DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

Now located in Traverse City\, Michigan\, Palmer creates fish sculptures using crutches and paddles for bases. He then makes fins\, teeth\, tails\, and eyes from unique items and fills in the form with found objects. Before retirement\, he was a teacher and school administrator\, and he holds a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership.

The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music. Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987.

Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\, in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

Figurski focuses his gaze on the ways in which his subjects’ relationship to faith are transformed through the act of pilgrimage and through the encounter with sacred spaces. He is particularly interested in the intrusion of the quotidian into the realm of the sacred.\n\nWhile the exhibition deals primarily with religious life in Figurski’s native Poland\, the artist brilliantly captures Eastern Europe’s diverse religious worlds\, tracing a plurality of spiritual paths\, whether in the pilgrimages of Hasidic Jews to Lezajsk\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\n\nReligious life in that part of the world is sociologically interesting and aesthetically arresting. It is this intersection of the social and aesthetic domains that make Figurski’s photographs so captivating.\n\nPawel Figurski is a graduate of the prestigious Lodz film school. He has shot and directed music videos\, television serials and documentary films\, for which he received several awards\, including an Emmy (2005). For almost a decade (2002-2011)\, he documented Jewish life in Eastern Europe as part of the Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories at Indiana University. Figurski's photography\, in Converging Paths\, explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies.

It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\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.

With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes. He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people. With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

Specifically\, the presentation will 
 review the current definitions and prevalence rates of violence\, delve into the socio-cultural factors that contribute to sexual violence\, discuss theoretical frameworks that have been used 
to gain a broader understanding of sexual violence and critically examine prevention and intervention programs to combat it.\n\nDr. Michelle Munro-Kramer is Assistant Professor\, Department of Health Behavior and Biological Science\, U of M School of Nursing. Her program of research focuses on trauma\, comprehensive care of vulnerable populations and missed opportunities for care within domestic and international contexts.

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.

Dr. Obar will address “Preventing Big Data Discrimination: Addressing Flawed Notice and Choice Privacy Policy.” The program will shed light on how discrimination is unconsciously built into Big Data.\n\nAbstract:\nA 2014 White House Report on Big Data suggested that \"big data analytics have the potential to eclipse longstanding civil rights protections in how personal information is used in housing\, credit\, employment\, health\, education\, and the marketplace.\" In light of growing empirical evidence that forms of discrimination (including racial bias) may already be built-into a mosaic of Big Data approaches\, this presentation aims to address a first step for preventing Big Data discrimination. The central argument suggests that consistent and growing evidence that longstanding notice (i.e. privacy policies) and choice (i.e. user access and control of data) privacy policy is deeply flawed\, requiring that we both call attention to the failures of the model and propose alternatives. Results from an ongoing quantitative survey analysis co-authored with Dr. Anne Oeldorf-Hirsch (University of Connecticut) demonstrating the extent to which users ignore terms of service and privacy policies online will be presented to demonstrated notice policy flaws. The fallacy of data privacy self-management\, an argument recently published by Dr. Obar in \"Big Data and Society\,\" will be presented next to argue for flawed choice policy. Representative data management is offered as a pragmatic solution to the challenges faced. A number of startups in the infomediary market will be profiled to justify this proposal.\n\nBio: \nJonathan Obar is an assistant professor in the Communication and Digital Media Studies program at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology.

Altheimer Professor of Legal Advocacy\; Professor\, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences\n\nMedical error is estimated to be a cause of more than 100\,000 deaths annually in the U.S. Similarly\, blunders at some of Japan’s most famous hospitals led to a national uproar in the early years of the 21st century. Media attention to the problems of medical error has tailed off in both countries\, but the problems remain. Leflar’s interviews with Japanese patients and families\, doctors\, judges\, lawyers\, prosecutors\, journalists\, and health policy officials form the background for his analysis of the politics of a little-known recent reform of Japan’s dysfunctional system of peer review of medical errors – a reform engaging the national political parties in surprising ways\, leading to 2014 legislation setting out a new structure for peer review nationwide. The health ministry is now struggling to implement the new system. Leflar contrasts the Japanese approaches to U.S. responses to medical quality problems\, from \"tort reform\" to Obamacare.Professor Rob Leflar's teaching and research focus on torts\, health law\, and related fields. Professor Leflar earned his bachelor's\, J.D.\, and master's in public health from Harvard University. Prior to teaching law\, he clerked for Judge George Edwards on the U.S. Court of Appeals\, Sixth Circuit\, and was a staff attorney for Public Citizen Health Research Group in Washington\, D.C. He is a member of the bars of Arkansas\, the District of Columbia\, and the U.S. Supreme Court.\n\nProfessor Leflar has been awarded several fellowships for study in Japan\, including a Fulbright grant\, Japan Foundation fellowship\, and grants from the Center for Global Partnership and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. His current research project compares medical quality control and injury compensation in Japan and the United States. He has lectured\, often in Japanese\, at Tokyo University and other universities in Japan and at Harvard University\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and several international conferences. He has published articles about Japan in American\, Japanese\, and European journals. His book (in Japanese) on the development of informed consent in Japanese medicine and law was published in 2002.

Mrozek on Trial: On the Short Plays of Slawomir Mrozek DESCRIPTION:In translating Mrozek’s plays\, especially The Police (1958)\, theoretical and aspirational concerns collide. Mrozek was insistent upon the primacy of the pure textuality of the play\, yet his plays’ reception and significance depended upon a political context decidedly different from the contemporary American one. The case of The Police\, Mrozek’s first play\, represents a striking example of the probative value of translation in laying bare the extratextual and contextual factors that silently enable a seemingly pure textuality. This investigation is an outgrowth of a collaboration with Chicago’s Chopin Theatre\, which aspires to sway college theater departments to use Mrozek’s shorts as part of their curriculum of exercises and eventually\, part of their repertoires.\n\nJoanna Trzeciak Huss is associate professor in modern and classical language studies at Kent State University. Her research areas include Nabokov as a self-translating author\, the relationship between Polish poetry and philosophy\, and Polish theatre. Her translations of Polish and Russian literature have appeared in The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, Times Literary Supplement\, Harpers\, The Atlantic\, Paris Review\, Field\, Czas Kultury\, Zvezda\, Boston Review\, nonsite\, and New Ohio Review\, among others.

'85\, LL.D. Hon '13) will give a talk about the influence of his liberal arts degree on his career\, his entrepreneurial spirit\, and his ideas about leadership. Following the talk\, there will be an open question-and-answer session.\n\nRemind yourself with Facebook: http://myumi.ch/aVRAw\n\nCostolo\, who graduated with a degree in computer and communication sciences from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\, began his career unconventionally\, turning down job offers in his field to study improvisational theater at Second City in Chicago. During his time there\, he noticed enormous potential for the internet—which was then just beginning to blossom. He harnessed his entrepreneurial spirit to start and later sell three companies\, including FeedBurner\, which he sold to Google for $100 million. Costolo became the CEO of Twitter in 2010. After presiding over the company's meteoric growth\, Costolo departed in 2015 and is now on the board of directors of Patreon\, a tech startup that helps artists raise money for their creative projects. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

Few of us\, however\, would advocate conservation done in the absence of sound ecological science. I explore this paradox in the context of the Old World tropics\, drawing primarily on my research in Indonesian Borneo. First\, I consider the spatial distribution of research effort across African and Asian protected areas and discuss why it limits the practical relevance of much ecological work. I then discuss why\, despite their limitations\, long-term ecological studies are vitally important for effective conservation in the tropics. Empirical examples focus on life-history\, habitat selection\, and source-sink population dynamics in endangered Asian apes.

Immigration\, political and social reform\, and shifting notions of race\, gender\, and class shaped its significance. The complexity of individual biography can help us understand how Pastor (born Rose Harriet Weislander in the Russian Pale) and Phelps-Stokes (Yale graduate\, non-practicing physician\, president of Phelps-Stokes Corporation\, scion of a New York City “Four Hundred” family) embraced the marriage and Progressivism\, believing their relationship represented the latter. What conditions of possibility produced and authorized this partnership?\n\nProfessor Morantz-Sanchez began researching and teaching women's history in 1971\, during the early stages of its development as a field. She also participated in helping to establish new approaches to the social history of medicine and her scholarship has contributed to the growth of each of these fields over the last thirty years. Her emphasis has always been on their interconnection as well as their relevance to mainstream approaches to history. She has also maintained a special interest in history of the family\, childhood and adolescence and in cultural history in general. She has taught courses on the graduate and undergraduate level on gender\, race\, and class and stresses the importance of a multicultural perspective in the teaching and writing of history.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Using the equalizing force of sampling\, he crafts compositions that surprise in their associative potential and walk the tightrope between identity politics\, social practice and abstraction. Newsome has exhibited and performed in galleries\, museums\, institutions\, and festivals throughout the world\, including The Whitney Museum (NYC)\, Brooklyn Museum (NYC)\, MoMAPS1 (NYC)\, SFMOMA (CA)\, New Orleans Museum of Art (LA)\, Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris\, France)\, and the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture (Moscow\, Russia).
