gender\, Politics\, and State Development in a Global Context (Routlege 2003). She is currently completing a book on the politics of punishment in post-socialist Eastern Europe and has begun new research that examines the penal state’s construction of fatherhood through a comparative and historical study of the penalization of child support.\n\nSponsors: CREES\, WCED\n\nPart of the series Pluralism in Politics and Culture\, a new initiative jointly sponsored by CREES and WCED that examines the foundations of free and open societies. The project builds on the university’s rich legacy of study and support of the dissident culture in the former Soviet Union and on several existing efforts at U-M. The series focuses on multiple facets of political pluralism\, including its legal\, cultural\, and economic dimensions\, and explore them in a broader historical context.

Without the full participation of minority groups in medical research\, it is difficult to assess the effectiveness of therapies across populations and to evaluate disparities in non-medical factors that may impact how patients develop and manage health conditions. In this talk\, I will share results from my dissertation research. In study 1\, I examined the willingness of African Americans to participate in a future clinical trial. In study 2\, I examined racial/ethnic differences in clinical trial enrollment\, refusal\, ineligibility\, and desire to participate in medical research among cancer patients in the National Cancer Institute’s Community Cancer Centers Program. In study 3\, I examined enrollment into the U-M Clinical Studies Registry among African Americans. \n\nMy overaching hypothesis is that medical mistrust and knowledge of the US Public Health Service Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male are not the underlying drivers of low minority participation in clinical trials. Instead\, I suggest that African Americans are willing to participate and will enroll in clinical trials at rates equivalent to other racial and ethnic groups when explicitly invited and given the opportunity. \n UID:16120-1197084@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16120 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:medical research,minority health,public health LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex - Building 16, Conference Room 266C CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131113T095955 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140129T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140129T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Others\, Brothers: Iraqi Jews and the Iraqi State\, 1864-1951 DESCRIPTION: UID:15525-1194982@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15525 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:jewish studies LOCATION:202 S.
