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.

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: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:Exhibition:The Land of Open Graves: Photographs from the Undocumented Migration Project
DESCRIPTION:This pop-up exhibition features Michael Wells' original photographs of Jason De Leon's Undocumented Migration Project\, which was the subject of a 2013 exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities gallery. The photographs were featured in De León's new book The Land of Open Graves Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nIn his gripping and provocative debut\, anthropologist Jason De León sheds light on one of the most pressing political issues of our time—the human consequences of US immigration policy.  The Land of Open Graves reveals the suffering and deaths that occur daily in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona as thousands of undocumented migrants attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the United States.\nJason De León is assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan and director of the Undocumented Migration Project\, a long-term anthropological study of clandestine border crossings between Mexico and the United States. His academic work has been featured in numerous media outlets\, including National Public Radio\, the New York Times Magazine\, Al Jazeera\, The Huffington Post\, and Vice magazine. In 2013\, De León was named a National Geographic Emerging Explorer.\n\nMichael Wells has served as the primary photographer for the Undocumented Migration Project since its inception in 2009 and has photographed that project’s ethnographic and archaeological fieldwork in Arizona\, New York\, Mexico\, and Ecuador. A Los Angeles-based photographer\, his work focuses on how people engage with built and natural environments with a unique eye for the materiality of these spaces. He has created photography projects on post-Katrina New Orleans\, the physicality of the US-Mexico border in Southern Arizona and California\, amateur Latino soccer leagues in Los Angeles\, and Latino Communities in the American South. His diverse body of work has been featured in a wide range of media outlets including Architectural Digest\, Archaeology Magazine\, Domus\, Dwell\, Cabinet\, National Geographic\, National Public Radio\, and Textfield. His book publications include Municipal De Futbol (2008) Denim Legends (2008)\, The Legendary Estates of Beverly Hills (2009)\, and Windsor Smith Homefront (2015).

SUMMARY:Presentation:Population Studies Center Brown Bag Series 2015-16
DESCRIPTION:From the passage of the country's first sterilization law in Indiana in 1907 until the 1960s approximately 60\,000 people were sterilized based on eugenic criteria that sought to regulate the reproduction of the \"unfit\" and mentally deficient. California performed about 20\,000\, or one-third\, of all documented sterilizations nationwide. Few empirical historical analyses of this practice are available. In 2007\, while conducting historical research at the Department of Mental Health (now Department of State Hospitals) in Sacramento\, Dr. Stern located 19 microfilm reels from this era that contain 15\,000 sterilization recommendations along with supplemental letters and forms from nine state hospitals (in total\, over 30\,000 individual documents). Over the past two years Dr. Stern and her team have created a de-identified HIPAA-compliant data set of these recommendations\, which date from 1921 to 1952. We are now beginning to realize quantitative analyses with the eugenic sterilization dataset\, which contains 212 coded variables\, to describe trends in sterilization over time and to describe patterns of sterilization according to gender\, age\, ethnicity\, nationality\, diagnosis\, institutional home\, and many other variables. We also are linking the eugenic sterilization dataset to individual-level census microdata and tract-level census reports\, which will allow us to calculate population-based estimates of sterilization rates and test hypotheses about the associations of gender\, age\, ethnicity\, nationality\, and diagnosis with the risk of sterilization. For example\, we hypothesize that teenagers and Spanish-surnamed patients were disproportionately sterilized in California institutions. In addition\, we will analyze qualitative patterns in the data with respect to familial resistance to sterilization\, patient refusal\, and experiences of institutionalization and sterilization. This project combines quantitative and qualitative methods\, and is exploring new avenues for presenting big data through data visualization on an online archive under development.\n\n\nAlexandra Minna Stern\, Ph.D. is Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology\, American Culture\, History\, and Women's Studies at the University of Michigan. There she is a core faculty member in the Latina/o Studies Program\; the Science\, Technology\, and Society Program\; directs the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies/Brazil Initiative and co-directs the Reproductive Justice Faculty Program at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Her research has focused on the uses and misuses of genetics in the United States and Latin America. She is the author of Eugenic Nation: Faults and Frontiers of Better Breeding in Modern America (University of California Press\, 2005)\, which won the American Public Health Association's Arthur Viseltear Award for outstanding contribution to the history of public health. Her latest book\, Telling Genes: The Story of Genetic Counseling in America (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2012) is a Choice 2013 Outstanding Academic Title in Health Sciences. She has held numerous grants for her work in medical history and health policy\, including from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, National Institutes of Health\, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. She is currently leading a project to create a dataset of 15\,000 eugenic sterilization orders processed by the state of California in the 20th century and is principal investigator on a Ford Foundation grant to assess the status of reproductive rights and justice organizations and issues in Michigan.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral\, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMore than half a century after the first experiment on the infinitely repeated prisoner's dilemma\, evidence on whether cooperation decreases with experience\, as predicted by backward induction\, remains inconclusive. This talk provides a meta-analysis of prior experimental research and reports the results of a new experiment to elucidate how cooperation varies with the environment in this canonical game. Professor Frechette will describe forces that affect initial play (formation of cooperation) and unraveling (breakdown of cooperation). First\, contrary to the backward induction prediction\, the parameters of the repeated game have a significant effect on initial cooperation. Professor Frechette will identify how these parameters impact the value of cooperation as captured by the size of the basin of attraction of Always Defect to account for an important part of this effect. Second\, despite differences in round one behavior\, for all parameter combinations\, evolution of behavior is consistent with the unraveling logic of backward induction. Importantly\, despite the seemingly contradictory results across studies\, Professor Frechette will reveal a systematic pattern of behavior: Subjects converge to using threshold strategies which conditionally cooperate until a threshold round\; and conditional on using cooperative threshold strategies\, the first defection round moves earlier with experience. This finding\, combined with the impact of the value of cooperation on initial cooperation explain how results can vary across studies. Simulation results generated from a learning model estimated at the subject level provide insights on the long-term dynamics and the forces slowing down unraveling of cooperation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:(Registration link under \"Web and Social\" at the bottom of the page)\n\nGain inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in people. Join us at the Positive Links Speaker Series to learn from leading Positive Organizational scholars. Connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders at our receptions that immediately follow each session.\n\nHOSTED BY: Jane Dutton\, the Robert L. Kahn Distinguished University Professor of Business Administration and Psychology at Michigan Ross\n\nSESSION DESCRIPTION: Organizations are fundamentally patterns of interrelating\, reinforced by structures and work processes.  It's no wonder they are hard to change.  In this presentation\, Brandeis University Professor Jody Hoffer Gittell will introduce relational coordination as a tool for both research and practice. She will share live case studies illustrating how organizations use relational coordination principles and measures as tools for change\, and then conclude with a Relational Model for Organizational Change.\n\nJODY HOFFER GITTELL\, PhD\, is a professor at Brandeis University's Heller School for Social Policy and Management\, and a leading expert on relational coordination and organizational performance. She founded the Relational Coordination Research Collaborative\, bringing scholars and practitioners together to help organizations build relational coordination for high performance. She co-founded a university spinoff called Relational Coordination Analytics Inc.\, offering measurement and intervention support to organizations seeking to improve their performance\, and serves as its Chief Scientific Officer.\n\nGittell's research explores how workers\, leaders\, and customers contribute to quality and efficiency outcomes through their coordination with each other. She has developed a theory of relational coordination\, proposing that highly interdependent work is most effectively coordinated through relationships of shared goals\, shared knowledge\, and mutual respect supported by frequent\, timely\, accurate\, and problem-solving rather than blaming communication. Research demonstrates that relational coordination is associated with a wide range of performance outcomes\, and that organizations can support it through the design of their work systems. The RC survey\, a validated instrument that is widely used for research as well as practice\, assesses dynamics among participants and opens up dialogues to foster fundamental organizational change.\n\nIn The Southwest Airlines Way: Using the Power of Relationships to Achieve High Performance(McGraw-Hill)\, and in High Performance Healthcare: Using the Power of Relationships to Achieve Quality\, Efficiency and Resilience (McGraw-Hill)\, Gittell describes how relational coordination drives performance in airlines and in healthcare\, and how organizations support - or undermine - its development. In Up In the Air: How the Airlines Can Improve Performance by Engaging Their Employees (Cornell University Press)\, co-authored with Bamber\, Kochan and von Nordenflycht\, she analyzes the transformation of the global airline industry in response to low cost competition. Sociology of Organizations: Structures and Relationships (Sage Publications) brings together classic and new authors to show how structures and relationships enable organizations to address their most basic challenges. Her newest book\, Relational Coordination: Transforming Relationships for High Performance (Stanford University Press) demonstrates how relational\, work process\, and structural interventions work together synergistically to enable organizations to achieve sustainable systemic change.\n\nGittell has published her research in scientific journals such as Academy of Management Review\, Organization Science\, Management Science\, Journal of Applied Behavioral Science\, Journal of Organizational Behavior\, Journal of Service Research\, Journal of Management Studies\, Human Resource Management\, Human Resource Management Journal\, International Journal of Human Resource Management\, Industrial and Labor Relations Review\, Harvard Business Review\, California Management Review\, Medical Care\, Health Services Research\, Health Care Management Review\, Journal of Nursing Management\, and Journal of Early Childhood Research.\n\nGittell has won a Best Book Award from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation\, a Best Paper award from the Human Resource Division of the Academy of Management\, the Douglas McGregor Memorial Award for Best Paper of the Year in the Journal of Applied Behavioral Science\, and an Honorable Mention for the Douglas McGregor Memorial Award for Best Paper on Organizational Change. She was selected Outstanding Young Scholar of the Year by the Labor and Employment Relations Association.\n\nGittell received her PhD from the MIT Sloan School of Management\, her MA from The New School and her BA from Reed College\, and taught for six years at the Harvard Business School before joining the faculty of Brandeis University. She has served as Chair of the Board for Families First Health and Support Center\, as MBA Program Director at the Brandeis Heller School\, and as Acting Director of the MIT Leadership Center. She now serves on the boards of the Labor and Employment Relations Association and the Endowment for Health\, and on the editorial board for the Academy of Management Review. She lives in Portsmouth\, New Hampshire with her husband Ross and their daughters Rose and Grace.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public. Most sessions are live-streamed via a link from our Events page\, and then a listing is added to our Videos page post-session. For more information\, visit poslinksseries.com.\n\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks Diane & Paul F. Jones (Ross School of Business MBA 1975)\, for their generous gift in support of the 2015-16 Positive Links Speaker Series.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dilip Menon\, Mellon Chair in Indian Studies\, Director of the Centre for Indian Studies in Africa\, University of Witwater\n\nSouth Asian history after the subaltern moment has moved to a writing of the intellectual history of colonial India. While at one level this signifies an attempt to take seriously forms of intellection by indigenous intellectuals\, in its form and method it may signify a return to an elite history that privileges elite thought\, national identity\, and a hermetic understanding of writing and texts over the contextual and miscegenated spaces of historical imagination. Moreover\, it continues with the dichotomy instituted by subaltern history of doing elite thought and subaltern action. Menon suggests we need to look at the idea of itinerant thought\, of the circular relation between text and contexts and the necessarily transnational space of intellection.\n\nThe space within which power is conceptualized is multiple\, contingent and miscegenated. While researching anti-Christian missionary polemic in late 19th century in Kerala through the writings of a religious figure Chattampi Svamikal\, it became clear to Menon that not only were several conceptions of power involved here but also differing conceptions of territory. The enterprise of colonial history writing had created a unilinear narrative of native political and social decline within a territory produced and defined by conquest. Chattampi Swamikal attempted to recover religious traditions not only from a larger Dravidian space to counter this delimiting of territory\; he also drew upon the circulation of polemic generated by centuries of Protestant-Catholic conflict in Europe as much as rationalist critiques of the very idea of Christianity itself proceeding from the Enlightenment. Added to this mix were the Hindu apologetics generated by Brahmin intellectuals in Jaffna\, Bengal\, and Maharashtra which drew upon indigenous philosophical traditions as much as the detritus of intra-Christian debate. Pilgrimages\, itinerant preaching\, pamphleteering and the movements of labour from SE Asia and Ceylon carried these debates across political\, religious and linguistic boundaries.\n\nDilip Menon studied in Delhi\, Oxford (Balliol) and Cambridge (Trinity) and was a Fellow of Magdalene College Cambridge before returning to India to take up teaching posts and fellowships in Trivandrum\, Hyderabad and Delhi. He has held postdoctoral and teaching positions at Cambridge\, Yale\, Zentrum fur Moderner Orient (Berlin)and Maison des Science de les Hommes (Paris) and has published three books and several articles on caste\, socialism and modernity in India. Menon is currently working on a book project on the historical imagination in South India between 1860 and 1960 to be titled \"Thinking History in Colonial Times.\" He is currently the Mellon Chair in Indian Studies\, and Director Centre for Indian Studies in Africa at the University of Witwatersrand.\n\nCosponsored by the African Studies Center.
