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:CJS Noon Lecture Series: The Greatest Pirate in Japan
DESCRIPTION:This presentation traces the career of Noshima Murakami Takeyoshi (1533-1604)\, a seafarer whom Jesuit visitors dubbed the “Greatest Pirate in Japan.”  I integrate Japanese and foreign representations of Japanese pirates in order to show how seafarers like Takeyoshi employed reputations\, performances of lordship\, and protection businesses so as to inspire authorities and travelers to recognize them as legitimate rulers over sprawling\, sea-based domains. I show how an exploration of pirates can reveal maritimedimensions of the local autonomy that was a hallmark of Japan’s late medieval age\, contest the land-centered biases in both historical sources and modernhistories\, and provide a transnational perspective on sixteenth-century Japan.\n\nPeter D. Shapinsky is associate professor of history at the University of Illinois\, Springfield and the author of Lords of the Sea: Pirates\, Violence\, and Commerce in Late Medieval Japan (Center for Japanese Studies\, University of Michigan).

DESCRIPTION:Mady Kouyate was born in Senegal into a highly respected centuries-old line of musicians and praise singers known as Djelys\, or Griots. In West Africa\, Griots (traditional historians\, genealogists and storytellers) keep history alive in their story and song. One of the Griots' traditional instruments\, the kora\, is a lute-like instrument made from a large calabash with 21 strings. The Kouyate family\, including both of Mady Kouyate's parents\, his uncle\, and his brother\, were his first and best teachers of the artistry of music and verse. He also studied with the famous Toumani Diabate while attending L'institute Nationale Des Arts. Kouyate now lives in the US\, and he wishes to share with you the wisdom of his fathers.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Conversations on Europe
DESCRIPTION:Peter Bratsis\, assistant professor of political science\, Borough of Manhattan Community College\n\nTaking up key arguments and concepts from Norbert Elias\, this talk will focus on how changes in popular culture as well as the temporal and spatial characteristics of capitalism in Europe have undone the civilizing process as understood by Elias. Economic integration increasingly has become a source of conflict and antagonism rather than a way of cementing political alliances. Similarly\, cultural patterns have led to a turn away from tempering our own animality and short-term interests so as to ensure ever-stronger forms of social cooperation and long-term stability. As a consequence\, the ability of European societies to reproduce themselves both individually and as a cohesive group is now in doubt.\n\nPeter Bratsis teaches political science at the City University of New York. He is a founding editor of the journal Situations: Project of the Radical Imagination\; author of Everyday Life and the State (Paradigm\, 2006)\; and editor\, with Stanley Aronowitz\, of Paradigm Lost: State Theory Reconsidered (Minnesota\, 2002). His most recent publication is “Political Corruption in the Age of Transnational Capitalism: From the Relative Autonomy of the State to the White Man's Burden” in Historical Materialism (2013).\n\nSponsors: CES\, Modern Greek Program\, WCED

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Persistence of populations through climate change demands biogeographic shifts of species\, evolutionary adaptation of populations or local acclimatization of individuals. For long-lived\, sessile foundation species that create ecosystem habitat such as forest trees or reef building corals\, range shifts and evolution are predicted to be slow. As a consequence\, the rate and scope of acclimatization in these species to future environmental conditions is central to understanding the impact of climate change. In recent decades\, reef building corals have experienced global declines due\, in part\, to extreme bleaching events sparked by pulses of warm water exposure. However\, corals in naturally warm environments can have higher resistance to bleaching temperatures than conspecifics in cooler microclimates\, making these populations ideal test sites for research into the mechanisms of coral response to climate change. We use transplants between microclimates\, physiological testing and transcriptomics to show that corals can acquire partial heat tolerance through gene expression changes in warm microclimates. Though acclimatization and fixed differences between populations contribute similarly to bleaching tolerance\, acclimatization achieves the same phenotypic change in less than two years as would strong selection over many generations for these long-lived organisms. Acclimation and adaptation may both be important in future response of corals and coral reefs to gradual ocean warming\, and including these process in predictive models will make for better evaluation of coral reef future

SUMMARY:Other:ISIS-Interdisciplinary Seminar on Islamic Studies. Localizing Islam through Transnational Influences
DESCRIPTION:Azra AkÅ¡amija is a Sarajevo born artist and architectural historian. AkÅ¡amija graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University Graz\, Austria in 2001\, and received her M.Arch. from Princeton University\, USA in 2004\, and Ph.D. from MIT (HTC / AKPIA) in 2011. In her multi-disciplinary practice\, she investigates the potency of art and architecture to facilitate the process of transformative mediation in cultural or political conflicts\, and in so doing\, provide a framework for researching\, analyzing\, and intervening in contested socio-political realities. Her recent work focuses on representation of Islamic identities in the West\, spatial mediation of identity politics\, and cultural pedagogy through art and architecture.\n\nAkÅ¡amija’s academic research highlights the significance of ethnic symbols\, long-term cultural factors\, and global cultural flows in the creation of contemporary nations. In her Ph.D. dissertation\, AkÅ¡amija examined how Bosnian Muslims construct their identity through the lens of rebuilt or newly built mosques following the systematic destruction of religious architecture during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War. Her academic inquiry informs her ongoing artistic explorations about Islam in the West and the conflicts over visibility of Muslims in the United States and Europe.

SUMMARY:Performance:Nuala Kennedy Band
DESCRIPTION:Nuala Kennedy is a singer and flutist playing traditional music from Scotland\, Ireland\, and the fathomless realms of her own imagination. Nuala grew up in Dundalk\, County Louth\, on the East coast of Ireland\, a musical area steeped in mythology and with long historical links to Scotland. At 18\, Nuala moved to Scotland\, where she was tremendously influenced by fellow Irish expatriate Cathal McConnel\, who over the years played an important mentorship role in Nuala’s music. Her instrumental prowess deepened and her repertoire expanded to include both Scottish and Irish tunes. She moved again to Inverness in the Highlands in 2007 to deepen her knowledge of the Scots Gaelic musical traditions. This one-year intensive study of the best influences of the two cultures expanded Nuala’s knowledge and repertoire even more\, bringing her instrumentation and vocals to highly adventurous level. Nuala’s contribution to traditional music has been recognized in her adopted homeland of Scotland\, where she has been awarded numerous grants and commissions. She comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Noble Stranger.\"\n
