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:Lecture / Discussion:CCS Noon Lecture Series: \"From Ruletakers to Rulemakers: Chinese and Global Governance\"
DESCRIPTION:\"Chinese government agencies\, companies\, and NGO's are become much more significant players in every area of global governance\, from trade remedies to the setting of technical standards to rules governing transnational investment. This presentation will explain how effectively Chinese are learning\, utilizing and shaping the rules of the game in these and other areas. Chinese effectiveness varies widely across regime areas\, and different kinds of Chinese companies have become more adept than others in their involvement. At the same time\, China's political system presents substantial obstacles to all Chinese being more effective and the country as a whole playing more of a leadership role globally.\n\nScott Kennedy (Ph.D.\, George Washington University\, 2002) is Director of the Research Center for Chinese Politics & Business (RCCPB)\, Associate Professor in the Departments of Political Science and East Asian Languages & Cultures\, and Adjunct Professor in the Kelley School of Business's Department of Business Economics and Public Policy at Indiana University.

He is author of The Business of Lobbying in China (Harvard University Press\, 2005)\; and editor of (with Shuaihua Cheng)\, From Rule Takers to Rule Makers: The Growing Role of Chinese in Global Governance (2012)\; Beyond the Middle Kingdom: Comparative Perspectives on China’s Capitalist Transformation (Stanford University Press\, 2011)\; and China Cross Talk: The American Debate over China Policy since Normalization: A Reader (Rowman & Littlefield\, 2003). He has published articles in China Quarterly\, China Journal\, Journal of Contemporary China\, China Economic Quarterly\, Business and Society\, Political Science Quarterly\, World Policy Journal\, and Problems of Post-Communism. He also writes a regular column for GKDragonomics on Chinese economic policy. For more information\, see chinatrack.typepad.com. \n\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Ambiguity of Virtue: Gertrude van Tijn and the Fate of the Dutch Jews during the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:The Ambiguity of Virtue: Gertrude van Tijn and the Fate of the Dutch Jews challenges the simplistic\, ahistorical interpretation of the role of the Nazi-appointed Jewish councils in Nazi-occupied Europe that was offered by Hannah Arendt in her Eichmann in Jerusalem. The Ambiguity of Virtue tells the story of Gertrude van Tijn’s work on behalf of her fellow Jews as the avenues that might save them were closed off.  Between 1933 and 1940 Van Tijn helped organize Jewish emigration from Germany. After the Germans occupied Holland\, she worked for the Jewish Council in Amsterdam and enabled many Jews to escape. Some later called her a heroine\; others denounced her as a collaborator. Was she merely a pawn of the Nazis\, or should she be commended for taking advantage of such opportunities as offered themselves to save Jews from the gas chambers? In such impossible circumstances\, what is just action\, and what is complicity?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Pavel Ivlev\, chairman\, Committee for Russian Economic Freedom\n\nIn this lecture\, Pavel Ivlev will draw on his experience as Russian legal counsel to Yukos Oil and its management to analyze the case at its deepest level. Ivlev argues that the Khodorkovsky/Yukos affair reveals the flawed Russian prosecution and judiciary system that can prioritize politics over due process\, and that Putin’s regime works against free markets\, sound corporate governance\, transparency\, and the rule of law. He will draw lessons from the case that he feels anyone interested in dealing with Russia and its people should learn. \n\nPavel Ivlev\, former lawyer for Yukos and Mikhail Khodorkovsky\, fled to New York from Russia under fear of unjust prosecution. A district court in Moscow issued an arrest warrant for Ivlev in 2005 on charges of embezzlement and money laundering\, identical to those of Khodorkovsky and Lebedev. Ivlev believed that the arrest warrant was a result of his refusal to provide false incriminating evidence against Khodorkovsky and other key Yukos managers. Ivlev has vowed not to return to Russia. A graduate of Moscow State University Law School in 1993\, Ivlev also studied law at Columbia University (New York) and Queen Mary College (London)\, and is a member of the International Bar Association and the U.S.-Russia Business Council. In 1997 Ivlev became a partner at a leading Moscow-based international law firm\, ALM Feldmans\, which was effectively destroyed by the broader attack on Yukos and its advisors. Ivlev is Chairman of the Committee for Russian Economic Freedom\, which he founded in 2009 to campaign for “free markets\, free people\, and free ideas in Russia.”\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.\n\nSponsors: WCED\, CREES

SUMMARY:Other:CCS Film Event: Piercing I
DESCRIPTION:PIERCING I\n\nDir. LIU Jian\, 2010\nChina\, 75 min.\nChinese with English subtitles\n\nQ&A with film director Liu Jian will take place immediately after the screening.\n\nPIERCING I marks the first independently produced\, feature-length animation film to come out of China. In the heart of a Chinese factory town filled with darkness and corruption\, two young\, unemployed men struggle to make better lives for themselves and are willing to risk everything. Through an absurd chain of events that brings together an unlikely cast of characters–the wealthiest businessman in town and his competitor\, along with a corrupt\, thuggish Police Bureau and two irreverent young anti-heroes–the film presents the social realities of urban China in a strikingly raw\, sardonic vision. The film was hand-drawn\, frame-by-frame\, over a three-year period by filmmaker Liu Jian. With a deft style that reveals humor and poignancy in the context of everyday life in contemporary China\, Liu Jian’s PIERCING I is lucid\, compelling\, and provocatively original.\n\nLiu Jian studied Chinese landscape painting and graduated from the Nanjing University of the Arts in 1993. Over the past two decades\, his work has drawn on a range of media and aesthetic approaches and has been presented at major exhibitions both in China and abroad. In 1995\, he began making works of animation\, and in 2007 he independently established the Le-joy Animation Studio. His first feature-length animation work\, PIERCING I (2010)\, has received numerous prestigious awards at film festivals across Asia and Europe.\n\nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Performance:Habib Koite
DESCRIPTION:Malian guitarist Habib Koité is one of Africa’s most popular and recognized musicians. He comes from a noble line of Khassonké griots\, traditional troubadors who provide wit\, wisdom and musical entertainment at social gatherings and special events\, but \"nobody really taught me to sing or to play the guitar\,\" he explains. \"I watched my parents\, and it washed off on me.\" Habib takes some unique approaches to playing the guitar. Sometimes he plays music that sounds close to the blues or flamenco\, two styles he studied under Khalilou Traoré\, a veteran of the legendary Afro-Cuban band Maravillas du Mali. Habib's latest release\, \"Afriki\,\" finds him exploring new musical directions. The album's overarching theme is the strengths and challenges of the African continent. “People here in Africa are willing to risk death trying to leave for Europe or the USA\, but they are not willing to take that risk staying to develop something here in Africa\,” says Habib. “Life can be really good or really bad wherever you live. People need to understand that. Even though Mali is poor\, we still have good quality of life: You can walk outside and smile and someone will smile back. I have thought about it a lot\, and I am not sure if poor countries have a worse quality of life.”
