She has developed a special interest in the land and skies of this region\, which are often depicted in her paintings. While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual. Most of them result from sketches\, en plein air paintings and photographs made during a walk or bike ride through the countryside. Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it. –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press. She is currently entering her last year of the MFA program at The Ohio State University.

Passionate Curiosities\, curated by Margaret Root\, invites visitors to meet some of the remarkable people—from eminent scientists to missionaries\, from consuls to entrepreneurs\, from scholars to swash-buckling adventurers—who forged the Egyptian and Near Eastern collections of the Kelsey Museum between the 1880s and the 1950s. \n\nThe featured notables all have ties to the State of Michigan and often to the University itself. They include Samuel A. Goudsmit\, co-discoverer of the spin of the electron in 1925\; Harriet Conner\, an unsung missionary in 1880s Cairo\; Henry Gillman\, American consul in Jerusalem in the 1880s\; Dr. David Askren\, an American physician living in Egypt who facilitated massive purchases for Professor Francis W. Kelsey\; and A. M. Todd of Kalamazoo\, a chemist\, global entrepreneur\, and utopian thinker who marketed his distilled mint products across the world at the turn of the last century. One famous dealer these figures worked with was the Lion of Cairo\, Maurice Nahman.\n\nOn view will be some rarely displayed artifacts acquired through the efforts of these collectors\, including large decorated Coptic tunics from Egypt and a volume from the Kelsey’s rare complete edition of the Napoleonic Description de l'Égypte. Wonderful vintage photographs help open up the fascinating backstories of some of the Museum’s most popular artifacts. Come discover who brought the Kelsey’s child mummy home from Egypt in the 1880s and who gave us the coffin of Djehutymose in 1906!

This exhibition will feature a selection of her paintings\, not only images of ancient sculptures and landscapes but also contemporary life studies. The paintings will be set in dialogue with objects drawn from the Kelsey's collections\, including works of Greek art inspired by Egyptian precedents and examples of the same figure types seen in Artin's work (such as Aphrodite rising from the sea).\n\nWendy Artin is one of a long line of artists who draw inspiration from antiquity. Indeed\, this tradition has very ancient precedents\, such as the Roman practice of making marble “copies” of famous Greek bronze statues. Artin’s visually stunning paintings offer fresh and arresting ways of looking at ancient sculptures and buildings.

Since the downfall of Suharto in 1998 Indonesia has managed a transition to democratic government without large-scale violence\, and without the backsliding that has been so common in other states. Most observers consider Indonesia a consolidated democracy. But it is a democracy facing several important challenges. This presentation looks at the strengths and weaknesses of Indonesian democracy through the lens of the 2014 elections that brought President Jokowi to power.\n\nAllen Hicken is a Research Associate Professor at the Center for Political Studies and at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Michigan. He studies political parties\, institutions\, political economy and policy making in developing countries\, with a focus on Southeast Asia.\n\nThis is the fifth of six lectures in the series\, \"Indonesia\; Culturally Diverse\, Geographically Fragmented\, Strategically Located.\" UID:23659-1424961@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/23659 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Lifelong Learning,Politics,Retirement,Southeast Asia LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20150709T152829 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151015T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151015T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Jem Cohen DESCRIPTION:The title of this multi-format photography and video installation by New York filmmaker Jem Cohen comes from the artist’s own characterization of his practice.\n As he explains\, “The unifying core of my work stems from encountering the world as it unfolds. Whether the project is long- or short-term\, moving image or still photography\, single pictures\, multiple projections\, or an installation\, it is through close observation\, careful listening\, and an embrace of chance that I establish the bedrock. . . . Regardless of the tools and the form\, the project is . . . life drawing.”\n \nThe dual-gallery presentation of Life Drawing at UMMA underscores Cohen’s use of disparate media that\, rooted in a shared set of concerns and working methods\, organically coalesce into a broader body of work.\n We Have an Anchor\, on view in the Media Gallery\, is a single-channel video projection that incorporates composited 16mm\, Super 8\, and HD imagery. An environmental portrait of Nova Scotia\, it takes its departure point from a live performance with multiple projections where Cohen collaborated with an ensemble of musicians to make what has been described as a cinematic love letter to Nova Scotia's Cape Breton. Footage of the island\, gathered over 10 years\, is interspersed with texts ranging from poems to local folklore\, buoyed by both environmental sounds and an original score written and performed by members from a diverse group of bands\, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Dirty Three\, Fugazi\, White Magic\, Silver Mt. Zion\, and The Quavers.\n \nIn the Photography Gallery\, more than 25 still photographs\, again gathered over a long period in a disappearing analog format (in this case\, Polaroid film)\, are subtly married to digital technology. The images\, some urban and some domestic\, are from a variety of locations ranging from New York to Tangier. With both the video and the photographs Cohen uses a strategy of free wandering conjoined with careful documentation in order to unearth and celebrate hidden\, seemingly haunted geographies and their human (and animal) inhabitants.

The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

In his autobiographical novel\, Richter recounts the tumultuous events of 1989/90 from the perspective of a 16-year-old growing up in Dresden. Full of wry observations\, pop cultural and political references (and footnoted to boot)\, the novel is doubly relevant today: as the portrait of a generation that came of age in the years around German Unification a quarter century ago\, but also as the excavation of political developments that continue to resonate even today in Germany’s response to the refugee crisis\, and in the political life of the Berlin Republic.\nSince 2012\, Richter has been reporting from New York for the Süddeutsche Zeitung\, one of Germany’s leading newspapers\, about everything from punk rock to the Berlin Philharmonic\, and from sneakers to trigger warnings. He is the author of several books\, including the novel Gran Via (2009)\, and Blühende Landschaften: Eine Heimatkunde (2006).\n\nRichter’s reading from his novel (English summaries will be provided)\, will be followed by a discussion – in English – with Prof. Johannes von Moltke and a Q&A with the audience.

Prior literature has found it challenging to meaningfully account for and causally estimate these general equilibrium effects. I develop a novel general equilibrium model and derive sufficient statistics that capture the economic consequences of a countrywide schooling initiative implemented by the Indian government. I causally estimate the parameters of the model using a Regression Discontinuity design. The general equilibrium effects are substantial and have important implications for researchers and policymakers that consider scaling up micro-interventions.

Qur’anic Paradigms and Analogies in Caliphal Rhetoric DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 15. \n\nFrom the earliest years of the Caliphate until today\, Muslim politicians have made strategic reference to the Qur’an in order to persuade audiences of the moral value of particular allegiances\, attitudes\, and actions\, and to imbue their rhetoric with an aura of sacred authority. This lecture draws on examples from early-medieval caliphal politics\, including texts associated with the war between the partisans of `Ali and Mu`awiya (ca. 656-660) and the promulgation of the famous mihna of al-Ma’mun (ca. 833)\, to explain how Qur’anic referencing functions as rhetorical analogy (qiyas) by establishing likeness between paradigmatic character types in the Qur’an and actors in the socio-political milieu. Working from classical Arabo-Islamic rhetorical theories (e.g. al-Farabi and Ibn Rushd)\, the speaker will introduce the two basic classes of rhetorical analogy—the example (mithal) and the enthymeme (?amir)—and explain their operations in Qur’anicized rhetoric and their implications for perceived “universal principles” in the Qur’an—a crucial\, if elusive\, hermeneutical category for many Qur’an exegetes. Analysis of Qur’anic referencing in caliphal rhetoric helps us better understand the practical impact of scriptural hermeneutics on the shaping of Islamic moral ideology.\n\nVanessa De Gifis is associate professor of Islamic studies at Wayne State University\, and author of Shaping a Qur’anic Worldview: Scriptural Hermeneutics and the Rhetoric of Moral Reform in the Caliphate of al-Ma’mun (Routledge\, 2014).

In some ways\, ideas about race are always a set of narratives about who people are and are not. But sometimes these take the form of classic stories with fixed characters\, plots\, and morals\, and are passed on across generations and in multiple genres. The stories surrounding “el Negro Raúl\,” an Afro-Argentine man who rose to fame in early twentieth-century Buenos Aires\, illuminate the special power of narrative\, with its blend of affective and cognitive persuasion\, to shape racial attitudes. Raúl’s life and semi-fictional afterlives\, which commentators construed as oddities in a homogenously white nation\, also shed light on the construction and meanings of dominant racial ideologies in Argentina since the early 1900s. \n\nPaulina L.

My main research interest is the automatic analysis of human behavior during real-world interactions between human-human and human-machine. In particular my PhD work focuses on developing systems for automatic sensing\, quantification\, and interpretation of an individual’s emotion based on their face and voice during dyadic (two-person) interaction. Any human-human or human-machine interactions evoke and involve affective and social signals\, such as emotion\, social attitude\, engagement\, conflict\, and persuasion. These signals can be inferred from both verbal and nonverbal human behavior\, such as words\, head and body movements\, facial expressions\, tone of voice\, eye gaze\, and turn taking. The signals profoundly influence the overall outcome of interactions\, and hence the understanding of these signals will enable us to build human-centered interactive technology tailored to an individual user’s needs\, preferences\, and capabilities.

(Or Just Teach You Stuff?) DESCRIPTION:Dr. Richard E. Nisbett is the author of \"Intelligence and How to Get It\" and \"Mindware: Tools for Smart Thinking.\"\n\nFor 2500 years\, educators were confident that education not merely taught people useful facts and procedures for solving particular problems\, but made people smarter in general. 20th century psychologists were dubious that there was much “transfer” of abilities taught in the classroom to the infinite variety of problems encountered in everyday life. The debate now centers on what is called “critical thinking skills.” Current evidence that higher education produces much in the way of critical thinking skills is mixed at best. But is college getting a bum rap? Is there a more optimistic story to be told – one more in the line with what thinkers from Plato to Dewey believed? And what would we have to do to be certain that college students were really smarter on the way out than they were on the way in?\n\nThis lecture is part of the Department of Psychology's Exploring the Mind Lecture Series.

Since releasing their first album\, 2005’s \"Washed In Blue\,\" Drew and his band The Neighbors (Ellie Holcomb\, Nathan Dugger\, Rich Brinsfield) have toured with The Avett Brothers\, Ryan Adams\, Los Lobos\, and The North Mississippi Allstars\, among others. Drew comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Medicine\,\" containing 12 songs that deal with loyalty\, hardship\, marriage\, friendship\, feeling like an outsider\, and wrestling with God. Penny & Sparrow\, the Swell Season- and Bon Iver-influenced Texas duo of Andy Baxter and Kyle Jahnke\, open the show.

Composer John Luther Adams will be in residence for the rehearsals and performance of his Become Ocean\, winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize and the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition. This undulating\, contemplative piece for three orchestras has become a phenomenon among audiences and orchestras. The title comes from John Cage’s homage to the music of composer Lou Harrison: “Listening to it we become ocean.” It also refers to the environment as Adams notes in the score: “Life on this earth first emerged from the sea. As the polar ice melts and sea level rises\, we humans find ourselves facing the prospect that once again we may quite literally become ocean.”\n\nPROGRAM: Mendelssohn- Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage\; Bruch- Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor\, Danielle Belen\, violin\; John Luther Adams- Become Ocean UID:23523-1423987@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/23523 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20151015T180014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20151015T213000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20151015T233000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Scrimmage vs. Victory Honda Sr. B DESCRIPTION:Scrimmage before fall break!!
