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. Incorporating 30 years of her notes and observations\, the 500-page handbook is aimed at conservators\, collectors\, librarians\, and book lovers\, for the identification and description of book structures and styles.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Scalability\, Performance\, Stability\, and Portability of Many-core Computing Algorithms
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Wen-mei Hwu\, Professor and Sanders-AMD Endowed Chair in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, is one of the pioneers of parallel computing.\nAs part of the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering\, Dr. Hwu will deliver a seminar titled \"Scalability\, Performance\, Stability\, and Portability of Many-core Computing Algorithms.\"\n\nAbstract: The IMPACT group at the University of Illinois has been working on the co-design of scalable algorithms and programming tools for massively threaded computing. \nA major challenge that the group is addressing is to simultaneously achieve scalability\, performance\, numerical stability\, portability\, and development cost. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Hwu will go over the major building blocks involved: memory layout and dynamic tiling. He will show experimental results to demonstrate how these building blocks jointly enable the first scalable\, numerically stable tri-diagonal solver that matches the numerical stability of the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) and surpass the performance of CUSPARSE. \nHe will then give an overview of the Tangram and Triolet projects that are aimed to drastically improve the quality and reduce the development and maintenance cost future many-core algorithms.\n\nBio: Wen-mei W. Hwu is a Professor and holds the Sanders-AMD Endowed Chair in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research interests are in the area of architecture\, implementation\, compilation\, and algorithms for parallel computing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sang-Yong Nam Memorial Lecture: Korean Economy at a Crossroads: Ageing\, China & North Korea
DESCRIPTION:In the last sixty years since the end of the Korean War in 1953\, South Korea has transformed itself from war-devastated ruins to a prosperous and reasonably functioning democracy. This great achievement of Korea can be attributed to several factors. In the aftermath of the war\, a market economy and a democratic political system were put in place. With respect to economic policy\, successful industrialization in the 1970s and 1980s was followed by a timely opening up of the economy around 1990. Also\, the year 1987 was the turning point in history when Korean democracy began to be established in earnest\, unlocking its potential for a civil and innovative society. These institutions\, combined with a people driven by norms that highly valued education and a strong work ethic\, led to a miraculous economic achievement. Six years’ continued prosperity and success\, however\, breeds seeds of failure. The economy is slowing down\, social cleavages are widening\, the public sector is becoming bigger but more inefficient\, and entrenched interest groups are blocking reforms in many areas. South Korea could enter a period of sustained stagnation similar to what Japan has experienced in the last two decades. Yet\, internal and external challenges facing Korea in the next fifteen years are daunting. Why fifteen years? First\, around 2027\, 20% of the Korean population is expected to be age 65 or older. Second\, Chinese economic power is likely to be on par with the U.S. around 2017. Currently Korea is highly dependent on Chinese economy but relying on the security alliance with the United States. On top of these challenges\, the future of North Korea is highly uncertain. What should South Korea do now to meet these triple challenges lying ahead in the next fifteen years?\n\nJUNG Ku-Hyun has taught at Yonsei University’s School of Business from 1978 to 2002 and served as Director of the Institute of East and West Studies and the Dean of the Graduate School of Business Administration at the same university. In 2003\, he moved to Samsung Group to serve as the President and CEO of Samsung Economic Research Institute and has contributed to the upgrading and internationalization of the Institute. Dr. Jung joined the College of Business at KAIST in 2011 as a visiting professor\, and he is also currently serving in three non-profit organizations\; President of the Seoul Forum for International Affairs\, Chairman of the Center for Free Economy and Board Chair of Gyeonggi Research Institute. His academic interests include corporate strategy\, business ecosystem\, economic institutions and globalization. Graduated from Seoul National University with B.A. and completed graduate studies at the University of Michigan with Ph.D.
