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. Bookbinders from across the country acquired the text of the book in folded sheets and\, months later\, presented them to a jury as completed books with custom bindings.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Application of Hierarchical Linear Models
DESCRIPTION:This workshop teaches the concepts and analysis of multilevel data through multilevel models (also known as hierarchical linear models or mixed models). With understanding of basic linear regression concepts as a prerequisite\, the instructors will cover a wide range of topics including clustered data\, longitudinal studies\, and clustered longitudinal data. Participants will be introduced to the use of HLM 7.0 software. The workshop will consist of lively lectures and hands-on examples using HLM software.Many studies in social sciences (e.g.\, education\, human development\, public health\, sociology) are multilevel\, longitudinal\, or both. Multilevel data arise when participants are clustered within social settings. The variation and covariation within and between such settings are often of interest substantively and should not be ignored when assessing relationships between explanatory variables and outcomes. In longitudinal research\, we repeatedly observe subjects. These repeated measures for each participant will be correlated and explanatory variables may be time-varying or time-invariant. This workshop will consider the issues of analysis that arise in multilevel and longitudinal research settings.\n\nWe will first consider two-level cross-sectional studies in which persons (level-1) are nested within groups (level-2). The level-1 model specifies a process within each group\, and the level-2 model explains how these processes are different between groups. Next\, we will discuss two-level studies of individual growth and compare the structures of these studies to multilevel studies. We will also consider three-level models. We will focus on the case in which repeated measures (level-1) are nested within persons (level-2) who are themselves nested in organizations (level-3).\n\nAll of these studies will involve nearly continuous outcomes for which the normality distribution is at least plausible. They will also feature purely nested designs (e.g.\, persons nested within organizations). The workshop will provide participants with an overview of other types of applications where hierarchical linear models or generalized hierarchical linear models are appropriate (e.g.\, binary outcomes)\, and briefly discuss how the HLM software could be used to model such data.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Three Michigan Architects: Part 2–Robert Metcalf
DESCRIPTION:Robert Metcalf’s domestic and commercial buildings represent some of the most important and recognizable modern architecture in Michigan. Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Engaging Aliens: Ming “Inward Imperialism” and the Construction of the “Great Wall on the Chu Borderland”
DESCRIPTION:During the last century of China’s Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)\, the government of Huguang Province constructed a “border wall” in the “Miao territory” (aka the “Great Wall on the Chu Borderland” in the late Ming\, or the “Southern Great Wall” as promoted in China today). While this border wall is smaller in scale and thus less known compared to the Great Wall in the northern frontiers\, it is by no means less significant in illustrating the enduring process of identity building in China during both imperial times and the People’s Republic. Drawing on my field research as well as historical documents\, this talk seeks to explore the cultural meaning of the Great Wall on the Chu Borderland\, examining how the Ming government perceived and constructed the cultural and ethnic identity of their political entity along the Han-Miao borderlands. It will address some critical issues regarding the empire-building in the Ming\, such as What kind of country should be built? Where were its boundaries? What values should be embraced? Who should be included? And what was the nature of the “Miao territory”? It will point out that the Ming quest for their new identity after overthrowing the Mongol regime left remarkable legacy for modern China’s identity search and construction.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Ugur Umit Ungor\, assistant professor of history\, Utrecht University\n\nIn the process of Habsburg\, Ottoman\, and Russian imperial collapse\, roughly in the decade 1912–23\, millions of soldiers were killed in regular war hostilities. But hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians were also victimized as a result of expulsions\, pogroms\, and other forms of persecution and mass violence. The Balkan Wars of 1912–13 erased the Ottoman Empire from the Balkans and marked a devastating blow to Ottoman political culture. The years 1915–16 saw the destruction of the Anatolian Armenians\, organized by the Young Turk political elite and carried out by a host of forces. Lastly\, the period 1917-23 is of great significance for the history of the Caucasus\, both North and South\, as it witnessed total war and massacres of civilians. Many studies of this kaleidoscope of violence have focused on the domestic roots and impacts of these processes. But might a transnational perspective offer a new understanding of their genesis\, the scope of the events\, and the scale of their implications? This lecture will approach these conflicts by developing a transnational perspective and exploring to what extent they were related to each other.\n\nUgur Ãœmit Ãœngör (1980) gained his Ph.D. in 2009 (cum laude) at the University of Amsterdam. In 2008–09\, he was lecturer in international history at the Department of History of the University of Sheffield\, and in 2009–10\, he was post-doctoral research fellow at the Centre for War Studies of University College Dublin. Currently he is assistant professor at the Department of History at Utrecht University and at the NIOD: Institute for War\, Holocaust\, and Genocide Studies in Amsterdam. His main area of interest is the historical sociology of mass violence\, especially during the fragmentation and collapse of states. His most recent publications include Confiscation and Destruction: The Young Turk Seizure of Armenian Property (Continuum\, 2011) and The Making of Modern Turkey: Nation and State in Eastern Anatolia\, 1913-1950 (Oxford University Press\, 2011). In 2013\, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences awarded him the Heineken Young Scientist Award for History.\n\nSponsors: ASP\, CREES

SUMMARY:Other:Overcoming the Weakness of the Will
DESCRIPTION:The most sincere resolutions to exert willpower–to diet\, stop smoking\, control anger–too often turn into failed good intentions. Beginning decades ago with Mischel’s “marshmallow test” experiments on delay of gratification with preschoolers\, this lecture unpacks the conditions that enable self-control\, and the basic cognitive and brain mechanisms that underlie resistance to temptation and the regulation of emotions. Mischel examines the implications of these discoveries for mastering self-control in everyday life\, public policy\, and the conception of human nature.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Remains of Colonial History
DESCRIPTION:Debate upon the status of colonial buildings in South Korea today has swirled around the public buildings most symbolic of colonial authority. Yet the most prevalent remaining buildings are much smaller in scale\; they are the houses abandoned by or appropriated from Japanese residents upon the defeat in war and a chaotic withdrawal from the colonies.  This talk turns to the “enemy house” to ask how the homely figures in the domestication of colonial history.\n\nJanet Poole is an Associate Professor in the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto\, Canada. Her research focuses on the relationship between aesthetics and formations of colonialism and postcolonial national division\, explored through literature\, art and material culture\, on theories of translation and literary translation. She is the author of When the Future Disappears: The Modernist Imagination in Late Colonial Korea (forthcoming on Columbia University Press) and translator of a collection of anecdotal essays published during the Pacific War by Yi T'aejun\, Eastern Sentiments (Columbia University Press\, paperback edition\, 2013). She is currently exploring the remains of colonial history through a study of Japanese-style houses on the Korean peninsula.  Professor Poole received her BA from the University of London\, her MA from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa\, and her PhD from Columbia University.

SUMMARY:Performance:April Verch Band
DESCRIPTION:April Verch has never sounded more comfortable in her skin than she does now\, in the second decade of her career as an internationally touring Canadian fiddler\, step dancer and singer-songwriter. Her ninth album\, \"Bright Like Gold\,\" captures a woman who’s fleshed out her identity and is in full command of her gifts\, a woman who’s grown from a prodigy into an enduring artist–one of music’s most unforgiving public transitions–with grace and grit to spare. The April Verch Band–rounded out by bassist and clawhammer banjo player Cody Walters and guitarist Hayes Griffin\, who has a Masters in jazz improv from the New England Conservatory–is an energetic\, virtuosic\, tradition-celebrating outfit\, and April's fiddling and step dancing–and often executing two entirely different intricate rhythmic patterns–at once is downright impressive! If you think you don't like old-time music\, well ... you've never seen April Verch!
