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 - Nikkei and the Construction of a Multicultural Brazil
DESCRIPTION:Today\, Brazil has the largest community of Japanese descent in the world while Japan currently is home to about 200\,000 Brazilians. Cities like São Paulo claim huge populations of Syrian\, Lebanese\, Italian\, and Portuguese descent. The millions of immigrants who settled in Brazil helped to create ideas about ethnicity\, foreignness and national identity\, all within a historical context of slavery\, that are often distinct from other countries in the Americas. This presentation will analyze the role of Japanese-Brazilians in creating new forms of multiculturalism in both Brazil and Japan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Masculinizing American Jewish Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:Philanthropy has long been a cornerstone of Jewish identity in the United States.  By the nineteenth century\, charitable activity had increasingly become identified as the province of women–both Jewish and non-Jewish–because they were considered to possess an innate nurturing character particularly suited to benevolence.  But in the late nineteenth and throughout the twentieth century\, as Jewish organizations became larger and more sophisticated\, Jewish men began to redefine communal philanthropy in ways that distanced it from female models of benevolence.  Stressing organization and efficiency and emphasizing philanthropy as an expression of civic duty\, Jewish men reimagined Jewish philanthropic activity as a masculine endeavor.

SUMMARY:Other:Self Esteem and Relationships\; A Relationship Enhancement Series 
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays- Relationship Enhancement Series.  Dealing with difficult people in your life can be extremely stressful. Unfortunately\, few people ever learn the high-level skills needed to manage difficult relationships. This series will help you do just that.\n\nSelf-Esteem and Relationships. Few things in your life can have a greater positive impact than learning to feel good about you. How we feel about ourselves can impact our relationships with friends\, family\, and significant others.  In this workshop you will explore some of the earlier-life experiences that may have formed your current \"core beliefs\" about yourself.  We will talk about how these beliefs influence your life\, relationships\, and behaviors currently.  Lastly\, you will learn strategies for weakening some of the negative self-beliefs that hold you back in your life.\n\n\n\nEach Thursday from 4:15-5:30 p.m. you and other interested students will meet with a counselor and focus on one of the most frequent concerns of U-M students. These are the very issues that U-M students have told us are the most common issues they deal with every day. The counselor will share some helpful information\, talk about strategies and clinical resources\, and she or he will also make time for you to share a little bit about your concerns (if you wish to do so).  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:An open discussion on leadership
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public.\nReception to follow.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nIn more than forty years of distinguished public service Ambassador (ret) John Negroponte\, a career American diplomat\, held such positions as US Ambassador to Honduras\, Mexico\, the Philippines\, the United Nations\, and Iraq. He served twice on the US National Security Council staff\, first as director for Vietnam in the Nixon Administration and then as Deputy National Security Advisor under President Reagan. He also held a cabinet level position as the first Director of National Intelligence under President George W. Bush. More recently\, he served as Deputy Secretary of State. Earlier in his career Ambassador Negroponte also served in Hong Kong\, Vietnam\, France\, Ecuador and Greece. He is currently Vice Chairman of McLarty Associates in Washington\, DC and a Distinguished Fellow at the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs at Yale University\, where he lectures in international affairs and national security.\n\n\nAbout the event\n\nThe focus of this Ford Policy Union will be on leadership and on specific examples from Ambassador Negroponte's experience. What makes a good leader and how do leaders make decisions? How do leaders handle dissent and divergent views? What lessons have we learned from successes and failures in national security and foreign policy? Has traditional American diplomacy been sidelined because of dominance by our military in post-Cold War conflict and in counter-terrorism since 9/11? The Ford School's Professor of International Policy and Practice\, Ambassador (ret) Melvyn Levitsky will conduct the discussion with Ambassador Negroponte and moderate a question and answer session with the audience.

SUMMARY:Performance:Pete Siers Trio featuring Dave Bennett & Tad Weed
DESCRIPTION:Like Clark Kent\, jazz percussionist Pete Siers is soft-spoken and unassuming–but put him behind a drum set and a hard-swinging\, intensely physical\, dynamically sensitive drummer emerges. Paul Pearce of Bass World magazine writes that “Pete absolutely ”˜sings’ with his drum kit.” A consummate professional\, Pete has an international reputation for his “restless curiosity\, attention to detail\, and mastery of many different styles\,” according to Mike Stratton\, host of the Lansing radio show “The Vinyl Side of Midnight.” Pete has played with jazz luminaries such as Russell Malone\, Mulgrew Miller\, Marian McPartland\, Lee Konitz\, Benny Golson\, James Moody\, Kenny Werner\, David “Fathead” Newman\, Eddie Daniels\, Frank Morgan\, Scott Hamilton\, Bob Wilber\, and Barry Harris. In addition to his expansive performance career\, Pete has played on over 50 recordings\, including Russell Malone’s \"Black Butterfly.\" Pete continues to perform orchestral pops shows such as trumpeter Marcus Belgrave’s Louis Armstrong Tribute and Dave Bennett’s Salute to Benny Goodman. Tonight's version of the trio features clarinetist Dave Bennett and pianist Tad Weed\, and the show will feature music from the trio's new album\, \"Krupa.\" \n
