SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. 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

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:Exhibit: Plainly Spoken
DESCRIPTION:View a range of binding ideas that came to fruition: models that replicate books from a historical period\, cut-aways that visually reveal their hidden structure\, design bindings that interpret a concept from the text\, and artists’ bindings that play with structures and materials to create something new.\n\nIn this traveling exhibit the Midwest Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers showcases archivist and book conservator Julia Miller’s text Books Will Speak Plain.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Peer Instruction: Confessions of a Converted Lecturer (Eric Mazur\, Harvard University)
DESCRIPTION:I thought I was a good teacher until I discovered my students were just memorizing information rather than learning to understand the material. Who was to blame? The students? The material? I will explain how I came to the agonizing conclusion that the culprit was neither of these. It was my teaching that caused students to fail! I will show how I have adjusted my approach to teaching and how it has improved my students' performance significantly.\n\nThis event is open to all faculty\, graduate students\, and postdocs. Please register in advance at http://www.crlt.umich.edu/node/58500.\n\nEric Mazur is the Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University. In 1990\, he began developing Peer Instruction\, an active learning method\, and he is the author of Peer Instruction: A User's Manual (Prentice Hall\, 1997)\, a book that explains how to teach large lecture classes interactively. \n\nCo-sponsored by CRLT\, College of Engineering\, Learning Analytics Task Force\, LSA Dean's Office\, Office of the Vice President for Research\, Departments of Physics\, Astronomy\, Biophysics\, Chemistry\, Earth and Environmental Sciences\, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, Mathematics\,and Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology.

SUMMARY:Other:Special Event 
DESCRIPTION:Join us at UMMA on Valentine's Day for some radical pataphysical explorations designed to put reality slightly out of kilter. Presented by UMMA\, the Avant-Garde Interest Group in the Rackham Graduate School\, and the UM Department of English\, this UMMA Dialogue features experimental poet Christian Bok (University of Calgary)\, art historian David Doris (UM)\, and music performance professor Stephen Rush (UM) in a series of presentations and performances inspired by 'Pataphysics. 'Pataphysics is a philosophical precursor of Dada and Surrealism that reveals and dissolves the conceptual categories that constitute our understanding of reality by playfully placing everyday objects that we take for granted into odd\, strange\, and funny contexts. Highlights include a presentation by Professor Bok on his xenotext project\, a collaboration with microbiologists to design a cell that can store and write a poem\, and an experimental performance art introduction to pataphysical concepts by Stephen Rush and some of his students in SMTD.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Space\, Language\, and Genre: For a Multilingual Literary History of Awadh
DESCRIPTION:While literary histories\, first written in the colonial-nationalist period\, have drawn firm boundaries around languages\, scripts\, and literary tastes\, a multilingual approach to literary history provides a more plausible\, layered\, and nuanced picture of literary culture in the early modern period. A geographical perspective and a sensitivity to linguistic registers and “traces” of other languages within texts\, and to the popularity and circulation of genres and people\, are particularly useful for highlighting interrelationships but also literary forms and sensibilities that single-language archives have obscured. In this talk\, I start applying this multilingual approach to a region\, Awadh (roughly from the 15c to the 18c)\, that was long at the centre of the North Indian Sultanates and later of the Mughal empire\, but also continuously contested between Sufi- and Persian-dominated qasbas and “recalcitrant zamindars” in the countryside. As both got drawn into the networks of Mughal administration\, how did linguistic choices and literary tastes evolve?\n\nThis program is organized by the Center for South Asian Studies with support from the U-M LSA Theme Semester and co-sponsored by the History Department\, the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, and the Department of Comparative Literature.

SUMMARY:Performance:Steel Wheels
DESCRIPTION:The Steel Wheels have enthralled audiences across the country with their heady brew of original soulful mountain music. Based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia\, this dynamic band marries old-time musical traditions with their own innovative sound. Trent Wagler’s weathered tenor is joined by bell-clear four-part harmonies inspired by a shared Mennonite heritage. Add to this Eric Brubaker’s lively and evocative fiddle\, Brian Dickel’s grounded yet buoyant upright bass\, and Jay Lapp’s signature mandolin style\, and it’s no surprise that The Steel Wheels have burst onto the Americana scene\, becoming festival favorites and selling out venues across the country. \"Americana music at its very best!\" said Larry Groce of Mountain Stage.
