SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Gathering of Friends: Linocut Prints
DESCRIPTION:Laura B. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Scenes in Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Splits & Music: Snowflake Paper Cuttings
DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music.

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. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Before the decline of its industrial landscape\, Lackawanna\, New York was a lively steel city that employed more than half its population at the Bethlehem Steel plant. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Converging Paths: The Photography of Pawel Figurski
DESCRIPTION:Converging Paths: The Photography of Pawel Figurski explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scent of a Beaver: An Installation by Kent Monkman
DESCRIPTION:Based on the rococo masterpiece The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard\, Scent of a Beaver is a sculptural installation that features the artist Kent Monkman’s alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle dangling on a swing between a French and English general. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ASP Workshop: Explorations in Translation Theory and Armenian Literature
DESCRIPTION:This workshop invites conversations surrounding the interdisciplinary field of Translation studies as it pertains to the transcultural analysis and translation of Armenian Literature. Seeking to move beyond purely prescriptive applications of translation\, interpretation\, and the localization of national literatures –and the mere translation of a “minor” literature into a major language –this workshop asks invited participants to explore question pertaining to their translations of Armenian literature\, under the umbrella of larger\, non-compartmentalized cultural and theoretical frameworks and disciplines such as comparative literature\, Mediterranean studies\, Post-colonial and Diaspora studies\, across all periods.  This workshop also considers questions pertaining to the ethics of semiotic and cultural translation\, and what ways (if possible) cultural nuances transform and translate across linguistic\, political\, and literary mediums.\n\nFriday\, February 19\n\n2609 International Institute\, 1080 S.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Soviet Constructivist Posters
DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series: The Passage of Time and the Cultural Psychology of Mental Health in Buddhist Thailand
DESCRIPTION:This talk will examine mental health and cultural notions of well-being in contemporary Buddhist Thailand. Drawing from ten years of fieldwork in a Northern Thai community I show how people perform rituals\, interpret experience\, and socially reinforce practices that are oriented around a Theravada Buddhist emphasis on change. A focus on the inevitable flow of time\, and the importance of realizing the fact of change\, are thought in the community to centrally connect to the concept of anicca\, or ‘impermanence’\, one of the Three Characteristics in Buddhism thought. Mindfulness (sati)\, karma (kam)\, spirit possession and more are interpreted through these logics of impermanence\, and are understood to influence what it means to be well. The more one is able to recognize the inevitability of change\, people tell me\, the more one crafts subjectivities that aspire to non-attachment\, calmness\, and the letting go of robust emotion. Working with\, and manipulating\, these cultural logics allow people to gain personal control and agency in their lives. The talk will focus especially on the mental health of one man in the community\, as he and his family struggle with his problems of addiction to alcohol\; I trace the development of the issue and the ways that people make sense of it\, from a local healer detaching the spirits of alcohol from the man’s body at the hospital to the proactive making of merit that connects giving to letting go. Based on my new book\, Living Buddhism: Mind\, Self and Emotion in a Thai Community (Cornell University Press\, 2015) the talk informs the study of culturally-informed subjective experience as part of the psychology of everyday life in today’s Thailand.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ELI Lecture Series: The Importance of Social Factors in L2 Pronunciation Learning
DESCRIPTION:The fact that adult second language learners rarely achieve native-like accents has often been explained by the influence of a critical period for pronunciation learning or the amount of experience that adult learners have with the L2. However\, previous research has also identified the importance of social factors as an explanation for why second language learners’ pronunciation often seems to fossilize. Dr. John Levis argues that attention to social factors is essential to more effective pronunciation teaching. After a review of research on how a variety of social factors appear to impact the ultimate success of pronunciation learning\, especially looking at factors like identity\, passing behaviors\, L1 and L2 speaker attitudes\, listener expectations\, and institutional discrimination\, Dr. Levis presents his own research about L2 learners’ feelings about the constraints of social factors on their own pronunciation. Finally\, he suggests several adjustments to language teaching that integrate social factors into L2 pronunciation pedagogy.\n\nBio\nJohn Levis is Professor of Applied Linguistics and TESL at Iowa State University. His articles on pronunciation and intonation have been published in a wide variety of professional journals. He is co-editor of the Phonetics and Phonology section of the Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics\, for Social Dynamics in Second Language Accent\, and for the Handbook of English Pronunciation. Dr. Levis also initiated the annual Pronunciation in Second Language Learning and Teaching Conference and is founding editor of the new Journal of Second Language Pronunciation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Phondi
DESCRIPTION:Spanish is often described as a language that lacks word-internal geminate consonants. This study explores an ongoing sound change in Andalusian Spanish whereby /ɾn/ and /ɾl/ sequences undergo gemination (i.e.\, [n:] and [l:]\, respectively)\, due to phonetic assimilation of clusters involving coronal sonorants. This change now creates a lexical contrast between non-geminate [n]/[l] and geminate [n:]/[l:] in pairs orthographically represented as pela ‘s/he peals’ - perla ‘pearl’\, cala ‘cove’ - Carla ‘Carla’\, and tono ‘tone’ - torno ‘window’\, among many others.  In this project we consider two acoustic parameters of this contrast: consonant duration and formant frequency (F1\, F2 & F3). \n\nIn Experiment 1\, 17 Andalusian speakers and 10 Castilian speakers participated in a carrier phrase reading task to test the acoustic differences between orthographic rl\, rn and l\, n sequences. The Andalusian speakers produced rl\, rn sequences as geminate [l:] and [n:]\, and their duration was nearly twice as long as non-geminate l\, n (ratio = 1.90). We also extracted duration values and formant frequencies of the vowels preceding and following these consonants\, but significant differences did not emerge in the singleton-geminate comparisons. On the other hand\, the Castilian speakers showed shorter [n] and [l] durations in rl\, rn sequences compared to l\, n\, indicating non-geminate production in both conditions. In Experiment 2\, 10 Andalusian speakers read sentences designed to test durational differences in lexical geminates (of the types identified in Experiment 1) and syntactic geminates. The results show non-significant differences between conditions\, adding further support to the claim that the only universal acoustic feature that we can reliably identify for geminates may be constriction duration (Kawahara\, 2015). To conclude\, we provide implications for the structural status of Andalusian geminates (including certain prosodic restrictions) and present ideas for an ongoing perception study.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Embodied Avatars: Genealogies of Black Feminist Art and Performance
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, Uri McMillan zeroes in on Nicki Minaj’s canny manipulation of her voice in her zesty cameo on Kanye West’s single “Monster”\; her thrilling scream in that song recalling antebellum circus exhibit Joice Heth’s earlier outburst\, indexes their shared wielding of grotesque aesthetics. Building off of art historian Kobena Mercer’s scholarship\, McMillan restages this term in the context of black women's slippery performance work and develops this term through Minaj’s artifice-laced performance in the music video accompaniment to Kanye West’s single\, a particularly fraught piece that was swiftly banned upon its release.\n\nUri McMillan is a cultural historian who researches and writes in the interstices between black cultural studies\, performance studies\, queer theory\, and contemporary art. His first book\, Embodied Avatars: Genealogies of Black Feminist Art and Performance (NYU\, 2015) is on black performance art\, objecthood\, and avatars staged by black women artists. He has published articles on performance art\, digital media\, hip-hop\, photography\, and nineteenth-century performance cultures in varied arenas such as Women and Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory\, Souls: A Critical Journal of Black Politics\, Culture\, and Society\, GLQ: A Journal of Gay and Lesbian Studies\, and e-misferica (all are available for download at urimcmillan.com). In addition\, he has lectured at art museums\, including MoMA PS1 and the Hammer Museum\, and published numerous essays on black contemporary art for the Studio Museum of Harlem. His work has been supported by the Ford Foundation and the Woodrow Wilson Foundation.\n\nBook sales available day of the event!\n\nRamp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Child Labor\, International Law\, and the Politics of Decolonization in Bolivia
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, Bolivia made international headlines when it passed a new Child and Adolescent Code that lowered the minimum age for work to 10 years\, in violation of international labor standards.  Proponents of the new law argue that children’s work is inevitable given widespread poverty\, and that requiring the Bolivian state to monitor this work will ensure children are protected from exploitation.  Critics argue that legalizing child labor not only exposes children to a range of hazards\, it impedes their education and hinders Bolivia’s development.  At the heart of this debate is the Union of Bolivian Child Workers (UNATSBO)\, who petitioned the Government for this right to work\, citing their dignity and their need to maintain family incomes.  Equally prominent is President Evo Morales\, who defended the UNATSBO’s demands in the name of Andean tradition.  Yet what are the dangers of championing children’s labor in the name of rights and dignity\, and of claiming that international labor standards are a Western imposition from which Bolivia needs to decolonize itself?  What political-economic\, ethnic\, and racial realities are elided when such complex matters are framed in these terms?  At the same time\, who should have the right to speak for whom?  And what viable options do children and the Bolivian state have in confronting this child labor/development challenge?  In this meeting of the Circulo Andino\, we invite scholars of the Andes to weigh in on these questions and learn about how this issue shapes international policy-making on Bolivia.\n\nRandall Hicks is an International Relations Officer at the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs. He works in research and policy initiatives on human rights issues in the global economy.  He conducts research and authors reports on child labor\, forced labor\, and human trafficking in Latin America and regularly travels to the region to engage foreign governments on these issues. He was an NSEP Boren Fellow and Fulbright-Hays Fellow\, and uses both Spanish and Quechua in his work. In addition\, he taught at U-M in LACS and PICS.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Andean Circle (Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SoConDi
DESCRIPTION:This study analyzes word order variation in Transylvanian Saxon (TS) verbal complexes\, in a multilingual community from Viscri\, Romania. Due to a massive exodus after the revolution in Romania\, the number of TS speakers has drastically diminished over the past 25 years\, leaving only 15 speakers in the village. Such dramatic reduction has resulted in language shift from TS to German or Romanian. Upon analyzing speech data from 6 participants\, aged 30 - 78\, I show that this shift involves contact-induced variation in the structure of TS verbal complexes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Origin of Grand Canyon:  The Roles of the California\, Arizona and Colorado Rivers
DESCRIPTION:Grand Canyon was incised in Campanian time by the California River\, a mainstem river that transported arc detritus from the Mojave-Sierran arc of California to the orogenic foreland.  The modern Geand Canyon landscape passes two fundamental tests of long-term\, kilometer-scale equilibrium erosion since Laramide incision: (1) Perturb the modern landscape with hard rock\, and it quickly erodes back very close its initial form\, and no farther\; the disequilibrium erosion rates are orders of magnitude greater than the long-term erosion rate\; (2) The thermal history of the modern surface does not vary significantly with elevation.  A key prediction of long-term equilibrium erosion is that Grand Canyon existed through essentially all of Cenozoic time\, and so evidence of detritus derived from it should be found in Tertiary basins in surrounding lowlands.  Certain orthoquartzite clasts within gravels in the upper part of the Sespe Fm.\, a mid-Tertiary delta complex in coastal southern California\, appear to exhibit a combination of petrographic\, geochemical\, paleomagnetic and detrital zircon signatures that are unique to the Shinumo Quartzite\, a ca. 1.1 Ga orthoquartzite known only from the Upper Granite Gorge region of Grand Canyon. This discovery corroborates earlier suggestions that an “Arizona River” drainage system\, precursory to the formation of the modern Colorado River (but with a much more limited drainage area)\, was supplying detritus to the coastal borderlands in mid-Tertiary time\, and that the post-Laramide drainage divide had locally migrated as far east as the cratonic interior of North America by the end of Laramide time.  Intergration of inland drainages with the Arizona River six million years ago marked an eastward shift of the continental divide to its present position in Colorado.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mark Wilkinson\, Life Sciences Department\, Natural History Museum\, London\n\nSouth Asia is home to a rich endemic biodiversity. Studies of many components of this biodiversity are not only interesting in their own right but are also needed for global perspectives on the origins and evolution of animal\, plant and fugal groups that have more cosmopolitan distributions. However\, much South Asian biodiversity is poorly known and understudied such that there is much more remaining to be discovered (and opportunities for exciting discoveries). I will give some examples of recent biodiversity research in South Asia. Beyond the biology per se I will also highlight and discuss obstacles to biodiversity research in South Asia from a historical perspective. I will suggest that\, at least in some areas\, there are strong indications of substantial advances in science quality associated with the maturation of a new generation of biodiversity scientists.\n\nMark Wilkinson is a British Evolutionary Biologists. He is currently Head of Vertebrates in the Department of Life Sciences at the Natural History Museum having previously lectured at the Universities of Bristol and Glasgow. He holds honorary and visiting professorships at University College London and the Free University of Brussels\, is a Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences and is President-Elect of the Systematics Association. He has been conducting and encouraging research on the caecilian amphibians of South Asia for more than 20 years and has spent many months there pursuing collaborations with many South Asian scientists.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This presentation reviews current research in our Phonetics Lab\, conducted in collaboration between Professors Pam Beddor and Andries Coetzee. Our research focuses on community level variability in speech production and perception\, and on how individual members of a community perform within the complex variable landscape of their speech community. \n\nSince ongoing sound changes are characterized by variability\, understanding the structure of variation\, and in particular the relation between perception and production in individual members of a speech community\, can shed light on how sound changes are initiated and how they progress through a speech community.  Do perception and production norms change together\, or are they partially independent such that change in the one can lead change in the other? If they change separately\, which is more likely to change first? Are individuals who produce innovative forms also more likely to rely on the innovative cues in perception?\n\nTo investigate these questions\, this presentation will focus on the results of a study on the ongoing process of tonogenesis in Afrikaans. In Afrikaans\, the historical distinction between voiced and voiceless plosives is currently being replaced by a distinction between high and low tone on neighboring vowels. This presentation will show how this change is realized in the speech community\, with particular focus on the relation between perception and production norms in individual members of the community. The presentation will end with a brief review of a currently ongoing study that uses eye-tracking technology and airflow measures to investigate the relationship between the perception and production of anticipatory nasalization in English ('sent' produced with a nasal vowel). The implications of these studies for theories about the cognitive representation of speech and theories of sound change will be considered.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Musicology Lecture: Holly Watkins\, Eastman School of Music
DESCRIPTION:Taking biosemiotics as its point of departure\, this lecture argues that the modernist notion of “sounds themselves” (developed by nature-loving composers such as John Cage and John Luther Adams) articulates not closeness to nature but distance from it. Watkins’ paper charts alternative common ground between music and natural sound based on the semiotic character of both.
