SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Life Line: Scratchboard Etchings
DESCRIPTION:While Chicagoan Lisa S. Goesling has spent her life creating art\, she discovered scratchboards (boards made of clay and India ink) while undergoing a cancer diagnosis in 2006. The idea that adversity teaches us to turn the negative into a positive is a great analogy for transforming these black boards into thriving works of art. Her past careers in graphic design and art direction continue to influence her art by incorporating the fundamentals of design\, such as composition\, pattern\, texture\, contrast\, line\, etc. Using nature as her muse\, Goesling scratches fine lines into a layer of ink until meticulous images appear in the clay.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Re-Imaging Gender - A Juried Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Our understandings of gender have shifted dramatically in recent decades. No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary\, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.\n\nRe-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender\, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.\n\nThe Re-imaging artists\, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10\, plus Chicago)\, responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media\, including photography\, paint\, lithograph\, mixed media\, and video\, which reflect new understandings of gender.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery\, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies\, from January 15 - June 26\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Now or Never\": Collecting\, Documenting\, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire\, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944)\, his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947)\, Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine\, but also was the site of genocide.\n\nThe initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission\, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3\, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society\, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain.  It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek\, Syriac\, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these\, and their proper preservation\, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing.  Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.\n\nOrganizers: Kathryn Babayan\, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies\, U-M\; and Melanie Tanielian\, assistant professor of history\, U-M.

DESCRIPTION:Diaries written by U-M professor of archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858–1927) and photographs taken by U-M staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866–1947) are a historical record that links them—and the University of Michigan—to one of the largest preservation efforts in history.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Dykes\, Dads\, and Moms to Watch out For: The Comics of Alison Bechdel
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for the Humanities is pleased to present the first comprehensive\, curated exhibition of the work of Alison Bechdel\, cartoonist\, graphic memoirist\, and 2014 McArthur \"Genius.\" Bechdel's work explores the overlap of the personal and the political\, \"using the interplay of word and image to weave sophisticated narratives.\" The musical adaptation of her acclaimed graphic memoir Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic\, which originated at the Public Theater\, opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\n\"Alison Bechdel’s comic strip Dykes To Watch Out For has become a countercultural institution among lesbians and discerning non-lesbians all over the planet. And her more recent\, darkly humorous graphic memoirs about her family have forged an unlikely intimacy with an even wider range of readers.\n\nBechdel self-syndicated Dykes to Watch Out For for twenty-five years\, from 1983 to 2008. The award-winning generational chronicle has been called “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre\, period.” (Ms. magazine)\n\nIn 2006 she published Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. Time magazine named it the Best Book of 2006\, describing the tightly architected investigation into her closeted bisexual father’s suicide “a masterpiece about two people who live in the same house but different worlds\, and their mysterious debts to each other.” Fun Home was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award. It has been adapted into a musical by the playwright Lisa Kron and the composer Jeanine Tesori. It opened Off-Broadway at the Public Theater in September 2013 and ran through several extensions. It opens on Broadway in April 2015.\n\nIn her work\, Bechdel is preoccupied with the overlap of the political and the personal spheres\, the relationship of the self to the world outside. Her 2012 memoir Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama delved into not just her relationship with her own mother\, but the theories of the 20th-century British psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. In the New York Times Book Review\, Katie Roiphe wrote\, “There’s a lucidity to Bechdel’s work that in certain ways … bears more resemblance to poetry than to the dense\, wordy introspection of most prose memoirs. The book delivers lightning bolts of revelation\, maps of insight and visual snapshots of family entanglements in a singularly beautiful style.”\n\nAlison’s comics have appeared in The New Yorker\, Slate\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times Book Review\, and Granta. She received a 2012 Guggenheim Fellowship.\n\nAlison lives in Vermont\, where she is a Marsh Professor at Large at the University of Vermont.\"

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:\"BLIGHT AS POLITICS\"
DESCRIPTION:In August 2013\, Detroit’s Emergency Financial Manager\, Kevyn Orr\, declared a “blight emergency” in the city. This declaration staged “blight” as a catastrophic threat to public health\, safety\, security\, and well-being on the same order as the other disasters listed in Michigan’s Emergency Management Act\, including “hazardous radiological incident\,” “hostile military or paramilitary action\,” and “terrorist activities\, riots\, or civil disorders.” Less than a year later\, the Detroit Blight Task Force announced that it had discovered over 80\,000 blighted buildings in Detroit\; according to the Task Force\, these buildings were necessary to demolish and $850 million was required to carry out this program of urban destruction. As these events indicate\, current efforts to detect\, eliminate\, and prevent “blight” in Detroit are prompting novel expansions of state authority\, enormous public expenditures\, and potentially drastic alterations of the built environment. And yet\, the history of “blight” as an urban crisis soliciting radical political\, economic\, and social re-organization has yet to receive sustained critical or scholarly attention. With a few signal exceptions\, discussions of “blight” have proceeded in dehistoricized and depoliticized contexts oriented around narrow technical parameters\, as if “blight” was an easily defined and objective phenomenon instead of the spatial residue of racism and segregation\, deindustrialization\, disinvestment\, and other fraught dynamics of American urban history.\nOrganized by Assoc. Prof. Andrew Herscher\, this workshop will draw together scholars and activists whose work has contributed to the framing of blight as a topic of critical scholarly and public attention in order to pose “blight” as an object of interdisciplinary inquiry\, informed public debate\, and considered urban action.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: Ushering in the Era of Petascale Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST\; http://lsst.org) is a planned\, large-aperture\, wide-field\, ground-based telescope that will survey half the sky every few nights in six optical bands from 320 to 1050 nm. It will explore a wide range of astrophysical questions\, ranging from discovering “killer” asteroids\, to examining the nature of dark energy.\n\nThe LSST will produce on average 15 terabytes of data per night\, yielding an (uncompressed) data set of over 100 petabytes at the end of its 10-year mission. Dedicated HPC facilities will process the image data in near real time\, with full-dataset reprocessings on annual scale. A sophisticated data management system will enable database queries from individual users\, as well as computationally intensive scientific investigations that utilize the entire data set.\n\nIn this talk\, Mario Juric will review the science case for LSST and what LSST will deliver once operational. He will focus on the data products and management system\, highlighting a number of differences and novel approaches compared to previous surveys including extensive use of simulations. More generally\, Juric will discuss implications of petascale data sets for astronomy in the 2020s and ways in which the community can prepare to make the best use of them.\n\nBIO: Mario Juric is a Washington Research Foundation Data Science Professor of Astronomy at the Department of Astronomy at the University of Washington\, and a Senior Data Science Fellow of the University of Washington eScience Institute. He is also theData Management Project Scientist for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope. He holds a Ph.D. in Astrophysical Sciences from Princeton University\; was a postdoctoral member at the Institute for Advanced Study\; served as a Hubble Fellow at Harvard University\; and was an associate scientist at LSST/AURA.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:The Positive Links Speaker Series 2014-15 season features contributing authors of \"How To Be a Positive Leader: Small Actions\, Big Impact.\" (howtobeapositiveleader.com)\n\nPositive leaders are able to dramatically expand their people’s—and their own—capacity for excellence. And they accomplish this without enormous resources or huge heroic gestures. Leading scholars describe how this is being done at organizations such as Wells Fargo\, Ford\, Kelly Services\, Burt’s Bees\, Connecticut’s Griffin Hospital\, the Michigan-based Zingerman’s Community of Businesses\, and many others. Like the butterfly in Brazil whose flapping wings create a typhoon in Texas\, you can create profound positive change in your organization through simple actions and attitude shifts. Please join us to learn how.\n\nShirli Kopelman is a leading researcher\, expert\, and educator in the field of negotiations at Michigan Ross. Kopelman is also Faculty Director of Business Practice at the Center for Positive Organizations\, President-Elect of the International Association for Conflict Management\, and author of Negotiating Genuinely: Being Yourself in Business\, published by Stanford University Press. Professor Kopelman has been honored with outstanding teaching and prestigious research awards. She publishes in leading academic research journals and her work has been featured in media outlets such as Businessweek\, Fortune\, INC.\, and Harvard Business Review. Her innovative positive framework for negotiations enables people to draw on their leadership strengths to co-create internal and external opportunities that maximize economic profits in a sustainable way\, while fostering wellbeing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:#Black Lives Matter: A Minicourse by the Residential College
DESCRIPTION:As federal and state governments in the U.S. dramatically increased the number and share of their populations in jails and prisons\, they also abandoned the New Deal goals of full employment and decent-paying jobs for all. The harms caused by both policy changes fell especially heavily on black communities and their young people. Ian Robinson (Faculty\, STP Program\, RC) will discuss how the two trends relate and provide an overview of the unemployment levels and pay and working conditions facing black youth today. Erica Clemmons\, an organizer for the United Food and Commercial Workers in Chicago\, and leader in the Young Workers movement\, will speak about this movemen\, the links it has built with community activists involved in Black Lives Matter mobilizations around the country\, and how they aim to change both bad dynamics through their organizing work.
