SUMMARY:Exhibition:CMENAS Special Event: This\, too\, is Iran
DESCRIPTION:In May 2015\, Sally Bjork\, photographer at the U-M Department of the History of Art’s Visual Resources Collections\, took part in a 16-day tour through major cities and regions of Iran led by U-M Professor of Near Eastern and Classical Art and Archaeology\, Margaret Cool Root\, for the Archaeological Institute of America. Bjork’s participation was made possible by monies from the Freer Fund of the Department of the History of Art.  Her charge was to photograph sites\, monuments\, and artworks as well as urban and rural scenes\, landscapes\, people\, and life textures that can be used for research and teaching amongst numerous disciplines. The result is some 8\,000 images that celebrate life\, vibrancy\, and color\, as well as Iranian traditions of art and design stretching back through the centuries.  The collection will ultimately be available to the University and beyond via the U-M Digital Library.  \n\nBjork has selected various images from this extensive collection to create an exhibit that offers a broadened perspective on Iran for an American audience. These photographs speak not of governments\, but of the culture\, heritage\, and humanity of a country and its diverse peoples. \n\nOrganized by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, this exhibition is made possible by the Department of Anthropology\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Department of the History of Art (Freer Fund)\, the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, and the University of Michigan Detroit Center. Additional support has been provided by an anonymous donor’s fund for the study of Iranian art.\n\nPhoto Exhibit\nOctober 27-November 13\, 2015 • 8:00 am - 6:00 pm\nInternational Institute Gallery (1st Floor)\, 1080 S. University Ave.\n\nCMENAS Forum: an informal discussion with Sally Bjork\nNovember 2\, 1:00 pm\nInternational Institute (1636 SSWB)\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Stories of Mothers Lost
DESCRIPTION:Every minute of every day\, a woman dies of pregnancy related complications. Stories of Mothers Lost\, an exhibit of handmade quilts from around the world now on display in Lane Hall\, memorializes some of these women.\n\nThe exhibit was initiated by the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (WRA)\, a non-profit membership based organization\, whose goal is to reduce rates of maternal and child mortality. The initiative to obtain these stories was made possible by a United Nations Population Fund grant to the WRA. Following a global call\, there was an overwhelming response of 120 panels from 46 organizations. Stories of Mothers Lost -  a collection of internationally sourced\, hand crafted panels commemorating mothers lost – allows families to express grief and also plays a powerful role as a mechanism for advocacy and communication on an issue that transcends country borders and impacts us all.  \n\nStories of Mothers Lost is supplied by the UM Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and its Program in Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice. The exhibit is hosted by the Women’s Studies Department and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.\n\nStories of Mothers Lost is in Lane Hall through December 11\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Light Within the Darkness of Nature: Oil on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Using palette knives and an intuitive response to her oil paints and surface\, painter Sheryl Budnik first looks carefully at the land or sea\, noticing her emotional response. She paints what she feels is the heart of a place\, finding \"the light within the darkness of nature”\, or Lumen Naturae. This refers to Paracelsus’ Middle Ages idea that the light in nature allows inspiration and intuition to rise from the subconscious. Budnik evokes a memory of land or water with her abstract paintings in order to connect us with the spirit of the earth and leave us with an awareness that we are all nature.

DESCRIPTION:Returning Gifts of Art exhibiting artist Mary Cody designs colorful jewelry with a subtle message meant to inspire creativity and hope. She freely combines tiny 24 kt gold\, palladium and glass beads in her original weavings by \"picking up the pieces\,\" a look that came by accident after costly beads scattered across the floor. Cody sees her work as representing the lessons in our lives – how unforeseen events are often prior to beautiful blessings. Her bead woven jewelry has been in fine art shows from Ann Arbor\, Michigan to Bellevue\, Washington and has been described as miniature works of stained glass.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Color of U-M Sports: Helicopter Photography
DESCRIPTION:As perhaps the world’s only artist-photographer who works primarily from a helicopter\, Dale Fisher captures and transforms his subjects using color\, light and shadows – all while skimming over his subjects at ground speeds of up to 120 miles per hour. In the US Navy\, he began shooting with a camera from the skies as an aerial reconnaissance photographer. In the ‘60s\, Fisher traveled the country in a Ford pickup truck with a camper top darkroom\, towing a rather lengthy trailer with his helicopter. Now working in the digital format\, Fisher currently resides and has his studio on a 200 year old farm in Grass Lake\, Michigan\, and his work can be found in public and private collections across the country.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Spirit of Place: Oil Paintings
DESCRIPTION:A full time painter\, Laurie Schirmer Carpenter studied art at the University of Colorado\, Denver but has deep ties to the Midwest. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Sonya Clark\" Installation
DESCRIPTION:In \"Sonya Clark\,\" artist and 2014 ArtPrize-winner Sonya Clark exhibits existing and new work which considers the relationship between object and story\, including a new work that incorporates personal stories about hair derived from student engagement at the University of Michigan and from campuses nationwide.\n\nArtist Statement:\n\nI use craft and materials to investigate identity. Simple objects become cultural interfaces. Through them I navigate accord and discord. When trying to unravel complex issues\, I am instinctively drawn to things that connect to my personal narrative as a point of a departure: a comb\, a piece of paper\, or a strand of hair. Charged with agency\, objects have the mysterious ability to reflect or absorb us.  I find my image\, my personal story\, in an object. But it is also the object’s ability to act as a rhizome\, the multiple ways in which it can be discovered or read by a wide audience\, that draws me in. To sustain my practice\, I milk the object\, its potential\, its image\, and its materiality. I manipulate the object in a formal manner to engage the viewer in conversation about collective meaning. Can systematically folded paper effectively use light and shadow in the same manner as an elaborately dyed cloth?  What is the connection between color studies\, combs\, and tapestries?  Can a strand of hair tell a life story? I trust that my stories\, your stories\, our stories are held in the object. In this way\, the everyday “thing” becomes a lens through which we may better see one another.  A visual vocabulary derived from object and image forms a language ranging from the vernacular to the political to the poetic.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Common Room: An EMU/Stamps Faculty Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Common Room finds connections between a selection of artists from the art department faculties of Eastern Michigan University and the Stamps School of Art and Design. Working alongside Curator Laura Mott\, student curatorial interns from both universities conducted research on the artwork of all full-time faculty. The premise of the exhibition was created based on the discovery of common interests between many artists into other fields of study—biology\, sociology\, psychology\, economy\, technology\, ecology\, politics\, and social justice. The artworks in the exhibition incorporate knowledge and/or aesthetics from these disciplines\, which are as diverse as the academic offerings on the respective campuses.\n\nThe theme is complemented by the exhibition design. Slusser Gallery at Stamps School of Art and Design has been divided and reimagined as other rooms: The Living Room\, The Greenhouse\, The Laboratory\, The Annex. Each room contains artworks that could conceivably or conceptually exist within these spaces.  The exhibition speaks to artistic research into expanded fields of inquiry\, and furthermore\, how art contributes to larger questions about contemporary life and society.\n\nCurated by Laura Mott\, Curator of Contemporary Art and Design at Cranbrook Art Museum\, with curatorial interns Francesca Kielb (UofM)\, Lauren Mleczko (EMU)\, and Emily Weir (EMU).\n\nExhibition Dates: October 21 - November 14\, 2015\nReception: Friday\, November 6\, 6-9 pm\nSlusser Gallery\, 1st Floor Art & Architecture Building\nGallery Hours: Monday through Friday: 9 am - 5 pm\, Saturday: 12 - 5 pm. \nClosed Sundays and Holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Women in Science
DESCRIPTION:Colorful comic book graphics in this panel exhibit invite young U-M Museum of Natural History visitors from every background to see themselves working in STEM fields (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics)\, and changing the world.\n\nDeveloped by Ann Marie Macara\, a fifth-year graduate student in the U-M Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\, the exhibit features four women scientists whose work had a major impact in their fields. These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n  \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Secularization as Historical Process Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The historical concept of “secularization” is a freighted and contested one\, linked but not identical to other presumed historical processes such as “modernization” and “Westernization.” In recent years\, the dichotomy of sacred and secular has been challenged by reconceptualizations coming out of intellectual history and philosophy as well as anthropology\, religious studies\, and neighboring disciplines.  Etymologically and culturally emerging out of a European and Christian frame\, much recent thinking has considered how the notion of the secular and of secularization as process is reconfigured when considered within Islamic\, Jewish\, Hindu\, and other faith systems.  Our goal in this symposium will be to bring together varying disciplinary perspectives on this key historical problem.  Participants will focus on the ways in which the notion of secularization itself has represented an intersection of different cultural and theoretical approaches\, the mutual interactions of different traditions\, and the shifting boundaries of practices and subjectivities.\n\nSession papers can be viewed on this link: \nhttps://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0B33NPIlAQch3Zjc2QVpEOWRkakk\n\nSchedule: \n\n9:45 - 10:00 AM       	Introduction – Jeffrey Veidlinger\, Scott Spector\n\n10:00 AM - 12:00 PM      Session I:  Interwar Philosophies and Phantasies of the Secular and the Sacred\nChair:  Hussein Fancy\, University of Michigan\n\nMarc Caplan\, Frankel Institute\, University of Michigan\n“A Disenchanted Elijah: Language\, Voice\, and the Dissimulation of Self in S.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Population Studies Center Brown Bag Series 2015-16
DESCRIPTION:After decades of research on the transmission of socio-economic status from parents to their children\, there is growing interest in the extent to which these transmission processes extend beyond two generations. For instance\, how similar is the socio-economic attainment of individual not only to that of their parents but also their grandparents? This talk provides new estimates of three-generational associations for a broad range of socio-economic outcomes\, namely education\, occupation\, earnings\, income and wealth\, based on data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). I apply two complementary approaches\, one \"horizontal\"\, which estimates cousin correlations (the three-generational equivalent to sibling correlations) and captures the overall degree of inequality in opportunity related to grandparental origins\; and one \"vertical\" to trace these multigenerational influences to specific socio-economic characteristics of grandparents. Also\, I begin to document sources of heterogeneity in multigenerational associations that point towards some of the underlying social mechanisms.\n\n\nFabian Pfeffer received his Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is a tenure-track Research Assistant Professor at the Survey Research Center and a Co-Investigator of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. He has received funding for his research from the Russell Sage Foundation\, the Spencer Foundation\, the American Educational Research Association\, the Stanford Center for the Study of Poverty and Inequality\, and other sources.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Art of Tyree Guyton: A Thirty-Year Journey
DESCRIPTION:The Heidelberg Project is one of the largest\, best-known\, and longest-running site-specific art installations in the country. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Presentation: Marissa Perel
DESCRIPTION:Marissa Perel is an artist and writer based in New York. Her interdisciplinary work includes performance\, installation\, criticism and curatorial projects.  She often uses collaboration as a platform for the exchange of disciplines\, working methods and discourses with choreographers\, composers and visual artists.  She is interested in drawing from the polemics of identity and representation to create compositional models for performance and installation. She orchestrates an immersive world where text\, objects\, dance and video transmit experiences of personal and societal conflicts. Her materials are cathected objects\, cues that connect an immediate physical and psychic state to past events. Her work has been shown at numerous galleries\, theaters and performance spaces in the U.S. and abroad.\n\nPerel asks\, “How do we move across space and time with respect to our collected histories?” Her essays\, reviews\, experimental prose and interviews engage this question at the convergence of the fields of contemporary art and performance. She originated the column\, “Gimme Shelter: Performance Now” for Art21 Magazine and edited Critical Correspondence\, the on-line dance and performance journal of Movement Research. She also pursues this question in her curatorial work\, seeking to bring visibility to a multitude of forms and discourses. She has curated performances\, panels and talks at such venues as the New Museum\, New York Live Arts and at the Aux Performance Space at Vox Populi where she recently served as Curatorial Fellow.\n\nmarissaperel.com

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Canjiren > Canjichéngshì = Disabled Body > Disabled City
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Canjiren > Canjichéngshì = Disabled Body > Disabled City\, a talk by Robert Adams. \n\nAdams’ design-focused research on his recent trip to Beijing explores how approaches to disability and China’s rapid urbanization construct a cascading array of potential futures for the complex realities of living disabled in 21st century China. Adams has met with governmental officials at the China Disabled Persons Federation\, and several NGOs working on disability issues in Beijing. He is expanding his research in China to focus on issues of civic space and disability issues that reconsider new approaches for architecture. In his talk\, Adams will focus on his research with students in China.\n\nRobert Adams is an Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Michigan\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, Faculty Associate at the Lieberthal and Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\; and\, co-founder and design director at Adams + Gilpin Design Studio. He is a designer who makes things that seek to transform how we engage the physical world\, and his work has primarily taken the form of installations and exhibits in which artifacts\, constructed apparatuses\, and architectural spaces are used to reveal and interrogate the social\, political\, and experiential aspects of the public realm. His design research focuses on the intersection of architecture\, civic infrastructure and disability culture. Adams teaches design studio\, construction seminars\, and is one of the core faculty teaching in the M.Sc. Design Health program\; and\, he is a co-founder of B.A.S.E. Beijing Architecture Studio Enterprise. Currently Adams is designing a series of wearable technologies\, directing and producing a documentary film on disability culture in Beijing\, and designing an exhibition and stage-set for an operetta titled Wet the Ropes.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral\, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThere is broad consensus that the United States education system needs improvement. Yet\, efforts to understand the best ways to improve the system are disjoint. On one hand\, social scientists have studied issues such as leadership\, equality\, school-community trust\, neighborhood effects\, political power\, and other social factors that influence processes and outcomes in education systems. On the other hand\, operations scholars have looked at particular problems in education systems around resources\, such as school bus routing\, school districting\, and school system logistics. This disciplinary approach\, where social scientists focus on social issues and operations scholars focus on technical issues\, does not give full attention to the possibility that social and technical issues interact. This talk will focus on the interplay between social and technical issues in education systems through the lens of better understanding the important operational problems faced by teachers\, school principals\, and other educational stakeholders. A field study of nine urban elementary schools\, involving over 90 interviews and 250 surveys\, will be discussed. Four socio-technical operational problems around resources in education systems will be illustrated by the field data\, exemplifying some of the ways interdisciplinary research can contribute to broader efforts to improve the United States education system.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dirty Bits: Environmental History of the Computer
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on concepts in environmental history\, this project surveys the multiple ways in which humans\, environment\, and information technology have been in interaction over the past several centuries\, from the lithium mines in post-colonial South America to \"server farms\" in the rural Pacific Northwest to the \"computer graveyards\" outside Agbogbloshie\, Ghana. The goal is to ground the history of information technology in the material world by focusing on the relationship between \"computing power\" and more traditional processes of resource extraction\, exchange\, management\, and consumption.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Man Inside the Mountain: Kingship and Masculinity in Medieval Persian Literature
DESCRIPTION:This talk is an inquiry into the complex subject of kingship in early Persian literature\, with a focus on the romance Vis & Ramin (w. ca. 1054). The royal figure of the story\, King Mobad\, appears on the surface to represent a travesty of sovereignty in all its manifest forms: an old man surrounded by younger rivals\, cuckolded by his younger brother\, made impotent by a nurse’s spell\, humiliated in battle by his own vassals. The magnitude of his many failures\, however\, somewhat overshadows a very interesting problem\, namely the difficulty of determining their cause. Failure is simultaneously omnipresent and nowhere: every juncture presents no viable alternatives for the king\, yet his every move contributes to a seemingly inevitable slide into disaster. In this talk\, we explore how this text probes the unstable ideology of kingship as an untenable concatenation of masculine prowess and symbolic authority\, an edifice that sows the seeds of its own destruction.

SUMMARY:Other:November General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Come listen to an awesome presentation by guest speaker Jason Gooding about personalized medicine from GeneSight!\"GeneSight is a genetic test that helps healthcare providers take a personalized approach to prescribing medicine for patients. Because genes influence the way a person’s body responds to specific medications\, they may not work the same for everyone. Using DNA gathered with a simple cheek swab\, GeneSight analyzes a patient’s genes and provides individualized information to help healthcare providers select medications that better match their patient’s genes. Multiple clinical studies have shown that when clinicians used GeneSight to help guide treatment decisions\, patients were twice as likely to respond to the selected medication.\" - genesight.comThis presentation typically lasts 45-60 mins.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carrigan Lecture: Patricia Shehan Campbell\, University of Washington
DESCRIPTION:With attention to the distinctive elements of ethnomusicology and music education as two important fields of scholarship and practice\, their overlapping and complementary manifestations (and influences of one field upon the other) are worthy of examination. Matters of diverse content in music curricular programs require the dovetailing of the two fields\, while an understanding of music and human learning demands scholars to criss-cross disciplines. Such intersections are evolving naturally and intentionally\, and the resulting perspectives are emerging in classrooms and communities as well as in thoughtful research on children’s musical cultures\, music cognition\, music-dance and mind-body dualities\, and world music pedagogy.

SUMMARY:Performance:Campus Symphony Orchestra and Campus Philharmonia Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Pre-concert lecture at 6:45 PM in the Lower Lobby. \n\nMélisse Brunet\, conductor\, Campus Symphony Orchestra\nDiego Piedra\, conductor\, Campus Philharmonia Orchestra\nTodd Craven\, Victor Huls\, Niklas Tamm\, and Rotem Wienberg\, assistant conductors.\n\nThe concert starts with an all dance inspired concert\, which includes Strauss’ Kaiser Waltz\, de Falla’s Ritual Fire Dance\, Fauré’s Pavane\, Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No.5\, and Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers. The second part of the concert features  a program that empowers life. The Magic Flute’s overture by Mozart opens in a mysterious and solemn atmosphere\, a conception of life throughout the freemasonic spirit that Mozart embraced. Les Préludes by Franz Liszt\, based on a poem by Lamartine\, brings us the transformation of one theme through many aspects of life: love\, country life\, and war. Danzón No.2 by Márquez ends the concert with an ode to life.
